Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1394 Capture Tang Tong Alive

The entire battle area of ​​Ming and Jin was very large, almost the size of one or two counties. As far as the northern front was concerned, the front stretched to more than ten miles.

Meng Qiaofang realized that the situation was not right, and ordered all the ministries to withdraw their troops, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Ming army's front, which was already in jeopardy.Zhang Mingzhen, who was fighting, killed a Jin soldier, suddenly felt that there were fewer Jin soldiers in front of him, and felt a little puzzled.

Could it be that after Meng Qiaofang tore through the left wing, he went straight to the Ming army's main line and ignored him?Just as he was wondering, a familiar sound of horns shot up into the sky behind him, and the fighting Ming army couldn't help turning their heads to look back. They saw countless horses galloping, and countless soldiers of the Ming army were galloping towards them, and their morale was immediately boosted. .

"Captain, the reinforcements have arrived! Woohoo~" a general beside Zhang Mingzhen, with an arrow stuck in his body, cried while holding a bloody saber.

"Look! Reinforcements are coming!" The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army who fought hard for half a day, heard the movement behind them, looked back, and burst into tears of joy, it was really reinforcements, and Daming had won.

Looking far into the distance, Zhang Mingzhen saw yellow dust billowing behind him, and countless Ming troops rushing towards him.At this time, there is no need to think about anything else, only to seize the opportunity to let the gold thief know what a Jedi counterattack is.

Zhang Mingzhen thought for a while, then shouted in a deep voice: "Boys, we are going to win. All generals obey orders!"

"Here!" Encouraged by the reinforcements, the soldiers around him immediately shouted.

"Kill this town, don't let the gold thief escape!"

When the Ming army looked back and roared, the Jin army soldiers did not take the opportunity to kill the stunned Ming army. They also saw the dust all over the sky in the south. The astonished fellow robe, instead of advancing, retreated, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, his face was full of uneasiness and fear.

Tang Tong was commanding the troops to fight, but the whole battlefield was suddenly quiet. Following the astonished eyes of the soldiers, he looked to the south, and when he saw the Ming army rolling in, his eyes froze for a moment.

It fell short!Just a little bit, the Jin army had already torn through the Ming army's left-wing defense line, and it would not take long to defeat Zhang Mingzhen, but at this time the Ming army's reinforcements came.

At this time, Tang Tong didn't have time to think about why the Ming army's reinforcements came and what the battle situation in the south and west was like, because he had to think about the situation he was about to face immediately.

When the reinforcements arrived, the loud horns sounded, and the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. Even the deserters who were defeated on the left wing quickly raised their swords, turned around with curses, and rejoined the battle group.

At this moment, the horns from behind the Jin army sounded almost at the same time as the sound of Jin Ming, but the sound was not as passionate as that of the Ming army.

Hearing the sound, Tang Tong's expression changed drastically, with a look of horror on his face, he quickly turned his head to look back, only to find that the banner of the Wang Banner that should have been erected in Xinfeng Town had disappeared.The army is so stalemate together, how can it be said that they can retreat?What is the difference between a retreat and a rout at this time?There are [-] Jin troops on the south bank of the Weihe River, and if they want to retreat, they should resist steadily and retreat in a planned way. Now that the horn blows, it will not immediately become a mess.

Tang Tong's face was flushed with anger, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, but with the horn, the soldiers of the Golden Army fighting on the battlefield had already left their opponents in panic and fled north.

In just a split second, the black and thick golden army line, like burnt ashes, dissipated when the wind blew.

"Duke! Hurry up, the Ming army is also coming from the west, and the defenders of Dufugou have already run away!" Tang Tong's general galloped over, holding his crooked helmet, and shouted anxiously.

Tang Tong was startled when he heard the words, and when he realized it, he was furious. Meng Qiaofang obviously knew that the Ming army was coming from the west, and he couldn't form a steady resistance, so he ran away first.

At this time, the Jin army was already in chaos, and several generals immediately set him up and fled north among the chaotic army.After Tang Tong was hugged and walked for a while, he struggled to get rid of the general, and sighed in a deep voice: "Going northeast, the Ming army will definitely occupy the pontoon bridge first, and Dufugou should be lost. Don't hug this general, gather your troops quickly , Raise the flag, and command the soldiers to retreat to the pontoon bridges in Xinfeng Town and Lingkou Town."

