Everyone was almost holding their breath at this moment, waiting for the attack of the intruders. Some officials' family members were even so frightened that they sobbed directly. They only thought that the crisis was coming, and they would be dead and dismembered in a moment.
Some people even blamed him for traveling south this time. After staying so comfortable in the capital, he had to take risks and leave the city. What should he do now when he is surrounded by the invading army? But because His Majesty is here, no one dares to speak out and can only complain silently in his heart.
After Zhu Cixiang learned about this, he immediately took his two younger brothers and sister to Queen Zhou's carriage. He then wanted to go out to assist his father, but was stopped by Queen Zhou.
"The crisis is imminent, what is the emperor going to do?"
"Because the crisis is imminent, the child should assist his father to calm people's hearts." After Zhu Cihong said this, he pushed aside the obstruction and jumped out of the carriage. Even the Queen Zhou behind her seemed to have not heard the words to stop her.
At this moment, looking at the 20,000 intruders moving in the distance, Zhu Ling felt particularly nervous. Looking at the intruders getting closer and closer, holding the sword on his waist, he also started to sweat a little.
"How many bows and crossbows do we have?"
"Your Majesty, if we are to deal with a temporary enemy, these arrows are more than enough, but if we have to face an army of tens of thousands, they may not be enough." Wang Jiayan said with a worried face. In fact, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was the most embarrassed at the moment.
Although he was a powerful figure in charge of the Ming Dynasty's army, at such a critical moment, the general did not listen to the announcement and the soldiers did not obey the order.
This was already the case in the Ming Dynasty. The southbound team was only escorted by an army of King Qin, followed by only Jin Yiwei and some personal guards. Such a miserable situation really looked like an exile.
"Just hold on! As long as you hold on to Yang Kuo and come forward, we can be saved." Zhu Ling had a lot of thoughts flashing through his mind at this time, thinking about how to retreat and defend the enemy.
But after thinking about it, with this huge numerical advantage, it seems that all the tricks will be in vain.
Just as Zhu Ling was leading the southbound troops to prepare to defend against the enemy, Yang Kuo also led the army with the highest attitude to charge towards the surrounded cavalry led by Li Guo.
Li Guo was about to turn back with his men and horses, but suddenly there was a sound of killing in his ears. He looked around in fear, only to find that thousands of Guan Ning's cavalry suddenly appeared in several directions around him!
These Guan Ning cavalry were shouting and roaring as they charged towards him. He was immediately frightened and panicked. Such an earth-shattering sound of fighting even frightened their horses, and many of them began to become restless.
.
But this time Li Guo was obviously frightened by the army that suddenly surrounded him. For a moment, he did not take command immediately. The two generals behind him immediately shouted to their commander:
"General! What should we do?"
"General, we are surrounded, do you want to retreat?"
But at this time, Li Guo was obviously at a loss. He was surprised and filled with a lot of unwillingness and anger. He was obviously well prepared for this battle, and he was forced to issue a military order, but now he was surrounded by the opponent.
.
After thinking for a moment in fear, Li Guo gritted his teeth and looked at the approaching Guan Ning cavalry. He pulled out his long knife and shouted at the charging Guan Ning army: "Kill them!"
Immediately, he took the lead and rushed forward with his army. Immediately, the two armies suddenly collided together, causing large casualties almost instantly at that moment.
Guan Ning's cavalry carried a bow and a three-eyed gun. When approaching the intruders, everyone immediately took out the three-eyed gun and started shooting. Facing such a large number of enemies, no matter how bad their marksmanship was, they could almost hit the opponent.
The Guan Ning army behind them could even draw their bows, tilt them slightly and shoot arrows into the sky.
There is no doubt that when the two armies rushed together, a large number of intruders were shot and killed, and countless people died under the three-eyed gun without being able to escape. The intruders who were surrounded in the rear faced the sudden attack.
The heavy cavalry charged at them, but they seemed to have no ability to react. What's more, their combat quality was not as good as that of Guan Ning's cavalry. Once they faced them head-on, they would suffer a crushing defeat.
