Chapter 166: In front of the capital, fight to the death!

"The main general ignores the cowardly retreat of the soldiers, and the commander does not need to scruple and behead him!"

"If the forward soldiers ignore the rear army and the soldiers who retreat, the rear army will cut the front army!"

"If the soldiers are cowardly and do not bravely do not advance, they will kill the whole army!"

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"Those who are defeated and surrendered, behead the whole family, and confiscate the family property!"

"Those who spread rumors to confuse the public will behead the whole family, and the family property will be confiscated!"

"The soldiers flee from the battle, and those who do not listen to the orders of the main general will be beheaded!"

Yu Qian glanced at the generals: "I'm done, do you have anything to add?" ”

The generals were silent, even a little angry, they had never seen this kind of military regulation.

It's really ...... It's too much of a deception!

Yu Qian did this, which can be said to have forced everyone to a dead end.

Normally, ordinary soldiers are not responsible for victory and defeat, but under Yu Qian's military regulations, one careless is to behead the whole family.

This is really excessive, and what is even more excessive is that Yu Qian did not even let go of the main general.

The soldiers fled from the battle and did not listen to the orders of the commander, and beheaded the commander; This is too ruthless, and under such high pressure, it is difficult to ensure that the soldiers do not escape.

This kind of joint sitting method should not appear in the army at all.

The army is no better than officialdom, these main generals know that if they are in a hurry, they will be furious, and any one of the camp roars and mutinies is enough for them to drink a pot.

You must know that the big-headed soldiers also eat with their mouths, how much consciousness do you expect them to have?

Xiucai met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly, but the big-headed soldier was not a reasonable person!

This Yu Qian, does he know the soldiers?

Shi Heng said in a loud voice: "Yu Shangshu, if such a military order continues, I am afraid that before it is fought, our Ming army will be in chaos." ”

Yu Qian said: "I know this is excessive, but we don't have a choice, don't talk about them, let's talk about everyone here." ”

He glanced at these people and said quietly, "If the city is broken, who can live alone?" ”

The crowd will be silent.

They understood that Yu Qian had calculated them, and in this battle, no one was spared, from the commander to the soldiers, everyone was tied together. ”

Yu Qian continued: "Before the war started, the emperor first rewarded one million silver tattoos, and the emperor still promised that after the war, he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds, down to the soldiers, up to the main general, and speak with his achievements." ”

Yu Qian said lightly: "Everyone, whether you will be added to the rank of knight, or the whole clan will be destroyed, they are all in this battle!" ”

Yang Hong gritted his teeth, got up and said: "Everyone, the Jingshi is the foundation of the country, although the situation is precarious now, however, this is our territory, the order to transfer troops was issued earlier, and it will not be long before a steady stream of reinforcements arrive!" ”

Hearing Yu Qian's sweet dates and Yang Hong's words of relief, the faces of the generals looked a lot better.

Shi Heng smashed the table and said in a muffled voice: "The eldest husband lives in heaven and earth, and he should be loyal to the country and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Be loyal to the country and make contributions!" The congregation agreed.

Obviously, this is a test of life and death, but it is also an opportunity.

As long as you get through this crisis, it is almost inevitable to show your face in front of the new emperor who has just ascended the throne and get ahead.

Seeing this, Yu Qian immediately said, "Without further ado, the generals should hurry up and prepare as soon as possible." ”

"The last general commands."

Yu Qian returned home, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, took out forage to feed the donkey, and said goodbye to his family.

Then, put on your armor and head to Desheng Gate.

In this battle, those generals and soldiers had no way to retreat, and neither did he Yu Qian.

The battle of the shipwreck, come on!

~

At this time, Li Qing was still on the way on horseback.

The weight of the big knife was too heavy, and it seriously slowed down his foot, but he was reluctant to lose it, after all, he gave the position in the matter with his seven grades, and commanded the army with power.

If you go, you just go into battle to kill the enemy, and even if you kill the enemy, you naturally can't lose this weapon.

The big knife was so big that it almost caught up with his height, but it wasn't something he could find.

Of course, the main thing is that Li Qing is not in a hurry.

There is no urgency at all when Zhu Qizhen was on the expedition, this is to give confidence in Daming and trust in Qian.

Today's Ming Dynasty is not comparable to the Northern Song Dynasty, the national strength is very strong, and there is no traitor like Qin Hui, the soldiers are united, and it is not difficult to block the Tatars.

This is the realm of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements.

Tatar, it won't work!

~

The Tatars came sooner than expected, and arrived in the evening of the second day.

"Here we are."

Tokhtar Polo looked at the city far away and breathed a sigh of relief.

