Chapter 295: The Battle of the Baigou River (5)

Seeing Gu Huai's expression, Zhu Di felt three points at ease: "Have you ever seen this thing?" ”

"Well, I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it," Gu Huai leaned closer and looked at it carefully, "Isn't it just a landmine?" ”

"Landmines?"

"The original lead is used to ignite and stampede the trigger, and the black powder is still used," Gu Huai poured out the gunpowder and smelled it, then clapped his hands, "The effect is not as good as the grenade at all, it is not enough to change the battlefield situation, it is estimated that this is one of the reasons why the imperial court took it out early, and they also understand that this thing can only be used for ambush, it is better to expose it to the soldiers as soon as possible to create some psychological pressure." ”

Hearing Gu Huai's judgment, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most worried about was that the appearance of this kind of thing would completely change the firearms advantage that the Yan army had the upper hand.

As the creator of the grenade, Gu Huai should be one of the people who know firearms best, and if he can be so sure, it means that there is no need to worry too much about this weapon.

"But you still have to pay attention, the frontal battlefield is fine, but if you encounter a lure enemy to go deep or feint, it is not necessarily an ambush, but this thing," Gu Huai smiled, "Speaking of which... Just now, I met General Zhang Yu and heard the news that the prince was going to attack tomorrow. ”

He restrained his smile: "Isn't it a bit risky?" ”

On the other side of the river, it's 600,000... Although Wu Jie's rear army has not yet arrived, the strength in the large camp is far more than the Yan army on the north bank, and when the opponent's camp has been established and prepared, is it too risky for more than 100,000 to take the initiative to attack hundreds of thousands?

Gu Huai was very worried about whether Zhu Di was a little arrogant because of the embarrassment of the past few days, in his opinion, the previous Zhu Di would not look down on the southern army on the other side of the river like this anyway.

Probably because the prestige is too deep, no one dares to oppose his decision, from the time Zhu Di passed the military order in the military council, Gu Huai was the first person to ask this.

"Of course I know that there are some adventures, but I need to compete with the imperial court for time," Zhu Di glanced at Gu Huai deeply, "And the military order has been passed down." ”

Gu Huai was silent for a moment: "I know that the prince has a quick decision... But the Yugoslav army can make mistakes many times, but we can't. ”

He was very sincere: "Do you want to think about it again?" Now Li Jinglong hasn't shown any flaws, if the stalemate continues, give the secret spy department some more time..."

"In the past six months, the secret spy department has come to your hands, and I have seen how many things I have done," Zhu Di sighed, but he didn't mean to change his mind at all, "But this time Li Jiujiang has peace under his hands, Guo Ying, and my brother-in-law, I am really afraid of long nights and dreams..."

He stood up with a resolute expression: "Only by pressing harder can Li Jinglong be overwhelmed!" Only by letting him make mistakes can I continue to win! ”

It seems that it is still disgusting to the battle a few days ago... Gu Huai was a little helpless, but he couldn't continue to persuade him.

I can only hope that Li Jinglong will continue to bale the straw.

He looked to the south and thought faintly.

……

In the early morning of the next day, at dawn, the Yan army had already completed the assembly.

Since it was a surprise attack, it was naturally impossible to bury the pot and cook food in advance to make the southern army clear about the movement, and the officers and men of the three armies were all cold food, and when the military order came down, they crossed the river to fight and rushed straight to the southern army camp.

But what no one expected was that before the fog cleared in the early morning, the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded behind the Yan army camp, which caught the Yan army who was facing the south bank of the Baigou River by surprise.

That's right, Li Jinglong, who was willing to humbly accept the advice of the generals, had already been reborn, and he actually launched an attack first!

What a coincidence! What a mockery of fate!

It was the Ping'an Department that chased King Yan a few days ago who launched an attack in front of the Yan army, and with it was Qu Neng's father and son, who led the troops alone this time, and the two generals were not polite to roll up their sleeves and the guys, but if you think that the two are brave and unstrategic, it is wrong, because they are not impacting the front of the Yan army, but the rear wing!

This is also the reason why the shouting of killing will sound from the rear, Ping'an and Qu Neng took their army around a big circle, crossed the river from the pontoon bridge downstream and ran to the back of the Yan army, and when the dawn broke, they launched an attack on the Yan army, and the first target of the attack was the rear army led by Fang Kuan.

Like the cavalry led by Zhu Di in the last raid, Ping'an still took the lead in the enemy formation, swept with a spear in his hand, and went straight to the generals of the Yan army, and there was no one to stop him for a while.

