At the same time as the successive battles in Chuzhou, in Lai'an County, the broken army led by Hu Dahai and Deng Ming and the Zhu army led by Tang He and Feng Sheng had fought more than ten battles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Although the strength of the Broken Army was less than that of the Zhu Army, Hu Dahai was calm-minded, and he had the courage of ten thousand people, and with the assistance of Deng Ming, he firmly kept the Zhu Army out of Lai'an City.
Tang He was unable to break through Lai'an City for a long time, and he was worried in his heart, and at this time, a soldier came to report that Li Shanchang had transported ordnance, grain and grass ten miles away.
Tang He was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately went out of the camp to greet him, and after seeing Li Shanchang riding a horse approaching, he dismounted and waited, Li Shanchang saw Tang He so courteous, and hurriedly dismounted to return the salute.
Tang He smiled and invited Li Shanchang to get on the horse, and the two walked forward side by side, on the way, Tang He whispered to Li Shanchang: "Mr. Baimu, this general dismounted five miles out of the camp to greet him, it can be seen that I am very respectful to Mr." ”
When Li Shanchang heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "General Dingchen has not done enough!" ”
Tang He raised his eyebrows, and he was not angry at Li Shan's growth, but asked with a smile: "What should General Ben do to be enough?" ”
Li Shanchang stopped his horse and said loudly: "If General Dingchen does his best to help the superior pacify the world, unify the rivers and mountains, and let Li have the honor to go down in history, it will be very respectful!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Tang He immediately stroked his palms and laughed, and the soldiers of the Zhu army around him were also in high spirits when they heard the words, and their morale soared.
It's just that not long after Zhu Junzhong's civil and military deliberations began, he received the war letter issued by Hu Dahai, Tang He opened the letter with a gloomy face and watched it, just read a few lines, he was furious, tore up the letter, and then slapped the case and shouted angrily: "Hu Dahai, this thief is too deceitful, see I will send troops to kill him now!! ”
"General Dingchen don't be impatient, this Hu Dahai deliberately provoked you to fight, if you are angry, you will fall for his tricks, now our army has enough food and grass, complete armaments, and the morale of the whole army is high, when the battle is renewed, it will be able to break through the bamboo, and take down Ancheng!"
Li Shanchang stroked his beard lightly and talked eloquently, Tang He heard the words, his anger was restrained, and after the two discussed it carefully for a while, they decided on a battle strategy.
In the early morning of the next day, Tang He commanded 3,000 troops to come to Lai'an City, only to see Tang He holding a Liquan knife, wearing red armor, as if his body was burning with flames, and a black war horse under his crotch, Feng Sheng on the left, Miao Tycoon on the right, the two generals were on the back of the tiger, and the anger was pressing, guarding on both sides, Li Shanchang was wearing a green robe and chain mail, standing behind the three people, and watched the battle situation.
After the drum of the Zhu army's three links sounded, he came to Ancheng to kill a group of people and horses, and quickly set up a formation, only to see the flag of the broken army, the two generals were draped all over their bodies, standing in front of the formation, the left side of the face was covered with black iron face, holding a crescent halberd, a bow and arrow with him, it was Hu Dahai, and the right side of the general had sharp eyes, holding a Hongming knife in his hand, and he was also carrying a bow and arrow, which was Deng Ming.
Hu Dahai slapped the horse and danced the halberd, and went out of the battle first, straight to Tang He, Tang He smiled coldly, pulled up the Liquan knife, and immediately rushed out of the formation.
The two horses rushed against each other, Hu Dahai, Tang and the sword and halberd collided, and the onslaught did not stop, and the two generals fought for thirty or forty rounds, and there was still no winner or loser, and the officers and men of the two armies were shocked to see it.
I saw that Hu Dahai's arm strength was amazing, the halberd opened and closed widely, and every halberd was swung with great momentum, but Tang He was not inferior, the knife style was sharp and fierce, and the two of them killed equally.
At the same time, in the formation of the Broken Army, a small general whispered in Deng Ming's ear: "General Deng, the person wearing a green robe and chain mail opposite is called Li Shanchang, who is an important adviser of Zhu Yuanzhang. ”
As soon as these words came out, Deng Ming's heart was immediately pounding, and he was impatient, without the slightest hesitation, a horse and a knife rushed out, like a lightning light, stabbing directly at Li Shanchang.
