Chapter 26

Altan Khan was very angry. His son was not sure about his life and death now. The key is that his army was actually defeated by the Ming army. When did the Ming army become so brave?

Before, they were all suppressing them, but the Ming army did not dare to fight. Now that they actually caused such great casualties to their army, it would be great.

Altan Khan commanded the army and rushed to the capital. On the way, the Tatar generals knew what was going on, and they were all very angry. When they were halfway through, they encountered a retreating army.

Altan Khan called the two masters over.

"Khan, they have something on their hands that can explode and it is very powerful. Exploding in many places, the soldiers within a radius of more than ten steps will be blown down. If we charge like this now, we will not be able to beat them!" The head general of the Nanda Camp said to Altan Khan.

"Yes, I originally wanted to lead the army to rescue the north, but before I could rush in, my army suffered huge casualties. I even said that I didn't know what was injured by something. Until we retreated, the Ming army chased us, we knew that they were throwing things out with their hands and then exploded. Khan, now we may not be able to fight!" The head general of the Dongda Camp also said to Altan Khan.

"My son wants to see people in his birth and die. Besides, if the Ming Dynasty really had such powerful weapons, why could it be surrounded by us for so many days? Even if they had one, they wouldn't have many. You just said that the Ming army would not exceed 5,000 people from the Ming Dynasty's capital. We have more than 50,000 people, but we can't beat such a few people?" Altan Khan stared at them angrily and shouted.

"Khan, it's not that he can't beat him, it's dark. We have no idea what the other party is using, so the soldiers are panicked." The head general in the east looked at Altan Khan and said.

"Yes, it's dark and the soldiers are afraid, so the Ming army has an opportunity to take advantage of it." The head general of Nandaying also spoke.

"Calendar me and kill those 5,000 people completely, otherwise, where is my Tatar face?" Altan Khan said angrily, staring at the direction of the capital,

On Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao and his friends had already arrived in the dense forest in the north to clean up the corpses.

"Hey, this person is very high. Look, it's really true that everyone around him is Tatar officer, dad, dad!" While wandering around, Zhang Hao found the Tatar Central Army tent. There were many corpses outside the Central Army tent, including one of them, and there were many Tatar generals lying on top of them.

Zhang Rong heard Zhang Hao's shouting and brought the officers over.

"Dad, look, this person should be a big shot!" Zhang Hao pointed to the corpse and said to Zhang Rong. Zhang Rong also came over to look at him, and a commander went over to flip his body.

"Mr., look, this is his seal, this jade pendant, and the sword, he is indeed a big shot." The commander handed the thing to Zhang Rong, and Zhang Rong took the seal and opened it.

"Huang Taiji? Huang Taiji!" Zhang Rong looked at the words and his eyes widened. Then he looked at the people around him, and then said to Zhang Hao: "Good boy, haha, the big prince of Tatar, the big prince Huang Taiji, hahaha!"

Zhang Rong was so excited that he never dreamed that he could kill someone with such a high status in his enemy.

"Big Prince?" The subordinates also looked at Zhang Rong in shock when they heard this.

"That's right, Huang Taiji, the eldest prince of Tatar, okay, okay!" Zhang Rong was still very excited.

At this time, a cavalry came over, turned over and dismounted, and shouted to Zhang Rong: "Dude, 30 miles away from this place, a large-scale cavalry of Tatars are coming here!"

"What?" Zhang Rong was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Tatar army would dare to come.

"Dad, will we go back to the city or continue fighting here?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Zhang Rong and asked.

"Come here, go and notify the city immediately. Open the city gate and we are going back to the city!" Zhang Rong shouted loudly, "You can't fight anymore. You can win such a big battle at night because of the darkness. The Tatars couldn't figure out the situation of the Ming army, but now it's dawn and the soldiers are tired. If they still want to fight, they may suffer a big loss!

"Yes!" A messenger behind heard this and immediately rode his horse.

"Dad, we may not be able to enter the city!" Zhang Hao thought for a moment, and according to yesterday afternoon, Ding Rukui came to find his father, hoping that his father would fight. He obviously hoped that his father would die on the battlefield, and achieving such a victory was not good for Ding Rukui.

"Hmm?" Zhang Rong looked at Zhang Hao in confusion.

"Dad, make preparations for both hands. Anyway, everything is ready. Once the messenger brings back the news, the city gate will be opened. It is not too late for us to go back. Now, we need to cut down the big trees outside and block the Tatar cavalry from rushing in. Of course, we also need to leave two roads for us to go back!" Zhang Hao said to Zhang Rong.

