Chapter 105 Defeat after defeat
The snowflakes falling in the sky made the marching sergeant shiver. Looking at the horseshoes stuck in the mud, the sergeant was full of complaints. After some tossing, the army finally stopped.
Yuan Chonghuan looked at the soaked cavalry expressionlessly. After a moment, he commanded the army to continue marching towards Zunhua. At this time, Zunhua had already become a bloody battlefield, and every living life was being destroyed.
Take away.
The Jin soldiers who kept attacking Zunhua had broken through the city defense and approached the city gate. The Ming army tried their best to use their last strength, but they still could not withstand the fierce attack of the Jin soldiers.
Zhu Yuanzhang in Luanping was staring at the map in front of him, thinking a lot. At this time, Lu Tu walked into the military tent and said hurriedly: "Sir, the Ming army is almost unable to resist!"
Zhu Yuanzhang just hummed, and the military tent suddenly fell into silence. After a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Lu Tu who was standing there: "Go and rectify the army immediately and wait for my order."
"Yes!" After hearing this, Lu Tu turned and left, holding the riding whip tightly in his hand. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. His home was also destroyed by the slaves, and he was eager to take revenge at this moment.
However, when he thought he had assembled the army and was about to go out, he waited for several hours. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the military tent, looked at the people standing in the snow, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Lutu stepped forward and replied: "Sir, we are ready."
Lu Tu was stunned for a moment, his heart was like the turbulent sea, and his passion was lacking for a moment. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Let's break up!"
The sergeants looked at each other with doubts in their hearts, but they could only return to the barracks silently, each with their own thoughts. Lutu looked at the backs of the sergeants leaving, full of confusion in his heart, but looking at the open military tent, he just silently
After taking a look, he turned around and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the battle report in his hand with an unfathomable expression on his face. He silently put away the battle report and looked in the direction of Zunhua. The Jin soldiers had already begun to clear the battlefield, and the remaining Ming troops were escorting Qin Liangyu, who had fought bloody battles but was physically and mentally exhausted.
He and Mangui fled to Jizhou.
In the capital, the faces of the civil and military ministers were dim and unclear, and the words of the head of the Ministry of Rites were still echoing in their ears, but they were killed outside the palace gate. At this moment, the air in the court seemed to have solidified, and the ministers could only remain silent.
I don’t dare to make any further comments.
In the main hall, Emperor Chongzhen slowly left the dragon chair. The ministers looked at each other in shock. Seeing this, Wang Huaien sang loudly: "Retreat from the court!" and then followed closely behind Emperor Chongzhen.
At this moment, all the officials had no intention of chatting, and they all hurried to their homes. The gold and silver had already been packed in soft packages, and they were just waiting for a decree. All the officials thought that the emperor was just angry for a moment, and would eventually recognize the facts and decide what to do next.
The purpose is to move south.
Relatives in Nanzhili began to secretly purchase properties, sell off the properties in the capital, and exchange them for gold and silver. They all firmly believed that Emperor Chongzhen would recognize the facts and eventually move the capital to Nanzhili. Therefore, all the ministers ordered
Relatives in Southern Zhili began to prepare to welcome the officials and emperor who had moved the capital.
In the palace garden, a group of figures left quietly under the protection of the palace guards.
Looking at the figure who had left, Emperor Chongzhen asked in a low voice: "Are all arrangements in place?"
Wang Huaien nodded affirmatively and replied: "Your Majesty has already made arrangements, and someone will escort His Majesty and the Empress to the capital."
"Um!"
Chongzhen looked at the capital city covered by dark clouds, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Where are Mao Wenlong's troops now?"
"Master Mao has passed through Shanhaiguan and is now heading towards Qian'an!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately said: "Let Yuan Chonghuan hold on to Jizhou to the death. The capital is the foundation of the country and cannot fall into the hands of thieves. How can I face my ancestors!"
Li Jin looked at the chaos in the capital gradually, thought to himself for a moment and walked out of the inn.
