Chapter 3: Heart Like Iron (1)
There are no cicadas or birds in the snowy grove, and there is no anger at all, it seems that the low temperature has frozen a qiē, and the snowflakes that are tired on the branches have infiltrated the chill hard, and the trees are also stiff, even if the wind comes, it is rare to have branches and leaves swaying. Dantei's voice sounded colder than the snow-covered sky: "Seven people, you have a chance of seven knives." ”
He was referring to the seven tartars whose limbs had been staggered by him, and even their jaws were removed. Ding Yi is only a human after all, and the other three can only be killed with one sword, but with one enemy and ten, he can capture seven people alive and be unharmed, which is definitely not an easy task, even if he is in the top ten in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to do it. Xingtian may have killed them, but these Tartar scouts were all old pawns - these were not the herdsmen who had also been summoned first, but the standing army of Warat, the elite of the Mongol army, and only such an elite could come out to patrol at dawn, just after the snow was clear - they would run, they would go to report the news, they would fight to the death...... Taking down seven live mouths is definitely an impossible task, but Dante has completed it, just as he is not good at palace fighting, he is good at doing such things.
Zhang Mao's hands were trembling, and the tartars who had been staggered were squirming and struggling on the ground, and their throats were roaring "ho-ho", and their faces were so hideous. Ding Yi didn't comfort him, but took a step back and said to him: "If it is a recruit, Seven Swords can't complete the task, so I will do him, because it is a burden and a defective product!" No one dares to be on the battlefield and carry a drag oil bottle that will break bad at any time. He paused, slowing his tone. You are different, you are a disciple of the teacher, you can't do it. Go back and wait for me at the academy, and if there is a war in the future, you will do some staff and logistics affairs, and you will not be allowed to go to the front line. Let's do it, we don't have much time; Or put away your knife and put on your skis. Heading south...... I really don't have time, come and see your human struggle and the torture of conscience. ”
The chance of seven knives, that is, each tartar can only use one knife. This requires Zhang Mao to be extremely precise. Don't think it's an easy task. When killing pigs in the countryside, the pigs are all pressed to death, and if you want to kill them with a knife, you have to be an experienced butcher to do it. With Zhang Mao's trembling hands now. With a trembling tip of the knife. It is clear that he is unlikely to be able to accomplish this task.
And Ding Yi demanded that he must do it, and if he can follow Ding Yi into the battlefield, he must do it.
In this way, what follows Ding Yi is not a warrior who has the courage to kill the enemy, but a soldier king who can have absolute calm.
Zhang Mao let go of his hand and let the bayonet plunge into the snow. Then he pounced on him and pressed his right wrist against the Tartar's throat. Place your right hand on your left hand and press your head against the back of the opponent's head. Slowly turning his wrist, soon the Tartar probed the horse's lower body and oozing foul urine, which had nothing to do with guts, but physical incontinence caused by death.
Then Zhang Mao used the blood strangulation and guillotine to deal with the other two tartars, and then stood up, although he was slightly panting, his hands no longer trembled, he pulled out his bayonet from the snow, and cleanly, and stabbed each of them, including the three tartars who had died, and the seven were too dead to die.
"Sir, I'm glad I didn't lose my life." He said to Ding Yi.
Ding Yi frowned: "Drag it into the snow nest, and then the snow nest collapses, pick up two good bows and come out...... There's not much time left, hurry up, or the second probe comes, and it's up to you to solve it. Zhang Mao didn't dare to rap, dragged those corpses, and went to the snow nest where he camped last night, he didn't want to face ten of these elite exploration horses, for him, it was an act of seeking death.
Before handing them over to Zhang Mao, Ding Yi had already asked what he needed, so Ding Yi was driving the war horse away, here was less than two miles away from the Tartars' thousand-man team, and it deviated a lot from the convergence point on the map, he didn't want to expose himself too early before the team was assembled. Under the pressure of survival, Zhang Mao quickly disposed of the corpses, and simply dealt with the blood stains on the ground with a sapper shovel, kicked the trunk of a tree, and sprinkled snowflakes to better fake and cover the scene.
In fact, the disappearance of this group of rangers did not arouse the alarm of the commander of the thousand-man team, because the army of this era, even if the Ming army with good military discipline, is not the standard that modern armies require many documents to go out of the camp and assemble to the standard of hours or even minutes, one is because there are no accurate timing tools, let alone instant messengers; Another issue is the soldier's obedience to discipline. It is probably normal for a ranger team like this to come back half a day early and half a day late, even if they get lost and can't come back, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is a serious accident, not to mention that it is almost noon, and it snows again.
The Warat generals in the big tent were all a little impatient, and even the mare's milk wine could hardly pour out the troubles in their hearts.
