Chapter 489: Tang Mingmeng Breaks the Fourth Update

This is a full 50 votes plus more

Night was falling, illuminated by the moonlight and the fires that burned everywhere. Chen Dexing's guards cavalry and hundreds of cavalry troops of the party were fighting in a melee. When Li Heng's party cavalry learned the power of the steel-armored cavalry to fight in battle, these Mongolian party cavalry immediately dispersed and switched to the tactics of cavalry and guerrilla fighting. Don't engage the Steelclad Cavalry, just greet them with feathered arrows, and don't shoot the Steelclad on horseback, but their mounts! As soon as the steel-armored soldiers approached, they turned and fled, and then shot after opening the distance, and used all the Mongols' housekeeping skills to the fullest!

However, Chen Dexing also has 200 archers under his command, most of whom are sharpshooters from the Eight Banners, and the horse bow in his hand is the best compound bow, and everyone has a good ability to connect arrows with beads. Although there were only two hundred men, they also shot arrows like a raindown, and the feathered arrows hit the party cavalry who were chasing after them.

In the darkness of the night, there was the sound of bowstrings bouncing, the popping of knights falling from their horses, and the neighing of men and horses.

However, neither side had the strength to rescue or kill the fallen knights, and only allowed them to disappear into the night. Chen Dexing's team is always maneuvering. Because they are all the best steel-armored lancers in this era, no matter how many teams of party cavalry Li Heng divides, they can't block it, and they can only watch Chen Dexing move closer to the brightly lit Yuzhuang.

And behind Li Heng's party cavalry, there were three hundred steel-armored lancers, braving the feather arrows shot by the party cavalry to chase fiercely. But because the war horse under their crotch is only a relatively tall and strong Mongolian horse, not the kind of war horse that has been artificially bred for several generations or even more than ten generations to be used for charging into battle. Therefore, even after running for a long time, they could not catch up with the party soldiers in front of them -- the cause of cultivating high-quality war horses from generation to generation. There must also be a military aristocracy to do it. Farmers don't have enough to do this, they need some strong horses to plough the fields.

As for relying on the bureaucrats of feudal society to raise horses. Just think about the efficiency of the Song Dynasty's herdsmen......

After all, a truly invincible heavy cavalry was a medieval luxury. It's really not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time!

The Ming infantry guarding Yuzhuang also found that their king was in danger at this time, and immediately sent a large group of infantry to meet them outside Zhuangzi.

The division headquarters of the Fourth Division of the Ming Army is in Yuzhuang. This division did not have a very brilliant appearance in today's battle, and the Yuzhuang front line was not the focus of the battle between the two sides. Now the Ming army is pursuing, and only one brigade of the Fourth Division is being released, leaving two brigades to guard the line of Yuzhuang, Xiaolizhuang and Gaojialou.

It is not that the Fourth Division is discriminated against, but that the Fourth Division is not equipped with steel armor, and the elite of the whole division is wearing infantry armor weighing more than 60 pounds. It was really a bit heavy, and even if you got on a horse, you couldn't march fast, and you couldn't catch up with the Mongols at all. Compared with the steel plate armor that weighs less than thirty pounds but has better protection capabilities, the heavy step armor is really a bit incompatible.

However, the task of staying behind is not easy, not only to defend the three Zhuangzi, but also to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded and collect loot. That's right. They were also responsible for collecting the Han Chinese Ding Zhuang and women on the battlefield. It was the Han Ding Zhuang women brought by Kublai Khan, who could no longer take care of them when the Mongols were defeated, but let these people escape.

And these Han people, Ding Zhuang and women, also know where there is a way to live. As soon as the Mongols ran, they all came to the three Zhuangzi where the Ming army was strongholding, and some of the wounded were supported by others. Or carry a stick on your own, or even crawl over it.

Broken arm. Liu Minzhong, who had left a lot of blood and had been lying groggily on the battlefield for most of the day, was now crawling with great difficulty. Of course, it is to climb in the direction of Yuzhuang. Where else could I go? Climb to Bianliang?

Hundreds of miles away! Besides, it is difficult to say whether Chen Dexing's soldiers arrived first or whether he climbed first - if he could climb so much.

As for how to survive after climbing to the Ming army? Liu Minzhong didn't dare to think about it, because he didn't know how he should live. My parents and family have no property, and I don't even know where I lost the right hand that I used to write? And even if the right hand is still there, it doesn't seem to be of much use...... There is no imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty - in fact, it is possible to take a small official examination, but the recruitment of small officials is not to take the Confucianism examination, and the current local government affairs of the Ming Dynasty are three categories: public security, tax collection, and engineering, which have nothing to do with Confucianism - Liu Minzhong, who was originally ambitious, suddenly found that he did not seem to have the ability to make a living!

Didn't he die under the butcher's knife of the Mongols, but he was going to starve to death on the side of the Ming Kingdom?

Thinking of the tragic ending of starving to death in the end, Liu Minzhong suddenly had no strength to climb down.

It's a death anyway! Instead of starving to death in the future, it is better to die on this battlefield now! If you die, you can meet your father, mother, mother, and sister in heaven......

He sighed and closed his eyelids, as if to wait quietly for death to come. I don't know how long it was, but the tranquility of waiting for death was interrupted by a sudden burst of rage.

"Kill the Tartars! Go to Heaven! Kill the Tartars! Heaven's Court......"

