Daming reckless man

Chapter 26 Can't Go Back
Chapter 26

Altan Khan is very angry. His son's life and death are unknown now. The key is that his army was actually defeated by Daming's army. When did Daming's army become so brave?

Before, they were fighting against them by themselves. Daming's army did not dare to fight, but now they have caused so many casualties to their own army, which is amazing.

Altan Khan commanded the army and rushed to the capital quickly. On the way, the Tatar generals also knew what was going on and were very angry. When they were halfway along, they encountered the retreating army.

Altan Khan greeted the two generals.

"Khan, they have something in their hands that can explode with great power. When it explodes in a place where we are crowded, soldiers who are more than ten steps in a radius will be blown up. If we charge forward like this now, we will not be able to beat them! "The leader of the South Camp will say to Altan Khan.

"Yes, I originally wanted to lead the army to the north to rescue, but before I rushed in, my army suffered huge casualties, and even said that they didn't know what was injured.

It wasn't until we retreated that the Ming army chased after us. We didn't know that they threw things out with their hands and then exploded. Khan, now that we have passed, we may not be able to fight! "The main general of the East Camp also said to Altan Khan.

"My son wants to see people when he is born, and he wants to see corpses when he is dead. Besides, if Daming really has such a powerful weapon, why can he still be surrounded by us for so many days? Even if they have, they will not have many.

You just said that there will be no more than 5000 Daming troops out of the city to fight. We have more than 5 people in the capital of Daming, and we can't beat so many of them? "Altan Khan stared at them angrily and shouted.

"Khan, it's not that we can't beat him, but it's dark. We don't know what the other party is using, so the soldiers panic."

"Also, it was dark and the soldiers were afraid, so the Ming army was given a chance to take advantage."

"Follow me and kill those 5000 people completely, otherwise, what's with the face of my Tartar?" Altan Khan said angrily, staring in the direction of the capital.

On Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao and the others had already gone to the north jungle to clean up those corpses.

"Hey, this person's rank is very high, you see, the people who died around are all Tartar officers, father, father!" Zhang Hao found the Tartar's middle army tent, the middle army tent when he was wandering around. There were many corpses outside, and on one of them lay many Tatar generals.

Zhang Rong heard Zhang Hao's shout and brought the officers over.

"Dad, look, this person should be a big man!" Zhang Hao pointed at the corpse and said to Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong also leaned over to watch, and a commander went over to turn over his body.

"Master Guo, look, this is his seal, as well as this jade pendant, and a saber. He is indeed a big man." The commander handed the things to Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong took the seal and opened it.

"Huang Taiji? Huang Taiji!" Zhang Rong's eyes widened immediately after seeing those words.

Then he looked at the people around him and said to Zhang Hao, "Good boy, haha, the eldest prince of Tartar, the eldest prince Huang Taiji, hahaha!"

Zhang Rong is so excited!I never dreamed that I could kill someone with such a high status as the enemy.

"Prince?" Those subordinates heard it and looked at Zhang Rong in shock.

"That's right, the eldest prince of the Tartars, Huang Taiji, okay, okay!" Zhang Rong was still very excited!

At this time, a cavalryman came over, turned over and dismounted, and shouted to Zhang Rong: "Grandpa, 30 miles away from this place, a large-scale cavalry of the Tartars was found, and they are killing them here!"

"What?" Zhang Rong was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that the Tartar army would dare to come.

"Father, shall we go back to the city or continue to fight here?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Zhang Rong and asked.

"Come here, go and inform the city immediately, open the city gate and we are going back to the city!" Zhang Rong shouted loudly, he can't fight, he can win such a big victory at night, it is because of the dark night, the Tartar side touches I don't know the situation of Daming's army, but now it's dawn, and the soldiers are tired. If they continue to fight, I'm afraid they will suffer a big loss!
"Yes!" A messenger at the back heard it and immediately set off on horseback.

"Father, we may not be able to enter the city!" Zhang Hao thought about it for a while, and combined with Ding Rukui deliberately came to find his father yesterday afternoon, hoping that his father would play, he obviously hoped that his father would die in battle.

And now that such a victory has been achieved, it is not good for Ding Rukui.

"Huh?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao puzzled.

"Dad, prepare both hands, everything is ready anyway, once the messenger brings back news, the city gate will be opened, and it's not too late for us to go back.

Now, we need to cut down those big trees outside to prevent the Tartar cavalry from rushing in. Of course, we also need to leave two ways for us to go back! "Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Rong and said.

"Master, the Major General is right. Once we can't go back to the city, if we're not in the jungle, we can't stop the Tatar cavalry charge! We don't have many people." Chen Du, the guerrilla general behind him, thought about it. Said to Zhang Rong.

