Chapter 136 Shi Ming's Ambition

Chapter 136 Shi Ming's Ambition

The biggest feature of war in the cold weapon era is face-to-face bloody.

White knives go in and red knives go out. Countless people who have never met each other destroy each other's bodies with all the tools they can use, and various human organs and parts fly around.

Life becomes both precious and cheap at this time.

Sometimes you don't even know whether it's an enemy or a comrade-in-arms who killed you, or whether it's an enemy or a friend who gave you a fatal blow. Momentary hesitation is often the difference between life and death.

Many people who have not experienced this kind of bloodshed will often be terrified and dumbstruck, and some with poor psychological endurance will even go crazy on the spot, because there is nothing more frightening than this.

All human civilization has given way to disgusting blood at this time.

Baimadu is now such a slaughterhouse, a slaughterhouse for slaughtering human beings.

Every famous general is a butcher in essence.

Shi Ming, who rushed into the river, was like a tiger entering a forest. Everywhere he went, there was a bloody storm, and the wailing of the enemy was everywhere.

Thanks to the special terrain on the shore of Baima Ferry, there is an extremely shallow water area nearly 200 meters away from the shore. The original ferry crossing should be a small sandbar in the deep water area of ​​the river protruding from a gravel road.

The large distance between the shore and the deep water area gave Shi Ming sufficient room to maneuver.

Skillful modern fighting skills, rich fighting experience, a highly defensive iron armor and abundant physical strength made Shi Ming quickly become a fierce tiger on the battlefield.

From unfamiliar to proficient, from cautious to ruthless, from uneasy to indifferent, Shi Ming's killing skills became more and more proficient, and also more and more intimidating.

The dozens of personal guards who followed Shi Ming were all brave and ruthless people. Although they didn't wear bright iron armor like Shi Ming, they basically had all kinds of armor and held high-quality armor. The weapons are still clustered together in a group, and they are even more powerful.

Good armor is far more invulnerable in melee combat than most modern people think.

This is not a game. If you give him a knife, no matter what armor he wears, his blood will always decrease. It's nothing more than thicker blood with armor, but he will still be hacked to death.

The ancient iron armor was actually strong enough to ignore the existence of most ordinary physical attacks, otherwise no one would spend a lot of energy to wear them.

According to modern people's attack experiments on iron armor and fish scale armor of Ming Dynasty using retro weapons.

If it is not particularly powerful, the assassination action of ordinary swords will not be able to penetrate the iron armor at all, and there is a high probability that it will be bounced off by the hard metal armor, and it will be even more useless to hack. Can't shoot through iron armor.

Of course, this is not to say that you can sit back and relax and take risks wantonly by wearing armor.

Not only were the cheap and powerful spears an exception, but armor was also a terrible defense against firearms.

This is also the main reason why the full-body iron armor with exposed armor pieces withdrew from the main force of actual combat armor in the late Ming Dynasty.

The vast majority of generals began to wear composite armor, that is, cloth face armor with an outer layer of cloth cotton and an inner layer of iron armor, or cotton armor lined with iron sheets.

Of course, the advantage of easy maintenance of cloth face armor and cotton armor is also an important factor for them to go to the forefront of history.

Although the iron armor is effective against ordinary physical attacks, the wearer's personal combat skills are also very essential.

With the protection bonus of the armor, coupled with being fierce and good at fighting, Shi Ming and his personal guards quickly killed the enemy soldiers around them, staggering around, dodging in all directions, and quickly forced the nearby enemy soldiers who had already killed ashore to push back. into the river.

The once dangerous line of defense quickly stabilized.

Then, Shi Ming seemed to be addicted to killing, and even led his personal guards to stay in the river and continue to fight left and right, making it difficult for the peasant army to form enough oppression against the officers and soldiers on the shore.

And a wider space also gives individuals a bigger stage to display.

Zhao Jin looked at Shi Ming who had rushed into the river and became a lone army, and was about to send someone to call this crazy guy back, but he stopped talking.

He suddenly realized that it was not right to completely defend the front line. At this time, morale might be more important.

Because of Shi Ming, many enemy troops no longer cared about attacking their line of defense. Not only was their line of defense completely stabilized, the most important thing was that the confidence of the soldiers was also significantly encouraged and improved.

Zhao Jin was really a little impressed by Shi Ming, this guy is really too fierce.

