The water here is plentiful and the grass is lush. No matter how you look at it, it is an excellent place to camp.
But just one night later, as soon as the sun came up, shadowy cavalry appeared on the left and right.
"Woo~"
The sound of the warning horn suddenly spread throughout the camp. Han Du suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, casually pulled on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
When Han Du walked out, the military camp was already on alert.
Looking at Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei coming in a hurry on horseback, they asked sharply: "What's going on?"
Tang Ding replied with a heavy face:
"We are surrounded."
Han Du took the reins handed over by the soldier, stepped onto his horse, and said, "Go and have a look."
Tang Ding nodded calmly and took Han Du to the front of the military camp first.
I saw that countless Mongolian and Yuan cavalry had occupied the hills in front and formed a siege around them.
Han Du turned around and glanced at the river behind him. The river was not wide, only more than three feet, and the river was not deep. I had explored it yesterday, and it was only about two meters. If he had not been surrounded by the Mongolian people, Han Du would have easily
You can cross the river with pine trees.
But there is no such thing as reality. Now surrounded by the Mengyuan people, it is obvious that the Mengyuan people will not watch Han Du cross the river step by step.
What was originally a perfect place for water and grass suddenly turned into a dead land.
Han Du looked at the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry in the distance with a livid face. These cavalry were making adjustments calmly and showed no intention of rushing to attack. They obviously regarded Han Du as a turtle in the urn and were not afraid that Han Du could escape.
.
"The Meng Yuan people are resting now. They will attack in half an hour at most. You can cross the river with your soldiers. I will stop them here. You can't stand here no matter what." Tang Ding did not look at Han.
Du said in a calm tone.
Go? Can you go by yourself?
Tang Ding said at best that he was staying here to block the Meng Yuan people, but at worst that he was prepared to use his life to buy himself time so that he could escape smoothly.
But even so, Han Du was not sure whether he could escape.
"Even if I can escape, how will I explain to your father when I go back?" Han Du smiled bitterly.
Half jokingly and half bitterly, he looked at Tang Ding and said, "Could it be that when your father asks me where you have been and why he didn't take you back, I will tell him that I left you to protect him from the knife and fled back by myself?"
?”
Tang Ding turned around, looked at it with red eyes, and shouted sternly: "Let's go, one by one, do you want us all to die here?"
"What's wrong with dying here? Everyone has only one life, so everyone can die but I can't?" After Han Du finished speaking, he exhaled a breath of thick air and suddenly felt the blood boiling in his chest.
'When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and one must have the spirit of wielding a sword!'
"You all should leave quickly, as long as I'm here to block you. My young father-in-law is right. If you know you are going to die, you can't all die. One of you can live. Don't you think so?"
There is no sadness on Xu Chengfei's face, only a smile, but this smile reveals endless sadness. He is still young, and he does not want to die. He also wants to make great achievements and become a descendant of Fuyin.
But at this moment, he had to destroy all his hopes with his own hands. Because he knew that among the three of them, he was the only one with the lowest status, and he was the only one who was the most suitable to stay and break up the family.
Moreover, both Han Du and Tang Ding treated him well and treated him as brothers. Since they are brothers, if he doesn't stand up now, who will?
Tang Ding fell silent when he heard the words. He didn't speak. He just raised his eyes and looked at Han Du. Tang Ding was quite moved by Xu Chengfei's words. It would be a big accident for him and Han Du, no matter who stayed to break up the relationship. Just like Han Du
As Du said, there is no way to explain it to the other party's family after returning home.
But Xu Chengfei was a little different. If he could escape this time, Tang Ding felt that as long as he protected Xu Chengfei's family in the future, he would be repaying him.
Even Xu Chengfei had no objection to this. The reason why he was willing to risk his own life and cut off his heir was just to hope that Duke Youxin and the Marquis of Zhenhai would protect his wife, children, and children. If his son could be given a future in the future, then even if he was here
It's worth dying without a complete body.
Facing Tang Ding's gaze, Han Du shook his head slightly.
If he could really escape, then Han Du would naturally not make fun of his own life. But at this moment, could he really cross the river behind him calmly and escape safely?
Han Du was very suspicious.
If he had just escaped to the other side, another group of cavalry appeared from behind the hill over there and captured him alive. Not only would he lose his life, but it would also be a fatal blow to the morale of the army.
That is the real ten deaths and no life.
These Mongolian cavalry were able to surround him silently, and Han Du felt that they would not let such a big loophole pass to him.
Han Du picked up the reins, took two steps forward, and immediately shouted: "Regulate the army, prepare for war, use carriages to block the left and right sides
On both sides, the cannons are aimed straight ahead, and the sword and shield soldiers step forward to block the cannons and hide them, so that Meng Yuan cannot find them."