He is a descendant of the pure Yuan people, and he knows that here, before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, this was their capital.

Their Yuan Dadu.

A hundred years ago, they were the masters of this place!

Tokhtar Polo's eyes burned with the flames of war, and he was full of spirit and madness.

There is a saying, give it a go, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

The current Tokhtar Polo is this mentality, if this battle can be won, it is impossible to eat the Ming Dynasty, but it is still possible to take down here, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, and swallow half of the Ming Dynasty.

In my lifetime, I can't help but recreate the glory of the past!

In the afterglow of the sunset, although the distance is very far, you can still peek into the capital, it is so majestic, majestic, magnificent, as if it is glowing.

At the thought that this place would be his own in the future, Tokhtopolo's excited soul trembled.

He suppressed his heart trembling from excessive excitement, and said in a deep voice: "Bury the pot to cook, eat and rest, and attack the city at night!" ”

He is bound to win, but he doesn't dare to be careless, after all, today's Da Ming is much stronger than when Da Yuan was the master here in the past, and if he can't do it in one go, it will be more and more difficult to fight in the future!

"Immortal Heaven bless ......!" Tokhtar Polo looked up at the sky and prayed sincerely.

……

Desheng Gate, above the city wall.

Yu Qian sighed, looked into the distance, and whispered to himself: "It's finally here." ”

There are so many people in Tatar, they can't hide it at all, Yu Qian already knows that they are near Jingshi.

If you don't attack now, you are obviously recuperating and preparing for a night attack.

Before Tatar came, Yu Qian was worried, but now that he has come, he has calmed down.

In this battle, there is no way back.

If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!

Yu Qian instructed the Jinyi guards in the city, "As soon as the battle starts, close the city gate immediately, no matter who calls the door, it must not be opened, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"Yes, sir." Hundreds of households in brocade clothes gave up their orders.

Yu Qian turned his head, looked at the sky, and said to the soldiers: "Order, open dinner!" ”

If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to fight, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

Although Yu Qian said ruthlessly before the war, he didn't really intend to implement it so much, taking a step back and saying, if the Jingshi fell, so many people would not be able to pursue it, and the battlefield was chaotic, so it couldn't be counted at all.

He just wanted to force everyone and unite the hearts of these 160,000 people.

Only by working together and working hard in one place can we keep this city and defend this country!

As time passes, the sunset turns from orange to orange, and then, completely disappears, and night falls.

Torches were lit on the top of the city, and the soldiers under the city looked into the distance, ready for a decisive battle that would come at any time.

~

Two watches.

"Click......!"

The horses' hooves with the big mouth of the bowl trampled on the ground, and the sound was dull, and thousands joined together, and the earth shook.

"Come on!"

Yu Qian took a deep breath, his eyes were clear, and he was about to turn around and go down to the city, but he was stopped by a hundred households in brocade.

"Huh...... Don't blame me, the emperor said, you have to coordinate the overall situation, and you must not have anything to do. ”

A group of brocade guards surrounded him and prevented him from going to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Mo said that Yu Qian, a civil official, was a veteran of the battlefield, and he did not dare to guarantee that he would be safe and sound in the face of the charge of the iron cavalry.

Yu Qian was silent, he was not angry, his responsibility was not only to guard the Desheng Gate, but also to be responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital.

"Alas..."Yu Qian slammed the battlements at the head of the city and ordered: "Lock the city!" ”

"Lock the city, lock the city......" Seeing that he was willing to cooperate, Baihu hurriedly ordered.

People don't make it difficult for him, and he can't make it difficult for others.

'Crunch......! ’

The heavy gates were closed, and the soldiers responsible for holding on had no way out.

Near, closer...... The Tatar cavalry galloped and slaughtered with unrivaled force.

In this era dominated by cold weapons, the strength of the cavalry is not only in terms of combat power, but also in terms of psychological deterrence.

......As the distance shortened, the sound became louder and louder, beating the hearts of the Ming soldiers like a drum.

Many of the Ming troops who fought these battles were just Tuntian soldiers, and they were croppers to put it mildly.

They were trained, but barely on the battlefield.

Looking back at the closed door, they looked desperate, the way back was broken, only forward!

"Formation!"

The commander-in-chief's military orders were conveyed through the standard-bearers, and the officers of each detachment received the orders and immediately issued orders, and the military orders were conveyed to every soldier from top to bottom.

In this battle, there is no retreat for everyone.

Like a tidal wave, they were forced to push forward, forced to gather together, forced to go into battle to kill the enemy, forced to carry burdens that did not belong to them.

No one wants to die, but their lives, they can't be the masters themselves.

