Zhen Wu smiled and whispered to Zhang Yu: "I didn't expect Zhu Neng and the others to give us a chance to retreat."

Zhang Yu also nodded with a smile.

Arrogance is taboo in the barracks.

Afterwards, the two of them listened to the soldiers chatting, and they even talked about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Several people were excitedly discussing how to celebrate the festival, how to play, and how to call a few little ladies.

Hearing this, Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu's eyes showed ecstasy.

Zhang Yu immediately dipped his fingers in the wine, and wrote 'Xiong County can be attacked' on the table. Zhen Wu wiped it off with one hand after seeing it, and nodded solemnly to Zhang Yu.

Some things must be seen with your own eyes, such as the state, military discipline, and mentality of the soldiers in Xiongxian County. These things cannot be seen in military newspapers, and fighting is not like playing chess. The rules took one of their pawns, because when the two armies confront each other, even if they are at a dead end, if their morale is high, they can still win heartily.

Although these things sound very mysterious, but in real wars, it is often these things that affect the outcome.

Now that Zhen and Wu have heard the conversation between the Xiongxian soldiers, it is obvious that the other party has careless intentions and is not ready for a bloody battle.

The restaurant is not a place to talk. After a brief exchange between Zhen and Wu, they each began to listen to the opinions of the people around them. After eating, the two wandered around the city for a while, focusing on each After the demeanor of the soldiers, the two looked at the time, and then went out through another city gate and returned to Zhuozhou City.

After they returned to Zhuozhou City all the way, neither of them was delayed, and went directly to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was a little surprised by their outfits, but after hearing that they secretly checked Xiong County, Zhu Di immediately looked at it squarely, and quickly asked, "How is the situation in Xiong County? Do you see if we have a chance?"

Zhen Wu excitedly said: "Yes, and the chance is great. Although Yang Song arranged the defense of the entire Xiongxian County to be impeccable, all the soldiers are arrogant and have loose discipline. As long as they fight bloody battles..."

Having said that, Zhen Wu suddenly came to his senses, glanced at Zhang Yu, and said with a smile, "You should talk about it."

This trip to Xiong County was proposed by Zhang Yu. If Zhen Wu said that he was very important, it would be inappropriate to do so. Although Zhang Yu may not care, Zhen Wu can't do it either. After all, in the communication between people, there are often gaps accumulated because of some small things.

Zhang Yu smiled and shook his head angrily. He understood what Zhen Wu meant, and felt that Zhen Wu was a bit suspicious, but Zhen Wu's actions really made him feel a lot better. He only said that Zhen Wu was open and bright, and he was a good friend .

Afterwards, Zhang Yu told Zhu Di what they heard and saw in Xiong County.

Zhu Di fell into deep thought.

At this time, Zhang Yu said something surprising: "We have been resting in Zhuozhou for a few days, and it is time to go south to attack. Yang Song and Pan Zhong are now guarding our way to the south. If we don't capture them, why leave them? In a word, stop I will wait for those who pass by, and kill without mercy."

There was endless sharpness in his tone, as if he was unstoppable.

Zhen Wu looked at Zhang Yu in surprise, is this the pattern? !

To know the current situation, there are Zhending Geng Bingwen's 30 troops in the west, and Xu Kai's [-] troops in the east.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yu never seemed to be thinking about how to defend these two routes of soldiers and horses. He was still thinking about how to go south and fight to Nanjing City.

Defense?

Do not!

To attack!

This seems to be the courage and breadth of mind that a general should have.

Zhen Wuxin felt that since the start of the battle, there were only two endings, either Beiping City was captured by the imperial court, or Nanjing City was defeated by them, there was no third possibility.

If the generals don't have the belief that they will break the city of Nanjing, how can the soldiers be brave and fearless.

Zhu Di seemed to be touched by Zhang Yu's words, and he looked at Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wu nodded and said: "Your Highness, we are going south to fight, and we are going to the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing City. Naturally, we can't just think about staying in Zhuozhou City, let alone Xu Kai throwing 2 people to Yang Song and Pan Zhong as vanguards. I would be too sorry for them if I didn’t eat them first.”

