Chapter 278 The temptation to leave a name in history

Originally, Qi Zhen had reservations about Wang Yangming, the commander of the three armies, who would personally go out and charge forward.

Although Wang Yangming looked very relaxed wearing armor weighing tens of catties and holding a spear nearly a hundred catties in his hand, it wasn't that he was powerless as he imagined.

But regarding Wang Yangming's strength, the people in Qi Zhen's army had no idea.

However, in the face of Wang Yangming's insistence, even Shen Buyi's civil servants were unable to persuade Wang Yangming to change his decision. Naturally, Qi Zhen and others had little ability to change Wang Yangming's mind.

The only thing that can be done is to guard Wang Yangming's side and try to ensure Wang Yangming's safety as much as possible.

After all, Wang Yangming is also the commander of the three armies. Although he said to charge into the battle, as long as the guards are strong and he is careful when charging, there is no need to worry about any accidents.

But what Qi Zhen didn't expect was that when Wang Yangming led the army to charge, he ordered to raise his commander's flag high.

This startled Qi Zhen, the handsome flag was extremely eye-catching among the army.

It can be said that the commander-in-chief flag is where the head of an army is located. During the battle between the two armies, the commander-in-chief or general of the army is mostly in the middle army. With the protection of a large army, he is not afraid to raise the commander-in-chief flag.

But when charging into the battle, very few people would raise the banner high to attract the siege of the enemy.

After all, for some strong generals in the army, the favorite thing to do is to take the head of the local general among thousands of troops, but it is not easy to find the location of the opposing general when there are many soldiers and horses. They all rely on the location of the handsome flag as their goal.

Under such circumstances, Wang Yangming ordered to raise the commander's flag high, which made it clear that he was exposing himself to the sight of the Tatars.

But if the Tatar coach is not a fool, he will definitely notice where Wang Yangming is. It will be strange if the Tatars don't send someone to deal with Wang Yangming.

Qi Zhen wanted to persuade Wang Yangming at that time, but as soon as he spoke, Wang Yangming smiled and shook his head at Qi Zhen, saying that he just wanted to use the handsome flag to attract the Tatar general to come.

The expression on Qi Zhen's face at that time was very wonderful.

Seeing the banner of the Tatar general heading towards them now, Qi Zhen couldn't help but think of Wang Yangming's calm face not long ago, as if everything was under his control.

Looking at the Tatar general who was about to charge towards him, Qi Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with brilliance.

Although he doesn't know how strong Wang Yangming is, Qi Zhen will definitely risk his life to protect Wang Yangming's safety.

With such a thought flashing through his mind, Qi Zhen faintly drove forward to protect Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming saw Qi Zhen's reaction in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.However, Wang Yangming's eyes fell on Ulus Borot who was waving a scimitar and roaring.

A few strong men in armor around Ulus Borot exuded a vicious aura all over their bodies, and they looked like strong generals in the army.

As the son of Dayan Khan, Urus Borot is not weak among the Tatars, and there are many strong men who rely on Urus Borot's command.

This time, Urus Borot was valued by Dayan Khan, and he was cut off. Therefore, Urus Borot is also a good player under his command, and he dare not be careless in the slightest.

Although it is definitely a great achievement to succeed after the break, it is also full of dangers.

Now that Urus Borot is looking at the banner of the coach of the Ming army that is getting closer, Urus Borot can't help laughing at the few confidantes beside him: "Mont, Tusanko , wait for you to shoot together with me, if you can shoot and kill the commander of the Ming army with one arrow, this prince will definitely give you a big reward."

Montt and Tusanko, who were named by Urus Borot, are the sharpshooters under Urus Borot's command. They are also known as eagle archers on the grassland, and their archery skills are superb.

After listening to Urus Borot's words, Montgomery and Tusanko looked at each other, and excitement flashed in their eyes.

The two of them are not fools either, they took refuge under Urus Borot's command to win glory and wealth, how could the two not know that if they could really shoot and kill the coach of the Ming army, let alone Urus Borot His Royal Highness Prince Luo Te will reward them heavily, and Dayan Khan will also reward them heavily.

