At night, a sharp drizzle and a strong wind without a trace shrouded the flood of the first city in the south of the Yangtze River.

Han Xiu, the leader of the rebel army, put on a suit of armor and sat in the pavilion of the first city of Hongdu, and outside the window was the only good place in the entire Hongdu where he could look down on the inside and outside of the city.

I saw those dense buildings swaying in the drizzle, like twisted and struggling dragons.

Although the soldiers outside the cabinet came from a messy background, most of their clothes were dressed in tattered iron armor;

But at the first sight of order, the soldiers outside the pavilion led the way with torches, and the rest of the place was silent and dark.

Han Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "It's stormy weather tonight!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps, interrupting Han Xiu's thinking: "Lord! ”

The visitor was a middle-aged man, armed with a sword and wearing a red cloak, with an anxious and nervous expression.

Han Xiu frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The inside of the cabinet is bright, and the soldiers of the curfew in the city outside the cabinet inspect the city, and their steps and voices are all soft and thin;

"The king, Tanma reported, the imperial court took Wu Jinfan, the general of Zhenguo, as the commander, and raised 100,000 troops to attack."

"The Imperial Court?" Han Xiu's eyes narrowed.

The middle-aged man whispered, "Yes, doesn't the king know?" Emperor Yuanbo Zen throne Pingyuan Emperor Zhang Shi! After the new emperor ascends the throne, he will eliminate the world's unsubordinate. ”

"Hehe......" Han Xiu sneered.

"Nephew Han, do you have an idea?" Han Xiu sat in the pavilion and said.

He looked quite talented, with a map of Hongdu City and a map of the soldiers' formation, as well as a few books made of bamboo sticks.

He also took office as a lieutenant governor of a county under the jurisdiction of Hongdu.

Hearing his uncle's question, Han Rong stood up and replied, "My nephew does have a plan, but I can keep Hongdu safe!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Han Xiu urged excitedly.

Han Rong was a well-known painter in Daxu, but later the painting hall closed down, and there were military disasters everywhere, and the family was forced to be separated from each other, and his parents and relatives were in distress and his whereabouts are still unknown.

At that time, he was only twenty years old, and he was in the age of weak crowns.

When Han Yun heard Han Xiu's words, a grim smile appeared on his face.

Then he laughed, pointed to the map and said to Han Xiu: "This Hongdu City is bordered by the Yellow River in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the west, and the Shanhaiguan in the south, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Han Xiu was a little worried: "But this time the imperial court dispatched an army of 100,000 troops, and it is bound to attack with all its might, I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”

In March of the first year of Dajia, the black armor army and part of the forbidden army on the edge of the town marched to Hongdu in order to encircle and suppress the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Zhang Shi, the emperor of Daxu, sent Wu Jinfan as the commander and led the elite black armor soldiers to help.

The Chinese army has 15,000 guards of the Beijing Division, 5,000 forbidden troops, 3,000 archers and crossbow archers, and 30,000 elite black armor soldiers of the headquarters.

Among them was the rebuilt Invincible Black Armor Battalion.

This invincible black armor battalion is not the invincible black armor battalion.

and the Tuntian army recruited from all over the country, with 2,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 horses, and 3,000 cavalry.

There were 53,000 capable troops, plus a total of 50,000 auxiliaries, peasants, and common people, and it was known as a 100,000-strong rebel army.

This battle is related to the last majesty of the imperial court, if this battle is lost, it is useless for the imperial court to pretend to be a paper tiger, the prestige of the imperial court is lost, the rebel forces are more and more out of control, and finally even the capital can not be defended.

Therefore, in this battle, Emperor Pingyuan also made a lot of determination, and even wanted to drive the expedition in person, just because this battle was so important, Zhang Shi couldn't put his mind at ease, let alone sleep.

He sat on the bed, flipping through the notes on the table, most of the documents written on them, he felt very tired, he couldn't help but knead the bridge of his nose, and sighed.

"Ah~~"

The palace maid who was waiting next to him hurriedly went up to massage the emperor's shoulders and gently helped him relieve his fatigue.

。。。

On the march.

"This supervising army is ordered by the emperor to supervise the army, but General Wu is so forceful and violent that he actually makes the civilians in the cities and villages he passes through rather die than obey, but if the rear will be unstable for a long time, and the soldiers will not return in vain, can the second and third sons have a good plan?"

Although Foury is a doctor of the Shi family, he likes to pay attention to dress, ornaments and armor, but he does not talk much nonsense.

His gaze swept over the generals, who were silent.

