Chapter 911 Temur’s meritorious service in front of the formation
The third-rank military minister of the Qing Dynasty, Zhenghuangqi Niulu Zhangjing Afoni, was frightened for the first time in front of the soldiers of the Huwei camp of the Xuanfu army who were not afraid of death.
There was a burst of random yelling from his mouth, and even the Baya soldiers around him couldn't figure out what he was yelling about!
Afoni was seen turning his horse's head in a panic, and even wanted to ride away to the side. By chance, he ran into Shi Meng, the commander of the left sentry in the middle of the Tiger Guard camp, who was leading the left wing.
This Xuanfu Army soldier, who was born as a blacksmith, was naturally broad-shouldered and round-waisted, with amazing arm strength. Even the weapons he used were custom-made by him.
An enlarged version of a large hammer might look cumbersome in the eyes of others, but when he held it in his hand, it could dance up and down, left and right, as if it were nothing.
Even among the Xuanfu army, which has many fierce generals, there are not many people as strong and powerful as him.
At this moment, Shi Meng rode up and collided with Afoni. It was no wonder that Afoni died here because he was able to escape Lin Fangping, but he met Shi Shashen again.
Shi Meng would not let him go. He just saw him yelling "Evil!". When Afoni was stunned, a square hammer as big as his head hit Afoni's head with a "bang".
superior.
Afoni's head exploded immediately, and the brain matter and blood mixed into a yellow-red patch, splashing around. His helmet made of fine iron flew far away alone, and after landing, it rolled again, and then stopped alone on a horse.
Next to the body of the fallen war horse.
The first-class bodyguard of Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, Ba Ya La Jia La Zhang Jing Yibi Long with a yellow flag, came to convey Huang Taiji's imperial edict to Ta Zhan, asking him to seize several hand cannons of the Ming army no matter what.
At this moment, he was also returning to the place where Huang Taiji was with the others. He galloped in just in time to catch Shi Meng's big hammer and smash Afeni's head.
"ah!"
Ye Bilong looked at the yellow and red splashing everywhere in front of him, especially Afoni's smashed head, and he couldn't help but scream loudly.
It was not until then that Afenini's body, which was slightly short and fat, but extremely strong and strong, suddenly fell down and fell under the horse with a "bang" sound.
Ebilong seemed to be awakened by the sound of Afoni's body falling to the ground. He didn't even scream anymore, turned his horse and ran towards his own cavalry formation on the side.
It's so slippery!
From this point of view, this escape skill is not only unique to the Ming Dynasty's army, it must be human instinct.
Even if they are as fierce and ruthless as the Tatars, once they encounter an opponent who can match them, or even be more ferocious and desperate, they will still be scared to death by the bloody killings in front of them.
You can turn around and run away without even having to learn!
Although this move by Ye Bilong looked harmless to humans and animals, it frightened Shi Meng for a second.
At first, Shi Meng saw a tall and powerful man with a full beard and a long-handled machete, charging towards him on horseback. He looked like a ferocious spirit.
Indeed, he was shocked in his heart, thinking that a ruthless character had come, and he was even a little excited inside. His deep hatred for the Tatars was finally fully vented today.
Shi Meng, formerly known as Shi Zhuzhu and nicknamed Shi Dachui, was originally a serious blacksmith in a village called Ma Fang, twenty miles north of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
He originally had a very good life. Although he was not rich and was even a little poor, he was more stable and happy because he had his parents, wife and children with him.
Who would have thought that when the Tatars invaded the capital in the 11th year of Chongzhen, they raided the northern suburbs of the capital, and Mafang Village became a temporary residence for a group of Tatar soldiers.
Shi Meng's mother, wife, and son who was under two years old all died at the hands of the Tatars in this disaster. Especially his wife, like other women, suffered humiliation and died.
die.
How can he not hate this?
His first thought when he joined the army was to kill the Tatars and avenge his relatives!
When he was imprisoned by the Tatars in Mafang, he took advantage of Zhang Cheng's troops to make a surprise attack and killed a Tatar follower with his bare hands when the Tatars were unprepared.
The reason why he was so loyal to Zhang Cheng later was because he wanted to repay the kindness of saving his life, but the most important thing was his belief that Zhang Cheng could lead him to kill more Tatars.
Now, he was holding back all his energy and wanted to fight with the charging Er Bilong, but he didn't know that he turned out to be a coward among the Tatars. As soon as he saw him face to face, he fled on horseback.
