From beggar to emperor: I am not Zhu Yuanzhang

Huangzhou is located at the junction of the two major vassal towns of Wuchang and Huainan. Its geographical location is very important. Whoever controls Huangzhou will have an advantage. Both Yang Xingmi and Du Hong must be well aware of this, so they will never Abandon this strategic location.

Du Hong sent out a large army to besiege Huangzhou with a clear purpose: to take Huangzhou back into his own hands. Wu Dao in the city was afraid that he would be liquidated by Du Hong after the city was broken. While guarding the isolated city, he sent people to urge Yang Xingmi to send troops quickly.

If Yang Xingmi wants to further consolidate his territory, Huangzhou must be captured, otherwise it will become his biggest weakness, and Du Hong can threaten his hinterland anytime and anywhere.

After an emergency meeting to discuss, Yang Xingmi decided to send troops to Huangzhou and made a head-on fight with Du Hong.

Du Hong was a fierce bandit entrenched in Hubei, and his fighting ability was no worse than that of Sun Ru. The decisive battle with him should not be taken carelessly, so Yang Xingmi attached great importance to this battle.

The most critical issue is the selection of commander-in-chief.

Which troops to send and who to send to take charge are all difficult questions that need to be considered.

If we look back at the usual situation, Tian Kai's Crouching Tiger Battalion would be sent to fight as a rule, and they would be invincible. Yang Xingmi had never been disappointed. However, because the spies he sent out recently kept coming back with negative news about Tian Kai, he began to feel shaken.

His intuition told him that Tian Kai had already begun to form gangs and recruit troops. He had already taken away half of the people from Crouching Tiger Camp. This was also the reason why Yang Xingmi started again to form Black Cloud City.

He will not send Tian Kai to fight again, it is time to practice his Heiyundu.

Heiyundu has not fought a tough battle since its formation. In order to test the combat effectiveness of this special operations force, Yang Xingmi decided not to use the Crouching Tiger Camp this time, with Heiyundu as the main force.

After making up his mind, he called Xu Wen, the commander of Heiyundu, and his uncle Zhu Yanshou to discuss sending troops to Huangzhou.

Hearing that Heiyundu would be used to send troops to Huangzhou to fight Du Hong, Xu Wen was a little uneasy. He handed over his hands and said: "Brother, I just took over Heiyundu and I am still in the internship period. At this time, I am sending troops to fight against Du Hong. I feel a little worried." Bottom."

Yang Xingmi comforted him: "Thirteenth brother, don't worry. Firstly, I believe in your ability. Secondly, I will send Zhu Yanshou to assist you. In addition, I will send Tao Ya and Liu Wei to cooperate with you on the left and right wings. You can do your best." Don’t worry.”

This is what the boss said. If he doesn't express his determination cheerfully, there is something wrong with his work attitude.

Xu Wen was also a smart man. He immediately stood up and patted his chest and promised: "Brother, don't worry, Heiyundu will definitely fight a good fight in this battle."

"Okay, that's what I want from you. Don't worry. I'm waiting for your good news." Yang Xingmi patted Xu Wen on the shoulder.

After the meeting, Yang Xingmi officially ordered Heiyundu to go to Huangzhou, with Xu Wen as the commander-in-chief and Zhu Yanshou as the supervisor. In addition, Tao Ya and Liu Wei were sent to lead 5000 people each from the left and right wings to cooperate in the battle. The three armies rushed towards Huangzhou with great momentum.

Although Xu Wen was a low-key person, he did have a ruthless spirit in leading the troops, especially when Yang Xingmi entrusted him with the most elite Heiyun. If he couldn't win a beautiful victory, he would have no shame in going back to work.

This battle can only be won but not lost. This is the bottom line.

The three armies quickly arrived at the outskirts of Huangzhou. According to the pre-plan, Tao Ya and Liu Wei led troops to outflank Du Hong's camp from the left and right, while Xu Wen set up the Heiyundu camp at Du Hong's camp. Directly opposite the camp.

