"Run! Run!" Salha shouted loudly while leading his soldiers to run non-stop.
After witnessing the astonishing scene of the Buddhist monks, his army had completely collapsed. Even if he could find a way around the camp to Quaningwei, it would be impossible to win against Quaningwei, so
He had only one purpose at this time: to bring this army back, to the camp, and to the Great Khan.
The soldiers he now commands are all the most elite soldiers in the Kingdom of Samarkand. Although their morale is declining now, as long as they can be brought back and their morale is restored, a powerful army will reappear, so he must bring his troops back.
Take this army back.
But it is not easy to escape back. The morale of the Ming Dynasty soldiers led by Ji Xi is extremely high. Although they have exhausted a lot of energy when defending the camp, they seem to be tirelessly chasing after the Xilu at this time, biting them tightly.
From time to time, he would kill Xilu soldiers who fell behind.
Salha could clearly hear the excited shouts from the pursuing Ming army that made him feel humiliated. He also clearly knew that Ji Xi only had a few hundred people in his hands, but he did not stop at all to eliminate these hundreds of people.
The idea was that the morale of the soldiers was so low that it was impossible to carry out such an order. On the contrary, the army would be completely dispersed, so he could only hate the Ming army while gritting his teeth in his heart, while leading the soldiers to escape.
Although the Ming army led by Ji Xi had high morale, after all, the number was too small and they were all infantry. Even if they kept chasing, they could not kill many people. Soon, Salha saw the people he passed by on his way to Quaning Guard.
That camp was not attacked.
Salha breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to shout, "Soldiers, we are leaving this camp soon and return to our camp!" to boost the morale of the soldiers, but at this moment, he had been cautiously guarding himself.
Xilu attacked the city, but the guard station, which had no intention of attacking, suddenly opened half of the camp gate.
…
…
Qin Sen put down the clairvoyance in his hand and hesitated.
He had just seen soldiers of the Xilu troops running towards here from the northwest, looking very embarrassed; there were about a thousand Ming troops pursuing them, which showed that this army must have been defeated and had to retreat.
He had the idea of stopping the Xilu. The fact that the Ming army was chasing the defeated Xilu troops showed that at least the war in the northwest was over, and even the war in the entire Chinese army camp had ended with the Ming Dynasty winning. If he had stopped the attack
If the Xilu retreat, this battle will be a complete victory.
But it is also very dangerous. If so many Xilu soldiers are blocked from escaping, the Xilu will definitely want to break through in a hurry. Then the losses to the entire army will be huge, and he himself will be in danger. He couldn't help but
I recalled the reaction of my father and second brother when I mentioned to my father and second brother that I wanted to come to the northwest to fight when I was in the capital. I thought of my mother's expression when she was crying, and I couldn't help but swallow my words when I thought of how hard I tried to get them to agree.
.
Moreover, Qin Sen glanced sideways at Chang Jizong. Chang Jizong is by far the most promising member of the Chang family. If he wants to die here, the Chang family will have to fight with his family. Even if his second brother is a Jinyiwei
The commander may not be able to bear it. Besides, there is no need to offend the Chang family for no reason.
While he was hesitating, Chang Jizong, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "Commander Qin, I think these tens of thousands of Xilu soldiers are trying to escape, and there are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty chasing them. It can be seen that our army has defeated the Xilu attack."
The camp, Your Majesty should be fine. At this time, we should order the camp to block the retreat of the Western captives."
"Commander Chang, there are only a thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty pursuing them, and there must be more than 20,000 fleeing Western captives. How dare a thousand soldiers pursue so many people? The battle may not be clear yet," Qin Sen said.
"There must be soldiers behind us who are not chasing us!" Chang Jizong said categorically: "The opportunity must not be missed before it comes. This is a good time to destroy the Xilu. Is there any reason to back down?"
"But," Qin Sen still hesitated.
"It's nothing." Chang Jizong turned his head and looked at Qin Sen. "Commander Qin, the court will not treat any soldiers who serve for him badly. The court will give preferential treatment to those who died in battle, so that his wife, children, children and young children will have no worries about food and clothing."
Here, he remembered that Qin Sen's headquarters came from the Yongming Guard Station, so he changed his words: "If someone dies in the battle and has no adult brothers, I ask your Majesty to transfer them to the Guard Station in the Central Plains to prevent them from suffering from cold and exhaustion."
.”
"You don't have to worry about my safety." Although Chang Jizong's fighting skills are limited, but after so many years of experience in the court, in the guard, and the words and deeds of his family, he quickly saw Qin Sen's other worry. "I often
I am definitely not a stingy person, so why would I get involved in your family just because of military matters?"
After hearing Chang Jizong's words, Qin Sen was still a little worried, but he had no room for evasion. He turned around and shouted loudly: "Soldiers! The Xilu have been defeated. Your Majesty has turned the corner. The defeated soldiers of the Xilu are about to
Escape from the camp, and the rest of the comrades in the guard are pursuing me. The soldiers will follow me to cut off the Xilu's retreat and annihilate all the enemy troops!" He shouted as he jumped down from the camp, put on his armor and picked up his sword and gun.
