At the top of the sun, Zhou Pulema stopped at Koushou Mountain at the west head of Xinziying, holding the reins of a rope and looking at the field in front of the mountain.

In the chaos of last night, the morale of the captives has been lost, their will is almost broken, their physical strength is also almost collapsed, and they have no heart to resist in the face of the Huaidong cavalry who intercepted the road, and they only want to escape from this desperate battlefield like purgatory and meat churner.

However, from the Xinzi camp to the west for the Wei River, to the south for the Whirlpool River, a limited number of bridges, so that tens of thousands of remnants of the cavalry swarmed to fight, countless people trampled on each other in the chaos, pushed and fell into the water, and there was no power to prevent the elite cavalry of Huaidong from the flank into its formation, brandishing a narrow sword, frantically harvesting the lives of the rout.

Zhou Pu looked at the battlefield where rivers of blood flowed, and his heart was as hard as iron.

A dozen horsemen came on horseback, followed by an empty horse, and only when they got close did they see a corpse hunched on the horse's back, all the clothes and armor were there, but there were arrows hanging on the body, and the blood was as red as red, as if the blood in the body had been dripped, and the hands and feet hung down stiffly.

This was one of the few enemy generals who had the courage to countercharge after the First Rider appeared from the flank. Maybe it's death-seeking, right? Zhou Pu looked at the battlefield, noticed his presence, and specially asked someone to find his body.

"Hey, Hu Gouzi also has hard bones," the jockey commanded He Zhifeng, who joined the army, to dismount and show the corpse on horseback to Zhou Pu, "Commander, you probably didn't think this was a big fish, right?" After the identity was confirmed, it was indeed Tong Huacheng, the supervisor of Yanhuxi Temple, who was listed as a first-class war criminal by the military department, but unfortunately he did not catch it; I didn't expect him to have some backbone, and he was bent on death......"

Tong Huacheng, who is in charge of the West Temple Supervisor, has always been a person who gives Jiang Ning a headache, but he didn't expect him to appear on the Fenghe battlefield. However, it is also relieved to think about it, after the sea defense line was torn apart, the Xisi Supervisor stationed in Dengzhou has actually lost its role, and Tong Huacheng, who is quite familiar with the situation in Jiangning, does not go to Linzi with Nahe Xiongqi, and it is not difficult to understand that Fan Wenlan, who captured the prisoner in the early morning, recalled Ye Jiduodi to Yanjing......

At this time, a number of fast horses galloped and dismounted when they came closer: "The military headquarters ordered the first cavalry division to flee west of the Fenghe River and then break the enemy, and then join the Chu Zheng division to march west along the Chaobai River, attack the enemy of Weihuiqiao in the west, and enter the Chaoyangmen ......"

He Zhifeng said: "Hu Gouzi may have abandoned Yanjing and fled westward, we don't chase after the horse, what are we doing to attack the Weihe Bridge slowly?" ”

"Chasing, how to chase?" Zhou Pu whipped and made a gesture to draw He Zhifeng, telling him not to open his mouth and talk nonsense, and took the order letter from the military headquarters, and the ghost deputy signed a receipt for the herald to take it back.

The jockey moved the fastest, but the Gongcha battalion and the sailor fell behind, and the other infantry brigades also lagged behind, and the Xinzi battalion crossed the Wei River to the west, and there was no way to cross it quickly.

If the jockey wants to approach the city of Yanjing as soon as possible, he must take the Weihui Bridge to cross the Wei River.

Although it can be expected that Hu Lu in Yanjing will probably abandon the city and flee west immediately after learning that his left flank soldiers and horses have been completely annihilated at Fenghe, but considering that Hu Lu is in Yanjing City and the right flank, there are still 30,000 horse infantry, and the cavalry can not be too careless to make a rapid assault on Yanjing.

On the other hand, the military department preferred that the Hulu in Yanjing would withdraw to the southwest and flee to Taiyuan, rather than pressing all the way and intercepting the road halfway to force him to flee in the direction of Datong - if the Hulu in Yanjing fled in the direction of Datong, it would be more troublesome for the Huaidong Army to pursue the remnants of the enemy behind; And in the direction of fleeing southwest to Taiyuan, there was an ambush of Wei Zhonglong's independent town division of Taihang Mountain.

