"Father, what's wrong?"
Zou Youcheng frowned slightly when he saw Mr. Zou Da, stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Mr. Zou Da nodded and was about to speak when he accidentally saw a piece of high ground in front of him on the right.
So after he signaled the soldiers and horses to stop, he took Zou Youcheng and other cronies and drove the horses over.
Mr. Zou Da walked to the top of the slope and looked into the distance.
Although this place is on high ground, it is still two or three miles away from the Jurchen camp, so it is impossible to clearly see the battle situation.
However, because the Jurchens were stationed on a flat ground to facilitate the galloping of their war horses, and the fire was soaring into the sky in the distance, the war had already spread, and fire was looming everywhere. Therefore, although Mr. Zou Da could not see the overall situation, he could still see most of it clearly. Case.
I saw the Ming soldiers below divided into dozens of square formations, relying on their formations to block the Jurchen cavalry.
However, under the fierce impact of the cavalry, nearly half of the formation was scattered, and many Ming soldiers were already fleeing. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Zou Da looked at a guard beside him and asked, "Have all Li Jing's troops attacked?"
When the guard asked, he hurriedly replied: "According to the information from our spies, except for the thousand personal guards around Li Jing, all other soldiers and horses have already pressed forward."
"At the beginning, they had some upper hand. Later, the Jurchens gave up putting out the fire and counterattacked with all their strength. They held on for about a quarter of an hour and then fell into a disadvantage again."
"Firefighting?"
Mr. Zou Da glanced at the guard with some dissatisfaction and said, "Isn't it because the Jurchens are in civil strife instead of putting out the fire?"
The guard said with some embarrassment: "The war had already started, and the Ming soldiers failed to break into the Jurchen camp. Our spies didn't..."
After listening to the guards' story, Mr. Zou Da knew that they were not to blame for the incident. He casually reassured them and asked, "Were Li Jing's cavalry seriously damaged? Why are there so few in number at this moment?"
The guard nodded and said, "It is said that in order to have the effect of a surprise attack, Li Jing initially arranged for the cavalry to rush into the camp. However, the Jurchen cavalry were quite fierce. Not only did they fail, but they lost nearly half of the troops."
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, there is something wrong here!"
"I remember that when Li Jing first arrived in Jizhou, he had more than 2,000 cavalry. Later, more than 3,000 cavalry were temporarily added. The total number of cavalry should be five or six thousand."
"And Chongzhen's suspected soldiers only have more than a thousand people, so Li Jing should have about 4,000 soldiers this time. Even if they are reduced by half, there should be more than 2,000 people."
"Besides, Li Jing is not a reckless person. He will never use all his cavalry to charge..."
After listening to Mr. Zou Da's analysis, the guard's face became even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, please forgive me, I will send someone to investigate now!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave when he heard Zou Youcheng's voice: "No need, they are already here!"
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, a fast-moving fire dragon appeared in front of them to the right.
When Mr. Zou Da saw this, he sighed and said, "This Li Jing is really cautious. He didn't move out of the ambush until now."
"If we had rushed out rashly before, we would most likely have fallen into his scheme..."
As he spoke, he stopped again, looked at the fire dragon and said, "Since it's an ambush, why are the two teams so far apart..."
Before Mr. Zou Da finished speaking, he suddenly saw that the soldiers in front of the fire dragon seemed to be in a commotion, and then rushed forward quickly.
He was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the front right and asked, "Is that Li Jing's command post?"
The guard took a look and said with some confusion: "That is indeed Li Jing's command post...but why did he lead the charge? Is Li Jing prepared to fight to the death?"
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, his expression became more solemn, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.
After a while, a group of infantry rushed out.
Mr. Zou Da frowned even more when he saw that the formation of the infantry had dispersed, but they still tightly protected the few people in the middle and rushed forward.
At this time, the Jurchen cavalry also
Discovering this new force, they quickly rushed toward them.
At the same time, the cavalry from behind also caught up, and the three groups of people immediately fought together.
"Father, take a look, the cavalry chasing you seems to be wolf soldiers!"
Just when Mr. Zou Da frowned, Zou Youcheng on the side respectfully handed over a telescope and said with some worry.
Mr. Zou Da was already suspicious. When he heard this, he hurriedly took the telescope and quickly looked forward.
But they didn't notice that below them, a group of Ming soldiers were leading the Jurchen cavalry here.
