Chapter 1595 Suspicion and Guilt

The scenery of Wuling Mountain is nice, but no one goes there usually. It is said that the wild beasts there are infested.

Yang Rong was not interested in this. He was thinking about how to get along with Zhu Gaochi after returning and how to repair the rift caused by the dispute between civil and military officials.

"Enemy... enemy attack!"

Yang Rong just raised his head and heard a shrill scream. Then the whole team looked to the right.

In the distant mountain pass, a team of cavalrymen wearing tattered leather coats rushed out, waving long swords in their hands and shouting.

"It's the Ha Lie people!"

The Qian Hu officer looked at the number of people rushing out and shouted in despair: "More than 2,000 people, Sir Yang, retreat quickly! Retreat to General Stone! I will fight to the death to stop them!"

Yang Rong felt that the blood in his body solidified instantly, and he shouted: "Resist the enemy! Resist the enemy immediately!"

The Qian Hu officer didn't need his reminder, and had already ordered the battle line. In the midst of his busy schedule, he looked back and saw Yang Rong and others were still there, so he shouted: "Sir Yang, leave quickly!"

Yang Rong drew out his long sword and said in a deep voice: "I am not going anywhere today. If I die in battle, I will die for the Ming Dynasty! Soldiers, fight bravely!"

The familiar words startled the soldiers, but when they looked ahead, they didn't see the emperor, and their morale stagnated immediately.

The captain smiled bitterly and whispered to the deputy captain: "He dared to sacrifice himself, but he didn't dare to lead the charge. Just like what Xinghebo said, it's two different things to fight with me and to fight for me. This time, he has done something wrong."

The deputy captain sneered: "It's better for scholars to stay away from the battlefield. They will only cause trouble."

The captain nodded and said: "It's impossible to stop him. Get ready. I will lead you to charge."

The deputy captain nodded, then bravely rushed to the front, running back and forth in front of the battle, shouting: "Brothers, for the Ming Dynasty!"

More than a thousand people shouted in unison: "For the Ming Dynasty!"

The captain looked back at Yang Rong, who looked very enthusiastic, and then rushed to the front, raised his sword and shouted: "The Ming Dynasty will win!"

"The Ming Dynasty will win!"

The voice seemed a little weak in the cold wind.

The captain looked at the enemy army that was gradually accelerating. He knew that these surviving Ha Lie people were all brave people. He was no match for two against one.

But he couldn't run away, right?

If Yang Rong and others had not been dragged down, Qian Huguan would have chosen guerrilla warfare, and then slowly dragged the enemy army to death.

But now it is not possible!

Seeing the low morale, Qian Huguan once again galloped back and forth in front of the formation, roaring: "Da Ming will win!"

"Da Ming will win!"

The Qian Huguan rode his horse to the middle, raised his sword, and then rushed towards the enemy.

If he did not want to be defeated in one battle, he must lead the way.

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

The bravery of Qian Huguan finally inspired the depressed morale in despair. The cavalry began to speed up, and the cold hands struggled to hold the hilt of the sword, ready to drink blood.

"We are going to lose!"

Although Wen Fang did not understand the battle formation, he knew that it was a difficult problem to defeat the majority with a small number of people.

Yang Rong rode his horse and watched in place, saying: "Whoever can kill the enemy, go now."

A civil official said: "I have learned swordsmanship for a few years, I will go first, Da Ming will win!"

This is to die!

Seeing his confident look, Yang Rong, who had experienced many battles, smiled bitterly.

When the civil official rode forward, the front had already collided with each other.

In the midst of people and horses, the thousand-household official had already cut off two heads, but the dangerous situation made him understand one thing.

To lose!

Those Harie people were frozen and their faces and hands were full of frostbite.

Some people couldn't even hold the long sword steadily, and they fell out of their hands after blocking.

But after the long sword was blocked, these Harie people did not panic, but rushed over frantically, hugged the Ming army and fell off the horse, and then both were trampled to death.

