Chapter 365: Zhang Dingbian's thoughts
"These two princes of the Zhu family are really not to be underestimated." Although he had praised many times in his heart, but at this time, if he really defeated these cavalry, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but praise in his heart.
He remembered that before the war, Zhu Su found him. "If the Yuan army kills the Ming army in Jizhen, hundreds of people will inevitably be destroyed again. Please also ask the laymen to help me. ”
At that time, Zhang Dingbian was also a little shocked in his heart, and asked him: "The sum of the two Yuan troops is probably 200,000." The Fifth Highness has less than 10,000 available soldiers in his hands, aren't you afraid that you will hit a stone with an egg? ”
Who knew that this highness was not deterred by the disparity between the enemy and me in the slightest. Instead, he said bluntly: "No matter how many rabbles there are, gathering in one place, they can only be regarded as a nest of snakes and rats at most." ”
"And Nahachu and Shanyang Wanhu have long had different intentions for the Yuan Court, and if they have different intentions, they will inevitably seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It's just a murderer, and as long as we put on a desperate posture to cut off one of their fingers, they will inevitably cringe. ”
Hearing that the young prince actually put Naha, who had a strong army, out of Shanyang Wanhu, and ganged with the murderers who were "acting recklessly" in the streets and alleys, Zhang Dingbian couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. He was also arrogant in his heart, and said: "Your Highness is so arrogant, you can treat them as scum of gangsters who bully the weak and fear the hard. ”
"Your Highness said, what do you want to do?"
"Please also ask the layman to kill his main general, so that the dragons are leaderless, and they will be defeated......" Zhu Su said.
Hearing this, Zhang Dingbian, who was still appreciative in his heart, was suddenly a little disappointed. What did he think was a good plan, and that's it?
gradually put away the smile on his face: "Your Highness, don't you think that a certain immortal Buddha is somewhere?" ”
"The power of one person is limited after all. Do you want to go to the army to take the enemy's main general? How is this different from sending a certain person to the vegetable market to kill his head? A person who is not a suicide person, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate. ”
"Haha, isn't Jushimo joking?" Zhu Su said with a smile. "Naturally, it is not the power of the layman alone. This king is not an unreasonable person, the layman is still a distinguished guest waiting for us, how can there be a reason to let the distinguished guest die in vain? ”
Capturing the flag and killing generals is not just relying on brute courage, which Zhu Su naturally knows.
But all the brave generals of the ancients, those who can have the merit of cutting generals and capturing the flag, are all wise and brave people. For example, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, once had the strategy of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat", and then fought bloodily to turn defeat into victory; For example, Hou Guan Yu of Hanshou Pavilion, when he killed Yan Liangwen Chou, he was also unprepared, and "relying on the fast horse" quickly cut off his head.
In the past, Zhang Dingbian broke the formation among the ten thousand armies, and he did not rely only on martial arts. He was also well versed in the art of war, and maintained a clear judgment of the enemy's situation from beginning to end. At first, he pretended to patrol the river, but it did not attract the attention of Lao Zhu's side. Then when he was close to his flank, he suddenly launched and attacked the formation, catching Lao Zhu off guard.
Then he chased the general all the way, and whoever was commanding the resistance rushed at whom, and killed Zhu Yuanzhang's generals Han Cheng, Chen Zhaoxian, Song Gui and others in a row, which made the Ming army chaotic and attacked each other, and then killed in front of Lao Zhu.
If you only rely on Wu Yong, there is also a counterexample: just a few days after Zhang Dingbian almost took Lao Zhu's head in the midst of the ten thousand troops, Lao Zhu's side also produced a ruthless man who "can't be braved by Zhang Dingbian": Ding Pulang.
After Zhang Dingbian staged a good show, Ding Pulang performed a sequel: he also led his warship to rush to Chen Youliang's enemy position, and once fought Chen Youliang's front line in chaos, and his position was unstable. But unlike Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Dingbian has been judging from beginning to end where to attack with the best chance of winning; And Ding Pulang is relying on his blood and bravery, and he will rush wherever there are many people.
In the end, Dimplang was dragged to death in the midst of the hosts, and although there was no head, his body was still standing in a slashing state. was so brave that Chen Youliang's army was shocked.
It's a pity that he didn't even touch Chen Youliang's side.
