Chapter 11: Lightning Meteor Aurora Sword
It was the Qing army knight who died, but it was not Xie Chenfeng.
It happened unexpectedly. The nearby Qing cavalry couldn't help but hold on to the reins, and the horse's hooves were raised, as if they were about to take off. The cavalry who ran away did not know what was happening, and turned the horse's head back again, and there was an uneasy commotion in the Qing cavalry.
However, the cavalry of the Qing army was worthy of being well-trained iron cavalry, and after a short period of turmoil, the team calmed down and besieged Chenfeng Tuan in a difficult way.
The ruthless swordsman stands out like a flock, free and elegant, and full of energy. There is a faint boredom and silence written on his face. The deep, dark pupils reveal lingering sorrow. This mental state exudes a maverick temperament, awe-inspiring, chic and leisurely, deep and steady.
As soon as the horse flew out, there was a wolf-eyed and eagle-nosed leader of the Qing soldiers who looked fierce and treacherous, and he showed off his might and arrogantly questioned Chenfeng.
The ruthless swordsman turned a deaf ear to him, didn't bother to talk to him, and didn't want to say a word, so why waste his tongue on a person who was about to die. Some things are predestined, whether they are silent or silent, the outcome is the same. The end result is that the blades meet, so why bother with rhetoric and competition. He had seen through the world, and his heart felt infinitely tired and tired.
The leader of the Qing soldiers was furious, and his fierceness was revealed. The eyes shoot a fierce and hideous light, which makes people think of the wild wolf hiding in the forest and peeping at the pedestrians. He waved his left hand into the air and motioned for his subordinates to make a move.
The cavalry of the Qing army had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and as soon as they saw the order, they immediately looked like hungry tigers pounced. Suddenly, like a roaring tide, the team swept across the reef with a thunderous force.
Aurora Sword, Sword Ruthless, One Sword Out, Meteor Fall, Ruthless Swordsman Faster! Sword roars and dragon roars, whirling and turning, radiant and radiant.
The human sword is one, the person follows the sword, and the sword moves at will, like a dragon. The figure of the ruthless swordsman seemed to be a light and elegant white cloud, and it was easy to navigate between the gaps of the Qing cavalry.
It's too late, it's too fast, it's just a moment.
Suddenly, time froze, and everything fell silent.
The sword has been sheathed, and the wind is solemn. The two hands hung weakly, and the whole person looked listless. The gaze is infinitely bleak, desolate and silent. The ruthless swordsman hates the rivers and lakes of right and wrong, and always feels infinitely tired and sad in his heart every time he swords.
People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, which is the sorrow of chivalrous.
People are swords, I am fish and meat, either the fish dies, or the net is broken, intrigue, deceit, you kill others, others kill you, swords replace justice, grievances and hatreds are forever entangled. This is the rivers and lakes!
Many knights have taken the victory over the ruthless swordsman as a shortcut to fame. Although many people have lost their lives, the provocations are still continuous. Should this spirit of challenge be commended or ridiculed by the moth fighting the fire and going forward one after another? It is difficult for a ruthless swordsman to withdraw from the rivers and lakes, especially because his sense of responsibility and justice is extremely heavy.
The cavalry of the Qing army seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit! One by one, the corpses fell from their horses inexplicably. Not to mention those who fell off their horses and died, the headless corpse on horseback spurted blood like a spring, and suddenly fell to the ground weightlessly, most of them were stunned, and their eyes were full of surprise and despair. They didn't want to believe that there was such a miraculous and swift sword in the world.
Death without words, death of horror.
There was a horrific death around, and there was no survivor.
All the knights here were killed, but the horses survived.
The ownerless war horses screamed, some knelt down with their front hooves and looked at their masters sadly for a long time and refused to leave, some wandered among the corpses, sniffed or arched their masters' faces with their chews, and some looked up to the sky and roared and let their hooves run away.
The war horse is righteous, and the sword is ruthless!
The humanity of animals, as well as the animality of man, is equally unforgettable.
War horses are affectionate and righteous, and sometimes the world is indeed inferior to animals.
The ruthless swordsman sighed with emotion, a warm current surged in his heart, and his eyes were a little moist.
He suddenly heard the sound of strong and powerful horses' hooves, but he saw the back road waving flags, surging like clouds.
It wasn't until the ruthless swordsman in front of him realized that it was the cavalry of the Ming army, revealing a bold and open-minded and uninhibited one.
The Ming army had been devastated and demoralized since the fall of Beijing. The ruthless swordsman was surprised to find that this Ming army was different, and its mental outlook was refreshed, righteous and awe-inspiring, and majestic.
It's really commendable, I don't know which general's command?
Probably seeing a large number of corpses of Qing knights, the Ming cavalry hesitated.
