Chapter 469: Another Great General

Just returned to the camp, an unexpected thing happened-

Just now, after Zhu Di simply sent generals, Tan Yuan saw that His Royal Highness ordered him to be the main general of the side, and his heavy mood suddenly became brighter, but King Yan did not ignore him, and would still entrust him with important tasks. Later, because he saw that the southern army was mobilized in order to defend against the impact of King Yan, so that the dust in its formation was flying, and he mistakenly thought that the time to break through had come, so he and his general Dong Zhenbao led the men and horses of his headquarters to rush into the formation.

And the generals of the Southern Army who are responsible for the defense here are all in command of Zhuang De, and his subordinates happen to have a hook hand that was originally used to deal with the cavalry of the Yan Army, seeing Tan Yuan taking the lead in killing his own formation, he immediately asked people to transfer the hook hand, and at the same time did not show weakness to meet the battle, as a result, another melee began in the right army formation of the Southern Army.

This melee was really unexpected by the commanders of both sides, Sheng Yong also thought that this was the tactic of "striking the east and attacking the west" adopted by King Yan, pretending to hit the left, but actually attacking the right, plus Tan Yuan was a famous general who was brave and good at fighting, and the southern army on the right began to cause chaos, and in desperation, he had to lead the Chinese army to reinforcements.

And the Yan army didn't expect that Tan Yuan would lead the troops into the enemy formation alone, seeing that the opponent's camp began to waver, Zhu Di simply seized the opportunity to lead 10,000 cavalry around Sheng Yong's back with Zhu Neng and Zhang Wu and fought with all their might.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the southern army was not accustomed to fighting at night, and it was attacked by the enemy on its back, although the number of people was several times that of the other side, and when the two sides were fighting together, they could not take advantage. And Sheng Yong wanted to join up with the right army to reorganize the team and resist the enemy together, but unexpectedly, the Yan army was killed behind him, so he had to turn around and come back to meet the enemy.

Zhu Di and Zhu Neng and others were interspersed in the southern army formation, just wanting to join the surrounded Tan Yuan's department, but gradually felt that the shouting and killing sound over there weakened, and he said that it was not good, so he hurriedly rushed forward, and saw Zhuang De leading the crowd to fight with a part of the Yan army, Zhu Neng killed from behind without saying a word, and Zhuang was caught off guard and was stabbed under his horse, and Sheng Yong's other general Chu Zhi was also killed by Zhang Wu.

The two main generals of the Southern Army were killed, and the offensive was suddenly greatly reduced, and Zhu Di and others took the opportunity to join the rest of the Yan army, broke out of the encirclement and returned to their own army.

As soon as he returned, Zhu Di turned his horse's head and came to the retreating right army, and asked urgently,

"What about Tan Yuan? Where is he! ”

"Your Highness, General Tan, he is here ......"

An adjutant general led a horse, and it was Tan Yuan on the horse's back, but he was already stained with blood and lost his life......

Zhu Di hurriedly got off the horse and came to his corpse, stunned for a long time, Fang said,

"Why is this happening? How did he die? ”

The adjutant general briefly recounted it.

But it turned out that after Tan Yuan rushed into the enemy formation, he attracted a large number of southern troops, and Zhuang De in the process of fighting with him, transferred a hook hand, and stumbled the leg of Tan Yuan's war horse when he was unprepared, causing his mount to fall to the ground and throwing him to the ground, as a result, Zhuang De was killed with a knife, and his general Dong Zhenbao was also killed at that moment. Fortunately, Zhu Di and others arrived later, and the generals who escaped were able to snatch back the bodies of the two of them.

Raising his hand and gently stroking the body that had become cold, Zhu Di knew very well why he was so impatient, although Zhuang De, who killed Tan Yuan, had also been killed by Zhu Neng just now, which was regarded as avenging him, but the loss of such a general was still angry.

Suddenly, Zhu Di turned his head and said to Zhu Neng,

"You put Tan Yuan's body in place, and then order the whole army and the Lone King to go to Sheng Yong to settle accounts!"

"Your Highness, what do you want to do here?"

Seeing that his eyes were already burning with anger, knowing that he was angry because of another general, Zhu Neng had to persuade,

"It's dark now, and it's dangerous for you to go after it! Let's wait until tomorrow and early in the morning to regroup and fight again! ”

"It's because it's already dark that I'm going,"

Zhu Di strode back to his war horse, and walked aside,

"The southern army is not good at night fighting, this is exactly what I can use, you temporarily lead the whole army to rest and recuperate, and wait for the king to come back and fight again."

"Your Highness, be careful......

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhu Neng knew very well that his lord could not pull back a hundred cows, although he could not rest assured, he could only let him go.

In fact, although Tan Yuan's death also brought a lot of blows to Zhu Di, relatively speaking, it was far less heartbroken than when he lost Zhang Yu, and a large part of it was still angry with himself, because he felt that he had failed to appease this general before the war, so that his risky attack was completely his responsibility as the commander of the three armies, but this fire could only be vented on the enemy position.

At this time, Sheng Yong was retreating as a team, and Zhu Di selected ten people from his own soldiers, and Zheng He and three people accompanying him, but these fourteen people rushed to the tail of the southern army and slashed and killed them as if they were in a no-man's land. The soldiers of the Southern Army, who originally thought that they had temporarily quit the army, thought that someone would come to attack, and hurriedly prepared for the battle, Zhu Di whistled and led everyone to rush out of the enemy formation Pegasus. When the Southern Army reorganized and wanted to set up camp, it was killed again, and it was another messy rush, and the Southern Army soldiers had to prepare for the battle again, and Zhu Di and the others had already left.

So back and forth, Sheng Yong was really unbearable, so he had to order the whole army to retreat three miles and set up camp.

But after such a long time of tossing, it was already late at night, at this time, the moonlight was unknown, the world was confused, and it was difficult to identify the scenery and the road around. After walking for a while, Zhu Di finally saw a piece of low bushes nearby, and Zhu Di led everyone into the camp, preparing to rush back to the camp at dawn the next day.

Finally quieted down, everyone was a little tired, and they didn't have dry food with them, so they could only go hungry first and rest for the rest of the night. The war horses were also casually gnawing on the young leaves and grass that had just been sent out around them, but the uneasiness in Zhu Di's heart still couldn't be calmed.

Since the capture of the nine gates of Beiping City began the "Jingyan Battle", it has been nearly two years now, unconsciously, his mentality has changed from full of grievances "revenge and self-protection" to hatred and hatred of the "snow hatred and shame", although the old monk Daoyan has always warned him that the goal should be to seize the world and ascend the throne, but after all, the person sitting on the dragon chair now is his nephew, the nephew who does not allow anyone to kill his fourth uncle.

On the other hand, can he, Zhu Di, really kill Yun Wei? Who knows how it will end in the end, anyway, there is no turning back, Zhang Yu and Tan Yuan died for him, and there may be others in the future, but those generals who can survive in the end must not disappoint everyone, let alone let the dead lose their lives in vain, so even if it is just for them, they have to go on......

A robe covered his body, Zhu Di sensitively opened his sleepy eyes, and saw Zheng He silently guarding his side.
