Chapter 23 Pursue the Victory
Chapter 23
The cavalry on the east side of the Tatar quickly rushed over with long swords.
But just arrived at the edge of the dense forest and found that it could not rush through and was blocked by many collapsed trees.
"Ouch!" A grenade hit the head of a Tatar soldier. The soldier uched, and then a loud bang. The soldier felt as if he had flew up and fell heavily to the ground.
Then there was a constant explosion of "boom boom boom" and many cavalry who had just rushed up fell to the ground without knowing what was going on, while the cavalry behind them were still charging.
"Stop, stop charging, stop charging!" the general behind shouted loudly.
This is awesome. Just now, at least a few hundred people fell down here. If you continue to charge, you will be seeking death.
"Brothers, follow me later!" Zhang Hao stood there, shouting loudly, followed by hundreds of cavalrymen.
"Yes!" the cavalry behind shouted loudly.
After the Tatar stopped, he carefully observed the forest and didn't know what to do.
Until now, they still don’t know what they were defeated, so why so many people fell down, it’s unreasonable!
"General, what should I do now?" An officer came to the Tatar general and asked anxiously.
The general's face was gloomy and he couldn't make a decision now. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were in the dense forest, but now they knew nothing about the situation inside. The key is that the eldest prince is still inside. If the eldest prince dies, then the matter will be big.
"General, we can't stand here all the time, right?" another officer also said to the general.
"Go inform the other two directions and ask them to send reinforcements too. We may not be their opponent!" The general said when he thought of this.
"Yes!" Several messengers rode out.
But now he is still hesitating whether to kill him.
"Brothers, kill!" At this time, a shout came from the other side, and then a large number of horse hooves were heard.
After Zhang Hao asked the soldiers to move a few routes, he led the cavalry and came out. Now he can't let them go. While it's dark, they can't figure out the situation and kill them first.
"Preparation!" The Tatars were also ready to fight. The archers pulled the bows and prepared to shoot. The soldiers on Zhang Hao and the others held shields in one hand and grenades in the other, pulled the lead with their teeth, and then threw them forward.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Boom!" The boom sounded again, and the Tatar soldiers in the front were blown up and flew up. The war horses were frightened and scrambled around and collided with the Tatar formation behind.
"Boom, boom!"
"Retreat, retreat, retreat quickly!" The general behind saw that it was amazing. If you explode like this, you can't stand it!
Moreover, many soldiers in front were blown off their horses, and the horses did not dare to rush forward, but they only dared to run backward. Even the war horses under their crotch began to stand up uneasy. If they had not been held back, the war horses would have turned around and ran.
"withdraw!"
"Kill!" The Tatar retreated, while Zhang Hao shouted to kill.
Then Zhang Rong also led the infantry to press forward, but there were still many Tatar soldiers who were not killed. Now the infantry needed to kill them.
The Tatars ran away in fear, and Zhang Hao kept chasing them all the way east. Now the soldiers no longer use shields or grenades, but just bows and arrows. Anyway, the Tatar soldiers have exposed their backs, so they will not let go of such an opportunity.
If there are too many people, or if the Tatar soldiers dare to turn around, they will immediately throw the grenades. Now the soldiers are very clear that this grenade is very useful. Once they throw it over, they can blow up a large area.
On Jiajing's side, Jiajing was very sad, but at this time he heard the explosion again and became energetic. He immediately stood up from the Taoist platform without even wearing shoes. He went to the back of Yuxi Palace and looked north and found that there was another fire there.
"Listen, listen, it sounds again, and there is a fire!" Jiajing pointed to the north excitedly at this moment and shouted to Lu Fang who was following behind.
"Yes, the emperor, the British Duke is still fighting, he is still there!" Lu Fang was also very excited at this moment. He was still fighting, which means he might still be alive.
"Okay, okay, I've been persisting for so long. The situation outside is unclear now. If I still persist after dawn, I will save them no matter what!" Jiajing was very excited. This time, no matter what, he used the courage of the Ming soldiers.
"Yes, the emperor, the British Duke or the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what era, they are the British Duke!" Lu Fang also said happily.
After hearing this, Jiajing nodded.
Outside the city wall, Yan Song and the others dared not go back. They thought Zhang Rong was probably dead before, but now they heard the explosion again, and they all looked at the north side in a dumbfounded manner.
Xu Pengju, who was sitting on the ground wiping his tears, stood up excitedly at this moment. He thought his son-in-law and his little grandson were dead, but unexpectedly, they started fighting again.
