The sound of hooves was like thunder, and snow and dust were splashing. The swept Ming army was like a tide of rage, instantly engulfing the Tartar thieves who were too late to assemble and scattered in the wilderness.

The time available for the iron cavalry to crush is only so short for a moment, and the sword light and sword shadow are accompanied by the roar of the sky, and everywhere you go, you can see flesh and blood flying. When the two roads of the Ming army were united and divided, the exposed snow was already a mess.

About eighty percent of the Tartar thieves relied on their experience in a hundred battles, and in the face of the surprise attack of the Ming army, they made the most rapid response, rode their horses and galloped up to the high ground first, and completed the formation before the Ming army rushed to kill again.

The Ming army surrounded the Tartar thieves in a semicircle, leaving a way out in the northwest, and the opening direction was cut off by a stream that had not yet frozen, and beyond the stream was a cliff, which lay across it, forming an impassable moat.

Galloping around the Tartar array for a while, Zhu Qiming stared at the horse, as if looking at his prey, his eyes flashed with excitement.

The evolution of the war has long exceeded Zhu Qiming's expectations. Originally, he only wanted to leave an unforgettable lesson for Yexian, but unexpectedly, the Ming army improvised and Yexian and the remaining 4,000 subordinates around him have become their own pockets.

Hey, killing him first, or escorting him to the capital to be convicted, seems to be an irresistible and tempting choice!

Zhu Qiming raised his sword and was about to give the order to start the final decisive battle.

"Wait!" He also looked hideous at first, and stopped at this moment, not because he was afraid of war, but because he was too suspicious in his heart, "There is something unclear in this seat, why does Your Highness know the terrain here well?" ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered the author of "Seven Strategies for Pingyu". A person of insight like Xue Lu secretly drew a map of the mountains and rivers of Tatar and Warat, and had already done enough homework for the Ming army's northern expedition, as long as the descendants had a heart, it was not difficult to find treasures from it.

However, the decisive battle is imminent, so why should you tell the good intentions of your ancestors to a thief who has not changed her nature!

"Your Excellency's life is short, why bother asking!"

"Your Highness is too confident! There are still 4,000 people in this seat, hum, you and I have a big battle, but I am afraid that the outcome is unpredictable! He reluctantly looked away from Zhu Qiming's face and secretly glanced at the back of the Ming army, "Does Your Highness still want to divide your troops to sneak attack?" The matter has come to this, why not show all the people and horses and fight with each other in a dignified position? ”

"Hahaha······" Zhu Qiming laughed for a moment, his eyes full of mockery, "It's okay to tell you!" This king has only a few men, and there are only 800 of them left there! ”

Eight hundred? It's unbelievable. I wanted to have tens of thousands of troops, but I was cut by thousands of people and horses on the other side like meat, bit by bit, piecemeal, so that I lost troops all the way, and now it has become extremely difficult to even save my life!

A deep sense of loneliness came to my heart. At this moment, the arrogance in his chest that looked down on the world no longer existed, and the reputation of resourcefulness and decisiveness was also torn to pieces by Zhu Qiming!

He was also ashamed and indignant, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching for a while, and he muttered: "Your Highness has led thousands of people and horses to come here for adventures thousands of miles, why do you want anything?" ”

What do you want?

Zhu Qiming's heart moved, and his thoughts leisurely returned to the Qingning Palace fourteen years ago, and wandered all the way along the footprints of the refugees, and finally returned to the Forbidden City······

Now the Forbidden City is still the same Forbidden City, but the monarchs and ministers of the court are no longer the original monarchs and ministers. Yu Qian, Chen Xun, and even internal officials like Xing'an, many people opened the door for his northern expedition. And he knew very well that Emperor Jingtai would make a positive interpretation of his northern expedition, and a group of soldiers who followed him from birth to death would return to the capital in the future, and he would not have to worry about being settled after the autumn.

