The shouts of killing outside the Funing Guards were loud for a while, and the two armies finally moved. The Tatars arranged the servant infantry in the middle, but their elite cavalry scattered to the two wings. In Yuan Chonghuan's view, the Tatars
They want to hold themselves back, and then let their cavalry complete the final encirclement.
"Soldiers! The time has come to serve the country! Come with me!" Knowing the enemy's intentions, Yuan Chonghuan had to act according to the Tatars' ideas. After all, the cavalry in this era still had a great advantage over the infantry. And he himself
It is simply a dream for this tired army to compete with the elite Tatars.
Anyway, we have already collided with each other. We will definitely not be able to escape if we run. Being able to kill more enemy bandits can be regarded as giving me, Da Mingduo, more hope of victory! I still don’t believe that the Tatars can ride horses without infantry.
Hop onto Beijing City!
"Defeat the Ming people and fight back to Liaodong!" The Tatars' slogan was very special, and their attack was even more unique. The elite cavalry on both sides ignored the servants in the middle, and the forwards had already passed the Guan Ning army without stopping.
Just leave like that!
"Surrender! Surrender! We surrender!"
Seeing that the masters abandoned me and ran away without a trace, the servant army also stopped working. Damn it, this is simply not treating us as human beings. Anyway, there is no supervising team and they just surrender!
"Stop advancing!" Yuan Chonghuan, who was leading his army into the Tatar camp, was slashing and killing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He could so easily overwhelm the enemy's army. What was going on? He was fighting against the Tatars.
This is the first time in so many years that I have encountered such an inexplicable encounter.
"Director Yuan, what's wrong?" Wang Dai'en didn't understand military affairs. In his opinion, he had finally overcome the enemy's obstruction. Even if there was only one person left, he should return to the capital as soon as possible to help.
"See for yourself!" Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the Tatar servant army kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Ah?" Wang Dain was also dumbfounded. He originally thought that he would definitely go back with his life this time. However, not only did he break through the enemy siege, but he was also able to capture so many Tatar soldiers?
"Master Superintendent, what kind of battle is this?" The victory came so suddenly that even the generals in Guan Ning's army could not accept it. Seventy thousand tired soldiers faced the menacing main force of hundreds of thousands of Tatars.
The army was destroyed, but it was a complete victory. Could it be that the Tatars were short of food recently and came all the way to dump the burden on us?
"Gather all the prisoners for me! Send someone to report the victory to the capital!" Anyway, those Tatars have been abnormal in recent years. No matter what their purpose is, we have won a big victory this time and have enough confidence to return to the capital.
As for why they came to our Ming Dynasty to burn, kill and loot, not only did they not take away anyone, but they left so many strong men behind, that is really not something that can be understood at once.
"Brother Emperor, can you still hold on?" After leaving the capital, Zhu Youcong was very unhappy. As an emperor, why don't you stay in Beijing properly, clean up the mess, and follow me around? Just do it like that.
That old man Li Guopu stayed in the capital and led thousands of guards. Aren't you afraid of rebellion?
"Brother, it's okay!" Chongzhen really saw what a gap is along the way. This new army is simply too powerful. Needless to say, it goes without saying that they are well-equipped, but no one can compare to them in terms of physical fitness.
The thousand guards he brought with him were really embarrassing. If they hadn't all been riding on the best horses selected from thousands of people in the palace, they would have been left behind not long after they left the capital. Even so, they were still exhausted.
Although he couldn't afford his waist, he was not like the real elites who had only two legs to go up to now. However, Chongzhen didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't shamelessly wanted to ride with Zhu Youcong after leaving the capital.
It will definitely be even more unbearable!
"Good news! Good news!" Shi Guoxiang, who was responsible for exploring the road ahead, suddenly ran back.
Chongzhen and Zhu Youcong looked at each other and felt very strange. "Good news? We haven't caught up with the Tatars yet. Where can we get good news?"...
"Returning to the emperor, what a victory! The Tatars met Guan Ning's army in front, and after a great battle, we managed to capture nearly one hundred thousand prisoners!" Shi Guoxiang's reconnaissance camp encountered the victory sent by Yuan Chonghuan just an hour later.
The envoy, at first glance, everyone seemed to know each other. He quickly called people back to report that the emperor was personally marching, and asked them to prepare in front to welcome the emperor. After arranging everything, he turned around and came back to report the good news.
"What? Guan Ningjun?" Chongzhen was angry. I finally took advantage of this opportunity and was about to enjoy it, but someone else took the lead. It would be better to say that the others were better, but if it weren't for this Yuan Chonghuan, the Tatars
Can he easily reach the capital? It's better this time. He dragged his feet and refused to return reinforcements, but instead took such a huge advantage!
"Where did the remaining troops of the Tatars go?" Zhu Youcong was even more depressed. If it weren't for his imperial brother holding him back, half of the main Tatar forces would have snickered if they could escape Yongping Mansion. How could they have had their turn?
Let others clean up the remnants of the enemy for you? However, this is not the most important thing. Judging from the battle under the city of Beijing, these people captured by Yuan Chonghuan are probably just servants. The Tatars will not care about these people and must do it as soon as possible
Catch up with their main force and beat them hard.
