Volume 1 Chapter 45 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Zhu Gaoxu used his hand to break it, only then did he break Geng Bingwen's hand that was holding the blade of the knife, and then pulled the Yanling knife out of Geng Bingwen's neck. The veteran's words before he died made Zhu Gaoxu feel a little uncomfortable for a moment!

Speaking of which, everyone is their own person, and they are also related to each other. Now hundreds of thousands of people are gathered here to kill each other, just like some deep hatred, but most of them don't know each other, and they have no grievances!

The discomfort was only for a moment, and soon Zhu Gaoxu couldn't take care of it, his own life was still hanging in the air!

He picked up Geng Bingwen's helmet and ornate scabbard, and found a roll of things on Geng Bingwen's body, and then casually stuffed them into his armor.

When Zhu Gaoxu stood up, he saw that a group of knights of the Southern Army in front of him had already dismounted, and in the face of Geng Bingwen's corpse, he knelt there motionless, as if he was ready to be killed. The Yan soldiers did not have time to slaughter and kill those people, and went straight to the ground to pick up a handsome flag.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the location where Wang Bin had fallen off his horse, and saw that Wang Bin's hands and feet were still moving, so he immediately shouted: "The pro-army of the honor guard, bring Wang Bin to me!" He then said, "The soldiers of the Yan Army, you must not cut Geng Bingwen's head, and leave him with his whole body!" ”

He picked up a spear and tied one of Geng Bingwen's handsome flags and helmet to it. At this time, the soldiers brought the third horse, Zhu Gaoxu turned over on the horse, raised his spear, and shouted: "Geng Bingwen, the commander of the official army, has been beheaded by me!" The handsome Geng Bingwen is dead......"

All the soldiers and soldiers shouted one after another: "The handsome Geng Bingwen is dead!" "The handsome Geng Bingwen is dead!"

Everyone shouted and rushed north. A large number of officers and men of the Southern Army turned their heads to look at the commander's flag and helmet, and when they heard the shouting, many of them showed frustration and sadness on their faces, and their morale was very low. When the soldiers of the Southern Army saw the iron cavalry rushing towards them, many of them began to dodge.

Zhu Gaoxu then led his troops to fight bravely and swept north to break through.

The progress of the frontal Yan army was slow, and there were countless rounds of fighting, but at this moment, they suddenly collapsed several phalanxes in front of the official army! Among the hosts, morale is often the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately seized the fighter plane, shouted the words "Geng Bingwen is dead", and used his last strength to rush to kill.

After a long hard battle, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry and the frontal Yan army flanked back and forth, and finally broke through a narrow gap, and he immediately shouted: "Order the whole army, immediately break through from the red flag!" ”

"Order!"

The troops rushed to kill while waiting for the horse teams of Zhang Wuzuo's battalion to pour out of the gap one after another.

After waiting for a while, some of the Blue Banner cavalry also rushed over, and less than half of them were left. Zhu Gaoxu tried his best to look into the distance, only to see the officers and sabers and guns like a forest, and the soldiers and horses were surging. After Zhang Wu's men and horses retreated, the officers and troops against him had no resistance and soon filled the entire area......

Zhu Gaoxu was exhausted at this time, and his subordinates were also suffering heavy casualties, where did he still have the strength and ability to save his brother who couldn't come out?

He looked up to the sky and sighed, and could only look back while walking north.

Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry suffered countless losses, the organization collapsed, and it was already a mess, so he had to ride north and leave the battlefield with all his might. At this moment, King Yan came with an iron horseman.

King Yan stared at the tiger, first glanced at the handsome flag and helmet in Zhu Gaoxu's hand, and then looked up and down at Zhu Gaoxu, who was covered in tatters and blood. King Yan slapped his horse and rode alone in front of Zhu Gaoxu, stretched out his hand to grab Zhu Gaoxu's arm, and said, "I am brave!" Geng Bingwen, Sheng Yong, and Ping'an led the elite soldiers to attack on three sides, and I ordered Qiu Fu to respond, for fear that I wouldn't be able to get out! ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened and said: "Yes, I see, I still wonder how there are pits everywhere when I rush in!

He opened his mouth, and countless emotions came to his heart, fear, anger, and regret for the rest of his life...... All at once he couldn't say anything.

King Yan said: "Gao Xu, you go to the formation first, and then talk about it later." ”

"The retainers take the order." Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists, only to find that his hands had been shaking unobediently.

Zhu Gaoxu continued to walk north with the tired rebels, and the generals around King Yan hugged their fists to him one after another, showing awe: "King Gaoyang!" "King ...... Goyang"

The eyes of the generals looking at Zhu Gaoxu at this time were completely different from before. He looked tired, nodded from time to time, and clenched his fists in response.

At this time, the voice of King Yan came from a distance behind him: "Sheng Yong, this thief, is helping to abuse!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu had no intention of paying attention to the decisive battle under the city of Zhending, and led his men and horses straight to the camp of the station.

When he arrived at the place, he immediately asked someone to carry Wang Bin to the bed, and while passing on the military to him, he carefully removed his armor and clothes for Wang Bin with his own hands.

He was not a doctor in his previous life, but he still knew basic common sense, such as the awareness of disinfection, foreign bodies will suppurate in wounds, suturing wounds to speed up healing, and so on. When undressing, the most important thing is to carefully observe whether there are any fragments left in the wound.

Wang Bin was wearing heavy armor, but the fire gun was a few steps away, and the armor-piercing was also quite sharp, and the iron pill had already pierced the armor and sunk into the flesh!

