"Withdraw!!"

The three souls were shocked, and when Harawu and Tulu Kuchaer saw thousands of armored horsemen slaughtering them, they didn't think of anyone else at all.

Except for Da Ming, no force can pull out so many armor horses in such a short period of time.

"Withdraw!!" Hoarse, Haragu turned his horse's head and fled south.

Not only him, but all the Uliangha light horsemen fled south after him.

"Withdraw!" Tulu Kucha'er also reacted, and he beckoned the remaining Tanma Red Army, but instead of fleeing in the same direction as Haragu, he fled to the dead end of Jixi Fort.

For a while, the spears surrounding the Bohai Navy were withdrawn one after another, and all the Tanma Red Army began to retreat with Tuolu Huchaer.

The Bohai Navy got a respite, and Zhu Gaoxu also lost the opportunity to break the cauldron, but this opportunity ...... He would rather not.

It seemed that the previous madness had been retributed, and his body seemed to be drained of strength, and he sat down.

Not only him, but all the Bohai Navy collapsed to the ground.

"Kill me! Don't let any of them go! ”

"Your Highness, stand back, this place is dangerous!"

"I'm going to lead by example!"

"Your Highness...... Alas......"

In front of thousands of troops, Zhu Di took the lead, and at this moment, he seems to be more like a fierce general than Zhu Gaoxu.

His bravery gave Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others a headache.

Helpless, they could only lead people to protect Zhu Di and defend him around.

Their target was the largest number of Haragu in the army, and he and thousands of light cavalry were chased by the Ming army's armored cavalry, and there were even Ming light cavalry on the left and right.

The light horsemen on the left and right relied on their full horsepower to flank and squeeze the light horses of Haragu, but Halagu did not care about this, and he fled south with thousands of light horses, leaving behind some of the entangled light horses.

"Don't care about these small fish and shrimp, kill the big fish in front of me!!"

Zhu Di wielded a long sword, the fire was full in the night, the flag of the Ming Yanfu fluttered in the night, and thousands of armored horsemen wielded spears and drew bows and arrows.

From north to south, they pursued Haragu all the way to the south.

At this time, a light cavalry of nearly 1,000 people came in front of Zhu Gaoxu and them.

"Dare to ask which one is the king of Bohai County!"

On horseback, a tall and burly man who was taller than Zhu Gaochu asked, and Zhu Gaochu also stood up when he heard this: "Lone is Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Bohai County." ”

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, the man's pupils shrank, obviously he didn't expect Zhu Gaochu to be so burly and tall.

He turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Zhu Gaoxu, but he was half a head taller than Zhu Gaoxu.

"The last general Miyun commanded peace, I have seen His Highness!"

Ping An bowed, and when Zhu Gaoxu learned his name, he also subconsciously looked at him.

This current general of the Northern Army is indeed burly, and after seeing him, Zhu Gaoxu didn't think that later historical materials said that he was carrying hundreds of pounds.

With this size and figure, it's a waste to lift something that can't lift four or five hundred pounds.

Zhu Gaochu is looking at Ping An, and Ping An is also looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

The difference is that Zhu Gaochu knew that Ping An could fight, but Ping An didn't know that Zhu Gaochu was also very capable of fighting.

Because of this, when he saw Zhu Gaoxu holding a Zhangliu iron spear in his hand, his pupils shrank.

When he dismounted and came to front and back of him, he saw that he was wearing double armor, and his heart was even tighter.

The Ming Army's Ming armor is forty-five pounds heavy, and the double armor is ninety pounds, and he can wear such a weight armor and still go into battle to kill the enemy, he has never seen it in the army for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, he looked around, only to find that there were countless fallen dead around him, and many corpses were in a miserable state, not to mention that their armor pieces were badly dented.

It is true that a blunt soldier can break the armor, but this break is also limited, at most, it will smash the armor slightly deformed, hurting the enemy's intestines, but it will not be like the corpses around at the moment, the armor is almost smashed into a 'concave' shape.

"This son, the courage is amazing......"

This thought flashed through Ping'an's mind, and then he continued to Zhu Gaoxu: "Your Highness can harvest the heads and armored horses of the enemy army here, and the last general will lead the army to chase after the thief who fled to the river valley just now. ”

"General and slow ......" Zhu Gaoxu stopped Ping'an, and then told Ping'an the number of enemy troops in Hadaling.

