In the battle of Jiahe, the Yan army's initial battle was unfavorable, and the morale of the southern army was greatly shaken.

The subordinates asked for orders to take the initiative, but Sheng Yong shook his head resolutely.

His family knew his own affairs, and the imperial court had already summoned the guards many times, and the most combat-effective foot soldiers had already been exhausted in the hands of Geng Bingwen and Li Jinglong. With the current 200,000 Southern Army fighting against the cavalry of the Yan Army, there is no certainty of victory, and it is barely able to block the cavalry's charge by relying on the battle formation to defend to the death.

Sheng Yong's original intention was to drag the Yan army into a war of attrition.

His Majesty is rich all over the world, and King Yan only occupies the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang, and the soldiers under his command are indeed strong, but the food supply is far from the opponent of the imperial court.

How long can you survive by robbing military rations?

As long as heavy troops are sent to protect the grain road, King Yan will definitely pay considerable losses if he robs the military rations.

1,000 wounds to the enemy and 800 self-inflicted losses.

Sheng Yong can afford to fight, but Zhu Di can't.

The generals of the Southern Army were carried away by the victory in the first battle, apparently forgetting the previous crushing defeats at Zhengcunba and Baigou River. It was the battle of Cangzhou, and it was not easy to win.

As the commander of the Southern Army, Sheng Yong must always remain calm. If you also have a hot head with your subordinates, you won't be able to fight this battle.

"We will use the battle array to wear down Yan's fighting spirit and destroy its fighting spirit, and Yan's rebellion will be chaotic."

Once the Yan army shows its flaws, it is a good opportunity for the army to attack. Otherwise, Sheng Yong would rather continue to use the turtle shell to fight against the Yan King.

Suppress the generals' invitation to fight, Sheng Yong strictly ordered, when fighting again, if anyone dares to be greedy and rash, regardless of the overall situation, don't blame him for not being emotional, and the military law will deal with it!

In other words, this turtle-like battle formation must be held, if you dare not obey the orders of the generals and do not listen to the command, then weigh how hard your neck is. Rushed out of the city without authorization, and if you were not killed by Yan Jun, you would still be stabbed when you came back!

Sheng Yong used his iron and bloody wrists, and no one dared to take the initiative to fight.

No matter how secretly he despises Sheng Yong's timidity, he must obey military orders on the surface.

The next day, before dawn, the southern army lined up a battle formation beside the Jiahe River, waiting for the Yan army to attack.

From morning to noon, from the first light of dawn blooming on the horizon to the high hanging of the wheel of fire, the shadow of Yan Jun was never seen.

The long wait made many soldiers restless, and even Sheng Yong was shocked.

King Yan is a fierce general, a fierce man known all over the world. In terms of the strategy of the art of war, except for the founding generals who fought the world with Emperor Tai-Zugao, no one can stand out. Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, is counted as one, but his way of using troops and Zhu Di are completely two different concepts.

Xu Huizu is good at attacking head-on, but Yan Wang prefers to attack the flanks. In an evenly matched fight and a behind-the-back attack, King Yan often chooses the latter.

Through the study of King Yan, Sheng Yong concluded that on the battlefield, Zhu Di was very happy to play sneak attacks.

From the top to the bottom, the generals of the Yan army naturally actively moved closer to him.

Robbing military rations, harassing the rangers, withdrawing after robbing, and running away after fighting, these businesses of the Yan army are quite skilled.

What about vassal kings? Who decreed that the vassal king must be above board?

Thinking of this, Sheng Yong began to worry, if the Yan army did not launch an attack for a long time, could it be that he wanted to play - yin - trick again?

All day, the whole Yugoslav army spent time in anxiety and waiting. The Yan army camp was always quiet, and there was no movement.

Finally, Sheng Yong couldn't wait any longer, and sent his cavalry to the Yan army camp to find out. What the hell is going on, we have to see clearly.

The cavalry set off, and the battle formation like a turtle shell was still there.

couldn't wait for news for a moment, Sheng Yong didn't dare to relax for a moment.

What if the Yan army is ambushed nearby, waiting for a flaw in the battle formation to attack? Although it is unlikely, it has to be guarded against.

The cavalry who went to investigate the news did not return for a long time, and Sheng Yong became even more anxious in his heart, so he had to send a second group of cavalry.

"Boss, could it be that Yan Rui saw that the situation was unfavorable and fled north overnight?"

The words of Zhuang De, who are all in command, also represent the thoughts of some generals of the Southern Army.

Sheng Yong shook his head, this is not King Yan's style.

