The shouts of killing like a roaring mountain and a tsunami resounded in Linquan again. All this has become accustomed to the officers and soldiers. Attack, defend; attack again, and defend again for several days. This is what they have done repeatedly.
But something seems different today.
General Ding has told them that today will be the last day of their defense. After today, no matter what happens, Ding Yunyi will lead them to break through.
go home!
The rebels were also uncharacteristic of themselves today. Their offensive momentum was far stronger than in the previous days.
Ding Yunyi and his brothers struggled to kill the enemies who rushed up one after another. Their shirts were covered with blood, and they had killed countless people.
There are too many, there are too many thieves rushing up in layers.
I can’t kill them all, I can’t cut them all down!
The dilapidated flag is still hunting for rubbish on the battlefield:
The brave and loyal tiger guards!
There was blood everywhere on the flag, the enemy's, our own, everything.
But as long as this flag does not fall, our brothers will never give up their determination to fight!
The war horse suddenly let out a mournful cry, and an arrow hit the horse. The horse rushed forward, and Ding Yunyi rolled to the ground.
Suddenly, several spears stabbed at him aimlessly, each spear stabbed harder than the last, and each stroke tried to kill Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi rolled several times, but he still couldn't avoid it. Suddenly, he felt pain in his leg. He had been stabbed by a bullet. As a result, Ding Yunyi's speed became even slower.
It was over, Ding Yunyi sighed in his heart, this disaster could not be avoided no matter what.
Several spears fell down together
At the moment of life and death, suddenly a black shadow jumped towards Ding Yunyi, and all the fallen spears fell on that man.
The man roared, swung his sword wildly with his backhand, and cut off the barrel of the gun. This was the end of his strength. After doing this, he rolled to the side and remained motionless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Yunyi stood up suddenly regardless of the injury on his leg, and pounced on the rebels like a mad tiger. In a moment, blood flew everywhere, and several rebels had died under his sword.
Only then did Ding Yunyi get a chance to breathe. He looked at the man who rescued him. It was his brother brought from Penghu: Qin Guozhong.
Qin Guozhong was already dead, and Ding Yunyi rushed to his side. Qin Guozhong smiled and said: "Sir, I can no longer follow you."
Ding Yunyi nodded silently, and Qin Guozhong's eyes became distracted. Until his death, there were only two words in his mouth:
go home
He wanted to go home. Go back to Penghu, but he could never go back.
After putting down Qin Guozhong's body, Ding Yunyi stood up slowly. Another brother left him forever. They did not die in the hands of pirates or Hongyi, but they gave up their lives here.
Looking at the battlefield with the sound of killing, Ding Yunyi hastily bandaged his wounds. He put on a war horse, and the hand holding the dragon tooth trembled a little. He roared with all his strength:
"kill!"
Kill! Kill! Kill all these bandits!
Ding Yunyi, with red eyes, has turned into a killing machine at this moment. He doesn't care at all about how many weapons are around him trying to take away his life, or how many enemies are in front of him, he just waves the sword desperately
, desperately killing every enemy you can see!
"kill!"
All the cavalry roared like this, fighting hard regardless of life or death.
After one layer of thieves were killed, another layer came up. Their swords were already sharpened, so they switched to the enemy's weapons and fought with the thieves risking their lives again.
Duan San'er, who was holding the battle flag and waving it constantly, suddenly said "Oops" and fell to the sky.
At the moment when the battle flag was about to land, a fast rider rushed over and grabbed the battle flag.
Ding Yunyi!
He glanced at Duan San'er who was on the ground. He was hit by an arrow in his right chest, but it was not fatal. Ding Yunyi waved the battle flag and shouted: "Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
The last strength has been fully mobilized. When one cavalry dies, another cavalry will soon continue to bravely fill his vacancy.
As long as there is one person here, the bandit army will not be able to capture Linquan!
Such brutal fighting will never be forgotten by the bandits for the rest of their lives. The images of these brave and fearless officers and soldiers during the battle will be engraved in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
"Yingzhou is broken, Yingzhou is broken!"
Suddenly, such a cry came from the bandit army.
"Yingzhou is broken! Yingzhou is broken!" The shouts are getting louder and louder, spreading wider and wider.
Yingzhou was broken? Ding Yunyi stopped what he was doing.
Yingzhou is broken, Yingzhou is broken after all.
Ding Yunyi knew that this was not a cry made by the rebels who wanted to destabilize his own military morale. It was already a miracle that Yingzhou could persist until now.
For nine days, for nine whole days, Yingzhou, which had an unorganized city and unprepared military equipment, was able to persist for nine days. This was something that no one had thought of before.
If the reinforcements had come one day earlier, if there had been no such thing on the battlefield, there would have been no if
On the battlefield, the bandit army was still unable to break through the defense of the officers and soldiers, and after learning that Yingzhou had been defeated, the bandit army had no intention of fighting. Once they entered the city, they could loot at will. If they thought about it, their companions who entered the city would have already looted it.
It was extremely satisfying, but he still had to continue fighting with the officers and soldiers here. All the thoughts of the thieves and soldiers had already flown to Yingzhou, and they no longer wanted to fight.
