Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 7 Capture Dodo Alive
At this moment, someone shouted loudly from behind: "Governor Lu of the Great Xuan, Mr. Zeng, the military supervisor, is here. Who is the person in charge of the Tumu Fort? Come out and answer."

Zhao Yi turned around and saw that the first person who came over was a tall, thin-cheeked, white-faced and long-bearded middle-aged man who was about forty years old. Stomach, a pair of sharp eyes on a thin face, coupled with a suit of armor, has a murderous look on the battlefield.

The middle-aged man was followed by a group of heroic generals, including a eunuch, because this man was too similar to the eunuchs shown on modern TV, with a wrinkled face, a sharp and thin chin, and a pair of mouse-like eyes. With cunning eyes, a flattering smile on his face, and a demonic aura all over his body, this person should be the Eunuch Zeng mentioned just now.

Zhao Yi bowed and said: "Zhao Yi, a grassroots man, is temporarily in charge of the civil castle!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "There is no need to stick to etiquette during the war. This governor is Xuanda Governor Lu Xiangsheng. Where is Du Zhi County here? Why didn't you come?"

Lu Xiangsheng?Could it be that this is the famous anti-Qing hero? In modern leisure time, Zhao Yi prefers to read some historical books and TV works of the late Ming Dynasty. Zhao Yi recalled from some of his own memories that Lu Xiangsheng led his troops in a city far away from Lujia. Zhuang was surrounded by the Qing army, and the supervising army couldn't save them. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng was killed because of the cannons. Although Lu Xiangsheng was a literati, he had superhuman martial arts.The person I admire the most in my heart is Lu Xiangsheng, I never thought I could see him here.

When Zhao Yi saw the hero in his heart, he immediately said respectfully: "Master Lu, since the Tartars crossed the border, all officials, big and small, have disappeared. .”

"This group of moths eat my Ming Dynasty salary, but are not loyal to the emperor. They should be killed!" Lu Xiangsheng said angrily. It is very good for the regiment to guard the homeland. What I need in the Ming Dynasty is an official like you who dares to take responsibility. From now on, you will be in charge of the affairs of the fortress. All the soldiers and villagers who fight against the Tartars in the city today will be announced by the governor. Your Majesty, rewards are based on merit."

Zhao Yi quickly bowed and said, "Thank you sir, I will obey your orders." Unexpectedly, he would suddenly become the parent officer of Tumubao from a grassroots citizen, Zhao Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart!

As expected, Lu Xiangsheng looked like a general. He picked up the binoculars in his hand to observe, and said confidently: "The Tartars are in disarray now. If they send troops to cover up and kill them at this time, they will cause even greater chaos. Just trampling on them will be enough for them. If you accept it, you will surely defeat the Tartars."

Before Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Eunuch Zeng smiled slightly behind him, and said in a drake-like voice: "Governor Lu, our family thinks that the Tartars have been defeated, which is a great achievement. Our army has traveled a long distance and is exhausted. , if you chase the enemy rashly at this time, if you fall into an ambush, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

Although Zhao Yi doesn't understand the art of war, he knows that the command system of the army in this era is not well developed. In addition, the soldiers are poorly organized. The morale of the soldiers is completely tested in battle, so sometimes hundreds of troops defeat tens of thousands of troops. There are also.

Zhao Yi hurriedly replied: "Grandpa Zeng, the enemy's position is already in disarray. Taking advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them will have a miraculous effect. The so-called speed is the most important thing in a soldier. Although the Tartars are defeated, the vitality of the army is not damaged. If they stabilize their position and fight back." It will take a lot of trouble to come back."

Eunuch Zeng sneered, and the male duck said contemptuously: "Joke, you have only been promoted from a grassroots man to a small county magistrate today, and you know the art of war. Naturally, what our family says makes sense. Our family is nine thousand Sui and the supervising army handpicked by the emperor, how can you allow a villain like you to teach me the art of war?"

I saw Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zeng, what this young man said is not unreasonable, so let's pass on the order and order the army to quickly enter the city to garrison, and only send three thousand cavalry to chase the enemy. Look, Mr. Zeng." How are you?"

At this time, Zhao Yi knew that Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to fall out with this dead eunuch. After all, Eunuch Zeng was the hand-picked supervising army, so he changed his way to support him. His heart was touched, and he cupped his hands: "The next official is willing to pursue with the iron cavalry. enemy."

"Okay, I ordered you to pursue the enemy with the iron cavalry, and go quickly." Lu Xiangsheng replied, stroking his beard in satisfaction. "

Seeing that Eunuch Zeng's face changed several times in an instant, he threw his sleeves angrily and said, "You... you, our family will definitely report this matter to the imperial court. It has nothing to do with our family." After speaking, he turned around, Never look at Lu Xiangsheng and Zhao Yi again.

Zhao Yi quickly led the horse, waved at Yaoyao, picked up his saber, jumped on the horse, and rushed out of the city with the cavalry.

After leaving the city, Zhao Yi galloped on his horse, and the Tatar routs who were standing in front of him were dealt with directly with a single blow. Immediately, he rushed forward and kept urging the horses. A group of cavalry were left behind by him, and the Da Ming cavalry behind him held the firecrackers on the horse. volley.

