Juehua Island was burned, the 7,000 Ming troops on the island were wiped out, and more than 2,000 ships of various kinds were burned. Daming's sea base in Liaodong was completely reimbursed in this way.

However, Mang Gurtai, the commander-in-chief of the Houjin Army and the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, who was in charge of attacking Juehua Island, was still very annoyed. There are tens of thousands of stones of grain stored on Juehua Island, and Mang Gurtai originally wanted to take it all into his pocket, first feed his Zhenglan Flag, and dedicate the rest to his father Khan Nurhachi, so as to gain fame and fortune.

But somehow, there was a violent explosion in the ammunition warehouse on the island, and even the granary was blown up. A piece of fat that was about to be eaten in the stomach turned into nothing!

Mang Gurtai was furious, and was about to investigate the responsibility severely, when one of his subordinates suddenly came to report: "Lord Belle, it's not good! A cavalry of the Ming army broke through and escaped from the island, and also killed Jiala'e Zhenxitku! ”

Mang Gurtai suddenly realized and scolded: "Where are the cavalry on the island? It's clear that reinforcements are from Ning Yuan! I look at the ammunition depot, most of them lit it! Come on, chase me, I can't let any of them go! ”

In this way, nearly 20,000 Jurchen cavalry began to frantically pursue the hundreds of Guanning iron cavalry led by Zhu Youzhen.

When they came, both the Houjin army and the Ming army were cautious, for fear that something would happen to the sea ice under their feet. But now the situation is different, Zhu Youzhen knows very well that even if his hundreds of people have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and let the enemy army dozens of times his own catch up, it will definitely be over. Rather than let the Jurchens make dumplings, he would rather die in the icy waters!

Therefore, he didn't care about the complicated "road conditions", and he didn't even have time to discern the direction, so he just galloped towards Ning Yuan.

From time to time, people and horses tripped over hard ice, and some even fell into crevices in the ice. But no one dared to stop and rescue, because the pursuers were miles behind them, and this distance was simply close to the Jurchen elite cavalry!

And that layer of sea ice, which is not thick, is also gently shaking under the huge shaking of tens of thousands of horses' hooves, and I don't know when it will crack!

After running wildly for nearly an hour, the sky was already dark. Zhu Youjian looked ahead, and he had already vaguely seen the coastline, but he couldn't see the shadow of Ning Yuan City, and couldn't help but secretly complain: He must have run in the wrong direction!

But a large number of pursuers were behind them, and it was obviously unrealistic to stop and discern the direction. Zhu Youzhen had to run to Hei by road, and led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to rush to the coast.

At this time, there were less than 300 Guanning Iron Cavalry left, and compared with when they left the city, they were almost halved. Except for a few dozen people who died in the battle with the Houjin army on Juehua Island, the rest were all buried on the vast ice.

Although Zhu Youzhen didn't see it in person, he couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of these loyal and brave soldiers, who were probably already frozen with those seas at this moment.

Li Chongyao's eyes were also red, and he choked up and said, "I must avenge this revenge!" ”

But right now, they don't even know where they are, let alone revenge. The pursuers were approaching, and everyone had to flee south along the coast in a panic, thinking that if they missed Ning Yuan, they could only run to Qiantun or even Shanhaiguan.

The Jurchen cavalry, which was closely chasing behind, had already divided into two ways at this time. The road was a little faster, and he had already followed Guan Ningtie to the shore, chasing after him; Seeing that it was difficult to catch up, the other road did not rush ashore, but took a shortcut from the sea, wanting to take a straight line and block directly in front of the Ming army.

Although the warriors of the Guanning Iron Cavalry were brave, they had fought several times during the day yesterday, and they only rested for less than an hour at night before setting off again.

But people can rely on spiritual strength to support them, but Marco can't. The horses of Guan Ning's iron cavalry were all wearing heavy armor, and they ran wildly on the sea for more than an hour, and their physical strength was gradually exhausted, and their speed slowed down significantly.

Li Chongyao found that the enemy was chasing closer and closer, and knew that it was difficult to escape, so he suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”

Hundreds of Guanning iron horsemen suddenly reined in their horses, and they all knew that the time for a death battle had come. No one spoke at the moment, only the rapid gasps of men and horses; Everyone slowly took off their weapons, ready to use their own blood to make a final break with the Tartars!

Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Chongyao was stagnant, and he had to restrain his horse, so he yelled in a hurry: "Run!" Why don't you run! ”

"Lord Wang, I'm here to resist for a while, you run quickly!" Li Chongyao smiled reluctantly at Zhu Youzhen, there was a poignant beauty in her smile, like an epiphany that had just bloomed and was about to wither!

"Less, keep the on for me!" Zhu Youzhen was so anxious that he scolded. But Guan Ning Tieqi only listened to Li Chongyao's orders, and when he saw that the lord would not move, no one acted.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhu Youzhen also said angrily: "Since we came out of Ningyuan together, we have to go back together!" If you don't leave, then I won't leave either, and I'll die together! ”

Li Chongyao no longer talked back to Zhu Youzhen at this time, but said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Wang, I have offended!" As he spoke, he glanced at a tall young cavalryman beside him.

The cavalryman understood, stepped forward on his horse, picked Zhu Youzhen up from his horse, and placed him horizontally on his horse.

