When Qu Neng, who was bent on dying, saw the black-armored cavalry in the distance, he rarely shed tears, but he shed tears, he fought for half his life, and was not afraid of death, but he couldn't bear to let his son go to Huangquan with him before he was twenty years old. All the pride and ambition turned into licking the calf at this moment, and he patted Qu Tao's shoulder heavily: "Tao'er, we don't have to die, General Zuo has come to save me, this is the Guards Cavalry Army, we have been saved." ”

The subordinates who were in a desperate situation also cheered loudly, and as Qu Neng and Qu Tao killed Zhang Yu, who was suffering from the loss of his son, Zhang Yu was also red-eyed, and took the lead with Wang Zhen to kill the tired Qu Nengjun. Qu Neng parried and observed the battlefield in the east over and over again, he understood that he could not escape by his own strength, and the most important thing was the decisive battle between the Guards Cavalry Army and Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's subordinates are all fierce generals who have followed him for many years, Huo Zhen and Tan Yuan are even more courageous, and they are all strong troops who have been crisscrossing northern Xinjiang for many years. In particular, the momentum after the army was like a bamboo, which increased its arrogance. Although he was killed by Ping'an, in the eyes of these people, it was not the Yan army, but the Daning army and the Henan army. When I met Song Xuan's cavalry army this time, Zhu Di's subordinates all had a fire, and they must kill these thieves, and kill these thieves who only dare to slaughter the old and weak women and children while we are not at home.

In the face of the rampant Yan army, the cavalry also did not show weakness, they are all from Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia men, the Loess Plateau thousand years of heroism has not faded in them, and the complex situation of the Han and Hu in the northwest makes them fight day long. After walking under the city of Beiping, a large number of Yan troops were slashed and killed, and the cavalry army also had some psychological advantages. In addition, Zhu Yunwen kept updating their equipment for them, which made them fearless.

The commander Lin Tianmu was galloping on his horse, and when he saw the oncoming Yanwang Wang Qi, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and raised his knife and shouted: "Kill Yan, Gonghou Wandai!" Long Qicheng behind him also raised his knife and shouted: "Kill Yan, Gonghou Wandai!" The army behind him shouted: "Prince! "Marquis Bandai!" For a while, the morale of the cavalry army was greatly boosted, and everyone knew that the emperor had set a heavy reward for the rebels, as long as Zhu Di could be killed, he would be crowned a marquis immediately, and there was currently only one An Lu Hou Wu Jie and Yong Yi Bo Ping'an in the entire counterinsurgency army, and the others were all white, so rewarded, how could everyone not be crazy? The Mongols in the team showed even more intensity, they scrambled to kill Zhu Di's royal banner, and the others were not to be outdone, and they also rushed violently.

The Yan army was not to be outdone, Tan Yuan and Huo Zhen took the lead, brandishing a big sword and rushing into the enemy formation, rushing to kill, Lin Tianmu and Long Qicheng were also Ping'an's carefully selected generals, and immediately stopped Tan Yuan and Huo Zhen from fighting. The two armies surrounded them as the core and fought, and Zhu Di was even more taken care of, with bows, arrows, and sabers all beckoning to him. Although Zhu Di was known for his martial arts and killed several people, he was stopped by his subordinate Zhang Wu: "Lord Wang, don't rush to kill again, the southern army is a little crazy for a heavy reward." ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment, but did not stop, he looked at the cavalry army opposite, and said: "All the generals are fighting bloodily, how can this king retreat, Zhang Wu and Chen Wen!" ”

"In!"

"Do you dare to join this king to fight into the enemy formation and take the head of the enemy general?"

"Dare!"

Zhang Wu and Chen Wen glanced at each other and shouted, "Kill!" ", led the guards, rushed into the enemy formation, and opened the way for Zhu Di. Zhu Di moved forward bravely, and the guards around him were not afraid of death one by one, desperately protecting him, which formed an arrow, and killed the cavalry army step by step for a while.

