Zhu Yixi shook her head, with a gloomy look on her face: "Tongguan Pass is broken——"
"What? Doesn't that mean that the intruder has already entered the border?" Zhang Shijiong was shocked.
Zhu Yixi said calmly: "Let everyone speed up, now is not the time to dawdle."
He looked into the distance, mounted his horse, and said no more words.
Before leaving, in order to monitor Tongguan, simple beacon towers were built every fifty miles and a cavalry team was left behind.
In this way, once Tongguan is broken, he will know it in less than half an hour and make preparations in advance.
Wiping the corners of her eyes, Zhu Yixi rode her horse and walked with the team.
When the news came that Tongguan was broken, the entire team sped up a lot in an instant, but under the constraints of the army, they finally marched in an orderly manner.
It was so fast that even the infantry couldn't keep up.
Zhu Yixi still made arrangements.
"General Chen, take the two thousand people at the front and control the entire team."
Zhu Yixi pointed to the side.
When the two thousand elite soldiers heard the intruder's name, their faces turned pale and their legs and feet trembled.
At present, it is still of no use.
"I obey." Chen Yongfu also had a very upright attitude and did not complain. He just obeyed.
Zhu Yixi nodded, and then led the musketeers and spearmen to press the formation from behind.
"Guerrilla, why not destroy officialdom?"
Zhao Shu, who was supervising the operation of the baggage, ran over. He also saw the beacon smoke, his eyes were red, and he cupped his hands and said something.
Zhu Yixi understood instantly and said with a smile: "This is really a good idea, it can delay it for a while."
"Brothers, let's get to work."
With a wave of his hand, thousands of soldiers began their journey of destruction.
Seeing this, Zhao Shu shook his head and sighed: "In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, there was a famine in Shaanxi. The supervisor used work to revive the famine and repaired the official road from Xi'an to Hanzhong. Even the plank road was brand new."
"That's why grain can be transported from Hanzhong and Shaanxi can be stabilized."
"well!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yixi also felt heavy: "I never thought that I would still enjoy its favor until now."
…
On the other side, in Xi'an City, after Zhu Yixi left, there was a sudden surge of people, all of whom were guarding the city gate, waiting for the arrival of King Dashun.
Headed by Lu Zhiqi, the chief official, who had served as a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Song Dynasty Qijiao, as well as the guard Wang Genzi, veteran generals Zuo Guangxian, Gao Ruli, Liang Fu, etc., were also looking forward to it.
On the eighth day of October, the third day after Zhu Yixi left Xi'an City, a group of dusty cavalry broke into Xi'an City flying the Dashun flag.
"We will respectfully welcome King Shun's army——"
The group of people were overjoyed and hurriedly bent down to greet him.
"Huh? You guys know each other well!"
Gao Yigong sneered, reined in his horse, looked down from a high position and said:
"Why, there are only so few people in the city? Where is Sun Chuanting's Qin army?"
After just glancing around like this, everyone shuddered all over. The ferocity and murderous intent in it were hard to resist.
"General, there are no Qin troops in the city."
The chief envoy Lu Zhiqi gave a wry smile, stepped forward, and said humbly: "In the past few days, I haven't seen any troops. Only the remnants of the army went eastward with a few people."
"To the west?" Gao Yigong turned his head and said sternly: "They want to go to Hanzhong?"
"It should be!" Lu Zhiqi said hurriedly: "Even King Qin is in it."
"Prince Qin?" Gao Yigong suddenly became excited: "How can we let this fat pig run away?"
The rest of the cavalry also became excited one by one.
Everyone saw the wealth of King Xiang. As the first tribe in the Ming Dynasty, Qin Fan must be rich enough to rival the country.
"My sons, let's go catch the fat pig."
Gao Yigong waved his riding whip and was extremely excited.
In just a moment, more than a thousand cavalrymen passed by the city of Xi'an and ran towards the distance.
"With one man and three horses, it's no wonder that Chuangjun can win."
Zuo Guangxian looked at the cavalry going away and said thoughtfully.
"Father, do you think this kid Zhu Yixi can run away?" Zuo Xiang asked hurriedly.
"Although there are only Qianqi, they are elites. Whether he escapes or not, this is what the chief envoy said, and it is none of our business."
Zuo Guang first sneered, and then said: "But now that the situation has come to an end, there is a great chance that King Chuang will take over the world. Let's flatter him first and then talk about it."
Zuo Xing nodded.
However, Gao Yigong and his cavalry were thinking about avenging Li Guo, and at the same time they were thinking about catching King Qin, a fat pig, and squeezing out the oil and water.
One person and three horses, very fast.
Along the way, Xianyang, Xingping, Wugong, Xixian, and finally caught up with this huge team in Baoji County.
It took three days and three nights of hard work to catch up.
However, because of the scouts, Zhu Yixi had already known about the arrival of this cavalry.
Therefore, he asked the carriages to be pulled into two rows in advance to form a wall to protect the materials, clan, etc. in the middle.
Muskets, spears, and grenadiers are located at the rear, waiting to do their work.
"Hu-" Gao Yigong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he finally caught up: "You really know how to run."
"General, with so many people, we can't make a fortune!" The deputy general on the side had his eyes shining brightly.
"They are waiting for us? Why are there so many carriages?"
Gao Yigong frowned and carefully observed the turtle-shell-like team, feeling something bad in his heart.
I'm afraid this cavalryman of his will be difficult to chew down.
It's too sloppy, I should bring more people.
"Come on, let's test it out first——"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
According to his experience, the ordinary Ming army, no matter how thick the formation is, once encountering a cavalry attack, they will immediately panic and lose their way, causing the formation to be completely destroyed.
Zhu Yixi also looked solemn. It was the first time he encountered the invading army in a field battle, and he was also a cavalryman. It was really thrilling.
"The cavalry is coming!"
Chen Yongfu said with a serious face.
"Spear raised!"
"Musket ready!"
"Artillery ready!"
Zhu Yixi hurriedly ordered, a little more hastily than before.
When Chen Yongfu saw this, he couldn't help but comfort him: "Guerrilla, don't be nervous. Our military formation is so thick, it will be fine."
"I'm not nervous." Zhu Yixi waved her hands quickly and looked forward.
I saw the cavalry forming an arrow shape, rushing forward quickly, and getting closer to the spearman in front to a hundred paces.
At this time, facing the cavalry charge that was shaking on the ground, the spears and human shields were a little unstable, and some even started to panic.
Zhu Yixi's face tightened, the recruit was indeed unreliable.
When Gao Yigong saw this, he smiled: It was just as I expected.
"A hundred steps ahead? Turn—"
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Zhu Yixi couldn't wait to speak: "Set off the cannon——"
"Rumble--"
Hundreds of French cannons and crouching tiger cannons fired forward impatiently, raising large amounts of gunpowder smoke.
But the cavalry ran to both sides midway and left the bombing range.
Only a few unlucky ones died.
"Now!" After the bombardment, Gao Yigong sneered and asked the cavalry to charge again.
"Not good!" His vision was blocked and he heard the ground shaking again. Chen Yongfu hurriedly reminded:
"The guerrilla was just a bait just now, just to lure the artillery. He wanted to take advantage of the gap to attack."
"I understand!" With his palms full of cold sweat, Zhu Yixi nodded forcefully and said: "The spearmen retreat, the musketeers move forward!"
Immediately, the spearmen retreated impatiently, and the musketeers formed a conditioned reflex and moved forward.
"Launch——" Zhu Yixi yelled.
"Crackling——"
Immediately, the flintlock gun fired a large number of iron pellets.
