In the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals were busy standing on the left and right sides and began to discuss the eight classics.

At the top sat Zhu Cihong, beside him were Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, Gao Qiqian, Lu Xiangsheng, and on the screens on both sides behind the main seat, there was also a Shang Fang sword.

Zhu Cihong and Chen Xinjia have one each, if Hong Chengchou is here, it will be three, and it can be said that the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty who supervised the division abroad is almost a Shang Fang sword.

Yang Sichang hesitated and said, "Your Highness, are you watching?" ”

Zhu Cihong didn't know what he meant, so he waved his hand casually and said, "Since my father asked Chen Xinjia to be the supervisor, let him preside over the proceedings, and the palace is just listening to it." ”

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia both breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Sichang gave a look, Chen Xinjia understood, and hurriedly coughed and started his performance.

"Some time ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince broke an army of 30,000 slaves and thieves in Anzhou, and the slaves and thieves killed could not form an army.

After speaking, Chen Xinjia smiled, looking strategic.

However, the scene was cold all of a sudden, and no one answered his words, causing Yang Sichang to cough.

Chen Xinjia suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and he aimed at Yang Guozhu, Yang Guozhu is a member of the Xuanda family, and he should support him, the governor of Xuanda.

Who knew that Yang Guozhu came with a hard head: "Dare to ask the superintendent, how many Tartars came this time?" ”

How many people? How do I know!

Chen Xinjia looked at the generals of Xuanda, and several of them were at a loss, indicating that they did not know.

Chen Xinjia was also straightforward, and said directly: "The specific number of people is not clear, I'm afraid there are ** thousands, maybe there are more than 10,000 people." ”

Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, said in a loud voice: "The number of Tartars is not clear, so I still play a ball, Lao Tzu came from Shanxi to Qinwang, not to send people's heads!" ”

Jiang Xiang, the chief soldier of Datong, also said: "The tiger is right, the number of Tartars has not been figured out, how to fight?" What if you get involved with them and tens of thousands of Tartars surround you? ”

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia both had gloomy faces, and they glanced at these two rough martial artists fiercely.

Chen Xinjia said: "My Ming garrison in Anzhou is nearly 100,000 horses, even if the Tartars have tens of thousands of horses, so what? Our advantage is still great! ”

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but come out to mend the knife and said, "There are 23,000 Tartars who came to Anzhou. ”

"What, more than 20,000 people!"

There was a sudden dead silence in the tent.

After a while, Chen Xinjia shouted and said, "Who wants to lead the troops to battle?" ”

It was still quiet in the tent, and no one spoke.

The generals looked at Zhou Yuji, Mao Yuanyi and other generals of the Tianwu Army, only to see that their eyes were slightly closed, as if they were asleep.

Let the Tianwu Army fight from the front and fight the Qing army, and the other people from all walks of life outflank from both wings, this is the best tactic, but Chen Xinjia knows that he should not be able to command the Tianwu Army, especially in the presence of the crown prince, but he still wants to try it cheekily.

Chen Xinjia smiled and said to Zhou Yuji: "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yuji's eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at him, and said, "The last general has no opinion, he is only willing to obey the dispatch and point to where to fight.......

Look! This is my Ming general, the model of the Ming army!

Chen Xinjia just wanted to applaud loudly, but heard Zhou Yuji add: "The last general will only listen to His Royal Highness the crown prince." ”

"You!" Chen Xinjia was furious, but looked at Zhu Cihong, who was smiling and silent, and stopped the following words.

Yang Sichang frowned even more, the generals of the Tianwu Army are too rampant, and they don't take His Majesty and the court in their eyes!

Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian made a color, and Gao Qiqian signaled to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan to speak.

Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, said stubbornly: "The last general is willing to lead the army as the vanguard and kill the Tartars without leaving a piece of armor." ”

When he said this, Ma Ke did not have the slightest confidence, but was just playing on the spot.

Yang Sichang smiled and said: "This official has the permission of the imperial court, and all the gold and silver treasures obtained in this battle will be freely distributed, one beheaded, and fifty taels of silver will be rewarded, and the imperial court will cash it within a month!" ”

Under the encouragement of Yang Sichang, Ma Ke's confidence rose instantly, and he seriously asked for war again, and the generals of the Guanning Army also asked for battle, and the generals of Xuanda did not show weakness, expressing their willingness to lead the army to fight.

They knew very well that the main task of the Tartars was to plunder, and God knows how much gold and silver they robbed, and who didn't want to share the money?

The military heart is available, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia looked at each other and smiled, seeing that the soldiers were working hard, they felt that they were going to make a great contribution this time!