This is a desperate enemy!

Just like the desperate battle back then, the desperate Harie people burst into a crazy momentum, and from time to time, you can see the tragedy of exchanging lives for lives.

The Qianhu official was also caught by a Harie person, but he reacted quickly and knocked the man down with his elbow, then shouted: "Kill them!"

Yang Rong and his men could no longer care. The only way to get rid of the fierce entanglement at this moment was to break through the formation of the Harie people and then make a detour.

But the Harie people were fighting desperately, and someone kept shouting for orders.

"Sir, they want to leave us all here and die for their king."

The Qianhu official was desperate when he heard the voice. What he regretted most at this moment was intercepting the Harie people.

The Harie people on both wings kept shrinking, and the Ming army kept falling off their horses as arrows flew.

The fierce battle made Wen Fang's legs tremble. He wanted to escape, but his hands were weak and he couldn't turn his horse around.

Yang Rong sighed: "Today I will die here, you guys run away."

Run away!

None of the accompanying civil servants ran away. In this icy and snowy environment, how could they run faster than those Harie people?

A sneer rose on Yang Rong's lips, and he murmured, "Your Majesty, are you going to kill me? Why use the Ha Lie people?!"

As the chief minister, Yang Rong did not stand on Zhu Gaochi's side in the dispute between Zhu Gaochi and the civil officials, but instead clung to the civil officials.

From the time he left Beiping until now, Yang Rong has been thinking about how to repair the relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

But now it seems that this relationship is difficult to repair.

One thousand households accompanying him...too few!

At this moment, Yang Rong forgot the advice of the commander of Gubeikou, and felt that he had become a victim of conspiracy.

There is great terror between life and death. Under this terror, even the most generous people will change their character.

"There are horse hooves!"

Yang Rong, who was in despair and indignation, did not look back. This place was between Gubeikou and Jiangjunshi, and there was no human habitation, let alone reinforcements.

Wen Fang looked sideways with difficulty on horseback, and saw a dark mass of cavalry on the right galloping towards this side.

He blinked his eyes, his lips trembled with excitement, and he shouted hesitantly: "Reinforcements... Reinforcements..."

An official had already seen the army and the flags, and he shouted frantically: "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"

Yang Rong's body shook, turned his head and saw the army.

"Sir, it's the Jubaoshan Guard!"

Yang Rong nodded, and seeing someone in his entourage sobbing, he mocked himself: "This official is heartbroken, killing my own heart!"

In despair, he thought that Zhu Gaochi asked him to die, but ignored that it was his own choice to leave the pass, and he didn't expect that the Jubaoshan Guard would follow him.

Calculating the time, it was the second day after they left the capital, and the Jubaoshan Guard was sent out.

"Your Majesty..."

Yang Rong's vision was a little blurred, his eyes were full of tears, and guilt drowned out the joy of escaping death.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

The Ming army, which was fighting hard, heard this shout and immediately boosted their morale.

And those Harie people also saw the Ming army, and one of them shouted desperately: "It's the demon god's subordinates!"

During the Northern Expedition, all the firearms units of the Ming army were under the unified command of Fang Xing. The terrible firepower and tenacious fighting spirit made the Harie people terrified.

Morale collapsed just like that.

From the first Harie person turning around and fleeing towards the mountain pass to the collapse of the whole army, it was only ten breaths.

"Wu Yue, go to block the mountain pass, and the rest of you, kill in."

Lin Qunan rushed over first and issued an order immediately.

Then Wen Fang saw a massacre with his own eyes.

The soldiers of the Jubaoshan Guard immediately dismounted and started firing from the outside. The Ming army in the encirclement took the opportunity to charge out and intercepted the enemy from the outside.

Amid the blast of muskets, the Hali people fell off their horses one after another. Moreover, they who had just dared to exchange their lives for others actually dismounted and surrendered.
