Chapter 429: Decisive Battle in the Capital

Peach Chase Tiger was covered with iron armor, and outsiders couldn't see his face clearly, but after Father-in-law Yu gave the order, Peach Chase Tiger obviously had a pause.

Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhuhu was hesitant, and then the gaze that Tao Zhuhu threw at him confirmed his thoughts.

Lan Ziyi nodded slightly at Tao Zhuhu in agreement, and after Tao Zhuhu was affirmed by Lan Ziyi, he promised to Yu Gonggong:

"Father-in-law, don't worry, the last general will go to protect King De now."

After saying that, the peach chased the tiger and raised the whip to urge the horse, wanting to chase the king of virtue. However, Father-in-law Yu stopped Peach Chase Tiger at this time, and only heard Father-in-law Yu say:

"What? Do you go like a man? I can't go to guard a prince in person, it's just that, what do you say when you go over alone to be a guard? Bring it all! Just go! “

Tao Zhuhu was embarrassed and said:

"Father-in-law, now that the victory or defeat of the whole army hangs on the line, there are no available soldiers on the battlefield here, how can this battle be fought if Tiefutu is transferred away?"

Father-in-law Yu was furious after being hit by the peach chasing tiger, and he scolded:

"It's already a great sin for me not to go to guard King De, and you still care how I fight?

I have the final say on how to fight, you don't need to care! You quickly take Tiefutu to protect King De, and don't give me more nonsense! “

When Tao Zhuhu was scolded by the Yu father-in-law, he turned his head and secretly glanced at Lan Ziyi, and after the fish father-in-law finished scolding, Tao Zhuhu said with a rare protest:

"Father-in-law! The demon thieves did not have enough troops, and they did not form an encirclement of our whole army, and it was enough for me to bring a hundred horsemen to protect King De. “

When Tao Zhuhu saw that glance, Lan Ziyi realized his intentions, Tao Zhuhu wanted to leave Tiefutu, and his intention was to consider the overall situation, but it was more for Lan Ziyi. Because now Tao Zhulu is no more, and when Tao Zhuhu leaves, the only one who can lead the troops is Lan Ziyi, and Tao Zhuhu is not willing to let Lan Ziyi fall into danger in the enemy position alone, especially when the situation is unfavorable in this kind of battle.

It's just that Grandpa Yu doesn't need to make such considerations, Peach Chase Tiger has angered Daddy Yu by not obeying orders twice in a row, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at Peach Chase Tiger and scolded:

"Peach Chase Tiger, if it weren't for the fact that there is no one available now, I would have beheaded you immediately to show the public! Don't talk nonsense, you order three hundred horses to protect King De, go quickly! King De's fast horse didn't know where it had gone for a long time! “

Tao Zhuhu finally didn't dare to say anything more when he heard this, he nodded in half a circle and then nodded on the soldiers and horses, and when he passed by Lan Ziyi, Tao Zhuhu nodded to Lan Ziyi, and hurried away without saying any more.

At this time, the whole battlefield was already in chaos, and the demon thieves had lost all their cavalry, but they had already surrounded the main eastern army in the center of the circle; Although the official army had cavalry to maneuver, the rout had spread to the whole army, and although the Beijing army in this formation had fled, the Dongzhen soldiers who had withdrawn from the front line were scattered all around. Those Dongzhen soldiers who were surrounded didn't want to run, but they couldn't run anymore.

After Tao Chahu left, Father-in-law Yu slowly turned around with a calm face, facing the battlefield, looking like he should want to stabilize the morale of the army. Lan Ziyi slowly rode his horse and followed the Yu father-in-law, and the father and son of the Qiu family also urged the horse to follow. Qiu Xiao said directly:

"As soon as King De retreated just now, our army had the tendency to collapse, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army in front of him were also fleeing. The demon thieves attacked, not leaving a way out for the deserters, but surrounded the Dongzhen Corps, it can be seen that Lei Youde has exhausted his wisdom, he is here to fight today, and now the results of the encirclement of the official army are what he did not expect in advance. “

During Qiu Xiaozhi's speech, Father-in-law Yu had already walked to the position to stop him, and when he heard the words, he said lightly, "Go on"

Qiu Xiaozhi stopped with Father-in-law Yu, nodded after hearing the words, and then said:

"If the eastern army is not surrounded, it will be defeated, and now it is surrounded and it will become a combat force, and the demon thieves have gathered the scattered army for us, and at the same time crucified them there. It's just that the besieged Dongzhen soldiers also fought involuntarily, they were forced to stay in desperation, if they can't defeat the demon thieves, it is impossible for the Dongzhen soldiers to return to the command of their father-in-law. “

Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu asked:

"In that case, what is your best plan to retreat from the enemy?"

At this time, Qiu Wenruo opened his mouth and said:

"If the last cavalry of the demon thieves who came to the thin formation just now is the demon thief, then the demon thief will not have the strength to threaten us now. In this case, the father-in-law can first use his subordinate Shenji battalion to stabilize the position, collect the Dongzhen rout, and then order a general to lead the Tiefutu to the side of the demon thief encirclement, and at the same time order Tao Zhulu, order him and the Jihu battalion to go around to another place of the demon thief, and after the Yu father-in-law has collected the troops, he will attack on three sides, and the besieged Dongzhen soldiers should be combined with the outside, and then the besieged will become a demon thief. “

When Father-in-law Yu heard this, a slight smile finally appeared on his cold face, and he smiled:

"Clever plan, your father and son have been buried in the capital for all these years."

