"It's not good, quick, drive them down for me, drive them down for me!" Seeing that his defense line was broken through by the Chu army from a corner like this, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but be shocked.

But the most powerless thing is yet to come. That is, when the large army of the Chu army under Jintianyuan saw that the trapped soldiers in the trench had broken through a corner of the defense line of the Wu army, they immediately couldn't help but raise their troops and horses.

There were more than 16,000 soldiers and horses of the Chu army, and they were directly under the leadership of Zhang Shihui, the deputy commander of the Chu army, and they pressed over like black waves.

"The general is finished, the general trend has gone, withdraw, withdraw!"

"Ahh Burst!! A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Chang Yuchun, who only heard the words "the general trend has gone", suddenly couldn't help but lose all his strength, and even the blade in his hand fell to the ground.

"General, General!" Seeing this, the surrounding generals couldn't help but be even more frightened.

Now, Chang Yuchun is their last spiritual pillar. If something happens to Chang Yuchun again, they can't believe what will happen next.

But fortunately, after spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood, Chang Yuchun still gritted his teeth and stood firm, "Order the whole army to evacuate immediately." To the south, retreat south into the mountain forest, retreat south into the mountain forest! ”

"Yes, we will obey, we will obey!"

Seeing that Chang Yuchun was still rational at this time, the surrounding people couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After Chang Yuchun said this, the generals around him couldn't help but pick up Chang Yuchun and ran south.

As for the "herald of the whole army" that Chang Yuchun said? Heh, what a joke. At this time, the Wu army had begun to scatter and rout, and nearly half of the soldiers and horses were now dumplings by the Chu army. At this time, what kind of herald is there to talk about. Ask for more blessings!

"Chase me, no matter what, don't let go of that Chang Yuchun. can capture and kill those who often encounter spring, reward thousands of gold, and be promoted! ”

The Wu army began to scatter and rout, but the tens of thousands of Chu troops around them were still in hot pursuit. And because the pursuing Chu army did not know where Chang Yuchun was, any Wu army with more than 100 people who escaped immediately became the target of the Chu army's pursuit.

Therefore, for a while, the wailing voices around Jintianyuan could not be calmed for a long time.

……

"Water, Water ......"

"General, it's great that you're awake. Wait a minute, I'll fetch water for you now. ”

After a moment of "water ......", his lips felt a cool meaning that made him extremely thirsty, and Chang Yuchun, who was in chaos, couldn't help snatching the kettle into his hand, and then poured water directly into his mouth.

"Whew! Yes! After drinking the water, Chang Yuchun subconsciously planned to stand up, but the sharp pain that suddenly came from all over his body couldn't help but make him cry out in pain and sit on the ground again.

"General, your arrow wound has not healed, be careful!" Seeing this, the surrounding generals couldn't help but look very worried. But Chang Yuchun didn't care about this at this time, but after shaking his head and restoring his head to clarity, he opened his eyes and looked around carefully.

"This ......" looked around, even though he had already prepared in his heart, but when he saw it with his own eyes again, he still couldn't help but feel a feeling of blackness in front of his eyes.

They were now in an unknown mountain forest, and now with him as the center, three or five hundred people were gathering miserably around them.

And these three or five hundred people, at this time, it can be said that everyone is injured. Even in his field of vision, more than a dozen soldiers had already found flies on them, and they were obviously out of life.

"Is that all there is left?" Chang Yuchun couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, and asked Jiang Zuo who was standing next to him with a trembling voice.

"Yes!" Jiang Zuo replied, his voice also trembling a little. "The rest of the soldiers have been scattered by the Chu thieves, and now there are only more than 400 sons and daughters who can be contacted."

"......" Chang Yuchun was silent when he heard this, and clenched his teeth tightly, with great force, and even felt that his teeth were about to be crushed by qi. Because this is the only way at this time, Chang Yuchun can not let himself lose his temper.

"Now, we're there, are the Chu thieves still chasing and killing?" forced himself to calm down, and then Chang Yuchun couldn't help but ask these two questions.

Hearing Chang Yuchun's two questions, the Qianhu general named Brother Hao next to him was stunned for a while, "Back to the general's words, now we should be in Xiangyun Mountain." If you go out of the mountain to the north, you should be able to walk back to the main road in a day. As for the Chu thieves, it is difficult to search in the mountains and forests, so they should have already withdrawn their troops. ”

"Okay, I see!" Although the return was not very detailed, Chang Yuchun still nodded.

