"Bell!" Zhu Gaoxu sent a brand-new Yanling knife to the scabbard, which was inlaid with gold, which was very beautiful. His sword was always new, because it was more likely to be broken on the battlefield.

Wang Gui bent over, padded a new long-handled horse knife with a white handkerchief, and held it next to Zhu Gaoxu with both hands. Zhu Gaoxu also took it, wiped the butter on the knife with the white handkerchief, and slowly put it into the scabbard on his back against the bronze mirror.

"Lord Wang......" Wang Gui's voice was quite sad, "It's cold, you have to take care!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said casually: "The soldiers can also stand it, why can't I stand it?" ”

Although in the past two years, King Yan has continued to achieve great victories, but Bingfeng has hardly been able to break through Hebei, at most to Shandong; There are fewer sites that can actually be stably controlled. At this time, if King Yan made any mistakes, Zhu Gaoxu felt that the risk of the Battle of Jingjing was extremely great! Besides, Princess Xu has spoken, can he not go?

When Zhu Gaoxu was ready, he walked out of the door and walked through the hall. There was a group of soldiers standing in the snow, so he looked at Wang Bin and said, "Gather our men and horses, only cavalry." Summons the general of the chickens and gathers all the vassals. I'll go to King Yan's Mansion to see my mother first. ”

"The last general obeys!" Wang Bin bowed.

Zhu Gaoxu put on his helmet, turned over on his horse, and rode out of the stairs with Chen Dazhui and others, and went straight to Yanwang's mansion.

When he came to the main gate of Yanwang's Mansion, he was not stopped and went straight inside. When entering the middle gatehouse, Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to take the waist knife, anyway, King Yan was not in the mansion, and it didn't matter if he had a weapon.

The eunuch took Zhu Gaoxu to Princess Xu's courtyard. He walked to the door of a room, and saw that the door was closed, and there was a faint light inside, so he said outside the door: "My son and my mother meet my mother." ”

Princess Xu's voice said, "Gao Xu, come in." ”

Zhu Gaoxu pushed open the door and walked from the cold air outside, he suddenly felt a warm air on his face, and the room was very warm.

"Bang dang ......" When Zhu Gaoxu walked into the room wearing heavy armor, he saw that the prince, the princess, and Xu Miaojin were all inside. He beckoned again, "The eldest brother, sister-in-law, and little aunt are also here!" ”

"The second uncle is so powerful!" Zhang's Road.

Shizi sat still, and also spoke: "The second brother has to go on the expedition again." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I heard that my father was in a hurry, so I had to set off quickly. ”

He looked at Xu Miaojin and saw that Xu Miaojin's eyes were also on him, so he nodded to her slightly, but Xu Miaojin suddenly turned his face away slightly, and his cheeks were slightly red because of the roasting fire.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Mother, my sons have come to say goodbye...... The letter from the front, does it say the specific location of the father? ”

Princess Xu took out the letter, put it on the next few cases, and said with a sad face, "Your father failed to attack Sheng Yong in Dongchang City, and Zhang Yu was also killed...... The army had no choice but to retreat to the west and retreat to the pavilion for rectification. At that time, Sheng Yong led his troops to the west, and your father was ready to return north first; Unexpectedly, Ping An and Wu Jie intercepted from the north and south. Ping An is in Wei County, and Wu Jie is in Shenzhou.

Our soldiers fought one after another, and it seems that they have suffered a big loss in Dongchang, and the men and horses are tired, and I am very worried. Gao Xu went to answer it! ”

"The retainers take the order." Zhu Gaoxu said, "At the end of last year, my father used a divisive strategy to make the imperial court transfer Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin in Liaodong, although there is only the general Yang Wen left in Liaodong, after all, there are still many soldiers. Erchen now takes away nearly 5,000 cavalry soldiers, the mother concubine and the eldest brother, and they must be careful of Liaodong. ”

The prince said: "Father is important, you can rest assured that the cavalry will be taken away." ”

Princess Xu also nodded.

Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to take the letter, then clasped his fists and bowed: "I'm leaving." ”

"Gao Xu, you have to be cautious and be careful." Princess Xu said.

Zhu Gaoxu turned around and walked out of the door.

…… Weixian, Shenzhou, between Dezhou, Zhending, and Hejian Fu, and now Dezhou and other places are estimated to have been taken back by the official army, so Ping An and others will intercept them in that place.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Jingjing, Dezhou and other places have changed hands many times, and it is estimated that the people in the city cannot figure out which side is ruling these places.

Zhu Gaoxu led more than 1,000 cavalry from his headquarters and more than 3,000 cavalry from his domain.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: There is a war going on in the river, and it is estimated that the city has long been under martial law, and the cavalry raid is estimated to be useless. However, Wu Jie, who is far from the north, may not know whether Beiping will come to reinforce the army, and his attention is on King Yan's side, so he can take advantage of his unpreparedness to fight first!

And Wu Jie may be easier to deal with than Ping'an! Wu Jie turned out to be An Luhou, but because of his poor performance in several battles such as Zhending and Baigouhe, he has been demoted to the commander of Wei, and he is estimated to be capable.

So Zhu Gaoxu made up his mind and took advantage of the camp to rest, and asked the generals of various departments to discuss.

After the men and horses rested, Zhu Gaoxu arranged the battle sequence, decided to start on Chinese New Year's Eve, and ordered the generals to start fighting directly after arriving at the battlefield.

…… On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the joyful atmosphere of Chinese New Year's Eve was completely absent from the icy and snowy wilderness. Chinese New Year's Eve has no firecrackers, red lanterns, and reunion dinner, which is just an ordinary day.