Several generals heard the words, understood, and raised their respective banners one after another, hoping that the troops from the headquarters could gather around him and flee north with him.If you have soldiers, you have power. If you have a bare rod, you might as well escape to the north bank.

"Go! After crossing the Weishui River, we will meet up in Gaoling and retreat westward to Yongliang!" Tang Tong shouted, and all the generals nodded, while his personal guards protected him and fled to the northeast.

The horn sounded behind the Jin army, disintegrating the entire front of the Jin army, the soldiers' fighting spirit collapsed, crowded and fled northward in a hurry, but they were suppressed and beaten for a long time, and even the deputy governor Ruan Mei was killed. It will make Jin Jun escape.

After killing so many Ming soldiers, several of the generals died. If you want to run away now, you should first ask about the saber in your grandfather’s hand!

The soldiers of the Zhenwei Army held on tightly to the Jin Army, and the cavalry in the reinforcements of the Ming Army rushed into the fleeing Jin Army first, and then the infantry also caught up, and the Jin Army was defeated.

The battle situation was indeed as Meng Qiaofang expected, the Jin army's line collapsed completely, and countless soldiers and horses swarmed and fled north.Unbeknownst to the soldiers of the Jin army who had also outflanked the Ming army from the west, after fleeing to Dufugou, the pontoon bridge had been burned by the Jin army who had gone first, but they ran into the Ming army and were killed all over the field.

Most of the Jin army who fled to the direction of Xinfeng Town and Lingkou Town did not have a good time. The pontoon bridge was narrow and difficult to pass, and countless routs were crowded on the south bank, unable to cross the river.Many people and horses drove their horses directly and wanted to wade across the water, but before they reached the middle of the river, the water submerged their horses' backs, making it impossible to walk across. Only a few people who knew how to swim took off their armor and swam northward.

The Ming army was in a hurry to kill, and Tang Tong didn't care how many soldiers and horses his subordinates could gather. He hurried forward under the protection of his personal guards, and soon reached the edge of the Wei River.

"Duke, the pontoon bridge is almost here!" The general hurried away with him in his arms, and suddenly pointed to a large figure in the distance, and said anxiously.

Tang Tong was overjoyed. As long as he could cross the Wei River and burn the pontoon bridge, even if the Ming army had hundreds of thousands, they would not be able to catch them, and he would be able to get rid of the Ming army's pursuit.

Thinking of this, Tang Tong immediately said: "Go! Go quickly!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and he saw a thick smoke billowing in the distance.

"Meng Qiaofang, I'll fuck your mother!" Tang Tong's eyes were red, and his body trembled instantly with anger.Many golden generals at the side looked at the thick smoke in the distance, their faces showed a burst of astonishment, and they all cursed angrily, "Straight mother, you are a scam!"

Once the pontoon bridge was destroyed, the Weihe River became a barrier that most of the Jin army could not jump over, blocking the way for the Jin army on the south bank to escape north.

It just so happened that at this moment, Tang Tong and the others panicked, and the soldiers rushed forward one after another. The passionate horns sounded across the south bank, but the Ming army had already caught up.

This is a good move, there is really no way to go to heaven, no way to go down to earth, the Wei River is blocking the front, and the Ming army is rushing to kill behind.Tang Tong couldn't help heaving a long sigh, is he going to die here today?
Suddenly he looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh, all the generals around were startled, they didn't understand how the Duke could still laugh at this time.While the generals were in doubt, Tang Tong suddenly drew his sword and put it on his neck with his backhand, and then he was about to pull it. The general next to him was startled, and flew up, snatched the weapon, and cried out in pain: "Duke! Why is this?"

On the north bank of the Weihe River, Meng Qiaofang was stationed under the banner of the king's flag. He did not intend to harm Tang Tong, but was defeated like a mountain. Now the soldiers of the Jin Army just want to escape, and they all run away with their heads in their hands. If the army rushed across the river, they would all be finished.

Meng Qiaofang looked at the other side for a while, his face was full of melancholy, he sighed heavily, pulled out the reins of his horse, and said in a miserable voice, "Go, go to Gaoling to gather soldiers and horses!"

On the south bank, countless Ming soldiers rushed over. Tang Tong looked back and saw Ming soldiers shouting, "Catch Tang Tong alive, and leave Meng Qiaofang alone."
