Less than half an hour later, the first trace of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky.
The Gongtu Division finally couldn't hold on after losing a quarter of its cavalry.
The most precious and difficult to replenish resource on the grassland is population resources.
For a small tribe like the Gongtu tribe, once too many strong men are lost, the survival of the entire tribe will face a huge crisis, so revenge is nothing.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Boritie China decisively ordered a retreat.
When Boritiechna's Sulu Ding fell, Gongtu's cavalry immediately dispersed.
"Want to run away? There's no way out!" Li Mou got excited and shouted, picking up his silver spear and chasing after him.
"Second brother is back, don't chase him!" Li Yan stopped him urgently, "Our target is Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise we will fight to the death."
"It's an advantage for you!" Li Mou spit thick phlegm at the back of Bo Ri Tie Chi Na, then rode back to Li Yan and said with a smile, "Brother, we won."
Li Nian also said: "Yes, we won."
Li Yan waved his hand and asked Li Mou: "Where is Chongzhen?"
Li Mou turned around and waved, shouting: "Bring Chongzhen up!"
At that moment, two thieves escorted Chongzhen and walked forward.
One of the thieves even took it upon himself to pull off Doucho's visor.
"It was finally a worthwhile trip, and it finally lived up to the Lord's expectations..."
There was a hint of smile on Li Yan's face, and his eyes swept over Chongzhen's face. However, the next moment, the smile on Li Yan's face froze, and his unfinished words stopped abruptly.
"Brother, why didn't you say anything?" Li Mou asked.
Li Nian seemed to realize something, and turned his head sharply to look at Chongzhen.
The next moment, the smile on Li Nian's face froze. No beard? This is not Chongzhen!
"Third brother, what's wrong with you? What the hell?" Li Mou waved his hand in front of Li Nian. Seeing that Li Nian had no reaction, he reined in his horse and turned around, turning his attention to Chongzhen.
Then, Li Mou was also stunned for a moment.
"It's strange." Li Mou said, "Why don't you have a beard? It doesn't look like him."
"What does it look like? This is not Chongzhen at all!" Li Nian shouted sternly, "This is just a eunuch!"
"We fell into the Guan Ning Army's golden cicada escape plan!" Li Yan said solemnly, "They made a fake Chongzhen to provoke a melee between us and the Gongtu tribe, but they escaped with the real Chongzhen."
"What a scheming plan. Guan Ningjun has already planned this."
"Brother, don't worry, they can't escape." After speaking, Li Mou reined in his horse and turned around.
Then the next second, Li Mou also froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
Li Yan and Li Nian turned around suddenly, and their pupils suddenly shrank.
In the thin morning light that had just dispersed, I saw a fully armed cavalry standing outside the river bend like a ghost. Even the most conservative estimate is that there are at least a thousand cavalry!
"This is?" Li Nian said in disbelief, "Guan Ningjun?"
After Guan Ning's army captured Chongzhen, they did not escape, but instead formed an array outside the protective wall?
"Impossible!" Li Mou said flatly, "Guan Ning's army suffered heavy losses in the battle to attack the Ming army's camp. It would be good if there are only three to four hundred cavalry left. How can there be so many?"
But Li Yan suddenly understood and said: "Yes, they are Guan Ningjun!"
"Ah?" Li Nian and Li Mou turned back in astonishment and looked at Li Yan with dumbfounded eyes.
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "It seems that we did not fall into Guan Ningjun's plan to escape from the golden cicada, but clearly fell into Chongzhen's plan to conceal the truth and kill people with a borrowed knife!"
"Ah? Hiding the truth from the sky? Killing someone with a borrowed knife?"
Li Nian and Li Mou were even more confused, where was this going? The more they talked about it, the more mysterious it became.
"Yes, hiding the truth!" Li Yan said solemnly, "The previous storming of the Ming army's camp by Guan Ning's army was fake. It was just a good show put on by Guan Ning's army in cooperation with the Ming army."
"Fake? No way." Li Mou said blankly, "The shooting is not fake."
Li Yan said: "Of course it is true that the gunfire was fired, but it is definitely not loaded with lead, so it will not cause damage, and most of the arrows fired by Guan Ning's army have lost their arrowheads!"
All this sounds long, but in fact it only takes a moment.
While the three brothers were talking, trumpets suddenly sounded from the Guan Ning army formation opposite.
As the swan sound sounded, the cavalry who had been standing on the grassland like statues immediately began to charge, charging towards the rogue cavalry who had just fought a battle with the Gongtu tribe.
"Retreat!" Without any hesitation, Li Yan decisively gave the order to retreat.
The cavalry of the Dashun Army had just fought fiercely with the cavalry of the Gongtu Department for more than half an hour. Both the horses and the soldiers were severely exhausted, so there was no way to fight this battle.
Therefore, the wisest choice is to run away quickly.
I just don’t know, how many can I run back in the end?
Hu Xinshui's thousand Yiding are all Mongolians.
But no matter what, it is better than the whole army being wiped out.
