Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 28
Half an hour later, the eastern sky revealed the first fish-belly paleness.

After a quarter of the cavalry was killed or injured, the Gongtu Department finally couldn't hold on.

The most precious resource on the grassland and the most difficult to replenish is the population resource.

For a small tribe like the Gongtu tribe, once it loses too many strong men, even the survival of the entire tribe will face a huge crisis, so revenge is nothing.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Boritie China decisively ordered to retreat.

As soon as the Sulu ingot of Boritie China fell, the cavalry of Gongtu's troops scattered like birds and beasts.

"Want to run? There's no door!" Li Mou got excited, and with a loud roar, he picked up his silver gun and was about to catch up.

"Second brother, come back, don't chase after him!" Li Yan hurriedly stopped, "Our goal is Emperor Chongzhen, so we will fight with others."

"It's cheap for you!" Li Mou spit thick phlegm at Bo Ri Tie China's back, and rode back to Li Yan, and said with a smile, "Brother, we won."

Li Nian also said: "Yes, we won."

Li Yan waved his hand and asked Li Mou, "Where is Chongzhen?"

Li Mou turned his head and waved, shouting: "Bring Chongzhen up!"

Even if there were two thieves who escorted Chongzhen forward on foot.

One of the thieves also took the initiative to pull Dou Jia's visor off.

"At last it was a worthwhile trip, and finally I did not live up to the Lord's expectations..."

There was a smile on Li Yan's face, and his eyes swept over Chongzhen's face, but the smile on Li Yan's face froze in the next moment, and the words he hadn't finished speaking stopped abruptly.

"Brother, why didn't you say anything?" Li Mou asked.

Li Nian seemed to realize something, and then turned his head to look at Chongzhen.

The next moment, the smile on Li Nian's face also froze, no beard?This is not Chongzhen!
"Third, what's wrong with you? What the hell?" Li Mou waved his hand in front of Li Nian, and when he saw that Li Nian didn't respond, he reined in his horse and turned around, looking at Chongzhen.

Then, Li Mou was also stunned there.

"It's weird." Li Mou said, "Why don't you have a beard, it doesn't look like it."

"What does it look like? This is not Chongzhen at all!" Li Nian shouted sharply, "This is an eunuch!"

"We fell into the trick of the Guanning army to escape the golden cicada!" Li Yan said in a deep voice, "They made a fake Chongzhen to provoke us to fight with the Gongtu tribe, but they escaped with the real Chongzhen."

"Good plan, Guan Ningjun planned this long ago."

"Don't worry, brother, they can't escape." Li Mou reined in his horse and turned around after speaking.

Then the next second, Li Mou also froze in place, completely dumbfounded.

Li Yan and Li Nian turned around abruptly, and their pupils shrank suddenly.

In the thin morning light that had just dissipated, a heavily armed cavalry was already standing outside the river bend like a ghost. Even if it is the most conservative estimate, there are at least a thousand cavalry!
"This is?" Li Nian asked in disbelief, "Guan Ningjun?"

Guan Ning's army did not escape after they captured Chongzhen, but went outside the parapet to form an array?

"Impossible!" Li Mou said decisively, "Guan Ning's army suffered heavy losses in the battle of storming the Ming army's camp. It would be good to have three or four hundred horses left. How can there be so many?"

Li Yan suddenly understood, and said, "That's right, they are the Guan Ning Army!"

"Ah?" Li Nian and Li Mou turned their heads in astonishment, and stared at Li Yan dumbfounded.

However, Li Yan said in a deep voice: "It seems that we did not fall into Guan Ningjun's trick to get rid of the golden cicada, but we clearly fell into Chongzhen's trick to hide the truth and kill with a knife!"

"Huh? Hiding Tianhaihai? Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Li Nian and Li Mou were even more confused, where did this come from?The more you say it, the more mysterious it becomes.

"That's right, cross the sea!" Li Yan said sternly, "The Guan Ning army's attack on the Ming army's camp before was fake, and this was just a good show staged by the Guan Ning army in cooperation with the Ming army."

"Fake? No way." Li Mou said blankly, "The firing of the gun is not fake."

Li Yan said: "Of course it is true to fire the blunderbuss, but it must not be filled with lead, so it will not cause any damage, and most of the arrows of Guan Ning's army also went to the arrows!"

All this sounds long, but in fact it only takes a moment.

While the three brothers were talking, a trumpet suddenly sounded in the opposite Guan Ning army formation.

With the sound of the swan, the cavalry who had stood like statues on the grassland immediately began to charge, charging towards the thief cavalry who had just fought a battle with the Gongtu tribe.

"Retreat!" Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yan decisively gave the order to retreat.

The cavalry of the Dashun Army had just fought fiercely with the cavalry of the Gongtu Department for more than half an hour. Both the horses and the soldiers were exhausted, so there was no way to fight this battle.

Therefore, the most sensible choice is to run quickly.

I just don’t know, how many people can run back in the end?
Hu Xinshui's thousand barbarians are all Mongols.

But no matter what, it's better than annihilation of the whole army.

