On the log, several monks waved their blades to block the arrows, but their bodies did not dare to shake at all, as long as they moved, they would fall off the trench!

Although most of the bows and arrows were blocked, a few arrows still hit them, and the two monks were hit by arrows and suddenly fell into the trench. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info even Xin Yan was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and his body was skewed, but he reacted very quickly, and actually jumped from the log, chased the clouds and the moon, and landed steadily on the edge of the trench.

Xinyan didn't care about the arrow wound on his body, with the arrow on his shoulder, he roared angrily, brandished the Vajra Zen staff, and swept down the officers and soldiers in front of him! The rest of the monks also landed one after another, assisting Xinyan together, and fighting with more than 100 officers and soldiers!

Annoyed and angry, Deputy Qianhu commanded the archers to desperately attack those hateful monks, and it was already very difficult for Xinyan and the others to deal with the enemy in front of them, where was there room to dodge bows and arrows. In the blink of an eye, several people were hit by several arrows, and their bodies were covered in blood, but they were still standing, blocking the way of the officers and soldiers!

Although there were only a few of them, it made those officers and soldiers unable to move forward, and they could only watch as the Ming army erected bridges, and a large group of soldiers and horses rushed over!

At this time, the guards and horses were also killed! But Wang Xian's army had already arrived, killed the remaining enemy soldiers, and turned his back to the pontoon bridge, forming a strong defensive line, attacking the enemy with bows and arrows and muskets. The enemy troops who rushed over had spears and sabers waiting to keep the guards and horses out of the defensive line!

Behind them, several more bridges were erected, and the army was stepping up time, crossing the bridge in a steady stream, and more and more Wang Xianjun soldiers joined the battle group, completely stabilizing the defense line!

At this time, Xu Huaiqing and his 5,000 cavalry also crossed the river, and immediately clenched their fists at Wang Xian, and then led their subordinates to the northeast to kill!

Mo Wen organized the soldiers to entangle the enemy army with the least number of troops, let as many cavalry as possible mount, and intercept the follow-up troops of the enemy army that were already close at hand!

Only when the cavalry is on a horse can it exert the power of the king of the battlefield!

If there is no question, Wang Xian can ignore the battle situation for the time being and come to the front of the senior brothers.

I saw Xinci sitting on the ground with a sad face, Xinyan lying in his arms, his whole body was covered with blood, his breath was faint, and he was on the verge of death.

"Senior Brother......" Wang Xian was extremely sad, he never expected that as soon as he stepped into Gyeonggi, he suddenly lost several senior brothers. Especially Senior Brother Yan with a cold face and a warm heart, for many years, he has been silently guarding his side, I don't know how many times he has protected him in danger, who would have thought that he would say goodbye forever.

Wang Xian knelt beside Xinyan, and said with tears in his eyes: "I was carried away by the victory, and I attacked the enemy, and I hurt you......"

A smile bloomed with a strict heart, and he hissed: "Senior brother doesn't have to be like this, this is the ...... of war" Saying, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face and said: "Master's apprentices, after all, the six roots are not pure, and the ancient Buddha of the green lantern sits and dies, it is better to die on the battlefield like this, Ma Ge...... Shroud ......"

After speaking, Xinyan closed his eyes and breathless.

Xinci and the others looked sad, folded their hands, silently recited Buddhist scriptures, and sent their senior brother on his last journey......

At this time, Mo Wen had already commanded the cavalry, broke the guards and horses, and drove them into the trench like dumplings. There was no time to give them too much grief, Wang Xian and the others shed tears, and took the bodies of Xinyan and several senior brothers with them.

Zhang Xuan led the army to arrive, Wang Xian and his cavalry troops had already gotten rid of the entanglement of the remnants of the guard, and were far away between Zhang Yuan's army and the capital!

Wang Xian hid his sadness in his heart, pointed to the tens of thousands of troops in the distance, and shouted at his subordinates: "Entangle them here!" ”

The soldiers responded in an uproar, and although there were many enemy troops, the situation was no longer as dangerous as before. The mobility of the cavalry is far beyond the reach of the infantry! They have a hundred ways to torture these officers and soldiers to death!

In fact, there is no need for Wang Xian to worry about it at all, Zhang Xuan will definitely not pay attention to the five thousand cavalry who took the road, since the moment he saw Wang Xian's figure, there was no one else in his eyes, he drew his sword and pointed ahead, and roared with hideous eyes: "Kill him!" Before the words fell, he led thousands of cavalry to pounce on Wang Xian, and the infantry soldiers followed closely and launched a fierce attack on Wang Xian!

They were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows and muskets, and the officers and soldiers poured stubble after stubble as if they were cutting wheat, but Zhang Xuan ignored it, and still led the army to rush forward, and it seemed that he was about to rush to the front. Wang Xian's army retreated like a tide, and generally retreated, while continuing to shoot at them with bows and arrows and muskets, Zhang Xian was not afraid of death, but he could not touch Wang Xian's shadow, but was hit by an arrow in his knee.

"General!" Seeing that he was hit by an arrow, the soldiers hurriedly surrounded him, but were pushed away by Zhang Xuan. I saw that he stretched out his hand to hold the shaft of the arrow, and actually pulled out the carved long arrow violently!

