Up and down the city, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The bowl mouth gun and the Hongwu cannon roared continuously, and the stone projectiles flew into the air, falling into the sea of people like stones falling into the sea.

The main force of the official army is claimed to be 300,000, and the Yan army is claimed to be 200,000, but the actual number should be as many as 200,000 in total! 200,000 people gathered together under the city of Zhending, not to mention that the main weapons of destruction at this time ranged from ten to dozens of steps, and the surging of people and horses was like the tide of the sea!

Geng Bingwen pressed the handle of Yanling's knife with his left hand, and kept walking behind the battlements of the city wall, and the two white eyebrows had already squeezed together.

He looked down and saw a mess under the western city wall, and a red banner rushed forward like a huge arrowhead, leading a group of iron horsemen to rush left and right as if it were no one. The surrounding infantry had long since lost their formation, holding all kinds of weapons and only caring about besieging the "red flag" from several sides, the cavalry drove over, and all the officers and soldiers retreated; The cavalry suddenly turned again, and the foot soldiers on the other side were scattered.

The cavalry came like a flood from the west, stirring up a great confusion on the west side of the great array of officers and soldiers, and the foot soldiers on all sides ran like frightened ant colonies on the plain.

Geng Bingwen pointed over with a wrinkled finger and said, "Although the right-wing Zhang Yu is fierce, he is not as fierce as the son of King Yan. ”

At this time, a voice suddenly replied: "King Gaoyang has the reputation of bravery, and he can be regarded as a fierce general, but it is still a little worse than mere below. ”

Geng Bingwen turned his head when he heard the voice, and what he spoke was peace. The body of Ping An was very thick and thick, and although there was a layer of armor on his shoulders, his muscles were even stretched up in armor, and those two arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs! This person's father is called Pingding, Pingding looks strange and extraordinary, Taizu was shocked to see it, and insisted on adopting him as an adopted son; This Ping An also looks similar to his father, very burly and stout.

Geng Bingwen glanced at Ping'an, and said: "If King Gaoyang is coerced by the Chinese army, and King Yan is attacking in the front, the situation is also dangerous!" The left flank must be reinforced. ”

Ping'an immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general will ask for battle, and lead the cavalry out of the city to fight with the King of Gaoyang!" ”

Geng Bingwen pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, it is better to transfer the elite to besiege this person according to the opinion of Wei Guogong, put him to death, and cut off Yan Wei's arm!" ”

As he spoke, his face was murderous, and he raised his hand and slashed down, "Someone, send an order to the general Sheng Yong, go to the north of King Gaoyang to supervise the battle, and gather infantry troops to block the Yan army and block King Gaoyang's way!" ”

"Order!"

Geng Bingwen looked at Ping An again, "Sheng Yong is all-rounder, and the infantry is also quite disciplined, and King Gaoyang wants to break through the northern formation in a roundabout way, but it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!" At this time, Ping An rode out of the far gate of the town and blocked his way back! The old man went out of Yong'an Gate, drummed up the morale of the army, and counterattacked the west side. It is difficult to fly with wings called King Gaoyang! ”

Ping'an hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" However, the Chinese army is thick, and the old general doesn't have to be tired, just be in the city, and see how we can break the King of Gaoyang! ”

Geng Bingwen nodded slightly, stroked his white beard, and said: "King Yan's father and son came to the battle in person, at this time, the morale of the Yan army is extremely high, the old man is fifty out of sixty this year, is it not as brave as King Yan?" It is enough for the city to call the Marquis of Wuding. ”

He looked at the vast battlefield and said, "The old man and others have been entrusted with the important responsibilities of the imperial court, so dare not use their lives?" I hope you will fight hard to kill the enemy to repay the emperor's kindness! ”

Ping An glared at the tiger's eyes, hugged his fists and said: "Get the order!" ”

…… Sheng Yong was ordered to come to the battlefield, rode his horse through the formation, and issued brief military orders everywhere. He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't necessarily only talk to the generals, but when the army is shaken, he can always rush through as fast as he can, and shout loudly to point out the vital joints.

The phalanxes on the left flank actually adjusted their direction one after another, and the north did not move and fought fiercely with the Yan army in front; The phalanx at the back turned towards the city wall, with spears in front, guarded by firearms and bows and arrows, facing the Yan army's iron cavalry that broke into the large array.

Shi Zhu Gaoxu led the crowd, with the Quan Yong team, the left thousand general battalion, and the right thousand general battalion as the front and rear echelons, and entered the depth of the southern army's large array from the west side. Many phalanxes near the walls were routed.

Zhu Gaoxu saw that the depth of the charge was almost over, so he stopped attacking the official army and the Chinese army, turned around and outflanked him; According to the tactics agreed in advance, Zhang Wubu will turn and attack the belly and back of other phalanxes in the north at this time, and attack from both sides, in order to break the west side of the official army!

Unexpectedly, at this time, he found that the attack was blocked, and those phalanxes and iron barrels in the north seemed to be not at the same level of combat strength as the men and horses he had just defeated! Zhu Gaoxu repeatedly rushed to kill, but still couldn't break the nearest phalanx.

He led the Quanyong team to retreat slightly, rushed through the collapsed chaotic army for a while, and then turned his head to observe.

The position of the cyan banner in the west is the cavalry of Zhang Wubu, and those green flags move back and forth, but they can't move north!

The offensive is thwarted! Can you still reach your goal if you stick to it? On the battlefield, thousands of troops, smoke and unpredictable.