And Qu Neng is also a person who can fight well, when he attacked Beiping, if it wasn't for Li Jinglong's greed to order him to retreat, maybe he would have attacked Beiping City, and then he was abandoned under Beiping City, and he also stubbornly blocked Zhu Di's footsteps into the city for three days, which shows that he is really not a mediocre general, under his leadership, the Ping An Department that charged in front was not surrounded by the Yan army, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and the rear army fought hard for a long time, and there were faint signs of collapse.

When the news reached the front army, which was preparing to cross the river, the generals heard that the southern army had suddenly appeared in the rear, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they all asked for the battle to return to the rear army, and at the same time, the front army was near the river to resist the enemy and prevent the whole southern army from pressing on.

The war has just begun, yesterday's deduction has been overturned, and the battle plan has almost completely collapsed, fortunately, Zhu Di is still the same Zhu Di, in the chaotic situation, although he was also stunned by this sudden change, but after stopping by the river for a while, he stood still, faced the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Leave him alone!" He fought his, I beat me, concentrated his forces, and attacked Li Jiujiang's Chinese army! ”

This is an extremely risky decision, all the generals will not change color, the rear army is attacked, if you ignore the forced crossing of the river to attack, when the time comes, the whole army will inevitably be defeated, they also thought that Zhu Di is still because of the defeat a few days ago, shameless, angry and fighting, so they have persuaded hard, but Zhu Di pointed to the other side of the river, and shouted coldly: "Withdraw reinforcements after this time, Li Jiujiang will take advantage of our army's retreat and take advantage of the situation to cover up!" Once they cross the river, they will inevitably be completely defeated, and there is no luck! ”

The morning fog dissipated, and the southern army on the other side showed its traces, and as Zhu Di said, the three armies were all ready to wait for a military order.

Zhang Yu was the first to understand: "Yes, instead of defending with offense, Li Jinglong divided his troops around, and the frontal troops were lost, as long as the battalion was broken, the crisis in the rear flank would be solved!" ”

"Not bad! Survive in death, that's all! Zhu Di gritted his teeth, "Order!" The whole army crosses the river! ”

When the military order was conveyed, the first person to cross the river was the Yan army's forward, and the general who led the troops was Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu's popularity is actually very low, Zhu Yunwen's Taimiao sacrifice does not have him, and his record in the offensive and defensive battles of Beiping and Zhending is not outstanding, the reason is that he is neither the commander of the three guards, nor the young governor of the court like Gu Cheng.

But this time, the position of the vanguard still fell to him, because although he was a little old, he had fought with Zhu Di for many years, and in those years he went to the steppe to fight the Mongols, and the striker was always his.

The army began to cross the river, Qiu Fu had a lot of pride in his heart, in his opinion, as long as he could break through the southern army camp today, his name would shine more brightly than what Zhang Yu and what Zhu Neng Gu Cheng!

He knew that his plan was not as good as Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, and the cavalry command was not as good as the young Gu Cheng, but he was better than the enemy and dared to fight, and he was never greedy for merit, and was deeply loved by the soldiers, so he was also very confident in this battle, knowing that this battle was extremely important to Zhu Di, he even took off his armor, went into battle shirtless with two swords in his hands, and personally led the troops to charge, but after a while, he knew that he was wrong, and he was ridiculously wrong.

Obviously, Li Jinglong really changed his mind this time, seeing that the Yan army began to attack, he knew that this was the king of Yan who was going to fight to the death, and now that the backyard of the Yan army was on fire, where did he need to fight against Zhu Di? Therefore, under an order, the Southern Army actually took a defensive position with a huge number of troops, and no matter how much Qiu Fu dared to rush and fight, he could not break through the defense line of the Southern Army and lived up to Zhu Di's expectations.

But it turns out that Zhu Di did not put all his expectations on him, which is also a blessing in misfortune, probably because he fought too much with the Mongols on the grassland, Zhu Di never followed the rules in war, and those who fought with him will find that although Zhu Di has the reputation of being good at fighting and taking the lead, his favorite is the trick.

What is a shady trick? He who can rush from the flanks will never rush to the front; If you can fight an ambush, don't be stupid enough to confront the enemy.

So this time too, Zhu Di knew how difficult it was to break through the camp of the Southern Army, so after sending Qiu Fu to attack frontally, he personally led the army across the river to the downstream, learned Ping'an and Qu Neng, and wanted to rely on grenades to impact the left flank of the Southern Army, he thought that he could completely defeat Li Jinglong there, just like the previous battles to achieve victory, but all this was just his extravagant hope.

Because when he managed to reach the left flank and was about to attack, he suddenly found that his brother-in-law had arrived.

The rear of the army sounded shouting and killing, Xu Huizu's soldiers and horses appeared on his flank, as the so-called way of others to govern their bodies, Xu Huizu has been watching coldly, copying his flank while Zhu Di turned, and launched an attack, especially disgusting, all this happened after he buried mines in Zhu Di's retreat.

