Chapter 1275: Broken Bridge

Daxing, Wang Xian has been fighting with Zhang Xuan's army for most of the day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the gap in the quality of the two armies was reflected, Wang Xian's officers and soldiers came from afar and fought for a long time, but they could still maintain strong combat effectiveness, while Zhang Xian's army only pursued with all their strength for most of the day, and they were already exhausted, and they could not keep up with Wang Xian's footsteps more and more.

Wang Xian could even ask the army to stop and rest for a while, waiting for the pursuers to follow, and if this momentum develops, the drag can drag Zhang Xuan's army to death.

"Grandpa, you can take the opportunity to beat them!" Zhang Yi and others asked for battle: "Defeat Daxing's army, so as not to suffer the enemy on your back!" "Jin Yiwei has sent the news that Zhu Zhanji led the army south to Wang Xianjun!

Wang Xian was unmoved, and continued to move eastward unhurriedly, as if he was going to fight Zhang Xuan to the end.

When the soldiers were puzzled, they saw a number of fast horses, under the banner of Xu Huaiqing, galloping from the north.

The fast horses were led to Wang Xian, and the knight immediately didn't care about getting off his horse and saluting, so he reported loudly: "Grandpa, Yang Rong has taken an army of 100,000 and escorted 200,000 people, and has begun to transport the grain and grass from Tongzhou to the capital!" ”

"What?!" Wang Xian's shocked expression changed greatly, and he asked in a lost voice, "Where is General Xu now?!" ”

"My general has already led the army to kill!"

"This bastard!" Wang Xian scolded loudly, and fell silent with a black face.

All the generals around him did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing Wang Xian's thoughts.

At this moment, it was completely difficult for Wang Xian to maintain a calm mood. He had to re-examine whether he had taken the enemy too lightly from the beginning!

"My lord, your strategy is correct, the enemy is strong and I am weak, our army has no other way, only to break through the pass as soon as possible and take Tongzhou, can we completely turn the tide of the war!" Seeing that Wang Xian seemed to be about to drill the tip of the bull's horns, Mo Wen hurriedly said in a deep voice: "If we don't break through Zhangjiakou as soon as possible, use an army of more than 100,000 foreign powerhouses to attract the main force of the official army, and smuggle across the Bauhinia Pass in the starry night, we will be trapped in the Hetao!" After a long time, the soldiers thought of returning, the army's morale was scattered, and they were defeated without a fight! ”

"Hmm......" Wang Xian nodded and sighed, "We really don't have a choice. ”

"And the officials and soldiers can't all be rice buckets, at least Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others have no vain soldiers under their fame." Mo Wen comforted again: "We can think that Tongzhou is the lifeblood of the capital, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi can naturally think of it!" Since Tongzhou is related to the survival of the capital, they used 100,000 troops to escort it, which is also the proper meaning of the question! ”

"Yes, I shouldn't underestimate the heroes of the world!" Wang Xian said, but laughed and said, "That's interesting!" Competing in the Central Plains, how can there be no master game?! ”

"Grandpa, make up your mind! I don't frown when I go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire! Zhang Yi and the others saw that the coach cheered up, and they all shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry everyone, it's Ben Shuai who is too aggressive to put you in danger!" Wang Xian smiled apologetically to everyone, the situation in front of him was indeed extremely dangerous, the reinforcements from Shandong had not yet arrived, but Wang Xian took 20,000 horses and killed the left side of the capital with more than 200,000 troops, which was tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife!

When the generals heard this, they were about to comfort Wang Xian, but when they saw him raise their eyebrows, they changed their words and said: "But if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you can only use dangerous moves!" Since we have chosen this path, we can only take risks to the end! ”

"Don't entangle with them, the army will immediately go north to Tongzhou!" Wang Xian roared and gave orders to his soldiers!

The generals were shocked when they heard the fate, and they all understood that the coach was going to make a desperate bet!

Because once the army chooses to go north to Tongzhou, if there is no magic stroke to reverse the situation, it will soon be surrounded by the prince, Zhang Yuan, and Yang Rong's three-way official army!

However, the generals were not afraid, but howled excitedly: "Yes! ”

After a series of incredible victories, all of them are convinced that their coach has a pair of eyes that can see through the surface of the battle and get to the root of the victory! You will be able to guide them to defeat strong enemies and achieve the ultimate victory!

Under this mad and even blind trust, the fifteen thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses and galloped north!

Before leaving, Wang Xian sent a message to the reinforcements from Shandong, so that they could act at the opportunity...... Now that the battle situation is complicated and the outcome is unpredictable, it is no longer something that mortals can predict, and he can only give such a vague instruction and let Erhei and Deng Xiaoxian judge for themselves.

Tongzhou.

Under Yang Rong's strict orders, Li Xian led 20,000 cavalry in the city to meet Xu Huaiqing.

At this time, the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the grain and grass only need to muster all their spirit and protect the safety of the grain transportation team. The task of driving Xu Huaiqing's 5,000 cavalry was all handed over to Li Xian's 20,000 cavalry. Li Xian's army is composed of elite cavalry such as Tiger Ben and Hussars, even if their ability is not as good as Xu Huaiqing's subordinates, but with a large number of people and a new force, it is still not a problem to bite behind them!

At this moment, Xu Huaiqing and his 5,000 cavalry could no longer enter the land of no one, and it was even difficult for them to get close to the grain transportation team of the official army. 20,000 cavalry is too much, and it is divided into several teams, outflanking, intercepting, and supporting each performing their duties, and they are not given a chance to take advantage of it at all!

