The second day. The Longyou cavalry attacked again. Experienced yesterday's Chan "Be careful." The Dongjun army seems to be much more familiar, the battlefield is the real training ground, although the number of the Dongjun army holding fire dumplings has decreased a lot, it is helpless. Only the density of the phalanx on the left and right flanks was reduced, and a column of indignant Aidong legion soldiers held the fire mirror steadily, and began to shoot in turn after the Longyou cavalry entered the firing range, and the Longyou cavalry also suffered heavy losses yesterday, and today's morale has decreased a lot.

But the nightmare is not over, and the cavalry are faced with the trenches and horses that the Eastern Army hastily dug last night. Bang bang, although these simple fortifications were built in a hurry after all, Cai still delayed the attack of the Longyou cavalry.

"Spear." The phalanx of the Ming army roared, and a column of fire mirrors retreated to the rear, and the soldiers of the loyal battalion were in pairs, holding spears several meters long and pointing straight ahead, the spears were not dense, but at this moment, it was also the best way to resist the impact of the cavalry.

"Bang bang bang," the cavalry who had been lucky enough to cross the fortifications finally crashed into the sparse long one by one

Above.

"Kill." The fierce battle officially began, and after the trenches, horses, and spears blocked the impact of the cavalry, the remaining impact of the cavalry was reduced to a minimum, and finally, the two sides fought together again and again".

In the tax shop, a group of wounded soldiers began to transfer, including Li Laixiang, who fell into a coma, after Li Laiheng fell into a coma, the officers of each battalion had a discussion, and everyone thought that it was impossible to hold the tax shop defense line, since this was the case, then some auxiliary combat personnel and the wounded must be transferred in time, as for the others, the officers drew out their command swords in the big tent where the candle flame flickered, and their faces that still had some childish spirit were full of determination, and the royal martial arts hall taught them too much knowledge, Instilled in them all the virtues of soldiers, their eyes were full of determination, and at last the swords touched each other, and everyone shouted in their tents: "All for His Majesty the Emperor, long live." ”

The officers went to the battlefield with the determination to die, and they faced wave after wave of onslaught from the Qing army, and every drop of blood they shed would delay the most precious moment for the rear, and then. They stained their blood on this loess and slept here.

"Long live the Ming Dynasty." The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield, the heavy blood did not extinguish the fierce fighting spirit, and the emotions of the officers drove those soldiers of the Diedong Army who were full of hatred, perhaps in the past. They still have some disgust with the term Daming, and they are still quite disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, but at this moment, in these officers who are full of ideals and fighting spirit, they are also infected, and many people invariably echo in the corners of the battlefield.

The losses of the Longyou cavalry in the early stage were extremely heavy. Daniel Zhang is almost going crazy, this is already his bottom line, if Wang Fuchen does not make any more moves, let his Longyou cavalry to send him to death, I am afraid that Daniel Zhang will withdraw his troops and settle accounts with Wang Fuchen even if he is in a catastrophe. Finally, with the sound of a horn, the Pingliang cavalry, who had been resting for a day, put out a charging formation, and as the horn became more and more urgent, the dense cavalry finally moved, like a wind and clouds, with the sound of the galloping hooves of thousands of horses to charge in the direction of the battlefield.

In Fengyang City, an urgent report was sent to Zhu Jun's imperial case, Zhu Jun frowned deeply, and couldn't help but scold viciously that did not match his usual graceful bearing: "Bastard." ”

On Zhu Jun's left side, Li Dingguo and Wang Qiu sat leaning over. looked straight at the emperor with his eyes, I don't know what the emperor is angry for, although the emperor occasionally laughs and scolds a few words, but it is rare to scold people so viciously, but the worries of the two were quickly eliminated. Zhu Jun's face slowly warmed up, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he has been an emperor for twelve years, Zhu Jun has already cultivated a face that is indistinguishable from joy and anger, if it weren't for this urgent report, he wouldn't be so out of shape.

