The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

The sky is getting darker and the snow is getting bigger and bigger. Although there is still no wind, the cold is still hitting people.Zhang Fan tightened his cotton coat to prevent fine snowflakes from drifting in.Seeing the two hundred cavalry in front of him standing still in the heavy snow, he felt excited.Zhang Fan looked at Wang Degui at the side, and the 50 people behind him.Wang Degui and the 50 people were also extremely excited, but the difference was that the expressions on their faces were filled with joy.Zhang Fan had never experienced some things, and he still couldn't understand why these people showed such enthusiasm for a war that might cost their lives.

"Sergeant Wang, I see you are very happy, why is that?" Zhang Fan asked.

"My lord, I'm naturally happy. When I think of being able to kill the Tartars, I'm not happy!" Wang Degui said happily.

"But you can't go to the battlefield." Zhang Fan was a little puzzled.

"That's okay, as long as we can watch the Tartars get killed, we'll be happy too." Wang Degui said.

It was dark all around, because this time it was an ambush and no one lit a torch.In the darkness, Zhang Fan bowed his head and remained silent. It seems that the people in northern Xinjiang really resented the Tatars to a certain extent.Thanks to the current situation of the Great Ming Dynasty, it is not bad, and it can fight back against the disturbance of the enemy.If it is a weak country, then the people may only have a feeling of fear, and eventually become the slaves of the other party!And this is the most terrifying time for a country, the time when it is about to perish!

The terrain here is conducive to ambush, with high terrain around and low-lying in the middle.A hundred cavalry on both sides have already set up an ambush, and they can encircle immediately as soon as the Tartars enter!Zhang Fan began to think wildly about his first trip to the ancient battlefield: "Maybe the Tatars won't come over later, I'll be happy for nothing. Maybe after a while, we will fight and fight when the Tatar reinforcements arrive, and we will all have fun." It's over. Maybe the tartar on the battlefield will rush over in a hurry..."

Just when Zhang Fan was thinking wildly, news came from ahead that more than a hundred Tatars would soon fall into an ambush trap, and there was no one else within a radius of twenty miles.Zhang Fan also became nervous.People could already be seen in front of them, although they couldn't see clearly in the dark, but the Tartars lit torches when patrolling, so they probably wouldn't have thought that someone would ambush them in this cold winter.

Gradually, the Tartar patrols got closer and closer, and Zhang Fan could already see the expressions on the faces of several Tartars holding torches. From time to time, there were voices and panting sounds of horses in the air.Zhang Fan only felt that his nerves were tense and he couldn't breathe anymore, as if the air around him had been sucked away!The Tartars have stepped into the siege, and the war is about to break out!

"Fire the arrows!" Liu Yong, the leader of the army in front, shouted, and dozens of arrows flew towards the Tartars, and arrows from the left and right sides also shot at the Tartars.But it was cold winter, and they were already wearing thick tartars, and all of them were skilled in bows and horses. After a few rounds of arrow rain, there were only two or three unlucky people who were shot in the thigh and fell to the ground howling.However, shooting arrows is not the main attack method. The Tartars are very good at riding and shooting. Shooting arrows is just to disturb them and prevent them from fighting back with bows and arrows. The real killing move is yet to come.

"Everyone is a good man of Daming, go for me!" Liu Yong shouted, took the lead and rushed out.Of the 30 cavalry in front of Zhang Fan, except for [-] who were still firing arrows to cover the brigade's surprise attack, the rest all charged forward.

The Tartars were well-trained. After the first round of bows and arrows, more than a hundred people immediately drew out their swords and prepared to meet the enemy.When the frontal army was about to rush in front of the Tartars, the men and horses lying in ambush on the left and right also rushed out.Fighting hand to hand, even the dozens of cavalry in front of Zhang Fan who were shooting arrows to cover also drew their swords and rushed over.Wang Degui was also moved for a while, but fortunately Zhang Fan had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he immediately persuaded him.

Hundreds of people fighting in a melee is definitely not what Zhang Fan imagined, twenty moves are fierce and life-threatening.Zhang Fan saw with his own eyes a Tartar cavalry swinging a knife at a Ming soldier who was running towards him, beheading that Ming soldier, and then being stabbed in the chest by two Ming cavalry who followed behind. , the man and the horse fell to the ground, and the body holding the two guns was still alive. After being dragged for a certain distance, he was thrown aside and stopped moving.

