The last bonfire in the Dashun military camp was extinguished, and the entire military camp suddenly fell into darkness and became as silent as death.
However, when you get closer, you will find that the Dashun military camp is not peaceful at all.
I saw the Dashun cavalrymen in full uniform emerging from the felt bags, and the horses were led over one by one, and these horses were all saddled.
The air is filled with tension.
But it didn't make too much noise.
Only the war horses snorted occasionally.
"Brother." Li Mou walked to Li Yan and asked, "Guan Ningjun won't play tricks on us, right?"
"No." Li Yan was tightening the leather belt of his war horse, and said without raising his head when he heard this, "It will not benefit Guan Ning's army in any way, and it will not cause any loss to us."
While he was talking, Li Nian came over on a war horse and said, "Brother, the soldiers are ready."
Li Yan hummed, then got on his horse and took out two monocular telescopes from the leather bag.
Almost at the moment Li Yan took out his telescope, the west bank of the Baihe River next to the Ming army camp suddenly became noisy, and then a large number of torches were lit and thrown to the other bank.
"Brother, Guan Ningjun has taken action!"
Li Mou and Li Nian cheered up and looked up at the east bank of the Baihe River.
Li Yan also raised his telescope to the east bank of the Baihe River and adjusted the focus. Soon, a slightly dark battlefield scene came into Li Yan's eyes, which he could barely see clearly.
With the help of the torches that the Ming army kept throwing towards the other side of the river,
You can see that two groups of Yiding have rushed into the Baihe River. They were fast at first, but their speed soon slowed down.
Li Yan moved his field of view slightly to the left and aimed at the Ming army camp on the west bank. At this moment, dazzling flames suddenly bloomed in the field of view of the telescope.
Along with the extremely dazzling fire, there was a huge roar coming from afar.
Obviously, the musketeers from the Ming Army Firearms Battalion had already started firing muskets.
The Ming army's firearms were still very powerful, and the Dashun army also suffered heavy losses!
Li Yan turned his sight back to the east bank, and saw that the Guan Ning cavalry that had just rushed into the river had already turned upside down, and some cavalrymen fell off their horses.
There were even war horses overturned in the river.
What followed was a huge roar of horses neighing and people boiling.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but secretly feel happy.
Fortunately, it was not the Dashun army that stormed the Ming army's camp, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss.
Li Mou also felt a little scared: "You are a thief, the firearms of the Ming army are really not for show."
Li Nian said: "The main reason is that Guan Ning's army did not bring oars and shields, otherwise the losses would not have been so great. In the Battle of Tongguan, didn't our Dashun Army rely on oars, shields and bows to destroy Sun Chuanting's firearms camp?"
The battle continued, and the Ming army continued to take turns firing guns.
I saw dazzling flames blooming in rows, and the Guan Ning cavalry wading in the water fell off their horses one by one.
In just a moment, the hundreds of Guan Ning cavalrymen who entered the first wave of attack were already reduced to a handful.
However, Guan Ning's army was indeed fierce. Seeing that the first wave of wading sneak attacks failed, they immediately deployed more cavalry to launch a strong attack. At the same time, more cavalry were left on the east bank of the Baihe River to suppress the Ming army's firearms with bows and arrows.
Zhu Gaoyuan did not explain much. He turned around and waved: "Gao Daban, come here."
After getting up and down, I felt that my bones were four ounces lighter. Then I came to Zhu Gaoyuan and said, "Long live the Lord, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you?"
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to die for me?"
Zhu Gaoyuan said calmly: "Now the opportunity has come."
"Ah?" Gao Qiqian was immediately stunned. What did he say?
When I said I would die for you just now, I was just showing my attitude. I didn't really want to die for you.
"Why, you don't want to anymore?" Zhu Gaoyuan's expression turned cold and he said coldly, "Repent?"
He got up and knelt down again with a bang, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Long live Lord, have mercy on me, have mercy on me, I want to serve Long live Lord for another hundred years, I don't want to die now!"
"It's too late, you should know Jun Wuxiyan!"
Zhu Gaoyuan shouted coldly: "Wang Daban, give Eunuch Gao some armor!"
Wang Chengen immediately came forward with several eunuchs and forced Gao Qi to wear the mountain armor.
Zhu Gaoyuan took off his pocket bag from his head and put it on for Gao Qiqian himself, and also pulled down his visor.
"Listen up, Gao Daban." Zhu Gaoyuan said, "If you do as I say later, after your death, I will posthumously make you the eunuch king, and make one of your nephews the prince of the country!"
"But if you dare to do bad things, I will definitely kill the ten members of your Gao family!"
Zhu Gaoyuan's voice seemed to come out from between his teeth, with a bone-chilling chill.
Hu Xinshui stood nearby and could feel the biting coldness.
Gao Qiqian was so frightened that his teeth chattered: "Old slave, slave slave..."
Zhu Gaoyuan no longer wanted to hear Gao Qiqian's reply, so he waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Help Eunuch Gao get on the horse!"
Wang Chengen immediately took the young eunuch to help Gao Qiqian onto the horse. In order to prevent Gao Qiqian from falling from the horse, Wang Chengen simply fixed Gao Qiqian to the saddle with a hemp rope.
…
In the northwest corner of the Ming army camp.
Li Mou said: "Brother, the Ming army is about to be unable to withstand it."
Li Nian said: "Guan Ning's army is indeed powerful. It was able to attack the Ming army's camp across the river."
"Yes, Guan Ning's army is indeed very powerful, but there are not many left." Li Yan looked at the Ming army camp that was gradually calming down and said, "After all, they are just making wedding clothes for others!"
Li Mou said: "Brother, should we attack now?"
"There's no rush." Li Yan waved his hand, "Let's let the Gongtu tribe go first."
Li Nian said: "This is like the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind. In the end, it is our Dashun army that wins."
Li Mou said: "What if the Gongtu tribe doesn't move? After all, they also know that our Dashun Army is nearby, right?"
Li Yan said: "It is impossible that the Gongtu tribe will not take action. They will not just watch Guan Ning's army capture Chongzhen. If Chongzhen returns to the pass, nothing will happen to them, haha."
While the three brothers were talking, a chime suddenly sounded not far ahead.
"Mingdi!" Li Mou's expression changed and he shouted, "Brother, it's our night!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several groups of fire suddenly burst out on the grassland to the west of the Ming army's camp. However, it was the thieves lurking there who lit the torch and threw it towards the target.
By the light of the fire, we could clearly see dozens of cavalry rushing out of the Ming army camp.
It seems that they want to pass between the camps of Dashun Army and Gongtu Department.
"Shan Wenjia!" Li Nian shouted, "Chongzhen! It must be Chongzhen!"
"We can't let Chongzhen escape!" Li Mou yelled and rushed forward on horseback.
Li Yan only hesitated for a moment before Li Nian and Li Mou rushed forward with their troops.
Almost at the same time, the sound of horses neighing and people boiling could be heard in the camp of the Gongtu tribe opposite.
