Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 365 Gong Changhou's Enlightenment
"I'm dead now!"

Outside Yongping City, Guo Xing, Marquis of Gongchang, who always looked majestic and dignified, now looked extremely pale.

Around him, tens of thousands of Ming troops united into a hedgehog-like circular formation, like a flat boat in a stormy sea, resisting the attacks of Yuan armies from all directions.

Although he no longer has the enthusiasm of the past, if he can gain military merits, he is still very happy.When he just arrived and saw Naha Chu attacking the city wall of Yongping Mansion unsuspectingly, his blood boiled briefly because of the temptation to make contributions.However, the instant tens of thousands of cavalrymen appeared on the horizon, the heat in his veins was quickly frozen and cooled.

No matter what, Guo Xing never expected that Naha would have a support army.

The Ming army was still engaged in a bloody battle. In Guo Xing's ears, the loud roars of hundreds of households could be heard from time to time. Tens of thousands of Ming troops formed a formation to protect Guo Xing in the center, trying to replace the attack with defense. Move to leave the battlefield.But Guo Xing knew it was futile, and he figured it out: Naha was not a mediocre person, this old fox had been lingering in the city for several months, waiting for today's opportunity.

Now that he has got into the trap, Naha will not give him a chance to escape.

What he wanted was never a Yongping mansion, but to completely disperse the frontier forces of Jizhen under him, so that Jizhen would become his back garden. , you can bring people here to fight grass valleys and plunder Daming's population and supplies.Even, when he and Yuan Ting are ready, they can directly use this place as a springboard to attack the capital and try to take back the Northern Yuan territory.For such a grand strategic goal, Naha Chu must have made many preparations, and it is impossible to allow mistakes in it.

Just like the wolf king who has been staring at his prey for a long time, once he gets violent, he will definitely tear the prey in front of him to pieces.The defenders of Yongping Mansion were not the prey of Naha, he was Guo Xing.

The army under Nahachu's command was like a pack of wolves under the command of the wolf king, continuously attacking wave after wave, biting the front line of defense of the Ming army.The seemingly indestructible circular formation of the Ming army was riddled with holes from the bite of Nahachu.Naha has more than [-] men, and with such a wolf-like attack, the Ming army with a small number of people must be the first to be unable to sustain it, not to mention that there are countless Mongolian cavalry behind them with arrow rain all over the sky. , cut off their retreat.

"Master Hou, Naha in the front is in a hurry to attack, but the Mongolian cavalry in the back are only shooting arrows from a distance, not approaching." A soldier beside him said to Guo Xing.He has fought with Guo Xing for many years, and he can be regarded as a capable veteran of the Gongchang Hou Mansion.At this moment, he could actually see that the Mongolian cavalry behind them had no strong will to defeat them like the troops under Naha in the front.

"It's better for me to protect Lord Hou and kill the generals from behind. I have a strong army and a strong horse. When Lord Hou goes to find His Majesty and ask for the Heavenly Soldiers, it will not be too late to avenge my brothers..."

His intention was obvious, that he wanted Guo Xing to abandon these inconvenient infantry and simply charge out with cavalry.

Seeing those Mongolian cavalry who were just throwing and wasting in the distance, Guo Xing felt a little moved.Presumably, these cavalrymen who appeared out of thin air were just tribes that Nahachu had found somewhere to help out, not the direct descendants of Nahachu's subordinates.If one's own soldiers protect him and charge forward with the momentum of breaking the boat without fear of death, these cavalry who are unwilling to bear too much loss are still very likely to get out of the way and temporarily avoid the edge.

But after thinking about it, Guo Xing still shook his head. "Since I am the main general, how can I abandon the soldiers under my command to be the only child? I have a Marquis who died in battle, but no Marquis who escaped."

After all, he is still one of the 24 generals in Huaixi.Even if you don't want to die, if your reputation is ruined, even if you return safely, the ending may be worse than death.

After fighting for a lifetime, he finally became a marquis and worshiped general. Even if he escaped back to Beijing by chance, he might not be able to keep this great Liuyang leader.This wealth will also disappear in smoke.

With His Majesty's disposition, there is absolutely no tolerance for honorable beings who set a precedent for running away from battle to live in the world.

Instead of dying under the sound of scolding, and letting future generations lose their wealth and dignity, it is better to fight with one's back at this time...

"Lord Hou!" Guo Xing had led the army for a long time, so he naturally knew how to boost morale. He deliberately amplified his words, and the soldiers around him couldn't help but boost their morale when they heard it.Now that he has decided to fight, Guo Xing also thinks of a way to go to the dark.Taking advantage of the morale boost of the soldiers, he said loudly: "Don't panic, we still have reinforcements!"

"The Second, Fourth and Fifth Highnesses were garrisoned in Changli the day before yesterday, and tens of thousands of troops have been gathered under them. The three Highnesses are wise and courageous, and once went deep into the enemy's rear to seize Shanhaiguan. When they heard that we were in prison, they would definitely send troops to rescue us. "

"As long as I hold on until now, and when the three His Royal Highnesses send troops to arrive, under the attack from inside and outside, these Mongolian Yuan cavalry will surely collapse!"

This word quickly spread among the Ming army. Originally, these Ming soldiers never thought that they would have reinforcements, but just killed the enemy mechanically with a sense of sadness before death.After all, they themselves were formed by gathering most of the troops in Ji Town. In order to contain the powerful Nahachu, under Guo Xing's order, the opportunities in the border counties were all vacant.According to the garrison deployment of the Ming army, if you want to say that the nearest major Ming army is Fu Youde's department in Shuntian.

But after Guo Xing said this, they knew that the friendly army that suddenly appeared from Liaodong and helped Dingliao guard capture Shanhaiguan was actually the three princes.

"It's actually three His Highnesses! Your Highnesses are all rich, and they must be surrounded by heavy guards!"

"I only know that a friendly army left Shanhaiguan and stationed in Changli. I didn't expect them to be so powerful. We are saved!"

"Brothers, hold on! There is so much movement here, Changli will definitely know the news."

"When the reinforcements come, we'll turn to these sons of bitches!"

The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the front line, which was bitten like a dog by the Naha Station, was temporarily pushed back by the fighting soldiers.The sergeants who had only had the will to die looked at the fallen comrades around them, and there was nothing but sadness in their hearts.At this time, it turned into full of anger, and continued to fight with the Yuan army with the momentum of revenge.

"Phew, this can last for another hour." Guo Xing let out a deep breath.The soldiers didn't know, but he knew that the three highnesses had only ten thousand people under their command, and the fifth highness was not afraid of tigers, and dared to act alone in the face of Naha's 10,000+ army, and decided to go to Changli to shelter the refugees.If he knew the situation, maybe he would send troops to rescue him desperately.But he also knew that Nahachu had already sent 5 people to attack Changli.

5 people, five times the number of those three highnesses, I am afraid that at this time, the three young highnesses have already fled the city under the protection of the people around them, and handed over Changli County?

"That's all, I'll wait for all the nobles of Huaixi to be prosperous. If I die in battle and the princes escape, it will just show His Majesty how far the princes who don't know anything about the world are far from us old brothers."

"The military power of the old brothers has been preserved, and those old brothers will also help me arrange the funeral affairs..."

At least, my descendants, with the support of my old brothers, can still enjoy military power, glory and wealth.Guo Xing thought comfortingly.

At this moment, he heard a series of sounds like popping beans coming from far behind. Guo Xing was moving himself for his "sacrificing his life for righteousness", when he suddenly heard this sound, his whole body trembled uncontrollably shake.
