Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Night Battle
Deng Pingyu and others walked quickly to the fence of the camp gate, and saw that the torches in front of them were bright two or three hundred paces, and Bao Yuanqian looked at it, and sure enough, there was a Qiang general with a long axe at the head.
They are all military people, such a scene is very familiar, this is to find back the field where their own sentry cavalry has suffered, and invite the Ming army to fight, no matter who carries the opponent's head back to the camp is a matter of inspiring the army.
In the era of cold weapons, the military spirit is the foundation of everything, if one party is not afraid of so many good equipment before the battle is useless, morale, military spirit is the key to victory, and the art of war and strategy must be second.
The military spirit is usable and invincible. The morale of the army was scattered, and the defeat was like a mountain.
Bao Yuanqian naturally understood that in the early Ming Dynasty, there was abundant martial virtue, and the two armies often fought against each other, but they were all middle and lower-level captains and some soldiers with outstanding military force, and the generals of the first army would hardly participate, but there were exceptions, that is, Kaiping Wang Chang 100,000.
Chang Yuchun was in Taerwan, Henan Province, one person bravely fought several Yuan generals, and shot the vanguard officer of the Yuan army with an arrow, and the Yuan army immediately collapsed and won without a fight.
That Fu Youde's two armies slapped their horses in front of the formation and only three together, and then stabbed Wang Baobao's general Han Yi to death, and the list goes on.
In this early Ming Dynasty when martial arts were abundant, once an army invited a fighting general, if it did not dare to engage in battle or hide in the shadows against the other party, it was regarded as a great shame, and not only did not inspire the morale of the own army, but it would be defeated.
"Huh? The long axe Yama again? I don't know who in the Ming army said a word, and it seemed that he was a little scared, and Deng Pingyu looked at it as a hundred households.
When the hundred households saw Deng Pingyu looking at him, they hurriedly lowered their heads.
"What? Do you know this person? Deng Pingyu asked.
The hundred households hurriedly said: "I don't know, it's just that at the end of the previous month, he served in the north of Qiang, and it was also this Qiang general with an axe who called for battle, and our army even sent three warriors to be beheaded by him." ”
"And the first one to enter the north mouth of Qiang is also this guy. His axe is heavy, and the idlers can't bear him a few moves. ”
Deng Pingyu looked at the hundred households who tried their best to hide their fear, and then looked at the surrounding officers, and saw that many people were a little embarrassed when they heard it.
He has been leading troops and horses for a long time, how can he not know that once this atmosphere spreads in the army, then there is no need to fight this battle, and it will definitely be defeated!
It is no wonder that in recent years, the Ming army has suffered setbacks in foreign wars one after another, and a negative mood has spread in the army, but since this Qiang will call for battle in the future, it can be regarded as an opportunity.
If you can win this brave Qiang general tonight, the army's heart will definitely be boosted, and the sentry cavalry camp will return with a big victory, and the two will be happy, and they will definitely be able to turn the tide!
Deng Pingyu made up his mind in his heart, so he raised his voice and said: "Who dares to take over the battle of the military academies?" Frustrate the sharpness of this guy, if you can take off the head, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be thirty taels of silver! ”
The lieutenants were silent for a moment, but they hesitated.
At the moment of silence, Bao Yuanqian could only hear someone behind him roaring, and the sound was like a bell, "A child with an axe, mark Kutaji, and go to take the life of this dog!" ”
Bao Yuanqian looked, only to see an eight-foot-long Mongolian strong man squeezed out of the crowd, this Kutaji is a Mongolian who returned from the defeat of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and served as a small flag officer in the army, making a long-handled broadsword, and the battle is quite brave.
When Deng Pingyu heard that someone was willing to go, he was naturally overjoyed, and waved his big hand and said, "Okay!" Beat the drums and go out! ”
Nahu Taji was not verbose, pushed the golden mountain and bowed, raised his head and raised his sword on his horse, and rushed out of the camp with dozens of soldiers with torches and drums!