Sometimes having too many people is not necessarily a good thing. The tens of thousands of Tartar troops had already lost all morale because of the arrival of the Ming army. Countless people were trampled to death.

Zhao Yi sped up his horse and galloped for another distance without hesitating his horsepower. He turned around a small mound, and finally saw the Tartars' rear team, all of them were in a state of embarrassment like bereaved dogs.

Zhao Yi was overjoyed, and waved his arms: "Brothers, kill the Tartars!" He rushed over first, and the Ming cavalry behind him also forgot the hard work of the journey, cheered up, and rushed over like a group of tigers descending the mountain, completely not paying attention A faint killing intent radiated nearby.

The Tazi soldiers were terrified when they saw the arrival of the Ming army's iron cavalry, and they fled. The Ming army's iron cavalry was even more proud. A rain of arrows overturned the Ming army, and Zhao Yi was startled: "No, there is an ambush!"

Now it is too late to find out that a group of cavalrymen came out of the originally loose ranks of the Tartars. If you look carefully, these people are the bodyguards who guarded the white-robed general just now. I was so embarrassed before, and now I can finally wash away the shame.They gave full play to the excellent skills of riding and archery, and when the arrows hit, dozens of people in the Ming army were hit by arrows and fell off their horses in an instant.

Zhao Yi held a long knife and fought to the death, but he completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of these guards. These troops were the warriors with white flags selected by the Tartars. Seeing that the soldiers around him were fighting less and less, Zhao Yi panicked , the sword in his hand was slashing and killing like a snake, and he chopped down four or five Tartars. Zhao Yi's side is also an elite soldier. Broken limbs flew all over the sky, and helpless horses fled in all directions.

This army at the back of the palace is the elite soldiers of the Xiangbai Banner, and it is also the guard of Duduo, the owner of the Banner of the Xiangbai Banner. Duduo, who had just recovered from the explosion, saw his troops in chaos. Knowing that the commander of Ming Dynasty would not miss this opportunity to annihilate him in one fell swoop, he specially arranged for his most elite guards to ambush the Ming army.

If this battle is successful, there is even a possibility of reversing the situation. Even if it is unsuccessful, it can intercept the Ming army and ensure the smooth withdrawal of follow-up troops.

At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark. While retreating with the defeated brigade, Doduo, the banner owner of the inlaid white flag, waited anxiously for the return of the scouting horses, when he saw a group of hundreds of cavalry in armor inlaid with the white flag galloping. come over.

I saw that the armor of this team of cavalry was covered with dust and blood, and it seemed that they had experienced a great battle. The leader of the team, a young man, had blood and dust on his face, and he could no longer see his original appearance clearly.

When he was still a hundred steps away from Duoduo, a soldier next to Duoduo glanced at the young man, and suddenly shouted: "Be careful, defend yourself quickly, this man is a Han Chinese."

When he yelled, the other guards immediately reacted and urged their horses to kill them. These people were all martial arts masters, and they were Jianghu people specially invited by Duoduo to protect him.

It turned out that these people were precisely Zhao Yi and the others who were ambushed. They fought hard with the warriors inlaid with the white flag at the back of the palace and beheaded the guards who blocked them. Later, in order to chase the Tartar commander faster, they quickly changed into the warriors inlaid with the white flag. A came after him.

Immediately, the two sides fought together, and the successive defeats had already knocked down the morale of the Tartar army. Several Tartars hurriedly begged: "My lord, go quickly, we are the rear."

"If my king doesn't leave, how can I abandon my sons from Manchuria?" Duoduo didn't want to face the reality of failure. While hesitating, the masters he invited had already been knocked off their horses by the firecrackers, and the army had been dispersed by the cavalry of the Ming army.

"Withdrawal" uttered a word with difficulty, and then spit out a mouthful of blood. His originally young face instantly aged a lot. Seeing the prince vomiting blood, several Tartar soldiers immediately rushed up to protect Duoduo and fled.The sound of killing gradually faded away, Duoduo shed unwilling tears on the bumpy horseback, how many Manchurian warriors died at the hands of the Han people, and the problem of food was not solved, how could he explain himself to the emperor, is it possible that the sky is going to destroy the Qing Dynasty? ?
At this time, as if to match Dodo's mood at this time, light rain began to fall from the sky, and several knights guarded Dodo and ran wildly in a panic. The horseshoe prints chased after them.

The jolt of the horse’s back and the blood he vomited just now made Duduo’s chest full of energy and blood, and a smell of sweetness came out of his throat. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and dark red blood flowed out from the gap between his fingers. The army was defeated The blow seems to have emptied this strong man's body, can he still survive?

Holding the reins weakly with both hands, he couldn't open his eyes slowly, and his young face showed a trace of twilight, without the majesty of going south and north.

Duoduo was in a trance when he heard a shout from behind: "Don't go, Tartar." No!He was a Han, Doduo felt anxious and felt unwell, his eyes darkened and he passed out!
When the defeated Tartar soldiers chased after them, they only saw the corpses of a few companions on the ground, and there was also the figure of the prince.
