The drums of war roared, shouting to the sky, and the Yuan army, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, finally launched the first round of attacks.

Tang He had already led the generals of various departments to go to various city walls to command and defend the city, and Xu Da's Shenji Battalion was the first time to use fire guns to participate in the battle, and at this time, he had already sharpened his fists and put on a posture of fighting to the death.

Facing the Yuan army surging like a tide, Tang Dou greeted Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen, who were already in a state of excitement, walked into the arrow tower as the command headquarters, closed the door, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Guorui, you are here to command, I will go out of the city to Guo Zixing and Chang Yuchun to have a look." ”

Tuhuan Timur was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang's 50,000 soldiers and horses were all defending the city in Haozhou, but he didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang still had 30,000 troops hiding outside the city at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded excitedly: "Big brother, don't worry, I'll leave it here." ”

Tang Dou turned to Liu Bowen and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Bowen, act according to the plan." ”

Liu Bowen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Tang Xian, people are in the city." ”

Tang Dou snorted, and walked away in front of the two of them with a bang.

Liu Bowen had already seen Tang Dou's skills, and although he was frightened at this time, he was no longer so flustered.

Thirty miles outside the city, the 30,000 troops led by Guo Zixing and Chang Yuchun were lurking here waiting for orders.

Although their 30,000 army experienced two major battles, completely annihilating Wang Baobao's 30,000 army and the 40,000 army led by the father and son of Badulu, but due to the proper strategy, their own casualties were minimal, especially the battle against Badulu, which was simply effortless.

After receiving a letter from Wang Baobao from Chang Yuchun asking for help, Badulu immediately ordered his son Polo Timur to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to help, and he himself led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses as a follow-up. As a result, Polo Timur fell into the ambush circle set up by Guo Zixing and Chang Yuchun without accident, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated without even seeing the shadow of the enemy.

Answering the loss of Badulu heard the shouting of killing from the front, he thought that his son's team had fought with Zhu Yuanzhang's army besieging Wang Baobao, and hurriedly ordered his troops to speed up, so he rushed into the second ambush circle of Guo Zixing's Chang Yuchun, and was burned by a fire.

Annihilated the army of Wang Baobao and Ashi Badulu, all the armaments of this army led by Guo Zixing and Chang Yuchun have been replaced, and those rebels who were originally wearing tattered clothes and holding sticks are now a new look, with bright armor and sharp swords and guns, at first glance, I thought this army was the regular army of the Mongolian Tartars. It's just that the rebels lacked training, and they were far inferior to the regular Mongolian army in terms of military appearance and discipline.

At this time, Guo Zixing, Chang Yuchun and several other generals were gathering together to discuss, and the sound of the Yuan army attacking the city had already come from afar, but Tang Dou Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to stay still, which made several of their generals fidget like ants on a hot pot.

Chang Yuchun's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw Tang Dou walking out of the small tent they had set up for Tang Dou with a serious face, Chang Yuchun immediately jumped up from the ground and greeted Tang Dou with an excited face: "Tang Xian, is there a task for us?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and said to Chang Yuchun: "Your task is to sleep." ”

Chang Yuchun looked bitter: "Tang Xian, they are fighting hotly over there, we are hiding in this mountain and sleeping a lot, this is a bit too favoritism, right?" ”

Guo Zixing and others also came over, and when they heard this, Guo Zixing smiled and said to Chang Yuchun: "Tang first asked you to pretend to be a tartar, you loaded a tartar twice, and pit Wang Baobao and the 70,000 army of Badulu, and now Tang Xian lets you sleep, you will obediently find a place to sleep, and ensure that you have benefits." ”

Tang Dou smiled, shook hands with Guo Zixing, and several people sat down under the shade of the tree.

Tang Dou took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground, and marked the current situation of the two armies with a pen.

Chang Yuchun's eyes lit up, and he smiled hehehe: "Tang Xian, our army is hidden here, and it is behind the army of Tuhuan Timur. If we kill it now, we will definitely be able to achieve a surprising victory. ”

Tang Dou smiled slightly: "It's up to you to win by surprise, but not now, so you have to order the soldiers to hurry up and sleep, and give me enough mental." ”

Guo Zixing raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "Tang Xian, do you mean a night attack?" ”

Tang Dou smiled slightly: "Now there are 20,000 soldiers in the city guarding the city, with the strength of Tuhuan Timur, with only the cloud ladder, it is absolutely impossible for him to break the city in one day." Berwyn expected that Tuhuan Timur would definitely use wheel warfare, and the 80,000-strong army would take turns to attack the city, and in the first battle today, Tohuan Timur wanted to win quickly, and I am afraid that he would not stop attacking the city at night. At the end of such a day, the Yuan army must have been exhausted. You recuperate, and when it is early in the morning, you will launch a surprise attack on the Yuan army from behind, and the Yuan army will definitely be lax in its defense behind you, and if you suddenly attack, the Yuan army will definitely be in disarray. With elite soldiers against tired troops, what is there to fear even though the Tartars have 80,000 people? At that time, Guorui and Dingchen will also lead the troops out of the city, and under the front and rear attacks, they will definitely be able to break the 80,000 army of Tuhuan Timur in one fell swoop. ”

Chang Yuchun slapped his fist on his palm excitedly, and said with a smile at Guo Zixing and the other generals: "Let's talk about it in advance, none of you can rob me, my goal is to be the dog emperor of Tuohuan Muer, I must take him down with my own hands." ”

Guo Zixing said with a smile: "Then it depends on whose luck is good, you can't be happy and Timur is desperate and bumps into me, I still have to tie him up and send him over to you, right?" ”

Tang Dou smiled and shook his head gently, the ideal state is of course to win the battle tonight, then Meng Yuan will definitely fall into chaos.

However, can Meng Yuan really be overthrown so simply?

Tang Dou listened to a few people farting for a while, smiled and stretched out his hand to stop everyone, circled a few places on the map with a red pen, and said to Guo Zixing: "In a battle tonight, the Yuan army will definitely be defeated." General Guo, if you want to set up some troops and horses in these places in advance, you will definitely be able to achieve unexpected results. ”

Guo Zixing looked at the map carefully and nodded cautiously: "Don't worry, Tang Xian, I'll start arranging it." ”

Tang Dou smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Chang Yuchun, who was still excited, and said with a smile: "Boren, since you want to capture Huan Timur alive, why don't you let me go to sleep obediently?" After tonight's raid, the Yuan army will definitely be defeated, and you will have to chase the Yuan army tomorrow. This army is mainly cavalry, how can you pursue them if you don't have a good spirit? ”

Chang Yuchun jumped up excitedly: "The last general has an order, and now lead the brothers to sleep." ”

Tang Dou also stood up with a smile, and said to Guo Zixing: "General Guo has worked hard, I'll go back to the city now to take a look." ”

After all, there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses defending the city, and the pressure is still very great to face the repeated attacks of the 80,000 troops of Tuhuan Timur.

And the key to this battle is that Zhu Yuanzhang can hold Haozhou City for a day, otherwise the plan formulated by Liu Bowen is completely a flash in the pan. (To be continued.) )
