That night, Zhu Di and the soldiers decided that they could not delay any longer, otherwise the soldiers would not be defeated, the grain and grass would be finished first, and they would have to fight a battle after all, and they did not hesitate and decided to prepare immediately.

On the second day, Zhu Di approached Zhending according to what everyone discussed, and it was only twenty or thirty miles away from Zhending.

Geng Bingwen's team stationed in Tuohe saw that the Yan army was in front of them, and they did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent people to constantly patrol the camp and set up the formation.

The soldiers and horses that were originally divided into four places were mobilized together by Geng Bingwen, and 100,000 soldiers and horses were already stationed in an instant, just waiting for a battle with Zhu Di.

The rain is still falling, the black soldiers are standing in the rain like a mountain, Geng Bingwen is standing on the top of the watchtower, his white beard is fluttering, he has fought with Taizu for many years, and he has never lost a battle.

But he never thought that one day, he was going to fight with Taizu's son, looking at the Zhending realm where the rain was pouring down, Geng Bingwen said: "King Yan, I want to see how powerful you can be compared to Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng back then." ”

If there is a fight, Geng Bingwen will win.

But not necessarily this time.

In the camp of the Southern Army, there were thousands of men and horses gathered together with Zhang Bao's personal soldiers, and Geng Bingwen was busy transferring troops and horses to deploy, and he did not notice the suspiciousness of Zhang Bao and his personal soldiers at all.

Two days later, in early August, the rain stopped.

Zhu Di led the army to launch a thorough attack on Geng Bingwen's army, the offensive was not violent, but it was very tricky.

It rained last time and stopped halfway through.

This time, Zhu Di took his soldiers and horses to fight Geng Bingwen in the rain.

Geng Bingwen has led the troops for many years, and he has already felt that Zhu Di is playing with his life this time, because he can be sure that Zhu Di's grain and grass are not enough for the soldiers and horses. Nor can he himself be in the sparse.

In the large camp of the Southern Army, the soldiers had been vigilant all night, and no one could sleep at all.

The trenches dug before have been flooded into canals by rainwater, and many rockets cannot be lit, and even the fire oil poured on the Zhending city wall before has been washed clean by the pouring rain, and the rainwater has flowed into the Tuohe River.

Who knew that Zhu Di's soldiers and horses were halfway through, but they suddenly returned. Geng Bingwen didn't know what trick Zhu Di was playing, so he sent someone to investigate.

Tanma replied: "General, King Yan's camp is boiling a pot of stewed meat, and white rice is steamed. ”

Geng Bingwen was puzzled, went up to the watchtower and looked at the opposite side, and sure enough, the Yan army camp set up a few pots to cook, and the smoke curled.

"What the hell is this kid Zhu Di doing?" Geng Bingwen went down to the watchtower and said to his subordinates: "Zhu Di, this kid, since he is not in a hurry to set up a pot to cook, then what am I afraid of?" Defending the city is my forte! ”

Geng Bingwen also ordered the soldiers to repair, and the southern army also relaxed, and the opposite side was cooking, so they didn't have to worry about attacking.

Here, Cheng Yuan looked at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu: "Make a fire here to cook, the southern army must think that we are lax, now you are secretly mobilizing troops and horses, and when you hear the order, you will attack the large camp where the southern army is stationed at the same time, be fast and ruthless!" ”

Zhu Di stood beside him: "Listen to Cheng Yuan." ”

Then Cheng Yuan said: "Xu Dudu, as well as Yuan Zhongche, Yuan Rong, and Li Rang, took the soldiers and horses to the other side, and when they heard the sound of cannons, they set off immediately." Again, be clean and do your best. ”

Zhu Di helped Cheng Yuan adjust the details and essentials of the battle, and ordered them to prepare separately.

"Boy, I don't think Old General Geng will believe it."

Cheng Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Wang, if we make a fire here to cook, General Geng will definitely think that we are resting." ”

Zhu Di said: "I want to personally lead the troops to attack." ”

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Cheng Yuan had a big head, why did he always want to lead the troops by himself, what was the problem.

Have you ever heard of catching the thief and catching the king first?