When the soldiers heard that the Xilu had been defeated, they immediately went out to fight with the Xilu with high morale. The soldiers guarding the camp gate opened half of the door, and Zhao Xing and Chang An led their troops to rush out first and fight with the Xilu.
at.
When Salha saw the Ming army fighting out of the camp, his heart sank, but he immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, if you defeat the Ming army in front of you, you can go back and return to the camp. Kill!" and took the lead!
He took out his steel sword and fought with the Ming army.
Although the morale of the soldiers who escaped with Salha was low, the desire to survive at this time defeated the low morale. In order to return alive, all the soldiers also tried their best to fight against the soldiers of Yongming's left guard.
The war became intense from the beginning. On the one hand, they wanted to find a way out, and on the other hand, they wanted to block the enemy's return route. They both fought to the death and refused to retreat. The Ming Dynasty had few soldiers and was originally at a disadvantage.
The road is not very wide, so it can withstand it.
The pursuers led by Ji Xi also caught up and started fighting with the Xilu who were running at the end. Unexpectedly, the Xilu who had been slaughtered by them all the way began to resist at this time. Thousands of them turned around and shouted, "Kill!"
Come here. Upon seeing this, Ji Xi and Shang Lie's bodyguards escorted them back for fear that they would be at fault.
The rest of the pursuing soldiers were quickly repelled by the Xilu. Originally, they had very little strength left after running all the way, and they were relying on their breath to support themselves. However, the morale of the Xilu who were eager to escape at this time was obviously higher than them, and they succeeded.
repel.
Under the protection of his guards, Ji Xi saw the pursuers he led being repelled by the Xilu. He was furious and said to the guards: "You don't have to protect me. Go quickly to help Zhu Suohai and Li Mingfang repel the enemy soldiers."
"Your Highness, we cannot carry out this order from Your Highness." The leader of his guards said: "Your Highness's safety is the most important. How can we abandon Your Highness to fight the enemy!"
"This is an order! It must be carried out!"
"Even if His Highness wants to chop off my head later, I will never obey the order!" The leader of his guards said firmly.
Ji Yan had no choice but to be dragged away by the guards and looked at the battlefield in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard a huge cheer from the Xilu camp in front of him, and immediately said worriedly: "Could it be that the Xilu have already broken through the obstruction of the Yongming left guard?"
…
…
Qin Sen and Chang Jizong were indeed almost unable to stop the Xilu. Even though the road was narrow and it was dark late at night and they could only rely on the flashes of lightning from time to time, their number was much smaller than that of Salha's soldiers.
Coupled with the Xilu soldiers who were originally guarding them under the camp, the military disadvantage was even more obvious. Often one soldier had to deal with two Xilu soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers.
Chang An used the method of exchanging wounds for lives, and he stabbed the Xilu in front of him to death, and with the help of his subordinates, he hacked to death the other two enemies. At this time, a flash of lightning flashed, and he saw where Zhao Xing was.
, hurriedly led his subordinates to run, and hacked to death a Xilu who was about to attack Zhao Xing from behind. He leaned over and shouted loudly: "Zhao Xing, brothers can't hold on any longer, retreat quickly!"
"But the commander has not yet issued the order to withdraw the troops." Zhao Xing said hesitantly.
"Why are we waiting for the command from the commander! We will have turned into corpses by the time he gives the order!" Chang An said again. He had felt bad about Qin Sen's order to intercept from the beginning, thinking that he might not be able to stop it; but once he came,
This was the commander's order, and he did not dare to disobey it. Secondly, he was lucky, thinking that the Xilu might surrender in despair when they saw them, so they came out together.
But he didn't expect that the Xilu not only didn't surrender, they didn't even try to take a detour, and fought directly with them. Seeing his subordinates die one after another, he had already scolded all the eighteen generations of Qin Sen's ancestors in his heart.
He searched it all over and made up his mind to withdraw. In his opinion, the Xilu were eager to escape and would definitely ignore the people who escaped from the camp and no longer blocked their way of survival, so he could survive.
Zhao Xing also hesitated. He didn't want to die either, or in other words, no one wanted to die under normal circumstances. They were either trapped in a desperate situation or they would die if they didn't fight hard. They could survive as long as they escaped back to the camp, so who would want to die?
But this was disobedience on the battlefield, and he did not dare to give it easily because it might cost him his head.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xilu rushed up again. He tried his best to kill two people, but two of the guards beside him also died fighting to protect him. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xing finally made up his mind to withdraw. Even though he was later killed by
Even if he disobeys orders and is executed on the battlefield, his guards will always survive. These guards have been with him for several years and have developed deep feelings for him. Since he himself is going to die no matter what, it is better to let them live.
Zhao Xing was about to give the order to withdraw. But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves on the ground suddenly sounded.
