Chapter 532: The Battle of Beijing (10)

It was not only the Mengren who were frightened by the successive changes, but the more than 1,000 people led by Hua Xian were also stunned on the spot, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

This implementation came too quickly, and just now I was worried that Beijing would be attacked by the Tatars, but in the blink of an eye, it was a counter-killing. And the sudden artillery salvo was even more undreamable, even if they themselves were the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they had never had the idea of bombarding the Mongolian cavalry with artillery. Judging from the results, this is indeed a killer move against the cavalry.

After coming back to his senses, Hua Xian unconsciously had a thought in his heart: Could it be that Lu Zhen really knew that there was such an arrangement in the city, so he was sure that we would be able to win this battle? If that were the case, it would have been a mistake to force these people here......

After his face was red and white for a while, Hua Xian finally put this strange idea behind him, and suddenly waved his knife and pointed at the black Mengda camp in front of him: "Soldiers, at this time, you are breaking the enemy and making meritorious contributions, kill!" "Since you have come here by mistake, let's do your part and help the army annihilate the Tartars! At the shouting, he had already taken the lead and rushed over.

Hearing this, the other soldiers finally recovered from the shock just now, and one by one they followed behind their own commanders with excited faces, screaming, holding muskets and carrying broadswords on their backs, and covered the Mongolian military camp in front of them.

The camp of the Mongolian people was still silent at this time, although Hua Xian was menacing and the movement was not small, but almost no one came out to meet them. Because this time, he first gambled everything on the onslaught on Beijing, and he didn't think that there would be a Ming army on his side.

But the facts gave them a big lesson, Hua Xian was stunned to kill more than 1,000 people, and they had plans to attack the Mongolian camp, so they not only brought weapons with them, but also hid some fire-igniting things. At this time, without any hindrance, they killed the Mongolian camp in front of and behind, and they quickly lit a fire and set fire to the tents and other supplies.

In just a moment, the Mongolian camp fell into a sea of fire, and the hundreds of people who stayed in it suddenly ran out with a shout, but they were encountering the Huaxian Department that pounced viciously, without saying a word, first a volley of muskets, and then rushed to the front and a burst of slashes, killing these hundreds of Mongolian people who were completely distracted.

The morale of the Mongols, who were suffering from the double blow of artillery and Ming cavalry, had collapsed at this time, and they did not even have the courage to fight the Ming army again, and they all turned their horses and wanted to return to the camp. He didn't stop this, because he felt that maybe he would retreat to the camp and rely on the terrain there to stabilize the situation again.

But who knows, as soon as they ran back, they saw that a large area of flames had risen in the camp, and then there were bursts of gunfire and shouts of killing like fried beans. No matter how dull a person is, he understands what this means - his own battalion was actually captured by the Ming army!

How did they do it? How is this possible? Obviously, their army had been besieged in Beijing before, how could they suddenly have an extra group of men and horses sneak up on their camp, and actually make such a big noise? At first, it was really hard to believe and accept such a result.

But the facts are in front of him, and he can only accept it no matter how difficult it is. As for the other Mongolians, they had completely fallen into despair at this time, and the last line of fighting spirit was completely dissipated with the fire of the camp, and they only had one thought left, that is, to flee for their lives and escape from the encirclement and attack circle of the Ming army.

For a while, under this night, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry fled like scattered sand, and they all stuck their bodies on the horse's back, and the weapons in their hands had long been thrown away, but they just hugged the horse's neck, urging the horse to gallop forward faster, so as to make themselves farther away from death.

As for the Ming cavalry who were chasing them behind them, they couldn't resist at all, and just wanted to flee for their lives. Especially when there was another burst of artillery behind them, they seemed even more panicked, and rushed with all their might regardless of their horsepower.

At this time, the horses of the Ming and Mongolian cavalry finally divided the superiority. Although the Ming cavalry has pursued with all their might, the distance between the two sides has been repeatedly shortened, and because the riding skills are not exquisite enough, they can't even bend the bow and shoot arrows when they ride forward with all their might, and in the end they can only watch the enemy go away little by little, and the whip is beyond reach.

But even so, the Ming army still slaughtered, capturing tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, while the others fled north again after rushing into their own camp and picking up the remaining people who were still fighting with Hua Xian's subordinates.

Although Hua Xian's side was on guard and had muskets to help, they still flashed to the side in fear in the face of these dozens of times the enemy rushing madly, and finally could only watch them rush away.

