Volume 1 Chapter 35: Defending the City (1)

Ling Jingyang was not carried away by the victory, Jiannu will definitely not suffer this loss, he will forcibly attack the city soon, he ordered the soldiers of the city to be prepared to resist Jiannu's retaliatory siege, the old steamed bun asked him, what should these more than 20 captives do?

Zhang Luofu suggested that Ling Jingyang behead them all, Ling Jingyang was curious why he wanted to kill Baoyi, Zhang Luofu snorted: "These Baoyi have long been Jiannu slaves, helping Jiannu farm and work, and also making cannon fodder for Jiannu, if you don't kill them, it is a waste of grain and grass to keep them." ”

Other generals also nodded, Quan Tiefeng and other Jizhou soldiers and Jiannu battled, and many soldiers died at the hands of Bao Yi, and the two suggested that Bao Yi be beheaded on the city wall, which angered Jiannu outside the city.

More than 20 Bao Yi lowered their heads, and waited until the big knife stomped their heads, Ling Jingyang looked at these Bao Yi, all of them were skinny, and the clothes on their bodies were a rag, many of them were Ming people before, and after being taken away by Jiannu, they became this ghost.

He came to a Baoyi, the old steamed bun lifted the pigtail of the Baoyi, and what came into the eyes of everyone was a bloodless, lifeless dead face, Ling Jingyang looked at Baoyi's eyes, without a trace of the breath that a living person should have.

"Are you afraid of death?"

Bao Yi nodded stiffly, he was too afraid of death, after being taken away by Jiannu, in order to survive, he worked hard, and the people who were captured with him were basically tortured to death, only he barely survived, this time he entered the customs, he was assigned a kitchen knife, and the master told him that if he entered the Central Plains this time, he could let him carry the flag, but he was pleasantly surprised.

He wanted to go into Shanhaiguan and get rid of the shackles of his coat, but when he saw the Dashun army's big sword slashing at his companion, his companion's head fell to the ground, and his eyes blinked, he suddenly lost his confidence in becoming a flag bearer, and remembered that he was a Ming man.

Ling Jingyang asked him: "Do you dare to fight the Jiannu outside?" ”

Jin Dashou shook his head, but quickly nodded a little, if he didn't dare, these Dashun troops would not hesitate to stomp off his head.

The other coats squatted on the ground, they didn't dare to make a sound, they also subconsciously stayed away from Jin Dashou, Ling Jingyang was very keen to look at the reactions of other coats, these coats were tortured too hard by Jiannu's anger, and they had been rescued, but they still had a deep fear of Jiannu.

He and Jin Dashou said: "I have rescued you from Jiannu, but you are still so afraid of Jiannu, are you born a cheap race?" ”

Jin Datou remembered the past years, he was a famous farmer in the village, doing first-class farm work, working hard every day, when the situation was good, barely filling his stomach, when he encountered floods and droughts, he could only go hungry to beg, and I don't know what day it was, someone outside the village shouted madly, Jiannu came.

What is Jiannu? He just heard that Jiannu is a wild man who lives outside the pass, what are these wild people doing in the pass, he watched the neighbor drag his daughter to the city, he also spread his feet and ran, how can the human leg run over the horse's leg, before he ran to the county seat, he was caught up by a group of fierce and vicious braids, the braids were very savage, and shouted loudly to them to go back, if they didn't go, they rushed up with a knife, hacked to death on the side of the road, and the people who ran farther away were shot with bows and arrows, this group of barbarians were ruthless, and scared Jin Dashou and the villagers went back.

Jin Dashou still doesn't understand, they have to give the court this salary every year, that salary, how can Jiannu come in and kidnap the people of the court, but there is no court soldier to save them?

There are thousands of Ming people like him, who were driven to the outside of the pass by Jiannu with a butcher's knife, and people continued to die along the way, and some people tried to escape, basically all of them were killed by Jiannu, after arriving outside the pass, Jin Dashou gave a Niu Lu to make a coating, and lived a life of pigs and dogs in Niu Lu's house, eating leftovers, a little better in summer, basically carrying it in winter, many people did not survive the winter, frozen to death, only he, with tenacious vitality, finally survived three years in Niu Lu's house, and got the opportunity to go out to the Bao Coating Army.

Niu Lu gave him a kitchen knife and asked him to enter the customs with him, he thought that he could work hard for Niu Lu and live a good life with Niu Lu, who knew that the first battle in the customs was beaten by the Dashun army, and the dream of living a good life with Niu Lu was shattered.

As soon as he thought of how hard the days of making coats were, he didn't want to continue to make coats, he didn't want to sleep with cows and horses, he didn't want to eat pig food, and he didn't want to be beaten by the banner people with braids.

He suddenly burst out, and Ling Jingyang roared: "Kill me, I don't want to live anymore." ”

Ling Jingyang wanted to put these coats, but he was startled by this roar, and the other generals were also taken aback, Leng Rutie stepped forward with a fist, and Jin Dashou's cheeks suddenly swollen.

"Do you want to die, Lao Tzu will fulfill you."

As long as he exerts force, Jin Dashou's neck will be cut off, and Jin Dashou raises his neck high, just to die quickly.

Ling Jingyang was a little curious about people, could it be Stockholm syndrome, he was afraid of death just now, why did he suddenly become begging for death?

