I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 78 My famous name, Xu Da, was ruined by a trash like you!

Accompanied by Xu Hongji's angry reprimand, he ordered the generals to gather the elite.

Although the Southern Army had a total of [-] soldiers, most of the [-] soldiers came from the Nanjing Jingying and the guards in the Jiangnan area.

The allocation of Nanjing and Beijing is basically one-to-one. All the official positions that Beijing has, Nanjing naturally also has... But the difference is that the emperor still has a little scruples about eating empty wages, corruption and bribery, at most half of them. In Nanjing, there are not so many scruples.

As for the guards... This is the Chongzhen Dynasty, not the Hongwu Dynasty, so it can only be said that everyone who understands understands it.

Can the Nanjing Jingying and Weisuo soldiers fight?No, the soldiers who can really fight are the private soldiers and servants raised by the Xungui family!
These five thousand elites come from every noble family.

Just standing here, looking at the excellent equipment and the spirit of the soldiers, we can see that these elites are completely different from those guard soldiers and Nanjing battalion soldiers.

However, the guards and Nanjing camp soldiers were not given up by the nobles. The nobles reluctantly raised 20 taels of silver to support the army. Under the layers of exploitation and dividends, each soldier can get a reward of five silver coins.

However, since he was going out of the city to meet the enemy, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji gathered an army again, reluctantly took out 3000 taels of silver from his more than 10 million taels of property, and rewarded them. Together with 2 elites, he gathered a total of [-] people. He planned to attack at night and kill the enemy troops outside the city by surprise.

Thinking of boxes of silver taels, Xu Hongji's heart was bleeding. That was a full 10 taels, which was one-thirtieth of his total family property!

However, it is worth spending so much money on the occasion of life and death!
After thinking about this, Xu Hongji gradually calmed down. Looking at the sunset that was about to set, he breathed heavily, and then raised his sword and said: "Generals, now that the country is in trouble, and Your Majesty has been deceived by villains, it's time for us to serve the country with honors! Righteousness is in the Southern Army, and this battle must be won!"

"Definitely!"

……

Since ancient times, night battles have especially tested the commander's ability.

Famous generals may not be able to command a night battle, but those who can command a night battle are all famous generals!
After all, the lights are dark at night, and the soldiers don’t know if they are left behind or lost.

Xu Hongji is very confident in himself.

who is he?He is a famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, a descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan. Although he has never led troops to fight, he has practiced soldiers on weekdays and is familiar with military books.

And most importantly, after being a famous general, he has a nobleness that is different from others in his blood!

The time has passed, and the sky is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers, except for the fire on the city wall, barely illuminating the direction of progress.

But fortunately, the starlight is quite good tonight, under the bright moon in the sky, it illuminates Xu Hongji's road ahead of this night attack, so after secretly opening the gap in the city gate, Xu Hongji led more than a hundred elite cavalry, came out from the south gate, and galloped in a circle towards the side.

When the five thousand elite took the lead and left the city first, Xu Hongji couldn't help being a little surprised, and at the same time, he became more and more contemptuous of the opponent who hung the flag of Wei Guogong.

The enemy generals don't know how to fight, so it seems that I have made such a great contribution and become the current Han Bai!

And just when Xu Hongji was full of ambition and was about to burst out laughing, he suddenly heard a heavy voice: "Wei Guogong, we are waiting for the city to leave the city. The enemy has not responded, and there may be an ambush!"

"so what?"

Xu Hongji didn't care, and then he laughed and said: "Even if there is an ambush, the athletes in our army can still kill him and turn his back on his back, making an indelible contribution!"

After all, Xu Hongji raised his whip without hesitation, pointed to the direction of the barracks that Xu Da had chosen, and said, "March!"

Hearing Xu Hongji's voice, Zhao Zhilong's face turned ashes when he said these words, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his mood fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

Wrong person, this Xu Hongji is a waste!
But up to now, Zhao Zhilong had no choice but to go all the way to Hei, so he braced himself, rode his horse and followed Xu Hongji, and marched northward.

Although Xu Hongji was full of ambition, he was still a little nervous.

