Chapter 62 The Battle of Zhengcunba
After defeating Chen Hui and crossing the river, the King of Yan learned that Li Jinglong had set up a camp at Zhengcunba. He immediately summoned his generals and decided not to return to Beiping for the time being, but to attack Li Jinglong's camp with all his strength.At the same time, cavalry was sent to contact Zhang Yuzhu Neng and other generals to join the army, striving to win a big victory and completely destroy the morale of the southern army.
"Li Jiujiang anoints Liang Shuzi. He has nothing to fear. If he attacks his camp and destroys his camp, he will flee in panic. The only ones to worry about are the brave and skilled fighters under his command."
Assigning a combat mission, the King of Yan ordered Shen Xuan, who led the forward army to attack, to defeat the enemy with one blow!
"Humble post obeys orders!"
Shen Xuan led 1 people under his command to march to Zhengcunba first.Duoyan Sanwei followed closely behind.After Yan Wang joined Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Xu Zhong and other generals, he also quickened his pace.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui came from Zhending City and vowed to defeat the Southern Army together with their father.
"it is good!"
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu who had obviously grown a lot, King Yan was in a good mood, and laughed with the generals under his command: "If you can't cut a jade, you can't make a weapon. The little tiger cub must be released to truly become a talent."
Hearing this, the generals had different thoughts.Zhang Yu has a strategy in his chest and doesn't speak easily.Zhu Neng didn't think too much about it, he just thought that King Yan was praising his son, so he echoed with a smile.Qiu Fu, Xu Zhong and the others did not know the King of Yan as well as Zhang Yu did, and they were not as careless as Zhu Neng. They secretly began to wonder if there was any extended meaning in King Yan's words.
I heard that the prince doesn't like the son, but prefers the king of Gaoyang County, but now it seems that it is not a lie.
But it was the crown prince who resisted the southern army's attack and defended Beiping, and it was King Yan himself who entrusted the task to the crown prince.
After much deliberation, I still can't think of a clue.
It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to guess what is in Zhu Di's mind.
Compared with working under King Yan, taking the salary of Emperor Jianwen should not be so laborious.The premise is to try to merge your own brain circuits with Zhu Yunqi, otherwise, if you get the salary, you will be spit blood by the emperor with a pit in his head.
Hearing their father's praise, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were very excited, and they waved their horsewhip even more vigorously, hoping to catch up with the forward team and enter the Southern Army's camp immediately.
Compared with the fighting spirit of the Yan Army, the atmosphere in the Southern Army camp was not very good.
Chen Hui, the governor who went to stop the Yan army, is back.His face was pale, his arm was injured, and more than 9000 of the [-] cavalry were missing. You don't need to ask to know what happened.
Li Jinglong's face was gloomy, and he slammed the table to punish Chen Hui.
According to Li Jinglong's thinking, he can put his own life first, because he is the chief general of the army and is of the utmost importance.
Others dare to learn to do it, absolutely not.
It is obvious that only state officials are allowed to set fire and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
Chen Hui was full of resentment and grievances and had nowhere to complain, given him so many people, did he really think he could stop Zhu Di?It's not bad to be able to bring these people back.
The generals in the tent spoke out to plead for Chen Hui.
"Yan Ni's army is approaching, and it is really unknown to kill the general at this time. If you don't let Chen Dudu guard the camp, Chen Dudu is grateful for the general army, and he will desperately repay it."
The person who said this was a trusted general of Li Jinglong. What is rare is that he has a good relationship with Qu Neng Shengyong and other generals.Seeing that Chen Hui was about to be questioned, everyone couldn't bear it, so they spoke to save Chen Hui's life.
Chen Hui was lucky enough to escape from Yan Jun's hands and survived, but he almost died in his own hands. He was very disappointed in Li Jinglong as the coach, and there was inevitably a bit of resentment in his heart.
He and Zhu Di are enemies, and it is only natural that Zhu Di wants to kill him.
But he was Li Jinglong's general, and he was ordered to stop the Yan army. Li Jinglong didn't tell him the route of the Yan army's return, and he didn't give him enough troops. As a result, he found the Yan army and fought desperately. Bringing back important information, but almost getting stabbed in the neck, even the best-tempered person will be angry.
No matter what he thought before the battle, he always fought the Yan army in a down-to-earth manner, and was honorably wounded.
