Seven Days to Save the Great Ming? I'd Rather Hang Myself

Good news: Zhu Lian transmigrated, becoming Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming, Zhu Youjian.

Bad news: Today is the tenth day of the third month of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Li Z...

Chapter 860 "Decapitation of the General and Seizure of the Flag"

"Tengji Te!" Man Dahai waved at Tengji Te.

A constipated expression immediately appeared on Teng Jite's face.

He fought against the Ming army twice in a row. Although not many people were killed, many were injured.

Being injured means there is a high chance of death!

Especially arrow wounds.

At that time, arrow wounds were a difficult and complicated disease.

first.

Archers would smear urine gold on their arrows or deliberately let them rust.

Even if the person who was shot did not die on the spot, he would face the threat of death from the Seven Days Wind.

Seven-day wind is the old name for tetanus.

In ancient times, when a baby was born, the midwife would cut the umbilical cord with scissors. However, due to imperfect disinfection measures, tetanus bacteria would invade the baby's body through the navel.

Symptoms include a wry smile, clenched jaw, and convulsions.

The onset period is generally about seven days, so it is called seven-day wind.

Even if you escape the death threat of the Seven Day Wind, there will be other dangers.

When an arrow enters the body, it will pierce armor and clothes, and penetrate the fragments of clothes and the dirt stuck to the armor deep into the wound.

The medical conditions at that time were very poor, medical knowledge was limited, and deep debridement of wounds was rarely performed. They were basically just simply bandaged.

As a result, these debris will remain deep in the wound, causing repeated inflammation.

When Zhao Guangyi, the chariot god of Gaoliang River, was stabbed in the buttocks by two arrows while fleeing, the wounds kept flaring up and he finally died from the wounds bursting open.

Seeing Man Dahai calling him, Teng Jite felt helpless, but he could only pretend to be calm and rushed forward: "My Lord, are you looking for me?"

"Well," Man Dahai pointed to the battlefield and said, "The Ming army was short of manpower and was forced to transfer troops from the central army."

"There," Man Dahai moved his finger and pointed at Li Xingzhong and the central army flag behind him, "Now the troops near the central army flag of the Ming army are empty, giving us the opportunity to kill the general and seize the flag!"

"Kill the general and seize the flag?" Teng Jite swallowed.

As an Outer Mongolian troop, they did all the dirty and tiring work but received very few rewards.

The reason was that he had too few military achievements and could not gain recognition from the top leaders of the Eight Banners.

If he could get the credit for killing the general and capturing the flag, then he and the Sunite tribe would have their day of turning things around.

However, Teng Jite had some concerns.

The credit of capturing the flag is tempting, but the risk is also great.

He said respectfully to Man Dahai: "Your Majesty, I can't see the situation on the battlefield clearly. Can I borrow your clairvoyance?"

"Of course!" Man Dahai happily handed the Clairvoyance to Teng Jite.

After taking the clairvoyance, Teng Jite began to observe the situation on the battlefield.

Although the battle line was long and messy, Teng Jite saw the large flag of the central army behind Li Xingzhong at a glance.

The huge flag with the Chinese character "Li" on it swayed left and right in the wind, as if it would break at any moment.

"Look," Man Dahai pointed at the Ming army's central army flag and said, "Under the flag is Li Xingzhong's central army. At the beginning of the war, there were thousands of people, but now there are only five or six hundred!"

"It's true!" Teng Jite's ambition and confidence exploded instantly.

He had three thousand cavalry under his command.

If you can’t defeat the same number of Ming troops, how can you defeat 500 Ming troops?

Man Dahai continued to encourage him: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

“Hahaha!” Teng Jite laughed out loud. “Li Chengliang guarded Liaodong for more than 30 years and suppressed our tribe for more than 30 years. He died, and then his son Li Rusong also died. Now it’s his grandson’s turn!”

"Prince Li," Teng Jite confidently asked Man Dahai, "Please allow me to lead my troops to charge the battle line. I will definitely be able to kill the general and seize the flag!"

"Okay, I admire your courage." Man Dahai patted Teng Jite on the shoulder and said, "In this way, in addition to my own troops, I will give you another 2,000 cavalry. You lead 5,000 cavalry to bypass the flank and raid the center of the Ming army. You will definitely be able to accomplish the feat of beheading the general and seizing the flag!"

"Your Highness...are you really going to send me an additional 2,000 soldiers?" Teng Jite was very surprised.

In the battles against the Outer Mongols, it was always the commander-in-chief who led his troops.

After all, the soldiers here all come from the same tribe, and they trust each other and have a tacit understanding.

"What? You think it's too much?" Man Dahai asked calmly.

"It's never too much. Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!" Teng Jite hurriedly thanked Man Dahai.

"In that case, then go quickly and come back quickly!" Man Dahai instructed again.

"Yes," Teng Ji bowed deeply and left with the military order.

"Change horses!" After Teng Jite returned to the headquarters, he first asked everyone to change horses. Then he waved the command flag and led 5,000 cavalrymen to retreat.

They first marched upstream along the Nv'er River.

The battlefield was ten miles long, and it was difficult to get around it quietly.

However, Teng Jite had no intention of going around him. He wanted to use a quick surprise attack to get to Li Xingzhong.

The large force soon arrived at the edge of the two armies' battle lines.

Both sides have deployed relatively few troops here, and the battle situation is not stalemate.

Except for a few small troops engaged in fighting, the rest were scouts responsible for reconnaissance.

The scouts patrolled back and forth to ensure that they could inform the coach immediately when their flanks were attacked.

"Charge!" Teng Jite took the lead in the charge.

The Ming army scouts nearby were shocked.

The news was immediately sent to the central army, and a small force was temporarily formed to carry out harassment in an attempt to slow down Teng Jite's march.

Teng Jite ignored the arrows and rushed towards Li Xingzhong's position with a large force.
