The news that the Yan army continued to plunder in the area south of Jinan was spread to Chen Zhuixing like snowflakes. At the same time, the court was shocked and worried that the Yan King's army would threaten the military advisor, so he ordered Sheng Yong to send troops to siege and intercept the military.

Under this situation, Chen Zhuxing decided to use his plan, change his original style of play, contact Ping An, who was far away in Dingzhou, and prepare to have a major battle with Zhu Di.

He left half of the troops to defend Dezhou and led the other half to Jinan to meet Tiexuan.

In Jinan Chengfuya, Chen Zhuxing and Tie Xuan met again.

The two brothers were very happy to meet each other, and after a simple reminiscing, they went straight to the point.

Tie Xuan first said: "Zhu Di's technique this time is extremely clever, which is different from his previous playing style. It looks risky, but it is actually very cruel. All our previous Northern Expedition deployment plans were disrupted by him. Now the other party takes the initiative and we are led away. It must be a master's guidance!"

Chen Zhuxing smiled slightly: "Only Lan Yue can think of this kind of plan, but it is indeed effective."

"Is there any way to crack it?"

"Please use the trick!" Chen Zhuixing decisively said four words.

Tie Xuan looked at Chen Zhuixing's eyes seriously and concluded: "I think you are already confident, right?"

"Those who know me are iron and iron!"

"Tell me your plan."

Chen Zhuixing pretended to be modest and said, "Scholar, if you have any good plans, please come up with me first, so as not to make a fool of myself."

"I don't know you yet. If you didn't have a plan, you wouldn't have come to Jinan in person. What you said should have told Ping'an. Now you are taking up the airs. Do you want me to flatter you, the marshal, and you are willing to say it?"

"Look at you, it's rare to meet you, and you're still taking it seriously. OK, I'll continue to talk about my plan."

"Actually, my plan is very simple. It is the plan I just said, "to follow the other party's plan and follow the other party's plan."

"Oh, what plan does the other party have? Are you so sure?"

Chen Zhuixing smiled slightly: "Others don't understand Lan Yue, don't I understand him yet? Perhaps, I am the person who lives in this world who knows him the most."

"If it were the combat plan formulated by Zhu Di, it would definitely be steady and steady, from north to south, one city after another, approaching the capital step by step. But the blue moon is different,"

"…He is good at playing long distances, raising war with war. At the same time, he uses his strengths to overcome the enemy's shortcomings."

"...Our strength lies in defending the city, so as long as we can defend a city like Jinan in Dezhou, it will be difficult for Zhu Di's combat plan to be implemented. Therefore, Lan Yue made bold improvements, went deep into the ground, and forced us to walk down the high walls and fight the other side to the death on the flat ground."

"If we are defeated and the court has no available troops, the Yan army can directly attack the capital."

After hearing Chen Zhuxing's analysis, Tie Xuan took a breath: "This plan is indeed vicious and looks very bold. If you think about it carefully, it is really feasible. Can we beat the Yan army when fighting on the plains? Now there is no advantage in number. If it really fails, the enemy will approach the capital, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Bang"! Chen Zhuxing took a photo of the case, stood up and said, "So, this battle is only allowed to win but not lose!" There was a firm confidence in his words.

"Brother, it's not a martial arts duel. With your martial arts, you can certainly be the dominant world, but this is a battlefield for thousands of troops... Are you... really sure to win?"

Chen Zhuixing smiled: "You see, you can't believe me. You think that if you fight on the plain, you will definitely lose to Zhu Di, so Zhu Di will have such a thought. In this way, he will be a taboo of underestimating the enemy!"

"I have basically understood his style of playing on the battlefield. As long as we are well prepared, we will win this battle!"

Chen Zhuxing’s strong confidence also infected Tie Hyun, “Okay, you can just give me any instructions if you need to prepare.”

Chen Zhuixing nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I have to come to Jinan in person. I want..."

...

At the same time, the Guantao and Yan army's central tent.

Zhu Di and Lan Yue are discussing secretly.

"Yixian, your plan really works. Sheng Yong couldn't sit still. He left Texas and chased after him with his troops."

"It's not okay if he doesn't come. We're here to make a fuss, not far from the capital, and Zhu Yunwen doesn't agree."

"I really want to teach Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan a lesson on the plains so that they can know how powerful I am. Yixian, have you ever thought about the place to fight with them?"

"Dongchang."

"Dongchang?"

"Yes, it's Dongchang. The terrain here is open and flat, and it is most suitable for large-scale combat. There are no ditches, which is beneficial to our cavalry."

Zhu Di nodded: "This is also the place I met beforehand, but I don't know if Sheng Yong Tiexun will bring his soldiers here to fight us."

"Don't worry, your highness, they have no right to do this. The decision is in our hands. If he doesn't want to come here to fight, we will continue to come and go like the wind and stir up the earth! We can't be more than willing to fight them if there is a war!"

