The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 182 Give him a ride

It should be that Jiang Zhengxi's troops are attacking the enemy, Zhu Linmi immediately ordered the whole army to speed up and rush to the fierce battle between the two armies.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly heard the sound of a gong being knocked, he frowned slightly, and thought to himself, he didn't know if it was because the captives were defeated and ordered to retreat, or if Jiang Zhengxi's people couldn't bear it and retreated at Mingjin.

While he was thinking, he saw several horses galloping forward.Shi Lin immediately ordered the personal soldiers to block Zhu Linmi behind him, raised the flintlocks together, and opened the guns to be cautious.

Those cavalrymen reined in their horses and stopped when they were [-] or [-] steps away from the Dragon Guards. One of them shouted: "Purple Qi is coming from the east."

It turned out that Wang Xian's troops had not been gathered yet, and some scouts came to report in a hurry, saying that they found a large group of troops galloping from the north.

Wang Xiangang and Fan Shaozu had an oolong quarrel, he didn't dare to be hasty at the moment, he hurriedly ordered his bodyguards to bring a few people to question them with passwords, and on the other hand he hurriedly ordered the team to gather in case of enemy attack.

When Zhu Linmi heard the words "Purple Qi coming from the east", she knew that it was Jianlu who came.

After defeating Zhang Yingmeng's men, Jin Jie reported to him that Jianlu had shouted at him in front of the battle, "Purple Qi is coming from the east".

He immediately asked Shi Lin to interrogate several captured Jianlu officers.Those captives couldn't stand Shi Lin's "talking" method, and quickly confessed that this was their password to recognize each other at night, and they also said it together with how to answer it.

Zhu Linmi winked at Shi Lin, who immediately said, "For generations to come. Beifeng?"

"Move mountains."

Zhu Linmi nodded, and instructed Shi Lin in a low voice, "Just say we are Zhang Yingmeng's department, and try to find out the other party's details."

"My own people." Shi Lin continued to shout, "We are members of General Zhang Shen. Which lord are you under?"

"We are under Wang Zuoling's department."

Zhu Linmi said in a low voice again: "Ask who they are fighting with, and who retreated after Mingjin."

Shi Lin yelled again as he said, but the other party said dejectedly: "It was the flood that rushed to the Dragon King Temple. Just now when Fan Can led the camp back, he was mistaken for a southerner to attack the stronghold. Master Erdenbu ordered my general to lead the team to fight. Fan Canling sent someone to contact, only to find out that there was a misunderstanding, and my general ordered the guards."

In this way, the front is full of Jian captives, so where is Jiang Zhengxi?Looking from a distance, Zhu Linmei saw two Qing army teams entangled together in the night, it seemed that the "misunderstanding" just now made them a little confused.

"Send hussars to continue searching for Jiang Zhengxi's troops."

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmi then whispered to Shi Lin, "First capture the captive soldiers who came to join us, and torture them carefully, beware of fraud."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Shi Lin chatted loudly with Wang Zuoling's men to distract them, and at the same time signaled the second platoon of personal soldiers to put out the torch, and quietly groped towards those people.

Looking at the scene of people yelling and neighing in front of him, Zhu Linmei couldn't help smiling, "Although we haven't found Jiang Zhengxi, this trip was not in vain. Since Jianu is in a mess, we'll see him off."

He turned around and ordered Zhu Jiadi and Zhao Shichao, "Taking advantage of the disordered formation of the captive army, the heavy cavalry battalion broke in from the center of the enemy and divided it. The hussars followed closely and caused chaos in the enemy's formation. Jianlu should not know the identity of our army right now. One can be put to good use.”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmi continued to give instructions: "Xia Fu first led the dragoons under his command to go around to the west of Jianlu to form an formation to block the prisoners who wanted to flee back to the enemy camp.

"The infantry deployed in a battalion in a line formation, forming a semi-encirclement situation against the enemy formation. When the cavalry disrupted the enemy formation, they immediately approached and killed the enemy. It is not easy to command at night. Pay attention to coordination among the battalions to ensure that they do not behave chaotically. want.

"The personal soldier company and the hunters are the reserve team, ready to respond at any time."

"Yes!"

All the officers of the Dragon Guard left to carry out their orders, and the second platoon of personal soldiers had already captured the man Wang Xian sent to join him.

After a while, Shi Lin reported to Zhu Linming: "My lord, just now the captives confessed. In front of them is the Qing army under Wang Xian and Fan Shaozu, with a total of more than [-] people. There are three cannons in the enemy camp, and they should be able to shoot far. and here."

Zhu Linmei nodded, "It's okay, let's make a quick decision. We will leave the battlefield immediately after eating thousands of prisoners in front of us."

……

Wang Xian didn't see the guards who had been dispatched to join him back for a while, and he was anxious when he heard the heavy sound of horseshoes coming from far and near.He was very familiar with this sound, it was the sound of cavalry charging in formation.

He yelled in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers who had just retreated to form an array to meet the enemy in the north.

Not wanting the cavalry to be far away, they shouted "Purple Qi is coming from the east" and "We are members of General Zhang", which made Wang Xian feel a little dazed.His soldiers even looked back at the general, not knowing how to respond.

Fan Shaozu's side was even more chaotic.A moment ago, the person Fan Shaozu sent to check the password finally came back and reported to him that the one fighting him was the troops led by Wang Xian and Wang Zuo.

Fan Shaozu was wondering why the "enemy army" retreated suddenly, at this moment he suddenly understood, looked up, and saw that his men had chased Wang Xian's troops for more than a hundred steps, and were chopping vigorously.

He hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, but some of his own soldiers pointed to the north side and exclaimed that there were cavalry attacking.

Fan Shaozu was taken aback, although he suspected that these might still be his own people, but it was difficult to identify them in the middle of the night, so he had to form a defense first.

He had no choice but to shout loudly to order the horses to line up on the north side, ready to meet the enemy.

It was rare for his troops to have a full meal tonight, and at this time they were fighting vigorously, when they suddenly heard the sound of the Chinese army's gongs, they could only let the "enemy army" go and retreat.

But just a few steps back, Wang Xian ordered to line up to meet the enemy again.Under the dim light of the torches, it was difficult to see where the command flag was pointing. Immediately, a junior officer understood that the ringing of gold was a mistake, and the general still ordered him to meet the enemy, so he raised his sword and led the team to charge towards Wang Xian.

There were also officers who heard Ming Jin and heard that they formed an array to meet the enemy, and thought that they were too scattered when they were chasing the enemy just now, so the general ordered them to stop and organize their formation.So he hurriedly ordered to end the battle.

There were also those who retreated to the main formation following Ming Jin's order and were at a loss, and some who correctly understood Wang Xian's intention to form an formation on the north side.The most messy ones were the soldiers guarding the grain carts. The people Wang Xian sent to burn the "siege equipment" hadn't left yet.

Zhu Jiadi pointed forward with the cavalry sword in his hand, and ordered loudly.

"Fast forward!"

"charge!"

The night was dark, and he couldn't see clearly when he was far away before, and he thought that he would face Jianlu who was waiting in full force.

Unexpectedly, when he rushed to about thirty steps away from the enemy, he was surprised to see that the enemy's formation was in chaos as if they were going to a market.Although some captive soldiers had already gathered in one place, with their swords and spears rushing out, reluctantly putting on an attitude of defending against the enemy, but most of the captive soldiers were huddled together in a mess.

There are even people fighting each other within the captive army.

He instantly selected an unguarded place, shouted, "Kill!" and rushed straight in with his sword.
