Chapter 39 The Battle of Dongting Lake

After formulating the "Wolf Pack Tactic", Ji Qinglin ordered Xu Da to be the vanguard, and asked him to lead the fleet first, with muskets and crossbows, to attack King Ruyang's front army.

Xu Da took the lead and led the fleet forward, besieged and fought quickly, first attacked from a distance with muskets, arrows and crossbows, and then quickly approached the enemy giant ship under the cover of the long-distance attack. Besiege the enemy's giant ship, climb on the enemy's ship, and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

The huge ships of the Yuan army were inconvenient to move, and they were completely unable to repel the siege of Xu Da's vanguard army. After a short time, Xu Da's vanguard army took down a huge ship, killed more than a thousand enemies, and captured the ship.

King Ruyang was not a vegetarian either. Through observation, he soon discovered the characteristics of Xu Da's vanguard army in siege and quick battle. "It was difficult to work, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

After a stalemate for about half an hour, Ji Qing looked at the wind direction up Dongting Lake, saw the weak northeast wind gradually turning into a strong northwest wind, and thought of the "Borrowing the Wind Tactic" in "Wu Mu's Suicide Notes", and suddenly realized something.

In the past, the Shu Han united with the Eastern Wu to fight against Cao Cao, and fought against Cao Cao in Chibi. Zhuge Kongming observed the weather, and soon there would be an east wind. Thousands of lions, masts and sculls are wiped out...

Hou Yuefei took this as inspiration and wrote "Borrowing Wind Tactics", which is not limited to east wind and fire attack, but any wind direction that is beneficial to our side can be borrowed. The attack and kill methods that greatly reduce the offensive of the party can be used...

Ji Qinglin immediately sent someone to send an order to Xu Da, telling him to pretend to be invincible, and then retreat, and then ordered Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang to lead the army to prepare artillery, muskets, and rockets in the rear...

Xu Da received the order, in order to make the retreat look more like a disguise, point out some people with lofty ideals who are willing to die, promise to settle their families, and then order them to deliberately lose the battle to die, giving the illusion that the Yuan army has the upper hand .

I saw these volunteers who were willing to die, without hesitation, stepped forward to lose the battle, and died one after another under the random arrows, guns, and cannons of the Yuan army... Xu Da then led the vanguard to retreat, looking like a defeated man. Potential.

Sure enough, the morale of the Yuan army soared, and they took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit.

Not long after, the "defeated army" led by Xu Da successfully brought the Yuan army into the range of the fleet led by Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The fleet led by Chang Yuchun and Zhu Yuanzhang had already prepared artillery, muskets, and rockets... After waiting here for a long time, seeing that the Yuan army finally took the bait and entered the range, they immediately concentrated their firepower and launched a fierce attack on the hooked Yuan army.

Seeing the trick, the Yuan army was ambushed by the Song army, and hurriedly counterattacked with artillery, muskets, arrows, crossbows, bows... However, at this time, the wind direction had changed from a weak northeast wind to a strong northwest wind as Ji Qinglin expected. In terms of a strong tailwind, the firepower is greatly increased. For the Yuan army, it is a strong headwind, and the firepower is greatly reduced.

Seeing that the general situation was over, King Ruyang turned his head and led the remnants of the army to flee. Ji Qinglin immediately led the army to pursue and said loudly: "The tartar in the big red robe is King Ruyang. Whoever captures him for me, I will make him the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households." !” Injecting a powerful inner force into the voice, the voice was immediately spread far away.

When all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty heard this, they shouted loudly, their eyes were burning, and they looked for the person in the red robe among the enemy troops.

King Ruyang cursed secretly, "*Your grandma!" He hurriedly threw away the big red robe he was wearing.

Seeing that King Ruyang threw away the big red robe, Ji Qinglin said loudly: "The tartar with the longest beard is King Ruyang, whoever captures him for me, I will make him the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

King Ruyang had no choice but to pull out the dagger at his waist, and reluctantly cut off the beard he had grown for many years.

Even though he struggled many times, he was unable to escape from Ji Qinglin's pursuit and was captured by his general Chang Yuchun.

"Your Majesty, I have captured this Tartar leader for you, how should we deal with it?" Chang Yuchun asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward and proposed: "Your Majesty, the area of ​​the two lakes has been determined to take this King Ruyang this time. Afterwards, we will go all the way to the northeast and strive to win Dadu of Yuan Dynasty as soon as possible and unify China! The head of King Ruyang, It was used to sacrifice the flag and boost the morale of the Yuan soldiers!"

Just as he was talking, Zhao Min rushed out suddenly, with tears in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, please spare his life for the sake of his being my father!" Kneeling down, Ji Qinglin stepped forward to help her up , Said: "Aifei, get up quickly."

The captured King Ruyang saw that his daughter was safe and sound, and said, "Minmin!" Seeing that she is now King Song's concubine, he felt much better.

In troubled times, if the female family members of the royal family fall into the enemy's hands, they will often end up miserable. Life is worse than death. Being the concubine of the enemy leader is already an excellent destination...

It turned out that after Ji Qinglin captured Zhao Min that day, he adopted her as a concubine. Zhao Min was born in the royal family of the Yuan Dynasty, so he naturally knew that this was a rare and good end, but at that time he didn't have much affection with Ji Qinglin, he just admired her. He is strong in martial arts and strategy, and he is curious about what kind of legendary experience he has, what his true temperament is, and so on.

Later, the two stayed together for many days and fell in love with each other for a long time. On one day more than two months ago, they finally sublimated.

Later, every few days, Ji Qinglin asked someone to repair the bedroom.

……

"Father King!" Zhao Min's eyes were filled with tears, and he stepped forward to hug his father, King Ruyang.

Ji Qinglin gave her father and daughter some time alone to talk about their farewell.

A few hours later, after Zhao Min and King Ruyang finished their farewell talk, Ji Qinglin came in and directly rewarded King Ruyang with a bottle of Crane Crown Red, saying: "King Ruyang, you are a respectable opponent, I will give you a treat, I will take good care of your daughter, don't worry."

Even if this person is his nominal "Yue Laozi", he still can't give him a way out, otherwise, how can he explain to the thousands of brothers who died in this battle under King Ruyang's hands?When the hearts of the people are scattered, it is difficult to lead the team.

Zhao Min cried: "Your Majesty!" But King Ruyang stopped her and said: "Minmin, if I win this decisive battle and he loses, I will give him a happy feeling, but it is absolutely impossible to keep him. Lively, on the battlefield, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. The so-called "kindness does not command soldiers" is for this reason. From now on...you should live with him well. I see that he is good to you. Maybe, Da Yuan I'm really going to run out of breath..."

He also said: "No one in life has died since ancient times, and keep his loyal heart to reflect the history. In the past, Wen Tianxiang was defeated in Mongolia and died for his Great Song Dynasty. Today, I, King Ruyang, was defeated in Later Song Dynasty and died for my Mongolian Yuan, haha Haha!" With a big laugh, he drank the bottle of Hedinghong in one gulp.
