According to the pre-war arrangement, Deng Ming was responsible for commanding the troops to lure the enemy, which was neither difficult nor safe to command, and the tactical actions of attack and defense needed to judge the situation and seize the opportunity, and everyone would be able to scatter money when they escaped, and there was nothing that required the commander to exert his talents; After everyone began to flee, Deng Ming ran with him, with treasures scattered all over the ground behind him, and a large number of infantry running slower than him, and there was no danger.

When handing over this task to Deng Ming, He Zhen also talked about the arduousness of the task and its significance to victory or defeat. Although He Zhen thought he was speaking well, he didn't know that Deng Ming was actually from another parallel world in the 21st century, and the breadth of knowledge of people in the era of information explosion was unimaginable to the ancients. Deng Ming knows clichés and empty words very well, and has extremely high immunity. In Deng Ming's opinion, He Zhen's cliché is at most at the level of the squadron committee in the second and third grades of primary school. Deng Ming knew very well that He Zhen entrusted himself with this kind of task, and He Zhen believed that his safety could not be compromised.

According to He Zhen's plan, Deng Ming only needs to retreat for a while, and then he can watch him show his might and kill the Qing army that has fallen into chaos.

However, it is clear that the current development of the situation is very inconsistent with what He Zhen described beforehand. Deng Ming withdrew with the guards, and then went around and returned to the side of the opposing two armies, and saw that the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were fighting fiercely, and there was no scene of chasing ducks as He Zhen predicted.

"It doesn't seem to be as smooth as General He said." Deng Ming and his guards stood on a high place and looked at the battle situation in the distance.

The fierce fighting between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties had just broken out, and it seemed that the Ming army still had to take the initiative. After all, even if He Zhen's plan was not completely successful, it attracted half of the Qing army's armor soldiers to a position away from the battlefield. At present, the Ming army is attacking half of the armored soldiers of the Qing army with all the main forces, although it is the more effective half of the Qing army, but after all, it is more to bully less.

"General He's soldiers are mostly new recruits, and we have won consecutive battles since we sent out our troops, and they have a momentum, but their endurance may not be stronger than that of Tartar." Seeing that the battle was progressing slowly, Zhou Kaihuang also seemed a little anxious. On the whole, although the Qing army was slowly retreating, the battle line remained very intact, and there was no sign of breaking, and it seemed that it would not be able to tell the winner for a while.

Now, to the north of the Ming and Qing armies, the first Qing troops to attack were still in a state of confusion, with soldiers and auxiliaries mixed together, only caring about picking up property on the ground. However, if the Ming army could not defeat the Qing army quickly, those Qing troops who were temporarily out of control would sooner or later recover from the chaos, and then they would rush back to the battlefield to support Li Shixun.

In fact, some Qing troops had already begun similar actions, and some Qing army officers closest to the battlefield were trying their best to gather their troops, beating and scolding those who did not obey the command.

Just now the Ming army turned around and fled, these Qing soldiers all thought that the battle was in sight, and the Ming army that fled far away could not form any threat, and the Qing soldiers could search for the silver that fell in the soil without worry; But the fierce battle behind them also stimulated these Qing soldiers to a certain extent, letting them know that the war was not over but still going on, and that they could not justifiably claim to be victors now.

However, the sound of the drums sounded far away, and the copper coins and silver were close at hand, and most of the soldiers still wanted to pick up a few coins before leaving, and it would be better if they could find a dime.

……

"Sir......" Now the guards are still accustomed to calling Deng Ming as Mr. instead of Admiral, and Deng Ming is not particular about his address, so he has never corrected it. Zhao Tianba had been observing the enemy's situation just now, and while he was thinking about it, he asked Deng Ming to ask for battle, so he used his old name again.

The position where Zhao Tianba is now standing is located on the side of the battlefield, and he can see some of the situation behind the Qing army more clearly, Zhao Tianba pointed to the Qing army and said to Deng Ming: "There are not many people next to the general flag of the Tartars. ”

He Zhen's offensive was fierce, and the Ming army was numerous, and Li Shixun did not hesitate to put all the troops that could still control zhì into battle. In order to ensure safety, Li Shixun also placed his own personal barracks in the middle of the battle line to ensure that his side would not be quickly defeated by the Ming army, and to buy time for those stupid colleagues in the north to gather their troops.

