Meng Zhaoxiang felt vaguely uneasy when he saw Li Yuan and Guan Ning's army continuing to chase the intruders in the direction where they escaped. However, in an instant they had chased them several miles away, and he was really angry with Li Yuan.
Do you really think that the intruders are just a bunch of fools? They sent a mere three thousand cavalry to attack the city? They just retreated without fighting you. Even a fool could see that it was a trap. As a general soldier, he actually committed such a crime.
Low level error.
But at the moment, there is no other way. He can only take the three thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp and follow them to provide a cover for them, so that they can take care of them if the intruders attack.
But he also kept an eye on it and immediately ordered a close aide to tell His Majesty the news immediately. She sighed, no longer hesitated and immediately led the soldiers from the Beijing camp to follow.
…
"My lord, please, please don't do this!"
Here, Wang Chengen was holding Zhu Ling's leg tightly and wailing loudly, refusing to let him take a step forward.
"Let go! Wang Daban, I order you to let go!" Zhu Ling tried hard to pull out his leg, but Wang Chengen was too strong, and he couldn't leave for so long.
Even though Wang Chengen was given a verbal order to let him go, he still refused to let go as if he was stubborn.
"Your Majesty, I beg you! The battle at Tumubao really frightened the servants and ministers. If you go to the battlefield and I can't protect you, what should I do?"
Wang Cheng'en was already in tears at this time. He closed his eyes and refused to let go, which made Zhu Ling very angry.
When did I lose control of a eunuch?
"Your Majesty, if you insist on leaving, please kill this servant first!" Seeing His Majesty's struggle becoming more and more intense, Wang Cheng'en gradually became unable to control himself and immediately begged.
"Where is the high literary talent?"
Zhu Ling shouted, and suddenly a man flew up and knocked Wang Chengen unconscious with a knife, and then Zhu Ling finally broke free.
Looking at Wang Chengen who fainted, there were still a few tears on his face, but he really had no choice. If he really wanted to conquer this Guan Ning army, he must first share the joys and sorrows with it, and if he shared food and accommodation on the way south, the effect would be
Obviously there are limitations, and as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most effective way for the soldiers below is to go into battle together to kill the enemy.
Is there any hot-blooded scene that can compare to when you, as a soldier, are facing a desperate situation, and the person you used to admire and fear suddenly appears next to you and fights alongside you?
Putting on armor is not just for going to the city tower to beat drums and cheers, but also to go out of the city in person to kill the enemy with Guan Ning's army!
However, as a science student who came from time to time, he is naturally not good at swordsmanship. However, Gao Wencai has already thought of a risky way, which is to select a hundred dead men to protect His Majesty all the time and surround Him. If
At the critical moment, these dead soldiers must protect His Majesty with their lives.
"Is the silver tael for the dead soldiers enough? It's not enough. I still have a few thousand taels in my inner palace, so I'll give them all together."
Zhu Ling sent someone to send Wang Chengen back to the palace, and he took Gao Wencai and hundreds of dead soldiers to ride out of the city. On the way, he was very concerned about the pensions of these dead soldiers.
After all, these people went there with almost the determination to die, and there was a high possibility that they would never come back. As their monarch, if they were not properly settled after their death, they would have to bear the guilt for the rest of their lives.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the money they deserve has been sent home. Five hundred taels and one penny per person is quite a lot." Gao Wencai held the reins and controlled the speed of the horse behind Zhu Ling.
"That's good, where is Wang Guoxing? He was seriously injured that day and was recuperating at his house. I've been very busy these days and I really don't have time to go see him." I also remembered that when Luo Yangxing rebelled, Wang Guoxing was seriously injured.
He was sent back to the mansion to recuperate that day. According to Wang Chengen, he slept until today before he had any reaction.
He was stabbed more than a dozen times on his body, and his chest and head were severely injured. He was lucky not to die.
"Your Majesty, the king's commander is in much better health, but he still needs to rest for some time. His wife and children are taking good care of him, so he should be fine."
"It's fine, it's nothing serious."
It seems that Wang Guoxing can only stay in the capital.
