Bright Spring

Geng Bingwen pressed the handle of the Yanling knife with his left hand, and kept walking behind the crenelation of the city wall. His two white eyebrows were already squeezed together.

He looked down and saw a mess under the city wall on the west side, a red flag rushing forward like a huge arrowhead, leading a group of iron cavalry to rush left and right as if they had entered no one's territory.The surrounding infantry had already lost their formation, and they only besieged the "red flag" from several sides with all kinds of weapons. The cavalry drove over, and all the officers and soldiers retreated;

The cavalry came from the west like a flood, causing chaos on the west side of the army formation, and the infantry running around on the plain looked like a frightened colony of ants.

Geng Bingwen went over with his wrinkled fingers and said: "Although Zhang Yu on the right wing is fierce, he is not as fierce as the son of King Yan."

At this time, a voice suddenly replied: "King Gaoyang has the reputation of being brave, he can be regarded as a fierce general, but he is still a little worse than mere mediocrity."

Geng Bingwen turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the person who spoke was Ping An.That Ping An's body is very thick and strong, although there is a layer of armor on the arms, the muscles are stretched even the armor, those two arms are thicker than the thighs of ordinary people!This man's father was named Ping Ding, and Ping Ding had a strange and unusual appearance. The Taizu was astonished and determined to adopt him as his adopted son. This Ping Ding also looked similar to his father, very tall and strong.

Geng Bingwen glanced at Ping An, and said: "If King Gaoyang engulfs the central army, and King Yan attacks from the front, the situation is critical! The left wing must be reinforced."

Ping An immediately clasped his fists and said, "The last general invites you to fight, and lead the cavalry out of the city to compete with King Gaoyang!"

Geng Bingwen pondered for a moment, and said: "Since this is the case, it is better to follow Wei Guogong's opinion, mobilize elites to besiege this person, put him to death, and cut off Yan Ni's arm!"

He said with a murderous look on his face, he raised his hand and slashed down, "Come here, order General Sheng Yong to supervise the battle to the north of King Gaoyang, gather infantry to block the Yan army, and block the way of King Gaoyang!"

"Order!"

Geng Bingwen looked at Pingan again, "Sheng Yong is an all-rounder, and he has a good command of infantry. King Gaoyang wants to break through the northern formation in a detour, but it is as difficult as climbing the sky! At this time, Pingan led his elite riders out of Zhenyuan Gate, blocking his way back! The old man came out Yong'an Gate, boost the morale of the Chinese army, and counterattack the west side. Tell Gaoyang King that it's hard to fly!"

Ping An clasped his fists and said: "The last general will take the order! But the Chinese army is strong, the old general doesn't have to work hard, just stay on the city and see how we can defeat King Gaoyang!"

Geng Bingwen nodded slightly, stroked his white beard, and said: "Yan Wang and his son came to the battle in person. At this time, the morale of the Yan army is very high. I am sixty-five this year. Why not be as brave as Yan Wang? It is enough for the city to call Wu Dinghou. "

Looking at the vast battlefield, he said solemnly: "Since the old man is under the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, how dare you not give up your life? I hope you will fight hard to kill the enemy and repay the emperor's favor!"

Ping'an stared round the tiger's eyes, clasped his fists and said, "Decree!"

... Sheng Yong was ordered to come to the battlefield, rode his horse through the formation, and issued brief military orders everywhere.He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't necessarily only talk to the generals, but when the army is shaken, he can always rush over quickly, yelling and pointing out the vital joints.

The phalanxes on the left wing have adjusted their direction one after another. The north side did not move and fought fiercely with the Yan army in the front; the phalanx at the back turned to face the city wall. Army cavalry.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu led the crowd, with the Quanyong Corps, Zuoqian General Battalion, and Youqian General Battalion as the front and rear echelons, and entered the depths of the Southern Army's formation from the west.Many phalanxes near the city wall were defeated.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the depth of the charge was about the same, so he stopped assaulting the officers and soldiers, turned around and outflanked the army; according to the tactics agreed in advance, Zhang Wu's troops would turn and attack the back and abdomen of the other phalanx at this time, attacking from both sides, in order to break through. The west side of the army!

Unexpectedly, at this time, he found that the attack was blocked. Those phalanxes and iron barrels in the north seemed to be not of the same level of combat power as those defeated just now!Zhu Gaoxu charged repeatedly, but still couldn't break through the nearby phalanx.

He led the brave team back a little, rushed through the collapsed chaotic army for a while, and then turned his head to observe.

The position of the blue flag on the west is the cavalry of Zhang Wu's department. Those green flags move back and forth, but they cannot move north!

Attack stalled!Can you still reach your goal if you persist?On the battlefield, there are thousands of troops and horses, and the smoke is unpredictable.

There was a momentary blank in Zhu Gaoxu's mind, he hadn't fully figured out the specific situation at this time... If he could have defeated the large phalanx in the north and expanded the results of the battle, he would have missed the opportunity because of the difficulty, wouldn't he be scolded miserably ?

However, the phalanx in the far north has been slowly advancing towards this side. If they cannot be defeated, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry space will be greatly compressed and become infantry on horseback!

Zhu Gaoxu was sweating profusely, and the sweat dripped to the blood on his face when he got off the horse and dripped onto the breastplate.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and soon he came up with his own point of view: as the chief general of an army, he doesn't have to form a formation, because there are always people under his command, and he can also be mediocre, as long as he doesn't go to the front... ...but the Lord will have to make a decision on the spot!Because only the general has military power.

