Chapter 118: Fight to the Death
Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Zhang Wenxiu, and Zhang Nengqi immediately understood what Zhang Xianzhong wanted to do next.
Zhang Xianzhong was ready to redo Feng Nu personally went into battle to find the fatal flaw of the loyal battalion, and then "seize the fighter plane to create the fighter plane", strive to break the loyal battalion in one fell swoop, and even prepared to take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive away the defeated soldiers, and scattered the Yue Ming army and Hao Shaoqi's headquarters all the way.
This can be said to be an extremely ambitious but very feasible plan, but it is only feasible if Zhang Xianzhong personally goes out.
Although Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons and the generals of the Great Western Army are all experienced generals, they all seem a little immature in terms of unique vision, and they are certainly not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, who has been on the battlefield for decades.
But since entering Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong has not personally gone out of the experience, after all, although the transformation of the Great Western Army to the Great Western Dynasty has failed, but Zhang Xianzhong has changed from a thief leader to the supreme Emperor of the Great West, not only has the prime minister around him, but also has the queen, eunuchs, and imperial guards.
In fact, this time the Great Western Army failed to break through the loyal camp in one go, a very important reason is that compared with the past, Zhang Xianzhong, the lord, will come too late, but everyone thinks that this is a very normal situation, Zhang Xianzhong is now the emperor of the Great West, naturally not like before, he can always rush to the front, he can drive the expedition in person to Yiling is extremely rare.
Now, whether it is Prime Minister Wang Zhaoling or Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, when they heard that Zhang Xianzhong was going to personally go out to find fighters, they all knelt down in unison: "Please Your Majesty (Father) take back your life, Your Majesty (Father's) safety is related to the life and death of my Great Western Kingdom, and you must not take risks!" ”
In the past, they sincerely persuaded Zhang Xianzhong, but now they know very well that if they don't express their stance in time, they are afraid that they will suffer a lot if they turn back, after all, Zhang Xianzhong is now the Emperor of Daxi, no matter who it is, as long as he does not say a word about His Majesty's actions of putting His Majesty to death and being born later, he must be dissatisfied with His Majesty and even have the heart to curse His Majesty to die.
And Zhang Xianzhong also laughed when he heard Zhang Kewang say this: "What are you doing so nervously, how many big scenes have I encountered over the years, but in the end it is not easy to deal with, there is no problem, there is absolutely no problem, and the Royal Forest Army around us is not a vegetarian!" ”
It's just that although Zhang Xianzhong looks very optimistic, he was actually forced to a dead end by the loyal battalion and the Yue Ming army before he decided to go out in person, and Zhang Kewang persuaded again: "Father doesn't have to take such a risk, everything is borne by the sons, it is better to let the sons and daughters go to find out!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong patted Zhang Kewang's shoulder and said: "Kewang is very ambitious, but in terms of vision, the entire Great Western Kingdom is not as unique as mine, as long as I personally go out, let alone a loyal battalion, even if the Chengtian Dynasty attacks the whole country, I can find a flaw at a glance and easily break it!" ”
In the past, Zhang Xianzhong was not so credible or even arrogant.
But after he became the emperor of Daxi, although everything did not go well, the people around him revolved around him every day, and the voice of the consecration never stopped, and the Daxi Army can have today is also the credit of him Zhang Xianzhong alone, so Zhang Xianzhong feels more and more that he is great and even to the point of transcendent sainthood.
Therefore, Zhang Kewang's persuasion strengthened Zhang Xianzhong's confidence to go out in person, and he must now go out in person.
After Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, the Great Western Dynasty went downhill, although a group of people around him tried their best to coax Zhang Xianzhong to be happy, but now there are complaints are not ordinary Daxi soldiers, even Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are complaining.
And these rumors have more or less reached Zhang Xianzhong's ears, Zhang Xianzhong feels that he must impress these blind people and let them know what the real son of heaven is!
So he had to go out himself!
Although the current loyal battalion is not exhausted, but it is indeed close to exhausting its strength, almost all the troops that can be transferred to the vicinity of Yiling to defend the stronghold, when He Tengjiao sent troops to Wuchang, the loyal battalion scavenged out the soldiers and horses that could fight, and only gathered 300 people, and finally relied on the support of the township soldiers, volunteers and the horse team of the Yue Ming army to repel He Tengjiao's attack.
For Zhang Kewang and Zhang Kewang, these generals, they feel that there are indeed many flaws in the defense line of the loyal battalion, but finding the flaws does not mean that it can be converted into victory, the loyal battalion can always put in reserves at a critical moment to plug the flaws, and more importantly, the Chengtian Emperor Liu Yongxi has led a large army to Jingzhou, and Hao Shaoqi also led the loyal town to Jingzhou, plus the loyal brigade left by Bai Wang, the news of the remnants of the three-way Dashun army has greatly boosted the morale of the loyal battalion.
