Chapter 143 Where is the Prince
It was dawn. The 2,500 men and horses led by Zhu Zaijing had spent a night of harassing battles and were now exhausted.
Zhu Zaijing immediately ordered: "Martial law will be enforced in units of five hundred people, and the remaining two thousand people will rest. There will be a shift every half an hour. After the shift is over, act according to the original plan. This group of Tatars cannot be allowed to The Tatar bandits have rested in Shixia Camp. We must keep harassing them to keep their spirits in a state of exhaustion."
Teng Xiang and the guards around Zhu Zaijing heard this. After this order, although his spirit was still tense, the excitement in his eyes still did not decrease in any way.
They felt that the experience of this day and night was like a dream. With only 2,500 people, they were exhausted by teasing more than 100,000 Tatar bandits.
Although they didn't know what the outcome of Huangyugou's battle was, judging from what they observed, they killed at least seven or eight thousand enemies this time, and they did so under the eyes of others.
Especially the ten-mile mine array buried behind Huangyugou, which never stopped ringing all night long, and from time to time there would be a blast of thunder.
And judging from the sound of these thunders and the light of fire, these fried dumplings with sugar and flour seem to be much bigger in the future. At this moment, no matter how slow everyone is, they also realize the consequences of this battle. The difference.
In the past, the Ming army also used firearms such as explosives to defend against enemy attacks, but the power of those explosives was average. In addition to injuring people and horses, they could also be killed. They are all unlucky guys with extremely bad luck.
But this time, just by hearing the sound, you can tell that the power is extraordinary. As long as the pursuers, their horses, or themselves accidentally step on these explosives, they will be blown into limbs in an instant, and they will be scattered. Glass shards and iron sheets can also stab nearby people and horses, or even kill them.
This was the first time they had seen such a ferocious bomber.
Of course they also know very well how expensive these batches of ground bombs are.
The jar used to hold the explosives alone is worth five to six hundred cents, not to mention the gunpowder, sugar and other items added inside. These are also extremely valuable things and can be exploded for several taels of silver. It’s gone.
But Zhu Zaijing did not hesitate to let them bury tens of thousands of them for more than ten miles. The consumption of this battle alone was extremely shocking to these insiders.
But Zhu Zaijing didn't even blink, as if what was blown up was not his hard-earned money.
Zhu Zaijing, who had been tired all night, could not help but relax at this moment. He sat on the ground leaning on a stone and fell asleep. Teng Xiang looked at the sleeping prince with admiration and distress in his heart.
Such a noble and proud man of heaven could actually put his own life and death aside. He dared to stop the main invading Tatar force with only 2,500 people, and he was able to survive whole body. retreat.
Such a record, even if we look at history, it is a rare miracle of war. If he were not burdened by his status, Zhu Zaijing's name would shine in the annals of history based on this record.
It’s a pity that Zhu Zaijing also issued a strict order from the beginning. No one is allowed to expose his identity, otherwise military law will be engaged. So at this moment, Teng Xiang couldn’t help but feel aggrieved for Zhu Zaijing. He had obviously done so much, but why? I can’t have it, it’s really frustrating.
While Zhu Zaijing was resting on the stone, Huang Jin personally led people to Shunyi Industrial Park in a hurry.
Huang Jin also had no sleep all night. He prayed to the gods and Buddhas in fear, asking them to protect Prince Yu and prevent any accidents.
When he arrived at the Shunyi Industrial Park, Huang Jin immediately held up the "I am here in person" gold medal given by Emperor Jiajing and ordered Chen Hong and Li Fang, who were staying in the industrial park, to come and see him.
When the two of them saw their ancestor coming, they were both frightened and kowtowed in front of Huang Jin, "Forgive me, ancestor!"
Huang Jin looked at the two of them. He was not angry at all, and scolded: "The prince is still young, are you young too? How can you let the prince go into danger alone? Have you ever thought about the consequences? If the prince hurts a hair, even killing your nine tribes will not be enough. "Sorry!" Chen Hong and Li Fang kowtowed in shame, and Chen Hong replied aggrievedly: "My ancestors didn't see the prince's determination. That night, the prince heard that Feng Bao had arrived at the industrial park with the troops from the Siwei Camp. When he arrived, he immediately ordered all employees to be summoned. At that time, a few workers did not know the heights of the sky and the earth, and thought that the military management of our industrial park was just talk. As a result, their heads were chopped off by the prince on the spot. "
"Such a bloody scene shocked everyone at once. Even Feng Bao had his military power taken away by the prince on the spot and was now sent to garrison in the upper reaches of the Chaobai River. And we were all ordered by the prince to stay in the industrial park to ensure the rear. Supply and take care of the fleeing people, and assist Dr. Li in treating the wounded on the front line."
After hearing Chen Hong's words, Huang Jin felt a little relieved and asked: "Where is the prince now? "
Chen Hong replied: "The prince took his troops to Huangyugou to ambush the bandits. In the middle of the night, he sent a message saying that they were stationed in Qingshuitan, and asked the slaves to send people to send supplies. So now the prince. It should be near Qingshuitan.”
After Huang Jin confirmed the news about Zhu Zaijing from Chen Hong, the stone in his heart finally fell.
He was worried that there would be no news about Zhu Zaijing. Now that he heard the news about Zhu Zaijing, he couldn't be more happy.
So Huang Jin asked people to send the latest news about Zhu Zaijing back to Xiyuan, and then he led a group of personal guards on horseback towards Qingshuitan in a furious manner.
Emperor Jiajing, who had been waiting all night, had bloodshot eyes. He really had no sleep that night. He had been waiting for news about Zhu Zaijing, but he was afraid of any news.
So that night Emperor Jiajing also lost the immortal calmness that he had practiced for many years, and became worried about gains and losses.
In the morning, when Emperor Jiajing summoned cabinet members and the Minister of War and others to continue discussing the battle to defend the capital, a battle report from the front broke the tense atmosphere in the Wanshou Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Governor and Censor Wang Xiaoru has sent a battle report!"
After receiving the battle report that was rushed into the palace, the eunuchs waiting outside the palace immediately walked into the palace with their heads held high and their heads lowered.
When Emperor Jiajing heard that it was the battle report sent by Wang Xiaoru, he suddenly stood up from his throne and said, "Bring it here!"
Emperor Jiajing took the battle report and tore it open immediately, sending Wang Xiaoru inside He quickly browsed through the incoming battle report, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
When Yan Song, Xu Jie, Ding Rukui and others saw the joy on Emperor Jiajing's face, they all showed surprise. They were all extremely curious about the content of the battle report in Emperor Jiajing's hands.
At this time, Emperor Jiajing seemed to have swept away the depression in his chest, and laughed heartily and said: "It's confirmed, Huangyugou is a great victory, and more than 10,000 enemies have been killed! This victory is the greatest victory of this dynasty since I came to the throne. Jie! I will reward all the soldiers in this battle!”
After Yan Song, Xu Jie, Ding Rukui and others heard the words of Emperor Jiajing, they all showed incredulous expressions. There were rumors of the great victory of Huangyugou last night, but no one knew the specific situation. They only knew that His Majesty the Emperor An urgent order was issued to dispatch the main force of Gubeikou to Pigeon Cave to kill the enemy.
Now His Majesty the Emperor has the latest battle report saying that the victory of Huangyugou killed more than 10,000 enemies. This is an incredible victory!
Not only did it deal a heavy blow to the Tatar bandits who invaded the palace, but it also greatly weakened Nada's arrogance and made a good start for the defense of the capital. This was a great victory celebrated by everyone!
"The great victory at Huangyugou, I am waiting to congratulate Your Majesty!"