Seeing the coach shaking his head, Zhuang De laughed dryly twice and stopped talking.

For a long time, the second wave of cavalry still did not return. Sheng Yong gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and sent someone to probe again!

Several times the cavalry was dispatched, but there was no return, and everyone was beating drums in their hearts, could it be that there was really an ambush?

Finally, smoke and dust rose from the direction where the cavalry left, and without waiting for a sigh of relief, Sheng Yong immediately wrinkled his brows, the situation was not right!

Judging from the battle jacket and helmet, it was not the cavalry of the Southern Army that came, but the Yan Army! And all of them were Mongolian cavalry, foreign aid hired by Zhu Di with money.

"Formation!"

Without Sheng Yong's order, the soldiers immediately cheered up.

The shields are erected, the firearms, bows and crossbows are ready, as long as the Yan cavalry enters the firing range, they will definitely know that they are powerful.

The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the soldiers of the Southern Army licked their somewhat dry lips, just like hunters waiting by the trap.

Strangely, a hundred meters away, the Yan cavalry suddenly pulled the reins and took off the hard bow from their backs.

Under the surprised gaze of the southern army, arrows with strange appearances were woven into an iron curtain and fell like rain.

The southern army immediately resisted with their shields, and did not want the arrows to hit the shields, so there was a crackling sound of gunpowder. A pungent smell rushed into the nostrils, and in the gray-black smoke and dust, the southern army holding the shield could not open his eyes, and could only cough loudly.

The Yan army fired three volleys, and immediately turned the horse's head, and the southern army couldn't find a target if they wanted to fight back.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Southern Army, the Yan Army launched a small number of artillery pieces and catapults built overnight, and with a deafening roar, the left wing of the Southern Army was smashed open by iron balls and boulders.

The Yan cavalry that had withdrawn before struck through the gap, like a spear, stabbed a hole in the enemy's body, waiting to bleed.

The Yan army did not have many artillery and catapults, and after two rounds of firing, the shoddy catapults were declared dead.

The Yan cavalry who rushed into the formation fired another round of rockets, increasing the confusion on the left flank, and the southern army was indeed in chaos, but the Yan cavalry, who had not calculated the distance, had to cough together.

In the midst of tears and snot, Yan Jun made up his mind in his heart, no matter who he offended, he resolutely could not offend Meng Tongzhi, who was the defender of Yanshan!

It's really a cheat!

The confusion on the left flank of the army aroused Sheng Yong's vigilance, and after understanding the situation, he immediately transferred part of the Chinese army to reinforcements. In order to guard against King Yan from attacking from the flanks, Sheng Yong specially strengthened the two wings of the battle formation, and only sent cavalry to charge, and he couldn't rush in even if he was tired. didn't want Yan Jun to use such a method, Rao is Sheng Yong was also taken aback.

Pressing the ominous premonition in his heart, Sheng Yong ordered the whole army to stabilize its position, absolutely not to mess up, and not to give the Yan army any chance to break through the battle formation.

The Yan army is mainly cavalry, and it will definitely not carry a large number of artillery, and the so-called catapults are just fake and shoddy products, and it is definitely the cavalry that plays a decisive role!

Sheng Yong's idea was very correct, and the movement of the troops was also very fast, but he had no intention of worrying, so he was a step slower after all.

The confusion on the left flank of the army had not yet subsided, and there was another drum noise on the right flank, and the cavalry of the Yan army took advantage of the confusion on the left flank of the southern army and launched an attack on the right flank of the southern army.

It was still rockets that took the lead, but then it was not catapults and artillery, but spears thrown by the Yan army. The spear body has also undergone a transformation, and the stronger one can directly penetrate the shield of the Southern Army.

Meng, who was watching the game from the rear, was stunned, such a standard throwing action, such an amazing arm strength, put it in the future, it is definitely an Olympic medal level.

However, just throwing a spear, do you need to be bare-chested?

Looking at the bulging muscles of the strong men, Meng Tongzhi was amazed, and several question marks popped up on his head.

A hobby, perhaps? God knows.

Knowing that the right-wing was in turmoil, Sheng Yong had to continue to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and then send the Chinese army to support.

Vaguely, he seemed to have guessed the Yan army's plan, by breaking through the left and right flanks, mobilizing the Chinese army, and taking advantage of the chaos to launch a general attack.

But what if you guess it? Turning a blind eye to attacks on both sides? If the Chinese army does not move, I am afraid that the feint attack will also become a real attack. How accurate Yan Wang's grasp of the fighter was, Sheng Yong didn't want to experience it with blood and life at all.