Zhou Pu looked at the battlefield, the battle was nearing the end, in addition to leaving two battalions of cavalry to comb the battlefield, he ordered the other soldiers and horses to immediately assemble in the direction of the Xinzi camp on the north flank to rest, and prepare to continue to advance westward in the afternoon......

************

The Jade Concubine sat down in front of the bed, looking at the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny who did not know life and death.

Yezir poured ginseng soup every day to hang himself, and although he did not wake up, his face was as pale as before, but the situation did not seem to get worse.

The palace has been in chaos since noon, and it is rumored that the Huaidong army has recently reached thirty miles east of the city.

The elite of the 60,000 Beijing battalions, including nearly 20,000 children of Donghu nobles who were not afraid of tigers, actually called the Huaidong army so devastating and decaying, and only a few hundred remnants of the defeated soldiers fled into Yanjing City one after another before noon, which made the generals and defenders who remained in Yanjing City completely lose the will to resist, and they were preparing to flee west in a panic.

Yanjing City is also in chaos, Concubine Yu was in the palace, and she saw several black smoke rushing up to the sky around her, thinking that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to stir up wind and waves, and take advantage of the fire to rob.

The maid of the inner chamber was in a hurry in the outer hall, moving out the important things in the palace - but what else could be important at this time? Concubine Yu thought confusedly.

At this time, there was a sound of a piece of armor striking, and before anyone came in, he heard Ye Ji Duodi ask the imperial doctor waiting in the outer hall in a hoarse voice: "There may not be a road out of the city, and the chariot can't go, change the car, can the emperor's body support the bumps on the road?" What additional preparations are needed here at the Imperial Medical Bureau, you all think about it seriously, if there is any basket on the way, be careful of the skull on your neck. ”

Concubine Yu stood up with her hands on the ground, she had not slept and eaten for more than ten days, her body was also extremely weak, her face was as white as snow, she couldn't see bloodshots, and she became more and more transparent and bright, watching Ye Ji Duodi, Fuqu Mengye, Zhang Xie and other princes and ministers walk in.

Zhang Xie was flustered, walked in and stumbled on the high threshold, almost a dog ate and fell to the ground, his robe was scattered, and he didn't wear a ribbon, losing his demeanor as a minister - but at this time, everyone was a dog in the water, and he didn't want to laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps, but he hoped that his movements would be faster, and he would escape from Yanjing City one step earlier before the Huaidong army soldiers and horses rushed to join the siege.

Ye Ji Duodi's cheeks sank deeply, his eyes were bloodshot, and he commanded the palace maid to move the unconscious Emperor of Heavenly Destiny to the soft couch and carry him out; Concubine Yu couldn't help, so she could only help lift up the hanging spun sheet and follow her out.

There was a cry outside the hall, begging to go with the army, but the jailers ruthlessly stopped them on the periphery.

The Huaidong Army was only thirty or fifty miles away from Yanjing City, and the cavalry quickly raised their horses and whips, and it took half a day to arrive. The 60,000 cavalry is also called the annihilation of the Huaidong Army, and no one expects the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Weihuiqiao to desperately hold off the Huaidong Army for how long.

In such a hurry, most of the people in this palace will be abandoned, and they will not be able to flee west with the army.

The march speed of the Huaidong army was extremely fast, they could only fight for half a day at most, if the old, weak, sick, disabled, women, children, eunuchs, all followed the city and fled westward, the final result was that no one could escape.

Those palace maids, guards, and concubines who were old and weak, childless, and even had been sent into the cold palace before, were also discarded in one piece. These individuals are full of great fear for the future, thinking that although it is bitter to flee west, they always have someone to rely on, and they hug to the Qian'an Palace to cry together, but they can't make Ye Ji Duodi and others shake in the slightest.

There was a carriage in front of the palace, hundreds of escorts and guards were also ready to go, the palace maids sent the Emperor of Heaven into the car with a soft couch, and the jade concubine had no intention of packing her personal bags, and then got into the car, lifted the curtain and looked at Ye Ji Duodi, hoping to take away these personal envoys.

At this time, Concubine Yu knew that the Queen Mother had already gone on the road first, but after being hit by the fiasco of Fenghe, the Queen Mother completely entrusted the affairs of state affairs to Ye Jiduodi before noon - but at this time, everyone fled for their lives in a hurry, how could there be any national affairs to speak of? The so-called national politics is nothing more than a pile of rotten messes, unless some miracle comes, otherwise it is impossible for anyone to make the situation a little better.

