The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 22

The hall returned to silence. There were people lying all over the floor, and blood almost soaked the entire floor of the hall.

Xu Wei and the other eight people looked at each other in dismay, unable to believe the scene just now.

Sein Fei and the others, who were carrying knives, had ferocious faces, like demons from hell.

They wandered among the crowd, and when they found out who was still alive, they puffed and made another blow.

Every time a knife is added, everyone's heart is shocked.

Even Ruan Wenlong, a civil official, did not expect that the thin and frail young man in front of him was a hundred times more fierce and ruthless than Zhang Cheng.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen colleagues were killed like pigs and dogs.

Of the 25 people present, seventeen wanted to surrender, and only eight were willing to fight to the death. In the end, Ding Yi and the others killed seventeen of them.

This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Daming Military Fort.

Shock.

Everyone was shocked by Ding Yi's crazy behavior.

Xu Wei, Du Ruhai and the others looked at each other, feeling a sense of fear towards Ding Yi deep in their hearts.

This son has been friendly to Zhou Yong from the very beginning, deliberately alienating Xu Wei, making them think that Ding Yi also wants to surrender
Lowered the opponent's defense, and finally turned his face suddenly, and killed him, regardless of his mental strength, he was far above Zhang Cheng.

We didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Everyone was shocked, happy and scared.

But at least one thing is certain, Ding Yi, like them, is a warrior who is willing to fight to the end.

"Good kill." Zhong Zhennu was the first to react, and said sharply: "Master Ding, I convince you, good kill."

"These bastards surrendered before fighting, so they killed well." Xu Wei, Du Ruhai and others also spoke out.

"Everyone, don't talk nonsense." Ding Yi said in a heartbroken tone at this moment.

Everyone is inexplicable.

"Xu Dabao Military News:" Ding Yi said in a deep voice: "On the 2nd of this month, hundreds of thieves and slaves attacked Xu Dabao with fine cavalry. Dynasty, Han Dou, etc. armed with spears and sharp arrows, desperately killed the enemy, fought to the death, sacrificed their lives for the country, less than 17 households in the fort, more than the general banner, [-] people died in battle—the loss of the elite—”

Without saying a word, Ruan Wenlong quickly picked up the pen and paper on the table and began to write the military report.

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded.

When the military report was finished, Zhao Dashan choked up and said, "Lord Zhou died heroically for the country, we should have a proper burial."

Everyone said yes again.

Ding Yi looked at Zhao Dashan strangely, and I said in a choked up tone, "You've learned it too."

"Actually, everyone is colleagues and brothers, and I don't want to do this." Ding Yi looked distressed at this moment.

"But Zhou Yong and the others wanted to surrender, and I had no choice but to make such a bad move."

"When I was in Ming Dynasty, I lost several important towns. Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Guangning were all three cities. There were people in the three cities who should have opened the door for the Tartars and were suppressed. Think about it, everyone. The brothers in the front are fighting bloody battles, and there are people in the back who open the door to meet the enemy."

"How to fight this battle?"

"I originally wanted to detain them first, seize their military power, and report to the court afterward."

"However, they have been in the fort for many years, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels is well-connected. If they are not careful, some people will take risks and suddenly open the gate of the fort when everyone is fighting the Tartars."

"The tragedy of the Shen-Liao War will be repeated in our Xu Dabao."

"Even if you brothers fight to the death, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

"I, Ding Yi, am not afraid of death. I'm alone, but my brothers will always have relatives."

"For the sake of everyone's relatives and family members, this official can only deal ruthlessly."

"I will handle all the matters by myself. In the future, if everyone feels that I have done something wrong, they can report it to the court at any time and let the court punish me. I will accept my fate."

As Ding Yi spoke, he choked up again, his eyes turned red.

"Master Ding." Xu Wei thumped and knelt down on the spot, his eyes were red, he was a majestic man, tears were about to flow out.

He sobbed and said: "Xu Wei was rude just now, please punish him." He just yelled at Ding Yi, knowing that he had misunderstood.

With a plop, he knocked his head heavily on the ground a few times.

The rest of Du Ruhai and others, as well as a few general banners, Yang Yong and others also knelt down and said in unison: "I would like to fight to the death with my lord."

Zhong Zhen threw out his long knife in a nuisance, chopped a stool behind him in two with one swoop, and said sharply: "Whoever dares to tell about today's matter, I will kill his whole family."

Ding Yi looked at Zhao Dashan calmly.

Zhao Dashan pushed his head fiercely: "Ah, Mr. Zhou, you are not dead yet."

Zhong Zhennu's face changed slightly, and he strode forward: "I'm here."

With a puff, he slashed at Zhou Yong's dead body.

"Kill." Xu Wei and the others stood up one after another and drew their sabers.

Originally, these people on the ground were all dead, but they cut them down again in turn.

After cleaning up, the living people in the hall are all Ding Yi's own people.

At this time, there were Ding Yi, Ruan Wenlong, Xu Wei from hundreds of households, Du Ruhai, Zhong Zhennu, the general banner Guo Jie from another fort, Zhang Jing from the other fort, Xu Bicheng from the general banner, Yan Xiong from the general banner, Yang Yong from the small banner, and a sergeant. Song Fei, Zhao Dashan, Wei Jiye, Li Zhongyi, Xiao Yongqiu, Chen Youfu, Yao Xinhan, and He Liangwu, the soldier who killed Duoge with Ding Yi, (Ma Yue was injured and not at the scene), Zhang Cheng's servant, Ding Shitou, etc. 20 people.

Zhang Cheng originally had two teams of servants, some of them died in the battle, and some others were just sent to Ningyuan on horseback to report the victory, and there were four outside guarding Zhang Cheng.

Right now, almost all the people in the fort who are willing to fight to the death with Ding Yi, as well as the middle and lower level officers.

Everyone is now looking at Ding Yi, waiting for his order.

Ding Yi first asked Ruan Wenlong: "How many people are there in the fort? How many soldiers can hold swords and guns?"

Ruan Wenlong said in a deep voice: "People come here every day. According to statistics just an hour ago, there are 620 people in the whole castle."

"Among them, there are 40 men under the age of 16 and over the age of 380 who can hold knives and guns."

Zhang Jing's face changed slightly, there were more than six hundred people in this castle, but there were too many women, children, old and weak.

"Mr. Xu, Zhou Yong's confidants, how many are there in the castle?" Ding Yi asked again.

"Only Zhou Yong has servants, not many, like ten." Zhou Yong has a team of servants, while the other hundred households have no servants.

"Those people, dare to fight?" Ding Yi asked again.

"The ones following him are all sycophants." Xu Wei looked disdainful.

Ding Yi's face straightened: "Mr. Xu, you should immediately lead the team to control Zhou Yong's servants and their families, and temporarily imprison them in the houses next to the stable on the west side. Mr. Du Banner, Zhong Zongqi, let you trustworthy brothers, guard the fort gate."

"No." The three said loudly.

"In that case, there will only be more than 360 people." Ruan Wenlong said in a low voice.

Zhang Jing looked at Ding Yi strangely again, Ding Yi had only been in for a long time, and he knew how many houses there were beside the stables on the west side.

As soon as he entered the fort, he was probably looking at the topography of the entire fort.

Heart secretly admire.
