Volume 1 Chapter 8: I'd rather die
The door was just a void, and it opened with a light push, and the henchman walked inside, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air, and the next second, the henchman's forehead was pierced by a rusty arrow, and he fell to the ground and lost his breath, and the others were so frightened that they dodged to both sides, Ling Jingyang lay on the ground and did not dare to move, and there was a roar in the courtyard.
"If you are not afraid of death, come in and fight with your grandfather until dawn, if you kneel and pray for your life, you are a dog mongrel."
There was a sudden sound of weapons beating inside, as if to boost morale, looking at this formation, there were at least more than 100 die-hard Ming troops in the courtyard, and the Dashun army did not dare to enter outside the courtyard, and the Ming army inside did not have the strength to rush out.
Zhang Shun hurriedly asked his subordinates to ask for reinforcements, Ling Jingyang admired these loyal Geng Geng Ming army soldiers, the Great Xia generals were leaning, and they still adhered to the military persistence, and after a while, the nearby Dashun army came to support, and hundreds of armored Dashun soldiers held shields and attacked the courtyard.
The Ming army still attacked with bows and arrows and firearms, after a round of salvos, dozens of Dashun soldiers were killed and wounded, Ling Jingyang can be seen from the scale of the Ming army's bows and arrows and the sound of firearms, there are at least hundreds of Ming soldiers in the courtyard, Zhang Shun continued to let his subordinates ask for more reinforcements, although the Dashun army was killed dozens of people, others were not scared, and attacked inside, the entire capital is the world of the Dashun army, and they will be afraid of hundreds of Ming troops.
Zhang Shun led his subordinates to attack inside, Ling Jingyang was on Zhang Shun's left, protecting Zhang Shun from being attacked by the Ming army, the courtyard was very large, almost the size of a school field, and more than 400 soldiers of the Ming army were led by a young general, stepping on a neat pace to do the final battle.
Zhang Shun is also quite a pity for these brave Ming troops, if they join one of the battalions of the Dashun Army, the strength of the Dashun Army will go to a higher level, but it is a pity that these people are stubborn and have to be buried with the Ming Dynasty.
The two armies quickly became a mess, this is also the first time that Ling Jingyang experienced the feudal army fighting, the Ming army and the Dashun army were killed, and there were constantly soldiers who were cut off their heads and limbs, and many soldiers were cut off by the enemy, and fell to the ground, Ling Jingyang couldn't bear to start, whether it was the Dashun army or the Ming army, he was not ready to kill without threatening him, but he couldn't let others think he was a coward, so he wholeheartedly protected Zhang Shun from being attacked.
Zhang Shun is different from him, as the head of the department, he is the supreme commander of the remnants of the Ming army, rushing to the front, cutting five or six Ming troops in one go, which is also protected by Ling Jingyang, Ling Jingyang gave him at least three deadly attacks, the most dangerous of which is that a soldier of the Ming Army who has not yet lost his breath lay on the ground and stabbed Zhang Shun in the abdomen with a spear, and was kicked out by Ling Jingyang, so that Zhang Shun would not be disemboweled.
Under the protection of Ling Jingyang, Zhang Shun can do his best to kill the enemy, Zhang Shun is also very grateful to Ling Jingyang's guards, and continue to fight with his subordinates, the two armies are fighting more and more ruthlessly, the Ming army has a large number, but it can't stand the continuous reinforcements of the Dashun army, and the Ming army soldiers are constantly besieged and killed by several times the Dashun army, and finally the more and less they fight, only the young general and dozens of pro-soldiers are left to continue fighting.
In the battle, the casualties of the Ming army and the Dashun army were almost the same, and the remaining remnants of the army were surrounded by hundreds of Dashun regiments, and the soldiers of the Dashun army were very angry.
Zhang Shun was no longer the supreme general in the middle of the battle, because Li Daowei arrived at the battlefield with his own soldiers when the battle was at its most intense, and his arrival made Zhang Shun the second-in-command of this encounter.
After Li Daowei arrived, he did not give the order to continue the attack, before the capital, His Majesty had an order, and all departments tried to collect and surrender the officers and soldiers of the Ming army to supplement the combat effectiveness of the army under his command.
He stepped forward and said to the generals of the Ming army: "You are also descendants of China, and now the Jiannu is powerful, and we have entered the customs again and again, we should work together to expel the Jiannu, why bother to shed a river of blood here and build slaves cheaply?" ”
Li Daowei's words said that many people are in trouble, but the remnants of the Ming Dynasty soldiers have already been red-eyed, and most of their comrades-in-arms have become corpses on the ground, and they just want to repay the country with death.
The young general shouted loudly: "What you said is somewhat reasonable, but I am waiting for the Ming Dynasty to eat the Ming Dynasty, I am a Ming soldier in life, and I am a ghost in the Ming Army in death, and today I can shed the last drop of blood for the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a non-disgrace to the ancestors." ”
Li Daowei was a little angry, and once again persuaded him to surrender: "Your emperor is gone, and there are countless civil and military officials who have defected and surrendered to me, every time you kill a Dashun soldier here, there will be one less soldier who will fight with the Tartars in the future, do you want to be confused to death?" ”
The young general closed his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said: "You only look at those people who wag their tails and beg for mercy, but I don't know that I also have brave and loyal people, yesterday, the capital was breached, how many civil and military officials Ning, but the whole family committed suicide and martyrdom, and did not want to wait for the anti-thief to serve, don't you see these?" ”
The young general was determined to die in battle to serve the imperial court, Ling Jingyang wanted to know the name of this general, Li Daowei was very angry that this person was dead, but he also admired the loyalty and bravery, and shouted with a little admiration: "Tell me, which army are you?" ”
The young general was proud to tell him that he was the commander of the avant-garde command of the capital army, a middle-level general, and he still chose to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty after the other comrades surrendered.
Li Daowei closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" ”
"No, to be able to have a bloody battle with you today can be regarded as the armor on your body."
After the young general finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "This general just said that every time we kill a soldier in your army, there will be one less warrior to resist Jiannu in the future. ”
Li Daowei knew that this person was bent on death, so he hurriedly shouted, no.
But the young general quickly drew his sword and killed himself, and more than 20 remnants of the generals followed the generals and also committed suicide, making hundreds of Shun soldiers look at each other, I don't know why, many people did not have the joy of victory, but felt a little lost, Li Daowei's face was ugly, these Ming soldiers died worthless, but let him be a blow to the head, Jiannu is indeed a strong opponent.
His Majesty also mentioned that the Ming Dynasty was ineffective in resisting Jiannu, and repeatedly let Jiannu enter the customs, burning, killing and robbing the people in the pass, and heard the general say before entering the capital that he would soon mobilize troops to go north to Shanhaiguan and meet with Wu Sangui's Guanning army.
