Everyone was in tears at this moment. They knew that they were saved. The Ming Dynasty was not without men, nor was it without heroes. Whenever the Chinese nation was in the most dangerous time, there would always be someone who stepped forward to turn the tide. The shame of this apocalypse was also
No exception, and they, these captured clansmen, are the witnesses of this battle of national destiny.
There were not many cavalry roaring down the hillside. There were only a hundred or ten of them, but they were as majestic as a million-strong army, especially the eighteen battle flags fluttering in the wind and the four inspiring characters: Liu Ziguang is here! Use the most powerful words.
He told his enemies in the plain yet most arrogant language that I am here! What a look down on the world and what a heroic spirit!
The clan members suddenly had a backbone and their backs straightened up. The ladies couldn't help but burst into tears. The men still had a straight face and tried to maintain their dignity, but the tears in their eyes could not help but tremble.
Their lips betrayed them deeply. At this moment, everyone was moved by the Red Shirt Army and Liu Ziguang.
In the royal car, the queen heard the noise outside, climbed to the roof of the car and took a look. She quickly came down and shook the empress dowager's arm and said: "Mother, queen, the prince-in-law is here to save you!" As she spoke, tears came out, and she burst into tears.
Big tears fell on the Empress Dowager's withered face. The Empress Dowager suffered a stroke for a long time and was captured by the barbarians. She was so angry that she could not move or speak. She had to be cared for to eat, drink and have sex. At this moment, when she heard the Queen's words, her eyes suddenly opened.
Looking at her daughter-in-law suspiciously, Xu Yuanhui thought that the Queen Mother did not understand, and said loudly: "It's your son-in-law Liu Ziguang who is here! Liu Ziguang! The Duke of Zhenguo! The most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty!"
This time the Empress Dowager finally understood, and muddy tears flowed from her already dry eyes. Her son was fatuous and incompetent. He loved a villain and was a wise minister. When in danger, he ran away by himself, leaving his mother and daughter-in-law to the Tartars.
The son-in-law didn't say anything, and he didn't want the country. At the critical moment, the son-in-law was in charge. The old man's lips were trembling and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Xu Yuanhui understood and cried: "Mother, there is no need to worry, it will be fine when the Duke of the country comes."
I’m not afraid anymore.” Then the couple held their heads and cried loudly.
Hundreds of knights ran wildly in the night, and the light beam in the sky kept shining on them, like God's protection. However, such a weak team seemed too weak to attack the large formation of more than ten thousand people. Suddenly, the light beam in the sky turned,
Shining towards the Xixia car formation, the dazzling light made them unable to open their eyes. They all showed their ugly faces with their buttocks protruding and bleeding. Some of the slightly poisoned people had already pulled up their trousers and were lying behind the car formation, ready to shoot arrows.
But the situation around them made them sweat.
Torches surged from all directions, and hundreds of thousands of troops seemed to be surrounding them. The sound of war drums in the sky also changed and turned into the pipa song "Ambush from Flying Daggers". The music has a strong fighting spirit, which indicates that dangers are lurking all around.
The enemy troops surrounded them like four copper and iron walls, and their shouts of killing resounded throughout the fields. They were truly thousands of troops.
It's over. The enemy is protected by the Immortal God. We were defeated unjustly. The Xixia army, which had experienced hundreds of battles but had never experienced such a situation, finally gave up the resistance. It was not that they were not brave enough, but that what they saw was completely beyond their control.
As long as they can understand and bear it psychologically, they will not be afraid to fight with others, even if they beat the last person. However, these Mongolian soldiers will not have the courage to fight against Changshengtian.
Then again, even if they have the guts to resist, they don't have the strength anymore. They are all diarrhea and their faces are green. How can they fight with others? The middle of the car array is full of feces and urine, and they are slipping when walking. The only few who can fight
The guys were no match for the Red Shirt Army, so the ninety-nine knights rushed to the car formation without any danger, jumped on the cart, held two blunderbuss and shouted: "The Red Shirt Army is here, who will fight?"
Who will die?"
This is pure nonsense. There are nearly 10,000 Xixia soldiers, and very few are able to move. They are basically lying in a pile of feces and urine, humming, unable to get up. The few guys who can still move obediently dropped their weapons and raised their hands.
After becoming prisoners and seeing that the situation was decided, the nobles of the clan dared to vent their grievances for many days, picked up the easy ones, avenged themselves, redressed their grievances, and used the most primitive methods to seek justice for the humiliation they had suffered.
.
Reinforcements from all directions have also arrived. The common people of Yishui are wearing straw sandals and bamboo hats. They have all kinds of weapons in their hands, such as claw hooks, dung forks, shovels, hoes, sickles, axes, and guillotines. Basically, there are no serious weapons, they are just farm tools.
.
There were a lot of people coming, and the mountains and plains were full of people. The local officials and officials with black gauze collars worked hard to coordinate their work, moving the car arrays away, gathering the captive mules and horses, and scooping up the excrement and urine with shovels for later use as fertilizer.
, only the clan nobles were ignored, and they did not dare to run around, waiting for Liu Ziguang's arrival one by one.
Suddenly, one of the people shouted: "The Duke is here!" Then everyone bowed down together. Thousands of people bowed down together. It was as spectacular as crops being blown low by the wind. Liu Ziguang was wearing a half-worn red shirt with his waist hanging.