Now Zhu Di was dumbfounded, he never expected that the war would develop to this point, a large part of the reason for this is because he regarded Li Jinglong as a real idiot, but what he didn't know was that although Li Jinglong would be intermittently mentally retarded, he was also a normal person most of the time, and being rigid for himself was also a matter before, and now Li Jinglong has suffered enough losses, how can he remember it for a long time.

What's more, how could Xu Huizu, who had been waiting for this opportunity this time, give him a chance? After Zhu Di came to close the door and let the dog go, he caught Yan Jun and beat him violently, and with Shangqiu Fu's frustration, Yan Jun was on fire everywhere at the moment, and fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

And the most terrible thing is that Zhu Di gambled too hard this time, and he personally led the army deep into the enemy's territory, which has become the target of everyone, with Li Jinglong in front and Xu Huizu in the back, and the retreat has also planted mines, and has been surrounded by regiments, I don't know how many southern troops are already waiting to take his head to ask for credit.

Zhu Di knows that it is unrealistic to wait for others to save him at this moment, and he can only rely on himself, thanks to the kung fu he has cultivated for many years, Zhu Di fought bravely like a trapped beast, inspired the soldiers, and survived in such a critical situation.

When the grenade is gone, he shoots an arrow; When the arrow is finished, he draws his sword and smotes it; When the sword is broken, he grabs the weapon and goes on fighting; The war horses under him have been changed three times, and the blood stains his armor red, but the enemies in front of him are still so endless, even if Zhu Di doesn't want to admit it anymore, he knows that he really can't hold on.

In desperation, he could only give the order to retreat towards the way he came, but the way he came had already been buried by Xu Huizu, so he had to use the method of demining the human life, and the explosion and loud noise all the way, I don't know how many lives were used to fill the minefield, so he could retreat to the shore, and then crossed the bridge.

This is really over, there is a strong enemy in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, almost everyone is injured, even Zhu Di is exhausted, Li Jinglong on the other side of the river saw that the main generals of all walks of life have a tendency to trap Zhu Di to death on the river bank, he couldn't help but be excited, and immediately ordered the handsome banner to move forward, and the whole army attacked, ready to beat the water dogs, and directly sent Zhu Di to the sky.

This is the most critical moment in Zhu Di's life, Li Jinglong's army is swarming towards the riverbank, the dream of the Ninety-Five Supreme seems to be shattered in front of his eyes, and Zhu Di, who is in despair, seems to have felt the feeling when the cold spear pierces his body.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! You can't do anything, please Your Highness immediately break through the siege, retreat to Beiping, and then plan later! ”

Zhang Yu, who was also covered in blood, knelt in front of Zhu Di, and the shout brought Zhu Di back to his senses, and Zhu Di smiled miserably: "Beiping? All my troops are here, and if I lose this battle, what is the aftermath? ”

Zhang Yu gritted his teeth: "If the rear army striker comes to help, there may be life!" Your Highness can't take risks, after the last general leads the troops to break through, please ask Your Highness to break through! ”

Reinforcements, reinforcements... It was a desperate word, but it made Zhu Di's eyes light up, he looked at the approaching southern army on the other side, and suddenly thought of a way that was not a solution.

He didn't know if this method was feasible, but he had to try it before he was willing, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and ran to the embankment on the side of the river.

Zhang Yu didn't know what Zhu Di wanted to do, so he followed quickly, only to see Zhu Di climb up the causeway, holding a horsewhip, waving into the distance, his movements were extremely calm, because the terrain was too high, this scene was clearly seen by everyone, and Li Jinglong, who was wearing his whole body and holding a long sword, was about to capture Zhu Di with his own hands at this moment, and the figure of Zhu Di on the causeway was extremely conspicuous in the sun, which happened to be projected in his eyes.

Seeing King Yan holding a horsewhip and waving in the distance, Li Jinglong was stunned at first, and then his face changed greatly: "Not good!" King Yan has ambush soldiers! ”

Thinking about it, the battlefield battle is so fierce, but I didn't see many Duoyan Sanwei cavalry, the power of those Duoyan Sanwei horses stepping on the company camp Li Jinglong has personally understood, if Zhu Di used himself as bait to lure the southern army across the river, and that cavalry was waiting for work at the moment and charging out, it would not be Zhu Di who died, but he Li Jinglong.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Jinglong's face was almost green, and he immediately made a decision, flicked the horse's head, and shouted: "Retreat!" The whole army retreats! Yan has ambush soldiers! ”

Ignore it, take the lead, and go away.

Only countless southern sergeants were left looking at each other, and the handsome flag fluttered in the wind.

Need.
