I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 337
Chapter 336

"General Li!"

Li Dingguo turned his head suddenly, only to find that it was Cheng Shijie's own soldier Houzi, whose surname was Hou, whose real name was Hou Siwushang, or one, two, three, four.

"Why did you come back?"

Hou Si said: "I have a solution, maybe it can solve the problem in front of me!"

"what?"

Li Dingguo asked happily: "What can you do?"

"General Li, you are also going to Jing'an Fort. You should know how the commander stopped the [-] to [-] troops of Tuxietu Khan's army?"

Li Dingguo thought of the crux of the problem: "The parapet?"

"That's right!"

Hou Si pointed to the bottom of the city, the current Mongolian army could not wait to launch an offensive, they used leather whips to drive countless people towards the city wall of Pingding Prefecture.As long as you move slowly, you will be whipped with the most violent whip.A whip down is a bloodstain.Driven by the whips, thousands of civilians staggered towards the city wall of Pingding Prefecture with sandbags on their backs. Their expressions of despair could be clearly seen from such a distance.

Now the Mongolian army does not expect to be able to use the method of attacking the city with ants to attack the city wall. They drive away the captured Ming people, let them carry sandbags, and prepare to build a slope under the city wall of Pingding Prefecture. As long as the slope is completed, Their Mongolian army can ride horses and rush up to Pingdingzhou City along this slope.

Hou Si said faster and faster: "We can actually give up Pingdingzhou City now, and go southeast along Pingding Prefecture. There is a valley section for nearly [-] miles. We can hold the valley section. We retreat and build snow walls at the same time. Let the Mongols drive these people to dig the snow wall, let's compare now, is it us who are faster in building the snow wall, or they are faster in digging the snow wall!"

Li Dingguo sighed and said: "The idea is good, and it is feasible, but it's a pity, we don't have time!"

Li Dingguo could clearly see through the binoculars that the first people who came up with sandbags were old men with gray hair and wrinkled faces!At their age, they should be entertaining their grandchildren at home and enjoying family happiness, but now they are being mercilessly whipped and driven away by the enemy's whip, staggering towards this meat grinder. The battlefield is coming!
Li Dingguo naturally knew that the method Hou Si said was feasible to a certain extent, but the problem is that this place is different from the Baihe Valley. There is only one road from Jing'an Fort across the Great Wall defense line to Miyun County, and that is the Baihe Ancient Road. Cheng Shijie At that time, it was only necessary to guard the road, which was sixty or seventy miles long, the widest part was no more than [-] to [-] steps, and the narrowest part was less than [-] steps.

But the problem is that after passing Pingding Prefecture, it will be different. After passing Pingding Prefecture, there are two roads, the south line and the north line, that can lead directly to Yangquan. On the northern line, each line of defense has an average of only 2000 people, and the Ning Navy is almost out of ammunition and food.

More importantly, the Ning Navy has too few troops, and God knows whether Xie Zhiliang's old troops, that is, those defeated soldiers, can still be relied on, because the Mongolian army has captured their relatives, will they defect?

It's okay to guard in the city. If they retreat, will they herd the sheep immediately?Li Dingguo didn't dare to gamble. If Li Dingguo was to command 5000 Ning naval infantry, he would definitely dare to do so, even if it was [-] troops, he would dare, but the problem is that he dare not bet now.

Shuo Lei looked at the "Cheng" banner on the city wall of Pingdingzhou, and he smiled grimly: "Cheng Shijie, Ben Khan wants to see if you are really ruthless. Faced with so many old people, can you be ruthless?" Let the archers shoot arrows! If your heart is really so hard, it doesn't matter, I still have thousands of women and children in my hands, and I will send them to you to kill them one by one, and see how long you can bear it!"

As these gray-haired old men got closer and closer to the city wall, the Ming army soldiers guarding the city wall began to cry, holding rifles or crossbows while crying: "Don't come here again, you will die if you come here again!" of!"

At this moment, an old man with white hair and wearing a Confucian shirt in the crowd knelt down towards the city of Pingding. It was a last resort, the old man is not afraid of death, the old man is not a pity to die, but the old man's grandson is only one year old, he shouldn't die, he deserves to live..."

Hundreds of households in Pingding Prefecture guarding the city wall said in a low voice, "He is from Pingding Prefecture..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man didn't know where the strength came from. He carried more than 100 kilograms of sandbags and ran towards the city wall. Driven by him, dozens of hundreds of old people accelerated.

"boom……"

A bullet flew more than 100 steps away, and the bullet hit the forehead of the old man. The bullet entered through the forehead, but pierced through the back of the head, and it carried a large piece of skull. Half of the old man's head had been crushed by the rifle.

Li Dingguo put down the smoking gun barrel: "Fire!"

