The imperial army, which had just run out of the city five miles away, was trapped in a pincer attack. It was at the end of its rope. Ordinarily, the imperial army had 70,000 troops, nearly twice as many as the enemy, so they should not be at a disadvantage. However, war is not about calculation.

Question, war has nothing to do with mathematics. War is not only about the number of troops, but also about strategy and tactics, and even more about the morale of the troops.

The imperial army now has nothing but a numerical advantage. The enemy is different. They have been planning for so long and have lost so much. It can be called a desperate move. Whether you can become a king or a defeated enemy depends on whether you can defeat them.

The emperor got it. Therefore, the oncoming enemy was like a wild bull, not caring about anything but rushing towards the final goal.

The camps that the imperial army had hastily set up were not enough to withstand the crazy attack of the enemy. If they wanted to protect the emperor, they had to defend the fortified city. Xu Huizu knew this. However, they had just escaped from the city of Peiping, and

The next fortified city, Bazhou City, was dozens of miles away, and it was impossible to rush there.

The flickering light from the torch danced on Xu Huizu's face, and just when he was desperate and helpless, a flying pigeon message was suddenly sent to the city, bringing him a very surprising news: Beiping City has returned.

It was taken back.

"Is this true or false? How can we take back the city that has clearly been breached? It's clear that all the troops have withdrawn, who is still fighting?" With this series of questions, he came to Jianjian

Emperor Wen's imperial account reported the matter to the emperor and asked for instructions whether to break out in the direction of Peiping.

When Emperor Jianwen and his ministers heard the good news, they were as surprised as Xu Huizu and had an attitude of disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this news must be a trick of the enemy. Don't pay attention to it. Just hold on to the spot. King Qin's army from Bazhou, Baoding and other places will arrive soon." Huang Zicheng said.

"The enemy is powerful. If we hold on there, we might not be able to hold on." Xu Huizu said with a frown.

"This is a trick of the enemy. The purpose is to lure our troops to leave the camp. How can we fall into the trap?" Huang Zicheng still insisted on holding on to the camp, but as always, Emperor Jianwen still looked hesitant.

"As for whether it is a trick of the enemy, we will find out if we send people to take a look. The secret report also said that reinforcements have been dispatched in the city and will be killed soon. We should make preparations and cooperate with them inside and outside to get out of danger." Xu Huizu

road.

"Xu Aiqing has a clever idea, but it doesn't matter." Jianwen heard another burst of fighting sounds coming from outside, and knew that staying here was not an option. If the king of a country does not become a prisoner, he must rely on his ability to fight.

The one who beat him. And after Xu Huizu was a famous general who founded the country, he had some facts. Emperor Jianwen knew this very well. At this time, he had to rely on him to turn the tide.

Xu Huizu looked at the people around him. Emperor Jianwen understood and waved to everyone to leave. Xu Huizu whispered: "Your Majesty, please take off your dragon robe and crown and disguise yourself as an ordinary sergeant. When the reinforcements arrive, we will divide our troops into two groups to break out.

, the army moved south to divert the enemy troops, and I escorted His Majesty to the west, running wildly to avoid the enemy troops, and then headed north into Beiping City."

"This plan is really feasible, what if something unexpected happens along the way?" Emperor Jianwen still looked hesitant.

"I risk my life to protect you and ensure that your majesty is safe. However, this matter is of great importance and must not be leaked to anyone, not even close ministers."

"Ah, if we don't inform the ministers, wouldn't something happen to them?" Emperor Jianwen frowned and said, that's not the case. Using the ministers as bait and the emperor running away on his own is indeed not very honest.

"The military situation is urgent, and it is important to protect the Holy Lord. We will not hesitate to abandon our soldiers to save our chariots. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision immediately."

"Qi Aiqing and Huang Aiqing are my two brothers, and I can't bear to abandon them."

"Well, just take the two of them, the others can't protect them."

"Come here..." Emperor Jianwen was about to call someone, but was stopped by Xu Huizu, "Your Majesty, there may be spies in the army. This matter must not be leaked! Your Majesty, please sit here for a while. I will go out to do business. I will be here in a moment.

"Back"

Xu Huizu persuaded Emperor Jianwen and left the imperial tent. He called a dozen young soldiers nearby and asked, "Which of you is already married?"

"Is your subordinate already married?" asked the six soldiers.

"Who has a son left?"

"Go back to your father-in-law, I have two sons and one daughter in my family." A soldier said.

"Okay, you stay, the others will go and tie up Qitai Huang Zicheng immediately, and tie him to the horse." Xu Huizu waved his hand, and the soldiers went to do things immediately without asking any questions, and the soldier who was left behind seemed to

I also knew that I had more important tasks to do by myself, so I listened quietly.

"How long have you been with me?" Xu Huizu patted the soldier on the shoulder and asked.

"It's been five years! My father-in-law has been as kind to me as a mountain. If I'm asked to do something for you, I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."

"I really have a difficult thing for you to do now, and you may have to lose your life. However, you can rest assured that as long as this errand is done, I will not treat your wife, children, and children badly."

"Young master, let me do whatever you want."

