After instructing the generals, everyone led their troops to the expedition under the gaze of Zhu Yuanzhang.

The first to set off was the conquest army of Tang He and Liao Yongan led by Xu Da, and the first stop of their attack was Zhenjiang, not far from Yingtianfu.

At this time, it was the general of the Yuan army who was guarding Zhenjiang.

When he heard that Xu Da, the general under Monk Zhu, led his troops to crusade against him, as an outstanding general of the Yuan army, the complete figure fully demonstrated the personal heroism that the Yuan army Tartars should have.

And as deputy generals, Yan Wu and Ping Zhang Dingding heard the news that their boss had already smeared oil on the soles of their feet and took the lead in slipping away before he started fighting with the enemy, and the fire in his heart did not come to one place.

You are a king and eight calves, you are invincible in your martial arts on weekdays, but you didn't expect to become a useless waste bag when you see the enemy, you are really a scum among the scum, a waste snack with a pig's brain and fat intestines.

After their boss took the lead in escaping, they may have had the idea of escaping, but before the two of them could take action, the crusading army led by Xu Da had already come to the city.

Facing Xu Da's heroic army, the last retreat of the two has been firmly blocked by the other party.

In this case, there may be some chance to survive if you fight, but if you don't fight, there is only a dead end.

Because Xu Da, as the commander of the crusade army, did not mean to negotiate peace with them at all, this battle was the first battle of Xu Da's crusade, and it was also the first battle in which he came as a general.

Looking at the high city wall in front of him, his resolute gaze was unwavering.

Zhenjiang defenders, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

After the arrival of the army, Xu Da did not give the other party any respite, and when the soldiers approached the city, he launched the order to attack the city.

As the deputy generals of the defenders, Yaowu and Pingzhang Dingding resisted stubbornly, and it was not until the last two died in battle that the Zhenjiang Garrison Battle ended in failure.

At the same time as breaking the city, Xu Da led the army to officially enter Zhenjiang City.

If it was placed in the past, after encountering the stubborn resistance of the enemy, in order to vent the resentment and anger in their hearts, as a rebel army, they would inevitably make a big show like the Japanese devils entering the city, and even did not hesitate to play a killing game such as burning the rattan armor soldiers, but the precepts of the boss were still in their ears when they parted.

If you play this kind of game and it reaches the ears of your own boss, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

What's more, although he is now out of the monitoring range of the bald donkey boss who looks like a shoehorn face, the guy standing at the front of the team at the moment who looks kind and smiles hazy is even more of a murderous and unblinking.

Although this person seems to be weak and weak on the surface, he smiles kindly, and speaks plainly, but under his approachable face, once the low and churning murderous aura erupts, it must be unstoppable.

This kind of person has a unified name, and everyone generally calls him a smiling tiger.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is a giant dragon that no one can subdue, Xu Da, who is the number one general under Zhu Yuanzhang, must be a smiling tiger who kills people invisibly.

Zhu Yuanzhang can't be provoked, but Xu Da doesn't dare to provoke.

provoked him, and the result was bound to be shattered.

Now after breaking the city, I still honestly and peacefully, if I take the lead to make trouble at this time, it will only be myself who will suffer.

As the saying goes: the gun shoots the first bird.

This eternal reason is still understood by itself.

It is under this kind of deterrence and deterrence, which can be said to be invisible, that Xu Da's army, which has worked hard to take Zhenjiang, has committed no crime against the people in the city.

The history books say: The city is silent, and the people do not know that there are soldiers.

This means that the people in the city are still living in peace, and after a great battle, the common people do not know that there is such a battle.

I think there is a certain amount of moisture in this sentence.

Because according to our normal people's thinking, although the common people live in the city, it is impossible to have no contact with the guards, after all, when you go out of the city and enter the city, you have to pass through other people's fields, and you have to look at people's faces. What's more, the army guarding Zhenjiang at that time still belonged to the Yuan Dynasty, and in the eyes of the kind of defenders whose livestock were more important than people, it was impossible for the people who risked their lives to protect them not to be oppressed by them.

