Chapter 92
Yan Song suddenly spoke sternly to Yan Shifan, which made Yan Shifan feel a little overwhelmed. What happened to his father today?
"I am now officially warning you not to fight with Zhang Rong anymore. I can't fight. I was careless before. I was a little proud because I was a little proud of myself in the cabinet. I thought about provoking Zhang Rong.
Those nobles of Zhang Rong are not something we can offend. Donglou, Yan Song, can't beat Zhang Rong even if he is ten. It's not how smart Zhang Rong is, but the emperor cannot move Zhang Rong. Once Zhang Rong moves, the country will be shaken, and the Ming Dynasty will fall into crisis, and even change the dynasty. Do you understand?" Yan Song lowered his voice and stared at Yan Shifan and said,
Yan Shifan was stunned for a moment, and he had never thought about this.
"I have been reflecting on myself these days. No wonder I was in the court before, and no nobles stood up to compete with me. I thought they were afraid of me, but I never thought that they would not treat me as an opponent at all!
How much did we impeach Zhang Rong and Zhang Hao before? Is there any real deal with it? However, as soon as the four dukes submitted their memorials, I was in trouble this time. If it weren't for the fact that I was still useful, I would not be able to save my life this time!
Remember, don't provoke them. They are really a transcendent existence in our Ming Dynasty. I'm careless, I'm careless. This time, no matter what Zhang Rong is, you are not allowed to impeach, and you are not allowed to take the lead in doing this. What you have to do is watch and even help Zhang Rong speak. Do you understand? I'm also going to Zhang Rong to apologize. If you don't apologize, the emperor will definitely deal with it!" Yan Song sat there and continued to whisper.
Yan Shifan nodded at this moment.
"It's okay to provoke other people. Don't provoke nobles. We really can't afford to provoke them!" Yan Song said again,
Yan Shifan could only nod helplessly. Although he was not convinced, he knew that if his father had given up, he would really seek death if he persisted.
On the Ministry of Rites, Xu Jie received the imperial edict again. When he saw the imperial edict, Xu Jie was stunned. If Zhang Hao died in battle and was buried with him, he would be killed with him? This would be a death-lost!
At this moment, Xu Jie was sitting there, Mu Ruo Daiji, who wanted to send someone out to inform him, so that his daughter would not dress up so beautifully, and not stand in the front tomorrow, and stand in the back. You must not choose it. Once Zhang Hao is killed in battle, then he will be dead. As for the burial of the Marquis, what's the use? Everyone is already dead. Zhang Hao is an earl. If he dies in battle this time, he must raise the specifications to be buried.
"Is the palace gate locked?" Xu Jie asked, looking at an official sitting in front.
"Return to Lord Shangshu, it was locked two quarters of an hour ago!" the official bowed and said.
"Yeah!" Xu Jie nodded, unable to inform him, but he also knew that there were still some places in Yuxi Palace that could go out, and he had to find a way to pass the news to his daughter. Otherwise, it would be too late when dawn!
"Well, what should I do?" Xu Jie sat there, touching his head, worried. Then Xu Jie thought, Zhang Hao died in battle? Is Zhang Hao going out to fight? If he defended the city, the chance of death in battle was too low. Moreover, if Zhang Hao was in the city, he could come and choose by himself tomorrow, and there was no need for the emperor to choose himself.
"Zhang Hao is going to go out of the city to fight!" Xu Jie immediately strengthened this idea, but as soon as this idea came out, Xu Jie became even more worried. Who knows what accident would happen if he went out of the city to fight against the Tatars? Besides, although the Ming Dynasty had firecrackers and was powerful, when fighting, those stray arrows were also fatal.
"Zhang Rong is crazy, let Zhang Hao go out of the city to fight?" Xu Jie still couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, on Zhang Hao's side, the city gate on the east slowly opened. Zhang Hao took the lead and started to leave the city with the soldiers behind. The cavalry first left the city. A large number of cavalry quickly went out of the palace gate. Zhang Hao also went outside the city gate and began to line up, staring at the firelight opposite. The place where the firelights were located was the place where the Tatars established a military camp.
"Hurry, hurry up!" The generals were the generals who were urging their subordinates to leave the city quickly. Each general would carry two carriages under the flag, all equipped with grenades, food and water. The cavalrymen left the city very quickly. According to Zhang Hao's idea, when the cavalry left the city, they would go to fight. The infantry and engineers behind could come slowly. This battle must be fast. If the Tatars had not prepared the array, they would have to kill them.
Zhang Hao rode his horse in the front, turned the horse around, and looked at the cavalry behind him in an array.
"Let them speed up, after the cavalry charge, form three lines and cover it up!" Zhang Hao said to Yang Xizhong beside him.
"I understand, I have practiced it before!" Yang Xizhong nodded and said.
