Chapter 336

"General Lee!"

Li Dingguo turned back suddenly, but found that it was Cheng Shijie's personal soldier monkey, the monkey's surname was Hou, and his real name was Hou Unscrupulous, which can also be said to be one, two, three, four.

"Why are you back?"

Hou said: "I have a way, maybe I can solve the problem in front of me!" ”

"What?"

Li Dingguo asked happily: "What can you do?" ”

"General Li, you also went to Jing'an Fort, you should know what method the marshal used to stop the sixty or seventy thousand troops of the Tushetu Khan in the first place, right?"

Li Dingguo thought of the crux of the question: "Breastwork? ”

"That's right!"

Hou Shi pointed to the city, the current Mongol army could not wait to launch an offensive, and they used leather whips to drive hundreds of people to the city wall of Pingdingzhou. As long as the movement is a little slower, he will be whipped with the most violent leather whip. A whip down was a bloodstain. Driven by the leather whip, thousands of civilians stumbled towards the city wall of Pingdingzhou with sandbags on their backs, and their desperate expressions could be seen clearly from such a distance.

Now the Mongol army does not expect to be able to attack the city wall by means of ants, they drive the captured Ming people, let them carry sandbags, and prepare to build a slope under the city wall of Pingdingzhou, as long as the slope is built, their Mongolian army can ride war horses, along this slope to rush to Pingdingzhou City.

Hou Xian said faster and faster: "We can actually give up Pingdingzhou City now, along Pingdingzhou to the southeast, there are nearly thirty miles of valley sections, we can hold the valley section, we retreat, while building a snow wall, let the Mongols drive these people to dig the snow wall, let's compare now, whether we build the snow wall faster, or they dig the snow wall faster!" ”

Li Dingguo sighed and said: "The idea is good, and it has a certain feasibility, but it's a pity that we don't have time!" ”

Li Dingguo can clearly see through the telescope that the first people who started to carry sandbags were gray-haired and wrinkled old men! At their age, they should be at home to tease their grandchildren and enjoy their families, but now they are mercilessly whipped and driven by the enemy's whips, and they stagger towards this meat grinder-like battlefield!

Li Dingguo naturally knew that the method Hou Shi said had a certain feasibility, but the problem was that it was different from the Baihe River Valley, from Jing'anbao through the Great Wall defense line to Miyun County, there was only one road, that is, the Baihe Ancient Road, Cheng Shijie only needed to hold this one for sixty or seventy miles, the widest part was only 1,7800 steps, and the narrowest place was less than 500 steps.

But the problem is that after Pingdingzhou, it is different, after Pingdingzhou, there are two roads that can lead directly to Yangquan in the south and north, and Li Dingguo does not have many men and horses under him, once the troops are divided, whether it is the southern line or the northern line, the average defense line is only 2,000 people, and it is the Ning Navy that is almost exhausted.

What's more critical is that the Ning Navy has too few people, and God knows if Xie Zhiliang's old troops, that is, those defeated soldiers, can still be relied on, because the Mongol army captured their relatives, will they defect to the battle?

It's okay to stay in the city, but if they are allowed to retreat, will they immediately herd the sheep? Li Dingguo didn't dare to bet, if Li Dingguo was asked to command 10,000 Ning naval infantry, he would definitely dare to do it, even if it was 5,000 people, he would dare, but the problem was that he didn't dare to bet now.

Shuo Lei looked at the banner of the word "Cheng" on the city wall of Pingdingzhou, and he smiled fiercely: "Cheng Shijie, Ben Khan wants to see if Ling is really ruthless, in the face of so many old people, can you be ruthless and let the archers release arrows!" If your heart is really so hard, it doesn't matter, I still have thousands of women and thousands of children in my hands, all of which will be sent in batches for you to kill, see how long you can endure it! ”

As these gray-haired old men got closer and closer to the city wall, the Ming soldiers guarding the city wall began to cry, and they wept while holding rifles or crossbows: "Don't come here again, you will die if you come again!" ”

At this moment, an old man with white hair and a Confucian shirt in the crowd knelt down towards Pingdingzhou City, he kowtowed to Pingdingzhou City, and shouted at the top of his voice: "It's not for us to help the abuse, it's really a last resort, the old man is not afraid of death, and it is not a pity for the old man to die, but the old grandson is only one year old, he shouldn't die, he should live......"

The hundred households of Pingding Prefecture guarding the city wall lowered their voices and said: "He is the ...... of Pingding Prefecture."

Before he finished speaking, the old man didn't know where he got the strength, carrying more than a hundred pounds of sandbags, and ran towards the city wall.

"Bang ......"

A bullet flew more than a hundred paces away, and the bullet hit the old man's forehead, and the bullet entered through the forehead, but it went out through the back of the head, and carried a large skull, half of the old man's head had been shattered by the rifle.

