Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 222 Sacrifice to the ancestors
It was already bright, and the dizzy sun didn't know where to go, only pieces of snowflakes could not stop falling.

After a while, the corpses on the ground were covered, and the blood also solidified into ice.

The wounded soldiers wailed, the flag was broken, the horses were limp, and it was a mess.

"Quick, gather the horses!"

Li Jingwu hurriedly said that if the Liaodong horse is raised well, it will be of great help in the future.

But at this time, with Duduo's death, a bloody head was cut off, and its appearance could be vaguely seen.

But it doesn't matter, the armor body is still there, as long as it can be put together.

After sweeping the battlefield, more than half of the [-] cavalry were killed and injured, and the Eight Banners suffered countless casualties, which are difficult to measure.

"Commander, the Eight Banners still escaped with a thousand people."

Deputy General Hou Gong couldn't help but regret.

He was selected and transferred from the Yulin camp, and he is very good at riding. He is Li Jingwu's important assistant in the camp.

"Flee and flee."

Li Jingwu beamed and said: "If you can get Duoduo's dog head, you will have an explanation."

As he spoke, he tidied up the battlefield, hacked and killed the captured wounded soldiers, and the cavalry battalion returned in mighty force.

Riding on the horse, thinking about the power of gunpowder, Li Jingwu was extremely fortunate that he was equipped with a grenade.

In the future, cavalry will have to be on standby.

At the same time, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, leading the Eight Banners of Three Thousand Han and Eight Banners of Two Thousand Man, ran eastward desperately.

Wang Guangen also followed closely.

But when the infantry was snowing heavily, no matter how hard they could catch up with the cavalry, they could only return halfway for a while.

"Finally got rid of it."

Geng Zhongming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he looked at the pursuers who were no longer there.

"I don't know what happened to the prince!"

Kong Youde sighed, and said with a hint of fear: "If he is gone, after we go back, the regent may not be able to spare us."

"We brought back 2000 people with the white flag, which is already a great achievement."

Geng Zhongming thought very carefully, and he couldn't help but said: "The imperial court suffered a disastrous defeat, the Han Eight Banners were almost completely destroyed, and the Xiangbai Banner was killed and injured. The regent only wants to regroup, not commit crimes."

"Besides, the defeat in this battle was due to Prince Yu's recklessness, and the most important Meng Jindu was left to Prince Yu. We have done our best."

Kong Youde thought for a while, then nodded: "Dead people can't speak, besides, there are many people living in Xiangbaiqi. Prince Yu insists on going his own way, and there are treacherous tricks in him, how can we let us bear the blame?"

"Haha, it makes sense!" Geng Zhongming was a little surprised, but Kong Lianzi was not stupid, and said immediately: "I only hope that Prince Yu can pass through Mengjindu!"

Immediately, stepping on the thick snow, the group continued eastward, found the frozen part of the Yellow River, and crossed the river to the north of Zhili.

In Luoyang, Zhu Yixi was roasting by the fire, watching the snowflakes getting bigger and bigger outside the window, and couldn't help sighing.

It was supposed to be a foolproof ending, but Liu Zongmin had to get involved and let Duoduo run away abruptly.

Originally, he still had a good impression of Chuangjun, after all, now such a huge territory relies indirectly on Li Zicheng, but now he deeply hates him.

Of course, he didn't intend to send troops to attack Tongguan, which was inconsistent with his strategy.

But this grudge, he has already written down.

Sun Xuan'er was dressed in a military uniform, warming wine for King Yu while warming the fire. Her face was slightly red, and she glanced sideways at the peaceful red lady, feeling a little worried in her heart.

The delicate waist, broad chest, and heroic posture exuded all over the body are very tempting to many people.

"It's just a widow, what are you worried about?" Sun Xuan'er cheered herself up and stopped looking at her.

On the side, all the generals were roasting by the fire, holding their breath, and His Royal Highness Yu Wang was holding back his stomach, so he must not touch the mold.

"Your Highness!" At this moment, Little Thirteen blushed and walked over: "General Wang is back."

"Is there any gain?"

Zhu Yixi asked softly, obviously not hopeful about it.

It was snowing heavily, and the infantry couldn't keep up with the cavalry.

"Slay five hundred enemies—"

Thirteen whispered.

"Let Camp Mingen rest!"

Zhu Yixi shook his head slightly, and as expected, he continued to close his eyes and meditate.

Chen Yongfu, You Shiwei and others looked at each other, and they could only do the same.

The Manchus entered the customs aggressively and defeated the intruders, showing a tendency to monopolize the world in one go.

At this time, Qin Jun gave him a blow to the head and defeated him, but it was still not as shocking as the puppet king Duoduo's head.

After all, war damage can be falsely reported, and people will not admit it, but the head cannot be faked.

This time, it was evening.

Some of the generals went to patrol the camp, and some went to work, but King Yu was still warming up and waiting for news.

The red lady glanced at the silent King Yu, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not speak, but walked away slowly.

Just when she was about to cross the threshold, suddenly, there was a huge noise outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yixi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked calmly.

"Your Highness, the cavalry battalion is back."

At this time, Thirteen staggered over, his face full of joy.

"Let Li Jingwu come to see me!"

Zhu Yixi suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Immediately, he sat down calmly again, but the constant heaving of his chest revealed his excitement.

Sun Xuan'er naturally understood the man's mood, and patted his back with both hands to calm him down.

After a while, King Yu regained his confident and relaxed appearance.

After that, she stood behind tacitly, waiting for Li Jingwu's arrival, and then it was King Yu's time.

Da da da--

There was a sound of eager footsteps, and then stopped.

At this time, the weapon is being inspected.

Soon, Li Jingwu, who was covered in snowflakes and covered in blood, strode into the room with big strides, and the heat on his face made him tremble all over.

"The last general Li Jingwu, thanks to His Royal Highness, finally took the head of the false king Duoduo—"

Kneeling down on both knees, Li Jingwu smelled blood all over his body, his face was full of excitement, his beard trembled, and the snowflakes fell to the ground and turned into water.

"Thank you!" Thousands of words were merged into three words.

In the whole room, the fire suddenly became fierce, and the heat continued to rise. Zhu Yixi felt a wave of heat rising from the soles of his feet to the back of his head.

Zhu Yixi stood up with bright eyes, helped him up, and aimed at the human head that was placed on the ground.

He had never loved a human head so much, and suddenly felt that the human head was not disgusting anymore.

Li Jingwu couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard this.

For this head, it's not easy.

"Your meritorious deeds have been recorded."

Zhu Yixi nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "If you think about it, the imperial court will never be stingy with an uncle or marquis."

Li Jingwu was not stupid, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Hou Zhijue, the last general doesn't want it, but just wants to make His Highness look good, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhu Yixi patted him on the shoulder, a child can be taught!

After speaking, His Royal Highness King Yu said: "Come here, pickle this head and pass it on to Henan and Huguang, so that the people of the world can see what this false king looks like."

"Open the altar, and this king will use this head to offer sacrifices to the late emperors and ancestors."