Li Jinglong's behavior of not asking about merit but only asking about crimes not only planted a thorn in Chen Hui's heart, but also chilled many generals.
He competed with the generals under the city of Beiping, so that he missed a great opportunity to break the city.
Now there is another example of Chen Dudu. While many generals were disappointed with Li Jinglong, they inevitably doubted Emperor Jianwen who reused him.
People say that like attracts like, is such an emperor really worthy of allegiance?
In the end, Li Jinglong spared Chen Hui's life and ordered him to lead troops to guard the western camp.
The southern army set up nine camps at Zhengcunba. Once the Yan army came to attack, the place where Chen Hui was stationed would be very likely to suffer a frontal impact.
In other words, guarding here is no different from serving as cannon fodder.
Chen Hui didn't show a trace of resentment, but said to Li Jinglong with tears of gratitude: "I will definitely live up to the grace of Zong Rong not to kill me!"
After walking out of the tent, the expression on his face changed suddenly, the tears stopped flowing, and the circles around his eyes were no longer red. He called his confidants and rushed to the guarded camp immediately.
This battle must be a dead end, after seeing the fighting power of the Yan army and comparing it with Li Jinglong's stupidity, Chen Hui had an idea.
A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a capable minister seeks the master to vote for another.Emperor Jianwen favored Confucianism and treated military generals coldly, which has already made many people dissatisfied.
Although he was not a founding hero, Chen Hui also followed Ying Guogong Fu Youde out of the desert several times, conquering the north and the south.Li Jinglong was headstrong and incompetent, Chen Hui narrowly escaped death, he did not want to follow such a coach, and likewise, he did not want to work for the court that appointed Li Jinglong.
In short, Chen Dudu did not intend to continue to take the salary of Emperor Jianwen, he was determined to change jobs to work for King Yan.Regardless of uncle or nephew, they are all descendants of Emperor Hongwu anyway, and the person sitting on the throne is always surnamed Zhu.
Chen Hui was neither the first nor the last employee under Emperor Jianwen to quit.
But Chen Dudu's job-hopping played an important role in the next battle of Zhengcunba, and he also lost. Because of Chen Hui's defection, Li Jinglong lost faster and worse.
At the end of November, Shen Xuan led the forward troops to Zhengcunba.
In front of them were the nine battalions of the Southern Army, which were arranged in an orderly manner according to the law of war.
The southern army discovered Shen Xuan's army and immediately raised an alert.
The north wind blew up the battle flags of both sides, making a loud noise.
The war horse under Yan Jun's crotch snorted, shook its neck impatiently, stomped its front hooves on the snow, splashing condensed ice crystals.
Shen Xuan drew out the long knife, the bright light of the knife represented the signal of attack.
The Yan army blew the horn, the southern army beat the drums, and the desolate and ancient voice opened the prelude to the battle.
The hooves of the horses trod over, like the sound of thunder.
Like a sharp arrow, the Yan Army cavalry cut through the silver-white ground and rushed straight to the Southern Army camp.
"kill!"
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry charges not only brought shock to the enemy, but also the fear of death.
The Southern Army besieging Beiping was also not a weak brigade. Under the command of the chief officer, they formed a battle formation, raised their spears, and pointed the tip of the spear upwards, ready to fight.
The firecrackers also lined up. Although they did not master the three-stage firecracker shooting of the Yan army, they also had their own advantages against cavalry.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire, and a burst of gunpowder smoke rose from the frontal impact of the camp. Black iron balls fell from the sky and fell on the cavalry team. Several cavalrymen and horses immediately fell into a pool of blood.
The formation of the Yan army's charge was not disrupted, Shen Xuan and the two captains of Duoyan's three guards took the lead, and rushed to the front of the southern army in an instant.
The war horse neighed, accompanied by the rising blood and the howling of dying.
The long knife swung across, and I don't know whose life was taken away.
The cavalrymen of Duoyan's three guards charged into the formation, facing an enemy several times larger than themselves, there was no fear at all, only excitement on their faces.
The more people, the more leaders.
The more heads, the more cattle and sheep!
The more the merrier!
"For cattle and sheep, kill!"
The southern army still couldn't understand what the Mongols were shouting. They could only form formation again and again under the orders of the officers, and then were overwhelmed by the enemy again and again.
