The military building where Zu Dabi was staying was relatively well preserved, with less than half of the roof still remaining. There were a few archers on top of it, looking around warily. There was a corner of the room where there was no snow, and Zu Dabi was sitting there. He was leaning against the corner with a solemn face, sometimes looking at the courtyard gate, sometimes looking at the sky and frowning.
"After I came back, I thought about having a big fight and washing away the shame of the past with blood. Who would have thought... Hey, today..." Zu Dabi had a wry smile on his face, and the soldiers around him looked at him. This veteran no longer had the usual madness or unruliness in him. He was just like an ordinary old farmer, with only the regret of unrealized ambitions on his face.
A soldier next to the "general" couldn't bear it and comforted him: "Today may not be a fatal situation. Wei Ji may have broken out. If we can delay it for a while, reinforcements may come..."
Zu Dabi raised his hand, waved it, and sighed: "The Tatars will not give us too much time to breathe. Taking ten thousand steps back, our reinforcements really arrived in time, but have you ever thought about it? No, doesn’t the other side have reinforcements?”
The soldiers were silent. Songshan Fort was almost the same distance from Xingshan and Tashan. If the other party went to call for help, it would certainly not be slower than the Ming army!
Seeing his slightly disappointed expression, Zu Dabi reached out and patted his shoulder: "Why are you thinking so much? Life and death are determined by fate. Let's just do it and leave the rest to God."
"Yes, just kill them and it's over!" The soldiers around him suddenly became very heroic. At this moment, a loud shout came from above: "The Tatars are on the wall..." During the words, there were shouts and the sound of bows and arrows.
After hearing this, Zu Dashou and the others in the room rushed out with their swords in hand. They looked around but saw no Tatars climbing over the wall. When they looked again, it turned out that they were Tatar archers looking for commanding heights on the periphery to suppress them with firepower. They were defeated by the Ming army. After discovering it, he immediately opened his bow and shot...
It stands to reason that the barracks are in the middle of the fort, and as long as they go up to the city wall, they can naturally suppress the fire. However, this Xingshan Fort is in ruins. The city wall has been pushed down time and time again, and even the ramp up to the city has been destroyed. It is all in ruins. , if it were normal, you might be able to go up with some effort, but at this time, it was covered with thick snow, so it was really difficult to go up!
Otherwise, if they get up there, there is no need to attack the courtyard from a high position. They can just shoot with bows and arrows, and no one can escape.
Fortunately, I couldn't go up.
Therefore, these Tatars could only find some high points and shelters around the courtyard, but they were discovered by the archers on the roof. After a while, the two sides shot several arrows at each other, and then there was no sound again.
"If you are going to kill me, just hurry up, this is nothing..." Zu Dabi stood in the yard with a knife and yelled, his expression gradually starting to go crazy.
At this moment, the Tatars outside began to shout: "People inside, listen, if you want to live, throw away the weapons and come out. As long as you surrender, promise to follow us and I will never kill you, and I will never lie to you." ...There are many people in our Han banner, and there are also many surrendered troops and generals from your Ming Dynasty... We keep our word, if we continue to resist..."
"You bitch, come in if you have the guts, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zu Dabi roared!
"You are an old boy, but you still look like a leader. I guess you are not an ordinary person." At this moment, several Tatars with knives in their hands and fierce faces appeared from behind the broken wall more than ten steps away from the courtyard gate. Zibing.
Although the courtyard door was blocked by debris, Zu Dabi could still see the sneers on the faces of the Tatar soldiers through some gaps, so he also smiled: "You and I are not only leaders, but also big leaders. I'm here to catch you!"
"If you are a big boss, I'd better advise you to surrender. We will take credit, and you can also enjoy glory and wealth. It's great to have the best of both worlds." The speaker was actually a Han man.
"Bah, you son of a bitch, if you want to take advantage of me, then it depends on your ability! Come in if you have the guts!" Zu Dabi yelled, and the other party smiled coldly: "If you are really a big boss, how can you treat us In other words, both the dead and the living are the same, both are merit!"
"In that case, why bother barking? Come and get it!" Zu Dabi spat and waved the knife in his hand: "Come on!"
"This old boy can't be Zu Dashou, right?" the Han man muttered to the Tatar soldiers next to him. The Tatar soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed. They looked at Zu Dabi with the eyes of hungry animals. A long time wild dog saw a little white rabbit.
"That's right, it's your grandfather, come and get me!" Zu Dabi waved his sword and shouted. These words made the Tatars startled at first, then they roared with their swords and rushed towards them. .
"What the fuck!" Zu Dabi was about to greet him at the door with a knife. Suddenly he heard the people behind him shouting: "What the fuck, you've climbed over the wall..." When he turned around, he saw several Tatar soldiers coming up from the wall. …
Damn it, Zu Dabi rushed over with a knife, knowing in his heart that he had been fooled.
