    Seeing that the Yongtong River had been bombed into nothing, the more than 10,000 cavalrymen who had not yet crossed the river were already in a mess. Some people dismounted to rescue the injured Pao Ze, while others were milling around the river, trying to cross the river.  However, miles of ice were cracked and broken by the explosion. As soon as the war horse stepped on it, it would lose its footing and fall into the river, and was trapped on the other side for a while!  We could only count on the thousands of cavalrymen who had already crossed the river, but half of these guys were so dizzy that they couldn't find their way north, and the other half were frightened to death by the enemy troops that counterattacked, and their combat power dropped from ten to five.  Driven by Li Xian, they reluctantly formed a formation to meet the enemy, but they were no match for Xu Huaiqing and others who succeeded in one blow and had high morale!  As soon as the battle started, the officers and soldiers were killed and completely defeated. Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Xian dared not wait for the large troops on the other side to get around, so he quickly escaped under the protection of his own soldiers.  Although Li Xian was not very good at fighting, the armor he wore was very expensive and well-kept. It shone brightly under the winter sunset, allowing Xu Huaiqing to lock this guy firmly and follow behind without spending much energy.  He chased Li Xian until he lost his soul. Fortunately, he had a war horse on his hip and the distance was short, so he managed to escape back to Tongzhou City with great difficulty!  Xu Huaiqing chased him to the gate of Tongzhou City and saw Li Xian entering the city. Then he led his army back in a show of force to deal with the leaderless army and cavalry!  .  At this time, the sky was getting dark. Looking at Li Xian who had returned home, Yang Rong's old face was darker than the sky.  Seeing the murderous Yang Rong, Li Xian couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, and whispered to the soldiers around him: "He will kill me later, you must stop him" The soldiers nodded and held tightly.  Li Xian dared to stand in front of Yang Rong and said with a shameful expression: "Mr. Ge, I have tried my best, but I have no choice but to say that one foot is higher than the other" "All of your 20,000 cavalry were killed.  Already?" Yang Rong looked at Li Xian in disbelief, how could this fight be fought?  "That's not true. Our army just fell into the trap accidentally. The main force is intact, but, just" Li Xian was blushing and speechless.  "It's just that the general was chased back to Tongzhou! Why don't you find a piece of tofu and die?!" Yang Rong roared angrily, calling Li Xian a pig's head, but he also knew that Li Xian couldn't be killed.  Yes, the other party has a higher status than himself, has a closer relationship with the prince than himself, and the army also listens to him Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yang Rong asked about the ins and outs of the matter and learned that it was not that the enemy's combat power was unmatched.  It was because of a trick, so he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Xiandao coldly: "You guard Tongzhou City, I will personally go out to preside over the battle!" "It's already dark, it's not too late for you to leave the city tomorrow morning." Seeing Yang  Rong Bu killed himself, Li Xian burst into tears of gratitude and said hurriedly to please him.  "No, it's too late! If we put it off until tomorrow, the day lilies will be cold!" Yang Rong asked someone to fetch the war horse and turn him over. He did not forget Qian's instructions to Li Xiandao: "Now the war situation is turbulent, you must always keep your eyes open.  Eyes, guard Tongzhou City! There must be no more mistakes!" "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I promise you won't be fooled again!" Li Xian smacked his chest and swore to the sky: "The city is alive but the people are alive.  People are dead!" "I hope you gain wisdom" Yang Rong sighed. If possible, he didn't want to use Li Xian to defend the city, but there were really no generals around him.  And if it had been anyone else, Li Xian would definitely be dissatisfied. He would definitely put the general under control and cause trouble Yang Rong led another 20,000 troops out of the city. At this time, only Li Xian's 10,000 troops were left in Tongzhou.  The four guards and horses originally stationed here, a total of 30,000 troops were stationed here. Although it was not too many, considering the situation between the enemy and ourselves, there was no need to worry.  Wang Xian's Shandong army is still far away in Cangzhou. Even if he suddenly leaves Daxing and comes over with all his strength, trying to break through Tongzhou City with thick walls, complete facilities and a garrison of 30,000 troops with 15,000 cavalry is no different.  Idiot's dream!  The only thing that worried Yang Rong was the idiot Li Xian. He could only tell Li Chang, the Minister of Household Affairs who stayed in Tongzhou, to be more considerate for Li Xian and not let him be cheated again.  Despite this, when leaving Tongzhou City in the night, Yang Rong couldn't help but feel excited. This was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty that civilian officials had led the army!  This was simply unimaginable during the Hongwu and Yongle years when civil and military divisions were distinct!  This is likely to become an epoch-making milestone in the Ming Dynasty!  " If not, Yang Rong would not give in to Li Xian.  If there is a stalemate with Li Xian and the other party does not agree with him to lead troops, Yang Rong really has no choice When he came out of Tongzhou City, Yang Rong regained his composure. He knew what the future would bring. It all depended on the battle in front of him. If he could win  Beautiful. From then on, there was no obstacle for civilian officials to lead the army.  