Chapter 354: Bloody Battle of Yangzhou III

No one believed that the opponent would attack at night, after all, it was the eunuch who put forward this idea, even if Cao Huachun's identity was not simple, but even so, Xu Xilian, as the Duke of Dingguo, would not take the eunuch in his eyes.

"My family is also a national relative..."

The Xu family is a relative of the Zhu Di era, much more powerful than the Xun family, although it has been more than two hundred years, but it is still an aristocrat in essence.

"You are still young, you must not be reckless in this battle, and when the Chinese army gives the order, this is the battle...

If we fail, we will not be the ones who will suffer. ”

Don't look at Xue Lian's youth, but inheriting the title of Marquis of Yangwu was fought for by his family, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he has never slackened off in war drills: "Don't worry, I know." ”

"Don't be impulsive, the Yangwu Marquis family can't be destroyed in your hands."

Xue Lian blushed a little, during the day, he was eager to make meritorious service, and he led his subordinates to rush to the city wall, and was beaten back several times.

came back so safely, and his family guards also suffered many casualties.

"Zhang Gaoping's ability is not low, and my father never despises this person," Xu Xilian has some sub-means, if it weren't for Xue Lian knowing his details, Xue Lian would have envied Xu Xilian for three points just from the previous few words.

After all, it's a gentleman in his bones...

"Let's go back and make arrangements, that is, the southern army will not attack at night, and we must also have all aspects."

Xue Lian was stunned for a moment, and sneered in his heart, weren't you the dead eunuch in various North Koreas before? Why are you still scared now?

"Yes, I will obey the orders of the national army."

Xu Xilian obviously saw Xue Lian's expression, and then said with a colorless face: "Soldier, treacherous..."

Out of Xu Xilian's big tent, Xue Lian returned to his own camp under the escort of his family, and said after a long time: "Go, arrange it, the left post is responsible for guarding tonight, the right post is not allowed to take off his armor when resting, and the war horse must be ready." ”

"Master Hou, could it be that the Southern Army will really come to attack at night?"

Xue Lian's escort leader, the son of the family, Xue Cong, frowned and asked: "If it is a night attack, our army will be at the front of the camp, should we go to dig the horse pit first?" ”

Although Xue Lian is young, he also grew up in the capital, and he can see it at a glance without any observation, compared to Xu Xilian's words tonight, Xue Lian really sneered at this time: "Dong Shi Xiaofeng's idiot, also worthy?" ”

Xue Cong didn't know where to go, he was going to let people go to his own camp to dig a trap pit.

Before the time came, Xue Lian, who had just slept for a short time, vaguely heard the shouts and gunfire, and sure enough, Xue Cong ran into the big tent dressed in a cloak: "Master Hou, there is a faint fire on the other side of the northern city, maybe the southern army really went out of the city and attacked at night." ”

Xue Lian sat up violently and took a deep breath: "Go to the Zhongjun tent to tell the Duke of Guo, just say... The southern army went out of the city to attack at night, and the whole army needed to be on guard. ”

Not long after, Xue Cong, who reported the news, came back, a little decadent.

"How's it going?"

"Back to the Hou Ye, Dingguo Gong woke up and said that there is no need to worry, as long as you don't attack us here, there is no military order from Chengguo Gong's side, and you don't need to go out of the camp to rescue."

"Idiot..."

Xue Cong didn't know who Xue Lian was scolding, thinking that he was scolding himself, so he lowered his head: "Little incompetence..."

Xue Lian raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked towards the side of Beicheng, the originally dark night sky was reddish at the moment, which indicated that a large army had gathered.

Can't sit still..

"Someone..."

Xue Cong hurriedly stepped forward: "Master Hou..."

"Beat the drums and gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters..."

The sharp drum beat made Xu Xilian walk out of the military tent with a solemn face: "Xue Lian really thinks how powerful he is?" ”

The generals around him were slandering the idea that you asked him to pay attention to the night attack, and he heard Xu Xilian shouting: "Go and call Xue Lian, my father wants to see what he wants to do?" ”

Song Changfu's subordinates are all people who dare to die, and in the duel of hundreds of thousands of people, only that group of dead soldiers plays a key role, and it is this group of dead soldiers who can enhance the morale of the whole army in the decisive battle, so as to defeat the opponent.

Zhang Gaoping's plan was simple, a night attack...

With Li Mingyuan's troops as the main force, he feinted to attack Zhu Chunchen's camp in Beicheng and create chaos, while he led Song Changfu's trapping camp and Yin Dongsheng's cavalry troops to attack Xu Xilian's department.

And the ultimate goal is also Xu Xilian's gentleman.

There are not many people, and this time Zhang Gaoping personally went out of the city, bringing only 40,000 people, not even half of Xu Xilian's department.

"This is..."

"The sound of horses' hooves..."

Xue Lian was unusually calm, although he was impulsive during the day, but after the test of life and death, he was 100% convinced that he had become a qualified commander.

"The same was true of the ancestors then?"

After muttering, Xue Lian shouted: "Mingjin, the enemy is attacking..."

In the distance, there was a sound of heavy objects falling into a horse pit, but it was only blocked for a moment, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer...

"Artillery preparation..."

Knock knock...

Xue Lian's department also has artillery, but there are few, most of them are in Xu Xilian's central military tent, and the only one musket Qianhu is gathering in a panic at the moment.

Yin Dongsheng, who was charging, immediately reined in his horses after the forward dozen horsemen fell into the trap, and then ordered a surprise attack on both sides, and after the cannon sounded, they did not slow down, but accelerated towards the fence.

