Li Yan's third brother Li Mu was eager to save his brother, he only rested for less than a quarter of an hour, then set off with 3,000 cavalry, and handed over more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Henan prefect Sang Kaidi, the superintendent of the imperial history Chen Qianfu and He Bingbei Dao Yuan Shu.

These Henan officials went all the way from Henan to Jianghuai, but they followed the emperor all the way and were tireless and loyal.

After Li Mu and the others walked for half an hour, the three officials began to march again with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Because most of them are infantry, they can only run forward, but these more than 20,000 soldiers and horses can't run on their two legs as if they are filled with lead, and the horses and livestock are loaded, as well as food tents and other support materials......

More than an hour later, Li Mu caught up with Wang Chengen, a thousand brocade guards, at this time they were all tired divisions, and their speed was not fast.

Even on horseback, you can only walk more than 20 miles in an hour on average.

"Where's Your Majesty?" Li Mou said.

Wang Chengen said: "I think we are too slow, and we are already one step ahead with only five brocade guards and hundreds of households to escort us."

"We're too slow, it's still 100 miles away from Tianchang, drive-" Li Mou's anxious heart burned, but at this time he was already exhausted and panting, and he was still pumping his horsewhip.

"Drive!" Wang Chengen is also urging the war horse.

The 4,000 men and horses were all cavalry, and they rushed forward with great speed.

But this time they didn't go out of ten miles, Wang Chengen's horse sat down and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and died of despair.

This is the third time he has changed horses.

He is a big man, and it is definitely a sin for the war horse to drag him away, and he has exhausted three horses to death along the way.

War horses are spiritual and trained, and they know that their master is in a hurry, and as long as they whip the horse, they will keep running until they are tired to death, and they will never be lazy.

There was no way, Wang Chengen changed another horse and continued to hurry forward with Li Mu and others......

At this time, a small river appeared in front of Chongzhen's eyes, and the clear river water flowed slowly

Chongzhen couldn't help but wash his face, took a few more sips, and felt that it was extremely sweet, but it was much better than the Nongfu Spring in later generations.

After waiting by the river for 10 minutes, Lu Xiaofeng and others arrived one after another.

Several congenital masters, tired and sweaty, felt that the emperor's body was too fast, but this was the fourth time Chongzhen had waited for them.

There are still more than 40 miles away from Tianchang here, and the river in front of them is not too wide, a few people feel very refreshed after drinking water and washing their faces, and then dragonflies point to the water, and six figures fall to the other side of the river one after another, and then six phantoms disappear in the mountains and forests by the river......

On the battlefield north of the Great Wall of Heaven, the battle is in full swing.

The main general in the army was killed, the dragons were leaderless, and the 5,000 soldiers under Guo Hu were suddenly chaotic.

Ding Dexing commanded the men and horses to chase and kill the Ming army, and the martial arts masters who participated in the war at this time were not only Xia Suiliang, but also the savage, who also began to twist people's heads in the crowd, to live the addiction of killing.

The 5,000 soldiers were about to collapse and flee to the city, and Ding Dexing's men and horses were in hot pursuit.

"Oops!" Li Yan was so anxious that he slammed his fist on the wall bricks at the head of the city, "Guo Hu mistook me!"

"The general can't open the city at this time, otherwise, the thief army will kill in, and the city will be difficult to protect." The red lady reminded him.

"But if you don't open the city, you will never be able to watch these 5,000 soldiers be slaughtered by the thieves? How can you be worthy of Your Majesty......" Li Yanhu's eyes widened.

In Li Yan's sight, Ding Dexing's big knife had already cut off six or eight heads. Hu Deji's savage claws grabbed and injured more than a dozen retreating generals in a row, and twisted 5 heads stiffly. Xia Suiliang killed more people, and it was difficult to count.

At this time, the killing outside the city continued, and the heads of the Ming army were rolling, and the blood was flowing like a river, which was unbearable.

"Hold the city, and I'll go out to meet them!" Li Yan said with a heart.

"Generals, don't be righteous...... the red lady's face changed greatly.

"You don't have to persuade again!" Li Yan's strength also came up.

"If the general is lost, the red lady will never ......live alone," the red lady shouted behind Li Yan.

But Li Yan can't care about the love of his children anymore.

He didn't look back, he took 3,000 death squads, ordered people to open the city, and the tide was like a tide to kill out of the city.

At this time, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses defending the city in the city, and the red lady gathered them all, and ambushed 1,000 men and horses at each of the four city gates, leaving 6,000 people to defend the city.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Yan were all archers, and after leaving the city, they lined up to open the formation gate, and the soldiers who retreated were desperate and retreated into the city in a steady stream.

Ding Dexing's men and horses chased and killed, and these archers fired thousands of arrows in unison, and the arrows flowed like rain, and the thieves suddenly fell down.

After two rounds of arrow rain, Ding Dexing's men and horses were stopped by archers, and the momentum of the pursuit stalled.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Li Yan commanded the archers and quickly retreated to the city.

"Rush! Take the city in one fell swoop, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!"

Ding Dexing organized a second charge, 10,000 horses galloped over, Li Yan with 500 soldiers will be broken, the rest quickly retreat to the city, Li Yan these 500 soldiers will be in close contact with Ding Dexing's men and horses.
