"General Xiao Li," Du Xun persuaded him, and the city head was diffused, but invisibly, the distance between him and Li Shuangxi was much closer. At this time, the eunuch looked loyal, galloped to Li Shuangxi's side, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Chongzhen has never left." ”

"How so?"

Unconsciously, Li Shuangxi's attitude towards Du Xun has also changed greatly, listening to Du Xun's words, he is thinking about himself again, so he changed his face and asked, no longer the Yan Gang cold appearance.

Du Xun smiled and said: "Li Banghua and Wang Jiayan have both appeared in the city, if Chongzhen has already left Beijing, why bother to leave these two Xuanli ministers in the city to die?" Other ministers don't even go to the court these days, these two are Chongzhen's loyal ministers! ”

"Sure enough, this time you've made a great contribution!"

Li Shuangxi bowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he only said, "I hope it is as you said." ”

"The general might as well send another elite cavalry to chase after him along the road to Tianjin. Maybe Chongzhen will send someone to escort the prince to the south. ”

"Good!" Li Shuangxi was shocked and nodded: "Send three hundred cavalry to chase first, if there is really a prince who escapes, gather the cavalry of the imperial camp, and go directly to Tianjin to chase after it!" ”

"Yes, that's exactly what the general said." Du Xun smiled flatteringly and replied: "No last resort, the young general is really the emperor's right-hand man." ”

"However," when Li Shuangxi smiled, Du Xun also said in a contemptuous tone: "As long as Chongzhen doesn't leave, the overall situation doesn't matter." The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty was just fifteen years old, and although his reputation was not bad for more than half a year, he gave people the impression that he was taciturn, not good at words, and his knowledge was also very average. The important thing is that he is too young, those Ming Dynasty officials in Nanjing, the slaves and maids know best, their eyes are above the top, they say their own words, no one obeys anyone, the crown prince goes, and everyone looks down on him...... When the chaos in the south is enough, as soon as the soldiers arrive, we will wait to see them scramble to hand over the handbook, kneel on both sides of the road and kowtow and surrender! ”

Du Xun's analysis of the situation in the south is all accurate!

The reason why the upper echelons of the camp insisted on smashing the Beijing division was also because they had seen the Ming Dynasty lose the hearts of the people many times in Huguang, especially the backbone gentry class of the ruling force was unwilling to serve the Ming Dynasty anymore, so they decided to go straight to Yanyun, according to the righteousness of the world, and then the south could be passed on!

Glancing at the dead eunuch with appreciative eyes, Li Shuangxi finally changed his face and nodded, "What you said is good." Then, let's patrol around the East Gate and watch the road for Chongzhen's escape south! ”

"Yes, Major General...... Hey? ”

"How?"

Du Xun's eyebrows suddenly showed nervousness, Li Shuangxi was also surprised, and looked back along Du Xun's eyes, but saw that the cavalry he left in the area of Dongbianmen and Chongwenmen was desperately fleeing towards his side.

In the faint light of the early morning, you can see that there are only more than 100 horsemen left, and the galloping speed is already very fast, but these cavalrymen wearing white felt hats have no intention of sparing horsepower at all, and they are still whipping up their horses, and the horses are constantly sweating with large drops.

"What kind of system is this?"

Li Shuangxi is the first time to see such a look under his command, more than 100 horsemen galloping wildly, behind these cavalry, there is a dull sound of horses' hooves in the silent, cold, morning light and dew of the morning came over, the sound of hooves is like a fierce rainstorm, there are many people between the inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division, from these places there are bursts of dog barking sounds, and later the sound of horse hooves and human voices all the voices inside and outside the capital, the slightest bit of human anger is suppressed.

"Major General, it should be the crown prince's inner cavalry!"

In the past few days, the majesty of the cavalry in the East Palace has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, hanging alone, more than 100 horsemen, stirring up the 780,000 troops who cannot live in peace, from behind the cavalry of the imperial camp, it should be such a strong army.

Li Shuangxi's eyes were also squinted, the young general, seeing the strong soldiers killed, not only did not panic, on the contrary, he was only eager to try!

"Follow me!" Seeing that the enemy was imminent, Li Shuangxi's broad and thick eyebrows were full of joy, and with a wave of his hand, he rode out first and stepped forward.

When the enemy rides in front, it is nothing more than head-on! Cavalry against cavalry, it is to collide, pierce the formation, fight, and fight with courage and determination!

"Kill!"

Immediately behind Li Shuangxi, the eight hundred elite cavalry also waved their knives and spears, and a half-moon-shaped formation was formed during the gallop, and the well-trained imperial cavalry naturally formed a beautiful outflanking formation!

The sun rose a little higher, round, red, began to exude a slight heat, just under the rising sun, a young general wearing iron armor, wearing a red cloak galloped in front, behind him, is a tall and strong man carrying a white "Li" banner, and then behind, there are more than 800 rugged and fierce cavalry who have experienced a hundred battles, the swords, spears and guns in their hands are shining in the morning sun, and every purple red face is a fierce and powerful killing atmosphere!

On the opposite side, of course, the remnants of the cavalry led by Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing, they consisted of nearly 300 cavalry, and the bloody battle so far, only 100 cavalry remained.

But when they came up, it was not the subordinates of these two people who showed their bravery, Gong Yonggu and they had already fought in succession, although they still had considerable combat effectiveness now, but in any case, they could not be compared with the iron cavalry of more than 100 people in the array!

