"How can this work?" Without waiting for others to speak, Zhu Cihong shook his head first: "Foot soldiers, even if you count all the post keepers at the post station, there are less than eight hundred, and since the enemy cavalry is chasing them, there must be more than this morning...... We're a little less, and we'll have to ride two or three thousand! ”

In fact, the cavalry of the imperial camp that broke into the camp and Li Shuangxi's troops added up, which was more than 5,000 cavalry. However, it is necessary to stay to control the city gate and control the line, plus be killed and defeated for a while, so Zhu Cihong's estimate of about 3,000 horsemen should be a more reliable number.

So many cavalry are chasing, and it is conceivable that they are eager for revenge and are in full swing.

With a few hundred foot soldiers and a civil official like Wang Jiayan as the main commander, even if there is a benefit to the terrain, I am afraid that it will only be an enemy of others, and it will not last long.

As soon as he thought of this, Wei Yue also shook his head and said, "My lord, the geographical advantage must be similar to the enemy in order to be useful. What good is it for adults to stay here with hundreds of tired soldiers, who are overwhelmed by the enemy's front? It is better to ask the humble duty to take all the cavalry to block the attack, and with the combat power of the cavalry, a desperate blow can always delay a little time. ”

"Your hundreds of horsemen, all of them died in battle, can you keep it for half a day?"

"Yes!"

"But I don't believe it!" Wang Jiayan's tone became colder and colder, looking at Wei Yue, and said in a cold voice: "For major matters related to the survival of the country, how can you allow you to be biased towards the generals!" ”

All the way, they were all struggling to escape, even if it was the emperor, he was just riding Xiao Ran. So no one can say anything about their status, but at this time, Wang Jiayan threw up his official hat to suppress people, Wei Yue swallowed his saliva, and his face was stagnant, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

And Wang Jiayan, in fact, also has unspeakable hardships.

Now everyone wants to escape, but since the moment he saw the crown prince return to the city to rescue the emperor, he was determined to use his family name to protect the young lord.

And thinking about it, the prince has no political foundation in the court, and his prestige can be used to make a fuss except for the word "heroic", and nothing else can be talked about.

This dynasty is different from the previous dynasty, although it is the concentration of imperial power, but at the same time, it is also the imperial power and the civil official as a whole to restrain each other, especially in this last days, when the imperial power declines, and the emperor can still control the ministers, the prince is absolutely impossible at this age.

Therefore, in the hands of the crown prince, there must be reliable force. In the future, when he came to Nanjing, he slowly governed the law and gave the prince the power to lead the troops. With his current status, he will just say in the future, if he can't leave, anyway, he will also entrust it to Li Banghua and others, and he can't make a mistake!

This kind of thing, how can it be explained clearly and clearly with a martial artist like Wei Yue...... "Wang Qing ......"

"Prince!" Wang Jiayan said with an agitated expression: "Please don't say it again." Even if the minister dies here, he also deserves to die. As long as the emperor and the crown prince arrive in Nanjing safely, the ministers can smile in Jiuquan even if they die. ”

"Don't say that," Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "The surname of the minister of the dynasty is also related to the national system, besides, I will be useful in the future, how can I ask you to throw your surname here!" ”

"That?"

"You don't have to fight anymore," Zhu Cihong straightened up and looked around. But he saw that the remnant sun was like blood, and under Wang Jiayan's order, the car formation had already spread out by the river, he took a deep breath and said to the people around: "I have a plan in my heart, if you follow the order, you can probably defeat the enemy for a while, even if you can't really break the enemy, you can also cause great damage to the enemy." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jiayan and the others were still skeptical, but the officers and soldiers inside the company were convinced.

In the past few months, the crown prince has almost exhausted his last resort, there is nothing that he did not expect, of course, the ability and perseverance to execute are even more admirable, if one thing is not done well, it must be done a hundred times.

If such a king says it can be done, then it will definitely be done!

At that moment, Wei Yue and Wang Yuan, Li Gong and the others took a deep look, and only hugged their fists and said: "The ministers and others are all according to the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

………… After two hours of pursuit, the lightly armed Tanma newspaper in front of him was less than three miles away, where the Ming army was stationed.

At this time, it is almost dark, which is not conducive to fierce battles. In this era, although it cannot be said that everyone has night blindness, it should be considered a common condition that many people cannot see at night due to malnutrition. Because of this, it is very rare to be able to see things at night and act as usual.

But Li Shuangxi is eager to break the enemy, and Luo Hu will lead the main force to arrive in an instant, as long as he does a good job of sentry and checking the terrain first, then as soon as Luo Hu arrives, he will be able to lead his troops to break the enemy.

"Find out if there are any ambushes around the enemy, search a few miles of land, and then see how many archers they have, whether they have firearms, and then see how good their morale is, whether they have food, whether they have camps, how many infantry, and how many horses they have...... Don't be lazy, rabbit cubs, after this battle, just fucking wait for your wife to be sealed, and enjoy happiness in the rest of your life! ”

Although it was not Luo Hu who led the front team, it was Li Shuangxi, who was eager to please the former military envoy because of his anger and revenge. However, although he was young and lost a battle because of his impetuousness, after all, he was Li Zicheng's righteous son, he was old and old, he was not very old, but he also had more than a dozen wounds on his body, and he had fought for more than ten years, and his battlefield experience and feeling were also very rich.

