There are not many ships in Xuzhou, and most of them are not military ships, they are all civilian ships and merchant ships, so it is not easy to get all 20,000 people on board.

Zhu Song is in Xuzhou Port, watching the fleet get farther and farther, this time Zhu Di's situation is still very dangerous, because the road from Xuzhou to Zhen'an Port in Yangzhou is the real danger, the Northern Army soldiers are brave, this is absolute, but the courage is fierce on land, and when it comes to the ship and the water, it is not like that.

So Zhu Di and Zhu Song pondered it carefully, and this time they went south to Yangzhou, and the 20,000 elites led by Zhu Di were replaced with the armor of the imperial court.

In addition, under the leadership of Zhang Yu, another 50,000 horses were allocated to go by land, and this time a total of 70,000 horses went straight to Yangzhou.

And Zhu Song wants to sit in Xuzhou, Zhu Song has already got the news, Jinan has sent troops, and he wants to perform another golden cicada here, so that the defenders of Jinan think that the two commanders of the Northern Army are in Xuzhou City.

Sure enough, less than three days later, Sheng Yong brought 100,000 soldiers and horses from Jinan to the city, and at this time Zhu Song had 130,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and all of them were elite.

If these 130,000 soldiers and horses want to swallow all these 100,000 soldiers and horses, the end must be relatively miserable, but it is relatively simple to beat them away, interrupt the morale that they have so hard to rise, or drag them down.

Although they blocked the Northern Army for more than half a year, in the end they were hiding in the city, without the protection of the city wall, and facing the brave and warlike Northern Army was like running through the streets with a bare butt being chased by their own mother.

However, Sheng Yong is not an idle person, this is the only uncertain factor in this war, but in Zhu Song's eyes, even if it is uncertain, it is just a small uneasy factor.

Zhu Song stood in Xuzhou City and looked at the 100,000 soldiers and horses below, he knew that according to Zhu Di's style, he would never hide in the city and wait for the battle, and Zhu Di would definitely lead the cavalry out to fight with him.

"Passing on the king's order, order Zhang Wu to change into the armor of King Yan and lead 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to meet the battle!"

Zhang Wu gave the order: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Zhang Wu has been with Zhu Di for many years and is one of the generals who knows Zhu Di best besides Zhang Yu.

So Zhang Wu put on the armor of King Yan and ordered someone to repair his beard, striving to be as similar as His Royal Highness's beard, he rode out of the city, don't you say, I really can't see if this is really Zhu Di from a distance.

Sheng Yong watched from afar as the gate of Xuzhou City opened and walked out of a general, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the style of the armor from a distance was exactly the same as Zhu Di's, but the last time Sheng Yong Tiexuan was deceived, no one knew whether the real Yan King in front of him was not.

However, judging from the two characteristics of armor style and leading soldiers, this is indeed like the style of Yanwang Zhu Di.

Sheng Yong still had doubts in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had to try it to know if it was true or not.

"Array!"

Sheng Yong gave an order, and the southern army began to line up, Zhang Wu squinted his eyes for a long time and shook his head.

In Zhang Wu's opinion, although Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong are indeed powerful and stubbornly blocked the advance of the Northern Army, in the end, these people are still the imperial army that has been absent from the battle array for a long time, and this array is full of loopholes.

Originally, the shield soldier was in the money to block the cavalry attack, and the point was that it must be compact, and the shield soldier must be the strongest in the army to serve.

However, Zhang Wu saw that the imperial army was at the forefront, and more than half of the shield soldiers used to resist the impact of the cavalry could meet the standard of strength, and there was also a gap in the distance between the shields.

If the cavalry rushed through these gaps, the shield soldiers in the front row would collapse in an instant like a thousand-mile dam that had broken its embankment.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Sheng Yong, Sheng Yong also understands the shortcomings of the military formation, in fact, this is completely the soldier's pot, and it has nothing to do with him, a general, because most of these soldiers are collected by the imperial court and then sent out.

Those defeated soldiers themselves have a kind of fear in the face of the northern army, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have always been not very well trained and not very strong, even if Sheng Yong knows the defects of the imperial court's soldiers and horses, he has to bite the bullet.

Zhang Wu ordered the cavalry to divide into three lines, and a frontal assault was essential, while the cavalry on both wings bypassed the shield soldiers.

At the sound of an order, the three cavalry set out in unison, and saw that the three cavalry were like three big snakes, advancing towards the fat and beautiful meat in front of them.

Sheng Yong drew his sword and ordered: "The generals will obey the order!" Get ready for archery! ”

After the cavalry led by Zhang Wu entered the shooting range, the imperial army began to release arrows!

The arrows rained down, Zhang Wu waved the weapon in his hand to resist the arrows, and the soldiers around him kept falling from their horses with arrows.

For the cavalry on both wings, Sheng Yong naturally also gave a way to deal with it, only to see him brandishing the sword in his hand and giving the order again, and two cavalry teams also rushed out from the two wings of the imperial army and rushed towards the enemy.

Sheng Yong's arrangement is accurate, the other party is all cavalry, there are not many cavalry on his side, most of the forces are mainly gathered in the middle, using arrows and rope muskets to resist, how many can be killed.

But alas, he overestimated the two teams of cavalry under his command.

Compared with the cavalry of the Southern Army and the cavalry of the Northern Army, it is like the stars are better than the bright moon, and as soon as the four teams of cavalry fight, the advantages and disadvantages are instantly revealed.

Cavalry combat is actually a matter of an instant, after riding a horse and fighting with the first person, you will instantly come to the front of the second person, and the speed of this second sword will determine whether the enemy dies or dies yourself.

The Northern Army is a team that fights against the Yuan people on the grassland all the year round, and the Yuan people are still more convincing when it comes to the strength of the cavalry in the world.

The cavalry of the imperial court is not untrained, mainly because there are not many in the southern plains, and the role that cavalry can play in the south is not as huge as the role played in the northern plains.

Therefore, this strange cavalry can't be trained first, and secondly, it is not as powerful as the cavalry-based northern army, so you don't have to think about it to know that the southern cavalry lost.

The terrifying thing about the cavalry is that it is fast and powerful, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the left and right flanks of the imperial army.

Sheng Yong didn't expect the cavalry of the imperial court to be so useless, even if it was not as strong as the cavalry of the Northern Army, even if you could resist for a while?

Now the question was whether to spread the forces on the flanks, or whether to continue to put all the forces in the middle to deal with the cavalry led by King Yan himself.

Sheng Yong didn't have so much time to think about it, he gave his judgment very quickly, and immediately dispersed his forces to the two wings to resist the cavalry impact from the two wings, and there were shield soldiers on the front to resist for a while.
