Chapter 491: Counterattack
Shi Feng returned to Beijing at this time to enter the palace to see the emperor, and he came to ask for guilt.
He was ordered to reinforce the Bauhinia Pass, but his troops were almost completely lost, and the Bauhinia Pass was surrendered to the enemy.
According to normal logic, this should be killed.
So the first question Zhu Houzhao asked him was about this.
"I and all of you Aiqing think that Shi Qing has been martyred for the country, as long as I go to trouble for the country, I will not forget this loyalty. Normally, you can be incognito, why do you want to enter the palace? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the criminal wants to kill the Tartars again!"
Wang Bingqi said: "Lost the Bauhinia Pass and fell into the land of Gyeonggi in danger, Your Majesty, this crime should be punished!" ”
Zhu Houzhao took a closer look at Shi Feng's side face, where there was a blood-red crescent-shaped wound.
"Things can be light, but they can also be right. I thought that the Tatar soldiers were in charge of the Beijing Division, and it was the right time to employ people. General Shi did suffer a defeat, and I will not go unpunished if he deserves to be punished. But I said at the beginning of the war that this battle was a battle to the death between my Ming and the Tatars.
Since it is a battle to the death, then all those who are willing to kill the enemy can be my Ming soldiers. General Shi's crime is not light, even if he cut off his head, it can't be excessive. But at this time, it would be beneficial to keep him and kill even one more Tartar. Shi Feng, I ask you, are you willing to raise your sword to kill the enemy again? Even if it's just a soldier. ”
"The minister is willing!" Shi Feng had hope in his heart, and he shouted much louder.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at the faces of the ministers, and saw that they still didn't let go, so he snorted lightly, "When I am the emperor, that's how to be." Shi Feng dared to lead his troops out of the customs to engage the enemy in close combat, such a brave spirit, I have not seen many generals before!
Now the name of the Ming Dynasty is Zhengde, and what is positive also has this fierce martial virtue! I don't care about anything else, if I am a Ming soldier and dare to show my sword, even if I am defeated, I will not kill my head, why? Because he is working hard for Daming and for me! It doesn't matter if they don't fight it, I will accompany them to tighten their clothes and food, accumulate military supplies, and fight again!
Speaking of this, his voice suddenly raised: "Let's look at General Shi again, who is the one who suffered the injuries on his body?" Who shed the blood on his body?! Could it be that he was stabbed by the Tatars, and when he returned to the palace, he would be stabbed by his own people again! Absolutely not!
The Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five, and he has to bear the responsibility of the world, and I will leave this defeated general for the people of the world today! As for the merits and demerits, thousands of years later, it will be left for future generations to comment! ”
Shi Feng was greatly moved after hearing this.
This is the heroic emperor.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! Shi Feng swears here that in this life and this life, he will smear His Majesty's liver and brains and kill all the northern captives for the Ming Dynasty! ”
When Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are gone, there will be no one in the court to oppose him at this juncture.
In fact, Wang Wei, Min Jue and others were all people who identified with the emperor.
There is nothing wrong with the emperor having this responsibility and courage.
To say something rebellious,
If the orthodox emperor could stay in the palace like he does today, and arrange the ministers who should be arranged, why would there be a shame in the civil fort?
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!!"
In the end, it turned into a sentence of three shouts.
However, regarding the disposal of Shi Feng, it is still necessary to continue.
His current official position can't be kept, after all, if he loses the battle, if there is no certain reward and punishment mechanism, then defeating the battle will become a matter of indifference.
"Shi Feng, there are about half of the people in the Tiger Benwei, and these people are also your old subordinates who have experienced the fiasco of Bauhinia Pass. I still hand them over to you, you are demoted to the commander, and Zhu Feng is demoted to the commander and the commander. Are you willing to receive your life?! ”
"I wish to receive the Holy Command!"
"Good. At this moment, Yizhou and Laishui have large armies stationed, and temporary transfer is taboo. So, you go to Liangxiang County. At this time, the common people were particularly active in resisting the Tatars, and when you arrived in Liangxiang, I allowed you to recruit the villagers, connect with the militia, and fight with them. I hope you live up to the name of the tiger! ”
"Weichen, thank you for Your Majesty Longen!"
……
……
Although Shi Feng was in a coma at the time, he was exhausted, and his subordinates beside him had always protected him, so he was only slightly injured.
After coming out of the palace, he took the token of the Tiger Benwei Commander and found Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng fought as hard that day, he was blocked by the Tatar army attacking from the back of Bauhinia Pass, but he did not escape, but gathered all the soldiers of the Tiger Benwei to attack several times in a row, and finally he was really outnumbered, he himself was a little wounded, and his head was still wrapped in gauze.
Maybe men are easily infected by the atmosphere of living and dying together in the military, and Zhu Feng's temperament has also changed a little after witnessing the death of the people around him.
