high official

Chapter 1225
Seeing that the Yongtong River was bombed to nothing, the more than 1 cavalry who had not yet crossed the river became a mess at this time. Some people dismounted to rescue the injured Pao Ze, and some people wandered around the river, trying to cross the river.However, the several miles long ice surface was cracked and shattered by the explosion. As soon as the war horse stepped on it, it would stumble and fall into the river, and was temporarily trapped on the opposite bank!

We can only count on the thousands of cavalry who have already crossed the river, but half of these guys were dizzy and unable to find the north after being bombed, and the other half were frightened out of their wits by the counterattacking enemy troops.Driven by Li Xian, they reluctantly form an formation to meet the enemy, but they are no match for Xu Huaiqing and others who are successful in one blow and have high morale!
As soon as the battle started, the officers and soldiers were killed and routed. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xian dared to wait for the large troops from the opposite bank to come around, and quickly fled under the protection of his own soldiers.

Although Li Xian is not very good at fighting, but the armor on his body is very expensive, and it is well-cared for and shiny. It shines brightly under the winter sunset, so that Xu Huaiqing does not spend much energy, so he firmly locks on this guy and follows behind. Chasing after him, he chased Li Xian until his soul died. Fortunately, he had a horse on his crotch, and the distance was short, so he fled back to Tongzhou City in a dangerous way!
Xu Huaiqing chased to Tongzhou city, saw Li Xian entered the city, then led his army back to deal with those leaderless officers and cavalry!
.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and looking at Li Xian who had returned home with a feather, Yang Rong's old face was darker than the sky.

Seeing the murderous Yang Rong, Li Xian couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat, and whispered to the soldiers around him: "He's going to kill me later, you must stop him..." The soldiers nodded and held tightly With the handle of the knife, Li Xian dared to come in front of Yang Rong, and said with shame on his face: "Master Ge, I will try my best in the end, but the road is one foot taller and the devil is one foot taller..."

"Have all your [-] cavalrymen been killed?!" Yang Rong looked at Li Xian in disbelief. If this is the case, how can this battle be fought?
"That's not true. Our army just fell for it accidentally, and the main force is intact. It's just, just..." Li Xian blushed and couldn't speak.

"It's just that the lord was chased back to Tongzhou! Why don't you find a piece of tofu to kill you?!" Yang Rong roared furiously, calling Li Xian a pig, but he also knew that Li Xian couldn't be killed Yes, the opponent has a higher status than himself, and a closer relationship with the prince than himself, and the army also listens to him... Suppressing his anger, Yang Rong asked the ins and outs of the matter, and learned that it wasn't because the enemy's combat power was unrivaled. It was caused by a trick, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Xian coldly and said: "You guard Tongzhou City, and the old man will go out of the city to preside over the battle!"

"It's getting dark, it's not too late for you to leave the city tomorrow morning." Seeing that Yang Rong didn't kill him, Li Xian was very grateful and said in a hurry.

"No, it's already too late! If it's delayed until tomorrow, the day lily will be cold!" Yang Rong asked someone to bring the horse and turned him on his back. Eyes, guard Tongzhou City! There must be no mistakes!"

"Mr. Ge, don't worry, I promise I won't be fooled again!" Li Xian patted his chest, pointing to the sky and swore: "The city is alive, the city is dead, and the people are dead!"

"I hope you will learn a lot of wisdom..." Yang Rong sighed. If possible, he didn't want to use Li Xian to defend the city, but he really didn't have any generals around him.And if it was someone else, Li Xian would definitely not accept it, and he would definitely let the guards be restrained everywhere, and there would be trouble instead.

.

Yang Rong brought another [-] soldiers out of the city, and now only Li Xian's [-] soldiers and horses were left in Tongzhou, plus the four guards who were originally stationed here, a total of [-] troops were stationed. Comprehensive situation of the enemy and the enemy, but do not have any worries.

Wang Xian's Shandong army is still far away in Cangzhou. Even if he suddenly left Daxing and came here desperately, with the current [-] cavalry, he wanted to break through the high-walled, well-equipped Tongzhou City with [-] troops stationed there. What an idiot!
The only thing that worried Yang Rong was Li Xian, an idiot. He could only tell Li Chang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs who stayed in Tongzhou, to be more considerate of Li Xian and not let him be tricked again.

Even so, when he left Tongzhou City in the dark, Yang Rong couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. This was the first time in the history of Ming Dynasty that civilian officials commanded troops!This is unimaginable in the Hongwu and Yongle years when the civil and military divisions were distinct!This is likely to become an epoch-making watershed for Ming Dynasty!

If not, Yang Rong would not back down to Li Xian.If there is a stalemate with Li Xian, and the other party does not agree with him leading troops, Yang Rong really has nothing to do...

After coming out of Tongzhou City, Yang Rong regained his composure. He knew what the future would hold and it all depended on the battle in front of him.If you can't win, or even lose badly, then everything will come to an end...

Eliminating all selfish distractions, Yang Rong ordered the army to march carefully, and at the same time asked people to contact the cavalry unit led by Li Xian. Get closer, prepare to concentrate your forces, and strangle Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry overnight!