It was beyond his expectation to have such courage and vigor after first entering the battle.This is not the small fight in the past, even Zhao Jin, who has always been quite confident, is still getting used to it, and he still hasn't completely stopped the churning in his heart.

However, Shi Ming has already started to kill all directions, rampant in the enemy line of ten thousand people.

But Zhao Jin still couldn't hold back and murmured silently in his heart: "You can fight if you can, but can you stop being so ostentatious? Is it too long to live! You don't count if you wear a bright armor. Each of you has bright red tassels on your helmets, why do so many of you still have a bright red pennant on your back? It’s because I’m afraid that others won’t notice you! Isn’t it? Why are you waiting for people to besiege you!"

When making complaints, Zhao Jin also discovered a problem, that is, the attack density of the peasant army seemed to have become sparse.

As the peasant army who attacked intensively just now was killed in large numbers, the number of peasant troops who attacked later decreased significantly.

Although the continuous offensive has not stopped, the battlefield is obviously less crowded.

Zhao Jin also wondered why Shi Ming ran rampant in the river so easily?Otherwise, he would be squeezed to death.

It seems that the peasant army's marching ability is the same thing, and more people in the back probably haven't arrived yet.

However, more and more peasant armies are beginning to besiege Shi Ming's place. I'm really worried about what will come, and it's really worrying!

Of course it is impossible for Shi Ming to know about Zhao Jin's silent complaints, but it is intentional for him to make such a show.

He is taking risks, he is gambling.

Although Shi Mingsheng was tall and mighty, and looked like a thick line, but in fact his mind was very meticulous.

How can it be easy for a person who can break through the black and white roads from the bottom to come out little by little, and he has made some achievements early and has experienced cracking down on gangsters, and of course he knows the importance of keeping a low profile.

But the premise of being low-key is that you have to have strength, and Shi Ming is too aware of the beauty of power and wealth.

There is no harm without comparison.

Look at Zhao Jin, then look at Li Ping, Shi Ming is very dissatisfied with his current situation.

He's still just a boss.

Because Shi Ming is just a general, it has been difficult for his strength to be substantially improved after the initial expansion by taking advantage of the chaos, while Zhao Jin's strength can continue to grow.

Because he is a guerrilla, a general, and an officer of the first battalion.

Moreover, with such a small boss, Shi Ming knew very well that he could be so independent because Zhao Jin didn't care about him.

Shi Ming is very insecure and uncomfortable with such a status and the resources he can master, and he urgently needs to change.

War makes others feel headache and fear, but for Shi Ming it is a shortcut to power and wealth.

Shi Ming is well versed in climbing the peak amid dangers, and he is well prepared for this day.

After learning that Zuo Liangyu was on the mountain behind, he was even more excited.

Wearing a very unobtrusive, shiny iron armor like a general, with new and dense red tassels on the helmet, and a red triangular flag on the back (although it looks a bit like a Japanese samurai, Shi Ming’s back flag is mainly similar to that in Peking Opera. learned, but he used not four flags, but one flag), Shi Ming only hoped that the more colorful and eye-catching he was, the better.

Shi Ming must let the people above pay attention to him as much as possible, preferably Zuo Liangyu himself.

And today is simply an excellent opportunity. If he hadn't come out in a hurry, he must have done more work on the armor.

As for breaking into the enemy's formation after fighting, it will be more eye-catching and more likely to be noticed by Zuo Liangyu on the mountain.

Moreover, Shi Ming was not purely passionate.

As soon as the battle started, Shi Ming repeatedly entrusted his most trusted Wang Chengwu to take good care of their horses and the cost of their escape.

Life is everything, Shi Ming will never be fundamentally confused.

Unlike Zhao Jin who was mostly on foot to inspire the army before arriving here, Shi Ming was mostly on horseback, which also gave him physical strength far superior to the exhausted enemy in front of him.

And Shi Ming didn't just wear the iron armor on the outside, he also put on a layer of thin cotton armor inside, and added iron plates on the chest and back to protect his heart, so he was very well prepared.

Furthermore, through observation in the early stage of the battle, Shi Ming also discovered early on that although the enemy army looked bluffing, it was not as hard-fought as imagined. Anyway, there were not many good fighters.

All these made Shi Ming dare to take risks and enter the enemy's line, and dare to use this method to stabilize the front line.

Shi Ming's calculations were not in vain.