"That's good!" Zhang Hao nodded and said,
On the Tatar side, the Tatars also learned that the Ming army had actually left the city. The general guarding here was Razik, and the general beside Altan Khan.
"Set up the horses, all of them. Daming actually has this courage to go out of the city to fight?" Razik said excitedly. They did not intend to conquer Beijing and could not defeat it. They knew very well, but if Daming took the initiative to dispatch troops, it would be a good thing for the Tatars.
There were about 50,000 people from the Tatar side, and the other troops were still coming here. According to Altan Khan's deployment, the capital deployed 80,000 people, threatening the army in the capital and other troops began to rob and snatch all the people in the north of the Ming Dynasty.
"General, why don't we kill us first? Anyway, the Ming army is not worth mentioning. The Ming army on the border was about to collapse at a touch!" A general suggested to Razik.
"The Ming Dynasty has that explosion, so be careful not to underestimate the enemy. Wait for them to come and set up a formation!" Although Razik was excited, he still knew the reason why Altan Khan suffered a loss when he came to fight the Ming Dynasty last time. He did not come last time. This time, Altan Khan specifically reminded himself not to underestimate the enemy and be cautious.
"Yes, general!" the general bowed and said, then he stood there on a horse and looked at the formations under the troops. It took half an hour before all the cavalry on Zhang Hao left the city. Zhang Hao sighed at this moment. It took too long, and the key is that the city gate is too small.
"General, you're ready to line up, but the news came from the night just now, and the Tatars are also ready!" Yang Xizhong looked at Zhang Hao worriedly and asked, "There are already lined up, how can I fight?"
"So what if the array is ready? He will be able to line up and send orders to attack. During the march, he will be able to set up his offensive formation. After the archers and infantry leave the city, he will be able to set up his defensive formation and wait for the order. If the Tatars dare to attack, blow them to death!" Zhang Hao said to Yang Xizhong.
"Yes!" Yang Xizhong immediately ordered the messenger beside him. After a while, Zhang Hao urged the war horse and shouted: "Go!"
Then the entire cavalry team began to move forward, and the team also began to spread to both sides. According to Wei Hao's order, the entire attacking team was divided into three lines, with each soldier being separated by five steps.
Zhang Hao started to march very slowly, and he had to wait for the team to disperse. After the team dispersed, Zhang Hao and the others began to accelerate to charge towards the Tatars. Zhang Rong, who was on the city wall, also frowned and watched Zhang Hao's team get closer and closer to the Tatars team, and the soldiers on the city wall also held their breath.
Soon, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the cavalry of the Tatars were less than 300 steps apart.
"Hand up the shield and rush!" Zhang Hao said as he raised the shield and began to urge the horse to accelerate with his whip.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all raised their shields, whipped the horses and began to neigh, and then rushed towards the Tatars quickly.
"Bow and arrow preparation!" When the Tatar saw that the Ming Dynasty had only a small army and dared to fight out, he felt a little contemptuous. Just like this team, he still wanted to attack the camp? Isn't this here to die? When there was about 100 steps apart, Zhang Hao shouted: "Bet firecracker preparation!"
Then the soldiers behind also shouted loudly: "Prepare the firecracker!" "Prepare the firecracker!" "Prepare the firecracker!"...
Zhang Hao also took out a big firecracker at this moment.
"Shoot!" The Tatars saw that the Ming cavalry was about 50 steps away, so they began to order the soldiers to shoot. At the same time, Zhang Hao shouted loudly: "Take the firecracker!"
"Take a big firecracker!"
"Take the firecracker!"... Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hao threw it out, and then all the other soldiers were thrown out.
"Chop chop and chop~" "Chop chop and chop!" A large number of arrows shot on Zhang Hao's shield, and some war horses were shot in the legs and staggered. The soldiers above also fell down, and the soldiers behind immediately made up.
"Boom boom!"
"Boom boom!"
"Boom!" In an instant, a violent explosion came from the Tatars. Many big firecrackers exploded in the air, with a large killing surface. The Tatar soldiers in front were all dismounted, and the war horses of the Tatar cavalry were also frightened and uncontrollable. The entire Tatar team was in chaos.
"Kill!" Zhang Hao and the others continued to throw the firecrackers, and they would not stop at all, just throw them forward.
The war horses on the Tatar side had already begun to turn around and ran back, afraid that the Tatar soldiers wanted to control them, but they could not control them at all. Later, Zhang Hao and his team were still coming here, just throwing grenades in front.
According to previous training, after the soldiers in the first row rushed to the enemy, they had to put down their shields and start fighting with the enemy in close combat. The soldiers in the second row continued to throw firecrackers in front, and the soldiers in the third row were spared, and the people in the front fell down and made up for them later.
"Kill!" Zhang Hao put down his shield at this moment, held a hammer in his hand, and directly hammered a Tatar soldier off the horse with one hammer. Zhang Hao was surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, who were responsible for protecting Zhang Hao's safety.
