Chapter 1 The General Army of Datong
The sky is covered with clouds.
Under the dark sky, the wind roared and the grass and trees were bleak.
"Kala!"
A dazzling lightning flashed across the sky and illuminated the earth.
Wang Pu looked up at the sky, his face becoming solemn as ever. Is it really going to rain?
"Hurry, push the chariot up."
"The iron piles are strong."
"Don't let me be lazy and say you are not having lunch?"
With angry curses and scoldings, Wang Pu looked around, 20,000 Ming soldiers were squatting in the wilderness, and the strong chariots were pushed to the periphery. Archers were tidying up arrows in the pot expressionlessly. Musketeers and gunmen were busy filling the gun barrels with fire lead balls. There were also rows of gunmen sitting on the ground and closed their eyes to rest. The air was filled with the tension before the war.
"Xilulu..."
A loud neighing sound suddenly sounded in the distance.
Wang Pu looked back in shock, and the dazzling lightning illuminated the earth again, and a horse appeared on the bare ridge in the distance, like a ghost.
The knight on the horse was covered with iron armor, with an iron helmet on his head. The iron armor and iron helmet were bright yellow as the background, and there was a bunch of high-rise tassels on the helmet, which was red like blood. The knight raised the sabre in his hand and led it forward, and thousands of cavalry emerged from behind him, with bright yellow armor and bright red edges.
"It's Jiannu!"
"Jiannu is here!"
Warnings sounded one after another in the Ming army formation. Archers, musketeers and gunners quickly began to line up and prepare to shoot. The spearmen resting on the ground also stood up in chaos. With the generals' shouts, they entered the back of the chariot array and began to line up. The generals' angry shouts, the sound of soldiers' gasps and the sound of weapons hitting each other, and the cold and murderous aura spread out like poisonous weeds.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
A horn suddenly sounded on the ridge in the distance.
Amid the desolate and distant horns, the leading cavalry Jiannu led the saber in his hand forward, and the thousands of Jiannu cavalry behind him were like a flood that broke the dike and rolled forward.
"Archive preparation."
The Jiannu cavalry came in full force, and the Ming soldiers were not afraid of it.
Seeing that the Jiannu cavalry was about to enter the range of artillery fire, the Ming army soldiers were about to ignite the lead of artillery when heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky with hail. The heavy rain ruthlessly wet the lead and extinguished the fuse in the hands of the Ming army soldiers. Not only did the powerful Red Cannon become a decoration, but the firearms of the musketeers also became fire sticks.
God won’t help me to be in the Ming Dynasty!
What's worse is that the dim sky and white raindrops seriously affected the vision of the Ming army's archers. They could not see the gestures of the generals and could only fight on their own. The arrows shot out were blocked by the triple block of * and hail, and their lethality was seriously weakened and they could not cause substantial damage to the strong iron armor of the Jiannu cavalry.
The sky is trembling and the earth is trembling.
Amid the sound of iron hooves, tens of thousands of cavalry of Jiannu cavalry had rushed to the Ming army formation. The cunning Jiannu cavalry did not directly attack the solid chariot formation, but instead circled the huge formation of the Ming army, constantly shooting the Ming army soldiers behind the chariots with bows and arrows. The Ming army soldiers lacked the protection of iron armor and fell down in rows.
"call out."
Amid the shrill sound of breaking through the air, a sharp arrow shot through the throat of a Ming soldier. The soldier's thin body suddenly paused, and then fell straight down. Not far away, another tall Ming army rushed forward and helped the arrow-crawler soldier up and hugged him tightly in his arms. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Miss, push me! Be sure to hold on!"
The little three's eyes were dull and could never speak.
"Missar, don't die, you can't die." Ming Jun shook the mistress who had died frantically and burst into tears, "Mom told me to bring you back to Datong, ahhhh..."
The mistress's body gradually became stiff, and Ming Jun finally knew that he could no longer awaken his brother.
"Kill Jiannu, who kills thousands of swords, I will fight with you!"
The Ming army suddenly stood up, roared to the sky, then rushed to the chariot several steps, and then rushed to the chariot, then rushed from the chariot like a hungry tiger pounced on the chariot toward the Jiannu cavalry running past the formation.
"Puff."
With a dull sound, the Ming army had already collided with Jiannu.
The two hugged each other and fell from the horse's back, and fell heavily to the ground. After landing, Jiannu did not move any more. Long before landing, Mingjun bit off the general's throat. Mingjun sat up from Jiannu's body and laughed wildly. There was clearly red blood flowing on his white teeth, as hideous as a devil.
“Hululu.”
Amid the deep breath of war horses, another Jiannu came from behind. The mace of more than 100 kilograms hit the Ming army's back. The Ming army suddenly shook the strong body of the general and then fell down straight.
After half an hour of fierce battle, Jiannu finally destroyed the Ming army's chariot formation and rushed into the formation from more than a dozen gaps at the same time, trying to destroy the Ming army's final stubborn resistance. The Ming army's spearmen who were ready to fight were swarming up and blocked the gap with their bodies. This is the plain in western Liaoning. Once the Ming army loses the protection of the chariot formation, they will become lambs that are allowed to be slaughtered by the Jiannu cavalry.
The war horses were neighing, the soldiers were roaring, and the entire battlefield was like boiling boiling water, surging and rolling.
Wang Pu rode on the white horse and watched all this coldly. He was not originally from this world, but an accident brought him back to ancient times.
