He was hesitating, and Chang Jizong, who was standing beside him, suddenly said: "Commander Qin, I see that these tens of thousands of soldiers from the Western Captives are trying to escape, and there are still Ming soldiers chasing after them, so it can be seen that our army has thwarted the Western Captives' attack camp, and Your Majesty should be fine." At this time, the order should be given to leave the camp and block the retreat of the western captives. ”

"Chang Commander, there are only 1,000 Ming soldiers pursuing behind, and there are more than 20,000 Xi captives who are fleeing, how dare a thousand people pursue so many people? The war may not have become clear. Qin Sen said.

"There must be soldiers behind who are not chasing!" Chang Jizong said categorically: "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, this is a good time to destroy the Western Prisoners, how can there be any reason to retreat?" ”

"But," Qin Sen still hesitated.

"Nothing." Chang Jizong turned his head to look at Qin Sen. "Qin commanded the envoys, the imperial court will not treat any soldiers who serve them badly, and the court will give preferential care to the war dead, so that his wife and children will have no worries about food and clothing." Speaking of this, he remembered that Qin Sen's department was a guard from Yongming, and changed his words: "If there are people who die in battle and have no adult brothers, I ask Your Majesty to transfer them to the guard house in the Central Plains, and they will not suffer from cold." ”

"You don't have to worry about my safety." Although Chang Jizong's ability to fight was limited, after so many years of experience in the imperial court, in the guard, and the words and deeds of his family, he quickly saw that Qin Sen was another worried. "My Chang family is by no means a stingy person, how can I entangle your family because of the common things of the soldiers."

Hearing Chang Jizong's words, although Qin Sen was still a little worried, he had no room to shirk, turned his head and commanded loudly: "Soldiers! Xilu has been defeated, Your Majesty has turned the corner, the defeated soldiers of Xilu are about to flee from the camp, the rest of the guards are in pursuit, the soldiers follow me to cut off the retreat of Xilu, and completely annihilate the enemy! He shouted as he jumped down from the barracks, put on his armor and picked up his sword and gun.

When the soldiers heard that Xilu had been defeated, they immediately had high morale and wanted to go out of the camp to fight Xilu. The soldiers guarding the camp gate opened half of the door, and Zhao Xing and Chang An led the troops to rush out first, fighting with the Xiyu.

Salha's heart sank when he saw the Ming army killed out of the camp, but he immediately reacted and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, if you defeat the Ming army in front of you, you can go back and return to the camp." Kill! And took the lead in taking out a steel knife to fight with the Ming army.

Although the morale of the soldiers who fled with Salha was low, the ** who survived at this time defeated the low morale, and all the soldiers tried their best to fight against the soldiers of the Yongming Left Guard in order to go back alive.

The war was at a fever pitch from the start. On the one hand, they want to fight their way out, and on the other hand, they want to block the enemy's way back and make great contributions, and they will not retreat. The Ming army was small, and it was originally a loss, but the road next to the camp was not wide, so it could withstand it.

The pursuers led by Ji also caught up and fought with the western captives who ran last. Unexpectedly, the Western Prisoners, who had been slaughtered by them along the way, also began to resist at this time, and thousands of people turned around and shouted to kill. Seeing this, Ji and Shanglie's guards were afraid that the two of them would lose, and escorted them back.

The rest of the pursuing soldiers were quickly repulsed by the Western Prisoners. Originally, they had little strength left along the way, and they were all supported by one breath, but at this time, the morale of the Xiyu, who was eager to escape, was obviously higher than them, and they successfully repelled them.

Under the escort of the guards, Ji saw that the pursuers he led were repelled by the Western Prisoners, and he was furious in his heart, and said to the guards: "You don't have to protect Lonely, hurry up and help Zhu Suohai and Li Mingfang repel the enemy soldiers." ”

"Your Highness, we can't carry out this order of Your Highness." The leader of his guards said: "Your Highness's safety is the most important, how can we give up Your Highness to fight the enemy!" ”

"It's an order! Must be executed! ”

"Even if His Highness wants to cut off the minister's head later, the minister will never obey the order!" The leader of his guards said categorically.

Ji was helpless, so he could only be dragged away by the guards and looked at the battlefield in front of him.

