Chapter 297: Under Siege
The incident happened suddenly, and Zhu Qiming hurriedly ordered Shi Feng to collect his troops and led the crowd to seize the high ground on the left and right, so that hundreds of Tartar thieves escaped.
"Shi Feng, send a team of men and horses to give an order, ordering Tang Ji to move to the area of Longshan, where you can come to the rescue, and you can get rid of the entanglement of the Tartar thieves as soon as possible. Once the battle starts here, Tang Ji will immediately lead the army to raid the lightly armed cavalry of the rear team of the Tartar thieves, and mess up their positions! ”
"Yes!"
"Commander Zhao, you send people to the Red Castle, the Longmen Guard, and the Longmen Station to send a message, and ask the defenders to come to help."
"Yes."
Taking advantage of Tang Ji and Zhao Wen's respective dispatch of manpower, Zhu Qiming concentrated on sorting out his thoughts. At present, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and the total number of people on his side plus Zhao Wen's subordinates is less than 6,000 people, and the 2,000 Beijing troops newly recruited are still unusable, and Zhao Wen's subordinates are ······ Looking at their panicked expressions, it is expected that they can only be filled. After all, the only living force that can fight against the Tartar thieves is more than 3,000 Yuefu guards, and if this point of manpower resists the Tartar thieves, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone!
Thinking that so many Tartar thieves could not cross the border from just one border fortress, if they came by different routes, the movement would be very great, and the border guards would be aware of it, according to the agreement, Yang Jun should have sent someone to interrogate, but ······ However, it is useless to think about it at the moment, and can only hope that the surrounding more than 10,000 garrisons will quickly assemble to support, if so, there is still a fifty percent chance of victory.
To his surprise, the Tartar thieves knew the terrain of Xuanfu well, knew how to come from the little-known ancient roads, and avoided the dangers on the way, this ability was difficult for even many commanders of the Xuanfu garrison to have.
After Zhao Wen finished the order, he quickly returned to Zhu Qiming's side, and said without worry: "Your Highness, let's withdraw quickly." ”
Remove? The first thing that cowards think of is often to slip away, they do not calculate the enemy, but always calculate their own people, hoping that others will resist them and run away, so that it is really possible to save their lives. However, if everyone escapes, it will not be so lucky, and the Tartar thieves will chase and kill them more easily than killing pigs and sheep.
The dignified prince, how can he be so unbearable!
"The Tartar thieves are fierce, we have no way to escape, we can run to the high ground and hold on to the danger when the situation is in danger, we must not mess with ourselves at this time!"
Before the words fell, a deafening sound of hooves sounded all around, and the rising snow and dust covered the sky and the sun, and countless heavy cavalry swept in with a overwhelming force.
Zhu Qiming led five hundred guards to set up a formation in front, blocking the frightened Zhao Wen's subordinates behind him. He turned his head to look at Shi Feng on the high ground, and saw that hundreds of archers around Shi Feng were already bending their bows and arrows.
The black-pressed Tartar thieves formed a huge arc-shaped formation, their bright weapons flashing with a dazzling cold light, and even the banners all over the field were full of murderous aura. Take a look at the endless lineup, and there are more than 10,000 of them!
But as soon as the formation opened, dozens of horse Tartar thieves rushed out of the crowd and stopped dozens of zhang away from Zhu Qiming, and the person in the center was nearly forty years old. Next to Boyan Timur is the man in the cloak!
"How is His Royal Highness King Yue lately?" The man in the cloak took the lead in speaking, "I wanted to go to the camp to meet His Highness, but then I heard that His Highness was killing here, so the iron horse of the Taishi came over to see what was going on." It's good to meet in the wild, which can save you a lot of trouble. ”
It turns out that the first subordinates came to this king, and they intended to plot against this king! Zhu Qiming was taken aback, thinking that the man in the cloak must still have many doubts to be solved, and he needed time too much, so he might as well have a good chat with him at this moment!
"This king has a pitiful number of people, but he just wants to see the snow scene in Xuanfu, why is Taishi Lao worried?"
"Hahaha······" The man in the cloak laughed out loud rarely, it seemed that he had a leisurely state of mind with everything under control, "Taishi misses the old, I heard that His Highness has arrived in the Xuan Mansion, and I have long wanted to come to meet His Highness!" ”
Zhu Qiming moved his eyes to look at Boyan Timur and saw that he was turning his head to look at him. Compared with the cold and ruthless one, Boyan Timur is simply a warm man, and he has always been courteous to Ming officials, but in the case that the plot against the Ming Dynasty has become a family consensus, and the current battle has a numerical advantage, if you want Boyan Timur to send some warmth to herself, the king of the Ming Dynasty, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream!
Wishful thinking is useless, and it is better to fight with the man in the cloak to stall for time!
"In this way, this king has to admit his kindness to the Taishi?"
"Your Highness is very intelligent, so you naturally know the intentions of the Grand Master." The man in the cloak paused, "There is no shortage of essence in Chinese culture, let's take military affairs as an example, it is quite subtle to attack the heart." Daming also has so many fierce generals, but I love to make friends, sincerity to the golden stone for the opening, a back and forth to get acquainted, since you can leave a lot of affection, the Taishi to His Royal Highness is the same, His Royal Highness can move north, the friendship between each other can still be preserved. ”
Zhu Qiming's heart was shocked, he had to admit that the man in the cloak was reasonable, just take Yang Hong as an example, the Warat people sent him horses today, mink fur tomorrow, and greetings from time to time. The farce of catching and releasing Cao staged by Guan Yunchang back then can be used as a lesson for Yin!
Yang Hongshang can be treated well, but he, the prince, does not have much room for maneuver, and the man in the cloak said very clearly, either go north with the Tartar thieves, or have a life-and-death duel!
"Oh, when I had a conversation with you, the sound was still in my ears. Could it be that Your Excellency forgot? It's better to solve some suspense, otherwise it's unwise! Riding the kung fu of the man in the cloak, Zhu Qiming turned his eyes to Boyan Timur, "Brother Boyan, don't come to harm?" ”
Boyan Timur finally turned his head and grinned at Zhu Qiming, this smile surprised Zhu Qiming, he didn't expect that Boyan Timur was about to enter the age of not being confused, and that smile was like a baby!
"I have met His Royal Highness King Yue, and I am deeply honored to be asked by His Royal Highness!"
The man in the cloak is too scheming, but this Boyan Timur is still fun! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Qiming immediately handed Boyan Timur a rather friendly smile. "Don't you want to get your sister back?"
Boyan Timur's expression moved, and the last bit of coldness was dispersed, "Please tell Your Highness clearly, where is Saihan?" ”
Suddenly, the man in the cloak broke off and shouted: "Enough! Is Your Highness delaying help? ”
The sound seemed to cause a chemical reaction, like a huge pack of wolves smelling blood, and the countless Tartar thieves were all extremely excited, waving their weapons in their hands, and letting out an earth-shattering roar in unison.
Many of the war horses behind Zhu Qiming were frightened and screamed incessantly, and most of Zhao Wen's subordinates fled to the high ground in a blink of an eye.
The air was filled with Sensen's murderous aura.