Whether it was crossbowmen or archers, they all gritted their teeth and fired, and the bullets and arrows flew across the sky for a while, but the problem was that the shooting effect was too poor. Many soldiers, even Ning Haijun soldiers, shot with their eyes closed. Yes, they really couldn't bear to shoot at the people of Daming.

However, although the hit rate was poor, many people were hit by arrows or bullets, and fell to the ground screaming.

The old people who tried to build the earth mountain fell down one by one, and those who were still alive clutched the arrow shafts that had been deeply penetrated into their bodies and screamed in extreme pain. Every scream was like a knife, stabbing hard The heart of the Ming army.

Especially those rout soldiers who retreated from Taiyuan, their eyes were covered with blood!If they hadn't retreated without a fight and abandoned Taiyuan, even if the enemy army drove straight in, how could these old people who have worked hard all their lives suffer such bad luck!If they hadn't fled and lost all the castles along Taiyuan, turning Pingding Prefecture into an isolated city, how could these kind-hearted old people have suffered misfortune!
Xie Shangkui said with red eyes: "General Li, the last general requests to fight!"

"As a general, don't raise your troops in anger!"

Li Dingguo had a determined face: "Righteousness does not lead to wealth management, and compassion does not lead to soldiers!"

"They are all innocent!"

"The commander once said that during an avalanche, every snowflake is innocent!"

"The fall of Taiyuan has nothing to do with them!"

"How could it be irrelevant? They are soldiers. The duty of soldiers is not to intrigue, flatter or flatter, but to defend their home and country. When they ran away, didn't they think about today?"

Li Dingguo's words made the surrounding Taiyuan officers and soldiers full of anger: "It's the officials who ran away, and there is nothing we can do!"

Li Dingguo turned to look at Ning Haijun and said: "If you encounter this situation, will you run away?"

"No, Ning Haijun will never take a step back without the command of the commander-in-chief!"

"What if your general runs away?"

"When we are the supervisor of the Ning Navy, when our military law team eats nothing?"

This kind of situation will definitely not happen to Ning Haijun. Even if a general is bought, he cannot mobilize an army of more than 50 people as long as he cannot produce an official military order. You know, this is absolutely impossible. Even if a general like "Xie Zhiliang" betrays Cheng Shijie and Ning Haijun, the people who do it will only be the military law team, not ordinary soldiers.

Once the general issued such an order, ordinary Ning Navy soldiers would judge that the general had defected to the enemy and rebelled. It was the most correct thing to arrest him and send him to the Military Law Office or the superior military supervision department.

This is the real purpose of Cheng Shijie's ideological education when he founded Ning Haijun, even before the military was launched.

Although the soldiers of Taiyuan Mansion began to release water intentionally, more than 2000 reconnaissance soldiers of the Ning Navy fired in an orderly manner, and more than [-] bolt-action rifles fired. The Jia soldiers could not escape death, let alone a group of old people carrying sandbags?

Within a few volleys, in front of Dingzhou city, there were already two or three thousand dead bodies lying on the ground.However, such a "record" could not make the Ming army happy. On the contrary, every time they fired a crossbow arrow or a bullet, their hands trembled even more.

At this moment, someone finally collapsed, threw the crossbow heavily on the ground with a bang, drew out the horizontal knife and panted, crying, "I can't take it anymore! Let me go, I will die with the Tartars!" ! I'm going to kill the Tartars..."

"boom!"

The revolver in Li Dingguo's hand shot the soldier dead with one shot.

"Keep firing, or he's your role model!"

Naturally, these Ming soldiers did not dare to violate Li Dingguo's orders.

Li Dingguo also knew that such a strong suppression would immediately cause a mutiny, so he began to organize his team. Li Dingguo said to the surrounding defenders: "Defend the city wall, or more people will die!"

"Report to the general, the scout cavalry is ready!"

A total of more than [-] Ning Navy scout cavalry has been lined up. Some of these cavalry have five or six grenades hanging on their bodies, or huge wooden barrels hanging around the horse's neck.

In fact, these wooden barrels were thunderstorms. When Li Dingguo decided to go out of the city to fight back, just like Xie Zhiliang who was guarding Pingdingzhou City back then, he no longer planned to live.

As the first wave of the Mongolian army's attack failed, the second wave of offensive troops, that is, when the women and children began to prepare, suddenly opened the gate of Pingdingzhou City.

Riding on a black horse, Li Dingguo raised his sword and said, "Annan's army is attacking!"

"attack!"

More than [-] Dutch warm-hearted war horses galloped out, avoiding women, children and children who had been dumbfounded for a long time, and headed straight for the king's banner of King Khan Khan of Chechens!

