Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Changping Soldiers Go to the Death and Go Against the Current
After the battle began, Shi Dayong did not obey Zhang Chun's orders, and the headquarters was three miles away from the army, but led the old camp of Songshan and the three thousand Changping disciples to move closer to the army without hesitation.
Like the children of Yulin, Shaanxi, this Changping disciple seems to be born with a strong army, and he has no fear of the battlefield, even if the cannon roars in front of him, none of the three thousand children have a fearful face.
Changping is a suburb of Beijing, but Yulin is a land of nine sides, one of the two has not been swords and guns for a hundred years, and the other has not left swords and guns for a hundred years. It stands to reason that this child should also be completely different, one is literary, the other is martial, but this Changping child is born with a strong army like the Yulin child, which is really incomprehensible.
Shi Dayong couldn't figure out how this Changping kid was so not afraid of death, he couldn't figure it out, not only could he not figure it out, but history couldn't explain this puzzle.
History, there are too many puzzles, just like the battle of the Great Linghe, the strange battle situation left too many puzzles for future generations.
I can't figure it out, but I'm determined.
The closer he got to the army, the more determined Shi Dayong's heart became, and what made him determined was not the battle situation in front of him, but the three thousand Changping soldiers behind him who were not afraid of death.
If a person is not afraid of death, he can move forward bravely.
…………
Seeing that the army defeated the Jin soldiers, they marched all the way to the Xiaoling River, and when they were about to cross the river, they were attacked by the artillery of the Jin army, and the formation was stagnant.
originally thought that Zhang Chun would order a retreat, reorganize the array and camp on the spot relying on Changshan, in order to fight again, but he didn't want Zhang Chun to order the army to continue to advance in the face of the Jin army's artillery fire.
The army crossed the river, and the artillery of the Jin army was also dumbfounded, but the red flag that had withdrawn to the other side of the river crossed the river again to counterattack.
Shi Dayong didn't know anything about how he fought in front of him, and whether he had annihilated the cavalry with the red flag, only that he shouted and killed in front of the road, and tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in the large array was crowded, and the terrain of the plain made it impossible to know what the battle situation was in front of the road.
Although he was worried that the army would not be able to support him, he could not lead his troops to rush forward. Because the Ming army array in front of it is still intact, if Shi Bu rushes forward, not only will it not help the army, but it will add to the chaos.
No matter how I don't know the soldiers, I also know that this Xiaoling River is the key to life and death, crossing the river, there is still a line of turnaround, if you can't cross the river, the Daling River will be rested, and the army will be annihilated by the Jiannu army.
This place is more than ten miles away from Jinzhou, except for those cavalry who can escape with their horses, how can the 30,000 foot soldiers escape back!
Success or failure is in this battle across the river, this point, Zhang Chun thought, Huang Taiji thought, Shi Dayong thought, and similarly, the generals of the two sides also thought of it, so there will be the courageous advance of the Manku and the Wang's treasury, and there will be the Jedi counterattack of Azig!
…………
In the anxious waiting, Shi Dayong witnessed how the army was defeated, and the tens of thousands of Eight Banners cavalry seemed to be demons released from hell, harvesting the lives of the Ming soldiers one by one.
Defeated, defeated, the army in front was already in chaos, and thousands of defeated soldiers ran towards the rear.
As the crowd became thinner and more dispersed, Shi Dayong saw the banner of the Chinese army still standing in the wind.
Under the banner, there is the commander of the army who is over the age of sixtieth birthday - Zhang Chun, a sixty-five-year-old man!
The old man of the sixtieth birthday is still fighting to the end, and he would rather die than retreat, and I am in the prime of life!
Without superfluous words or fancy movements, Shi Dayong quietly put the bronze mask on his face, then turned over and jumped off the horse.