More than 100 people on both sides held torches, lighting up the surroundings and crackling with fire.
The Qiang general was calling for battle, but he saw a strong Mongolian man with a big knife rushing out of the camp, and he didn't report his name, so he rode his horse and raised his knife to kill!
Naqiang will have a bearded face, sneer, and slap the horse to catch up, and the two of them hedged away with the speed of the horse!
"Bell! Clang! "Two loud bangs, gold and iron clashing, sparks flying!
The two rushed past each other, each turned his horse back, and rushed again, and the hedge was evenly divided.
Bao Yuanqian was shocked to see in the village, and secretly said that the two of them were so powerful, although he was taught by Uncle Bao for a period of time, but his beginner knife skills were a little stretched compared with these two people.
"It turns out that this fighter is not two people stopping their horses and slashing each other, but taking advantage of the horse's momentum to make a move at a staggered moment, and one move will determine the winner!" Bao Yuanqian saw it clearly, it turned out that this fighting general was very different from the performances in those later TV dramas.
Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has fought raid battles, and most of them have encounters, and there are few confrontations between the two armies like this, let alone fighting generals.
Generally, these Northern Yuan and Qiang people are robbed and left, and when they go to the sentry camp, they can only eat other people's horseshoe ashes, and others are not stupid and almost do not entangle with you.
"It feels... Something is not good. On the side, Jiang Wei observed intently, and suddenly frowned.
Bao Yuanqian knew that he would immediately go down to Wu Shuangquan, so he asked him what he meant.
Jiang Wei pointed to the right hand of the Kutaji holding the knife and said, "It has only been a few battles, and the tiger's mouth of the right palm of this Kutaji should have been cracked, and the strength of this Qiang general is really good, and you must not fight with brute force." ”
Bao Yuanqian looked at it, and sure enough, if he looked carefully, the right hand that was not easy to detect was trembling slightly, which was not obvious, if Jiang Wei didn't mention it, he wouldn't have found it at all.
"Bell!" There was a loud bang between the two horses, and as Jiang expected, Nahu Taji couldn't withstand the other party's strength, and was chopped off with an axe!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Nakhutagi immediately wanted to turn his horse away.
How do you know that Naqiang has mastered the axe skills, holding the bottom end of the long axe, the axe blade flips in the air, and the body suddenly leans back and falls on the horse's back, splitting down!
"Ahh
The blade of the axe struck Nakhutagi's back, and he immediately fell off his horse, lifeless!
"It's so powerful..."Bao Yuanqian was a little frightened, this big axe can still be played like this.
"Harm, this ....." the people in the camp lamented, and couldn't help but be depressed.
After the Qiang general killed Kutaji, he swung his axe back and forth in front of the battle and rode his horse and ran, looking arrogant and high-spirited.
The Qiang cavalry in the rear were all whistling, shouting and mocking the incompetence of the Ming army in this battalion.
Deng Pingyu looked at the silent crowd and shouted, "Who else is going!?" ”
Seeing that all the lieutenants were a little silent, Deng Pingyu said angrily: "I can't bear the heavy responsibility, you don't go, Lao Tzu personally went to poke this guy!" ”
Although Deng Pingyu is the main general of the first army, his temperament is as fierce as fire, and he started from a life-and-death fight, and he is skilled.
As he spoke, he had eight spears in his hand, and wanted to turn over and get on the horse.
The lieutenants and staff of the school have dissuaded Deng Pingyu, as the main general, he must not act rashly.
"Commander, can you let your subordinates try?"
Just when everyone was noisy and persuasive, a chic and clear voice came, but Deng Pingyu looked like a military officer, Jiang Wei.
"You?"
Jiang Wei stepped forward and said: "Just give a mixed iron point steel gun, and my subordinates are willing to give it a try." ”
Bao Yuanqian stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Wei, shook his head and signaled not to be impulsive.
This Qiang general is by no means idle, even if he Jiang is not weak in martial arts, he can't joke.
