Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The night attack on Jiahuling was a great victory!

    When the morning sun reluctantly spreads to Jiahuling, the fighting has stopped

    There are corpses on the ground, and Jiahuling has been stained red with blood.  Those who were not completely dead were wailing in a pool of blood, trying to get someone to help them.

    Out of the 800 Ming army, 123 people were killed and 237 wounded, 819 level bandits were beheaded, and more than 7,000 people were captured.

    So, a wonder appeared in Jiahuling:

    Hundreds of exhausted officers and soldiers were guarding thousands of people, but those thousands of prisoners sat there in groups, not daring to move.

    When Xiong Wencan personally led the main force to Jiahuling, he and his men were completely shocked by the scene.

    When he finally saw Ding Yunyi, it took him a long time to sigh: "Five thousand people against one hundred thousand people, for three days and three nights without losing an inch of ground, beheaded countless people; eight hundred people attacked tens of thousands of bandits, beheaded and captured ten times more  As for me, those who have used soldiers like gods throughout the ages are probably no more than this, right?"

    "The Commander-in-Chief praised me a lot, but Ding Yunyi succeeded by luck." Ding Yunyi, who was covered in blood, didn't care much about his record: "It's a pity that the thief who ran away first offered his loyalty, and he couldn't fulfill his role, so he asked the Commander-in-Chief to punish him.  "

    How did Xiong Wencan know the real situation: "Why should deputy town Ding be so humble? The deputy town's troops are not inferior to any famous generals. Zhang Xianzhong lost his troops and lost his generals like this. His rear team Liu Wenxiu was also defeated. At this time, he was already a frightened bird. This time he fled into  Hubei, I think this traitor can be defeated.¡±

    "Commander, please take a step to speak."

    Inviting Xiong Wencan aside, Ding Yunyi whispered: "How are the commander-in-chief planning to pursue Zhang Xianzhong?"

    Xiong Wencan had no time to think.  He blurted out: "He was defeated once at Nanyang, twice at Jiahuling, and Liu Wenxiu at the rear was defeated three times. With these three defeats, Zhang Xianzhong's troops were reduced by 30%. He ran out of food all the way to Hubei. Countless people would be scattered on the road.  I estimate that the rogue bandit has no more than 40,000 to 50,000 troops at this time, so I can attack Zhang with my newly victorious division."

    "Forcing the tiger into a desperate situation, the tiger will fight back." Ding Yunyi said in a low voice.  Seeing Xiong Wencan stunned for a moment, Ding Yunyi said what he was thinking:

    "I thought that when Zhang Xianzhong entered Hubei this time, he would definitely go straight to Gucheng. Luo Nirucai had already captured Yunyang. One of them was in Gucheng and the other in Yunyang. They responded to each other and combined their forces there were 70,000 to 80,000 people.  , if the officers and soldiers suppress them fiercely, and the bandits fight to the death, even if the commander-in-chief can win, it will be a lose-lose situation, and it will be very troublesome if Li Zicheng comes to rescue again. "

    Xiong Wencan gradually understood the meaning of his words: "Is your idea to recruit them?"

    "That's right, it's better to suppress than to appease!" Ding Yunyi nodded slightly: "Zhang Xianzhong is at the end of his rope. If forced, he will fight to the death. But if we go to recruit troops at this time, Zhang Ni will surrender!"

    Xiong Wencan thought there for a while.  There was some hesitation: "Deputy Town Ding, this idea is feasible, but Zhang Xianzhong excavated the imperial tomb, and the Holy Emperor hated this person the most. Besides, Yang Bingbu also said that only Luo Ru can be pardoned. Zhang Xianzhong is difficult to forgive, because he is afraid that the superiors will not agree to it."  "

    "Don't worry about it." Ding Yunyi already had a plan in mind: "The Holy One hates Zhang Xianzhong, but compared with pacifying the bandits as soon as possible, the hatred of the imperial tomb being dug is nothing. As for Yang Bingbu Supervisor  Shuai, even if he annihilated Zhang Xianzhong with heavy losses, the credit would only go to Yang Bingbu, but if he successfully recruits Zhang Xianzhong, it will be different. The commander-in-chief can immediately attack Li Zicheng, and Li Ni can defeat him.  Yes, the merits of the commander-in-chief should be regarded as the best in China!"