…………
Just when Shi Meng wanted to use his legs to exert force and urge his war horse to chase and kill Bibilong, he heard the shouts of killing from behind him. He quickly pulled away and looked back. It turned out to be another wave of more than twenty Tatars.
La Bing caught up and was fighting fiercely with the soldiers on his sentry post.
Seeing this situation, he no longer had the intention to pursue Erbilong. He shouted "Kill the slaves... kill the slaves..." and ran towards the Tatar soldiers behind him, riding his horse to kill them.
This group of Tatar Baya soldiers was the one led by Buyan's concubine. Because Lin Fangping led his troops to intercept and kill Ta Zhan, he was able to catch up with him after only such a delay.
It was considered that Buyan's son-in-law was lucky. When he caught up with the soldiers of the Huwei camp, the short-handed muskets in their hands had all been fired and they had not had time to reload.
Without the help of such powerful cavalry weapons, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp could only fight hand-to-hand and bloody battles with the Tatar Baya soldiers, although their cavalry combat skills were indeed slightly inferior to those of the Bajala soldiers.
However, the Tiger Guard Battalion was superior in numbers. Two or three of them fought against a Baya soldier. The gap in fighting skills could be made up for by their numerical advantage.
Buyan'e's consort was originally a Mongolian. He was carried into Manchuria's Zhenghuang Banner because he became the brother-in-law of the slave chief Huang Taiji. However, his current status was not entirely due to his status as Huang Taiji's brother-in-law.
As a Mongolian, he grew up on horseback. He was a horseman and archer, and his ability to fight on horseback was not inferior to that of the Tatars. He followed Huang Taiji to conquer all directions, and he achieved his current status because of his meritorious service.
Facing the Ming army, he looked down upon them from the bottom of his heart. He always thought that they were all cowardly and afraid of fighting. Not to mention that there were only a hundred Ming troops in front of him, so what if there were nearly a thousand Ming troops. They were not led by ten of them.
Come and pursue for more than ten miles.
But this time, Buyan's son-in-law is destined to pay the price for his arrogance!
He took the lead in riding into the formation of the Tiger Guard soldiers. With a round shield in his left hand and an iron mace in his right hand, he knocked two Tiger Guard soldiers off their horses one after another. Just when he was proud.
He was startled by a cry of "Death, Tatar!" shouted in Mongolian. Just when Buyan's brother-in-law was still wondering if he heard correctly, a Ming army knight covered in leather armor shouted in Mongolian.
He screamed and rushed forward.
At first Buyan's brother-in-law thought that there were Mongolians among Chaohaer's Baya La. At this moment, he came to greet him. However, when he came closer, he realized that although the person was wearing Mongolian leather armor, other attires were...
The appearance of the Ming army.
He was shocked and asked in Mongolian: "Who are you?"
The person who came was obviously a head taller than him, and also a bit thicker than him. He just heard him shout: "Grandpa Temur, you are going to die!"
When Buyan's brother-in-law was in shock, Temur had already stabbed him with a tiger spear. It was too late, but it happened quickly. Buyan's brother-in-law suddenly twisted his waist and sided, and the tiger spear actually grazed his waist.
Sliding sideways, unscathed.
But before he could be happy, he felt that his body was moving involuntarily towards Temur, and at the same time, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his lower back.
It turned out that when Temur saw that the stab missed, he hurriedly twisted the tiger spear so that the back of the spear head was attached to the antlers on one side, and it was just behind Buyan's forehead and waist, and he pulled back with great force.
The protruding spikes on the antlers pierced deeply into the flesh of Buyan's lower back. How could he bear the bone-piercing pain? Buyan's nephew blurted out an earth-shattering cry: "Ah..."
But as a veteran on the battlefield, he naturally knew that if he was dragged in front of the fierce man on the opposite side, he would never survive. At that moment, he endured the severe pain, struggled to pick up the iron mace in his right hand, and smashed it on Temur's head.
However, Temur made a strange move and easily dodged the blow. He even held the tiger gun with his right hand and tightly hooked Buyan's body, and pulled him with his left hand in the air.
The mace was copied into his hand.
When Buyan's prince-in-law was still in shock, the mace in his hand had left his hand, and for some reason it fell into Temur's hand.
Temur directly lifted the iron mace with his left hand, used the handle as a hammer, and slammed it hard on the top of Buyan's helmet. The towering tassel was directly hit by this blow and disappeared.