Bao Jian, with his head held high, came with a swagger, gesturing with both hands as he walked, and came to these clan members. Without even looking at them, he walked straight to the imperial chariot, raised his robe in front of the imperial chariot, prostrated himself, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, please save me."
Being late is punishable by death!"
There is a point in what he said. Calling himself a son-in-law instead of a guilty one shows that he does not recognize the crime Zhu Youxiao imposed on him. This is a treasonous crime. Regardless of whether you were wrongly accused or not, until the emperor vindicates you,
You can only be guilty. Liu Ziguang is so arrogant. The clan members all turned to stare at the chariot to see how the Queen and the Queen Mother would respond.
After a moment, the queen's voice came from the royal chariot: "The Duke of Zhenguo has done a great job in rescuing the chariot. What's the crime? If you come, please give me a seat."
Everyone was in an uproar. The queen was responsible. She wiped out all the charges against Liu Ziguang in one sentence. She was determined to go against the emperor. However, it was understandable. The queen had been thrown into the cold palace and Wei Guogong was also executed.
Kill, she was already at odds with the emperor, how could she not save enough face for Liu Ziguang when she was under the eaves.
There were no seats anywhere in the wilderness, and there were no maids or eunuchs in front of the queen. Liu Ziguang's men had some clues, so they brought a bed and asked Liu Ziguang to sit down. Liu Ziguang sat down with a golden sword, thanked him first, and then
Asked: "Have the Queen Mother and Queen ordered me to do anything?"
The Empress Dowager suffered a stroke and was unable to speak. It was the Empress who still responded: "The Duke is busy with military affairs, so please do as you please. It's just that Queen Anu of Xixia is kind to the Empress Dowager and me, so please handle it as appropriate."
Liu Ziguang naturally agreed, arranged for some soldiers to guard the chariot, and then led his subordinates to go about their business. The half-dead prisoners were a big problem. It would be difficult to deal with them when they recovered. There were not so many ropes and shackles.
There is not enough guarding troops, and even food is insufficient. These Xixia elite soldiers are not fuel-efficient lamps, and leaving them behind will definitely be a disaster.
Liu Ziguang called several local county officials, whispered a few words, and made a gesture of cutting a melon, and they happily accepted the order. He directed the farmers to carry the prisoners aside in groups of three and five to deal with them.
, Poor these villagers have never seen blood in their lives, but tonight they are full of blood, the white sickle goes in and the red sickle comes out, the black hoe goes down and the red hoe comes up, killing people until they are bleeding like rivers. They are frightened and many people are so disgusted that they vomit on the spot.
Only some people who butchered dogs and pigs were as comfortable as a fish in water. The butcher's knife flew up and down, wiping the necks one by one and inserting them into the heart, very neatly.
The sky was twilight, and the eastern sky was the color of fish belly. Then a red sun jumped out. At dawn, blood flowed on the Jianghuai land. The pond that had been drank up by the Xixia soldiers was now filled with corpses.
Pity the 20,000 Xixia Xue troops, half of them were burned to death, and the other half were killed by farmers with hoes and sickles. As a soldier, it was extremely sad that he should die in such a way.
People from all four townships and eight counties came to deliver dry food, soup, and water, collect various trophies, bury corpses, and clean the battlefield. Tens of thousands of people worked enthusiastically and in an orderly manner. The people in the Huaihe River Basin have always had a tradition of working on the river. There were hundreds of thousands of people.
It was a big project for everyone to work together. Today this can only be regarded as a small job. Moreover, the workers who work out of the river are government servants, and they only have to pay for food. Today's business is different. The Duke of Guo promised to give them all the captured large animals. That's a big deal.
Tens of thousands of hard-working Mongolian horses are used to pull people, pull goods, grind and plow fields. Farmers don't like gold, silver, silk, silk, and satin. What they like most is land and livestock. For one day's work, one family can get it.
A horse, this deal is a great deal. No wonder the people participated enthusiastically. According to conservative estimates by county officials, there were 100,000 people directly participating in this battle, and no less than 200,000 people were provided with various logistical support...
In the large cowhide tent of the Xixia coach, Anu was leaning on the camp bed, looking at the haggard young man in front of him with a pale face, and asked in a weak voice: "Are you Liu Ziguang?"
Liu Ziguang looked up and down at this heroic woman who led an army to attack Nanjing for thousands of miles. He saw that she was in a miserable state, with her belt untied, revealing a trace of snow-white waist, and her face was even more ugly.
It's dry, I guess it's due to severe dehydration.
"Are you Anu?" Liu Ziguang asked, Anu just nodded slightly, Liu Ziguang also nodded, beckoned for someone to take a bowl of Chinese medicine and said: "Drink it and you'll be fine."
Anu knew that the matter had come to this and that the other party would never poison him, so he reluctantly stood up and drank the bowl of potion. After a while, his face became rosier and his stomach no longer made a gurgling sound.
.
Anu regained a little strength, then gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Ziguang, how many soldiers and horses did you bring with you, and what tricks did you use to defeat my 20,000 cavalry overnight?"
Liu Ziguang smiled lightly and said: "Not many, only ninety-nine including me."
