"Calm down! The most important thing at this time is to be calm!! ”

Guo Weijing's brain was running rapidly, and the brain was almost boiling when the pot was finally sorted out, yes, the experience of countless famous generals in history has shown that the more in this critical moment, the more the main general must remain calm, and have the courage to collapse Mount Tai and not change color, the so-called courage of the general, if the main general is panicked, the soldiers of the three armies will become more chaotic, so we must be calm and calm!

He strode out of the camp, standing with a crown, his promoted figure was like a straight tree trunk, not moving in the morning light, and the guards on the left and right were infected by him, and they all calmed down, each raising their swords and guns to protect them, and vigilantly looked at the chaotic soldiers who were running around and rushing around.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use!" The camp of the Longwu Army has become a mess, and the officers and men of the three armies are scattered in various military camps, and few people have noticed Guo Weijing, the commander, no matter how calm he is, it is a waste of expression.

"So, what should we do now?" Guo Weijing looked around blankly, only feeling that his mind was a mess, and he didn't know what else he could do except stay calm......

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong unexpectedly launched a night attack, which caught the Longwu army by surprise, and broke through one military camp after another.

Despite this, the Longwu army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

After all, the Chu army had too few troops to control the entire battlefield, and could not suppress the Longwu army, or even divide and encircle, so it could only attack back and forth in the large camp and try to create chaos as much as possible. Although the first few camps of the Longwu army were breached, as long as the large camp of the Chinese army was not lost, the troops in the rear barracks had time to organize themselves, move closer to the commander Guo Weijing, and slowly push the battle line back.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong had considered this possibility before the war, and there were corresponding countermeasures, in their plan, once the Longwu army pushed back, the Chu army could not resist head-on, but should be divided into two ways, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong each led a detour to the two sides to kill, looking for the weak links such as the baggage camp of the Longwu army, and then launched a second wave of attack, anyway, the Chu army is a cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, and the war is unfavorable and can withdraw from the battle at any time, but Guo Weijing has no capital to make mistakes, and the whole army will be defeated if he is not careful.

Guo Wei led the troops and had no experience in commanding a large army to fight, could he always not make mistakes? Definitely not! Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong believed that Guo Weijing would definitely make one mistake after another when he commanded the battle, revealing one flaw after another, and the Chu army would win the battle as long as they caught one of them.

Unexpectedly, the battle went more smoothly than expected, the Chu army advanced all the way to Guo Weijing's Chinese army camp, the Longwu army still did not organize an effective defensive line, and the troops who came in a hurry fought separately, without cover and cooperation with each other, leaving the Chu army with an opening for interspersed assaults. Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong, who have been in battle for a long time, will certainly not let go of this rare opportunity, and immediately concentrate their forces and go straight to the center.

Defeat is like a mountain!

Although the Longwu Army is a new army modeled after the Chu Army, it has not fought any hard battles, lacks enough resilience, when the first soldier turned around and fled, there were immediately countless soldiers who followed, disrupting the friendly army behind him, but the Chu cavalry followed closely behind him like a hungry wolf driving away the deer, rolling this snowball bigger and bigger.

It's not that no one resisted bravely, but in the face of this unstoppable rout, the formation they barely formed, like a castle made of sand on the beach, was submerged in a blink of an eye, shattered, and scattered, and finally they could only be forced to rout together together, the cumbersome armor became a fatal burden, and the armor that was just hard to put on was thrown down, and if the movement was a little slower, it would fall in the crowd, and be trampled by countless big feet and the hooves of the cavalry of the Chu army, even if the armor was strong, it could not provide enough protection.

Throw away your armor and kill each other.

The whole line was defeated and irretrievable.

"Dashuai, the general trend has gone, let's go, I'll wait to protect Dashuai to break through!"

The cavalry of the Chu army saw that it was approaching, although Guo Weijing's handsome banner fell, but there were still many personal guards around him, the stars holding the moon were very conspicuous, several teams of Chu cavalry turned their horses' heads and killed him, the shouts of "capture Guo Weijing alive" came and went, Guo Weijing did not see the calm and calm bearing just now, pulled out his sword with his backhand, burst into tears, and shouted to the sky: "Thirty thousand troops!" The 30,000-strong army was wiped out, what face does the old man have to see the saint, there is only one death today! ”

"Don't be handsome!"

The left and right guards were shocked, if Guo Weijing died, their guards would be severely punished, the old man was going to force the big guy to death! Everyone snatched the sword from his hand, and a tall and strong guard took Guo Weijing directly to his horse, hugged him tightly to his chest, and then rushed out with the large group of routs.

The battle lasted only an hour before it ended, and the noisy battlefield returned to calm, and a cold crescent moon hung in the early morning sky.

In this battle of disparity in strength, the casualties of the Longwu army were as high as more than 2,000 people, in addition to the direct casualties caused by the cavalry of the Chu army, many soldiers died in the fire and cannibalism, stampede on men and horses, etc., and thousands of people were captured, and the remaining 20,000 horses were scattered in a hurry, fleeing without a trace. After they were out of danger, most of them would find their way back to Daozhou, but with the organizational ability of the Longwu army, it would take several days to complete the work of gathering the defeated troops and resuming the formation, and their armor and weapons were almost all lost, and they no longer posed a threat to the Chu army.

Defeating 30,000 enemy troops with 1,500 cavalry, even for the Chu army, which has almost won a hundred battles, is also a record worth boasting about, Zhou Guodong was full of confidence before the battle, in fact, he was still a little nervous in his heart, and now seeing this battle won so beautifully, he let out a big breath of evil in his heart.