Zhang Xianzhong knew that he would never have a chance to break through here or kill Ding Yunyi.
Once the morale of the military is messed up, what can be done to clean it up?
He looked at Linquan helplessly and shook his head helplessly. As long as he had half a day left, Linquan would definitely be his. By that time, Ding Yunyi's head would definitely be placed in front of him.
Why did Sun Kewang break the city so quickly? Zhang Xianzhong even blamed his own son.
"Father, it's not possible." Liu Wenxiu said helplessly: "The brothers are no longer interested in fighting. They are all shouting to go back to Yingzhou, otherwise they will not get anything."
"Forget it, forget it." Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said with a wry smile: "I still can't kill Ding Yunyi after all, God refuses to let him die. Wenxiu, withdraw your troops."
Speaking of this, his face darkened: "We are entering Yingzhou, but we must not let Ding Yunyi escape so easily. You lead three thousand people to defend here. Once Ding Yunyi wants to escape, you must try your best to stop him no matter what!"
"
"Yes, foster father!" Liu Wenxiu said loudly.
Zhang Xianzhong took another look at Linquan. This was a place he would never forget. Here, his army was littered with corpses. Here, he was defeated again by Ding Yunyi.
Yingzhou is broken!
Under the fierce attack of the bandits, Yingzhou, which held on for nine days, was finally broken.
In the eighth year of Chongzhen's reign, various bandits were besieged by the army in Henan. In order to break out of the encirclement, the leaders of 13 families and 72 battalions of bandits held a military meeting in Xingyang, Henan.
As a result of the discussion, it was decided to divide the troops and attack to break the official army's encirclement and suppression plan.
After the meeting, Zhang Xianzhong put up a decisive battle posture to confuse the officers and soldiers, and Li Zicheng, led by Gao Yingxiang, advanced eastward.
Later, Zhang Xianzhong withdrew from the battlefield, arrived first and became the vanguard of the rogue bandits, defeating Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui and other prefectures and counties.
But at the foot of Yingzhou City, he encountered strong resistance from the Yingzhou army and people, led by Ding Yunyi's eight hundred elite cavalry.
On the 9th, Zhang Xianzhong's main force was delayed in Yingzhou for nine days.
When the city of Yingzhou was broken, the bandits rushed into the city, looting and massacring to vent their hatred.
Not only the Yingzhou soldiers, but also the innocent people were killed. The entire Yingzhou was filled with blood.
The state judge Zhao Shikuan was captured by the bandits and was immediately beheaded by the bandits.
Shangshu Zhang Heming gathered his servants to fight to the death and reached the rebel army desperately, but the regular officers and soldiers could not stop them. How could just a few servants stop the rebels with such fierce momentum?
Soon the servants dispersed and Zhang Heming was captured alive by the bandits.
The bandits knew that they had captured a high-ranking official and asked him to plead for mercy. Zhang Heming scolded the thief endlessly. The bandits were furious and cut Zhang Heming's flesh with a knife. Zhang Heming suffered pain and continued to curse while bleeding. A total of thirty cuts were made to his whole body by the bandits.
Seven times, Zhang Heming cursed the thief and died.
As for Yin Menglong, the magistrate of Yingzhou, he knew that the situation in Yingzhou was irreversible just after the city was defeated. His only hope was that Ding Yunyi did not know whether he would live or die. He knew that he would not be spared this time, so he returned to the government office and forced his two sons to commit suicide.
The lady said: "This time the city is destroyed, you and I are no longer lucky. As an official of the imperial court, I cannot defend Yingzhou, and it would be a shame to die. I have decided to die. I am afraid that my wife will fall into the hands of thieves and be humiliated. Madam
Do you understand me?"
At this time, the lady did not know that her two sons had been forced to commit suicide by her husband. She cried bitterly: "I am dead. I hope that my husband will spare the lives of my two children. I am deeply grateful to my husband for his great kindness."
After saying this, he threw himself into a well and died.
Yin Menglong stamped his feet and cried loudly. In an instant, his family was ruined and Yingzhou fell into the hands of thieves. While he scolded the bandits, he kowtowed three times to the north: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot protect Yingzhou. I am born.
The loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the death is the loyal soul of the Ming Dynasty, I will go!"
After saying that, he stood up and shouted in the direction of Linquan: "Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi, Yingzhou is destroyed. You are loyal and courageous. If you have a way out, don't forget the hatred of Yingzhou!"
He cried loudly and then raised fire.
From then on, the city of Yingzhou was finally defeated after struggling hard. The prefect Yin Menglong, the state judge Zhao Shikuan, and the minister Zhang Heming all died. Zhang Xianzhong looted and plundered Yingzhou, and Yingzhou suffered devastating damage.
Once Yingzhou was defeated, Fengyang directly faced the enemy attack.
During these nine days, there was no reinforcement from the officers and soldiers from the Henan direction, and they also did not dare to reinforce from the Fengyang direction, leaving Yingzhou to stand alone for nine days without help.
There is only one Ding Yunyi who really gives Yingzhou all-out support! (To be continued Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work