That Yao Tingxuan was energetic at this time, and said sarcastically: "What's the matter with letting you be a nameless official?" The Qiang people still think that there is no one available for my Ming Wangshi, and if you win, you will say that I have no one in the Ming Dynasty, and if you lose, you will be ridiculous in the world! ”
Deng Pingyu was also a little hesitant, Jiang Wei was just a civilian official in the Wei Command Yamen, could it be that there was no one in Suzhou Wei?
Many people present objected, but Jiang Wei said: "Since you are against it, why don't you go into battle and kill this fang yourself?" ”
Hearing Jiang Wei say this, those people stopped speaking.
"The commander has to send the arrow. In recent years, the Wang division has been defeated in successive battles, and the morale of the army has reached the point where it is difficult to return and is out of control. ”
Yao Tingxuan waved his hand and said, "No, I don't allow you, a little official, to fight!" ”
"Victory!" Deng Pingyu, who was silent on the side, nodded in agreement, and gave Jiang Wei the spear he had made, so angry that Yao listened to Xuan.
Jiang Wei's words hit his heart and lungs, and he talked about Deng Pingyu's heart, and also talked about Deng Pingyu's sore spot.
Jiang Wei was dressed in short armor and ignored Yao Tingxuan, who was barking at the dog. Turning over lightly, he rushed out of the camp and killed the Qiang general.
When the Qiang general saw that another person was sent to death, he was still a person of medium stature and scholarly appearance, and he couldn't help laughing wildly.
He slapped his horse up, slashed down with an axe, and vowed to kill Jiang Wei with one move.
In his eyes, this bookish Jiang Wei Erer will definitely not be able to catch his full axe.
The heads of the two horses approached, and the heavy axe slashed down!
Jiang Wei did not take the axe hard, but instead pulled out the spear, passed through the gap between the axe blades, lifted his arms hard, pinned the menacing axe, and forcefully took it!
The Qiang general was already slashing with all his strength, and the center of gravity was at the tip of the axe, who knew that Jiang Wei was stuck in the area of the life gate, lost the center of gravity, and even flew off the horse with the axe!!
Jiang Wei leaned out immediately, reversed the spear in his hand and stabbed out!
He shot like lightning, like a shocking glance, and the tip of the gun was only released and retracted, and the volley brought out a string of crimson.
I saw that the Qiang general flew in mid-air, and his throat burst red, and was blown to the ground by the wind, and the man immediately fell to the ground, and there was no sound!
Ichin!!
The Ming army camp was silent for a moment and burst into an astonishing shout, the morale was greatly boosted, the gongs and drums were noisy, and many people rushed out of the camp to plunder for Jiang Wei.
That Yao Tingxuan's face was as if he had eaten, and he was fully seen by Deng Pingyu's spicy and meticulous eyes.
Dozens of Qiang cavalry didn't expect that the fierce generals of their own brave champions and three armies would be assassinated by a person who looked like a scholar! Flee one after another!
"Yes, yes. This little offspring is a good child, and he has good skills! The night battle is really better than seeing it! ”
Bao Yuanqian only heard the voice of an old man beside him, and turned his head to see that it was Mr. Luo Guanzhong Luo on the fence, and he started to dance with a pen on the booklet.
He didn't expect Luo Guanzhong to really come out with the army this time, don't you use this Jiang as a model to pick up the lamp and thorn Qiang will be the model, and really create that flying lantern night war Ma Chao, right?
If that's the case, it's a big joke in history, and it's really funny.
However, this Mr. Luo is very calm about the battlefield fighting, and he thinks about it, Mr. Luo has gone through the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he has not seen much, but he has seen many dead people.
Although he has never been in battle in his life, he has killed anyone. There are more dead people to see than books to read, and it is not as bloody as those poor and rotten people.
The cool breeze on the Gobi Desert blew, blowing up a wisp of green silk with ginger as his sideburns. I saw him immediately slapping his spear, proudly looking at the back of the defeated soldiers.
Famous teachers and generals are not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes!
A nursery rhyme from a thousand years ago faintly appeared in everyone's hearts and shook people's hearts.