"Back to the general, the main force of the Tatars is now rushing to Shanhaiguan, and the general has sent people to follow." Shi Guoxiang didn't think anything. After all, he was once a member of Guan Ning's army, and there were hundreds of thousands of Tatars.
Well, it doesn't matter if you give these former brothers a little as a greeting gift.
"Brother Emperor, how about I take the first step, and you and Yuan Chonghuan's army will come later?" We can't delay it any longer. After passing Shanhaiguan, we will reach Liaodong. Who knows what the Tatars will do by then? We must take advantage of this last good opportunity.
, try to eliminate them as much as possible.
"No, no!" Chongzhen's head shook like a rattle. Even if I don't have a chance to perform under the city of Beijing, I can bear it if Yuan Chonghuan took away my great achievements just now. But seeing that the Tatars have all gone to Shanhaiguan,
If you don't let me show off, are we still brothers?
"But..." You are an emperor after all, how can you be so unreasonable? Believe it or not, you have offended me and asked someone to kidnap you back to Beijing?
"Why don't I ask Gao Doushu to lead the palace guards to meet Yuan Chonghuan and then chase us?" Chongzhen was also afraid that the Tatars would run out of the customs. He was busy now and had no intention of sneaking to such a far place.
go.
"Okay! That's it!" Looking at Chongzhen's eyes full of expectation, Zhu Youcong couldn't bear to refuse. "Give the order, and the whole army will advance lightly! Shi Guoxiang, tell Guan Ningjun in front and tell them to get out of the way.
The highway must not hinder the march of our army!"
As the order was issued, the soldiers of Zhu Youcong's army quickly unpacked their large backpacks, threw away all unnecessary things, and accelerated their march.
"How are these guys trained?" Looking at the army leaving, Gao Doushu, who has been following Zhu Youcong since Baoding, constantly discovered the unusual features of this army. Their weird costumes, advanced
With his weapons, powerful physique, and morale that never seems to dry up, I really can’t think of anyone else in the world who can compare with him.
"Look at me! You still have the nerve to call yourself the elite of the army?" Xiao Changlin, who had been with him during the period of Chongzhen and King Xin, wanted to throw his men directly to Shanhaiguan.
"General Xiao, please don't blame the soldiers!" Gao Doushu comforted Xiao Changlin while leading his men to pick up the backpacks on the roadside. It's okay. Why are you fighting with others? Are they comparable to ordinary people like us?
"Master Supervisor, what do you mean?" If the generals in Guan Ning's army hadn't looked at Yuan Chonghuan's face, they would have almost dragged Shi Guoxiang off his horse and beat him up. He told us to get out of the way and not block him.
Said? You’ve only been following Marshal Sun for a few years, and you’re already so arrogant?….
"What else can there be? Hasn't the imperial edict been made very clear? Implement it as soon as possible!" Yuan Chonghuan was still worried that the emperor would cause trouble for him; not to mention that he also learned some facts from Shi Guoxiang's words just now.
"Do you know why we won so easily just now?"
"Why?" Several general soldiers who stayed behind to wait for further orders were also puzzled. If the Tatars were full and had nothing to do, they could only hear it as a joke.
"Because it was this army that scared the Tatars at the gates of Beijing. Under their pursuit, the Tatars were busy running for their lives!" Fifty thousand people defeated hundreds of thousands of Tatars with high morale, and even chased them.
He doesn't even look back, and he doesn't dare to fight when he encounters people like himself. Is that true?
"What?" Several general soldiers suspected that they had heard wrongly, or that Governor Yuan was in a good mood after his victory and was teasing people like them. I had never heard of Tatars being too scared to dare.
Fighting, which battle did they not rush forward one by one with red eyes? Even the servants, no one dared to retreat under the threat of the supervising team.
"Superintendent, look! It's the Yellow Dragon Flag. The Emperor is really here!" Wang Dai'en could not do anything else, but he was very familiar with the flag that represented the emperor's identity. However, no emperor has ever left the capital since Zhengde. Now,
In the end what happened?
"It's really the Yellow Dragon Banner!" The soldiers of Guan Ning's army hurried to the roadside, kowtowed to greet them. It had only been a long time since the messenger had passed, and the army that followed had arrived. Could it be that they were not far away just now? There really were those Tatars.
Maybe we were chased by them and ran away. This is good, we will follow the emperor back to the outside of the pass!
"Yuan Aiqing, thank you for your hard work. You guys need to rest here first, and then join the baggage troops behind and catch up again!" Chongzhen felt that there were all his veterans in front of him, and it would be too embarrassing to ride with Zhu Youcong again. He had to switch to riding
On his royal horse, he briefly explained two sentences to Yuan Chonghuan.
"I obey the order!" Looking at the army that kept running past him, Yuan Chonghuan began to believe what Shi Guoxiang said just now. The world has really changed. When did he ever see infantry chasing cavalry? If not for the Tatars
If you are afraid of being beaten by them, will you let them hang by your tail and not fight back?
