Chapter 14 Fighting Chen Hongfan Again

It's dawn.

When Zhang Xuan attacked Huangzhuang, it was already the second half of the night. After taking care of the prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield, it was already dawn.

After dawn, the first news Zhang Xuan received was bad news.

"My lord, I, Luo Dai, didn't leave Chen Hongfan, and I deserve death." Luo Dai knelt in front of Zhang Xuan with a low face.

Zhang Xuan helped Luo Dai up and said, "What do you say about not dying." What the hell is going on? ”

Luo Dai just said the battle just now.

Luo Dai underestimated the other party and overestimated himself.

Although Chen Hongfan does not have a beautiful record, he is not a soft persimmon that can be broken by pinching, and Luo Dai also regarded his subordinates as the Chinese army of Cao Ying, although Zhang Xuan's personal guards were elite soldiers drawn from various departments, but compared with Cao Ying's Chinese army, the difference was too far.

If Luo Dai's subordinates were Cao Yingzhong's army, they would definitely be able to leave Chen Hongfan behind in the first battle.

As soon as the two sides fought, Luo Dai knew that something was wrong, Luo Dai found that more than a dozen people in his department fell off the horse, you must know that Luo Dai's subordinates only had more than 100 horses, and more than a dozen fell off the horse, nearly one-fifth, and Luo Dai was also experienced, so he temporarily withdrew the men and horses, and Chen Hongfan wanted to escape, and did not pursue, otherwise how many of Zhang Xuan's more than 100 horses could stay is still unknown.

Zhang Xuan comforted Luo Dai after hearing this, and said: "Knowing what the problem is, it is also a benefit, and it will be good to train students in the future." ”

Luo Dai gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will train this group of rabbits well." ”

Luo Dai has a strong nature, and today's defeat in his opinion is a great shame, even if Zhang Xuan does not punish him, he will not feel good in his heart, from today onwards, Zhang Xuan's personal guards will be more comfortable.

"Sister." Zhang Xuan suddenly heard a terrible shout outside, which was Huang Xu's voice. Zhang Xuan comforted Luo Dai and walked over, but saw Huang Xu holding a woman, crying sadly.

This woman is disheveled, her body has this somewhat stiff posture, it seems that she is dead, Zhang Xuan suddenly understood what was going on, this woman may be Huang Xu's sister, she committed suicide because she lost her virginity.

Zhang Xuan sighed, didn't go to comfort Huang Xu, thinking about Huang Xu's sister's matter, it was definitely not a single incident, his face instantly turned cold, and said, "Suppress all the captives on the threshing floor." ”

Zhang Xuan gave an order, and about one or two thousand people were surrounded on the threshing floor.

In the fierce battle last night, there were not many casualties in Zhang Xuan's department, there were probably dozens of people, Zhang Xuan had just seen it, and there were not many casualties among the officers and soldiers, there were probably hundreds of people, and hundreds of people fled, some escaped with the cavalry, and some escaped over the wall, and they all fled anyway. Of course, there is also the national situation of my Ming Dynasty, that is, an army of 3,000 people, if there are really 3,000 people, it is a strange thing.

Only a thousand prisoners remained. was pressed by Zhang Xuan's subordinates, and all weapons were confiscated.

Zhang Xuan called Huang Xu over and said: "Let the villagers recognize people, and all those who kill, injure, or rape or adulterate women will be beheaded to sue the people of Huangzhuang." ”

When Huang Xu heard this, he said, "Thank you, my lord." ”

Huang Xu immediately went down to find someone.

The people of Huangzhuang were afraid of Zhang Xuan and others, but he was not afraid of Huang Xu, under the instigation of Huang Xu, countless people came to recognize people, and for a while I don't know how many soldiers were selected from the crowd. Under Zhang Xuan's order, all of them were beheaded.

Half of it.

The rest of the soldiers rejoiced. According to Chen Hongfan's meaning, let the soldiers do their best to treat the women of Huangzhuang as military prostitutes, but these people have not been their turn for a while.