Xu Huizu was planning intensively, but a big controversy arose in the enemy formation. The person supervising the battle was none other than the "King of Yan" Zhu Gaoxu. When he heard that Beiping City had been gained and lost, he was immediately panicked, and some generals were also a little frightened.

, that fateful fierce battle on a snowy night a month ago was tumbling in their minds again. If this time was like last time, it would be really tragic.

Fortunately, the old monk Dao Yan was here. When he saw that the generals were a little flustered, he said: "Your Highness, if you have accomplished this feat, in this battle, as long as you defeat the imperial army and capture the emperor, you will not be afraid that the city of Beiping will not surrender.

"

"What the military adviser said is absolutely true. With the emperor in hand, the world is in control. The only solution now is to attack the imperial army fiercely and fight quickly to prevent it from happening again." Ma Sanbao also said.

"Okay, pass the order, the whole army must assemble and launch an assault!" The order was passed down, but Zhu Gaoxu still had a sad look on his face, because he had already expected that there were a bunch of life-hungry people in Beiping City, and even if the emperor had it in his hands, they might not be able to knock him down.

Open the city of Beiping. Last time, with a large number of princes and princes in hand, didn't they fail to subdue the gang of desperadoes?

If the city of Beiping cannot be knocked open, the Yan army will have no base. Even if they have the emperor, they will still be chased and beaten. However, now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired! If you want to blame it, blame the army that entered the city. Why?

He was so disrespectful to the Yan army and was actually destroyed by others. What a loser!

You must know that those who came to raid Peiping were the most elite troops of the Yan Army, with a total of 70,000 people. The remaining nearly 100,000 troops and refugees were patchworked together under the leadership of Chen Heng, pretending to be the main force of the Yan Army, attracting

More than 200,000 troops from the anti-Northern Army came out of Mobei and launched an armed march.

As the saying goes, it is better to have more elite troops than more troops, that is to say, if these 70,000 people are used well, they can defeat the tripod in one battle. No, under Dao Yan's plan, this army secretly bypassed the Yanshan defense line and stormed Malanyu.

When Jizhou entered the pass, we did not attack the city or knock on the pass along the way, just to attack Peiping.

Since most of the elite troops of the imperial army had gone north, and the defenses around Peiping were empty, the Yan army felt as if they were in an uninhabited territory. They won dozens of battles along the way, and the imperial army was so frightened that they fled in panic, but they just happened to be in Peiping.

In the city, they who were careless and underestimated the enemy received a heavy blow, which made them suddenly remember: Beiping City is not an undefended city.

"It must be Wan Lei who is causing trouble again! When I break through Beiping, I will slaughter all the livestock in Beiping City!" Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth and once again urged his troops to charge immediately.

The Yan army launched a large-scale assault, and the imperial army's camp was unable to withstand it. Soon, a large hole was opened in the military camp. The Yan army's iron hooves rushed in, venting their anger at the loss of the city on the imperial army's small soldiers, and hacking them all the way.

They killed indiscriminately. And the imperial army was also in complete chaos. The emperor's car flew southward with no life under the protection of the guards, while the small soldiers had no one to command, and they all scattered and started to run for their lives.

The target of the Yan army was the emperor. When he saw that the emperor was fleeing south, he immediately joined forces to pursue him without bothering to encircle and suppress the small soldiers. At this time, there were bursts of rumbling explosions from the north. Zhu Gaoxu looked back and saw a body of soldiers.

A variety of cavalrymen appeared behind him.

Different from ordinary cavalry and archery teams, they do not use bows and arrows, but use muskets. At a glance, you can tell that they come from Peiping City, because this is the standard configuration of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Imperial Guards escaped in a hurry just now

, they forgot to bring all the guys with them, and now these life-threatening guys have fallen into the hands of a group of people who don't want lives.

Don't underestimate these muskets. They can be used as stabbing guns or as swinging iron rods. What's more terrible is that they have a firing port that can fire aluminum bullets when ignited. Although the muskets are complicated to load, when firing

Generally, only one gun can be fired. However, this motley army is a bunch of losers. Everyone has five or six guns on their backs. They fire the gun when they take it out. After firing the gun, they swing it at people. After swinging it, they change it again.

Another gun was fired, but the gunshots were fired one after another, and the Yan army was hit so hard that it couldn't even lift its head.

Seeing that his back door was completely blasted, Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he jumped up and immediately divided his troops to block it. But when he formed a formation and prepared to meet the enemy, he found that the incoming man turned around and ran westward without following him at all.

Zhu Gaoxu naturally couldn't let them come and leave whenever they wanted, so he immediately ordered General Zhang Wu to lead the cavalry to pursue them in order to annihilate the enemy.

Since it was almost dawn at this time, it was the darkest moment before dawn. The motley army started to divide its troops as they ran, throwing away all the torches in their hands and submerging themselves into the endless darkness. Zhang Wu thought again

Even if you chase, you can't catch up.

At this time, the vanguard of the Yan army once again intercepted the emperor's imperial guards. After several charges and killings, the imperial guards could no longer hold on and surrendered to death. The chariot fell into the siege of the Yan army.

However, when a general opened the curtain, there was a loud bang, and the commander suddenly exploded into pieces. The ambushed generals were all thrown several meters away, and dozens of them were killed or injured.
