In a bloody battle, Zhu Di led the army to break through the encirclement and cross the river and break the bridge, but Ping An still chased after him with some cavalry of the Southern Army, without knowing how many troops the Southern Army had arranged, Zhu Di only wanted to escape from the encirclement as soon as possible, where could he still care about turning back and being involved in Ping'an, so Ping'an chased Zhu Di across the river, killing countless people along the way, and achieved the first big victory since the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court.

Wait until dawn, Zhu Di, who has been chased for nearly 100 miles, slowly comes back to his senses, if there is an ambush, it should be out at this time, but there is still only a lonely safe department behind him, the more Zhu Di thinks about it, the more wrong it is, and sends scouts to explore the road, and his nose is almost crooked when he lands, where did the ambush come from? There are less than 10,000 cavalry scattered behind him!

Seeing that the Yan army stopped, and Ping An was also quite a chicken thief, he knew that Zhu Di would come back to his senses sooner or later, so he didn't even give Zhu Di a chance to fight back, and ran to join the front army of the Southern Army.

After all, one is to escape and the other is to chase, the horsepower consumed is not the same, Zhu Di can only watch the safe withdrawal of troops without a way, and wait until the camp is resting for half a day, the more Zhu Di thinks about it, the more he is angry, and after the scouts find out that most of the southern troops on the south bank of the Baigou River are foot soldiers, he gradually came up with a bold idea.

I led the troops forward, although the army was a little late, but it will be on the bank of the Baigou River in the near future, there are only two bridges on the Baigou River that can be used for marching, one has been broken, and one is downstream, I lost a battle last night, if even I can't come up with the idea of raiding the Southern Army, how can the generals of the Southern Army think of it?

Even if the results of the raid can't meet your expectations, you can take the opportunity to grab Yang Qiao in your hands! Now the southern army has arrived at the Baigou River, and then go south is afraid that it is a bit risky, if nothing else, the Baigou River is the decisive place of this time, occupying Yangqiao, it will first get three points of geographical advantage, it is worth a gamble!

Moreover, although the Baigou River is a mountainous landform, the riverside is mostly plains, which is suitable for cavalry charges, and the southern military camp has also been explored.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di hurriedly gave the order, and the whole army got on his horse and went straight downstream, he thought that this attack would be the same as those previous battles, and the Yan army could harvest human lives unscrupulously when it appeared in the southern army camp, but what he didn't expect was that there was still a long distance away from the southern army camp, and the cavalry at the front had just drawn out his saber when he heard a continuous earth-shattering sound!

No, not only the sound, but also the successive fires and explosions, which continued continuously, and the cavalry at the front was directly blown up on their backs, and the remains of the broken arms fell from the sky, and the blood rain drenched the people all over their heads.

Zhu Di was cold all over his body, he stopped his horse, and his voice was hoarse:

"Grenade?!"

……

"Cast with pig iron, empty stomach, put medicine pestle, into a small bamboo tube, through the fire line inside, with a long line outside through the fire trough, choose the only way to go, dozens of buried in the pit, the medicine trough is connected to the steel wheel, the soil covers, so that the thief does not know, triggered, shaken, the iron is like flying, the flame soars to the sky."

Xu Huizu, who was muttering to himself, showed a very satisfied expression, and he looked at Guo Ying, who was stunned on the side: "Do you still want to rush now?" ”

The sudden explosion and loud noise north of the camp did not cause the rout of the southern army as before, on the contrary, the southern army who were waiting in formation were admiring the despair and panic of the Yan army.

Just like they did before.

Guo Ying shook his throat with difficulty: "Grandpa Guo, what the hell is this?" ”

"Those craftsmen have a name, called Explosives," Xu Huizu shook his head, "I always feel that it is too much worse than the name Yan Hui took." ”

Guo Ying, who had just proposed to take advantage of the Yan army's unpreparedness to attack the flanks with a vanguard, only felt that his experience in fighting in the previous years had been subverted, and he realized that the way of warfare would probably change completely with the new firearms of the imperial court and the Yan army.

Thinking that Xu Huizu had buried many of these things outside the camp just now, he said with difficulty: "What if the Yan army doesn't come?" ”

"There is no way," Xu Huizu stood with his hands in his hands, "This kind of thing is buried in the soil, and it has to be pulled out with a long line, and it has been prepared in advance, so that it can attack when the enemy army passes by, and if Yan rebels can't come, he can only dig it out again, but... I thought he was coming, so I let people bury me. ”

"Speaking of which, this thing is a lot worse than the grenade that Yan Shun threw out and can explode, after all."

He was a little helpless: "Those craftsmen said that it was a problem with gunpowder, no matter how it was deployed, it could not achieve the effect of Yan Yi's kind of weapon, but fortunately, a clever craftsman added a lot of iron nails and thistles to it, one for armor piercing and the other for damaging horseshoe, which made it more powerful." ”

Guo Ying was still a little unwilling: "Then can you take advantage of the chaos of the Yan army and let the Governor of Ping An lead the troops to rush a wave?" Just avoid the pre-buried location..."

