Qin Yue also felt a little tired, after all, he was an elderly person, he had a good toss this night, and he climbed a mountain, if it weren't for the joy of victory, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold it a long time ago.

Even so, he felt that his eyes were darkened, and he laughed secretly: "After all, it's not a good age of thirty or forty years old, and you can't hold on to a battle at night." ”

Cheng Xiaolian felt that the old general was in a very bad state when he saw Qin Yue for the first time, and after thinking about it carefully, he began to blame himself, Qin Yue was not as good as them, old people, and the humidity on the mountain was great.

"Come on, help the boss to rest, find a quiet tent, and let the boss sleep well."

"Your Majesty's 。。。。。。"

"Don't worry, the battle is like this, if I still lose the battle, when you wake up and shoot me to death with a brick."

Qin Yue laughed, this idea was all made by Cheng Xiaolian, and now the credit is on his head, because out of his surroundings, Cheng Xiaolian is not His Majesty, in order not to arouse other people's ideas, he had to silently accept this credit.

"In that case, the old minister will go to sleep first, and he really feels that his whole body is sore, like when he was young, when he ran away, he didn't feel that he couldn't hold it anymore."

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "When you wake up, we will chase them for three days and three nights, and let them taste this taste." ”

After Qin Yue was sent away, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Find a doctor immediately to follow Lord Qin, no matter what, ensure that the old man is safe and sound." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was really afraid, in this case, if Qin Yue was damaged, it would be a loss that Da Ming could not bear.

Yang Youcai nodded yes, and quickly found a doctor in the army to follow Qin Yue to the camp tent, Cheng Xiaolian took over the military power, stared at the location of Hu Guozhu's camp on the mountain and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chen, what do you say we should do now?" ”

Chen Chengan coughed: "Seeing that the sky is dawning, Your Majesty, you have to make the right decision, or you will fight a decisive battle with Hu Guozhu, now our morale is high, Hu Guozhu just lost the general last night, and the morale of the army must not be high, and the winner will be determined at that time." Another more secure way is to slowly consume with Hu Guozhu, the sweeping army is finally coming, and when the time comes, we will bully the widow with the public, and Hu Guozhu will definitely lose. ”

Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while: "It's really a little difficult to choose, I hope that the current situation will be decided in a battle, but if you lose, it will make Hu Guozhu breathe a sigh of vitality, and when the sweeping northern army arrives, it may not be an advantage, but if it is consumed with him, the morale of the army is afraid that it will be greatly affected, after all, the morale is now flourishing, and it is a little unreasonable not to let the generals attack." ”

Chen Chengan scratched his head: "Since this is the case, the decisive battle is, how could we have been afraid of Hu Guozhu, besides, Hu Guozhu may not have the courage to fight with us, the news from Jinyiwei, he did not keep any soldiers as a backhand before entering Beijing, plus the rumor we spread out, if he wants to gain a foothold in the Zhou Dynasty, he must go back with the generals to keep his position." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "That's right, we'll attack as soon as it gets light." In his opinion, Hu Guozhu has a way out and scruples, so he doesn't dare to show his strength to fight with himself, and he dares to fight with him with his life, because even if he loses, there is always a chance.

After dawn, the war drums sounded, and after a short rest, the Ming army launched an offensive against Hu Guozhu's army on the mountain.

Qin Yue rested for an hour, and was also sounded by the sound of war drums, and returned to the battlefield, seeing Cheng Xiaolian explaining with a smile: "When you are older, you will sleep less, and you will sleep enough after sleeping for a while, Your Majesty will be able to command." ”

"It's better that the boss personally commands, I don't have enough skills to see, just watch the battle from the sidelines."

Qin Yue didn't push back, in his opinion, it was best to let Cheng Xiaolian watch the battle on the side, and not participate in the war at all, otherwise if he led a small army to raid the Zhou Dynasty's military formation, Qin Yue might not be able to stop him.

Hu Guozhu heard the sound of war drums on the opposite side, opened his eyes, and walked to the general platform in the camp: "Brothers, we have reached a critical moment of survival, if this battle is won, everyone can enter Beijing City, become the founding hero of the Zhou Dynasty, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, do you dare to fight?" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Hu Guozhu waved his hand: "Attack in formation!" ”

No matter how wide the road in the mountains is, it can't open the military formation, so the formation has been adjusted, the shield bearer is followed by the spearman and the crossbowman, and then the shield bearer.

Qin Yue was not polite, the tiger squat cannon and the archers first shot to their heart's content, and then the Ming army of the brigade pressed up, the formation of the Ming army was similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty, in this kind of place, only this formation is applicable, what big sword formation and spear formation can not be used at all.

The two armies came and went, and the battle had not been decided for nearly an hour, and at this time, billowing smoke suddenly rose from the large camp of the Zhou Dynasty. Hu Guozhu's face changed: "Qi Dahai, what happened in the barracks?" ”

Qi Dahai rode his horse and rushed over from the camp, crying with a sad face: "Dashuai, the big thing is not good, our camp has been mixed with spies, and the grain and grass have been lit." ”

"What do the guards in the army eat?" Hu Guozhu has long been guarding against this move, so the army left 500 soldiers to guard the camp, for fear that the spies of the Ming Dynasty will suddenly attack, who knows what they are afraid of and what will come, the spies of the Ming Dynasty really set the camp on fire.

"Marshal, there are nearly three hundred enemy spies in the army, our soldiers were killed by surprise, and it is too late to react."

Looking at the billowing smoke in the direction of the camp, Hu Guozhu gritted his teeth: "Withdraw the troops and go down the mountain from the other side!" ”

"But will the army of the Ming Dynasty cover up?"

"Leave some people behind, don't have any merciful thoughts at this time, otherwise none of them will be able to escape."

The fire in the camp became the last straw that pressed Hu Guozhu's heart, Cheng Xiaolian and they guessed correctly, just now Hu Guozhu thought about the truth before he fell asleep, if he is a pure general, it is easy to say anything, but it is obvious that he can't be a pure general, there will definitely be trouble for him in the court, if he doesn't even have the capital of the army in his hand, he will really become a fish on the chopping board, whether it is Xia Guoxiang or Wu Shifan, he can cut him.

Besides, now that there is no hope of victory, it is better to take a step back and stick to Jiangnan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still eyeing the outside of the pass, and it is not so easy for the Ming army to pacify the world.
