Chapter 187: Final Victory

"The Great Khan is wise!" The Great Khan gave this order, and the people in the tent suddenly became much more relaxed, and Fan Shiqing and the Manzhen generals said in unison.

Although he had already prepared to withdraw from the army, when the matter came, Shi Duo was still inevitably unwilling.

He sighed: "Although this entry into the customs has gained a lot, it has also allowed Ben Khan to truly see the national strength of Yun Kingdom. For Da Mo, the Yun Country is too big, the territory is more than 10,000 miles, and the heritage is much beyond my Da Mo. ”

"Such a large territory, and the prosperous and rich land of the Central Plains, is enough to cultivate a large number of talents, first Fang Ping, and then this young man, this is the truth. This is still what we have seen, and we will only know more! ”

"So many talents were born and raised here, and they are all loyal to the Zhao family, how fortunate the Zhao family is, and how fortunate the Yun country is!"

"And my Manzhen clan, the total number of clansmen is only hundreds of thousands, and they live in a wild and bitter cold land, which is not as good as the outstanding people of the Central Plains. In this war with the Cloud Kingdom, although we can have an advantage at the moment, with such a big gap, can I really win in the end? ”

"The country of Yun is strong, it has fought so many years of defeat, and internal turmoil is everywhere, but until now, the country of Yun still retains some vitality, and our army has poured out, and there is nothing to be done about the cloud army that has taken a defensive position."

"It seems that Yun Guo can continue to lose, and one or two victories are not enough to shake the foundation of Yun Guo. And for us, as long as we are not careful, a big defeat can plunge my Manzhen clan into a place of no return, and there is no possibility of turning over, is it really necessary for this war to continue? ”

Shi Duo's tone was gloomy, rather gloomy. Fan Shiqing persuaded at this time: "Our army is only temporarily retreating, why should the Great Khan be disheartened." Although the country of clouds is strong, it is already a rotten wood and riddled with diseases; I am still weak, but I am like the rising sun, and my vitality is infinite. ”

"In time, I will definitely be able to surpass this seemingly behemothic Cloud Kingdom. Therefore, in the eyes of the minister, the Great Khan's sigh is so unreasonable, it is not only to look down on Yunguo, but also to underestimate my Da Mo! ”

"There are many talents in Yunguo, but I am also full of talents, why should the Great Khan favor one over the other. And compared to the people of Yunguo, who have their own ghosts, I am more united. ”

"It is precisely because of this that there is a thriving state of my Great Mo, if the words of the Great Khan reach the ears of the soldiers outside, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the soldiers."

Shi Duo, who was almost taught a lesson by Fan Shiqing, was not angry.

He smiled and said, "I just had a feeling, I didn't mean anything else, sir, don't take it to heart." The ancestors of our clan and countless clansmen have squandered their blood, and my Manzhen clan has only reached this point today, as a great khan, how can I have half of the intention of retreating, and that will not make the efforts of the clansmen of all generations in vain. Moreover, in the current situation, where is there room for our clan to retreat, once we have the intention of retreating, I am afraid that the disaster of the whole clan will be in front of us. So I can only fight forward and fight for a big country. ”

Sedor's fighting spirit was restored: "But the priority is to withdraw the troops, and the rest can be waited for later." ”

He said with a straight face: "It is rumored that the army has pulled out the camp, and Akuri and the others must not fall in love with the battle, so they should quickly return to the division camp and protect the king's tent!" ”

"Obey the Khan's orders!" Fan Shiqing also knew that now was not the time to talk about this, so he replied with the generals.

Arkuri, who had made several unsuccessful attacks, was hesitating to divide his troops when he heard the sound of a horn from the rear to retreat.

"Alas, hateful!" He sighed so angrily that he almost threw the war knife out of his hand.

He struck the horse's ass with a whip and commanded loudly: "Go, withdraw to the camp!" ”

The 3,000 Manzhen cavalry withdrew and returned to the camp, and Ji Minglan and 10,000 officers and soldiers who were blocking them knew that there was no suspense in this battle, and the victory of the officers and troops was decided, so everyone cheered loudly.

At the same time, the sound of the horn also reached the battlefield where Lin Fan and them were, and the Manzhen army here also began to prepare to retreat, but they were bitten by the official army, especially the Manzhen infantry army, and they couldn't get out at all.