When the number of defenders is insufficient, or when they are short of gold and silver, or when they think about a little daughter-in-law one day, they will still look at the people in the city without hesitation.

And in such a life-and-death situation, will the defenders in the city really stupidly smash their opponents, instead of pulling some militia as free strong men to act as numbers?

Would they be so kind as to spare the people of the city?

I don't think so!

It is also unreasonable from the aspect of war, because after all, war is a major event, a life-and-death business, at this juncture where either you die or I die, in the confrontation of swords, guns and iron horses, under the scene of boulders smashing tung oil and burning, their old lives are about to be saved, and they will inevitably lower their voices and say: Khan, buddies outside the city, let's fight quietly, and if you can solve it by force, don't make a sound, so as not to alarm the people in the city.

This kind of completion is nonsense and cannot happen.

The real intention of writing this in the history books should be to publicize that the Zhu family army led by Xu Da is well-managed, courteous to the people, does not disturb the people, and is a real soldier of the people.

To put it bluntly, I wrote it for others to see, and its main purpose was to highlight my own differences.

Highlight yourself as a glorious example of friendship, peace, and people.

Reveal that he is different from the other people who rebelled together.

To put it more simply, this is done to win hearts and minds.

Soon after Xu Da captured Zhenjiang, bad news came from Huzhou.

The bad news is: Zhang Shicheng, who was unwilling to be lonely, had just resolved the Gaoyou crisis, and ordered his army to conquer the city and expand the territory to celebrate the establishment of his new dynasty.

Perhaps because of the reason why his boss was honored at the ceremony, in order to show his merit and compete for favor, Zhang Shicheng's soldiers and horses fought hard when attacking Huzhou, and miraculously won Huzhou, which was held by the Yuan army.

And when the excitement of taking Huzhou had not yet had time to be fully vented, Zhang Jiuliu, the marshal who led the army to take Huzhou and the younger brother of Zhang Shicheng, who had just been crowned the crown, heard that someone had taken Zhenjiang one step ahead of him, and it was the soldiers and horses who looked like a wild donkey who took Zhenjiang.

Zhang Jiuliu, also known as Zhang Shide, is the brother of the Great Zhou Emperor Zhang Shicheng, he has been selling illicit salt with Zhang Shicheng since he was a child, and later followed Zhang Shicheng to raise troops to rebel, among Zhang Shide's brothers, Zhang Shide is the strongest and strategic, and played a vital role in Zhang Shide's career in the founding of the country.

After hearing the news that Zhenjiang was besieged, Zhang Shide's pink cheeks had just risen a little joy, and they were instantly covered by black clouds.

This deflated three, this bald donkey, is clearly going to argue with the uncle.

Dare to fight for territory with me, I see that you are impatient, see that I don't beat you out of today!

Zhang Shide, who was holding back the fire in his belly, looked at Zhenjiang close at hand and was furious, his original plan was to break Huzhou first and then go to Zhenjiang, and then Zhenjiang would go straight to Jinling.

But I didn't expect to hook the eyes at this section, so that a bald donkey was put halfway.

In order to lay out long-term interests, but also to vent the sullenness in his heart, Zhang Shide's family letter first told his brother Zhang Shicheng, who had just ascended the throne and sat in Gaoyou, about his current situation and thoughts in his heart, and after obtaining his brother's consent, he waved his army to go on the expedition, took a big boat, and led his troops to crusade against the defenders of Zhenjiang.

At this time, Xu Da, who had just beaten Zhenjiang and had not yet sat on the hot buttocks, heard the news of Zhang Shide's attack, and did not rush to send troops, but first reported the news to Zhu Yuanzhang, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang giving him the next instructions, a smile should have turned out on his sharp cheeks.

He never thought that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Jinling, would make such a deployment.

The amount is small, not a gentleman, non-toxic and not a husband.

Originally, we were rivals who knew each other but never got along, but now that you are the first to break the pattern, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Aren't you here to beat my Zhenjiang?

