12-76 Ninety-Nine Horses

Everyone burst into tears at this moment, they knew that they were saved, the Ming Dynasty was not without men, not without heroes, whenever the Chinese nation reached the most dangerous time, there would always be people who stepped forward to turn the tide, and the shame of the apocalypse was no exception, and they, these captured clansmen, were the witnesses of this battle of national fortune.

There are not many cavalry roaring down from the hillside, and there are only one hundred and ten people in full battle, but the prestige is like a million heroes, especially the eighteen battle flags that are waving with the wind, and the four inspiring big characters: Liu Ziguang arrives! Tell his enemies in the most plain and arrogant language that Lao Tzu is coming! What a contempt for the world, what a heroism!

The clans suddenly had the backbone of the family, and one by one their waists were also straightened, and the ladies and ladies couldn't help but cry, and the men still maintained their dignity with straight faces, but the tears flashing in their eyes and their lips that couldn't help but tremble betrayed them deeply. At this moment, everyone was moved by the red shirts, and they were all moved by Liu Ziguang.

In the royal car, the queen heard the movement outside, climbed to the roof of the car to take a look, quickly got down and shook the queen mother's arm and said: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the horse is here to help!" Tears came out as he spoke, big tears fell on the queen mother's dry face, the queen mother had a stroke for a long time, and was captured by the barbarians, she was already so angry that she couldn't move, couldn't speak, and had to be served by someone to eat, drink and lazar, at this moment when she heard the queen's words, her eyes suddenly opened, and she looked at her daughter-in-law suspiciously, Xu Yuanhui thought that the queen mother didn't understand, and said loudly: "It's your son-in-law Liu Ziguang who is here!" Liu Ziguang! Zhen Guogong! The first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty! ”

This time the queen mother finally understood, muddy tears flowed out of her already dry eyes, her son was mediocre and incompetent, pro-villain, far virtuous minister, ran away by himself in danger, and threw his mother and daughter-in-law to the Tartar not to say, he didn't want Jiangshan Sheji, and at the critical moment, it was still the son-in-law's top matter, the old man's lips trembled and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, Xu Yuanhui understood, and cried: "The queen mother doesn't need to worry, the grandfather of the country is not afraid of anything when he comes." Then the mother and mother hugged their heads and cried.

One hundred and ten knights ran wildly in the night, and the pillar of light in the sky had been shining on them, like the protection of God, but such a weak team of more than 10,000 people seemed too thin after all, and suddenly the pillar of light in the sky turned, shining towards the Xixia car array, the dazzling light illuminated them couldn't open their eyes, and the ugliness of pouting their buttocks and bleeding was revealed, and some people who were slightly poisoned had already put on their pants and were lying behind the car formation to release arrows, but the surrounding conditions made them sweat coldly.

Torches surging in all directions, it seems that there are hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding them, and the sound of war drums in the sky has also changed, becoming the pipa song "Ambush on Ten Sides", the spirit of the soldiers in the music is very strong, indicating that the danger is lurking, and the enemy troops around are like four copper walls and iron walls around them, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded through the four fields, which is a real army of thousands of horses.

It's over, the enemy has the protection of Changshengtian, we are not unjustly defeated, the Western Xia army, who has experienced a hundred battles but has never experienced this situation, finally gave up resistance, not that they are not brave enough, but what they see is completely out of the psychological understanding, can bear the degree, and fight with people, even if they hit the last person, they are not afraid, but against Changshengtian, these Mongolian soldiers have no courage.

Then again, even if they have the courage to resist, they don't have that strength anymore, they all have a strain and their faces are green, what to fight with others, the middle of the car formation is full of and urine, and they are slippery when they walk, and the few remaining guys who can fight are not the opponents of the Red Shirts, so the ninety-nine knights rushed to the car formation without any danger, jumped on the cart, and shouted with double guns in their hands: "The Red Shirts are here, whoever moves will kill whom." ”

This is pure nonsense, nearly 10,000 Xixia soldiers, there are few who can move, basically they are lying in the pile of and urine humming, can't climb up, a few guys who can still move obediently dropped their weapons and raised their hands to be prisoners, seeing that the general trend has been decided, the nobles of the clan dare to vent their grievances for many days, copy the guys who are handy, have revenge, have grievances, and use the most primitive methods to seek justice for the humiliation they have suffered.

Reinforcements from all directions also arrived, and the common people of Yishui wore straw sandals and hats, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, such as claw hooks, dung forks, shovels, hoes, sickles, axes, and guillotines, basically there were no serious weapons, all of them were farm tools.

There are a lot of ordinary people coming, the mountains are full of people, the local officials and soap officials with black yarn and round collar are trying to coordinate their work, moving the cart array, gathering the captive mules and horses, and using iron shovels to pick up the feces and urine to fertilize the land in the future, only those clan nobles have no one to take care of, and they don't dare to run around, waiting for Liu Ziguang's arrival one by one.