Seeing the change in the battle situation, the escort team of the officers and soldiers cheered, and their fear of Xu Huaiqing suddenly eased a lot. Under the urging of Yang Rong's envoy, they all prepared to go on the road again......

"It's not going to go on like this!" Xu Huaiqing was so anxious that he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

At this moment, dozens of brocade guards came out of the horizontal stab and came to Xu Huaiqing.

Xu Huaiqing saw that it was Zhang Dong who was the leader, and his eyes lit up and said, "Why are you here?!" ”

Zhang Dongnai is the surviving Jinyiwei Xinding of Hulu Valley, the successor of Shi Wan's mantle, who has grown extremely fast over the years and has become a commander of Jinyiwei. Wang Xian knew that he was cautious, and after transferring Wu Wei and others out of the capital, he left him in the capital to secretly lead the Jinyi guards who were lurking in the capital.

Obviously, Zhang Dong also knew that the most critical time had come, and he actually took the secret agents under his command to appear in broad daylight!

"General, I'm here to support you." Zhang Dong gritted his teeth at Xu Huaiqing, revealing eight snow-white teeth.

"That's all you have?!" Zhang Dahai looked at the little people around Zhang Dong, and said in his heart that even if they are all top masters, they are useless!

"There are also five hundred people, all of whom are elite agents of the Jinyi Guard," Zhang Dong said lightly: "Let them ambush in the distance, and be at the disposal of the general at any time!" ”

"It's still a ......drop in the bucket," Zhang Dahai pouted.

"Great!" Xu Huaiqing was overjoyed and said, "How many explosives do you have in your kid's hand?!" Xu Huaiqing didn't ask if there was any, but directly asked how much, obviously guessing the original purpose of Zhang Dong's trip.

"A lot of ......" Zhang Dong replied as expected: "Originally, we wanted to mix in the grain transportation team and blow up a ticket!" Saying that, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Who knew that if you came one step later, the official army had already made the general a turtle with a shrunken head......"

"Is it enough to blow up the bridge?!" Xu Huaiqing interrupted Zhang Dong and asked in a deep voice.

"What bridge?" Zhang Dong asked cautiously.

"Yongtong Bridge!"

"No problem." Zhang Dong said confidently: "As long as that kind of bridge explodes at a specific location, it will fall down as soon as it explodes, and it won't use much explosives!" ”

"If there is any excess explosives, try to destroy the ice surface around the Yongtong Bridge, and the larger the scope of destruction, the better!" Xu Huaiqing commanded in a deep voice: "Go quickly!" Half an hour later, I'll lead the army to kill! ”

"Uh......" Zhang Dong wanted to say something, but when he heard that it was only half an hour, he quickly turned around and left, racing against time to prepare.

With Zhang Dong's help, Xu Huaiqing's confidence increased greatly, and he said loudly to the soldiers under his command: "Children, cheer up!" Let them see what a real cavalryman is! ”

The soldiers responded violently, shook their spirits, looked back at the moon one after another, used their riding and archery skills, and shot at the pursuers behind them!

Li Xian and his 20,000 cavalry had just seized the initiative, and were about to defeat the 5,000 cavalry in one go, when they were suddenly attacked by them! The cavalry who rushed in front screamed and fell to the ground with their horses, and the cavalry behind them were caught off guard and tripped a lot, which made them angry and angry, and desperately instigated their horses to catch up, and also returned fire with bows and muskets!

After all, it is the ace elite of the Ming Dynasty, and the muskets under Li Xian's subordinates, although they are far inferior to Xu Huaiqing's side, their riding and archery skills are comparable. Once they launched a ruthless attack, Xu Huaiqing and them were really tricky, so they could only desperately urge the war horse and distance themselves from the enemy.

Seeing that Xu Huaiqing, who was invincible, was actually forced to retreat, Li Xian and the others were extremely excited, and excitedly urged their subordinates to chase and fight, even if they couldn't eliminate them, it would be a great victory to drive Xu Huaiqing away!

However, Xu Huaiqing refused to flee far, but retreated eastward along the official road, and Li Xian had no choice but to chase after him. However, he is not too worried, there are still ten miles and eight miles to Tongzhou, where can Xu Huaiqing escape?

In this way, they chased and fled, and when they arrived at Yongtong Bridge, Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry quickly crossed the bridge! Li Xian didn't think about it, so he took his subordinates to the bridge, who knew that he had just passed through the bridge deck, when he heard an earth-shattering loud noise behind him, and almost at the same time, his feet trembled, and a fierce wave of qi, wrapped in gravel and ice chips, slammed into his back!

The soldiers around Li Xian wailed and fell off their horses, but fortunately, they were surrounded by personal soldiers, blocking the impact of the explosion for him, so that he was not overturned and dismounted......

Rao is like this, Li Xian is still so shocked that his ears are buzzing, and his eyes are dark. When he easily regained his eyesight, he saw that Xu Huaiqing and the others who had fled had turned around and killed him! Li Xian couldn't help but look back in a hurry, and when he landed, his heart was shatteredβ€”he saw that the river behind him was full of floating corpses of people and horses and large pieces of broken ice...... The Yongtong Bridge, which originally spanned the river, only the piers on both sides of the river remained, and the bridge body on the river was missing...... (To be continued.) )