But Zhu Di insisted on leading his troops to attack Geng Bingwen's old camp, and Cheng Yuan let him go and told him to be careful in everything.

Then the swallow-shaped banner representing Zhu Di was sent over.

………………

On the opposite side, the Yan army camp was still in the posture of lighting a fire and cooking, and Geng Bingwen relaxed after watching it a few times.

In addition, he is very confident to defeat Zhu Di, because he did not panic at all.

But before he could go down the lookout, he heard the sound of firearms in the camp opposite, and Geng Bingwen immediately stood up again.

By the river, which was originally empty, a lot of Yan troops suddenly rushed out of the bushes, like a black flood, surging like this side.

Yan troops came from all directions to Geng Bingwen's camp.

The horn sounded immediately, and Geng Bingwen kept waving the command flag, commanding his soldiers and horses in an orderly manner, accurately and clearly.

Under the command of Geng Bingwen, all the soldiers and horses were in order, and despite the continuous attacks of the Yan army, they were still as stable as a rock.

Geng Bingwen laid out three lines of defense, archers and shield soldiers, as well as spears, which were arranged in an orderly manner.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di each led a team of cavalry.

The teams of cavalry led by Zhu Di were the iron cavalry in the well-trained Yan San's guards, attacking in an orderly manner.

But when the original galloping iron cavalry encountered Geng Bingwen's shield soldiers, it was like encountering a high wall, and if other soldiers and horses encountered it, I am afraid that they would have fallen on their backs.

But the one Zhu Di brought was the most well-trained iron horse in his guard, and when he encountered this situation, he immediately turned the horse's head under the leadership of Zhu Di.

They all ran to the southeast.

To the southeast is Zhang Bao's 1,000 soldiers.

Geng Bingwen immediately waved the battle flag and signaled Zhang Bao's men and horses to attack.

But he saw that some soldiers in the southeast direction retreated directly.

Geng Bingwen said loudly: "Stop the Yan army immediately, those who retreat, behead!" ”

The flag kept waving, and then Zhang Bao's thousands of men and horses in the southeast did not react.

Zhang Bao's men and horses were an important protection for Geng Bingwen, and now Geng Bingwen found that they were soon swallowed up by the Yan army.

Immediately mobilized the northwest corner, the banner continued to dance in the air, but it was too late, the Yan army's iron cavalry flexibly shuttled in the arrow array, and the war horses turned around.

With firmness in his eyes, Zhu Di entered Geng Bingwen's camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the cavalry followed behind.

Geng Bingwen, who was standing in the watchtower, was a little shocked when he saw this scene, and muttered to himself: "King Yan actually went out in person, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Geng Bingwen has not seen Zhu Di's strength in leading troops with his own eyes, and he has always heard others say that Zhu Di is the leader.

Every time I heard good news from Zhu Di, the king of Yan, I thought it was done by the northern army to flatter Zhu Di.

Unexpectedly, this time he saw with his own eyes Zhu Di's iron horsemanship, and he believed that Zhu Di really made great achievements in the north.

Geng Bingwen knew that he had absolutely underestimated Zhu Di, beating the drum in his heart, and drifting intently with Zhu Di's iron horse.

But Geng Bingwen is not a rookie, his trump card is the archer in the middle, and he is a hundred-step crosser.

At that moment, he began to wave his order flag, and sent out the people who arranged the center, Geng Bingwen was not worried, the archers were all selected strong players, and there was no problem in dealing with Zhu Di.

At this moment, Xu Bingmao, the leader of the archers in the middle of the country, was looking at Zhu Di's iron cavalry and saw the Yan army surging like a flood.

At that moment, they were so frightened that they wanted to retreat, they didn't want to die, they had to come over and resist the Yan army.

At this moment, Captain Liu, who was tall and full of beard, came over.

Xu Bingmao was puzzled: "Captain Liu, what are you doing here?" Where are you going? ”

Captain Liu didn't speak or ignore him, just looked at Xu Bingmao, and came over with more than a dozen soldiers with their heads down.

"You...... What do you want to do, don't kill the enemy and go to the grain depot to do something! ”
