Chapter 471: The Brave Will Win
Your Highness,"
Sheng Yong suddenly found that he had inadvertently given King Yan a chance to attack the soldiers of the Southern Army, and hurriedly interrupted him,
"In any case, facing the swords and soldiers of the court is a rebellious act, and I beg your pardon that the last general will never agree!"
"That's good,"
Zhu Di sneered and said,
"You and I have to meet on the battlefield! Please take someone back, after a short rest, our two armies will fight again, and the lonely king will say goodbye! ”
After speaking, he turned the horse's head, and in the blink of an eye, he had already gone all the way to the Yan army camp that could be seen in the distance......
When I returned to the camp, the first thing I saw was the anxious faces of the generals in the camp concentrated in the big tent of the Chinese army, and Gao Xu and Gao Sui were also there.
"Dad, you're finally back, if Sanbao hadn't come back in time just now, we would have planned to send troops to fight the Southern Army!"
"Why?"
Zhu Di asked rhetorically as if he was fine,
"Didn't I say, let everyone rest well, and wait for me to come back?"
"But it's all night, isn't it?"
Gao Xu also said anxiously and annoyed,
"You didn't return all night, saying you were going to pursue the enemy, but you have been gone for so long! The child was still saying just now that Dad shouldn't have been chasing him to Nanjing, or if he was caught, if you don't come back, the child will lead the troops to the Southern Army camp to snatch you back! ”
"Don't worry,"
Zhu Di smiled and patted his two sons on the shoulders and said,
"If King Gu is really caught by Sheng Yong, they will definitely go back to Beijing overnight to ask for merit, and will they be stationed on the opposite side waiting for you to fight?"
After that, he looked at the generals and said,
"Ladies and gentlemen, this king has probed deep into their camp this night, and although it seems that there are more people than us, most of them are very weak in combat, so if you calculate it carefully, at most they are equal to our army, that is, the strength is slightly inferior. This king has decided, victory or defeat is in today's battle, even if they can't annihilate the southern army in one fell swoop, they must no longer have the confidence to resist! ”
"Your Highness, are you saying that you went deep into the southern military camp?"
Hearing his words, Qiu Fu looked at him in disbelief and asked.
Zhu Di is still smiling, full of relaxation,
"Yes, our group of fourteen horsemen camped in their camp overnight, I don't believe you can ask Sanbao."
"Oh my God, Your Highness, you're really messing up like this!"
Even Zhu Neng couldn't stay calm, looking helpless.
Gao Xu whispered to Gao Sui,
"What's the matter, second brother, I told you that if our father goes crazy, no one can compare, you didn't believe it at the time, you should believe it this time."
"Dad, still no second brother, you're crazy......"
Gao Sui retorted dissatisfiedly.
Zhu Di naturally heard the conversation between the two sons, so he took over and said,
"That's right, this king was crazy, but he was driven crazy by the traitors and villains in the court. Now I can see very clearly that the Yugoslav Army is definitely not our opponent! Well, since the king has returned, let everyone rest assured, and let the leader of the army bring breakfast here in a moment, and you will eat with the king. Alas, I didn't eat last night and was really starving. ”
Seeing that he was sometimes solemn and solemn, sometimes showing a childish look, that changing expression made the generals really cry and laugh, but in any case, seeing that the lord came back intact, everyone's hearts were much more stable, just waiting for the meal.
After breakfast, Zhu Dichuan gave the order to go, and the whole army was in the northeast.
Knowing that today's battle is very critical, if there is no obvious progress, it will be very detrimental to the morale of the whole army, so before leaving the camp, Zhu Di also specially told the generals that "the two armies are equal, and the brave will win." At this time, it was the beginning of the morning, and the officers and men of the three armies were already lined up in front of the formation.
And Sheng Yong also thought that the other party would go out in advance, so after the pursuit of King Yan was not successful and he returned to the camp, he also ordered the whole army to eat breakfast immediately, and then prepare to meet the enemy.
However, at this moment, his mood has changed very subtly compared to when he first fought against Yan Jun as a general. When he was a subordinate general under Li Jinglong, Sheng Yong really had a feeling that the four princes of the previous emperor were simply invincible, and in that person's eyes, you couldn't see any confusion at all. But later, after Jinan and Tie Xuan fought the enemy together, I learned that His Royal Highness King Yan, the legendary "God of War in the North", was also a mortal after all, and he also had joys and sorrows, as well as his weaknesses.
Later, he became a general, and he began to face him alone, and after several encounters, he had the feeling that he was about to be captured, which can be said to be close at hand, or even within easy reach, but repeatedly let him successfully get out of danger, which also made Sheng Yong annoyed, hating that person for being so cunning. However, just now, he led more than thousands of cavalry to chase after him, and King Yan dared to stop single-handedly and face so many enemies.
Sheng Yong admitted that at that moment, he had been completely defeated by him. Just imagine, who would have such courage to dare to face nearly a thousand people alone, even if there is the emperor's "ban on killing", but as the saying goes, the sword has no eyes, who dares to guarantee that none of the more than 100,000 people on the battlefield are stunned, or someone accidentally injured him in a panic. What's more, Zhu Di was originally the commander of the Yan Army and the soul of the whole army, and he was a prince and nobleman, so he was able to take the lead and do it himself every time. At this time, on the way back to his own camp, he was able to stop and talk calmly......
Looks like I can't beat him—
With such a sigh from his heart, Sheng Yong had already made up his mind, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, as long as he could hold his position, he would not be as miserable as Li Jinglong's defeat, and he would be worthy of the heavy responsibility entrusted by the court.
After making this decision, Sheng Yong immediately sent people to send orders to Ping'an and Wu Jie, who were stationed in Zhending, and asked the two of them to immediately send troops to cooperate in the battle, and his side adopted a strict defensive formation, anyway, there were many people on the southern army's side, as long as all the means that could be used were used, see what he Zhu Di could do.
The men and horses on both sides lined up with different moods, and since the Yan army first lined up in the northeast, the southern army had no choice but to line up in the southwest.
It has been seen that the other party is adopting a completely defensive-based tactic, Zhu Di no longer uses any flank attacks this time, and orders Zhu Neng and Zhang Wu to lead a road of men and horses, attacking from the left and right flanks respectively, and personally leading three thousand light horsemen to attack from the middle road, and launched an attack in three directions at the same time.
At this time, Sheng Yong responded to all changes with the same and firmly held his position, and the two sides launched a frontal conflict. The Yan army and the southern army were in a scuffle, flying arrows like rain, shouting to kill the sky.
