Chapter 8 Little Emperor, You're Still a Little Tender
More and more Warat cavalry rushed into the front camp, and the middle gate was blocked for a while.
Each Warat cavalry had the intention of beating the water dogs, scrambling to be the first, and at the same time fishing for some good things while reaping military merits.
Sure enough, in the front camp, the Warats found a lot of good things.
There were countless grains, dried meat, gunpowder, and even some alcohol, which were more precious to the Warats than real money, and the Warats looked like they were going to celebrate the New Year.
These are all things that the Ming army can't take away, and they are also ready to be destroyed, and they will never be left to the Warat people.
The big tent of the Chinese army is paying attention to the news of the front camp all the time.
When he heard that at least more than 5,000 cavalry had entered the front camp, Zhang Fu suddenly got up: "Your Majesty, the time has come." ”
Zhu Qizhen's anger that he had endured for a long time turned into a simple word at this moment: "Accurate." ”
In the camp of the Chinese army, the crossbowmen who had been hidden early were ready to go out of their nests.
At a distance of fifty paces from the front battalion, thousands of crossbowmen ignited, and they didn't even need to aim, they just needed to shoot the rockets as hard as they could.
Thousands of rockets rained down on the front camp.
The rocket hit the tent, and the tent immediately burned, and in an instant, the front camp was plunged into a sea of fire.
Gunpowder, wine, which was regarded as the trophy of war, became the best accelerant in an instant.
The Warat cavalry didn't even have time to react, and the explosions continued.
Zhu Qizhen sent all the gunpowder that could not be taken away to the front camp, and even asked someone to break a batch of swords last night and mix them into the powder keg to achieve the effect of fragmentation.
With a loud bang, countless fragments flew in all directions.
Before one of the Warats could react, the flying debris tore his face apart, and he covered his face and howled, "Eyes, my eyes." ”
There were hundreds of barrels of gunpowder, and for a while, it was like firecrackers during the New Year, crackling non-stop.
The Warat cavalry, who had just been excited, now turned pale one by one, leaving a huge shadow in their hearts.
Subconsciously, they wanted to pull out their bows and arrows.
But they looked around at a loss, and they didn't know where the enemy was.
The crossbowmen retreated early after a volley.
More people, some at a loss, dared to face the Ming army several times their size, and even dared to charge the Ming wall.
But in the face of the fires on all sides, the sound of explosions from time to time, and the billowing smoke, they had a sense of panic.
Fire was originally the protector of the grassland, but now it has become a talisman.
Even the bravest people can't help but be terrified when faced with such a scene.
The war horse was frightened, and the crazy war horse had begun to get out of control and galloped wildly.
These horses, which have become uncontrolled, were once a weapon of murder and a good comrade-in-arms of the Warats.
Now, however, it has become a source of even greater unrest.
The front gate was blocked, and the Ming army infantry in the middle camp relied on the horses to resist and the thistles resisted, but they couldn't get in, they couldn't retreat, and they cut off the last way to live.
The one who was wearing armor also looked at the front camp of the Ming army in a sea of fire not far away, with no expression on his face, but blood in his heart.
At the same time, Zhu Qizhen and the others in the big tent also smelled the smell of gunsmoke in the air.
The sound of artillery sounded that it meant that the battle of the front battalion had come to an end.
Fan Zhong came to report: "Your Majesty, the breakout soldiers and horses are fully prepared. ”
All the officials were silent.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and got up.
When Zhu Qizhen was about to leave the tent, Zhang Fu led people to bow down and cried: "Ministers, send off the Ming Emperor." ”
Zhu Qizhen turned his head and actually grinned: "Zhuqing, next."
It's all up to you.
Don't forget what I said, if I am really unlucky, then from today onwards, there will only be one unlucky guy surnamed Zhu outside the gate. ”
"Your ministers obey the holy commandment."
When Zhu Qizhen came out of the big tent, what entered his nose was a smell of blood that could not be dissipated.
A cavalry army has been waiting for a long time.
Among them, there are 3,000 battalions, cavalry of the five military battalions, cavalry of Jinyiwei, generals of the Han Dynasty, warriors of Jinwuwei, and more of them are the family members of the princes and uncles.
Jing Yuan took the initiative to lead Zhu Qizhen's horse.
After helping Zhu Qizhen get on the horse, Jing Yuan whispered under the horse: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will always accompany him." ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled: "Jingqing's family, don't be so pessimistic, if you are lucky, you can still come to your arms safely." ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Qizhen answered the question, but said softly: "We will only lose this time, just this time." ”
Finally, after looking at the big tent in the middle of the camp, Zhu Qizhen smiled heartily: "Zhang Fu, you, don't let me down." ”
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, waved his big hand, and the cavalry slowly walked out.
He who has been paying attention to the movement of the battlefield also knew in his heart that just now, he had lost at least nearly a thousand cavalry.
Fortunately, the loss was not large, and the source was not harmed.
At the same time, I also understood that the Ming army's combat strength still exists, and it is still a hard bone.
But it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to be trapped for a few more days, he wants to see if the Ming army can be so arrogant in a few days?
Just as he was preparing to withdraw from the siege, a cavalry army suddenly appeared in view.
The cavalry rushed to the north, and under the banners of various colors, the bright and yellow dragons were still dazzling.
There was dust along the way, and although it was not clear to see, the number of people was definitely indispensable.
Squint your eyes first, that's the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom?
Yes, those so-called horsemen and warriors are the pro-army of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and only the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom can command them.
What is the little emperor doing?
He's ...... Want to escape?
100,000 troops just left behind?
Tumubao is only thirty miles to the north, which is Huailai City.
I'm still not sure.
Zhu Qizhen was firmly protected in the middle by five thousand elite horses, and Jing Yuan didn't dare to stay away even half a step.
Five thousand elite horsemen quickly broke away from the civil fort and rushed towards Huailai City.
After traveling less than five miles, he met the 3,000-watt cavalry here.
Perhaps because he didn't expect the Ming army to break through, the entire cavalry army was actually arranged in a long snake formation, and the end could not be connected.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Warat people had not yet reacted, Jing Yuan seized the opportunity and personally led a thousand families to open the way, using two pillars of incense to cut through the formation, killing all the way, except for the corpse or the corpse.
Among them, there are Ming soldiers and Warat people.
The Warats were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties for a while.
The breakthrough was so fast that Jean and his subordinates did not expect it.
Boyan Timur whispered: "Taishi, it seems that this is probably the main force of the Ming army's cavalry." ”
Otherwise, the cavalry in the north would not have been defeated so quickly.
At this moment, the northern rangers came to report that the Ming army of Huailai City suddenly left the city and rushed towards Tumubao, with a large number of tens of thousands of people.
This news is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for Yexian.
It seems that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom abandoned all the foot soldiers and led the cavalry army to break through the siege, wanting to join the Ming army in Huailai City.
Little Emperor, you're still a little tender.