Zhang Fan felt a different feeling in himself.Seeing murder for the first time is not as unacceptable as described in many novels.After all, this is not killing people in the market place or something. This is a battlefield where the two armies are fighting, and it can even be said that the two countries are at war.In this kind of situation where it's either you die or I die, killing the enemy will not only keep him alive, but also protect the country's security and keep his loved ones safe. Zhang Fan felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the blood was spilled on the ground, melting the thick snow, but it was soon covered by the blood floating down from the sky.The fight ahead is still going on, and the Ming army is very obvious, the more they fight, the more courageous they are, but the number of Tartars is getting smaller and smaller, and the more they fight, the more timid they are.Seeing that they were invincible, the Tatars broke through the encirclement by patting the way that more than ten people had come from, but the Ming army knew that there were their own people guarding there, so they didn't chase them, they just looked at their customers.The Tartars, who were not many at all, were unable to contend with the Ming army, and were surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside.The three generals who led the troops seemed to be the same as the sergeants under them, they were all jealous of killing, and they killed all the besieged Tartars regardless of Liu Jinquan's order to keep a few alive.Liu Yong sent scouts to inform Zhou Biao who was standing in front, and the army was waiting here.

At the moment, the Liberty Soldiers swept the battlefield and found the bodies of the dead compatriots. Those whose heads were in different places were recovered, and the unmanned war horses were also brought back to the army.

"Zhang Zhubo." Liu Yong rode his horse to Zhang Fan's side and said with cupped fists.

"General Liu." Zhang Fan replied, looking at the distant battlefield in silence.

"Isn't it the first time Master Bo is on the battlefield? How do you feel?" Liu Yong asked.

"At the beginning of the battle, although I didn't charge to kill the enemy, I still felt the joy in my heart?" Zhang Fan said sincerely.

"Is Master Bo not feeling well?" Liu Yong was a little puzzled. Some of the literati he met in the past, when they saw the battle on the battlefield, they all turned pale with fright, and some knelt down and vomited.I thought this Zhang Zhubo was young and would not be immune, but it turned out to be this scene.

"Why? What I saw next is that the Ming army killed those enemies who tried to invade our country. Killing these people can protect the family and the country. Why do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhang Fan said as a matter of course.

"...haha..." Liu Yong was taken aback when he heard Zhang Fan's words, and then he laughed heartily, "It's a pity that Master Bo didn't join the army! Many soldiers would feel a little unhappy when they go to battle for the first time. I didn't expect Master Bo to A giant born, but so bold!"

"I'm ashamed and ashamed, but I didn't go to battle. And if I say I'm not afraid at all, it's a lie." Zhang Fan said.

While the two were talking, a soldier came to report: "My lord, my lord, this time our army wiped out 87 enemies, and let the Tartars escape more than ten people. More than ten brothers were slightly injured. Bandage them up." That's enough, there are seven other people who were seriously injured and couldn't fight anymore, but they are not life-threatening. In addition..." Speaking here, the soldier paused, "The other three brothers... died."

"Bury the dead brothers on the spot, this is the place where they died in battle!" Liu Yong sighed angrily, and said, "The wounded brothers asked the brothers to take good care of them. I pulled back the dead brothers and the war horses of the Tartars. As for the body of the Tartar... just put it where it is, and don't need to move."

Zhang Fan watched the soldier leave, and said to Liu Yong: "General Liu, put the Tartar's body here, aren't you afraid that other Tartars will find out and reveal our whereabouts?"

Liu Yong looked up at the heavy snow falling in the sky, and said, "Master Bo, don't worry. Looking at the weather, the heavy snow will bury their bodies in a short time. The snow here will last for a few months at a time, and it won't be until next year." It won’t stop after the beginning of spring.”

Another man came from the front, and Zhang Fan saw that it was Zhou Biao leading two hundred cavalrymen and more than ten people tied up and coming this way.Zhou Biao came to Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan, greeted Zhang Fan first, and then asked Liu Yong about the situation of the war.After listening to Liu Yong's report, he said: "I waited for a long time in front, but half of the reinforcements from the Tartars didn't see it, and I just waited until these dozen or so remnants were defeated. It's so uncomfortable!"

"My lord is joking!" Liu Yong said, suddenly thinking of the order Liu Jinquan gave him, and said, "Before leaving, my lord told me to keep a few survivors. My brothers are jealous and forget about it. Fortunately, General Zhou Can captured these Tartars, otherwise General Liu Can’t explain it to me, it’s not good if it delays General Liu Can’s event!”

"Hmph, you don't have to flatter me!" Zhou Biao said, "I didn't go up to fight, or I probably couldn't help it."

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, packed up and retreated to the place where the army was stationed.

The 50 people led by Wang Degui have been following Zhang Fan all the time. Although they didn't go to the battlefield, they all looked like they had been beaten with blood, with excited expressions on their faces.Zhang Fan looked at the soldiers who returned with laughter and laughter, and then at the battlefield that was gradually moving away. The heavy snow had already covered the Tartars in the field with violent corpses.Zhang Fan secretly sighed, a gust of wind blew, bringing cold air into his loosened collar, Zhang Fan shivered for a while, it seemed that the day was even colder!