Originally, Yang Rong was worried that Xu Huaiqing would take advantage of the cover of night to escape, but the news from ahead made him heave a sigh of relief. The guy was still cruising around the Yongtong Bridge, as if he was determined to stick to Tongzhou and Beijing between!
"Since you want to die so much, this old man will help you!" Yang Rong's gray beard fluttered in the night wind, staring coldly at the direction of Yongtong Bridge in the distance, and ordered all the ministries to encircle him from all directions, making sure that the damned thousands of cavalry It's hard to fly!
.

With only the piers of the Yongtong Bridge left, Xu Huaiqing and his soldiers are stepping up to rest.Although it was burned by fire, the remaining food was everywhere. The soldiers even fed the horses with snow-white rice directly, so that their life-and-death partners had a good meal, so that they had the strength to accompany them to continue to kill the enemy!
Xu Huaiqing held dry rations in his hand, and while eating, he patrolled the army in the cold wind. Although he knew very well that Yang Rong's army was encircling him from all directions, he had no intention of withdrawing at all.

The soldiers under his command were also aware of their situation, but they all had no fear on their faces, talking and laughing loudly there, and some even sang the military song that inspired them to fight in the north and south. It has been passed to the ears of the officers and soldiers.

Looking at his subordinates who were full of fatigue but full of fighting spirit, Xu Huaiqing let out a long breath and said to Zhang Dong beside him, "Are you sure Yang Rong has come out?"

"I'm sure." Zhang Dong nodded solemnly and said, "I've confirmed it with my own eyes. It's true that he led the army out of the city, and it should be a few miles away!"

"En." Xu Huaiqing swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, patted the crumbs between his fingers, and said coldly: "If you make a mistake, I will never let you go!"

"Don't worry, general." Zhang Dong always said with such a serious look, "You don't have to doubt Jin Yiwei's professionalism if you doubt anything."

"Okay." Xu Huaiqing nodded, and said, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and report to the father-in-law!" In fact, Xu Huaiqing planned to use the night to deal with the enemy, but when he heard Yang Rong personally led the army out of the city, So he decisively changed his mind, and wanted to stay in Baliqiao and meet the world-renowned Bachelor Yang for a while!
"I have already sent someone to report the news," Zhang Dong said with a smile, "I brought the news. If you pat your ass and leave, wouldn't it be a scam?"

"Don't bullshit, you have a use for nothing here!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong: "If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to leave later!"

"Farts are also useful, at least they can smoke people." Zhang Dong smiled honestly and said, "General, if you can't command me, don't waste your efforts."

"Go to hell!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong fiercely, and Zhang Dong looked at him without fear.After a long time, Xu Huaiqing burst into a burst of laughter and said, "Succeed, in the underworld, if your dead master wants to settle accounts with me, you can explain it yourself!"

"Hehe, my master won't..." Thinking of Shiwan, Zhang Dong respectfully said: "The old man was left behind, but he resolutely violated the military order and went to Calabash Valley to save the father-in-law and his party with his own life... ..." As he spoke, his voice was choked with sobs, but his eyes became more determined: "I can't embarrass the old man!"

"With an apprentice like you, he wouldn't be happy to cheat!" Xu Huaiqing patted Zhang Dong's shoulder heavily.

At this time, Zhang Dahai came over and asked in a deep voice: "General, let's move westward. This place is too close to Tongzhou. What's the matter? Yang Rong can go back with a drop of his ass!"

"Because of this, I have the confidence to nail that old fox here!" Xu Huaiqing shook his head resolutely and said, "The surname Yang is cautious by nature, he won't be too far away from Tongzhou!"

"The distance is so close, if the father-in-law wants to attack, I'm afraid he won't find a chance." Zhang Dahai said worriedly.

"Don't underestimate the Lord, he can open and close, and he can also be a dojo in the shell of a snail!" Xu Huaiqing was not worried at all: "As long as we do what we should do, we don't have to worry about everything else!"

"Yes..." The general was so sure that Zhang Dahai had no choice but to hold back his worries.

At this time, the scouts came galloping from afar, and shouted: "There are enemy troops to the north, and they are several miles away!"

"Get on the horse! Meet the enemy!" Xu Huaiqing's majestic voice echoed in the night sky, and the soldiers immediately got up, swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, and mounted their horses one after another.

"Night battle, when the sight is blocked, it's easy to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy!" Xu Huaiqing rode on the horse, and told his soldiers: "Don't rely too much on bows, arrows and muskets, and trust the saber in your hand! Don't retreat when facing the enemy, remember, All who face you are enemies!"

"Yes!" The soldiers responded loudly, followed their chief general, and killed the enemy army in the north!
"Follow my Mingdi! The direction of Mingdi is where your soldiers are pointing, advance and never retreat, until the last person in the battle!"

Xu Huaiqing's violent shouting was able to suppress the roaring horse's hooves, and he led his soldiers to rush towards the enemies all over the mountains and plains!