A man who looked like a general jumped off his horse in front of Chen Feng, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Dare to ask the name of the strong man, but these Qing soldiers were killed by their feet?"
The ruthless swordsman looked at this person with a noncommittal smile, wearing black armor, a bright red cloak, a square face with sharp muscles, and a purple-green scar on his face, like a hideous centipede, looking majestic and fierce.
The general was humble and polite, and there was a hint of elegance in his calmness.
The ruthless swordsman had a good impression of him, treated him politely, and asked, "May I ask whose command is the general?"
The man's face immediately showed infinite pride and excitement, and his eyes were bright.
"Below is the general of Kamui General Xia Wanchun. ”
It turned out that the army led by Xia Wanchun had such high morale.
Shenwei General Xia Wanchun, famous in the world, dominant, was a famous prodigy when he was young, smart and studious, well-read and strong memory, poetry through Tang poetry, Chu words and Song words, all of which are fine.
When he was eight years old, he wrote a well-known sentence: When people don't complain about displacement, where can they avoid Qin?
He had great ambitions and vowed to drive the Tartars and recover the Central Plains. In 1645, when the Qing soldiers invaded Jiangnan, Xia Wanchun resolutely abandoned his pen and followed Rong, parted with the newlywed Yan'er's wife, and bravely marched towards the unpredictable battlefield of life and death.
Because of his resourcefulness and magical sword skills, he made remarkable achievements in battle, and was promoted to the rank of Shenwei General.
The ruthless swordsman said respectfully: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be General Shenwei's Hurricane Army. ”
The general reported his name as Shi Song, and then asked Chen Feng's name.
Chen Feng blurted out his name: "In the rivers and lakes, I have a nickname called Ruthless Swordsman. ”
The ruthless swordsman, that is a legendary master of the world, the dragon does not see the head and the end.
As if he hadn't seen it clearly, Shi Song took two steps back and looked at Chenfeng again with that look of surprise and admiration.
Immediately, he was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be a ruthless swordsman, no wonder the cavalry of the Qing army was spared, the aurora sword, the sword is ruthless, a sword comes out, and the meteor dies, and it really deserves its name! The swordsmanship under his feet is shocking and famous all over the world, and General Shenwei has repeatedly sighed in front of us that he has no chance to meet, and he never thought that today he would be able to meet with his feet in Pingshui, if our army can get the help of his feet, he will definitely be able to win, but I don't know what the king's will is?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly, "I am a mustard grass people, and I was so wrongly loved by General Shenwei, it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate." "The demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant, calm and unhurried, revealing a handsome demeanor.
General Shi Song secretly praised and ordered someone to bring the mount.
The ruthless swordsman jumped on his horse and walked slowly, chatting with Shi Song.
Chen Feng learned at this time that Xia Wanchun led the army to garrison here.
He also learned about the situation of King Chuang's army, and under the ferocious attack of Wu Sangui and the allied army of the Qing army, the rebel army lost Shaanxi and retreated to Shanxi. Wu Sangui led the first cavalry regiment in the eastern part of the country to besiege and attack day and night.
Wu Sangui! Chen Feng gritted his teeth with hatred, Wu Sangui, the old general of the Ming Dynasty, was known as "the first fierce general in the Kanto" knife skills were pure, and he was extremely brave, because of Chen Yuanyuan, he had a deep hatred with the Chuang army, and he was angry at the crown for the red face, it was he who lured the wolf into the room and acted for the tiger. He pressed the army step by step, Shanhaiguan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Wu Sangui was a vicious eagle following the righteous army, and he couldn't throw it away, and he couldn't get rid of it. He wanted to put the rebels to death and was happy.
Chen Feng was very worried, worried about the situation of the army, and worried about the life and death of the army. On the surface, he talks and laughs freely, and is funny and witty.
Chen Feng and Shi Song were talking, unconsciously approaching the barracks. The camp is like a boundless ocean, and countless flags flutter in the wind like waves. The tent seems to be like a reef tiger standing majestically in the rolling waves, the flag is like a sail, the tent is like a boat, the spectacular scene is moving, people seem to see the dotted boats scrambling to ride the wind and waves, crossing the ocean, and it seems that the waves can be heard, rushing, and slapping.
General Kamui had already received the report, and he led his whole team to meet him at the Ape Gate. The trumpets are in the sky, and the golden drums are like thunder. The ceremony was quite grand.
The ruthless swordsman rolled off his saddle and stepped forward eagerly, it had been a long time since he had seen his relatives, let alone brothers who were kind-hearted.
However, his pace slowed down imperceptibly, and he stopped not far away, looking at each other with fiery eyes.