…
A thousand Yiding chased the rogue cavalry and quickly ran away.
Uncontrollable cheers erupted in the Ming army camp.
Jin Xuan, Wang Jiayan, Wu Linzheng, Gong Yonggu and other civil servants and officials felt like they were dreaming.
Just less than two hours ago, there was still a chaotic situation where four parties were confronting each other, and the Ming army was still the weakest. If it weren't for the terrain and pre-set fortifications, they would have been destroyed long ago.
However, just two hours later, the situation here has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The two thousand cavalrymen of the Gongtu tribe were beaten to the point of running wild, the two thousand cavalrymen of the bandits were also beaten to pieces, and the most incredible thing was the thousand Yiding from the left camp of the Guanning army.
!
These thousand Yiding inexplicably turned from enemies to their allies!
Jin Xuan and Wang Jiayan claimed to know how to use soldiers, but they never dared to think that soldiers could be used in this way.
The two couldn't help but look up at the back of the figure standing behind the wall, and thought in their hearts that the Holy Master's use of soldiers was truly worthy of being called God's use of soldiers. Only the God of War could make a comeback in such a desperate situation.
Wu Xinshui also felt a little complicated, and he did not expect this result.
Before early this morning, if someone had told him that he could break the situation like this, he would have spit in the other person's face. What are you thinking? Do you think that fighting is like playing house for children?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If you think the bandits will believe it, they will believe it, right?
You said that the Gongtu tribe will fight with the bandits and they will fight?
However, the final result was a severe slap in Wu Xinshui's face.
Not only did the Liu bandits believe the melee between Guan Ning's army and the Ming army, but the Gongtu tribe also broke out into a melee with the Liu bandits, and the fight was so intense that both families were maimed.
All I can say is that His Majesty’s plan was so ingenious!
The psychological grasp of the flow thieves and the Gongtu tribe is simply wonderful.
So uncontrollably, an idea emerged from Hu Xinshui's mind.
Maybe fighting for the Ming Dynasty and fighting for Emperor Chongzhen is really a good option? At least for now, there is no problem in leaving the grassland alive.
As for the future, maybe we can really fight all the way to Nanjing?
If this is the case, wouldn't Hu Xinshui become a hero in the disaster? Just like the Huaixi nobles who followed Emperor Taizu Gao to conquer the country, and the heroes who followed Emperor Chengzuwen to conquer the country, they would not be able to win a prince.
Come on, maybe there is a chance to make trouble with the county king, but he doesn't dare to think about being a prince or anything like that.
Hu Xinshui's thoughts suddenly came to life.
But I still have to watch to see if there is a chance to return to Nanjing.
If there was really a chance to return to Nanjing, he would follow Chongzhen wholeheartedly.
Zhu Gaoyuan, who had his back to everyone, suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I am not as divine as you think. I know astronomy and geography five hundred years before and five hundred years after.
Those magicians and Taoist priests make up stories to deceive foolish men and women, but I have no such ability. I just got lucky this time."
Gong Yonggu, Wang Jiayan and other distinguished officials looked at each other. Is this too sincere?
He was not like this before, so why does he seem to be a different person? It seems that the fall of the capital and the loss of his ancestral mausoleum really stimulated him a lot, so that his whole temperament changed drastically.
But this seems to be a good thing for Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Gaoyuan added: "To be honest, this time when I went deep into the grassland, I did have the idea of using the Gongtu tribe to train troops."
"Otherwise, with the thousands of people who broke out from Chaoyang Gate, I don't have much confidence in making it back to Nanjing alive."
"So I want to practice by fighting a few battles with a small force like the Gongtu tribe. At least I can see some blood, so that I won't fall apart immediately after being charged by the bandits."
"But to say that I could predict today's situation is nonsense."
"Not only did I not expect that the bandits would catch up, but I also didn't expect that Guan Ning's army would come looking for them. Otherwise, I would have found a hidden valley to hide, and how would I dare to run around on the grassland?"
Zhu Gaoyuan became happy as he spoke, and the distinguished officials also laughed along with him.
Wang Jiayan smiled and said again: "After this battle at Hala Hetao, I no longer have any doubts about the Holy Sage's ability to use military force. Even if Taizu Chengzu is reincarnated, I am afraid it will be nothing more than this. When we encounter war again in the future,
Even if your Majesty lets me go and kill hundreds of thousands of thieves single-handedly, I won't have any doubts about it."
Hearing this, other officials and nobles couldn't help but look sideways.
Wang Jiayan's evaluation is quite high.
"Me too." Jin Xuan said seriously.
"You two dear friends are overly praised." Zhu Gaoyuan said with a smile.
"But don't worry, I will never do this."
"The talents of both my beloved ministers are wasted when they are used to charge into battle."
In Zhu Gaoyuan's heart, Jin Xuan might have the talent to supervise a division, so forget about Wang Jiayan.
However, there is no need to tell the truth at this time, why should we ruin people’s interest?
At this moment, a figure ran over and said: "Long live the Lord..."
Gao Qiqian, this old eunuch, is actually not dead.
