Chapter 468: Fighting the Enemy Again

After a day's rest, the Yan army was also stationed in Jiahe, and felt that it was almost time to rest, so Zhu Di recruited the energetic generals into the Chinese army tent again.

"The report came just now, and since he was stationed here, Sheng Yong has not taken any more action, and it seems that he is still very cautious."

Zhu Di thought about it and said to everyone.

The generals were silent for a while, and Zhu Neng said,

"Your Highness, the opponent's strength is still twice as large as our army, and it seems that it is still necessary to make a quick surprise attack."

"You're not wrong at all,"

Nodding at him, Zhu Di habitually looked at the terrain map, and then said,

"But you can't just rush to attack, the lonely king thinks it's better to test its reality first. In this case, I'll take a few people to take a light cavalry assault first, and then make a specific plan when I come back. ”

"What?"

Qiu Fu hurriedly asked,

"Your Highness, do you still want to fight this striker yourself?!"

"yes,"

Zhu Di's gaze swept over his face, and then he looked at Tan Yuan inadvertently, and saw that his face was very unnatural, so he was explaining to everyone, but also to him,

"From the point of view of combat capability, the Southern Army is not an opponent of our army at all, and in terms of cavalry alone, they cannot compete with us. According to King Gu's estimate, Sheng Yong will definitely still rely on his firearms and poisonous crossbow as the main means, so it is safer for me to test the matter of this vanguard, and you will lead the three armies to suppress the position in case the southern army attacks. ”

"I'll do as I was told!"

The generals replied in unison......

The next day, the whole army of the Yan army opened up the formation, and Sheng Yong led the whole army of the southern army to immediately show up the team and stabilize the three armies.

As Zhu Di expected, although Sheng Yong was promoted to a general at this time, the pressure that followed was also very great, so he would take the whole army to Texas and take the initiative to attack. But he is also very clear that he commands an army of 200,000, plus there are Ping'an and Wu Jie to cooperate in the battle, as long as it is steady and steady, with firearms and poisonous crossbows as the advantage, although it is not said that it will definitely be able to defeat the Yan King, but it will not be defeated, and the Yan army is insufficient to withstand the protracted war of attrition, and finally has a chance to repel it.

With such a plan, Sheng Yong strictly adhered to the concept of steady progress, and arranged the 200,000 army without any flaws, no matter which direction the other party came from, there would be no problem, and then he personally came to the front of the battle to confront the Yan army.

However, what he didn't expect was that just as the two sides were in full swing, four fast horses galloped out of the Yan army formation and rushed towards the southern army array. Who would have thought that such a scene would happen, Sheng Yong was even more unexpected, and hurriedly ordered the fire battalion to step forward and shoot him as long as the other party dared to approach.

Soon, the four horsemen had galloped in, but what surprised Sheng Yong was that the person on the white horse who took the lead was plain robe, soft armor, and majestic, who would it be if it wasn't King Yan himself? Frightened, he hurriedly waved his hand and asked the soldiers to put down the firecracker, staring at the other party in a daze, to see what he wanted to do.

The four people who came were Zhu Di and Zheng He, except for Zhu Di himself, no one dared to hurt him, Zheng He, Wu Pingwen, and Chai Jingnan all had peerless martial arts, and they were much more stable than other generals to follow, not to mention that these three people had been accustomed to protecting him, so they couldn't take them with them.

Let's say that Zhu Di led the three of them straight to the front of the southern army, and after proudly scanning these soldiers, he actually swept in front of the three armies from left to right, and then turned around, nodded towards Sheng Yong and said,

"It is worthy of being 'General Pingyan', the formation is really stable enough!"

This provocation was really successful, enough to make everyone in the Southern Army so angry that they vomited blood, but there was no other way except to glare angrily, Sheng Yong stared at Zhu Di and waved his hand fiercely,

"Cavalry battalion, chase me! Be sure to capture him alive! ”

Immediately, more than a thousand cavalry flashed out from behind Sheng Yong. But it turned out that although there were few light cavalry in the southern army, after several battles with the Yan army, Sheng Yong also began to think about it, so he took the time to select thousands of people after a short training to form a cavalry battalion, and they were also equipped with firearms.

At this time, seeing the cavalry rushing out of the southern army, Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said to the three people around him,

"You are in front, I am in the back, retreat!"

The four of them began to run back one by one, with Zhu Di himself covering behind, and even if the pursuing Southern cavalry had more than a hundred guns in their hands, they did not dare to fire. Seeing that he was about to chase in front of the Yan army's formation, he suddenly saw Zhu Di turn his horse and flash to the side, and in an instant, he saw the front row of the Yan army retreating in unison, and countless crossbowmen appeared, as he raised the horse whip high, ten thousand arrows were fired at the cavalry and horse team of the southern army, and the row that rushed to the front immediately fell off his horse and died.

Sheng Yong, who was watching the battle from behind, saw it clearly, and when he saw that he didn't know it well, he hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, and the cavalry of the Southern Army retreated.

At this time, because of this short contact, although it was not a big victory, it was obvious that Sheng Yong was played by King Yan on the spot, and the morale of the Yan army increased greatly. However, under the command of Sheng Yong, the southern army quickly resumed its formation, and then both sides began to discuss the next battle plan.

Finding that the range of the opponent's strong bow and crossbow was amazingly far away and the power was also very huge, Sheng Yong had to guard against it, and immediately ordered the shield player to be moved to the front, and ordered the generals Zhuang De and Chu Zhi to strictly guard the position.

And Zhu Di returned to the formation, and the generals hurriedly greeted him, Zhu Neng asked,

"Your Highness, how is the opponent's formation?"

"It's sturdy,"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said,

"I took a cursory look just now, and Sheng Yong's formation was arranged very tightly, and there were almost no flaws."

"So what?"

Zhang Wu, the general who had just been transferred from the rear battalion to the front battalion to replace Zhang Yu's position, asked.

Zhu Di thought for a while,

"It seems that we can only attack first, mobilize the southern army to make it show flaws. In this way, there are cavalry in the opponent's middle formation, or this king will lead a team of men and horses to break through from the left side, Zhu Neng, you and Zhang Wu will hold the whole army, and if you see chaos in the southern army, you will attack from the middle lane. Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan, the two of you are moving for the side and waiting for the plane. ”

The four generals agreed together. Immediately, Zhu Di ordered 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 spear infantry to attack from the left flank of the Southern Army.

Due to the loss of the Yan army's strong bow and crossbow just now, Sheng Yong ordered the shield hand to stand at the front, and at this time, seeing that the prince of Yan led his men and horses to rush to the left flank, he immediately ordered the shield hand to go to meet him. Who knew that Zhu Di had expected him to make such an arrangement, and did not take the archers as the front, but led five thousand spear infantry to rush in front, and those shield bearers were all armed with short knives, and the spears in the hands of the Yan army were stabbed indiscriminately, and the first layer of defense was quickly broken through.

Then, Zhu Di ordered the infantry to dodge on both sides, and 10,000 cavalry instantly rushed to the second line of defense on the left flank of the Southern Army. After Sheng Yong noticed it, he ordered Chu Zhi to lead his troops to reinforcements, and soon the left flank position was stabilized again.