After sending reinforcements, Sheng Yong ordered the Chinese army to strengthen the defense, and the Yan army must not be given any chance to break through. He thought very clearly that as long as he survived the first three attacks, the battle would be stalemate again, which would be more beneficial to his side.

It's a pity that no matter how well you think about it, it can't become a reality after all.

Seeing that Sheng Yong began to mobilize the Chinese army, King Yan decisively ordered to launch an attack according to the plan!

Tens of thousands of Yan soldiers lined up in a long formation, following the example of Sheng Yong's army, placing their shields at the front, and advancing with the bows and arrows of the southern army. Although the Yan army is mostly a round shield, through the cooperation of the knife player, it is enough to protect the vital parts.

Such a formation is definitely a copycat of red-fruit-fruit.

But on the battlefield, with each other's positions, it is impossible and impossible for Sheng Yong to discuss issues such as intellectual property rights and patents with Zhu Di, so he can only scold Zhu Laosi for being shameless and playing copycats! While watching the Yan army approach.

"Firebolts, crossbows, ready!"

The left and right flanks of the southern army were pinned down by the Yan army, and the Yan army was arrayed, and the target was directly aimed at the Chinese army, and Sheng Yong could only meet it.

The current Southern Army is like a turtle, all four legs are entangled, and the head can continue to shrink? That will only lead to a faster death.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the southern army's bows and crossbows were the first to break through the air, and the effective range of the firearms could not reach a hundred paces, and the reloading time was long, so they had to wait for the Yan army to get closer before they could fire.

When the Yan army entered the firing range, it correspondingly increased its own danger.

But Sheng Yong has no other way. Even if he thoroughly studied Zhu Di's strategy of using cavalry, once the Yan army dismounted and fought on foot, there was no other way but to fight hard.

Sheng Yong was very depressed, the cavalry was used well, what did he do when he dismounted and fought on foot?

Just as they were about to enter the range of the Southern Army's firearms, the horn sounded, and the Yan Army suddenly stopped.

The Yan soldier in the front row of the battle formation struck the shield with his waist knife in his hand, making one dull sound after another. The soldiers in the back row slammed their spears to the ground, and each time, there was a neat sound of killing.

The atmosphere of slaughter began to spread from the center of the confrontation, and the shouts of killing on both wings seemed to be far away.

Whether it was the Yan army holding a shield spear or the Chinese army under Sheng Yong, there was only the enemy on the opposite side in their eyes.

With the sound of gunpowder-explosion-explosion-, the musketeers of the Southern Army began to shoot.

Even if the Yan army was still out of range, the generals of the southern army couldn't care about it.

The evil aura on the Yan army was terrifying, and before the official confrontation, some of the southern soldiers had begun to weaken.

After a round of firearms from the Southern Army, taking advantage of the gap between loading gunpowder projectiles, the Yan Army moved forward again.

The Southern Army's crossbow arrows flew, and the Yan Army behind the shield responded with bows and arrows, but did not cause much damage to the Southern Army. On the contrary, more and more Yan troops fell wounded and fell to the sound of the enemy's bows and crossbows and firearms.

But the Yan army is still moving forward.

Sheng Yong's eyelids began to jump, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

Finally, when the two sides could almost see each other's faces, the Yan army stopped again, this time no longer a deterrent, but a real dagger.

A wooden pole that was six or seven feet long suddenly flew out of the Yan army formation and went straight into the southern army formation.

The iron nail runs across the head of the pole, there is a reverse hook at the end of the nail, and there is a long rope at the end of the rod, and the people who throw the long pole are the strongest warriors in the Yan army.

The long poles either flew into the Southern Army's formation, or killed and injured the soldiers of the Southern Army, and several long poles even penetrated the shields of the Southern Army! The only explanation is that the Ordnance Bureau cut corners, used shoddy, and used wood instead of copper and iron, fattening its own purse, but harming the soldiers on the battlefield.

In any case, the southern army was a little confused by the Yan army's hand.

Seeing that the attack was effective, the Yan soldiers shouted, pulled the rope at the end of the pole, and pulled back violently.

For a time, the shield flew with the Southern Army.

The crowd was too late to react, and watched as the shield and the knife player were dragged away.

The knife player who was dragged away was also stunned for a long time, until he was dragged into the Yan army array, saw the ill-intentioned faces and the bright sword light, and clenched the waist knife with difficulty, and then ...... There is no then.

