There are many things that are completely unreasonable. It is very unusual for a cautious person like Zhang Ximeng to actually go into battle personally and take the initiative to launch an offensive.
However, this also reflects another truth. In an upwardly mobile team, it is often possible for everyone to realize their potential for a long time.
This is not some kind of metaphysics, it’s just that the mind is clean and free of messy things.
In terms of military strength, Naha held 10,000 households. Regardless of the number of troops or the level of equipment, they were far superior to Zhu's army, especially since they were mainly cavalry. If they broke through decisively, Zhang Ximeng would not only be unable to do anything to them, but would even suffer heavy losses.
Therefore, although he rushed out, he was still nervous. He only allocated half of his troops to protect Li Wenzhong and charged with him.
The other half of the guard is in his hand, ready to respond to situations... including moving in the opposite direction.
But when the Zhu Jiajun launched a massive attack, Naha asked two thousand households to come closer to him to strengthen defense and protect their own safety. Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up and his confidence increased sharply.
After a while, it seemed that Naha Chu also knew his mistake. He hurriedly separated out a thousand households and killed Chang Yuchun.
But the opportunity has been missed. The troops of Liao Yongan and Liao Yongzhong have already invested, with a total of 5,000 people surrounding Nahachu!
War is like this, there are always surprises.
If Naha had decisively attacked Chang Yuchun just now, not to mention whether he could defeat Chang Yuchun, at least he would have been able to attract the five thousand households behind him, forming a pincer attack.
No matter how powerful Chang Yuchun is, he will still care about one thing and not the other. Moreover, Nahachu, who mainly uses cavalry, can leave calmly.
If it were the Mongolian cavalry in the past, most of them would take the initiative to attack. They would even be excited when they saw the enemy attack... But it is a pity that this is the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Nahachu chose to protect himself. Although he later realized his mistake and sent troops to try to defeat Chang Yuchun, it was too late.
The Liao brothers surrounded Nahachu, forming a strength advantage around him.
Chang Yuchun also completed the division. He used 500 men to block the Yuan army behind him, and led a thousand men to attack Naha Chu with all his life.
In this way, Zhu's army had a three-fold advantage in strength, and was still capable of fighting even when facing cavalry.
After all, there is never a rigid comparison of numbers on the battlefield, everyone is a living person.
Chang Yuchun has an iron spear and is invincible.
The soldiers behind him were also very ferocious, wielding sharp blades in their hands, cutting off horses' legs, and beheading people, killing with great pleasure.
Seeing this scene, the Liao brothers were also inspired and attacked bravely.
"Brothers, the time has come to repay the superior. Kill Yuan Tatar and give a gift to the superior!"
Everyone attacked desperately, using all their strength.
The cry of killing, the sound of weapons clashing, and the screams of injured people all filled the air together, filling the entire battlefield with a tragic atmosphere.
Although Zhang Ximeng rushed out, he did not really join the battle. After all, with his skills, he would probably cause trouble for his own people.
His main mission is to examine the overall situation.
There is no doubt that the Zhu Jiajun has the upper hand, but this advantage is not as great as imagined. Chang Yuchun can fight, but he only has a thousand soldiers.
The Liao brothers are also very desperate, but the armor ratio of their subordinates is less than 15%, and most of them are still leather armor, so there is no time to change their clothes.
On the other hand, Naha Chu, no matter what, he is also the Mongolian army leader with thousands of households and powerful cavalry.
After a brief period of panic, Naha continued to adjust his state and look for a breakthrough.
He broke through twice in the direction of Liao Yongan, but was blocked by Liao Yongan both times, but lost two to three hundred people, and the second time he was lucky enough to survive with the help of Chang Yuchun.
Maybe next time, Naha will be able to break out.
On the other side, the five thousand households also realized the crisis of ten thousand households and immediately launched a counterattack. Wang Bi and Ma Dadao, leading five hundred soldiers, struggled to resist, but they were also on the verge of collapse.
You were obviously following your own plan, but you still couldn't eat it smoothly in the end?
At this moment, a young man suddenly rushed out with a bloody human head in his hand and more than a hundred guards, rushing towards the five thousand households.
It's Li Wenzhong!
Zhang Ximeng was shocked, what is this guy going to do?
I saw Li Wenzhong approaching the opponent quickly. A hundred and fifty steps away, he shook his head, blood spattered, and shouted loudly.
"Naha is here to make a difference!"
"Nahachu is dead, surrender quickly!"