Fu Li continued: "This official knows that you and others are loyal and brave, and they will definitely die for the imperial court, but this official also knows ......"

After he finished speaking, he paused, as if to observe the expressions of the crowd.

The general of the Fu family, Fu Tao is known for his courage and self-confidence, so he gave up.

"My lord, please speak up!"

Fu Li bowed: "In this case, we should take Hongdu as soon as possible." ”

"Lord Supervisor, the law of war, ten to surround it, five to attack it, now our army is five times the enemy, although it is said that Hongdu City is high and dangerous,

The enemy soldiers were not fully armoured, and there were also warriors and swordsmen to help, and there were also people in the market with farm tools who were forced to defend the city, at least about 50,000 people.

All in all, our army's military strength is slightly superior, but after a long journey, the consumption of grain and grass along the way is very huge, and I am afraid that the method of besieging the city will not work! ”

Fu Li frowned, only he knew that the imperial court had already used all its national strength, but the soldiers were leading different factions, and he, the supervising army, received a lot of military reports every day!

Fu Li asked pretending to be calm.

"Oh? What does the Fu 500 Lord think? ”

"According to the subordinates, General Wu can break Xunyang City within five days, and then he can attack Hongdu City with General Wu's 30,000 elites with a victory!"

Foury shook his head.

"The art of war is cloudy, the battle cannot be won, the battle cannot be spoken, the attack does not have to be pulled, and the attack cannot be spoken. Luring the enemy out of the city is the best strategy! ”

Fu Li has been the prime minister for decades, learned five cars, and learned a lot of laws and the art of war;

When I was young, I also had a dream of being a general, and now I have 100,000 troops stationed on the banks of the river, which is quite a bit according to the map.

Foury continued.

"Our army has been camped near Xunyang for a few days, and the Hongdu City must guess the true intentions of our army, so our army should first send scouts to investigate its truth and truth, and then choose the opportunity to attack at night, and the battle will definitely be successful!"

Daxu ,..................

Imperial Palace,.................

"Gonggong Zhu, what do you think of the battle between the imperial court and Jiangnan?"

Li Yuan looked at this deep palace and thick courtyard, and the only person he trusted around him was Gonggong Zhu, who completely relied on his report to find out the news.

Gonggong Zhu said in a low voice: "The Jiangnan rebellion has intensified, no matter whether the imperial court is willing to send troops to fight or not, Jiangnan will eventually change!" ”

"What is the king going to do?"

"The saints taught that if you want to destroy a man, you must first make him mad."

Li Yuan is in the current predicament, and if he loses his father-in-law Zhu, he will lose his "ears" and "eyes".

"Then you mean that we should mess up the court?"

Gonggong Zhu nodded.

"Well, I don't think it's time to muddy the water."

"What's the explanation?"

"Now above the court, the royal family, generations of nobles, civil ministers and military generals occupy most of them, they have their own interests and demands, and they contain each other, and no one can help anyone.

If we disturb the dynasty at this time, we will set ourselves on fire. ”

"So you mean, wait and see?"

"Exactly."

However, in the eyes of Gonggong Zhu, those powerful people in the court, that is, those civil ministers and military generals, are the real danger.

They wield military power and great influence, and if they annoyed such people, they could easily take a person's life, and the court would be restrained in order to maintain their interests, and they would not dare to touch them easily.

The influence of these people is extremely huge, and even the emperor may not be willing to offend them.

At that time, the black armor army, law-abiding, duty-abiding, soldiers, generals, and those who did not follow the king's law were punished by one degree, and the punishment was three clans.

The king's law is as strict as a god's power.......... The subordinates are not allowed to question the orders of the superiors, only unconditional obedience!

It's like a peerless swordsman who will allow you to defeat the enemy, attack it, you will defeat it, if you don't defeat it, you will die, or die in battle, or die at the hands of your colleagues, otherwise you will be on the same team!

You will be ordered to defend the city, and if you do not keep it, you will die, or die in front of the battle, or die in exile, leaving behind the reputation of a fleeing black-armored soldier.

You must know that the prestige of the black armor soldiers in the border town is like a firefly in the night, but it has made the enemy country dare not invade Daxu for 20 years.

20 years later, the black armor reappeared in the eyes of the world, and it was still as majestic as the god of war!

In fact, in Daxu, there are only two choices, or continue to be the people of Daxu?

Either he will be the opposite, and like most people, he will be a rebel and bow his face like a warrior.

However, either way, it was a fate, death under the sword of the black armor soldier!