Zhu Jun calmed down, on the battlefield, what kind of surprise information will not be there? The top priority is how to remedy it, otherwise it will be 10,000 sentences. The capricious Wang Fuchen will not be scolded to death. He turned his head to the side and said to the two military giants who had come to the emergency call: "Things are getting a little complicated. Wang Fuchen's surrender was fake, and 60,000 northwest cavalry had already arrived in Taihe. ”

Li Dingguo's face did not have many waves. He has seen a lot of this kind of thing, the war is originally changing rapidly, how can it be smooth sailing, his mind is naturally not immersed in calm, and the various troop deployments of the entire battle have already appeared in his mind, and the newly joined Northwest Cavalry. And how to deal with it.

Wang Qiu was different, and blurted out a scolding voice, and when he realized that this was the palace. And the emperor was still sitting in front of him, and he immediately closed his mouth, and his face was eager to try.

Zhu Jun leaned on the back cushion of the chair and held his chin: "Li Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the Haodong Legion is in Taihe, but according to Weichen, I am afraid that the Biandong Legion will not be able to delay for a long time if it faces the Northwest Elite Cavalry. ”

Zhu Jun nodded, and supported the imperial case to stand up: "Yes, this is the key." The Northwest Cavalry had two options, and they could go up to Qimei Mountain. Attack the belly and back of my army, and you can raid Fengyang. In order to outflank the back road, according to Li Aiqing. If you are Wang Fuchen, how should you choose? ”

Li Dingguo smiled bitterly: "Weichen will not be Wang Fuchen's until he dies, no matter what Fengxin says, our army's belly and back are outflanking." For the king and the ministers, they all have the right to be extremely doggy. But according to Weichen, I am afraid that Wang Fuchen will most likely lead his troops to the east and point directly at Fengyang. He paused and continued to explain: "After all, there is an emperor here in Fengyang City, if you can besiege or capture Fengyang, it will not only make the morale of the Ming army on the front line low, but it will also be a great merit for Wang Fuchen, how can it be compared to breaking a large army?" What's more, Fengyang is now the rear of the front line, and the grain, grass and ordnance are all piled up here, once it is taken here, it will be equivalent to cutting off the supply of the front line and the back road of the Qimeishan army. Wang Fuchen is sinister and cunning, and he must be able to see this, so Weichen thinks. Wang Fuchen's goal is Fengyang. ”

Zhu Jun smiled: "Da Ming doesn't know how many fleets are docked along the coast, and the supply of grain and grass must be safe without the land route of Fengyang." Fengyang's city wall is strong, and there are guards regiments to garrison here, presumably those Manchurian doglegs in the northwest want to break the city is not so easy, but once Fengyang is besieged, the Qing soldiers besieging the city block Fengyang's contact with the outside world, I am afraid that for the front line of the legions, it is tantamount to a heavy psychological blow. Zhu Jun slowly analyzed the various assumptions of the Qing army besieging Fengyang, and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to take the Guards Legion out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and Wang Qiu puffed up his chest. Said with a big grin.

Zhu Jun smiled and waved his hand: "Decisive battle? Fengyang City is tall and wide, and the long-range strike ability of the Guards Legion is probably unparalleled in the world, but it goes out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the cavalry? ”

Li Dingguo also nodded: "Weichen thinks." Relying on the city to refuse to defend is the right way, the most troublesome thing is that if Wang Fuchen surrounds but does not fight, cut off the scouts sent by the city to spread the message, and then someone spreads rumors around, I am afraid that it will disturb the morale of the army on the front line of Qimei Mountain. If the governors of the legions know that the emperor is trapped. I have lost the coordination and command of the General Staff, and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold back and come back to rescue the driver, so I am afraid that the original deployment will be."

Zhu Jun stood up, still holding the imperial case with one hand: "This is what Lian is most worried about, his eyes are shining." said that he was worried, but he didn't have a sad face at all. Fingers couldn't help but knock on the imperial case: "Lian has an idea."

The tax shop was already a mess, countless corpses were overlapped, and the coagulated blood seemed to have become graffiti everywhere, and the cold wind was bitter; The victorious Qing army began to gather, and according to the order of Wang Fuchen, in order to hurry, everyone must not rest and continue to advance.

When Wang Jizhen, who looked puzzled, asked in which direction to go, Wang Fuchen smiled at the corner of his mouth: "To the east, Fengyang City."