The cavalrymen under Shen Xuan's command were infected by the passion of the strong Mongolian men, and the whistles in their mouths also began to change, and finally became like wild animals.
On the grasslands in Saibei, wolves besieging their prey made such a sound.
His whole body was covered in blood, his face was ferocious, he charged bravely, and howled like wolves. In such a formation, the southern soldiers in the camp expressed that they couldn't bear it anymore. The one who was fighting with him was not a person, but a group of people. Beast!
In less than two quarters, the first camp was breached.
The Southern Army who was still alive turned around and fled. The Yan Army took advantage of the victory and pursued, roaring towards the Southern Army in the second camp.
It was Chen Hui who was guarding here. He organized his soldiers to form a battle formation, but he did not resist at all. He just put on a show and surrendered directly when the Yan army attacked.
Surrender?
Then don't fight.
Shen Xuan ordered the last team to gather up the Southern Army, swiped his sword, and continued to attack the next camp.
Who is leading this underdog team?Don't think about it, it's definitely Meng Twelve Lang.
With his force value, he can still deal with infantry combat, but Ma Zhan is really a bit difficult to be human.
He does need military exploits, but he also needs to save his life.Life is gone, what else do you want to do?
After death, Ai Rong can indeed hide his descendants, but the point is, doesn't he have no descendants?
Not now, and never will be.
Chen Hui was very surprised to see Meng Qianshi who was still not very mighty in armor.
King Yan's subordinates are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and such an inconspicuous soldier can charge his horse, it must be extraordinary skill!
The battle by the Luan River and the scene of the cavalry charging into the formation caused Dudu Chen to have a wrong perception and miscalculated the force value of a certain fox.Chen Dudu, who has been smart for half his life, never thought at all that a fox mixed with wolves is still a fox, even if it is taken into the den by the wolf leader and dragged to his own territory.
Foxes never rely on well-developed muscles, but wisdom.
When Meng Qian gathered the defeated and surrendered southern army, Shen Xuan had already led the army to capture four camps.
The cavalrymen of the Yan army went crazy, their strength seemed to be inexhaustible, they just wanted to kill all the people in front of them, and take down all the camps of the southern army!
When the fifth camp was attacked, King Yan's large troops also arrived. Seeing the situation of the battle, King Yan made a decisive decision, no matter what time it took to rush forward!
King Yan went out to fight in person, advancing along the path opened by the vanguard.When passing by the camp guarded by Chen Hui, Dudu Chen, who had decided to quit, took the initiative to point out the location of Li Jinglong's central army to King Yan.
"The Chinese army has two battalions of guards. If you want to take down the Chinese army, you can try to make it move, and then use the cavalry to attack from left to right."
The king of Yan accepted Chen Hui's suggestion, and immediately sent people to catch up with Shen Xuan, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to clamor loudly, saying that he had arrived here and was personally leading the troops into the battle.
San Bao, who followed King Yan to fight, took the initiative to ask for orders, and Meng Qinghe, as Yanshan's defender, was also duty-bound.The two jumped on their horses and went straight to catch up with the forward.Chen Hui was appointed as the deputy general of the rear army and fought with King Yan.
Li Jinglong was really moved when he heard that King Yan rushed into the formation.
Although the four camps have been breached, but the main force is still there, if King Yan can be captured, then what's the point if all nine camps are breached?He must be the winner!
"President Rong think twice, this may be Yan Ni's plan!"
Li Jinglong couldn't listen to the advice of Qu Neng and others, and insisted on going his own way, ordering the Chinese army to fight.
Shen Xuan, who was in the formation, soon discovered that the position of the Chinese army had begun to move, so he entrusted Duoyan Sanwei with the task of continuing to attack the camp, and personally led some cavalry to the left flank of Li Jinglong's central army. Under the attack from both sides, the Chinese army was in chaos.
Under the desperate charge of Qu Neng, Sheng Yong and others, the rebel army gradually stabilized, and the two sides soon fell into a stalemate.
Stalemate means life for life.
Yan Jun's eyes were red, so why not the Southern Army?
The two sides were like wild beasts biting together, even though the blood flowed all over the ground, they still aimed at each other's throat, and they would not let go no matter what.
Meng Qinghe narrowly dodged a spear stabbed at the waist by a southern army, avoiding the vital point, but was still cut open.