Halfway through the journey, he noticed someone following him, and immediately dodged into the crowd. The two people following him lost sight of Li Jin for a moment, looked at each other, turned around and ran towards their gathering place.
However, they did not realize that there was a pair of eyes peering at them in the dark. After the two left, Li Jin followed them.
After passing through the noisy street, the two entered a narrow alley. Li Jin caught up with him at the entrance of the alley, and was suddenly stunned because he found several eyes falling on him, and he immediately turned around and left.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a luxurious carriage appearing in the noisy market. Just as Li Jin was about to take a closer look, a group of figures in armor walked around the market and surrounded it, protecting the carriage.
Then they disappeared together.
Li Jin could only leave, but he did not dare to act rashly in the capital.
Qian'an
Mao Wenlong looked at the frozen river and said with a smile: "God help me!"
"Kill me!"
Just when I was halfway through the journey, I heard a shout from the tower: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"It's bad there's an ambush!"
Before Mao Wenlong could finish speaking, a cannonball roared and hit the river. With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the ice. As the Ming army stepped onto the ice, the ice instantly split into pieces, and then one by one appeared.
The army splashed in the cold river water and finally disappeared on the river.
Mao Wenlong watched the Jin soldiers at the city gate shoot the Ming soldiers in the water one by one. His face was full of anger. Looking at Erbei on the city tower, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will kill you!"
Looking at the more than a thousand people who had folded in, he hit the tree stump with his clenched fist. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered the men and horses he organized to walk towards the surrounding mountains and forests, rolling logs one by one along the way.
It rolled down the mountain road, and the entire mountain road was piled with rolling wood.
Erbeile, who was standing at the gate of the city, looked at their actions and smiled coldly.
This was exactly what he wanted to achieve, to delay Mao Wenlong's march. He knew that relying on his own strength would be difficult to stop Mao Wenlong's tens of thousands of troops, so his strategy was to delay, and Qian'an County was only the first link in his design.
.
Mao Wenlong collected all the ropes, but instead of using them to build a bridge, he tied them together tightly and pushed them towards the river. The Ming army on the river bank looked at the raft floating in the water, holding up a shield and trembling
stepped onto the raft.
When the defenders of Qian'an saw the Ming army pouring all their long-range weapons on the Ming army, the Ming army gritted their teeth and rushed towards Qian'an City.
After paying a huge price, the Ming army finally reached the city wall.
At the foot of Jizhou City, Yuan Chonghuan, covered in mud, struggled to arrive before the Jin soldiers. He mobilized all his military forces non-stop, preparing for a showdown here. Looking at the unconscious Man Gui and Qin Liangyu, Yuan Chonghuan immediately summoned his confidant General Zu.
Happy birthday.
However, the news was like a bolt from the blue: Zu Dashou lost contact with the team. Hearing this bad news, Yuan Chonghuan showed a touch of sadness on his face, because he knew that at this time, he had either fallen into the hands of the Jin or had already died in the battle.
In Huang Taiji's military camp, everyone looked at Zu Dashou who was covered in blood. Huang Taiji ordered his subordinates: "Be sure to save him!"
"Hey!" He Kegang looked at Zu Dashou lying on the ground, with a look of surprise on his face, and shouted in a low voice: "General Zu!"
"General Zu!" Zu Dashou woke up faintly and saw He Kegang.
He was panting, and the corners of his mouth were moving, as if he was saying something. However, He Kegang didn't hear a single word clearly, and suddenly saw Zu Dashou slightly raising his hand, picking up the stone on the side, and using his last strength to smash it hard
My own head!
"General Ancestor!" He Kegang's face was filled with tears as he watched the red and white things flow all over the floor.
This scene shocked the entire camp. Jin soldiers walked in one after another with surprise on their faces. When Huang Taiji saw this scene, he sighed heavily and said, "Take it down and bury it!"
"Kill me!" He Kegang roared suddenly emotionally.
However, Huang Taiji just ordered in a cold voice: "Be sure to keep strict guard. If there is any problem, I will ask you!"
