Well, I can't brag either, and when I come back, I can't explode either, because I have to work in addition to codewords... Woo woo ~ ~~~
Zhu Changyuan led the army forward, and the walkie-talkie in his hand came from time to time to report!
"Report to the general, Zhang Xianzhong's army has set off, and the vanguard troops are going down the north bank of the Han River, and there are still eighty miles away from Xiangyang City!"
"Holy General, Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard troops went down the river, walking on the north bank of the Han River, and there are still seventy miles away from Xiangyang City."
"Sixty miles."
"Fifty miles."
When Zhu Changyuan heard this, there was no sadness or joy on his face, he simply sat on the back of an iron horse and led the army to walk slowly along the north bank of the Han River.
In this battle, no matter how many people Zhang Xianzhong had, his own people were only 200.
Originally, I thought that I could count on the broken captives in Fang County to lead the army to come to support, but I received the news before and couldn't come. Zhang Xianzhong's subordinate generals led 5,000 troops in the canyon, completely blocking the possibility of breaking the army to come out.
It seems that after a thousand calculations, it is still a bad move.
But. Even if it's a bad move. Even Zhang Xianzhong wrapped an army of 100,000 and attacked Xiangyang along the river.
So what?
Xiangyang City can not be. But you, Zhang Xianzhong, must lose a piece of meat.
"Brothers, wait a little longer, whoever sees Zhang Xianzhong's words will tell General Ben, Ben will capture the thief and capture the king first." After Zhu Changyuan finished talking to the brothers behind him, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs and drove forward.
The road on the north bank of the Han River, from Yangyang to Guseong, is smooth and straight, but the south bank is extremely rugged. In addition, there are several cliffs cut by rapids, which are difficult to walk. Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhang Xianzhong led the army down from Gucheng and would inevitably go to the north bank.
Moreover, Zhu Changyuan has scouts buried in the shadows along the river, and he always uses walkie-talkies to transmit Zhang Xianzhong's military information.
Fifty miles.
Forty miles.
Thirty miles.
Twenty miles.
Finally, on the bank of the Han River somewhere from Gucheng to Xiangyang, Zhu Changyuan's two hundred iron cavalry and Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard collided head-on, and the two sides confronted each other.
The vanguard of the army in general. It should be the elite of the elite, and it can play the role of a sharp knife in war. It is used to divide the enemy's army and surprise the unsuspecting enemy, etc., but Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard is obviously not like this.
When Zhu Changyuan saw Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard army from Gucheng, there were only two words in his mind: cannon fodder!
Those who are in tattered clothes and carry hoes in their hands are elite soldiers; Most people only have one that is slightly better; Some carry death scythes in their hands; Someone has a slingshot in his hand to beat birds; Some people carry a black iron pot like a turtle shell on their backs, and they don't know whether they are reluctant to use their own pots or use them as defensive weapons.
However, these are not the most awesome, the most awesome soldiers are those who have nothing else in their hands, only a hidden weapon for self-defense: a half-cut brick!
Zhu Changyuan rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong, but after repeated confirmation, he found that he was indeed not mistaken, this was Zhang Xianzhong's so-called vanguard of the 100,000 army.
Where is this army, this is the peasant, Zhu Changyuan smiled bitterly, and said to Kong He beside him: "I'm afraid it's not even a peasant, the peasant at least has a hoe, I'm afraid these people are just refugees." ”
The Han River is wide, but the terraces along the river are not very open, and only 100 people can pass through them side by side. Zhang Xianzhong's vanguard force had a small number of 20,000 people, and it was like a long dragon without a tail along the river, which was not spectacular.
Zhu Changyuan's 200 cavalry armor was bright and bright, the silver-white alloy emitted a cold light under the sun, and the horses were silently lined up, just blocking the peasant army's journey.
The place where Zhu Changyuan's cavalry troops were stationed was a relatively narrow place on the north bank of the Han River.
There were only 200 people, but they exuded a mountain-like temperament when they blocked the road, and when they simply stopped there, the militia on the opposite side involuntarily stopped, and no one dared to step forward.
At this point, the two sides began to confront each other.
originally planned to capture the thief and capture the king first, but when he saw that Zhang Xianzhong had so many vanguard troops, Zhu Changyuan suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were a little too taken for granted.
Not to mention Zhang Xianzhong, even the shadow of the four righteous sons under him has not been seen.
Zhang Xianzhong's hand is indeed very insidious, using 20,000 militia as the vanguard to frustrate your spirit first, killing 20,000 people in one go, tired and tired to death, even if you are not tired, you are tired to death.
However, Zhang Xianzhong's original intention was not like this, he just wanted to use these 20,000 people as cannon fodder for the siege.
It was extremely easy for Zhu Changyuan to rush or even kill all these militiamen, but he didn't want to do it. These militiamen are no better than those thieves under Fang County and Luo Zhixiong, they are all good citizens around Xiangyang City or Gucheng County, and they are forced to be driven away by Zhang Xianzhong as cannon fodder.
It would be a good thing to be able to subdue them or simply persuade them to turn against them.
Zhu Changyuan groped around for a while, and took out a sharp weapon that he brought from modern society and followed him for a long time: a loudspeaker.
"Brother on the other side!" Zhu Changyuan stood on horseback, drove the horse to the height, and said to the people in front of him who couldn't see the number of people: "This will be Zhu Changyuan!" ”
"This is Zhu Changyuan, Zhu Changyuan who skinned his monkey?"
