The emperor did not give face to the Marquis of Wu'an, and forced the civil and military officials to continue to watch the songs and dances in the Fengtian Palace.

But where do the ministers still have this thought, now everyone can see that something big is happening outside.

And it is very clear that the emperor had premeditated and deliberately trapped the ministers here.

Therefore, the emperor is not only suspicious of eunuchs, even if he is a minister, a general, and a nobleman, he is obviously not at ease, for fear that someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos.

When the monarch and the minister are in this position, it is actually very boring.

But Zhu Qiyu doesn't care, the ministers can look at it whatever they like, politics is a shameless thing, especially when you are an emperor, you can't ask for face.

Zhu Qiyu just wants his family to live well, after all, the lessons are there, the historical Jingtai is because his face is too thin, he doesn't dare to do it, he doesn't dare to do it, and he doesn't dare to do it, but among his large group of women, only one of the two or five boys survived, and the rest either died or were forced to be buried, how unbearable it was.

So Zhu Qiyu and the ministers were clubbed in the Fengtian Hall like this, and let the ministers discuss casually, as long as they didn't leave the hall.

……

The sages all pay attention to the induction of heaven and man, in fact, the induction of heaven and man sometimes really works.

As more and more Warat soldiers were killed on the battlefield, the rain became heavier and heavier. The bleak wind and rain set off the battlefield even more tragic and desolate.

From the very beginning, Zhu Qiyu was focusing on training his own guards in night raid tactics, waiting for this night's rainy night attack camp.

The negative example is the Shenji Battalion led by Fan Guang and Tao Jin. As the name suggests, the combat mode of the Shenji Battalion is mainly based on firearms. On such a rainy day, firearms are definitely useless. Although some of the elites of the Shenji Battalion can also engage in hand-to-hand combat, they are much worse than the Yingzhou Guard and the Xiaocai Battalion after all.

Moreover, the division of labor between the battalion and the state guard is more clear and coordinated, with 8,000 soldiers divided into four arms, and 3,000 heavy infantry in the front, responsible for charging and breaking through; Two thousand nimble light infantry, responsible for interceptions and sieges.

A thousand crossbowmen were responsible for assisting and covering. The remaining 2,000 men were responsible for cutting off people's heads and cleaning up the fish that had slipped through the net.

In addition, the 500 dead soldiers of the Arazhi Yuan were temporarily mixed into the right guard of Yingzhou to act together. Since the right guard of Yingzhou was originally based on the Baoding Tartar officials who returned to the Ming Dynasty, there was no problem for the two sides to cooperate at all.

Zhu Qiyu came to the 800 divine arm crossbows from the military department and the Jinyi guard at the beginning, and later added a batch, and now the firearms are useless on heavy rainy days, and the strong bow and crossbow are lined up to be of great use.

Therefore, after entering the Wara battalion, the Yingzhou guard did not kill the Chinese army first, but covered the rear army to follow up, and then played the game of cutting off people's heads on the flanks in an orderly manner.

This is not that the soldiers of Yingzhou Wei are not brave enough, but a kind of humility and courtesy. Fan Guang, Wang Tong, Hao Yi, Li Xuan, Guo Chang, Guo Cong and others need to defeat the merits of the Chinese army.

First, Yingzhou Wei has made enough contributions before, and Xu Tong, Gu Zhong, Liu Chang and others are not willing to make too big a fuss, and second, the guards cut off people's heads and give a lot of rewards. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.

The Shenji Battalion led by Fan Guang and Wang Tong's Tiance Guard shouted the slogan of capturing Yexian alive in the heavy rain, and were the first to kill Yexian's outskirts of the Chinese army camp.

Guarding the Chinese army was the most elite 10,000 pro-army, all wearing heavy armor and holding sharp blades, fearlessly resisting the impact of the Ming army.

Fan Guang and Wang Tong are also about 10,000 people, and the two sides are blocked in a small area, and they can't be used at all, and no one can help anyone for a while.

