It's not that I haven't seen wounded soldiers, and it's not that I haven't seen troops who have just come down from the battlefield.

But at this moment, Zhu Youzhen looked at the remnants of the wounded soldiers who were crying incessantly, and his heart trembled.

There were no wounds on his body, and the bright red blood oozed from the inside of the cloth armor, which was not so frightening.

What really made Zhu Youzhen unbearable was the wounded soldiers whose arms were cut off, the remnants of the soldiers whose legs were blown off, and the intestines that were several feet out of his stomach, blood and organs flowed all over the ground, the smell of blood, and Zhu Youzhen, whose legs were weak, almost walked all the way by the attendants beside him.

"Believe in the prince to !!"

As the news of King Xin's arrival spread throughout the camp, countless soldiers and wounded flocked to the vicinity of the school, and King Xin's reputation among the people has always been very good, whether it is his struggle with Wei Zhongxian's faction, or his friendship with the Donglin faction, or his kind of good deeds in Huzhou's fiefdom, which have made him gain great support among the people.

Especially in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because of the Donglin Party, whether it is a scholar or an ordinary person, they all have an inexplicable good impression of Zhu Youzhen - people always like to beautify in their minds what they have never seen, but what is perfect in other people's mouths, especially if this person is still a noble family and a saint, then it can have weight.

Fighting to such an extent, facing such a powerful enemy, and even Qi Guogong behind the enemy, that is the Wuqu star that the entire Ming Dynasty is singing, this battle, many people are questioning, is it necessary to fight?

So they want to ask the prince Xin, can such a battle really be won?

Standing on the high platform, Zhu You looked at the wounded soldiers and soldiers who were constantly surrounding, and the blood in his heart began to surge again, this was a great opportunity to increase his prestige!

If he can establish prestige among this group of soldiers, and even win over some people's hearts, then if he returns to Nanjing City in the future, then he will not be a powerless vassal king at the mercy of others, but a prince with heavy troops!

It seems that this trip, I didn't go wrong!

It's definitely a great opportunity to get from behind the scenes to the front of the stage!

"Everyone, you are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty! Your courage to kill the enemy, your bravery, and your loyalty, will not be forgotten, and when this king returns to Nanjing, he will tell the court about your achievements and merits, and your family and relatives will be treated well and compensated, no matter who it is? Sweat and blood for the court, the court will not forget, and this king will not forget! Zhu Youjian stood on the high platform and shouted at the black soldiers under the stage, wanting to let everyone hear his voice: "This king is here today to visit you, you can rest assured, as long as this king is here, no one will erase your credit!" ”

As if afraid that someone didn't hear it, Zhu Youxiao shouted again and repeated: "As long as this king is here, your merits will not be erased."

"His Royal Highness the King of Letters!" At this time, when Zhu Youzhen's enthusiasm was bursting out and he was beginning to get better, someone in the audience suddenly asked: "You say, can we win?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Youzhen, who was disturbed, was a little unhappy,

Where did Diao people come from? So rude!

"We will win!" However, looking at the nearly 10,000 pairs of expectant eyes under the stage, Zhu Youzhen felt that he still had to answer this question: "Victory must belong to Daming!" ”

"Da Ming! Believe in the King! ”

As someone in the audience shouted this sentence, then there were scattered calls, three or two later.

"Da Ming, King Xin!"

"Da Ming, King Xin!"

The mountains roared like a tsunami, and the words "King of Faith" and "Daming" resounded throughout the school.

What is it?

That's what people want!

That's what everyone is looking forward to!

Listening to the deafening cry, Zhu Youzhen felt a little intoxicated, and his cheeks were illuminated by the torches in the school field.

It turns out that this is how it feels!

I should have stood at the top!

For the emperor's brother, for the Ming Dynasty, do your best, and die!

"Your Highness, will you fight with us here?"

"Your Highness, when will the imperial court pay you? We are short of food, little pay, no armor and soldiers, and we have almost no power to resist in the face of the rebels! ”

"If this king can be the master, he will definitely give you and other brothers more clothes and salaries, and you will not be allowed to suffer from such mental flesh and skin!" Zhu Youzhen sighed for a long time when he heard it, and it looked quite a pity.

The implication is that it is a pity that this king cannot call the shots in these things!

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Keli on the side frowned, obviously a little hesitant: You believe that the prince will put on a show, why do you want to belittle the officials in Nanjing openly and secretly?

This food and salary for the military, that can be solved with a touch of lips up and down?