But the cavalry army was not to be outdone, and the fierce generals Long Kai, Jiang Zhu, Liu Xuefeng and others surrounded King Yan and vigorously slashed and killed. For a time, the battle situation fell into a stalemate, and the two armies were inseparable. But on the whole, the army of the imperial court is at a disadvantage, and Qu Neng and others by the river are even more in danger, they have been hungry and exhausted from early morning to afternoon, while the Yan army is full of morale, plus Zhang Yu, who is crazy in order to avenge the murder of his son, takes the lead, and Wang Zhen next to him is also like a fierce god, and Qu Neng's army is defeated and retreated. When the reinforcements first appeared, Qu Neng's army was indeed greatly boosted, but with Zhang Yu's desperate fight and the reinforcements blocked, the morale fell rapidly and was soon compressed to the river, and many people had already been squeezed down the Tang River and washed away by the turbulent and icy river. Qu Tao's right arm was broken, holding a knife in his left hand, Qu Neng's guards were protecting him left and right, and Qu Neng was still fighting left and right. Zhang Yu rode out on horseback and pointed at Qu Neng with a knife and said, "Qu Neng, I only ask you once, if you want to surrender, if you don't surrender, die!" ”

Qu Neng ignored Zhang Yu's words, but put the knife on the ground, looked around, and found that he had retreated to the river embankment, and was about to fall into the river in two zhang, but there were only hundreds of people around him. While the Yan army retreated, these people struggled to get closer to themselves, and even though they were seriously injured, they still guarded them with swords. Qu Neng felt that his nose was a little sore, raised his hand to take off his helmet, took a few breaths of cold air, and then pushed away the guards and said loudly: "Zhang Yu, whether my Qu Neng will descend, I will kill myself here today, can you let go of my loyal and brave soldiers?" ”

Before Zhang Yu could answer, Qu Neng's guards surrounded him, and one of the guards named Liu Er said loudly: "General, why bother, the brothers are all killed in battle, and we are the only ones left, since we can't avenge them, let's die with them, general, I, Liu Er, are not afraid of death!" ”

"Yes, General, I'm not afraid of death!"

"General, we are not afraid of death!"

"We are not afraid of death!"

“......”

Qu Neng listened to the words of the soldiers, tears welled up in his eyes, and he laughed and said: "Okay, I, Qu Neng, go to Huangquan with all the heroes, and I have no regrets in this life!" As he spoke, he took out his long knife and laughed, "Zhang Yu, come on!" ”

Zhang Yu looked at Qu Neng coldly, and said sharply: "Release the arrow!" ”

The Yan army pulled their bows and arrows one after another, and for a while the arrows rained down, and the guards in front of Qu Neng struggled to dial Diaoling, but they kept being shot by arrows and fell down, letting out a miserable scream.

Yan Jun didn't step forward, just kept shooting arrows, Qu Neng also began to dial Diao Ling, didn't pay attention, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, Qu Neng pulled it out, bent his bow and arrow, and shot at Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu flashed lightly, and laughed: "Qu Neng, you're finished!" ”

Before Zhang Yu's laughter fell, he heard the ringing of the bowstring behind him, he hurriedly turned around, he felt a numbness in his right shoulder, and knew that he had been hit by an arrow, and at the same time, a rain of arrows flew behind Yan Jun, and Yan Jun was caught off guard and fell off his horse one after another. The surviving Yan army hurriedly turned around, but found that a large group of black-armored cavalry appeared behind them at some point, and after they finished shooting arrows, they pulled out their long knives and killed them directly.

When the shouts of killing on the bank of the river sounded again, the Yan army was crushed and fled in all directions. Although Zhang Yu shouted: "Resist, resist!" But no one listened to the commandment. Wang Zhen saw that there was nothing to do, and said: "General Zhang, you are injured, go quickly, I will break the queen for you!" Before Zhang Yu could agree, Wang Zhen rushed towards the surging black armor torrent with dozens of guards around him, but it was like a mantis arm as a car, and it didn't take long for him to be overwhelmed by the black torrent.

Holding back his tears, Zhang Yu asked the guard to pull out the feather arrow on his shoulder and run in the direction of Zhu Di.

