Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu ran out of the city with a few people and came to Zhu Jie.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, he has failed all the way, and he was beaten to Huai'an Mansion by the Manchurian Tartars, and you personally went out to fight, the minister deserves death, please punish the emperor!"

Song Jiaxing and Yang Chengzu knelt on the ground and said bitterly.

Zhu Jie waved his hand and said warmly: "Okay, Jiaxing, Chengzu, get up, this battle is not your fault, Azig was originally a generation of famous generals, cunning, your troops are insufficient, and there is nothing unusual about defeat, and retreating all the way to the south is also my will, not your sin of defeat." ”

The two of them hurriedly thanked and stood up from the ground.

As soon as he stood up, there was already smoke and dust in the distance, Xia Wanchun urged the horse to run over, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the cavalry of Manchuria is coming up again, but our grain, grass and baggage have not been transported in, what should we do?" ”

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What should I do?" Of course, it's cold, and the order goes down, and the artillery battalion, rocket battalion, and musket battalion are all dispatched to respond to the battle, and they must withstand the attack of the Manchurian elite cavalry! ”

It's an uphill battle!

Zhu Jie knows very well in his heart, not to mention anything else, now is the most critical moment, it is necessary to transport grain and grass into the city in order to be able to restore the strength of the Tianwei army, after all, these days, Huai'an City has run out of food, and the Tianwei army has nothing to eat.

"Emperor Qi, please enter the city for a while, and leave the affairs on the battlefield to the ministers!"

Song Jiaxing's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

Zhu Jie glared at Song Jiaxing and shouted, "What? Do you think you're better than me? Immediately go back to the city to preside over the defense of Huai'an City, and outside the city, it will naturally be borne by me! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Yang Chengzu said urgently: "Now the Manchurian Tartar soldiers are too strong, the combat power is strong, and the Beijing battalion is a new army newly prepared. ”

Zhu Jie shouted coldly: "Yang Chengzu! Where did you get so much nonsense! Could it be that a defeat has left you with no courage to fight the enemy? I will never enter Huai'an City at this time, once I enter Huai'an City, the fighting spirit of the Beijing army of more than 20,000 people who have been finally stirred up will fall again, without the fighting spirit and the determination to not be afraid of death, can we be able to withstand the attack of the elite of Azig Manchuria? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Song Jiaxing gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Since you insist on it, then the minister will fight, the minister has always kept a thousand elite cavalry in the city and has not used it, although no one else has food to eat, and even our food and Lao Yang's food has been halved, their food is fully supplied, and even, there is still a part of the musket ammunition, the minister personally led them to attack from the north city to relieve the pressure on the west city!" ”

Zhu Jie nodded, this is a way, look at the distance, this time the troops mobilized by Azig are only afraid of no less than 20,000 people, and even faintly, they can see the artillery they have transferred, once the war starts, the Jingying army may not be able to withstand the attack of 20,000 Manchurian elites.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "In this case, Jia Xing, immediately enter the city to mobilize troops, and also, give priority to bringing bullets and shells into the city, and prepare to launch an artillery bombardment on the west city to help the war!" ”

Song Jiaxing hurriedly gave a deep salute and hurriedly returned to Huai'an City.

At this time, the Manchurian elite pounced again, Azig and Tan Tai personally led 20,000 elites, and at the same time came to Xicheng with the artillery battalion, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Zhu Jie's Beijing camp in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to attack the city, Azig made up his mind, this time, Zhu Jie must be killed!

At this time, the Beijing camp can be said to be the most dangerous time, there are no fortifications, not even a simple camp, no antlers, can only rely on firearms to compete with the Manchurian elite, once the Manchurian elite cavalry is disrupted, the Beijing camp will be defeated!

Zhu Jie was carrying a spear, Xia Wanchun was standing beside him, looking a little nervous, he had just defeated 10,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, and this time there were 20,000 troops in one go, specially, this Azig is really crazy enough!

However, at this time, it is useless to think about anything, you can only fight to the death, and in the end it depends on who can hold on longer.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The artillery behind the Beijing camp began a new round of bombardment, and now the Manchurian elite cavalry has entered less than three miles away from the Beijing camp, and must not let the Manchurian elite continue to rush forward, with the launch of the artillery, at the other end, the rocket battalion is also all put into the attack, and began to shoot frantically at the Manchurian elite on the opposite side, one shell, one rocket, desperately roaring towards the Manchurian elite cavalry, and they have fallen into the camp of the Manchurian elite cavalry, the smoke of gunpowder is all over the sky, and the war is blazing!!

"I'm rubbing! Firearms again! ”

The current Azig is almost driven crazy by the firearms of the Beijing camp, this firepower is too dense!

"Tan Tai, how far is our artillery battalion from the battlefield!"

Azig roared.

Tan Tai had a trace of horror on his face, obviously frightened by the firepower of the Beijing camp, and said astringently: "Lord Wang, the artillery camp, there are still four or five miles away from the battlefield, if you want to reach Zhu Jie's army, you have to advance at least four miles, and even if you advance to the battlefield, this, we only have more than 20 artillery pieces, which is less than half of the number of the Beijing camp, which is not enough to contain the attack of the Ming army......"

"I can't care so much! Sent an order to the artillery battalion to advance with all its might, even if you are tired to death, you must launch an artillery bombardment against the Ming army within two quarters of an hour! ”

Azig roared: "Herald cavalry, charge with all your might, you must rush over!" Tan Tai, you personally charge towards the flanks of the Jingying, and you must crush their flanks! ”

Tan Tai agreed, and began to rush up towards the flank of the Beijing camp with an elite force!

It's just that just after advancing only two miles away, on the opposite side, at the head of Huai'an City, the cannon sound rang out again!

This time it was the artillery at the head of Huai'an City that fired the artillery, and the West City was not the main defensive direction of Huai'an City, but there were more than ten artillery pieces, but even if it was more than ten artillery pieces, it was enough to form a certain deterrent to the Manchurian elite cavalry, plus the artillery and rockets under Zhu Jie on the battlefield, the entire battlefield had been shrouded, and Tan Tai wanted to impact Zhu Jie's flank, how easy was it to talk about?

The unusually tragic fierce battle opened the prelude under the city of Huai'an, and a team of Manchurian elite cavalry continued to brave the artillery fire to launch an attack on the Beijing camp, going forward one after another, like a raging wave, constantly impacting the defense line of the Beijing camp!