Zhang Xuan said coldly: "I, Zhang Xuan, am not guilty of murder, go back and tell Chen Hongfan." A wicked man is his own hell. Even if I can't kill him, God will kill him one day. Let them go. ”

"My lord, how do you let them go?" Luo Dai said: "These will be sent to attack us immediately when they return to the official army. Isn't this an enemy? ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Xuan said coldly: "Kill them? Hold them in custody? Could it be that they are still being raised? ”

Luo Dai wanted to say that he would kill them, but in fact, such a thing, whether it was the official army or the righteous army, did not do less, but Zhang Xuan still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

"Maybe we can co-opt them." Deng He said. Deng He has been in both the official army and the rogue, and he understands too well the mentality of the low-level soldiers, they are just eating together, and as for what loyalty, it is too far away from them.

"If we don't want to retreat, maybe we can co-opt them." Zhang Xuan said with some regret.

The army is about to retreat, and it is too dangerous to carry these unstable factors.

After Zhang Xuan did these things, he called Huang Xu over and said, "The army has also retreated. If you want to stay, stay. ”

"My lord, I can't stay." Huang Xu said: "I just stayed to cause trouble for the villagers, my family is dead, Chen Hongfan will not die for a day, and I will be uneasy for a day." I am willing to follow the general. ”

"Okay." Zhang Xuan said: "In this case, you can follow me." ”

The matter of the Zhou Party gave Zhang Xuan a great lesson, he thoroughly understood one thing, that is, if this person does not have the same heart as himself, then the more powerful the more harmful, and it is a dream to expect Zhuge Liang to be able to ask for Zhuge Liang after looking at the thatched cottage three times, so Zhang Xuan no longer insists on it.

He firmly believes that within ten steps, there will be fragrant grass, and he doesn't believe that everyone in the world is dead set on Daming?

The army moved quickly and returned to Xiaogan on the same day, Chen Hongfan was hit hard by this, and he couldn't recover for a while, so Zhang Xuan decided to transport all the accumulated grain first, and even Song Xiance was packed and transported away by Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan himself stayed in Xiaogan City until the last moment.

Three days later, Zhang Xuan took his subordinates and Huang Xu to bring the men who defected to him, a total of about 13,400 people, and withdrew from Xiaogan from the north gate of Xiaogan.

Zhang Xuan just looked at Xiaogan City. Secretly said: "When will I settle down?" ”

"My lord, Chen Hongfan is here." Luo Dai said with a serious face.

Zhang Xuan was suddenly startled and said, "What, his brigade has been broken up by me, why else is he coming?" ”

Luo Dai's face turned red, and he said: "My lord, his subordinates are incompetent, Chen Hongfan came with three hundred cavalry, not a foot team." ”

Zhang Xuan figured out what was going on in an instant, Chen Hongfan's short contact with Luo Dai made Chen Hongfan understand the details of Luo Dai, and knew that Zhang Xuan was not his opponent of Chen Hongfan, so Chen Hongfan caught up at this moment, just to give Zhang Xuan a dismount during the march.

Zhang Xuan said: "It's okay, I don't believe it, just three hundred horses, can he still dare to come to me Zhang Xuan's infantry team." ”

Fighting cavalry is a subject that every infantry must train, and Zhang Xuan also has training. However, Zhang Xuan is not sure what the result will be, but now, whether he is sure or not, he must give it a try.

Under Zhang Xuan's order, Zhang Xuan's army was divided into two divisions, both of which were in dense formations, with dense spears erected as if they were woods, while sword and shield men formed the first line of defense in front and rear, while Xintou Huang and others were in the middle of the two divisions, and Luo Dai's horse team was scattered and wandered around. Give the infantry team time to warn.

However, in this way, the marching speed of Zhang Xuan's troops will be slowed down, and it will not be fast at all.

It didn't take long for Chen Hongfan's department to appear above the horizon.

The three hundred horsemen didn't run very fast, but they seemed to be marching at a speed, pacing slowly parallel to Zhang Xuan's department, and they seemed to be ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Xuan knew that they would never act without permission, he was waiting, waiting for him to lose his breath. If you speed up yourself, then there will definitely be a flaw in this dense formation, and by that time, three hundred horsemen will rush up and break the formation, and you can sweep the three armies.

But how could Zhang Xuan not be in a hurry?

You must know that this is the agreed time, maybe the army is already in Yunmeng County at this moment, and Fu Zonglong's army is close behind. If you go slowly, you may be intercepted by Fu Zonglong's army. At that time, there will be no way to heaven and no door to the earth.