Even if it is wrong, even if it is criticized by others, you must make a decision!Even a wrong judgment is better than no judgment at all!

"Order the entire army, the rear army will be the front army, and all will turn around and break out to the west!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted.

"Order!"

The second charge of the Quanyong team was the first to turn around, and Zhu Gaoxu led his soldiers to rush westward, and quickly passed the Quanyong team from the side.At this time, Zhang Wu's subordinates also turned west one after another in the west.

"Boom boom boom..." The cannons on the city wall rang again.The stone shells fall into the crowd, and sometimes they can still kill people, but the speed and lethality are very limited, and the actual number of people who can be killed is very small. Among thousands of troops, the main effect is to intimidate... tens of thousands In the human-scale Yan army, the probability of each person being hit is very small, but the huge cannon fire makes it easy for people to ignore the fact of probability!

Zhu Gaoxu moved closer to Zhang Wuying, but saw the green flag lingering around!The cavalry moves very fast on the battlefield, what the hell is Zhang Wu doing, does Zhang Wu still dare to fight in battle?

Zhu Gaoxu patted his horse and rushed to the range of Zuoying's activities, shouting loudly: "Why doesn't Zuoqian General Camp leave?"

A group of people jogged back from the west, and the general in the lead replied loudly: "The west is blocked by the cavalry of the officers and soldiers. The right battalion can't win, and it's useless to be killed!"

After Zhu Gaoxu listened, he greeted Wang Bin and others beside him, and led his soldiers past the position of the Zuoying troops.He patted his horse and rushed to the west, and saw countless cavalry retreating here.

It is easiest to tell from the iron helmets, the caps of the southern army are wider, so Zhu Gaoxu identified these troops as the Yan army; after a while, he saw the green flag waving among them, it was the eight hundred riders from the right battalion.

"Aren't you the elite guards of the King of Yan? Run away!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed a few words, patted his horse and recoiled, heading straight to the west.

The triangular red flag was fluttering, and a group of cavalry like wolves and tigers rushed towards Zhu Gaoxu. Amidst the smog, there were Southern Army cavalry chasing and killing them!

Zhu Gaoxu raised the newly replaced cherry gun, stabbed in the air, and shouted: "Kill!"

The two armies rode their horses closer, and Zhu Gaoxu repeated his old tricks, constantly patting the horses to accelerate, and relying on the charging speed of the horses, he was the first to win! "Da da da..." The heavy iron hoof sound was deafening.

Facing the rapid wind, he felt a little difficult to breathe, and his blood was surging rapidly.Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, raised the cherry gun, and brought it to his armpit. "Bang!" The right hand holding the gun slid forward, and he immediately let go of the palm, and stretched it smoothly to the shoulder. He had done this action many times, and he was very skilled. He was about to grab the handle of the saber!

"Shua!" With a flash of the saber, a black shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and Zhu Gaoxu slashed down with his saber. "Dang!" The violent trembling made his tiger's mouth numb, and his entire arm trembled.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly glanced at the edge of the knife, there was a big hole in it, like a tooth missing!My grass?Zhu Gaoxu turned around and glanced back.

I saw a savage man also turning his head, that guy seemed to be a lump of square iron ingot on a big horse, holding an iron shield in one hand and a heavy ax in the other, his ridiculously thick arms flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

And in an instant Zhu Gaoxu realized that he was alone?Only empty horses left on both sides followed!After a while, Wang Bin waited for several riders before yelling to kill a man and catch up, Wang Bin's eyes were red.

The fierce man who had just received the move waved left and right, and killed several people in a short while. The horse was also reined in a distance, and he turned the horse's head around with a yell.The fierce man shouted: "King Gaoyang, let's fight again!"

Zhu Gaoxu knew it was a big deal after taking one move, and thought: I wasted time fighting with you, waiting for the whole army to be surrounded?

He shouted: "Who is here?" He looked for an empty space, and wanted to fight back, so he moved away first.

The fierce man said: "Peace be with me, my late father is the adopted son of your emperor's grandfather, King Gao Yang has to call me brother!"

"My emperor raised your father and son just to let you kill his descendants?" Zhu Gaoxu patted his horse and rushed to the south, beheading the two of them without looking back.

A peaceful voice said: "Now the Holy One is the Lord of the world, that's what your grandfather Huang Zu meant!"

Judging by the sound, the fellow has not gone far away, and is catching up.

Zhu Gaoxu was charging ahead, and the horse was charging so fast that he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and looked back, so he chatted nonsense with the fellow while judging the position, and he yelled casually, "Qi and Huang, two treacherous ministers, murdered my clan!" !"

Chapter 44 Besieged

"Rumbling..." The sound of countless iron hooves stepping out has become chaotic, like continuous muffled thunder.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and headed east, just in time to meet the Youying with the green flag coming back to meet Zhu Gaoxu's troops.

At this time Zhu Gaoxu did not dare to fight.The cavalry general of the Southern Army, Ping An, was exceptionally brave, at least he would not lose to Zhu Gaoxu in a one-on-one fight!

The iron cavalry under Ping'an's command are also very elite, and they have just come up to fight, and they have enough horsepower and stamina; while Zhu Gaoxu's troops first defeated the first cavalry of the Southern Army, and then flanked countless collapsed infantry phalanxes. Huge... If you want to fight hard for peace, victory or defeat is still unpredictable, but at least the battle cannot be resolved in a short time!