Immediately, Yan Jun threw more long poles. There are fierce people, who are not afraid of the power of bows and crossbows and firearms, and directly carry a long pole to hook the shield and knife players of the Southern Army, almost one hook and one accurate.

The Southern Army, which reacted, immediately grabbed the shield and grabbed the long pole, resolutely not to be dragged away by the enemy.

One can't catch it, two go on it together, two can't do it, then three!

So, when the soldiers on both wings flew with swords and fought to the death, the Chinese armies on both sides launched a unique tug-of-war competition.

There were those who were pulled away by the Southern Army, and there were also those who were pounced by the Yan Army.

The Southern Army fired bows and crossbows, and the Yan Army responded with bows and spears.

As for the fairness of the game?

Nobody cares.

After all, the losers of this game pay the price of blood and lives.

Sheng Yong and his generals were dumbfounded.

Is this a war?

Since ancient times, I have never seen such a war.

All the tactics of war have become so pale after a guy who doesn't play cards according to the rules and is good at divergent thinking.

King Yan's surprise attack, Sheng Yong has a way to deal with it.

When the infantry fights, the southern army can also resist hard.

But in front of you? Sheng Yong shed a cold sweat, obviously the previous battle was still very "normal", why did the attacking army suddenly change?

Differentiating between engage in discrimination?

No matter what Sheng Yong thinks, in short, Meng proposed, Shen Xuan reported, and after the Yan army generals polished, the strategic plan adopted by the Yan King finally played an unexpected effect on the battlefield.

It doesn't matter if the means are clever or not, as long as he can win, Zhu Di doesn't care!

Halfway through the tug-of-war, the horn sounded again in the rear of the Yan army, and the cavalry that had already been ready, led by King Yan himself, rushed to Sheng Yong's Chinese army.

The two wings of the army were pinned down by Tan Yuan and Zhu Neng, and Sheng Yong could not transfer reinforcements.

Seeing Zhu Di rushing up, the sharp long knife instantly wiped the necks of several knife players, and Sheng Yong's army was in chaos in an instant.

Shen Xuan led the cavalry to follow closely behind King Yan, holding a spear, as if killing a god.

Seeing him, the southern army didn't dare to step forward at all, as if he saw the kind citizens of the villain, he screamed, turned around and ran.

King Yan was slashing happily, and suddenly found that all the enemies had run away, leaving no one behind, and the battlefield was instantly emptied.

Holding the long knife, Zhu Di's head was full of question marks, and when he saw Shen Xuan behind him, he immediately understood.

"Xuan'er."

"Humble duty."

"The battlefield is so big, where can't you cut people? Stay away from loneliness. ”

"Humble duty to protect the prince!"

"It's safe to be alone." There is a protective shield given by his nephew, only he has the share of cutting people, who dares to cut him?

"The lowly duty must protect the prince!"

Zhu Di glared, with him following, how could he cut people?

Shen Xuan is very determined, following King Yan, maybe he can catch a few people who don't want to die for the sake of military exploits, if he doesn't follow King Yan, he won't be able to cut down any of them.

Meng, who was following behind Shen Xuan, bowed his head and silently thought in his heart: Commander Shen is loyal to protect the prince, the prince is wise and the martial true dragon is born, and the absolute monarch and minister get along.

As for Yan Wang Ming's intentions...... He didn't hear anything, and he didn't see anything.

King Yan couldn't get rid of Shen Xuan, so he could only watch the ducks that were about to arrive flutter and fly one after another, and there was no way at all.

Helplessly looking up at the sky, the commander who can't cut people without driving away the generals of the Chinese army, the ancient and the present, which one else is besides himself?

The battle continued until the evening, and at first, the Yan army had the advantage on the battlefield, and soon, the southern army gradually stabilized its position under the command of Sheng Yong.

Zhu Neng, who attacked the left wing of the Southern Army, fought bravely and gradually converged with King Yan, but Tan Yuan, who attacked the right wing of the Southern Army, had an accident.

When rushing into battle, the hooves of the war horse suddenly fell into the pit, the horse's legs were broken, Tan Yuan accidentally fell off the horse, and before he could get up, he was picked up by Zhuang De, the general of the Southern Army, and hacked to death.

This situation has also happened in Xiongxian County. At that time, it was Yang Song, the general of the Southern Army, who accidentally fell off the horse, and it was Meng who took advantage of the chaos to cut people.

When they go underground, Tan Yuan will definitely sympathize with Yang Song, and they are both killed in battle, how can they die so aggrieved?

After Tan Yuan was heroic, Zhuang was a little stupid.