The Manzhen cavalry, who still had the strength to escape, had no choice but to abandon the slower Manzhen infantry and retreat alone in order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army after trying to rescue them to no avail.

The Manzhen infantry who were still fighting with the official army also knew that they had no luck, so that the cavalry could withdraw smoothly

, they resisted the officers and soldiers with all their might, and under the outbreak, they dragged a large number of officers and soldiers to fight for opportunities for their companions.

The combat power of the Manzhen cavalry was vividly demonstrated at this time, as long as they were bent on leaving, the current officers and troops would not be able to stop them at all. Even if Lin Fan tried his best to stop them, they still let the remaining five hundred or so Manzhen cavalry rush out, but they couldn't do it all.

"Your Majesty, you see, the Manzhen army has begun to pull out the camp, and they are about to withdraw!" Above the city, Yu Chaoen excitedly said to Zhao Huan, the son of today.

"Your Majesty, the banner of the Liaodong border army was found in the distance, and the Manzhen army in the rest of the camps also showed signs of retreat!" A general of the DPRK and China with excellent observation skills also said.

Hearing this news, Zhao Huan, who had been tightening a string for a long time, was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little incredulous, and then reacted that he couldn't care about maintaining the emperor's majesty anymore.

The emperor was overjoyed and said, "It's great that the Manzhen army has withdrawn!" ”

Zhao Huan was very excited, and shouted loudly to the civil and military ministers in the city who were watching the battle: "I am a big cloud, invincible!" ”

The emperor took the lead in shouting, and the city was naturally cheering, and everyone shouted in unison: "Long live the great clouds, long live Your Majesty!" Long live the big clouds, long live Your Majesty! ”

The cheers of countless people gathered together, like a mountain shouting and a tsunami, and the sound spread for miles. For a time, everyone in the city knew that the imperial court had won, and Manman was really about to retire.

Manzhen withdrew the army, and the danger of the capital has been solved, which made the civil and military officials at the head of the city also breathe a sigh of relief, and many people secretly rejoiced in their hearts: "My life has finally been saved!" ”

The atmosphere in the city suddenly became a lot more lively, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Shihe, stepped forward and said: "Manzhen's withdrawal of troops really depends on His Majesty's heavenly might. Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty! ”

Li Ruoxi and other civil and military officials also congratulated and said: "Your Majesty is blessed with Qitian, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Huan said modestly: "Hey, the credit this time can't all be attributed to me alone, but also the credit of the ministers and soldiers!" ”

"Spread the decree, the curfew will be lifted in Beijing today, and the people in the city can indulge in this great victory, and hold a banquet on the palace city, I want to have fun with the people!"

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers bowed down to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, now that Manchu is really hastily retreating, the army will inevitably be unstable and lose ground. Taking this opportunity, the minister is willing to lead the troops out of the city and pursue the enemy army, even if he cannot destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, he must completely drive the Manchu army out of Gyeonggi! Wang Shiji said again.

There were all smart people present, and before Wang Shiji finished speaking, many people already understood what he meant.

Now that Man Zhen has withdrawn his troops, he only needs to pretend to go out to catch up, and he doesn't have to fight a battle, he can get a lot of military feats in vain, and he can also leave a good impression of being loyal to the country in front of His Majesty, why not do it!

This makes many people regret it, why didn't they think of this stubble?

This old fox is worthy of being the first assistant of the cabinet, and his brain is fast.

However, he scolded in his heart, but since Wang Shiji took the lead, no one dared to compete with this old fox anymore.

This is not a small credit, but if you want to offend the head of the cabinet because of this matter, it is inevitably a little too unworthy.

Wang Shiji is not a generous person, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he will repay his eyes with his heart. If anyone offends him today, maybe he will find an opportunity in the future, and he may have to pay for his life, this kind of loss-making business, no one wants to do it.

The first assistant of the cabinet took the initiative to ask for war, which really made the emperor feel very happy: "Qing is loyal to the country, and I am very pleased." Since this is the case, Aiqing will lead an army of 30,000 to go out of the city to pursue the enemy, and I will wait for Aiqing to triumph in the city, and celebrate Aiqing and all the soldiers! ”

Wang Shiji knelt on the ground and said with tears streaming down his face: "The minister dares not to die for His Majesty!" ”

Zhao Huan stepped forward and helped him up: "Aiqing, don't be like this, you go and come back quickly, I am waiting for you here!" ”

"Retire!" Wang Shiji wiped away his tears and turned to leave.