After a pause, Zhen Wu continued: "Looking at the overall situation of the war, the Southern Army not only has the backing of almost all the state capitals of Ming Dynasty, but also assembled an army of no less than 40 troops, while we only have Beiping and Yongping, and our soldiers and horses can only be buckled. The [-] troops squeezed out by Kou Suosuo seem to be vulnerable, but wars cannot always be based on the overall situation. We must strive for and accumulate more and more local victories, so as to affect the overall situation bit by bit. Victory, in which our army has more cavalry and has an advantage in speed, through this we can create a lot of local situations where we can fight more and fight less."

"For example, in our current situation, there are 9000 Yang Song in Xiongxian County and more than 7 Panzhong in Mozhou, but we have 10 people. Compared with this, our military strength is obviously superior. As long as we are fast enough , when Xu Kai can't react in time, take Yang Song and Pan Zhong, then Xu Kai's [-] people have nothing to do with our current war. A local battle."

After saying this, Zhu Di and Zhang Yu's eyes lit up.

This kind of global and local theory, although there are similar statements in military books, but Zhen Wu's theoretical statement is quite new, and Zhu Di himself is an expert in blitzkrieg, and he has deep and deep research on the application and study of the value of soldiers, surprise and surprise. He quickly figured out what Zhen Wu said.

After Zhu Di figured this out, the pressure brought by the unfavorable overall situation for a while also became much smaller.

But having said so much, there is still no specific implementation plan for how to fight Xiong County. Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "If you think it is possible to fight, then we will take the initiative to fight, but once we want to fight, we must quickly win Xiong County. Otherwise, the consequences will be huge. First, it will affect morale. Second, Xu Kai in Hejian will definitely increase his troops immediately, cutting off our thoughts of taking down Xiongxian County. The city cannot move."

Both Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu nodded, and Zhen Wu said again: "We understand, so we discussed it on the road, and our opinion is to attack at night."

Zhang Yu took over the words and said, "That's right, if we want to take Xiong County, the only thing we worry about is Pan Zhong, who is echoed by Mozhou, so we can divide our troops into two groups, one to block the reinforcements, and the other to gather all the remaining soldiers and horses. Attacking the city with all our strength, I thought that Xiong County would be taken overnight, but in such a situation, even if Xu Kai had an army of [-], he would not be able to support him, and it would not help."

Take the strong city of Xiong County overnight.

A little risky.

Once they are guarded by Xiong County, Xu Kai's [-] troops will probably be waiting for them.

Moreover, during this night, Pan Zhong's reinforcements from Mozhou had to be successfully stopped. If they couldn't be stopped, Pan Zhong's army would go to the city of Xiong County and attack Yang Song's troops inside and outside, and they would definitely lose.

Zhu Di was a little hesitant. This battle was a bit like a gamble, and he still put all his capital on it.

At this time, Zhang Yu threw out the last opportunity and said: "Your Highness, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, and the soldiers in Xiong County will be negligent because of the festival. As long as we take advantage of this opportunity to fight, we will surely succeed. Such a good opportunity , I hope His Highness will think carefully about it."

Moon Festival.

Zhu Di recalled in his mind what Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu had just said about Xiong County, and thought of the arrogance of Xiong County soldiers and their anticipation for the festival, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

As the old saying goes, an opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come again.

He was never a hesitant person, so he immediately said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's fight. After you two go down, don't make a fuss about it. Just ask someone to go to Xincheng to inform Zhu Neng, and let him do something in Xincheng." To give the illusion that we are preparing for the festival, loosen the outside and tighten the inside to paralyze Yang Song, and when Mid-Autumn Festival night, I will destroy Xiong County."

"Yes."

Zhen Wu and the two clasped their fists in response.

