Seeing that the Yongtong River had been blown up to nothing, the more than 10,000 cavalrymen who had not yet crossed the river had become a pot of porridge at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, the ice surface for miles was cracked and shattered in the explosion, and as soon as the war horse stepped on it, it would stumble and fall into the river, and for a moment it was trapped on the opposite bank!

I can only count on the thousands of cavalry who have already crossed the river, but these guys, half of them were so dizzy that they couldn't find the north, and the other half were frightened by the enemy troops who came back, and their combat strength stopped five times. Driven by Li Xian, they reluctantly formed a formation to meet the enemy, but where was the opponent of Xu Huaiqing and others who had succeeded in one blow and had a rainbow of morale!

As soon as the battle began, the officers and troops were killed and collapsed, Li Xian saw that the situation was not good, where did he dare to wait for the large army on the other side to bypass, and hurriedly fled under the protection of his own soldiers.

Although Li Xian didn't fight well, the armor on his body was very precious, and the well-groomed shiny was shining in the winter sunset, so that Xu Huaiqing didn't spend much energy, so he firmly locked on this guy, followed behind and chased after him, chasing Li Xian to the point of relieving his soul, fortunately, the war horse under his crotch, the distance was short, and he fled back to Tongzhou City dangerously!

Xu Huaiqing chased to the city of Tongzhou, and when he saw Li Xian entering the city, he led the army back to deal with those leaderless officers and cavalry!

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and looking at Li Xian, who had returned with a feather, Yang Rong's old face was darker than the sky.

Seeing the murderous Yang Rong, Li Xian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and whispered to the surrounding soldiers: "If he wants to kill me later, you must stop ......" The soldiers nodded, holding the handle of the knife tightly, Li Xian dared to come to Yang Rong, and said with a shameful face: "Pavilion Elder, the last general has tried his best, but he has no choice but to say one foot higher than the demon ......."

"Have you killed all your 20,000 cavalry?!" Yang Rong looked at Li Xian incredulously, if this is the case, how can this battle be fought?

"That's not true, our army is just inadvertently tricked, the main force is intact, it's just, it's just ......" Li Xian was speechless with a red face.

"It's just that the Lord will be chased back to Tongzhou! Why don't you find a piece of tofu and crash to death?! Yang Rong roared angrily and scolded Li Xian as a pig's head, but he also knew that Li Xian could not be killed, the other party had a higher status than himself, and his relationship with the prince was closer than his own, and the army also listened to him...... Suppressing his anger, Yang Rong asked the ins and outs of the matter, and learned that it was not the enemy's combat strength that was unmatched, but the use of stratagem, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Li Xian coldly: "You guard Tongzhou City, and the old man will personally go out of the city to preside over the battle!" ”

"It's getting dark, it's not too late for you to go out of town tomorrow morning." Seeing that Yang Rong didn't kill himself, Li Xian was grateful, and said busily.

"No, it's too late! If you drag it out until tomorrow, the daylilies will be cold! Yang Rong asked people to bring the war horse, turned over, and did not forget to tell Li Xiandao: "Now that the battle situation is treacherous, you must always keep your eyes open and guard Tongzhou City!" Don't miss out on any more! ”

"Elder Ge, don't worry, I promise I won't be fooled again!" Li Xian patted his chest and swore to the sky: "The city is in the people, and the city is dead!" ”

"I hope you will grow wise...... Yang Rong sighed, if possible, he didn't want to use Li Xian to defend the city, but there was really no general around him. And if he changes someone else, Li Xian will definitely not accept it, and he will definitely let the guards be restrained everywhere, but there will be chaos.

Yang Rong took another 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city, and at this time there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses left by Li Xian in Tongzhou, plus the four guards and horses originally stationed here, a total of 30,000 troops were stationed.

Wang Xian's Shandong army is still far away in Cangzhou, even if he suddenly leaves Daxing and desperately kills him, wanting to use the current 15,000 cavalry to break through the city of Tongzhou, which has thick walls and perfect facilities, and garrisons 30,000 troops, is tantamount to a fool's dream!

The only thing that reassures Yang Rong is Li Xian's idiot, he can only tell Li Chang, the head of the household department who stayed in Tongzhou, to give Li Xian more eyes and don't let him be cheated again.

Despite this, when he left Tongzhou City in the night, Yang Rong couldn't help but feel excited, this was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty that a civilian official commanded the army! This is unimaginable in the Hongwu and Yongle years when the civil and military forces were clearly distinguished! This is likely to be an epoch-making watershed for the Ming Dynasty!

If it weren't for that, Yang Rong would not have given in to Li Xian. If he had a stalemate with Li Xian, and the other party didn't agree with him to lead the troops, Yang Rong really couldn't help it......

When he came out of Tongzhou City, Yang Rong regained his composure, he knew what the future would be, it all depended on the battle in front of him, if he could win the beauty, there would be no obstacle for the civil officials to lead the troops from now on. If you can't win, or even lose ugly, everything will be over......

Eliminating all selfish distractions, Yang Rong ordered the army to march carefully, and on the other hand, he asked people to contact the cavalry troops brought out by Li Xian, and also gave orders to the grain transport teams that were cowering everywhere, telling them to stop caring about the grain trucks, and the whole army moved closer to him, preparing to concentrate his forces and strangle Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry overnight!