Li Dingguo put down the barrel of the gun that was emitting gunsmoke: "Fire!" ”

Whether it was a crossbowman or a shooter, they all gritted their teeth and fired, and for a while bullets and crossbow arrows flew sideways, but the problem was that the shooting effect was too bad, many soldiers, and even Ning Navy soldiers shot with their eyes closed, they really couldn't bear to shoot at the people of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although the hit rate was very poor, many people were shot by arrows or bullets, and fell to the ground screaming.

The old people who tried to build the earth mountain fell down one by one, and they were not dead for a while, holding the arrow shaft that was deeply rooted in their bodies and screaming in extreme pain, each scream was like a knife, piercing the heart of the Ming army.

Especially those routs who retreated from Taiyuan, their eyes were covered with a layer of blood! If they hadn't retreated without a fight, abandoned Taiyuan, and let the enemy army drive straight in, how could these old people who had worked all their lives suffer such a fate! If they hadn't fled and lost all the castles along Taiyuan, making Pingdingzhou a lonely city, how could these kind old men have suffered miserably!

Xie Shangkui said with red eyes: "General Li, the last general asks for battle!" ”

"For the generals, angry and unraveling!"

Li Dingguo looked resolute: "Righteousness does not manage money, mercy does not lead the army!" ”

"They are all innocent!"

"Dashuai once said that when there is an avalanche, every snowflake is innocent!"

"The loss of Taiyuan has nothing to do with them!"

"How can it not be related? They are soldiers, and the duty of soldiers is not to intrigue or flattery, but to defend their families and the country. ”

Li Dingguo's words made the surrounding Taiyuan soldiers full of indignation: "It's the official who ran away, and we have no choice!" ”

Li Dingguo turned to look at the admiral Ning beside him and said, "If you encounter this situation, will you run?" ”

"No, Ning Haijun will definitely not take a step back without the order of the marshal!"

"What if your general runs away?"

"When we are the superintendent of the navy, when our military law team is dry?"

Ning Navy will definitely not have this situation, even if a general is bribed, as long as he can't get a formal military order, he can't mobilize more than 50 troops, and like He Sui made a move to Xie Zhiliang, ordinary Ning Navy soldiers know that this is absolutely impossible, even if a general like "Xie Zhiliang" betrays Cheng Shijie and betrays Ning Haijun, then the person who does it will only be the military law team, not ordinary soldiers.

Once the general issued such an order to the subordinates, ordinary Ning Navy soldiers would judge that this general had defected to the enemy, and it was the most correct thing to arrest him and send him to the military justice department or to the higher-level military supervision department.

This is the real purpose of Cheng Shijie's ideological education at the beginning of the founding of the Ning Navy, without even starting the military.

Although the soldiers of Taiyuan Mansion began to deliberately release water, more than 2,000 reconnaissance soldiers of the Ning Navy opened fire in an orderly manner, and more than 2,000 bolt-action rifles fired, what a terrifying killing density, even the heavily armored Jiannu white-armored soldiers could not escape death, not to mention a group of old people with sandbags on their backs?

Between several volleys, in front of Pingdingzhou City, the dead bodies were already lying on the ground, as many as two or three thousand. However, such a "feat" could not make the Ming army happy, on the contrary, every time a crossbow arrow was fired, every bullet fired, their hands trembled a little more.

At this time, someone finally collapsed, threw the crossbow on the ground with a snap, pulled out the horizontal knife and gasped, and cried: "I can't stand it!" Let me go, and I'll die with the tartars!" I'm going to kill the Tartars......"

"Bang!"

The revolver in Li Dingguo's hand shot the soldier to death with one shot.

"Keep firing, or he'll be your example!"

Naturally, these Ming soldiers did not dare to violate Li Dingguo's orders again.

Li Dingguo also knew that if he continued to press like this, it would immediately cause a mutiny, so he began to organize his team, and Li Dingguo said to the surrounding defenders: "Defend the city wall, otherwise more people will die!" ”

"Report to the general, the scout cavalry is ready!"

More than 800 reconnaissance cavalry of the Ning Navy had already been arrayed, and some of these cavalrymen had five or six grenades hanging on their bodies, or huge wooden barrels hanging around their horses' necks.

In fact, these wooden barrels are earth-shattering thunders, and when Li Dingguo decided to go out of the city to fight back, just like Xie Zhiliang, who was guarding Pingdingzhou City, he had no intention of living.

With the failure of the first wave of the Mongol army, the second wave of attacking troops, that is, when the women and children began to prepare, the gate of the city of Pingdingzhou suddenly opened.

Li Dingguo rode on a black war horse, raised his sword and said, "The Annan army is attacking!" ”

"Attack!"

More than 800 Dutch thermobaric war horses rushed out with four hooves, and they also avoided those women, children and children who had long been stupid, and rushed straight to the royal banner of the Chechen Khan Khan!