In the Zhu army's array, Feng Sheng and Miao Tycoon saw Deng Ming killing, and immediately went out to intercept it, Deng Ming was brave and fierce, and smashed Feng Sheng's big knife away with a concentrated knife, and then swept the hammer that swept towards Miao Tycoon with the power of the counterattack.
The three of them turned their horses to fight, although Deng Ming had one enemy and two enemies, but he faintly had the upper hand, Li Shanchang saw this, and urgently dispatched a team of sword and shield soldiers to surround and kill.
Seeing that the goal of capturing Li Shanchang failed, Deng Ming's mind turned, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart, and he immediately turned around and 'hurried back to his own position'.
Miao Tycoon saw that Deng Ming was about to escape, and immediately chased with a hammer, Feng Sheng on the side saw that Miao Tycoon was chasing too quickly, and was about to make a reminder, at this moment, Deng Ming suddenly cast a move back to the saber, right in the face of Miao Tycoon, Miao Tycoon fell off the horse in an instant, and after rolling a few laps, he was motionless, and he was completely lifeless.
Tang He saw that Miao Daheng fell off his horse, he was shocked, hurriedly got rid of Hu Dahai, and rushed back to the main formation, Hu Dahai immediately rode his horse and chased after him, seeing that Tang He was about to flee into the array, Hu Dahai quickly drew his bow and arrows, ready to shoot at Tang He's back.
At this moment, in the Zhu army's array, a team of soldiers holding iron shields quickly came out of the battle and built a shield wall behind Tang He.
Hu Dahai then shot three more arrows, but failed to break through the iron shield, so he took advantage of the momentum of victory in the battle to wave his troops to cover the killing.
In the face of the broken army rushing like a tiger coming down the mountain, Li Shanchang took a pair of Mount Tai to collapse in front of him, and his color remained unchanged, and he methodically commanded Zhu Junsaber and shield men to erect huge shield walls in front of the battle.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shanchang ordered the crossbowmen behind the shield wall to fire arrows in unison, and for a while, the arrows fell like a shower on the way of the Breaker Army's charge, and the soldiers and horses in the front of the Breaker Army suffered heavy casualties.
Hu Dahai was shocked when he saw this, and immediately shouted to withdraw his troops, and when he heard the order to withdraw his troops, the soldiers of the Broken Army immediately breathed a sigh of relief and retreated in a panic.
The situation reversed, Li Shanchang immediately ordered the pursuit, and then saw Zhu Jun's shield wall exposed two openings, Tang He and Feng Sheng each led a group of men and horses to kill, Tang and Feng made friends with Miao Tycoon, in order to avenge their friends, the two of them were full of murderous energy, and rushed forward bravely.
Just when Tang and Feng Er were about to enter the tide of the broken soldiers, two feather arrows pierced the void and flew towards the hearts of the two.
Tang and Feng, who had escaped the plot, were furious, raised their eyes to look in the direction of the arrows, and saw Hu Dahai and Deng Ming all drawing their bows and arrows, and they were about to shoot again.
Tang He and Feng Sheng were quite jealous of the archery skills of Hu and Deng, so they slowed down the pursuit slightly, while Hu Dahai and Deng Ming saw that Tang and Feng were on guard, and did not shoot arrows, so they first commanded the soldiers of the Broken Army to return to the city quickly.
When most of the soldiers of the Broken Army entered Ancheng, Hu Dahai and Deng Ming, who were in charge of the broken army, glanced at each other, and unexpectedly opened their bows and arrows together, and launched a provocation against Tang He and Feng Sheng.
Tang He's anger and hatred are hard to dissipate, and he immediately slapped his horse forward, Hu Dahai saw it, smiled, loosened the string and released the arrow, the arrow flew like light, Tang He didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly dodged sideways, at this moment, another arrow broke through the void The sound broke out, Tang He just dodged an arrow not long ago, he felt a pain in his chest, but he was shot by Hu Dahai's two-star arrow.
