After a while, another soldier came to report, "General Yu, General Chen has led people to capture and kill the 'Fake King Gui'." ”

"What?!" Zhong Mingyuan frowned, if King Gui was killed by Chen Ke, then King Chen's army would definitely fight to the death with his own people. He immediately remembered that Su Ping's 20,000-strong army was not in Fujing in half a day, and he might have to follow in the footsteps of his son-in-law, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Seeing that he was stunned, the generals on the side hurriedly asked, "General, are we going to help?" ”

"Help......" Zhong Mingyuan nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't listen to my persuasion several times before, so I have today's predicament." He turned to the henchman beside him and said coldly, "Help! Help give him a ride! Then he gave another careful command.

……

Zhu Youlang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and still said loudly in front of the battle: "Now all parts of Guangxi are anyway, expressing their submission to the imperial court." ”

He first glanced at it, and saw the names of dozens of officials and generals on the paper, and almost all of the entire Guidi except for the southeast had expressed their loyalty.

He continued to read: "Qingyuan garrisoned Zhao Nian to raise 500 troops, and closed the city to wait for the heavenly army. Encheng Tusi played a secret performance and led 700 wolf soldiers to respond to the imperial court. Sicheng Prefecture Military ......"

Suddenly, he felt a commotion in the enemy's formation, and when he looked up, he saw three or four hundred men rushing out of the Chinese army, coming straight to his side.

"Hey, enemy attack!"

Before Zhu Youlang's words fell, the heavy cavalry nearby had already lined up in a neat horizontal row, and the steel sword was unsheathed, waiting for the battle. At the same time, the carriage he was riding in turned around and avoided in the direction of the Dragon Guard.

Chen Kegang suffered a big loss in front of the artillery of the Dragon Guard, and he was also extremely worried when he rushed up this time. When he got closer to King Gui's side, he saw that there were only forty or fifty guards on the left and right, and none of them were holding guns, so he felt a little relieved.

He pinched the horse's belly hard, and rushed to the forefront with his knife, turning around and shouting, "Capture the puppet king, and the reward is a thousand taels!" ”

The heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guard saw the enemy cavalry galloping quickly, but they were not in a hurry, until Chen Ke's men and horses were about to rush out of the formation, and Xie Xifan, the commander of the company, waved his sword and said in a deep voice: "Advance quickly!" ”

After the horses took more than ten steps, the heavy cavalry shouted in unison: "Charge!" ”

In an instant, more than forty cavalrymen in steel armor lined up in a straight line and rushed towards Chen Xuan's team without hesitation.

Chen Jiao's side was taken aback by this momentum, and when he rushed out, he ran a little hard, but the war horse began to slow down at this time.

He gritted his teeth and brandished his saber and beckoned to his subordinates: "It's only forty or fifty enemy troops, follow me!" ”

But the moment he collided with the cavalry of the Dragon Guard, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate again—these enemy soldiers were not wearing ordinary armor, these shiny armor were so hard that the saber would almost slide to the side when it fell. Even if there are lucky ones who are more upright and cut a crack in the steel armor, most of them will be stuck in the steel plates, and it is extremely difficult to hurt the cavalry who are enveloped in it.

In addition, the training level of the people led by Chen Jiao is limited, and the queue is sparse, and there is no joint force at all. The heavy cavalry on the opposite side was a standard wall charge, and forty people were like an iron wall, advancing in unison, and the cavalry swords rose and fell at the same time.

Only one of them was in front of them, and the more than seventy enemy troops who were facing them had been cut down, and only one of them was slightly wounded by the loss of his horse's front hoof.

The heavy cavalry reined in and turned their heads, quickly regrouping. Xie Xifan looked at both sides and ordered his subordinates to divide into two teams to intercept the enemy cavalry on both sides.

But before they could urge the horses, the hundreds of men and horses brought by Chen Jiao had already turned around and fled—the dozens of people just now were strangled in an instant, and the enemy didn't even lose a single hair, how could they fight this battle?

