Chapter 22: Independence (5)

The emperors who were also captured in history, there were Zhao Jiye and others, Li Houzhu and so on, don't mention Li Houzhu, he can't even keep his own woman, Zuihou was poisoned; Zhao Ji's father and son were more bitter than Empress Li, not only were they humiliated in every way, but the daughters of the harem and clan who were captured were trampled on arbitrarily, and Zuihou also died in humiliation in the city of the Five Kingdoms.

Yingzong is different, although he went to Wara and was captured, he can fool, although life is hard, he has not suffered any humiliation, and there are people around him who serve, and he feels like he is being offered as a living Buddha; Even the traitor Xining, who betrayed him and threw himself into Wara, could be killed by him, and he did not embarrass Yingzong because of this attack; Zuihou can still fool him and send him back to Daming first.

What negotiator, psychiatrist can fool with this one?

Ding Yi really didn't dare to say too much, in front of this person, he was afraid to show cowardice if he said too much.

The Ming army fled in disarray around them was ten times that of the Warat army, but the shortage of food and grass for several days had caused their physical strength to fall to the bottom; As for the morale, don't mention it, when the division went out in Beijing, as a soldier who followed the royal drive to fight in person, he naturally had high morale, but when he went to Datong and listened to the defeat in front of him, he then withdrew his troops in disgrace, walked to Bauhinia Pass for a while, and was called back to retreat to the route out of Beijing.

Not to mention that Cheng Guogong took 50,000 horses out, and there was no sound at all at this time, but the Warat army was approaching.

If there is still a little will to support, the emperor here is negotiating peace with the Warat people, seeing that the Warat army and horses have withdrawn, there is no food to eat, and he still says that he gritted his teeth and held on, and there was no water to drink?

Normally, it is seven days, and after seven days without water to drink, I will basically die of dehydration; It is also said that three days. It means not eating anything that contains water, such as fruits, etc.; If it's a desert, it's about a day.

Whether it is seven days or three days, these Ming troops still have to march!

How many people are drinking their own urine, there is nothing to be ashamed of, they are dying of thirst. It's really a season when you can't even pee, and when you see the Varat people withdrawing their troops, the river is on the side, who can hold it?

Just these more than 100,000 Ming troops are modern troops. It's all iron men, and they can't carry it.

Ding Yi was secretly glad that he knew about this situation and made preparations in advance, which is also the reason why Weishenme drank water and ate before, and all of them listed the formation to surround those people in the middle - the people on the side didn't even have to drink urine! Ding Yi felt that if he hadn't made arrangements in advance. Even if he survived until this time, he was definitely one of the people who was arbitrarily slashed by Warat by the river.

They are all dying of dehydration. What else is there to talk about?

Is it possible that everyone can still stand here and wait for death? Qiu Shaoyun is just such an example!

So when the Warats turn back and kill the past. Those who were severely dehydrated and completely out of formation, the Ming army was completely incapable of resisting. Otherwise, Yingzong's guards would not have been swept away by the rout, no matter how strong this person is, he will march back and forth without giving water to drink, not to mention iron men, robots can't carry it, let alone flesh and blood.

It seems in the history books. How many Ming troops were there in Tumubao? Some say 200,000, some say 500,000; How many people are there in the Warats? Some say 20,000, and the most goes all the way to 70,000 or 80,000...... But no matter how much, these are actually for future generations. It's just a string of numbers.

Standing on the battlefield, Ding Yi felt the powerlessness of life: all he could do was to run to the river and drink enough water, and then run for his life; or let the Warats hack to death before they run to the river; Or drink the water and let the Warats hack to death.

There is no fourth way, let alone turn around and flee, not to mention the speed difference between two-legged infantry and four-legged cavalry! How can people who are severely dehydrated escape? Those Ming soldiers who couldn't drink water were either trampled to death by the crowd, or paralyzed on the ground waiting to be squeezed down, and then trampled to death.

This is the battlefield.

What fell was not a cold number, but a fresh life, like a person in a deep dream.

Most of these fleeing Ming troops went to drink water and escaped by the river, so they had the strength to flee for their lives. Hu Shan's small phalanx of more than 50 people was so small in this battlefield that it was so small that even the routed soldiers were unwilling to attack, and directly bypassed them and fled to the side; And a few guys in civilian attire passed by, and they didn't ask for help from the brocade guards of these trains at all, and no one thought that this phalanx, with seven or eight people per line, a total of seven columns, could save anyone in this thousands of troops.

However, there were several groups of people who coveted the war horses that had just been captured behind the phalanx, and wanted to come over and grab a horse to escape for their lives-not only the sergeants, but also the civilian officials, and Yingzong and Ding Yi stood next to those horses, and no one came to the mountain to shout long live at this time, and there was no mention of the king, minister, father and son--so there was blood on the guns of the phalanx. Seeing his companions fall under the stabbing of the phalanx's guns, this made those routed soldiers dare not think again.

"Let's go!" Ding Yi helped Yingzong onto his horse, and beckoned a dozen or so Jinyi guards with better equestrian skills to ride the captured war horses on top of them, and divided them into two groups to rush to the left and right, but in the middle was the sergeant of the phalanx, who quickly withdrew from the passage opened up by the cavalry with their spears on their shoulders. This is the difference between an orderly evacuation and a rupture.