Come and don't be rude.

Since you want to hit my Zhenjiang, then I'll hit you in the back first.

I'll hit your nest: Changzhou.

In order to be able to take Changzhou in one fell swoop and be in an absolute leading position in the first battle with Zhang Shicheng, Xu Da asked Zhu Yuanzhang to send troops to assist before sending troops.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in Yingtian, was indeed not ambiguous, he directly dispatched Tang He and Zhang Biao to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to assist Xu Da in besieging Changzhou.

After the two armies arrived in Changzhou, Xu Da led the army to attack the northwest gate, Tang He attacked the north gate, and Zhang Biao attacked the southeast gate.

When the army here was in full swing, Zhang Shide, who was still wandering on the road and did not arrive in time to Zhenjiang, heard that Changzhou in his rear was besieged, and the besieging soldiers and horses turned out to be the Zhu family army that he was preparing to crusade against.

I'll give you a lung.

Are you going to beat you?

It's good that you're playing this deflated.,Originally, I was the host and you were the guest.,It's not a problem.,The host and guest roles are reversed.,You really don't think of yourself as an outsider.。

This place in Changzhou must not be lost.

If Changzhou is lost, it will be tantamount to cutting off the passage between Huzhou and Gaoyou, and he will become an isolated army, and at that time, he will only suffer himself.

Zhang Shide sat on the horse and looked at Zhenjiang, which was already slightly outlined, and shook his head helplessly.

Let's stabilize Changzhou first.

As for Zhenjiang, I'll leave it for later.

Quickly turn around and return to the army, and we will go to support Changzhou.

And when the soldiers heard that the originally scheduled combat mission to attack Zhenjiang was temporarily canceled, their high hearts relaxed slightly.

It's good not to fight, you can keep your head and smash walnuts to make melon seeds later.

But when they heard that their backyard was on fire, the heavy responsibility that they finally reacted to instantly turned upside down, one by one like fried turkeys, rushing towards Changzhou.

At this time, in the grass on both sides of the road outside Longtan County, which is eighteen miles away from Changzhou, a group of people who were masked and holding their farts were hiding here.

One by one, they nested in the grass nest, feeding mosquitoes and grasshoppers, staring at the entrance of the avenue with blazing eyes, the long handle in their hands tightened loosely and tightly, and the narrow blade glowed with a faint cold light in the sunlight.

When a group of centaurs appeared in the middle of the avenue in a hurry, the eyes nested in the grass instantly brightened, and they lowered their voices and waited for them to enter their encirclement.

The black-clothed soldiers and horses who had been silent suddenly came out of the grass, and when they rushed to the back of this group of opponents who had never known each other, Zhang Shide, who was concerned about the safety of Changzhou, never expected that he would rush to the pass of the return, and he would kill such a group of Cheng Yanjin halfway, and he panicked for a while, and when he was just about to organize the soldiers and horses to counterattack, another group of soldiers and horses more than the black-clothed men appeared in front of him, and the leader was a man who looked weak and weak like a scholar.

If I don't remember the information wrong, the name of this leader should be: Xu Da.

Seeing the appearance of this person, Zhang Shide, as the leader, finally understood.

It turned out that this was a designed trap from beginning to end.

This step-by-step move is simply a premeditated routine.

It's just a plate of dumpling stuffing for people to eat.

And the other party didn't seem to want to forgive himself, and after surrounding himself to death, Xu Da gave the order to attack.

At this time, Zhang Shide, who was made dumplings alive, had already lost his plan.

In such a situation where there is a strong enemy in front of you and an army chasing after you, no amount of good strategy can make any difference.

At this point, there is only one path left to choose from.

That's it: resistance to the death.

But for veterans on the battlefield, Xu Da is far from being comparable to Zhang Shide.

Therefore, after some resistance, Zhang Shide, the brother of Zhang Shicheng, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was the emperor of Gaoyou, was captured by force by the army of Ben Xuda.
