Goode read: "Shi Liancheng? ”

Mo Haotian hurriedly said: "Shi Liancheng is the sworn brother of the Ming Emperor, and now he is the general of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Well, what kind of person is this?"

Although Mo Haotian was reluctant to say good things about Shi Liancheng, he had to say: "Shi Liancheng is brave and resourceful, and he is the right-hand man of the Ming Emperor." Then he told Shi Liancheng's past several major achievements. Goode nodded thoughtfully.

It is said that Ma Jin saw that Tianzhu Junchen was in a mess, and he couldn't help but despise it very much, and after meeting Emperor Tianzhu politely, he left without waiting for the other party to say anything.

A little later, the Grand General of the Eighth Army led the main force of the Eighth Army to Faizabad. Ma Jin immediately went to greet him. When the two met, Ma Jin couldn't help but say: "Tianzhu people are too useless!" With such a large army, it was defeated by the Crusaders! Xingfang said: "Tianzhu people are useless, and we don't know it now." Then he said strangely: "It's okay for the others, the Kshatriya who fought with us, although there is a big gap between us and us, but it is not so badly defeated, right?" ”

Ma Jin sneered: "Tianzhu can be regarded as a general in this Kshatriya, but when the crusaders came to the city of Delhi, Emperor Tianzhu listened to the slander and did not need Kshatriya to be the commander!" As a result, in less than three days, Delhi was broken by the Crusaders! After that, the situation of defeat could no longer be contained. At that moment, Dili didn't know what was going on, but he actually ran all the way with his hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Legion, and even fled without making any resistance to the enemy! He didn't know where he had fled now! ”

Xingfang frowned, looking puzzled. A humane in the appearance of a Tianzhu man next to him: "In Tianzhu, the so-called big army is actually the four major warlords, and the central government is strong in peacetime, and these warlords naturally dare not have any meaning to the orders of the central government." But now, the situation is very different, and these warlords naturally don't want to work hard for the central government! The one who spoke was Kumar, one of the chief staff of Governor Beniji, Dhaka. The Ming army entered Tianzhu to fight this time, and they were unfamiliar with the place, so Shi Liancheng specially asked Kumar and others, who were familiar with the situation in Tianzhu, to be the guides of the army to fight with the army.

Xingfang smiled: "This is really called a tree falling down!" ”

Emperor Tianzhu was about to flee Faizabad when suddenly an officer rushed in in a frenzy. The emperor and the civil and military nobles couldn't help but get nervous, they thought that the enemy army had arrived. I saw that the officer ran to His Royal Highness, and said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, the Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming!" Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they only felt incredulous. Then the emperor hurried out of the gate, and everyone reacted and hurriedly followed.

Everyone came to the gate, only to see that the Ming army was entering the city, the flag was like a cloud, the swords and guns were like a forest, the iron armor was solemn, and the murderous spirit was soaring, as if the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals had come down to earth. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, only to feel that the Ming army had arrived, and they were finally safe.

At that moment, an officer rushed to the emperor and reported: "Your Majesty, the general of the Ming Dynasty is here." Everyone retracted their gaze, only to see a powerful Ming general coming over surrounded by a group of Ming soldiers. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted them. Coming to the face of the Ming general, Emperor Tianzhu couldn't care less about being reserved, and bowed with infinite joy: "It's great that the general is here!" All the civil and military and aristocratic people echoed with infinite joy.

Xingfang said: "Let's go in and talk." After the words fell, he led his men and soldiers into the way. The emperor and others hurriedly followed.

Everyone came to the top of the hall, and the party sat down on the top. Seeing this, everyone in Tianzhu couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but no one dared to criticize them. Emperor Tianzhu led his civil and military and nobles to stand on the left, and the soldiers and staff under the command of Xingfang stood on the right.

Xingfang asked Emperor Tianzhu: "How many people are there in your Tianzhu army now?" Emperor Tianzhu was stopped by Si Xingfang, and quickly turned his head to ask the generalissimo Keniel beside him, Keniel hurriedly said: "Probably, there are probably more than ten or two hundred thousand horses, right?" ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty looked at each other, and couldn't help but admire these Tianzhu people, they didn't even know how many soldiers and horses they still had in their hands. Xingfang said angrily: "I don't even know how many soldiers and horses I have in my hands!" The crowd couldn't help but be ashamed. Xingfang asked again: "Then you always know how many soldiers and horses the enemy is coming, right?" ”

Emperor Tianzhu and several marshals looked at each other, and Generalissimo Purusha said: "This and this, it should be more than 500,000!" Xingfang only felt defeated by them, and said to the people of Tianzhu: "You don't try your best to resist the enemy, but only care about fleeing to the east, where are you going to flee?" Everyone hadn't thought about this question yet, but now when they heard Xingfang say this, they couldn't help but be afraid.