"Father Wang Jizhen has learned a lot of things these days, just now, he also personally led a team of guards to kill a Ming soldier. His face was obviously a lot more stable, at least now he seemed to be that killing people was not a very interesting thing: "Wouldn't it be better to go to Qimei Mountain to destroy the main force of the thief army in one fell swoop?" Earlier rendezvous with the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners. ”

Wang Fuchen smiled slightly, but the smile was unpredictable: "Capture the thief and capture the king first." ”

Wang Jizhen didn't dare to ask anymore, since his father had made up his mind, he naturally couldn't influence it.

Wang Fuchen saw his son's disappointed face, and couldn't help but be interested, at this moment he was in high spirits, and his gloomy face on weekdays eased a lot, and he slowly explained: "Zhen'er, if you go to Qimei Mountain." Even if it is a sudden attack on the back of the Ming army from the back of the abdomen in one fell swoop. How much credit can we get? ”

Wang Jizhen is not a fool, Wang Fuchen lightly, he immediately understood: "Our Pingliang army raided the back of the Ming army, those Eight Banners soldiers saw the opportunity to naturally cover up and kill head-on, after all, we are Han people, how can the Manchurians let us make this contribution." Maybe we'll cooperate with the Eight Banners this time. It's to make a wedding dress for others, my father means, let's fight with the Eight Banners, they go to drag the Ming army in Qimei Mountain, let's directly outflank the back road of the Ming army, if you can capture the thief in one fell swoop, this immortal achievement, I'm afraid no one can take it away, father, I don't know if what I said is right? ”

Wang Fuchen smiled lightly: "That's right." Outflanking Fengyang may be more dangerous, but there is a reason that you need to be stunned to understand, wealth and wealth are in danger, and taking this risk for your father is also to lay the foundation for you, I only hope that the descendants of our Wang family can rely on the shadow of their father and do not need to seek wealth and nobility in danger. ”

Wang Jizhen hurriedly lowered his head: "My son understands."

At this time, the battalions had been assembled, and it was still the hapless Daniel Zhang who led the Longyou cavalry as the vanguard. The other battalions roared and shuttled, and the winding line stretched beyond the horizon, Wang Fuchen shook his spirits and tightened the reins of his horse: "Let's go."

Forty or fifty thousand cavalry directly bypassed Taihe City, and now there is only one mountain battalion stationed in Taihe City, and the rest are wounded soldiers transferred back from the front line. Many people can only stand on the head of the city and look at the cavalry team under the city with a sad and angry face, even if they open the city gate and go out to pursue, with these foot soldiers in the city, I am afraid that they will not even be able to stand on the side.

Two years later, the Qing army finally appeared under Fengyang City, and Fengyang City naturally received the news a long time ago. The four gates were closed, and one by one the fire commanders stood behind the battlements on the city wall, and the additional forts? , The new artillery is also loaded with explosives, as long as the Qing army dares to attack the city, Wang Qiu, who is deployed in the urn city to defend the city, is ready to give the order to counterattack at any time.

The Qing army naturally knew that the Ming army's firearms were powerful, but they didn't dare to get too close, and camped ten miles outside the city. He's not an idiot, go with cavalry

Cong'e is simply sent to death. However, a large number of artillery in the rear can be here, as long as it is handed over, it is small. He had a good chance to talk about the artillery. I am afraid that the Ming army in the city is going to be angry, when Wang Fuchen faked surrender, asked the Ming army for a batch of artillery to increase the defense of Pingliang City, in order to block the Longyou cavalry who planned to go west, the Ming side was refreshing, and immediately transferred a hundred old-style artillery, who knew that Wang Fuchen turned his face faster than turning a book. Now these cannons cast by Fu Ming are probably going to be used to capture Fengyang City soon.

Wang Fuchen's temporary order was to surround but not fight. first blockaded the entire Fengyang City, and then sent people to spread rumors everywhere in order to break the morale of the Ming army on the northern front.

Daniel Zhang, who had been holding back for a few days, also cheered up, although Wang Fuchen gave him a lot of small shoes, but now surrounded Fengyang, for him, it was a good time to make meritorious service, as for the grudge with Wang Fuchen, he was temporarily put aside, and Wang Fuchen was very angry. Daniel Zhang was also much more polite at this time, the Longyou cavalry is now more than half damaged, there is no longer much threat to Wang Fuchen, in this case, there is no need to weaken it anymore, now it is mainly to woo, as for the effect of wooing, I am afraid only God knows.

