The day of the decisive battle is getting closer and closer, Zhang Fu has been ordered to set up an ambush in Lingbi, and Zhu Di's momentum of attacking the city is getting weaker and weaker, because he has transferred most of the Shenji battalion to Lingbi, where to ambush, waiting for Yun Zichen's army to rush into his ambush circle.

Xu Huizu saw that Zhu Di's momentum of attacking the city was getting weaker and weaker, and he knew that it must be Yun Zichen's army coming to the rescue, and Zhu Di had to discharge his army to deal with it, which made him extremely excited.

However, he is still an old general after all, and he knows that it may be Zhu Di's strategy to delay the army, and when he goes out of the city to find Zhu Di for a decisive battle, Zhu Di is rushing up and taking Fengyang. So he just sent a small team of people out of the city to inquire about Yun Zichen's news.

This battle not only touched the hearts of Yun Zichen, Zhu Di, and Xu Huizu, but also affected Zhu Yunwen's heart, Fengyang can be said to be the last barrier in Nanjing, if this battle is lost, his Nanjing will be in crisis.

And so far, there has been no vassal king to King Qin, which means that if Zhu Di wins, he can only rely on the established 30,000 guards to resist.

Things have developed so far, which has greatly surprised Zhu Yunwen, he never thought that Zhu Di would be able to drive straight into Nanjing and hit the door of Nanjing. If he had known this, the excuse of killing his uncle's name back then, maybe Zhu Di would have turned into a white bone.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and what can be done now is to use all their strength and finish their work in one battle, after all, their army still has an advantage.

Yun Zichen's 100,000 army, plus Xu Huizu's 80,000 army, is 180,000. And Zhu Di's army is only 80,000, and they are from the north, so they are obviously not as familiar with the climate in the south as their soldiers.

But Zhu Yunwen was still not at ease, and transferred another 20,000 from Nanjing, and added Xu Huizu's men and horses to 100,000, and he wanted to annihilate Zhu Di's army in one fell swoop with absolute superiority.

The imperial court wanted to finish the battle. Zhu Di also thought so, so he didn't leave a way back at all, and transferred all the men and horses in Peixian and Xuzhou to Lingbi, all the hot air balloons went to the sky to monitor the enemy's situation, all the Shenji battalions were ready to be in place, all the bullets were distributed, and the gunpowder barrels and fierce fire oil were all moved to Lingbi, he was going to fight a decisive battle with Yun Zichen and Xu Huizu's army. It's a matter of success or failure.

"General! An Guogong's army has already marched thirty miles east of Lingbi, and it will be able to reach Lingbi at dusk today! ”

In Fengyang City, Xu Huizu heard the news that made him excited.

"Good!"

Xu Huizu jumped up excitedly, this was the most exciting news he had heard since he entered Fengyang.

In the past few days, the indiscriminate bombing of Zhu Di's Shenji Battalion and hot air balloons has made him feel very aggrieved, and the head of the city wall has been cut down a few feet. These days, he is always looking forward to being able to go out of the city and have a decisive battle with Zhu Di. But he was afraid that after leaving the city, he fell for Zhu Di's tricks.

But now he is not afraid, Zhu Di's army attacking the city is getting smaller and smaller, obviously threatened by Yun Zichen, and he began to transfer troops to deal with Yun Zichen in the east. That's giving him a chance.

"Someone! Pass the order! When the sun sets! The whole army is out of town! Destroy the traitors! Xu Huizu said loudly, releasing the resentment in his heart.

When the soldiers heard this, they also cheered, and they were being pressed and beaten these days. I held back too much resentment in my heart, but I finally released it.

So when the sun set, Xu Huizu led an army of 100,000. Mightily out of Fengyang, the hundreds of people arranged in front of Zhu Di saw this, hurriedly retreated, and fled to Lingbi in a hurry.

"Give me chase! It's just the end of the road! ”

Xu Huizu sneered, he didn't worry about Zhu Di playing any tricks now, with Yun Zichen attacking behind their backs, it would be useless for Zhu Di to have a conspiracy.

At the same time, the 100,000 army led by Yun Zichen had also arrived in Lingbi and confronted the army led by Zhang Fu.

These two young generals have arrogance and resentment in their hearts, and they did not go head-to-head when they were in the river before. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally will not let it go, and a big battle has started east of Lingbi.

But Zhang Fu only had a few thousand men, how could he be the opponent of Yun Zichen's 100,000 troops, he only held out for less than an hour, and he had already suffered heavy losses.

So Zhang Fu had to retreat, otherwise he would all be lost here.

"General, why don't you chase!"

Sheng Yong saw that Zhang Fu was defeated and retreated, so he let Yun Zichen take advantage of the victory to pursue.

"General Sheng, you have fought with Zhang Fu, do you think he has this ability?" Yun Zichen did not order the pursuit, but asked Sheng Yong.

"No, this son is by no means in vain, if he hadn't underestimated the enemy in the previous station, the last general might have been left behind." Sheng Yong remembered a fight with Zhang Fu in Jiaohe, and he still had palpitations.

"That's right, Zhang Fu will definitely not fight like this, he only lasted for less than an hour, and then he was defeated and retreated, there must be an ambush." Yun Zichen said with certainty.

"There is an ambush? So what to do? Do you just let them go? Sheng Yong said.

