Chapter 1 Border Emergency

Daming border wall Ziling. The Ming army guarding the border was very lax, and they didn't take the heavy responsibility of guarding the border seriously at all.

Because there is news that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been informed in the name of Zhang Chun, who was captured in the fourth year of Chongzhen, that the Manchu Qing Dynasty wants to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, since they are all peace, how can there be a war? However, most of the soldiers of the Ming army forgot that soldiers were not tired of cheating.

The lazy soldiers either hid in their houses and sheds to gamble all day long, or found a woman to go outside to join the field, and the military discipline was completely corrupted. How many can really defend with heart?

"Yawn!" A pawn lazily climbed to the top of the inner platform of the beacon tower, he stretched his waist, looked listless, and complained: "Really! I have to get up so early and come up on a routine basis! After all have made peace, how can the Tartars invade? Eventful! It's so bad that I can't sleep well! ”

"Ahhh He yawned again, and couldn't help but slap his mouth back and forth with his hand. He rubbed his sleepy eyes a few more times, "I can't get enough sleep!" "In fact, it's already sunset, and the sun is shining on the buttocks.

"Ahh At this moment, he saw something, and his eyes suddenly widened to a large area of black and oppressive enemy troops outside. The enemy is coming! This thought hit his heart, and he immediately woke up!

"Light the beacon!" When he looked at it again, how could he put wolf dung and dry wood on the table, and the top of the inner platform was empty, not at all! This is usually just about playing horse cranes and leaf plays, but they haven't even done the basic serious things to do, and now that the enemy is attacking, they can't light the beacon fire to notify.

With a "whoosh", the pawn was shot through the throat with an arrow, and then fell to the ground.

Many of the pawns in the beacon tower became ghosts of the Qing army in their sleep. It was easy for the Qing army to cross the defensive line. Although there were also beacon towers that lit beacon fires, it was too late, and most of the Qing troops had already controlled the gate of the fortress.

The wall ridge Gong became a very large castle, the Ming army retreated into the fort, defended by danger, and not far from the castle there was an army led by a guerrilla general, if this army quickly supported, it could turn the tide of the war, but the guerrilla general was not seen to lead his headquarters to help.

The Qing army quickly captured the three camps in front of the fort, but it was still very difficult to attack the fort.

The pawn who was taken by the raid was escorted to Yue Tuo, and the pawn knelt and begged for mercy: "My lord, spare the villain!" ”

Yue Tuo looked at him and asked, "If you want me to spare you, then why can you help me and spare your life?" ”

The pawn's eyes rolled, and he thought of it and said, "Your Excellency can divide your troops and feint!" The front pretended to attack with all his strength, but it was outflanked from the east and west paths of the wall, and the two sides had been lost, and the Ming army in the wall-ridge fort was lonely, so it could only surrender! Most of the defenders on the beacon towers on both sides of the wall are not prepared for war, and they are playing horse hangs and playing leaf play all day long. ”

Yue Tuo immediately decided: "Okay! I'll do what you say right away! Yue Tuo then shouted, "Du Du! "Deputy Marshal Du Du immediately came out of the ranks. Yue Tuo instructed: "After capturing the Qiangziling, I will divide the army to you, and you will break through Heiyu, Gubeikou, Huangyakou, and Malanyu for me." As long as these fortresses fall into the hands of our army, then when Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, arrives, he will not be able to do anything! ”

Du Du said worriedly: "The main general, but there is a Ming army behind the wall ridge!" ”

Yue Tuo smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! It won't be long before this Ming army will be defeated without a fight! As long as we shout loudly and frighten their courage, we will surrender without a fight! ”

As Yue Tuo said, there was an army not far from here, and this army was led by a guerrilla general, and as soon as he heard that the Qing army could not be trapped in front of him, the Qing army had already entered the pass in a big way. And when he heard the sound of the Qing army shouting and charging, he was frightened.

This guerrilla general was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he became a guerrilla general by virtue of his connections. The general asked, "General, did you report to Lord Wu Zhentai quickly?" ”

The guerrilla general knew that Wu Guojun was a greedy person who was afraid of death like him, not to mention that now that Wu Guojun went to congratulate Deng Xizhao on his birthday, he must have been very drunk. According to him, there is wine today and drunk today! As soon as he heard that there was a war, he probably fled first! Resist? Only fools do it!

"Let's go! Give me all the way! It's important to save your life! "He slipped away with his privates first, as fast as he could.

At this time, it spread everywhere in the army: "Wu Guojun, the chief soldier, and the guerrilla generals and other generals have all fled!" All the officials have fled, brothers, let's not be wronged! Run home and take your daughter-in-law! Run back to your father and mother to do your filial piety! ”

This pessimistic escapism suddenly prevailed and dominated the entire Ming army. Dragons have no head, people don't walk without heads, birds don't fly without heads! Without the main general, how could the Ming army resist the enemy?

In this case, the Ming army naturally did not go to recapture the pass, and they all slipped away. If they do retake the pass, they will be able to stop the enemy invasion.