"Okay, hahaha, my son-in-law is still here, still here!" Xu Pengju shouted happily, and then he was about to go to the north wall, but someone next to him grabbed him.
"Duke of Wei, you can't go. Now we have to wait for the emperor to summon him. Although the emperor is asleep, what if he is summoned, we will be rude!" The official said to Xu Pengju.
"This...hey! I..." Xu Pengju was so anxious that he wanted to go to the north wall to see it, but now the etiquette here is here, so he dare not leave.
"Well, Duke Wei, it's still fighting now, which means there is nothing big, so don't worry!" At this time, Yan Song also spoke.
He could do such kindness, but it seemed to be kindness. In fact, he was afraid that Xu Pengju would order the soldiers to go out to rescue him after the north wall, which would disrupt his plan. Xu Pengju stared at Yan Song fiercely, then turned around and sat down.
Outside the city, the Tatar soldiers that Zhang Hao and his others had already hunted began to run east.
The only regret is that there are too few war horses. Zhang Hao and the others didn't bring many war horses at all, only 5,000. At first, they were worried that the footsteps of the war horses would arouse the alertness of the Tatar soldiers. At the same time, they thought that they were probably besieged and it would be useless for them to fight the horses, but they didn't expect that now they are chasing the enemy and fighting, and the power of this big firecracker is too great.
"Major General, Dongdaying is right in front of you. Should I kill me?" A lieutenant rode on his horse and shouted at Zhang Hao.
"Don't you kill me and keep it for the New Year? Kill me!" Zhang Hao waved his copper hammer, and the soldiers took out the firecrackers and began to rush forward. When they were about to reach the periphery of the enemy's military camp, the firecrackers were thrown out.
"Retreat, retreat, let all the soldiers from the other three directions retreat!" the Tatar general shouted loudly.
There is no way to fight, let alone charge and fight, even those war horses are frightened and panicked now. With such an explosion, those war horses are also afraid.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!" The explosion continued.
Zhang Rong was in a hurry behind him. There were several kilometers from the north to Dongdaying, and they could not catch up with them no matter how hard they chased them.
"Go, hurry up and go back to the city and let them mobilize 5,000 war horses!" Zhang Rong shouted anxiously.
"Dude, no, who dares to open the city gate in the middle of the night?" another guerrilla general shouted loudly.
Now I will call the city gate, it will definitely not open.
"This...oh, what should I do?" Zhang Rong was so anxious that he couldn't watch them run away.
"General, chase us. Let's go to Dongdaying first. This time we won a great victory, and you can fight no matter how you fight!" The guerrilla general immediately reminded Zhang Rong and said.
Now that the credit is obtained, as long as you don’t lose a lot.
"Chasing, speed up your pace, brothers, chase quickly. Tomorrow, I will pay for you individually, and each person will give you 5 taels of silver!" Zhang Rong shouted loudly, there was no way, his son was still ahead, what if there was something to do!
And on Jiajing, I heard something was wrong now. Why did it explode to the east? It was all in the north before, but now it actually ran to the east.
"Why is it on the east side? Or did I hear it wrong?" Jiajing stood there, doubting his ears, and immediately said to Lu Fang behind him.
"It seems like it is!" Lu Fang was also very surprised. This is not right!
"How long will the palace gate open?" Jiajing asked.
"It's almost half an hour to go back to the emperor, and it's soon." Lu Fang replied looking at Jiajing.
"Yes!" Jiajing walked around outside with his hands behind his back, worried, but he was already expecting it.
The explosion in the east means that Zhang Rong and the others have already reached the east. Why can they go to the east? That is, the Tatar soldiers in the north may have been killed or they will run east.
"Your Majesty, you'd better take a break. I haven't been sleeping all night!" Lu Fang looked at Jiajing worriedly and said.
"It's okay, I'll take a while in the afternoon, and I can't sleep now!" Jiajing waved his hand and said, continuing to pace there, thinking about the situation outside, and sighed in his heart.
If there are enough troops around you, or generals who dare to fight, then you will have to send troops outside to see if you can reinforce Zhang Rong.
But now, he seemed to have no choice but to feel sad in his heart. He even said that he was suspicious of the generals who were preparing to serve the king now, and the ministers in the court were even more suspicious of it.
"Boom boom boom!" The explosion sounded outside continued, but it was getting farther and farther away, and the explosion sound was not that dense, so Jiajing couldn't help but worry again.
Chapter completed!
