The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 54 The reason for the victory

"Ding Yi, I heard that you only had three or four hundred soldiers. How did you destroy the Tartars and behead more than two hundred soldiers in one battle? I'm really curious." At this moment, a wise general said.

This famous general was none other than Yuan's confidant Xie Shangzheng.

This person was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty many years later, and of course he is still a loyal general of Ming Dynasty.

"This is General Xie Shangzheng." Fang Daren was afraid that Ding Yi would not recognize him, so he introduced him.

All the generals also looked at him, even Yuan Chonghuan wanted to know how Ding Yi fought.

However, as the chief general, he was naturally embarrassed to ask. It is estimated that Xie Shangzheng still got his instruction.

"Thank you, General." Ding Yi stood up slowly, clasped his fists and said, "The Tartars are indeed very strong. In terms of personal bravery and field battles, our Ming soldiers are truly inferior."

Everyone nodded one after another. Everyone in the audience knew this truth.

"I just thought about it, since I can't fight in the field, I can only take another shortcut and find another way."

"At that time, Mr. Zhang Cheng died of serious injuries, and was humbled as a temporary acting defense officer. The army was in a state of confusion, and some people wanted to surrender."

The generals nodded again. They also knew about Zhang Cheng beheading Zhou Yong before his death. It can be seen that Xu Dabao was in great danger at that time. Everyone expected.

"Xiaozhi thinks about hunting with my father when I was a child. There is a tiger on the mountain that is so powerful that we, father and son, can't fight it head-on."

"So, a trap was dug."

"Dig a trap?" The generals were dumbfounded.

"The low-ranking people made a lot of fortifications in various parts of the city, dug countless traps, and then gave up the top of the city, allowing the Tartars to attack directly into the city."

"Hiss..." The audience gasped, no one thought that Ding Yi would dare to let the Tartars into the city directly.

Yuan Chonghuan also showed an incredulous look on his face. This style of play has never been seen in history books.

Zhuge Liang's empty city plan was also used to scare people, but he didn't really let the enemy in.

"The Tartars sent people to attack the city, and they rushed down. Of course they were very excited and rushed into the city one after another."

"We dug a lot of pits under the city. As soon as the Tartars entered the city, they all huddled on the city wall. The humble officials ordered people to throw kerosene. When the Tartars saw the fire, they rushed into the city one after another. As a result, they soon fell into the pit crying and howling. No casualties count."

"But those Tartars were also fierce. They drove the auxiliary soldiers to fill the pit and rushed through two deep pits."

Hearing this, the audience held their breath and felt relieved, even Yuan was extremely excited.

"We used the long spear array to cooperate with the archers to attack back and forth, and fought a bloody battle with the Tartars. We were defeated, and all the soldiers retreated."

Everyone screamed in unison, lost?How to turn defeat into victory?
Zhao Dashan and the others were amused when they heard it, such a war is like a novel for adults, it is really awesome.

"The Tartars became more and more arrogant after winning, and pursued them with all their might."

"Unexpectedly, we arranged a bigger and deeper pit ahead."

"The Tartars are screaming again, it's nothing to lose."

"Wonderful, wonderful, one ring after another." Fang Daren was overwhelmed.

He is a literati and doesn't know how to fight. Other famous generals are inexplicable, so easy?
How about digging a few holes for war?
"The main reason is that the Tartars were caught off guard. They didn't expect that there would be pits everywhere in our castle."

"After being trapped in several waves, the Tartars became more careful and did not dare to charge randomly."

"As long as we don't rush around, our formation will not break up and we will not be defeated." Ding Yi was talking nonsense at this time.

He didn't mention the most important street fighting, the coordination of bows and arrows and guns, and so on.

"If you retreat, you won't fall into your own pit?" Xu Fuzuo asked at this time.

"We all put the treads on the pits and retreated along the treads."

"It was chaotic and full of people, and the Tartars couldn't even look at the ground."

Everyone nodded. There was chaos everywhere on the battlefield. Generally, no one would pay attention to their feet.

It's just that everyone listens, and it's still unbelievable that you can win by digging a few holes?Too simple, right?
Ding Yi said again at this time: "The lowly position is bold. Every time our Ming Dynasty fights, we win less and lose more. Most of it is because the soldiers are not strong enough, and they will collapse at the touch of a finger. On the battlefield, a single blow can affect the whole body."

"If there is a collapse, it can easily lead to the defeat of the entire army."

The senior generals in the hall nodded one after another with solemn faces. What Ding Yi said hit the point.

"But there is no such problem in our castle."

"Everyone's relatives and family members are in the castle, and the Tartars have also attacked."

"The humble official told everyone that in this battle, there is no retreat. If you retreat, your family members will all be slaughtered by the Tartars."

"For selfishness, to defend the family, to protect brothers and sisters, to serve the public, to serve the court, the Holy Majesty, and Lord Yuan, we have no reason to back down."

"Only by bloody battle can we survive."

"This is the real reason why our three hundred elite soldiers won the bloody battle."

"Bang..." Yuan Chonghuan jumped up when he heard the last word: "Speaking well, fighting better, Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers, it should be so."

The audience was stunned.

Zhang Jing and Zhao Dashan glanced at each other at the same time. We still have a lot to learn.

The reason for the victory of the [-] Ming troops was ultimately to serve the court, serve the Holy Majesty, and serve Master Yuan.

What Ding Yi said, everyone has no excuse to refute.

"Lord Ding is a true hero." Fang Daren also sighed: "In ancient times, there were overlords who broke the boat."

"Today, Ding Yi sent his slaves into the castle."

"It's all about putting it to death and rebirth, good, great good."

All the generals looked sideways, Fang Daren compared Ding Yi with Xiang Yu, this evaluation is terrible.

"I don't dare to be humble." Ding Yi panicked: "This battle is a fluke, and I'm afraid it can only be used once, and it may not be effective if I fight again in the future."

Everyone nodded.

Yuan Chonghuan thought, it doesn't matter whether there will be any effect in the future, but the effect this time is very good.

He looked at Ding Yi kindly and kindly, and said softly: "Ding Yi, you have made great contributions and displayed my majesty as a Ming Dynasty. This governor will definitely ask the court for reward."

Song Fei and the others smiled.

Ding Yi was calm, still full of humility.

Yuan Chonghuan said again: "But you beheaded fourteen in the battle of the pier, and you have been promoted to three levels."

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, in a short period of time, I'm afraid I won't be able to give the third level."

"This governor asks the imperial court to promote you to Qianhu and serve as Xu Dabao's garrison." He paused, and added: "I have wronged you."

Fang Daren was astonished, and all the generals were astonished.

This is an unprecedented victory for Daming in the past few decades, and it is said that Ding Yi's promotion is more than that.

At the very least, the guards have to direct the matter, and it is only a matter of defense.

But Fang Daren immediately understood that Yuan Chonghuan wanted to attribute the great contribution to himself, and prepared for the future beheading of Wenlong.

"Thank you, my lord." Ding Yi bowed down immediately without hesitation, and said loudly: "Ding Yi is willing to be the sword in the hands of the master supervisor, to fight against the slaves and thieves for my lord."

All the generals behind him bowed down in unison.

Yuan Chonghuan wiped his beard and laughed out loud because of this flattery.
