Hearing that Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen led an army of "100,000" to Qinwang to protect him, there was a thunderous cheer inside and outside the city.

Fleeing with Emperor Longwu, in addition to the civil and military officials and thirty or forty thousand troops, there are many princes and nobles and their families, King Liao, King Deng, King Zhou, King Yi and Emperor Longwu's brother Zhu Yulu of Tang, as well as a large number of two-character county kings and princesses, etc., these princes and nobles have just lived a stable life in Guilin for two years, and once again embarked on the road of escape, their hearts are panicked, and there is a great feeling of "rather for the peace dog, not for the troubled world", Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen's Qin Wang Jun arrived, This kind of precarious hard life is finally coming to an end.

As early as the Chongzhen period, Li Zicheng's peasant army swept across both sides of the Yellow River, and the princes and nobles in the north began to flee south one after another, and later as the Qing army went south again and again, the princes and nobles of the Ming Dynasty gradually ran to Guilin, and took refuge under the protection of the Longwu court.

Whether these princes and nobles, or the civil and military officials in the court, everyone has become very optimistic like Emperor Longwu, with Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen's Qinwang army, plus thirty or forty thousand Longwu army, it is enough to resist the pursuit of the Chu army and the Western army, so that everyone can retreat to Guangzhou safely, but the Chu army's movements are far faster than they imagined, Liu Fangliang's Qinwang army has not yet arrived, but Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's have launched an attack again.

The Longwu army hastily withdrew from Quanzhou, there was not much grain and grass in the army, Guo Weijing led 30,000 horses and Tan Xiao to confront, the biggest problem was not how to repel Tan Xiao, but the military rations in the camp were about to bottom out, seeing Tan Xiao retreat a little, Guo Weijing also took the opportunity to retreat, slowly retreating in the direction of Daozhou, preparing to join Emperor Longwu.

At the same time, Zhou Guodong led hundreds of cavalry to arrive and joined Tan Xiao, and the two of them combined with a total of 1,500 cavalry, and launched a surprise attack on Guo Weijing in the early morning of the next day.

There are a few stars in the sky, under the cover of night, the cavalry of the Chu army lined up in a long line, galloping on the mountain road in Nanling, in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, there is no torch lighting, the food of the Chu army has been very good in recent years, and many soldiers have been cured of night blindness, and they can also see the road clearly under the moonlight and starlight.

Along the road, there are occasional exclamations and shouts, and then there is the sound of slashing and screaming, that is the scouts of the Chu army clearing the sentries of the Longwu army, and occasionally there are individual vigilantes who flee on horseback, and they will also be chased and killed by the scouts, those who fled into the mountains and forests on both sides of the Longwu army, it will definitely be too late to go back to the police in front of the Chu army, don't pay attention.

The night wind was biting, but Tan Xiao ran sweaty on his forehead, stretched out his hand to unbutton his cloak and said with a smile: "Maintain this marching speed, you can reach Guo Weijing's camp before dawn, whether you can 'invite' Your Majesty to Nanjing depends on the outcome of this battle." ”

Zhou Guodong and him went hand in hand: "If Guo Weijing's 30,000 army has been arranged in a turtle formation, it will indeed be difficult to speak, but since he turns around and wants to run, he will naturally show flaws." Hehe, he thought that we would not dare to touch him, but with only these 1,500 people, we are going to pick up his tiger whiskers today! ”

In this battle, with 1,500 people to attack 30,000 enemy troops, the enemy's strength is 20 times that of his side, it is undoubtedly a risk, but Guo Weijing is about to retreat into Daozhou City, if these 30,000 horses are allowed to close the city gate and hold on, it will evolve into a protracted war of attrition, surrounded by strong enemies, there is no chance to intercept Emperor Longwu, if it is not good, he will put himself in.

If you want to win the battle, you have to attack it by surprise.

"After this battle, we will tear our faces with the court, hehe, I don't know if Wang Junmen will blame the two of us after receiving the news." Tan Xiao stretched out his horsewhip and poked Zhou Guodong: "How is it, are you afraid?" It's still too late to retreat. ”

"What is there to be afraid of! Wang Junmen's general order made it clear, let the two of us act cheaply, that is, let the two of us watch it, I will bear the responsibility alone, and I must not live up to Wang Junmen's trust. ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words! Let's learn from Sun Monkey this time and make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace! ”

"You can't trust me!"

"I'm afraid that when you see the emperor, you will be soft and ruin Wang Junmen's big thing."

"Don't worry, the sky and the earth are big, Wang Junmen's general is the greatest, this time you and my brother should show their faces, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will also pull him off the horse......"

At dawn, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong led 1,500 Chu cavalry to Guo Weijing's military camp.

The cavalry of the Chu army stopped in a hidden place to regroup, and a few Chu army scouts who had been lurking for a long time jumped out of the darkness, pointing to the dark and dreary Guo Weijing camp in front of them, and reported to Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao on the deployment of the Longwu army.

