For Sheng Yong, dealing with the Yan soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks can simply focus on defense and rely on the advantage of numbers to resist their attacks. But the trouble is that the light cavalry led by Prince Yan from the middle lane cannot hurt him, first of all, it can't hurt him, and secondly, even if there is no emperor's "ban on killing", this team is extremely brave, and no one can stop it wherever it goes, and the casualties brought to the southern army are also the most serious. Moreover, looking at the route of his march, it can be seen that Zhu Di's purpose was to pull the defense of the southern army back and forth, thus creating a gap, so he kept rushing back and forth from front to back, from left to right.

Sheng Yong, who was watching the battle from a high place, thought about it for a while, and said in his heart, can't he hide if he can't be provoked? Then he gave the order to go down, as long as King Yan went, the soldiers would retreat, and wait for him to rush over and then restore the formation. Not to mention, this strategy really worked, not only did the southern army reduce casualties, but also advanced and retreated in an orderly manner between opening and closing, so that Zhu Di's several rushes and killings almost failed to produce any effect.

In this way, the men and horses of the two sides attack and defend, you come and go, and the battle is equal and evenly matched. Sheng Yong is determined to defend, because he knows that the Yan army is far away from Beiping to fight, and the supply of military needs is limited, and there are various prefectures and counties on his side that can provide, not to mention that there are really certain people and horses to support, so as long as it is consumed, the unfavorable side will definitely be the Yan army.

Of course, Zhu Di is very clear about this truth, and it is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to give up easily. In addition, for some reason, he always felt that the stalemate in front of him was only temporary, and that there would be an opportunity to break it. Therefore, he has been gritting his teeth and refusing to retreat, and commanding the whole army to tear and kill like this, although this depends on his desire and hope for victory, but also depends on his belief that the combat effectiveness of his soldiers will definitely repel the Southern army.

In fact, it proves that Yan Wang's perseverance is really right-

This cruel battle lasted until the early afternoon, when suddenly, a strong northeast wind swept through the sky, and the dust covered the sun, and the wind mixed with sand and gravel flew in front of the two armies, hitting the people who were fighting.

Although the men and horses on both sides were also in the wind, the Yan army in the northeast was in the tailwind, and the soldiers who were originally a little exhausted took advantage of the wind to launch an offensive again, while the soldiers of the southern army were miserable, they were already tired, and now they had to withstand the wind and sand, and they couldn't open their eyes when they were beaten, and they couldn't even see the enemy's movements, and they had no chance to fight back, let alone continue to fight.

As soon as Zhu Di saw this familiar scene, he waved his sword and shouted, and his horse moved forward, just this time he adopted the tactics of three-way attack, Zhu Neng and Zhang Wu led the left and right wings to attack horizontally, and the southern army was unable to resist and immediately fled one after another, with tens of thousands of casualties and surrenders.

Seeing this situation, Sheng Yong had to shake his head and sigh, knowing that the defeat was decided, he had to lead the remaining men and horses to retreat to Texas to defend, and never went out of the city to fight, and from then on, he almost had no intention of confronting King Yan.

The Yan army won a complete victory, and it can be said that after this battle, the most reliable and important generals and men of the court were defeated in this battle and no longer had the morale to be organized, and it was no longer possible to organize an effective attack.

Seeing that he had finally won the victory, Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Dafeng for helping a lot for the second time, and while ordering the whole army to clean up the battlefield, he sent distant and near detectives to find out the movements of the Southern Army, especially the Ping'an and Wu Jie departments stationed in Zhending.

Soon I got the news that the timing of the Yan army's victory was really timely. At that time, Ping'an and Wu Jie received Sheng Yong's order, and finally figured out that the Yan cavalry that had been wandering near them, but there were only a few thousand people, and they knew that they had fallen into the Yan King's suspicious plan, so they hurriedly led their troops to Jiahe and prepared to meet Sheng Yong. But when they had already arrived about eighty miles away from the main battlefield, they got the news that "the general was defeated and retreated to Texas", so they had to return to Zhending again.

"It's really dangerous,"

At this time, Zhu Di, who was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army and chatting with the generals, sighed after reading the news,

"If it weren't for the gust of wind blowing in time, I'm afraid the victory over Sheng Yong would have dragged on for a while, in that case, it would be really bad for them to arrive."

"But, Your Highness, you still won, didn't you?"

Qiu Fu said with a smile,

"The two wars have the assistance of Gale, this is God helping you, it must be because Your Highness you are the true dragon son of heaven."

"yes, yes......"

With him in the lead, the other generals also smiled and agreed.

Looking at these eyes that looked at him and were shining, Zhu Di just smiled noncommittally.

In fact, he clearly knew that the reason why there were so many soldiers willing to follow him was that in addition to the old subordinates like Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng who were really loyal to him, a large part of them believed in him that Zhu Di was the true son of the dragon and would definitely ascend to the throne in the future. Although even he himself is not sure that this is true, it is indeed a good way to convince the people and win the hearts of the people, so even if he can't make any promises to everyone, he can't deny it, and the best way is to laugh it off.

At this time, Zhu Di adopted this strategy, and turned the topic to other directions in a timely manner.

Although after this defeat, Sheng Yong will not easily fight again, but the team led by Ping'an and Wu Jie in Zhending is also a hidden danger and has to be dealt with. Now that Sheng Yong has been defeated, we can set our heads to defeat them with all our might. ”

"Your Highness, do you mean that you are going to attack Zhending?"

Xue Lu, who had defeated these two people in a row, suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he was completely with an expression of "If you are really determined, you must let me be the pioneer".

Zhu Di looked at him, and had already guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said,

"Yes, that's exactly what the king thinks. It's just that although those two people have been defeated by our army several times, after all, the strength is still there, and it should not be underestimated, especially Ping'an, this king knows his person too well, and he must not be despised by him, otherwise he will suffer. ”

This sentence was obviously a warning to Xue Lu, and Xue Lu naturally understood, but he still didn't pay too much attention to it, until he really suffered a big loss in front of Ping'an.

At this time, listening to the tone of His Royal Highness King Yan was very cautious, Qiu Fu couldn't help but ask again,

"So what does Your Highness plan to do with them?"

"Well, this king is still planning."

Zhu Di pondered,

"Of course, it is better to transfer them out of Zhending City, after all, it is not our army's strength to attack the city, that is, it is time-consuming and laborious. In short, let the officers and men of the whole army have a good rest, and everyone has worked hard during this time. As for Zhending's side, this king has his own way to deal with them, so let's disperse. ”

Hearing that His Highness had a way to seize Zhending, everyone went back to their respective camps to rest and recuperate.