When he saw the Ming army's troops fleeing just now, Li Shixun judged that there were no troops with strong combat effectiveness, which not only had past experience, but also had military reasoning. The so-called long-term illness became a doctor, and after many times of luring the enemy, Li Shixun can also be called an expert in the strategy of luring the enemy: the Ming army's use of combat effectiveness troops to lure the enemy is first of all a waste of troops, and this kind of thing can be done by auxiliary soldiers, and there is no need to use jīng soldiers to carry it out; Secondly, because the enemy in front of them was far away, the Qing soldiers were relieved to boldly start picking up things, and if the Ming army attacked reflexively, these people would still pick up swords and guns to resist - so the flanking tactics adopted by He Zhen and Hao Shaoqi before were extremely efficient, and it was imperative to drive away the enemy's main generals and defeat the last few still organized enemy soldiers.

Deng Ming turned his head sideways and looked at Zhao Tianba: "What does Zhao Qianhu mean?" ”

"This thief can be attacked!" Zhao Tianba immediately responded.

The armor styles of the Ming army and the Qing army were similar, because they were originally captured and used by each other, and the main difference was in the military uniforms, scarves and other additional markings. For example, there were guards behind Deng Ming holding a red flag, and everyone in the Ming army wore a red scarf around their necks and a red cloth on their arms.

Some Ming troops may have made further modifications to their armor in order to achieve a more recognizable friend or foe effect on the battlefield, but Deng Ming and others had no intention of doing so. Deng Ming and his guards could sneak into the Qing army's territory at any time, and for convenience, they didn't even cut their braids, that is, they just spread them out, and of course they didn't do anything on their armor to make any Ming army logos. Originally, the iron armor that Deng Ming got in Kunming was given to Zhao Tianba after the Battle of Yunyang, and now he uses the body of the captured Hanyang General Army, and the quality is also very good. Mu Tan put on the guerrilla armor of the pro-military camp - these two pieces of armor also did not have any Ming army logo, as long as the upper red scarf around his neck was removed, it was no different from the armor of the other Qing army.

Zhao Tianba recounted his plan to Deng Ming in a rapid voice: take off the Ming army logo on his body, and then pass guò from the chaotic army north of the Qing army: "...... These thieves are collecting the belongings on the ground, and if our army turns around and kills, they will take up arms to resist in order to save their lives. But if only a group of unidentified cavalry passed by them, they might not react, and as long as they didn't attack them, they would probably continue to rummage through the silver taels, and most of them might not even raise their eyelids to look at them......"

Passing through the Qing army in the north, suddenly attacking from behind the Qing army that was fighting, Zhao Tianba thought that he could achieve a good surprise attack effect, and he asked Deng Ming for battle: "I am willing to take ...... rate."

Deng Ming didn't listen to Zhao Tianba's words, so he nodded heavily: "That's right, the opportunity is rare, attack quickly." ”

After interrupting Zhao Tianba's self-recommendation, Deng Ming turned around and instructed the standard-bearer to put away the flag, and the guards all took off the red scarves on their bodies and put them in their arms.

At this time, in addition to his guards on Deng Ming's side, there were more than ten horsemen such as He Zhen's eldest son He Daoning, and like Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi, He Zhen also hoped that his son could inherit his army and status. During this expedition, He Zhen brought his eldest son to the army, not only to cultivate his son's military talents, but also to create a chance for him to make friends with Deng Ming, who was of a similar age. Of course, Deng Ming understood He Zhen's thoughts very well, and he was also very polite to He Daoning and General He.

In this battle, He Zhen personally went to the front line and commanded the main force to attack Li Shixun's headquarters, but he was unwilling to let his son take the risk with him, so he let him stay by Deng Ming's side and be responsible for commanding the defeated army together - in He Zhen's opinion, He Daoning only needed to stay in the safe rear and watch him defeat the enemy soldiers.