However, Ping An said: "Your Highness, rest assured, although His Royal Highness King Yan only brought 5,000 elite horsemen to this attack, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division has sent more than 4,000 soldiers to this place. ”

"After a while, you only need to send troops to surround those thieves on the mountain."

"Thank you, General." Although he knew that he would inevitably fight with Ping An in the future, Zhu Gaoxu was indeed very grateful for Ping An at the moment.

"The last will be retired." Ping'an did not greet Zhu Gaoxu too much, he did not form factions, and tried to avoid getting close to the vassal kings.

When he turned around and got on the horse, he led more than 1,000 elite horsemen to kill Jixi Castle in a short time.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu also said to the more than 300 Bohai Navy who could still move behind him: "Clean up the battlefield, see if there are any other brothers alive, and let Lin Su send a military doctor and a carriage to treat the seriously injured brothers." ”

"Yes...... more than 300 Bohai Navy, all of them showed expressions on their faces for the rest of their lives.

At the call of Zhu Gaoxu, they began to clean up the battlefield, while the two cavalrymen took off their waistcoats and armor and returned to Jixi Fort in the rear.

Zhu Di was still chasing and killing Harawu, while Na Tulu Kuchaer took 800 armor cavalry to the foot of Hadaling Mountain in advance, ordered all the troops to retreat down the mountain, and rode horses to prepare to break through.

Thousands of armies abandoned the low-hanging Hada Ridge and faded like a tide.

On the slopes of Hadaling Mountain, countless corpses were lying in the mountains and forests, and Zhang Chun and Wang Yi were leaning against a tree, covered in blood.

The surviving Bohai Navy and the Liaodong Army carried them down the mountain, and for a time military doctors became talents in short supply.

Hundreds of wounded people were sent down the mountain one after another, and the Jixi Fort was full of wounded.

"Rush!"

Tuolu Kuchaer led thousands of light horsemen to break through and fought with a safe collision with thousands of light horsemen in front of him.

Without the pressure of the armored cavalry, the Rao is Ming army was all armored light cavalry, but it still couldn't stop the breakthrough of these thousands of light cavalry.

After leaving behind a few hundred people, Tulu Kuchaer led a light cavalry to break through the siege successfully, and began to flee with Kharagu from the south and the north.

The Bohai Navy led by Zhu Gaoxu watched Tulu Hucha'er flee with his own eyes, and he wanted to get on his horse and fight again, but after the strength faded, the pain from all over his body told him that his body had reached its limit.

Not only him, but also many Bohai armored cavalry soldiers.

They've done well enough and done well enough that night.

But when Tuolu Kuchaer led three or four thousand light cavalry to break through successfully, Zhu Gaoxu saw the sailors led by Yishiha going down the river.

Looking at the four boats, Zhu Gaoxu asked his heart if he wanted to take his brothers on board to expand the results of the battle.

But when he looked down at nearly half of the five hundred armored horsemen who had gone with him lying on the ground, he gave up that choice.

Even if he wanted to pursue by boat, he was not stupid, he could go straight to the grassland without going along the Songhua River.

Closing his eyes, Zhu Gaoxu untied his armor one by one.

"Your Highness!"

Yishaha and the sailor found a shoal, and put down several small boats to dock.

Five or six military doctors and more than twenty servants came down from the boat.

"It's too late for the end, please condemn your sin!"

Yisha ran anxiously, and after running to Zhu Gaoxu's side, he immediately looked at his current situation.

"I don't blame you, you came according to the hour, but I didn't make it to ......"

Zhu Gaoxu replied with a frown, his armor full of arrows.

Seeing this, he hurriedly took off his armor, and the robe under the armor did not have too many blood stains.

But Rao is like this, and Yisha can also guess the extent of his injury from Zhu Gaoxu's frowning behavior.

Without delay, he opened the corner of Zhu Gaoxu's clothes, and sure enough, many of the flesh in the clothes had turned blue and purple.

"Doctor Zhang!!"

Yishiha turned his head and greeted a thirty-year-old healer who was running over, and the healer hurriedly came over after hearing this, and untied Zhu Gaoxu's clothes with Yishiha.