If he can't win, or even loses ugly, then everything will be over Excluding all selfish thoughts, Yang Rong ordered the army to march carefully, and at the same time asked people toHe went to contact the cavalry troops brought out by Li Xian, and ordered the grain transport teams huddled everywhere to leave the grain trucks alone. The whole army moved closer to him, preparing to concentrate their forces and strangle Xu Huaiqing's five thousand cavalry overnight!  Originally, Yang Rong was worried that Xu Huaiqing would escape under the cover of night, but he was relieved by the news coming from the front. The guy was actually still wandering around the Yongtong Bridge area, seemingly determined to stay in Tongzhou and Beijing.  between!  "Since you want to die so much, I will help you!" Yang Rong's gray beard was fluttering in the night wind, and he stared coldly at the Yongtong Bridge in the distance. He ordered all the ministries to surround him from all directions, and he must let those damn thousands of cavalry out.  It¡¯s hard to fly without wings!  .  With only the piers of the Yongtong Bridge left, Xu Huaiqing and his soldiers were stepping up their rest and recuperation.  Although it had been burned by fire, the remaining food was everywhere. The soldiers even fed the horses with snow-white rice directly, so that their companions who depended on each other for life and death had a good meal, so that they would have the strength to accompany them to continue to fight the enemy!  Xu Huaiqing held dry food in his hand and ate while inspecting the army in the cold wind. Although he knew very well that Yang Rong's army was surrounding him from all directions, he had no intention of withdrawing.  The soldiers under his command were also aware of their situation, but they showed no fear on their faces. They were talking and laughing loudly. Some even sang the military songs that inspired them to conquer the north and south. The songs floated far and wide in the night wind.  It spread all the way to the ears of the officers and soldiers.  Looking at his subordinates who looked tired but had high morale, Xu Huaiqing let out a long breath and said to Zhang Dong beside him: "Are you sure Yang Rong has come out?" "Yes." Zhang Dong nodded solemnly and said: "I'll confirm it with my own eyes.  After all, he is indeed leading the army out of the city, it should be a few miles away!" "Yes." Xu Huaiqing swallowed the last mouthful of dry food, patted the crumbs between his fingers, and said coldly: "If I make a mistake,  I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" "Don't worry, general," Zhang Dong was always so serious and said calmly, "You don't have to doubt Jin Yiwei's professionalism." "Okay." Xu Huaiqing nodded.  Zhu Ren said: "Why are you still standing there? Go and report the news to the Lord!" In fact, Xu Huaiqing originally planned to deal with the enemy army at night, but when he heard that Yang Rong personally led the army out of the city, he decisively changed his mind and wanted to stay.  At Baliqiao, meet the world-famous Bachelor Yang!  "I have sent someone to report the news a long time ago," Zhang Dong said with a smile: "I brought the news. If you just slap your butt and leave, wouldn't it be a trap?" "Don't be ridiculous, you are here.  There's a use for farts here!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong: "If you don't get out now, you won't be able to leave in a while!" "There are uses for farts, at least they can intoxicate people," Zhang Dong said with a simple smile.  General, if you can't command me, don't waste your efforts." "Get out of here!" Xu Huaiqing glared at Zhang Dong fiercely, and Zhang Dong looked at him without fear.  After a long time, Xu Huaiqing burst out laughing and said: "Sure, when you get to the underworld, if your damn master comes to settle accounts with me, you can make it clear yourself!" "Haha, my master can't" Thinking of Shi Wan, Zhang Dongyi  Face said respectfully: "This old man was left behind, but he resolutely violated military orders and went to Hulu Valley to use his own life to rescue the young master and his party" As he spoke, his words were choked, but his eyes became more determined: "I can't  It's embarrassing for him!" "With a disciple like you, he can't be happy to cheat!" Xu Huaiqing patted Zhang Dong hard on the shoulder.  At this time, Zhang Dahai came over and asked in a deep voice: "General, let's move west. This place is too close to Tongzhou. If anything happens, Yang Rong can just drop his butt and go back!" "That's why  , I have the confidence to nail that old fox here!" Xu Huaiqing shook his head decisively and said: "The man named Yang is cautious by nature, he will not be too far away from Tongzhou!"  No chance." Zhang Dahai said worriedly.  "Don't underestimate the young master, he can open and close, and he can also be a dojo in a snail shell!" Xu Huaiqing said without worry at all: "As long as we do what we should do, we don't have to worry about anything else!"  "Yes" The general was so sure that Zhang Dahai had no choice but to suppress his worries.  At this time, the scout came galloping from a distance and shouted: "There are enemy troops in the north, already several miles away!" "Mount your horse! Meet the enemy!" Xu Huaiqing's majestic voice echoed in the night sky, and the soldiers immediately stood up and fought hard  After swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, they all mounted their horses and formed an array.  "In night battles, when the line of sight is blocked, it is easy to lose sight of the enemy!" Xu Huaiqing, riding on a war horse, told his soldiers: "Don't rely too much on bows, arrows and muskets, but trust in the sword in your hand! Don't retreat in the face of the enemy. Remember,  Everyone facing you is an enemy!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± the soldiers responded loudly.Following their general, they faced the enemy in the north and killed them!  "Follow my Mingdi! The direction of Mingdi is where your soldiers are pointing. Advance or retreat until the last man is fighting!" Xu Huaiqing's roar could actually suppress the roaring hooves of the horses and lead his soldiers with him.  Pounced towards the enemies all over the mountains and plains!