With the help of Lang Zhong, Zhu Gaoxu and others stripped off Wang Bin's clothes. Wang Bin actually had five wounds on his chest! It's just that he didn't penetrate the chest cavity and hurt his internal organs, otherwise how could he still move!

"Lord Wang......" Wang Bin can still speak.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Brother doesn't need to speak. You protect me with your life, and in the future I will have glory and wealth, and your whole family will have it! ”

"Go boil the water!" Zhu Gaoxu turned around.

Lang Zhong treated the wound, Zhu Gaoxu ignored the bruises everywhere on his body, watched the whole process, and ordered Lang Zhong to take out the iron pill with a boiled tool and wash the wound repeatedly with boiled water.

At this time, the medical conditions were limited, and the iron pill did not hurt the internal organs, and everything may not be fine; Whether you can survive the wound infection depends only on Wang Bin's life!

…… As the sun gradually set over the horizon, the Yan army returned to the major military camps one after another. Zhu Gaoxu heard a lot of news, and connected with it, probably because although the Yan army had a slight upper hand and made the official army pay the price of 20,000 or 30,000 casualties, it did not completely defeat the main force of the official army.

Among them, there are some rumors that the officers and troops were routed, and fled into Zhending City in a hurry, and the people and horses trampled on each other, and the casualties were not counted. Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was not very credible, if the official army really "collapsed", then it would definitely not be a matter of 20,000 or 30,000 dead and wounded!

There are a lot of officers and infantry, and in this situation where the two sides are already close to a decisive battle, if there is a complete collapse, will there still be 100,000 people who can enter the city? More than 100,000 people are in chaos, crowding the city gate, what kind of scene, Zhu Gaoxu knows it when he thinks about it! What's more, there are tens of thousands of Yan troops behind to cover up.

So he judged that it was precisely because King Yan failed to win a big victory today that everyone lived in tents instead of in Zhending City.

At this moment, someone suddenly came, ordering Zhu Gaoxu to immediately go to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters. He changed his clothes, and his armor was temporarily gone, so he hurried to the Chinese army.

The horror of war is that tens of thousands of people can die in a single day, in a place where the projectile is large. The Yan army also paid a heavy price, just the Yan Wang's left guard horse team led by Zhu Gaoxu, the cavalry casualties were probably no less than a thousand!

But when he approached the tent, he heard the laughter of "haha......" coming from inside. Anyway, after all, the propaganda routine of killing the commander of the enemy army in World War I, killing countless people, and winning a complete victory is a must, which can boost the morale of the Yan army and make everyone believe that the rebellion will succeed!

Zhu Gaoxu walked in, all the generals looked sideways, and the laughter stopped, and from time to time someone praised: "The head of the general in the army of King Gaoyang is really brave!" "King Yan has a tiger, like a tiger with wings......"

He stepped forward to salute King Yan first, and paid close attention to it, and sure enough, he noticed that King Yan's face seemed to be happy, but his eyes were still full of worry.

Not to mention King Yan, even Zhu Gaoxu understands that if he can't take the real decision, the Yan army is still trapped in the Beiping area, and even the Hutuo River can't break through; And with this kind of fighting, the Yan army can't consume the official army at all...... Geng Bingwen originally had more than 100,000 troops, but the Ming Dynasty had more than 100,000 troops?

At this time, King Yan's voice said: "Gao Xu should not give up the first merit of this battle." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said in his heart: I am already the king of the county, what is the use of military merits? From the king of the county upwards, he is a prince, but this has nothing to do with military exploits, only with birth. There is only one way, Daddy is the emperor!

He immediately said: "Father, Wang Bin and Wei Da of the hundred households are in front of the ......."

King Yan looked back and said with a smile: "I can fight and command the army, so I am in a hurry to ask for credit for my subordinates!" I have a high heart, like an extra arm. ”

The generals had to laugh together for a while.

Zhu Gaoxu thought about the two Qianzhong Yan Wang's old subordinates, and immediately said: "Qianhu Chen Gang and other generals, after breaking through the siege, they are brave and do not hesitate to die, otherwise the sons and ministers will be killed safely." Thousands of households Zhang Wu fought to the death and did not retreat, supporting the middle road, so that the Erchen army was spared the danger of division. These two people have made great contributions!

If it weren't for the generals' lives, the sons would not be able to behead the Marquis of Changxing, and even their lives and the soldiers of the whole army would probably be lost in the encirclement. ”

Although Chen Wu criticized Zhu Gaochu behind his back, Zhu Gaochu didn't want to care about it...... There was no real grudge in the first place, and they just crawled out of the pile of dead people together, and they saw everything! Zhu Gaoxu felt that after he established his prestige in the army, Chen Wu should be convinced.

After hearing this, King Yan said: "Those who have merit, I will be rewarded and promoted by the Chinese army, and you just let them wait for the news." ”

Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists and said, "Erchen obeys." ”

King Yan asked the generals again, what is the best strategy for attacking Zhending? Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others said some ideas, but King Yan was noncommittal...... At present, the official army is guarding the city, and the Yan army is not carrying siege equipment, so there is no way to talk about attacking the city, who can plan any siege strategy?

What's more, with the current men and horses of the Yan army, the number is still not as good as the officials and troops in Zhending City, even if there are siege weapons, how can this comparison of forces be able to attack the city?

Everyone discussed in the big tent of the Chinese army for a while, and they were all tired, so King Yan waved his hand and asked the generals to go back to the camp, but he looked at Zhu Gaoxu: "Gaoxu, you accompany me to walk nearby." ”
