The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 225 The Emperor's Routine

In the end, Huang Degong was the first to break through the last three camps of Jiannu.

In order not to be captured alive by the Ming army, Dorgun and Hong Chengchou also had to get on their horses and withdraw from the camp to join the cavalry in the north.

But countless Korean soldiers and Han soldiers could only step forward and run wildly behind.

The Han soldiers and Eight Banners soldiers who were still standing in the three camps in the middle had to abandon the camps and fled to the north when they saw this.

The Han soldiers and Korean soldiers who fled for their lives frantically flocked towards the north like ants, and the discarded armor and weapons spread all over the floor.

The Ming army naturally took advantage of the situation and chased them all the way.

Fortunately, the Jiannu cavalry in the north, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately broke away from the entanglement with the left army, and condescendingly covered the fleeing defeated soldiers, so that the Ming army did not dare to chase and kill them unscrupulously.

Hearing the sound of the retreating troops, and looking at the flag of Commander-in-Chief Gaotai who was close at hand, Oboi looked unwilling, but he had no choice but to get on his horse, and began to leave the battlefield with the remaining 4 cavalry.

There is no way, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave when the infantry of the Ming army surrounds them.

Indeed, even though the British prince lacked experience in the war, he sent two battalions to attack Zhu Cihong's commander-in-chief, and the left army also turned from defense to offense.

In the end, under the cover of the cavalry and the sky getting dark, the Ming army had to give up their pursuit, and Dorgun was able to take the remnants of the defeated general and successfully retreated to the camp fifteen miles away.

Fortunately, there was still such a way out, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable, but after checking it out, Dole Gun still wanted to cry without tears.

Of the 13 Han soldiers, only about 7 came back in total, more than half of which were lost. What's more terrible is that almost all of the [-] returned were sluggish, and more than half of their weapons were thrown on the road.

The loss of the [-] cavalry in the north was not too great, and only a few thousand cavalry were lost in total. Obviously, these Mongols in Mobei have been fighting skillfully, and they did not fight head-on with the Zuo army at all.

On the contrary, Oboi's 5000 cavalry lost nearly [-] cavalry, and [-] of them were real elites of the Eight Banners. In addition, nearly half of the [-] Eight Banners sent to defend the three camps in the middle were also lost. It seemed that more than [-] Eight Banners warriors had been lost, which made Dole feel so distressed that he almost passed out directly.

Although there are nearly [-] cavalry in total, and almost [-] Han soldiers, and the food and grass left in the camp behind can still be eaten for another three months, but both Doer Gun and Hong Chengchou understand that they have lost their peace. The ability of the Ming army to continue to fight decisively head-on.

The losses of the Ming army were also not small. The left army and the right army lost nearly 5000 people. The Chinese army suffered the most, with a total loss of [-] people, and even the [-] Yulin army lost nearly [-].

The overall casualties are also approaching the [-] mark, but judging by the total number of infantry and cavalry killed being close to [-], plus the fact that the attacking side still has more than [-] cavalry, it is undoubtedly a big victory.

As for the North Korean soldiers, they didn't even bother to count.

However, nearly 300 soldiers were killed and wounded, but Zhu Cihong couldn't be happy at all, especially the death of more than [-] disciples, and his heart hurts when he thinks about it.

Night falls.

The soldiers who fought during the day had already fallen asleep from exhaustion, but Zhu Cihong's tent was brightly lit.

Hundreds of generals, big and small, crowded on both sides of the big tent, all of them silent, watching Huang Degong and another commander of the imperial forest army who were kneeling on the ground silently.

Looking at the two kneeling on the ground pleading guilty, Zhu Cihong felt a headache for a while. One of the two disrespected orders on the battlefield, and the other was coercing the commander to flee without authorization. Although both of them were for his own good, this kind of atmosphere could not be raised of.

Otherwise, the military law and discipline will be gone, but if the two are really beheaded according to the military law, it will inevitably chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. After all, the times are different, and the actions of the two can be said to be the best embodiment of loyalty to the emperor. Let Zhu Cihong be in a dilemma.

"Lei Ben, did the imperial concubine tell you something when she left? Otherwise, with your brain, how could you react so quickly?"

Zhu Cihong stared at Lei Ben who forcibly helped him onto the horseback and said sharply.

This guy is usually stupid, but he was still in shock at the time, so this guy ordered people to take off his armor and lead the horse over, as if he had rehearsed beforehand. normal.

As expected, Lei Ben didn't have any tricks. Seeing His Majesty's question, he answered honestly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine and empress did tell her last general when she left, and she must not let His Majesty be in danger. If there is any danger, there must be no slightest danger." Hesitation, His Majesty must immediately ride on Zhuiyun, so the last general at that time..."

After speaking, the voice also became quieter, obviously also aware that what he did at that time was a big treason.

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong was also extremely helpless, he said how Hong Niangzi insisted on leaving Zhuiyun behind when she left, and it turned out that it was for him to escape at a critical time.

If you think about it, there is such a good horse like Zhuiyun, even in an army of millions, you can run away at any time as long as you ride it, and escape back to the Great Wall with ease. Never try to catch up.

Zhuiyun can gallop a hundred miles in one breath, with a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers per hour. Whether it is stamina or speed, he is the king of horses. With his human nature, he is indeed the best magic weapon for escaping on the battlefield.

"Since you are under the order of the imperial concubine, I will count you as carrying out the military order and will not be held accountable. Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lei Ben hurriedly thanked him, got up, and retreated to the side, everyone was not surprised, not only did not feel that His Majesty was favoritism, but felt that His Majesty was affectionate and righteous, so he had to sacrifice his life to die.

"Your Majesty, there is no excuse for disrespecting orders on the battlefield. I am willing to kill myself and use military law..."

Perhaps Huang Degong also knew that he was embarrassing His Majesty, so he drew his knife and wiped his neck, which shocked everyone.

Zhu Cihong was also taken aback, and quickly stopped him: "Stop, did I tell you to cut yourself off?"

"Your majesty is ashamed." Huang Degong had no choice but to throw away the knife and kowtow to plead guilty.

Only then did Zhu Cihong come to him with a sullen face, picked up the knife on the ground, and then glanced at the general in the tent and said: "It is indeed an unforgivable crime for not obeying the commander's order on the battlefield, and it should be executed! But this time it is my The commander's improper command caused Huang Aiqing to be concerned about my safety, so she had to send troops to rescue without authorization, which violated the military law. Although she can't forgive her crime, I can bear the responsibility for Huang Aiqing, and I should bear it. Huang Aiqing is guilty of disrespecting orders on the battlefield!"

After finishing speaking, he swung a knife and cut off a strand of his hair, and then handed it to the British Justice beside him: "Tell it to the whole army!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The British Duke took his hair with both hands and knelt down to worship.

All the generals also knelt down on one knee to worship.

But Huang Degong was already so moved that he couldn't cry.

Zhu Cihong smiled wryly in his heart, such an old-fashioned routine can still coax these ancients.