"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, there was a roar like a thunderstorm, and I watched a giant man riding a horse, with a big iron cone in his hand, sweeping away those routs, and following him a hundred and ten horsemen, all of them in full armor and murderous spirit. Ding Yi waved his knife and cut down a soldier who wanted to tear Yingzong off his horse, and looked back at the giant man, but it was the guard who was with him when Yingzong summoned him in Weifu before.

The giant man's big iron cone was probably one hundred and eighty pounds, and many routs were swept out with a wave of his hand, but he shouted: "Fan Zhong is here, and those who commit chaos will die!" The more than 100 horsemen behind him echoed in unison, "Death to those who commit trouble!" For a while, the surrounding rout soldiers were frightened, and they woke up one after another, the one in gold armor next to Ding Yi, isn't it the Great Tomorrow? I just wanted to tear him off the horse!

Ding Yi couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help cursing Fan Zhong in his heart: Do you think this is a stage? I'm sick!

This is to inform the Warat people that the great tomorrow is here, come and catch it?

Fan Zhong had already rushed to Yingzong's side at this time, and his eyes were red and said to Yingzong: "Weichen is guilty of death!" He didn't say a word of justification, nor did he ask himself why he hadn't seen anyone at this time when he had given an account to the other guards when he brought people to fetch water. He didn't complain about why Yingzong didn't wait for him in the big tent, but walked with Ding Yi and so on.

The so-called die-hard loyalists, that's roughly it.

Yingzong nodded immediately and smiled at Fan Zhong, "What is the crime? There is Lao Aiqing. Ding Yi couldn't help but praise in his heart when he looked at it, this one really has a little bit of bearing, when the thousands of troops and horses were scattered, he was not frightened and panicked, and the Praetorian Guards were scattered by the rout, and he did not let him lose his soul, at this time Fan Zhong caught up, he came to such a sentence, not to mention anything else, the psychological quality is indeed outstanding.

"You guys go quickly, I'll break off." Ding threw the reins of Yingzong's mount to Fan Zhong, but said to Hu Shan, "Can you still fight?" ”

"Can fight!" Hu Shan replied categorically.

He understood that Ding Yi Weishenme asked, because there were nearly 100 horsemen of Warat, who were slaughtering the Ming army while killing this place, if no one broke the queen, then once the emperor was bitten by this team of Warats, more and more Warats would join, and it would be impossible for Yingzong to escape.

Ding Yi swung his long knife, kicked at the horse's belly, and roared, "Charge!" ”

The war horse neighed in pain and flew with its hooves, knocking out three or four of the routs in front of them, so frightened that those routs hurriedly dodged the way, and the dozen or so sergeants on horses rushed out like this with Ding Yi, and went up the current among hundreds of thousands of routs, forcing the Warat army that was slaughtering and pursuing the Ming army.

Ding rushed a hundred and ten steps before he met a group of people who were scattering to slaughter and drive away the Ming army, and the people were startled by this military horse that was killed halfway, and the person at the head had just crossed the knife, and the long knife in Ding's hand had swept through his throat, and the big head flew out of the sky!

This team of Warat people has about 100 horses, watching their companions being killed, they can't help but get angry, if the two armies are against each other, they would have been killed at this time, but the Ming army is full of 200,000, plus the people or something, I am afraid of no less than 340,000 people, and the Warat army is 320,000 people, at this time the Ming army is discouraged, but in the rout tide to ride horses and run over, but it is not satisfactory, so those Warat people went to pick up the bow, who knew that Ding Yi was faster than them, pulled out the crossbow from behind with one hand, kicked and stepped on the ring in front of the crossbow and wound it, He shot the first Warats off his horse, and the dozen or so horsemen who rushed with him also fired crossbows, and in this round he shot down seven or eight Warats.

But as the war horse galloped, the rout subconsciously dispersed, and the group of Warats gathered together and rushed over with Ding Yi's dozens of horses, at this time, the dozens of horses behind Ding Yi had already shot two rounds, knocking down more than a dozen Warat people on the spot, this is not just a science and technology that transcends the times, the army dares to go upstream, dare to follow Ding Yi, outnumbered, is the blood burning!

They clenched their spears, even if they were against the Warats, no matter how strong their equestrian skills were, these soldiers who followed Ding Yi were never afraid, this was a kind of trust, and they followed Ding Yi's worship.

Staggered killing, Ding Yi only had two horses behind him.

And only two or three of the Warats were cut off their horses, and the battle loss ratio was basically seven to one.

Equestrianism is something that can't be faked, and the discipline of the army on the grassland is not good, but when the children in the Central Plains are still peeing and mud, the grassland children are already playing with horses...... Even if these sergeants who followed Ding Yi originally had an equestrian foundation and were not bad, but more than ten horses against one hundred and ten horses, this is hard to hard, how can there be any luck?

If the 200,000 Ming army can achieve seven to one battle losses, then most of the Ming army should be killed, and then all the forces of Warat will be destroyed; If the 200,000 Ming army can achieve 10 to 1 battle losses, then Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, will have to fight out 5,000 of the 50,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely retreat in the case of nearly 30% of the battle losses! If he doesn't retreat, he will risk collapsing!

But in reality, this is not the case. The Ming army couldn't do it, not even twenty to one, and the 50,000 people of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, didn't bring any trauma to the Warat people at all.

Seven to one, the half-hung cavalry of the farming nation is definitely a proud record against the elite cavalry of the nomadic people!

Ding Yi yelled: "Can you fight? (To be continued......)

PS: Is there a ticket?!
