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

Chapter 599 Queen 2
Mencius once said: "The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people!"

Although this statement is a bit absolute, it is not unreasonable. For more than 2000 years, Chinese military strategists of all dynasties must first look at the time, location, and harmony of the generals when fighting wars, and then calculate the odds of victory and make targeted deployments , If you find that you can't take advantage of it, then you will definitely not fight the battle. It will not be like the European knights in the Middle Ages. Open Bian and call it a day.And this "geographical advantage" is the one that has been studied the most. After all, the weather and people and these two things change every day. No matter how clever a general is, they can't really grasp it. Only the terrain will not change for tens of millions of years. Geographical advantages can be used as an army of [-]. In ancient times, there are countless examples of using terrain to defeat the strong with the weak.However, one of the principles used by Chinese military strategists for terrain is to seize the commanding heights as much as possible when conditions permit, and at the same time try to avoid attacking the commanding heights that are firmly held by the enemy; The dry side; you must be cautious when encountering narrow roads, and go around as much as you can. If you can't go around, you have to reconnaissance again and again, and then pass quickly after making sure there is no ambush; you must quickly pass through the dangerous terrain where the enemy and us are intertwined. If you act slowly, you may bring overwhelming bad luck...

Far away, I have said so much, in fact, I just want to say that the ambush soldier swooped down from the high slope of more than 50 meters, and took the upper hand as soon as he shot, condescending, and the speed of the horse was faster than running on the flat ground The kinetic energy is even more astonishing, while Zuo Menggeng and his gang of unlucky men were killed and wounded by the crossbow first, and then they were in the state of upward attack, and they had already suffered a big loss before they started fighting.And the combat effectiveness of the ambushes was beyond their imagination. These guys who dared to attack the court officers and soldiers in ambush each had a saber that looked like a Miao knife, and they came roaring faster than Ben Lei. With one swing, blood spattered. As soon as the body feels cold, the pain has not yet been transmitted to the nerve reflex center, and the whole body has been swung twice.There are also some good players who avoided the deadly saber in a short time, but they could not avoid the second one. These light cavalry charged in steps, one after the other, completely ignoring the enemies on the left and right, just following the front The comrades-in-arms were all in the end, so the Changping Army cavalry had just avoided the first knife, and the second knife was struck again. After a drag, the screams were loud and earth-shattering. Severely cut off, or there will be a wound more than a foot long on the chest or abdomen, even if it does not die, it will be crippled!With the flash of swords, this group of Changping soldiers was full of blood mold, and the enemy army swept past like a hurricane. They were killed and wounded everywhere, which was terrible.

After finally surviving the first round of charge, there were not many remaining Changping Army cavalry left, and they paled in horror. They were about to gather together, but saw the woman in red galloping up the hillside at some point. With a whistle, a row of lances with cold light protruded from the back of the hillside. She herself took a horse lance and put it under her armpit with one hand. The spurs kicked the horse's belly, and the horse neighed wildly, flying into the air like a cannonball. Then, she rushed towards the defeated generals around Zuo Menggeng, and behind her were at least thirty knights on horseback. They all adopted the tactics of attacking with guns, controlling the horse with one hand and holding the lance with the other, forming a line. Two rows rush down!Wang Yuncheng's face was ashen-colored with horror, and he yelled wildly against the large cold light, "You...you are definitely not rebels! Who are you!"

It seems a bit late to ask who the other party is now.The woman in red took the lead, as if a crimson bolt of lightning was coming. The horse's front trembled slightly, skillfully avoiding Wang Yuncheng's saber, and a swirling stab hit Wang Yuncheng's left chest. The front of the heavy blow was almost paper. The half-meter-long lance went in from the front of the chest and came out from the back. The lance stretched into a bow shape and flicked. Wang Yuncheng spurted a large amount of blood from his wound and fell off the horse.A servant next to him tried his best to stab the woman in red in the chest, but the shot was fast and ruthless, but his horse was about one and a half meters longer than his gun, and he hadn't fully fired the shot yet. The horse-lance knight on the left of the woman in red stabbed him in the face first, knocking him over.

The knight of the horse lance rushed forward, Zuo Menggeng was horrified, and blocked one lance with his spear with all his strength, and then leaned back, the lance of the second horse lance fell off the tip of his nose empty, leaving a scar on his forehead.The cold lance made Zuo Menggeng break out in cold sweat, but he also knew that he had saved his life, because there were only [-] of these terrifying horse lance knights, lined up in two rows.After the two horses crossed, he quickly scanned the battlefield with his eyes, just in time to see the woman in red picking off a servant who had followed him for five years and was known throughout the army for his strength.Now he is in no mood to hold grudges anymore, because there are only five or six servants who can still follow him, and if he doesn't run away, he will die!With a loud shout, he took advantage of the fact that the cavalrymen had rushed over and the group of saber cavalry had not yet had a chance to kill them, and led the last five or six men to rush towards the corner of the left wing where there was no one, and fled.

The group of saber cavalry had regrouped and was about to charge again to chop them into dumpling stuffing, but when they saw Zuo Menggeng fleeing with his men, they couldn't help yelling: "If you can't beat them, run away? Zuo, Are you a man!"