Buyan's head was also shorter for some unknown reason. When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that his neck had been struck in the middle of his neck by this blow. The shape was very terrifying.
His eyes bulged out of their sockets, his tongue was sticking out, and his mouth was wide open, but he could no longer make a sound.
If you look closely, you will see bright red blood constantly overflowing from the corners of Buyan's eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears, dripping onto the armor on his chest and shoulders.
But Temur had no intention of admiring the work of art he had created. He swung it with his left hand again, and Buyan's lifeless body flew out to the side.
In this way, Temur's tiger spear was also freed. However, Temur seemed to like Buyan's iron mace very much, and he inserted it into a leather bag next to the saddle without hesitation.
At this time, the generals of the Qing army here, such as Tazhan, Afeni, and Buyan's son-in-law, were all killed in battle, and the remaining Tatar Baya soldiers also moved closer to Wayinbu.
There were still more than seventy people left, and they naturally gathered together to form a circular formation. It seemed that they had given up the attack and turned to the defensive.
Lin Fangping had no intention of attacking. He summoned the soldiers with a whistle and rode eastward. They soon met up with Su Laohu and the Chang brothers and formed a slightly loose square formation.
He was neither in a hurry to retreat nor to attack the Tatars. He just wanted to use this opportunity to restore the strength of his horse, because whether he was going to fight or retreat, he needed his horse to be able to run.
More than 400 elite cavalrymen from the Tiger Guard camp have been fighting until now, and only less than 300 people are left, and most of them have been injured. There are only a few who are not injured.
Now, the soldiers in the front row have hung their weapons on the victory hooks, taken out their bows and arrows, and are on tight guard, while the soldiers in the back rows are bandaging each other's wounds and cleaning them.
The soldiers who were not seriously injured took out the short-handed muskets they had just fired and nervously loaded the gunpowder. Since it had been changed to flint for firing, the gunpowder also used fixed-load gunpowder, and the filling was very fast.
Convenient.
The Tatars on the opposite side are gradually gathering, and their numbers have been increasing. They have 500 elite Baya soldiers on horseback, and now there are only less than 400 living people left, and dozens of them are seriously injured and can no longer fight.
Although, on the surface, the troops on both sides were almost equal and the difference was almost the same, Lin Fangping knew that Tatar reinforcements could arrive here at any time.
Therefore, he would never stay here too long. He was chatting briefly with Su Laohu, the Chang brothers and others. After about a quarter of an hour, he was ready to retreat eastward.
At this moment, more than ten Tatar soldiers came rushing towards us, and among them there was a Qing general, also wearing silver armor and with a very dignified face.
If he weren't born with a tall body, he would look very much like a scholar.
Seeing that the dozen or so Tatar Bagaras had rushed fifty steps ahead, but still had no intention of stopping, Chang Zhengbiao also came to the front row at this time and asked: "My brother can fight with one hand."
What a great gun, Lintou, how about we shoot it down for him?"
Lin Fangping shook his head and said solemnly: "No need, let's just take advantage of this time to rest more and regain more strength. That's the right way."
Having said that, we must be on guard. Lin Fangping immediately said to the officers and soldiers around him: "Please be careful and alert. We are going deep into the enemy's territory. We must not be careless."
When he said this, he couldn't help but glance around, and then said: "When we come out, will you remember everything the commander gave you?"
"Lin Tou, please be at ease, we have already written it down." Everyone answered almost in unison.
More than a dozen riders coming from the opposite side stopped more than thirty steps away. The Qing general in the middle spurred his horse forward for a few more steps before shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, appreciates your courage very much. I would like to remind you of this."
When the two countries are at war, don't kill them, as is the ancient saying, I want to spare your lives."
Just when Lin Fangping was full of doubts, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd.
Then he heard the Qing general continue to shout: "As long as you put down the weapons in your hands now and sincerely submit to our Qing Dynasty, the crimes you just committed will not be held accountable.
Moreover, you can also be promoted to officials and nobles, and everyone will receive rewards. If you persist in your stubbornness, you will all be killed here, and I will never tolerate it."
At this time, Lin Fangping understood the meaning of the other party's shouting: "Mom, it turns out you want to persuade us to surrender."
At this moment, he saw that it was getting late and the horse's leg strength had recovered, so he whispered to everyone: "You can't stay here for a long time. Give the order quietly and prepare to retreat."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the soldier who was delivering the order and added: "Tell everyone, wait until I give the order and then shout in unison."