The horse's hooves trampled on the snow, and there was a lot of movement in the near distance; However, the snow cushioned the impact on the ground, which was not easy to hear from a distance.

According to the pre-arrangement, the chicken's feudal cavalry was the first to rush to the enemy camp! When Zhu Gaoxu led the crowd to approach the battlefield, he found that the official camp was in a hurry and chaotic, and he didn't even have a scout to discover his men and horses in advance!

He temporarily changed his mind and shouted: "Order, the pro-army and Wang Binqian's corps follow me and hit the front!" ”

"Order!"

On the snowy earth, a fluttering red flag looks particularly delicate.

The cavalry approached the front of the official camp in a goose-shaped formation, immediately divided into two groups, swept at the two wings, and then charged to the rear camp! Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to follow closely and rushed towards the official and military camp.

The distance was getting closer, and countless horses' hooves began to accelerate.

The "rumbling ......" war horses running hard are even stronger, and the huge sound seems to be winter thunder.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his cherry gun and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The armies echoed in unison, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth: "Kill ......"

This was the message of the charge, and countless iron horsemen with cherry guns rushed straight to the official army camp at the speed of arrows.

......Zhu Gaoxu led the Red Banner soldiers to break through the chaotic phalanx, screaming one after another from all sides. In the middle barracks, many soldiers were still running out of their tents, and they were immediately facing the condescending assassination of the cavalry.

The weather is indeed too cold, and the soldiers try to stay in the tent during the day, not to mention that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Gaoxu does not talk about morality at all, and he will talk about it first...... and Yan Wang learned. King Yan can choose Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhu Gaoxu can choose Chinese New Year's Eve.

The cavalry slaughtered into the barracks, rarely encountered decent resistance, the officers and soldiers fled one after another, and those who were chased and killed were not counted.

Between several barracks, like a flood of ice and snow suddenly melting, countless iron horsemen rushed from the middle, and arrows flew into the official barracks like hail. The feudal cavalry carried a scimitar, and Zhu Gaoxu's men and horses rushed into the camp with cherry spears and horse knives, slashing and pursuing.

Countless officers and soldiers fled outside the camp, and the snow was full of black-spotted people, as if ink had been splashed on snow-white rice paper.

……

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, King Yan led a large number of foot cavalry and was fighting with the infantry deployed safely. At this time, suddenly a cavalry made a detour and rushed towards the army, shouting loudly: "King Gaoyang defeated Wu Jie in the north!" King Gaoyang defeated Wu Jie, beheaded countless people, and reinforcements came! ”

Suddenly, the morale of the Yan army soldiers on the battlefield everywhere was greatly boosted, and they were shouting on all sides: "King Gaoyang is here!" ”

King Yan heard the shouts of the soldiers one after another, and when he listened to it for a while, he turned his head to look at Qiu Fu and the others, and said: "Gao Xu is really brave, I just knew that he was coming for reinforcements, but he directly killed Wu Jie!" ”

Zhu Neng hugged his fists and said: "The prince has a new horse team that is recuperated, and he will be able to defeat Ping'an!" ”

Qiu Fu also showed a pleased expression: "Every time the King of Gaoyang can reinforce the prince in time, in terms of loyalty and bravery, he is still the king of Gaoyang." ”

"Hmm......" King Yan nodded, and when he heard the soldiers in the distance still shouting King Gaoyang, he pondered and looked at it for a while.

At this time, King Yan patted his horse and said: "Take advantage of the morale to be uplifted, and break the peace in one fell swoop!" ”

"Order!" The generals hugged their fists.

…… Zhu Gaoxu led the crowd to approach the great array of Ping'an, and the army of Ping'an was mobilizing and turning.

"Peace without cavalry?" Zhu Gaoxu saw the situation clearly, looked back and said, "As far as I know, Ping An makes good use of cavalry, and the infantry can't figure out tricks, so let's go all out!" ”

The crowd listened and agreed.

The phalanx of Ping'an cloth is indeed very dull, that is, the phalanx is set apart, and there is no ingenuity at all.

Zhu Gaoxu's large horse team gradually approached Ping'an's rear camp at a jogging speed, and saw that a square formation on the west side was beaten by the frontal infantry of the Yan army, and the formation was faintly turbulent.

"Order, the whole army to attack the right flank! Order General Chicken, protect me on the left and right! Zhu Gaoxu decisively ordered.

In the past two years, Zhu Gaoxu has also fought a lot of battles himself, and he has become more and more experienced. With his experience, the main thing to look at is the opportunity first, and look at the fighter! The key is that he is fierce and can increase the morale of the whole army a lot.

The iron cavalry began to rush again, and the tactical mobility of the cavalry simply crushed the infantry, and it was quickly able to detour from the rear camp directly to the right flank of Ping'an.

"Kill!" Zhu Gaoxu roared, pointed at the cherry gun, and the soldiers were like arrows off the string, heading straight away.

Poor Ping'an, he can only watch, he has no cavalry in his hand, even if he understands Zhu Gaoxu's intentions, he can't temporarily and quickly reinforce!

Wu Jie, who was originally able to cope with safety in the north, now doesn't know where to flee. Zhu Gaoxu thought of Ping'an's playful virtue, and then looked at the sad situation of his army now, and there was a faint sense of extra happiness in his heart.

But soon Zhu Gaoxu found that he was gnawing hard bones!

The cavalry rushed several times, but the official and military phalanx did not collapse, and withstood the flank attack with large shields and spears. Zhu Gaoxu immediately led his army to escape, looking for an opportunity to try to break through, and the battle continued until dusk.

The sky was getting darker, and the infantry offensive power of the official army was lackluster, but Zhu Gaoxu cooperated with King Yan's men and horses, and did not achieve much success.