Then, after closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, he could not help but stand up from the ground, "Let the brethren get ready, and in half an hour, we will continue on our way." Within four days, be sure to return to Xiuning! ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands!"

……

Seven days later, on June 22, the good news on this side of Huizhou Road was finally delivered to Zhang Shihua, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Hahaha, great, Ah Wei and Shihui really lived up to my expectations!"

In Zhang Shihua's view, winning war is actually the initiative. On a battlefield, whoever has the initiative in his hands, that person will naturally be invincible.

"Now, our army's waterway has broken through the Chizhou Road and opened the Tuntian gateway of the Wu army in western Zhejiang on the waterfront. And Ah Wei and Shihui also captured Wuyuan City in Huizhou this time, captured Chen De, the defender of Wuyuan, and defeated the defender of Huizhou Chang Yuchun.

Therefore, for our army this time, whether it is by water or land, our army can be described as victorious. On Wu Jun's side, people must be panicked at this time. Ladies and gentlemen, when my Great Chu is at war with Zhexi, it will also come.

Half a month later, the summer grain in Chizhou will be able to be stored. At that time, it was also the time when our army invaded Taiping and the Wu army in western Zhejiang was desperate for life and death. Lords, if this battle is won, then the land of the south will be the possession of this king.

At that time, the king will also send a word from the sages to the kings, "How can the marquis of ten thousand households be enough", I hope that all the kings will encourage you! ”

"Ministers, they will fight to the death for the king. My king Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!! ”

……

"Wu Yuan is lost, Chen De's life and death are unpredictable, Yu Chun has now led the remnants and retreated to Xiuning. However, Xiuning alone, it is difficult to stop the Chu army for too long. Gentlemen, you are all my Jiangnan think tank, I don't know what you can do to resolve this? ”

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was far away in Jinling, naturally received a war report from Huizhou in the south.

However, compared to the elated and demoralized Da Chu side, their side naturally looked lifeless.

"The Chu army is menacing this time, and there is a great tendency to swallow the south of the Yangtze River, if our army wants to resolve the situation in front of us, it seems that now it can only withdraw the soldiers and horses from Shaoxing, Ningyue and other places!"

As the head of the advisers, Li Shanchang was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but be the first to stand up.

However, after he said this, Yang Xian, who was known as the 'Ambassador of Western Zhejiang' behind him, couldn't help but stand up, "Shaoxing and Ningyue were all snatched from Zhang Shicheng and Yuan Ting inch by inch by the soldiers who threw their heads and spilled blood.

At this time, if the soldiers and horses of these two places were to be withdrawn, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the second two places to Yuan Ting and Zhang Shicheng for nothing. In this case, what is the significance of what our soldiers have done before? ”

"Stupid!" Seeing Yang Xian, a junior who had just been in western Zhejiang for only three years, dared to refute him in public like this, Li Shanchang, who was furious, couldn't help but scold him, "At this moment, the ambition of the wolf son of the Chu army is clearly revealed.

They relied on the strength of the crowd to seize Chizhou and Wuyuan first. After two battles and two victories, the morale of his army will definitely skyrocket. If at this time, our army cannot curb the momentum of the Chu army's whale devouring, and those places under the rule of our army that have formed villages to protect themselves will definitely take advantage of the situation to be the guide for the Chu army.

In this way, under the internal and external troubles, how can our army survive! ”

"This ......"

In the end, 'Jiang is old and spicy', first he was angrily reprimanded by Li Shanchang in public, and then heard Li Shanchang's remarks and analysis of the overall situation rather than just being limited to one state and one government, Yang Xian couldn't help but be speechless by Li Shanchang's refutation.

But fortunately, Li Shanchang was too lazy to target him at this time, so after refuting him speechlessly, Li Shanchang also turned his attention back to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Grandpa Guo, in the minister's opinion, at this time, the only way to withdraw the soldiers and horses of General Hu Dahai Hu and General Geng Zaicheng Geng from Shaoxing and Chuzhou. Then let the two generals join forces and go north to support Huizhou. Only in this way will our army not be surrounded by the Chu army! ”

“……”

Silent, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be silent for a while when he heard this.