Xia Wanchun wore a golden helmet on his head and a bright red cloak on his shoulders. Handsome and mighty. He was sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, like a beautiful and twinkling star in the blue sea and sky, shining with the brilliance of sensitivity and intelligence. The round face is covered with a layer of slight redness that can only be found after being exposed to the wind and sun, which makes him look mature and coached. The handsome cheeks are slightly spicy, revealing a reserved self-confidence that is neither arrogant nor humble, which makes people unconsciously produce a kind of envy and admiration, a young general, a romantic and talented man, this dual identity makes Xia Wanchun have a special temperament intertwined with calm and elegance, which looks otherworldly and unique.
The current Xia Wanchun is no longer the childish, innocent Xia Wanchun of the past, he has become mature and sophisticated, shrewd and capable. The situation is changing, and the unpredictable career of Rong Ma has completely changed him. With the passage of time, how many things are ever-changing, wind and rain, morning and dusk, flowers blooming and falling, changing with each passing day, Rong Ma is handsome, upside down, eating and sleeping in the dew.
The two teenagers stared at each other quietly with affection, and suddenly ran to each other together, holding hands eagerly, and couldn't help shouting their nicknames, and then asking for warmth, and walking into the Chinese military tent affectionately.
The two said high-sounding polite words to each other] and seemed very affectionate.
The great enthusiasm between acquaintances reflects a kind of rustiness or hypocrisy.
Both of them clearly felt in their hearts that there was a wall apart, and this wall might be a woman, maybe a position, maybe a guard.
Xia Wanchun had already learned from the internal report that Xie Chenfeng, the ruthless swordsman of the righteous army, was here for the "Military Defense Map".
Now the biggest enemy is the Qing army, the national righteousness takes the lead, and the grievances and hatreds between brothers are put aside for the time being. (In the historical environment at that time, the national righteousness they considered was the Han nationality.) )
Both of them know the principle of 'first outside and then inside', and they don't pierce the window paper, so they can pretend that nothing happened.
They feel reluctant but don't speak, but instead behave more passionately.
As I get older, I have more hypocrisy, and the world has become an actor without a teacher.
Life is already a kind of sorrow!
The attitude of life determines their respective mentality, some people are tired of it, and some people are tired of it.
In the past, when the young people had no scruples, they either punched each other or hugged each other affectionately, and rolled to the ground and laughed.
Now that they have matured and become famous, they have become estranged. Xia Wanchun's enthusiasm is solemn, and Chenfeng's enthusiasm is reserved.
The generals talked about the past and the present in the Chinese military tent.
At this time, a sentry dressed in civilian clothes slipped into the tent and whispered in Xia Wanchun's ear nearby.
Hearing this, Xia Wanchun's face suddenly changed, and his eyebrows frowned.
Xia Wanchun pondered silently, frustrated his teeth and cheeks, and repeatedly played with the teacup back and forth in his hand, and he unconsciously "clicked!" and crushed the cup, and the fragments cut through the palm of his hand and flowed red blood.
The heartstrings of the ruthless swordsman tightened, thinking that Xia Wanchun was going to completely turn his face with him.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, and their confused eyes focused on General Kamui.
He Huo Ran stood up, his face showing stern determination.
Everyone in the tent looked at Xia Wanchun inexplicably and stunned.
Xia Wanchun sensed that he was a little out of shape from everyone's eyes, so he tried his best to suppress his righteous indignation and try to calm his tone as calmly as possible.
"I just got a secret report, the traitor Wu Sangui led 50,000 Ningyuan troops to aid the Suzhou-Anhui battlefield, and they can arrive in Jinling in three or five days, so the situation has become extremely grim, you know, our soldiers are 70,000, and the Qing army that is facing us now is 80,000, if Wu Qing converges, the total strength is 130,000, and even more Ningyuan's army can fight well, which is by no means ordinary. ”
The air in the tent became more and more tense, as if the powder keg about to burst had expanded dramatically and heated up sharply. Wu Sangui is a famous general, both wise and brave, Ning Yuanjun is known as "the world's first horseman", its combat effectiveness can be imagined. The generals talked a lot, and their faces were afraid.
General Kamui pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing there calmly and freely, not speaking and listening to the speech, calmly and teasingly scanning the generals.
The generals saw Xia Wanchun's expression and gradually quieted down.
General Shenwei's eyes were like swords, righteous and awe-inspiring, and his words were serious: "Generals! As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, and the great husband stands between heaven and earth, and it is incumbent on him to protect his family and defend the country, so why fear life and death? I implore you to serve the country loyally and bravely kill the enemy. ”
The generals looked at each other and exchanged eager glances with each other.
At this time, a general broke out among the generals, walked to the center of the camp in three steps and two steps, and said heroically: "We are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, loyal to the monarch and serving the country, and we will not hesitate to do so." The voice was loud and sonorous.
It turned out to be General Ishimatsu.