And now that Zhang Xianzhong has personally gone out, he naturally wants to find the real flaw in the defense line of the loyal camp with a different perspective from mortals, but it is a pity that his emperor's chariot and dragon robe cannot be worn in front of the formation, and although he said that he wanted to take the Imperial Forest Army with him, in fact, there were only dozens of elite cavalry around him.
Zhang Xianzhong felt that such a situation was very unsuitable, but he also knew that if he wore a dragon robe and brought the Imperial Forest Army, the loyal battalion on the opposite side would find out his movements as soon as possible and begin to mobilize troops and horses, no matter how unique his vision was, it would end in defeat.
Now Zhang Xianzhong is no longer the Emperor of Onishi, but a standard leader of thieves.
It's just that although he has only been an emperor for a year, he can't bear the kind of hardships he used to have, he always feels a little reluctant to walk up the mountain road, and his physical strength is not as good as before.
But now Zhang Xianzhong is already difficult to ride a tiger, after all, the entire Western Army is counting on Zhang Xianzhong to create a miracle to win the entire Huguang this time, but Zhang Xianzhong suddenly feels that he is old, obviously he can see the flaws at a glance in the past, and now he always feels that there is still a bit of a problem, and he has to take his own soldiers to find better fighters.
But Zhang Xianzhong didn't know that his every move was already under the control of the loyalty camp, and now Tian Jianxiu confirmed the target in front of him in the clairvoyant mirror: "Your Majesty is really expecting the enemy like a god, this is the Yellow Tiger!" ”
"Yellow Tiger" is Zhang Xianzhong's nickname, many times it is louder than Zhang Xianzhong's name, and Hao Shaoqi, who is next to Tian Jianxiu, is also very excited: "That's right, it is indeed Yellow Tiger, this is a real big tiger!" ”
Although the Yue Ming army now has a relative advantage on the battlefield, considering that Azig's 100,000 Qing army is eyeing the north, and the Great Western Army is also the elite of the Great West, the Chengtian Dynasty is thinking about ending the battle at the lowest cost, so Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi both feel that although Liu Yongxi's plan is too wishful thinking, it can be tried.
But no one expected that after Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor of Daxi, he still maintained the good tradition of taking the lead and personally going into battle to reconnoitre!
Emperor Liu Yongxi of Chengtian was able to rise up and achieve a great cause, and he really had incredible magical powers, and he actually guessed that Zhang Xianzhong would definitely personally lead the team to reconnoitre.
This made Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi feel that since they had caught the big tiger, they must fight to the death, and they couldn't miss such a God-given opportunity.
This is the Emperor of Onishi! As long as Zhang Xianzhong is killed, he will be prosperous and rich for several lifetimes!
Wang Puxiang, who has been promoted to five levels in a row, is the best example, so whether it is Tian Jianxiu, Hao Shaoqi or Xing Shengping, they are all extremely excited, Tian Jianxiu first said: "You can't startle the snake, there is only one chance!" ”
Although Zhang Xianzhong still maintains the tradition of taking the lead and leading dozens of horsemen to personally reconnoiter in front of the battle, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is frightened, there will be no second chance, and Hao Shaoqi said with great certainty: "We have to find a way to let Huang Hu come over, as long as I come over, I will have a chance to kill him!" ”
Hao Shaoqi was already so excited that he wanted to kill him, but since Zhang Xianzhong had become the emperor of Daxi, he kept at least half a mile away from the camp of the loyal camp, and he was surrounded by horse teams that could not rush forward rashly, and Xing Shengping had already thought about what to do: "Why don't we make a cannibalistic show and invite Huang Hu over, Huang Hu's time is running out!" ”
Tian Jianxiu and Hao Shaoqi understood what Xing Shengping meant when he said that "there is not much time for the Yellow Tiger", that is, since the main force of the Yue Ming Army has arrived in Jingzhou, although it has not yet arrived near Yiling, the offensive of the Great Western Army is about to be unable to continue, Zhang Xianzhong must hurry up if he wants to open up the situation, otherwise he will sit and wait for the main force of the Yue Ming Army to arrive.
Since Zhang Xianzhong doesn't have much time, everyone must seize the time to create opportunities for him.
Now Zhang Xianzhong really feels that he is old, although he has not been on the battlefield for a year, but the situation on this battlefield is almost incomprehensible, and he has not found any fatal shortcomings in the defense line of the loyal battalion for a long time, but Zhang Xianzhong was thinking about whether to change the direction when he heard the sound of fighting in the camp in front of him!
There was not only the sound of fighting, but also the sound of roars, swords and swords, gunfire, and I don't know what happened in this camp, Zhang Xianzhong's leader of the Imperial Forest Army was already anxious: "Your Majesty, there is an accident in front, please retreat first!" ”
But Zhang Xianzhong suddenly found self-confidence, he felt that he was the true son of heaven, after all, everyone around him said that he was destined to be the true son of heaven in the past year, and he could always turn evil into good fortune at a critical time: "Breaking into the camp is unbearable, so I will kill each other, sure enough, the destiny is in me, and the Great Western Dynasty is destined to be immortal!" ”
