Bright Spring

Two days later, the army camped on the spot.

The king of Yan summoned all the generals to the central army to discuss matters. At this time, the army was close to the Hutuo River.Zhu Gaoxu rode all the way to the Chinese army, and guessed that there was going to be another battle!

Zhu Gaoxu was full of worries, and thought: This time we are fighting Geng Bingwen, a veteran left by the Taizu. I am afraid it will be a tough battle. If the performance is not good, and he cheated his father at the critical moment, what should we do?

He has grown muscles, but at this moment he feels that he is not suitable to be a general at all, and he doesn't like this job very much.

As expected, he went to the camp of the Chinese army.King Yan immediately began to deploy the battle!

The King of Yan pointed to the side with his big hand, and said: "Most of Geng Bingwen has crossed the Hutuo River, and those who have crossed the river are forming a large formation on the north bank..."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately worshiped his father very much, he was really counted! ?

The King of Yan said again: "My Yan army will not attack a large formation. Instead, I will ride the vanguard and suddenly cross the Hutuo River from the pontoon bridge in the morning. It is bound to break the formation! When the North Shore officers and troops come back to help and the camp is shaken, I will lead the army to take the opportunity to attack and defeat Geng Bingwen in one battle!"

All the generals bowed down: "King Yan is wise and mighty!"

King Yan turned his head to see Zhu Gaoxu, and said, "Gaoxu, you and Zhang Yu are the bravest. I have arranged for people to build a bridge overnight, and tomorrow morning Gaoxu will cross the river with Zhang Yu as a vanguard."

Zhu Gaoxu bit the bullet, and together with Zhang Yu held the army salute: "Your minister (the last general) has orders!"

The King of Yan said again: "After Gao Xu and Zhang Yu arrived at Zhending, they circled their backs, Gao Xu attacked the west side, and Zhang Yu attacked the east side. They must shake their formation and force the north bank to come to help!"

"Order!"

After Zhu Gaoxu received the military order and returned to the left guard camp, he waited until late at night to summon the generals with more than a thousand deputy households to deliver the military order.In case the military plane leaks secrets, otherwise the unlucky one will still be the striker.

After the generals left, Zhu Gaoxu found Liu Ying who was captured again, and talked with him at night by candlelight.After asking Liu Ying how the army was organized and what its characteristics were, Zhu Gaoxu even took a pen to take notes after asking all kinds of questions.

For a moment, he seemed to be back before the exams in his previous life, because he didn't know anything if he was not serious, so he could only cram his feet and stay up all night to take notes.

But it's different now, Zhu Gaoxu feels that he is serious, and still has no idea... What, how will Zhang Wu, a thousand households, criticize him tomorrow?

Chapter 42 Only Fast Can't Break

It must be a big city.Zhu Gaoxu looked to the south from the army, and the vast plain stretched as far as the eye can see, and the eye-catching towers and walls were even more eye-catching.He didn't know the exact size of the city, but the circumference of the city was at least twenty miles!

The city walls are all earth walls, but Zhu Gaoxu knows that this kind of rammed earth wall has a trapezoidal cut surface, and the difference between thickness and height is not that big. It is very solid, with a thickness of nearly ten meters, and it is almost impossible to penetrate.

Outside the city, there are black and lacquered square arrays, which look like countless containers from a distance.Flags fluttered above the phalanx, and there were tall wooden carts dotted in the middle.

Some sporadic horses were running in front of the phalanx, and the dust that was kicked up looked like fog from a distance. The old towers and walls were also gray, and the world was filled with a sense of murder.

"Woo..." The bull horn sounded in the Yan army's formation, which sounded like a huge monster whimpering.

Zhu Gaoxu's men were on the west side of the army, and when he heard the sound of the horn, he summoned all the generals to come.

At this moment, the drums in the Yan army camp were like thunder, and the cavalry in the middle had rushed forward in a column.

"Boom boom boom..." The sky sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look, he saw white smoke billowing from the wall of the earthen city and in front of the enemy phalanx.The cavalry column of the Yan Army began to spread out from the east and west sides. After a while, the distance became lively, and the crackling of firecrackers, bows and arrows, and the sound of shouting and killing echoed in the wind.

Zhu Gaoxu looked around for a while, then looked around, saw that everyone was here, and said, "What are we going to do, I said it last night. After a while, I will lead the Quanyong team and a thousand cavalry to the front .

Zhang Wu's Qianzong Zuoying looked at the position of the red flag, and followed closely to open the gap.

The right battalion is not ready for the battle.If the front is critical, thousands of households in the right battalion can judge the urgency by themselves, or follow the military order to respond.

If our red flag stops advancing, the Zuoying will change direction and cover up to the north; our department will roundabout and outflank, and break the formation together with Zhang Wu's Zuoying!do you understand? "

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "Decree!"

"Password, Hubiao! Every thousand households, deputy thousand households, and generals can see the opportunity and act expediently!" Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

The iron cavalry with the red pennant flying north went first, and the Veda department followed in order, and the roar of horseshoes became louder and louder.A cavalry was like a torrent, making a large detour to the west.