And relying on their superb marksmanship skills, the two thought they could easily kill Wang Yangming, so they were extremely excited, and immediately said to Ulus Borot: "Your Highness, don't worry, the last general He must be shot on the spot."

As they spoke, the two looked at each other, with a hint of tit-for-tat in their eyes.

On the other hand, when Ulus Borot saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, provoking the two to be competitive, which was his intention.

Now just looking at the high fighting spirit of the two of them, Ulus Borot didn't need to think about it and knew that once the two of them made a move, they would definitely do their best.

In Urus Borot's view, Wang Yangming was being targeted by Montgomery and Tusanko, so there was only one dead end waiting for Wang Yangming.

Following the charge of Urus Borot and others, if you look down from the high sky, you will find that the armies of the two sides have collided together, and the armies are fighting in one place, causing a bloody storm.

The same two big flags represent that the flags of the main generals of both sides are approaching at an extremely fast speed.

When the distance between the two sides was more than ten zhang, Mengtuo and Tusangke, who had already waited impatiently, shot deadly arrows with bows and arrows in unison.

Originally, with their abilities, they could hit the target even if they were farther apart, but in order to ensure a hit, the two resisted the urge to make a move, and waited until the distance was closer before they did it.

Two arrows rushed towards Wang Yangming like lightning, and a flash of light flashed in the eyes of Wang Yangming who was galloping.

With Wang Yangming's spirit formula, the breath was locked by two sharpshooters. If Wang Yangming couldn't feel it, he wouldn't be praised by Li Huan.

"Governor, be careful!"

Although Qi Zhen said he was on guard, he couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when he saw the two arrows coming in volley, and at the same time swung the long knife in his hand to smash the two arrows.

There was only a sound of ding, Qi Zhen slashed on one of the arrows with a knife, and only one of the arrows fell, but the other arrow came rushing towards Wang Yangming.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but panicked and shouted subconsciously: "The governor, get out of the way."

However, before Qi Zhen finished speaking, Wang Yangming, who was riding on a horse, raised his spear forward, and the arrow was thrown away by Wang Yangming's spear.

Seeing this scene, Qi Zhen couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his heart, but the next moment he heard Wang Yangming chuckle and said: "General Qi, let's compare and see who can win first." Kill this Urus Borot prince!"

Daming and Tatar have confronted each other for so long, and both sides have already known the identity of the other's general. Although they have never seen Urus Borot, the big flag of Urus Borot is a symbol of their status.

Qi Zhen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "When it comes to arranging troops and dispatching the army, the general may not be as good as the governor, but for this charge, the general will be compared with the governor."

While speaking, Qi Zhen swung the long knife in his hand, and blood mist filled the sky immediately, but all the Tatars who stood in front of him were killed by him.

Wang Yangming had already entered the Tatar army at this time, and his eyes were fixed on Urus Borot.

And at this moment, Ulus Borot was looking at Qi Zhen and Wang Yangming with a look of surprise, obviously surprised by the strength displayed by the two of them.

But soon Ulus Borot was overjoyed and said: "Okay, okay, kill these two people for me, I am afraid that these two people are the real commanders of the Ming army."

It is said that soldiers never tire of deceit. As the commander of the first army, he rarely put himself in danger. When he saw Wang Yangming's commander-in-chief earlier, Ulus Borot was actually somewhat uncertain in his heart.

After all, the handsome flag may be a trap, but it is quite rare to use the commander-in-chief of an army as bait. After all, once the handsome flag is cut off by the enemy army, it will cause confusion in the army. After all, for the soldiers at the bottom In other words, they don't know whether the coach under the handsome banner is real or not.

When the two sides fought, they only recognized the handsome flag, and if the handsome flag fell, it meant that the coach had an accident.

Because of this, Ulus Borot came rushing towards the commander-in-chief, making up his mind that no matter whether Wang Yangming's identity is true or not, he will cut off the commander-in-chief, and then take the opportunity to severely damage the vanguard of the Ming army , to buy enough time for the retreating army.

