The Yuan army and the Ming army that were fighting became anxious.
Suddenly, the sound of killing was heard in the distance, and the cavalry was quickly heading towards the place of battle.
Hearing the cry of killing, the movements of both warring parties froze.
Li Wenzhong gave a hasty order.
"Get a mirror."
The guard beside him picked up the telescope and handed it to Li Wenzhong.
Through the telescope, the sight was zoomed in, and except for the cavalry who were charging forward, the flags at the rear gradually became clear.
A large military flag embroidered with Chinese characters came into view, followed by a large flag embroidered with the Chinese character Xu, and then the five divine military flags: Green Dragon Flag, White Tiger Flag, Suzaku Flag, Tang Snake Flag, and Xuanwu Flag.
Seeing the military flag, Li Wenzhong felt reassured.
"The general has arrived. This battle must be won. You don't have to hold anything back. Follow me and capture Emperor Yuan. He will be granted the title of general and will be right in front of you. Charge!"
After hearing the words passed down by Li Wenzhong, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. Li Wenzhong took the lead and immediately defeated the Yuan army.
However, Wang Baobao and Zhaozong looked ashen at this time. They were either their own people or their enemies.
He has already mobilized all the troops and horses on the prairie, and the possibility that the one coming is one of his own is extremely slim.
Besides, it was already difficult for Li Wenzhong's 50,000-strong army to win. Now that a group of new troops have joined, there is no suspense about defeat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Baobao quickly ran to Zhaozong's Luan frame.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly. This battle is out of the question. I am here to delay your Majesty's time. Head all the way east. As long as we reach Liaodong, we will still have a chance to make a comeback."
Wang Baobao's words finally made Zhaozong wake up and replied.
"I'm leaving, what will you do?"
"Your majesty's kindness in promoting me will not be repaid by me. As long as your majesty can go to Liaodong safely, I will have no regrets even if I die. Please take care of yourself."
"No, even though the Ming army is huge, I, Dayuan, am not a vegetarian. The number of people coming is only 20,000 or 30,000, and one hundred thousand will still have an advantage over 70,000 or 80,000."
"If I run away, then I really have no hope at all. I have already realized that if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent person. There is death and no life. I swear to live and die with all the soldiers. Needless to say."
After listening to Zhaozong's words, Wang Baobao really wanted to say: I can't beat him, I really can't beat him.
There was still a slight chance of winning, but with Xu Da's arrival, there was no hope at all.
But Zhaozong's words still make some sense. With Zhaozong here, the morale is different from without Zhaozong here.
If Zhaozong ran away, the one hundred thousand army would definitely end up dead and alive.
"Your Majesty, having said that, I narrowly escaped death here, but now that I'm gone, there's still some hope. Please don't take advantage of me."
Wang Baobao's words made Zhaozong hesitate a little, but then he strengthened his belief.
As an aspiring young man, it is not his style to run away so easily. Besides, he made good promises when he came here, but suddenly he couldn't go back.
He also left his wife and children behind, and fled to Liaodong as hastily as a lost dog.
I really couldn't bear it. Even if I managed to escape with my life, what prestige would I still have, considering that I had only been in power for a year or two.
At the very least, we have to fight a battle. Only when we can't do anything about it can we escape.
"I believe in all the soldiers and the Prime Minister's ability. I will wait here. Don't let me down."
Unable to persuade him, Wang Baobao could only sigh heavily. It was only a matter of time before he lost the situation in front of him. After all, he had not won.
Zhaozong didn't listen to the advice. If he didn't run away now, it would be too late if he ran away later.
However, Zhaozong insisted on staying, so Wang Baobao could only pray for the blessing of the Immortal God and obey the destiny of heaven.
Wang Baobao hurriedly mobilized 20,000 troops to face the Central Army that was attacking from behind.
At the same time, messengers were dispatched to the left and right wings to inform Halazhang and Manzi.
For the current plan, only by joining forces together can we compete with the Ming army. Otherwise, given the morale and ability of the Ming army, it will only be destroyed.
The morale of Xu Da's middle route army was high at this time, and Xu Da gave too much, especially to these proud and powerful generals who fought from the south to the north.
As soon as the armies of the two sides came into contact, the situation became one-sided.
The 20,000 troops that were hastily mobilized were like chickens and dogs, and the ice and snow melted quickly.
Xu Da's middle route army seemed to be in an uninhabited territory, especially the soldiers under his command who had a clear goal and went straight to the yellow patch among the enemy troops.
Harazhang and Manzi also saw Xu Da's middle route army appearing behind the middle route of the Yuan army. Knowing that nothing could be done, they hurried towards the middle route with their men and horses without waiting for orders.
At this time, looking from the sky above the grassland, the middle road was attacked by the armies of Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, and they were quickly defeated.
The two groups of men and horses were like arrows, inserting straight into the Yuan army.
The two groups of Yuan troops on the left and right hurriedly headed to the middle road.
When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. The bravery of the Ming army is not on the same level as that of the Yuan army. After all, the Yuan army also experienced a major defeat and gained it.
After fighting all the way, the Ming army was very close to the yellow patch, but by this time, the Yuan army was not so easy to fight.
The soldiers and horses guarding Zhaozong and protecting our emperor are more sophisticated.
At this time, the effect of Zhaozong Yujia's personal expedition appeared. Although he could not defeat them, few escaped.
It caused a lot of damage to Xu Da and Li Wenzhong.
Seeing that the situation is becoming stalemate, it will take more time to resolve.
The armies on both wings of the Yuan army did not wait for anyone.
Xu Da sent out a suicide squad, which was inspired by Xu Da's previous victory.
Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out of Xu Da's army in the middle, each holding a thunderbolt and a fire fold in their hands.
Regardless, he rushed into the Yuan army, the elite guarding Zhaozong.
As a series of banging sounds were heard, a hole was suddenly blown open in the barrier protecting Zhaozong.
The Ming army that followed quickly rushed towards Zhaozong's location.
As danger approached, Zhaozong panicked.
Wang Baobao tried his best and quickly ran to Zhaozong.
"Your Majesty, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
After speaking, without waiting for Zhaozong's reply, he looked at Zhaozong's personal guard commander.
"You must protect His Majesty's safety and go all the way east. Don't stop until Liaodong. Go quickly."
"Yes, Prime Minister, take care."
"Protect Your Majesty, let's go."
Not caring about the miscellaneous things, he pulled Zhaozong onto his horse, and a passage was revealed among the Yuan army.
The group of people drove away in a hurry.
Seeing Zhaozong leaving, Wang Baobao quickly ordered and raised the saber in his hand.
"Generals, listen to the order and charge with me."
Even though Wang Baobao tried his best to form a line of defense, he wanted to buy Zhaozong time to leave.
But suddenly, the soldiers of the Ming army were like hungry wolves, looking at the direction Zhaozong left, their eyes glowing green.
The defense line that Wang Baobao had barely formed collapsed at the first touch, and even Wang Baobao himself was knocked off his horse by Soldier A.
The living are more valuable than the dead, and Wang Baobao became a prisoner of the Ming army.