Calmly facing the generals, he said: "The army has been defeated, but the military master is still insisting, we should follow the military master to death, so it is the true character of the Ming army." ”
There was no response, Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, Huang An, Shao Wu, Li Dashan, Ma Zhong, Sun Youjin and other officers did not voice the proposal, but none of them spoke up to oppose it, but looked at their generals with a firm face.
Firm, resolutely determined.
They have already made their choice, just as they were under the city of Dalinghe and under the city of Jinzhou that day.
If the upper is not afraid of death, the lower will follow; If the top is afraid of death, the bottom will abandon it!
"The whole army obeys the order, and moves forward with the generals, there is no battle left, just to die!"
With the support of his subordinates, Shi Dayong gave the order for the whole army to advance, to be exact, an order to dare to die.
"Death! Death! Death! ”
In the crowd, the young man who didn't want money at the Jinzhou City Gate suddenly shouted loudly, and in an instant, the chant of "Decisive Death" resounded throughout the sky.
The blood burned in the chest of the Songshan soldiers, and the blood burned in the hearts of the children of Changping.
The will to die, the wrath of the puppet.
Amid the drums of war and the heroic shouts, Shi Dayong, a general of Jinzhou, led his 3,264 subordinates to the battlefield of hell.
…………
Everyone walked on their feet, although it was only two or three miles away from the Xiaoling River, Shi Dayong still ordered everyone to dismount and walk, even the wolf cavalry also dismounted, because Shi Dayong wanted to leave enough horsepower for the wolf cavalry to charge.
Those Changping children who volunteered to sign up for the wolf cavalry, led by the veterans, walked forward empty-handed, without armor on their bodies. Their armor and the armor of their horses were carried on the shoulders of six hundred unarmed Changping disciples.
Ahead, there are more and more defeated troops, pouring in all directions, and there is only one goal, which is behind the Songshan Army - Jinzhou.
Shi Dayong had no intention of stopping those routs, everyone had the right to live, and he had no right to ask others to die like him.
At first, only shouting asked the defeated soldiers to retreat to both sides, but as the defeated soldiers increased, the defeated soldiers began to rush towards the Songshan army, and the shouting was no longer effective, and those defeated soldiers who only cared about survival had lost their minds.
Shi Dayong no longer hesitated, and ordered Cao Bianjiao without hesitation: "Xiao Cao, those who stand in my way, kill!" ”
"Yes, General!"
Cao Bianjiao, who received the order, first brandished a big knife and cut down the two routers. Under his example, the bird gun in front of him also fired the fire gun in front of him.
In the "bang", nearly 100 defeated soldiers were knocked to the ground, groaning in pain.
Hundreds of spears were also drawn forward at the same time, and the sharp spearheads told the panicked routs that this was the way to go!
The routs were startled by the sound of firecrackers, and when they saw the soldiers and horses behind them who dared to kill their own people, a guerrilla who escaped was furious, rushed out of the crowd, pointed at the Songshan army and scolded: "His grandmother, where did you come out, why stop us!" Get out of the way, you don't want to stop you, but don't drag you into the water! ”
What answered him was - "My general has an order, and you ask for life, and my general will not stop you, but you can't impact our army's array, otherwise, you will be killed!" ”
The guerrilla heard this, and snorted coldly: "What a big breath, is your general the master of Zhentai or the deputy general of the seal?" What kind of people are you, a bunch of rookies? What a hero! Get out of the way, or I'll give the order to rush!" ”
"My general is Shi Dayong, the new Jinzhou general, and our army is the Songshan Army!"
"Matsuyama Shi Dayong?!"
Hearing this name, that guerrilla is a spirit, could it be Shi Dayong who fought with the Tartars outside the city, almost wiped out the whole army, and was cut off half of his face by his own Hongyi cannon at the end? !
I heard that this guy has drunk Tartar blood and eaten Tartar meat, and he is really a fierce god.