    These words touched Xiong Wencan¡¯s heart.

    Yang Sichang is the Minister of the Ministry of War. He also holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is controlled by Yang Sichang.  This strategy of "four squares, six corners, and ten sides of the net" was planned by Yang Sichang. When the bandits were eliminated, Yang Sichang took the first credit.

    But if he follows Ding Yunyi's plan and successfully recruits Zhang Xianzhong while he is weak, and then joins forces to pursue Li Zicheng, his achievements will surpass Yang Sichang's in the blink of an eye.

    Xiong Wencan¡¯s heart was moved

    After thinking about it carefully for a while, Hu Er said with a smile: "Deputy Town Ding, not only are you the bravest of the three armies, but you are also more resourceful than anyone else. Anyway, I will follow your instructions and send someone to appease Zhang Xianzhong."

    Ding Yunyi smiled lightly.

    At this time, his mentality was completely different from when he first came here.  He remembered that he repeatedly advised Chongzhen that bandits such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong must be killed and must not be appeased.  But in exchange for his loyalty, Chongzhen was suspicious of himself, restraining himself and guarding against himself at every turn.

    He hunted down bandits everywhere, guarded Taiwan for the Ming Dynasty, and fought bloody battles in Europe and the West, but Chongzhen established Zhang Kentang for himself in addition to Zheng Zhilong.Such an enemy, and even sent Lu Qicheng to monitor him.

    If the bandits are really eliminated, then Chongzhen will be free to deal with himself.  But as long as the bandits are still there, Chongzhen will still need him.  We and Taiwan must be as stable as Mount Tai.

    Ding Yunyi changed from killing bandits to protecting bandits.  Sometimes, one can even say that one's own fate is closely related to that of the bandits.

    "Report! Li Zicheng failed to rush into Chengdu and retreated to Zitong. He is fighting fiercely with the commander-in-chief Zuo Guangxian and Cao Bianjiao. Commander Hong implores Commander Xiong to immediately divide his troops to reinforce Weinan!"

    The sudden battle report made Xiong Wencan and Ding Yunyi put aside their thoughts. Xiong Wencan pondered there: "Deputy Town Ding, Commander Hong requested reinforcements, so I had to divide my troops. In this way, I will lead the main force to Hubei and transfer you 10,000 elite troops.  You rush to Weinan to join forces with Commander Hong."

    "Yes!" Ding Yunyi responded loudly.

    Xiong Wencan was a little uneasy: "Deputy Town Ding, I know that back in Yingzhou, Commander-in-Chief Hong was unable to provide reinforcements, leaving you to fight bloody battles alone. This is a thorn in your heart. But now is the time to wipe out the bandits and bring peace to the world."  Opportunities, don¡¯t delay important court affairs because of personal grudges"

    "Please don't worry, Commander." Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I can still tell which is more important. Yun Yi will never miss the important task of suppressing bandits because of some personal grudges."

    "It's the best!" Xiong Wencan cheered up: "I'll say goodbye now, Deputy Town Ding. You came up with such a plan for me, and I'll keep it in mind. There will definitely be a chance to repay you in the future. You go and choose 10,000 elite soldiers."  , I¡¯ll see you after our victory!¡±

    "Take care, Commander-in-Chief!"

    This expedition is very different from the previous one.  The last time Ding Yunyi fought bloody battles with hundreds of soldiers under Hong Chengchou, but this time he had the support of Yang Sichang behind him.  Xiong Wencan was grateful to him again, and the 10,000 elite soldiers became the guarantee for Ding Yunyi's victory.

