PS: The tyrant is full-time, and all kinds of officials try to see the genuine version? Starve the tyrant and no one will write it... Also, don't raise the fattening bigwigs, the books are fattened, but the tyrants are starving to death...... If you must raise, please turn on automatic subscription?
Zhang Zhiji, Li Xin and others, who were not too far away, naturally heard the words shouted by the general banner of the brocade guard.
Although Zhang Zhiji knew what this guy was going to shout early on, and he didn't think it was very reliable, but after all, it was the emperor's order, and he had to let him go.
And Li Xin, who didn't know the inside story, arched his hand to Zhang Zhiji and said: "First mess up his heart, and then attack his formation, Hou Ye is good at planning." ”
When Zhang Zhiji heard this, he glanced at Li Xin and said lightly: "If you have something to say, let it go." ”
Li Xin's mind was exposed by Zhang Zhiji, and he was not embarrassed, but just said curtly: "I don't know if these words are really Your Majesty's will or the meaning of the Hou Ye?"
If it is really His Majesty's will, it is nothing. If it is Hou Ye's own will, if it is passed out, I am afraid that there will be few people who will participate in Hou Ye's edict, and how will Hou Ye deal with himself at that time? ”
Zhang Zhiji glanced at Li Xin in surprise.
What he said is actually quite a bit shallow and profound.
Li Xin is right, if these words were really shouted by Zhang Zhiji himself, then the charge of exceedance would not be able to escape.
What is the crime of exaltation?
From the time of the strong man, how many generals have fallen because of the crime of overbearing? As for the true and false edicts, who can say clearly?
Even if it is put in the Ming Dynasty, it is still a fatal crime to fake the holy decree, not to mention that Zhang Zhiji is just a small marquis, even if he pulls his father Zhang Weixian, he is afraid that he can't stand it - no matter how much Emperor Chongzhen is kind to the Zhang family, once it comes to the issue of overbearing, there is no second way to go except for the rolling of people.
Now Li Xin directly singled out this problem, and the meaning is very simple: either this matter is the emperor's intention, or it must be guaranteed that this matter will not be spread today - as for how to ensure that it will not be spread, the ruthless will see the ruthless, and the yin will see the yin.
Although Zhang Zhiji was surprised by Li Xin's attitude, it was also inconvenient to brush off his kindness, so he had to say lightly: "This is Your Majesty's order, Benhou is a great courage, and he does not dare to do anything pretentious." ”
When Li Xin heard this, he arched his hand and said: "It's a pity that Your Majesty's love for the people has been ruined." ”
I have to admit that there are always some people who are born with some natural skills.
For example, Wang Lao Liu is like this. If it is about knowledge, let alone those ministers in Beijing, even if Zhang Zhiji is in person, he can laugh at him for not learning and not knowing how to do it - probably this Wang Lao Liu's knowledge is not much stronger than that of Emperor Chongzhen when he first crossed over.
But this guy does have a set of encouraging people's hearts.
From the moment he opened his mouth, this guy even grasped the problem that these rebels were most worried about - liquidation after the fact.
Many people don't know what the crime of rebellion is stipulated in the Daming Law.
But from the three generations to the Ming Dynasty, once counted, except for the successful ones, where did the rest go? Who has ended well?
As for Zhao'an, I have to say that thanks to the Water Margin, even if the flat burden is down, he may not be able to recognize that it is an old farmer who has probably heard of it.
The famous and surnamed heroes are still like this, and who of these people dares to guarantee that they will not be liquidated?
As for what Emperor Chongzhen thought, he only punished the evil and never asked, or simply sent it to the grandson of the Tang Dynasty and let Zhu Yujian have a headache, but it was shattered by a few words from this Wang Lao Liu.
Li Xin just said to Zhang Zhiji that Emperor Chongzhen's love for the people was ruined, and it was precisely from this.
After Wang Laoliu finished speaking, the rebels who originally wanted to surrender to Zhao'an, at this time, their hearts were poured down like a bucket of cold water on dog days, and they only felt that they were cold from the outside of their bodies to their hearts, lest they would end up like a hero in Liangshan.