……

A thousand Yiding chased the bandit cavalry and quickly ran away.

However, uncontrollable cheers sounded in the Ming army camp.

Jin Xuan, Wang Jiayan, Wu Linzheng, Gong Yonggu and other civil servants felt like a dream.

Just less than two hours ago, this place was still in a chaotic situation where the four sides faced each other, and the Ming army was still the weakest side. If it weren't for the terrain and the preset fortifications, they would have been wiped out long ago.

However, just two hours later, the situation here has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The two thousand cavalry of the Gongtu tribe were beaten to the ground, and the two thousand cavalry of the bandits were also beaten to pieces. The most unbelievable thing was the one thousand barbarians from the left battalion of the Guanning Army. !
These thousand barbarians have somehow turned from an enemy army to their friendly army!
Jin Xuan and Wang Jiayan claimed to know how to use soldiers, but they never dared to think that they could use soldiers in this way.

The two couldn't help but glanced up at the back of the figure standing behind the parapet, and thought in their hearts, the Holy Majesty's use of soldiers, called the use of soldiers like a god, is really well-deserved, and only the military god can turn the tables in such a desperate situation.

Hu Xinshui was also a little complicated, and he didn't expect this result.

Before the early hours of this morning, if someone told him that he could break the game like this, he would definitely spit on the other party's face. What was he thinking?You think of war as a child's play, how about playing?

You said that the thieves would believe them and they would believe it?

You said that the Arch Rabbit Department will fight with the thieves and they will fight?
However, in the end, Wu Xinshui was slapped in the face severely.

Not only did the Liu thieves believe in the melee between the Guan Ning army and the Ming army, but the Gongtu tribe also broke out in a melee with the Liu thieves, and they fought in a daze, killing both families directly.

It can only be said that the Holy Majesty's planning is too subtle!

The psychological grasp of the Liu thief and Gongtubu is simply wonderful.

So irresistibly, a thought emerged from Hu Xinshui's mind.

Maybe fighting for the Ming court and fighting for Emperor Chongzhen is really a good option?At least from the current point of view, there is no problem in leaving the grassland alive.

As for the future, maybe they can really go all the way to Nanjing?

If this is the case, wouldn't he, Hu Xinshui, become a hero in disaster?Just like the Huaixi nobles who followed Taizu Gao to win the country, and the hero Jing Nan who followed Cheng Zuwen to win the country, it is no problem to get a duke, maybe there is a chance to make trouble with a county king, a prince or something He didn't dare to think about it.

Hu Xinshui's thoughts suddenly came alive.

But we still have to wait and see if there is a chance to return to Nanjing.

If there is a chance to return to Nanjing, I will follow Chongzhen wholeheartedly.

With his back to everyone, Chongzhen suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I am not as godly as you imagined. Gods who know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom know [-] years ago and know [-] years later. They are all those gods." I don’t have the ability to deceive foolish men and women with magic sticks and Taoist priests, this time it’s just luck.”

Gong Yonggu, Wang Jiayan and other honorable officials looked at each other in blank dismay, the Holy Majesty is being too honest?
He wasn't like this before, why is it like a different person?It seems that the fall of the capital and the loss of the ancestral mausoleum really stimulated him a lot, so that his whole temperament changed drastically.

But for Daming, this seems to be a good thing instead.

Chongzhen said again: "To be honest, when I went deep into the grassland this time, I did have the idea of ​​using the Gongtu tribe to train soldiers."

"Otherwise, I don't have much confidence to return to Nanjing alive with this mob that broke through Chaoyangmen."

"That's why I want to fight a few battles with a small army like the Gongtu Tribe, so that I can use battle as a substitute for training. At least I can see blood, so that I won't fall apart immediately after being charged by the bandits."

"But it is nonsense to say that I can predict the situation today."

"Not only did I not expect that the bandits would catch up, but I also didn't expect that Guan Ning's army would also come to find them. Otherwise, I would have found a hidden valley to hide, so how dare I run around on the grassland?"

Chongzhen was happy when he said that, and the honorable officials also laughed.

Wang Jiayan smiled and said: "Through this battle of Hala Hetao, I have no doubts about the Holy Majesty's ability to use troops. Even if the Taizu Chengzu is reborn, it is nothing more than that. When encountering wars in the future, Even if the Holy Majesty asks the veterans to attack and kill hundreds of thousands of rogues single-handedly, they will never have the slightest doubt."

Hearing this, other officials and nobles couldn't help but look sideways.

Wang Jiayan's evaluation is quite high.

"The minister is too." Jin Xuan said seriously.

"The two lovers are too praised." Chongzhen laughed.

"But don't worry, I will never do that."

"The two lovers are both talented supervisors, and it was wasted to charge forward."

In Chongzhen's heart, Jin Xuan may have the talent of a supervisor, Wang Jiayan is fine.

But at a time like this, there's no need to tell the truth, so why bother?
At this moment, a figure ran over: "Long Live Lord..."

Gao Qiqian, the old eunuch, did not die.