"Yes," a bearded sentry probe replied with a smile: "We all understand that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in front of him, and this merit is greater than the sky, and we all have a better calculation: if you don't die, you will be blessed!" ”

"Yes," the surrounding sentinels and all the cavalry laughed when they heard this, and they all said, "That's right, if you don't die, you will be happy!" ”

"Good!" Li Shuangxi's face lit up excitedly, and he raised his whip and smiled: "I don't need to say more about entering the mother, since you know, just wait for the mother!" ”

After a while, the sentries returned, and they had already investigated the other party's situation clearly.

There were forty or fifty carts, and it seemed that there were some firearms on either side of the carts, but there were no large ones...... This is conceivable, and the large firearms cannot be carried at all.

As for the number of the other party, after detailed observation by sentinels, there are no more than 1,500 people at most, and a considerable part of them are slaves and subordinates, as well as eunuchs and a small number of palace people, so the people who can fight, but it is 12300 people, of which half are infantry and half cavalry, of course, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is very amazing, which Li Shuangxi has long understood.

"Brother Huzi, the sentry is like this, there is a small river in front of him, and the horses can wade through the water, and the sky is not yet dark...... They set up chariots on both sides of the river, about the width of the river in the middle, so that the front retreated far back...... Brother Huzi, do it! ”

By the time Luo Hu arrived, Li Shuangxi had already done everything he could, and he had dressed his stomach neatly, and in his eyes, there was only the eagerness to take revenge on the enemy.

"Well done!" Luo Hu was also very excited, and slammed Li Shuangxi's shoulder very affectionately, and said with a smile: "Wherever you fall, you can get up, and the emperor will personally adjust you." ”

"Hehe, so what are you waiting for?" Li Shuangxi shouted: "Brother Huzi, give the order." ”

"Not yet." Luo Hu shook his head, stepped forward by himself, and shouted, "I have to see it twice for myself." ”

"Brother Huzi, you are just too careful...... Can't wait for dark! ”

"I'll save it."

Four hooves flew over, carrying two young generals to a high post, with the help of the bloody remnant sun, Luo Hu and Li Shuangxi looked at the Ming army camp not far away.

The smoke rose in the curling, Li Shuangxi was very careful, and kept separating the team for a few miles, while the Ming army sentry scout left after a few glances from a distance, no longer going deeper, it seemed that a battle had been fought since the morning, and then marched for dozens of miles, and the Ming army on the opposite side was already exhausted, and it was impossible to rush again if it did not take a good rest.

"Hmph, look at their cowardice, let's go all the way and fight all the way, and it's common for dozens of days to not rest!"

Although Li Shuangxi is arrogant, what he said is also true, the army has no real foundation until now, and it was even more rogue in the past, and it is common for him to keep fighting for several months.

"Alright, pass me the order!"

Because Li Shuangxi did a good job in advance, Luo Hu also knew about it, although this young general had rich experience, he didn't see the horror of the Ming army's battle formation on the opposite side!

In the middle is a shallow river, not deep or wide, not to mention ferries and sailors, which is more psychologically than practical for the Ming army.

There were more than 20 carts on each wing, and there were not many firearms, and the formation in the middle retreated a little, forming an obvious crescent shape with the two wings.

If Luo Hu could be familiar with the military books and historical stories, he should know what this formation was all about, but at this time, he only had practical experience, and the knowledge in the military books was still very shallow, and now he was more worried that the opponent's cavalry might make a detour to counterattack, so after a pause, he categorically ordered: "First send three hundred horsemen to attack their two wings, fire arrows in the middle, and fire cannons, no need to impact." ”

"Emptyest ...... in the middle"

"Otherwise," although Luo Hu didn't really understand, he still thought that the general was cautious, and warned Li Shuangxi: "The emptiest place is often a little dangerous, let's take a look." ”

In this way, with the swing of the flags of the lieutenants and the soldiers around Luo Hu, the cavalry of the breaking army began to trot forward first, and the Chinese army also advanced, the two wings of the entire battle line flew first, and the Chinese army dragged back slightly, under the command of the flag and the sound of the horn, the horse speed was slowly raised, and when it was less than a mile away, the whole battle line was like spring thunder rolling in the sky, within a radius of dozens of miles, the birds were startled, the beasts were traced, between heaven and earth, it seemed that there was only the power of the cavalry impact, and when the shouting and killing sound sounded like thunder, the entire Ming army was in front of the formation, But when I saw the forest-like spears and halberds laid flat in front of the horses, and in front of the whole formation, I saw the horse team rolling in, followed by bows and arrows flying, the medicine sent out by the fire guns, and countless more and more real and vivid hideous faces!
