Zhang Tanghuai personally led dozens of horsemen back to Fengyang, the sky was already bright, the Ming army on the city cheered, the morale was greatly boosted for a while, they gathered to meet the triumph of the heroes, after this battle the Kou army must have no strength to fight again, a large number of Kou troops retreated from a ruined camp in embarrassment, for most of the Ming army, nearly half a month of Fengyang danger has been solved.

Han Yu knows the character of Zhang Xianzhong, the first of Kou, very well, since Zhang Xianzhong changed the previous combat principles, and devoted all his strength to the Ming army for several days, how could it be so easy to retreat, and he must not relax his vigilance until the last moment, but this kind of suggestion can be said later, now the Ming army defending the city is completely immersed in the joy of victory, but it is not good to pour cold water, Zhang Tanghuai led a hundred horsemen into the enemy camp, which greatly improved the morale of the Ming army, the morale of the soldiers is available, and the morale is so high, even if Zhang Xianzhong attacks again, he is not afraid.

As soon as Zhang Tanghuai got off the horse, Han Yu and President Qian's Zhen Xing greeted him.

"Mr. Zhang Qian is brave, and the Kou army is really not enough..."Mr. Qian, Zhen Xing admired in his heart, and saluted Zhang Tang with a fist and unabashed his praise.

"It's all the brothers who fought bravely, and I should take care of their families..."

With Zhang Tanghuai's safe return of the army, Han Yu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, but Han Yu thought obviously more, even if the Kou army retreated, there was still a big mess to deal with in Fengyang City, but when he stepped forward, he held a jar of wine in his arms, and handed it to Zhang Tanghuai and said loudly: "Brother Zhang's martial arts are prosperous, it is better to pay tribute to the brothers here!" ”

Zhang Tanghuai pulled out the altar stopper, smelled the aroma of wine and sighed: "Such a good wine, you should drink it with your brothers!" Between the words, he spilled the liquor to the ground, then took a few sips of the wine jar, patted his chest at the damp place where the wine was spilled, and said in a deep voice, "I Zhang Tanghuai swears that as long as there is a breath left, I will ensure that all brothers and families are well-treated, and everyone will go all the way!" ”

"Great!" Mr. Qian, who was standing on the side, was deeply infected, and stepped forward to pick up the wine jar and drink!

For a while, the surrounding Ming army was moved, and in the face of Zhang Tanghuai's true feelings, Zhang Tanghuai not only never withheld the salary, but also ate and lived with the soldiers, even if he died on the battlefield, his family would be taken care of, and the soldiers died for their confidants, and such a general was enough for them to fight to the death.

Han Yu was secretly glad that what he hoped for was this, Zhang Tanghuai's feelings were very real, enough to impress these heart-to-heart soldiers, and mastering military power was the key to dealing with the next troubles.

Back at the camp tent, Zhang Tanghuai immediately instructed the battalion officer to prepare the pension silver taels for the sacrificed soldiers as soon as possible.

Zhen Xing saw the opportunity, stepped forward and hugged Zhang Tang and said: "Mr. Zhang Qian, it is better to take advantage of the new defeat of the Kou army to pursue the victory, I believe that the results of the battle will be expanded, and the fighter is fleeting, so don't miss it." "In fact, President Qian's official position is equivalent to Zhang Tanghuai's, and he has more qualifications, and his 1,000 long-term combat battalion soldiers also have more right to speak, so he doesn't have to be so respectful to the newly promoted President Qian, let alone ask for instructions, but Zhen Xing has always respected this young man, saying that it is actually a negotiation to pursue together, which can be said to give Zhang Tanghuai face.

Han Yu, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly, this Qianzong Zhen Xing was obviously carried away by the victory, although the Kou army was newly defeated, it was true that there were heavy casualties, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the strength of the Kou army was still far above the Ming army, I didn't expect that there was a previous experience of the annihilation of the whole army of Zhu Guozheng, and he actually healed the scar so quickly and forgot the pain, but Kean didn't care about Zhen Xing's life or death, but he didn't want Zhang Tanghuai to go with him.

"I thought that the new defeat of the Kou army, although the morale was low, but the revenge of the same enemy could improve morale in a very short time, and Kou Shouzhang Xianzhong was a beast, and the injured beast was more aggressive, and under the predicament of suffering huge losses and lack of food, he would fight to the death!" Although Han Yu did not seem to offend Zhen Xing, he must not back down on such a principled issue.

"Mr. Zhen Qian, I thought what Brother Han said was reasonable, it was better to be cautious!" Zhang Tanghuai groaned slightly, and also felt that what Han Yu said was reasonable.