"Dude, the Major General is right. Once we cannot return to the city, if we are not in the dense forest, we will not be able to stop the charge of the Tatar cavalry! There are not many people in our place." Chen Du, the guerrilla general behind, thought about it and said to Zhang Rong.

"Go and do it now!" Zhang Rong didn't think about it anymore. Now he believed in his son.

"Yes!" Several generals went to do it immediately, and Zhang Hao was also preparing to twist the copper hammer and wanted to go to the front to take a look, but Zhang Rong grabbed it.

"Dad?" Zhang Hao looked at his father incomprehensible.

"Haoer, come here, dad has something to say to you!" Zhang Rong said and pulled Zhang Hao to the side.

"If you can't win, you can just take the soldiers into the dense forest. The Tatars dare not chase them too deeply. They must go back alive. Did you hear that?" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao in a low voice.

"Dad, you have to go together!" Zhang Hao looked at his father in surprise.

"Hao'er, you heard from my father that if Ding Rukui doesn't open the city gate this time, you must find a way to go back to Beijing and tell the emperor to escape back to justice for his father and the sacrificed soldiers. If they can open the city gate, it will be fine. Remember, my father is the chief general, and my father cannot leave the soldiers behind, do you hear that!" Zhang Rong stared at Zhang Hao very sternly and said.

"Dad, no, I promised me, I want to take you back together!" Zhang Hao still refused, and was very moved.

"Just go back, dad can't go back. Dad would rather die in battle than escape. Otherwise, what face does my Ming soldiers have? What face does my British Duke's Mansion have?" Zhang Rong continued to lower Shen Yong, and said in a very firm tone.

Before Zhang Hao could speak, Zhang Rong patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Dad is very pleased to see you being able to command the war. After all, my Duke's Mansion in the UK still has successors. Remember what Dad said!"

After Zhang Rong finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhang Hao followed him and wanted to say something, but Zhang Rong stopped him.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to carry a copper hammer and rush forward. When he arrived at the soldiers, Zhang Hao also took the axe and started cutting down trees, putting those trees down, hindering the Tatar cavalry's charge. On the side of the palace, Ding Rukui had just reported the war outside the city.

"What did you say? The Tatars outside the city have retreated? Zhang Yong won the battle? Haha, okay!" Jiajing was so excited when he heard his report. He immediately stood up from the platform and walked quickly in the Danfang.

"Congratulations to the emperor, God bless the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Song also bowed his hand and said. After hearing this, the other ministers congratulated each other. Then Jiajing thought of something and turned to Ding Rukui and asked, "Why has Zhang Rong not returned to the city yet? The battlefield is outside the city. If you want to come back, it is not allowed for a quarter of an hour!"

"This may be because I'm still cleaning the battlefield, so I can't come back!" Ding Rukui immediately replied, this was a countermeasure that I had thought of a long time ago.

"Okay, go to the city wall immediately. Once Zhang Rong comes back, let him come to see me immediately!" Jiajing pointed at Ding Rukui and explained.

"Yes, I'm leaving!" Ding Rukui kowtowed immediately, then stood up and retreated. After leaving Yuxi Palace, Ding Rukui quickly got on his horse and said to the person he brought, "Go to the north!"

As he said that, he activated his horse to go to the north and arrived at the north wall. Ding Rukui went directly to the city wall.

"Is there any news about the Duke of England?" Ding Rukui stepped on the city wall and asked a general here directly.

"Not yet, but look, if there is a messenger coming, there will be news soon!" The general pointed to the messenger running in the distance and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ding Rukui stood there waiting, and soon the messenger arrived.

"Report, the British public order, the Tatar army is about to come. Please open the city gate quickly and our army will return to the city!" The messenger stopped his horse and shouted to the city wall.

"What? The Tatar army?" Ding Rukui was happy when he heard this, and then immediately said to the messenger below: "You can't go back to the city. The Tatar army is coming. If you do not retreat in time, it will cause danger to the capital. Go back and tell the British Duke and let him continue to hold on. The red cannons on the side of the city wall will also support them!"

"What, Lord Shangshu, I haven't seen the shadow of Tatar yet, and they have every time to retreat!" When the general heard this, he shouted anxiously at Ding Rukui.

"No, if you do not retreat in time and something happens to the capital, can you take responsibility?" Ding Rukui stared at the gangster angrily and said.

"But, the Tatar army is coming, how can the British Duke hold on?" the general shouted anxiously.
