Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Outside the formation, Guo Sheng kept screaming strangely.

He kept urging his men to hit him.

The Chu army had crowded in front of the Ming army's formation, and some even got off their horses to move the cart.

Some soldiers turned sideways and squeezed into the Ming army camp from the overturned cart.

The Ming soldiers who were guarding behind the cart pulled out their sabers and slashed at the intruder's face, causing blood to fly...

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty waved their spears and stabbed them along the gaps. The intruders only had lances and waist knives, which were much shorter in length. For a while, they were stabbed into showers of blood...

However, at this moment, anyone with a little bit of military common sense knows that the defeat of the Ming army is only a matter of time!

If there is no improvement, I'm afraid I won't even be able to hold on for a cup of tea!

Seeing them changing the direction of attack and bypassing the front of the Ming army, the astonishingly powerful cannons no longer roared, and the morale of the intruders suddenly rose!

Immediately, the intruders in the front dismounted and pushed the cart, ignoring the spears thrust by the Ming army. The intruders in the back held bent bows and kept throwing arrows into the Ming army's array.

The miserable howls of the Ming army sounded one after another.

The number of intruders was too great.

With dozens of times the numerical advantage, even if there is only a slight advantage, as long as we expand around this advantage, the results will be infinitely magnified!

In chess, this situation is called a "pair".

At this time, the tactic Guo Sheng adopted was a pair!

He took advantage of the Ming army's small number of disadvantages and adopted the stupidest and most effective method - pairs!

Even if it takes a hundred of him to defeat one Ming army person, he will be the final winner.

Guo Sheng has seen the dawn of victory!

Within a short time, there were 300 Ming troops who were injured and unable to move...

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Another dozen riders crashed into the cart regardless of their own lives!

The heavy cart defense line was knocked open with a gap of about ten feet wide. The intruders in front of the formation let out strange roars, brandished various weapons, and rushed in through the gap.

In fact, the flow of people squeezed the carts on both sides of the gap and transformed them!

……

Baoding City Head.

When reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty arrived outside the city, flying the Chinese military flag, a turmoil had just subsided at the city gate.

Fang Zhenghua, who had not slept for several days, went into battle again and took charge of the city in person.

He hasn't slept for three days in a row.

The dilapidated Baoding Martyrs’ Shrine

The soldiers felt sorry for him and forced him to take a night's rest last night. Who knew that something bad would happen.

It turned out that when the situation in the Ming Dynasty was critical, on the 26th of the first lunar month, Li Jiantai, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the scholar of Dongge, the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, asked himself to supervise Li Zicheng.

Emperor Chongzhen personally poured him three glasses of wine to see him off, and even awarded him the title of Minister of War and gave him a sword.

However, after Li Jiantai left the city, he tried his best to stop moving forward. In more than ten days, he only walked a few hundred miles...

After hearing that his hometown Quwo had been captured by Li Zicheng, he was so frightened that he did not dare to leave anymore, so he turned around and prepared to hide in Guangzong City.

The county magistrate Guangzong scolded him for being shameless, seeking fame and harming national affairs, and kept the door closed. For three days in a row, he went to the city in person to scold Li Jiantai.

Not only did Li Jiantai have no shame, he even sent his army to attack Guangzong. After the city was broken, he hung up the magistrate and whipped him with a horse whip, and even sent his army to plunder...

Li Jiantai, a dignified prime minister, minister and supervisor, attacked his own county in his first battle out of Beijing, massacred the people, and whipped the county magistrate!

This Li Jiantai has such great official authority!

Almost at the same time, Liu Fangliang's army approached Baoding. Ma Dai, the commander-in-chief of Baoding, said to many officials in Baoding:

"The thieves are divided into two groups, one comes out of Guguan, and the other goes to the river, and they are trapped in Baoding. I should go out of Tunli County to kill them, but the thieves are so powerful that they can only survive after putting them to death. I will kill my wife first and then go back. To prove the desire to die!...The city guards belong to all the princes."

After he finished speaking, he personally hacked to death his wife, concubine, daughter, and underage son, a total of 11 people!

Then he asked his two thousand soldiers, all wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety, to Li County, a hundred miles south of Baoding, to carry the Hejian army alone!

This Ma Dai can be called the tragedy of the ages!

And what about Li Jiantai?

The invading army was so powerful that Li Jiantai did not dare to be an enemy and led his army to flee north from Guangzong's abandoned city.

He fled to Baoding Mansion overnight.

As the saying goes, a general is the courage of a soldier. A soldier is as good as a general, and a general is as good as a general.

As soon as Li Jiantai escaped, his army collapsed. At this time, his remaining soldiers were only a few hundred...

Li Jiantai asked again to enter the city.

Shao Zongyuan, the fellow guarding the city gate, and others refused to open the door, so Li Jiantai sent someone to invite the supervising army to normalize the situation.

Fang Zhenghua refused to let him in, so Li Jiantai took out the seal issued by the emperor and showed it to the defenders, claiming that he was the elder of the pavilion and that everyone in Baoding should obey his command.

Shao Zongyuan was furious and stood at the top of the city and cursed:

"Not to mention that you have received great favor from the emperor, when you were leaving, the emperor personally went to Zhengyang Gate, gave you the Shangfang Sword, poured you wine, and bid you farewell. Now you are not going to the west on behalf of the emperor, But do you want to knock on the door to avoid thieves?"

These words stung Li Jiantai. Li Jiantai jumped to his feet and loudly rebuked Shao Zongyuan, and even raised Shang Fang's sword and threatened to kill him.

The majestic Shangfang sword, when it was unsheathed for the first time, was pointed at a loyal minister and good general!

Everyone who heard this scene thought of Mao Wenlong!

The eunuchs Gao Shiming, Li Fengxiang, Chu Xianzhang, Zhang Guoyuan and others who followed Fang Zhenghua to supervise the army did not want to make the matter a big deal, so they let him in...

Otherwise, Li Jiantai might repeat the despicable act of attacking Guangzong again.

The Baoding defenders saved Li Jiantai's life!

However, Li Jiantai didn't want to repay his kindness, and even had bad intentions.

Last night, Li Jiantai took advantage of Fang Zheng, the only governor-general who could suppress him, to descend from the city. He quietly let go of the rope, slid down the city, and went to the camp to surrender.

Early this morning, the Chu army began to attack again. Fang Zhenghua and others were busy defending and had no time to pay attention to whether Li Jiantai was still there.

Unexpectedly, the intruders were attacking the southern city wall, drawing the attention of the defenders to the south. Li Jiantai's hundreds of soldiers killed the Ming army at the north gate, trying to open the door to welcome the thieves.

At the critical moment, Zhang Luojun, last year's newly promoted Jinshi, happened to arrive with hundreds of soldiers wandering around to respond.

Seeing this, Zhang Luojun yelled: "Today is all about death. If anyone dares to surrender, he will have to take my head and I will kill him!"

In real history, Baoding City was defeated by both internal and external forces in this way.

However, in this time and space, Zhu Youjian arrived.

Zhu Youjian pinned down Guo Sheng's troops, who were about to attack the city, creating conditions for Zhang Luojun to annihilate the rebels.

……

Zhang Luojun was covered in blood, but in the cold early spring, he was dripping with sweat, and white mist rose above his head.

Wearing armor, he stepped up to the city gate tower.
