The status of the imperial protector is transcendent, directly under the jurisdiction of the little emperor, neither belongs to the Privy Council, nor can the appointment of officials go through the military department, even the salary is paid by the inner treasury, just like the emperor's private army. This is not in line with the laws of the imperial court, and it is also a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the ministers, blocking them from weakening the imperial power and making it difficult for them to sleep.

Therefore, some courtiers once wanted His Majesty to give up the right to send troops and put the protectors under the management of the imperial court, but no one dared to mention it to the little emperor. Because everyone knows that the establishment of the imperial army is a product of a special period, and it is also a manifestation of the incompetence of the imperial court, when Lin'an was in danger of falling, and only six courtiers went to the palace, and the rest of them abandoned the king and fled. It can be said that this is also one of the direct reasons for Empress Dowager Xie to open the city and ask for surrender.

With this unspeakable antecedent, the ministers are ashamed to speak, after all, for those who have betrayed them, no matter how loyal they are at this time, it will make people feel guilty. In addition, the imperial army spent a lot of money, and it was difficult for the court to afford to raise this gold-swallowing beast, so they closed their eyes and swallowed their anger, and let the little emperor 'do nothing'.

It is precisely the special status of the imperial protector that Ni Liang, the capital of the capital, is also out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, except for the little emperor, no one? Twist the R worm? Guiding the phagocytosis to pull out the ashes and lie phenol and the joy of the chaste?? Shen Yi ㄖ Fuyou? Ang?? Shunwo Emperor and leech? Bitter and noisy? Pang Xin coughed barium and was rich again? ā4 Sending Dumplings ┧Ц?山??? Envoy Boom? Is it better to bribe the stars? So the sheath? Swollen sandpiper and narrow-minded? What is the lie? Sui

Now Ni Liang said hello and went to chase Yuxi Timur, and Zhao Mengjin could only take over the command. And he also knew in his heart that these subordinates dared to 'rebel' on their own, which was actually related to the little emperor's way of using his generals. He has said many times that soldiers must strictly abide by military discipline and act according to orders, without the slightest disobedience. However, officers must have a sense of the battlefield, and in commanding operations, they must not tacitly abide by old rules and regulations, and they should be good at adapting measures to local conditions and the times, seize fighter planes, and take the initiative to attack in order to accomplish the tasks assigned by their superiors!

At present, the means of communication are backward and the transmission of information is slow, and it is difficult for the generals to grasp the situation on the battlefield in real time. In particular, in large army operations, troops are often distributed over a vast battlefield of tens or thousands of miles. If you have to consult your superiors about everything, and then carry out the order, then the battle will not be fought. Therefore, including the little emperor, the dispatch of troops to combat must be granted the right of expediency, that is, to give the generals in front a certain degree of autonomous command, so that they can respond in a timely manner according to the situation on the battlefield.

It was also the little emperor who loosened the ties to the officers in disguise, so that some people took this autonomy to the extreme, and now Ran Anguo is the one who is the best. How about Ni Liang and Jiang? A debriefing was made and the action plan was informed. At this time, the enemy and our armies were completely mixed together, the troops were fighting separately, the army could not find the division, the division could not find the regiment, and the regiment did not know where its own soldiers were interspersed!

Originally, according to the battle plan discussed by Zhao Mengjin and others, it was to stop the front, cut off the rear tail, and flank the middle, so as to eat the Yuxi Timurid army, but now the various units are interspersed among the enemy troops, and there is chaos. If you want to command, you can't find any soldiers, so you can only fight with Jiang? Staying in the command post and waiting for the news from the various departments was a torment for them.

The news from the front came back one after another after midnight, and these scattered news made Zhao Mengjin even more confused, and it was impossible to determine the location of the quasi-group of each department, most of which were our troops were pursuing the enemy army, and the results were very great; Our troops have penetrated deep into the enemy's army and are in the melee...... and other vague battle reports, which also made it difficult for him to determine the winner, and all he could do was to continue to wait.

By dawn, the sound of gunfire and shouts had faded away, and the surrounding fighting had largely ended. At this time, there were also their own soldiers returning, including the imperial front guards, the forbidden army, the state army, and even the Mengyuan enemy soldiers who threw themselves into the net. After some inquiry, I learned that the battle had already been chaotic at the beginning, and all units of the Song army boldly interspersed, divided, and infiltrated, fighting fiercely everywhere, fighting chaos against chaos, never giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and even unable to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy in the final stage of the battle.

In the melee, the Song army disrupted the enemy's command system and disrupted its breakthrough deployment, causing the Meng Yuan army to suffer the same dilemma as the Song army. The army was defeated like a mountain, and the generals looked for a way to break through, and they were also dizzy, they could not distinguish the direction in the dark night, and they were not familiar with the terrain, and they did not dare to raise fire to explore the road. Those who were shot indiscriminately, trampled to death by horses, drowned in ditches, and trapped in paddy fields, and some ran for half the night only to find that they had returned to the starting point.