    And what was even more unexpected was when we arrived in Weinan.  Hong Chengchou actually expressed his welcome to himself in a very special way

    Ten thousand carefully selected soldiers were in high spirits and rushed towards Weinan day and night.

    If they had only heard of Ding Yunyi¡¯s reputation before.  Well, this time they saw it with their own eyes.  In the Battle of Nanyang, Ding Huben killed Zhang Xianzhong and was defeated, and even almost captured Zhang Xianzhong alive at Jiahuling.

    Fighting with such a general, victory is just a normal thing that can come every day.

    "Deputy town, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, will personally lead his troops and go out ten miles from the camp to greet him!"

    When Hou Lu, who was scouting the road ahead, came to report, Ding Yunyi smiled and said to Huangfu Yunjie: "Huangfu, your old boss is here."

    Huangfu Yunjie looked very calm: "Deputy Town, Commander Hong is my old boss. But Huangfu has been under the deputy town for a long time, and he is a member of my Hu Ben Guard whether he lives or dies. Besides"

    He sighed softly: "In the battle of Yingzhou, I, Hou Lu, and Fan Xiaotian all followed the deputy town. We fought bloody and almost died, but the reinforcements were delayed. The three of us will never forget that incident.  "

    Ding Yunyi nodded silently.  The bloody battle alone was too harmful to survivors like Huangfu Yunjie, although the responsibility did not lie with Hong Chengchou.  However, as the governor of the three sides, Huangfu Yunjie and others stubbornly believed that this tragedy happened because Hong Chengchou refused to rescue.

    "It's over, don't think about it anymore." Ding Yunyi was in a daze: "After all, he is still the governor of the three sides, and he is still your former boss. Don't show your dissatisfaction. You can vent it any way you want after we get home.  "

    These words cheered up people like Huangfu Yunjie.

    Taiwan is my home; my belonging is no longer here!

    From a distance, they saw Hong Chengchou and a large number of his subordinates. Ding Yunyi and Huangfu Yunjie looked at each other, suddenly laughed, and galloped away there on horseback.

    As soon as they saw Hong Chengchou, Ding Yunyi and others got off their horses and said, "How could you be so virtuous? How dare you go out ten miles from the camp to meet him!"

    Having not seen Hong Chengchou for so long, Ding Yunyi found that he was getting old too. The power of the Central Plains bandits was huge, and it affected the commander's heart all the time.

    Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Ding Huben, the thief-breaker, is here. How can I, Hong, not come out to greet him?"

    He pointed at Ding Yunyi and said: "This man, some of you are old acquaintances with him, you have known him since you were in Xinyang, but some of you have only heard of his name. Do you know who he is? He is Zhan Zhan.  Xinyang, bloody Yingzhou, captured the counterfeit rebel Wang Gao Yingxiang alive, made nine entrances and exits at the border, and killed Wu Liebo Ding Yunyi, who returned in a disastrous defeat! "

    "We have met Wu Liebo!"

    Those generals, deputy generals, and staff generals all shouted loudly:Tao.

    "Why should the Commander-in-Chief be so polite?" Ding Yunyi said hurriedly: "Some small victories are just a lucky success relying on the power of the Holy God. The Commander-in-Chief fought bloody battles with bandits and worked hard, that is the real pillar. The last time Yun Yi was under the Commander-in-Chief,  I have learned a lot. I am excited to follow the Commander-in-Chief again this time. I hope the Commander-in-Chief will not dislike me because of Ding Yunyi¡¯s vulgarity.¡±

    Hong Chengchou blinked, and he suddenly realized that Ding Yunyi was a little different from the past.

    During the bloody battle in Yingzhou, the Ming army failed to rescue, resulting in Ding Yunyi suffering heavy casualties. Although this had nothing to do with Hong Chengchou, in the end the commander-in-chief of the rescue of the Ming army was still Hong Chengchou.