The formation of the officers and soldiers is very open, but the width is always limited.Zhu Gaoxu led the crowd across the end of the official army formation from a distance, and then began to rush south.According to the military order of King Yan yesterday, he wanted to attack the flank of the formation from the west side of the official army.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a group of cavalry soldiers galloping out one after another from the officer camp, heading straight for this side!

The enemy used cavalry to cover the infantry camp. Zhu Gaoxu was mentally prepared for this last night.As the captive Liu Ying said, this kind of situation may happen, it depends on where the opposing general puts the cavalry.Seeing the coming momentum, Zhu Gaoxu shook the reins, kicked with his right leg, pointed to the east with his arm and shouted: "Wang Bin, turn left, follow me!"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and shouted again: "Send orders to the left and right of the Thousand General Battalion, Zhang Wu is on the left, keep up with the left and right, and cover my flanks and rear wings!"

"Order!"

So Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry and immediately charged the enemy's cavalry head-on. He raised the cherry spear in his hand high and shouted: "Like spears, ready to kill!" Gradually enter the charge state.

The dry soil among the withered grass was trampled violently by iron hooves, and the dust flew up, as if people and horses were stepping on clouds.In the battle formation, the visibility is getting lower and lower.

"Bang bang bang..." There were strings in the wind.The distance between the forwards of the two armies is only [-] steps!With Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, he had already seen the movement of the enemy cavalry in the dust lying on their horses and drawing their bows.

"Oops!" There was a sudden cry of pain from the left, and Yan Jun fell off his horse, followed by a hissing and lung-piercing howl, as if he had been kicked by the horse behind him.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't turn his head, but stared round his eyes, and rushed straight away.

The cavalry approached at the speed of a charge, and within a few seconds at most of twenty steps, an official cavalryman wearing a wide-brimmed hat directly in front of Zhu Gaoxu threw his bow and drew a knife on his waist.Then it doesn't work, it's too fast!They didn't seem to expect that Yan Jun didn't even save riding and shooting, and directly accelerated and rushed to the front!

"Ah!" When the screams rang in Zhu Gaoxu's ears, the tip of the spear had already pierced the enemy soldier's back!

At this speed, Zhu Gaoxu had no chance to draw his gun at all, so he let go of his hand and drew the long-handled saber from his back!With pumping and chopping, another rider was cut off and dismounted.

There were screams all around, and the sound of metal jingling, clanging, clanging and clanging sounded like iron being struck. The smell of blood quickly permeated, and the dust in the air seemed to be stained with blood, turning into a blood mist.

In the blink of an eye, Yiqi on the right raised his spear and was about to poke Zhu Gaoxu.However, the enemy soldier's muscle reaction was not as fast as Zhu Gaoxu's, and it would be fatal if he was slow.Zhu Gaoxu didn't wait for his long spear to stab out, and directly slashed the man's face with a knife.

Immediately, Zhu Gaoxu's face became hot, everything he saw in his eyes turned red, and all he could smell in his nose was a disgusting fishy smell.He didn't care about wiping his face, rushed into the formation, and chopped anyone he saw within range.That night Zhu Gaoxu had already developed his experience in riding and fighting, with his legs sandwiched between the horse's belly, he didn't stop for a moment, concentrating on hand-to-hand combat.Most of the time, there was only one knife, and Zhu Gaoxu attacked first. The speed was not very fast, but he was always a little faster than the opponent.

The soldiers and soldiers around them all risked their lives and fought bloody battles when they saw the prince rushing towards them whose future depended on them.Yan Jun's entire striker fought to the death with red eyes as if his parents had been killed.

Not long after, the enemy cavalry dodged to the sides and ran around.

"Bah!" Zhu Gaoxu spit out a mouthful of blood, wiped his face with his left hand, and his palm was full of blood.At this time, he turned his head and saw a group of green flags following up on the left, and a group of green flags on the right.My heart suddenly said: Brother, the start has been stable for a while!

Amidst the dust and mist, one could vaguely see many asses moving away, and the enemy soldiers retreated.

Zhu Gaoxu relaxed his legs, and the horse trotted forward again. A soldier was curled up on the ground, his face was full of blood and tears, and his eyes were full of horror. While crying, he was holding a section of intestines on the ground with trembling hands. Stuff the dirt on the ground into the stomach together.

Zhu Gaoxu's left eyelid twitched, he slapped the horse, swung the knife, and released him with a "crack".Blood splashed into the air and spilled all over the floor.

"My lord is simply the lord of Hades!" Wang Bin roared from behind.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't care much, and observed the enemy's infantry phalanx calmly in the fuzzy dust.The two nearby phalanxes were in chaos. They seemed to want to temporarily turn the phalanx... But it was easier said than done, and they turned into a chaotic crowd.

Chapter 43 Flying Daggers

Up and down Zhending City, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the sound of killing shook the sky.The blunderbuss and Hongwu cannon continued to roar, and the stone bullets flew into the air, but fell into the sea of ​​people like stones into the sea.

The main force of the official army is claimed to be 30, and the Yan army is claimed to be 20, but the actual number should be as many as 20! 20 people gathered together at the foot of Zhending City, not to mention that the main lethal weapon at this time only ranged from ten to dozens of steps, and the turbulent crowd was like a sea tide!