Hundreds of Mongolian cavalry wielding sabers to drive these women, children and children to fill the trench probably never dreamed that the Ming army cavalry dared to attack the city, and they were stunned.

Before they could react, Li Dingguo had already rushed in front of them. With a puff, he pierced the centurion leading the team from the front to the back. The speed of the horse did not slow down, and he used the elasticity of the gun to easily push the gun away. Feng pulled out, and at the moment when he passed by a Mongolian cavalryman, he used the horse lance as a long whip, and whipped towards that unlucky man with a whoosh!
The whole horse lance weighed eleven catties and seven taels, or about six point seven seven kilograms. In his hands, such a heavy weapon was as flexible as a tree branch. The whole head was blown off with a bang.

The hundreds of scout cavalrymen of the Ming army were not as brave as Li Dingguo, but under the rage, they were like lions and tigers, stabbing with spears, swinging sabers, and killed hundreds of Mongolian cavalrymen with one charge, and then followed Li Dingguo's battle flag, Go straight to the king's flag of Chechen Khan!
Those women, children and children who had reacted were still on the spot, and the defenders of the Ming army on the city wall were anxious: "Run, run, run into the city!"

With the roar on the city wall, these women, children and children came to their senses, and they scrambled to run into the city gate. At this time, the Mongolian army did not have the energy to take care of them, because Li Dingguo had already rushed to Shuo Lei's king's flag.

"Protect King Khan!"

Shuo Lei watched thousands of Mongolian troops rushing towards him. Behind the thousands of Mongolian troops, a black wave was overflowing the horizon and approaching this side. Whenever this black wave approached a step, The Mongolian army fled faster. Such a strange scene is really surprising.

Nabulun rode his horse out of the battle, drew out his saber, and shouted sharply: "The defeated soldiers stop, and those who disturb our army will die!"

More than 2000 archers opened their bows and set arrows, pointed at the fleeing Mongolian soldiers, and shouted in unison: "Whoever disturbs our army will die!"

Although these thousands of Mongolian troops were beaten out of their bodies, they still had a semblance of reason, knowing that if they rushed straight over to disrupt King Khan's formation, and Ning Haijun took advantage of the momentum to kill them, this place would become a sea of ​​blood. They bypassed the army one after another. Although they caused some confusion, they did not disrupt Shuo Lei's King Khan's guards as Li Dingguo wished.

Shuo Lei was so angry that he took a whip and beat the leader of the Wan Fu, Sun Dusi, while whipping, he scolded: "You dog like a dog, look at the stupid things you did, 8000 people were smashed by 800 people! Tai Chi You have lost all face of the Wu family!"

Sundusi is also the surname of Mongolian nobles. Its ancestry can be traced back to Boyan, the founding general of Kublai Khan and the official residence of Prime Minister Zuo. Of course, the word Boyan means wealth in Mongolian, which is roughly equivalent to a certain wealth in Chinese. , a name like Laicai.

"King Khan, this Ming army is full of weirdness. According to this slave, we should be cautious!"

Let me say one more thing here, the word slave comes from Mongolian, which means dog.

Li Dingguo saw that there were too many people around Shuo Lei, and Ning Haijun did not have the advantage of artillery, so it was too disadvantageous to fight, but he turned to rush towards the artillery positions of the Mongolian army.

……

About 20 miles away from Pingding Prefecture, a small cavalry is desperately advancing. In the middle of the team, there are two war horses pulling a fishing net.

Cheng Shijie, who was wearing a standard Ning navy armor, was lying on the fishing net. Cheng Shijie woke up slowly after being bumped. He opened his eyes and listened to the whistling sound coming from his ears.

"Come on, what's going on?"

Cheng Shijie remembered what Li Dingguo wanted to tell him, but when his eyes went dark, he didn't know what happened next.

"Big guy!"

Fang Quan didn't know how to explain to Cheng Shijie.

"Where is here?"

"Report to Commander, we are still twenty or thirty miles away from Yangquan!"

Fang Quandao: "When we arrive at Yangquan, we will be safe!"

"go back!"

"what?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cheng Shijie showed fierce, wolf-like gazes: "I want you to go back!"

Fang Quan shook his head and said: "Commander, Pingding Prefecture can no longer be defended. If you go back, Commander, if there is an emergency... Do you know how much it will hit Daming? If you have a good or bad, Didn’t those despicable people succeed?”

Cheng Shijie took out the shell gun on his body: "Fang Quan, you are not timid, stop!"

Fang Quan had no choice but to ask the cavalry guards to stop.

"Marshal, if you kill me, I won't let you go back!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Aren't you afraid of death, kid?"

"I'm afraid, but the commander-in-chief can't do anything, the world cannot live without the commander-in-chief!"