Realizing which one he had just hacked to death, Zhuang was instantly Spartan, and his excitement was comparable to winning a jackpot of tens of millions.

But Zhuang De didn't be happy for long, and Zhang Fu led the cavalry to kill quickly.

With a "look at the knife", Zhuang De immediately moved his head, and followed Tan Yuan's footsteps to meet Yang Song underground.

won the grand prize but failed to spend a single point, Zhuang De was afraid that he was even more depressed than Tan Yuan.

Night—When night fell, the warring sides had to withdraw their troops.

Sheng Yong held an operational meeting overnight, and the meeting was held until late at night, and the generals of the Southern Army were all solemn.

King Yan's face is not very good, although the balance of victory is tilted towards his side, but he can't cut people with itchy hands, and he can only be a bystander on the battlefield, how can he not let him hold his breath?

Hearing that Tan Yuan died in battle, the glorious way was quite incredible, and King Yan was even more angry.

After the account was raised, the black-faced King Yan praised Meng who offered his advice, praised the brave generals one by one, and remembered the heroic Tan Yuan. At the end, he said solemnly: "Tomorrow, the Chinese army will be postponed, and the lone leader of the left army will attack together." ”

After all, Shen Xuan was not given a chance to raise objections, and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Walking out of the big tent, Zhu Neng patted Shen Xuan on the shoulder, "Ziyu, don't worry, you will definitely protect the prince for your brother." ”

Shen Xuan: "......"

"In the end, it can't be helped. As soon as you rush forward, the enemy has fled, how can the battle be fought? Zhu Neng grinned, "Don't rush to Brother Wei's side tomorrow." Not long after Zhang Fu's battle, he rushed to his side, remember. ”

Shen Xuan: "......"

When Zhu Neng walked away, Meng looked at Shen Xuan, "Commander Shen, I understand you humbly." ”

Shen Xuan tilted his head, squinted, and suddenly smiled.

The back of Meng's neck is cold, why do you have to talk fast? Tonight, should he sleep in a different tent?

It's a pity that Meng Tongzhi failed to get his wish.

The next day, Meng Shishilang, who walked out of the tent, had nothing to do with his face, touched his shoulders and the back of his neck, and couldn't help but bare his teeth.

For a moment, as if remembering something, the roots of his ears were slightly red.

Fortunately, there is still a war today, so fortunately!

Beside the river, the two armies lined up again.

The Southern Army was in the southwest, and the Yan Army was in the northeast.

Sheng Yong rearranged the tactics of the Yan army, although he could not defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, at least he would not be pressed and beaten like yesterday.

The two sides come and go, and King Yan led the cavalry to charge the battle many times, and the battle situation was always anxious.

The Yugoslav army was prepared, and neither the artillery nor the long poles were able to achieve the same results as yesterday. However, the battle formation of the southern army is no longer like a turtle shell, so that the Yan army has nowhere to start.

The two armies fought from the hour to the end, and there were victories and defeats against each other in a small area.

Later, the soldiers on both sides were so tired that they simply sat down on the ground and waited until they took a breath and stood up before continuing.

In the midst of the stalemate, a sudden gust of wind blew from the northeast with sand and gravel. The Yan army with a tailwind was blown to the ground, not to mention the southern army against the wind.

When the wind rose, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind blew so that they couldn't open their eyes, the southern army couldn't see the enemy in front of them clearly, and could only hear the horns and war drums of the Yan army mixed in the wind.

It doesn't matter if you're in the right direction or not, as long as you can save your life!

This wind is really too evil, could it be that King Yan is really a real dragon, and the heavens will help him so much?

The southern army was in chaos in an instant, and King Yan would not let go of such a good opportunity, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the whole army would attack.

In the gale, Sheng Yong's army was defeated, and none of the 200,000 troops remained, and those who were still alive surrendered one after another.

Sheng Yong was escorted by his own soldiers and fled in the direction of Texas.

The Yan army pursued until the Hutuo River before stopping.

After withdrawing the troops back to the camp, all the generals were covered with dust, and the soldiers were even more like rolling through the dirt, and they had to rely on their voices to recognize whether they were acquaintances or not.

King Yan also dismounted and wiped the dirt off his face before entering the camp, and when he saw Shen Xuan, Zhu Neng and others, who were also embarrassed, he immediately burst out laughing.

Since Dongchang's defeat, he finally got a bad breath.

King Yan was happy, and the war report was sent to Nanjing, but Emperor Jianwen was dumbfounded.

Mu Ran sat on the throne, with a bitterness in his heart, Sheng Yong, a good partner, was so unreliable?
