Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows slightly." Let him come over."”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the surrounding soldiers immediately made way for him.
A middle-aged man dressed in military attire quickly walked towards Zhu Qi Town.
This person was the general of Datong, Chen Wenrong.
"I, Chen Wenrong, pay my respects to the emperor!”
Upon seeing Zhu Qizhen, Chen Wenrong immediately knelt on one knee and cupped his fists respectfully at Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said," General Chen, please rise. Mother has always said that you are a loyal official. Now that I am facing a crisis, you are the first local general to rush over to help. Mother's words are indeed correct.”
"Thank you, Emperor!"
When Chen Wenrong heard this, he thanked Zhu Qizhen and stood up.
"General Chen, how many men have you brought with you?”
At this moment, Minister of War Kuang Ye asked Chen Wenrong.
Chen Wenrong said," I heard that the Emperor is in a critical situation. I can't wait for the infantry, so I can only take a step forward. That's why I only brought 2,000 personal cavalry."”
When everyone heard Chen Wenrong's words, their faces revealed disappointment.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time." General Fan Zhong immediately led a hundred thousand troops to attack Huailai City. General Chen Wenrong and I will lead seven thousand cavalrymen and the rest of the infantry to stop Wala Yexian's cavalrymen. "In addition, all the beloved ministers will move together with General Fan Zhong.”
"I will obey!"
Hearing this, Fan Zhong no longer hesitated. He bowed to Zhu Qizhen and clasped his hands respectfully.
Because Fan Zhong knew that if he spoke any more at this time, it would only be a waste of time.
Moreover, with Chen Wenrong by Zhu Qizhen's side, Fan Zhong was also a little more at ease.
Fan Zhong only wanted to take down Huailai City as soon as possible.
In that case, he could invite Zhu Qizhen into Huailai City and avoid the sharp edge of Ye Xian's cavalry.
"We obey your orders!"
The other ministers also wisely chose to obey.
After all, Zhu Qizhen had already given a death order.
In addition, they also had similar thoughts as Fan Zhong. They felt that Chen Wenrong being by Zhu Qizhen's side was much safer than Zhu Qizhen leading the army alone.
Fan Zhong and the others bowed to Zhu Qizhen and left, preparing to take action.
Chen Wenrong looked at Zhu Qizhen in confusion." Emperor, this is…"
" Next," Zhu Qizhen said," I will lead 50,000 troops with you, including 7,000 cavalrymen, to stop the Wala Cavalrymen. Fan Zhong and the others will take back Huailai City.”
"Your Majesty, why don't you go with General Fan and the others to attack the Wala soldiers in Huailai City? Leave the task of stopping Yexian to me!"”
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said indifferently,""There's no need to say anything else. Go and prepare the army immediately!”
"This…I will obey!"
Chen Wenrong saw Zhu Qizhen's unquestionable attitude and could only helplessly agree. He secretly decided in his heart that even if he had to give up his life, he must protect the Emperor's safety.
After Fan Zhong and Chen Wenrong left, Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhao Gao and said,""How's the progress of the spy that I asked you to investigate?”
Hearing this, Zhao Gao's expression changed slightly and he quickly said,""Your Majesty, please forgive me. When I sent people to investigate the spy, I also found out about the abnormality in Huailai City. Because time is tight, I can only concentrate my forces to investigate the situation in Huailai City first.”
When Zhu Qizhen heard Zhao Gao's words, he frowned for a moment before slowly relaxing," Forget it, it's not your fault this time. Time is indeed a little too tight.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Zhao Gao hurriedly thanked him respectfully.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a moment and said," How about this? You immediately go and capture the Imperial Horse Bureau's young supervisor, Bo 'ergan, and the two interpreter. They should be called Ma Qing and Ma Yun." At this critical moment, he could not care less about evidence. If anyone asks, just say that this is my decree. When the war is over, I will explain it to them.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao quickly replied respectfully. He then bowed to Zhu Qizhen and slowly retreated.
Very quickly, Fan Zhong, Kuang Ye and the rest led the 100,000 strong army and continued towards Huailai City.
The remaining 80,000 troops were temporarily under the command of Zhu Qizhen and Chen Wenrong.
Zhu Qizhen was under the protection of Xuan Jian and the Startling Salamander. He sat quietly on the horse's back and waited for the arrival of the Wala Cavalry.
Not far from Zhu Qizhen, Chen Wenrong was also riding a warhorse, his face solemn.
Behind them, Yuan Bin led dozens of Embroidered Uniform Guards and stood on horseback.
After that, there were 80,000 soldiers!
Glancing at the weak Great Ming army behind him, Zhu Qizhen could not help but shake his head slightly.
In the past few days, the army's supplies had not been able to keep up in time, and the water source had been blocked by the Wala army. It would be good if the Ming soldiers could maintain 30% of their peak fighting strength.
Although Zhu Qizhen had already obtained a year's worth of rations and supplies for the 500,000 strong army, he had no intention of taking them out for the Great Ming soldiers to use.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were able to continue holding on because of the breath in their chests.
If he asked everyone to stop and rest now, they would start cooking.
Then, the last breath of the army would be completely exhausted.
By the time the 50,000 Wala Cavalry arrived, they would not even have the slightest chance to resist!
"Emperor, don't worry! As long as I, Chen Wenrong, am still breathing, I will never let you suffer any harm!”
When Chen Wenrong saw Zhu Qizhen shake his head, he thought that Zhu Qizhen was afraid, so he promised Zhu Qizhen.
"Rumble!"
Just as Zhu Qizhen was about to say something, a series of earth-shaking sounds suddenly came from ahead!
"The Wala Cavalry is here! Soldiers, follow me and get ready for battle!”
Hearing that voice, Chen Wenrong's expression immediately turned solemn. He raised the long saber in his hand and shouted loudly!
