Chapter 297: Escape

However, Xue stumbled out of the ruins of the palace with Emperor Zhizheng all the way, and then stepped up towards the location of the big tent. Seeing that Emperor Zheng's size was no less than one hundred and eighty pounds, the poor Xue Xue was so tired that he didn't run fast like a dead dog.

From the ruins of the palace to the big tent where he camped, it was only two miles away, and he walked for a long time, but when he arrived at the place, Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but be angry.

The big tent that was supposed to be handled by Xue layer by layer, but there was no one to guard it at the moment, only the palace maids and eunuchs who were headless and flying around, and the tent was also empty, and there was no shadow of the queen and the prince at all.

He grabbed a eunuch by the collar and asked viciously, "What about the queen and the crown prince?" ”

"The queen and the crown prince are gone? Why didn't the emperor go together! The eunuch's face was also full of consternation and doubt.

"What about my Kexue! They wouldn't have gone without my orders! ”

Cowardly Xue was the emperor's pro-army, and only obeyed the orders of Yuan Tianzi, and most of them were served by the children of meritorious and official officials. Being the emperor's cowardice is still a shortcut to promotion, and many high-ranking officials in the Yuan court have done cowardice.

However, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the cowardly Xue system was completely corrupted, and it was just a commodity with no combat effectiveness, and it became a cancer on the Yuan court. With such guards, it is no wonder that Emperor Zhizheng has no confidence in most of the guards, but now he doesn't even seem to have these looks.

The eunuch seemed to understand something, but his lips trembled and said, "It was the prince who took your tiger talisman and transferred them away!" ”

When Emperor Zhizheng heard this, he fell into an ice cave, and his hand holding the eunuch's collar began to tremble, and his knuckles were pinched white, "It's that cheap woman from the Qi family!" "Only Queen Qi knows where he hid the cowardly Xue Troop Mobilization Tiger Talisman, and there can be no one else.

"! No, Xiao Zi! They want me to be a captive of the Southern Barbarians, so that I can go to Yingchang and become the emperor! Hahaha......"

It can be said that Emperor Zhizheng is a faint king, but he is by no means stupid but extremely shrewd. In the seventy years before the Great Yuan, there were ten emperors, and he sat firmly as the emperor for thirty years.

He guessed the thoughts of the mother and son at once, but his heart was extremely desperate, he let go of the eunuch and looked up to the sky and laughed, his eyes were full of sadness, even his favorite wife and son were going to fall into his death, such a betrayal even an emperor could not stand.

Seeing Emperor Zhizheng stumbling under his feet, Dai Qin hurriedly held his arm, "Your Majesty, you have to cheer up, now is not the time to be sad and sad, Weichen will go and chase the crown prince and cowardly Xue back now!" ”

"It's too late, they must be blocking the city gate now, waiting for their lives, even if you take my holy decree to pass, it's useless, it's all your men, you don't know."

"Then let's hurry up and chase them, otherwise the Nanban will arrive, and we have already arrived at the south gate of the inner city after hearing this movement."

"That's right! Right! Right! Even if I die, I can't be a prisoner of the Nanban, take me away! As soon as Emperor Zhizheng's words fell, he heard the rumbling cannon sound in the north, and he smiled coldly: "Let's not chase them, let them attract the Ming army for me, hum!" ”

Emperor Zhizheng changed into civilian clothes, and went to the place where the jade seal was placed to check it, and sure enough, it was gone. The queen and the crown prince seemed to be in a hurry, only bringing the tiger talisman and the emperor's seal, and there were still a lot of treasures in the account, but unfortunately he couldn't take them away, I was afraid that they would have to be cheap Ming army.

When Emperor Zheng found out that his Wuyun car was gone, he cursed again in his heart that the mother and son were bombarded into slag by the artillery of the Ming army.

They were not idle along the way, and when they saw the soldiers, they recruited them, and by the time they reached the south gate, there were almost a thousand people, and fortunately they found hundreds of horses at the south gate. Compared with the rumbling cannons from time to time in the north and south directions, there is no movement on the west gate.

According to the soldiers on the city wall, there were only a small number of Ming cavalry reconnaissance outside the gate. Emperor Zhizheng was immediately glad for his wise decision. Then he took the defenders of the south gate out of the inner city, and when he understood that there was no Ming army in the south city, he immediately asked the soldiers to grab horses everywhere.

These Mengyuan people who live in yurts in the outer city, each family has a horse in the city, and even more than one, when they heard the movement of the Ming army attacking the city, they were fleeing to the south gate with their families riding horses and chariots.

Emperor Zhizheng doesn't care about this, where is other people's lives as important as his life, it didn't take much effort, and these Yuan soldiers who scattered out grabbed a large number of horses, as many as 2,000.

If he didn't encounter a large force of Ming troops, these two thousand people would be enough to escort him to Yingchang, and he would take these two thousand cavalry to the south gate of the outer city at that moment. Kill whom? Of course, whoever stands in his way will be killed, including those Mengyuan people who fled for their lives, more than 2,000 horsemen rode all the way to blood, and the speed was quite fast.

When his horse rushed out of the south gate of the outer city, he found that there was no Ming army outside the south gate at all, and Emperor Zhizheng couldn't help but be proud, "I have escaped!" ”

Li Wenzhong guessed very accurately, after Ma Du attacked Shangdu from the south gate, the Yuan army fled from the north gate one after another, from the beginning of the sporadic dozens of horses, hundreds of horses, and then thousands, until there was a steady stream of Yuan troops rushing out of the city gate, almost blocking the city gate.

However, the scene on the north side of the gate was surprisingly strange, the Yuan soldiers kept coming out of the city gate, but there was a Ming army about three hundred steps away from the west of the city gate.

This is not strange, the strange thing is that the two sides are close at hand, the Yuan army does not come to attack this group of Ming troops, and the Ming army does not attack the Yuan army, in each other's eyes, the other party seems to be more like air.

Such a strange scene is actually very easy to explain, Li Wenzhong's men only have a total of 3,000 horses, and the cavalry is only half, but only 1,500 people. As for the number of these Yuan soldiers, he couldn't count them, and the number of Yuan troops coming out of the city gate was at least 20,000.

The army has an obvious disadvantage, if the 1,500 cavalry under this command is exhausted, do you want to capture the Tartar Emperor? Therefore, he has to see the opportunity to hit with one blow, and as for when Emperor Zhizheng will come out, it is up to him to judge. If he could have 10,000 cavalry under his command, he would have rushed over and served these Yuan soldiers and the Tartar Emperor in a whole pot.

As for why the Yuan army didn't come to fight the Ming army, it would be better understood. They are running for their lives, and since you don't stop me from running for my life, there is no need to hit you.

There is another reason that it can't be beaten, and there have been Yuan soldiers who didn't know how to come over and touch the mold, leaving only nearly a thousand corpses, and the casualties of the Ming army are negligible.

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the darkness came towards the Ming army, and a smile appeared on Li Wenzhong's face, "Brothers' eyes widened, the Tartar Emperor is coming out!" ”
