My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 971 Collapse
"Kill~"

The Ora cavalry rushed into the chaotic Ming army camp from all directions, slashing and killing with their swords as if they were entering an uninhabited land.

Although the Ming army was several times larger than the Wala people, their morale had long been depleted, and their formations were in chaos due to the scramble for water. They could not form an effective command at all, and even the generals could not find where their troops were.

Therefore, facing the siege of the Oara people, the Ming army collapsed almost instantly, and everyone was just trying to escape for their lives. The hundreds of thousands of Ming troops now were actually no different from the hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

"Don't run away. The more you run away, the faster you will die. I am the British Duke Zhang Fu. Follow me and form a formation. I will lead you to fight out!"

Zhang Fu stood on the carriage and kept shouting, hoping to use his prestige to gather a group of troops, at least to have the ability to protect himself among the enemy.

However, the army was already in chaos. Everyone just wanted to run faster than others. In addition, Zhang Fu had no chance to manage the army. The soldiers in the army did not trust him, so he shouted desperately for a long time, There were only a few hundred people gathered around him, and most of them were older veterans, some of whom had even followed Zhu Di in his northern expedition.

Most of these veterans are older and their physical strength is not as good as the young people. If they escape, they will definitely not be able to outrun the young people, so they might as well unite together, and they are more willing to trust the veteran Zhang Fu than the young people.

Zhang Fu also had dozens of personal followers around him. These people had followed Zhang Fu in his campaigns when they were young and had rich experience. Therefore, Zhang Fu used these people as a skeleton to organize hundreds of veterans to form a circular formation that barely blocked the insurgents. impact.

Although these veterans were weak in physical strength, they were fortunately experienced. Under Zhang Fu's command, they were able to advance and retreat in a controlled manner. However, their number was too small, and the small group of cavalry from Ola and a large number of rioters also had an impact on their formation. A small impact, if this continues, this temporary military formation will be broken sooner or later.

"Master, this can't go on like this. We have to find a way to get out of here!"

A confidant next to Zhang Fu held a bloody long knife, wiped the blood on his face and suggested loudly.

"Follow my command and move the entire army towards Magukou!"

Zhang Fu also ordered very decisively at this time.

"Magukou? That's the focus of the Wara people's attack. Aren't we going to die there?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then asked Zhang Fu in confusion.

"General Guo Maoguo of Magukou is very strict in running the army and will definitely not mess up the formation. So as long as we join him, we still have great hope of breaking through the Oara people's siege!"

Zhang Fu explained loudly, and then directed the hundreds of people to move in the direction of Magukou.

Zhang Fu's personal followers were all his confidants, and hundreds of veterans also believed in Zhang Fu's judgment. What's more, they had no other choice, so a group of people withstood the impact of the rebel army and the Wala cavalry, while defending and attacking Ma Taniguchi's direction shifted.

But not long after they walked out, they suddenly heard someone not far away shouting: "Mr. British, help me!"

Zhang Fu heard the sound and looked around, and saw several ministers such as Kuang Ye and Cao Ding hiding behind a few carriages. Next to them were more than a dozen Wala cavalry. They were massacring some fleeing Ming troops on flying horses. They were about to kill Kuang. Ye and others are around.

"Rescue!"

Zhang Fu roared and immediately ordered his men to move over. After driving away the dozen or so Wala cavalry, Kuang Ye and others walked out from behind the car cautiously. "Kuang Shangshu, aren't you with His Majesty? Why are you here?"

Zhang Fu pulled Kuang Ye and others into the car, and then asked eagerly.

Previously, Zhu Qizhen listened to Wang Zhen's words and ordered the army to move to the water source. At that time, Zhang Fu felt something bad and immediately went back to summon his followers. After all, the more dangerous the situation, the more trusted people should follow him.

When Zhang Fu left, he remembered that Kuang Ye and others were in Zhu Qizhen's palace, and not long after he left, the Walas came to kill him, so Kuang Ye and others should be with Zhu Qizhen.

"Don't mention it. We were with His Majesty at first, but later the palace guards were dispersed. Your Majesty and the princes ran away to nowhere, and the guards around us also dispersed. In the end, we had no choice but to hide in the palace. We didn’t expect to encounter the Wala cavalry here, but luckily we met the Duke and saved us.”

Kuang Ye gave an overview of what happened to people like him.

Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen immediately panicked when they saw the Ora army coming in. A group of people were like headless flies, scurrying around in the army, and were finally dispersed by the Ora cavalry. Kuang Ye and others also I wonder where Zhu Qizhen is now?
"Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown. If he falls into the hands of the Wala people, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zhang Fu frowned and whispered.

"My lord, the army is in such chaos now. Let's take care of ourselves first. No matter what Your Majesty says, there will always be guards following us. They are much stronger than us."

At this time, a middle-aged official smiled bitterly.

"My lord, although His Majesty's safety is important, we can't help at all. The most important thing now is to find a way to break out of the siege. Do you have any plans?"

Kuang Ye asked Zhang Fu again.

To be honest, Zhu Qizhen kept seeking death along the way, and the civil and military officials had long been heartbroken. Even Kuang Ye, who was the minister, was full of resentment towards Zhu Qizhen at this time, even if he listened to the minister once It is recommended that these hundreds of thousands of people will not end up in this situation.

"I'm going to Magukou to find General Guo. He manages the army strictly. As long as he doesn't encounter the main force of the Oara people, he should be able to protect himself."

Zhang Fu did not hide anything and spoke out his thoughts.

"It makes sense. When the battalions in the army were rushing to move to the water source, I saw General Guo restraining his men and preparing for it. Obviously he had foreseen this situation and must have been prepared!"

Another official who was rescued also agreed. Thinking of Guo Mao's achievements in repelling the Wala people many times, others also agreed, so the group speeded up and rushed to Magukou.

But the army was really in chaos at this time. There were defeated soldiers running around everywhere, and there were also Ora cavalry killing them everywhere. When they encountered a small group of Ora cavalry, Zhang Fu commanded his men to kill them back, but soon Soon they encountered a group of hundreds of Ora cavalry.

The general who led this Wala cavalry was quite discerning. When he saw the clothes of Zhang Fu and others in the crowd, he immediately knew that these people had unusual identities, so he immediately ordered his men to kill them.

Zhang Fu commanded his men to fight and retreat, but soon the hundreds of men under him were unable to resist, and the defense line set up by Zhang Fu was broken through bit by bit by the opponent.

When Kuang Ye and other civil servants who were hiding behind Zhang Fu saw this situation, they all looked desperate. Are they going to die in this earthen fort today?