Seeing the extremely complicated expressions of these rebels from a distance through the clairvoyant mirror, from longing to doubt to relief, and then seeing that they had already loosened, but they began to clench their hands with knives and guns, Zhang Zhiji also sighed helplessly: "That's it, get ready!" ”
Just after instructing the army to prepare, Zhang Zhiji said again: "After a while, I sent someone to pay attention to the person who shouted, be sure to capture him alive, and Benhou will take him to light the sky lantern!" ”
Listening to the endless coldness in Zhang Zhiji's words, it was Zhang Ziming, who had been following Zhang Zhiji's side, who also shuddered, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, Master Hou, you can't run away from him!" ”
At this time, the general banner of Jinyi Wei in front of the battle also looked at Wang Mingyu coldly, and said coldly: "Your Majesty Chrysostom said that if you say that you will pardon the sins of Er, you will definitely forgive the sins of Er, and this general banner is willing to take the head guarantee of the item, except for the leaders at all levels, the rest are sent to the Tang Dynasty under the command of the grandson of the prince and go overseas."
And now that thou hast stirred up so many to die for thy own selfishness, has thy conscience been eaten by dogs? Have all the sage books been read in the dog's belly? ”
When Wang Mingyu heard this, he laughed loudly and shouted: "Is there less of a dog emperor's rebellion?" If it is not enough to say that it is not enough, rebellion has always been a great crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan, would he be so kind?
Besides, what are you a Jinyi Wei General Banner? Guarantee your emperor? Who believes? ”
Hearing Wang Mingyu's words, Jinyi Wei Zongqi didn't say much, just glanced at Wang Mingyu coldly, then turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction where Zhang Zhiji was.
Zhang Zhiji saw that the Jinyi Wei Zongqi came back, and said with a cold face: "It's useless to say more, it's better to see the real chapter under the sword and gun." ”
The general banner of Jinyi Wei arched his hand towards Zhang Zhiji, and said with a gloomy face: "Naturally, the Hou Ye is in charge, and the matter here will naturally be reported truthfully." ”
Zhang Zhiji was also helpless, the emperor's kindness could be regarded as feeding the dog, and he had to order: "Beat the drum!" ”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three orders were drummed, and the hosts moved with the sounds.
As the drums of the attack sounded, Zhang Zhiji urged the horses under his crotch to the five thousand Beijing cavalry behind him, and began to trot in the direction where the rebels were located to warm up.
After the speed of the horses increased a little, the five thousand cavalry were divided into three groups.
A group of 2,000 cavalry formed an arrow formation and faced the rebels in front, while the other 3,000 cavalry divided into two groups and flanked the left and right flanks.
As soon as Wang Mingyu saw that the army of the imperial court began to divide his troops, his face darkened.
If a large army rushes directly over, there are only a few thousand horsemen on the opposite side anyway, and the nearly 10,000 infantry behind him who are prepared, it is really difficult to say whether the victory or defeat will be said.
It's just that once the cavalry on both wings outflanked and formed a situation of encircling three and one, I am afraid that there will be only a few left?
It's useless to think about it, Wang Mingyu himself has read a few books, as for the dragon slaying technique of the book of war, his knowledge is limited, if it is said that it is thirty-six strategies, he has seen it, and as for the actual use, he can only take it right.
However, Wang Mingyu is also a dead brain, so he recognized a truth, let you come from all directions, I will only go all the way.
Lao Tzu doesn't have as many soldiers as you, let alone cavalry, and he doesn't have your elite, but isn't this thing similar to a street fight on weekdays? The comparison is who is more ruthless and who is not afraid of death, Lao Tzu will hold in one direction and beat hard, I don't believe that you will not collapse.
Wang Mingyu whispered to Wang Er: "Big brother ordered, let's rush towards the position where the dog official is, and only recognize him to fight." ”
As he spoke, he also pointed in the direction where Zhang Zhiji was.
Just hesitated for a moment, Wang Mingyu still whispered again: "If you can't hold it at that time, our brothers will run together on the horse." Where there is life, there is hope. ”
Wang Er snorted, and made up his mind in his heart, turned around and shouted, "Attack!" ”
Otherwise, how can it be said that amateurs are amateurs. The confrontation between the two armies can be regarded as a street fight, and only these rebels who have just raised their troops can do it.
Especially on the side of the infantry against the side of the cavalry, instead of shrinking on the defense, but thinking about attacking, it is like using an infantry cluster to attack a tank cluster, isn't it just a lantern in the toilet - looking for?
Zhang Zhiji looked at the rebels who began to move in his direction from a distance, but he was very happy in his heart, and said to Li Xin beside him with a smile: "Ben Hou also said that this Wang and the second brother have any ability, it turns out that it is nothing more than that."
There is no foot armor, no strong bow and crossbow, and you still want to attack Benhou's army? ”
Li Xin also smiled bitterly. Who would have thought that such amateur guys would be able to hit the white water first and then beat Pucheng? The county orders of these two counties and the hundreds of households in the hundreds of households are all-eaters? Why did the imperial court raise such a bunch of waste?
It's just that Zhang Zhiji soon couldn't laugh.
