Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 887 Xiongjie
What was it like to be stared at by Yang Menglong's cold, murderous eyes?
Others don't know, but Zhang Fengyi was not feeling well anyway, as if someone had punched him hard in the chest, he took two steps back in shock, his face turned pale, he took He Sui's hand and hissed: "He Zongbing, these strong men take advantage of the fire to rob you!" , Intercepting and killing the officials ordered by the court, you are frantic, you should quickly lead your troops to kill them, there must be no mistake! As long as you can kill them, the old man will guarantee you with a head, and you will be promoted to three ranks, and your wife and son will be sealed. The glory and wealth are inexhaustible! If we don't kill them, we will die without a place to bury!"

His expression is frenzied, his official hat is tilted, his hair is disheveled, the arrogance and disdain of scholar-bureaucrats towards martial arts have all been thrown out of the sky, and now he is like a drowning man who is about to drown, and He Sui is the life-saving straw in his eyes!This abnormal behavior really startled He Sui, and he wanted to nod instinctively, but when he looked at the black tiger flag, and then at the hundreds of black-clothed soldiers who did not change their faces in the face of thousands of routs, he always felt It's not that simple.While hesitating, the young man who had just beheaded a magistrate spoke up.His voice was a little hoarse and out of breath, but it was like thunder, and everyone's hearts trembled when he spoke:

"I'm Yang Menglong, the champion of the Ming Dynasty!"

Champion Hou!
He Sui's legs gave way and he almost knelt down.No wonder he killed a magistrate like a chicken, no wonder he dared to stand in front of thousands of defeated soldiers with hundreds of soldiers, he is the champion of Ming Dynasty, he can count on five fingers the things he dare not do in this world !
Zhang Fengyi screamed sternly: "Don't listen to his gossip! Kill him! Kill him!"

Many officials screamed in horror: "Kill him! Kill him!"

Of course no one listened to them.

Yang Menglong didn't even look at these clowns, he just looked at the thousands of rout soldiers, coughed and said: "I was recuperating in Taiwan, and when I learned of the Liaodong incident, I rushed back immediately, gathered all the three armies, and rushed to help Liaodong. The soldiers traveled day and night, wanting to rendezvous with the emperor as soon as possible. But when they got to Zhending, they heard that the Nine Frontier Defense Line had collapsed, the situation in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ningxia was corrupt, and the tide of slaves and Tartars was coming. It was out of control, so I had to temporarily change my mind , crossed the Taihang Mountains and rushed to Taiyuan, but before reaching Yangquan, Taiyuan fell..." At this point, he sneered, staring at the thousands of rout soldiers with ashamed faces, and raised his voice three times: "You can do it! , Well done! Taiyuan is a world-renowned majestic city. It took several years or even more than ten years for all dynasties to conquer Taiyuan. Fortunately, you lost it to the enemy without a battle and never looked back. Fleeing to the south! Feel your conscience, the soldiers at the border are still fighting bloody battles, what face do you have to flee to the south! Officials are deceived by lard, and you Shanxi children are also confused, regardless of the life and death of the elders in your hometown Are you still men!? I brought people here to tell you that if you want to flee south, you can! But first, you have to step over my dead body!"

A group of officers and generals looked at each other, at a loss.Yang Menglong is the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, and the idol of thousands of Ming soldiers. Most of them have never seen him, but this does not prevent everyone from worshiping him enthusiastically.Now, the Ming God of War dragged his sick body and brought more than a hundred soldiers to stand in front of them, telling them that the road was blocked, what should they do? Really kill him, and then step over his body and continue to flee south?
Yang Menglong said coldly: "My army is still hundreds of miles away, and there are only a hundred or so soldiers around me, and I have been riding horses for several days, and I have no energy to fight. Thousands of you are going to kill us Fleeing south is very easy, as long as you can pass the test of your own conscience! As long as you are not afraid that you will not be able to enter the grave of your ancestors if you die! I will count to five times, and within five times you must make a decision, either kill me and continue to flee south, or Follow me to turn around and return to Yangquan, and fight the enemy to the end, there is no third way to choose!"

He suddenly raised a finger: "One!"

