Chapter 660: Battle

The smoke and dust billowed from far and near, and Zhang Zhijie's army was like a silent black cloud, floating over with the pressure of destroying the city.

Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde sat on their horses, and they had already noticed the battlefield in the distance, although they couldn't see it clearly, but the three armies were clearly distinguished, and they could still see it clearly!

One of the large armies must be the cavalry battalion, which means that King Ning and a large army are fighting here, and it seems that the army is still gathered together, it doesn't look like it has been defeated! However, that army doesn't seem to be very large, about the same as a cavalry battalion! Could it be that Peng Ze's army has been killed, and only this little bit of soldiers and horses remains?

That's miserable, isn't it? In this case, Peng Ze is really not a pity to die! A whole army of 50,000, if there are only a few thousand people left, Emperor Zhengde will not cut his heart!

In fact, Emperor Zhengde's face has become ugly! Originally, he followed Zhang Zhijie's army all the way and saw the battlefield in front of him, and Emperor Zhengde was still a little excited.

Now that he saw the situation on the battlefield clearly, Emperor Zhengde's face turned a little blue, and he said angrily: "That's King Ning's tens of thousands of troops, right?" What about Peng Ze's army? How does it look less than the cavalry battalion's horses? Didn't I give him an army of 50,000? Could it be that he was defeated? ”

In fact, although the other large army seems to be less than the cavalry battalion, it is actually not a lot, after all, the cavalry battalion is cavalry, and the same number of people must seem to be more numerous!

But there's no point in arguing about this, for the figure of 50,000 troops, it doesn't make a difference whether you have 3,000 soldiers or 4,000 soldiers left!

Zhang Zhijie could only say succinctly: "It's really a bit too much!" Even if the battle is lost, how can there be only so many people left?! ”

"Is it more than over? If we hadn't caught up with the army, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have this bit of soldiers and horses left! Really, it's so infuriating! Emperor Zhengde exclaimed.

As the army gradually approached, Zhang Zhijie had already discovered that something was wrong, that army of soldiers and horses did not look like Peng Ze's army, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? ”

"Huh? Huh? Oops, I'm dying! Emperor Zhengde said urgently.

"That doesn't look like Peng Ze's army!" Zhang Zhijie shook his head and explained.

"If it's not Peng Ze's army, how can it be? If it's not Peng Ze's army, whose army might it be? Emperor Zhengde was a little surprised.

Zhang Zhijie observed from all sides while riding on a horse, and explained: "It is likely to be Wu Wending's soldiers and horses!" Peng Ze's army went to war without authorization, Wu Wending was not good to sit idly by, he only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses to the west, Peng Ze brought all his army out of Jiujiang, Wu Wending had to leave at least 5,000 men and horses to defend the city, and it is estimated that there are only so many men and horses to fight! ”

"The emperor looked over there, there were signs of a large army fleeing over there, this is all the way to the west! It should be Peng Ze's army! ”

Zhang Zhijie touched his chin and speculated: "Looking at this, it should be Wu Wending's soldiers and horses who came to reinforce him, and he happened to encounter Peng Ze's army and fled, in order to avoid being scattered by Peng Ze's defeated army, so his army moved to the vicinity of the mound over there!" And Peng Ze's army broke and fled all the way from here! ”

Emperor Zhengde was dumbfounded when he heard it, if it was really as Zhang Zhijie analyzed, then Peng Ze really did enough!

Zhang Zhijie smiled: "Of course, this is just the minister's speculation!" However, Wu Wending's soldiers and horses were only a few thousand, but in the face of King Ning's tens of thousands of troops, they held out for a long time without being defeated, which was really tight! No wonder Wu Wending was able to hold on to Anqing City for more than a month! The minister really wants to see this Anqing prefect! ”

Emperor Zhengde said with a smile: "Wu Wending has indeed made great contributions!" Wang Shouren is an old acquaintance with him, and he has always praised him, which shows that Wu Wending does have some ability! ”

Zhang Zhijie's army marched into the battlefield and joined up with the cavalry battalion, and Sen Han's formation was lined up, and the army of Wu Wending and King Ning finished the font.

has already defeated King Ning's army twice, so Zhang Zhijie's army is like a rainbow in morale and has a very obvious psychological advantage! Although King Ning's army did not flee, but had been moving frequently, Zhang Zhijie was not too worried, after all, the combat power of the army was not greatly improved in a while!

After observing King Ning's army from a distance, now King Ning's army formation is also a little strict, compared to the first major war, it was like two armies!

But can this change anything? It seems that nothing can be changed, if you talk about the formation, King Ning's army and Zhang Zhijie's army are still incomparable! It's just that this doesn't seem to give King Ning any psychological advantage!

So what makes King Ning's army still fearless on the battlefield? Zhang Zhijie smiled calmly, whispered a few words, and a herald took the order and rode away quickly to Wu Wending's headquarters.

"I've seen Lord Wu! The little one came by order of the emperor and the admiral! ”

Wu Wending was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly dismounted and said, "Is the emperor in the army?" ”

"Yes! The emperor is here, and the little one has come to herald, Lord Wu has worked hard, and he also asks Lord Wu to lead the troops to rest for the time being! ”

Obviously, this means not to go to war with your own army! Both the Emperor and Admiral Zhang understood that their army had been fighting here for a long time, so they let their army rest for the time being!

This is a sympathy for his own army, and it also shows Admiral Zhang's strong confidence! But it's no wonder, after all, King Ning's army has been defeated twice!

However, Wu Wending felt that something was wrong, after all, King Ning had already been defeated by Zhang Zhijie twice, why didn't his army look demoralized at all!

In the battle just now, Wu Wending had already realized that the morale of King Ning's army was like a rainbow, even better than when he was under the city of Anqing! Will King Ning have anything to rely on?

Wu Wen is determined, he can be confident, but don't be arrogant! The emperor's royal drive is here, and there is no room for any mistakes!

Wu Wending said in a deep voice: "Please go back and report to the emperor and Admiral Zhang, the Anqing army can still participate in the war, and it will not drag the army back." ”

The defenders of Anqing experienced a battle that was even more tragic than this, and the intensity was greater than this, but they all survived, so they were still able to participate in the battle! And Wu Wending thought to himself that he would not drag the army back!

The reason why he did this was not because he didn't care about his own troops, nor did he want to show himself in front of the emperor, let alone to earn merit for himself!

It's because the emperor's royal drive is here, and there is absolutely no room for error, because it is related to the stability of the country and the society, and the life and death of countless Li people!