"Here's the problem, Yan can't rush if he wants to, but in the same way, he wants to go... I can't stop it," Xu Huizu shook his head and said, "10,000 vanguard cavalry fought bloodily all night, even if the morale is at its peak, and Yan Shun is blocked by this thing, it is not easy to chase, the combat strength of the troops is not as good as Yan Shun after all, and don't forget that they also have this thing, and the front army is mostly foot soldiers... Wait for Yan to retreat by itself. ”

He smiled: "And from today onwards, you said that Yan is marching against the army, will you be careful everywhere?" Sergeant Yan, will he be worried everywhere he passes? In the long run, the morale of the army... Completely ruined. ”

Guo Ying solemnly bowed his hand and admired it.

Neither of them knew that Zhu Di was in the cavalry opposite, and if they knew, they were afraid that they would have to find a way to stop these Yan troops no matter what, even if they would die no matter how many people died.

But who can count all the things of the world?

……

Zhu Di was stunned.

Starting from the earth-shattering noise in the city of Beiping, the war of this era has actually begun to be more or less forced to transform, whether it is the battle of Jingjing, or the battle of Gu Huaijin's attack on the grassland, as long as the grenade is used, it can be called invincible, this time Zhu Di went south more than 100,000 troops and dared to confront Li Jinglong's 600,000 army, most likely because of the confidence brought by grenades.

But in the past, this thing was just to blow up the enemy, which was naturally very cool, and when I got bombed, I knew how bad this feeling was.

Pieces of cavalry fell, I don't know how many soldiers were injured and disabled, the surviving soldiers were also blown up, the dust was sprinkled with clouds and the sun, the Yan army was in chaos, even if Zhu Di, who came back to his senses, tried his best to restrain it, he couldn't control the army, and he could only order a retreat in a hurry, but what made people desperate was that the rear cavalry who hurriedly turned their horses' heads and thought they had escaped was also blasted into the sky with a loud bang after rushing out of a distance!

I don't know when that thing was buried in the rear!

At this time, Zhu Di was really a little desperate, but fortunately, he soon discovered that this thing of the Southern Army was very different from the grenade, and the power was also very different, but it was better to be hidden, and he didn't know where to bury it, stepped on it, and accidentally went to the sky.

This thing is actually similar to the mines of later generations, but the trigger method is somewhat primitive, in fact, it should not be put into war on such a large scale, it can only be said that the prestige of grenades in the past six months is too great, which has fundamentally changed the way of thinking of some generals in this era.

There is no other way, the order has been unable to restrain the army, the Yan army has no mine detectors, let alone the so-called engineers, at this time there may be buried this thing in all directions, the distance is the southern army camp, I don't know how many southern soldiers are eyeing the tiger, Zhu Di can only gather some soldiers, and use the most stupid method - to clear mines with people, and march towards Yang Bridge in the distance.

So the poor soldier could only rush up, even if he stepped on it, even if he was unlucky, reincarnated to see what his luck was in the next life, and if he didn't step on it, he was lucky to pick up a life.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Di naturally didn't have to do such a life-fighting thing, he personally led people to live behind the whole army, and confronted the cavalry of the Ping An Department who followed from time to time.

History, "from the back of the three horses".

Whether it is the spirit of sacrificing oneself for others, or the suspicion of leading others to clear mines, probably only Zhu Di himself knows at that moment.

In this way, the enemy followed and waited for the situation to touch the Baigou River with difficulty, the sky was already dark, I don't know if Zhu Di was too unlucky, tonight the dark clouds covered the top, there was not even a little moonlight, there were no street lights in this era, I couldn't see my fingers, I couldn't see how far I could light the torches, and only at this time did Zhu Di realize a serious problem - the army was lost.

That's right, and there is no satellite positioning map navigation, a big river flows eastward, the banks of the river look the same, I don't know where the army has been, in desperation, Zhu Di personally dismounted, lay on the ground and watched the river flow for a long time, and took the army around for a long time, only then did he figure out the southeast and northwest, and crossed the bridge in disgrace and returned to the east bank of the Baigou River.

Since Zhu Di started the army, although every time he is outnumbered, but every time there is no danger, this is the most embarrassing defeat he has suffered, if he was hit by a stray arrow before, stepped on a mine, or the Southern Army was bold and pressed directly, maybe he Zhu Di died in a daze on the bank of the Baigou River.

Zhu Di, who was covered in gunpowder smoke and dust, waited in the camp for several days before waiting for his rear army, and on the other side of the Baigou River, Li Jinglong finally arrived, and the former army was completed, and Zhu Di started a confrontation, the fiasco a few days ago is still vivid, facing the generals Zhu Di is really ashamed, the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, he simply slapped the table at the first military meeting: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will rest, and tomorrow morning, a decisive battle with Li Jiujiang!" ”

The generals had never seen Zhu Di so angry, and they all said yes and went down to prepare for war.

As soon as Zhu Di sat down, he still remembered the thunder that sounded one after another when he fled all the way, and stretched out his hand to beckon a personal guard:

"Where is Gu Huai? Hurry up and call him to see me! ”
