Chapter 909
In the northeast direction of the Mingwei Fort battlefield, they saw the cavalry of the Ottoman Empire galloping towards their main formation.

One ride, two rides, three rides...

More and more, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Koprulu was naturally reminded by his subordinates, and after turning his head to look at it, he immediately frowned.He couldn't figure it out, what's going on?

Needless to say, those cavalry pawns coming here should be the army he sent to plunder the north.Judging by their appearance, they didn't come back to report, but fled back.How can this be!

Logically speaking, he sent 2 troops, while the Ming army only had [-] horses at most. The Ming army was so powerful, how could they defeat an army far larger than them so quickly?
Seriously, Koprulu didn't believe it.However, more and more cavalry pawns are desperately running towards this side. All these signs show that they are just defeated!
This situation eventually became the most attention-grabbing thing on the battlefield of Fort Mingwy.Even the two sides that were fighting were temporarily separated from each other, and then looked to the northeast, not understanding what new situation had arisen.

As the saying goes, stand tall and see far.

Hong Chengchou was on the top of Mingwei Fort, staring at the northeast with binoculars. He was the first to see the figures of Ming army soldiers in red shirts behind the defeated Ottoman soldiers.

There is no doubt that the Ming army has won and is chasing and killing the enemy.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou was also a little surprised at this time. The intercepting army he sent should not have such a high combat power!
Although he couldn't figure it out, it was obvious in front of his eyes that the Ming army was chasing and killing the enemy, and he couldn't be wrong.So, he immediately issued an order to clarify this point.

The soldiers of the Ming army at Fort Mingwei immediately cheered when they heard this, and their morale rose a lot.

Shouts of "Da Ming Wan Sheng" rang out one after another.

But then, more doubts emerged.

In such a short period of time, the Ming army in Fort Mingwei and the Ottoman army can see more and more chasing the Ming army, and it feels endless.

Although the number of people exceeds ten thousand, it is endless.But there is still a big difference between the [-] cavalry and the [-] cavalry.When the densely packed Daming cavalry was seen, everyone was dumbfounded: Then there are so many Ming cavalry?
Some people quickly wondered whether the Ming army, which they had been looking forward to for a long time, had arrived. Before they had any doubts about this, the imperial flag representing Emperor Chongzhen appeared.

The Ottoman army didn't recognize it at once, but Hong Chengchou knew it.He also sees clearly through a telescope before anyone else.

Suddenly, even though Hong Chengchou was an old guy, he immediately became excited.He even refused to put down the binoculars, stared at the imperial flag, and said loudly: "The emperor... the emperor has arrived! The emperor led the army to kill..."

After being reminded, more and more soldiers of the Ming army also confirmed it.An iron-clad fact has been confirmed again: as soon as the emperor arrives, the enemy will piss off!

Immediately, the Ming army at Fort Mingwei burst into cheers: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

At the beginning, this voice was still one after another, but soon, all the soldiers of the Ming army shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"

Contrary to the Ming army, the morale of the Ottoman army plummeted.With the shouts of the soldiers of the Ming army, their morale fell to the bottom.

Koprulu was a little dumbfounded!He never expected that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would actually lead the army here.Not only that, but luckily, when the two armies were fighting, he drove the defeated army over. This was a double blow to his army.

In a hurry, Ke Pululu didn't even have time to think about it, and immediately issued an order to shrink the army and withdraw the part of the army that was fighting the Ming army.In addition, gather elites, prepare to block the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, and guide the defeated soldiers not to attack the main formation.

His military order is theoretically feasible.However, this is only in theory.

The ups and downs of the Ottoman army had already panicked at this time.Thinking about the legend about the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, looking at the endless and continuous attack of the Ming cavalry army, listening to the panicked shouts of those defeated soldiers, how many soldiers can strictly implement Koprulu's order? Military order?
Hong Chengchou is also a qualified commander with vision. When he saw the movement of the reinforcements, he immediately understood what the emperor was planning.So, he also stud here.At one command, all the troops were sent out by him to attack the enemy before them.

"Kill..."

"Da Ming Wan Sheng..."

"Long live my emperor..."

The shouts of the soldiers of the Ming army, even the rumble of iron hoofs, could not cover it up, and they hit the heart of the Ottoman army directly.

Under the pincer attack of the two Ming armies, the servants in the Ottoman army couldn't bear it at first, and followed the defeated soldiers who had fled back, and fled to the rear.