The two wings of the rebels were swept by the cavalry of the Beijing camp, although there were many casualties, but they had not collapsed, even if they met the arrow formation of the Beijing camp head-on, it did not collapse - if Emperor Chongzhen was here, I was afraid that it would be unscientific to shout!
But there is nothing unscientific.
In the case of a glimmer of life, these rebels in order to survive, but they burst out with infinite potential, and directly resisted the slashing of the cavalry, and even some did not want to die, and they were injured and desperately held the horse's legs of the cavalry, which made the Beijing camp have some casualties for a while, so that Zhang Zhiji's idea of defeating the rebels with zero casualties went bankrupt directly.
When the two sides of the Beijing camp and the rebels were fighting together, the initial impact bonus of the cavalry disappeared, and many Beijing soldiers even had to dismount and fight the rebels on foot.
Time passed little by little, and I saw that the sun was going westward.
At this time, the rebels finally began to crumble.
A group of peasants who had just put down their hoes, at the very beginning, relied on a bloody courage to withstand the attack of the Beijing camp, and even Zhang Zhiji was shaken.
However, amateurs are always amateurs, and if the casualties are smaller, or if they are fighting with the wind, these people can even teach the Beijing battalion how to behave, but when the casualties begin to be larger, the army of these peasants will inevitably begin to break up.
Seeing that the plan to attack in the direction of Zhang Zhiji had been broken and the casualties had begun to increase again, Wang Er ignored Wang Mingyu's statement that he had advised him to run first, and began to think about leading the army to retreat in the direction of Pucheng.
Wang Mingyu was also helpless.
The original situation of capturing the thief and capturing the king first did not happen, let alone rushing directly to the Chinese army where Zhang Zhiji was, but he did not even carry the first wave of attacks of the imperial army.
secretly scolded that these wastes were useless, but Wang Mingyu still persuaded Wang Er in a low voice: "Brother, if you don't leave, it's too late!" ”
Wang Er smiled bitterly and said to Wang Mingyu: "Run? Where to run? The world is so big, is there a place for you and my brothers? ”
Wang Mingyu said unrelentingly: "It's better for us to go north first, it's a big deal to defect to Gao Yingxiang and them." ”
Wang Er said: "If we take the army to defect, Gao Yingxiang will naturally welcome them, if we are chased and killed by the imperial army, will Gao Yingxiang welcome us?" It's good not to hate us, and bring the imperial army over! ”
Seeing that Wang Mingyu still wanted to persuade him again, Wang Er interrupted him and continued: "Besides, who of us thought of this situation in advance?" This imperial army can let others go, and it can let you and my brother go? ”
After a pause, Wang Er continued: "Brother, run by yourself." Brother can stop for you for as long as you can, you are more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than my brother and me, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will avenge your brother. ”
Listening to Wang Er's words, Wang Mingyu, who was still thinking about how to make Wang Er die suddenly, couldn't help but be a little moved, his heart was hot, and he was about to say that if he didn't leave, he would die here with his brother, but the words came to his mouth, swallowed back, and just said: "Who does my brother think my brother is?" According to my brother, let's retreat to Pucheng first. ”
If Wang Mingyu had chosen to defend in formation from the beginning, he would not have collapsed so quickly. Even if the cavalry of the Beijing camp can't beat Zhang Zhiji, if they choose to hold on to the spot and not retreat, they can hold on for a little longer.
It's just that Wang Er and Wang Mingyu's plan to retreat to Pucheng finally sounded the final death knell for this peasant army.
An infantryman, chased by the cavalry, is naturally not pleased. Wang Er, Wang Mingyu and others were secretly complaining in their hearts, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves from the direction of Pucheng.
It was only a blink of an eye, and a bright banner that was raised high showed its way in the field of vision.
Because of the galloping wind brought by the galloping of the horses, the banner was blown to the hunt.
The first person was the one who did not care about the war horse under the crotch, holding the saber in his right hand and the reins of the horse in his left hand, slamming his legs into the belly of the horse, and making calls from time to time in his mouth, but he urged the war horse to speed up and run.
Just as soon as he saw the person's dress, Wang Er smiled bitterly and said to Wang Mingyu: "Brother, you hurry up and run away, and avenge your brother in the future." ”
Wang Mingyu was also panicked in his heart.
His mother! I'm just a little thief, why did I recruit this great god from Beijing?
The person who came was dressed in a lion swallowing gold chain mail, wearing a purple and gold crown, with a beautiful demeanor, slender and fair-skinned, and then looked at the palace people dressed as a few eunuchs who followed next to him, this is obviously the emperor's personal conquest!