After the two went out, Zhen Wu looked at the sky, and the fighting spirit slowly rose from his body. After Zhang Yu felt it, he smiled slightly, and his heart was also surging.

Because Zhang Yu knows that if he just blindly defends, several armies will surely break through Beiping City. If he wants to survive, he can only break through one by one. Victory can support the victory of a big battle.

……

Chapter 261 - August [-]th Breaks the Southern Army

The sun rises and the sun sets, as if it is only a blink of an eye, and the [-]th day of the eighth month will come quietly.

Compared with the festive atmosphere in Xiongxian County, Zhuozhou City seems to be a lot more chilled out. Even under this chilling, the people in the city are also very careful, such as admiring the moon, eating moon cakes and other festive operations, some are simple, just ask for this The war can end as soon as possible.

Some old people often sigh at home these days, the days of peace have not passed long, why is it here again.

The population of the entire Hebei region has not slowed down, and if the fight continues, the population will not be completely wiped out.

When the old man thought of this, he couldn't help shaking his head. When he was young, he had seen hundreds of miles of villages with no one in them, thousands of hectares of fertile fields left uncultivated, and the land was left in vain.

Anyone who saw that scene would regret it.

The reason for that situation is the continuous war.

Soldiers in armor hurried past on the street, orderers rushed to the four directions one by one, and the sound of horseshoes was like drums of war, beating in everyone's heart.

It seemed to be getting dark.

At this moment, Zhu Di summoned all the generals to sit in the conference room, announcing the military operation to attack Xiong County tonight.

Beside him is a box of mooncakes.

Zhu Di gently picked up one of them, and everyone's eyes fell on the mooncake. They looked at it, and on this Mid-Autumn Festival, their eyes seemed to be filled with the scene of a family reunion and well-being in Beiping.

But the next moment, Zhu Di dropped the mooncake heavily on the ground.

He stood up with a sullen face, pointed to the box of mooncakes, and asked one after another: "Want to eat? Who dares to eat? Can I eat again?!"

Everyone didn't know what Zhu Di was going to do, and no one dared to answer.

Zhu Di suddenly raised his voice and said: "Don't dare to eat it, and you can't eat it. Now Yang Song's soldiers and horses are right in front of you, followed by Pan Zhong and Xu Kai. The soldiers' peak is pointing directly at Zhuozhou City. How do you eat this mooncake? How do you celebrate this festival? Today is the festival If we pass it, tomorrow we may not have tomorrow. You think I don’t know anyone who is homesick during this kind of festival. I miss home too, and I want to sit in the gazebo with my family and eat moon cakes. moon."

"But can we? Don't forget why we stayed in Zhuozhou City. We are going to fight to Nanjing City. How can we have leisure time to watch the moon? If you want to be lively, well, then wait until the day of success, Lao Tzu Throw a hilarious banquet to celebrate our deeds!"

"Your Highness, I am not homesick." Zhen Wu said aloud.

The other generals agreed again and again.

Zhu Di nodded and said: "It's good if you don't have it, but the soldiers under your command will inevitably think this way, but the soldiers in Xiong County are not immune to the vulgarity. And this is our opportunity to destroy the city. As long as our soldiers stop homesickness, fear death, and take advantage of the unpreparedness, we will destroy Hexiong County. When the time comes, we will drink his wine and eat his cakes. Why not be happy? "

As soon as this was said, all the generals except Zhen Wu and Zhang Yu were a little surprised.

Attacking Xiong County at night, Zhu Di is planning to attack Xiong County at night.

This idea immediately came to everyone's mind.

Afterwards, each of them became excited, and they joined forces with Zhu Di. First, they were too closely related to Zhu Di and the imperial court would not tolerate them. Second, they wanted to fight with Zhu Di to make a name for themselves in Nanjing City, instead of living in the small city of Zhuozhou. guard.

Zhu Neng stood up abruptly, and vowed: "Your Highness, Zhu Neng is willing to be the vanguard. Zhu Neng can guarantee that none of my soldiers will retreat, and the battle will never stop."

