Chapter 21: Independence (4)
Chen San and the others didn't know how Ding Yi knew, but the Ming troops who rushed back in a hurry, whether their frightened expressions or the arrows on the wounded, were proving the correctness of Ding Yi's prediction.
Therefore, when the Warats surrounded the Tumu Fort and sent an envoy to negotiate peace, Ding issued an order: "The army will soon be defeated, and it is time for us to go into battle and prepare for battle." "None of the more than 60 people had any doubts, and they all prepared their weapons according to the rhythm of the upcoming battle. But I heard Ding Yi say to Chen San: "Pick a helper and go to my eldest brother immediately." "This is also the haode plan when entering the Bauhinia Pass, Chen San has been paying attention to the location of Li Xian's civil officials, and at this time, he listened to Ding Yi's order, and immediately responded, called a sergeant, and hurried away.
Even after the negotiation of the envoy of the first one, the Warat army surrounding the civil fort began to slowly withdraw, and the more than sixty people on Ding Yi's side still did not relax, "A group of five, go to the middle." Move fast. Hu Shan ordered his sergeants. Among the Ming army, except for the emperor, Shoufu and Wang Zhen, who has water to drink and something to eat, then it is Ding Yi and the more than 60 people, because Ding Yi has already asked Liu Yiyi to bury fried noodles and water near the left.
The other sixty people formed a dense phalanx and blocked the five people who were eating and drinking in the middle, otherwise they would definitely be torn to pieces if they were found to have something to eat and drink. The Ming army on their side was very unimpressed with this group of brocade guards, thinking that they were just pretending, obviously the army had withdrawn, and who were still setting the rules here to see?
Not long after, a number of heralds galloped out of the imperial camp, but it was Wang Zhen who ordered the camp to be moved.
Ding Yi and the more than 60 people had already finished eating and drinking water, twisted their spears, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
The large army of the Ming army moved to the south of the water source, and many battalion leaders passed by them. Laughing at Ding Yi's small troops, but there is no need for Ding Yi or Hu Shan to say anything, these more than 60 people have no one to doubt the judgment, Ding Yi said that the Warat army and horses will be killed in a while, and the 200,000 people will be killed, then it must be true.
The hungry and thirsty sergeants gradually disorganized their camps, and the various battalions mixed and rushed to the river. As if confirming Ding Yi's words, the sound of the horns of the Warat people sounded at this moment. A black line surged from the field of vision, and the Ming army, which was rushing to the water source, completely lost order and organization, and some people felt that they had to drink a sip of water before they died; Some people want to shift gears, but they don't know where they should be; Some people feel that they will flee east or live; Some people think it might be safer to jump into the river......
200,000 troops. In the entire 200,000 Ming army, even the pro-army guards of the imperial camp were scattered by the chaotic army in the camp;
There was only a small army of more than sixty people. Keeping the establishment on the move. There were also several baggage wagons behind their queue.
Seeing the Warat army slaughtering the Ming army that rushed to the river, Wang Zhen stood outside the military tent and only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and the small yellow door on the side was so frightened that he couldn't help asking: "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor......" Before he finished speaking, he was cut unconscious by Ding Yi's hand and palm, and then Ding Yi couldn't help but push Wang Zhenxin's side in the queue, and seven or eight people put the brocade sweater armor on him.
Chen San immediately uncovered a baggage carriage. A person turned out from inside, and uncontrollably drew a knife and slashed it down on the neck, throwing the head at Ding Yi, who held the head and shouted loudly: "Punish the thief for the country!" Wang Zhen is dead! ”
This is a stand-in for haode that has been prepared for a long time. From the beginning, Ding Yi did not think that Wang Zhen would be able to follow his own persuasion and thus change the trajectory of history; Therefore, after entering the Bauhinia Pass, he immediately returned to Beijing and brought this former Wang Zhen - under his repeated instructions - prepared a haode stand-in, which was also a large part of the reason why he wanted to disguise himself as a baggage soldier.
He couldn't bear to see Wang Zhen die here, no matter what history said about him, at least he was impeccable to Ding Yi.
At this time, the seven or eight who helped Wang Zhen change his clothes and armor, untied the horses on the baggage carriage, they were originally war horses, and helped Wang Zhen up, and the seven or eight horses were led by Xu Niu, and Chong Ding Yi asked, "Sir?" ”
"Do what you do!" Ding Yi didn't have time to talk nonsense at this time, the contingency measures had already been arranged, and if he made a mistake, he would definitely not have time to make up for it.
Xu Niu knew that every second was racing at this time, and he didn't say much, pulling Wang Zhen's horse reins, and galloping away with the seven or eight horses, no matter who was in the way, the knife and the horse were ruthless, and rushed fifty or sixty steps, and the crowd all avoided it, but there were three horsemen rushing out, and it was Chen San who took that sergeant to protect Li Xian and squeezed here.
The two teams of men and horses rushed south in one team, squeezing out the tide of rebellious soldiers, Xu Niu and Chen San went their separate ways, and they didn't mention their own places to go for the time being.
