The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 17 Xu Dabao is more dangerous?

Although he brought fourteen heads this time, according to the rules of Ming Dynasty, only three levels can be awarded.

A leader goes up, sticks to the team officer, team management officer, and defense officer.

However, the defense officer generally requires a thousand households to act, and may be promoted to deputy thousand households at most.

According to Ding Yi's thinking, the best result is to actually appoint the deputy Qianhu to act as the team officer.

But this idea can only be thought of now, he is a soldier of Daxing Fort, but he fled all the way to Xu Dabao.

Whether the head and the battle report can be sent to Ningyuan and Jinzhou is a problem. At the moment, it is better to survive first.

He pondered for a while, and said with a calm tone and a serious expression: "We fought bloody all the way, fleeing with life and death, and now the only thing I want is to bring you brothers back alive."

"Because we can kill Tartars only if we are alive."

After hearing this, everyone looked solemn and respectful.

Zhang Jing glanced at the heads on everyone's horses without any trace, "You don't want to be promoted, what are you doing with so many heads?"
But he had to admit that Ding Yi was very good at talking and could easily affect everyone's emotions.

He suddenly thought of a question. Before he defeated the Tartars, Ding Yi shouted loudly: "If you fight to the end, you will win."

Why not "Da Ming must win?"

In the past, on the battlefield, the Ming army fought bloody battles with the Tartars. If the soldiers shouted, they would shout that Ming would win to boost morale.

He looked at Ding Yi suspiciously. Of course, at this moment, he definitely didn't expect that Daming would die in more than ten years, so naturally he didn't take it to heart.

After a few words from everyone, the cavalry had arrived within a hundred meters of Xu Dabao.

There is also a bright flag on the fort, which proves that it is still in the hands of the Ming army.

Someone from above also saw them, boom, suddenly there was a loud noise, as if a cannon had been fired towards this side.

Everyone was startled, but they didn't see any shells, and everyone not only looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Stop." Ding Yi hurriedly called to stop, don't beat yourself to death just because it's ridiculous.

"Like a war?" Sein Fei also saw that there seemed to be a big battle nearby, and the traces of the battle on the ground were obvious.

"The Tartars have come to attack." Zhang Jing's expression changed slightly, and he looked around quickly, for fear that a group of rear golden cavalry would suddenly rush out.

Zhang Jing didn't dare to hesitate: "I'll call the door, everyone be careful."

Ding Yi looked at Song Fei: "You and Xiao Yongqiu explore the west, don't run far."

Nuo, Sein Fei and Xiao Yongqiu are relatively skilled in cavalry. The two turned their horses and ran westward for a few hundred meters. When they came back, buzzing, the front gate of the fort finally opened.

Zhang Jing waved to them from a distance, and everyone applauded and entered Xu Dabao.

The closer you get to Xu Dabao, the more you can feel the breath of war.

There is a ditch outside Xu Dabao, which is not deep and only four meters wide. In the ditch at this time, there are blood spots everywhere, the walls are broken and broken, arrows are everywhere, and many figures are walking back and forth on the top of the wall. It seems to be moving and repairing something.

Entering the gate of the fort from the suspension bridge, there is a strong smell of blood on the face, and then go inside, the smell, the smell, all kinds of strange smells come oncoming, the smell is extremely unpleasant.

What I saw was even more unbelievable. Sure enough, as someone said before, the castle was almost overcrowded. Because of Zhang Cheng's policy of clearing the walls and clearing the wilderness, all the piers and towers around Xu Dabao's subordinates, as long as they can run, come here up.

After everyone went in, a middle-aged man in his forties walked up to him, wearing a suit of Qianhu's clothes and wearing a bronze medal on his waist. It was Zhou Yong, the deputy Qianhu of the castle.

"Zhou Qianhu." Zhang Jing actually knew him.

Zhou Yong stepped forward quickly and whispered a few words in his ear, Zhang Jing's face changed drastically, he looked back at Ding Yi, and rushed in three steps in two steps, as if something serious had happened.

Ding Yi and the others got off their horses and looked around slowly.