Zuo Liangyu, who was standing on the back mountain, had been paying attention to Zhao Jin's thin infantry defense line most of the time because he couldn't see the situation in the Linshan River and the water, and had noticed Shi Ming who was too dazzling earlier.

Those flags slammed left and right in the enemy army, which not only completely disrupted the peasant army's attack at Baima Ferry, but also effectively raised the morale of the entire army.

Zuo Liangyu, who had been silent all this time, murmured in his heart: "This Zhao Jin, at the beginning thought that he would be given the position of a general at a low price, but now it seems that he is not at a loss."

"It's really rare to have a flag on the back, and it's still an infantry. However, this group of infantry with the flag is really brave. It seems that the effect is not bad. This Zhao Jin is a bit interesting." Lieutenant Wang Yuncheng, who was watching the battle, said playfully. One sentence.

Wang Yuncheng returned to the mountain after the establishment of the second infantry line of defense at the foot of the mountain. He felt that the problem at the foot of the mountain should not be serious.

At this time, the small flag on the top of the helmet was more common among the elite cavalry, personal guard cavalry and officers of the Ming army.Of course, the purpose is not to look good, but to facilitate soldiers to follow officers, large troops to identify attack paths in chaos, and command convenience.

The leading cavalry can well indicate the direction of the large troops through the small flags fluttering high above their heads in the wind, and the commander can also use these flags to grasp the position of the troops well.

Of course, one side's own flag that can be easily seen side by side can more effectively maintain the confidence of one's own troops to continue fighting.

But it is rare to see flags on the back now, and if there are, they are usually cavalry.

"Back then, Qi Shaobao's (Qi Jiguang's) soldiers often used to carry flags." Zuo Liangyu suddenly said.

Wang Yuncheng was taken aback when he heard this, and after poking his lips, he hurriedly said: "I still have too little knowledge, and the general laughed at me."

Wang Yuncheng hadn't played well in the previous battle with the vanguard cavalry. If it weren't for the top-notch cavalry of Prime Minister Hui Deng, it would have been a lot of trouble to control the white horse crossing the beach.

"Go and ask which warrior is leading that group of infantry to kill?" Zuo Liangyu turned his head and ordered to a soldier behind him.

He didn't pay attention to Wang Yuncheng anymore, and continued to keep silent about Wang Yuncheng's previous performance, which he had known from his own soldiers.

"The long, icy river hurts the horses badly. After we restrain the vanguard and elite cavalry of the thieves, it's hard to do anything. Without the cavalry, the thieves' infantry is nothing to worry about." Wang Yuncheng is still looking for a place for himself.

"Don't be careless, Li Zicheng is so cruel! The thieves did not wait to gather enough troops to attack so hard, and drove the elite soldiers here for nothing. This is what they want to win, and they want to put us to death!" Zuo Liang Yu said with a worried face.

The peasant army infantry who can rush to the battlefield first and attack without fear of exhaustion knows with their toes that they are the elite of the elite.

"Then let's quickly fill in the infantry that arrived from the rear? Zhao Jin's formation is a bit thin!" Wang Yuncheng suddenly became anxious.

Zuo Liangyu glanced sideways at Wang Yuncheng and said: "Don't worry, Zhao Jin's formation should be fine for a while. The infantry that just arrived in the rear are staggering, and many banner battalions are still in disorder. Add to the chaos. Let them wait a little longer, and then talk when they are stable."

……

In Zuo Liangyu's sorrow, the fighting on the bank of Baimadu and in the river continued.

The river near the shore and the shore are full of corpses of both the enemy and us. There are almost a thousand of them densely packed, and those who stand among them will be tripped if they are not careful.There are patches of blood red everywhere, especially the river near the shore has completely turned red.

Due to factors such as Shi Ming's disruption and the poor follow-up of the peasant army, the frontline troops of both the enemy and our own have gotten rid of the crowded slaughter and formed a new pattern of tentative stabbing.

But the peasant army did not retreat.

They are still trying their best to encircle and suppress Shi Ming, who is still rushing left and right behind them, acting recklessly.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Liangyu on the mountain looked at the sun that was beginning to dim, and then at the second infantry line of defense, which was still assembled with less than [-] people, and heaved a long sigh.

Then, he suddenly said: "Order, retreat."

Notes:

The distinction between cloth face armor and cotton armor is not particularly clear, and cloth face armor can sometimes be regarded as a type of cotton armor.
