Hongguang second year, June 20th.
After traveling for most of the time, Master Wang and Gao Jie finally "reunited" in Yongquan Town, Xiao County.
Yonghuan Town, Yonghuan Mountain, and Yonghuan Lake.
With large plains and ample water resources, this place is definitely a suitable battlefield.
Therefore, Li Jingwu chose this place.
And similarly, Gao Jie also chose this place.
Two hundred thousand troops, stretching for hundreds of miles, were intertwined and confused, causing harm to countless villages, towns, and farmland along the way.
Gao Jie climbed up and looked up, only to see the Ming army on the opposite side. The military camps were neatly arranged, full of flags, and seemed orderly.
But on my side, it was indeed chaotic.
The number of each camp was wrong, so the size of the camps was naturally different. Coupled with the fear between each other, you fought for it, which really wasted a lot of time.
A day passed before I could move in.
"This group of Ming soldiers is a bit different."
Gao Jie muttered, feeling a hint of regret in his heart.
At that time, except for Huang Degong, he didn't pay attention to the other two towns in Jiangbei. He even dared to fight together to capture Yangzhou.
Now there were only 80,000 people in front of him, but it gave him a tall feeling.
At night, Gao Jie couldn't let go of his heart palpitations, endured his exhaustion, and began to patrol the night.
"Cheer up, everyone!"
He kicked the dozing guard down and scolded him.
After some hard work, the military camp was finally improved.
However, 200,000 people were divided into ten camps, next to each other, and he could not inspect them.
Suddenly, there was a noise in his ears.
"Yingxiao——"
Shocked, Gao Jie's face instantly turned pale.
"Quick, what went wrong?"
After giving the order, Gao Jie became more and more uneasy.
After a while, I saw the fire rising into the sky in the distance, like a section of red clouds, illuminating the entire dark night.
"Where did this fire come from?"
"Commander, this seems to be General Li Chengdong's camp."
The soldiers on the side looked at it and couldn't help but say.
"Li Chengdong? He and Qin Dapeng are in the same military camp, right?"
Gao Jie said in a deep voice: "He has always been bold and cautious, how could he be so careless?"
In order to better command the entire army, Gao Jie placed his trusted generals in the same battalion with the feared troops for supervision.
Once something happens, it's best to deal with it in time.
"Tonight is so difficult!"
Gao Jie couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, a fire was burning in Li Chengdong's military camp, and a large number of tents were burned. However, Li Chengdong and Qin Dapeng seemed to be watching a show.
"I never thought that General Li would also defect to the imperial court." Qin Dapeng's face was brightly illuminated by the fire. Looking at the cold-faced Li Chengdong, he couldn't help but say.
"I am originally a member of the imperial court, an officer and a soldier. How could I surrender to the rebels?"
Li Chengdong's eyes were bright, but he retorted: "I am so loyal and loyal that I will not hesitate to draw a clear line with the thief Gao Jie."
"good!"
At this time, suddenly another army rushed in.
The two of them looked up and saw, oh, the next door was also burning.
This time, it seemed there was no choice.
Li Chengdong sighed in his heart.
"Two of you, I am the Jinyi Guard Baihu, Chu Yu. We will act as planned tonight and lead the army out of the camp as quickly as possible to the central army."
At this time, one of Qin Dapeng's personal guards suddenly walked out, held his head high and spoke confidently.
This time, it was Li Chengdong's turn to be surprised.
Soon, a cavalry galloped forward, carrying everyone forward.
Ten thousand, twenty thousand, forty thousand, one hundred thousand...
Half of the military camp was on fire, and countless troops fled, weapons in hand, not knowing who they were targeting.
At the same time, a large number of Ming troops also attacked in the middle of the night. The entire ground seemed like thousands of horses galloping, which was shocking.
"How is this possible, how is this possible?"
Gao Jie looked up at the endless army, and the shock in his heart could not be washed away.
People rebelled against relatives and separated, but that was all.
In the face of a huge army, simple fences and military strongholds are simply not enough to stop the enemy.
And he is like a small boat in the river waves, drifting with the current and sinking easily.
"This is the general trend!"
Li Jingwu looked at the situation on the battlefield and couldn't help but show a confident smile.
He had never thought of defeating Gao Jie directly on a frontal battlefield. The damage in such a battle would be too high and it was really not a good idea.
Therefore, a simple night attack, coupled with internal and external collusion, was enough to break Gao Jie's military morale and win the battle.
"Commander, I'm afraid half of Gao Jie's subordinates have surrendered."
On the side, Prime Minister Hui Deng couldn't help but ask.
The overwhelming fire is enough to drown the morale of all soldiers. No matter how brave Gao Jie was, he could not escape the fate of defeat.
"good!"
Li Jingwu showed a confident smile: "As the saying goes, the first step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the enemy, the second step is to attack the army, and the second step is to attack the city."
"Jinyiwei has been intertwined and penetrated too much these days. Coupled with Gao Jie's reverse behavior, there are countless people who have abandoned the dark and turned to the light."
"The general ledger will be settled later."
Immediately, Li Jingwu waved his hand, and the cavalry battalion, Mingguang battalion, Minghui battalion, etc. also all attacked and beat up the drowned dogs.
Nearly 100,000 Huo camp soldiers and horses rushed forward at all costs, like a flood overflowing a dike, destroying the entire military camp.
Gao Jie and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Bah, you will use these dirty tricks to fight with real swords and guns?"
Gao Jie was furious and cursed angrily.
But no matter how loud he shouted, no one paid attention to him.
Helpless, he could only look for directions secretly and prepare to escape.
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
"You're a bunch of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, I'm going to cut you alive sooner or later."
Gao Jie cursed angrily and ran away impatiently.
After leaving Yongxian Town, Gao Jie had less than 10,000 soldiers and horses around him.
But he still refused to give up and kept calming the soldiers' morale.
After escaping for nearly thirty miles, the horse was foaming at the mouth, apparently unable to hold on any longer.
"Get rid of the infantry!"
Gao Jie immediately ordered.
"Drop the armor!"
In the end, he only led more than a thousand people and took a trail, preparing to escape from the battlefield.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by a group of troops on the way.
Under his desperate hacking, he finally escaped with his life.
"Finally, survived!"
At this time, there were only about a hundred people around him.
The clear stream made him overjoyed.
Just when he turned his head and was about to share the joy, suddenly, a knife was placed on his neck.
"you?"
Gao Jie's face changed drastically as he looked at the soldiers he regarded as brothers.
"Master Hou, I'm sorry, I want to survive!"
One person lowered his head and swallowed.
The other person was very proud, raised the token he collected around his waist, and said:
"I'm sorry, Marquis Ying, I am a Jin Yiwei."