At this moment, seeing that Wang Yangming still has the identity of Qi Zhen and Qi Zhen, even if Wang Yangming is not among them, then by virtue of their strength, they must be high-level members of the Ming army.

So what Ulus Borot is thinking at the moment is to kill the two, then cut off the banner of the Ming army commander, and then take advantage of the situation to give the Ming army a blow.

Thinking that if he could do this, he would definitely be valued by his father Khan, Ulus Borot couldn't help showing excitement when he looked at Wang Yangming.

"kill!"

Accompanied by Urus Borot's shout, Wang Yangming thrust out the spear in his hand, hitting Urus Borot in the middle.

Urus Borot swung the scimitar in his hand. He thought that he would send the spear flying from the opponent's hand as usual, but what Urus Borot didn't expect was that he didn't send the spear flying with the knife. , but the scimitar in his hand was blown away by a strong force.

The shock on Urus Borot's face hadn't faded in the next moment, and Urus Borot felt as if his body was lifted up by a strong force.

The severe pain in his heart made Ulus Borot couldn't help but let out a scream. At this moment, he had already realized that he had been picked up in the air by Wang Yangming.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

These personal guards following Urus Borot didn't even realize it, and when they came back to their senses, they were shocked to find that His Royal Highness had been picked up in the air.

"Kill him and avenge His Highness!"

Just looking at the pierced chest of Urus Borot, a fool can see that Urus Borot is dead. As Urus Borot's personal guards, the only thing these people can do is to kill them with all their might. Kill Wang Yangming of Ulus Borot, otherwise, there is only a dead end waiting for them.

Hundreds of Tatars who were driven to a dead end rushed towards Wang Yangming with red eyes like madness. Even if they risked their lives, they wanted to kill Wang Yangming in order to win the tiny chance of survival.

Qi Zhen was already dumbfounded at this moment. He was distracted to pay attention to Wang Yangming when they were just fighting. Although he talked about competing with Wang Yangming, Qi Zhen knew very well that what he had to do was not to compete with Wang Yangming, but to protect him. Wang Yangming's safety.

But what Qi Zhen didn't expect was that Ulus Borot was easily picked up in the air by Wang Yangming at the moment of the fight.

Even if Urus Borot is only second-rate in strength, but in the army, the second-rate state can be called a brave general in the army. It will take a lot of effort for him to face Urus Borot in the whole town. Kill it in battle.

But Wang Yangming picked and killed Ulus Borot in one blow, and the shock in Qi Zhen's heart can be imagined.

So much so that at this moment, Qi Zhen looked at Wang Yangming, who was killing all directions, with a strange look. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Wang Yangming, a dignified cabinet veteran, would have such a terrifying force.

It wasn't until a Tatar roared and rushed to Qi Zhen that Qi Zhen came to his senses and subconsciously slashed and killed him.

At this time, Wang Yangming had already shot and killed more than a dozen Tatar guards, and his blood-soaked posture was amazing.

"Urus Borot is dead, Urus Borot is dead."

With the shouts of the soldiers behind Wang Yangming, the news of Ulus Borot's death spread among the army.

Ulus Borot's status is very honorable. As the parent and son of Dayan Khan, if he dies and the two armies are fighting, one can imagine the great sensation it will cause.

The Tatar soldiers who almost heard the news of Urus Borot's death were stunned, and looked in the direction of Urus Borot's banner in disbelief.

However, at this moment, the flag that was originally flying high was cut off by Qi Zhen at some point.

As the flag of the general fell down, no matter how slow the reaction was, tens of thousands of Tatars realized that the situation of the general was very bad, and they might even have been beheaded by the Ming army as the Ming army shouted. killed.

Originally, these Tatars were already worried about the safety of their relatives on the prairie after learning the news that Li Huan was killing on the prairie.

Urus Borot relied on his own prestige to gather the army's morale and boost morale. Even under the encouragement of Urus Borot, the army performed super-level to face the army pursued by the Ming army.