Li Wenzhong did not get close to the Yuan army, but kept at this distance, running and shouting... Those five thousand households were isolated by Zhu's army and were not very clear about the situation in front. When he saw someone carrying a human head, he had no time to distinguish, so he
They were frightened, the team wavered, and some even wanted to turn around and run away.
What a great Li Wenzhong!
He actually thought of such a way to make bamboo shoots!
After Zhang Ximeng understood it, he had to sigh, some people are born to be good! But this is not enough, and more needs to be added.
"We won! Our army won a great victory!"
"Long live!"
Zhang Ximeng actually shouted, and it didn't matter what he shouted. More than a hundred of his guards also shouted, and then the Liao brothers and even Chang Yuchun's soldiers also shouted.
The sky was filled with joy and the sound was loud.
Yuan Jun, who was some distance away, didn't know the situation yet, but the red thief couldn't be out of his mind, right?
Maybe Master Wanhu is really dead!
Panic began to spread, from a few fleeing to a large-scale rout, and then the organized Yuan army began to flee for their lives.
Everyone is saying that Nahachu is dead and his heads have been chopped off!
Unsuspecting people also ran away.
Half of the cavalry were so frightened that they dispersed.
The war had reached this point, and it was really time to hold a moment of silence for Naha. He was obviously still alive, but he was said to be dead. He was so angry that he almost fell off his horse.
Don't spread rumors, I will kill anyone who spreads rumors!
It's a pity that he didn't install an anti-fraud APP for his subordinates, so Li Wenzhong spread rumors almost face-to-face.
Boy, so cruel!
The five thousand cavalry were defeated, and surprisingly, the Yuan army that launched an attack on Zhang Desheng's troops was also shaken.
They had taken all the advantages and thought they could win a big victory. But when they heard that Wanhu was dead, they were frightened. The morale of the army was suddenly gone. Everyone looked around anxiously, trying to figure out what happened.
what happened?
But Zhang Desheng was overjoyed. He mustered up his last strength and roared.
"kill!"
The exhausted and scarred soldiers roared angrily.
They stepped on the corpses, with red eyes, wanting revenge on the Yuan soldiers who had killed their companions!
"kill!"
The roaring sound was earth-shattering. They moved forward step by step, while the Yuan army retreated step by step. Finally, the Yuan army could not bear it any longer, and the Yuan army of almost two and a half thousand households collapsed.
On the entire battlefield, only two thousand people from Naha were left, still struggling to support themselves.
Under Zhu Jiajun's crazy attack, nearly five hundred people from Naha's headquarters had died, and many of the others were injured.
At this moment, Chang Yuchun showed his strength again. He led the soldiers around him to move forward bravely. Even the powerful cavalry could not stop them.
Finally, Chang Yuchun's iron spear penetrated the last Yuan army in front of him... Naha's troops were divided again, and half of them immediately fell into Liao Yongan's encirclement.
Liao Yongzhong cooperated with Chang Yuchun to launch a more fierce offensive against Naha's half.
Just like this, they kept cutting and weakening... Nahachu had less than three hundred people around him... He was at the end of his rope, his men were scattered, and Zhang Xu didn't come to rescue him.
The friendly troops are in trouble and remain motionless as a mountain!
After I go out, I must kill this beast first!
Naha was furious, filled with grief and anger.
Is he destined to die?
"rush!"
He suddenly discovered that there was a weak point on Liao Yongzhong's side. There were few soldiers and it was an excellent opportunity. Naha rushed over as if risking his life.
In a hurry, several soldiers fell in front of Naha Chu, with only the last step left to escape.
Naha rushed forward desperately. Just when he was about to celebrate his victory, an elite guard of 300 people blocked his way. The leader of this group was Li Wenzhong.
Zhang Ximeng did not take any credit. If possible, he would rather not lead the army. Since Li Wenzhong has this talent, he should be given a chance to perform.
The young man led three hundred elites and collided with Nahachu.
Without any hesitation and without any hesitation, these elite Zhu Jiajun massacred the exhausted Naha troops. Yuan troops fell one after another, leaving Naha in panic and helpless.
Chang Yuchun and Liao Yongzhong also quickly gathered around, especially Liao Yongzhong, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
I almost let this big fish get away!
"kill!"
Liao Yongzhong, regardless of his own life or death, pounced on them and killed them wantonly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, there were not many people left around Nahachu. Death was imminent, and there was no chance anymore... Nahachu gritted his teeth, suddenly drew out his saber, and wanted to commit suicide.
"Grandma, it's not that easy to die!"
Chang Yuchun's eyes turned red. No less than 300 of his cronies died in this battle. Ever since he took refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang, he had never suffered such a heavy loss!
