Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tao River.

    Ten thousand elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have arrived, and the general commanding this team has a resounding name:

    Ding Huben!

    The general is named Tiger and Ben, and he is invincible!  The military name is Tiger Ben, and he can fight a hundred battles without danger!

    This name is a kind of confidence and a belief.

    And there is no doubt that these Ming army soldiers already have such confidence and belief!

    Ding Yunyi anticipated the enemy and reached Taohe ahead of Li Zicheng. Now, all he has to do is wait patiently for Li Zicheng's arrival!

    He has fought with Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, but he has never fought face to face with Li Zicheng.  And now this opportunity was placed in front of him.

    Defeat Li Zicheng!  Then his reputation in the minds of the bandits will be unshakable!

    The Tao River, an important tributary of the Yellow River system, is about to become a battlefield between the two armies

    Li Zicheng, who arrived first and then arrived, was helpless when he learned that Ming troops were already stationed in Taohe.  However, I must occupy this place

    The Ming army on the opposite side was neatly dressed and had battle flags. It was different from the Ming army Li Zicheng had seen before.

    Li Zicheng pointed to the opposite side: "Go and see where those officers and soldiers come from!"

    Not long after, Kuaiqi brought Li Zicheng the news he least wanted to hear:

    Ding Yunyi and the troops he commanded!

    Li Zicheng sighed helplessly.

    Why can I see Ding Yunyi everywhere?  Why does Ding Yunyi act like a maggot attached to his bones wherever he goes?  Could it be that this person was born to be the nemesis of the "rebels"?

    When I heard that the officers and soldiers commanded by Ding Yunyi were on the opposite side.  Li Zicheng found that except for Liu Zongmin, most people had a look of fear on their faces, as if they were afraid of whatever they wanted.

    Ding Yunyi¡¯s name has been deeply engraved in the hearts of these people

    "Zong Min!" Li Zicheng calmed down his emotions: "Aren't you looking for Ding Yunyi? Ding Yunyi is right across the street now. Do you have the guts to get his head to me?"

    Liu Zongmin was overjoyed when he heard this: "King Chuang, I am willing!"

    Gao Yigong hurriedly advised from the side: "Chuang Wang, don't make mistakes. I heard that Ding Yunyi is the most powerful general among the officers and soldiers. He fought from the sea to the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains to the border, and he has never been defeated. Now he  Since I arrived here early, I must be prepared, so it¡¯s better to be cautious.¡±

    Why doesn¡¯t Li Zicheng know how powerful it is?  But he had to fight.

    After fighting in Sichuan for such a long time, they failed to capture Chengdu.  On the contrary, he lost a lot of soldiers and horses.  The same is true in Zitong.  The soldiers were very tired and needed a place to rest.

    And what¡¯s even more terrible is that when they heard Ding Yunyi¡¯s name, their subordinates began to feel fear. This happened before the battle started. What will happen next?  He will be defeated like Zhang Xianzhong!

    What Li Zicheng wants to do is to do everything possible to avoid this situation from happening.

    With Liu Zongmin, winning the battle first became the top priority.

    Li Zicheng forced a smile and said: "Although Ding Yunyi is known as the most powerful general among the officers and soldiers, how can Liu Zongmin not be the most powerful general in our rebel army? I think Zong Min can rival him! Zong Min. I will give you a thousand people, you  Go to clash with the enemy and give the officers and soldiers a show of strength first!"

    "Yes!" Liu Zongmin was overjoyed and drew his swords: "Brothers, Ding Yunyi has nothing to be afraid of. You follow me and see how I kill Ding Yunyi until he peees!"

    "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

    Liu Zongmin¡¯s subordinates were originally the most effective fighting force under Li Zicheng. Hearing Liu Zongmin speak so boldly, everyone couldn¡¯t help but cheer loudly.

    "kill!"

    Liu Zongmin shouted loudly and his horse rushed out!

    "Defeat the Tiger Guards. Capture Butcher Ding alive!"

    "Defeat the Tiger Guards and capture Butcher Ding alive!"

    Such shouts rang out from everywhere on the battlefield.

    The shouts also reached Ding Yunyi's ears. He turned around and said with a smile: "How dare the bandits be so bold? Who leads the troops?"

    "Back to the deputy town, it's Liu Zongmin, the number one general under Li Ni Zicheng."

    "Oh, that's Liu Zongmin who knows how to use two swords." Ding Yunyi said casually, "How dare he shout about defeating the Tiger Guards and capturing Butcher Ding alive? Cao Jiuwen!"

    "exist!"

    "How many people do you think are there on the other side?" Ding Yunyi pointed forward.

    Cao Jiuwen looked forward and said, "There are always thousands of people."

    DingYi Yi smiled and said, "You guys are watching here. I will lead the thirty-six cavalry from Taiwan to charge into the formation, kill a hundred people and then return. Do you believe it?"

