Chapter Ninety-Eight: Repelling Chen Youding

This is a small town in Changsha, little-known, ask the locals what the ancient town is called, the locals can not understand, they have lived here for generations, almost cut off communication with the outside world, and later Zhang Dingbian won Chen Youding here, Zhang Dingbian gave this town a name.

"General, we have found traces of the Han army over there, and they are marching in the direction of Hongdu and Ji'an according to the route we set."

This is already their last wave of spies, Chen Youding nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the Han army has indeed been tricked. Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Dingbian, you still fell for my Chen Youding's scheme, hahahaha.

Before he could finish laughing, someone from the front came to report: "General, the Han army has appeared in the forward position, and we have clashed with them at present, please instruct." ”

"Is Zhang Dingbian in there?" Chen Youding couldn't wait to ask, the goal of such a big effort this time is Zhang Dingbian, if Zhang Dingbian is not there, then what is the purpose of their doing this.

"General, the old thief in Zhang Dingbian must be inside, and the soldiers in front have witnessed it."

"Okay, tell them to go according to the plan." This sentence was addressed to everyone present.

"Yes." So everyone returned to their respective positions and acted according to the original plan.

In the front position of the unknown ancient town, Chen Yuanjun retreated at the same time, and the Han army naturally went directly into it, and the troops in each position saw the Han army going deep alone, knowing that they were fooled, so they dared to besiege the Han army from all directions, forming an encirclement at a distance of 500 meters from the Han army, slowly shrinking inward, compressing the combat space of the Han army.

The Han army naturally pretended to find out that Zhang Dingbian led the Han army to the south of the encirclement with the largest number of people, and broke through Chen Yuan's encirclement network with more than 100 Han troops. As the gap in the defense network became larger and wider, basically all the Han troops took out the encirclement network. Chen Youding naturally knew Zhang Dingbian's bravery, and he could also feel from his many battles that Zhang Dingbian was very likely to break through their encirclement network.

As Chen Youding saw Zhang Dingbian breaking through the encirclement network, he showed a natural look, this is the Zhang Dingbian he knows, even if he leads more than a thousand people, he can fight the enemy army that robs him 2 or 3 times as strong. So he made second-hand three-hand or even four-hand preparations.

So with Chen Youding's order, more than 1,000 troops came out from the south to re-form the encirclement network, at this time Chen Yuan's army has reached more than 10,000 people, Zhang Dingbian's face is solemn, I didn't expect Chen Youding to be so willing to give up, in order to engage him, so many troops are stationed here, but their reinforcements have already arrived, and they have been waiting for Zhang Dingbian's order.

Zhang Dingbian still chose to attack the most powerful southern army, and the southern army, which had been replenished, actually showed a decline under Zhang Dingbian's fierce attack.

I didn't expect this Zhang Dingbian to be so fierce, Chen Youding was dumbfounded when he saw it, you see, that Zhang Dingbian rushed in front by himself, every time there was a personal casualty, there were two people who were handled by him. Damn, there is no army in the south, and if Zhang Dingbian breaks through again, I'm afraid he will have to kill in the city, and in the end, I don't know who killed whom. Chen Youding's face turned blue, and he immediately mobilized all the troops stationed in the north.

Zhang Dingbian looked at the many people who had come out all of a sudden, and immediately asked the soldiers to release a signal, signaling the remaining Han army to come out to attack, and as the flag fluttered, the Han army suddenly poured out of the woods in the north, and directly scattered the northern part of the encirclement network.

Chen Youding leaned back in his chair all of a sudden, how could it be? They still have such support that they can almost take them down. After their observation, the number of Han troops who came this time was not small, but those informants told him that the Han army had been dispersed to other directions, and this batch of Han troops was at most 10,000 people, and you told me that this was 10,000 people? More than 100,000 people.

"Retreat, we are flanked, and the formation is also scattered by the enemy, I'm afraid we won't be able to win." Chen Youding sighed.

On September 28, the 23rd year of Zheng, Chen Yuan's allied forces withdrew to Changsha, but they were always held back by Zhang Dingbian, and finally withdrew all the way to Ji'an City. It's not that Changsha City is not enough to accommodate Chen Yuanjun, it's just that Zhang Dingbian has already let part of the Han army recapture Changsha City, and looking at Changsha City, which is full of Han troops, they have no choice but to withdraw to Ji'an City.

After Chen Youliang knew Zhang Dingbian's plan, he went to recover Chenzhou, Changde and other places, and when the two armies completely recovered the lost territory, they were ready to work together to break through Ji'an City.

On September 29, the twenty-third year of Zheng, the Wu army retreated from Zhending, the generals were unwilling, and they almost could attack the capital and destroy the Yuan Tartar Dynasty, if it was an ordinary person, how could they stop so many generals, just kidding, Wang Baobao, who could be called a strange man by Zhu Yuanzhang, how could it be a thing in the pool, and soon, the Qilu righteous army was destroyed, and the Daimyofu, Lu'an, and Xinxiang also returned to the hands of the Yuan army, and the threat of the capital was also cleaned up by Wang Baobao. The Wu army was centered in Xuzhou and fought around the Yuan army in the surrounding areas.

On September 30, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Han army broke through Luoyang. Wang Baobao has a headache, the Wu army here is already difficult enough, and now the Han army is also going to attack them, there is no way, then fight. But at present, with their strength enough, the Han army sent 300,000 troops to attack the north, and the Wu army also sent more than 300,000, and if you want to crush one of them, you must use all your forces. In the end, Wang Baobao made a choice, giving priority to attacking the Wu army, Luoyang is still far from Dadu, if the land of Qilu is broken by the Ming army again, then Dadu will not be protected.

On October 3, the 23rd year of Zheng, the Han army recovered all the lost territory in the south, and Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian gathered their divisions and attacked Ji'an.

On October 5, the twenty-third year of Zheng, the Wu army repelled the Yuan army in Yingzhou and won the first victory, and then the Wu army could not hold out, the Yuan army had no way for a while, but to fight a war of attrition, and on the other side, the Han army had captured Pingyang, that's right, the tiger fell Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, they are now marching to Lu'an, if they are allowed to develop wantonly, I am afraid he will also threaten Dadu.

On October 7, the 23rd year, Tuhuan Timur received the news that the situation at the front was very urgent, and now it was necessary to find a way to reduce one enemy so that they could concentrate more on dealing with the other.

So Tuhuan Timur was ready to propose peace to Chen Youliang, if it was before, he would have made peace with Zhu Yuanzhang, but now Zhu Yuanzhang's power is too strong, if he is allowed to develop, when he unifies the south, it will be a Song Dynasty again, but they will no longer be as brilliant as they were in the past.
