Ordinary people are indiscriminately named, and serious names like him are indeed rare.

"I see that there is no living in your village, who did it?" Zhu Han then asked.

Hearing Zhu Han's inquiry, Lu Zhongheng was immediately angry, and his eyes became red.

"It's a Tartar! The Tartar soldiers in Dingyuan City, they heard that someone in our village was going to join the Haozhou Red Turban Army, so they came to slaughter the village, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, woo woo, they are all dead! ”

Lu Zhongheng finally couldn't help crying.

The Mengyuan defenders of Dingyuan were ferocious and greedy, and in the name of killing the rebels, they slaughtered several villages, and then used their heads to go back to ask for merit and reward.

With this kind of deep hatred, Zhu Han naturally can't sit idly by.

"Lu Zhongheng, do you want revenge?" Zhu Han asked.

Lu Zhongheng wiped his tears and said firmly.

"Yes!"

Zhu Han nodded and continued: "Since you want to take revenge, then come with us!" ”

"Who are you?" Lu Zhongheng looked wary and puzzled.

"My brother is Zhu Yuanzhang!" Zhu Han said.

When Lu Zhongheng heard this, he immediately jumped up in surprise.

"But that Marshal of Haozhou, Marshal Zhu, who broke Haozhou in two days and defeated Timur in Shayuan?" Lu Zhongheng was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, that's right!" Zhu Han smiled and nodded.

It seems that my brother's name is already very loud, and there is a lot of credit for this.

"How about it, we're going to settle down, will you come with me?" Zhu Han continued to ask.

"Follow!" Lu Zhongheng replied without thinking.

Zhu Han took Lu Zhongheng back to the barracks and immediately told his brother Zhu Yuanzhang about the situation.

"Although he is young, he is a man, so let him follow you!" After Zhu Yuanzhang heard about Lu Zhongheng, he said to Zhu Han.

"Brother, Lu Zhongheng just told me that on the way to Dingyuan, there are two major forces entrenched, which neither belong to our righteous army, nor obey the orders of the Mengyuan Tartars!" Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to this information.

Now that they have left the territory of the Haozhou Rebels, they are about to enter the territory of the Dingyuan Tartars, and all forces must be treated with caution.

"Which two forces?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked.

"One is Zhangjiabao Donkey Brand Village, about 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the other is the head of Qin, about 800 soldiers and horses!"

Zhu Han said as he pointed out their approximate location on a simple map.

"The position of these two forces is very important, and they are just stuck in our marching route!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

The 20,000-strong army advanced, and there were many mules, horses, and vehicles of all kinds, so they could only march along the avenue, and it was impossible to bypass some important checkpoints.

And Donkey Pai Zhai and Huobi are both cottages located next to the avenue, and once they are hostile, they will threaten Zhu Yuanzhang's army.

"Brother, these two battalions have a lot of soldiers and horses, if they can recruit our command, it will be very useful!" Zhu Han said.

Regarding this suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement.

These two soldiers and horses did not obey the orders of the Mengyuan Tartars, which means that they are still somewhat ambitious and unwilling to be the lackeys of those Tartars.

"That's what we think too, but we don't know how to surrender?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about countermeasures.

"Brother, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses in the Donkey Brand Village, and there are many people, as long as the Donkey Brand Village is surrendered, it should not be a problem to open the nose." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Oh, looks like you've got an idea again?" Zhu Yuanzhang also said with a smile.

"Brother, to deal with the donkey brand village, let's have a first soldier and then salute!" Zhu Han said.

"What does that mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has heard of 'salute before soldiers', but he has never heard of any salute before soldiers.

"Donkey Pai Zhai relies on its own troops, it is nothing more than to wait and see from the wall, neither to the rebels nor to the Tartars, then we will send troops to destroy their prestige, let them know that the three thousand soldiers and horses are not enough to see, and finally send people to persuade them to surrender and recruit, it will definitely succeed!" Zhu Han said.

There is no one in the entire Huaixi area who does not hate the Mengyuan Tartars, they all want to join the rebels in their hearts, but they are afraid that defeat will implicate them.

If the power of the rebels can scare them and make them follow the rebels, it will not be difficult.

"Okay, then let's do it!" Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately agreed.

The next day.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the army to march slowly, sent 200 Xiao cavalry and 1,000 Longxing troops to the front, and Xu Da commanded the donkey village to Zhangjiabao Donkey Village.

Really.

When the more than 1,000 righteous troops approached, Niankun, the leader of Zhangjiabao Donkey Village, immediately became anxious.

If these rebels were allowed to pass by their own territory and run into the territory of the Dingyuan Tartars, then the Dingyuan Mongol Tartars would definitely come to trouble them.

Of course, Zhang Niankun couldn't let Xu Da pass smoothly.

"Sons, the whole army is out of the village and lined up!"

Zhang Niankun left behind himself to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to line up and lay in the middle of the avenue.

Xu Da followed Zhu Han's instructions, only saying that he was borrowing the road, and did not say his origin.

In this case, Zhang Niankun certainly couldn't let them pass.

"This road is not working, heroes, please go back!"

The soldiers and horses of the donkey brand village shouted loudly.

Zhu Han followed Xu Da, knowing that the time was almost up.

He is not afraid of the donkey brand of soldiers and horses blocking the road, but he is afraid that they will not be able to shrink out.

"Brother Xu, lead the army to rush for a while, let them know how powerful we are, and when my brother's army is killed, they won't have a temper."

When Xu Da heard this, his eyes nodded firmly.

"Good!"

Immediately, three drums sounded.

Xu Da led the army to quickly launch an attack formation, and the battle was about to break out.

Seeing this, the donkey card in front of him advocated Niankun, and immediately became angry.

"Where did the madman come from, with two hundred horses, he thought he was invincible in the world?"

He never imagined that more than 1,000 people on the other side would dare to attack more than 3,000 of his own!

I'm three to one!

It's impossible to lose no matter what, the advantage is in me, so I'm afraid of a hanging hair.

"Drumming!"

"Fight!"

Zhang Niankun ordered loudly.

Knock knock!

With bursts of drums resounding across the battlefield, Xu Da led more than 1,000 Longxing troops to take the lead in attacking.

Zhu Han watched the battle in the rear, and saw that although the number of his Longxing army was small, it had a tight lineup, like a heavy hammer, slowly pressing forward.

In the flank and rear, the two hundred Xiao cavalry led by Xu Da were preparing to launch a sudden attack.

Looking at the soldiers and horses of the donkey brand village that are preparing to meet on the opposite side, although the number of people occupies a great advantage, the formation is chaotic, there is neither alternate cover for each other, nor sufficient reserves of soldiers and horses to deal with emergencies.

Suddenly.

A strange feeling surged in Zhu Han's heart.

"In this battle, don't beat the donkey brand village too much! If there are too many dead people, it will be a feud, how can they surrender? ”

Zhu Han felt apprehensive in his heart.

But by this time, the battle had already begun.