A large area of the intruders was killed and fell off their horses, and was immediately trampled into a pulp by the large number of cavalry coming from behind. More and more intruders were surrounded, and almost countless Guan Ning cavalry were killed around them with their swords.
come over.
Guan Ning's army almost caused heavy casualties to the enemy in an instant through this fighting method, and then brought up the close combat. In this way, a large number of enemies in the rear became fearful of war before the battle.
Facing the tiger-wolf-like Guan Ning army, he instantly became like a lamb to be slaughtered and was killed one after another.
In an instant, a large number of intruders died under the horses, and even the corpses were trampled into flesh by the horses. It was impossible to tell who it was. The sound of fighting and the clash of swords sounded almost at the same time, but they continued continuously.
Li Guo first dodged an arrow and slashed at Guan Ningjun's body with full anger. He was unwilling and filled with despair. Every stab seemed to prove that he was still in this world.
Even though all the guards around him were killed one by one, and the screams were endless, Li Guo was still fighting hard to kill the enemy. A stream of blood was sprinkled in the air, but he didn't know that he had been slashed in the back.
Yang Kuo was closely followed by several personal guards. He had already ordered his men to capture the generals of the invading army first, and capture the thieves and the king first. Moreover, the momentum of the invading army had dropped sharply. Their long-distance attack finally came to nothing.
, even there is not much strength left.
His Majesty promised yesterday that he would give them a chance to fight head-on, but now he is leading a large army to surround them. Isn't it easy to get such a favorable situation?
"Sir, the enemy general has been discovered!"
After one of the bodyguards shouted, Yang Kuo immediately ran over following the sound, followed closely by several bodyguards. Only then did they realize that Li Guo had been stabbed several times and that the surrounding soldiers had surrounded him.
But looking at him, he looked a bit crazy. He was waving the knife randomly and looked completely crazy.
Seeing the miserable state of the enemy general, Yang Kuo felt that his great revenge had been avenged. The siege in the past had been retaliated, and the surrounding area had been cleared. Many intruders took advantage of the chaos and simply dropped their swords and turned around to run away. He did not order anyone to pursue him.
.
These deserters are completely useless to them, but will become a burden. It is better to let them go and send the news of the defeat back to the main camp. By then, even if they have not fought with them, they will feel scared.
"Someone, tie him up!"
The leader of the intruders has become like this, so he simply catches him, maybe it will be of some use.
After receiving the order, several soldiers around him immediately saw the opportunity and snatched the long sword from his hand, and then swarmed up in an instant, pressing Li Guo under him, and then someone handed him a rope to tie his hands.
Li Guo was like a crazy madman. Even with his hands tied, he was shouting, his eyes were red, and drool was drooling from the corners of his mouth, all of which was stained on his clothes. If he hadn't been wearing a general's clothes, he would have been mistaken for
The new recruits were frightened by them.
"Sir, this man seems to have gone crazy." One of the guards looked at Li Guo's appearance and shook his head.
"It's better to be crazy, so as not to cause trouble for us."
At this time, almost half of the intruders had been killed and injured. Some of them died, some surrendered, and some ran away when the situation was not good, without caring about the brothers behind them. On the other hand, the number of casualties in Guan Ning's cavalry in this battle was only a few dozen.
, most of the people were covered in blood, but it was all the blood of the enemy.
This battle can be described as a great victory. More than 8,000 enemies were killed, and the casualties were no more than ten. Such a glorious victory can be regarded as the first great victory in the past year!
"Hurry up and tell your majesty the report of the great victory. Tell your Majesty that our army has won a great victory! Capture the enemy general alive!"
As soon as Yang Kuo finished speaking, a voice came from behind him: "General Yang, I won't use it for now."
Looking around with doubts, he saw Gao Wencai, the royal guard next to His Majesty, sweating profusely, riding over with several people on horseback, and immediately asked: "Why not use it?"
"General Yang!"
Gao Wencai hurriedly dismounted, came to Yang Kuo, and whispered: "Your Majesty is surrounded by intruders!"