It was this operation that did not make the losses under his command greater, on the contrary, Zhang Gaoping, who was behind him, heard the shortness of the artillery.

"Xue Lian doesn't have many firearms, it's an opportunity, Song Changfu, order his subordinates to prepare..."

"It's handsome..."

Not far from the fence, a rain of arrows struck, and there were countless people who fell off the horse, Yin Dongsheng took out the fire fold, lit the fierce fire oil jar on the warhorse, and then threw it towards the fence with all his strength.

The shouting of killing has already shook the sky, Xu Xilian was a little panicked, and he was a little uncomfortable when he didn't wait for Xue Lian, who came to report to work, until now the fire has been ignited in Xue Lian's forward army camp.

"Grandpa, the right flank of the Chinese army has bombed the camp..."

Xu Xilian suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and bombing the camp meant a big defeat, and unless the commander completely suppressed it by force, it would be useless.

"Bastard thing... Hurt me... Hurt me..."

"Grandpa is angry, the last general will go to suppress..."The deputy chief soldier Su Guoxian immediately got on his horse and left after holding his fists.

A staff member stepped forward: "Guogong, our army is uncertain about victory, and I think that Guogong should lead a large army to move closer to Chengguo Gong first." ”

The shouts of killing in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the enemy cavalry had even rushed to kill at the gate of the Chinese army.

"Xue Lian is still ahead..."

Xu Xilian was not at ease, he knew that once he retreated, the forward battalion that stood in front could only be a big defeat, and he was a dignified prince, how could he abandon a marquis, if he was defeated because of this, his Xu family's face would be completely gone.

"Don't..."

It was rare for the family members to see the master of the gentleman become resolute: "Su Guoxian has already gone to suppress it, after the suppression of the right wing battalion is completed, let Su Guoxian lead troops to reinforce Yangwuhou, come, prepare the artillery, no matter how many enemy troops there are outside the camp, kill this gang of dogs first." ”

The fierce cannon sound blew up Zhang Gaoping's back in full swing, which also made Zhang Gaoping look at Xu Xilian with admiration: "I have some courage, but I don't know if it was the general under them who did it." ”

Song Changfu stepped forward: "Commander, the last general will ask for battle..."

The battalion of the Northern Army in front of it was already in chaos, and it was a good time for the whole army to attack.

Zhang Gaoping nodded: "Let's go, after the big victory in this battle, this marshal will ask for credit for you." ”

With Song Changfu's death squad joining, Xue Lian couldn't stop the trend of rout after struggling to support him, and slowly moved closer to Xu Xilian of the Chinese army.

Rout...

Here we go...

Xue Lian was covered in blood, he was injured, but he was young, after he killed a dead soldier of the Southern Army with a knife, he was hit in the back by the enemy horse behind him with a meteor hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out at that time, this kind of internal injury, no one can bear it.

Xu Xilian saw Xue Lian, who had passed out, and the reinforced Su Guoxian immediately went to rescue Xue Lian according to the order after pacifying the bombing camp, and it was also timely to snatch Xue Lian, if it weren't for this, Xue Lian would have been captured.

"Guogong, we must retreat immediately, our army is defeated..."

Xu Xilian was a little stunned, and when Su Guoxian saw this, he immediately ordered Xu Xilian's family to pull him on the war horse, and then let them withdraw first.

The battle was fought until dawn, and when Zhu Chunchen ordered Wang Xie, the commander of the horses, to lead the army to help, there was only one burning camp left for Wang Xie.

In Zhu Chunchen's Chinese military tent, there was silence at the moment, Zhu Chunchen's green muscles burst out, and at this moment he hated to kill people in order to dredge this evil fire.

"By the time Xiaguan led the army to arrive, the Dingguo Gong camp had become a sea of fire, full of dead bodies of the Southern Army and our army, and found a surviving sergeant, saying that Dingguo Gong led the army to the east to evacuate before dawn, and Xiaguan had already sent more than a dozen scouts to investigate."

After Wang Xie finished speaking, he saw Zhu Chunchen lowering his head and clenching his fists without speaking, and then looked at Cao Huachun, the prison soldier not far from him.

"Wang Duwei worked hard..."

With Cao Huachun opening his mouth, Wang Xie retreated in disdain.

"Although the old body is not at war with Zhang Gaoping, he will not underestimate the opponent..."

Qin Liangyu's face was big, and this sentence was not to give Zhu Chunchen a good face on the spot, but Zhu Chunchen only trembled after hearing it, but he never spoke.

Seeing this, Zhu Yanrong felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he said: "The southern army feinted to attack the camp, and simply lost the lives of many sergeants, as long as there is no news from Dingguogong's side, it is good news..."

Many people nodded in agreement, but at least from the perspective of discerning people, Zhu Yanrong's words were a little self-deceptive.

Qin Liangyu still belongs to the guest army, and the white pole soldiers under her command have never given these northern soldiers a good look, especially the Beijing camp troops, in their opinion, these are veteran oils, mixed and waiting for death.

"Whew..."

Zhu Chunchen raised his head and let out a long breath, then got up and arched his hand towards Qin Liangyu: "For the sake of the same dynasty, I hope that the general army of Qin will give advice..."

This is?

Many people were surprised, the Northern Army came all the way from Shandong, and Zhu Chunchen had never been so low-voiced.

Especially won the battle of Gaoyou, and at that time he was already looking at all living beings.