However, immediately another six or seven hundred men and horses rushed out from the flank of Ding Kui's Chu army, as if they were surrounding Zhu Youlang.

Xie Xifan frowned, ordered to prepare to meet the enemy, and when he looked back, he saw that the hussars of the Dragon Guard Army had also begun to speed up, ready to come to help.

However, a scene that everyone did not expect happened, the people who had just rushed out of Ding Kuichu's side actually met Chen Jiao's team directly, and without saying a word, they raised their knives and guns to kill.

Chen Ke's department was originally deserted and fled, and when he was caught off guard, he immediately turned on his back, and in an instant, he was almost completely wiped out, and even Chen Ke himself was shot in the thigh by an arrow, and fell to the ground from the saddle.

Subsequently, the team that intercepted Chen Ke gathered between Zhu Youlang and Ding Kuichu's main formation, and the leader arched his hand to Xie Xifan from dozens of steps: "General Yu, the younger one is under the command of General Zhong Shen, and he was ordered to protect His Royal Highness King Gui.

"General Zhong Shen heard King Gui's warning, and knew that the thief was really rebellious, so he categorically broke with it, and now he is only ordered by the imperial court!"

At the same time, more than 2,000 soldiers and horses from far away Zhong Ming abandoned the defense line of Ding Kuichu's right flank, but turned their heads to attack the Chinese army, shouting along the way, "The imperial court has arrived to rebel against the army, the servants are loyal and good, and the obstructors are treacherous!" ”

The news that the forward battalion was strangled in an instant and that Zhu Youlang had already made a declaration before the battle spread throughout Ding Kuichu's army, and then heard that Chen Jiao's 300 personal soldiers were scattered by 40 enemy cavalry, and the morale of the army dropped to the extreme in an instant.

At this time, seeing that the "imperial army" was coming, where did anyone dare to stop it, most of them hurriedly dodged the way, and the more daring ones joined in and shouted "rebellion" together.

There was a fast horse galloping from the direction of the top of the mountain to Ding Kui Chu's main formation, and along the way he was surprised to see the chaos in the army, and when he saw Ding Kui Chu Daxu from a distance, he hurriedly shouted: "Report to the Governor Hall!" The carts and horses carrying heavy guns are close to the mountain pass, and they will arrive in another hour. ”

The next moment, he saw a man in delicate armor draw his sword across his neck, let out a long sigh, and pulled it hard, and a puddle of blood spurted out several feet away.

Then more than a dozen personal soldiers surrounded the man's side, shouted a few times, "Lord Governor", and seeing that the matter had come to this, he had to throw away his blades and flee in all directions.

……

Zhao Shichao urged the horse to gallop into the formation of the Dragon Guard, and when Zhu Linmiao approached, he saluted with joy on his face: "My lord, the thief killed himself, and his men and horses have all surrendered. ”

Zhu Linmiao was quite surprised when he heard this, according to his original thoughts, it was estimated that it would take dozens of cannons to fire in four strokes before the Gui army began to surrender.

He hurriedly asked Zhao Shichao about the detailed process, and only then did he know that Zhong Ming had defected in front of the battle and led his troops to attack Ding Kuichu's army. Ding Kuichu urgently ordered the rear army and the left wing army to come to investigate the chaos.

Who knew that the two officers had the same thoughts, they were afraid that Zhong Mingyuan would kill Ding Kuichu first, and then rebel against them as thieves, and use their heads to ask the court for credit.

It was a one-team defection that immediately turned into a three-team encirclement, and the three teams rushed to Ding Kuichu's location, shouting that they were "rebelling on behalf of the imperial court".

At this time, Ding Kuichu had nowhere to go even if he wanted to run, so he desperately sent away the guards beside him, drew his sword and killed himself.

Later, Zhong Mingyuan and several other major generals came to meet Zhu Linmiao, and so far, since the Hongguang Dynasty, the land of Liangguang, which has not been ordered by the imperial court, has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty!