Seeing that Naha wanted to die, he threw out the shield in his hand in desperation.
Chang Yuchun was so powerful that his shield made a sound of wind and hit Naha Chu on the shoulder. He screamed in pain and fell under the horse. Chang Yuchun walked over in three steps and stepped on Na Ha Chu.
Go out and take a prisoner!
At this moment, those small encirclements also ended the fighting one after another.
Counting the results of the battle, Zhang Desheng's troops lost nearly a thousand people, Chang Yuchun and the Liao brothers also lost more than 800 people, and there were many more wounded soldiers.
As for the Yuan army, almost 2,800 people were killed, less than 200 were captured, and most of the rest fled.
This result cannot be regarded as a great victory, but considering that the infantry fought against the cavalry, and even the strength of the troops was not superior, it was already remarkable that it could reach this level.
Especially since Nahachu was captured, there is no doubt that Zhu Jiajun won a great victory!
Chang Yuchun carried Naha out, and when he got close to Zhang Ximeng, he was covered in blood and murderous. He really looked like an evil god.
"Captain, what should we do next? Please give me the command!"
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath. Being able to defeat Naha Chu was a crucial step, but it was not enough.
"Clean the battlefield immediately, repair the troops, make preparations, and march into peace!"
As soon as Chang Yuchun heard that there was a battle, he felt very excited.
This time the Yuan army was defeated, and the biggest gain was more than 2,000 war horses.
People like Chang Yuchun can finally get four legs.
The Zhu Family Army has always been like this, and Huayun's cavalry was also captured. Now it is Chang Yuchun's turn, and the first cavalry is finally born.
Everyone was happily digesting the results of the victory.
Suddenly news came that another group of troops appeared.
Zhang Ximeng was shocked. Could it be that the Yuan army was coming again?
They are exhausted at the moment, and it will be very disadvantageous if they go into battle immediately.
But soon Zhang Ximeng got the news that it was Zhu Sheng who came.
The old man came with Chizhou soldiers. There were not many people, but there were five or six thousand people.
"Zhang Qingcheng, this is the Chizhou guard, his name is Huang Xing." Zhu Sheng introduced.
The leading general immediately came over and bowed and saluted, "I have seen Zhang experience. The sinner originally studied under Mr. Fenglin. Later, when the Red Scarf Army rose, he recruited local braves to defend the land and protect himself. Later, he was appointed by Yuan Ting to guard Chizhou. But although the sinner
He became an official of the Yuan Dynasty, but he did not do anything for them. He just guarded Chizhou and waited for the Ming Dynasty day and night... Now that Mr. Fenglin has come in person, he knows the benefits, and the sinner is willing to surrender, and he hopes to take him in!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "General Huang responded to the request. This move is of great merit. The lord will definitely reward him generously."
After comforting Huang Xing, Zhang Ximeng chatted with Zhu Sheng again.
At present, the Zhu Jiajun in the south of the Yangtze River has exceeded 15,000 people. With the power of new victory, there is great hope to capture Taiping.
Once Taiping is captured, the Yuan army in Hezhou will become a lost dog. Even though there are 100,000 people, the entire army will be wiped out!
Zhu Sheng thought about it for a while. Although he had a chance to win, the old man felt that he should play it safe.
"With the river blocking us, the most difficult thing is to cooperate tacitly. If we rush to attack in a hurry, if the Zhou Yuan army returns and we are unprepared, we will definitely be defeated."
Zhu Sheng said: "What I mean is to report the victory to the lord while slowly advancing the troops...Zhang Xianjun just used his ability to gather the soldiers and horses from Tongling, Chizhou and other places, constantly gathering momentum, and pressed towards Taiping Road. At the same time, he waited.
If you follow the orders given by your superiors, everything will be fine!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "You are indeed mature and prudent, so I will do as Mr. Fenglin wants."
Zhang Ximeng turned around and said to Li Wenzhong: "Okay, you have made a great contribution this time, so on my behalf, go and report the victory to the lord!"
Li Wenzhong was still a little embarrassed. Isn't it too immodest to ask him to go see his uncle and brag about his achievements? How about another person?
Zhang Ximeng looked at him and laughed, "Go if you are told. My lord will only be happy when he sees you."
Only then did Li Wenzhong agree. He immediately set off, took the clipper prepared by Liao Yongan, crossed the Yangtze River, and went straight to Hezhou. The thought of meeting his uncle soon made his heart warm. Although they had not been separated for long, what happened during this time
There are too many, just in time to chat with my uncle!