In the shocked eyes of the soldiers, Zhang Xuan's eyes were red with blood, and he roared heartbreakingly: "Keep chasing!" ”

Encouraged by the commander-in-chief, all the soldiers were vigorous and continued to pursue relentlessly, and Wang Xian's cavalry remained steadfast in advancing and retreating, killing and wounding the enemy only with bows and arrows and muskets. Although a lot of casualties were caused, Daxing's troops arrived one after another, and there were more and more officers and soldiers, still biting behind them!

Wang Xian took them to go around in a circle in Daxing County, but he didn't dare to get too close to the north, although he didn't know that Zhu Zhanji would lead the army to reinforce, but after the painful lesson of Fang Cai, Wang Xian didn't dare to be careless! He wanted to preserve his army as much as he could, and he couldn't let them take any more risks......

However, in any case, on this vast North China Plain, Wang Xian's cavalry always had room to toss and turn, and the risks they took were far from being comparable to Xu Huaiqing who went north......

Thinking of Xu Huaiqing, Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, looking at the hard battle here, I am afraid that Tongzhou will definitely not be as optimistic as expected......

Wang Xian stubbornly entangled Daxing's army, and Xu Huaiqing led 5,000 cavalry to drive straight in, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at Mafang Temple, which was twenty miles away from Tongzhou, and saw a group of scouts from the official army. Further on, there was even more smoke and dust, and it was obvious that the number of enemy troops was beyond imagination!

"General, it's broken." The Jinyi guards who came to the joint confirmed Xu Huaiqing's worries: "Yesterday, Yang Rong and Li Xian led an army of 100,000 to drive 200,000 people, and rushed to Tongzhou overnight to transfer grain and grass to the capital. ”

Xu Huaiqing and the generals on the side were cloudy, and his deputy Zhang Dahai gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Rong, this old fox, is a big thing that will harm us!" ”

Although they had already expected that the imperial court might have begun to transfer Tongzhou's grain and grass, they never expected that it would be such a large formation-100,000 troops escorting, which was to turn the whole process into an iron wall! 200,000 people are transported, I am afraid that the grain in Tongzhou will be transported in less than three days!

"General, what should I do?" The generals looked at Xu Huaiqing one after another, because according to Shangfeng's order, if such an extreme situation occurred in front of them, they should not hesitate to withdraw......

Xu Huaiqing's face sank like water: "What should I do?" Mix with garlic! ”

The generals have been fighting with him for many years, and they know that this is the mantra that their generals are ready to fight hard.

"If you let the officials and soldiers transport all the grain and grass from Tongzhou back to the capital," Xu Huaiqing's gloomy gaze swept over the soldiers under his command, and said in a loud voice: "We will definitely lose the whole war!" As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows, slammed his chest and said, "That's why Grandpa sent us here!" ”

The soldiers under his command were breathing heavily, the fear and hesitation on their faces gradually receded, and they heard their general roar angrily: "This errand is what Lao Tzu fought so hard for!" So even if I die, I'm going to finish it! Saying that, Xu Huaiqing said in a deep voice to the brocade guard in front of him: "Tell my grandfather for me, I will go too!" After that, he clamped his legs between the horse's belly, raised his gun and shouted: "If it's a man, follow me!" ”

Xu Huaiqing doesn't have as many big truths as Wang Xian, and he doesn't understand those mysterious ways of commanding the army, so he only has eight simple words: 'share weal and woe, live and die together'. But simple does not mean that it is not easy to use, and even more in line with the appetite of the soldiers, for many years, he has always adhered to these eight words, and has never violated it in the slightest, and the soldiers under his command have long regarded him as a father and brother, and they are willing to follow him to the soup!

Seeing their own generals rushing out, the soldiers also rushed to follow closely behind, and killed in the direction of the smoke and dust!

When the official scouts saw Xu Huaiqing's soldiers and horses, they didn't expect it to be the enemy at all, and stupidly stepped forward to interrogate: "What part are you?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he was crushed into meat sauce by the rolling iron horseman, and the scouts in the distance knew that something was wrong, so they hurriedly fled one after another, and reported in the direction of the capital and Tongzhou.

Xu Huaiqing ignored those scouts at all, and led the army straight into the middle of the official army!

Yongtong Bridge is eight miles away from Tongzhou in the east, and thirty miles away from the capital in the west, which is the throat of Beijing City from Tongzhou. Normally, the grain ships enter Beijing from the Yongtong River under the bridge, such as today's cold and freezing, the river is frozen, and the grain convoy can only cross the bridge by land. Because the bridge deck is narrow, only two grain trucks can be allowed on the bridge in parallel, so it is naturally congested, and a large number of grain trucks gather in the west of the bridge and wait to cross the bridge.

At this moment, more than 10,000 officers and soldiers are stationed here, vigilantly guarding this choke point, and on the other hand, dredging the bridge in a hurry. However, even if the people listened to them, the cattle pulling the carts were not afraid of them, and they screamed and kicked up, blocking the bridge even more.

Just as it was in a mess, another scout suddenly galloped towards him and reported: "The enemy has been killed!" ”

In an instant, the soldiers and civilians on and under the bridge were all stunned, and they all looked in the direction where the scouts were coming, and sure enough, they saw an iron horse wrapped in billowing smoke and dust, and killed them!

"Mom!" The first man to turn around threw down the cart, hugged his head and ran. The next moment, all the people were panicked, and the carts and horses transporting grain were crooked all over the ground, and the officials and troops were in chaos! (To be continued.) )