I have to say that since recruiting soldiers from his hometown and leading the army to stand on his own, this is indeed the most severe situation that Zhu Yuanzhang has faced.

In the past, even in the face of a strong enemy, it was a front-line battle. He can gather his soldiers and horses in one place without any scruples, fight the enemy in a decisive battle, and then win. But now, the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops in the west are menacing, not to mention, Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang is also 'a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiff'. Even Quzhou in the south, Song Boyan Buhua, and Shimo Yisun in Chuzhou were loyal to the Yuan court and were enemies of him.

For a time, as far as the eye could see, the east, west and south could be described as enemies on three sides.

In this way, even Zhu Yuanzhang himself really couldn't help but feel like he didn't know what to do at this time.

However, in the end, he is a peerless person who has only been born in a hundred years in the land of China. Although I was a little confused because of this, I was not short of decisions.

Therefore, when Li Shanchang asked him for instructions, after sorting out his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision, "The Chu army is menacing this time, and Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, is also a wolf with ambitions, and this time he wants to take the land south of the Yangtze River." Therefore, this thief is the number one enemy of my Wu army at the moment!

As for Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang, Song Boyan in Quzhou, and Shimo Yisun in Chuzhou, although these three people also have troops and horses in one place. But under repeated defeats, coming to our army is just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and there is nothing to worry about.

The words of the benevolent man are very kind, and he passed on my order to immediately let Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng lead the troops back to Huizhou. After the two returned to Huizhou, Hu Dahai was the main one, Geng Zaicheng and Chang Yuchun were the deputies, and the three of them worked together to attack the Chu thieves! ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Feng Guoyong, who was the most trusted, hugged his fists, and then stepped down to give Zhu Yuanzhang the order.

……

The next day, June 23, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zaihuang Chengde, who had been embarrassed all the way, as envoys secretly sent by Zhang Shihua, finally took their mission and seven or eight retinues responsible for protecting their safety along the way, and arrived at Zhang Shicheng's central administrative center, Longping Mansion (later Suzhou).

Eastern Zhejiang, I have to say that this place is really worthy of being the richest place in the world.

Even if Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai ask themselves, they are both people who have seen the world, but when they come to this Longping Mansion, they still can't help but admire the prosperity of this place.

Merchants gathered inside and outside the city, and all kinds of goods from all over the world were dazzling, and even the common people and civilians walking on the street were all well-dressed and red-faced in such a troubled world.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai couldn't help but look at Zhang Shicheng three points in their hearts. After all, they came from western Zhejiang, and the people's livelihood in western Zhejiang was far less prosperous than in eastern Zhejiang.

Therefore, walking on the street, Wang Zhengyang, who had already revealed the identity of his group, couldn't help but secretly think in his heart: "There is really no false man under the fame, I thought that Zhang Shicheng was just a vulgar martial artist who took advantage of the situation." Now it seems that this person is greatly underestimated. ”

And thinking so silently in my heart, it won't be long before the destination is reached.

"Two noble envoys, there is a post house in front of you. The two noble envoys came from afar, and it must have been hard work to think about it, so let's rest here now. My captain said that he would summon the two noble envoys to the palace early tomorrow morning. ”

"That's it, and I'm thanked." Wang Zhengyang and the two guests casually thanked the host, and then a group of ten people walked into this post house under the leadership of the official from eastern Zhejiang.

"The two noble envoys, if you have any needs, you can order the officials in the pavilion to do it. The lower official still wants to return to my house, so he won't bother. ”

"It's work, it's work!"

"Don't send, stay. Farewell, farewell. With a polite gesture, the Zhedong official left.

And when the official from eastern Zhejiang left, Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai looked at each other, but they didn't discuss anything at this juncture, but they just returned to the house to rest.

……

"Xuan, the State of Chu is here to make an envoy to the upper hall!"

"Xuan, the State of Chu is here to make an envoy to the upper hall!"

Nominally, the current Zhang Shicheng is just a plain chapter of the Yuan court, not the "King Cheng" he called himself at the beginning. But since he killed Yang Wanzhi, the only commander of the Miao army who could threaten him in eastern Zhejiang, and occupied Jiaxing, Hangzhou and other places, Zhang Shicheng has reverted to his own Wang Fan, who has not done enough.

Therefore, at this time, the process that Wang Zhengyang and Huang Zai followed was completely to meet a person with the same status as their king Zhang Shihua.