But they were all infantry, and the Qing army had already detected this army, and they immediately set out to slaughter this army, so as to deter the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from daring to resist them.

"Gotcha! Gotcha! "The sound of the horse's hooves rushed over and over, it was like a talisman!" Kill! "It's like a ghost's cry for life.

"Run! The Tartars are coming! The soldiers shouted loudly, they often fled quickly, they only wanted to escape for their lives, but none of them thought that they could turn around and fight the enemy to the death.

The soldiers scattered their weapons all over the ground, and all of a sudden, abandoned military battles and weapons could be seen everywhere. They only cared about running for their lives, wishing that their father and mother had two more legs, and they thought that they were too slow to escape.

Others were still holding weapons, but they were in a panic and forgot to drop them.

Rows of arrows rained down, and they were immediately hit by arrows in the last soldiers, and they fell to the ground one after another.

"Get out of the way!" People who are eager to flee for their lives can't care so much, they actually use weapons to injure their comrades who are blocking the way in front, just so that they can escape for their lives. There is no comradeship in the eyes at all, and some are all for themselves.

The pawns, who were all wounded by the arrows, shouted loudly, hoping that the comrades who were running in front would stop and save them. But who cares for who is running for their lives? I can only pray for many blessings!

However, the Qing soldiers had no sympathy, they saw the people moaning on the ground and begging for help, and deliberately made the horses step on them.

"Porphy! Uhh One of the soldiers who was trampled on the horse spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his hand stretched forward, looking at his comrades in front of him, begging for help, but it was useless, he tilted his head and died.

One of the fugitive pawns heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching! He understood that the Qing soldiers were behind him! As soon as he was nervous, he fell, but at the moment of life and death, under the desire to survive, he hurriedly got up with his hands and feet, and before his body could stand firmly, he wanted to run away.

But in his hurry, he had just run three steps when he fell down again. The enemy cavalry followed suit! The war horse is even more unceremoniously about stepping on him!

When he fell, he cried out, "Don't! Leave me alone! "Even if he keeps shouting, the Qing soldiers will hear it, and he won't have the heart of a bodhisattva! The Manchus, who are martial and respect heroes, will only respect those who resist to the death, and cowards will not be able to get respect, let alone live!

I only heard the soldiers shouting: "Deserters are not qualified to live!" Die! "When the shout falls, the horse's hoofs come down." Yes! With a scream, he was trampled to death.

When the Ming soldiers were in pursuit, they were all like headless flies flying around, just hoping to escape for their lives. But I don't know that the only way to survive is to resist to the end!

The Ming soldiers who were running around were running in a panic, and they didn't understand when they hit the horse's head.

Look at those panicked soldiers who don't know how to resist! They were either running with spears and spears, or with a bird gun or sword in one hand, or with a short spear, and the three souls were running without one soul.

They either run with their heads bowed and bent over, or they run with their heads hunched and half-bowed, or even worse, panting, frightened, and running with their teeth chattering.

"Ahh There are clear soldiers ahead! "An exclamation! They immediately turned around and went in the other direction, but they didn't want to run into the knife edge of the Qing soldiers!

However, the Qing soldiers were activated, and they came after them, and another Qing soldier also came with short guns.

Letting go of his hooves, he swept past the fleeing Ming soldiers, and with a wave of the knife in his hand, the blood of the sad Ming soldiers' bodies gushed out, and then fell in a pool of blood. As soon as the short spear was pulled out and pulled out, another Ming soldier screamed, and a bloody hole opened in his body and fell.

"Hohoo!" The sabers danced, and the Qing soldiers shouted loudly. "Ahh Don't kill me! "The Ming soldiers forgot that they still had weapons in their hands, as long as they resisted a little, there were so many of them, there was no need to be afraid of the Qing soldiers, but they gave up resistance, which is equivalent to giving up their lives and dignity!

The sabers whirred and swayed, and the Ming soldiers dodged one after another, thus making way for the Qing soldiers, who rushed quickly in front of them.

They were on a relatively wide road, and although the Qing soldiers with sabers were the first to stop them, they pounced on them and rushed through in a row, even if someone would be hacked to death, but someone would always be able to escape. Maybe you can also kill the Qing soldiers, so as to ensure that the comrades behind can pass over safely!

However, none of them want to be wronged and be cannon fodder for others, they would rather choose to give up their dignity and life.

Especially when the Qing soldiers shouted: "If you don't want to die, kneel down for me!" Whoever runs I'll kill whom! The Qing soldiers with short guns also shouted: "Yes! Whoever runs will slap him with a dozen blood holes! The Qing soldiers with short guns also squeezed their guns a few times, and used the whistling wind to scare the Ming soldiers.

The threat of the two Qing soldiers was very effective for the Ming soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and forgot that they were soldiers, and they knelt down one after another, or held their heads with their hands, or put their hands together and begged and worshipped: "Uncle, spare us!" Don't kill us! We all surrender! ”