Xia Wanchun smiled in his eyes and bowed slightly approvingly to Shi Song.
The ruthless swordsman also calmly stood up to show his will.
"Although I am a mustard grass people, I also understand the truth that the national disaster is at the head, and the husband is responsible.
The generals in the tent were originally men who had been on the battlefield for a long time, and their unrestrained and rugged pride was immediately aroused, and they sacrificed their lives to ask for help.
Xia Wanchun seized the opportunity to order the crowd to return to the camp and prepare to raise the account. After a while, General Kamui ordered the drums to be beaten. With the sound of urgent drums, generals from all walks of life arrived one after another, and the military appearance was solemn and majestic, and the armor was bright.
General Kamui sat firmly in the handsome position, his face was clear and awe-inspiring, and his eyes were stern and fierce, which made people awe-inspiring.
In order to smash the strategic intention of the Qing army of Wu Sangui and Su Wan to meet, in order to change the serious situation that might form, Xia Wanchun decided that the Ming army would raid the Qing camp before the Ningyuan army arrived, and destroy or attack the Qing army to the greatest extent. This is the only way to change the situation in which we are outnumbered.
Xia Wanchun calmly and methodically dispatched troops.
Shi Song led 5,000 cavalry, falsely claiming that the vanguard of the Ningyuan army was waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the Qing army camp, and if it was exposed by the investigation, he would forcibly raid the camp and bluff on fire.
Chen Feng led 20,000 elite soldiers for the second route army, and as soon as he saw the fire, he attacked the camp from Yuanmen.
When the Shi Song army and the Chen Feng army converged, there was no need to intercept the superior number of Qing troops, and a road was vacated for the Qing army to break through, so as not to make a battle between fish and fish. When the Qing army seized the road and fled, the two armies could then cover up and kill.
General Ma Bao and General Zhang Guoquan each led 10,000 soldiers to lie on both sides of Xuhu Road, rushing to kill the Qing army that broke through, and did not stop it.
Xia Wanchun led more than 30,000 troops to intercept at the end, and the first few route armies turned back to cover and kill, in order to form a situation of encirclement and eliminate the Qing army to the greatest extent.
General Shenwei also sent a hook and sickle army of 2,000 people to hide in the remote lanes and break the cavalry of the Qing army.
Xia Wanchun's command was determined, revealing outstanding military talent.
Chen Feng was impressed, could it be that he got Zhang Liangbing's book?
The war happened as Xia Wanchun expected.
It was night, the remnants of the stars were cold, and the moonlight was faint.
The Qing camp was on fire, and the Ming army dozens of miles away could see it clearly.
The Qing army was killed, besieged, and suffered heavy losses, and the Qing army general Shang Shan counted more than half of the remnants and survived nearly 40,000 people.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wanchun was such a loyal and righteous hero, and he used his troops like a god, Shang Shan knew that it was difficult to recover the decline, so he had to retreat and wait for Wu Sangui's Ning Yuan army to arrive.
Wu Sangui was anxious when he heard of the defeat at the front, and repeatedly drove Ning Yuan's army day and night, and it took only two days to arrive at the destination to join Shang Shan's Qing army.
In the face of the arrival of Ning Yuanjun, opinions within the Ming army were divided. Due to the victory in the first battle, some generals were hot-headed and advocated striking while the iron was hot, and the morale of the army was booming. It might as well be called a "radical faction", represented by Ma Bao and General Shi Song.
The "conservatives" led by Chen Feng and Zhang Guoquan believed that the Ming army was fighting a new war, the soldiers were poor, and the soldiers and military funds were in urgent need of supplies, and the Ningyuan army was sharp, so it was better to avoid it for the time being, and advocated strengthening the camp to defend as an attack.
Xia Wanchun and others of the "minority" analyzed the strength of both the enemy and us, pointed out the objective fact that the enemy is superior and we are inferior, and held that we should not engage the enemy head-on. They studied the operational characteristics of the armies of the two sides, and believed that the Ningyuan Army was good at fighting with a single army in Pingchuan, and put forward the strategy of indulging the enemy in depth, and took the initiative to retreat to the densely populated areas of the water network, waiting for an opportunity to break through the enemy's troops.
Three opinions emerged at the same time, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. The views of the radicals and the conservatives are completely different, and the opinions of the conservatives and the minority coincide. As everyone knows, war is a risky gamble. However, he felt that the decision should be made after careful consideration. The fleeting of fighters is more important than a quick decision, and the indecision of the commander often misses the opportunity.
Ning Yuanjun had arrived for three days, and there was no unanimous opinion within the Ming army.
That night, the allied forces of Wu and Qing suddenly launched an unprecedented fierce attack, and caught the Ming army by surprise with lightning speed.
The generals of the Ming army were indulging in the joy of victory, and no one expected the enemy to attack.
