Chapter 12
"rush!"

With a loud shout, Zhang Fu bears the brunt of the attack and goes to the gate of the Oala camp.

At this time, the Ming army's aura is like a rainbow, and it seems that they want to pour out the grievances of this period of time.

Uncle Pingxiang Chen Huai grabbed Zhang Fu and shouted: "Why are you rushing up at such an old age, stay and protect the emperor!"

After speaking, he rushed forward without looking back.

Zhang Fu was stunned, then reacted, and said angrily: "Aren't you three years younger than the old man? What kind of young man are you pretending to be?"

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen and others also rushed in. Zhang Fu looked back at the emperor's banner and sighed secretly.

He is a veteran of Emperor Taizong's period. He has been on the battlefield for a long time and has rich experience.

Now the situation of the battle is suddenly reversed, and it all depends on the emperor's strategizing and proper command.

What Chen Huai said is right, if everyone rushes forward, what will the emperor do?
Zhang Fu was still very rational. Seeing that the victory was in sight, he did not covet merit. Instead, he turned around and summoned more than 1000 people to guard Zhu Qizhen.

The battle situation at this time has shown a one-sided situation. The Oirat soldiers fled in all directions after being bombarded, and had already lost their will to fight.

The biggest advantage of the Oirat soldiers is the cavalry. Relying on their mobility and speed advantages, the infantry that can fight in the field has no power to fight back.

But now, the cavalry completely lost their advantage, and were frantically harvested by the Ming army.

The battle ended quickly, and the Ming army won a complete victory, wiping out more than [-] people from Wala, only a small part escaped in the chaos.

Zhu Qizhen's heart that had been hanging all this time finally let go.

What he was most worried about was to sneak attack from the rear while he was fighting with the Ashibe. Fortunately, until now, no one from the Yexianbu had appeared.

Defeating the Arabu means completely breaking through the blockade of Oala, and the two sides have returned to the same starting line.

In this way, it will not be so scary.

Through these two battles, the morale of the Ming army has reached its peak. Let alone one of them, even if Genghis Khan comes back from the dead, he can still fight.

"Send the order, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, you must cross the river before dark, and go to the east bank to camp!"

Zhang Fu looked around and suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you use this camp, just repair it a little..."

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "The terrain here is flat and there is no danger to defend. If we launch a strong attack first, our troops will be at a disadvantage and we will be very passive at that time!"

Zhang Fu nodded repeatedly after listening, and his admiration for the emperor increased a little.

"The old minister will send someone to escort the emperor across the river!"

The location of the Alabu Camp is the lower reaches of the Guishui River, which is the Guanting Reservoir of later generations. At this time, it was still a marsh. The deepest part of the river was only more than one meter long, and the water surface reached the chest of an adult.

This depth of water is very beneficial to the Ming army. They can cross the river on foot. When the Oirats chase them, they only need to lay a line of defense on the bank, and the opponent will feel uncomfortable when they cross the river.

8 people began to cross the river in batches, and the Fifth Army Battalion went smoothly. However, the Shenji Battalion fell into deep thought when they saw the twenty general cannons weighing more than a thousand catties.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Chen Ying trotted all the way over, gasped and said, "The big thing is not good!"

Zhu Qizhen was startled immediately, and asked nervously, "Did you also call first?"

"No, that..." Chen Ying swallowed and said, "The cannon is too heavy to cross the river!"

Zhu Qizhen glared at him, and said dissatisfied: "What are you talking about for such a trivial matter, I thought I called here first too!"

Chen Ying said helplessly: "I've thought about the solution, but this thing is too heavy..."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "Go to the A'la camp to find some wood, try to find the thickest ones, and tie them to the cannon!"

Chen Ying slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "The emperor's idea is good, I will do it now!"

Finally, before dark, all the cannons crossed the river safely.

The camp of the Ming army was stationed [-] paces away from the east bank of the Guishui River, backed by a hill, with a small stream at its feet, plus the cattle and sheep seized from the Ala Day Camp, there was plenty of water and food.

It is worth mentioning that through these two battles, [-] horses were captured, enough to form a new battalion of [-].