Although Zhu Di was in the battle array, he always paid attention to the surrounding situation, and just now he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yu forcing Qu Neng to the river, it seems that Zhang Yu will soon be able to come to support him. The cavalry army on the opposite side also discovered Qu Neng's desperate situation, and they were also in a hurry, rushing to kill, and killed the Yan army step by step for a while. But after Zhu Di saw it, he was not surprised, he knew that when Qu Neng died, the other side would inevitably be demoralized. Just like a person finds that his goal cannot be achieved, short-term decadence cannot be avoided, and what Zhu Di wants to seize is this short-term opportunity.

However, the sudden appearance of the black-armored cavalry in the north shattered Zhu Di's illusions, and Zhang Yu's men were instantly defeated, and instead ran towards him. Zhu Di looked at the situation on the battlefield, and now the Yan army and the cavalry army are intertwined, and they are inseparable at all. Zhang Wu and Chen Wen also noticed the changes in the surrounding situation, Chen Wen wiped the sweat on his face and shouted: "Lao Zhang, you take the prince to go first, and I will break it later." As he spoke, Chen Wen slapped the back of the knife on Zhu Di's horse's buttocks, and Zhu Di's war horse "Sigh Rhythm" rose up and rushed out of the war group, Zhang Wu didn't have time to excuse himself, and quickly led the guards to chase Zhu Di.

Chen Wenxu was surrounded in the heart under the banner of King Yan, but others didn't know that King Yan had escaped, but the people around Chen Wen knew, and their morale immediately plummeted, and they were killed in a while. When Long Kai and the others killed under the banner of King Yan, they found that it was not King Yan, and found out that they had been fooled, Long Kai and the others were in a hurry, and split Chen Wen's body with a few knives, and then shouted: "King Yan has run away, King Yan has run away!" ”

When the Yan army found that the banner of the king of Yan disappeared, his fighting spirit was immediately wiped out, and there were those who fled and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, but Song Xuan had an order not to take prisoners, because he wanted to buy time, and the reinforcements of the Yan army would come at any time. Therefore, except for a few who escaped, the rest of the Yan army were either killed or driven into the Tang River, and countless people drowned.

When the battle by the river stopped, Song Xuan ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield, and quickly retreated north with the seriously injured Qu Neng and others.

Just a quarter of an hour after Song Xuan's withdrawal, the dust was flying in the west, and the receiving army led by Zhu Neng arrived, and Zhu Di was among them. When he saw a mess, corpse-strewn, blood-stained land, Zhu Di ordered Zhu Neng to hurry up and check and rescue the survivors. Zhu Di himself was also looking for it in a pool of blood, and when he saw a male corpse, Zhu Di probed his nose, couldn't help shedding tears, and sobbed: "Shimei ......"

At this point, the Battle of the Tang River ended, with 25,000 Southern Army and 20,000 Yan Army participating in this battle. The process is roughly as follows, Qu Neng patrolled the river to prevent the Yan army from crossing the river, Zhu Di and Zhang Yu designed to deceive Qu Neng, but due to Zhang Yu's hesitation, they were besieged by Qu Neng; After Zhu Di captured the pontoon bridge, he immediately rushed to reinforcements, rescued Zhang Yu at the last moment, and then fought with the Guards Cavalry Army who was ordered to come to the rescue, and finally the Yan army was defeated, almost all the army was wiped out, Zhu Di escaped from the siege with a few guards, and the generals Zhang Yu, Wang Zhen, Chen Wen, and Tan Yuan were killed, and Huo Zhen escaped. The victorious southern army also suffered heavy losses, with only more than 300 of the 8,000 people left in Qu Neng's department, more than 5,000 dead and wounded in the cavalry army, only 12,000 left, and Qu Neng and Qu Tao were seriously wounded.

There was little difference in the losses of the soldiers on both sides, plus the loss of the pontoon bridge, the southern army attacked a total of 15,000 people, and the Yan army 20,000, but both sides believed that they had suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry of the southern army dropped from 50,000 to more than 30,000, and the total number of troops was reduced to 130,000; Although the total number of Yan troops dropped to 80,000, there were still 60,000 cavalry, but a large number of generals of the Yan army were killed, and they were all killed at the last moment of the war, which could not help but make Zhu Di feel painful.