Ye Jiduodi's face was pale, and when he saw the sad eyes of the jade concubine looking over, he couldn't bear it, waved his hand to let these palace maids get into the car, and looked at the east worriedly - no one knew how long Wei Huiqiao's soldiers and horses could hold it, Wei Huiqiao came over, and it was only thirty miles outside Chaoyang Gate, and they didn't have more soldiers to defend in these thirty miles, delaying the pace of the Huaidong Army's westward advance.

Nominally, he still has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but the 60,000 elites have completely annihilated the Huaidong Army in more than two days, so what can these 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers in his hands be worth? Ye Ji Duodi only imagined that when the Huaidong army chased after him, these 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers would be able to flee without falling into the wilderness.

Even if they could only delay the pace of the Huaidong Army's pursuit slightly, Ye Ji Duodi did not dare to consume it at one time, from Yanjing to Taiyuan, there were still nearly thousands of miles to go, and he needed to throw these miscellaneous soldiers on the back road in batches.

In the final analysis, the battle of Fenghe was too bad.

Not only were the 30,000 elite cavalry he brought back from Jinan all buried, but the children of the nobles who could fight across the horses and the enslaved companions of the various families also died......

Not only can the people in the palace not be taken away, but the old and weak women and children in Yanjing City must be ruthlessly abandoned, and if they are a little soft-hearted, the final result will be that none of them can escape.

Ye Jiduodi hated in his heart: Why did he delay until this time to see that the reality was so cruel, if he resolutely gave up Yanjing when the Dengzhou Naval Division was destroyed...... Even after the fall of Jinhai, it was decided to abandon Yanjing and retreat westward, which was far from being so embarrassing.

The battle of Fenghe was not a matter of 60,000 soldiers and horses killed or wounded, but the backbone of the entire Dayan was broken! It's all the spiritual energy that has been extinguished!

Ye Ji Duodi only felt a burst of colic in his heart, and he insisted not to faint, and waved the car to ask the jailer to escort the emperor's car out of the city first - at this time, he didn't even have the ability to send enough troops to escort the emperor's car, so he had to deceive the queen mother first, in fact, he had the intention of exploring the road with the queen mother, who knows if those bandits in Taihang Mountain would jump out coldly and intercept the road?

"Three kings, the old minister thinks he should go to Datong!" Zhang Xie pinched his unkempt white beard and gritted his teeth and said.

"......" Ye Jiduodi shook his head, although it seemed safer to flee to Datong at this time, Datong's soldiers and horses had been evacuated, and the Huaidong army could chase after them tightly, and they would not have a chance to breathe along the way. Only by going south, maybe there is a chance to go to Taiyuan, they will have the opportunity to retreat to Guanzhong after joining up with the soldiers and horses of Henan and Shandong, and Dayan will have the opportunity to retain the last line of vitality......

Even if the Taihang bandits will intercept the road, they may not be able to go directly to Taiyuan, but they can also escape to Jinnan through Hebi and the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, and then go to Guanzhong from Jinnan to join the soldiers and horses of Shandong and Henan.

**************

There were jailers to open the way, and the carriages and horses quickly passed through Yanjing City, which was in chaos, and went out of the city from Taiqimen, and walked on the gallop road to Zhending Mansion.

Concubine Yu was also haggard, and after leaving the city, she sat in the car and fell asleep in a daze, and she didn't know how long it took, and when she woke up, there was a clear light in the gap in the car curtain, and she didn't want to sleep in the car until dawn the next day.

Concubine Yu lifted the curtain of the car, letting the clear morning light shine through, and she didn't know where to go, thinking that this night's work, leaving Yanjing and walking out of a hundred miles should be there; I don't know if the Huaidong Army has Yanjing City at this time, and I don't know what fate awaits those who have no chance to escape in Yanjing City-Concubine Yu was thinking wildly, only to feel that her ankles were grabbed by a thin thing like a withered claw, she was startled, and then thought that the emperor was awake, and said happily: "The emperor is awake!" ”

In the clear morning light, Yezier opened her eyes weakly, and seemed to wake up when she was distracted.

Yezir could feel it in the car, and asked weakly, "Where are we fleeing to?" ”