"Put? How can it be. Even if there is an ambush ahead, we will break through, but now is not the time. Yun Zichen said.

"Huh? Not time? What does the general mean by this? Sheng Yong asked curiously.

"There is a fight on our side, Xu Huizu will definitely lead the army out of the city and attack us on both sides." Yun Zichen's eyes flickered.

"What does the general mean by letting Xu Huizu take the lead?" Sheng Yong's face changed, they had also heard about the consequences of the collision between the Fengyang army and Zhu Di's army, and they paid a price of 20,000 people to kill hundreds of Zhu Di, and let this army attack Zhu Di, isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

"Hmph, since Zhu Di set up an ambush, he just wants to wipe us out, as long as we stagger the attack, their ambush will naturally have no effect. If we use an ambush in order to deal with Xu Huizu's men and horses, we will enter with a large army and wipe out Zhu Di when the time comes! If he doesn't use the ambush, hmph, Xu Huizu's 100,000 horses will definitely be able to consume tens of thousands of his horses, even if there is an ambush at that time? Yun Zichen sneered.

"But the general, in this way, that Xu Huizu ......"

Sheng Yong's face changed, in this way, Xu Huizu would become cannon fodder, if Zhu Di had not used the ambush, then Yun Zichen would not have sent troops, and he would not send troops until Xu Huizu's men and horses were killed and wounded.

"Hmph. In order to wipe out Zhu Di, I can't care so much, and after this battle, I will personally ask the emperor for guilt! Yun Zichen snorted coldly, he remembered the battle of Dongchang, if he was vicious enough to dare to lose some more men and horses, and attack Sanping Gorge earlier, he would not be able to wait for 30,000 to let Zhu Di go, and there would be no battle today.

So now he has to be ruthless! No matter how much people are lost. also want to wipe out Zhu Di's entire army!

His decision really pushed Xu Huizu to a desperate situation.

When Xu Huizu attacked Lingbi with 100,000 horses, he was blocked by Zhu Di's army, and he couldn't advance a bit, even if it was a heavy cavalry, he couldn't attack Zhu Di's position, because before that position, there were many ravines with straw on them. Once the cavalry falls in, it immediately becomes a live target. And if the infantry falls in, the bamboo tip inside will kill them!

"Fill it in for me! Even if it's filled with human lives! Fill it in for me, too! ”

Xu Huizu roared frantically. Then there were soldiers who went up with tools to fill the ravines, and those who fell into them were treated as a grave when they died, and those who did not die were buried alive. Finally, the front is filled.

However, when Xu Huizu gave the order to charge, he saw hot air balloons flying in the sky, raining fierce fire oil. Then came an overwhelming barrage of rockets, and because his army was so dense, he lost thousands of men in one fell swoop, and made no progress at all.

"Charge me! Take the ground! Feng Gong Feng Hou! ”

Xu Huizu was already crazy and ordered to continue the attack.

"General! An Guogong did not attack at all. ”

At this moment, a soldier reported to Xu Huizu.

"What!"

As soon as Xu Huizu heard this, he slapped the soldier and ate, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

"Shaft! I want Lao Tzu to be cannon fodder! Xu Huizu has already understood all the qiqi at this moment, Zhu Di transferred manpower in order to set up this big ambush, and the reason why Yun Zichen did not attack was to let his men and horses play all Zhu Di's hole cards, and then reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"What a calculation! Good calculation! ”

Xu Huizu's face showed determination, now that he has no way to retreat, Zhu Yunwen can send him to Fengyang, which is a helpless move. But he is Xu Da's eldest son! His father is the pride of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't be a coward! If he retreats at this time, then he Xu Huizu will not be able to raise his head in his life! Their Xu family will also be disgraced by this! After his death, I am afraid that he will not even be able to enter the ancestral hall of the Xu family.

So knowing that he has become cannon fodder, he has to take this cannon fodder as well.

So Xu Huizu pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, and his old face showed a trace of perseverance, pointing to Zhu Di's position in front of him.

"Kill the Yan King! Punish rebellion! Give it to me! ”

Xu Huizu took the lead, and at this time he had to use this to clarify his ambitions.

Seeing that their own commanders were rushing forward so high, those soldiers also began to rush up one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Kill all of them except the one who hit the head!"

Zhang Yu commanded the army and gave orders to the soldiers, because the one who took the lead was Xu Huizu, Zhu Di's brother-in-law, and Zhu Di gave him an order not to kill Xu Huizu.

At the beginning, Zhu Di escaped because of such a strange order, and he didn't want to let all the soldiers die here because of such a strange order.

But he also knew that on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, let alone a flintlock pistol.

So he gave an order, if Xu Huizu really died, he would bear this charge for Zhu Di, anyway, he was a person who had died once.

"General, Xu Huizu's army is attacking Zhu Di's defense line without dying, and now it has suffered heavy losses." Yun Zichen listened to the report of the visitor, his face was a little grim, so far, he had not seen any ambush in Zhu Di, which made him very uneasy.

"General, do we really have to wait forever!"

Sheng Yong was a little angry, just watching his own people die, but he waited peacefully, it was indeed a torment.

"Wait! All wait! Those who send troops without my orders! No mercy! ”

Yun Zichen roared loudly and walked towards the front army. (To be continued......)
