Chapter 261: The Battle Begins
Lan Yu originally thought that when the people around Zhu Gui heard this, they would at least cause a riot, so that no matter how righteous he was, he could reverse the situation again and achieve a classic case of surrendering without a fight.
But he still underestimated Zhu Gui's influence in Datong Mansion, and the hundreds of people standing on the wall, after Lan Yu's words were finished, they didn't react at all, as if they hadn't heard it.
So he shouted again, trying to 'warn' these people, but everyone on the city wall showed impatient looks, and some even pointed at Lan Yu and said, "Is this guy really a great general?" I'm afraid you're not a fool, right? ”
This made Lan Yu almost vomit blood.
His attempt to fan the flames was completely shattered, and he could only target Zhu Gui again.
"Acting king, the first emperor has just been buried, and his spirit in the sky has not yet rested, do you want to treat the foundation laid by the first emperor like this? If you have a little conscience, go back to the capital with Ben and make it clear to the emperor, and the court will definitely give you an explanation. ”
Lan Yu's 'bitter mouth' persuasion.
Seeing Lan Yu's appearance, Zhu Gui couldn't help laughing anymore: "Tell me clearly? Lan Yu, you are also a generation of famous generals, how could you make such a serious mistake? Are you really a fool of this king? Or are you too deep into the play yourself? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lan Yu was directly blinded by Zhu Gui's slashing head and face, and couldn't help but ask angrily.
When had he ever been humiliated like this? No, there really was, but when he thought of the things he had been humiliated by Zhu Gui in the past, the flames of hatred in Lan Yu's heart suddenly burst out.
If he hadn't been under the city now, and he was all cavalry, and he didn't even have siege weapons, maybe he would have ordered the siege.
"Lan Yu, let me tell you, when you left Nanjing, this king was in Nanjing, so the emperor's dictation to this king also knows a little bit about it, and the emperor has not convicted this king of 'rebellion' at all, all this is just an excuse for you to fake public welfare and selfishness."
Zhu Gui said loudly.
When Lan Yu heard this, the blue color suddenly became ugly, and the subordinates around him also looked at him with surprised eyes, they never thought that a person of Lan Yu's status would also lie.
But who is lying? Is it the acting king or the general? The soldiers were puzzled.
Lan Yu seemed to sense something, turned around and glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and then shouted angrily, "As a soldier, how could you be disturbed by the enemy's words? ”
Feeling a strong coercion, the soldiers immediately lowered their heads and began to blame themselves.
Anyway, they are also Lan Yu's subordinates, and the subordinates suspect the general, which is a big crime.
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Gui on the city wall again and said: "Little prince, don't be obsessed anymore, although General Ben has been away from the capital for a while, but General Ben also knows some news about the capital, Concubine Guo Hui, who was supposed to be martyred for the first emperor, was taken away from the palace by you, right?" This alone is enough to condemn you. ”
Zhu Gui sighed and said: "Lan Yu, this king originally thought that you were a generation of famous generals, and he also made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and he wanted to let you go, but I didn't expect you to kill yourself, so don't blame this king." ”
With a wave of Zhu Gui's hand, the 1,000 Yunzhou troops who had already assembled into a military formation at the gate of the city immediately opened the city gate, and then swarmed out, forming a neat cavalry array outside the city.
When Lan Yu saw this scene, his face showed a humiliated expression, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and only said after a while: "Little prince, do you regard you as the first emperor?" With your little means, do you really want to fight General Ben on the battlefield? You're too self-conscious. ”
Lan Yu said, raised the horsewhip in his right hand, and shouted: "Charge formation." ”
When the soldiers behind him heard this familiar order, the fog in their hearts immediately disappeared, and their bodies began to form an array like a conditioned reflex.
Almost instantly, more than 2,000 people formed a sharp arrow formation, and they confronted Zhu Gui's Yunzhou army at a distance of less than 500 meters.
This distance was only a charge distance for the cavalry, and the cavalry battle was decided almost between charges.
Now both sides are cavalry lineups, but the number of Lan Yu's subordinates is more than twice as many as Zhu Gui's, coupled with the prestige of Lan Yu's famous generals, for a while, Lan Yu's subordinates are high-spirited, and there is a faint sense of slaughter on the battlefield.
Lan Yu was quite complacent about this, he looked at Zhu Gui at the head of the city and said loudly: "Hmph, one-third of this Ming Dynasty was beaten down by the old man, even if the first emperor is alive, he must also give three points to the old man, you stinky little doll dares to confront the old man on the battlefield, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." ”
The people around Zhu Gui on the city wall all showed solemn expressions, they all felt the strong sense of oppression from the army of Lan Yu, if it weren't for Zhu Gui standing here, they would probably all turn around and flee.
And what made them feel surprised and embarrassed was that the expression on the face of the little prince in front of them did not even change at all.
Zhu Gui shouted to the general in front of the Yunzhou army, that is, Gongsun Ming: "Gongsun Qianhu, do you need artillery support?" ”
Gongsun Ming shouted: "Thank you Lord Wang, but we are enough to kill chickens with knives to deal with them, please wait and see." ”
The look on Gongsun Ming's face at this time was very excited, he took out the saber at his waist, raised it above his head and shouted: "Shoot formation, deploy." ”
The 1,000 men of the Yunzhou army quickly spread out into three rows, two-thirds of them dismounted, then took the flintlock pistol from behind and aimed it at Lan Yu's military formation in the movements of half-kneeling, standing upright, and holding the gun on the horse.
The rows of black holes made Lan Yu feel a little uneasy in her heart.
However, he was not one of those who had not seen the world, and he recognized that the Yunzhou army was holding a firecracker, but it was not the same as the style of the firearm used in the Nanjing Shenji Battalion.
But in his opinion, as long as it is a firearm, it has the same problem, that is, the range is short, and it is troublesome to reload, so it cannot form an effective and continuous strike force on the battlefield, and he is afraid of being close to the cavalry.
The corners of Lan Yu's mouth curled, and he waved the horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "Charge!" ”
The cavalry behind him rushed towards the Yunzhou army on the opposite side like a tide.
If you look at it from mid-air, Lan Yu's subordinates look like a giant arrow, trying to tear the enemy formation through the middle in one fell swoop.
The terrifying strength of the cavalry was evident at this moment.
