"Your Highness, there are already defeated troops along the coast!" Lin Shaozong's eyes were sharp, and in the early hours of the morning, he immediately found a large number of routs fleeing along the coast.

There is no doubt that this could not be the soldiers and horses who fled back from Ningyuan, it can only be said that they were routed on the side of Yushui.

But in the farther direction, the ships reported that there were more than 1,000 Donghu cavalry, and they were not far behind these defeated soldiers, and the nearest was not more than twenty miles away.

Everyone's eyes are focused on Xu Zixian, how to decide, can only look at this prince of Kaifu.

Qin Dongyang went to Fuzhou with the first army, Liu Yi was in Luzon, the Ge brothers led the army to Qianzhou, and Zhang Huchen's troops were stationed in Fuzhou to guard the rear, and at the same time received war horses and organized cavalry training.

Lin Cunxin, Jin Baoyi, Wu Wei and other heavy generals, or led their troops to move to Jianzhou, Tingzhou, or prepared to enter Jiangxi, under the command of Qin Dongyang and Ge Cunzhong and other generals to pursue and annihilate Li Kaiming's troops, the next step of the Ge family brothers is to go to the Hongdu area, Qin Dongyang and Jin Baoyi and others, before the summer, into Jingnan and Jingbei.

Before the end of the year, the government army will set up more than a dozen chamber capitals, with more than 300,000 people, the number of officers and men of the naval division will be expanded to 100,000, and the total number of naval and land divisions will exceed 400,000.

There are not many generals going north, and the elite is insufficient, so when it comes to making a decision, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will also find it quite difficult?

……

On the other side of the sea, Yue Zhi and the others also saw a large number of ships on the sea at about the same time.

Many people can't believe it, and even rub their eyes again and again to be sure.

The fleet of more than 1,000 ships, a large number of sailing ships of all kinds, small fishing boats used by the sea, merchant ships, warships, whatever kind of ships, regardless of whether they were north or south, more than 1,000 ships were requisitioned.

This time, strictly speaking, it was completely a spontaneous act of the people, Xu Zixian led, Wang Zhi cooperated, and did not pass through the imperial court at all, and the soldiers of the trapped Northern Expedition Forbidden Army certainly did not know that there was such a fleet waiting for them.

In the battle of Songjin in history, Wu Sangui and other general soldiers fled first, and the Qing army then covered up and killed, and the corpses went along the Songshan Tashan and other forts to the coast of western Liaoning, more than 60,000 people were killed along these places, and decades later during the Kangxi period, some people could still find piles of white bones when passing through the seaside of western Liaoning.

If there were also ships at that time, the situation would have been very different, and there would not have been so many Ming troops killed by the Qing army on the beach or drowned.

When they saw the ship, everyone, including Yue Zhi, had round eyes, and their faces showed an incredible expression.

The people who were crying also got up from the ground, they were also simple and tough men, and only when they were too desperate would they have such a breakdown, and when hope appeared again, they immediately calmed down.

Yue Zhi immediately said: "Everyone gave me an order, and all those who still have weapons, whether they are bows and arrows, horizontal knives, even ritual knives, even daggers and knives, as long as they have weapons, they will gather together and form a military formation." Those who are unarmed can flee to the beach in all directions, and the ships at sea will rescue them first. ”

First a dozen people, then dozens of people, hundreds of people, more than a thousand people began to shout, and the soldiers of the forbidden army with weapons did not discard their weapons, but showed a tough expression on their faces, they began to gather, and then saw Taiwei Yue Zhi holding a horizontal knife and striding towards the soldiers of the forbidden army with weapons.

"I'm not leaving." Yue Zhi said loudly as he walked: "I know that everyone is so tired that it is difficult to stand, but since there are ships on the sea to save us, a brother who can live is one, we can't die worthless, like wild dogs killed in the wasteland, if there is no chance, it is okay, now there is a chance, everyone will straighten their waists, even if they die, they are still a good man standing and dying!" ”

Yue Zhi has been in the army for more than 30 years, and he has been the commander for many years, at this time, he can be regarded as saying to the bottom of the hearts of the soldiers, even if he has no strength, and it is even difficult to stand, many soldiers of the forbidden army with weapons still slowly gather together, pin their faces, no longer look at the sea, and face the place where the Donghu people will rush to kill.

They were ragged, no armor, only the last weapon, a long sword, a horizontal knife, and even only a dagger, a short knife, but no one retreated, and no one complained, they were originally quite tough and resolute men, they have always fought in the front line of the Hu cavalry, brave and tenacious is the most basic thing, and it can even be said that it is instinct.

Yue Zhi gathered more than 1,000 people in a short period of time, forming a long defense line, thin and fragile, people with a little battlefield experience also know that it can not withstand the rush of about 1,000 Hu cavalry, as long as the East Hu cavalry penetrates the front once, this fragile defense line will be directly rushed across, but all the weapons are gathered together, without hesitation, no one hesitates, and even the forbidden army who has just beaten the ground and is crying, at this time is also holding their own weapons, standing in the defense line.

Some bare-handed soldiers of the forbidden army also wanted to join, but they were driven away by Yue Zhi's faction.

