Chapter 36: Capture Pan Zhong Alive!
"Fourth, what is your opinion? Is it to plant mines or to set up an ambush at the Yuexian Bridge? Zhu Di peeled off the sweet potato skin, took a bite, and asked.
Historically, Pan Zhong did not know that Xiongxian County had been broken, and led troops to help, Zhu Di ordered Tan Yuan to lead more than 1,000 troops, ambushed under the Yuexian Bridge, sank into the water, and breathed with grass.
And Zhu Di was on the city wall of Xiongxian County, waiting for Pan Zhong to come, leading the troops to attack, the roadside sergeant raised a cannon, Tan Yuan heard the cannon, came out of the water, and wrapped Pan Zhong in dumplings.
In the first war in history, Zhu Di had 10,000 southern troops and more than 9,000 horses.
Zhu Gaoxian turned his head to look at Zhu Di and asked, "Dad, is there any difference between this?" Whether it is an ambush under the Yuexian Bridge or a mine, it depends on how Dad wants to achieve this victory. Horizontal and vertical will win, even if you don't have these weapons, with your father's ability, you can win! ”
Zhu Di loves to hear this!
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked, he really didn't expect that his fourth brother, although he was young, had such a big ability, and he didn't say a lot of good things, the key is that he was very good at saying nice things, and he could coax his father around, no wonder his father liked to take him everywhere he went.
Good guy, if the fourth brother can praise himself like this, he is also willing to like the fourth brother!
What Zhu Gaoxian said was actually true, helpless, no one believed it, they all felt that Zhu Gaoxian was young, but he was really good at praising people, even Zhu Di felt that this kid didn't spend any money to say a nice word.
Zhu Di finally chose the plan of ambushing under the Yuexian Bridge, after all, Yang Song and Pan Zhong were just a plate of hors d'oeuvres in front of Geng Bingwen, and the real meal was Geng Bingwen, and Zhu Di needed to use more weapons in the decisive battle with Geng Bingwen.
Pan Zhong heard that Zhu Di attacked Xiongxian, the starry night came to run, and after he led the troops to the Yuexian Bridge, a ghost-like figure appeared on the city wall, the moon in the fourteenth night illuminated this person like an invincible god of war, a suit of armor flowed like water in the silver moonlight, his hand on his waist, resolute face, cold eyes like arrows.
"Pan Zhong!" Zhu Di shouted, he took out his pistol and shot the red tassel on Pan Zhong's head, Pan Zhong only felt that his eardrums were like thunder, and the soldiers behind him saw that the red tassel on his helmet fell in response.
What is it?
Pan Zhong didn't know why, but the cold sweat on his body came out, and at this moment, four cannons rang out, dust was flying, corpses were all over the sky, shouts were heard, and the camp had become a pot of porridge.
"Capture Pan Zhong alive!"
I don't know who shouted, all of a sudden, Pan Zhong saw a silver light flying towards him, he instinctively threw himself and rolled to the ground, and then, he saw a splash of flesh and blood in front of him, and his arms and legs flew in front of him.
The world is miserable, and hell is nothing more than that!
When the four sides calmed down, the southern army was already at a loss.
Pan Zhong was caught by two Yan soldiers and sent to Zhu Di, Zhu Di stood on top of the high city tower, "This king didn't want to be like this, they are all my Ming people, killing each other, it's really unlucky, but the emperor forced me to do this." ”
From ancient times to the present, the imperial power and family business are inherited from father to son, Emperor Taizu loved Prince Yiwen, and finally handed over the throne to Zhu Yunwen.
How did Pan Zhong not know this truth?
He knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and didn't scold any "chaotic ministers and thieves" like other pedantic people, why meddle with things, the affairs of the world are also the affairs of the Zhu family, their uncle and nephew compete for the throne, what does it have to do with them, the courtiers and the common people?
"Lord Wang, the last general just wants to dare to ask, does the Lord have mastered a very powerful firearm?"
Since Pan Zhong is a commander, he is naturally a person in the army, and sure enough, he is an acquaintance, Zhu Di was proud, played with the pistol, threw it in the air, and aimed the muzzle at the top of the red tassel on Pan Zhong's helmet, and said, "Yes, this king's artillery can hit ten miles away, you say, can this king clear the king's side?" ”
Pan Zhong sighed and closed his eyes, "As the prince said, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, please treat the southern army under the command of the last general kindly, the last general only led 10,000 people here, and half of them have been killed and wounded." “
Naturally, the living people surrendered with Pan Zhong.
And the people who stayed in Mozhou City, Zhu Di led more than 100 people to Mozhou in person, and after entering Mozhou City, he walked around the camp, and when everyone saw Zhu Di, they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and all of them belonged to Zhu Di.
When Zhu Di traveled to the Baigou River, Zhang Bao, a young general under Geng Bingwen, came to take refuge, Zhu Di met Zhang Bao in the Shuai tent, he held Zhang Bao's shoulder and said, "You go back and tell Geng Bingwen first, let him reorganize his army, inform the king, and the king will attack again." ”
At this time, Geng Bingwen stationed the camp on both sides of the Hutuo River, and after Zhang Bao returned to the camp, he came straight to see Geng Bingwen, claiming that he was investigating the enemy's situation, and was accidentally caught, and the guards did not take him seriously, so he broke free from the rope and escaped.
Xu Kai didn't believe it, Zhang Bao said, "Hou Ye, the last general heard that King Yan has developed a new gunpowder, the power is like thunder and lightning, and the range of the cannon can reach ten miles away. ”
Xu Kai said angrily, "Have you already taken refuge in King Yan and deliberately come here to be alarmist?" ”
Zhang Baodao, "The last general listened to the two sergeants guarding the last general, and the last general was frightened, so he desperately fled back." ”
Xu Kai had to believe that Zhang Bao did not surrender to the enemy, but he couldn't believe that there was still this kind of gunpowder in the world, and couldn't help but look at Geng Bingwen, "Master Hou, does the imperial court have such a firearm?" ”
The imperial court also brought cannons and a team of firecrackers, and it was precisely because of this that they were full of confidence that they would intercept King Yan no matter what, and they would not let him break through the three lines of defense.
Geng Bingwen said, "It should be the Northern Army that is alarmist, and so far, Ben Hou has not heard of such a powerful thing." ”
Geng Bingwen fought all his life, he was in his sixties, and he had to lead the troops again.
In fact, the Marquis of Changxing and Zhu Biao's group were tied too tightly, and Geng Bingwen's son married Zhu Biao's eldest daughter, Zhu Yunwen's sister Princess Jiangdu.
There is no better! Xu Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually worried about whether the military department had developed a new firearm, but it was obtained by Yan Jun.
If not, it's the best, maybe King Yan won the battle, so he made a mystery and wanted to disturb the morale of the army.
"Master Hou, how do you deploy troops now? If the troops are divided into two sides, will they be broken by the Yan army one by one? Xu Kai couldn't help but be worried.
If Xu Kai and others don't know Zhu Di very well, Geng Bingwen can be said to have grown up watching Zhu Di.
He has been mixed in among the famous generals of the Hongwu period since he was a child, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, Chang Yuchun, Fu Youde and others have indistinguishable strategies, and the attacks that are as fast as lightning have made Geng Bingwen both envious and jealous, and he has thought more than once that if he faced an opponent like them, what would happen?