"Okay! Let's fight in Dongchang! As long as we defeat Sheng Yong in this battle, we will immediately advance to the capital without stopping. Now we have enough food and grass to support for three months." Zhu Di finally made the decision.

December 25, 2018, Shandong, Dongchang.

The two teams of men were facing each other across the formation, and each side had an army of nearly 100,000.

This is the coldest time of the year. There are five days left to New Year's Eve and six days later, which is the time for family reunion. However, after today and tomorrow, half of the people present will stay here forever and will no longer be able to have the New Year's Eve dinner with their families. Their flesh and blood will turn into spring mud here to support next year's flowers.

The 100,000 troops of the Southern Army reached 80,000 in total, because Ping An, who rushed from Dingzhou to help, was still on the way.

But I can't wait, and the war is about to break out.

This is a long-awaited battle between both sides.

The tall city walls like Jinan in Dezhou gave Zhu Di a headache. The Yan army came and went like the wind, and using war to support war also made Chen Zhuxing depressed.

Both sides chose Dongchang, which is the best place for hundreds of thousands of people to kill each other.

On the first day before the war, that is, yesterday, Chen Zhuxing and Tie Xuan made sufficient pre-war mobilization.

Chen Zhuixing killed cows and sheep, and entertained the soldiers. He also said to everyone passionately: "This place is Dongchang, and further back is the territory of Yingtian Prefecture. Half of everyone here comes from Yingtian Prefecture. Our family, our wives and children are all there. Just imagine, if these wolf-like Yan troops attacked Yingtian Prefecture, what would they do to our family?"

"At the beginning of last month, Zhu Di attacked Cangzhou with his men and beheaded 10,000 on the spot. Later, 30,000 soldiers surrendered. But how did Zhu Di treat these 30,000 surrendered soldiers? He asked these surrendered soldiers to dig a huge pit by themselves, then drove these people into the pit, filled them with soil, and buried them alive! In Dong'e, Jining, Guantao, the atrocities were staged again..."

"Behind are our family, and ahead are cruel jackals. If you take a step back, you will be free from death! What should we do?..."

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to death!...Fight to death!...Fight to death!..."

The battle is about to begin, and Zhu Di made a general mobilization on the spot.

"Dear soldiers, you follow me to fight in the east and west, between the grassland and the desert, and have never been defeated yet." Speaking of this, Zhu Di pointed to the camp in the south with a horse whip. "Today I will take you personally and rush forward, defeat the enemy in front of us again, and then conquer the capital without stopping. By then, I will enjoy the lanterns, eat Lantern Festival in the capital, spend the festival together, and make achievements, only today!"

...

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The sound of war drums sounded, and a group of Yan army members launched the charge first, and the leader was the chief general Zhang Yu.

In the opposite camp, Shen Zhuixing looked relaxed and said to Tie Xuan beside him: "I have already figured out Zhu Di's fixed fighting style. I will first use cavalry to attack the flanks. When you can't stand it, concentrate your strength to attack the central army."

"Oh, what if this is the case?"

Shen Zhuixing nodded: "This is a conclusion that I came to when I asked many veterans who survived the battlefield. Every time I fought, Zhu Di was unable to strike, but it always worked, and it was a secret that was consistent with the truth."

"Then guess, is he the first to attack the left or right wing this time?" Tie Hyun asked curiously.

"Left Wing!" Shen Zhuixing smiled and said, "I'll bet a tael of silver with you..."

"Are you so sure? One or two silvers is not a small amount!"

Shen Zhuixing laughed: "It seems that Sister Xiujing is very strict with you..."

While the two were chatting and laughing, the cavalry led by Zhang Yu had already arrived in front of the Southern Army. The leader Zhang Yu plucked the horse's head and led his troops to rush towards the left wing of the Southern Army.

The two sides were getting closer and closer. Seeing that there were still twenty or thirty feet away, Zhang Zaoqi, the commander of the left wing, gave the order, and the sergeants standing in the first row suddenly took a step back, revealing the sergeants in the second row.

Surprisingly, these second row soldiers were holding not the common swords, guns, swords, halberds and shields, but wide shields about one person high.

Apart from being wide and thick, these shields are obviously not suitable for movement, but they are as stable as Mount Tai for defense. Especially a long wooden thorn is designed under the shield. The soldiers pierced the wooden thorns of the shield into the soil, and then held them with a special handle from the back. The rows of giant shields formed a temporary city wall.

This city wall is indestructible. In addition to being able to block the opponent's weapons and arrows, you can block the impact of the opponent's cavalry and horses. In addition, the huge spears three meters long grown from the gap in the shield, the war horses will rush up like they will die and will be nailed to these spears.

During Zhang Yu's combat career, it is common to attack the opponent's shield camp.

Although the opponent protected himself with the shield in his hand, he was still powerless in the face of the iron hooves of the war horse. After a few impacts, a hole would be torn open. After that, the cavalry would give full play to their huge advantages and cut the opponent's infantry under the horse.

But today's situation is different.
