Chapter 298: Pursuit

It was a group of Yuan soldiers who had already left the city, and suddenly turned their heads and rushed towards the Ming army, hearing this movement of about 2,000 people, Li Wenzhong immediately ordered the artillery battalion to turn part of the artillery to aim at the incoming enemy, and the other part of the artillery was still aimed near the city gate.

Although Li Wenzhong was young, he was an old man on the battle array, even if the other party did not fire torches in the dark night, he could judge the distance of the enemy army by just listening to the sound of hooves, he estimated that the enemy army was already within the range of the artillery, and immediately shouted: "Open the artillery!" ”

There was a rumbling cannon sound, and the screams of people and the neighing of horses were immediately heard in the distance, and before the enemy could continue to approach, Li Wenzhong immediately ordered the musket battalion to go out to meet the enemy, and at the same time discharged more than 600 cavalry to guard the flank of the musket battalion.

The gunner, who had been observing the city gates, suddenly shouted loudly, "Carriage! The carriage of the Tartar Emperor! ”

When I turned my head, I saw a carriage out of the city gate with an open fire, and the carriage was very tall and large, occupying almost the entire official road. Even if he was surrounded by cavalry, he could still clearly see the bright yellow roof that was much higher than the head, and the roof was jeweled, and he didn't know how much gold and jade was inlaid with it, so there was no doubt that it was the emperor's car.

"What the hell are you still doing in a daze, don't hurry up and fire the gun!" At the sound of his order, thirty cannons roared at the same time, and the canisters flew out, scattering countless projectiles at the enemy.

The fleeing team of the Yuan soldiers was beaten to a stagnation, especially the dozens of steps before and after the luxurious carriage, which was forced to break out of a gap, and blood splattered corpses all over the ground. The carriage was also battered and stopped in place, and the six beautiful white horses pulling the carriage fell to the ground and were dying in their struggles.

"Brothers, rush with me!" Li Wenzhong rushed towards the carriage with the remaining 900 cavalry. At this moment, the remnants of the Yuan soldiers quickly fled or retreated back into the city. Of course, there are also a lot of loyal Yuan soldiers who came to intercept them, looking at their clothes, they should all be the emperor's but Xue, but it is a pity that they are loyal and have no combat power.

Li Wenzhong didn't have the heart to play with them at this time, so he ordered the soldiers to take out the grenades from the jackets, and as soon as they came up, they gave the Yuan soldiers dry goods, and let them disperse with only one round of explosions.

He quickly rushed to the carriage with the cavalry, and shouted loudly: "Come out, the people inside are fucking Lao Tzu out!" But there was a deathly silence in the carriage.

Looking at the holes in the body, Li Wenzhong said: "The prince of the Tartars should not be killed." "There were torches on the carriage that had not yet been extinguished, and he had been keeping an eye on the situation when he came in a surprise attack just now, and no one had come down at all.

The sergeant picked up the curtain with a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, and after only one glance, he turned back to Li Wenzhong and said, "There is no one in the deputy marshal!" ”

Li Wenzhong couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, "Are you fooled?" ”

He was hesitating when a soldier ran over and said, "Someone shot this arrow into the artillery position just now!" So saying, he came up with an arrow, and the shaft of the arrow was tightly wrapped with a strip of white cloth.

The strip of cloth should be the fabric of the torn clothes, and the words "The emperor came out of the west gate" were written in blood, and Li Wenzhong raised his eyebrows, "What about people! ”

The soldier replied, "Run away!" ”

His pair of Danfeng eyes narrowed into a slit again, and his heart hesitated, the other party used small clothes and fabrics to make paper and blood to make ink, obviously written in a hurry, and he first thought of the elusive inspection behind enemy lines. But since it was an inspector, there was no reason not to come to see him, which made him suspect that this was the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

He was hesitating when two more horsemen came to the west, and before the horses could stop, he jumped down, and said to him breathlessly, "Lieutenant Marshal, two thousand Tartar cavalry have come out of the west gate." ”

Li Wenzhong did not have enough troops to surround the four gates, but he also planted a fine work at the west gate, and the reason why the east gate did not have it was because there was a ditch for water supply to the upper capital, which was not suitable for a large number of people and horses to escape.

Now it seems that this heart eye is really not in vain, and he immediately pinched off the arrow shaft in his hand, "Damn it!" Really fooled! ”

He immediately beat his horse back, and saw that Tang Ding's musket battalion had already defeated the Yuan soldiers just now, so he ordered: "Emperor Tang Ding's Tartar has fled from the West Gate, I will chase after him, you quickly pack up and follow, and the six hundred cavalry will be left to you!" ”

Tang Ding saluted: "Although the deputy marshal brought all the cavalry over, he didn't want the cavalry to be able to kill the enemy like our musket battalion...... Vice-marshal! Vice-marshal! Watching Li Wenzhong gallop away, Tang Ding muttered: "Treat us as young master soldiers again." Let's go to the West Gate to catch the Tartar Emperor! ”

The two shadows on the head of the city saw the Ming army under the city pedaling away, and took a long breath, and one of them said: "Queen Mother, we can go out of the city." ”

A calm female voice said lightly: "Thanks to my son, I have a good plan!" ”

"It's just that the child thinks that the Nanban doesn't seem to have many troops this time, and he escaped a little bit at a loss."

"It's because there are few Southern Barbarian soldiers, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape if we wanted to, but pity your father and the emperor for fear of being a prisoner of the Southern Barbarians this time."

The man sighed and said, "My father is old, and it is better to go to the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River to enjoy happiness than to eat sand in Mobei!" ”

As a nation on horseback, Emperor Zhizheng of course knows how to ride horses, but he has been pampered over the years, and he has been obsessed with bed sports, and he has long been hollowed out by wine.

Riding a horse is actually a hard job, Emperor Zhizheng rode from the inner city to the outer city, but since he ran wild out of the outer city, his body couldn't stand it.

His face was flushed, his heart was beating wildly, as if there was a fire burning in his chest, and he couldn't breathe, and it seemed that he could pull it out. Seeing his appearance, Dai Qin ordered the team to stop and find a hidden place to rest.

Emperor Zhizheng shook his head and refused, "Now...... It's not a break...... When we ...... Let's go slower, I...... I can hold it! ”

In the end, he is not the kind of faint monarch in the absolute sense, he can distinguish the priorities, and the current more than 2,000 horsemen have slowed down, but in this way, Li Wenzhong will be given a chance.

In less than a moment of incense, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them. Emperor Zhizheng finally panicked at this moment, he didn't believe that the queen and the crown prince had a good intention to send someone to protect him, and hurriedly asked Dai Qin next to him, "Nanban is chasing after him, what should I do!" ”

Dai Qin said: "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to the sound of horses' hooves, at most, ignore more than 1,000 horses, we have more than 2,000 people, we will be able to protect Your Majesty thoroughly, and Weichen will send someone to intercept it." ”

Emperor Zhizheng knew in his heart that their 2,000 cavalry could not beat the 1,000 cavalry of the Ming army, and if they were replaced by Wang Baobao's elite, it would be possible to fight one-on-one with the Ming army.

Emperor Zhizheng understood the truth, and Dai Qin also understood that just now it was just words to comfort Emperor Zhizheng. The emperor's cowardice is not all bad seeds, there must always be a few capable people to fill the faΓ§ade, and his Hadan Baatar is worthy of the name of a warrior.

He instructed Hadan Battle: "If you take 2,000 men to intercept the Ming army, even if you die, you will have to drag me for half an hour!" ”