As he said that, Zhu Ling saw Meng Zhaoxiang's confidant running wildly at the gate of Chaoyang Gate. The confidant held up a long sword and kept shouting: "The governor of the capital camp has something to tell your majesty, and no one else can stop him."
With this sentence, neither officials nor common people dared to block the way.
But by chance, they met Zhu Ling and others who were also speeding on the road. The two groups almost collided with each other. However, Zhu Ling did not notify Shuntian Prefecture Yin and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division when he left the city, and his armor did not have bright yellow clothing.
The person did not use the name "Your Majesty". The common people and the officials passing by just thought he was some powerful adult.
Naturally, this confidant did not recognize that the person blocking his way was His Majesty. Because this military information was extremely urgent, he immediately yelled: "Get out of here! I have urgent military information, and you can't afford it with a hundred heads if I delay something big."
rise!"
"Insolent! How dare a mere general to do this with..." Gao Wencai's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he was about to scold this confidant when he was stopped by Zhu Ling.
He also knew the importance of military intelligence, but he did not want to reveal his identity, lest the ministers in the court would know that there was another overwhelming remonstrance. This remonstrance was not only unacceptable to the ancient emperor, but also to him as a modern man.
He directly took out the Wangming chess card. When the confidant saw this thing, he then looked at Zhu Ling. Because Zhu Ling had visited the capital camp many times before and had some impressions, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly dismounted and knelt down to confess.
"No need, tell me, is there any urgent military situation?"
"Reporting to your majesty, my governor ordered me to tell your majesty that General Li was ambushed by intruders. At this moment, he is leading the Beijing camp to cover General Li. I hope that your majesty will make preparations to respond to the enemy as soon as he knows the news. Now all the troops in the capital are
We were lured away by the intruders. If the intruders attack the city at this moment, they will definitely be defeated!"
The confidant wanted to kneel down and report, but after receiving Zhu Ling's signal, he bowed and spoke in a deep voice.
After listening to his report, Zhu Ling's face immediately darkened. There was good news today, but now such bad news suddenly came. Is God playing tricks on Daming?
Gao Wencai beside him couldn't help frowning. He knew very well the importance of Guan Ning's army and the Beijing camp army. One was to make the intruders dare not act rashly, and the other was the last barrier for the capital. If this happened
If the two armies were ambushed and wiped out, then the capital, or the Ming Dynasty, would be in a desperate situation again!
"What happened to Li Yuan? It's useless! Why did Wu Sangui choose such an ignorant person to serve as the king?" Zhu Ling suddenly became furious and cursed regardless of the situation in the street.
This was also the first time he got angry and cursed people in the street after traveling through time.
Even if the Guan Ning Army is Zhu Ling's favorite army, if a general like Li Yuan who knows no soldiers is allowed to lead him deep into danger and eventually be annihilated, he will only be furious for a while, but if his Beijing Camp Army together with Meng Zhaoxiang
And died in battle, then it would not be too much for Li Yuan to be cut into pieces with a thousand swords!
"Follow me!"
Zhu Ling did not hesitate to catch up, feeling sad for what was about to happen to Meng Zhaoxiang and the Beijing camp army.
"Your Majesty, if they are ambushed, we must not go! We will only die!" Gao Wencai was very calm at the moment and hurriedly dissuaded Zhu Ling who was in anger.
"I am not willing to accept that such an elite must perish like this!"
Li Yuan led his army in hot pursuit of Liu Zongmin's three thousand cavalry. The chase scene was extremely shocking. At this moment, he had no fear in his heart about the so-called ambush of the intruders.
Once, General Cao Wenzhao led a thousand men to chase down a hundred thousand rebels. Even though they were surrounded later, they successfully broke through. He had ten times the strength of the rebels. Can the rebels have one million? I'm afraid ten times in a row.
Not twice as much.
The bravery of his predecessors gave him invincible confidence, but he forgot the most important variable: the generals on both sides were different.
Not far ahead, iron chains were buried on the ground in the dust, quietly waiting for the arrival of Li Yuan and his 10,000 Guan Ning troops...