"No, we have fallen into a trap, immediately..."
"boom!"
Before Mr. Zou Da finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the left rear, followed by the sound of close firecrackers.
"hiss!"
"ah!"
"We are surrounded!"
"Quick, rush out!"
"No, I have enemies here!"
"I have one here too..."
"Quick, charge forward!"
...
The wolf soldiers were stunned by the sudden attack. When they were panicking, they suddenly saw several people rushing forward, and others quickly followed.
"What are you doing? Come back soon!"
"Youcheng, stop chasing, let's retreat quickly!"
Just when Zou Youcheng was about to stop the wolf soldiers, Mr. Zou Da stopped him.
Hearing this, Zou Youcheng said reluctantly: "Father, we only have this army now, and if they charge like this, they will also help Li Jing. We..."
Mr. Zou Da ignored him and shouted: "Quickly retreat!"
After he said that, he immediately turned the horse's head and galloped to the right.
When Zou Youcheng saw this, although he was unwilling to give in, he still chased after him.
Only Mr. Zou Da ran more than a hundred meters when he suddenly let out a roar and then stopped.
Zou Youcheng heard the sound and thought that Mr. Zou Da had been plotted.
He hurriedly asked the guards to surround Mr. Zou Da, and then said in a panic: "Father, where are you injured?"
However, when he saw that Mr. Zou Da was not injured, but his face was pale, he said with some confusion: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Mr. Zou Da let out a long sigh and said with a tired look on his face: "There is no need to run away, Chongzhen will not hunt us down!"
"Won't you hunt us down?"
Zou Youcheng repeated it subconsciously, was stunned, and said with a surprised look on his face: "You are saying that Chongzhen deliberately brought us into the situation to take the opportunity to drive a wedge between you and..."
"It's good to know!"
Mr. Zou Da interrupted Zou Youcheng's words and said slowly: "This time it was my father's carelessness and I fell into Chongzhen's trap!"
"However, he is too trusting and indulges his opponent in such a critical situation. He will definitely regret what he did today when he becomes a father in the future!"
"You are worthy of being His Majesty's opponent!"
As soon as Mr. Zou Da finished speaking, another heroic voice sounded.
Afterwards, Brother Li Wu appeared in front of Mr. Zou Da with more than a hundred riders.
"Brother Li Wu?"
After Zou Youcheng exclaimed, he immediately stood in front of Mr. Zou Da and glared angrily. literature
Brother Li Wu smiled easily and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to arrest you, but to give you officers!"
Hearing this, Zou Youcheng's face became even more angry. He tightened the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brother Li Wu, don't be so arrogant. I'll meet you when Zou comes!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to ride forward, but was stopped by Mr. Zou Da.
Zou Youcheng glanced at Mr. Zou Da reluctantly, but still stepped aside respectfully, while watching Brother Li Wu and others with vigilance.
At this moment, Mr. Zou Da has recovered from his previous frustration, annoyance, anger and other emotions, and said calmly: "Brother Li Wu, I advise you to kill us, otherwise, you will definitely
I will regret it! "
Brother Li Wu smiled lightly and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Zou Da!"
Although the corners of Mr. Zou Da's mouth were twitching slightly, he said with a smile on his face: "I wonder where my happiness comes from?"
Brother Li Wu said: "Before I came here, Your Majesty once told me that if Mr. Zou Da becomes furious after seeing me, I will make you the General of Return!"
"If you are calm, I will make you Uncle Guiyuan!"
"Now that you are calm and relaxed, you should be returning to your distant uncle. I would like to congratulate you!"
When Mr. Zou Da heard this, two unusual blushes immediately appeared on his face.
He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you go back and tell Chongzhen, I thank him for his generous gift!"
"At the same time, I hope that the next time I see him, he can still be so confident!"
Brother Li Wu laughed and said, "I will convey your words to Your Majesty!"
"However, I don't know, Uncle Gui Yuan, whether you still have the chance to meet His Majesty!"
Brother Li Wu said and waved again. Two people behind him immediately got off their horses and placed official uniforms, seals, ribbons and other items one by one in front of Mr. Zou Da.
"Mr. Zou Da, I hope we can meet again in the future, hahaha..."
Brother Li Wu laughed for a while and then left with everyone.
Although Brother Li Wu tried his best to ridicule him before leaving, Mr. Zou Da ignored him and just stared closely at the official uniforms and other items on the ground.
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off the horse.