The sentries of Duhong's army soon discovered a black camp that had appeared overnight at the foot of the opposite mountain.

Yes, you read that right, the black camp, from the tents to the flags, horses, and observation towers are all black. This strange troop attracted Du Hong's attention. He climbed up to the observation tower to take a look, wondering if this was the legendary Black Cloud City newly formed by Yang Xingmi?

Du Hong had heard about this unit, but had never seen its combat effectiveness with his own eyes. Today's opportunity came.

At the pre-war mobilization meeting, Xu Wen came up with an incentive policy. Anyone who killed an enemy general would be rewarded with one tael of silver. Anyone who killed an enemy general would be rewarded with [-] taels of silver. Anyone who killed or captured Du Hong would be rewarded with a hundred silver coins. two.

This is an incentive plan, and of course a punishment plan. No nonsense, just one sentence:

Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed without mercy!

Even if you are one of the best warriors in the world, if you escape from battle, Xu Wen will not hesitate to engage in military law.

There are rewards and punishments, and rewards and punishments are clear. This can inspire the strongest combat effectiveness.

Tens of thousands of troops from both sides faced off outside Huangzhou City. The swords were at war and a decisive battle was imminent.

When Wu Tao saw this formation, he knew it was not a good thing. He was afraid that if Huangzhou could not hold on, Du Hong would settle the accounts with him. In order to avoid Du Hong's evil gaze, Wu Tao repeatedly wrote to Yang Xingmi and asked Yang Xingmi to transfer him anywhere.

Yang Xingmi agreed to his request, and soon appointed Zhu Yanshou as the acting governor of Huangzhou to take charge of Huangzhou to deal with Du Hong.

After Wu Tao ran away, Huangzhou became a battlefield where Yang Xingmi and Du Hong directly confronted each other, and the two sides had no room for maneuver.

At this time, Du Hong relied on his own strong troops and horses, and was very arrogant. He didn't even pay attention to Yang Xingmi's black cloud. What about special operations forces and invincibility? Today I will teach you a lesson and let you see. Let’s see who is invincible.

Du Hong decided to take advantage of Xu Wen and Zhu Yanshou's arrival from afar and launch a sudden attack while their foothold was not stable, in an attempt to catch them off guard.

The arrogant Du Hong made no secret of his purpose. He launched a breakthrough in the middle without warning and commanded the army to attack the Chinese army's tent in Heiyundu. Facing Du Hong's fierce offensive, Xu Wen did not panic and ordered Zhu Yanshou to lead Heiyundu to fight.

Zhu Yanshou is also a ruthless person. If it were anyone else, he would definitely shrink the defense line, strengthen defense, and first repel Du Hong's attack. But Zhu Yanshou didn't think so. This was to destroy his own prestige and boost the ambition of others. He would act like a coward as soon as the war started. This was not Zhu Yanshou's style.

So, Zhu Yanshou ordered a counterattack. You read that right, it was a counterattack.

The black clouds swept in like a black whirlwind, and the sky and the earth were dim. Du Hong's men and horses were dumbfounded.

Before they could react, they were knocked over by Heiyundu's huge impact. This menacing murderous intent made Du Hong's men shudder, and their faces turned pale with fear.

There was no suspense about the outcome of this battle. Liu Wei and Tao Ya didn't even need to take action. Hei Yundu put his skills to the test and defeated Du Hong's army, killing more than 5000 people and injuring countless others.

When Du Hong saw this situation, he became anxious. If he continued to fight like this, he would lose all his wealth. No, we can't fight anymore. He must retreat. He must retreat quickly.

Du Hong's troops, who received the order to retreat, retreated one after another, and the first battle between the two sides came to an end.

Du Hong, who had learned Heiyundu's methods, did not dare to fight easily anymore. He hung up his no-fight card for many days in a row and stayed at home, thinking hard about countermeasures.

After thinking about it, there was no good way. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly thought of a person. Maybe this person could help him. How about trying his luck?