Then Father-in-law Yu shouted to Lan Ziyi:

"Ziyi! It's you who block my way and let me fight, then you go and get the rest of the Iron Floating Tu to go around to the side of the demon thief, and wait for me to signal us to attack on all three sides! “

Lan Ziyi hugged his fists and promised when he heard this, and the father and son of the enemy family looked back at Lan Ziyi in shame when they heard the words. It was the clever plan of his father and son that caused Lan Ziyi to put himself in danger.

However, Lan Ziyi didn't care about this, he nodded and signaled that the father and son of the Qiu family should not worry, and said to the father and son:

"The two gentlemen stayed in the camp with their father-in-law, and they should not hide anything."

After saying that, Lan Ziyi shouted to those Tiefutu:

"Soldiers! Come with me! “

After saying that, he rushed out first, and when Yu Gonggong saw that Lan Ziyi had already come out of the battle, he snapped his fingers at the two hundred iron floating slaughter, and said at the same time:

"Protect Wei Hou well, if Wei Hou is harmful, I will take your head!"

When those ironclad elites heard this, they hurriedly replied in unison:

"Father-in-law, don't worry!"

Then the horses of Qi Qi brushed and stepped forward to protect Lan Ziyi. After Lan Ziyi walked out of the formation, he slowed down the horse's speed, and made a leisurely detour to the side of the demon thief. Those Tiefutu who urged the horses to gallop originally thought that they were going to gallop with Lan Ziyi, but they had to rein their horses halfway and follow Lan Ziyi slowly, which made these ironclad knights with horse harness take a lot of effort.

After everyone followed Lan Ziyi, a soldier asked:

"Why did Wei Hou suddenly slow down?"

Lan Ziyi raised his neck to look at the Dongzhen soldiers and demon thieves who were fighting on the other end, and said when he heard the words:

"If I don't slow down, do I just rush over? Can you point me to a good place? ”

Seeing that Tiefutu no longer spoke, Lan Ziyi said again:

"You ironclad horsemen are mighty, but the load of the horses is too heavy, they can't run for too long, and they will break the thieves later, if I take you to speed up the charge now, will your horses still have the strength in a while?"

The soldiers nodded when they heard this, and then someone asked:

"It's right for Wei Hou to slow down the horse, but if the demon thief comes to attack us and others like this, I will have to let the horse run away, so that the horse will still suffer."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi raised his whip and pointed at the demon thief, and he said:

"Do you see the demon thief like he is now, like he can send troops to attack me?"

Everyone followed Lan Ziyi's point, and sure enough, the demon thief was fighting with the Dongzhen soldiers at this time, and they did not have an advantage in strength, so they really had no spare strength to divide their troops to threaten Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi said again:

"The defensive strength of the Yu Gonggong's main formation is insufficient, and the demon thieves can't draw people to attack, I'm just a guerrilla army, why do the demon thieves need to bother to come and bite me? You're overthinking. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded again, and someone asked Lan Ziyi:

"Marquis Wei, my father-in-law didn't show us the direction of the attack, where should we go?"

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The Jihu battalion is on the left, and after my second brother gathers the soldiers of that battalion, he will definitely attack from the left, so let's just go around to the right."

When the soldiers heard this, they exclaimed:

"Wei Hou is really a clever calculation, he just made a single attack, and he calculated everything that should be calculated."

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly when he heard this:

"You better tell King De more about this, I'm not good at this."

Then Lan Ziyi asked:

"I didn't see Zhang Yanwu in the camp, presumably he should have come to the front line with the army, but I haven't seen his figure for half a day, where did he go? Didn't I see it when I left it in the big tent? ”

After hearing this, the Tiefutu turned their heads and inquired about Zhang Yanwu's whereabouts, and then a soldier in the back row replied:

"Back to Weihou, I have seen Zhang Senjun, Zhang Senjun did come to the front line with his father-in-law, but Zhang Senjun was sent by King De to Qi Hou to lead the troops together."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi asked:

"Zhang Yanwu dislocated one shoulder, how can he go to the front line? Why did King Tak arrange it this way? ”

The sergeant replied:

"When King De set up the formation, Zhang Senjun strongly objected, and when he joined the army, he said that his grandfather was not in this way at all, and King De was angry and arranged Zhang Senjun to the front, saying that since Zhang Senjun knew how his grandfather had a big account, he would go to the front to supervise the army to fight."

Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this, shook his head and stopped talking.

As he spoke, the group had already circled the side of the thief, and a sergeant pointed to the front and said:

"Wei Hou, look, there are people surrounded over there."

Lan Ziyi was still bowing his head and sighing, and when he heard this, he said:

"The whole army of Dongzhen soldiers is surrounded, aren't you talking nonsense?"

At this time, more sergeants pointed to Lan Ziyi, and they said to Lan Ziyi in a gossipy manner:

"No, Wei Hou, there are people over there who are surrounded outside the big array!"

Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked up over there.

------------------------------------------

Qi Rongxun was reluctant to listen to King De's bullshit arrangement from the beginning to come out in a circle, his more than 80,000 people in Dongzhen were equal to the number of demon thieves, according to his plan, these 80,000 people were in several formations according to the battalions and flags, the long soldiers were in front, and the shotguns were in the back, even if the demon thieves did not take the initiative to attack, these Dongzhen soldiers could also wipe out the demon thieves. But the king wanted to huddle people together and form a circle, so why didn't he tell everyone in advance last night?

This is also every night, after Qi Rongxun finally brought his soldiers to the front, the cannon behind him actually thought, the damn cannonball actually exploded into his own crowd, and there were many soldiers flying flesh and blood at the moment, Qi Rongxun heard it clearly, and a sergeant beside him asked loudly:

"Why did the Shenji Battalion shoot at its own people?"