Zuo Menggeng turned a deaf ear to the curses of the saber cavalrymen. For him, any reputation and fame are false, and saving his life is the real thing. He leaned on the horse's back, wishing that he could get into the horse's belly and gallop away , ran much faster than when he came.Seeing him running away, the woman in red sneered, handed the horse lance to a female general who was following her, and beckoned, and immediately a saber cavalry handed over a strong crossbow loaded with arrows like a monkey presenting a treasure , she glanced briefly, and pulled the trigger.With a bang, the crossbow arrows shot out, across a distance of more than 60 steps, and plunged into the buttocks of Zuo Menggeng's horse with a puff, and most of the crossbow arrows pierced in.Under the severe pain, the war horse hissed wildly, and threw Zuo Menggeng out with a leap forward, each man and horse rolled on the ground.The cavalrymen of the Changping Army who were fleeing for their lives were taken aback. If it was someone else, they would of course see death without saving them, but Zuo Menggeng couldn't. If they left him on the battlefield, Zuo Liangyu would have to skin them!I have no choice, hurry back and save people!
The group of saber cavalry seemed to have expected that these remnant soldiers would turn back to rescue Zuo Menggeng. After the woman in red shot the arrow, they unanimously put their sabers back into their sheaths and drew their crossbows. The crossbow came galloping forward, the bowstrings rang repeatedly, and the deadly arrows roared out, and greeted the horses. All the horses that were shot fell down sadly, overturning the last few servants, and fell to the ground. white.Zuo Menggeng's heart turned cold when he saw it. How can this kind of tactical quality and skill be possessed by a group of peasants who besieged Xinyang City with hoes?They can't be rioters, let alone thieves, they...

Before he could figure out the reason, the group of saber cavalry had already surrounded him and the last few servants who had been beaten to death.The group of servants stood back to back and protected Zuo Mengeng in the middle. Zuo Mengeng looked at the saber cavalry flying back and forth around them and shouted in despair: "Who are you!"

What responded to him was a noose that fell from the sky.Yes, the saber cavalry had put down their crossbows and took out their third weapon: the lasso.To put it bluntly, this set of horse rope is a rope made of horsetail and wool, as thick as a little finger, seven or eight meters long, and very flexible. Herdsmen on the grassland use it to harness wild horses or mad bulls, and it is very effective.Of course, it is quite difficult to use this thing. It is much more difficult to learn than the horse pole, and it will take several years of hard work.But this group of cavalrymen played with a rope very well. They tied a slipknot at the end of the rope to make a noose, and galloped the horse while dancing. , unbiased, in the middle of the tenth ring.The servant on Zuo Menggeng's back was the first to be hit, and was caught by the noose around his neck. He instinctively swung his knife at the rope to cut it off, but the galloping horse would drag him down mercilessly.Zuo Menggeng turned his head in horror, just in time to see the famous Jia Ding struggling and being dragged to pieces by the galloping horse. Before he had time to react, a noose fell from the sky. Luckily, he was not caught around his neck, but the noose Grabbing one arm of him, he also dragged him down and away.The stones and thorns on the ground easily tore through Zuo Menggeng's clothes and his flesh. The pain was indescribable. He tied people with ropes and galloped on horses more than once, listening to the bloody man behind him. The unlucky man screamed miserably, and was in a mess of joy. Now that the same experience happened to him, he knew that this game was not fun at all!
The last few servants shouted wildly: "Young General!"

Before the words were finished, the few of them were also trapped, dragging wildly all the way, and their skins were torn apart within a hundred steps.

Zuo Menggeng's luck is that the saber cavalry who trapped him didn't want his life. After dragging him to pieces, he dragged him to the woman in red, but his servants didn't have such a good life , the saber cavalry dragged them back and forth, dragging bloody paths on the ground, and those evil servants were still cursing sharply at the beginning, but soon it turned into screams, and then the screams turned into crying Shouting, in the end even the crying and shouting disappeared, and it turned into a pile of bloody rotten meat, which even dogs dared not smell when thrown there.Zuo Menggeng was trembling with fright. He still wanted to resist, but when the horse dragged him down just now, his right arm was pulled and dislocated. He had lost his fighting power and could only be slaughtered. What are these horrible guys planning? against him?His pupils shrank, and he looked at the woman in red who brought him into the slaughterhouse in fear, and asked in a trembling voice, "You... who are you! Who are you!"

The woman in red jumped off the horse with the whip in her hand, leaned down and said to him softly: "I am the lady in red, remember my name!" After she finished speaking, she swung the whip, and a gust of wind blew it down heavily, curling up on Zuo Menggeng's body. Take a piece of flesh.Zuo Menggeng twitched in pain, hissing wildly: "Bitch, I...I won't let you go! I'm going to kill you! I——ah!!!" His ruthless words came In the middle of speaking, another whip was drawn down, and a piece of flesh was swept away from his body. This kind of severe pain was a hundred times worse than being dragged by the horse just now, and the pain made him lose even the strength to curse.The red lady whipped the whip like a gust of wind, and lashed at Zuo Menggeng desperately, scolding: "You still play with me, right? I let you play, I let you play... why don't you play?" ?I let you be domineering, I let you kill innocent people indiscriminately! I really think that no one in this world can cure you, right? Ah? I really think that all the people in the world are fish on your chopping board, let you chop them up, right? , eh? Now I’m going to show you Zuo’s father and son what will happen if you anger the common people!”

After this violent beating, Zuo Mengeng was quickly beaten to the point where he was no longer human. He could no longer curse. He just kept screaming for mercy: "Female General, please spare your life. I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore." Come on! Please, don’t kill me!” After shouting, everyone turned into crying, and they were crying so hard that the knights who were watching were very disdainful.

Seeing him crying, the red lady's riding crop stopped in the air, stared at him and said: "Why are you crying? I won't really beat you to death. At most, I will beat you half to death, and then hand you over to those The common people who have been harmed by you!"

Zuo Menggeng cried even more sadly...
