Chapter 32: People Are Like Ants

The early morning of winter is always the coldest time of the day. Zhang Ping'an's "Forward Camp" was cheering. Everyone knows that today is the day to rescue their relatives; they have been looking forward to this day for too long.

However, they all received strict orders from their respective officials. If they disobey military orders or disrupt military morale on the battlefield, they would be executed; their families would be abandoned.

Two hours later, Zhang Ping'an's team came to Sanli to the east of the Duoyan tribe camp in Mongolia. He began to arrange the battlefield according to Zhang Ping'an's military order. Zhang Ping'an raised the horse whip with his right hand and said to Huang Zhi: "Position the model soldiers and set off!"

Huang Zhi shouted: "The black flag model soldiers are out of the line! Do it according to the usual drill! Flags are set up every fifty feet!"

The army formation walked out of ten model cavalry holding black flags, lined up from east to west. A black flag was inserted every fifty feet and rushed back to the formation quickly. Zhang Ping'an nodded, it seemed that Huang Zhi had a good exercise this way.

Zhang Ping'an saw strangely that, except for seventy scouts swimming on the battlefield, the entire camp was not moving. Zhang Ping'an looked at Chen Pi with confusion.

Chen Poe immediately came over: "Master General! Last night, Zhang Li and Hu Ming's scout intercepted the five waves of messengers going south and north. He didn't see any other escapees in the Tartars! And yesterday our scout saw on the hill west of the Tartar camp that the Tartar camp was piled up like mountains of food. Maybe more than Chen Xiucai said! The scout came to report this morning, and the Tartars tossed all night last night. The things were loaded in the car. All of these were informed to Brother Deyin! Brother Deyin said you were seeing off the teams of each battalion. He would turn around and tell you!"

Zhang Ping'an was furious, but now is not the time to punish Lu Deyin, so he could only hold back his anger and nod calmly to Chen Pie: "I understand!"

At this time, fifteen cavalry rushed out of Duoyan camp, with no weapons in their hands and horses on their backs. Zhang Ping'an ordered the personal soldiers around him: "Go and see what are they going to do?"

Five people rushed out of the personal soldiers and rode horses to stop the fifteen Mongolian Tartars one hundred feet away from the formation. After a while, a personal soldier quickly returned: "Master! They said they were envoys and wanted to negotiate with the Master!"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and ordered his personal soldiers: "Call the person in charge here!"

In a short while, a Mongolian man with gorgeous clothes stood three feet away on a horse. Zhang Ping'an observed him carefully and said: From his clothes, he saw that this person has a good status in Duoyan, and his eyes rolled from time to time without wandering, which means that the person is a good negotiator and resourceful. His face is well maintained, but he does not look like a Mongolian person who has experienced the stubbornness of the wind and frost; it means that he is a person who is afraid of death. Zhang Ping'an was determined, so he stared at his nose. This is the negotiation skills learned by Zhang Ping'an in his later generations. In doing so, he will not be moved by the other party's eyes, and whoever speaks first in the negotiation will be behind.

The Mongolians were so uncomfortable that they were staring at Zhang Ping'an. At first, he thought that the eight-foot-foot man in black armor was the head coach. But the black armored man was half a horse behind the half-held child; he knew that the half-held child was the commander. At first, he did not take the half-held child into his eyes; but soon he discovered that the half-held child had a firm look and a faint bloodthirsty hostility! He had seen many people and knew that only those who killed people could hide their hostility. He was overwhelmed by Zhang Ping'an's eyes and tried to use calm Chinese words: "Doyanbu's hot milk tea and fire wine, welcome the visit of the grassland eagle, I, Alatan...,"

Zhang Ping'an waved his hand and interrupted him, saying quickly in Mongolian words: "Don't say it's useless, we are not here to have tea and eat! We are here to attack you. If you have anything to say, get out of there!"

Alatan threatened Zhang Ping'an disdainfully: "We know that you are coming to return to the family of the Ming Dynasty's escaped slaves. If we had a good talk, maybe we, Subudtaiji, would consider releasing people!" After saying that, his followers blew the horn of the horn. A low horn sounded in front of the solemn military formation!

Hearing the sound of trumpets, more than 200 Ming women and children were taken out from Duoyan camp. The Mongolian Tartars seemed to think they were not leaving quickly and whipped them from time to time. The cry of women and children came from the opposite side.

Seeing this, Zhang Ping'an ordered loudly: "Come here! Take me a hundred Mongolian men with the best health, and take another hundred women and children! If you walk slowly, you will be beaten to death with a wooden stick!"

Soon Zhang Ping'an's personal soldiers brought more than 200 Mongolians from behind the formation. Zhang Ping'an smiled sinisterly and said, "I'm still playing ruthlessly with me! I'll let you see what ruthlessness is!"

Zhang Ping'an said to his personal soldiers: "Cut off the limbs of these hundred men, and cut off the ears of other women and children!"

Zhang Ping'an's personal soldiers grinned and waved their swords to cut off the hands and feet of a hundred Mongolian men lying on the snow. At the same time, more than two hundred ears were thrown in front of Altan.