Thousands of rout soldiers were silent, and tens of thousands of eyes fell on that thin figure, all adoring.When the country is in crisis, dragging the seriously injured and sick body day and night, the three armies have not moved, and the commander goes first; when the battle situation is corrupt, with a few personal soldiers, he stands in front of the defeated soldiers dozens of times his own. What is a man? This is called a man!Follow such a commander to fight on the battlefield, even if you die in battle, you will not have any regrets, right?
Yang Menglong raised his second finger: "Two!"

Zhang Fengyi's face was distorted and his expression was ferocious. He stared at He Sui and said sharply, "He is a fake, don't listen to his nonsense! Kill him immediately! Otherwise, I will tell you to die without a place to bury you!"

Looking at this once superior, graceful and elegant boss, He Sui felt sick for a while. For the first time, he knew that these once unattainable scholar-bureaucrats would bite people like mad dogs!It is a shame for a man to obey the orders of such people and be led around by them!

Yang Menglong raised his third finger: "Three!"

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of several generals, their eyes fell on He Sui, and they whispered: "My lord, what should we do? You have an idea!"

How is it good?
Looking at the soldiers of the Heluo New Army who have been silent all the time and guarding in front of the crude line of defense, looking at the tens of thousands of Shanxi children behind them, and the refugees on both sides of the avenue who can't see the end at a glance, what can they do? The flint is as big as a bucket.Do you really want to kill Yang Menglong and run away? It is easy to kill Yang Menglong. There are only a hundred people around him, dozens of them beat one, and they are trampled to death. But will the soldiers obey such an order? Yang Menglong is the God of War of Ming Dynasty, the idol in the hearts of Ming soldiers!If he really wanted to order Yang Menglong to be killed, he was afraid that the thousands of Shanxi disciples behind the Heluo New Army and the countless refugees on both sides of the road would rush forward to fight him!Could it be that he can kill all these tens of thousands, 10,000+ people!Don't doubt, Yang Menglong really has such a charm that thousands of people are willing to die for him, because no one will sincerely seek benefits for the people like him!

The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring. This is the common people of China.They have a statement in their hearts, who is good to them and who is not good to them, they are very clear.

Looking at the refugees in ragged clothes and red feet from the cold, He Sui clenched his fists.In a trance, he thought of his grandfather again.His grandfather was from the frontier army, he was brave and good at fighting, and he fought many battles with the Mongol Tartars. The most amazing time he entered the enemy line alone and cut off the heads of eight Tartars, which shocked the Shangguan dumbfounded.This old man is in his 60s, and he still dances with guns and sticks, plays with stone locks, and works hard every day. He is very disdainful and even disgusted with his son's efforts to make money.He often said to He Sui: "When you put on this battle robe, you should work hard in the barracks, train soldiers, and repair armor. How many battles the Tartars have fought, how many times they climbed out of the ghost gate, and won the reputation of "He Tiger" at the border. Every time they lead troops out on patrol and see the people call "He Tiger" affectionately, they are happier than being promoted and getting rich! I earned it back through dozens of wars. How many Tartars I killed and how many people I saved to get back such a reputation! Your father is too utilitarian, so he can only enjoy what I have saved Yinde lives, don't expect to have a great future. But you are different, you are talented and able to endure hardships, as long as you lead troops steadily, fight steadily, and add the Yinde accumulated by your ancestors, when you reach Participating in the general is not a problem, if you can get to this point, grandpa can also laugh under the nine springs!"

His future is still bigger than his grandfather imagined, and he became the chief soldier at a young age.However, this commander-in-chief did not rely on military exploits in exchange for it, but instead relied on speculation to curry favor with his boss, and married the daughter of the former governor of Shanxi in exchange for this. Wouldn't you be happy? And this time, when the enemy is in front of us, he actually obeyed the orders of his superiors, burned Taiyuan, abandoned millions of Li people and fled south. Has the evil virtue accumulated by the ravaged people been wiped out? One mistake cannot be repeated. If you kill the champion and continue to flee south, will you lose your children and grandchildren because of doing too many things that both people and gods hate?
Yang Menglong raised his fourth finger: "Four!"