Wang Pu graduated from a third-rate university six years ago.
Because he couldn't find a job, Wang Pu became a gangster who was not doing his job properly. With his skill and ruthless style of practice since childhood, Wang Pu quickly became famous on the road and had his own territory.
The matter starts three days ago.
Three days ago, Wang Pu led his brothers to fight with another group of gangsters, but he ended up getting hit by an iron stick in his head and then he didn't know anything.
When Wang Pu woke up again, he found himself lying on the green grass, and a group of soldiers wearing ancient battle robes surrounded him like stars arching the moon. Wang Pu almost thought he was in heaven.
Later, Wang Pu realized that he was dead in the original world, but his soul traveled to the 14th year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty and possessed an ancient man who might have just died.
The ancient man had a surname of Wang, and his name was also homophoned with Pu, and his name was Wang Pu.
Wang Pu, 24 years old, general of Datong Town, the Ming Empire.
If you think that Wang Pu is a general, Hu Zi and a young man joining the army, and has accumulated merits and promoted to the general because of his bravery and good combat, then you would be very wrong. In fact, Wang Pu's general was bought with money. This guy is actually a playboy who is greedy for life and fears death.
Wang Pu's father Wang Dayou is the richest man in Shanxi. Because the Wang family was rich but not powerful, he suffered too much loss from the government, so he spent money to buy a Datong Prefecture inspector for his second son Wang Hua, and a Datong Town Guerrilla for his third son Wang Pu.
Unexpectedly, Wang Pu is really lucky.
Three years ago, in the autumn of the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), a few days after Wang Pu became a guerrilla general, Dorgon, Prince Rui of the Qing Dynasty, led 100,000 Qing troops into the pass and plundered. Emperor Chongzhen ordered the troops of the nine-sided towns to go to the capital to serve the king. Although Wang Pu was afraid of death, he had no choice but to follow Lu Xiang, the governor of the three-sided side, to go to the capital.
In the battle of Julu, Lu Xiangsheng died on the battlefield. Wang Pu, who hid in the ditch, was lucky enough to escape his life, gained the reputation of being "brave and good at fighting" with the few Qing Dynasty braids he picked up. All the civil and military officials of the court submitted recommendations. Emperor Chongzhen was very happy and waved his pen and promoted Wang Pu from Datong guerrilla to the general of Datong Town.
Two months ago, Liaodong was in an emergency, and Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned the generals of Datong, Miyun and Xuanfu towns to rush for help.
Three days ago, when Wang Pu led an army of 20,000 to Lianshan, a tiger suddenly emerged from the weeds next to the official road, and several people were injured. Wang Pu's mount was also frightened and ran all the way and finally fell off the cliff with his riders. Wang Pu died and was resurrected, but Wang Pu who survived was no longer the original Wang Pu.
That's how it is. This is the whole process of Wang Pu coming to this world.
As for the fierce battle in front of him, Wang Pu led the army to marches to Songshan by a large group of Jiannu cavalry. Due to the influence of the weather, the Ming army's firearms were difficult to exert their power, and the situation was already in danger.
"General!"
The shrill voice brought Wang Pu's thoughts back to reality.
Wang Pu lowered his head, and Deputy General Zhao Wuzhu had already stumbled toward his horse and said tragically: "Brothers can't stand it anymore."
"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it." Wang Pu said coldly, "Tell your brothers that if you want to survive, you have to fight your life!"
"yes."
Zhao Wuzhu responded sternly and turned around.
I don't know when the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated. Wang Puyou looked around and saw Jiannu cavalry wearing bright yellow armor launching crazy attacks on the Ming army from more than a dozen gaps. Although the Ming army soldiers tried their best to resist, they still retreated step by step and were about to be unable to withstand it.
"General, let's break through quickly." Xiao Qice, the confidant general, stepped forward and said loudly, "If Jiannu breaks down the outer line of our army, it will be too late."
"Nonsense!" Wang Pu shouted sternly, "Now the brothers are all suffocating. If you order to break through at this time, your brothers will be defeated as if they are relieved."
Xiaoqi said: "But if this continues, it will only be a dead end."
"Don't hurry, wait a little longer." Wang Pu's eyes crossed the Jiannu cavalry and threw them into the valley in the distance, saying, "Our reinforcements should be coming soon."
Songshan City is not far ahead. Such a large war cannot be concealed from the Ming army's exploration. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Ming Ji Liao Dynasty who was in Songshan, must have received the news. As long as you persist for a while, there will definitely be a large army to come and pick it up.
Sure enough, the horn of the Ming army sounded not long after.
Amid the endless sound of trumpets, the black Ming army had already rushed out from behind the ridge in the north. At the front were thousands of Ming cavalry. The rushing iron hooves trampled on the muddy ground, splashing mud all over the sky. The rumbling iron hooves stormed and rolled between the sky, deafening. The Ming army soldiers and Jiannu who were fighting desperately looked north at the same time.
"Reinforcements!"
"It's our Ming Dynasty reinforcements!"
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. Kill them all, kill these damn Jiannu!"
The arrival of reinforcements greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army. The defense line that was about to collapse became as solid as a rock again. Several Ming troops even turned to counterattack and drove out the Jiannu cavalry who had advanced into the formation. After knowing that the Jiannu, who could not get any advantage, quickly began to retreat. When the vanguard of the Ming army arrived at the battlefield, the last cavalry of the Jiannu cavalry had already crossed the southern ridge.