"But! Today, if you speak this matter to the king, the king cannot ignore it. Zhu Youzhen raised his hands and said loudly: "When this king returns to Nanjing, he will definitely fight for food and salary for you."

Shout!!!

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, a long arrow with a black body and an arrow glowing with cold light broke through the air with a scream.

Bang!!!

Directly nailed deep into the wooden stake on the school field, the arrow feathers at the tail are still shaking.

For a moment, the entire school was as silent as night.

Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look at the arrow, and his Adam's apple moved up and down: What is this?

In the audience, everyone also looked at the cluster of arrows that came from nowhere, and they were a little stunned for a while.

"Enemy Attack !!!!"

Almost instantly, the entire school field immediately erupted in exclamation, and everyone immediately scattered.

In an instant, Yuan Keli showed the qualities that an excellent commander should have:

"Go get the weapon !!"

"Build fortifications!!"

"Cavalry, cavalry assemble!"

"All the armoured soldiers come forward and prepare for formation!"

At the same time, after the first arrow cluster was shot for three breaths, Yuan Keli raised his head, and for a moment, his eyes were full of horror.

At this moment, the sky was full of arrows, breaking through the sky.

"The rebels have arrived, everyone will kill me !!"

When Yuan Keli led his own soldiers to command the battle, His Royal Highness King Xin was already protected from the battlefield by guards.

"The rebels are here?" Helped by the guards to get on the horse, Zhu Youzhen did not panic this time, but turned his head to look at the school field that was already full of fire: "Where are we going?" ”

"Your Highness, let's withdraw first! It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Governor Yuan and them, they can't hold it! ”

The attendants were almost bitter.

"Alas," Zhu Youzhen sighed with a sigh: "For a moment, this king really wants to fight the enemy together with this group of Ming warriors!" ”

"Your Highness, if a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the future of the Ming Dynasty depends on you!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen immediately shrugged, a sense of responsibility arose, and in a hurry, he only jumped two words: "Go quickly!! ”

On the bank of the Zhaoyang River, Qin Erbao rode his horse and stopped on the riverside, looking at the camp with flames and murders in the distance.

The coldness and indifference on his face never seemed to go away.

The raid in the middle of the night, and it was a critical moment when Zhu Youzhen was giving a speech to the Ming army on the school grounds.

Qin Erbao's timing was not as simple as good luck.

Soldiers, treacherous ways.

At the foot of Huishan Mountain, there are twelve hours a day, and there will be no less than three hundred scouts around, and if it is night, it will be doubled.

Qin Erbao knew the movements of the Ming army on the front line of Huishan well.

When did Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, set off from Pei County and when did he arrive at the Ming army camp, Qin Erbao received the news even earlier than Yuan Keli.

Since the beginning of the battle in Guangning City, Liaodong, among all the skills learned from Brother Qi, this one is enough for Qin Erbao to eat for a lifetime: always have a little more information than your opponent, even if that news seems irrelevant, because you don't know when you will rely on him to save your life.

An hour later, the killing cries on the front line of Huishan had weakened.

The difference in strength is so huge, and it is a surprise attack, and more than 20,000 soldiers and horses are all pressed, there will be no accidents.

Not long after, the horse stepped on the riverbank, and as far as Qin Erbao could see, it was all scorched earth.

"My lord, this battle is a great victory," the adjutant general Diao Yunqi stepped forward to report: "The troops sent by Nanjing were routed on all fronts, except for Yuan Keli who escaped with a few soldiers and horses, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and captured more than 3,000 people."

"Three thousand captured? There is still a team of centaurs who did not show up! Qin Erbao stopped and turned his head to look at his relatives: "Ask Ding Fu to come and see me!! ”

Not long after, Ding Fu, who was slightly colored on his body, arrived.

"My lord, it has been investigated," Ding Fu rode his horse to Qin Erbao's side and said in a low voice, "There are no ambushes in Qishan and Aishan. ”

Looking at the tragic battlefield in the distance, Qin Erbao sneered: "There are no ambushes, there is no effective resistance in the school field, and more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses have disappeared out of thin air?" ”

"Could it be that Nanjing retreats first in order to preserve its strength?" Ding Fu thought for a long time before he said.

"Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu won't be so stupid, and Yuan Keli won't be either!"

If you want to preserve strength, why not retreat all at all?

Leaving these soldiers on the front line of Huishan, they want to use their heads to cut the edge of Liaodong's knife?

As soon as these words came out, Diao Yunqi on the side was also puzzled: What about the more than 10,000 horses?

"Report !!" Just when everyone was confused, the scout suddenly came to report.