Zhang Ping'an smiled grimly and said, "This is just an appetizer. I will serve you the main course first! Come on! Bet another hundred men!"

One hundred Mongolian men were taken in front of the formation again and pointed their hands at Li Chen: "Your troops came out with three hundred cavalry, three cavalry in groups, one cavalry dragged his hands, and two cavalry dragged the Tartars' legs. Give them a three-horse to dismember them! Start!"

The painful and desperate shouts covered the shouts of Duoyan's soldiers who had just left the gate of Duoyan's camp. Seeing this scene, Duo's soldiers were shocked and angry! At this time, Duo's soldiers, with less than one hundred men, regardless of the obstruction of the Tartar commander, raised their swords to rush towards Zhang Ping'an's formation.

Zhang Ping'an first pointed at the Mongolian envoy, and his personal soldiers immediately dragged the envoy and entourage off the horse and tied it up. Zhang Ping'an nodded to Huang Zhi.

He heard Huang Zhi shouting: "Everyone has it! Listen to my command! Two feet up, keep steady! Stay stable! Let go! Let go again!"

The rain of arrows roared and rushed towards the cavalry of this hundred men; the range and accuracy of the crossbow were far higher than the horn bows of the Tatar cavalry. There were more than two thousand arrows, and each Tartar could have twenty on average. Therefore, these hundred Tartars provided the best target for Huang Zhi's training.

The sun pulled over a morning glow, and it didn't want to see bloody killing in this beautiful morning! The shy expression of the sun made the cavalry of Duoyan's tribe finally escape the dazzling sunlight. Seeing more than a hundred more white ice fields, red hedgehogs.

Zhang Ping'an saw that there were only more than 700 cavalrymen from the other side two miles away. A golden-armored warrior was looking at him. So he curled his lips: "Put Altan back! The other entourage cut off his hands, cut off his ears, and let them go! We are civilized people, don't force me to do uncivilized things!"

Alatan looked pale and secretly complained: You are more savage than the Jurchens! You are even civilized! But he is still a wise man and bows to Zhang Ping'an. The entourage who was about to cut off his hands was helped one by one. Then Zhang Ping'an said: "I'll ride a horse for you and the others will walk back!"

Seeing them walking away, Zhang Ping'an whispered: "Go and send an order to Zhang Li, Hu Ming, and when he hears the trumpet, he will go west, don't intercept it head-on! Chase from behind! I would rather the Tartars escape than die less!"

At this time, Lu Deyin asked, "Brother, why do you want to put the Tartars back?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm buying time for Zhang Li and Hu Ming. If Subude is not stupid, he will definitely run away. I think he and Alatan are all the same. As long as the messenger arrives, we can press forward! Chen Pang led Li Chen, Huang Zhi to pursue, Huang Wei, Zhang Tong, and Yu Guangcai's troops followed me to clear out the Tartar camp! If the Tartars dare to use the people as shields, we will take the captured Tartars from the back formation, and take three hundred people into batches, and beheaded on the spot! Until the Tartars dare not hide behind the people anymore!"

Zhang Ping'an immediately criticized Lu Deyin: "No matter what the situation is in the future, the scout must be told as soon as possible, and no delays are allowed!"

"Yes, brother!"

"There is no big brother on the battlefield!"

"Yes! Grandmaster!"

When the messenger arrived at the positions of Zhang Li and Hu Ming's troops, Altan also walked back to the Tartar positions with his entourage. Because it was too far away, he was only seen quarreling with the Golden Armored Warrior.

Zhang Ping'an shouted at this time: "Blow the trumpet! The main formation slowly stepped forward!"

At this time, Duoyan commander Subude heard the roar of horse hooves from the opposite formation. As soon as he ordered to drive away the people of Ming Dynasty, he saw the opposite formation stop. He was secretly happy about the success of the strategy, but he did not want the opponent to quickly push out the three hundred male and female men of the Duoyan division, and quickly cut off his head. Subude continued to order to drive out the people despite Altan's persuasion. At this time, the opposite formation launched another three hundred male men and female men, and cut off his head. Now the cavalry under Subude began to panic. Many of the killed people were their relatives and friends. They began to turn the horse's head and rushed to the camp regardless of Subude's orders. They wanted to take their families away from these devils. Subude shook his head in pain, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the camp.

A golden eagle was swimming in the air. It was searching for its prey in his territory. A huge thunder came from the ground. It saw in horror that several huge black streams rushed into the camp like a basin and quickly dyed the camp. Soon the blackened basin was broken, and countless smaller black streams overflowed from the camp, purposely submerging all the black spots that flashed quickly from the camp.

Su Bude, who was running away quickly, regretted why he was greedy for wealth. When he received news from the scout a few days ago, he thought that the Ming people were the first to do things, and the Ming army had civil servants and soldiers. As long as there were more than 20,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, this army would not dare to do anything. I just heard Altan say that this army was still the commander of a child, and my ruthless moves had not been used yet, how could he be so cruel? I heard that the Jurchens were cruel, and this child was even more cruel than the Jurchens! He was simply a wicked wolf! It was not a "crazy wolf!" who was even more cruel than the wicked wolf.
