There are two high hills five miles away from the city gate. The army must pass through the double road under the high hills. Zhu and Xia Qing each lead 10,000 troops to ambush on both sides of the road. These two teams are Zhu Tianjiang's elite.
, including almost all the elite soldiers trained by Zhu Si.
Zhu Daguanren wants to build momentum in this first battle. He also understands that if it is a head-to-head confrontation, even if he wins, he will only win miserably. According to Zhu Daguanren's analysis, Xuanming will definitely not set up a battle array outside the city as soon as he comes up.
To fight with him, it is very likely that Zhu Tianjiang will have to fight a few small battles first to find out Zhu Tianjiang's strength. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang asked the big guys to take action and stimulate the opponent's soldiers. As long as these people are captured first, not only can they
Increase morale and at least add a batch of armor and weapons to your team.
But there are two things that are difficult to grasp. One is whether the opponent can chase him out, and the other is how many men and horses the opponent chases out. If more than 50,000 men and horses chase him, Zhu Tianjiang and the 80,000 men may not be able to stop him.
Although it is said to be an army of 150,000, it is just that Zhu Tianjiang had people make a batch of extra flags, and the number of troops with real combat effectiveness does not exceed 30,000 at most.
Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang only asked Da Niu to lead 10,000 people to call the formation. According to the rules of calling the formation in this era, Xuanming would also send the same number of troops to meet the enemy. Zhu Tianjiang currently only has the ability to eat so many people. Although Zhu Tianjiang
He knew that doing so in the battle of "Calling Formation" would be looked down upon by everyone in the world. But he didn't care about that. On the battlefield, the winner is king, and those who abide by the rules are those who have been kicked in the head by a donkey. As long as they can win,
Even if he is cursed by the generals of the world, he still needs a tael of meat.
In order to win this battle, Zhu Tianjiang used almost all his troops. Now that everything was ready, he only needed Dongfeng, but he was afraid that Da Niu would not be able to attract people. Zhu Tianjiang wanted to go out personally, but he was also worried that Xuanming's people were afraid of him.
I don't want to be fooled by this "prestige". Among all the brothers, the one with the most bad mouth is Zhu Tianjiang. He is the only one who can make people sick with his mouth.
You have to let the big guys come in.
Zhu Er rode up to Zhu Tianjiang, "Sir, do you think Daniel can succeed?"
"It should be no problem. I specifically told this kid to run away as soon as we fight. If the opponent doesn't chase him, he will turn around and scold him again. When he scolds the opponent urgently, he will be successful. But I'm worried that the opponent will have too many troops. Zhu Yixiaqing
They can't stop them." Zhu Tianjiang also said a little worried.
"Zhu Si's support team is already in place. If the opponent's troops really press in, I'm afraid we have no choice but to flee for our lives. We need to preserve our strength first." Zhu Er said seriously.
"So I'm betting that Xuan Ming won't dare to attack them all. We are equal to 80,000 people eating up their 10,000 troops. Once we lose the bet, it can only be said that Emperor Chengwu has exhausted his energy, and it is Xuan Can who should take over the world.
"Zhu Tianjiang looked into the distance and said silently.
While the two were talking, they saw the flag soldiers in the distance starting to wave their flags as a warning. Zhu Tianjiang was overjoyed, knowing that Daniel had succeeded.
Xu Cheng led his troops and horses in hot pursuit. Five miles was not a long journey for the cavalry. Daniu's troops were running ahead like ducks. Although the formation was messy, they were not running slowly.
This group of soldiers all knew that if they were left alone, they would not survive, so they all ran away with all their lives.
Zhu Yi and Xia Qing were hiding at both ends of the high hill. When they saw Xu Cheng's team rushing over, he quickly led his troops to rush onto the road and block Xu Cheng's retreat.
"The Pioneer Battalion, immediately pile up the dry firewood in the middle of the road. The Archer Battalion is ready to intercept the reinforcements coming from behind." Zhu Yi quickly gave the order.
A group of soldiers began to pile felled trees and dry firewood into the middle of the road. The archers Yan Bieyi lined up and aimed in the direction of the capital. These crossbows were also the serial crossbows captured from Huo Zhenshan, and they were extremely powerful. If not for this battle
It was so important that Zhu Tianjiang was reluctant to use it.