The scene in front of them made them gasp, at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's upper body, especially the front, had suffered more than ten wounds, which were basically lacerations after blunt object blows.

Doctor Zhang stretched out his hand and touched it gently, Zhu Gaoxu also felt the pain in his body at this moment, and after a while, dense cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"It's okay, it didn't hurt the bones, it was all flesh wounds."

While rejoicing, Doctor Zhang took out the medicinal wine from the medicine box, poured it on his hands, and rubbed the wound suffered by Zhu Gaoxu.

The pain made Zhu Gaoxu's face pale and his teeth clenched.

At the same time, the other servants and the soldiers who could still walk began to carry the wounded who were still alive on the battlefield onto the boats, and pulled them by horses to Jixi Fort.

The sky began to gray, and before I knew it, it had come to six o'clock.

Zhu Di led the army and didn't know where to run after Harawu, while Ping'an led more than 1,000 light cavalry to kill and capture nearly 1,000 intercepted Wuliangha light cavalry.

After Ping'an solved those light horses, Zhu Gaoxu also put on the clothes again.

He first looked at the battlefield that could be seen vaguely, around the Bohai Navy, hundreds of corpses of northern captives were lying on the ground, including Tanma Red Army and ordinary light cavalry.

The abandoned horses were gathered together by the Yishiha faction, and there were hundreds of them, although most of them were only inferior horses, but for Jilin City, they were indispensable productivity.

"Let's go, we can go home......"

Sitting on the back of the red donkey, Zhu Gaoxu touched the neck of the red donkey, as if he was saying to it, but it was also like saying it to everyone.

They set out on their return journey, leaving behind dozens of servants to collect the booty at the Uliangha camp.

During this time, they passed by the place where Ping'an fought with Tulu Kuchaer, and there were many dead bodies, no less than a thousand.

For such a result, the Bohai Navy has become numb, and in the past few days of fighting, they no longer know how many light soldiers like this have been killed.

They went to Jixi Fort, and gradually, they saw Jixi Fort with the city gate open, and all the soldiers and servants who had left the city.

Of the nearly 7,000 people who were there before the war, less than half of them are still standing now.

Next to them, Ping'an, who dismounted and unloaded his armor, and other Ming soldiers also looked at them with admiration, perhaps because they saw the tragic situation on Hada Ridge, or they learned about the tragedy of this battle from their mouths.

Zhu Gaoxu came on horseback, although on the surface he didn't seem to have any injuries, but he and Yiha, Zhang Yijiang was very aware of his condition.

But even so, Zhu Gaoxu still pretended to be fine, rode to Ping'an, Lin Su and others, turned over and dismounted.

After he dismounted, Ping'an also said with admiration: "I never thought that Your Highness would rely on less than 2,000 soldiers to block the 30,000 cavalry of the Wuliangha tribe, and kill more than 1,000 enemies. ”

"Is my father here?" Zhu Gaoxu asked about Ping An, and Ping An also bowed his head and said:

"Before the charge, His Royal Highness King Yan asked me to lead more than 1,000 horsemen to help His Highness, and I led more than 4,000 horsemen to pursue the main force of Hu Bing."

Speaking of this, Ping'an frowned: "I just never thought that Nahara Wu actually used the main force to attack the mountain, so that the last general failed to intercept his main force." ”

Ping An may be blaming himself, or maybe he thinks that he didn't grasp such a big splash of wealth, in short, no matter what, he is very annoyed at the moment.

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxu is not surprised, the narrowest place in the Songhua River valley is Jixi Fort, as long as you pass Jixi Fort, no matter to the east or west, it is a wide hill or plain.

When Ping'an led his troops to attack, Zhu Gaoxu expected that he would not be able to stop Tulu Huchaer from breaking through.

But he didn't have any special feelings about this, and he was already very satisfied to be able to survive with half of the men in Jilin City.

Moreover, Wu Liangha left tens of thousands of corpses in Jilin City this time, and I am afraid that they will have to be used to recover in the next three to five years.

"How's the horse seized?" Zhu Gaoxu asked about Ping An, but Ping An's face was a little ugly.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled, but Lin Su stepped forward cheekily: "Hu Bing failed to take away some horses, and they were all captured by the general, about three or four thousand. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu understood why Ping'an's face was ugly, perhaps because when he was fighting with Tulu Kucha'er, Lin Su, the sixth old man, took people to touch and seize the horses.