"What are you going to do?!" Zhu Youzhen lay on his horse and couldn't move, and said in shock.

Li Chongyao no longer paid attention to him, but said to the cavalryman categorically: "Cao Wenzhao, your horse is the fastest, I order you to escort the prince to Shanhaiguan, there must be no mistake!" ”

Cao Wenzhao did not reply, and urged his mount forward. Zhu Youzhen shouted on horseback with his hands and feet: "I won't go!" Let's go together! Although Li Chongyao's eyes were full of tears, he turned his horse's head and pretended not to hear.

Just as Cao Wenzhao was carrying Zhu Youzhen and moving away, a cannon suddenly rang out in front of him, and a cannonball fell from the sky and landed not far from Guanning Tieqi. Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect that there were still intercepting men and horses ahead, and there were also artillery!

Zhu Youzhen looked forward, but shouted ecstatically: "General Qi! Miho! Don't fire, it's me! ”

At this time, the early morning mist was blown away by the strong wind in time, and Qi Jiajun's familiar car formation appeared in front of Zhu Youzhen's eyes again!

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's shout, a horse galloped out of the car formation, it was Qi Meifeng, the commander of the Qi family's army!

In fact, Zhu Youzhen and Qi Meifeng have only been separated for a few days. But in the past few days, Zhu Youzhen has been wandering around the ghost gate several times, and at this time he really feels like a human being in two lives!

"The last general is too late to save the car, please forgive your highness!" Qi Meifeng rolled into the saddle and fell off the horse, kneeling down on one knee in front of Zhu Youzhen, her voice trembling slightly, obviously very excited.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly jumped off the horse, grabbed Qi Meifeng with both hands, and hugged her tightly without saying anything. At this time, he really didn't have any evil thoughts in his mind, only the joy of reunion after a long absence!

"Your Highness! Qi Meifeng was hugged by Zhu Youzhen in front of so many people, and she suddenly felt very embarrassed. But she didn't dare to push Zhu Youzhen away, so she had to be softly angry!

"Hey! You two, hugging and hugging in broad daylight, what kind of system! Li Chongyao suddenly caught up from behind, raised his eyebrows, and screamed.

Qi Meifeng's face turned red, and she hurriedly pushed Zhu Youzhen away, and replied coldly: "Who are you!" It is really presumptuous to dare to shout in front of His Highness! ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that the two generals were about to fight as soon as they met, so he hurriedly said: "My own people, they are all my own people!" ”

"What your own people!" Li Chongyao said angrily, "Why did they shoot at our Guanning Iron Cavalry? ”

Qi Meifeng did not show weakness, and sneered at each other: "Guanning Iron Horse? What a big name! If you're so powerful, why do you let the Tartars chase you everywhere? If you ask me why I opened fire, I want to ask you: since you are a Ming army, why do you have no flags and no uniforms, but all men and horses wear black heavy armor and deliberately dress like Tartars? ”

"You!" Li Chongyao has been pampered since he was a child, and he has been ridiculed like this, and he immediately looked at him and said angrily: "You get on the horse for me, let's see a real chapter under our hands!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Two aunts and grandmothers, now that the enemy is now, why do you still have to fight in the nest!" ”

"You're the one in the same nest! Who is in a nest with you! Li Chongyao was sharp and angry.

"You... You are talking nonsense! Qi Meifeng was really annoyed by Li Chongyao's sentence, turned around and got on the horse, and pointed with the silver gun in her hand: "Where did you come from, a wild girl, who died in common name!" ”

"I'll ask you first!" Li Chongyao also did not show weakness, and put the double halberd in front of him.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the two people were about to make a move, so he hurriedly blocked in the middle, and said with a crying voice: "Why don't you stab me to death!" ”

"Wait!" Qi Meifeng suddenly put away the silver spear, looked at Li Chongyao carefully, and said, "Your pair of double halberds, why do I look a little familiar!" Are you a disciple of the Li family in Liaodong? ”

"I also think that your silver spear is familiar..."Li Chongyao also said thoughtfully, "Five years ago, did you participate in the World Martial Arts Conference held in Luoyang?" ”

"Not bad! I attended the meeting on behalf of the Qi family that year! Qi Meifeng puffed up her chest proudly and said.

"Are you supposed to be... After Gong Wu Yi, the eldest lady of the Qi family, Qi Meifeng, right? Li Chongyao's eyes suddenly emitted a strange brilliance.

"How do you know my name? Are you..."Qi Meifeng also muttered.

"Sister Meifeng! How can it be you! Do you still recognize me, I'm Chongyao! Li Chongyao suddenly jumped off the horse and ran towards Qi Meifeng with joy.

"Sister Chongyao, it's really you! I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have become so beautiful, my sister can't recognize you! Qi Meifeng also exclaimed in surprise.

The two daughters were frowning coldly just now, but at this time they hugged each other, crying and laughing, they were even closer than sisters!

Zhu Youzhen was completely confused: "I said, what's the situation?" Do you know? ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves behind was loud, and the advance of the Jurchen cavalry had gradually approached.

Qi Meifeng wiped away tears of joy and said: "Your Highness, Sister Chongyao, you quickly lead your subordinates into the car formation to rest, these enemy troops, just hand them over to our Qi family's army!" ”