Xu Dabao has a circumference of nearly a thousand meters, a rectangular shape, a depth of more than 300 meters, and a front of only more than 100 meters. The terrain and shape are extremely defensive.

But the inside is really chaotic right now, all the military households from the nearby piers ran in, and brought countless strange things, not to mention pigs, sheep, cattle, horses and mules, there are also many chickens and ducks, and there are also a lot of bottles for irrigation, all kinds of things. Materials and materials, some even bedding and wooden benches, I know what they thought when they escaped.

Ding Yi also saw more than a dozen wooden carts with wooden boards and firewood piled on them. Later, he realized that Zhang Cheng asked them to bring as much as they could, and brought all the things they could bring.

There were originally more than 300 people in the fort, but these days more than 200 people came from the piers in all directions, and some even ran over from other forts like Ding Yi and the others. Now the combined population is close to 600, so many people crowded In this fort, together with all kinds of materials they brought over, it made the fort very chaotic.

Ding Yi's first impression of internal organs and chaos in the fortress was, but what was even more frightening was that he clearly felt a sense of despair and sadness pervading around him.

Deputy Qianhu Zhou Yong took a look at them from a distance. This group of Ming soldiers wore horses and armor, which almost made him think they were the elite of the Ming army.

But he ignored it, didn't come over, and quickly turned around and disappeared.

Not long after, a Xiaoqi came over, asked about their background, and greeted Ma Yue.

According to what everyone had discussed before, Ding Yi said that Ma Yue and others went out to scout the post, and when Ding Yi retreated, everyone gathered at the pier, and after a battle, they came here together.

Hearing that they fought a battle and killed the Tartars, and saw a head on the horse, the little flag was obviously stunned, and after a while: "Zhou Qianhu asked you to wait first, and we will talk about it later."

"What happened? What happened to Mr. Zhang?" Ding Yi asked quickly.

Xiao Qi's expression was not good, and he shook his head and sighed.

It turned out that a group of Houjin soldiers came to attack this morning. The Houjin soldiers had about [-] cavalry at that time, and they were not too many. Generally, so many cavalry rarely attacked a big fort like Xu Dabao.

They drove more than 100 Ming soldiers and civilians to fill the ditch with their backs, and the cavalry followed. They first shot long distances and threw a few rounds, and then circled the city wall without going up the wall. The attack took less than half an hour.

The soldiers in the fort resisted desperately, and several Tazi soldiers were wounded, but dozens of Ming soldiers outside and Ming soldiers inside died successively.

After the Tartars attacked for a while, they retreated. Afterwards, Zhang Cheng reckoned that the Tartars were attacking tentatively to see the defensive strength inside the fort.

If there is no mistake, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, a large group of Tazi troops may come to attack again.

But unfortunately, Zhang Cheng boosted his morale and personally supervised the battle on the wall, but was shot by an arrow from the Tartars, wounding his right chest, and the injury was quite serious.

Now the morale in the castle has plummeted, and everyone is afraid that Zhang Cheng will die.

As soon as Zhang Cheng died, the dragons had no leader. If the Tatars came to attack tomorrow, whether the fort could be defended was a question.

Because Xu Dabao's three ships are currently out for business and have not returned, so now everyone in the castle is in a panic.

At the end, Naming Jun said: "Yesterday we received a call for help from the guards of Dasheng Fort, and a large group of Tartar troops went to attack Dasheng Fort."

"According to my lord's expectations, the Tatars who attacked us today and the one who attacked Dasheng Castle should be the same Niulu."

"They retreated immediately after probing for a while today. They should attack Dasheng Fort first, then concentrate their forces and turn around to attack us."

"Your Excellency wants to lead troops to rescue Dasheng Fort, but is afraid of being attacked by the Tartars halfway, hey."

After Ming Jun finished speaking, he shook his head. Looking at what Ming Jun said, the conditions were clear and he was quite thoughtful.

Presumably he also knows the reason why lips are dead and teeth are cold.

Dasheng Fort was destroyed, and within a hundred miles, there was only Xu Dabao, a lonely fort.

If a Niu Lu came to attack, Xu Dabao might not be able to protect him.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Ding Yi in horror.
