Chapter 172: The First Battle
The ancients said that people have three immortals, saying: "Taishang is virtuous, then meritorious, and then speak." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Although these three have not been abandoned for a long time, they will last for a long time. However, these three are not easy to do, virtue and speech are the things done by sages, philosophers and scholars, and ordinary people cannot do it. I'm afraid that what is easy for ordinary people to do is only meritorious service. Xin Xin Shizi, if you can't stand in the court, then you will fight on the battlefield, lift a three-foot sword, and make a name for yourself. It is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and fame and fortune are not, there was once an empty plan to govern the world and a country, and there was no fixed Qiankun and an inch of work, and the clouds and clouds have been waiting for this moment for a long time. At the moment, he was a little nervous, but more excited.
Outside the Desheng Gate, the flag beckoned, the crowd was crowded, the Chenghua Emperor on the city gate brought the civil and military officials to give the soldiers to see off, and the people under the city came one after another, all came to bid farewell to the warriors of the Ming Dynasty. Long Xiaotian led Yunxiao and them to the Chengtian Gate, clasped their fists and saluted, waving their hands. Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, all the soldiers felt warm-hearted, and the morale of the people was greatly encouraged, and they all wanted to live up to the saint's grace, and the people's expectations were.
Yunxiao sat on the horse, walking slowly, so many people's eyes were watching, he felt a little embarrassed, only lowered his head, did not wave or speak.
"Flying Kite ......"
Vaguely seemed to hear the voice of someone calling for the dragon flying kite, Yunxiao looked up, and saw a few people standing in the innermost part of the crowd on the right side of the road, a few familiar people.
Don't you know, it was Chu Qingyan, Cheng Zijin, Zhu Zhiming and Zhou Xiangyi who came to see them off, needless to say the voice just now, it must have been Cheng Zijin shouting. Yunxiao smiled at them, and Long Feiyu and Long Feiyu's attention had been attracted to them early.
Long Feiyu ignored the eyes of others and shouted: "Qingyan, don't worry, I will come back safely, you don't have to worry!"
Chu Qingyan smiled at him slightly, but there were many people with mixed eyes, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed on his face.
Cheng Zijin shouted again: "Flying kite, the battlefield is dangerous, you must be careful, be careful......"
He kept screaming and commanding, but Long Feiyu's face didn't change, and he didn't speak, just nodded to him slightly.
Yunxiao saw that Cheng Zijin cared so much about Long Feiji, and almost didn't take himself seriously at all, and secretly blamed this guy who was heavy on color and light on friends, and just shook his head and laughed lightly.
At that moment, a voice rang out, but it was its own.
"Brother Xiao Yun, you have to take care of yourself when you go, you have to be careful in everything!"
Yunxiao looked up, but it was Zhou Xiangyi who was instructing herself. He was slightly surprised, but out of politeness, he still responded with a smile: "I know!"
As he spoke, his afterglow fell on Chu Qingyan's face, and he saw her looking at Zhou Xiangyi with a surprised expression, and her gaze remained unwavering for a long time.
And Take's mind hugged his fist to them, wishing them an early victory. In the end, Chu Qingyan slowly turned her head and stared deeply at the clouds, her eyes were quite complicated.
Yunxiao also looked at her slowly, and the two stared at each other, although they didn't speak, but their eyes contained everything.
Just like that, just like that, with everyone's blessings, but also with some people's concerns. Just rushed to the battlefield, fought bloody battles to the end, and if Loulan was not broken, they would not return it, they would drive the Mongols out of the Hetao and across Yinshan!
Long Xiaotian led an army of 100,000 people all the way to Yulin, and the Tatar army broke through Jingbian with lightning speed, and the two sides confronted each other in Hengshan. Long Xiaotian's 100,000 army plus Yulin's 20,000 defenders totaled 120,000, but they had to face a Tatar army of 300,000. This situation did not allow them to slack off, and upon arriving, Long Xiaotian ordered the army to build a wall and strengthen the fortifications. The Tatars did not allow them the slightest respite, and on the night of their arrival, the Tatar vanguard came to attack the city overnight, intending to make a surprise attack while they were tired and unstable.
The 60,000 vanguard troops were so overwhelming, and the shouts of killing were deafening, looking at this formation, it was not inferior to the momentum of the ebb and flow of the rushing sea. However, the army of the Ming Dynasty was not covered, and their morale was high, and they had to take advantage of the first shot to let the other party know that they knew that they were powerful.
Long Xiaotian and Wang Zhi stood calmly at the head of the city, commanding the soldiers to defend against the enemy. Yunxiao, Long Feiyu, Long Feiyu, Wei Wei and others were also next to Long Xiaotian, waiting for dispatch at any time. This Tatar army was indeed very fierce, with the approach of ladders, rushing carts, catapults, and firearms, all the Tatar soldiers desperately moved forward. The Ming army on the head of the city shot arrows, burned them with oil, smashed them with stones, and hit them with firearms. The battle was extremely fierce, with corpses strewn across the city gates, dead and wounded on both sides, and the battle lasted from evening until dawn the next day, but no one in the Tatar army could get past the thunder pool. Yunxiao has experienced such a big battle again and again, but unlike the previous battle between the army of the Servant Kingdom and the Ming army, this scene is more shocking than tragic.
After several days of rapid marching saddle horses, last night experienced a battle of life and death, and the Ming Dynasty army was very tired. The next morning, they were anxious to eat something, and they prepared to rest for a while. But in less time, someone came to report that the left army of the Tatar army came to challenge. This made Long Xiaotian angry, he just wanted to take a nap, as soon as he heard the news, he was angry and summoned the general Zuo to go to the city gate to check the enemy.
Outside the city of Hengshan, the flags are unfurled, the drums are violent, the trumpets are continuous, the Tatar army is like a rainbow in the open area outside the city, through the autumn mist, see the head but not see the tail, they are all murderous, the face is fierce and the tiger looks at the city in front of them, there is a great momentum that wants to swallow a bite.
"This group of rabbit cubs, the feelings are not to let people rest, his grandmother is a bear!" Long Xiaotian looked at this group of Tatar troops from the top of the city, and scolded very angrily.
Wang Zhi frowned and said, "This Mongolian has a strong fighting spirit and is not afraid of death, so it is really difficult to deal with!"
Long Feiyu's face was full of disdain, and he said coldly: "Aren't they just relying on the strength of the crowd and want to win with the wheel war, the little trick is not to worry about!"
Wang Zhi glanced at him, was slightly surprised, nodded slightly, and said, "General Long is right, they just want to paralyze us, so in the general's opinion, what should we do?"
Long Feiyu said proudly: "Needless to say, let me lead the troops to go and kill them once, and frustrate their spirit first!"
At this time, he listened to Long Xiaotian's instructions: "Pass the order, the whole army is divided into three groups, the Yulin defenders are one group, the imperial court army is divided into two groups, three shifts and three down, everyone takes turns to defend the city!"
The herald was ordered to go, and Long Xiaotian said again: "No, now their morale is high, which is not conducive to war, wait and talk about it first!"