This is the most taboo thing on the battlefield. Once someone retreats, it will immediately shake the morale of the army and cause the entire army to collapse.

For this situation, it must be stopped at the first time.

However, the elite troops in Koprulu's hands were almost all up, even if he sent the rest of the elite troops to prevent the army from breaking up, it would be too late.Whoever makes his army too large will take a lot of time in the past.

Just like that, more and more Ottoman troops began to flee.In the end, it was like a dam bursting, and it fell down, affecting the other troops of the Ottoman Empire, and they all fled back.

Seeing all this, Koprulu froze there, motionless.

His personal guard, looking at their prime minister visibly with the naked eye, was extremely depressed, as if his blood had been sucked dry by something.

The energetic prime minister turned into a listless old man, and then turned into a haggard dying old man.

These personal guards understood that the defeat of this battle meant that the Eastern Expedition had failed.This hit their prime minister too hard to become like this.

However, this is not the time for consolation, they all anxiously woke up.

"My lord, retreat quickly, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

"Yeah, run away, the empire cannot exist without your lord!"

"..."

Hearing their noise, Koprulu came back to his senses, and couldn't help showing a sad smile: How could an old man who was very old and half buried in the earth escape the pursuit of the Ming army!

Besides, what if you escaped back?The army was thrown here, the main force was destroyed, and the other armies could not withstand the Ming army's counterattack at all.On the other side of the country, hearing the news of the defeat, there must be chaos.

Above the court, those forces suppressed by him will definitely counterattack, and the fate of fleeing back will definitely not be better than here!

Thinking of this, Koprulu pulled out the decorative dagger at his waist and wanted to commit suicide.

But, of course, his personal guards would not let him go, and quickly grabbed his dagger.No matter how much he protested, the horse that drove him started to run too far.

Even if he was a man when he was young, the years are like a butcher's knife, and Koprulu has almost been killed.After being bumped by a fast horse, he couldn't sit still at all, and he was about to go crazy.

Of course, his personal guards were all elites with extraordinary skills. Seeing this, the commander of the personal guards immediately jumped on his horse, hugged Koprulu from behind, and led him to escape on horseback.

The location of the Chinese army is naturally at the rear.This time they escaped, of course they ran faster than the others.

Omomon sent Koprulu to each other, and fled for twenty miles in one breath. Feeling a little safer, he stopped to catch his breath.

"My lord, would you like to dismount for a while?"

Following the questioning, the commander of the personal guards sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly dismounted with Koprulu in his arms to check the situation.

"Ah" screamed, and the guard commander was dumbfounded.

The other guards looked around and were shocked to find that their prime minister, Koprulu, had died of epilepsy on horseback.Judging from his expression, he seemed to be the kind who died more painfully.

At this time, they finally realized that their prime minister's physical condition could not withstand the toss of a fast horse at all. It must have been very uncomfortable before and wanted to get off the horse.But everyone is running for their lives, the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and the shouts of the Ming army, who cares about this.So, the Prime Minister is in a tragedy...

These personal guards look at me, I look at you, all of them are panicked, don't know what to do?
At this moment, the shouts of the Ming army behind them became more and more clear, and more defeated soldiers fled to the south past them.

I don't know who it is, suddenly yelled, didn't care about anything, and immediately got on the horse and ran for his life.

When the other guards saw him, they ignored him and immediately fled south.If you move slowly, you will become a target for others to attract the Ming army.

When the commander of the personal guards saw it, he looked at his companions who were fleeing south, and then looked at the Ming cavalry pursuing them from the north. He shouted "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", and finally knelt down beside Koprulu's body and surrendered.

The main force on the North Road of the Ottoman Empire, among the more than [-] troops, the largest army is the infantry, and it is impossible for them to escape no matter how hard they escape.

During the pursuit of the Ming cavalry, they easily harvested their heads at first, but later, these Ottoman soldiers came to their senses and knelt down and begged for mercy.

When it was almost evening and the Daming cavalry stopped their pursuit, the land was full of cheers from the Ming soldiers.

The preliminary statistical results were soon reported to Emperor Chongzhen who had arrived here at Mingwei Fort: In this battle, more than 3000 enemies were killed, and more than 11 enemies were captured.

On the side of the Ming army, if not counting the previous battles, but just counting today's battles, there were only more than 1000 casualties.It can be said that this is a complete victory!
When Racine, Penchuk and others came to see Emperor Chongzhen for the first time, they shouted "Long live my emperor" more devoutly than anyone else!