Although his heart aches a little when he recalls the Tumubao incident, he has to revisit the fiasco. Perhaps, what the Tumubao incident punctured was only the foam overflowing from Da Ming's body, if not, he would have to bury his long-cherished wish deep in his heart for the rest of his life!

The Xun Qi disciples beside him were obviously waiting impatiently, some snorted coldly, and some reprimanded, as if urging Zhu Qiming to give an order quickly.

"This king has no desires and no desires!" Zhu Qiming looked at Ye Xian coldly, and the hatred of the family and the country floated in his mind, "The king's father, the king, and the tenth uncle king, used to be the most determined main fighters in the Ming Dynasty, so Yuefu has become a thorn in the side of your father, since the first year of orthodoxy, my two generations of Yuefu have been repeatedly plotted by the poisonous schemes of your father and son, and all the sufferings suffered by this king are all thanks to your father and son!" The sky has eyes, and this king has survived all the hardships. Since this king is alive, then the one who buries your ambition must be this king! ”

The anger in his eyes flashed away, and he seemed to be more willing to fight with words first than to fight with real knives and guns.

"The 6,000 men and horses in ambush are only five miles away from here, and once they learn of the movement here, they will rush to help, and then His Highness will be attacked by the enemy, and disaster will not be far away!"

"The war of words won't last long!" Zhu Qiming gave a contemptuous glance back, "Isn't there still eight hundred people in this king?" They are all divine masters, and they are setting up an ambush two miles away from here, which is the only place for your 6,000 subordinates to return to help, which can be called a dangerous pass that cannot be opened by one man! It is expected that your 6,000 men and horses will not be able to fly through that dangerous pass, and after suffering heavy losses, most of them will retreat south in order to make a detour here. However, when they arrived, the victory or defeat was decided, and the six thousand men would be the prey of the king! ”

"Whew!"

He was also furious and roared, and wanted to order 4,000 men and horses to attack the Ming army on the east side, which seemed to be the weakest, in order to open a bloody road.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Zhu Qiming rushed to give the order, and a rain of arrows sprinkled out, and there was a moment of chaos in the captive array. When the rain of arrows stopped, I saw Xu Gong, Shi Feng, Tang Ji, and Niu San leading the four groups of men and horses to attack the capture formation.

The Ming army's lance soldiers were in front, followed by sword soldiers, and rushed down, and the captivity was torn apart in several cracks, and finally it was broken into two parts.

Wang Lie's army rushed forward and joined the battle on the western side, where the Tartar bandits were short of strength and were immediately encircled. The Tartar thieves on the east side rushed out desperately, and they were also the first to be in the ranks.

It was the Tang Halberd and Niu Santong who fought with the Tartar thieves on the east side, and saw that the enemy and us were closely together, and the long weapons were difficult to deploy, at this time, the sharp short knives of the Ming army brought great lethality.

Zhu Qiming left a thousand archers to act outside, and he saw where Ye Xian was, and personally led more than 200 elite soldiers to rush over.

"First of all, don't hurry up and catch it, this king will spare you from death!"

He was surrounded by hundreds of heavily armed cavalry, and the heavy cavalry was placed together, as strong as an iron bucket array, and it was difficult for ordinary sword soldiers to launch a strong attack on it, only the lance soldiers could occasionally blast open a gap, but the gap was quickly blocked by other Tartar thieves.

The two sides engaged in a scuffle. Zhang Yu swung his knife at a Tartar thief who was directly in front of him, and the thief raised his knife to block, and then pressed down with his backhand, and the blade of the broadsword slid all the way down the armor on the Tartar thief's body, until the thick armor on the horse's back splashed with strings of sparks, and the sharp sound of metal friction came, making people's hairs stand on end.

But seeing the blue light flashing, Zhu Qiming rode his horse forward, and the sword touched the neck of the Tartar thief as fast as lightning, and the Tartar thief rolled his eyes and fell under the horse.

Looking through the gap in the human wall, I met the angry gaze of the first one. In front of Ye Xian, only nine Tartar thieves were left to protect each other, and the rest were trapped by the Ming army.

"First, where to escape!"