"Do it right away!" Zhang Rong didn't even think about it, now he believes in his son.

"Yes!" Several generals immediately went to do it.

Zhang Hao was holding the copper hammer and wanted to go to the front to take a look, but was pulled by Zhang Rong.

"Father?" Zhang Hao looked at his father in confusion.

"Hao'er, come here, Dad has something to tell you!" Zhang Rong said and pulled Zhang Hao aside.

"If you can't win, you will take your soldiers and run into the jungle. The Tartars don't dare to chase too deep. You must go back alive, do you hear?" Zhang Rong whispered to Zhang Hao.

"Father, you... have to walk together!" Zhang Hao looked at his father in surprise.

"Hao'er, you heard Dad say that if Ding Rukui doesn't open the city gate this time, you must find a way to go back to Beijing and tell the emperor to escape justice for Dad and those sacrificed soldiers. If they open the city gate, it will be fine. , Remember, Daddy is the main general, Daddy can't leave those soldiers and run away, did you hear me!" Zhang Rong stared at Zhang Hao very sternly and said.

"Father, no, I promised mother that I will take you back together!" Zhang Hao still refused, and was very moved.

"You can go back. Dad can't go back. Dad would rather die in battle than escape. Otherwise, what kind of face do I have for the soldiers of Daming, and what kind of face do I have for my British government?" Zhang Rong continued to say very firmly.

Before waiting for Zhang Hao to speak, Zhang Rong patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Dad is very pleased to see that you can command the war. After all, my British government has a successor, remember what Daddy said!"

After Zhang Rong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhang Hao followed and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Rong.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to carry the copper hammer and hurry forward. When he arrived at the soldiers' side, Zhang Hao also took the axe and began to chop down the trees, knocking them down and hindering the charge of the Tartar cavalry.

On the side of the palace, Ding Rukui had just finished reporting the battle outside the city.

"What are you talking about, the Tartar soldiers outside the city have already retreated? Zhang Rong won a big battle? Haha, good!" When Jiajing heard his report, he was so excited that he immediately stood up from the Taoist platform and walked quickly in the Dan room. moving.

"Congratulations to the emperor, God bless Daming!" Yan Song said at the moment.

After hearing this, the other ministers also rejoiced.

Then Jiajing thought of something, turned to Ding Rukui and asked, "Why hasn't Zhang Rong returned to the city yet? The battlefield is just outside the city. If you want to come back, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour!"

"This... Maybe it's still cleaning the battlefield, so I didn't come back!" Ding Rukui replied immediately, this is a long-planned countermeasure.

"Okay, you go to the city wall immediately. Once Zhang Rong comes back, let him come to see me immediately!" Jiajing pointed to Ding Rukui and explained.

"Yes, I retire!" Ding Rukui immediately kowtowed, then stood up and stepped back.

After leaving Yuxi Palace, Ding Rukui quickly mounted his horse and said to the people he brought, "Go to the north!"

As he spoke, he urged the horses to go to the north, and when he reached the north wall, Ding Rukui went directly to the wall.

"Is there any news about the Duke of England?" Ding Rukui went up the city wall and directly asked one of the generals here.

"Not yet, but you see, there is a messenger coming, and it is estimated that there will be news soon!" The sergeant pointed to the messenger rushing from a distance, and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ding Rukui stood there waiting.

Soon, the messenger arrived.

"Report, the British public order, the Tatar army is about to arrive, please open the city gate quickly, our army wants to return to the city!" The messenger restrained his horse and shouted at the top of the city wall.

"What? The Tatar army?" Ding Rukui was overjoyed when he heard this, and then immediately said to the messengers below: "You can't go back to the city, the Tatar army is here, if you don't retreat in time, it will cause danger to the capital, you go back Tell the Duke of England, let him continue to stand, and the red-clothed cannons on the side of the city wall will support them!"

"What, Lord Shang Shu, I haven't seen the shadow of the Tartars yet, they have time to retreat!" When the general heard this, he shouted anxiously to Ding Rukui.

"No, if you don't retreat in time and something happens to the capital, can you bear it?" Ding Rukui said angrily, staring at the general.

"However, the Tatar army is here, how can the British prince hold on to it?" The sergeant shouted anxiously.

"Yes, you have to believe that the British Duke was able to defeat the Tatar army last night. You can also do it today. You can't lead it to the city wall. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!" Ding Rukui still insisted.

Then he shouted to the messengers below: "Go back and tell the British Lord, stick to it, and when the Qin Wang army arrives, the siege will be resolved naturally!"
