Early the next morning, as the rising sun, outside Tingzhou City, about three or four miles away, a Ming army walked out of the mountain road, everyone looked tired, embarrassed dressed, looking very sloppy, Zhu Yujian was impressively located in it, relatively speaking, the situation was just better.

In a relatively flat area, as the Ming army gathered more and more, after a little rest, some soldiers began to complain and complain quietly.

"Hmm... What is the way this is? This road is too difficult to walk, not to mention the twists and turns, it is still full of thorns everywhere, the cliffs are everywhere, if you are not careful, you may fall into the canyon, fall into pieces, and end up with a catastrophe, and your life is not guaranteed! ”

"It's just that, I don't know which bastard led the way, and came up with a bad idea to pick these bumpy roads to march? If you don't take a good official road, you have to take these inaccessible paths, it's really full! ”

"Come on! You know that you are satisfied, if you take those big roads, it is estimated that you have not gone far, and you will be discovered by the Dashun army and catch up. When the time comes, your life will be gone, and you still have this leisure to complain. Although the road was a little more difficult to walk, and it took almost two to three times as long as before, it was worth it and much safer. ”

......

At this time, Zhu Yujian had already stepped off the flatbed carriage that was hauling books, and his face was full of exhaustion, Zhou Zhifan was on the side, and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, let's take a little rest, and continue to move forward, Tingzhou City is not far from here, only when you enter Tingzhou City, can you rest assured for a day or two." ”

"Lord Zhou, don't worry, for me, such a little hardship is nothing, at least I can eat and drink enough, I understand the priorities, and I know that if there is no delay, the Dashun army may catch up at any time."

When he said these words, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but think of when he was a child, he almost grew up in prison, and he often starved and froze.

Seeing that the carriage that the queen and others were riding finally walked out of the mountain road, Zhu Yujian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, especially the queen Zeng had already gotten off the carriage and was walking, less than thirty meters away from him, so he stopped reminiscing, and couldn't help shouting: "Queen, hurry back to the carriage, we are going to hurry up soon, continue to ......"

"Kill......"

With a rumbling horse's hooves, the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded, interrupting Zhu Yujian's words, causing the latter to be startled and secretly screamed: "Not good!" ”

"General Xiong, quickly protect the emperor and leave, this official will go to rescue the queen, let's meet at the Guandi Temple outside Tingzhou City!"

Zhu Yujian was not allowed to react more, and at the same time as Zhou Zhifan greeted Xiong Weidu, the whole person had already rushed out, like a cheetah hunting, and went straight to the queen Zeng.

Now in an emergency, with many years of battlefield experience, Xiong Weidu immediately reacted, and reacted, seeing that the Dashun army was not far away, he did not hesitate any longer, no matter that Zhu Yujian wanted to fight with a knife, his actions were a little rude, and he ran away with this Longwu Emperor, under the escort of the soldiers.

When Zhu Yujian was the most down, when the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, he could still follow Zhu Yujian, which is enough to show the loyalty of the remaining Ming army, they may not all be brave and warlike elites, but they have a heart of death, and are willing to die for Zhu Yujian!

The heart of a child is enough to make people feel awe.

For a time, except for a few hundred people to cover Zhu Yujian and the empress Zeng's escape, the rest of the Ming army all fought with the Dashun army, with the determination to die, coupled with the terrain, the road was narrow, but it blocked the attack of the Dashun army.

In an instant, the melee reached a white-hot level, and it was difficult to solve!

"Brothers, kill, the time has come to be loyal to the country, as long as the emperor and they can evacuate safely, even if we all die in battle, so what?"

More than 1,000 Ming troops met the Dashun army one after another, blocking the entire road to death, making the Dashun army almost take a step forward, and all of them were blocked in a defense line they built with flesh and blood.

In this situation, how tragic is the scene?

At this moment, Niu Yan was at the rear of the army, quietly watching this scene, his brows were furrowed, his expression was a little gloomy, and seeing that the two sides were still in a state of stalemate and stalemate, he immediately felt a horizontal in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "Since you are looking for death, then I will fulfill you!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Niu Yan looked to the side behind him and ordered: "Come on, the Tiger Squat Artillery Squad listens to the order and gives me the strength to bombard the camp slightly behind the Ming army, I want to see how many lives they have!" ”

Bang bang bang ...

Boom boom...

At the same time that all kinds of firearms were intertwined, the dense firepower caused the Ming army to fall into a large area, and even more tiger squat cannons were transferred up, and the shells were fired out in an instant and fell into the rear of the Ming army's charging troops.

The Dashun army stopped attacking, wave after wave, constantly using all kinds of firearms, strafing and bombing the Ming army that rushed up.

Looking at the Ming army who was not afraid of death, whether it was Niu Yan who was a lieutenant colonel, or other generals and soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, although he admired it very much, but no one was soft, and he was still pulling the trigger and harvesting the opponent's life.

The battle ended quickly and lasted less than twenty minutes.

With the last Ming soldier falling, the corpses of the Ming army have already piled up, almost blocking the road and making it difficult for cars and horses to travel.

Looking at this scene, without waiting for the adjutant general next to him to remind, Niu Yan had already ordered: "All the generals of the forward battalion listen to the order, all dismount, run forward, cross the corpse mountain in front, and pursue Emperor Longwu and his party for me!" ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

After the forward battalion put down the war horse, not long after leaving, he saw a soldier running over, stopped in front of Niu Yan, and saluted: "Report, I found many concubines of Emperor Longwu, and a prince who is not yet a month!" ”

There was almost no hesitation, and Niu Yan didn't raise his head, but responded calmly: "Why are you still stunned?" According to the usual practice, the emperor has always demanded that all these people be properly imprisoned and not allowed to be harmed in the slightest. ”

"Yes......"

Before the soldier finished speaking, Niu Yan seemed to think of something, and then added: "Also, if there is such a thing in the future, you just need to do things according to the rules, and you don't have to report everything to me." ”

At this time, looking at the departing figures of the soldiers, and looking at the mountains of corpses of the Ming army, Niu Yan couldn't help but move in his heart, and had a plan, and ordered: "While disposing of the corpses of the Ming army, pull off all their coats for me, remove the blood stains on them as much as possible, and if it is clear that it is not clean, smear the soil on it." ”

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

Although he was puzzled and didn't know what Niu Yan wanted to do, the deputy general still faithfully carried it out, and after agreeing, he took hundreds of people and began to pick off the coats on the corpses of the Ming army.