But success is also Urus Borot, and defeat is also Urus Borot.

If Urus Borot is still alive, the Tatar army will not be shaken, but with the death of Urus Borot, the tens of thousands of troops suddenly collapsed.

Normally, even if the main general dies, the army will not collapse so quickly, but because of the special identities of Li Huan and Urus Borot, the result is that the army collapsed completely, even if Wang Yangming They were all a little surprised.

But soon Wang Yangming came to his senses, took a deep breath to calm himself, waved his big hand and shouted, and at the same time ordered his soldiers to wave the commanding flag, leading the army to frantically chase and kill the collapsed Tatar army.

Montgomery, Tusanko and the others had already been terrified by Urus Borot's death at this time, and the two of them were also unlucky, because they were marksmen and did not rush to kill Wang Yangming in the first place , Qi Zhen and others approached him, so he saw with his own eyes the scene where Ulus Borot was picked and killed by Wang Yangming.

It was after seeing that scene that the two of them turned around and fled without looking back after they came to their senses.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, cowardly and fearful of death, it was that Wang Yangming's strength was too strong. Except for their sharp shot, their force was inferior to that of Ulus Borot.

The two had already realized that Wang Yangming could not be defeated by their archery skills when they missed a hit before, and now they were shocked by Wang Yangming's force. If they didn't escape, they might have to wait for death.

Thousands of Ming cavalry frantically chased and killed the fleeing Tatar army.

At this time, Wang Yangming and Qi Zhen had already stopped. As the commander of the first army, Wang Yangming no longer rushed forward, but stopped and dispatched the soldiers and horses behind to chase after the Tatar army.

When Shen Buyi and the others, who got the news and came under the guard of a group of soldiers, saw Wang Yangming, Shen Buyi and the others almost didn't dare to recognize him.

In fact, Wang Yangming was covered in blood, exuding a palpitating evil spirit, like a god of death, not at all like his usual aura of a great scholar.

"Hiss, is it true that the legendary commander-in-chief with astonishing military strength once served His Majesty's side, killed rebels, and protected the emperor?"

There are also many rumors about Wang Yangming in the capital, including rumors about how Wang Yangming rescued him from the rebel army.

It's just that although this rumor is circulating in Beijing, few people really believe it.

After all, anyone who saw Wang Yangming would be able to tell that Wang Yangming was a great Confucian. In addition, Wang Yangming was a literati, so no one could associate it with amazing force.

Although it is said that some literati will practice some kung fu, but it is more about strengthening the body, and few people will hold it on the battlefield.

After all, there are only a handful of literati like Yang Yiqing who are both civil and military.

But now looking at Wang Yangming's evil spirit, many people naturally thought of the rumors about Wang Yangming in the capital.

Shen Buyi stepped forward to salute Wang Yangming and said, "Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief!"

Wang Yangming glanced at Shen Buyi and the others, and said slowly: "Everyone, thanks to the great general who disturbed the Tatar's rear and disturbed the Tatar army's morale, our army can be said to have won the battle this time."

As he said that, Wang Yangming looked straight and said: "The opportunity to hit Tatars like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the first battle hits Tatars hard, or if we can completely leave Dayan Khan's 10,000+ army behind, we will surely leave our name in history and pass it on to future generations. , what do you guys think?"

After hearing Wang Yangming's words, almost everyone had a strange look in their eyes.

That is the supreme glory of leaving a name in history and passing on to future generations.

Isn't what a civil and military person pursues is to leave a name in history, and his meritorious deeds will be extolled by future generations?
Qi Zhen couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Kill Tatar, kill Tatar!"

All the generals reacted and shouted, even the civil servants who had always seemed extremely reserved looked at Wang Yangming with excitement and said, "Governor, what do you want me to do? It is ordered."

Wang Yangming saw the reaction of the people in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It can be said that the reaction of the people was within his expectation, unless they were people with ulterior motives. It's okay to stay calm.