    Cao Jiuwen was shocked: "The deputy town must not be careless. I have fought against Liu Zongmin. This man is accustomed to wielding two swords and is extremely brave. He has thousands of people. How can the deputy town fight with him with only thirty-six riders?"

    Ding Yunyi laughed: "I regard the bandits as nothing but grass. Even at the border, no matter how ferocious the Jinlu are, I am still nine in and nine out. Can't I kill a hundred of his people today at thirty-six?"

    As he spoke, he said to the knights brought from Taiwan: "Do you have such courage?"

    None of the cavalrymen spoke. They pulled out two swords from their horses, one in their mouths, another in their hands, and a sword hanging from their waists. They made no sound, silently waiting for the arrival of Ding Yunyi's order.

    In the battle of Xinyang in the past, Ding Yunyi's three hundred cavalry and three swordsmen killed Zhang Xianzhong until his blood flowed into a river.  Cao Jiuwen and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had only heard about this before, but they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes today.

    Ding Yunyi laughed loudly: "Today I will charge at the thieves with thirty-six horses. You are all standing here to watch me kill the thieves. If there is anyone who helps, I will kill them all!"

    Ding Yunyi is not reckless, nor does he act out of bloody courage.

    If you want to outnumber the enemy, you must maximize the confidence of your own troops and suppress the enemy's morale to the minimum.  But Li Zicheng's men didn't seem so afraid of him.  Seeing that he was already arrayed here, he still dared to attack like this.

    He must use his own bravery to suppress the other party's arrogance!

    He held the Qianjungan tightly in his hand, patted Benxiao, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Thirty-six riders of Tiger and Ben. If we don't kill them all today, why don't we wait for them to be reckless?"

    Benxiao galloped out, with the thirty-five fast horses behind them unwilling to lag behind, everyone vying for the lead.

    On the opposite side, Liu Zongmin never expected that the officers and soldiers would fight against him with only a few people.

    The Ming army general who rushed to the front was named Mingju.  Holding the treasure, he shouted sharply: "The murderer Ding Yunyi is here!"

    This sound sounded like thunder.  When Liu Zongmin heard that it was actually Ding Yunyi, he was not afraid at all.  Instead, he was in high spirits: "Liu Zongmin is here, butcher Ding, keep your head here today!"

    Seeing that the two armies are getting closer and closer.  Ding Yunyi stared at the opponent, and suddenly Qian Junshan pointed forward.

    Thirty-five sharp knives flew out of his hands.

    A hail of knives came, Liu Zongmin was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it, but there was a scream of pain around him, and the bandits who followed Liu Zongmin and rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another.

    Before they had time to react, the tiger knight took off the knife in his mouth again, and another thirty-five knives flew out!

    The bandit army fell to pieces once again!

    With seventy swords in front and back, he killed dozens of thieves in an instant.

    The thieves were frightened by the fierceness of the tiger and beni cavalry.  But when he saw the thirty-five riders following Ding Yunyi, he drew the third knife from his waist and roared at the same time:

    "kill!"

    "Kill!" This was Liu Zongmin's cry.

    With his cavalry in front and infantry behind, he charged too hard.  As a result, there is a disconnect between front and back, and this is exactly what Ding Yunyi wants to see!

    His goal is only one - Liu Zongmin!

    The two horses got closer and closer. Amidst the roar of the tiger, the strong wind whipped up the thousands of troops.  As soon as he hit Liu Zongmin, he hit him hard.

    Liu Zongmin used his two swords to hold on, then cut off Ding Yunyi with one blow.

    Ding Yunyi actually refused to dodge, turned Qianjun's sword upside down, and swung out his sword again.  Even if Liu Zongmin's knife could hit him, this knife could smash Liu Zongmin's head.

    He relies on the excellent armor on his body. Even if Liu Zongmin does hit himself, he will only be injured.

    Liu Zongmin was so frightened by his desperate fighting style that he quickly parried with two swords, but his momentum had already weakened.

    On the other side of the battlefield, Liu Zongmin's rogue cavalry faced the thirty-five tiger cavalry who crawled out from the dead. Their combat effectiveness was completely different.

    One after another, the rogue cavalry fell to the sword of the tiger warriors.  Amid the blood splattering everywhere, stumps and broken arms continued to fly out.

    Not long after, corpses fell on the battlefield.

    Seeing that the rogue infantry was approaching, Ding Yunyi forced Liu Zongmin back with a few blows, and laughed and said: "Killing a hundred of your people is enough for me. I will leave your head alone today, and I will come back to get it tomorrow!"

    As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, let's go!"

    The Thirty-six Tigers and Ben¡¯s Cavalry came and left quickly. In an instant, only the corpses of the wandering bandits were left on the battlefield.??and the stunned Liu Zongmin.