He's not the kind of sudden enlightenment, he just wants revenge and shame.
Shi Feng is okay, he still has such a face-saving thing as the son of Chengguo Gong.
The ancestors killed the Quartet, and the descendants hurriedly broke through?
It's a joke.
"Commander Shi, when are you leaving?"
"The imperial court has given three days to select the soldiers who can fight in the Tiger Benwei, and they will set off at noon in three days."
"The end will come!"
It stands to reason that Shi Feng should advise him, although it is not a fatal injury, but at least the injury should be healed first. But as someone who also experienced the Battle of Bauhinia Pass, he understood Zhu Feng's thoughts.
Therefore, he did not say a word of persuasion.
……
……
And at this time the Bauhinia Pass, the Tatar camp.
Dayan Khan gave his troops two days of luxurious rest,
It was Ma Yiqian who made this suggestion.
He thinks that like Yexian, it is not a good choice to run to Jingshi non-stop.
He said to Dayan Khan: "The Great Khan still has 50,000 soldiers and horses, of which there are still more than 30,000 elite cavalry, as long as the morale of the army is available, the soldiers are full of energy, and they will be the generals who dare to fight, and the Ming Dynasty has no ability to defeat the Great Khan." Unless, like the Yexian Taishi back then, he turned an elite soldier into a tired army. Compared with this, what is the problem of arriving in Beijing two days earlier and arriving in Beijing two days later? ”
Dayan Khan was quite reasonable when he heard this, and in addition, the battle of Bauhinia Pass was indeed too difficult for the soldiers to fight continuously.
Now, after two days of rest, the situation is much better.
But they can't rest too much, not because they're afraid, but because their food is running out.
In other words, it's time to strike.
In addition, in the past two days, Dayan Khan has not completely left it alone, and there are no fewer scouts who go out to explore.
There are some situations that he also understands.
"Yizhou and Laishui, the defenders are here, how do you think you should deal with this?"
Ma Yiqian said disapprerovingly: "Bauhinia Pass can't stop the sweat, can the two county towns stop it?" ”
It makes sense.
"But there's a strange phenomenon." Dayan Khan also encountered it for the first time, "The people sent by Ben Khan to inquire about the news always can't come back. What does this mean? ”
Ma Yiqian also knew, "The Ming army is poor in donkey skills, and it is encouraging the people to fight against the Great Khan." ”
"The people? Hahaha. Dayan Khan and the generals in the tent laughed, "Can the people resist the army of Ben Khan?" ”
These people were laughing, but Ma Yiqian didn't laugh,
"It's really funny at this point, but the problem is that it's the plan of tomorrow."
"So what?" Dayan Khan disagreed.
Ma Yiqian had palpitations, "The Son of Heaven has always been thoughtful in his plans. ”
"He is really so powerful, why did he still suffer defeat at Bauhinia Pass?!"
"Hahaha!"
There was another wild laugh in the tent.
Only Ma Yiqian muttered in his heart, if I hadn't reminded you, you would still be consuming in front of the Bauhinia Pass, and I don't know what to waste, people are waiting for reinforcements, what are you waiting for?
Where is it like now, although there are some casualties, but the situation is open, I don't know how many times better than before being blocked in the Bauhinia Pass.
In other words, the arrangement of the Son of Heaven in the Ming Dynasty was actually not wrong, but there was just one more variable in himself.
"Herald! March! ”
Woo! Woo!
The sound of military trumpets resounded through the valley, and the rumbling hooves of horses could be heard for ten miles.
As soon as it moved here, Yizhou and Laishui began to receive news that the Tatar march was slow, so after the Bauhinia Pass was lost, most of the people in the two counties fled out, and after a few days of hard work, they walked seventy or eighty percent, and those who stayed were not because of anything else, but listened to the will of the imperial court and chose to kill the Tartars!
So when Dayan Khan led his troops to the county seat of Yizhou, he found that it was an empty city.
"Empty city?" Dayan Khan was also a person who knew some Han Chinese history.
Ma Yiqian can't figure out what the situation is, he has some talents, but he is not an unborn strategist, and he can't master everything.
He just had a gut feeling. The Ming army must have prepared the means of attack.
"You can't enter this city!"
Bals yelled, "Fart! Even the defenders of the city can't stop us! Why can't you enter a city that has run away?! ”
Dayan Khan was more cautious, "Kutai, you take all the men and horses to the city to search for some food, and the rest are stationed outside the city." ”
"Yes!"
This went on until the evening, in fact, there was nothing abnormal, although Ma Yiqian was very nervous.
But after nightfall, things started to look different.
Woo~poof!
A firework flew into the air, followed by a sudden shout.
"Rush!!"
"Kill the enemy and get a reward!!"