I don't know how long later, he suddenly heard a huge cheer from the camp in front of him, and immediately said worriedly: "Could it be that the Xilu has already broken away from the blocking of the Yongming Left Guard?" ”

……

……

Qin Sen and Chang Jizong were indeed about to be unable to stop Xiyu. Even though the road was narrow, and it was late at night, and the light was dim and could only be illuminated by flashes of lightning from time to time, their men were much smaller than Salha's soldiers, and the soldiers who were originally guarding them under the camp made the disadvantage even more obvious, often one soldier had to deal with two Western soldiers, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Chang An used the means of exchanging injuries for his life, and he desperately suffered a knife to hack the Xilu in front of him to death, and hacked the other two enemies to death with the help of his subordinates, just at this time a lightning flashed, he saw where Zhao Xing was, and hurriedly led his subordinates to run, and hacked to death a Xilu who was about to attack Zhao Xing from behind, leaned over and shouted: "Zhao Xing, the brothers can't hold on, retreat quickly!" ”

"But the commander has not yet given the order to withdraw the troops." Zhao Xing said hesitantly.

"What are you waiting for the commander's order! By the time he had given the order, we would have become a corpse long ago! Chang An said again. From the very beginning, Qin Sen gave the order to intercept it, and he felt bad that he might not be able to stop it; But firstly, this was the order of the commander, and he did not dare to disobey it, and secondly, he was also lucky, thinking that the western captives might be desperate to surrender directly when they saw them, so they came out together.

But I didn't expect that not only did the Xilu not surrender, but they didn't even try to make a detour, and fought directly with them. Watching his subordinates die in battle one after another, he had already scolded Qin Sen's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, and made up his mind to withdraw. In his opinion, Silu was in a hurry to flee for his life, and he would definitely not pay attention to those who escaped from the camp and no longer hindered their way of life, and he would be able to live.

Zhao Xing also hesitated. He didn't want to die, or no one wanted to die under normal circumstances. At this time, they are not trapped in a desperate situation, they will die, as long as they escape back to the camp, they can live, who wants to die?

But this is a crime of battlefield disobedience and the possibility of losing his head, and he does not dare to give it lightly.

Just as he was thinking, Xi Lu rushed up again, and he fought hard to kill two people, but the guards next to him also killed two people in order to protect him. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xing finally made up his mind to withdraw. Even if he was later executed for battlefield disobedience, his guards would always survive. These guards have been with him for a few years and have a deep affection, since they are dead no matter what, it is better to let them live.

Zhao Xing was about to say the order to withdraw. But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground suddenly sounded.

"Assault of the whole army!" Cao Xing shouted loudly.

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" In the darkness, countless soldiers said yes and drove their horses forward.

Cao Xing led the soldiers of the left and right guards of the government army to the south to rescue His Majesty, and when he was about to arrive at the other five Shangzhiwei garrisons, he received an order from Xu Huizu to ask him to rescue Quan Ningwei.

Xu Huizu finally thought about it, and only issued this order to the left and right guards of the government army, first, the left and right guards of the government army have horses, and the speed is the fastest, if they can't rescue in time, the other guards are just in vain; Second, because the horses were placed in Quanningwei, the left and right guards of the government army were most familiar with the road to Quanningwei; Thirdly, they have horses in their hands, and if they have already startled the horses when they arrive, they can also use horses against horses to counteract the consequences of the enemy's horses.

Cao Xing led the troops to Quanningwei, the entire Quanningwei was empty, he was suddenly frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't see the horses running around, and he was puzzled, and he saw a few soldiers wearing Ming military uniforms walking out of the camp.

Cao Xing immediately ordered several of them to be captured and interrogated. There are so many people who may be spies.

After interrogation, Cao Xing determined that they were the soldiers of Quan Ningwei, and learned what Xu Youde had led his troops for. Cao Xing scolded Xu Youde a few words, but at this time he couldn't stop him, and under Song's persuasion, he wanted to lead troops back to Xu Huizu to stand by.

But he passed by the monk's camp on the way, and after questioning he learned what had happened. He was very curious that the other party was able to thunder and not die, but after knowing that the soldiers of the Western Capture had escaped, he temporarily put aside the matter, led the soldiers to chase after him, and arrived at this time.

When Ji heard the galloping cavalry shouting Chinese, he immediately cried with joy and said loudly: "The cavalry is coming, and they will be able to annihilate all the Western captives!" You find a drum for Lone, and Lone wants to beat the drum to cheer! ”

……

……

Ji was so happy, of course, Salha's mood sank to the bottom. Their 20,000 soldiers were crammed into a narrow path, and there was no place to hide, and it was basically foreseeable that they would be trampled to death by the horses of the Ming army.