"Yes, it's him, it is said that he led two hundred cavalry to defeat Sun Xiaofeng in Fang County, and slaughtered all his soldiers, you don't know, there was blood in the entire Malan River at that time."
"Really? How many people do you have to kill? ”
"I heard that more than 100,000 take...
。。。
Fortunately, Zhu Changyuan couldn't hear the discussions of the peasants below. If you really hear it, you will probably be half angry: Lao Tzu only killed 10,000 people. If you come up, you will enlarge me tenfold. Big brother, do I have a grudge against you?
Seeing the peasant army below talking to each other, Zhu Changyuan knew that he had heard of his name, turned up the loudspeaker to the maximum, and said: "General Ben knows that you are all the surrounding people, and you are good citizens!" Coming to fight against the court is nothing more than being coerced by Zhang Xianzhong's thief! ”
"Now, General Ben is giving you a choice?" Zhu Changyuan pointed to the surrounding mountains. Said: "Listen to me, lay down your weapons, don't go any further, and if you disperse, you can still pick up a life; If you insist on going your own way, Sun Xiaofeng of Fang County is a lesson from the past! ”
Zhu Changyuan's words were transmitted through the megaphone to the ears of the peasants, although the voice was loud, the beginning was quite gentle, but when it came to the last sentence of the four words "lessons from the past". Twilight turned cold and ruthless.
After hearing this, the people below instantly thought of the tragic situation of Sun Monkey being skinned. I shuddered involuntarily.
"Yes, if we don't run to the mountains to hide now, and then come out after the army is over, we won't be able to stay in this Xiangyang Mansion, so we will go to Zhejiang, my cousin is begging for a living in Zhejiang, where there are no disasters and no difficulties, and there are good harvests every year."
"Yes, yes, yes! My three children all died in the war, I hate fighting, I quit doing it, Zhang Xianzhong forced me, I'm not here, it's okay to go out. ”
"Go, go, go!"
。。。
Listening to Zhu Changyuan's words, there was a commotion among the people below!
Even if it is a difficult journey of thousands of miles, as long as you reach a place of peace, it is better than losing your life in Xiangyang City
"Woo, woo!"
Just when everyone was talking and Zhu Changyuan was standing on a high place with a loudspeaker and staring indifferently at everyone, among the people opposite, suddenly several people released cold arrows from them at the same time.
The cold arrow broke through the air and shot towards Zhu Changyuan.
"General!"
"Holy General!"
Of course, Zhu Changyuan saw it, but he just smiled slightly, confidently stood on the horse and did not move, and after a second, he only listened to "Dangdang!" With a few sounds, a few sharp swords that seemed to be invincible and could pierce all things, but in front of Zhu Changyuan's silver-white alloy armor, they could only fall to the ground suddenly.
"Huh." Zhu Changyuan looked at his armor, he could hardly find a trace after the impact of the arrow, he smiled, and then flew up from the horse in the twilight.
There seemed to be nowhere to focus in the air, but every time Zhu Changyuan's feet poked down, his body would rise several feet high, and after three or four strokes, he had already flown into the air, and looked in the direction where the cold arrow was fired, and several neatly armored guards surrounded a figure who looked like an officer.
It seems that although Zhang Xianzhong is a big old man, he is also coarse and fine, and there are still people to guide him when he sends people over to be cannon fodder.
"Roar!" Zhu Changyuan in mid-air was lucky, and then his right palm suddenly probed forward, which was the second move of the eighteen palms of the dragon, "Flying Dragon in the Sky".
According to the intermediate fighting skills book, this second type of dragon descending eighteen palms, you must have qi to go to the pulse of the Yang Ming large intestine meridian, jump up in the air, knees slightly bent, lift the qi dantian, wait for the true qi to rise, relax the muscles and bones, think of the jade pillow between the acupoints, and strike high.
Zhu Changyuan struck out with a palm, the momentum was huge, there was a faint roar of the hidden dragon, and the true qi was emitted through the palm force, and the wind and rain were everywhere he went, and he was unparalleled, worthy of being the first kung fu in the world.
"Roar!" The dragon-shaped true qi traveled in mid-air, and with a single blow, it flew straight to the cold arrow and unleashed it, beating the person who was secretly in command and several ironclad soldiers around him into powder.
"Shh Zhu Changyuan struck out with a palm, and almost one-fifth of the internal power in his body was consumed, although this palm technique was powerful, but the internal power in his body was limited after all, and after it was exhausted, he had to rest and condense for several days before it could be filled, so it could not be used indefinitely.
Like the fierce and peerless palm technique just now, he can only hit five or six palms at most in one breath, and after five or six palms, the true qi in his body is exhausted, and it takes several days of hard work to meditate and cultivate before he can be full.
Killing the enemy on the battlefield has to rely on these soldiers under his own command, as for the trick of descending the dragon and eighteen palms, it can play a huge deterrent role, not only to deter the enemy, but also to deter the soldiers under him.
For example, now, Zhu Changyuan fell back from mid-air, and the soldiers behind him shouted one by one in a high-pitched voice: "The general is mighty, the holy general is promising!" and other slogans.
In this way, the people on the opposite side finally gave up the idea of attacking, and they already regarded Zhu Changyuan as a god-like existence in their eyes.
As the old saying goes, if a husband is a man, it is true, just like the current Zhu Changyuan, he gently picked up the big horn in his hand and repeated what he had just said. This time, the militia on the other side were much more honest, and despite the instigation of a few people, they spontaneously dispersed and entered the mountains on both sides of the Han River.