It wasn't until the Mongolian people were far away that the Ming cavalry was late, looking at the Mongolian camp that was burned by the flames, and Shi Heng, who arrived later, also showed surprise: "Which way is this the Tartar camp that the men and horses raided?" ”

"It's me, Hua Xian, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, dare to ask the general?" Only then did Hua Xian step forward to reveal his identity.

"The people of the Divine Machine Battalion? Ben General Shi Heng, did you come here a long time ago on the orders of Lord Yu? Shi Heng asked with some surprise, feeling a little more respectful for Qian in his heart, he didn't expect him to be so prepared.

“…… Precisely. Hua Xian didn't want to say too much at this time, and after answering casually, he hurriedly said: "General Shi, now is a good time to chase the dead and chase the north, but it's a pity that we are all foot soldiers here, and we can't catch up with the Tartar cavalry at all, you ......"

Shi Heng immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we won't let the Tartars escape back so easily." As he spoke, he pointed with his hand and ordered his subordinates to continue to pursue, even if they couldn't catch up, they would be exhausted and fleeing for their lives.

Subsequently, there was no communication between the two sides, and Shi Heng continued to lead people to chase down. Seeing this scene, Hua Xian once again felt a burst of regret for his decision this time: "If I listen to Lord Lu's words, as long as I set up an ambush on the road ahead, I will definitely be able to gain a lot." I don't know if they can build new things by arranging......"

"General, do you think there are any other important people or things left in the Tartar camp?" At this moment, a soldier suddenly spoke.

In a word, Hua Xian was immediately awakened. By the way, there may be a great amount of credit waiting for you here. His Majesty has always been in their hands, if the Tartars hadn't taken him away, wouldn't he have made a great contribution to saving people by saving people?

Thinking of this, he immediately commanded: "Quickly, search all the camps for me, not let go of all the corners, and take all those who remain here!" ”

"Order!" The soldiers hurriedly agreed, and then dispersed to search everywhere. At this time, Hua Xian thought of a little more, and hurriedly said: "Don't be too rude to the people who stay here, let alone hurt people!" ”

After his subordinates took the order and left, Hua Xian also led a few people to stride in the direction of the Chinese army's big tent. In his mind, if he was really in this camp, he should be locked up near the Chinese army, so it would not be wrong to look for it there.

He had barely approached the huge tent when he heard a commotion coming from inside, and as soon as the tent door was opened, a couple of soldiers came out with two embarrassed fellows.

Because it was still dark, he really couldn't see the appearance of these two people clearly, but his heart was still full of hope, and he hurriedly rushed over with three steps and two steps, wanting to see what was going on.

At this time, someone on the side had already lit a torch, illuminating the open space in front of the tent, and the appearance of the two people in front of him was completely revealed-this was an old man and a beardless middle-aged man, obviously there was an essential difference from what he wanted to see, Zhu Qizhen, who was a young man.

At this time, the two of them were trembling there, their heads hanging low, and they didn't dare to look at anyone at all. Feeling the unkind eyes of the people around them, their bodies trembled even more.

"Who are you? It doesn't look like a tartar. By the light of the fire, Hua Xian had seen the appearance of these two people clearly, although they were dressed as Mongols, they were Han people.

"I ...... The little one was originally a retinue eunuch named Xining in front of His Majesty, who was captured by the Tartars and was here, and the general spared his life, which ......" The middle-aged man couldn't resist the pressure at first, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Hearing him report his identity, Hua Xian was obviously stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the old man: "Who are you?" It can't be a person in the palace, is it? ”

"I ...... Old Xuan Chengyuan ...... "The old man knew that his identity could not be hidden, and finally reported his name, and at the same time his face had become pale, he had only entered Beijing before, and he must have become the target of the Ming army now."

But to his surprise, these people in front of him just sighed, but there was no other reaction. Because Hua Xian and the others had left the city long before the siege of the Mongols, they had never heard of this old man's name at all, so naturally they would not have any overreactions.

But this can only be delayed for a while, and they will not be able to release the captive who has been found in the main tent of the Tartars. So after Hua Xian gave him a look, someone stepped forward and tied them up with ropes.

Then, Hua Xiancai looked at them and said, "No matter what your identity is, now I only ask you one thing, where is the emperor?" ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he was in the camp just now, and then the Tartars rushed back, and a guy named Boyan dragged him away with someone directly......" Xining still told the truth after being silent.