Originally, Yang Rong was worried that Xu Huaiqing would escape under the cover of night, but the news from the front made him breathe a sigh of relief, that guy was still cruising around Yongtong Bridge, and it seemed that he was determined to nail it between Tongzhou and Beijing!

"Since you want to die so much, the old man will fulfill you!" Yang Rong's white beard fluttered in the night wind, staring coldly at the direction of Yongtong Bridge in the distance, and ordered all departments to surround from all directions, making sure that the damn thousands of cavalry could not fly!

Only the piers of the Yongtong Bridge remained, and Xu Huaiqing and his soldiers stepped up to rest. Although it was burned by fire, the remnants of food were everywhere, and the soldiers even fed the horses directly with snow-white rice, so that the partners who depended on life and death could have a good meal, so that they could have the strength to accompany them to continue to kill the enemy!

Xu Huaiqing held dry food in his hand, eating while inspecting the army in the cold wind, although he knew very well that Yang Rong's army was surrounded from all directions, he did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing.

The officers and men under his command were also aware of their situation, but they were all fearless, talking and laughing loudly there, and some even sang the military song that inspired them to fight in the north and south, and the song drifted far and far in the night wind, until it reached the ears of the officers and soldiers.

Looking at his subordinates who were tired but high-spirited, Xu Huaiqing let out a long breath of turbidity and said to Zhang Dong on the side: "Are you sure Yang Rong is out?" ”

"Sure." Zhang Dong nodded solemnly and said, "I have confirmed with my own eyes, it is indeed him who personally led the army out of the city, and it should be a few miles away from the opposite!" ”

"Hmm." Xu Huaiqing swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, patted the crumbs between his fingers, and said coldly: "If you make a mistake, Lao Tzu will not let you go!" ”

"General rest assured," Zhang Dong always looked at it like that, and said lightly: "You don't have to doubt Jinyiwei's professionalism if you suspect anything." ”

"Okay." Xu Huaiqing nodded, and then said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and report to your grandfather! "In fact, Xu Huaiqing originally planned to use the night to deal with the enemy army, but when he heard that Yang Rong personally led the army out of the city, he decisively changed his mind and wanted to stay in Bali Bridge, where he would meet the world-famous Bachelor Yang for a while!

"I've already sent someone to report the news," Zhang Dong said with a smile: "The news was brought by me, if you pat your ass and leave, wouldn't you be a pit person?" ”

"Don't it, you've got a here!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong: "If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to leave later!" ”

"Farts also have a use for farts, at least they can smoke people." Zhang Dong smiled honestly and said, "General, if you can't command me, don't waste your efforts." ”

"Fuck off!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong fiercely, and Zhang Dong looked at him fearlessly. After a long time, Xu Huaiqing burst out and laughed: "Cheng, when you get to the underworld, if your dead ghost master asks me to settle accounts, you can make it clear yourself!" ”

"Hehe, my master won't ......" Thinking of Shi Wan, Zhang Dong said with respect: "His old man was left in the rear back then, but he resolutely violated the military order and went to Hulu Valley to save his grandfather and ......his party with his own life" Saying, his words were choked, but his eyes became more and more determined: "I can't embarrass his old man!" ”

"With an apprentice like you, he can't be happy to cheat the corpse!" Xu Huaiqing patted Zhang Dong on the shoulder.

At this time, Zhang Dahai came over and asked in a deep voice: "General, let's move west, this place is too close to Tongzhou, if there is really something, Yang Rong can go back with a bust!" ”

"That's why I have the confidence to nail that old fox here!" Xu Huaiqing shook his head categorically and said: "The surname Yang is cautious by nature, he will not be too far away from Tongzhou!" ”

"It's so close, my grandfather just wants to start, I'm afraid I can't find a chance." Zhang Dahai said worriedly.

"Don't underestimate Grandpa, he can not only open and close, but also make a dojo in a snail shell!" Xu Huaiqing was not worried at all and said: "As long as we do what we should do, don't worry about anything else!" ”

"Yes......" The lord was so sure that Zhang Dahai had no choice but to hold back his worries.

At this moment, the scout came galloping from a distance, and shouted, "There is an enemy army in the north, and it is already several miles away!" ”

"Get on the horse! Meet the enemy! Xu Huaiqing's majestic voice echoed in the night sky, and the soldiers immediately got up, swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, and mounted their horses to line up.

"In a night battle, the line of sight is blocked, and it is easy to distinguish between the enemy and me!" Xu Huaiqing rode on a war horse and ordered his soldiers: "Don't rely too much on bows, arrows and muskets, and believe in the horse chopping knife in your hand!" And don't retreat from the enemy, remember, everything that faces you is the enemy! ”

"Yes!" The soldiers responded with a bang, followed their main general, and killed the enemy army in the north!

"Follow my Mingdi! Where the Ming Di goes, it is what your soldiers are pointing to, and there is no advance or retreat until the last man fights! ”

Xu Huaiqing's loud shouts were able to suppress the roaring horses' hooves and lead his soldiers to pounce on the enemy all over the mountains! (To be continued.) )