Xingfang looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, and said angrily: "You still have so many soldiers and horses, don't you want to resist?" Everyone did not speak, and the great nobleman Yin Dier said: "We can't defeat the crusaders!" But now that the Ming Army is here, we can rely on the Ming Army! Everyone thought so, nodded their heads and agreed, saying that all their lives were entrusted to the Ming Army.

Xingfang couldn't help but scold: "You waste, can you only rely on others to save your life?" The crowd was ashamed, and their pride was hurt, and they were very angry. However, although he was angry, no one dared to show it. Xingfang said: "Although this general sent troops to rescue you by His Majesty's holy order, if you want to save your own life, you can't rely on us alone. You have to do it yourself! From now on, all Tianzhu troops must cooperate with our army in the war and accept the command of our army! ”

Emperor Tianzhu hurriedly said: "As long as you can defeat the crusaders, everything is up to the general!" Then he asked, "I wonder how many soldiers and horses the general brought?" ”

Xingfang said: "My Eighth Legion is here, a total of 60,000 people. Everyone muttered quietly, and they were all full of hope just now, but now they all looked worried. The emperor hurriedly asked, "General, didn't General Wu come?" ”

Xingfang said: "General Shi Liancheng led the soldiers and horses, and it will take about three days to arrive." When everyone heard that it would take three days for Shi Liancheng's soldiers and horses to arrive, they couldn't help but be even more worried. Xingfang said to the emperor: "The first thing you need to do now is to gather your soldiers and horses and count them clearly!" Don't talk nonsense about more than 100,000 or 200,000! Also, keep all the food and grass baggage! The emperor answered, and immediately ordered several generalissimos under his command. Several generalissimos answered the promise and ran down.

That night, just when the Xingfang was waiting impatiently, news finally came from the Tianzhu army that the army had been assembled, with a total of about 250,000 men and horses. When Xingfang and the others heard this number, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Ma Jin said: "I heard that Tianzhu's Central Legion has more than 500,000 people, and I originally thought that the numbers were untrue, but now it seems that this is indeed the case!" 500,000 people, and more than 100,000 Eastern Legions, relying on the fortified city, couldn't stop the three or four hundred thousand crusaders! Defeat after defeat is like a lost dog, which is really eye-opening! Xingfang shook his head and said, "This is simply a bunch of rubbish!" ”

Ma Jin said worriedly: "General, what is the use of such soldiers and horses, will it affect us if they want them to cooperate with us in the war?" ”

Xingfang said: "I just want them to stay on the wrong path, and we are responsible for the head-to-head duel." Ma Jin frowned and said: "The last general led the war cavalry to fight with the crusaders before, and the combat power of the crusaders should not be underestimated!" Do you want to wait for the general to come up and then fight against him? ”

Xingfang said angrily: "Do you want me to retire temporarily?" Wouldn't it make the enemy laugh if our army retreated without a fight when it was close to the enemy! If this kind of thing reaches His Majesty's ears, you and I can't explain it! I can't afford to lose this man! Ma Jin frowned and said, "But ......"

Xingfang waved his hand and said impatiently: "You don't want to raise the morale of others and destroy our own prestige!" Although the enemy has more soldiers and horses, our Ming army is invincible! In a duel in battle, there is absolutely no reason why our army cannot defeat the enemy! When Ma Jin saw the general say this, he didn't say anything more.

The Xingfang immediately ordered the Tianzhu army to rest for the night, and set out early tomorrow morning to march west with their own army, in an effort to stop the eastward advance of the Crusaders near the Widow's Mountain. The officer was ordered to go to the Tianzhu military camp to give the order, and soon returned to say that the Tianzhu army had received the order. The line ordered his soldiers to rest and prepare for a big battle tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the Ming army and Tianzhu's 200,000 troops marched to the west. Didn't Tianzhu have 250,000 troops, why did only 200,000 go west with the Ming army? It turned out that this was an order from Xingfang, and he ordered 200,000 Tianzhu troops to cooperate with his own battle, and left 50,000 soldiers and horses to stay in Fazabad in order to receive grain and grass, which was also a regressive support for the army in case of invincibility.

The line divided the army into three roads and marched westward, the Ming army naturally took the middle road, preparing to engage with the enemy's main force, and the 200,000 Tianzhu army was divided into two roads, left and right, to protect the flank of the Ming army. At noon, the Eighth Army led by Xingfang marched to the vicinity of Widow's Hill. At this time, the scout came to report that the enemy's 50,000-strong army was less than ten miles away from the Widow's Mountain, and the party immediately ordered the army to attack, preparing to give the enemy a head-on attack.

Soon after the afternoon, the dust appeared in front of me, and gradually, the smoke and dust swept into the sky, and the yellow tide rolled in. After a while, I saw a white sea under the yellow tide, and the swords and guns of Rulin reflected the dazzling light. The forward forces of the crusaders finally appeared.

