Chapter 129: Time
The Yan Wang Army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally launched a fierce attack on the southern army under the leadership of Zhang Yu, Tan Yuan and Zhu Neng.
The southern army was in chaos for a while, even if Geng Bingwen was experienced, but the army was in turmoil, and the military formation was naturally chaotic.
It rained overnight, Geng Bingwen still had confidence in the battle situation, and he commanded the soldiers to line up to resist the attack of the Yan Wang army from the front, but at this moment a bad news came.
"Dashuai is not good, King Yan has led the army to kill behind us, and we are under attack at the moment!"
"What?"
Geng Bingwen frowned, he knew that he could not escape the blame for the current situation, but if he continued to delay like this, what could he do even if there were many people? Sooner or later, the Yan Wangjun will kill all the 500,000 people he brought with him like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Immediately pass on the handsome order of Ben Shuai! Retreat, retreat quickly! ”
Needless to say, Geng Bingwen said that many southern troops had already begun to flee, and the imperial army was beginning to appear in defeat at this moment.
Although Geng Bingwen retreated, he was not a coward, he only knew how to run with his head down, and he didn't know how to analyze the situation.
In addition to the fact that he can't withdraw back, those who have been arrested, basically those who should have been withdrawn have been withdrawn, but there is a phenomenon that makes Geng Bingwen very uncomfortable, that is, a fierce general under Zhu Di, whose name is Zhu Neng, this person is biting the ass of his army with more than 30 people, and no one in the army led by his subordinates dares to turn back and fight back.
This is repaid, even if he has no fighting will, but hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, being chased by dozens of people, this is going to spread his identity as Changxinghou must not make people laugh off their big teeth?
"Arrogance! Kill me back! Kill me back! Array! ”
Not only Geng Bingwen is on fire, but this group of southern troops is also on fire, they are also soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people were chased by dozens of people to fight here, it was a shame to throw them to grandma's house, so for the minimum honor of soldiers, the southern army actually really regained their fighting spirit, stopped, turned around and picked up the weapons in their hands, and re-arrayed.
Under normal circumstances, people are forced to this point, which can be regarded as a desperate situation, and they don't plan to run and stop, so they turn around and pick up the weapon in their hands, which means that they have to fight hard.
It stands to reason that at this time, you shouldn't continue to chase and cut, poor Kou Mo chases, but Zhu Neng doesn't know if it's up or what, he obviously doesn't want to stop and continue to chase, since you stop, then I'm going to have a good time.
Zhu Neng is a person who dares to work hard, and facts have proved that if people die once they fight, any miracle can happen.
Zhu Neng was stunned to play the role of a leading soldier, screaming and rushing into the enemy formation, wielding a knife and slashing, and even the dozens of soldiers he brought with him were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were not afraid of death.
The imperial army was also stunned, and the fighting spirit that had just been regained was suddenly crushed by Zhu Neng, who was not afraid of death, and dozens of soldiers under him, it has been proved that sometimes one person can really affect a whole, or even two wholes.
The army immediately collapsed like yellow sand, even if Geng Bingwen tore his throat, he still couldn't stop these soldiers who had long lost their will to fight.
Geng Bingwen also re-examined himself, and now the best choice for the top priority was to withdraw to the city immediately, and the field court army was not the opponent of the Yan Wang army at all.
The Yan Wangjun fought a small battle every three days, a big battle in five days, and fought almost every day, compared with these imperial army that had been absent for a long time, it was like an adult to a baby.
Geng Bingwen knew that his real strength was defending the city, and only by retreating to the city could he give full play to his true strengths.
Despite this, hundreds of thousands of people were beaten to the ground against hundreds of thousands of people, and they were chased and beaten by dozens of people, which was really embarrassing, but Geng Bingwen couldn't take care of those at this time, if he really wanted to protect his old face, he had to preserve his strength.
"Withdraw to Zhending City, withdraw to Zhending City!"
……
In the handsome camp of King Yan, Zhu Di, King of Yan, captured more than 20,000 people alive this time, he arrived before Zhu Neng, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief when he took off his armor, Zhu Neng's face was covered with blood, and he was hideous like a demon crawling up in the underworld, and he got in.
"Your Highness, did we fail to stop that old guy Geng Bingwen? In the end, let him retreat to the city, what should he do next? ”
Zhu Di also made a cup of tea for Zhu Neng, and Zhu Di saw the heroic performance of his fierce general on the battlefield just now.
"That's not bad, you just took a few dozen people to chase hundreds of thousands of people, and since then you are really determined to fight, from now on you are also a famous general in the world, and you still feel that you don't take advantage of it enough, we still have too few people in our hands, and we can't completely wipe out several pairs of armies in the imperial court."
"And the most important thing is Geng Bingwen, this old guy, he actually retreated to the city, the thing that the king was most worried about happened, Geng Bingwen was the best at defending the city, he was in Changxing City for ten years, ten years! Chen Youliang has to fight so many times every year and every month, but he has never missed a game in ten years. ”
After Zhu Neng listened, his face showed a sad expression, Tan Yuan and Zhang Yu next to him glanced at each other, and Zhang Yu stepped forward and said.
"Your Highness, Chen Youliang can't break the city, but it may not be that we can't break it, I brought all the artillery used to defend Beiping City, don't we still have artillery? Big deal! ”
Zhu Di shook his head: "We don't have much gunpowder, I have a lot of use for this cannon, I can't waste it in Zhending, then organize a siege of the city, if you can't attack it, you will keep attacking, when will it be captured, when will it be counted, if it can't be attacked, then wait for the reaction of the imperial court, and see if the imperial court will remove this most defensive general." ”
……
Geng Bingwen really lived up to his name as the first defender of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yan Wangjun attacked the city for three whole days, but it was not breached, and he didn't even cut off a piece of the city wall.
Zhu Di and some of Zhu Di's generals knew that Geng Bingwen's highest defensive time was a full ten years, and he was facing Chen Youliang's army, which was several times larger than Yan Wang's army.
But his highest record, the soldiers below don't know, Zhu Di understands that fighting is a morale, if the soldiers know the real ability of Geng Bingwen in front of them, I'm afraid the siege will be even more difficult.
Time is good for Geng Bingwen and the court, but it is not good for King Yan, Geng Bingwen knows that King Yan also knows.
