Chapter 214: It’s Good to Run Away
No matter how you look at it now, the Fang family army is being attacked from both sides, and it seems that they are ready to fight to the death.
The Fang family army's combat effectiveness is terrifying, even though they are at an absolute disadvantage, they only have more than 20,000 soldiers.
It was still a forced resistance, and the north and the south resisted together, divided into two camps.
It is really difficult to take down this tough nut of more than 20,000 in a short time.
But no matter how you look at it, the Fang family army seems to be determined to fight to the end.
Ning Yi sneered: "It is impossible and unwilling for him to die here. Just wait and see."
"This time, not only will this prince capture the traitor Fang Chengyu, but he will also not let these Fang family soldiers go, because they are all good soldiers."
The soldiers in the Fang family army are all elite. They have been fed with money by Fang Chengyu and have been trained for a long time to form a powerful army.
If Ning Yi could gather all the remnants of the Fang family army, his strength would be raised to a higher level.
After all, his current strength is only three fully-equipped infantry armies, and only the first army has formed real combat effectiveness, but it lacks the blood and blood to fight to the death.
The Second Army had much shorter training time and weaker combat effectiveness.
As for the Third Army, most of them are soldiers left behind by the Fourth Prince. They have been trained for less than two months. If they want to form an effective combat force, they need to wait for a long time.
As for the two guards of the Beijing camp, although they were also his troops, they were also led by his servants.
However, in order to avoid being discovered by the imperial court, they still used the weapons that were once used by the Dawu Kingdom and did not dare to use firearms indiscriminately.
Moreover, the training time is relatively short, and it is difficult to improve combat effectiveness.
As for the cavalry, only the first army has been formed and is undergoing accelerated training, but it will take at least a year or two to become as powerful as the Fang family army's cavalry.
But everyone can see the strength of the Fang family army.
Even the powerful First Army Imperial Guards were in a close fight. Feng Zhong, who had always been quite unwilling to accept the result, had to admit that he did not dare to fight to the death with the large number of Fang's army.
The Fang family army is composed of truly powerful veterans. Once they are gathered together and trained well, Ning Yi feels that it will be enough for him to have at least tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
It would be such a pity if all these soldiers died in battle.
Rather than letting these losers in the court take it away in exchange for credit.
It would be better to find a way to get them to the encirclement in the west, so that they can all be gathered in at once.
Ning Yi had long been planning to take over the Fang family army. Once he took down the Fang family army, he could almost seize Hushan Pass in the future.
That would be tampering right under the old emperor's nose, and it would be easy to cause problems.
Once the old emperor finds out, he will never let Ning Yi go.
But the benefits are huge, as Hushan Pass is too close to the capital.
Hushan Pass is large enough to station 100,000 elite troops. As long as we take it, there will be changes in the capital.
One hundred thousand elite troops will immediately rush south to support the capital. In addition to the troops stockpiled in the capital and nearby prefectures with the assistance of the Dongfang family, more than 200,000 will not be a problem.
The entire capital city will be completely under his control.
In particular, these more than 200,000 troops are all controlled by his own servants, and they are the elite among the elite.
By then, even if 400,000 people come, we will be able to deal with them. What's more, we have our own firearms that are constantly being produced and developed. Why worry about not being able to compete?
The more Ning Yi looked at the Fang family army, the more envious he became.
Naturally, he didn't want the food from the Beijing Camp and the City Defense Army to continue being consumed.
The Fang family army now has less than 20,000 soldiers, and they are still wounded and panting.
I could only reluctantly drink some wild vegetable porridge.
However, the officers and soldiers from the north and south had already retreated several miles, staring at the Fang family army with a covetous look.
Everyone thought that the Fang family army was a piece of fat meat and they had to bite them to death.
But there were sudden changes in Fang's army.
Nearly five thousand soldiers were selected, and there were quite a few wounded among them.
Then they formed a tight formation and stood directly on the western official road.
There were even a lot of soldiers digging trenches on both sides of the official road.
Seeing Fang's army doing this, the officers and soldiers didn't care at all. It was just the struggle of a trapped beast. Did they think they could stop the attack of the Beijing camp in this way?
Anyway, the Fang family army has nothing to eat. I don’t believe that this group of elite soldiers can be so powerful even if they are hungry.
Only Ning Yi kept a close eye on the movements of the Fang family army. It seemed that the Fang family army was really about to run away.
Sure enough, after the nearly 5,000 Fang family soldiers on both sides of the official road and on the official road had stabilized their positions.
Suddenly, more than 2,000 cavalrymen of the Fang family army turned their horses around and ran westward.
Not only them, but many of the more than 10,000 Fang family soldiers behind them also abandoned their baggage and even their armor. They went into battle lightly, carrying only ordinary weapons and running westward.
This shocked the Beijing troops who had come to watch.
Immediately, a group of commanders from the Beijing Camp came running over and said, "Your Highness, the Fang army is trying to escape. We must chase them."
Ning Yi acted as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "Since the Fang family army wants to escape, we must chase them."
"But first, kill these snipers in front."
But Feng Zhong was anxious: "Your Highness, we cannot let this traitor Fang Chengyu go. His Majesty has specifically ordered that he be dealt with."
Feng Zhong was still determined to catch the traitor Fang Chengyu.
After all, being able to catch this guy was definitely Gao Da's achievement.
Ning Yi glanced at him and said, "With these 5,000 blocking troops, how can we catch up? Besides, the Fang family army has even lost their armor. How can we catch up?"
Feng Zhong had already thought about this: "Your Highness, you can send cavalry to pursue them."
cavalry?
Ning Yi looked at the 3,000 cavalrymen who were ready to pursue him and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the Fang family army will ambush you and lose your father's only 3,000 imperial guards?"
Feng Zhong really didn't dare to do this, after all, the Fang family army's combat effectiveness was not weak.
Ning Yi smiled again and said, "Don't worry, that old thief Fang Chengyu won't get away. You should deal with these 5,000 remaining soldiers as soon as possible."
Feng Zhong was surprised. He didn't know why His Highness was so confident. The Fang family army had already run far away. Even if you killed these 5,000 soldiers, how could you catch up?
But this time, Ning Yi led the troops to quell the rebellion. Although he hesitated along the way, he used all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.
However, it must be said that the Sixth Prince was indeed very capable and he almost wiped out the arrogant Fang family army.
That’s not all, my own losses were surprisingly quite small.
Otherwise, if they really fought against the Fang family army with nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, no matter how many soldiers they had, they would not be able to defeat them.
Feng Zhong also began to admire the Sixth Prince. He bowed and immediately ordered his troops to attack quickly to get rid of the 5,000 remaining soldiers blocking the road as soon as possible.
We can’t let that old thief Fang Chengyu really get away.
This time, since there were only 5,000 soldiers left in the Fang family army, both the Beijing camp and the city defense army, after eating and drinking their fill, rushed over roaring and launched a crazy attack.
However, the last troops of the Fang family army relied on trenches dug everywhere to hold out for a long time and try their best to delay.
