Chapter 80: Win the first game

As soon as Li Ke's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang scolded back as soon as he mentioned the phoenix mouth knife: "Huangkou child, how dare you be presumptuous!" Our army has killed countless Tartars, so how can we talk about collusion? Hmph, Chuzhou was stolen by the Tartars, it is an ownerless thing, you failed to capture Chuzhou City, our army came to take it, how to forcibly seize the territory of friendly forces! For the sake of the same righteous army, you quickly withdraw from Chuzhou, and this town will let you go! ”

After Li Ke heard this, he laughed dumbly, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly became gloomy and terrible, and he shouted: "Why are you laughing? ”

Li Ke's eyes were focused, and his expression was condensed: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you are strong and reasonable, black and white are not distinguished, your men and horses have killed more Tartars, is it possible that my army has killed fewer Tartars?" You already have a strong town, and you are not greedy enough, and you want to snatch the territory of friendly forces, which is really despicable! If you want to cede the land and become king, you can go north to fight against the Tartars, where the territory is vast, why fight with friendly armies? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face was red, his eyes were like flames, and he was about to slap the horse to kill Li Ke, but at this moment, Xu Da stretched out his hand to stop him: "This Li Ke is Deng Yu's brainstorm, it is rumored that his wisdom is over, and the superior must not fall for his agitation plan!" ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately pressed the killing intent in his heart, cast his eyes and looked carefully at the military formation of the Broken Army and the surrounding terrain, when he saw that the Broken Army was untidy, he immediately sneered: "It is rumored that Li Ke's army is a little extraordinary, it turns out that it is in name only, and he dares to face the enemy with this uneven formation, which is really ridiculous!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang finished laughing, and without waiting for Xu Da to respond, he made a knife move, rode his horse and galloped out of the battle, and killed Li Ke directly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

When Li Ke saw it, he was suddenly 'shocked', and hurriedly turned around and hurriedly escaped across the Qingyuan Bridge, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party chased after Li Ke closely, and after chasing for three or four miles, hundreds of crossbowmen suddenly killed on both sides of the road, and fired arrows in unison.

The upheaval sudden, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, and hurriedly waved his knife to block it, and when he blocked all the flying arrows, he found that Li Ke was missing, and the hundreds of crossbowmen of the Broken Army also fled in all directions.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and when he was about to order the soldiers next to him to chase after him, there was a loud rumbling sound in the direction of Qingyuan Bridge, and he saw that the Qingyuan wooden bridge had been broken by Qi Hong's troops.

Guo Xing and Guo Ying led the rear men and horses of Zhu Jun to the side of the bridge, and saw that the wooden bridge was broken and could not cross the bridge to respond, and they were immediately panicked.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew the plan, and hurriedly cast an inquiring look at Xu Da, Xu Da frowned and thought urgently, after a few breaths, Xu Da made a decision in his heart, and immediately suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that the army look east and march.

Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Xu Da's suggestion, and quickly ordered the army to march eastward, and after walking two or three miles, he saw the first army in front of him swinging along the river bank, surrounded by reeds, and densely covered with flags, and he didn't know how many troops there were.

Xu Da knew that Li Ke had just made a radical move, and Xu Da, who had been frustrated, did not dare to be careless, so he suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang to go south around the river.

Zhu Jun marched three or four miles south, and when he passed through a reed field, Xu Da saw that the reeds were growing around, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he immediately ordered the army to be careful of ambush.

It's just that not long after Xu Da's reminder was spoken, the reeds on both sides sounded a shocking shout of killing, and I saw Dong Qing commanding five hundred pikemen, using spears to poke Zhu Jun's horsemen, while Captain Han Meng led five hundred swordsmen to chop the horse's hooves.

For a time, the cavalry of the Zhu army fell to the ground one after another, and a large number of horses were frightened and rushed into chaos, knocking the Zhu army foot soldiers behind into chaos, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were coerced by the chaotic army, and they wanted to stabilize the panic but could not get it.

Dong Qing saw Zhu Yuanzhang in the chaotic army, a trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, and as soon as he mentioned the nine-ring broadsword, he rushed out of the reeds and came to arrest Zhu Yuanzhang, while Han Meng set his eyes on Xu Da.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Dong Qing killing him, and immediately stared, and as soon as he raised the phoenix mouth knife, he greeted Dong Qing, Xu Da showed a solemn expression, and also raised the fire cloud gun to meet Han Meng.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily, the knife was strong and heavy, Dong Qing attacked and won more than ten rounds, but he couldn't take Zhu Yuanzhang in a short time, on the other side, Xu Da's marksmanship was exquisite, and he was full of murderous intent between movement and stillness, and in the face of Han Meng, who was good at martial arts, he had the upper hand steadily.

As time went on, more and more Zhu soldiers stopped their panic and came to help the battle, Dong Qing saw that the battle situation was not good, and hurriedly used all his strength to slash at Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes froze, his face was bulging, his arms were concentrated, and he swept the knife towards the nine-ring knife, only to hear a loud sound of the 'bell', Dong Qing and Zhu Yuanzhang retreated together.

Dong Qing failed to take Zhu Yuanzhang, and saw that several Zhu army soldiers and horses were approaching, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers of the Broken Army to flee into the reeds, and on the other side, Han Meng was also defeated by Xu Da and retreated, leading the men and horses of his headquarters to flee into the depths of the reeds.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly gathered more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and was preparing to chase and kill the 'fleeing' broken army, but at this time, Xu Da persuaded Zhu Yuanzhang, only to see Xu Da pointing at the dense reeds with a gun, and said loudly: "Superior, this reed bush is dense and narrow, if our army rushes in, once the enemy uses fire to attack, our army will be destroyed." Take the position and straighten out the men and horses first, and then chase after I send someone to find out! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with some puzzlement: "Tiande, the so-called noble soldiers are fast, when our army investigates clearly, I'm afraid that the broken army has already fled!" ”

Fortunately, today, the strength of the Broken Army is insufficient, if the Broken Army ambushes more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the reed field, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang and his party will be killed in a river of blood, Xu Da has almost not lost a single defeat since he participated in the anti-Yuan uprising, and this time he miscalculated twice against the Broken Army, which made Xu Da quite angry in his heart.

However, Xu Da finally suppressed his anger and said: "Superior, that Li Ke is not an ordinary person, this time our army was frustrated, all because we despised him, there is this lesson, we can't make the same mistake again in the future!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the reeds with his eyes for a while, but finally suppressed the urge to pursue, followed Xu Da's advice, and sent people into the reeds to investigate while reorganizing the army.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang finished tidying up the soldiers and horses, and the scouts who went to investigate also came back, and the scouts reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that there were flammable things such as sulfur, flames, and nitrate in the reeds, Zhu Yuanzhang heard it in a cold sweat, but fortunately Xu Da persuaded him, otherwise these thousands of troops would definitely die in the fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed in a row, but in the end, he suddenly laughed and said to Xu Da: "Hahaha, this Li Kezhi is a little good, Tiande, it seems that you have an opponent!" ”

"Although I was frustrated this time, it is a great joy in life to be able to get an opponent who is evenly matched!" Xu Da also laughed, and there was a little more excitement in his bright eyes.

Soon after, the two brothers Guo Xing and Guo Ying arrived, and Xu Da was quite surprised when he saw that the soldiers and armor of the two were messy, and hurriedly asked the two of them the reason.

Guo Xing didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly informed him of the attack on the grain truck by the broken army on the way, Xu Da's face changed after hearing this, and he thought to himself: "This Li Ke's layout is one ring after another, it really can't be underestimated, it seems that in the future, you must be cautious when dealing with this person!" ”
