Chapter 173: Li Ruhai rescues the driver

"You dare!"

Zhu Yujiao cleared up, which made Fang Guoan stunned.

He looked back and was shocked.

Zhu Yujiao pointed a short sword in her hand at her own throat, "Fang Guoan, even if this palace dies, it will not follow you, if you take a step forward, this palace will kill itself." ”

Fang Guoan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you must not, you have something to say." ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhu Yujiao said in a deep voice.

It is strange to say, without waiting for Fang Guoan to give an order, his personal guards actually retreated when they heard the sound.

Fang Guoan was furious and scolded: "What are you afraid of? It's just a princess of the dead country, come on, take her! My father wants to see if she really dares to die, or is she pretending. ”

The retreat of the guards was just an instinctive reaction, after all, the Ming army had been in office for a long time and was used to it.

At this time, when he heard that the lord was angry, he didn't care about anything else, so he rushed up.

This was the last moment, and the officials around Zhu Yujiao bravely stood in front of Zhu Yujiao.

But they are just a group of weak readers, who are the opponents of the tiger and wolf gangsters?

Seeing that the rebels were close in front of her, Zhu Yujiao's eyes were closed, her teeth were bitten, and her right hand was about to be strengthened.

Uncle Zheng screamed and wanted to stop him, but his hand rose halfway and stopped.

He understood that if Zhu Yujiao did not die, the humiliation she suffered would be exhausted, and it would be difficult to wash away the Qiantang River.

At this critical moment, a violent roar accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves came, "Fang Guoan, your matter is coming!" ”

At the last moment, Li Ruhai led the army to arrive in time.

He had only six hundred cavalry with him, and the rest were still coming from the direction of the docks.

With a violent roar, several arrows shot at Fang Guoan.

Uncle Zheng's eyes were quick, and at the moment of the upheaval, he hit sideways and pushed Zhu Yujiao into the door.

Fang Guoan's face changed greatly, how could he still take care of Zhu Yujiao?

He exclaimed, "Meet the enemy!" ”

But in such a wide field, how could the cavalry charge and the infantry who responded to the battle in a hurry could resist?

Between breaths, the cavalry was already in front of them.

Dozens of Fang Guoan's personal guards were knocked away by the war horses, and dozens of people fell under the cavalry swords, which was only a blink of an eye.

Fang Guoan's eyes were blood-red, and he shouted and raised his knife to face Li Ruhai.

"Bell!" There was a muffled sound, and Li Ruhai shook his horse a few times, almost falling off his horse.

The two then staggered by.

Fang Guoan shouted at Li Ruhai's back: "Come again!" ”

This appearance really has a bit of the demeanor of the prince.

But then the guards around Fang Guoan swarmed up, and then dragged Fang Guoan backwards.

Just kidding, brought a thousand pro-troops, and lost more than a hundred people at the crossroads.

Now in the face of 600 cavalry, more than 100 people will die in one face, and if they continue to fight, how long can they last, isn't this a joke?

In this way, Fang Guoan was dragged away by his pro-army.

Li Ruhai ordered a pursuit, but was blocked by the pro-army.

It is undeniable that this pro-army is indeed loyal to Fang Guoan.

The fighting subsided, and there were no less than 500 corpses on the ground.

In other words, in addition to the casualties at the crossroads, Fang Guoan took away only more than 300 people.

Li Ruhai did not order the pursuit again, his task was to assist in the defense of Shaoxing Mansion and ensure the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Li Ruhai got off the horse and knocked on the gate of the palace, saluted Zhu Yujiao and said: "Weichen Li Ruhai came to the rescue on the order of Lin Amber. ”

On Zhu Yujiao's fair neck, there was a trace of blood hanging down.

Rao is Zhu Yujiao has seen a more terrifying scene, and she can't help but tremble at this time.

Just a trace of kung fu is the eternal separation of heaven and man.

"General Li is exempt, the palace is still alive, and the general of the whole battle came in time."

"Princess, when Weichen comes, Lin Anbo will explain, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to move to Wuzhuang, and when Linanbo arrives with the army, then discuss with Her Royal Highness the princess where to go."

Zhu Yujiao was silent for a while and said, "Where is Lin Amber now?" ”

"Back to His Highness, Lin Anbo led the army to Fuyang to contain the Tartars and rebels from attacking Shaoxing."

"How many men did the general bring?"

"Five thousand."

"Then the general doesn't have to pay attention to the palace, and quickly send someone to pursue Fang Shun."

Li Ruhai shook his head and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the ministers are under military orders, stationed in Shaoxing Mansion, without the order of Marshal Lin'an, Weichen cannot mobilize the army." ”

Zhu Yujiao frowned and said, "Fang Yi has already slipped through the net, and the general watched him flee?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, in Weichen's opinion, Fang Rebellion is no longer a concern, as long as Shaoxing Mansion is safe and our army is stationed on the other side of the river, Fang Rebellion is already desperate unless he goes south to join the Longwu Dynasty. Your Highness rest assured, in a few days, there will be a clearing. ”

Although Zhu Yujiao was unhappy, she did not insist anymore.

This time she did not refuse, and when Li Ruhai's rear army arrived, she went to Wuzhuang under the escort of the army.

……。

But Li Ruhai really didn't expect that Fang Guoan would go to Wuzhuang to die.

Li Ruhai's deployment of Wu Zheng was very clear, Lu Zhiyu went to Lin'an, led 5,000 people to Shaoxing City, and Zhou Dahu led 3,000 people back to Shangyu, and met Chen Sheng and Qian Qiaogong to help defend Shangyu.

Zhou Dahu went to Shangyu from Cao'e River, and set off a few hours earlier than himself.

In other words, at this time, Zhou Dahu should have arrived in Wuzhuang, and Fang Guoan was just a remnant of a defeated army, how could he fight against Zhou Dahu's army?

Of course, Li Ruhai also didn't know that Fang Guoan had already sent another 2,000-strong division to attack Wuzhuang.

If he knew that he was in public and private, he would definitely not refuse Zhu Yujiao, and he should directly send the whole army to gallop to Wuzhuang.

But he only planned to send a battalion (a temporary establishment created by Wu Zheng, two hundred households, two hundred soldiers, and a deputy hundred) to escort Zhu Yujiao, and he has not yet left.

It's a mess, and both sides are blind and fumbling for elephants.

The situation can change at any time, relying on luck, military morale, and adaptability.

And luck almost decides everything.

Zhou Dahu is actually a command layman, and he can mix with hundreds of households, but it is nothing more than the lack of manpower around Wu Zheng.

Rather than putting the army in the hands of someone who doesn't know the details, it is better to bring a trustworthy person to this position.

Although artillery has been around for more than two hundred years, there are not many battles in which it is actually used.

At this time, the bulkiness of the artillery had too many limitations on the choice of battlefield.

The transportation conditions are too picky, and the horses push the soldiers, even in later generations.

At this time, the battlefield is still the world of cavalry and heavy armor, and 30,000 elite cavalry is enough to occupy half of the country, which is true.

Although Zhou Dahu has no command talent, he does not lack appeal.

His bravery, roughness, recklessness, and righteousness were very contagious, so no one in his command was dissatisfied with him.

This masked the shortcomings of his inadequate command ability.

As long as he charges, the officers and men will follow him without hesitation, but if he retreats, then a river of spring water will flow eastward.

In other words, Zhou Dahu's department is suitable for fighting a tailwind battle, and is good at attacking but not defending.

When Zhou Dahu arrived in Wuzhuang, Chen Sheng and Shen Zhiyuan had already led a battalion to guard in Wuzhuang.