The others reacted, and they all stood up to fight, with excited expressions.

Zhu Di raised his hand and pressed it.

Only then did the excited generals survive.

Zhang Yu asked aloud at this time: "Your Highness, who will lead the army to stop Pan Zhong in Mozhou? How many people will he lead?"

When the other generals heard this, they immediately thought of Pan Zhong from Mozhou.

Everyone frowned, just like what they had discussed before, if Pan Zhong didn't solve it, the army would not be able to attack the city with one heart.

If it is just to reprimand Pan Zhong, then this task is too heavy. It is not even an exaggeration to say that it is tantamount to shouldering the burden of life and death for the army.

Successfully blocked it, the army was safe and could attack the city with peace of mind.

But if there is a slight negligence and Pan Zhong is allowed to support Xiong County, the army will be in crisis.

This task is not unimportant.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little eager to try, but just about to stand up and ask for a fight, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhen Wu who was seated on Zhu Di's right. After thinking for a while, he suppressed the thought of asking for a fight.

This is really not the time to show off.

Although he has great self-confidence, he knows that Zhen Wu is more secure than him.

It's not that he is modest, he followed Zhen Wu when he joined the army at the age of 12, from an ignorant rookie to a fighter who is now a handy leader in battle, and Zhen Wu's figure is indispensable in his growth.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that he learned half of his skills from Zhen Wu.

Therefore, he knew exactly how capable Zhen Wu was.

This kind of important battle naturally made Zhen Wulai more reassuring.

At this time Zhu Di was also selecting generals.

His eyes scrutinized everyone, and finally stopped unexpectedly on Zhen Wu's face in an unremarkable manner. He looked at Zhen Wu's face sitting indifferently, as if seeing Zhen Wu for the first time in a daze. The appearance of time.

At that time, Zhen Wu's face was full of self-confidence, as if no one in the world was like him, and he had an inexplicable sense of superiority, and it seemed that difficult things in the world were easy for him, but the funny thing was , He was in a mess at the time, life was difficult, and he didn't know where his confidence came from.

This caused Zhen Wu to have a very special temperament, quite different from the crowd.

However, after so many years, Zhen Wu has also changed. Not only has he become a father now, he has grown a beard, and these years of living and sleeping on the battlefield have also made his previously fair face turn a little yellow and a little rough.

But this change gave Zhen Wu even more stability, as if no matter how important the task was in his hands, he would handle it properly without any mistakes.

"Zhen Wu." Zhu Di said softly.

Zhen Wu got up and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you need to stop Pan Zhong?"

Zhen Wu, who had always been indifferent, suddenly grinned at this moment, and the smile was full of pride. He smiled, then quickly put away the smile, and said resolutely and loudly: "If there are five thousand soldiers and horses, Pan Zhong can be defeated, if there are [-] troops, Zhen Wu will definitely wipe out Pan Zhong."

Stop Pan Zhong?

block?

Ha ha!

Who is blocking whom?

Pan Zhong could stop several of his charges!

As soon as Zhen Wu's words fell, all the generals looked at Zhen Wu in surprise. The right guard was full of pride, and the rest of the people had expressions of admiration, and Zhu Di's eyes suddenly burst into a strong light.

This is Zhen Wu.

This is his number one general.

When others were worried about blocking Pan Zhong and making mistakes, Zhen Wu wanted to directly defeat or even wipe them out, and the strength Zhen Wu requested was only one-to-one with Pan Zhong.

Zhu Di laughed out loud, feeling that Zhen Wu's words were to his liking, and he asked Zhen Wu freely: "Do you have a plan in mind?"

Zhen Wu nodded. He had been thinking about this for the past two days, so even if Zhu Di didn't choose him, he would stand up and challenge Pan Zhong.

Zhu Di went on to say: "Tell me, what is the total annihilation method? If it is feasible, I will not move any of your soldiers and horses. You will have full power to command. You will destroy Pan Zhong for me in a single battle."