Of course, Deng Ming will not have any objections to He Zhen's arrangement, he understands the other party's love for his son very well. And as far as he knows, General He Xiao has no experience in war, in the past, for the safety of his son, He Zhen has never let him stay away from the safe base area, and has never gone deep into the enemy territory on the battlefield, this time if it is not because of Deng Ming, it is estimated that He Zhen will still not take his son out of Daning.

After hearing Deng Ming's order, his guards took off the sign without saying a word. Although He Daoning knew that this move was dangerous, although he was worried about damaging his henchmen, he was unwilling to appear stingy in front of Deng Ming, so he muttered that he planned to let four or five family members take down the logo and attack with the brave Zhao Qianhu.

He Daoning was followed by his cronies, and he was also a young man in the Daning army, because He Daoning had never been on the battlefield, and the previous work of these family members was to serve as bodyguards for General He Xiao in Daning, accompanying He Daoning to hunt and travel, and this battle was also the first time in their lives for many of them.

Therefore, when these family members saw the inquiring eyes of the young master, they all hurriedly lowered their heads, not only did they not intend to ask for war, but everyone beat the drum in their hearts, lest General He Xiao call his name.

Many of these family members grew up with He Daoning since childhood, although they are nominally master and servants, but in fact they are all friends of General He Xiao, He Daoning saw that his partners were all afraid of sè, and they all hung their heads silently, and they were also hesitant in their hearts, and they couldn't bear to force these guards who were worried about sè to take risks to attack.

When He Daoning was hesitating, Deng Ming had already untied the red scarf around his neck, took off the helmet and took off the red tassel on it, and then removed the red cloth strips on his chest and arm armor. Zhao Tianba looked at Deng Ming's actions, his lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't spit out the words of dissuasion, but lowered his head and began to remove his Ming army identity.

He Daoning's gaze turned around the family next to him, and he still hadn't made up his mind about who to send to fight, and his companions either tried their best to avoid his gaze, or showed a fearful begging pity. He Daoning felt that these subordinates might not be able to help the brave Zhao Qianhu in any favor, he sighed in his heart, and planned to open his mouth to let Deng Ming order someone himself-it was inappropriate not to send someone, but he couldn't bear to push those war-feared partners into the fire pit, so he had to push this decision to the other party.

But He Daoning's words couldn't be spoken, and when he turned around, he saw that Deng Ming had taken off all the marks on his body, and He Daoning couldn't help but be shocked. Although Zhao Tianba's words were not finished just now, He Daoning still heard the meaning very clearly when he asked himself, it was that Zhao Qianhu Mao who recommended himself to attack the enemy army, instead of building a Deng Ming to go to the danger in person: "Admiral, what do you want?" ”

"The heavy responsibility of commanding the front army will be handed over to General He Xiao." Deng Ming put the helmet back on, tied it tightly, and smiled at He Daoning.

After saying this, Deng Ming looked back at his guards and shouted softly: "Gentlemen, follow me to fight the thief!" ”

After finishing speaking, Deng Ming grabbed the horse's belly and rushed down the high hill like an arrow.

"Yes!" Deng Ming's guards shouted loudly, rushed out one after another, and followed Deng Ming's back.

Kunming's eighteen horsemen, plus Zhao Tianba and Mu Tan, a total of twenty Ming horses, were far away from He Daoning in the blink of an eye. Deng Ming and the others made a big circle and approached the front army of the Qing army in a roundabout way. When Deng Ming and others approached, some Qing soldiers noticed this cavalry, but this cavalry had neither the Ming army nor the Qing army's obvious mark, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

When Deng Ming approached the periphery of the Qing army, he felt that many Qing soldiers were looking at him with great vigour, and there were countless fierce eyes looking up and down his body. At this time, Deng Ming was still holding the reins with both hands, and did not show any hostility or combat posture, he further slowed down his horse, continued to zigzag in front of the Qing army, and gradually stepped into it.

When Deng Mingce rode past the Qing soldiers, there were a lot of shouts and questions in his ears, just now he never looked at those hostile eyes thrown at him, and now he also turned a deaf ear to these shouting questions. Deng Ming continued to ride his horse intently, and did not touch his weapon because he was already in the enemy group.