"This king will create an environment for the laymen to be able to attack the enemy unprepared." Zhu Su said to Zhang Dingbian. "The fourth brother of this king will always pay attention to the situation of the enemy army, and if there is no gap to be found, he will naturally not let the layman come forward. But if there is an opportunity, the king will let people unleash arrows. ”
This is the strategy that Zhu Su arranged for Zhang Dingbian. In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Su originally wanted Chang Mao to take on this task, but Chang Mao and Ding Pulang were generally just "brave husbands". If he is allowed to do it, it is very likely that he will be completely trapped in the enemy group later because of the rise of killing at the beginning. Therefore, this task can only be handed over to Zhang Dingbian, who is brave and powerful in the world, but is proficient in the art of war.
"That being the case, so-and-so agreed to His Highness." Zhang Dingbian thought about it and finally agreed. So at the beginning of the battle, he led his cavalry far behind, and took advantage of the smoke of fire and gunpowder and the smoke and dust raised as a cover, and went around to the agreed hiding position.
Then there was a sound of arrows, and more than a thousand cavalry were killed.
As soon as he attacked, he was shocked. I thought that the Fifth Highness was just trying to defend and look for fighters, but I didn't expect that as soon as I rushed out from behind the slope, I saw that the Mongolian cavalry was fleeing in a panic. What's even better is that the commander of this cavalry army, Da Xu, is actually in front of his Zhang Dingbian.
"That Fourth Highness's grasp of the timing of the attack is really amazing!" Zhang Dingbian was amazed in his heart. After all, the Mongols were all archers, and if they chased them, it was easy for them to use their riding and archery skills to cut the flesh with a slow knife.
It's much more convenient now, because the timing of the attack is wonderful, and his party has just appeared, and they just collide head-on with the enemy's main general, and they don't have room to escape if they want to......
This kind of pre-battle judgment is by no means comparable to ordinary people. You must know that in wartime when facing a defeated enemy, it is as if the treasure house has been opened and the hand is about to be stretched out at the last moment, and few people can hold back the ecstasy in their hearts and not rush towards their booty.
At this time, it is often the time when vigilance and patience are at their lowest.
One is facing ten thousand armies, but he is not afraid at all, and he still has a plan to break the enemy. A victory is not arrogant, and can still calmly judge the best timing. The two princes of the Zhu family are really not in the pool.
Zhang Dingbian raised his cane and fell, and directly smashed the terrified Tabin Timur off the horse. Then he pulled out the blade and took off the head of the enemy general. Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, the Mongol cavalry was even more terrified.
"It's so easy, I always feel a little unpleasant......" Seeing that the cavalry, who were still quite disciplined and fighting "retreating" while retreating, completely evolved into a "rout" that had no intention of resisting because of the death of the commander, Zhang Dingbian turned his mind slightly and decided to sell the two princes a favor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to make the first contribution with a certain one and completely defeat these Tartars?" Zhang Dingbian shouted with his head raised.
"I want to be around!" The Ming cavalry also felt that this ambush was too easy, and they were all excited when they heard the words, and even Chang Mao, who had always been at odds with Zhang Dingbian, was also full of emotion and did not refute it.
"Changjia doll, although you have the strength to do it. But how to fight the enemy, it is still far from your father. As soon as he saw Chang Mao, Zhang Dingbian remembered the military general who could still maintain his calm in the chaos and shoot his forearm with an arrow on Poyang Lake in the past.
If there is anyone in the world who can make him feel sorry for each other, then this person is very spring. It's a pity that the sky is not a holiday, so Yingjie himself has not yet intersected with him, so he is separated by yin and yang.
"And look at it, to be called a famous general, among the hosts, it should be so!" Zhang Dingbian jumped on the horse and said to Chang Mao, and then at a glance he found a general in the enemy army who was collecting the defeated soldiers and still had fighting spirit, and killed him first.
"......" Chang Mao didn't say a word, just looked at Zhang Dingbian's back. At that moment, he remembered the father he had admired all his life, but he didn't have time to teach him what he had learned all his life, and he was separated forever.
"Hmph, my lord still wants you to teach!" Chang Mao hurriedly shook his head, then clamped the horse's belly and rushed out with Zhang Dingbian.
On that day, Zhang Dingbian had no calculation, and the Mongolian Shanyang Wanhu was never able to organize a decent defense, but the front army was attacked by the retreating rear army, and there were countless tramples on each other.
Seeing this, the Liao king Azha lost his life and decisively withdrew the siege, and Guo Xing's troops were secured.