After the performance of this drama of the monarch and the sage, Lin Ruxian said: "Your Majesty, please go out of the city with the army, I hope Your Majesty will allow it!" ”

The emperor first looked at him in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Lin Aiqing is still fighting outside the city now, Lin."

It is natural for Aiqing to rest assured! ”

"Today's battle can make Manzhen withdraw from the army, and Kobayashi Aiqing has made great contributions. Aiqing's father and son have been the righteousness of the whole country, and I should also love the love of Qing's father and son. ”

"Aiqing, go, go pick him up!"

"Command!" Lin Ruxian had tears in his eyes.

The gate of the capital city was opened, and 30,000 elite Beijing camps rushed out to pursue the retreating Manzhen army.

Lin Ruxian also rode out with the army, but he did not act with the army, but led more than 100 cavalry troops to leave the brigade and come towards the battlefield where Lin Fan was.

At this time, the war was coming to an end, and after the Manzhen cavalry withdrew, Ji Minglan returned to join the battle, and the two thousand Manzhen foot soldiers who were still resisting stubbornly fell into a desperate situation.

The morale of the Manchu army, isolated and besieged, finally collapsed, and after there was no hope of breaking through, the remaining soldiers in the Manchu army chose to surrender.

The war stopped, and while everyone else was cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Fan had a little respite and took the opportunity to look forward to the entire battlefield. After a big battle, it was as if it had been stained with blood, and everywhere was red.

The hot blood melted the snow on the ground, soaked even the hard frozen ground in the cold winter, and the blood-red mud was everywhere the horses' hooves.

Countless soldiers fell on the battlefield, both officers and soldiers, and there were also Manzhen troops. Of these, the dead have long since stood still, and the still alive are still wailing.

A large number of crows hovered overhead, flapping their wings and making noise, as if waiting for a feast to begin, waiting for the humans below to leave, who seemed to only kill each other, so that they could feast on it.

Lin Fan rode a horse to inspect the battlefield, both Lin Fan and the war horse were covered with blood, which made his whole body red.

The war horse kept panting, and its heavy breathing turned into two white mist in the cold wind, spewing out far and then disappearing into the wet and heavy air.

It was badly wounded, but it still limped along the muddy battlefield with its equally badly wounded owner.

Lin Fan knew that the war horse was very tired, so he patted the war horse's neck and comforted it, as if he was comforting an old friend who had been friends for many years.

He suddenly felt that the whole world had become silent, as if everything was moving away from him.

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves, the wails of wounded soldiers, and the shouts between people all quickly blurred until they disappeared.

His eyes were ethereal and his eyes darkened, as if something had isolated him from everything in the world, making him an outsider. He even felt that he was floating in the sky overlooking the earth, and as he flew higher and higher, the entire battlefield, the capital, and all the land of Gyeonggi were taken into his eyes.

"Whoop, whoop!" Both the horse and he were panting, as if there was only one voice left in the world.

He couldn't hear, he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't speak, he just felt like the world was spinning. He felt that he was moving away from it all, and it made him frightened.

At this moment, suddenly a touch of red appeared in front of his eyes, closer and closer, closer and closer.

For some reason, this red color made him feel close and dependent, and it made him no longer feel worried and afraid.

So he couldn't help but reach out and grab it, trying to touch the red, but his hand just fell into the air, and couldn't touch anything.

"Smack!" In this battle, the spear that he never left fell to the ground and rolled to the side.

"Smack!" Lin Fan, who lost consciousness, fell from his horse, splashing a large pool of muddy blood.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency! What happened to you? An Ning, who was following Lin Fan's side, and the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield around them were taken aback by this sudden incident, and they all hurriedly surrounded them.

Lin Ruxian, who rushed to the scene, separated everyone, regardless of the fact that he was still wearing an official uniform, picked up his son, who was covered with scars and muddy water, and kept shouting: "Fan'er, Fan'er, wake up, I'm my father!" ”

Lin Ruxian's voice became more and more urgent, but Lin Fan couldn't hear all this.

Lin Ruxian was in tears, he hugged Lin Fan tightly and hugged him into his arms: "Fan'er, let's go, let's go home!" ”
