Chapter 44 (Outside the Great War)

Ling Xiao and the others, seeing such a scene, thought: "King Yan has not yet ascended to the throne, but he is loved by so many people, it can be seen that he loves the people like a son and has won the hearts of the people."

Zhang Yu has always hated because of the tragic death of his father and mother, and he can't help but sigh at this time: "If every soldier can love the people like a son like the prince, how can there be injustice in the world, and why can't the people live and work in peace and contentment."

Zhu Di, with the support of Qiu Fu and others, checked the soldiers and said some words of encouragement, and everyone was even more excited, their faces were flushed with excitement, just waiting for the cannon to open the city, and this group of tigers and wolves went out of the city.

At this time, Sheng Yong outside the city, tonight always felt restless, felt that something big would happen, the previous time let the enemy soldiers to swindle the grain into the city, was already annoyed, several times to ask the enemy to scold the array, the city is still tall and free of battle cards.

Although there were many soldiers outside the city, even if there were enemy soldiers rushing to kill, he was still not at ease, and ordered to strengthen the guard in case of accidents, and it was late at night, and he still had no sleep, and he had not closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he had no sleepiness under the anxiety of tonight.

When he was about to pick up the military book on the table to study, he suddenly heard a few explosions and thunder, which was deafening, to be precise, it should be the sound of cannons, and he was so shocked that before he could get out of the camp tent, he heard a great chaos outside the camp, shouting to kill and shake the sky.

Sheng Yong immediately felt bad, and in a hurry, he was neatly dressed, holding a blade, and turned over on his horse. As soon as he didn't go far, he met the generals head-on, and one of the generals reported: "The marshal is not doing well, and suddenly the cannon rang out behind the camp, and three teams of men and horses entered the camp."

After all, Sheng Yong is the commander in the army, and when he saw the generals, he was extremely panicked, and shouted at the moment: "Don't panic, do you know how many people there are?"

A partial general replied: "I'm afraid there are no less than 100,000" Sheng Yong suddenly realized at this time: "They are using a combination of internal and external strategies, and they must not let Zhu Di's anti-thieves go out of the city, otherwise they will waste their previous achievements and follow me to watch the enemy's formation..."

As he spoke, Sheng Yong rushed to the city gate, with the red light not less than the light of the day, the soldiers of the two armies saw it clearly, only to see the gate of Dongchang open, and the two sides had been killed in a moment, and there were bursts of screams from the rear.

Seeing this, Sheng Yong immediately instructed everyone: "The enemy army is obviously prepared, and Zhu Di must not be allowed to escape, and those who catch Zhu Di, the king of Yan, will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold and sealed the marquis of 10,000 households..."

The soldiers, who had no intention of fighting and were greedy for life and afraid of death, heard that as long as they grasped the power and money of King Yan, they wished that King Yan at this time had fallen into their own hands, and they couldn't wait to leave their team to find Zhu Di's whereabouts.

Sure enough, there will be brave men under the public reward, and after a lot of effort, Sheng Yong got the news that "King Yan has escaped from the West Gate..."

As soon as he arrived at the West Gate, he saw that the soldiers of the other two gates were far from so numerous, and he saw that a group of men and horses had rushed to the center of the camp, and one of them was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who urged the horses to swing their guns and go straight to the crowd of men and horses.

The anxious people waiting in the city suddenly heard "bang, bang, bang...", several cannon shots came from outside the city, and they saw the signal shoot into the air and illuminate half of the sky. Everyone suppressed the excitement in their hearts, the city gate was wide open, and they rushed out of the city without rushing out of the city, and at the same time they saw the killing shouts of the enemy behind the enemy, and the generals were overjoyed to know that the reinforcements were coming.

The spirit shook and only hoped that they could immediately make peace with the reinforcements, and in a moment the people around them couldn't stop falling, and they didn't know if it was the enemy or their own people, Ling Xiao and the two dodged left and right, and they would only make a move as a last resort.

The two of them each rode a good horse, one left and one right to protect Zhu Di's side, when they saw the cruelty of the war, they sighed lightly in their hearts, and they actually felt compassion, "They are all flesh and blood, why are they ruthlessly destroyed by the war and deprived of their lives."

Suddenly, I saw that the enemy army rushed out of a veteran, and at the same time that person rushed out, countless soldiers poured out behind him, holding a nine-foot tiger head gun, stabbing left and right, and people kept falling, and the person who came was Sheng Yong, the commander of the Southern Army.

There was not much time, and the Yan army also rushed out of a general, he was wearing bright silver armor, wearing tiger head boots, and a red tasseled Mitsubishi gun fighting with the comers, only to hear Zhu Di shouting: "General, be careful..."

Zhang Yu squinted and saw that it was Qiu Fu, the general of the team, who was going to be a general, a soldier to a soldier, and the figure was constantly falling.

The soldiers who flocked to the two formations were endless, and suddenly heard a voice of "Catch the anti-thief Yan King Zhu Di has a heavy reward" I saw countless officers and soldiers killing Zhu Di, and the two Ling Xiao brothers, who were reluctant to make a move, were not easy to dodge when they saw this, so they had to make a hard shot, and the chests of the two of them were full of blood.

When Zhu Di was anxious, he saw a group of men and horses rushing out of the chaotic army, only to see a person in front of him, dressed in white robes and bright armor, holding an eight-foot green dragon glaive knife, really like Guan Gong in the world, he was invincible, everywhere he went, the enemy in front of him kept falling, he was really a tiger general.

After a short time, he killed Zhu Di in front of him, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, he said happily: "Lord Wang, you are fine, the enemy is outnumbered, follow me quickly"

Zhu Di saw that the person who came was as brave as this, took a closer look, and immediately showed joy and hurriedly said: "General Zhu has worked hard...... This person is Zhu Neng, the reinforcement general.

Zhu Neng, worthy of being a tiger general, made a tiger head bright silver spear, like a no-man's land, and fought a bloody way to protect Zhu Di to break through.

After all, the southern army has a large number of people, it is said that there are 300,000 horses and horses, and the Yan army is only half of it, if it were not for the Yan army's long-term fighting and bravery, I am afraid that it would have been defeated, so the southern army also has a great advantage in numbers.

After a while, both sides have killed red eyes, shouting to kill the whole world, when the companion fell, there was no time to take a look, the scene was shocking, from the dark night to the dawn of the sky, the corpses outside Dongchang City were all over the field, and the degree of tragedy can be seen.

Zhu Neng protected Zhu Di and broke through the layers of encirclement and rushed out, but how could the southern army give up and chase thirty miles away, Sheng Yong was worried that Zhu Di would set up an ambush in front, so he gave up.

After many months of hard work in the southern army, due to a moment of negligence, Zhu Di successfully broke through the siege, and all the previous efforts were abandoned, Sheng Yong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Could it be that it is the will of heaven."

Counting the casualties, he learned that several generals were killed, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, about sixty or seventy thousand, Sheng Yong couldn't help but gasp, regretted, and also realized the strength of the Yan army, and felt sorry for the soldiers who died in the battle.

Although it was a victory, it was a disastrous victory, and he cleaned up the battlefield and regained the lost ground, and then returned to Beijing to resume his life. Emperor Wen was furious, dismissed Sheng Yong from his post and sent him back to his hometown, until the Yan army went south again, which enabled Sheng Yong again.