    This time Hong Chengchou heard that Ding Yunyi was back and that Xiong Wencan used him as the main reinforcement. He knew that if he wanted to wipe out the bandits, Ding Yunyi's bravery was absolutely indispensable.  How to eliminate Ding Yunyi's Yingzhou knot has become the first issue to consider.  That's why Hong Chengchou personally led his men out of the camp ten miles away to meet such a drama.

    But what I never expected was that Ding Yunyi seemed not to care at all, as if he had completely forgotten what happened in Yingzhou.

    Why?  Did he really forget, or was he deliberately hiding his emotions?

    Hong Chengchou calmed down and said with a smile: "Since Deputy Town Ding is here this time, the thieves can be defeated overnight. Deputy Town Ding, please go to the camp to rest first, and then you and I will discuss the matter of defeating the thieves."

    Ding Yunyi said loudly: "Yun Yi shoulders heavy responsibilities and the commander-in-chief works hard day and night. How dare Yun Yi rest?"

    "Okay, okay!" Hong Chengchou laughed and actually took Ding Yunyi's hand: "Let's go, let's go back to the camp together."

    Hong Chengchou¡¯s subordinates all looked at each other in confusion. The commander-in-chief actually took Ding Yunyi¡¯s hand and showed such intimacy?  In the past, I heard that they were a little bit nasty to each other because of the Yingzhou incident, but judging from their performance today, that was not the case at all.

    As soon as they arrived at the camp, Hong Chengchou led the generals to the tent. He was no longer polite and went straight to the point: "Everyone, Deputy Town Ding defeated Zhang Ni Xianzhong again in Nanyang this time. Eight hundred riders set up an ambush in Jiahu Ridge. We almost missed him."  Zhang Xianzhong was captured alive. Now that Zhang has fled upstream to Hubei, his power has declined and there is no need to worry about it. Our main opponent is Li Zicheng. "

    He pointed to the map as he spoke: "Currently, Li Zicheng is in Sichuan. He has been attacking Chengdu for several days without success. In Zitong and Zuo Guangxian, Cao Bianjiao fought continuously, but also lost more than he won. I want to take advantage of this opportunity.  The troops marched into Sichuan to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng. What do you think?"

    No one among the generals stood up to answer. Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "What do you think, Vice-President Ding?"

    Ding Yunyi stood up and said: "Commander Commander, I think that with Zuo Guangxian and the two generals of Cao Bianjiao, we can defeat the enemy Li Zicheng. Li Ni will not have any advantage in Sichuan, and it is not his hometown. It will be disadvantageous for a long war."  , Li Ni will inevitably withdraw from Sichuan. And if the commander-in-chief enters Sichuan in large numbers at this time, but alerts Li Ni and causes him to flee, then our plan to annihilate Li Ni in one fell swoop will be much more difficult."

    "As soon as Deputy Town Ding opened his mouth, I benefited a lot from him." Although Hong Chengchou was opposed, he was not dissatisfied at all: "So, what should Deputy Town Ding think?"

    "Intercept Li Ni in Shaanxi!" Ding Yunyi said without any hesitation: "Li Ni was defeated repeatedly in Sichuan, so he must have fled back to Shaanxi again. The commander-in-chief and his troops were well-fed. Li Ni's newly defeated division had to travel a long distance again. The commander-in-chief  Why not just wait for work in Shaanxi and defeat the bandit army in full force? "

    ¡°Okay, Deputy Ding¡¯s words are wonderful!¡±

    Hong Chengchou was overjoyed when he heard this: "I am waiting for work in Shaanxi, annihilating all the rebels, and the Central Plains will be determined in one battle. Everyone, the time has come to serve the imperial court, establish meritorious services, and clear up the Central Plains!"

    "We are willing to fight with the commander-in-chief!" The generals stood up and shouted loudly.

    Ding Yunyi smiled and shouted loudly along with the generals.