There was a suffocating silence and silence in the whole field, and the eyes of thousands of defeated soldiers fell on He Sui.Turn around to face the rolling Mongolian and Manchurian iron cavalry, and escape from death; kill Yang Menglong and flee south, and kill An with conscience!This is a difficult choice, how to decide, He Zongbing, you have to say something!

Suddenly, the young man's roar, the woman's scream, and the old man's curse all resounded earth-shatteringly, and merged into a violent thunder that exploded among the rout soldiers: "If you want to flee south, step over our dead bodies first!" Bar!!!"

He Sui trembled slightly, took off his helmet and took a few steps forward, prostrated himself at Yang Menglong, and said in a loud voice: "How dare a sinner dare to draw his sword in front of Lord Hou! He knew that his sin was serious, so he didn't dare to beg for forgiveness. I just want to follow Lord Hou’s battle flag back north, die in battle, and atone for my sins with death!”

All the generals bowed down in unison and shouted in unison: "Death on the battlefield, atonement with death!"

Thousands of rout soldiers fell to the ground layer by layer, and the cry of atonement with death resounded all over the field.Zhang Fengyi looked at this scene in disbelief, his hands and feet were cold, and his whole body trembled.It was unbelievable that a mere hundred or so soldiers, plus a group of people who gathered temporarily, made thousands of rout soldiers bow their heads and obey their orders!How did Yang Menglong do it? What kind of magic did he cast on these routs? For a while, the governor who had ruined the situation in Shanxi after only two or three months in office just felt hopeless and didn't want to think about anything up.Behind him, a magistrate closed his eyes and murmured, "It's over!"

Yang Menglong didn't even look at those civil servants, he was afraid of dirtying his eyes.He looked at the fallen soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Very well, your blood has not been polished. Now, follow my order, and the rear team will change to the front team and return to the north. The target is Yangquan! I will be here In front of you, I will be the first to enter the battlefield, and the last to leave the battlefield. If I take a step back, any one of you can chop off my head, and if you dare to turn around and run away, I will never show mercy! Enemy The mobilization this time is definitely not as simple as wanting to grab something. They want to destroy Daming and let hundreds of millions of Han children serve as their slaves! Those who don’t want to be slaves to other races, don’t want to give their wives and daughters to other races to humiliate them Yes, come with me!" After speaking, he got on his horse and walked straight towards the thousands of rout soldiers with the few personal soldiers, never thinking that these rout soldiers might suddenly attack and chop them into meat paste.

The rout soldiers moved aside one after another, watching them pass through with fanaticism, the veins in the hands holding the weapons came out.

how many years?
How many years haven't I seen someone stand up when aliens invade and the building is about to collapse, take the lead, shout "Follow me" at them, and then lead them to face the enemy's attack without hesitation?
He Sui yelled: "Change the back team to the front team! Keep up! Let's fight back!"

Thousands of soldiers yelled loudly: "Fight back! Fight back!" They collectively turned back, the rear team changed to the front team, and strode northward following the black battle flag. No one turned back.And behind them, tens of thousands of young and strong children from Shanxi followed with messy weapons, also without hesitation.Just as Yang Menglong said, the enemy's outburst this time is definitely not as simple as trying to grab something!Those officials don't even want to lose face, they do everything possible to destroy the defense of Shanxi and Shaanxi, they want to cooperate with the inside and outside, and destroy Daming!The country is about to perish, where is there a home? Where can they escape to? Instead of running around in their own country like a dog, watching the whole country fall and the whole family as slaves, it is better to take advantage of the strength that is still there. If you have the courage to fight hard, bite the tartar a few bites, you will die cleanly!

Zhang Fengyi and other civil servants wanted to escape, but where could they escape? They were all tied up and thrown into the carriage, and followed the army back north, trembling all over listening to the heavy and swift footsteps.Perhaps, they didn't realize until now that these soldiers and common people, who were regarded as nothing by them, were so terrifying, and they would become so terrifying after crossing their bottom line!It's a pity, it's too late to regret it now, they have nowhere to escape, they can only sacrifice the flag to Yang Menglong!

I knew today, why bother?
