Chapter 878: The Last Chip

The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will become, Zhu Di immediately asked people to spread false news about Zhu Wenkui's ascension in Yingtian in the Longxiang army, and at the same time ordered the whole army to move south again.

This time, he was out of the nest, and even Princess Yan followed him on the expedition, which can be said to be a desperate gamble. Although his momentum this time was not as great as the last time, no one dared to stop him with more than 30,000 Longxiang troops, but no one dared to send him food and grass along the way.

Last year, Zhu Xiongying defeated Zhu Di in Xuzhou, Zhu Di only fled with more than 20,000 people, even if Zhu Xiongying was ruthless, it was impossible to kill all the prisoners.

More than 100,000 captives were handed over to Changtong for re-organization and stationed in Xuzhou, and Zhu Xiongying led the army to hunt down Zhu Di, but Zhu Xiongying did not come back, and even the Long Xiang army lost most of it.

The good brother who grew up together since childhood died, which made Chang Tong sad and panicked, and the news of Zhu Yun's ascension to the pole in Yingtian made him even more overwhelmed, and he regretted that he shouldn't have bullied this little cousin when he was young.

Facing the menacing Zhu Di, Chang Tong didn't know which tendon was wrong and surrendered. With more than 100,000 troops, Zhu Di's strength increased greatly and continued to accelerate southward, smoothly reaching the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The south bank was quiet in the telescope, with no banners, no neat military formations, or standing cannons. The strangest thing was that the docks on both sides of the river were all intact, and there were many large and small ships, including the huge ferry, which seemed to have been specially prepared for him.

Zhu Di's face was full of doubts, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at the river and hesitated for a long time before he said: "The king ordered that 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers cross the river and land together. ”

Ping An beside him hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, don't worry, the situation on the other side is really unreasonable, there must be an ambush!" ”

Zhu Xiongying defeated Zhu Di in Xuzhou, the injured Ping'an and the old Yao Guangxiao were captured, but Chang Tong secretly protected the two of them unharmed, and the reason why Chang Tong surrendered to Zhu Di was because the two secretly made their efforts, but one of Ping'an's arms was really useless, and I am afraid that he will not be able to fight in the future.

"The river beach is flat and wide, and there is no ambush to hide, and my uncle has even prepared a boat for me, either to invite me to enter the palace to succeed to the throne, or to invite me to have a real fight with him, I can't let him down. The king commanded to go down. ”

Zhu Di didn't even send a scout, and at that moment there were 30,000 troops boarding the ship and sailing to the south bank, and the soldiers who landed on the shore were inevitably vigilant in their hearts, but until they successfully landed and assembled at the dock on the south bank, they did not rush out and spit on them.

Zhu Di's heart was beating wildly, and he almost couldn't believe his eyes, his 30,000 horses had successfully landed on the other side, and with the combat strength of the Long Xiang army, he would definitely be able to gain a firm foothold smoothly, so that the landing of his remaining men and horses would no longer be difficult, my uncle was really facing me, this was releasing water to me!

Just when he was about to order the rest of the troops to continue to land, there seemed to be movement in the endless wheat field on the opposite bank, and a huge roar faintly sounded, Zhu Di hurriedly raised his binoculars, only to see something strange rushing from under the green curtain.

One, two, three...... I was afraid that there would be as many as seventy or eighty of them, but I saw that the thing was roughly rectangular and smeared with yellow-green paint, with sharp spikes and shiny blades embedded in it, and its head was slightly flattened like a bullet, and two iron pipes the thickness of arms protruded.

They roared angrily, spewing out billowing black smoke and rushing out of the wheat field, carrying billowing dust, like a mad beast, rushing towards the Yan army assembled at the beachhead.

What is that? Locomotive? But why are there no railroad tracks?

Zhu Di's eyes widened, even if he was in the telescope across the Yangtze River, he could feel that the momentum of those "monsters" bursting out and sweeping thousands of armies made people feel afraid.

As for the Ming troops who landed on the other side, not to mention, the foot soldiers were already in a mess, and they secretly jumped into the river and began to flee for their lives.

Long Xiangjun stood still at the moment, seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, I don't know who shouted loudly, and actually rushed towards the opposite side.

Sure enough, the warriors who returned from hell were not afraid of death, but their heads were not stupid, and none of them were stunned to hit the steel monster with their flesh and blood.

Skilled and well-trained, they quickly transformed into squads as they went, trying to get through the gaps between the steel monsters.

This tactic was originally correct, but they still underestimated the performance of these armored vehicles, and more than two miles away, the arm-thick steel pipe on the body of the car sprayed a beam of fire at those Long Xiang army who did not know whether to live or die.

There were two Makqin on each armored vehicle, and a total of more than 100 Makqin quickly intertwined a dense fire net in different directions.

The warriors who had slaughtered all sides of steel before were now like paper and mud, whether it was a man or a horse, they fell to the ground and died when they touched the dense net of fire, and there was no silence of the previous battle, and there was a terrified roar and a terrible howl from under the mask, and the neat formation became chaotic, and the brave rider scurried like a headless fly.

There were also determined sergeants of Long Xiang who drew their short guns to fight back, but the seemingly indestructible bullets only grazed a string of sparks on the body, and the horses were then cut off by the sharp blades on the body, and the fallen rider had no time to get up, and the wheels crushed him into pulp.

However, many people rushed through the armored vehicles with superb riding skills and good luck, but no sooner had they rushed through the billowing smoke and dust, and before they could rejoice that they had escaped death, a dense rain of bullets struck......

The Long Xiang army is powerful, and Zhu Di also has to admire Zhu Xiongying at this point, but in his eyes, the invincible warrior was wiped out like this, he couldn't believe it, looking at the soldiers who knelt on the other side and surrendered and the corpses all over the ground, he only felt that something seemed to be broken in his heart, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer, and staggered back a few steps.

Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold him, and he could see the situation on the other side of the strait clearly in the telescope, knowing that Zhu Di was afraid that he would not be able to take Yingtian, and even self-protection was a problem.

He hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth to persuade: "Your Highness still made a decision early, and if it drags on, I am afraid that these troops after you will have to change, and I will transfer and slash us, in fact, there is nothing wrong with going overseas to be a free prince......

Zhu Di shook off Ping'an, gritted his teeth and said: "Ying Tian is in front of him, this king is unwilling!" ”

An old voice said: "The strength of His Highness's last fight is not in the thousands of troops, but in the relationship with Xu Guogong, this is His Highness's last bargaining chip!" ”

"Yes!" A glimmer of hope was once again ignited in Zhu Di's disgraced eyes, "I want to see my uncle in the past!" ”