There was a brief blank in Zhu Gaoxu's mind, and he hadn't fully figured out the specific situation at this time...... If you could have defeated a large area of phalanx in the north and expanded the results of the battle, wouldn't you have been scolded miserably because you shrugged off and missed the fighter plane in the face of hardship?

However, the phalanx in the distance to the north had already slowly advanced to this side, and if they could not be defeated, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry activity space would be greatly compressed, and they would become infantry on horseback!

Zhu Gaoxu was sweating profusely, and the sweat rushed to the blood on his face, and it flowed down the horse and dripped onto the breastplate.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, and soon had his own opinion: as the main general of an army, he can not set up a formation, because there are always people under his subordinates, and they can also be mediocre in force, as long as they don't run to the front...... But the Lord will have to make a decision on the spot! Because only the chief general has the right to fight.

Even if it is wrong, even if it is criticized by others, it must be decided! Even if it's a wrong judgment, it's better than not judging at all!

"Order the whole army, the rear army is the front army, all turn the direction and break through to the west!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted.

"Order!"

The second rush of the Quan Yong team was the first to turn around, and Zhu Gaoxu led his own soldiers to rush west, and soon crossed the Quan Yong team from the side. At this time, Zhang Wu's subordinates in the west also turned westward one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The cannon on the city wall rang out again. The stone cannonballs fell into the crowd by projectiles, and sometimes they could still kill people, but the speed of fire and lethality were very limited, and the actual number of people who could be killed was very small...... With tens of thousands of Yan troops, the probability of everyone being hit is very small, but the huge cannon sound makes it easy for people to ignore the fact of probability!

Zhu Gaoxu moved closer to Zhang Wuying, but saw that the green flag was patrolling! The cavalry is moving very fast in the battle formation, what is Zhang Wu doing, does Zhang Wu still dare to disobey in battle?

Zhu Gaoxu patted his horse and rushed to the range of the left battalion's activities, and shouted loudly: "Why don't the left thousand battalions leave? ”

A group of men and horses galloped back from the west, and one of the generals at the head replied loudly: "The west side is blocked by the official cavalry, and the right battalion cannot win, and it is not counted if it is killed!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu listened, beckoned Wang Bin and others beside him, and took his own soldiers to cross the position of the left battalion. He threw his horse straight to the west, and saw that countless horsemen were retreating in this direction.

It is easiest to distinguish from the iron helmet, and the brim of the hat of the Southern Army is wider, so Zhu Gaoxu believes that these horses are the Yan Army; After a while, he saw the green flag waving, which was the eight hundred horsemen of the right battalion.

"Aren't you the elite of King Yan's guards? Run a bird! Zhu Gaoxu scolded and scolded twice, slapped the horse and recoiled, and went straight to the west.

The triangular red flag fluttered, and a group of wolf-like iron horsemen rushed over with Zhu Gaoxu, and in the midst of the smoke, the cavalry of the Southern Army was chasing and killing!

Zhu Gaoxu picked up the newly replaced cherry gun, stabbed it in the air, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

The two armies rode their horses closer, Zhu Gaoxu repeated his old skills, constantly speeding up his horse, and with the charging speed of the war horse, he took the lead! "Da da da......" The heavy sound of iron hooves was deafening.

The rapid wind made him feel a little difficult to breathe, and his blood was surging sharply. Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, lifted the cherry spear, and brought it to his armpit. "Bang!" The right hand holding the gun slid forward, and he immediately let go of his palm, and the movement was smooth to reach for his shoulder, a movement that he had done many times, and he was so skillful that he was ready to grab the hilt of the saber!

"Huh!" The sword flashed, and a black shadow flickered in front of him, and Zhu Gaoxu slashed it down. "Bell!" The violent tremor made his mouth tingle, and his whole arm trembled.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly glanced at the knife edge, and a big hole collapsed on it, like a tooth was missing! Am I grass? Zhu Gaoxu turned around and glanced back.

I saw a fierce man also turning around, the guy was like a square iron ingot on a big horse, holding an iron shield in one hand and a heavy axe in the other, and his ridiculously thick arm flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

And in an instant, Zhu Gaoxu found that he had become alone? Only empty horses with no one left on either side followed! After a while, Wang Bin waited for several horsemen to shout and kill one person to catch up, and Wang Bin's eyes were red.

The fierce man just now waved left and right, and in a short time several people were killed, and the horse also stopped in the distance, scolding and turning the horse's head around. The fierce man shouted, "King Gaoyang, let's fight again!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu took a move and knew that he was two pounds, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu is fighting with you to delay the work, waiting for the whole army to be surrounded?

He cried out, "Who is coming?" "While looking at where there is emptiness, I want to kill back, and then I will flash people first.

The fierce man said: "In Xia Ping'an, my father is the righteous son of your imperial grandfather, and the king of Gaoyang has to call me brother!" ”

"My emperor raised your father and son, did you let you kill his descendants?" Zhu Gaoxu slapped his horse and rushed to the south, slashing two people in a row, and shouted without looking back.

A peaceful voice said: "Today's saint is the co-lord of the world, that is what your grandfather Huang means!" ”

Judging by the voice, the distance is not far away, and it is catching up.

Zhu Gaoxu rushed to kill in front, and the war horse rushed so fast that he didn't dare to relax for a moment and look back, so he judged the position while talking nonsense with that guy, and he shouted casually, "Qi and Huang are traitors, seek the lives of my clan!" ”