The two sides cut each other's meals, and there were not many casualties after all.

Fan Guang and Wang Tong were in a hurry, but they were more anxious than the two of them. There were shouts of killing everywhere outside, and if you think about it, you know that the Ming army did not have 350,000 people, and they did not dare to kill in the camp.

This means that there are at least 80,000 to 100,000 people fighting together on both sides of Warat and Daming.

Thinking of this, I became more and more frightened and cold. Seeing that it is about to end, let's not talk about whether the exhausted 36,000 soldiers in his hands can beat the 30,000 to 50,000 Ming troops who came in.

Even if you can beat it, what can you do, the Ming army has a total of more than 200,000 people, and the 50,000 in front of you are exhausted, and another 50,000 can be sent; If it is all over again, then send another 50,000.

Now that the lights are blind and the wind and rain are combined, the combat power advantage of the Warat cavalry cannot be brought into play at all.

There are still more than three hours before dawn, and no matter how brave and good the Warat soldiers are, they will not be able to hold out at all, and their physical strength will be exhausted.

To put it simply, even if the Ming army uses the most stupid wheel warfare, it will consume the Warat army.

So let's also draw a conclusion first: this time it's lost.

The only rational approach now is to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, and win less if you lose.

Just when he was also entangled first, Zhu Qiyu did something excessive: Hao Yi's four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison and Xu Heng's Xiao Cavalry Battalion also killed the periphery of the Chinese army camp from the opposite direction of Fan Guang.

Zhu Qiyu's excesses lie in the fact that he previously agreed to the proposal of Chen Fuzong, the local official of Jiaozhi, and let Chen Zongfu, Ruan Zongqi and other local officials of Jiaozhi join the Wuxiang Left Guard, responsible for pulling out the elephants raised by the imperial horses, building elephant armor, and training elephant warfare.

No, right now, these dozens of heavily armed elephants are in use.

If it is on a frontal battlefield, the two sides set up a position to face each other, elephant warfare is useless, artillery, and crossbows can easily deal with elephants.

But this night attack is different, not to mention that there is no artillery in Warat, even if there is artillery, it is enough to use it on a rainy day. As for the strong crossbow, the camp is in chaos like this, how can there be any effort to set up a strong crossbow, even if it is erected, how to aim at the black light.

Ordinary crossbows, shot at the armor of elephants, even if they tickle, do not have much effect.

The elite soldiers didn't have much time to react, and dozens of elephants crashed in, and immediately people turned over on their backs, and the formation was in chaos.

Immediately afterward, the cavalry battalion and the four guards of the Imperial Horse Prison poured in through the gap that the elephant had knocked out.

Seeing this first, he let out a long sigh. It can't be blocked at all, and his own soldiers are now under the enemy's back, and they are already stretched. If you don't run away, you will soon be surrounded on all sides.

At this time, Fan Guang and Wang Tong were also in the east of the Chinese army; Xu Heng and Hao Yi are in the west of Yexian; Yingzhou Wei has been slowly approaching from the north, and there is no one in the south.

This is also what Zhu Qiyu had already instructed to besiege the master Bique, and specially left a road for him to run south.

As for whether the poor should not be chased, then Zhu Qiyu doesn't care. Anyway, the next Yingzhou Guard, Xiaocai Battalion, and Tiance Wei all have other important tasks, and they will not participate in the military operation of pursuing and going to Bauhinia Pass first.

As for the other armies and guards, let their commanders command them. Even if something goes wrong, it is the main general who is responsible, after all, Zhu Qiyu did not order them to pursue indiscriminately.

……

Soon in the second half of the night, many ministers in the Fengtian Hall had begun to fall asleep.

Zhu Qiyu finished nibbling on a meatloaf made by his little favorite concubine herself, drank a pot of wine, and then leaned back on the dragon chair and watched the ministers in a daze.
