Chapter 363: On the eve of the Great War

Zhu Hao was outside Erlang Pass, and after hearing the news that Fan Hu had withdrawn from Erlang Pass, he clenched his fists and led his troops into Erlang Pass.

However, what Zhu Hao didn't expect was that when he entered Erlang Pass, his butt was not yet hot, and someone began to call for battle after Erlang Pass.

When Zhu Hao heard the news, he hurriedly climbed the city wall of Erlang Pass, which made Zhu Hao gasp, and the enemy army outside Erlang Pass did not feel that the camp tent had completely blocked the official road to Chongqing.

And at this moment, it was Fan Hu who had just been defeated, and when Zhu Hao had just climbed the city wall, the east was already white.

Fan Hu looked at Zhu Hao in the city, and scolded even when he broke his mouth:

"Zhu Hao, you despicable villain, you swiped conspiracies and tricks to seize Erlang Pass, what kind of ability are you!"

"You have the ability to fight Ben for three hundred rounds!"

"I'm going to fight you!"

Zhu Hao listened to Fan Hu's words, sneered and said:

"You want to fight this king?"

"Is this still a decision?"

"The rooster will only crow in the morning, and the hen will crow when it is fine, you say who is male and female?"

"And you are embarrassed to say that this king is playing tricks, you are supporting Liaodong, forcibly seizing Chongqing, killing officials, if you want to say that this king is playing tricks, it is also learned from you!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Hao's words, the angry Fan Hu was itchy at all, and he was ordered to guard Chongqing.

As a result, as soon as the war started, he lost the important level of Erlang Pass, which made him feel very angry in his heart.

And Zhu Hao's unkind remarks were like adding fuel to the fire, which made the anger in Fan Hu's heart even more intense, and Fan Hu was now eager to attack Erlang Pass and take Zhu Hao's life.

However, Fan Hu knew that Erlang Guancheng was thick and thick, and if he really attacked it, he was not sure at all, so he could only continue to scold:

"Zhu Hao, if you have the ability, go down!"

"You turtle son who hasn't grown all the hair, you will definitely break your turtle shell when you come down!"

"You Ming people, all of them are turtle grandchildren!"

Fan Hu's words, but the scope of the attack was too wide, he didn't know that he scolded Zhu Hao, scolded the royal family, and scolded the entire Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Hao angry in his heart.

However, Zhu Hao now, he doesn't know the reality of the other party, he doesn't dare to attack rashly, because he is responsible for the lives of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and it is impossible to do a battle of will.

Although Zhu Hao had no impulse and ordered to directly open the city to face the battle, Zhu Hao would not let go of this cheap-mouthed Fan Hu, and he immediately shouted:

"Where is Lin Chong?"

When Lin Chong, who was beside Zhu Hao, heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said:

"The last general!"

Zhu Hao listened to Lin Chong's answer, and didn't look at Lin Chong, his face sank like water, and he saw that this was still under the city, and Fan Hu, who was insulting endlessly, shouted:

"Go and transfer your artillery to the city, I was going to send this cheap guy a hundred big flowers!"

When Lin Chong heard this, he hurriedly spoke:

"The last general commands!"

Lin Chong said and went to the city to prepare, and in about a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen red-clothed cannons were transported to the city wall.

Zhu Hao watched the artillery preparations, and said directly:

"Ignition, fire!"

"Blow up this guy for this king!"

"Let him see who is male and female!"

With Zhu Hao's order issued, more than ten red-clothed cannons made a thunderous roar, which was like the sound of heaven and earth, which immediately made the war horses under the city panic, and the formation was chaotic.

Zhu Hao saw that the opponent's formation was chaotic, so he asked Xu Chu Dianwei to lead the Chinese army to ride tigers and leopards, out of the city to cover the killing, after a rush to kill, Zhu Hao was afraid that the enemy army would have a backhand, so he Mingjin retreated.

Zhu Hao's series of actions, Fan Hu was caught off guard, he didn't expect that Zhu Hao would say that he would fight, and there was no warning at all.

In fact, Zhu Hao really didn't plan to send cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy at first, but Zhu Hao watched the roar of the red-clothed cannon, which made the opponent's formation chaotic, so he temporarily decided to let the cavalry attack.

That's it, be improvised!

Fan Hu's call made him return with a fiasco, and Fan Hu saw that he had lost his morale, so he could only withdraw his troops from Mingjin, and then set up camp under Erlang Pass, and began a confrontation with Zhu Hao.

In the following period, the two sides engaged in more than a dozen exploratory battles, winning and losing each other, but did not engage in a large-scale decisive battle.

After this period of temptation, Zhu Hao already knew that this Fan Hu was a brave and unscrupulous person, and at the same time, Tanma had also found out that there were no ambushes around.

Zhu Hao had already begun to make up his mind to prepare for a decisive battle, and on this day Zhu Hao summoned Wei Xiaobao and asked:

"Xiaobao, you informed General Qin Liangyu to attack Fotu Pass, why hasn't there been any movement at this moment?"

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Because of Zhu Hao's inquiry, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, nothing has changed, it's just that some time ago, His Highness was a tentative attack, General Qin Liangyu was afraid, His Highness couldn't contain Fan Hu's army on this side, so she fell into passivity!"

"That's why it's late, and I didn't attack Fotu Pass!"

"But she has already promised her minions that as long as Her Highness fights with Fan Hu, she will sneak attack Fotu Pass in the rear to clear the obstacles for Her Highness to enter Chongqing!"

Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's words, and understood that Qin Liangyu was afraid of him and used his troops as cannon fodder, so he didn't make a move.

However, standing in the other party's position, Zhu Hao can understand Qin Liangyu's thoughts, after all, no one wants to look at his subordinates and act as cannon fodder for others.

Therefore, after Wei Xiaobao's words were finished, Zhu Hao bowed slightly, and did not reproach anything, but said:

"Xiaobao, you inform Qin Liangyu that in three days, this king and Fan Hu will have a decisive battle!"

"Let him seize the Fotu Pass, cut off Fan Hu's back road, this king will close the door and fight the dog, and annihilate the main force of the enemy army in one fell swoop!"

Wei Xiaobao listened to Zhu Hao's words, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said:

"Minions command!"

"The minion is going to inform General Qin Liangyu!"

Zhu Hao asked his head when he heard this, waved his hand to let Wei Xiaobao go down, and then summoned Xu Chu and other four generals to start the decisive battle deployment in three days.

Zhu Hao ordered Gao Shun to lead the 40,000 troops of the front army to the camp, as the main force of this decisive battle, and gradually break through to cover and kill the enemy.

At the same time, Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the Apocalypse Rifle Battalion of the headquarters to cover from the left and right flanks.

After the end of the war, the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Chinese army and the light cavalry on the left and right flanks cleaned up the battlefield and cleared the remnants of the enemy.

The rear army led by Lin Chong did not have an offensive mission this time, and its task was mainly to garrison Erlang Pass, and once the attack was unfavorable, the troops could be able to withdraw to Erlang Pass smoothly.

After Zhu Hao arranged the combat tasks of each department, he ordered the four generals to go down to prepare for the pre-war mobilization.