    Liu Zongmin is the number one general among the rogue bandits, but when he faced Ding Yunyi for the first time, he was almost completely killed by the opponent with more than a hundred of his cavalry

    Thirty-six tigers and benians returned to the formation. More than ten thousand Ming army officers and soldiers who witnessed this feat with their own eyes cheered, and their voices resounded throughout the world.

    Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "How?"

    Cao Jiuwen sighed repeatedly: "The deputy town only used thirty-six cavalry to charge the enemy, killing hundreds of enemies without losing one man or one horse. The deputy town's bravery has been rare in ancient times. I am convinced!"

    Ding Yunyi laughed loudly: "The thieves and bandits were killed by me this time. They will never dare to look at my camp again today. Send an order to all the troops to rebel and eat and drink!"

    "Yes!" At this time, Cao Jiuwen was already sincerely convinced of Ding Yunyi.

    Ding Yunyi turned his eyes, saw the battle flag, suddenly pulled it out, then galloped a hundred paces, thrust the flag on the ground, pointed at the opposite side with his spear and shouted:

    "Now I am setting up a flag here. Anyone who dares to cross this flag will be killed!"

    The sound was like a loud bell, reaching Liu Zongmin¡¯s ears, reaching the ears of those traitor soldiers and also reaching Li Zicheng¡¯s ears.

    They have never fought such a battle, and have never seen such a mighty general.

    Planting a flag to establish authority, and killing anyone who crosses the flag, what kind of spirit is this?

    Li Zicheng only saw those subordinates looking at each other, and no one said anything.  He sighed, knowing that Ding Yunyi was in a killing spree. This flag had frightened his subordinates to death.

    Looking at the battle flag again, there are seven characters written on it:

    The brave and loyal tiger guards!

    Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Since he started his army, although he has also lost battles, he has never fought such a useless battle.

    The enemy charged into the formation with only thirty-six cavalry and killed more than a hundred people before returning. They also set up a flag to demonstrate. None of his subordinates dared to cross the flag.

    Looking forward again, even a brave man like Liu Zongmin under his command hesitated in the face of the flying war flags planted there. He wanted to rush over several times, but the war horses remained motionless.

    Liu Zongmin is afraid, Liu Zongmin is also afraid

    Li Zicheng turned around and said, "How to fight?"

    He only asked these three words, but no one could answer.  After a long while, Gao Yigong finally said bravely: "I have already said that you must not underestimate the enemy against people like Ding Yunyi. Now that the momentum of the officers and soldiers has risen, our army has traveled a long distance and has eaten this one, this one,  Defeated King Chuang, set up camp temporarily and wait for another fight tomorrow"

    Li Zicheng was pondering there, and Liu Zongmin had already rushed back: "King Chuang, Liu Zongmin is unwilling to lose. Please give me more soldiers and horses. I must get this face back!"

    "Forget it, Zong Min." Li Zicheng sighed: "The arrogance of the officers and soldiers is rising now. Now there is no advantage in the conflict. We can tolerate this for the time being and wait until tomorrow to have a good fight with him!"

    Although Liu Zongmin tried his best to fight, Li Zicheng still saw fear in his eyes, which he had never seen before.

    He knew very well that Liu Zongmin¡¯s father committed suicide because the government forced him to pay taxes, and his mother became a beggar, taking Liu Zongmin to beg for food.  Soon, his mother died of cold and starvation, and Liu Zongmin was adopted by his uncle Han Qing. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, Liu Zongmin became a disciple of a blacksmith from Henan who came to Shaanxi and learned the craft of forging iron.  After years of hard work, he became a skilled and famous blacksmith.  In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng led the peasant rebel army to Lantian. Liu Zongmin joined Li Zicheng's troops, fought bravely and made great achievements, winning Li Zicheng's trust and respect.  After Gao Yingxiang's death, when Li Zicheng succeeded King Chuang, Liu Zongmin was already an effective general under King Chuang.

    He followed Li Zicheng on all the battles and served as a vanguard many times. Even if he encountered officers and soldiers much more powerful than him, he was never afraid.

    But now he was really scared. Even though he didn't say it himself, Li Zicheng could tell it.

    But Li Zicheng couldn't break it because he still had to use Liu Zongmin. If even Liu Zongmin couldn't resist Ding Yunyi, who else could be Ding Butcher's opponent?

    Tomorrow, there will be another big battle. At that time, will the rebels be sure to win?  Can they continue to inspire fighting spirit in the face of that murderous man?

    Li Zicheng shook his head. He seemed to have lost confidence.

    It¡¯s too scary, it¡¯s too scary. The person they are facing is accompanying all the rebels like a nightmare. No matter where they go, they can see him.

    And the most terrifying flag on the battlefield:

    The brave and loyal tiger guards!