At this time, Ding Yi, who was in front of the imperial camp, shouted: "A! The baggage carts were uncovered one by one, and more than fifty people were draped over their bodies with fish scale armor. Ding Yi threw the head in his hand in front of the gate of the imperial camp, and led the fifty or so people, like a hard reef, and stood there.
There was a team of Wara army slashing and killing the Ming army, and cut down a few Ming troops but saw Ding Yi and them arrayed in front, the centurion couldn't help but sneer: "The Ming dog is cheap, and it is a knife both horizontally and vertically, so I don't know how to make the old man happy!" Kill them! The men didn't even take off their bows, but roared and rode their horses and rushed in.
Ding Yi smiled coldly and said to Hu Shan: "I'll leave it to you." Then he turned around and walked into the tent where Yingzong was.
There were not many people in the big tent, only three people.
There was a guy who looked like a Mongolian who was also wearing a guard robe, and a small yellow door rope was shrunk aside, but Yingzong was sitting cross-legged in the tent, wearing gorgeous armor, and the war knife was placed next to his hand, watching Ding Yi enter, which surprised him a little. Ding Yi pulled up the little yellow door at this time and asked, "Where did Fan Zhong go?" ”
"Go, go, go get water...... the little yellow door trembled for a long time, and the upper and lower teeth fought before squeezing out such a sentence. In the sound of horses' hooves, shouting and killing, screaming, the sound of blades entering flesh, and the sound of bowstrings colliding, this little yellow gate was not much different from the rout outside, and his spirit had obviously collapsed.
Yingzong looked up at Ding Yi at this time, and said calmly, "Run for your life."
did not panic when the catastrophe came, nor did he say some temptations such as adding officials to the knighthood to let Ding Yi work for himself. Yingzong's eyes were not panicked, there was only calm, and he repeated again: "Run for your life." "But the little yellow door that was thrown down by Ding Yi, holding Ding Yi's legs, exuding a begging look, as if hoping to let Ding Yi take him away, most of the eunuchs are used to clinging to the strong, and they don't look good, for example, the chief eunuch of the celebrant always has many eunuchs such as "children" and "grandchildren", and once the big eunuch loses power, most of these "children and grandchildren" will rush to the court.
Ding Yi was a strong man in the eyes of Xiao Huangmen at this time.
But in response to him, it was Ding Yi, who he regarded as a strong man, who kicked him away.
"You're my friend, even though I'm just a passerby, a courtier, or some other mess to you." Ding Yi smiled and bent down to pick up the war knife beside the emperor, stuffed it into the emperor's hand, and then said to him, "I will not leave my friend." ”
Yingzong struggled to let Ding Yi hold his hand, stood up by himself, and looked at Ding Yi without saying anything.
He knew when to say something, and he knew he didn't have to say anything at this point.
When Ding Yi and Yingzong walked out of the big tent, the head of "Wang Zhen", or his stand-in, was no longer there, because in the jihua arranged by Ding Yi, this head would be sent to Shoufu or the British Duke if they did not die so quickly in the rebellion.
The centurion who had rushed to Hu Shan's more than 50 people had already died in front of him with his subordinates, leaving only more than ten war horses captured by Hu Shan. Of course, Hu Shan and the others did not completely annihilate the small army of more than 100 people, and after the dense crossbow bolts inflicted more than 20% casualties on the opponent and killed their leader, this small army from the grassland collapsed.
But this can't change anything, the Ming army is still retreating and fleeing, when Ding Yi came out with Yingzong, he saw Hu Shan pulling every soldier passing by the side of the small phalanx, shouting to them: "Don't panic!" The Warat people are also the first and two hands...... "Few people listened to him, the routs shouted and threw off Hu Shan, and some even waved the knives and guns in their hands at him, begging Hu Shan not to stop them from fleeing, although they didn't know where to flee at all, but staying away from this slaughterhouse was the only wish in their hearts.
"The tide is over." Yingzong stood in front of the tent and looked at these fleeing soldiers, looked at the Warat people who were wantonly slashing with horses and horizontal knives not far away, and said indifferently, "I don't escape, you can go by yourself." Seeing that Ding Yi ignored him at all, Yingzong couldn't help but feel a little depressed, "As an official of the imperial court, why don't you obey the king's orders?" ”
Ding Yi didn't look back, but said with a smile: "Come on, what about returning the court officials?" Yingzong couldn't help but be stunned, it was the first time he heard someone dare to speak to him like this, only to hear Ding Yi say again, "Knowing that I will not escape here?" I regard you as a confidant; Do you know why I see you as a confidant? Because you were born as a prince, you enjoy all the fine clothes and food, but you still have blood. So much for. ”
He didn't say any more, it's not that he didn't want to say it, it was originally the most timeful season for brainwashing and friendship, and normally speaking, people's will was the weakest at this time. Ding Yi didn't dare to say it, because Yingzong was definitely not a person who was easy to fool, on the contrary, Yingzong was a very strong and extremely powerful fool! (To be continued......)