Suddenly, one of the people shouted, "Grandpa Guo is here!" Then everyone bowed down together, thousands of people bowed down together, like crops blown down by the wind as spectacular, Liu Ziguang wore a half-old red shirt, hung a sword at his waist, strode over, while walking on both sides of the gesture, came to this group of clans, did not look at them, went straight to the royal car, in front of the royal car to pick up the robe and bow down, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, the son is late to save the car, capital crime!" ”

This is exquisite, claiming to be a son, not a criminal minister, indicating that he does not recognize the charges imposed on him by Zhu Youxiao, this is a great rebellious crime, don't care if you are wronged or not, before the emperor rehabilitates Zhaoxue, you can only be guilty, Liu Ziguang This guy is arrogant, the clans all turned their heads to stare at the royal car, to see how the queen and the queen mother answered.

After a while, the queen's voice came from the royal car: "Zhenguo Gong has a meritorious service in saving the driver, what is the crime, come to someone, give a seat." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, the queen had to be treated, and all Liu Ziguang's charges were erased in one sentence, she was determined to fight against the emperor, but it is understandable that the queen has been beaten into the cold palace, and Wei Guogong has also been killed, she is already inseparable from the emperor, at this time, she is under the roof, how can she not save face for Liu Ziguang.

Where is there a seat in the wilderness, there are no palace maids and eunuchs in front of the queen, or Liu Ziguang's subordinates have eyes, and moved a hu bed over to invite Liu Ziguang to sit down, Liu Ziguang sat down with a golden knife, thanked him first, and then asked: "Do the queen mother and the queen have any orders for the ministers to do?" ”

The queen mother had a stroke and couldn't speak, but it was still the queen who replied: "The princess of the country is busy with military affairs, please take care of yourself, but the queen of Xixia, Anu, is kind to the queen mother and the palace, and I also ask the princess to deal with it as appropriate." ”

Liu Ziguang naturally promised, arranged some soldiers to guard the royal car, and led his subordinates to busy themselves, the half-dead prisoners are a problem, and it is not easy to deal with them when they are relieved, there are not so many ropes and shackles, there are not so many guards and soldiers, and even food is insufficient, these Western Xia elite soldiers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and it is definitely a disaster to stay.

Liu Ziguang called a few local county officials, whispered a few words, made a gesture of cutting melons, they happily took the order, commanded the peasants in a group of three, and a group of five to carry the captives to the side to solve them, poor these villagers have never seen blood in their lives, but tonight the meat is opened, the white sickle goes in and the red sickle comes out, the black hoe goes down and the red hoe comes up, killing the blood into a river, frightened and frightened, many people vomit on the spot with disgust, only some people slaughter dogs and pigs like fish in water, and the pig killing knife flies up and down, A knife wiped the neck and inserted the heart, very neat.

The sky was slightly bright, the eastern sky showed the color of fish belly white, and then a round of red sun jumped out, the day dawned, the blood flowed into a river on the land of Jianghuai, the pond that was drunk dry by the Xixia soldiers had been filled with corpses at this time, poor 20,000 Xixia cowardly Xue army, half of them were burned to death by fire, half were killed by the peasants with hoes and sickles, as a warrior, it was really sad to the extreme.

The people of the four towns and eight counties are all here, transporting dry food and soup, collecting all kinds of booty, burying the corpses and cleaning the battlefield, tens of thousands of people are in full swing, in good order, the people of the Huaihe River valley have always had the tradition of going out of the river to work, that is a big project of more than 100,000 people going into battle, today this can only be regarded as a small job, and the river workers are the government conscription, only care about food and do not give money, today this business is not the same, the grandfather promised to give them all the captured livestock, that is tens of thousands of hard-working Mongolian horses, pulling people to pull goods and push grinding and plowing are OK, the Zhuang people do not like gold and silver treasures silk and satin, the favorite is land and livestock, out of a day's work, a family can get a horse, this trade is simply too cost-effective, no wonder the people enthusiastically participated, according to the conservative estimates of the county officials, there are 100,000 people who directly participated in this battle, and the number of various logistical support is not less than 200,000......

In the cowhide tent of the Western Xia commander, Anu was crooked on the marching bed, looking at the young man in front of him with a somewhat haggard face, and asked in a weak voice: "You are Liu Ziguang?" ”

Liu Ziguang looked up and down at this heroine who led the army to run thousands of miles and smashed Nanjing, only to see that she was embarrassed at this time, her pants and belts were not tied to get acquainted, her waist was exposed to a touch of snow white, and her face was even more ugly.

"You're Anu?" Liu Ziguang asked rhetorically, Anu just nodded slightly, Liu Ziguang also nodded, beckoned someone to bring a bowl of Chinese medicine and said, "It's okay if you drink it." ”

Anu knew that the matter had come to this point, and the other party would never poison him, so he barely supported himself and poured the bowl of potion down, and after a while, his face was a little ruddy, and there was no longer a gurgling sound in his stomach.

Anu recovered a little bit of vitality, then gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Ziguang, how many soldiers and horses did you bring and what tricks did you use to defeat my 20,000 iron horsemen overnight?" ”

Liu Ziguang smiled faintly and said: "It's not much, even me is only ninety-nine horses." ”
