Zhu Kuangye persuaded: "In this case, please ask the commander of the capital to hand over the command of the Fourth Army to his humble post, and the commander of the capital will lead the army south to break through the siege." ”

Ding Sijin looked up at the sky and asked softly, "If you were the commander of the Fourth Army, would you leave the army behind and break through alone?" ”

Zhu Kuangye felt a pang in his heart, and he already knew that this persuasion was in vain.

He understood Ding Siji, and if it were him, he would never leave five thousand cavalry and flee alone.

It's not just about honor, it's about humanity.

If the lives of some soldiers were exchanged for the survival of a large army, Zhu Kuangye might still be able to accept it, but if he wanted to exchange the lives of 5,000 soldiers for his escape, Zhu Kuangye would not do it anyway.

Ding Si said leisurely: "Go ahead, when you counter-charge for a while, don't hesitate, don't worry about the life and death of the soldiers under your command, and keep running south." If you are lucky enough to return to the Ming Kingdom, please tell the emperor on my behalf, in the next life, I am willing to follow the emperor again and gallop the world. ”

Zhu Kuangye knew that this was already an explanation of the future, thinking that a day ago, he was still full of ambition, and he didn't want to, but a day later he was already at the end of the road, and the sadness in his heart came up, which made Zhu Kuangye's eyes sour for a while.

Zhu Kuangye gritted his teeth and responded: "Rest assured, if there is still a breath of air in the humble position, he will definitely pass this on to the emperor." ”

Ding Sijin hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Bring Badong with you, and leave some seeds for the Fourth Army." ”

When Zhu Kuangye heard this, his eyes were sour, and he couldn't say anything after forbearance.

Ding Sijin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, you don't have to say goodbye for a while." Remember, don't look back. ”

Zhu Kuangye bowed his head and said, "Obey." ”

The battle finally began, and the Liao army poured in from all sides.

However, the Liao army in the west and north quickly fell into the minefield thrown by the Ming army. Countless lives were lost in the explosion.

Ding Sijin ordered the Fourth Army to quickly assault to the east, which was the way to pay the lives of thousands of soldiers to join Zhu Kuangye's division at dusk, but now, he had to pay the price of the lives of the whole army to go back and buy time for Zhu Kuangye's division to break through.

As soon as the battle started, the sadness in Ding Sijing's heart was thrown out of the clouds, and he now had only one thought in his mind.

Kill. Kill, kill the enemy.

Watching the Fourth Army counter-charge towards the attacking Leather Room Army from the east.

Zhu Kuangye was ruthless and ordered both the cavalry and Jiang Yansi's Badong to quickly charge south.

Fierce battles, bloody battles, and vicious battles.

Zhu Kuangye's cavalry relied on five rounds of ammunition from the musket. Quickly halted the charge of the southern leather room army, and then broke the road ahead with grenades.

What followed was a hard-fought hand-to-hand fight.

The 5,000 Leather Room Army, which was already small in number, had already lost more than 1,000 people in the previous two waves of attacks, and this time was different from the previous two times. The touch explosion of a mine is passive. As long as the Liao army did not step on it, it would not be dangerous, and the second Ming army's musket fire, because of the night, was only fired blindly in one direction.

And now, it's face-to-face shooting and throwing, and even detonation at close range.

As a result, the less than 4,000 leather room army had already suffered nearly half of the casualties before the hand-to-hand fight with Zhu Kuangye's troops.

The remaining cavalry of the Leather Room Army was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

After half an hour of fighting. Zhu Kuangye's troops paid 30% of the casualties and completely annihilated this leather room army.

This opened the way to the south, but it only ran five miles.

The Liao tribal army stationed in the south was ordered by Yelu Shuogu. Abandoned the fortification, the whole army went north.

The number of this clan army is not large, but it is also twice the number of Zhu Kuangye's department, 6,000 people.

Zhu Kuangye's department had run out of ammunition at this time, so he could only fight hard.

There was no time to make any preparations, and the two armies quickly collided in the night.

In the dark night when you can't see your five fingers, you can only vaguely see a black shadow in front of you when you wait within a zhang.

At this time, there is no time to evade, or even to think.

"Boom" and crashed into each other.

This battle has nothing to do with fighting spirit, fighting spirit, physique, horsemanship, or even ordnance.

It was a suicidal battle.

Invisible enemy battles.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Liao army.

After the fight, it was all messed up.

The only way to identify friend or foe is by touch.

It was the Liao army who touched the fur, and it was the Ming army who touched the cloth, and it was the Ming army who touched the cloth, and continued to touch the next one.

The battle lasted for three hours, and it was almost dawn before it ended.

At this time, the Ming army could stand less than 2,000 people.

Zhu Kuangye's left arm was numb, perhaps because of the excessive bleeding, he didn't know when it was scratched, and he didn't know if it was scratched by a Liao soldier.

He only knew that he was alive, and it was good to be alive.

Zhu Kuangye slowly straightened his waist and looked around in the twilight sky.

Slowly, the soldiers of the Ming army gathered towards Zhu Kuangye.

Jiang Yansi, Jiang Yanzhao, and Zhu Guichao are also alive, except for the blood stains on their bodies, the three of them were not injured in the slightest, and the three of them saw that one person was missing, so they hurriedly searched for Zhu Guilin's whereabouts and turned over the body for a while.

Jiang Yansi found Zhu Guilin under the corpses of several Liao soldiers, and the three of them thought that he was killed in battle, but they didn't want Zhu Guilin to gasp for breath after a while.

Zhu Guichao stepped forward and touched his whole body, and was relieved to find that there were no missing parts.

At this time, Zhu Kuangye had already counted the Ming troops who were still alive.

Of the 1,766 people, only one hundred and twenty-seven people remained in Jiang Yansi's Padang capital.

Zhu Kuangye's heart is dripping blood, this is the elite that Chen Yanzheng selected from the 80,000 Ming army.

And Jiang Yansi's happiness for being alive was quickly replaced by sadness, the soldiers of Padangdu were all their villagers, many of whom were relatives of the four, and the battle damage was so large that everyone who was alive felt heart-rending pain.

But he was still in danger, and Zhu Kuangye reacted first.

"Hurry up and form a team and continue south." Zhu Kuangye shook off the pain in his heart and ordered loudly.

"To the south? Where to go south? ”

"We go south, what will the Fourth Army do?"

……。

Jiang Yansi, Jiang Yanzhao, Zhu Guichao, and the four of them were stunned when they heard this, they always thought that they were separated from the Fourth Army, and it was Ding Sijing's strategic arrangement to break through to the south, and to break through for the Fourth Army.

Leaving his main force to flee for his life, the Fourth Army ran out of the 1st battalion of Padangdu?

Even Padang now has just over a hundred people left.

Jiang Yansi, Jiang Yanzhao, Zhu Guichao, and Zhu Guilin couldn't accept this fact, and when they went back like this, they felt that they were no different from deserters, and even more shameful than deserters.

The deserters escaped to themselves, but they had to pay the lives of the entire Fourth Army to get a chance to survive. (To be continued......)