Wang Fuchen and Daniel Zhang took the generals from the northwest to "be happy and harmonious, riding horses on a small slope seven or eight miles outside the city to watch the deployment of troops in the city, Wang Fuchen smiled, pointed to the dragon flag on the head of the city and turned his head to Daniel Zhang: "The Daming Emperor is in the city, as long as he can ascend the city, it will be an unstoppable achievement, our Han military banner has not hurt my grandmother over the years, my uncle does not love, now it is time to raise my eyebrows and exhale, Lord Zhang, it was the old man's wrong a few days ago, we are now a thread of ants." To this day, presumably Master Zhang is not comparable, let's work together to break the city in one fell swoop, and it is only a matter of time before the territory is closed and worshiped by the king.

Wang Fuchen said this time is extremely humble, a few days ago he also called himself the commander, now he calls himself an old man, and in his words he faintly said that our Han army banner, in fact, is just to get closer, Wang Fuchen was originally a two-faced and three-sword person, when he wanted to weaken the Longyou cavalry before, he commanded Daniel Zhang, but now that the elite of the Longyou cavalry is exhausted, Wang Fuchen naturally has no need to get along with Daniel Zhang. In the final analysis, Daniel Zhang's relationship with people is the main reason, and Wang Fuchen relies entirely on the choice of interests, and because of this, yesterday he also reversed his purpose. people, Wang Fuchen can put on a harmonious appearance at this time.

Daniel Zhang was angry in his heart, but Wang Fuchen was the boss after all, at this moment he put down the shelf, Daniel Zhang could only sigh, but said in his heart, anyway, his Longyou cavalry would not be the vanguard of Kaesong, and the surname Wang had watched the excitement for so long, it should always be his Guan Ning army who appeared.

Wang Fuchen stroked his beard and felt a burst of excitement in his heart: "That new child has been lying on his stomach and has been dormant for more than ten years. Now I can't imagine being surrounded by us. Hehe, I don't know what the mood of the new child is? ”

Qi Meishan, a message began to spread. The news came from the south, and this news made the originally noisy battalion even more gloomy, and the officers and men suddenly lost their spirits, and asked everywhere for news, and some merchants from the south were also questioned, but everyone answered the same thing

His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded in Fengyang, and fifty or sixty thousand Qing troops suddenly appeared under Fengyang City.

Subsequently, all kinds of news circulated, some said that Fengyang had been broken and His Majesty the Emperor was missing, and some said that the Emperor had broken through, but whether it was good news or bad news, at least one thing was certain, His Majesty the Emperor was in danger, and now there was no news at all, and even the deployment order of the General Staff had not been transmitted. The soldiers sent back to spy have not returned.

"Help, defend His Majesty the Emperor's camp This emotion continues to spread to everyone's hearts, the soldiers are no longer in the mood to fight, His Majesty the Emperor is in danger, even if it is to eliminate the main force of Manchuria, what is the point? Many people began to panic, the call for petitions grew louder, and the middle and lower ranks of officers also supported the petitions of the soldiers, and some wrote bloody letters. Asking the governor to return to the division, below are countless fingerprints densely laid with blood, this panic was planted when the recruits were trained, and in the minds of all the officers and soldiers, His Majesty the Emperor is everything. Without His Majesty the Emperor, nothing is meaningless.

After a day, the soldiers began to be angry, His Majesty the Emperor was in danger, why didn't the governor give the order to return to the division? What did the Governor have in mind? Don't they support His Majesty the Emperor? Although in normal times, everyone is full of admiration for these governors, but at this moment, the three governors are just huddled in the big tent and secretly discuss something, which has chilled the soldiers, countless soldiers have surrounded the whole big tent, there is a danger of mutiny at any time, some officers are also involved, they are angry to ask for a talk, if these governors are usually respected, I am afraid they will be tied up by the soldiers.

The guards guarding the big tent looked nervous one by one, and they saw more and more crowds of people rushing over, saying a sharp word, and in their hearts they also supported the soldiers' petition, His Majesty the Emperor was above everything, above the mountains, and above the rivers. They hoped that the Governor would give the order to rescue them, but they were also tasked with protecting the Governor, which made them very uncomfortable. They had the most contact with the Governor, and they understood that the Governor was by no means a person who abandoned His Majesty the Emperor, but what could they do now?