Hundreds of Mongolian cavalrymen wielding sabers to drive these women, children and children to fill in the trenches probably never dreamed that the Ming cavalry would dare to open the city and kill them, and they were stunned.

Before they could react, Li Dingguo had already rushed in front of them, the spear stabbed, and with a pop, the centurion who led the team pierced the front and back, the speed of the war horse did not decrease, and he used the elasticity of the gun to easily pull out the spear, and at the moment when he staggered with a Mongolian cavalryman, he used the horse lance as a long whip, and whipped it towards the unlucky bastard!

The whole horse weighed eleven pounds and seven taels, or about 6.77 kilograms, and such a heavy weapon was as flexible as a branch in his hand, and the barrel of the gun was stretched into a bow, and it was heavily pumped into the temple of the Mongolian cavalryman, and the whole head was blown out with a snap.

The hundreds of Ming army reconnaissance cavalry were not as brave as Li Dingguo, but under the rage, they were also like lions and tigers, spears and sabers, and they killed the hundreds of Mongolian cavalry with a charge, and then followed Li Dingguo's battle flag and went straight to the king banner of the Chechen Khan!

The women, children and children who reacted were still stunned on the spot, and the Ming defenders on the city wall were in a hurry: "Run, run, run to the city!" ”

With the roar on the city wall, these women, children and children came to their senses, and they rushed to the city gate, but the Mongol army at this time did not have the energy to take care of them, because Li Dingguo had already rushed to the royal banner of Shuolei.

"Protect the Khan!"

Shuo Lei watched as thousands of Mongol troops were rushing towards him, and behind the thousands of Mongol troops, a black wave was spreading across the horizon, approaching this side, and every time this black wave approached a step, the Mongol army fled faster, such a strange scene was really amazing.

Nabulon rode out of battle, drew his saber, and shouted: "The rout of the army stops, and those who disturb our army's formation die!" ”

More than 2,000 archers stretched out their bows and arrows, aimed at the fleeing Mongolian soldiers, and shouted in unison: "Death to those who mess with our army!" ”

Although these thousands of Mongolian troops were beaten out of their souls, they finally still had a trace of sanity, knowing that if they rushed straight over like this and rushed the Khan's army array, and the Ning Navy took advantage of the situation to kill it, it would become a sea of blood.

Shuo Lei was so angry that he took a whip and whipped the head of the ten thousand commanders, Xun Dusi, and scolded while whipping: "Dog-like dog, look at the stupid thing you did, seven or eight thousand people were overwhelmed by eight hundred people!" The face of the Taichiwu family has made you feel ashamed! ”

Xundusi is also a Mongolian aristocratic surname, the ancestors can be traced back to Kublai Khan's founding general, the official residence of the left prime minister of Boyan, of course, the word Boyan in Mongolian means more wealth, probably equivalent to a certain wealth in Chinese, a certain wealth and other names.

"King Khan, this Ming army is full of strangeness, according to the opinion of the slaves, it should still be cautious!"

One more thing to say here, the word slave comes from the Mongolian word meaning dog.

Li Dingguo saw that there were too many people around Shuo Lei, and the Ning Navy did not have the advantage of artillery, so it was too difficult to fight, but he turned to rush towards the artillery position of the Mongolian army.

……

About twenty miles away from Pingdingzhou, a small cavalry was desperately advancing, and in the middle of the ranks, there were two war horses pulling a fishing net.

Cheng Shijie was lying on the fishing net wearing a standard Ning Navy armor, Cheng Shijie woke up slowly after a bump, he opened his eyes and listened to the whistling sound in his ears.

"Someone, what's going on?"

Cheng Shijie remembered that Li Dingguo wanted to tell him something, but his eyes were black, and he didn't know what happened next.

"Dashuai!"

Fang Quan didn't know how to explain to Cheng Shijie.

"Where is this?"

"Returning to the handsome, we are still twenty or thirty miles away from Yangquan!"

Fang Quandao: "When we get to Yangquan, we will be safe!" ”

"Go back!"

"What?"

"You're fucking stuffing your ears with donkey hair!"

Cheng Shijie showed a fierce, wolf-like gaze: "Ben Shuai will let you go back!" ”

Fang Quan shook his head and said: "Dashuai, Pingding Prefecture can't be defended, Dashuai, if you go back, if there is a ...... Do you know how hard this will be for Daming? If you had a good one, wouldn't those scumbags succeed? ”

Cheng Shijie took out the shell gun on his body: "Fang Quan, you kid is not cowardly, stop!" ”

Fang Quan had no choice but to ask the guards to stop.

"Dashuai, if you kill me, I won't let you go back!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You kid is not afraid of death? ”

"I'm afraid, but the handsome can't do anything, and the world can't be without the handsome!"