It turned out that those Tatars were deliberately gossiping with him to attract their attention, but secretly let their men crawl under the courtyard wall. Although there were archers on guard on the roof of the military building, their attention was focused on the surrounding areas. It was high up, and the wind and snow were charming, so those Tatars crawled in the snow and sneaked closer, making it difficult to spot them if they were careless.
When I found it again, it was already on the wall!
After the archers found out, they shouted and quickly opened their bows and fired arrows. However, at this time, the Tatar soldiers' archers also started to fire arrows from the hidden places outside. In the blink of an eye, there were endless screams, including the Tatar soldiers who had just climbed up the wall. Soldiers at the barracks.
Moreover, these Tatar soldiers naturally climbed over the wall not only from one place, but from all four sides. In this case, the Ming troops in the yard could only rush around to intercept and fight.
But there are only a dozen of them!
It was difficult to think about the end. Just as the soldiers were going around to intercept the Tatar soldiers who had climbed over the wall, more than ten Tatars came to the door and began to quickly clear the debris blocking the door. As long as they rushed in and surrounded Zu Dabi and his group, they would be eliminated. It happened in the blink of an eye, and there was not even a way to escape.
When the soldiers on the barracks had just given out the warning, Zu Dashou rushed towards the Tatar closest to him. The man had just climbed up the wall, but before he could jump down, Zu Dashou cut off his leg with a knife. , screamed and fell from the wall. Zu Dabi returned his hand and cut off half of his head with a knife. Before he could raise his head, he felt a black shadow pressing in front of him. He quickly turned sideways to avoid it. A Tatar soldier jumped up from the wall and faced him. His head was hit by a knife. Although Zu Dabi dodged the fatal blow, he was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, the snow was thick and he was not injured. After the Tatar soldier knocked Zu Dabi over, he got up and swung. To chop with the knife, Quezu Dabi grabbed his backhand and choked the man's neck, then used the handle of the knife to hit the man's face hard with one hand. While the man was screaming and wailing, he rolled over and cut off his head with a knife.
Regardless of breathing, he quickly got up and looked around. He saw that there were still three archers in the military building who were still shooting at the Tatars outside. The rest were fighting bloody battles with the Tatars in various corners of the yard. At this time, six archers had entered the yard. Seven Tatar soldiers.
Zu Dabi was about to rush over to help, when he suddenly saw more than a dozen Tatars rushing in at the door, so he rushed over with a knife, looking frantic and shouting, "Son of a bitch, come on!"
His state of madness frightened several Tatars at the door, and then someone suddenly thought of something: "He is Madman Zuer!"
Yes, they recognized the identity of the old man with a ferocious and crazy look in front of them.
Zu Dashou’s younger brother, Zu Dabi.
He is not an unknown person. There are rumors about this crazy old man in both the Ming and Qing armies. What's more, Zu Dabi has been in the Qing camp for two years. Although many people have never seen him, his behavior is still unknown. His nature has been heard, and when he saw his appearance, he guessed it.
"That's right, it's your grandpa!" Zu Dabi screamed like crazy at the Tatars at the door. He kept slashing with the steel knife in his hand, waiting for these Tatars to clear away the debris and rush in to fight. At this time, he already knew that since he would rather die than surrender, there was only one way to die!
The sound of fighting behind him became more intense, and the screams drowned out the sound of the wind and snow. Zu Dabi brandished his sword and roared, while looking back, he saw that the soldiers on the roof had disappeared, and more than ten Tatars had already rolled in in the yard. Son, is trapping his men in a military shed and fighting!
"We're all going to die, let's die, let's die together!" Zu Dabi's eyes were red, he stared at the door and roared, his voice was already hoarse. Just when he saw the Tatars about to rush over, he heard a sound behind him and turned around with a knife. The two Tatars behind him were almost hit by him. They dodged sideways and then rushed over. Zu Dashou held the knife in both hands and slashed at one person. The person couldn't dodge and was hit in the neck by him. Blood spurted out on Zu Dashou. Before he could turn around, he was stabbed in the back by another Tatar. In a hurry, he rolled forward without paying attention to the severe pain, and struck back with a sharp knife. The Tatar who was following him was stabbed in the ankle by him, and he screamed. Then Zu Dabi rushed towards him with a knife, but Zu Dabi rolled hard to avoid it. The Tatar fell to the ground, and before he could get up, he turned over and slashed to death with his knife.
Whoosh, whoosh, Zu Dabi gasped and tried his best to get up, but fell down again. This made him very angry, angry at himself, and angry at himself for being so old that he couldn't stand up!
Anger gave rise to strength, and he stood up tremblingly with the knife in hand. He would fight and die standing!
But after all, he is already an old man in his fifties. No matter how brave and fierce he was back then, he is still old after all. Moreover, after being chased, fleeing, and fighting, he was stabbed and seriously injured at this time. How could he still have strength? Where can I stand up?
Although he tried hard to stand with the sword in hand, he couldn't hold on for a few breaths and fell down again. At this moment, he saw the enemy rushing in from outside the yard and heading straight for him with the sword in his hand!