"General Ping has come from afar this time, and I will pick two hundred medium-sized horses from these horses to give to the general."

Although Ping An also captured a lot of horses, but 200 medium horses were worth a lot of money, so Ping An didn't have such a bad face as he did at the beginning, but thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness, ......

"General Ping and the armies have dinner?" Zhu Gaoxu asked, but Ping An shook his head:

"It's not a secret, since my army arrived in Wuliang Habald City, and learned that Harawu led 30,000 cavalry to the south, His Royal Highness King Yan led more than 5,000 cavalry to come."

"In six days, the army has traveled more than 900 miles, and has not eaten a hot meal so far, and tonight is also day and night."

"His Royal Highness King Yan originally wanted to let the army eat a cold meal before sending troops, but he never wanted to see His Royal Highness surrounded by Hu soldiers, so he ordered to send troops to raid."

Six days, more than 900 miles......

Hearing Ping'an's words, Zhu Gaoxu had to admire his father, but what he had to do at the moment was not to admire him, but to prepare to arrange for Zhu Di's food and accommodation for more than 5,000 people.

"Slaughter sheep and chickens, cook enough food to reward the brothers who come to their aid."

Zhu Gaoxu instructed Yishuha, and then said to Ping'an: "Jixi Fort only has one gate here, if you camp in the bay, it is not very convenient to return in the next day, why don't you simply clean up the Hu barracks and let the army rest there today?" ”

"The last general will listen to His Highness's arrangement." Ping An did not put forward other opinions, but went on a business-like basis.

It was his businesslike appearance that made Zhu Gaoxu breathe a sigh of relief.

If Ping An is close to him, and the two get along well, he doesn't know how to face him in the future.

As for getting closer to Ping An, Zhu Gaoxu never thought about it.

In history, Zhu Di and him had a close relationship, but as a result, Ping An was not supposed to be killed, and he did not release water at all.

It is precisely because of this that the heroes of the martyrdom after the end of the martyrdom did not wait to see him.

As for whether he really committed suicide because of Zhu Di's sentence "Ping Bao'er is still alive", there is no way to verify, but judging from the fact that after Zhu Di's death, he inherited Ping'an's command to Ping'an's family, Zhu Di should not be careful to kill a general who he can use.

However, it should also be a fact that Ping An was squeezed out by the heroes of the Jingnan Martyrdom, after all, Zhu Di's carelessness does not mean that others are careless.

Ping'an once swept the north several times with the Yan army, but he killed so many former comrades in the Jing disaster, it is strange that he can be treated with it.

"Zhu Yunwen, ah......"

Zhu Gaoxu did not blame the people who participated in the martyrdom, and the only person he really wanted to blame was Zhu Yunwen.

He cleaned up his mood, endured the physical pain and motioned for everyone to enter the city, Ping An did not follow up, but said that he needed to arrange for the soldiers and horses to rest, but Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that he didn't want to be too deeply involved with himself.

In this regard, he did not force it, but after agreeing, he took people to the gate tower of Jixi Fort.

When he got up to the city gate, he sat in his place, still not showing any injuries, and he looked worriedly, but he didn't dare to say it.

Lin Su didn't know why, and he knew what Zhu Gaoxu wanted to ask, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, just now the last general asked my brother to count the casualties, and he hasn't come out yet." ”

"Good ......"

Zhu Gaoxu forced a smile, then looked at the people who came up, and said worriedly: "What about Zhang Chun and Wang Yi?" ”

"They are injured, but they are all minor injuries, Your Highness don't worry." Lin Su reacted in time, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything anymore when he saw this, but beckoned Yizha to prepare the meal, and he was still waiting for the statistics of the dead and injured and the seizures.

Leaning back in his chair, he fell asleep from the waiting.

Seeing this, the two hundred household officials who guarded him also slowly retreated, closed the door, and beckoned the soldiers around him to move quietly.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know anything about the outside world, he was so tired at the moment that he didn't even dream, but he felt that his eyes were closed for a while.