Han Du gave the order, and when the originally frightened soldiers saw that Han Du was preparing to fight to the death, everyone seemed to have found a backbone. When others attacked, they would choose to surround three and leave one out, so as to reduce the enemy's hopelessness of escape.
Fight back desperately.
However, Han Du surrounded himself on three sides, leaving only a hole in the front.
In any case, Han Du was able to stand up at this time and did not intend to escape, which made the soldiers hope for him.
Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei saw that Han Du really had no intention of retreating, so they had no choice but to give up their attempts to persuade him and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming battle.
No matter how difficult or tragic the battle is, or even if they have a narrow escape, they must do their best to do their best.
Xu Chengfei stepped forward and kept passing orders. He did not directly refute Han Du's orders, but tried his best to make up for the shortcomings in Han Du's military orders.
Tang Ding also wanted to take the cavalry and rush to kill Meng Yuan while his foothold was not stable.
But he was stopped by Han Du, "You only have 5,000 men and horses, and the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry opposite has at least 50,000 men. You are throwing an egg at a stone. Wait, now is not the time to use your cavalry."
Fifty thousand cavalry is indeed a desperate number, but Han Du may not have other ideas in his mind.
The Shanzi Camp has been transformed by Han Du into a pure firearms army. The cavalry is indeed invincible in the battle with cold weapons, but it is not necessarily true when facing firearms.
When Xu Chengfei heard Han Du's order, he immediately understood Han Du's plan. He was preparing to use the power of artillery to kill the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry as much as possible. There were carriages on both sides to block it, which not only avoided being besieged by the Mongolian Yuan on three sides, but also left behind
An opening attracted the attention of the Mongolian people.
After the arrangements were made, Xu Chengfei returned to Han Du, pointed to the front of the camp and said: "I asked the soldiers to dig at least three trenches in front of the camp with all their strength. It doesn't need to be too deep as long as people can squat down. Let some sword and shield soldiers hide.
Inside, wait for the Meng Yuan cavalry to rush forward, and you can use the Sky-shattering Thunder to greet them."
"Good idea!" Sure enough, Xu Chengfei is Xu Chengfei. He even forgot to remind him of this, but he was able to make such a strategy on his own.
"Let the people in the trench work in pairs, with one responsible for lighting fires and the other responsible for throwing. In addition, tell them to cover themselves with shields and beware of Meng Yuan's arrows. Send people to keep an eye on the position of Meng Yuan's cavalry. Once they enter the road,
As far as the thunder can be thrown, the camp was ordered to sound the horn to remind the soldiers in each trench to throw it!"
>
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." After hearing this, Xu Chengfei turned around and left in a hurry.
Originally, he was still thinking that although there were trenches where he could hide, the Mongolian cavalry's arrow-throwing skills were so accurate that the casualties would not be small even if they were hiding in the trenches. But at this moment, he was no better.
All he could do was comfort himself in his mind, 'Where are the immortals in a war? Besides, it's still unknown whether he can leave alive this time. How can he care about other people's lives?'
He never expected that his troubles would be easily solved by Han Du.
Putting the steel shield on the head, let alone arrows, even if it is chopped with swords and axes, there is nothing that can be done to the people hiding below. People below do not need to risk sticking their heads out to check the position of the Mongolian cavalry.
All you need to do is obey the command of the horn and light the Thunderbolt on time and throw it out.
This greatly increased the safety of the sword and shield soldiers in the trench.
Perhaps the Meng Yuan people thought they had defeated the Ming army in front of them. Even when they saw the Ming army digging trenches in front of the camp, the Meng Yuan people had no intention of attacking or interfering. They just watched the Ming army destroy everything.
Be prepared.
"Buzz~"
The low sound of horns came from far away, and Han Du knew that the Meng Yuan people were about to attack.
Suddenly lifting the reins, Han Du rode forward and shouted at everyone:
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! We are people of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we face a powerful opponent and know that we are defeated, we must show our sword resolutely. Even if we fall, we must become a mountain and a ridge! Do you dare to show your sword to Meng Yuan~"
A high-spirited, decisive, and joyful spirit instantly spread from Han Du's body and spread to the hearts of every soldier, quickly infecting and assimilating everyone.
"Bright sword~"
"Bright sword~"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious~" Han Du raised his revolver again and shouted.
"The Ming Dynasty is victorious~"
"The Ming Dynasty is victorious~"
"Hahaha," Tang Ding looked at Han Du laughing heartily in front of Han Du, and said with admiration: "It's better to read more. If it were me, I would just say that brothers are fighting against me. How can I do that?"
Like Brother Han, one word can make everyone share the same hatred and die with determination and generosity!"
Seeing that Tang Ding was still in the mood to joke, Xu Chengfei couldn't help but roll his eyes. However, Xu Chengfei felt much more relaxed after being teased like this by him, and he didn't have the heaviness at all that he was about to fight to the death.