The rumbling of war drums on the Widow's Mountain reminded me that the officers and men of the Eighth Army quickly rushed down, and they rushed directly towards the other side without array. The cavalry is in front, the infantry is behind, the tide of soldiers is rolling, and the roar is like thunder!

Seeing this, the crusaders were not afraid, and with the roar of the leading generals, the 50,000 army also rushed towards the Ming army with a shout, and in an instant, they saw the white tide rolling and the sword light surging! Two huge waves rushed against each other, and in the blink of an eye, they collided with each other! The war horses rushed forward in the crowd, the crossbowmen kept firing arrows at the opponent's crowds, the heavy infantry marched forward bravely, and the fierce generals of each army sacrificed their lives to fight; On the magnificent battlefield, I saw the sword light flying and the flesh and blood flying, and the soldiers on both sides fell in a pool of blood, although the Ming army was strong and fierce, and the crusaders were not inferior.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than two quarters, and the crusaders gradually showed signs of weakness. However, the crusaders did not want to retreat, and continued to rush forward under the command of the general, sacrificing their lives to fight.

Seeing that the enemy was so strong, Xingfang couldn't help but be ruthless, and personally led three hundred soldiers to rush straight in the direction of the opponent's general flag. The horses stepped on the thousands of troops and moved forward, and the Ming knights frantically slashed and killed the enemy, raising a rain of blood; The Crusaders are desperately resisting this fierce and peerless Ming army, such as the spear of the forest wrapped up, such as the wall of the long knife constantly blocked in front of the Ming army, in the tragic bloody battle, only to see the crusader soldiers fall one after another, and the Ming war cavalry is on the back of the horse!

The personal soldiers led by Xingfang finally broke through the enemy's resistance and rushed straight to the face of the enemy general. The crusader general was also extremely brave, and when he saw the enemy rushing up violently, he immediately roared and led his own soldiers to meet the attack, and the two sides fought together! You come and go, knives come and go, you stab me, I slash you, and the blood flies all over the sky reflecting the crazy faces of the soldiers on both sides! The soldiers on both sides fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the killing was inseparable! Xingfang and the enemy will sacrifice their lives in the midst of thousands of troops! The line side brandished the big sword, the other party waved the cross sword, and the continuous collision made a sonorous sound together, and after dozens of rounds, there was no winner or loser!

The crusaders gradually became unable to support themselves, and the army began to retreat gradually in the face of the huge pressure of the Ming army. The Ming army became more and more courageous the more they fought, and the war horses clashed forward like crazy tigers and leopards, constantly rushing the enemy army; The infantry marched forward, stomping on blood and corpses to constantly storm the enemy troops. The Crusaders did their best to resist, but the whole army involuntarily kept retreating.

Ma Jin led 500 horsemen around the front of the enemy army and launched a fierce surprise attack on the Crusaders from the flank. The crusaders were already crumbling under the frontal onslaught of the Ming army, and the situation was not good, where could they withstand the flank raid of Ma Jin's hussars! When he landed, the hussar that saw Ma Jin tearing apart the enemy army like a hot knife cutting cream, and marched forward to step on a thousand troops. The crusaders were panicked by this round of raids, and the frontal battle situation was even worse, only to see that the main force of the Ming army was pressed down like a landslide and tsunami, and in an instant, the crusaders were killed and bloodied, and the front was almost about to collapse.

Seeing that the crusaders were about to be defeated, at this moment, the whining of trumpets and the sound of war drums came from the rear of the crusaders. I saw tens of thousands of other crusaders coming from the west.

The Ming army couldn't help but be surprised, while the crusader soldiers were demoralized. Everyone fought bravely to be the first and sacrificed their lives to fight back against the Ming army. The battle was in a stalemate again.

Seeing that the enemy's fresh army had arrived, the Xingfang knew that he had lost the opportunity to defeat the enemy in front of him, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat.

So the Ming army fought and retreated, broke away from contact with the crusaders, and retreated to the Widow's Mountain.

After the Crusaders and reinforcements at the bottom of the mountain, the Crusaders began to attack the mountain when they rushed towards the Widow's Mountain. Arrows rained down on the mountain, and the crusaders attacking the mountain couldn't lift their heads, and people kept being hit by arrows rolling down the hillside! The crusaders attacked for a while, and when they saw that the Ming army was heavily defended, they couldn't rush up in a hurry, so they stopped the attack and retreated. The crusaders retreated to the stream below the hill and set up camp.

Night fell, and bonfires rose in the enemy camp below the mountain, and only the shadows of people could be seen in the light of the fire. At this moment, another crusader army in the distance drove towards this side. There was a cheer in the Crusader camp, and the Crusader camp expanded even more.