Chen Xinjia immediately said in a loud voice: "This governor announces that tomorrow all battalions will be dispatched to Gaoyang to meet the enemy, and the general army of Shanhaiguan will be the vanguard!" ”

After the arrangement, Chen Xinjia asked Zhu Cihong and asked him if there was anything he needed to say.

Zhu Cihong shook his head with a smile, saying that if you play, I will silently watch you pretend.

.........

Early in the morning of the second day, Ma Ke led 6,000 men and horses from Shanhaiguan to the front line, and he was very confident along the way, with nearly 100,000 troops behind him, how could he not be confident?

At noon, after eating, the army began to pull out the camp and moved to Gaoyang, preparing to do a big job there and exterminate the two banners of the Qing army.

Zhu Cihong led the Tianwu army to follow over to see how the legendary strong Guanning army fought.

After a day's march, the army arrived at Longhua in the northeast of Gaoyang, and the battle report from the front came: Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was beaten by the vanguard of the Qing army with a white flag, and the whole army was defeated and chased out of 20 miles, losing his armor all the way, which was extremely humiliating.

Chen Xinjia was shocked, and hurriedly transferred the two of Miyun General Soldier and Jizhou General Soldier Bai Guangen to support, and strictly ordered to destroy the vanguard of the Qing army, and the two took the order to go.

The Guanning army is still relatively united, and Chen Xinjia can be regarded as a good use of people when he sent them, but he was not at ease, so he sent Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei to support.

Chen Xinjia sent more than 30,000 troops at once, plus nearly 40,000 of Ma Ke's men and horses, there is no reason why he can't win, after all, the other party is only the vanguard of the Qing army, only four or five thousand people? There will be no more than 10,000 people at most.

Yang Sichang also nodded secretly, the first battle must not be defeated, even if it is a group fight, he has to win everything, he wants to go back with good news, prove all the deeds of the people he recommends, and at the same time, in order to fight Mao Yuanyi in front of the emperor.

On the temporary construction of several watchtowers, a group of generals surrounded Yang Sichang, Chen Xinjia, and Gao Qiqian, looking from a distance, in an eager mood, waiting for good news.

Zhu Cihong was fine, and he stood on a watchtower to bask in the sun and watch the scenery.

After a while, I saw the direction of Renqiu County, a large number of Ming troops were galloping on horses, throwing away their armor all the way, and they didn't know where to throw the banner, which looked extremely embarrassing.

Zhu Cihong picked up the binoculars and looked at it, good guys, the leaders were Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and other Guanning troops, and the fleeing army of tens of thousands of people stretched for many miles.

Zhu Cihong sighed: "The escaped general, as expected, is worthy of his reputation, today's palace can be regarded as an insight!" ”

Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia looked at the defeated Guan Ningjun blankly, the two looked at each other, they both saw the fear in each other's eyes, this is the end of the calf, the first battle of the superintendent was lost, the defeat was like a mountain, and the emperor was going to cut people again.......

Lu Xiangsheng, who was watching the battle, said anxiously to the following: "What about Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei?" ”

No one answered him, everyone was busy, busy running for their lives.

Chen Xinjia ordered someone to open the camp gate and let the defeated army enter, and he also asked loudly: "What about the people and horses of Xuanda?" ”

He is the governor of Xuanda, and the people of Xuanda are his capital, and Chen Xinjia is also very anxious.

One of the generals in the fleeing army replied, "Lord Xuan's horse is still behind!" ”

After a period of time, the fleeing Ming army entered the camp, and Xuanda's men and horses hurried back, followed by a large group of Qing cavalry.

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei finally shook off the Qing army and entered the camp, and as soon as the two saw Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, they broke open and scolded.

Hu Dawei directly picked up the machete to cut Tang Tong, but fortunately he was stopped by everyone, Tang Tong was frightened by him in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but scold a few words back.

Yang Sichang shouted: "What the hell is going on? ”

Hu Dawei said angrily: "Lao Tzu went to save them, they were good, left Lao Tzu and ran away!" ”

It turned out that Ma Ke was defeated by the vanguard of the Qing army, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen met Ma Ke not long after they went out, Ma Ke didn't even say hello and continued to run, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen saw the Qing soldiers chasing, and they also ran, but they didn't know that the Qing soldiers who were chasing only three or four thousand people, while they had 20,000 horses.

The formation of Xuanda horses who came to support behind was directly dispersed by the rout, and Tang Tong and Bai Guangen also ran away without saying a word, ignoring the Xuanda horses who looked confused.

Zhu Cihong, who was watching the play on the side, felt that it was amazing, Xuan Dama was the last to set off, if he escaped, he should have run at the front, but he fell last, which shows the strong escape ability of Guan Ningjun.