Shi Dayong's deeds of eating human flesh and drinking human blood made this guerrilla shudder, although the opponent did not have many soldiers and horses, only 3,000 people, but the formation was neat, the morale was also high, and in front of him was a group of veterans who were eyeing each other, and at first glance they were crawling out of the pile of dead people, with a murderous aura on their bodies, showing that God came to kill God and Buddha to kill Buddha.
If you really want to rush hard, I am afraid that the other party will not be soft.
Forget it, why bother with these guys who sent them to death, the registered one of Lord Yama can't afford to provoke him!
The guerrilla didn't think much about it anymore, and hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted: "Since it is General Shi, the last general will take people to retreat to the side, but it is good for General Shi to know that we have been defeated, this will Jiannu has crossed the river, and most of the general's foot soldiers are rushing up at the risk of death, I am afraid that it is very dangerous to die in my life, so it is better to listen to the advice of the last general and turn around quickly." ”
"The banner of the Chinese army is still there, how can our army be defeated!" Guo Yi shouted angrily.
"This"
The guerrilla was silent for a while, and many of the defeated soldiers looked behind them when they heard the words, and sure enough, the banner of the Chinese army was still there, and there were still countless soldiers under the banner fighting with the Jiannu cavalry. There were also several battle formations on the left and right flanks resisting. The cavalry of Jiannu crossing the river was pinned down by these Ming troops who insisted on resisting, and there was no division of troops to pursue and kill the defeated soldiers for a while.
The commander's banner was still there, but he fled, and for a while, the defeated soldiers were a little embarrassed, and some even wondered if they would go back to meet the Chinese army.
At this time, the Matsuyama army on the opposite side shouted again:
"My general said, you are only two legs, but Jiannu is four-legged, this place is more than ten miles away from Jinzhou, the army is really defeated, how can Jiannu let you escape? You can escape here, but Jiannu was restrained by our brothers who didn't escape, so they didn't come to chase you, but once the soldiers can't hold on, Jiannu will definitely divide troops to chase you, and at that time, you won't be able to run to Jinzhou at all! ”
"Do you continue to run, or like a man, go with our Songshan Army to resist Jiannu with the soldiers, you make your own decisions, don't stand in our way now, otherwise, don't blame us for not having a comradeship!"
The sound fell, and the Songshan army continued to advance, and those routed soldiers saw this and gave way to both sides.
Seeing that the guerrilla master was stunned, one of the guerrilla subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do?" ”
The guerrilla looked at the Songshan Army, who was marching towards the banner of the Chinese army, gritted his teeth and said: "Then Shi Dayong is right, we can't outrun the Jiannu War Horse on two legs!" In the end, it is either to ask Jiannu to catch up and kill, or to be captured by them, in this case, what are we going to run, the only way to survive at the moment is to go back and fight with the Tartars! I can't say that there is still a chance of life! ”
Hearing this, Mr. Qian was stunned, swallowed his throat, and said with difficulty: "My lord, the Tartars are all cavalry, we can't beat them..."
"If you're afraid of death, run by yourself!"
The guerrilla seemed to have made up his mind, no longer paid attention to the Qianzong, and waved his hand and shouted at the defeated soldiers who were still stunned: "Brothers, go back with General Songshan Shi who is not afraid of death!" Even if you are dead, you are also a hero, it is better than being cut down by Jiannu! ”
After speaking, he took the lead and followed the ranks of the Songshan Army towards the banner of the Chinese army. Mr. Qian hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed. The two officers took the lead, and the routs who were still hesitating stopped running away, yes, no matter how hard they ran, they were not as fast as the Tartars' war horses, since they couldn't run back, it was better to turn back and fight with the Tartars! Death is also a way to die!
There were more and more routs turning back, and soon, no less than 2,000 routs were followed by the Matsuyama army.
These more than 5,000 people rushed to the battlefield, and when there were still thousands of routs on both sides, it was like a countercurrent, but it was more like a small boat in the ocean, and it could be destroyed at any time.