"My lord, at the beginning of the battle, more than 10,000 men and horses took advantage of the night to cross the upstream river and go to Dangmang Mountain."

Dangmang Mountain?

"Yuan Keli has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist!" Qin Erbao smiled loudly when he heard this, without the slightest panic: "Use the frontal remnants to attract our attention, and the elite troops will cross Dangmang Mountain."

"They want to go to Henan?" Ding Fu and the others wondered.

At this time, if you don't go all out to block the frontal army, why go to Henan?

"It's not Henan," Qin Erbao shook his head and turned his head to look in the direction of the mountains of Dangmang Mountain: "It's the north, it's the Gyeonggi region." ”

However, Qin Erbao was not worried about anything.

Because Qi Guogong's backhand is not only the 10,000 people guarding the Jingshi.

Lu Xiangsheng's more than 10,000 Lu Jiajun received Wang Qi's order half a month ago, and they have already gone south to Shanhaiguan, and it is estimated that they have arrived in Hejian Mansion.

"Hey, I hope that Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu won't run into Lu Xiangsheng's kid head-on," Thinking of Lu Xiangsheng's angry appearance in Liaodong, Qin Erbao smiled a little presumptuously.

I believe that Lu Xiangsheng will teach this group of so-called elites of the Ming army who have never seen the world a good lesson!

"My lord, since the main force of the Ming army going north is handled by General Lu, and Yuan Keli has fled with the remnants of the army, shall we go next?" Diao Yunqi is already gearing up at the moment, if he can smash Huanglong, wouldn't it be a great achievement? When the time comes, what Rausch members of parliament can sit on themselves!

"Pass the order, the whole army will rest in place, and after three hours, march to Xuzhou Mansion!"

Qin Erbao's gaze passed through the Huishan Mountains and looked south, where there was the Yangtze River rushing for thousands of miles, the drunken city of Nanjing, and the Qinhuai River like a gold grotto.

"I don't want to stop here!" Qin Erbao waved his horsewhip.

With a snap, the whip exploded in the air.

It seems to echo far away between the mountains.

meanwhile

As if it was an auditory hallucination, Zhu Youzhen, who had already galloped on his horse and galloped towards Xuzhou Mansion, suddenly exploded in his mind, his body shook, and he almost fell off his horse.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" The attendant leaned close to Zhu Youzhen, looking worried.

In the past few days, Zhu Youzhen has been in a hurry, from Huzhou to Nanjing City, Nanjing City within three days to meet several Donglin bigwigs, and then met with the cabinet ministers, and then from Nanjing City to Xuzhou Mansion, and then from Xuzhou Mansion non-stop rush to the front line of Huishan, since childhood, the pampered Xin Wang Ye can persist until now, but also let the relatives and followers impressed.

"It's okay, how far is it from the first line of Huishan now?" After Zhu Youxiao and others encountered a surprise attack by the rebels, they chose to flee as soon as possible, so they ran out of an unknown number of miles in one hour along the way.

"Your Highness, it is estimated that there are still two hundred miles away from Xuzhou Mansion, the number of rebels is not large, after the battle on the front line of Huishan, they still need to rest, they will definitely not rashly attack Xuzhou Mansion, and Xuzhou Mansion is strong and deep, they will definitely not be able to break it!"

Hearing his personal reply, Zhu Youzhen's heart that had been hanging finally let go and nodded.

When the tense nerves suddenly relax, the body's feedback is overwhelming.

In an instant, the muscles of his whole body were extremely sore, and his legs were almost twitching, which made Zhu Youzhen directly cry out in pain, and then fell directly from the horse.

"Your Highness!!"

————

Xuzhou Mansion, the temporary residence of His Royal Highness King Xin.

When Yuan Keli rushed to Zhu Youzhen's bed with the remnants of his men, His Royal Highness King Xin was still in a coma.

"Your Highness has been working on state affairs all day these days, and he fell off his horse during the rebels' maneuvering, and he fainted!"

Yuan Keli looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was pale, no matter what, his heart was still moved.

No matter what the purpose is, this prince of faith has really arrived at the front line of Huishan, and he has really fought side by side with the frontline war

Although it still hasn't been able to change the ending!

Moreover, Yuan Keli knew that he had lost completely.

On the front line of Huishan, in addition to the more than 10,000 men and horses taken away by Wu Xiang and Zuo Liangyu, after a big battle, there were only more than 6,000 remnants left in his hands.

"Believe in the king's loyalty to the country!" In the end, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties finally sighed: "The old man is in love!" ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, who was in a coma, seemed to have a sweet dream, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (End of chapter)