Xia Qing rode up to Zhu Yi and said, "Zhu Yi, no matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy supports, even if they fight to the death, they still have to survive the time of a stick of incense. Otherwise, the soldiers and horses behind will not be able to eat the last one."
Tens of thousands of troops. Once the enemy troops are allowed to converge in one place, we may be in a great rout." Xia Qing said worriedly.
Zhu Yiyi had a stern look on his face, "Give me the order. Without an order, everyone will be nailed to the battlefield. Even if you die, you must die like a man."
As soon as Zhu Yi finished giving the order, he saw dust rising in the direction of the capital, and the two armies were chasing after him.
Zheng Longfeng supported the two generals, each leading 15,000 light cavalry, preparing to take Xu Cheng back to the capital.
"Stop moving forward~!" Zheng Long raised his spear and shouted suddenly.
At the gap not far ahead, fire suddenly broke out, and layers of flags appeared on both sides of the hill. Feng San took a look, pulled the reins of the horse and stopped.
Both of them were old men from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and had rich battlefield experience. When they saw this situation, they knew that Xu Cheng had been ambushed. But in their hearts, they felt a little gloating about the misfortune. The two brothers Xu Cheng and Xu Zhang were just ordinary people.
The little-known Jianghu figure, because he was a close associate of Xuan Ming, was on an equal footing with Zheng Longfeng as soon as he entered the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, which made the two of them feel very uncomfortable. Now that it was over, Xu Zhang died in battle, and Xu Cheng was ambushed again. It was just right.
Got their feelings.
"General Zheng, do you think we should rush to kill or turn back?" Feng Fan asked.
"Hmph, the Xu brothers have no battlefield experience at all. You can't tell even if you are trying to lure them into the bait. They deserve it! General Feng, Zhu Tianjiang is not an ordinary person. You must be extra careful when fighting him. Otherwise, a small oversight can lead to serious consequences.
He will die without a burial place. I have told His Highness Xuanming a long time ago that as long as we hold on to the capital and do not leave, Zhu Tianjiang will not be able to survive in less than two months. By then, everyone in the world will see that Zhu Tianjiang cannot take the capital.
They will all change their stance and stand on the side of the new emperor. Losing ten thousand troops is a trivial matter, but if we are all involved, it will be troublesome." Zheng Long said coldly.
"Then what General Zheng means is to withdraw the troops?" Feng Fan thought the same in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
Zheng Long smiled slightly, "It seems a little early to go back now. Let the brothers shout a few times here, which can be regarded as a farewell to Xu Cheng."
Feng Chan smiled knowingly, and the two messengers immediately gave the order. After a while, 30,000 troops began to scream for death.
Zhu Yi thought that the other party was going to rush over, and he and Xia Qing were preparing for a tough battle. They didn't expect that the other party was shouting loudly, but he was just on the other side of the fire and did not come over. Now they were relieved, it seemed that the other party was not sincere.
Rescue means.
Besides, Xu Cheng rushed through the hills and roads, and Zhu Si quickly led an army of 20,000 to outflank the enemy. With the sound of war drums in the front, Zhu Tianjiang personally led the remaining 30,000 troops and joined forces with Da Niu to fight back.
Xu Cheng knew he had been deceived, but he was leading the elite of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Xu Cheng thought that even if he was ambushed, he could still rush out.
Zhu Er stood on the handsome car, holding a big black flag high and waving a semaphore to Xu Cheng's team. This was a semaphore specially given to him by Zhu Si, in order to tell his own people mixed in the enemy's team to move to the left trench.
Evacuate in the opposite direction. Otherwise, in a fight, no one will know who the other is.
After Zhu Er finished the signal, Zhu Tianjiang stood on the handsome car, holding a big loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "Brothers, no matter what formation, kill me!"
More than 60,000 people cheered and rushed over like herding sheep. Although these people were not strong in fighting ability, they could not handle the large number of people. Especially when the recruits rushed for the first time, they felt very strong amidst the shouts of their own people.
Be less courageous.
Zhu Si and Daniu ran towards Xu Cheng at the same time. They wanted to capture the thief first. As long as they captured Xu Cheng, the team would be finished. Xu Cheng's eyes were red and he rushed straight towards Daniu.