Many military attachés and soldiers of the forbidden army rushed to the seashore, some people had already waded into the water, and many small boats had come up, and at most a quarter to two quarters of an hour, at least thousands of people would be rescued.

Yue Zhi's expression was calm, and there was no lack of comfort.

More than 100,000 people are buried in a foreign land, even if the more than 10,000 people in front of them escape, they can't make up for the losses and change nothing. But as the commander of the army, he could see so many brothers escaping in a desperate situation, Yue Zhi's heart was full of calm and joy at this time, and the only problem was the pursuing Donghu cavalry that gradually emerged on the horizon.

"Come on, sons." Yue Zhi held a horizontal knife, his heart was calm, and he felt that the pride and ambition of practicing martial arts when he was a teenager had returned to his body, with his skills, even if he was taken as a head, he could kill at least ten or eight, and before he died, he must kill enough to kill him.

At this time, one of the guards suddenly said: "Captain, there is a ship near the sea in front of us, and a soldier has come down from the ship." ”

About a few miles away, sure enough, there were more than 100 ships docked in front of them, and under the command of the banner, countless soldiers wearing armor and holding long guns, bows and arrows, and divine arms and bows jumped down from small boats, waded through the sea, quickly went ashore, and then began to form a formation on the shore.

Judging from Yue Zhi's experience, this army was decisive, brave, and swift, and there was no doubt that it had undergone arduous training judging from the movements of the formation, and it was undoubtedly an elite force from the perspective of armor and weapons, at least it seemed that it was not under the forbidden army.

However, with Yue Zhi's experience in leading the troops for more than ten years, this army is still a little immature, and many actions are still a little rusty and difficult, it can be seen that this is an army that has undergone hard training, but the time is not too long, and it has not gone through many actual battles.

But more and more troops came ashore, soon exceeding three thousand, and with all the weapons, armor, shields, arms, bows, and so on, and in less than two quarters of an hour this army was assembled, and, to the beat of drums, began to move forward to cover the flank of the defeated forbidden army.

One in front and one behind, one on the left and one on the right, the troops of more than 3,000 people and more than 1,000 people were separated by less than three miles, forming two military formations covering each other.

Yue Zhi nodded slightly, feeling that the military attache of the army in front of him was quite mature and sophisticated, at least when commanding an army of 3,000 people, he did not feel strained, nor did he see that he was too nervous on such a battlefield, so that the actions of the command were deformed.

At this time, there were many soldiers of the forbidden army looking at the flag in front of them, not far away, and on the unobstructed seaside, everyone quickly confirmed that the banner in front of them was not a certain part of the northern forbidden army, nor the southern forbidden army, nor the box army, but the Qin Wangfu army from Fuzhou.

The military flag of the Great Wei, the forbidden army, the box army, and the Lang Wei all have their own characteristics, and the prince of Kaifu can use his own prince title as the logo of the banner of the government army, and the banner fluttering in front of the eyes of the defeated and forbidden army is the word "Qin" that is quite conspicuous in the middle of the banner, except for the prince of Kaifu, many other princes can only be in charge of their own hundreds of guards, and are not qualified to name the guards with the title of the prince.

At this moment, everyone including Yue Zhi felt stunned.

Yue Zhi could faintly think that the imperial court must have been out of order in the north for a long time, and it was impossible to deploy so many ships to the beach to rescue, he originally thought that it was just Wang Zhi dispatching ships, but now he understands that Wang Zhi's prestige and real power are simply not enough to mobilize such a huge scene in front of him, and there are at least hundreds of ships on the coastline of ten miles, and the ships in front are still continuous, indicating that there must be more than a thousand ships at sea, and thousands of sea ships have been mobilized, and tens of thousands of personnel are involved. If Wang Zhi has such an ability, the imperial court will be more wary and restricted by Wang Zhi, and will not give him a chance to mobilize at all, even if the Northern Expedition forbidden army is all abandoned, the imperial court will not let the attached pirates make such a big scene between the elbows and armpits, this kind of threat will make the Son of Heaven and the two governments uneasy more than the attack of the Donghu people in a year or two later.

Now it is certain that His Royal Highness the King of Qin led the sailors from the south to the north, and only this Prince of Kaifu can ignore suspicion at this time, but also can make this kind of determination, with this strength and prestige, the Son of Heaven and the two governments will only acquiesce, if the rescue is successful, the prestige of the King of Qin will go to a higher level, and it will be difficult for the Son of Heaven and the two governments to suppress it again.

For public and private purposes, it is reasonable for His Royal Highness King Qin to take such a trip, but Yue Zhi did not expect that His Royal Highness King Qin would send his army ashore to take such a risk!

For a while, an indescribable emotion came to my heart, the suppression of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the temptation, the coercion, the internal discord, the external pressure, all kinds of constraints, what happened not long ago was shaking in front of Yue Zhi's eyes like a marquee, for a while, this iron-like man was actually a tiger with tears in his eyes, if the center of the court was such a responsible man as King Qin, how could the state affairs come to such a point, and how could this war be the result in front of him?