He and Jin Dashou said: "Follow us no worse than Jiannu, as long as you dare to fight Jiannu, I will accept him as my soldier, in my place, no worries about food or clothing, no one beats you with a stick, and no one lets you be a cow or a horse." ”

Jin Dashou was still indifferent, but it made Li Rufeng and the others feel hot, Leng Rutie saw that Jin Dashou was stubborn, and asked to kill this person quickly, Ling Jingyang really wanted to kill this guy who didn't know what to do, but he still held back this thought, he knew that the most basic productivity of Jiannu was these poor coats, and if he wanted to defeat Jiannu, just from a military point of view, the Ming Army, the Dashun Army, the Daxi Army, and the later Zheng Jiajun, and the Jiannu Eight Banners and Green Battalion Soldiers, who were at the peak in the next few years, were all at a disadvantage. Therefore, it is a good choice to find a breakthrough in Jiannu from other directions and divide and disintegrate the coating.

Ling Jingyang asked about the other coats: "What's his name?" ”

A half-grown child said: "His name is Jin Dashou, those hands are very big, and he is very good at farm work, and last year he gave his master a few acres of land in one go, no, for Tartar." ”

Ling Jingyang was very satisfied with this half-sized boy, and said to him: "Yes, this is a reward for you." ”

He gave the half-sized son a handful of brown rice from the sack, and the half-sized child's eyes were straight, this is brown rice, how long has he not eaten brown rice, he hurriedly knelt down for Ling Jingyang, kowtowed three times in one breath, Ling Jingyang gave him a short knife again, and asked him if he dared to fight with Jiannu.

Half of the eldest son was a little scared, hesitated between brown rice and big knife, and finally held a big knife in his hand and brown rice in one hand, Ling Jingyang was very satisfied with his performance, and said to him: "From now on, you are the head of the whistle." ”

and said to the other coats: "Lao Tzu doesn't kill innocent people, you make coatings for Jiannu, it's better to be pigs and dogs, I'll let you live today." ”

More than 20 baoyi couldn't believe that Ling Jingyang didn't kill them, not only that, but Ling Jingyang also asked Lao Mantou to give each of them a big steamed bun, watched them eat it, and said: "The twisted melon is not sweet, I will give you two choices now, either pay Lao Tzu as a soldier, or go back to make Baoyi now." ”

The wrappers suddenly didn't squeak, they still had their families outside the gate, at this time the half-eldest son stood up and said to them: "It's death to go back, it's better to follow this adult to do it, maybe there is still a way to live." ”

These coats are experiencing the struggle between heaven and man, some people can't let go of their families outside the gate, and some people are alone, it is better to follow the Dashun army to break through, half of the eldest son looked at Jin Dashou with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but be angry, carrying a short knife, he stepped forward and stabbed down, and the knife edge pierced from the top of Jin Da's head, if it weren't for Dong Daqi's quick eyes and quick hands, he kicked him away, and Jin Dashou was already a corpse with a knife on his head.

After the half-eldest son was kicked out, he got up and roared angrily with Jin Dashou: "Jin Dashou, you are a crumb, how did your fellow villager be beaten to death by Jiannu, in the winter, in order to survive, you wrapped yourself in cow feces in the cattle pen, only to survive the winter, those who did not survive the winter, they had already frozen to death, just dig a pit and bury it, we all saw it, that pit was still dug by you in the cold winter, right?" ”

Jin Dashou suddenly opened his eyes, and scolded with the half-eldest son: "Fang Xiaoyan, enough,"

Half of the eldest son is called Fang Xiaoyan, and the coat is called Jin Dashou, Ling Jingyang also lamented that the names of these people are too casual, and he really looked at Fang Xiaoyan's eyes, Jin Dashou's hands, sure enough, one eye is very small, the other is very big, Jin Dashou cried and scolded Fang Xiaoyan for not knowing current affairs.

"What do you know, how powerful Jiannu is, don't you know yet? Just these officers and soldiers, who have beaten Jiannu? ”

Jin Dashou has lived outside the gate for several years, and he has seen the strength of the Jiannu Eight Banners, not only that, but he often sees groups of imperial soldiers and horses surrendering to Jiannu, sitting on the ground and shaving their hair and being well-behaved, which makes him have the impression that Jiannu is invincible in the world.

While talking, Zhang Luofu ran over to talk to Ling Jingyang; "My lord, Jiannu is here."

Ling Jingyang asked Fang Xiaoyan to follow him, and all the other clothes were tied up and thrown behind the north and south gates of the city gate, as sandbags to prevent Jiannu from breaking the door.

Outside the city, the soldiers gathered at the south gate, Ganda was very angry, his suspicious strategy was seen through by the Dashun army, and he lost more than 200 clothes in vain, as well as dozens of armored people's lives, he was furious, and ordered the whole army to attack the south gate, after the city was broken, no one was left, all killed.

As before, Bao Yi was used as cannon fodder in front, the armored man was behind, and the Eight Banners were in formation, this time they did not bring heavy weapons such as red-clothed cannons, but brought dozens of ladders to attack the city.

Under his command, the Baoyi people rushed to the south gate, followed by the armored people, they covered the north gate city wall with bows and arrows and fire guns, suppressing the firepower output of the Dashun army, Ling Jingyang did not transfer other city gate defenders to assist in guarding the gate, he knew Jiannu's insidious Dexing too well.

If the troops were concentrated at the South Gate, the other gates would be very likely to be attacked by Jiannu, so he took the soldiers of the South Gate to attack Jiannu.

Baoyi equipment is simple, many people are a big knife, and some Baoyi does not do other things, that is, carrying a ladder to rush, before rushing to the city wall, they were shot a lot, and then bread picked up the ladder and continued to rush, until the city was rushed, the ladder was leaned against the city wall, and others climbed up the ladder.

Ling Jingyang used a bow and arrow to shoot and injure more than ten Bao Yi, but he still couldn't stop Bao Yi from risking his life to rush hard, and the armored man behind Bao Yi carried out round after round of covering shooting, killing and injuring many soldiers of the Dashun Army.