Xu Cheng and Danu Niu went head-to-head, and pierced Danuo's heart with a gun. Danui didn't even dodge, and when he saw the tip of the spear piercing his head, he hit him with a stick.
Pow~Pah~! Xu Cheng was also furious. He was just fighting to the death to avenge his brother. He shot Daniel right in the chest. However, it was blocked by Daniel's goggles, and the tip of the gun slid to the side and hit him.
Daniel's shoulder blades and Daniel's iron rod were also smashed down. Even though Xu Cheng was wearing armor, Daniel still knocked Xu Cheng off his horse like a watermelon.
"Daniu, be careful." Zhu Si saw a soldier stabbing the injured Daniel with a spear. The spear flew out from his hand, killing the soldier with one shot.
Once the opponent's general died, there was no way to think about fighting. The soldiers fled in all directions. But surrounded by an army of 60,000, the less fighting momentum they lost, the easier it was to be defeated.
In less than a stick of incense, the 10,000 troops led by Xu Cheng were killed by Zhu Tianjiang. The new soldiers won a great victory, and cheers resounded through the sky.
In the capital, Xuan Ming quickly learned the news. Xuan Ming's face was a bit scary. Xu Cheng's 10,000-strong army was eaten by Zhu Tianjiang, while Zheng Long and Feng Gan's troops were intact. It was obvious that
The work was done but the effort was not spared. If it were not for the recruitment of people now, Xuan Ming would have ordered the execution of the two of them.
Xuanming ordered his men to close the city gates tightly and put up a no-battle card. No matter how the opponent called the formation, they would not come out. Xuanming couldn't figure out the details of Zhu Tianjiang, so he simply waited for him to take the initiative to attack the city.
A tense day passed, and after Zhu Tianjiang won a great victory, he did not call for battle again. However, the soldiers and horses on the city wall were not relaxed, and they were always ready to resist Zhu Tianjiang's massive attack.
In the palace, in the sect's mansion with the palace door tightly closed, Prince Jing looked around with dim candles. He had to find a way to escape. Only when he got out of this damn palace could Prince Jing find a way to save Yu'er. He
Knowing that the queen was just using Yu'er as a bargaining chip, she didn't dare to kill her. In any case, Yu'er is also a member of the royal family. If the queen really wanted to use Yu'er to operate on her, it would make the entire harem boil. Don't look at the concubines who are gone.
They had rights, but their natal families were all over the capitals of Dafeng. It made them all angry. Even if Emperor Wu was defeated, the capitals of the world would unite to attack the queen.
Prince Jing was wearing thin clothes, twisted the sheets into a rope, and threw it on the beam. Prince Jing even used the strength to feed himself, and finally climbed to the roof. Prince Jing carefully went to the eaves and opened the roof.
The window climbed out little by little.
"Prince Jing is a thousand years old. It's so late, but you still have the heart to come to the roof to enjoy the cool air."
Just when King Jing climbed out of the top window, a voice sounded from his ears.
"Ah~!" Prince Jing trembled in fright.
The two palace guards in front of him were looking at Prince Jing with a sneer.
Poor Prince Jing was almost exhausted and vomited blood, but he was escorted back to the side hall of the clan mansion.
One of the guards walked out, but the other guard stayed with Prince Jing.
"Prince Jing, the Queen Mother has said that if you dare to run away, we are allowed to be rude to you. If you don't want to suffer physical pain, I advise you to calm down." The guard said coldly.
"Bah! Bold slave, what's the 'Queen Mother'? Emperor Chengwu is not dead, Feng Wanqiu is usurping the throne from a certain dynasty. Dog slave, as long as I go out, you will get the end you deserve." Prince Jing scolded breathlessly.
arrive.
The guard's face turned cold, "Old man, you thought you were the former prince. I think you're just looking for a slap!" He said and slapped him.
Prince Jing subconsciously raised his sleeves to block, but found that the opponent did not hit him. Prince Jing raised his head in confusion and was stunned for a moment.
A sharp knife penetrated the guard's back chest. The guard's hand was still in the air, but his mouth was covered and he couldn't make a sound.
Behind the guard, stood a palace guard wearing the same clothes. However, this person was an old-looking guard.
"You are~ah~Lin~Lin Feng!"
Prince Jing saw the face of the visitor clearly and was so surprised that he almost shouted!