He couldn't help but despair: 'Could it be that if the Buddha blessed them once, it would not be counted, but he would also bless them a second time?' ’

They really have no way to retreat, they can't even surrender. Now the sky is gray, and it is difficult to see the human figures, unless the whole army surrenders, the Ming army may be surrendered, as long as some people resist, the Ming army only regards them as enemies in order to reduce losses, even if the horses gallop back and forth to destroy them.

But such a desperate situation also completely aroused his emotions. He shouted: "Soldiers! Turn around and fight with the Ming army! Even if they are all killed, it will not make the Ming army feel better! His guards shouted at the same time.

When the soldiers of the Western Captives heard this, they also stimulated the last bit of ferocity, and turned their heads shouting, wanting to fight the Ming army for the end. The soldiers who were engaged in the battle with the Yongming Left Guard also clung to the fact that they would not be allowed to retreat, and it looked like they were going to drag them to their death.

At this time, the only remaining infantry led by Zhu Suohai and Li Mingfang had retreated, and the cavalry and cavalry infantry led by Cao Xing immediately rushed over to trample on the western captives.

It was almost impossible for the infantry to win against the cavalry without forming a formation, and this was no exception. The rearmost Xilu was trampled under the feet of the horse's hooves almost instantly, and was trampled into pulp before even the screams could be made, not to mention life, not even the whole corpse.

But the Siyu didn't care about this at this time, even if one after another people were trampled to death by horses' hooves or hit by horses' heads, there were still countless people who rushed up with swords and guns in their hands until they were killed.

There are also a few Western captives who shout "surrender" and want to save their lives. But this black light is blind, how dare Cao Xing and Song stop and surrender? Not to mention that the situation was so chaotic at this time, they couldn't hear the shouts of the surrenderers clearly, so they could only regard all the people in front of them as resisting Western captives, and wiped them out on horseback, and many people who wanted to surrender were also trampled to death.

The rest of the people who had originally had a trace of luck suddenly knew that there was no reason to live, and with a fierce look in their eyes, they also picked up their knives and guns and rushed up.

The soldiers of the Western Captives fought for their lives, but in the end, it was of some use. Horses were slashed and hacked to death under the swords, and the knight who fell to the ground threw off his back, and immediately fell to his death; Some people were also stabbed by the spears of the Western Prisoners, and died with a muffled snort.

What's more critical is that as more and more Xilu died, the ground was gradually unevenly heaped with corpses, and the impact of the horses became more and more difficult, and it was already difficult to move forward before they could rush through the Xiyu. Cao Xing knew that the biggest advantage of cavalry over infantry was speed, and if it lost speed, its combat power would not be as good as that of infantry, so he ordered the whole army to retreat. The sound of gongs suddenly sounded on the battlefield.

But the outcome of the total annihilation of this Western army still looks difficult to change. The cavalry of the Ming army will immediately attack again, and this little time will not be enough to organize the defensive line.

Salha himself simply turned his head and fought with the soldiers of Yongming Left Guard, completely no longer looking at what was going on behind him.

After Cao Xing retreated, he let the soldiers under his command rest for a while, and then rearranged into a neat queue to kill the western captives again.

The remnants of the West let out a beastly howl, and waved their weapons to stop the Ming cavalry. As in the previous assault, most of the Western Cavalry were trampled to death by horses' hooves or hit by their horses' heads, but these people used their bodies to slow down the speed of the Ming cavalry, so that Cao Xing still failed to stab the Western Cavalry and had to retreat again.

After retreating, Song said to Cao Xing: "Let the soldiers rest for a while, Shicai has attacked Xiyu twice in a row, and the soldiers have consumed a lot of physical strength." ”

"I also know that they have consumed a lot of physical strength," Cao Xing also gasped and said, "but they must be eliminated as soon as possible." Xilu is not the only one, there must be reinforcements, but there are not many soldiers sent to prevent detection during the attack on the camp, and the army will definitely be sent to support after the attack on the camp is successful. It was necessary to destroy the Western captives before reinforcements arrived. ”

"However, the soldiers are so tired, how can they still have the strength to destroy this Western captive?"

"Our soldiers are very tired, and Xilu is even more tired! Our soldiers will not get rest, and neither will they get rest! Needless to say! Cao Xing said. Song opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't raise any more objections.

After a short rest, Cao Xing once again led the soldiers to attack Xiyu. The assault finally went smoothly, and the remaining Xilu no longer had much strength to stop them, and although they wanted to stand up and wave the knife in their hands one last time, they could only watch themselves being trampled to death by the horses' hooves.

Cao Xing finally led the cavalry to break through the western captives, adjusted the formation and immediately rushed back. But at this moment, reinforcements from the West also arrived.