"That Yan, such a big wind and snow, the minions below, there are people freezing every day, otherwise, just ignore this wind and snow, what can Ming people do? There is no need to command, let the sons and daughters let their horses rush away......" The general did not finish his words, and he also took off his hand and smashed the wine glass on his head.
The king of Saikan, who was sitting on the side of Yexian, raised his severed hand and said to the general: "100,000 iron horsemen, and it was also 100,000 iron horsemen that day, and that man was one person, one horse, and one sword, do you see?" snatched his emperor alive, even I folded it in his hands, and died a lot of men on the grassland who dared to fight! The man said that he was a Han Chinese, but he was an official of the Ming Kingdom, and now he is a great official, you see that opposite, the fort is not like a fort, and the village is not like a castle in the strange city, how many soldiers are there? If you don't say anything, it's tens of thousands!"
"Not only according to the snow and sunshine a few days ago, I waited to attack, and looking at the soldiers they were engaged in, I was afraid that there were thirty or forty thousand people." The following generals added the words of the king of the saikan, "It's really hard to fight, those weird cities are very weird...... Fire guns, the fire guns of the Ming army, Na Yan, we follow you to fight, it's not that we haven't seen it, even Xuanfu and Datong, there are also many fire guns, we are not afraid. But why, in this strange city, those fire guns taught us the warriors of the steppe to suffer so heavy casualties? ”
The king sighed, and said with relief to the general who was also hit with a wine glass first: "The minions below are frozen, and Na Yan and I also know it, but the sky is not clear, and if you let the horses fight indiscriminately, you will only die more people, don't talk so nonsense, the minions are all dead, who will fight with you?" Did you ride up on your own horse? ”
also patted the case in front of him first, and said in a deep voice: "Put the soldiers and horses in order, the snow is clear, and then go all out to attack, a team of 1,000 people, a team of 1,000 people will go up, and those who dare to retreat will be killed by the rear team!" He said and looked around at the generals, holding his halberd beard, "The flag, don't touch it, the city where the flag is located, don't fight it, if you take down the knot, don't insult her, return her to that person, that's really magical, in front of you, you will curse people to death, the lama and shaman have carefully checked from beginning to end, and there is no injury at all." If you are killed in the battle array, it is okay, if you are captured and tie up Luo Cha privately, whoever moves her, I will not punish you, in the end, that person is here, and I will not care about you about his affairs with you. ”
The generals nodded their heads, all believing that there was no need to provoke the man they did not want to name.
When the generals dispersed, the king of Saikan frowned and said to Yexian: "That Yan, that person has supernatural powers...... "You can't just avoid his banner because you have supernatural powers, which is a great damage to morale, "When Genghis Khan didn't also behead the shaman of Tongtian!" If Xue Qing goes into battle, I will go and cut down his flag! I also broke my arm anyway......"
He also raised his head first and drank the wine in the cup, wiped it with his sleeve, waved his hand at the king of the journal to signal not to say any more, and taught him to come over, only then did he lower his voice and said: "Over there in the Special Knowledge Academy, it is said that someone in the Xuanfu has contacted him, and that person is in the Ming Kingdom, and there are nobles who want him to die. ”
The king of Saikan suddenly realized, nodded and said: "That's good, teach them the Ming people to die by themselves, listen to that person said, if he dies, he will curse the enemy with the blood of his whole body, and then the nobles in the Ming Kingdom will kill him, with that person's means, the nobles will not be able to live even if they are afraid, we just raise troops to the south!" It's just that that person has such ability, and he is so loyal to the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, how can the Ming Kingdom be willing to kill him? ”
"I don't know." He also shook his head first, and filled the pot with wine for the king of Saikan, but he was thoughtful, "I heard that the Special Knowledge Institute said that the southerners were like this, before the founding of the Great Yuan, Grandpa Yue of the Song Dynasty was also a great hero admired on the grassland, and the Jin people killed him completely, and it was the Song people themselves who killed Grandpa Yue's life." Anyway, that person is dead, and there will be fewer hidden dangers when he goes south in the future! ”
The king of the journal nodded and said, "Yes, that Yan's plan is right." "When they say the Special Knowledge Academy, they mean Boyan Timur.
"Call Badama!" I also thought about it first, and said this to the henchmen and guards waiting in the tent.
"Badama and the man made an answer, and taught her to lobby, if Luo Cha is willing to put Tokhtar back or kill him, I will collect the army as soon as possible!" After all, the consumption of sending troops on this snowy day is too great, and Ding Yi has someone to deal with, although he has never heard that war is to fight logistics, but this heroic man who crosses the grassland is well aware of the truth, if you can reduce some consumption, and achieve the purpose of sending troops, why not?