"Hehe, in exchange for Teng Shuanglin and Lu Renqing, today's battle may not be won, right? Gu Zongfu and Zhang Jiayu are even worse, the face of the old eighth battalion of the Chu army has to rely on the two of us to support it. "Who would dare to say that Lao Tzu is a second-rate mediocre general? Look at me spitting him in the face.

"Guo Weijing only has a few thousand royal forest troops under his command, and the others are Qinwang troops who came from other places, and they have put together 30,000 horses in a mess, it's just a group of rabble, let's pick up a cheap ......" After Tan Xiao ate two punishments, his mentality was much calmer than before, and he didn't pay attention to Zhou Guodong, so as not to be too proud and act out of proportion.

The two of them have a good relationship, although Tan Xiao said very straightforwardly, Zhou Guodong didn't think it was angry, and asked with a smile: "The battle has been fought, what should I do now?" Do you go directly to Daozhou to 'invite' Your Majesty back, or do you want to rest first? ”

The focus of "resting and recuperating" is not to rest, but to wait for the follow-up troops, after all, Emperor Longwu still has a certain number of troops in his hands, such as the gentleman's battalion that blocked Yinxi, etc., and only took 1,500 people to Daozhou, which was a great risk.

"There is no time to lose." Tan Xiao shook his head and said very resolutely: "Guo Weijing's defeat, the princes of the imperial court are already frightened birds, maybe something will happen, we should rush over as soon as possible, in case someone robs the holy car." ”

In case Emperor Longwu left everything and fled to Guangzhou on a fast horse, it would be really difficult to catch up.

In addition, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong had just won a big victory, and the Longwu Imperial Court couldn't figure out their reality for a while, and it was likely that they thought that the original intelligence was wrong and exaggerated the strength of the Chu army, even if they saw Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong only with 1,500 cavalry, they would think that the follow-up troops of the Chu army were behind, and they might not be able to show the courage to fight again.

The two made up their minds and immediately led the army to set off, followed the heels of the rout of the Longwu army, and arrived at the city of Daozhou.

At this moment, there is already chaos in Daozhou City.

Hearing that Guo Weijing was defeated, the first reaction of the princes of the imperial court was to abandon the city and flee, you know, the 30,000 army only went out of the city and turned around and then disappeared, how could it be possible to stop such a fierce Chu army with only a small Daozhou City?

Breaking through the army of 30,000 with 1,500 people is too exaggerated, no matter how you look at it, it looks like false information spread by falsehood, so many people don't believe it at all, and rumors immediately spread in Daozhou City, spread with noses and eyes, some people say that Liu Wenxiu's western army has been killed, some people say that Wang Kefan's Chu army sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, and some people say that Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu, He Zhen and a few of them did not really return to the imperial court, but secretly colluded with the Chu army, and attacked Guo Weijing with a counterattack......

Emperor Longwu, Tang Laihe, Guan Yinxi and others were still relatively calm, knowing that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong were both cavalrymen, and it was more dangerous to escape out of the city now, so it was better to hold on behind closed doors and wait for reinforcements from Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen. But under the panic of the people, all the Qinwang troops were unwilling to stay in this small city and wait for death, seeing that Daozhou City was about to face loss of control just like the original Quanzhou, Emperor Longwu was forced to agree to withdraw from Daozhou.

With such a big stall in the imperial court, it is definitely impossible to have a trip that can be said to go, the princes and nobles and the court bosses have not packed their luggage yet, and the scouts have sent a report to visit, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have already killed, and led the cavalry of the Chu army to go around the city, on the south side of Daozhou, blocking the road to Lianzhou, Guangdong.

I can't go!

Many princes and ministers fell into despair, but Emperor Longwu breathed a sigh of relief, he originally thought that abandoning the city and escaping was not the best policy, but now since there is no way out, then just stay in Daozhou and make a break with the Chu army! After all, he still has Liu Fangliang, Dang Shousu and He Zhen's hole cards, as well as the identity of the Son of Heaven as the final reliance, whether Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong come soft or hard, it is enough to deal with them, and when Liu Fangliang's soldiers and horses arrive, they can turn the crisis into safety and tide over the difficulties.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong blocked the way, just to help those princes and ministers who only wanted to save their lives to make up their minds, in the eyes of Emperor Longwu, this was not necessarily a bad thing, but he still underestimated the determination of those princes and ministers to save their lives.

Headed by the King of Liao, King Deng, and King Yi, many one-character kings, two-character county kings, and princes and uncles, a total of more than 40 people came to the door together, begging Emperor Longwu to take back his life and return to Nanjing as soon as possible.

These people gossiped, blowing Chu Jun and Wang Kefan almost to the sky, and said that Wang Kefan was a great hero, a loyal minister, and when the country was in trouble, he must not do anything to destroy the Great Wall, so he almost pointed at Emperor Longwu's nose and scolded him for being Zhao Gou, wronged Yue Wumu who was loyal to the country. These princes and nobles are very cautious on weekdays, they have always stayed away from the government and politics, and they are only obsessed with eating, drinking, and having fun.

Emperor Longwu frowned, and endured it with great perseverance so that he didn't roar on the spot, but unfortunately he couldn't bear it in the end, so he had to get up and go out.

What is this attitude? As the king of a country, when you encounter a problem but dare not face it, you just want to escape, how can you solve the problem?

A large group of princes and nobles chased out again, and Emperor Longwu hid in the backyard, and they knelt down in front of the backyard door.

But the gentleman's heart is like iron, and the will of heaven is difficult to change.

The courtyard door of the backyard has never been opened, and Emperor Longwu has not said a word, everyone knelt from dawn to dark, tears have long been cried, and finally can only leave in disappointment.

When leaving the temporary palace of Emperor Longwu, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

That night, several princes and ministers colluded with a Qinwang army to open the south gate of Daozhou and offer the door to the Chu army to surrender.

Wonderful!