It was completely dark, and in a temporary tent, Zhu Qizhen was summoning Zhang Fu and other major generals to discuss the next battle plan overnight.

"Your Majesty!" Kuang Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, said first, "The veteran thinks that since we have already defeated the Ara Zhiyuan, why don't we take this opportunity to march overnight and return to Juyongguan before making plans."

Before Zhu Qizhen could speak, Zhang Fu couldn't help but asked, "Kuang Shangshu, tell me, is it faster for people or for horses?"

"Nonsense, of course it's Ma Kuai!"

Kuang Ye felt that his IQ had been insulted, and couldn't help but give him a blank look.

"That's right!" Zhang Fu continued, "First of all, the cavalry is the main force. We are all infantry, and we have heavy weapons such as cannons. How can we outrun the cavalry? Moreover, if the purpose is to retreat, the soldiers will lose Fighting spirit, when you catch up first, you only want to evacuate as soon as possible, and you have already lost this battle before it is fought!"

Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo said: "Mr. Ye is suspicious. Before getting the exact news, he must not be able to make a judgment easily. It is the best opportunity to evacuate now!"

"What Wang Shangshu said is absolutely true!" Cao Nai, a Hanlin scholar, followed closely, "If you wait, you will realize it first, and you won't be able to leave if you want to!"

Although Zhang Fu looked down on these civil servants, he didn't know how to justify for a while.

Seeing that everyone was in a dispute, Zhu Qizhen said: "Everything you say is reasonable, but who dares to promise me that they will not catch up suddenly?"

"This..." Wang Zuo hesitated for a moment, and said, "I just feel that I have always been cautious in acting first, and would not send troops so hastily."

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and then said seriously: "Could it be that the Ara Zhiyuan expected that we would raid the Guishui River when we were in a difficult situation? The fact is that we did so, regained the water source, and turned the tide of the battle. We can carry out raids, and we can do it first, on the battlefield, everything changes rapidly, we must not take chances, we must always prepare for the worst!"

Everyone was convinced by these words, Zhang Fu hurriedly said: "The emperor is right, on the battlefield, you must not take chances!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at these elderly ministers, and an idea popped up in his mind, and said, "Kuang Qing's family, I have an important errand, after much deliberation, I'd better leave it to you to handle it."

Kuang Ye hurriedly said, "Please order, Your Majesty!"

"A large number of wounded in the army are in urgent need of treatment. Now the battalions are counting the number of wounded. In the morning tomorrow, I will send you some people to escort the wounded back to Beijing first. Wang Qing's family, Cao Qing's family, you two come to assist."

Kuang Ye and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly said: "The emperor is not out of danger yet, how can the ministers leave on their own? Please take back the order of the emperor, and the ministers are willing to stay on the front line and share the emperor's worries!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head secretly, it's really useless to keep these talkative civil servants around, they come up with ideas all day long, even if they fight, they have to send someone to protect them, and share their worries, please show some face, don't embarrass others Trouble would be nice!

Zhang Fu seemed to understand Zhu Qizhen's meaning, so he said: "The emperor asked you to escort the wounded, and it's not like you're running away. Isn't escorting the wounded just to share the emperor's worries?"

Kuang Ye looked at Wang Zuo, and Wang Zuo looked at Cao Nai. They all muttered to themselves, escorting the wounded was also serving the emperor, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But why does it feel weird?

It's like being despised by someone...

With a smile on his face, Zhu Qizhen said: "It's hard for the Qing family to escort the wounded!"

Speaking of this, Kuang Ye and the others couldn't refuse anymore.

"The ministers will follow the emperor's will!"

After finishing speaking, several people left first, Zhu Qizhen was secretly relieved, and finally sent these civil servants away, and suddenly felt that the ears were much quieter.

Unsurprisingly, it has already started to act.

Over the years, there have been constant conflicts on the border between Oala and the Ming Dynasty. Dozens of battles, large and small, have been fought, from Taizong to Xuanzong, and then to himself as the orthodox emperor. It is already the fourth dynasty.

Now, make a break!
