Chapter 161: The Tatar Cavalry Are All Weak
The emperor's mouth twitched, and he said, "Although you were negligent before, which led to the Tatar cavalry's sneak attack on the capital, you were able to rush to help and drive away the Tatar cavalry, which can be regarded as making up for your mistake..."
"You should return to the camp quickly and drive the Tatar cavalry out of our Daliang territory!"
"Here! I will retire at the end!"
Fu Chenan bowed his head decisively, then turned and left.
The man in armor looked murderous and had blood stains on his body. When he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The third prince stood up unwillingly: "Father, this Fu Chenan made such a big mistake. If he is not punished, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people!"
The emperor glanced at him coldly and said, "How about I arrest him and you drive away the Tatar cavalry?"
The Third Prince bowed and stepped back: "I am incompetent and do not have the ability to lead troops to fight. My second brother once led troops. I recommend him to fight."
Even at this time, he still didn't forget to trick his second brother.
What a good son of mine!
The emperor glanced around the court with a cold look and said, "Who else is willing to fight against the Tatar cavalry on behalf of Mr. Fu? I will grant him the title of Marquis, which will be hereditary for generations!"
When the civil officials and military generals heard this, they were immediately in an uproar!
Who wouldn’t want such good treatment?
Even if it's for the future of your family's offspring, you can give it a try!
Soon two generals came forward and said, "We are willing to go!"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
The emperor looked coldly at the two kneeling people and sneered: "Haha!"
Both of them have gray hair.
He knows that this is the only way he can live his life, but he still wants to exchange his life for the future of his family!
The emperor sneered, "Everyone, please wait. I have one more thing to say: If you lead the army in place of Fu Chenan in this battle, but fail to drive the Tatar cavalry out of Daliang, I will exterminate all three clans!"
The two generals looked at each other in surprise: How careless!
Those who had not yet had the chance to kneel down were even more thankful: It was a good thing that they hesitated.
The two generals hesitated for a moment, but eventually kowtowed shamelessly: "I am incompetent and cannot guarantee victory..."
The emperor completely gave up.
If there is anyone among the civil and military officials in the court who can replace Fu Chenan and Fu Zhonghai, he won’t have to endure Fu Chenan anymore!
The emperor waved his hand and adjourned the court.
The Minister of Industry even tried to stop the emperor: "Your Majesty, the weaving workshop was burned down last night. It will cost 5,000 silver to repair it. Should it be repaired? When will it be repaired? Please give your instructions."
The emperor threw an inkstone at him and said, "What instructions are you giving me? Do you know that we have no money? You want to use me to cover the wall?!"
The Minister of Works was so frightened that he knelt down and apologized.
When he looked up, the emperor had already gone far away...
Lu Daban whispered to the eunuch beside him: "Prepare a few more inkstones for His Majesty..."
Fu Chenan left the capital and immediately chased after the Fu family army.
Should we fight the Tatar cavalry?
We must fight. Now the time is almost right...
The Tatar cavalry attacked the capital city all night and were then defeated by Qiu Lishan and his 10,000-strong Fu family army. They were already exhausted.
After finally breaking through and running halfway, they were blocked by 20,000 Fu family soldiers on their way back to the camp.
After waiting all night, Shi Tong and the 20,000 Fu family soldiers were full of energy...
There was almost no suspense. The 10,000 Tatar cavalry were surrounded and wiped out by the 30,000 Fu family troops!
Fifty thousand Tatar cavalrymen were reduced to forty thousand, and the Fu family army also seized nearly ten thousand of the best Tatar war horses. They were so happy that they took off on the spot!
After the Fu family army looted all the good war horses and armor, they sent someone to send a message to the camp outside the capital to clean up the mess, and immediately rushed to Jeju City.
When the people from the camp outside the capital arrived, they saw the corpses of Tatar cavalrymen and the remaining dead horses scattered all over the ground, and they were all confused: These people are the Tatar cavalrymen who attacked the capital last night? !
How could they be so vulnerable in front of the Fu family army?
Several generals looked at each other: Could it be that everyone had overestimated the Tatar cavalry before?
Are they actually vulnerable? Are they all noobs?
The nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong began to emerge, and several generals were frantically excited: if they could defeat the Tatar cavalry, their promotion and wealth would be just around the corner!
Just when the emperor was feeling disheartened, he suddenly received a memorial saying that the commander of the imperial guards in the camp outside the capital was willing to lead his troops to fight against the Tatar cavalry and drive them back to the grassland!
The emperor was still trembling with fear that the Fu family army could completely wipe out 10,000 Tatar cavalrymen. The next second, he heard the news and was overjoyed: "Accurate!"
"If we win this battle, Zhu Shaozhong will be granted the title of Marquis of Yangwei! This will be hereditary for generations!"
After receiving the order, Zhu Shaozhong, the commander of the Beijing Suburban Camp, was so excited that he pointed with the whip in his hand: "Brothers, a bright future is just around the corner, let's charge!"
Fu Chenan asked Shi Tong, Qiu Lishan and Ma Junda to divide the spoils, and the eliminated war horses were "lent" to the White Tiger Army soldiers who had followed the charge before.
The 5,000 cavalrymen of the White Tiger Army had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle and were worried that they would be reduced from cavalry to infantry. Suddenly, they heard that the Fu family army was willing to "lend" them some horses, and they were overjoyed!
They couldn't help but recall the joy and courage they had felt when they followed Fu Chenan in the charge, and their favorable impression of Fu Chenan was refreshed again.
This butcher is not only skilled in martial arts, but also very generous!
Warhorse! He actually lent it to me just like that!
Before their excitement had worn off, Zhu Shaozhong arrived with another 30,000 soldiers from the camp outside the capital.
Fu Chenan is very generous and humble.
"General Zhu has been in charge of the camp outside the capital for many years. I think he is much more capable than me. How about asking General Zhu to lead the battle today?"
Zhu Shaozhong said proudly: "This general is naturally not weak. The Tatar cavalry can only deploy a formation of 3,000 people at most. If this general goes out, he will definitely kill them three times in and three times out!"
Then Zhu Shaozhong faced a large Tatar army that had lost 10,000 cavalry.
Zhu Shaozhong was right. The Tatar cavalry could only deploy a formation of 3,000 people at a time, but the army in the camp outside the capital could only deploy 5,000 people at a time!
Five thousand weaklings who had never fought in a battlefield faced three thousand elite soldiers full of anger...
After Zhu Shaozhong killed several Tatar cavalrymen with all his might, he suddenly found that there was no guard beside him... they were all killed.
He looked up and around, and was horrified to find that he was surrounded!
Fear and regret surged up in my heart: Why did I feel that the Tatar cavalry was so weak? !
I am surrounded by food!
The Tatar cavalrymen raised their scimitars with a fierce smile...
Zhu Shaozhong was killed in the battle, and nearly half of the 30,000 soldiers in the camp outside the capital were killed.
When the battle report was delivered to the emperor, he fainted without saying a word.
At this time, two hours had passed since Zhu Shaozhong died in battle.
At this time, Fu Chenan, leading the remaining soldiers of the Beijing Suburban Camp, penetrated into the position of the Tatar cavalry like a sharp knife...
The soldiers in the suburban camp who were running around in panic in the previous battle now seemed to be energized. Looking at Fu Chenan who was waving a long sword in front of them, they looked like a killing god descending to the earth!
And under the leadership of the God of Death, they seemed to possess infinite power.