Several questions for identity came from all directions, and after no response was made, Deng Ming also heard someone give an order to stop him, to which he only sped up a little, and quickly left before the Qing soldiers could react. Some of the Qing soldiers raised their heads when they heard the order, but the cavalry had already galloped past them in the blink of an eye, and they did not know who the officers were going to take, and many more soldiers did not even raise their heads - now the battlefield was full of such chaotic orders, most of which were not issued by their direct commanders, and it was better to continue to look for the money in the soil than to deal with these endless orders.

Leaving behind those voices that threatened him to stop, although there were more and more Qing soldiers around him, there were even fewer people interested in observing him than just now. The officers here were busy gathering the soldiers, and everywhere there were shouts and even whippings.

Finding a way through the enemy army in the east and west of the regiment, twenty Ming cavalry passed through the battlefield scattered with a large number of Qing troops, and the number of enemy soldiers in front of them began to decrease significantly, and soon a large open area reappeared in front of them.

"Phew—"

Deng Ming ordered the war horse, and the battle formation of the Qing army was in the left-hand direction in front of him, and some of the reorganized Qing soldiers were walking in that direction from behind, preparing to join the war group; In Deng Ming's current position, it can already be seen where Li Shixun's general flag is, and it seems that there is indeed no strict protection.

"There are thousands of Tartars in the back, and the front is too," Deng Ming smiled at the guards around him, "If we don't kill Li Shixun, we won't have to leave." ”

"Then kill him," Zhou Kai said with a ridiculous smile: "If we don't kill them, we won't leave." ”

While talking and laughing, the Ming army took out the logo hidden in his arms and retied it to his armor. Just now, when the flag-bearer crossed the Qing army's position, he only carried a flagpole, and the standard-bearer restored the Ming army logo on his body, and then wanted to tie the red flag to the flagpole, and next to the standard-bearer was Wu Baoping, who was helping the former.

"What are you doing?"

A Qing army general who had just sorted out the team and was about to go to war passed by them, and after seeing the outfits of Deng Ming and others, this general manager stopped and asked in confusion.

As soon as the question was spoken, Mr. Qian noticed the style of the armor on Deng Ming's body, although there was no logo of the Qing army, and he did not know what position this person occupied, but Mr. Qian could be sure that the other party was a high-ranking general.

"My lord, humble ......" Since he couldn't find more information from the armor, Qian Zong was used to looking at the other party's flag and looking at the other party's flag specifications. Although the flagpole has not yet been erected, it is at least two zhang, which means that the other party is at least a commander-in-chief.

But...... There was also no identification on the flagpole of this general soldier, and the flag bearer was busy tying a red flag to the flagpole with the cooperation of other cavalrymen! The cavalryman who was busy tying the flag smiled at him when he saw Mr. Qian's puzzled eyes.

And...... Mr. Qian returned his gaze to Deng Ming's face: Such a young person, does he have twenty? Less than twenty in total? Who is it? Countless mysteries have come along.

At this time, Deng Ming had completed all the preparations, and he waved his hand to the general of the Qing army, signaling the other party to get out of the way from his horse: "I'm going to report to Li Dashuai." ”

Although Mr. Qian still had countless questions, he still quickly flashed to the side, watching Deng Ming start to speed up and gallop past him.

The cavalryman who helped the standard-bearer just now has been staring at this Qing army President after finishing the work at hand, and every time the two meet their eyes, they will send a smile, and his smile and gaze give this President Qian a very gentle feeling.

This cavalryman followed Deng Ming from Mr. Qian's side, and when he passed by, he smiled at Mr. Qian, and said to him: "You kid is lucky!" ”

"Go report to the marshal?" Mr. Qian and dozens of subordinates behind him stood dumbfounded, looking at the backs of these cavalrymen, still recalling the words of the leading knight, as well as the strange language of the other cavalry: "How am I lucky?" ”

Then this Qian Zong saw that the two-zhang red flag was being held vertically and fluttering in the wind, and those cavalrymen with their backs to themselves pulled out their weapons almost at the same moment when they galloped towards Li Shixun's flag, showing a snow-bright sword and many cold light spear blades!