Although he knew that Zhang Tanghuai attached great importance to Han Yu's suggestion, Zhen Xing didn't expect to let it go like this, and his favorability towards Zhang Tanghuai dropped a lot for a while, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his face changed and he chuckled: "The official also said casually, Mr. Zhang Qian doesn't have to care, there is still something in the camp, and the official will retire first." ”

"Zhen Qian is always polite, please take care of yourself." Zhang Tanghuai didn't notice Zhen Xing's dissatisfaction, and he didn't stop him when he saw that the other party was leaving.

Although Han Yu really wanted to step forward to play a round, his identity was not equal to Zhen Xing, and if he was persuased, there would be more gaps, so he could only stand indifferently.

Not long after President Qian's Zhen Xing left, Han Yu said to Zhang Tanghuai: "Brother Zhang, Zhen Qianzong is determined to pursue the Kou army from time to time, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Didn't you just discuss it... Oops! Zhang Tanghuai finally reacted, Zhen Xing was not discussing with him just now, but hoped that he would lead the troops to the expedition together, and he would not speculate for more than half a sentence, Zhen Xing, who was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, naturally would not say much to him, presumably he had already gone through the army at this moment, ready to pursue the Kou army.

"He must be stopped, come and prepare the horses!" Zhang Tanghuai immediately rushed out of the camp, took the reins of the war horse from his own soldiers, jumped up along the stirrups, and rushed towards the city gate.

Han Yu walked out of the camp tent and looked at the back of Zhang Tanghuai riding away from a distance, many times he was always so helpless, always at a critical moment, there were always people who wanted to dismantle the stage, but Han Yu had no way to stop Zhen Xing, he could only hope that Zhang Tanghuai could arrive as soon as possible and keep Zhen Xing and his 1,000 main battalion soldiers.

After half the salary, Zhang Tanghuai had not returned, so he quickly called the captain Wang Wei and rode the carriage towards the city gate.

Zhang Tanghuai, who soon came to the city gate, stood at the head of the city and looked into the distance with a stunned expression, obviously he couldn't stop Zhen Xing from pursuing the Kou army.

And the 1,000 battalions that Zhen Xing took away were the elite main force of the Ming army.

If Zhen Xing wins, it will be fine, if he is defeated, with the current less than 2,000 new troops in Fengyang City, it is difficult to say whether he can stop Zhang Xianzhong's desperate siege, Han Yu even had the idea of killing Zhen Xing to seize military power, but at this point, Zhang Tanghuai, who has always been upright, will never listen to him.

However, Han Yu would not sit still, and immediately asked Wang Wei to recruit Jingzhuang and distribute silver taels on the spot.

In fact, it is taboo to use recruits at the decisive moment, and it is easier for recruits to be scrambling because of fear, and it is very likely that this uneasy mood will be transmitted to other soldiers, and it is precisely this kind of reason that the defeat is like a mountain, even if the gods descend from earth, they can't stop those recruits who are defeated and flee for their lives, but who let Zhen Xing take away the main force of the Ming army, this is also helpless.

Just when Han Yu was grinding his guns and recruiting new soldiers in the downtown area, a horse galloped quickly, jumping from the horse and jumping a young soldier, Han Yu also knew, this person was one of Zhang Tanghuai's personal soldiers, I saw that the young soldier was full of excitement and said to Han Yu: "Han Gongzi, great joy, Zhen Xing won the first battle, the Kou army was defeated at the first touch, more than 300 were beheaded in the first battle, and a lot of ordnance baggage was captured!" ”

Hearing the news of the big victory, Han Yu didn't have any joy on his face, and asked with a solemn expression: "Where is Mr. Zhen Qian, and is he leading the troops back?!" ”

"Young Master Han, Zhen Qian always led people to continue to pursue the Kou army, and only two hundred soldiers who transported the spoils of war came back!" The young soldier was slightly stunned, looking at Han Yu's solemn expression, although he didn't know what was happening, he immediately reported to Han Yu.

"Oops!" Han Yu grabbed the young soldier and said very solemnly, "You go back immediately, let Brother Zhang keep these two hundred soldiers!" ”

Although the young soldier looked puzzled, he did not dare to hesitate, and immediately turned on his horse and walked towards the city gate.

Han Yu sighed in his heart, sure enough, the worst situation still happened, he was completely sure that Zhen Xing must have been lured by the Kou army to go deeper, presumably it was already a lot of bad luck, these two hundred soldiers must stay, in the future against the Kou army to attack the city, maybe it can play a key role, the matter has come to this, can only fight with all their strength, whether it is the Kou army besieging the city and the Ming army defending the city, whoever can persevere from the painful torment can have the last laugh.
