    In Daxing, Wang Xian had been fighting Zhang Fu's army for most of the day.  At this time, the gap in the quality of the two armies became apparent. Wang Xian's soldiers came from afar and fought for a long time, but they could still maintain strong combat effectiveness, while Zhang Fu's army only pursued it with all its strength for most of a day and was exhausted.  , increasingly unable to keep up with Wang Xian.  Wang Xian can even ask the army to stop and rest for a while, waiting for the pursuers. If this momentum continues, Zhang Fu's army can be dragged to death.  "My lord, you can take the opportunity to hit them!" Zhang Yi and others called for battle one after another: "Destroy Daxing's army to avoid being attacked from both sides!" Jin Yiwei has already sent the news that Zhu Zhanji led his army south to Wang Xian's army!  Wang Xian was unmoved and continued to move eastward unhurriedly, as if he wanted to fight Zhang Fu to the end.  When the soldiers were confused, they saw several fast horses galloping from the north under the banner of Xu Huaiqing.  The fast horses were led to Wang Xian, and the knight immediately reported loudly without bothering to dismount and salute: "My lord, Yang Rong, with an army of 100,000 people and escorting 200,000 civilians, has begun to transport Tongzhou's grain and grass to the capital.  "What?" Wang Xian's expression changed in shock, and he asked in a voice: "Where is General Xu?" "This bastard!"  His face fell into silence.  None of the generals around him dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Wang Xian's thoughts.  At this moment, it was completely difficult for Wang Xian to maintain a calm mood.  He had to review again, whether he had underestimated the enemy too much from the beginning!  "Sir, your strategy is correct. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Our army has no other way. The only way to completely reverse the situation of the war is to break through the barrier as soon as possible and capture Tongzhou!" Seeing that Wang Xian seemed to be trying to get into trouble, Mo Wen quickly sighed.  He said in a loud voice: "If we didn't attack Zhangjiakou immediately, use more than 100,000 foreign and medium-sized troops to attract the main force of the government army, and sneak across the Zijin Pass at starry night, we would be trapped in the Hetao! As time goes by, the soldiers want to return,  If the morale of the army is scattered, it will be defeated without fighting!" "Well" Wang nodded and sighed: "We really have no choice." "And the officers and soldiers cannot be all useless, at least Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others.  There is no false person under the reputation." Mo Wen then consoled him: "We can think of Tongzhou as the life gate of the capital, and Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi can naturally think of it too! Since Tongzhou is related to the survival of the capital, it is also true that they use a hundred thousand troops to escort it.  That's what the question means! " "Yeah, I shouldn't underestimate the heroes of the world!" Wang Xian said, but he laughed and said: "How can we compete in the Central Plains without a master?"  "Master, just make up your mind! We can go up the mountain of knives and into the sea of ??fire without even frowning!" Zhang Yi and others saw that the coach cheered up, and they all shouted loudly.  "I'm sorry everyone, it was my commander who was too aggressive that put you in danger!" Wang Xian smiled apologetically to everyone. The situation in front of him was indeed extremely dangerous. The reinforcements from Shandong had not yet arrived, but Wang Xian brought two men with him.  Thousands of troops, rushing into the vicinity of the capital where more than 200,000 troops are stationed, are tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife!  After hearing this, the generals were about to comfort Wang Xian when they saw him raise his eyebrows and change the subject: "But if we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we can only use dangerous tactics! Since we have chosen this path, we can only  The danger is over! " "Don't fight with them anymore, the army will go north to Tongzhou immediately!" Wang Xian roared and issued an order to his soldiers!  The generals were shocked when they heard the fate, and they all understood that the coach was going to make a desperate move!  Because once the army chooses to go north to Tongzhou, without a magical stroke to reverse the situation, it will soon be heavily surrounded by the three-pronged army of the prince, Zhang Fu, and Yang Rong!  However, the generals had no fear, and instead howled with excitement: "Yes!" After a series of incredible victories, all of them firmly believed that their coach had a pair of weapons that could see through the surface of the battle situation and get to the root of victory or defeat.  Insight!  It will definitely guide them to defeat powerful enemies and achieve final victory!  Under this crazy and even blind trust, the fifteen thousand cavalry immediately turned their horses and galloped away to the north!  Before leaving, Wang Xian had someone send a message to the Shandong reinforcements, asking them to act according to the situation Nowadays, the complexity of the battle and the unpredictable results are no longer predictable by ordinary people, and he can only give such a vague statement.  Order, let Erhei and Deng Xiaoxian make their own judgment Tongzhou.  Under Yang Rong's strict order, Li Xian led 20,000 cavalry in the city to fight against Xu Huaiqing. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The soldiers of the Imperial Army who were guarding the grain and grass only had to gather all their energy to protect the safety of the grain transport team.  The task of driving Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry was all handed over toThe virtuous 20,000 cavalrymen.  Li Xian's army is composed of elite cavalry such as Hu Ben, Hussar and other guards. Even though their ability is not as good as Xu Huaiqing's men, with the large number of people and the fresh force, it is still not a problem to stick closely behind them!  ¡°At this moment, Xu Huaiqing and his five thousand cavalry could no longer be in a deserted situation. It was even difficult for them to get close to the official grain transport team.  The 20,000 cavalrymen were too many, and they were divided into several teams to outflank, block, and support each other. They did not give them any chance to take advantage of them!  Seeing the change in the battle situation, the government and military escort team cheered, and their fear of Xu Huaiqing suddenly eased a lot.  Under the urging of Messenger Yang Rong, they all prepared to go on the road again "It's not okay to go on like this!" Xu Huaiqing was so anxious that he couldn't think of any good ideas.  At this moment, dozens of Jinyi guards came out of the thorns and came to Xu Huaiqing.  When Xu Huaiqing saw that the leader was Zhang Dong, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Why are you here?!" Zhang Dong is the surviving newcomer of Jinyiwei in Hulu Valley. Heir to Shi Wan's mantle, he has grown very fast in the past few years and has become Jinyiwei.  a commander.  Wang Xian knew that he was cautious, so after transferring Wu Wei and others out of the capital, he left him in the capital to secretly lead the lurking Jin Yiwei camera.  ¡°Obviously, Zhang Dong also knew that the most critical moment had come, and he actually appeared in broad daylight with his spies!  "General, I'm here to support you." Zhang Dong grinned at Xu Huaiqing, revealing eight white teeth.  "That's all you have?!" Zhang Dahai looked at the few people around Zhang Dong and thought to himself that even if they were all top experts, it would be of no use!  "There are still five hundred men and horses, all elite spies of the Jin Yiwei," Zhang Dong said lightly: "I asked them to ambush in the distance, ready for the general's dispatch at any time!" "It's still a drop in the bucket" Zhang Dahai curled his lips.  "Great!" Xu Huaiqing said happily: "How many explosives do you have in your hand?!" Xu Huaiqing didn't ask if he had any, but directly asked how many. He had obviously guessed the original purpose of Zhang Dong's trip.  "A lot" Zhang Dong replied as expected: "Originally, we wanted to sneak into the grain transport team and get a big hit!" He said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Who would have thought that if we came one step too late, the officers and soldiers would already be there?"  The general was beaten to a coward" "Is it enough to blow up the bridge?" Xu Huaiqing interrupted Zhang Dong and asked in a deep voice.  "What bridge?" Zhang Dong asked cautiously.  "Yongtong Bridge!" "No problem." Zhang Dong said confidently: "That kind of bridge only needs to explode at a specific location and fall down as soon as it explodes. It doesn't take much explosives!" "If you have extra explosives, try to destroy Yongtong Bridge as much as possible!"  The wider the scope of damage to the ice on the left and right of the bridge, the better!" Xu Huaiqing said in a deep voice: "Go quickly! I will lead the army to kill you in half an hour!" "Uh" What else did Zhang Dong want to say?  When he heard that he only had half an hour, he quickly turned around and left, racing against time to prepare With Zhang Dong's help, Xu Huaiqing's confidence greatly increased, and he said loudly to his soldiers: "Children, cheer up! Let them see what's going on.  They are the real cavalry!¡± The soldiers responded loudly, cheered up, turned to look at the moon, and used their special cavalry and shooting skills to shoot at the pursuers behind them!  Li Xian and his 20,000 cavalry had just taken the initiative and were about to defeat the 5,000 cavalry in one go, when they suddenly encountered a head-on attack from them!  The cavalry in front screamed and fell to the ground with their horses and men. The cavalry behind them were caught off guard and tripped a lot. This made them angry and furious. They desperately mobilized their horses to catch up and fought back with bows, arrows and muskets!  After all, they are the elite aces of the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Xian's muskets are far inferior to Xu Huaiqing's, their riding and shooting skills are comparable.  Once the attack started, Xu Huaiqing and the others would be really in trouble. They could only use all their strength to mobilize their horses to distance themselves from the enemy.  The arrogant Xu Huaiqing was forced to retreat, which made Li Xian and others extremely excited. They excitedly urged his subordinates to pursue and fight fiercely. Even if they could not be eliminated, it would be a great victory if they could drive Xu Huaiqing away from a distance!  However, Xu Huaiqing refused to escape far away, and just retreated eastward along the official road. Li Xian had no choice but to follow behind.  However, he was not too worried. Tongzhou was still ten miles away. Where could Xu Huaiqing escape to?  After chasing and escaping like this, when they arrived at Yongtong Bridge, Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry quickly crossed the bridge!  Without thinking, Li Xian led his men onto the bridge. Unexpectedly, he had just passed the bridge when he heard an earth-shaking loud noise behind him. Almost at the same time, his feet trembled violently, and a fierce air wave enveloped him.  The gravel and ice shards rushed towards his back!  The soldiers around Li Xian wailed and fell off their horses. Fortunately, the soldiers around him blocked the impact of the explosion and prevented him from being knocked off his horse¡­ Even so, Li Xian was still shocked to the point where his ears were buzzing and his vision was pitch black.  When he finally regained his sight, he saw that Xu Huaiqing and others who had fled had turned around and came back to kill him!  Li Xian couldn't help but look back hastily, and his heart was broken - he saw that the river ten feet away behind him was filled with floating corpses of men and horses and large pieces of broken ice And the Yongtong Bridge that originally spanned the river was only  The bridge piers on both sides are left, but the bridge body on the river is missing
