Chapter 846: One Man Retreats 100,000 Troops
The army marched forward mechanically and silently, barely speaking except for the metal sound of knives and guns clashing and dense footsteps. Perhaps because of the "surveillance" of the Tartars to fight their own people, no one has ever experienced such a battle, including Wang Pu, the general army is at a loss, there is no pre-battle mobilization, there is no order from the officer, it seems that only by moving forward will there be no risk of "resisting the order".
The opponent has entered the best range of field artillery, and as it continues to approach, the artillery battalion's firing preparations have also been completed, and the soldiers of each artillery battalion look at the battalion commander, the battalion commander looks at Wei Lianheng and other regimental commanders, and Wei Lianheng and Huang Hansheng look at the direction of the Chinese army where Xia Nan is located. Everyone is waiting for an order - fire!
Xia Nan did not give the order for a long time, he knew that once the artillery was fired, a large number of casualties were caused, even if the troops on the opposite side did not want to fight to the death with him, after killing the red eye, the situation would be uncontrollable. Even if the Qiong navy wins a crushing victory with one enemy and ten enemies, the Houjin army will definitely take advantage of the fire to loot, and the result will be disastrous, and the Qiong navy with heavy casualties and the border army of 100,000 Qin Wang may be wiped out. Before the mountains and rivers are exhausted, he still wants to try to solve the dilemma in front of him.
He grabbed Zhang Fengyi's shirt and shouted: "Zhang Boqi, open your eyes and see, due to your weakness and incompetence, and Yang Sichang's ill intentions, Qiong Haijun and the 100,000 Qinwang army are about to merge under the noses of the Tartars!" A farce that has never been seen in the past is about to be staged today! ”
Zhang Fengyi reluctantly opened his eyes, and asked in a blur, "What's going on?" ”
Xia Nan pulled him up and aimed it in the direction of the approaching army, "Look at it, your own people are going to fight in front of foreign enemies, and you, the overseer, will also die at the hands of your own troops, and then you will be robbed by the Tartars!" If you continue to be in the mud, take this laughing stock to see Hades, you will bear this stigma after death, and your children and grandchildren will be ashamed of you! ”
When it comes to posthumous affairs and reputation, Zhang Fengyi cheered up some spirits, his eyes finally cleared up, and his speech became organized.
"No, I am still the overseer of this army, I am the secretary of the military department, and I can't die in the hands of the army under my command!"
Xia Nan nodded, "Finally figured it out?" Go, stop this tragedy from happening, save the hundreds of thousands of troops, retain the hope of the Ming to resist the Tartars, and turn the tide, you are the hero of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Several soldiers pushed and pulled Zhang Fengyi onto a horse, and then helped him beside him to prevent him from falling off the horse due to excessive consumption of rhubarb and weak body.
Zhang Fengyi licked his lips in the face of Rulin's knives and guns and the dense crowd, restrained the panic in his heart, and shouted hoarsely: "Everyone, don't go any further, listen to my orders, and go back!" ”
But the sound of his footsteps drowned out his voice, and no one could hear him a few hundred paces away. The Great Army is still advancing.
Xia Nan instructed several soldiers with loud voices to stand in front of Zhang Fengyi, and shouted at the same time: "The superintendent has an order, stop advancing!" ”
Maybe it was because he saw Zhang Fengyi's eye-catching official robe, or maybe it was because the shouting spread to the opposite side, and the officers and soldiers of Datong Town in front of him slowed down first. After a while, Shanxi Town and Xuanfu Town on both sides also slowed down.
Seeing that the opportunity had come, Xia Nan jumped on a war horse, did not bring any weapons, and came to the open space in front of the two armies alone empty-handed, and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the three border towns, the Tartars are behind you, eyeing each other, why should you follow someone's ridiculous instructions and kill each other, so that the relatives are painful and the enemies are happy?" ”
Xia Nan moved too fast, and Yang Youji and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion didn't even react. Seeing that the general was alone in the opponent's attack range, which was very dangerous, Yang Youji and the soldiers were about to rush up to protect, but Xia Nan stretched out his hand and signaled not to approach.
The border army of Shanxi Town is obviously better trained than Datong Town, seeing that the "enemy leader" recklessly appeared in front of his formation, hundreds of elite archers reflexively lined up in a row, pulled out the strong bow in his hand, and the tip of the arrow was aimed at the target, as long as the bowstring was released, Xia Nan would be shot into a hedgehog, and there was no hope of survival.
Just as the archer was about to shoot the sharp arrow in his hand, a figure in heavy armor rode up to his horse and commanded in a low voice: "Stop! ”
The archers looked back and were surprised, "Zhentai? ”
This person is the chief soldier of Shanxi, Hu Dawei, who is known for his bravery, and is also the main force of King Qin this time. He stared at Xia Nan in front of him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to do it, and see what he says?" In fact, from his original intention, he did not want to kill each other with his own people, as long as there was a suitable reason, and there was no need to disobey the "holy decree", he would turn his head and hit the tartars.
At the signal of Hu Dawei, the soldiers and horses of Shanxi Town slowed down, and finally stopped altogether. Xuanfu Town did the same, and also stopped.
Wang Pu looked left and right, and took a sip: "I don't want to offend people, and I'm not stupid!" He also ordered the town of Datong to stop advancing.
So the 100,000 army stopped hundreds of paces away, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Xia Nan and one horse.
Summer South is in danger, but he is not afraid. He calmly shouted: "I, the general army of Qionghai, came across the sea half a month ago and went ashore in Dengzhou. From Shandong to Tianjin, with the Tartar Belle Abatai's Blue Banner army fought two big battles, beheaded thousands of people, wounded countless enemies, if it wasn't for the traitors in the DPRK and China to obstruct me, cut off my grain and grass, block my reinforcements, I can take the head of Abatai in Tianjin! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, and with his own strength he fought with the main force of the Tartars, and he could behead thousands, what a brilliant record!
Hu Dawei nodded again and again, and praised: "If it weren't for the false credit, this record would not be a second person, and no one would be able to match it!" ”
Wang Pu was envious: "These heads can be exchanged for at least 100,000 taels of silver, and knighthood is not a problem......
Xia Nan continued: "...... We are soldiers who defend the homeland and defend the country, and the officialdom may not understand it, and we don't need to understand it, as long as we understand a truth: the swords and guns in our hands are used to kill the enemy and defend the country, not to kill our own people! Now the Tartars are two miles away to see our jokes, and as long as you are willing to get out of the way, I, the Qiong Navy, will take the lead and fight the Tartars to the death! The official finds out the rights and wrongs, let him go, everything will be said after the Tartar is beaten away, and I will be killed or killed afterwards, I am willing to do my best, and I will never cause trouble for you! ”
"Good! That's how it should be! Hu Dawei shouted loudly, "General Soldier Xia, no matter whether you are black or white, just rely on your sentence to fight to the death with the Tartars, no matter how the above convicts, I will not be your enemy until the Tartars retreat." In addition, how can you stay out of the matter by killing the Tartars, count me in, and we will kill the enemy side by side! ”
