When Shi Fu heard this, he hurriedly looked north, and saw that one or two miles away, the Ming army, which had been chasing from Pucheng, was lining up in several neat phalanxes and was rushing towards this side.

There were three or four people-tall spears in the array, and from a distance, they looked like a moving wood, and a large number of guns hidden under the "trees" could be faintly seen.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight! Shi Fu shouted in his heart, turned his head and looked in the direction of Jian'an, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered the whole army to break through to the north. After all, these pursuers had been galloping after him, and they would never carry cannons.

Zhu Linmiao also saw the black "high imitation" dragon guard uniform and the huge "Zhen" flag in the distance from the telescope, and knew that Zhen Zhen led the pursuers to arrive.

He then ordered: "The whole army keeps in formation and marches slowly. Just let the artillery battalion release empty artillery deterrence, and don't accidentally injure the broken battalion on the opposite side. The cavalry waited for the enemy to break up before attacking. ”

"Yes!"

Now that he has formed a flanking attack, he is not in a hurry to annihilate the enemy. The continuous and steady forward pressure of the brigade made the enemy's morale wear down under tremendous pressure, so that the Shifu force could be taken down with minimal casualties.

As Zhu Linmiao expected, the Qing army rushed towards the camp with trembling trembling in the neat drumbeat behind them and the roar of cannons from time to time, and every few steps they had to look back, making the already untidy formation even more chaotic.

Suddenly, the Ming army in front of him shouted neatly, "Whole team on the spot!" ”

I saw that the Ming army stopped one hundred and fifty or sixty paces away, and quickly aligned the queue, which was slightly skewed due to the movement, and in a moment it became five angular rectangles.

Then there was another cry from the camp: "Spear forward!" ”

With the sound of neatly stepping on the ground, in the five staggered phalanxes, thousands of wolf stalks, one-zhang spears, and six-foot short spears changed from a vertical marching state to a spear tip pointing straight forward at the same time. Spears of varying lengths formed a spiked wall in front of the phalanx.

Suddenly, the Qing army, which was cowering and charging, was defeated. It's not that they haven't seen a spear array, but they haven't seen such a neat spear array.

The fact that the hundreds of people in each phalanx moved neatly, just like one person, and that they could be so neat and uniform showed that this army must have undergone strict training and that military discipline was very strict.

The momentum displayed by the opposing men and horses alone could stop these demoralized Qing troops. Immediately, someone in the Shi Fu array took advantage of the fact that the Governor team was not paying attention, turned around and fled towards Huanghua Mountain.

But soon, the drumbeat behind them gradually approached, and every Qing soldier realized that the Ming army equipped with cannons was pressing up!

No one chose to storm the enemy line as Shi Fu commanded, and the large number of pirates in the Qing army immediately showed their true nature - greed and cowardice.

From the initial rout of individual soldiers, it instantly turned into a group of more than a dozen or dozens of people fleeing.

Finally, when the infantry line of the Dragon Guard advanced to about seventy paces away from the enemy, it let out a neat roar of "Kill!" Before he could raise his gun to fire a volley, the Shi Fu Department collapsed in this terrifying roar.

Some of them got into the Huanghua Mountain, and those with good water ran towards Nanpu River, but more Qing troops chose to escape around the sides of the camp.

Only a moment later, the dragon guard hussars and dragoons rode out from the formation, forming a temporary squad of more than ten people, scattering in pursuit of the enemy.

Brother Zhu glanced at the neat line of subordinates with helmets and armor behind him, and sighed a little helplessly, chasing the enemy is not the strength of heavy cavalry.

This time, his first battalion of cavalry waited for two days in Jian'an, and finally waited for the captive army, but without even a chance to make a move, the enemy was frightened and scattered by a roar.

……

戌時.

Branches on the moon.

South of Tianxing City.

Lin Yuji, a cabinet scholar and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has been constantly jumping on his right eyelid recently, which makes him quite annoyed.

He was drinking in the flower hall when he heard that the housekeeper had come to pay a respect, saying that a person who claimed to be "an old friend of the old man from the north" had come to pay a visit, but he had not handed over the post.

"Friends?" Lin Xiangji frowned slightly, and was thinking about which old man it was, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person in a cyan robe suddenly appear beside him, and he stood up suddenly, "Who?!" "The glasses fell to the ground.

He was about to call the nurse in a loud voice when he heard the man in the green shirt say in a deep voice: "Lord Lin, don't come to harm?" ”

When Lin Xiangji heard this, he instantly swallowed the word "coming" that had just mentioned his throat into his stomach, and when he saw the appearance of that person, his eyes immediately widened as if he had been stung by a scorpion, and he raised his trembling right hand and pointed at him and said, "You, why are you ......?"

He suddenly thought of something, pulled the old butler over and asked in a deep voice, "Who else saw this just now...... Sir's? ”

The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Back to the master, there are only villains and those two disciples." ”

Lin Yuji immediately ordered: "Send the two of them to the countryside overnight." Remember, no one has ever been to my house tonight! ”

The housekeeper has also seen some of the world, and when he heard this, he was shocked, and he hurriedly gave up his hand, "Remember, little one." ”

Lin Xiangji waited for the housekeeper to go away, took the green-shirted visitor to the secret room, closed the door, turned around and said hurriedly: "Why did Lord Huang come here?" The Queen Mother is expanding the Jinyi Guard, in case they find out, my head will have to move! ”

"Huh." The green-shirted man took off his hat and put it aside, but saw that the top of his head was shaved brightly, and only a slender braid was left behind his head, which was Huang Xiyin, the envoy of Qing Fujian.

He smiled slightly, and said disapprerovitically: "At the beginning, Lord Lin only brought a few entourages and dared to go to the general to submit a letter, why is he afraid now?" ”

"This, this is different...... Lin Yuji wiped his sweat and asked hurriedly, "What happened to Lord Huang?" ”

"It's easy to say," Huang Xiyin arched his hand, "The lower officials came to send Lord Lin a fortune." ”

"Rich?"

"Lord Lin, do you know that Jian'an City has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops?"

Lin Yuji hurriedly said: "I just saw the report the day before yesterday, the 20,000 troops of King Chen's army are besieging the city and are attacking day and night. When he said this, he couldn't help but straighten his waist, "The Eastern Army is running out of food and grass, and time is definitely running out." ”

"It turned out that it was King Chen who surrounded Jian'an City, and he had 20,000 horses." Huang Xiyin nodded slightly, "These need to be given to the general." Lord Lin, you have made another contribution. ”

"I ...... No, you're ......."

Huang Xiyin waved his hand and said: "Lord Lin, don't panic, in fact, the lower official brought the words of General Bolo." ”

He arched his hand to the west, "As Lord Lin said, my army has now run out of food and grass. The general begged Lord Lin to help him think of a way. But begging the people and horses to withdraw from Fujian, they thanked each other with 30,000 taels of gold. ”

Lin Yuji took a step back abruptly, shook his head and said, "As a minister, how can I do such an unfaithful and unrighteous act for the sake of a mere yellow and white thing?" ”

"Fifty thousand taels." Huang Xiyin was unmoved.

Lin Xiangji stretched out his hand and gestured to the door of the house, "Tens of thousands of horses in Boluo have become turtles in the urn, what can I do as a civil official?" Lord Huang, please come back. ”

Thanks: Track, standing on the coffin and firing, the years are like a song, Pan Xuezhong, please don't approach the sugar and fat, Lin Zhifuling fantasized about the generous reward given to me! I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year, a prosperous Year of the Dog, and all the best! Thank you for your company during the holidays!