By midnight, the Crusader camp had fallen silent, and everyone but the men in charge of the guard had fallen asleep. And just then, another torch came from the west. A sentry in charge of the lookout patted his companion, pointed to the torches in the distance, and said, "Another army is coming!" The companion looked at it and said, "This army is not very numerous, I don't know which part it is!" The sentry laughed, "It doesn't matter which part he is!" ”

Soon after, the army came closer. The captain who was in charge of guarding the perimeter of the camp walked towards the army and asked in a loud voice: "Password!" "Naturally, it is Germanic.

The army went on, but did not answer his words. The captain thought that the other party had not heard, and shouted again: "Password! Almost at the same time, only the sound of breaking the sky was heard. The captain was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold pierce his throat! Immediately, the whole person involuntarily fell backwards! Suddenly, I saw hundreds of war horses rushing in, cutting vegetables and melons to slaughter the soldiers under them!

Gomez, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the commotion outside, and quickly jumped out of the camp bed and ran out of the tent. Following the prestige, I saw the fire flickering in the west, and countless men and horses were rushing into the barracks. Gomez immediately realized that something was wrong, and his face changed. At this moment, a general came up in a hurry, and said urgently: "Oh no, it's the Ming cavalry, they are killing from the west!" ”

Gomez drew his crossed sword from his waist and shouted: "We are God's warriors, fearless!" When the general heard this, his originally panicked mood couldn't help but calm down a lot.

Gomez said to his generals: "You immediately go and mobilize your troops and tell everyone that there are not many enemies, and we must destroy them!" The general answered the promise and ran down. Gomez turned his head to the soldiers beside him and said, "You come with me!" Then he led his own soldiers to step on the war horse and ran straight towards the Ming army that broke into the barracks. When I arrived at the scene, I saw a camp in chaos, the Ming Dynasty cavalry killed people everywhere and set fires, and under the reflection of the fire, there were soldiers fleeing for their lives everywhere. Gomez couldn't help but be annoyed and shouted: "Warrior of God, have no fear! Don't run away, fight back with me! Immediately, he rushed into the enemy army and fought with the enemy.

The Crusader soldiers, who were originally in a panic, saw their generals rushing into the enemy army first, and their blood boiled, and they stopped running and counterattacked the enemy army. For a while, I saw a surging crowd of people, snoring like thunder, and thousands of crusaders gathered from all directions to counterattack the Ming army that attacked the camp. At the same time, other armies were mobilized, and the situation seemed to be reversed.

And at this moment, a huge killing sound suddenly came from the east. Xingfang led the main force of the Ming Dynasty to suddenly appear and storm the east side of the crusader camp. At this time, the attention of the crusaders was attracted by the Ming army that broke into the camp from the west, but they didn't expect the main force of the Ming army to attack from the east, and the camp was broken through in an instant! I saw that the Ming army poured into the crusader camp like a tide, and moved forward bravely, and the remaining crusader soldiers couldn't resist being washed away!

Gomez, who was counterattacking the enemy forces in the west, was taken aback when he heard the report of the enemy's main force breaking into the camp from the east, and quickly turned his head to look. I saw the fire flickering in the camp to the east, and countless enemy troops were pouring into the camp, almost unstoppable. Gomez immediately ordered a part of his army to continue to counterattack the enemy army in the west, and he led most of his troops and horses to the east, and then collided with the Ming army in the camp. It's a big battle, and the sky is dark, like countless tigers and leopards sacrificing their lives! Flesh and blood flew all over the sky, and tents turned into burning torches!

The battle lasted until the early morning of the next day, when the Ming army stopped its attack and retreated to the Widow's Mountain. The crusader camp was in shambles, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were stacked on top of each other, and the entire ground was stained with blood; Countless tents were reduced to piles of black wreckage, and countless grains of grain and grass were reduced to ashes.

Gomez made his rounds of the camp with a gloomy face. He is a famous general of the Holy Roman Empire, and his status is still above the previous Daxter, and he has never eaten such a suffocation since his debut.

A subordinate general rushed up and reported: "Your Excellency, we suffered nearly 20,000 casualties last night, of which more than 10,000 were killed. ......" Gomez frowned, "what about the enemy?" How many enemies died? The general said: "The enemy's corpses should exceed 6,000, and the specific ones are still being counted!" Gomez's brow furrowed even tighter. The general said: "The loss of soldiers is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the loss of grain and grass. It's huge, and a large part of the grain and grass we carried with the army have been lost! ”

At this moment, two general-looking people led a group of sergeants to rush over. These two men were the commanders of the two armies that had come together yesterday. The aristocratic one on the left is called Muller, and the swarthy tall and thin one on the right is called Khedira, both of whom are also famous generals of the Holy Roman Empire. However, both of them are slightly inferior to Gomez and on par with Dast.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