When he opened his eyes slowly, he thought that at most a quarter of an hour had passed, but he did not want the gate tower to be closed, and the sunlight was pouring in through the cracks.

"Cui Jun!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted, and the door was pushed open after a while.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old flag officer was lying at the door, apparently sleeping in the doorway.

"What time is it? Hasn't my father come back yet? ”

Cui Jun opened his eyes painfully, and after listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, he glanced at the sundial next to the city gate tower, and turned around and said, "Your Highness, it's been three quarters, and the brothers haven't heard or seen His Royal Highness King Yan come back." ”

"Got it, you asked them to report the dead and wounded to me."

Although he couldn't bear to disturb Cui Jun, Zhu Gaoxu was now eager to know about the death and injury of the brothers.

Before he could say it, Cui Jun staggered up and walked over with a booklet.

"Your Highness, this is a document sent by the palm print of the previous time, the names, places of origin, and ages of the brothers who died in the war are all on it, and the seizure is still being counted."

Cui Jun was about to go out after speaking, but Zhu Gaoxu stopped him when he saw it: "Lie down on that plank and rest, I will go back to Jilin City in a while." ”

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't bear to let him sleep on the ground at the door, and told him to go to the side to sleep on the wooden bed he slept on these days.

In the past, Cui Jun would definitely refuse, but at this moment, his mind was muddy, and he actually nodded his head in a ghostly manner, walked to the wooden bed, planted it and fell asleep.

Seeing him sleep, Zhu Gaoxu also took a deep breath and opened the book heavily.

In this book, familiar names are written.

Because his memory is so good, Zhu Gaoxu can remember almost all the brothers in the Bohai Navy, so once he sees that person's name at this moment, the picture of this person with a smiling face and shouting 'Your Highness' to himself immediately appears in his mind.

In this way, he turned the pages to the middle......

[There are no 376 people in the Jilin Guard Array, 492 in the Shenyang Zhongwei Array, 241 in the Military Household Array, and 875 in the Jurchen Male Array. 】

[One hundred and seventy-six were seriously wounded, one thousand four hundred and thirty-seven were lightly wounded, one hundred and seventy-six military horses were lost, and ninety-four were disabled......]

Looking at the numbers written in his hand, they were not names, but lives.

The 868 armor soldiers were not on the battlefield, and the military households and the Jurchens were subordinate, making a total of 1,984 people.

1,613 were lightly and seriously wounded, and 270 of the armoured horses were killed or wounded.

There were nearly 7,000 men in Jixi Fort, and more than half of the casualties made Zhu Gaoxu breathless.

His original plans were ruined by this battle, whether it was the construction of the city of Zhaozhou, the annexation of the Jurchens of the Six Cities, or various other ...... All destroyed.

He looked at the end of the book written about the battle damage, and the Shenyang Zhongwei survived only 498 people, nearly half of them were killed or wounded, and the Bohai Navy in Jilin City only survived 1,113 people after adding the soldiers in Andong City and the three rear fields.

Even if you add the military households who have just arrived in Jilin City, as well as the Jurchen servants who are studying in the academy, the number of soldiers in Jilin City is only more than 2,800 people.

With this amount of troops, plus the military households that have not yet moved from the south, the strength of Jilin City will not exceed four thousand.

"The Jurchens must be swallowed!"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't have a chance to think about it, he had to eat the Jurchens hiding in Jilin Bay.

Only by eating them, leaving behind more than 2,000 strong laborers and more than 3,000 teenagers, can Jilin City maintain about 6,000 troops.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu slowly got up and walked out of the city gate tower in a low voice.

When he walked off the road and came to Jilin Bay behind Jixi Fort, many of the wounded were being treated, and Yishiha was leading people to kill sheep and cook.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu walked to Yishaha's side, and Yishaha also found out after he walked to his side, and hurriedly made a move.

"No need to ......" Zhu Gaoxu helped him, then glanced around, and explained to Yishu in a low voice:

"I want to go back to Jilin City, if my father comes back, you will say that I was injured and went back to Jilin City to recuperate."

"In addition......" Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the Jurchen men who were cooking mutton: "Find a way to win them over these Jurchens and let them persuade their leaders to stay in Jilin City." ”

also lost his head, obviously understanding what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu also patted it, and then rode back to Jilin City alone......