The troops around him were getting less and less, and he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he swaggered and climbed over the hill.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this moment, the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly exploded, soaring into the sky in an instant, sweeping all directions!
After hearing the shouts of killing, Xu Hongji couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he saw the 'sea of ​​fire' charging towards him!
"what's the situation?!"

Xu Hongji was extremely astonished, and before he could recover, the sound of firecrackers firing crackled in his ears!

"what!"

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, not only soldiers fell beside Xu Hongji, but under the blessing of the night, the surrounding soldiers who had not fallen behind basically could only see the people beside them.

Hearing the heart-piercing screams from the comrades in front of them, the soldiers who were already a little confused by the night attack suddenly became extremely frightened.

Especially the light that appeared in front of them, like cavalry descended from the sky, moving quickly under the light of torches, charging towards them!

"Kill! The general has an order to conquer Xuzhou, and everyone will be rewarded with one tael of silver! Brothers, kill!"

"Da Ming wins! Your Majesty wins!"

"Those who kneel and beg for surrender will not die!"

"Kill! Kill!"

"..."

At the same time, all kinds of shouts of killing came from all directions, which made people dizzy for a while. I didn't know where the sound came from, only that there seemed to be enemy troops everywhere!

"Don't panic, form an array, form a square and circular array! According to the formation method that will be practiced in the mansion, form an array!"

Although Xu Hongji was also panicked, but according to his understanding of the army formation in his brain, he shouted loudly, wanting to integrate the soldiers: "Uncle Xin Cheng, quickly..."

Before Xu Hongji could finish speaking, he was astonished to find that Zhao Zhilong, Uncle Xin Cheng, whom he had placed high hopes on, had retreated without a fight, leaving behind his troops and running away with dozens of cronies!

And just when Xu Hongji was stunned, the cavalry charging with the 'sea of ​​fire' was already close at hand!
Through the firelight, Xu Hongji could even see the charging face!
To be honest, there were not many cavalry charging, only one or two hundred cavalry, but because the situation could not be seen clearly at night, and the visual effect of the "sea of ​​fire" was shocking, and the surrounding shouted and killed, Xu Hongji's army fell into chaos for a while, and the army of ten thousand people was overwhelmed by two hundred cavalry!
"kill!"

Under the charge of the cavalry, Xu Hongji's army fell into collapse easily. Xu Hongji was also flustered, drawing his sword and looking around in a daze, so he had to break through towards Xuzhou under the protection of a few loyal servants.

But at this moment, a large group of soldiers surrounded him, and among the soldiers, a general who looked quite elegant and familiar to Xu Hongji was silently looking at Xu Hongji.

"I am Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, quickly take me to meet your general!"

Although surrounded by groups, Xu Hongji was not worried, but spoke proudly.

He believed that with Wei Guogong's status, he would at most be beaten to the end and demoted to a commoner, and he would definitely not die because of this.

who is he?He is Wei Guogong, the number one wealthy family in Ming Dynasty!

But after hearing Xu Hongji's words, the veteran who looked a little familiar didn't hesitate, directly raised his horsewhip, whipped Xu Hongji severely, and angrily said: "Who do you say you are?!"

Xu Hongji suddenly felt a burst of pain, and suddenly he was furious, and immediately yelled at the old general: "You are really blind, my father is the Duke of Wei, the blood of the Xu family, the number one hero of the Ming Dynasty, and the nobleman of Tianhuang!"

And that veteran, that is, Xu Da, the head of the Six Kings of the Ming Dynasty, just looked at Xu Hongji coldly, and for the first time he was angry since he came to the Chongzhen Dynasty.

"Aristocrat? I, Xu Da, was born in a farmer's family. I threw food in the soil to eat. I never remember my origin!"

Xu Da raised his whip, and directly drew a bloodstain on Xu Hongji's face: "I have been a soldier all my life, but I never thought that my final fame would be defeated by you unworthy descendants!"

Xu Hongji was greatly astonished under the pain.

Along with Xu Da's words, he also remembered where he had seen this familiar face.

In the clan ancestral hall, on the portrait of the first Wei Guogong enshrined.

In other words, the person in front of him is his ancestor, Zhongshan King Xu Da!
"how can that be?!"
