Chapter 18: The Role of Salted Fish
looked at the more than 1,000 people who came back from throwing away their armor, and they also looked incredulous.
When he set off, more than 10,000 people, full of spirit, rushed to be the first to attack the Desheng Gate of the Warat hero, who thought that just more than half an hour of kung fu, became a bunch of chickens and tile dogs.
It was not unprepared, he led the army here in order to change the offensive route at any time.
His wishful thinking was to let Polo's 30,000 horses find out the situation first, and if the Ming army of Deshengmen was ready, he would immediately attack him, and if Deshengmen had an opportunity, he would lead the army to attack Yu Qian.
But he didn't expect that the Ming army would be so bold.
In the case of the loss of all the elites of the civil fort, he actually dared to take the initiative to attack and ambush.
I also thought that Xizhimen was just an accident, but it turned out that it was a wrong idea, the commanders and commanders of the Ming army were a bunch of crazy people!
The front army was defeated, and it would not be good to attack again, and I knew first that at this time, Yu Qian must be waiting for him to send his head at Deshengmen.
The Ming army was fully prepared, and their morale was demoralized, and they needed to fight again on another day.
He also glanced at the Ming army array under the black pressure of Deshengmen with hatred, took the reins of the horse and turned around, and said coldly: "Blow the horn, the army retreats!" ”
No one will feel good if they lose 10,000 elite cavalry.
What's more, Polo is his own brother, and bringing these 10,000 cavalry is also a descendant of Yexian, and he has to think about whether this defeat will affect the loyalty of the chiefs of the various departments to him.
He knew that the various tribes of Warat seemed to be united, and this was only because he was strong, but because his own tribes were more than all of them combined!
With a loss of 10,000 cavalry, if you can't defeat this Beijing city, you will lose face when you go back!
"Yu Qian, let's see!"
Warat retreated.
Watching the firelight on the hillside in the distance gradually fade away, Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to fall down when he staggered.
Shi Heng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, laughing and said, "Yu Butang, you did it!" ”
"We did it, and the battle strategy was set by us together, and you have a share of the credit." After Yu Qian finished speaking, he turned around and shouted: "This time, the Shenji Battalion was disgraced and beheaded nearly 10,000 people!" ”
"The headquarters will go back and ask Your Majesty for credit for everyone!"
"Please don't slack off, Warat has not retreated yet, and the Jingshi still needs everyone to protect it!"
Everyone in the Shenji Camp shouted in unison: "Thank you, Lord Yu!" We are willing to die for the adults! ”
The heart of the army is like an arrow, tied to one person.
For some reason, there was a faint trace of worry on Yu Qian's smiling face.
Shi Heng looked at Yu Qian with some surprise.
Since ancient times, Wenchen has supervised the soldiers, and it is their credit if they win, and it is the responsibility of their generals to lose.
Yu Qian is different, he does not fight for merit, he does not grab merit.
is as unruly as Shi Heng, and at this moment he is also happy and convinced of Qian.
For Qian, he owes too much.
With this in mind, Shi Heng joined the ranks of the soldiers of the Ming army to celebrate.
The streets and alleys in the capital received the news of the victory, and the people walked out of their homes and saw the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion covered in blood, all of them were shocked and in awe.
Every soldier of the Shenji Battalion has a "dazzling" array of trophies hanging on his body.
In this battle, the Shenji Battalion used its strength to tell the entire Beijing City that they were still the legendary troops who had followed Emperor Taizongwen in a hundred battles.
They will carry the banner of their fathers and continue to fight.
Immortal, never-ending!
......
It was supposed to be a court meeting tomorrow morning, but it was held in advance at night.
Not for anything else, just because Yu Qian won an unprecedented victory in Deshengmen.
Zhu Di was woken up by Liu Ju at night, so he rushed directly to Xizhimen, and in the anxious waiting, he saw the fire in front of Desheng Gate.
When Zhu Di arrived at Deshengmen, the battle was over.
The Warat people are menacing, who would have thought that they would come quickly and retreat faster!
In this battle, Polo made a great mistake, he originally had 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry in his hands, and he had a great advantage.
But in order to compete for merit, he led the cavalry to plunge into the trap set by the Shenji battalion, and the Shenji battalion also lived up to expectations, and quickly resolved the battle before the follow-up Warat infantry arrived.
The Ming army suffered only a few hundred casualties, but almost wiped out 10,000 Wara elite cavalry at Deshengmen, and even his younger brother Polo was killed on the spot by a soldier from the Shenji Battalion.
This is a victory that will go down in history!
Zhu Di turned his head, glanced at the empty roller shutter, and said to the ministers in the Fengtian Palace: "This time, Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, has made a great contribution, and I intend to promote him to the official secretary of the military department, plus the crown prince Shaobao, and the governor of Gyeonggi military affairs. ”
"What do you think?"
While the ministers were rejoicing, they also found that today was different.
Although it was not a formal court meeting, it stands to reason that Empress Dowager Sun should also be present.
The queen mother who listened to the government did not show up, does this mean that she intends to return the government?
The ministers talked a lot, but they didn't take the lead in speaking.
Everyone knows that the first one to stand up and speak will be labeled as the new monarch and his party, in case the emperor comes back later, this is not a good thing.
No one of them said anything, not all because they were dissatisfied with Qian's reward, but the main reason was that they saw Zhu Di's seemingly ordinary, but unusual question.
Facing this group of people, Zhu Di was not in a hurry, so he waited quietly.
Waiting for Sun Ruowei?
Wait, she won't be here tonight!
Zhu Di didn't believe that none of the Manchu civil and military dynasties were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to themselves.
......
At the same time, outside Renshou Palace.
A little eunuch anxiously came to report the war, wanting to rule Sun Ruowei to listen to the government, the courtiers and the emperor have all arrived, and if the queen mother does not appear again, I am afraid it will be bad.
"What are you going for?"
Unexpectedly, before he could enter the door of Renshou Palace, he was stopped by a person.
But it was a few small eunuchs who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping at night.
"Don't get in my way, Deshengmen is a big victory, and I want the Queen Mother to go to Fengtian Hall to discuss matters!"
"Who told you to come?"
Hearing this, the little eunuch was also very clever, and looked at it and said, "Your supervisor is still in charge of these things, who asked me to come What does it matter to you?" ”
"If you don't tell us, I won't let you in." The eunuchs in charge of the prison rolled up their sleeves one after another, and one of them shouted: "Come, drag him to the firewood room for me and tie him up." ”
"Don't let it out until dawn!"
"What are you going to do, I'm a man with a golden crotch!" After all, there were many people in the prison, and the little eunuch who came to report was dragged away within three or two clicks.
"We don't care which crotch person you are, today Lao Tzu will recognize the king of the Qing Palace!"
The steward of the department snorted coldly, turned his head to look at the pitch-black Renshou Palace, and said to himself: "Look down on us, we can't make you feel better." ”
"Keep an eye on me, and no one is allowed to go in tonight."
"Father-in-law, someone is here again!" A small eunuch from the superintendent shouted.
The sign of the superintendent rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, give it to me!" ”