Some of the Song troops were scattered, and some of them captured a lot of enemy soldiers, but they couldn't kill them on the spot, but they couldn't let them go, so they divided their troops to send the prisoners and captured booty back to the camp. However, the battlefield was already chaotic, and it was impossible to find their own headquarters, but they knew that their defense line was by the river and the command post was nearby, so they gathered here, and 'contained' many enemy soldiers along the way. And some enemy soldiers are just hungry and can't walk, and when they see the fire here, they want to take advantage of the chaos to grab some food, but who knows that they are throwing themselves into the net.

After daybreak, the battle was almost over, and the divisions began to gather their troops, clean up the battlefield, and return to the camp. Zhao Mengjin listened to the reports of the generals of various departments to figure out the beginning and end of the battle, it turned out that Ni Liang also found that the enemy was trying to break through the encirclement, and without waiting for him to transfer troops to intercept it, he found that the Fifth Army had begun to attack. He was worried about injuring friendly troops in the melee, so he ordered that no artillery fire should be fired, but the situation became more and more chaotic, so he simply let go of the eastern defense line to let the enemy escape.

The east of the battlefield is the sea, the north and south are the big rivers, Ni Liang judged that the enemy army was already in chaos, there was no response in front, there were chasing soldiers behind, and there was no organization at all to build a bridge to cross the river, let them run out of this circle. And there is still a trapped beast still fighting, if it is strictly guarded, the enemy army will have to fight to the death in order to survive at this moment. can let go of the opening, and when there is a chance to live, they will only care about fleeing for their lives, and they only need to chase and kill along the way.

But when Ni Liang found that there was a large group of enemy cavalry breaking through, he realized that this might be the commander of the enemy army, so he sent people to the river? reported the situation of the battle, while leading the cavalry brigade that had been in his hands to chase and kill. He ordered all units not to wait for orders, and to rush wherever there were enemy troops, so as to disrupt them in a disorderly manner, and not to let the enemy have a chance to breathe......

At this time, Yuxi Timur, who had fled into the city of Jiading, was still in shock, and after eating some unburned scorched rice that his soldiers had rummaged through the burned warehouse, he was a little relieved, and he remembered everything that happened last night as if in a dream. At that time, he had just fallen asleep, and the two of Sezana and Ha Tusun suddenly led their troops to break into the Chinese army, and his own direct 10,000-strong team suffered heavy casualties and was unable to resist, so he was held hostage by the two and forced him to break through the siege at night.

Of course, Yuxi Timur knew the purpose of the two, but he could only submit to the blade, so he was forced to leave the camp under the coercion of the two of them in the name of night patrol. But their actions were soon discovered by the other departments, and for a while, the commander abandoned the army and left alone, spreading the entire camp, and the camp was blown up in an instant. The plan to break through secretly was exposed, and the two couldn't take care of it, so they took advantage of the chaos to break through to the east.

After being blocked by the Song army, they finally found a small way after a fierce battle, broke through the barrier and broke through, but Ha Tusun was scattered in the breakthrough, and there were less than 3,000 of the more than 5,000 people left with him. And when Yuxi Timur learned that Sesana and the others planned to go to Liujiagang to seize the ship and go to sea, and return to the Central Plains by sea, he thought that this was an act of seeking death.

You must know that these people are all landlubbers, they don't know how to operate water, they don't know how to operate sails and boats, and even if they succeed in capturing the boat, they will be buried in the sea. And the only one in the army who is familiar with the water war is the Hui Hui Water Army, but the two of them dislike that the Hui Hui Water Army Wanhu Ma Hemu is a burden, and they have no intention of uniting them to break through together, so the result of this kind of reckless plan can be imagined.

However, upon learning of their plan, Yuxi Timur did not argue with them, but continued with them in obedience, but they soon lost their way and were overtaken by the pursuing Song army. Sezana led his army back to meet them, but instead of fighting them, some of them dismounted and blocked them with a volley of firearms, while others did not dismount, and pursued them as soon as their attack was frustrated and retreated. As a result, the two sides were like cats playing rats, running and fighting, but they were never able to get rid of the Song army chasing behind.

Yuxi Timur, who had already planned for a long time, found an opportunity, and he took advantage of the fact that the two sides had no time to take care of it, so he led a group of cronies and unknown soldiers to break away from the brigade, and finally got rid of the holding of Sesana and led about 500 men and horses to turn to the south to the road to Jiading. Through the situation after the southern crossing, he had realized that he was in the middle of the plan, and at the same time judged that the Jiangbei Northern Army had already withdrawn.

In this way, Yuxi Timur thought that there would not be too many Song troops in Jiangbei, and even if he captured Yangzhou, he could not afford to continue to invade the north, control the entire Huainan region, and even Yangzhou was not captured, and everything in the past was just an illusion created by the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty. Then as long as you return the same way and cross the river, it will be safe, which is much smoother than stepping on the unknown road of the vast sea.

Sure enough, after Yuxi Timur and his party escaped from the war zone, they had a smooth journey and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which also made him more convinced that his judgment was correct, as long as he completely got rid of the pursuers in the rear, then he could return north safely. Therefore, they were not allowed to rest on the road, regardless of the horsepower, they hurried desperately, but by dawn, they were already sleepy and tired and difficult to go again, so they had to enter Jiading City to rest temporarily. But they had only a moment's respite, when suddenly the silence of dawn was broken by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves......