......The Tatar war horse that was moving at high speed was tripped by the stake of the rejected horse, and flew out for a long distance, neighing constantly.

Many Tartars also suffered because of this, and were broken to death.

Before the battle had even begun, they were partially reduced, but this was only temporary, and soon the stakes were broken and the Tatars came straight at them.

"Kill ......!" The general's order was given again, "The people in the back can only step forward, and the people in front don't want to go, but they are pushed and have to go forward." ”

"Bell...... Poof! ”

The result of the contest between cavalry and foot soldiers can be imagined.

As soon as it came into contact, the phalanx at the front end of the Ming army was rushed out of shape, and some people were even directly flew, and blood was sprayed in mid-air, which was extremely tragic.

What is even more tragic is to be trampled to death, trampled by the horse's hooves over and over again, trampled into pulp.

As soon as they came into contact, the Tatars showed great combat power and brought the advantages of the Mongol iron cavalry to the top.

But the good times did not last long, and this advantage did not last long, and the momentum of the Tatar cavalry was slowed down and then suspended by the Ming army's blockage with the meat shield of the phalanx.

Then, there was the counterattack of the Ming army.

'Bang bang bang ......! First of all, the Shenji battalion in the center of the phalanx was powerful, and then there was a salvo of artillery at the rear of the formation.

The cannonballs streaked across the night sky in brilliant parabolas before exploding.

'Boom, boom——! ’

“%@#……!”

Artillery has a natural advantage against cavalry, especially against war horses, and the loud explosion has a high chance of frightening the war horse and thus making uncontrollable behavior.

Although the Tatars made preparations and stuffed cotton in the ears of the war horses, it only reduced the probability of the horses being frightened, and did not eliminate them.

Screams and curses were incessant, and many of the Tartars near the explosion site were thrown down by the frightened horses before they could escape the shells, and then trampled into pulp by the cavalry that came up from behind.

With the addition of firearms, the decline of the Ming army did not continue to expand, and after the Tatar momentum was neutralized, the combat power also declined slightly, and the situation was no longer one-sided.

It is that people have emotions, and if they have emotions, they will be infected, and under the rendering of the death of their comrades and the bloody fighting of their comrades, these Tuntian soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, the cowardice in their hearts has subsided, and they are as enthusiastic as the soldiers.

The Ming army began to fight back!

This night, the soldiers are iron horses.

On this night, countless people spilled blood in the night sky and died on the battlefield.

Three watches.

Li Qing rushed to the battlefield.

Seeing that the black was pressed and the shouting of killing was loud, Li Qing did not directly participate in the battle, but went around Deshengmen.

He knew that it was the main battlefield.

Sure enough, when he arrived, the battle had already entered the white heat, and Li Qing did not say a word and decisively joined the battle.

'Hum~' The sound of breaking the air is terrifying, and hundreds of catties of big knives are picked up, and the strength is incomparable.

"Click... Puff puff ...... "It's a person with a horse, and it's cut off with a knife."

But this time it is even more smooth, with the blessing of the big knife that picks up 500 catties away, chopping vegetables and chopping melons is no longer an adjective.

An inch long, an inch strong.

Li Qing's big knife is not only an inch long, but also a meter long.

Before the enemy could touch him, he slashed him under his horse.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, it is too expensive, Li Qing can only fight for a period of time and change to a horse.

It should be said that although Mongolian horses are generally not tall enough, their endurance is full, and they are more durable than the war horses of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Qing fought in and out, and under this kind of melee, his strength was effectively brought into play.

At this time, Shi Heng led his troops to support.

The candidate for the Nine Gates was decided before he arrived, and Shi Heng's task was to travel and support.

Shi Heng also knew that the battle in Deshengmen was the most tragic, so after solving some of the Tartars, he immediately brought people over, and he arrived at this time.

As soon as he came, he saw Li Qing killing all sides.

The moonlight was hazy, and Shi Heng didn't know who it was, but the big knife was really eye-catching, and it was twice as heavy as the knife he usually practiced.

Shi Heng swallowed his saliva: I thought my own was good enough, but I didn't expect it...... Whose general is this?

Damn, no matter whose subordinate it is, he must have to ask this person to come over afterwards...... Shi Heng licked his lips and shouted, "Brothers, kill with me!" ”

Shi Hengduan's bravery actually took the lead in the charge.

He played a very good role in taking the lead in the charge, and in this situation, the courage of the main general can greatly boost morale.

"Kill ——!"

Nearly 10,000 living troops joined the battlefield, and the Ming army, which was struggling to support, was like a source injected into the body, and the already tired body was full of strength again.

The already white-hot battle situation has been ignited again!

ps: 4000+, count it into two chapters.
