Now that he got the news of Tuhai's defeat, Wang Jiyong has no scruples, and Shao Lingzhi will not let go of this good opportunity.

"General Shao, you lead 3,000 people to block the defenders in the city, if my guess is correct, Tuhai has already sent a message to the defenders at the head of the city at this time for them to answer."

Shao Lingzhi immediately bowed down: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Immediately after Wang Jiyong gathered the soldiers and horses in the camp, Shao Lingzhi carefully advised: "We have the icing on the cake when we fight this time, we don't have to kill Tu Hai, just dampen their morale to achieve His Royal Highness's goal, if it is because we want to fight with Tu Hai, our vitality will be greatly damaged, and then Tu Hai will not lose but win, but it will be a big thing for His Highness." ”

Wang Jiyong nodded: "I have measure." ”

Shao Lingzhi took people away, but Wang Jiyong didn't think so, he felt that Shao Lingzhi was old after all, and he couldn't be as energetic as young people. His Royal Highness defeated Tuhai and captured Xi'an with such a small number of troops, and he can't be too ashamed.

On the horse, Wang Jiyong has already made up his mind, and he must take Tuhai's head today.

So the army rushed to the sea, Wang Jiyong was full of ambition and wanted to become famous in one fell swoop. He's not a young man who doesn't know anything, and he's been on the battlefield for years, so he doesn't think he's going to lose.

At this time, Tu Hai rushed here with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, his face was already very ugly, now there are wolves and tigers in front of him, there are only a few thousand remnants around him, whether he can escape is still unknown, coupled with this defeat, the court is furious, maybe his feelings in the emperor are about to be exhausted. This is even more dangerous than his defeat, once the emperor no longer trusts him, there will be no chance of a comeback in the future. What's more serious is that if this battle is lost, the former Ming army will have to gain a firm foothold here, and the Qing Dynasty will lose the initiative on the Western Front.

A cavalryman in front rushed over: "Report, big marshal, a large number of enemy troops have been found in the direction of Tongguan, and the number is about five thousand." ”

Tu Hai's face turned cold, and he shouted: "The whole army stops marching!" ”

The surrounding soldiers all stopped there, and then it didn't take long for everyone to stop, staring at Tuhai riding on the high slope, only to hear Tuhai shouting: "I am Tuhai, the general of Fuyuan, and now I am trapped here with all the brothers in the army, and now we have the cavalry of the Qianming behind us, and there are a large number of rebels of the Qianming in front of us, what should we do?" ”

All the officers and soldiers in the army were stunned, no one had any idea, everyone felt that this time they were dead, and a sad breath rose in their hearts.

Tuhai then said: "I, Tuhai, am a warrior of the Manchu Dynasty, but I don't want to fold in the hands of this group of traitors of the Ming Dynasty, there are those who are not afraid of death, follow me to rush up, we will kill Tongguan, we can join the brothers in Guanzhong, and the Manchu warriors will kill back at that time, if you are afraid of death, stay here, wagging your tail and begging for mercy, maybe you can still leave a life." Warriors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, are you willing to fight with me? ”

A few people in the front row followed and shouted, "Yes, yes!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the sound spread to the entire army, not to mention anything else, the Manchu warriors were also arrogant, and it was difficult to accept them to kneel down and wag their tails and beg for mercy, so they decided to rush with Tuhai to kill.

Tu Hai deserves to be a famous general of this era, and in two sentences, he cut off these people's thoughts of surrendering, and boosted their morale, and fought with him. But there is no way to do it, he is not young, how can he go into battle if he is not forced to do this. But now it can only rush to the front.

Wang Jiyong's men also have cavalry, but the cavalry is not too elite, as mentioned earlier, he left all the elite cavalry to Cheng Xiaolian, and most of his men are foot soldiers, and these people have not yet won the Manchu army, and they naturally have no confidence in these murderous Manchu army.

It only took half an hour for the morale of the Manchu army to recover most of it, and they finally discovered that the defeat in the past few days may be just because those former Ming soldiers used witchcraft, and now these people obviously don't know witchcraft, so what are they afraid of?

The Manchu army immediately changed from wilting wild dogs to hungry wolves, Wang Jiyong also felt that it was not right in the army, these people still felt that they would fall down with a blow when they looked at it from a distance, but they really did it, and they found that it was difficult. And when he looked back, the soldiers behind him had slowly begun to rout, and he was brought out by Wang ~ Fuchen, not that Cheng Xiaolian was reluctant to sweep the northern army for him, but it was easier for his own people to command his own army. These people are already desperate, but they still can't stop the Manchu warriors who have a strong desire to survive.

Although Wang Jiyong is full of enthusiasm, but he is not a stubborn person, he will not hold on to the battle that he can't win because of face problems, as early as when he first entered the battlefield, Wang ~ Fuchen told him that you don't need to be a decent general, as long as you can win the battle, you are a good general.

At this time, Wang Jiyong issued the banner of retreat on both sides, and he understood that what Tuhai and these people wanted was to enter Tongguan City, as long as they didn't block their way, they wouldn't be desperate, because Cheng Xiaolian's army was still following behind.

It's just that the process of retreat is very tragic, most of his soldiers were killed and injured because of this battle, Tuhai tore a hole and didn't dare to stop at all, he knew that people's desire to survive can stimulate blood, but it will not last for a long time, as long as the people behind him arrive at this time, nothing else, as long as they shout the words of the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula, these soldiers will immediately begin to rout.

What Tu Hai wants now is to destroy the former Ming army in front of him, but to return to Tongguan, pacify the army, and make a comeback. When the time comes, it will be evenly matched, and it will not be too late to kill.

On the other side, Shao Lingzhi heard the news of Wang Jiyong's defeat, sighed, and could only get out of the way, and it would be useless for him to stop the defenders of Tongguan, and it was very likely that these two armies would join forces and swallow him completely, and Wang Jiyong would be sad in front of His Royal Highness at that time.

Tu Hai rushed into Tongguan, immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and then reorganized the army, he didn't know how long it would take for the chasing soldiers to arrive, but Tongguan was his last bottom line.

And Wang Jiyong's 5,000 soldiers lost 3,000, and after joining Shao Lingzhi, there were less than 4,000 men and horses, and the 8,000 people that Cheng Xiaolian gave him were more than half.

Shao Lingzhi's eyes widened when she saw Wang Jiyong: "How did I explain to you, the young general?" You are greedy for merit and rash progress, causing so many brothers to lose their lives, not to mention, how can you explain in front of Your Highness? ”

Wang Jiyong cried with a sad face: "Everything is borne by me, even if His Highness wants to kill my head, I have nothing to say." ”