"The first three and the last four, the camp is based on the mountain, and it is worthy of being the students taught by our Chu army, and the camp is very well-maintained!" The camp of the Longwu army was built in full accordance with the discipline of the Chu army, and in the eyes of Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, there was no secret at all, and the two of them looked at each other happily, and then ordered the whole army to make the final pre-battle preparations.

The eastern sky revealed a touch of fish belly white, not far away in the camp of the Longwu army, someone was running back and forth shouting, as if he had sensed the attack of the Chu army, Zhou Guodong jumped on the war horse and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "The Son of Heaven is deceived by the traitorous ministers, and intends to be unfavorable to the Duke of Liang, everyone, please follow me to kill the traitors, Qingjun's side!" ”

"Get on the horse!"

"Light the torch!"

"Rush!"

Tan Xiao's voice was short and powerful, and with the last order, 1,500 Chu cavalry urged their mounts and rushed at full speed towards the Longwu army camp not far away.

Strict generals will set up a strong camp at any time to prevent the enemy from sneaking up, but Guo Weijing, the commander of the Longwu army, neglected to take precautions. In his mind, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's troops were too small, and they would definitely have to wait for the follow-up main force to follow up before launching an attack, and it was unimaginable to challenge the 30,000 army with only 1,500 people.

The commander was negligent in taking precautions, and the soldiers below were even more slack, although the camp of the Longwu Army was built in accordance with the Chu Army's code, but the details were cut corners, the camp wall was as low as possible, the trenches were dug as narrow as possible, and the horses and thistles were simply saved, anyway, they would retreat into Daozhou City tomorrow, and the Chu army would definitely not come, just sleep for one night, why waste their efforts.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong led the army to rush to the front of the camp, and found that there was only a narrow trench in front of the camp gate, and the war horses could easily cross it, saving more effort than the original plan.

Grab the door!

The commander of the Chu army drove straight in, rushed into the outermost first military camp, threw the torch in his hand at the enemy's camp, and the tongues of fire rolled up thick black smoke

Empty and up.

The soldiers of the Longwu Army woke up from their sleep, many people wore their upper bodies, got out of the tent without armor or weapons, and saw the fierce and vicious Chu Army rushing over with a saber, and they couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so they were easily cut down, and they didn't even have time to warn their companions, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong fought a pair from west to east, and they didn't encounter decent resistance.

Under the flickering firelight, the Chu soldiers rode their horses over the low fence and slaughtered the next camp.

One after another barracks were broken one after another, if the soldiers of the Longwu army gathered together to resist, they would be resolutely defeated by the Chu army, as the fire became bigger and bigger, the chaos became more and more, at this time the sky was just dark, the line of sight was not clear, these soldiers did not know how many enemies were coming, the atmosphere of panic was contagious to each other, and soon killed each other, which caused greater misunderstanding and chaos.

When he was older, he was sleepy and sleepy, Guo Weijing had insomnia in the first half of the night, and fell asleep in the second half of the night.

"Wake up, Dashuai, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack? Is it the Tartars coming? ”

"No, it's the Chu army who killed it!"

"Chu Jun...... Oh, it's Chu Jun. Guo Weijing shook his head, stood up calmly, and ordered him to change his clothes and armor left and right: "Hmph, as I expected, Wang Kefan finally reversed, come on, the military tent in the herald will beat the drum, and the old man will go out of the camp to beg for thieves......"

Halfway through the words, Guo Weijing was suddenly stunned, looking at the curtain of the big tent that was raised, and from there, the barracks were in flames, the flames were churning, and countless shadows were running back and forth, under the wielding of knives and guns, from time to time someone staggered down with their wounds, and the screams were clearly audible.

It turned out that the Chu army had already come in!

It turned out that his big camp was a battlefield!

What to do? Guo Weijing saw sweat on his forehead and quickly thought about countermeasures.

Since he served in the Ministry of War, he has studied all kinds of military books and tactics, and repeatedly scrutinized the war reports sent from the front until he understood it thoroughly, and he is confident that he is by no means the kind of scholar who can only talk about soldiers on paper, if he is given a chance to lead troops to fight, even if it is not as good as Wang Kefan, at least it is not weaker than Gu Yinxi.

Emperor Menglongwu trusted, he finally waited for this opportunity, gave Shang Fang the sword, and ordered him to lead an army of 30,000 to fight against the Chu army, Guo Weijing knew that the responsibility was heavy, and the brave and good fighting Chu army was a strong enemy, so he did not dare to slack off a little, and his staff carefully formulated several sets of combat plans, ready to lure the enemy deeper, and Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao fought to the death under the city of Quanzhou, and defeated the Chu army in one fell swoop. In addition, he also fully considered the threat of the Western Army, and began to prepare for the final decisive battle with Liu Wenxiu.

However, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, the two stunned young men, did not play cards according to common sense! Their main force had not yet arrived, so they brazenly launched a night attack with a small number of troops.

What to do?

At this critical moment, all the military books I had read in the past frantically poured into my mind, Guo Weijing was like Sun Wu seizing the house, Han Xin possessed him, Li Jing possessed ......, all kinds of chaotic military quotes and classic examples kept popping out, but none of them were suitable for the situation, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

Wonderful!