Those cavalry in the middle are all a beautiful silver chain mail, the horses are also outside the mouth, the horses are very, each holding a single knife or a double knife, or a sharp and abnormal short axe, when the time of the fierce battle, this team of cavalry suddenly entered, cut the cavalry of the army into two, and then with fewer enemies, it was hard to break through the formation of the army several times, and the other party who killed the desert fled, and left more than 200 people's surnames, and then rushed forward, all the way to pursue...... This team is extremely powerful, and the combat effectiveness that makes Gong Yonggu amazed is the cavalry in the East Palace led by Wei Yue.

After sending Wei Xun to report the news, Wei Yue defeated several intrusive infantry along the way, and then galloped forward, knowing that the enemy army broke through the outer city and entered, this group of cavalry quickly rushed to Chaoyangmen, and finally rushed to the battlefield before Gong Yonggu and others were eliminated.

It was easy to kill, because they were worried about the safety of the prince, and after the three of them joined forces, more than 200 horsemen chased the retreating cavalry all the way to the vicinity of Chaoyang Gate.

"I don't know if the prince is gone......"

Facing the elite cavalry that broke into the camp, the number was far above him, but what Wei Yue was thinking about was, of course, Zhu Cihong's safety or not.

Either way, defeating the enemy in front of you is the only option!

Looking at the white flag of the Li character, the military generals with red horses and red spears galloped over, wearing a purple cloak, a cherry helmet on his head, and Wei Yue, who was wearing silver chain mail, slowly pulled out the double knives on the left and right sides of his waist, and while stepping forward, he laughed loudly to the left and right: "Brothers, the bloody battle is continuous, can you still stand it?" ”

"Wei Da rest assured, it's okay to kill seven in and seven out."

"Good horses and good armor, my mother and son have also been sent to Nanjing, and the money of the An family has been sent...... What else is there to say about life like this? Who really wants to live for a thousand years? ”

"That's Wang Ba, it's a turtle!"

"Haha, what I'm saying is that if it's a man, he will kill it."

"Brothers, see you in the next life."

After all, the number of cavalry in the camp far exceeded that of their own side, and in addition to a small amount of cotton armor, it can also be seen that most of them are wearing iron armor, which is also an ordinary armor and soldiers!

With such a strong enemy, everyone also knows in their hearts that it is difficult to get out of this killing field alive.

It's just that at this time, no one shows cowardice, after killing for so many days, many brothers have died on the battlefield, how can a good man shrink his eggs and be afraid at this time?

"Then kill me!"

Wei Yue didn't say much, urging to step off the war horse, that is, facing the opponent's main general, he bumped into it head-on!

People shout and neigh, and the sword flashes!

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the two iron streams collided without hesitation! I don't know how many people were knocked off the horse in the first place!

The muscles and bones of the fallen horse are broken, and they only grit their teeth and work hard in the middle of the horse's legs, at this time any sound of survival is in vain! Everyone was red-eyed, and many cavalrymen were huddled together, and the first time they didn't fall off their horses or were stabbed, they just used all their strength at this time, slashed the long knife in their hands at the opponent, and stabbed the spear and iron spear at the opponent's body!

Some of the shooters and musketeers remained on the periphery, desperately shooting arrows and firing firearms, and people kept being shot down or knocked to the ground, screaming out in bursts of screams.

But in a short time, after the violent collision, neither side retreated, and around this small killing field, there was only the sound of horses' hooves, the muffled sound of people falling, the uncontrollable screams when they were slashed or poked by knives and guns, and the moans of the dying people lying on the ground, with dust and blood on their faces...... A knife in the face, Li Shuangxi, who was also a master in the young life of the army, was chopped off the horse, and the black-and-red-faced man on the opposite side was like a giant spirit god, and there was inexhaustible strength between his hands, one knife after another, both hands were cut in turn, and he couldn't count how many knives there were in a row.

Fortunately, Li Shuangxi's personal soldiers were able to rescue him desperately, and he didn't dare to ask him to come forward anymore, but he just stayed behind the formation and commanded his subordinates to surround this Ming army.

"Don't let one go!" Li Shuangxi, whose face was covered with dust for half of his face, breathed fire in his eyes, and kept giving orders one after another.

After all, they have a large number of people, and after the collision, they have gradually taken the initiative, although the more than 100 cavalry wearing iron chain mail are all good, but after all, they are still numbers, and many people have already fallen off their horses, or they have been shot off their horses by the outskirts of the intruding army archers.

The two wings gradually closed in, and many Ming troops in the middle had been killed and scattered, and they were fighting on their own, while Liu Wenbing and other more than ten cavalry had been forced to leave the battlefield and were gradually forced away by a cavalry of more than 50 people.

The situation is getting more and more unfavorable, the besieged Ming army is already quite desperate, and the Chaoyang Gate not far away is full of infantry, such a cavalry duel, waiting for them to come, I am afraid that it will be too late.

Suddenly, someone in the army shouted: "Here is another group of officers and soldiers!" ”

Although they themselves claim to be the new dynasty, but still can't help but call the Ming army officers and soldiers, after a shout, everyone turned back to look, but saw the Ming army from the north, as if the sea tide was born, at first glance can not see a line, and so on to hear people shouting horse neighing, has been like an angry tide surging! In the blink of an eye, I saw that the number of people was not very large, but the platoon was very wide, it was a "one" type of wide formation, hundreds of iron horsemen, roaring!

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Wei Yue fought fiercely, but his heart was not desperate, at this time, when he saw the banner team, he recognized it at a glance, and the person who came was Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty!