This is...... Liu Minzhong opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw in front of him, I don't know how many torches were lit, and they were all dancing hard! In the distance, you can still see a dense crowd of soldiers with spears, and they have lined up a tight phalanx. Who do you want to play against?

The Tartars are coming back? Liu Minzhong thought, unconsciously, the Mongolian uncle has become a tartar!

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard densely and messily. Liu Minzhong turned his head hard and saw hundreds of silver-armored cavalry, dressed in moonlight, galloping over.

The shouts rang out again.

"Long live King Ming! Long live King Ming! Hooray! ”

The person who came was King Ming?

Liu Minzhong's mind conjured up a fierce and vicious ugly face -- Chen Dexing's image in the hearts of the people of the north and south was very bad. After all, what he has done has deviated from the righteous path of China. Establish a cult and be named a knight. Xing science, thin Confucianism. All kinds of piles can be described as retrograde.

Galloping horses. Just stopped where Liu Minzhong was lying, and a few horse legs stepped on the side of his head, but he didn't break his skull.

Liu Minzhong struggled to support the ground with one arm, and turned his body over, wanting to see the fierce god of Ming King Chen Dexing before he died. However, what caught his eye was a large number of knights with exactly the same equipment - Chen Dexing would not learn from Meng Ge, and he would get himself a very eye-catching set of armor, so that people could recognize him at a glance. His armor is ordinary steel armor, although there is a Sun and Moon King Banner to identify himself. But he doesn't always stand under the flag.

So Liu Minzhong had no way to find Chen Dexing from the crowd. At this time, Chen Dexing spoke by himself: "Mother-in-law, who did you say instructed this?" ”

Then a glutinous female voice replied: "King, the slave thinks it's the old queen mother!" ”

Liu Minzhong followed the sound and looked, and saw that only two or three feet away from him, in the dim light of the torch, a giant man was riding on a tall horse, and he was carrying a somewhat exaggerated spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear seemed to have bright red blood stains on it.

This person must be Chen Dexing, the king of Ming...... Sure enough, it doesn't look like a Renjun!

"How so?" Chen Dexing's tone was gloomy. As if very angry.

The female voice said: "The old queen mother is such an impulsive person who dares to fight and fight, she wanted to make a fire merger in Huaidong in Chuzhou and the Southern Dynasty at the beginning, and later instigated the old benefactor (Li Quan) to send troops to take Jiangnan ......"

This woman is naturally Yang Po'er, and she doesn't mean to speak for the nun who destroyed the door.

Chen Dexing was still angry. Said: "King Lone was kind enough to come to Nan's rescue, but she made people kill Lone, which is extremely hateful!" ”

"The king is angry." Yang Po'er reminded, "We are not far from Jinan now......"

"Hmph. She still dares to send soldiers to fight Lone? ”

Yang Po'er smiled bitterly: "According to the old lady's temperament, I'm afraid she will do this." However, King Zhao's temperament is benevolent. I'm afraid not. ”

Chen Dexing snorted coldly: "The heart of defense is indispensable!" Is Yu Bao here? ”

"Brother is here!" Yu Bao had already come out to greet him on horseback with dozens of guards, but he saw Chen Dexing talking to Yang Po'er angrily, and did not come up to greet him.

Chen Dexing waved his hand: "Go and release the signal rocket, order all departments to stop the pursuit and assemble immediately." ”

"Order!" Yu Bao immediately surrendered his hand, and then ordered the chief of staff of the division next to him to release a rocketβ€”a modified version of the kind of rocket that Guo Shoujing used to bombard Chen Dexing. It is infinitely close to the historical Congreve rocket. However, Chen Dexing does not have enough high-quality H medicine, so he can't use it to bombard, but uses it to transmit signals.

"King, do you want to ask the teacher for sin?" Yu Bao asked again at this time.

"Ask a fart ......" Chen Dexing gritted his teeth and scolded: "A nun with Alzheimer's disease!" ”

This crime is really hard to ask right now! What should I do with a nun after I get caught? Chen Dexing's harem has Li Cuixian, Yang Po'er, and Cui Yue'er, all of whom are inextricably related to the old nun. If you want to kill the old nun, Chen Dexing has to clean his harem, and even the son Chen Changan has to be abolished, which is a major event that shakes the country's foundation! And those three women are obviously not all the way to Yang Miaozhen.

Other than that. It's hard to say whether the old nun can be caught or not, and Dongtang is not an enemy that can be defeated at once.

Now, the Mongols have not been driven out of the Central Plains! If the Northern Ming and Eastern Tang Dynasty fought, wouldn't they fall into the hands of Kublai Khan!

"Withdraw!" Chen Dexing snorted, "Go back to Yanjing, let the old nun find a way to deal with Kublai Khan by herself, and the lonely king doesn't care!" ”

This is...... Tang and Ming broke the alliance? Liu Minzhong, who was lying on the ground, was churning in his mind, wondering if the overall situation of the world would change because of this. Suddenly, someone discovered that he had saved his zΓ i.

"There are people on the ground! is alive. ”

"What?"

"It's a common man, and he has a broken arm!"

Chen Dexing's voice rang out: "Take him back to the camp for healing!" ”

'Go back to the camp and heal...... Now you don't have to die! Liu Minzhong let out a long breath, his tense spirit suddenly relaxed, he felt extremely tired, his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep as soon as he closed them. (To be continued......)
