In the wilderness more than fifty miles south of Tianjin Wei, an army of cavalry and infantry, like a dormant beast, quietly waited for the orders of the peak.

To attack the city of Tianjin Wei, where did the 60,000 troops of Hongtang's army need to attack, so from the beginning, Wu Jie left a team of 15,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry brigades that were not of much use in the siege battle, hidden in the place where Wei Sanqueyi deliberately left the hope of escape for everyone in Tianjin Wei Castle.

"You can act, brothers, don't lose face this time, if we can't even wipe out a group of deserters and civilians, then we won't have the face to go back to see the commander!"

The green forest breath on Kong Youde's body, even after being tempered in Hongmen for so many years, has not been able to change it, and before he took action, he lashed the soldiers below: "Anyway, if Lao Tzu loses people in front of the army commander, then none of you people want to run, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”

Forget about the task of attacking Tianjin Wei Xiandeng, I didn't expect that I didn't even leave the tail soup of the siege to myself, and when I arrived at Wu Jie's order, I sent myself to this deserted place, and I stayed for several days, but it made Kong Youde feel very aggrieved.

Of course, Kong Youde is not unclear that the task he is performing now, if he does it well, his military merits are not small, but as a brave general, he is more willing to experience the bloody atmosphere brought by the siege battle, as well as the impulse from the heart.

And in this plain area, what Kong Youde has to face is either a group of routed soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit, or a group of unarmed ordinary people, such a passionless battle, so that any regiment and brigade commander in the Hongtang army can be executed without difficulty.

Not to mention, the most elite cavalry division in the Hongtang Liaodong Theater also divided half of its manpower over, and in this unobstructed plain, it was even easier for a four-legged beast to chase a two-legged warrior.

"Let's go!"

Hongtang, a group of soldiers who had been dormant for a long time, and all the soldiers who had already been idle and uncomfortable, came out in a mighty way, fled towards the Tianjin Acropolis, and killed the vanguard only more than ten miles away from them.

"Commander Xiang, why don't your cavalry brigade take a long detour and block the back of this fleeing team?"

When he officially entered the combat state, Kong Youde, who had been actively or passively learning military knowledge, resumed his function as the chief general, and put forward his opinions to Xiang Shenggao, who came over together.

"Well, actually, that's what I thought."

Xiang Sheng Gao nodded in agreement with Kong Youde's suggestion, and then led 5,000 cavalry to bypass the route of the fleeing army and kill behind the opponent.

"What's going on up ahead?"

"Why did an army suddenly come out, could it be the army sent by the government to reinforce Tianjin Wei?"

"Great!!"

In the plains of Pingchuan, it was very difficult to hide his whereabouts, so when he was still seven or eight miles away from the escape team of the Tianjin Wei of the Ming Dynasty, he was discovered by the fugitive refugees who had been worried.

"No, these people are not the army of our government!"

"It's not good, it's the Hongtang army, how can they appear here??"

"Run!!"

"the boy, take the child and run into the wilderness, you hide these ten taels of silver, you must cross the Yellow River before you can stop!"

"Daddy, what are you—what are you going to do?"

For a while, the entire team of fleeing refugees was at a loss, and all kinds of mournful voices came and went, and many people who thought they were not dragged down simply broke away from the team and went to the surrounding wilderness to kill in order to get rid of the very likely pursuit of Hongtang's army.

And more of the people and the routs began to retreat to the route when Tianjin Wei came with the main stream, but they didn't know how they could travel faster than a group of strong men who were fierce and fierce!

Of course, there were many smart people, or rather some sane soldiers, and some courage and dedication left, led by some leaders who came forward, trying to use their arms as a car, and the team that did not flee bought some time.

"Remember, this group of people are all hard-working people, try not to be ruthless if you can keep them alive!"

"The medics are ready, but if they still have breath, you can do your best to rescue them!"

Before the battle, the non-commissioned officers of Hongtang led by him did not forget to tell the soldiers below, lest these guys be killed, and in the end, they did not take the military merits, but violated the military regulations, which was not worth it.

In the end, the scene of contact between the two sides was like a wolf like a flock of sheep, and wherever the Hongtang army killed, the team scattered and turned into headless flies, running and fleeing indiscriminately.

"Disarm or kill!"

"Lay down your arms!"

The only resistance team composed of fugitive routs who caused a little trouble to the pursuit team was instantly defeated under an easy charge of the Hongtang army, and after several leaders were beheaded, this group of Ming Dynasty troops who dared to sacrifice themselves no longer had the will to resist.

Even, in order to carry out the commanders' orders to reduce casualties, most of the weapons in the hands of the Hongtang soldiers were reversed, and they used the wide and unbladed back of the knife to deal with the scattered stubborn resistance in the fleeing team.

"Divisional commander, we caught a big fish!"

The commander of a regiment under Kong Youde ran back from the battlefield with excitement on his face and invited his commander to take credit.

"What a big fish, look at you and enjoy it!"

Kong Youde angrily scolded this unfortunate guy.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The lucky captain smirked, and then began to show off.

"In this fugitive team, our regiment grabbed a convoy of more than ten wagons, and I looked like a big fish."

"The guards guarding this convoy are all fearless to death, covering five of the wagons as they try to break out of our encirclement."

"But they don't look at who their opponent is, and when it comes to our regiment, where can they escape from our palms so easily!"

"Of course, it is undeniable that the guards of this team are really good, and more than 20 soldiers of our regiment have been killed and wounded......

This regiment leader talked a lot of nonsense, and he didn't have any eyesight, so Kong Youde listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear a key point, and finally scolded fiercely with a straight face: "Speaking of the point, what is the origin of the other party?" ”

"Oh!"

The complacent regiment commander was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the division commander's face was ugly, and hurriedly picked out the core points and began to narrate: "This team is escorting the direct relatives of the three major commanders of Tianjin Wei, as well as the materials they have collected in Tianjin Wei!" ”