The blood had coagulated within a few moments, and there was no pain at all.He swung the long knife in his hand vigorously, and if he didn't try his best, he would only die.
In an instant, another long spear pierced in front of him. The left and right sides were already surrounded by several southern soldiers, and it was impossible to escape.
Meng Qinghe clenched his teeth, fighting to be slashed and wounded by the Southern Army beside him, but also to fire the most deadly spear.He didn't understand, how did these people target him?Because I look weak and easy to bully?
Meng Twelve Lang got the truth.
Military officer, looks weak, what does it represent?Victory!
Meng Chen's affairs must be followed up.
At the most critical moment, a sharp arrow came through the air and shot straight into the eye socket of a southern soldier.Meng Qinghe had a chance to catch his breath, and cut a southern soldier's shoulder with all his strength. In an instant, Shen Xuan broke through the siege and rushed over, and the situation was reversed immediately.
"Follow me!"
The long knife in Shen Xuan's hand had been replaced with a long spear, and Meng Qinghe discovered that Shen Xuan seemed to be more accustomed to using a long spear than a long knife, and every blow could take the life of a southern soldier.
But Shen Xuan didn't have a bow and arrow right away, who saved his life before?
In another place, Yang Duo threw away the longbow. The arrows on the horse's back were exhausted, and the saber was cut to the edge. He simply grabbed the long spear that was stabbing at him. The southern army with the gun staggered, let go of his hands, and blinked. Suddenly, the gun head was turned upside down, and Nanjun was stabbed in the throat by his own weapon.
The blood spattered by the enemy made Yang Duo excited. After a long time in Nanjing, dealing with schemes all day was boring.Only by returning to the battlefield can he completely let go of his hands and feet.
"Yang Tongzhi, Commander Zhu has an order to attack the central army from the left flank!"
Yang Duo picked up another southern soldier and raised his voice amidst the blood, "obey the order!"
The scuffle continued until the evening. The Yan army broke through seven camps of the southern army in a row, but the Chinese army's camp that they wanted to take the most was still unable to attack.
King Yan and his generals used various methods, even the eunuch Sanbao and the transfer officer rushed up with weapons, but they couldn't help each other.
Who made Li Jinglong have more people?
Bringing back the army under King Ning, the Yan army is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
At night, the two sides had to call for gold and withdraw their troops.
The loss was too great, Li Jinglong didn't feel bad, but King Yan couldn't help it.
The two sides re-deployed at night, and King Yan made up his mind to take down the Southern Army camp tomorrow!If you can't win Li Jinglong, you will be in vain for his fame!
The injured Meng Qinghe was still taken to Shen Xuan's tent, and his armor was removed. The blood had already solidified the cotton coat on the wound.As soon as the tense nerves were relaxed, all the pain sensation came back, and even touching it hurt him so much that he grinned.
I looked down at the most serious part on my waist, and I couldn't apply the medicine unless I took off the cotton-padded clothes.
Ruthlessly, Meng Qinghe pulled a piece of his sleeve and bit it in his mouth. Before he could use much force, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Xuan walked into the tent and saw such a scene.
Meng Qinghe raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and half of the sleeve he was biting in his mouth fell off.
Shen Xuan put down the wound medicine and cloth strips he had taken from Dr. Zhao, and after cleaning his hands, he bent down to check Meng Qinghe's injuries, and frowned unconsciously.
"command?"
"do not move."
Shen Xuan tried to press the edge of the wound, and immediately a cold hiss came from his ear.
"It hurts?"
"It's okay." After the words came out, Meng Qinghe wanted to slap himself, what's okay, can you die if you don't try to be brave? !
"to beat."
The wet cloth strip soaked the condensed cloth on the wound bit by bit, and Meng Qinghe burst into tears again.
It hurts, I injured my shoulder before, and it didn't hurt so much when I treated the wound!This is really killing people!
There was a sound of inhalation after another, and Shen Xuan frowned even more tightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
In the end, Meng Twelve Lang almost fainted. It was good to be dizzy, but no matter whether his eyes were dark or stars appeared, he just couldn't faint.
With a wry smile, too much willpower may not be a good thing.
Meng Qinghe closed his eyes tightly, the cold back of his hand suddenly brushed against his cheek, and pinched his chin with callused fingertips.
A warm, soft touch on the lips, familiar and strange.
Meng Qinghe opened his eyes suddenly, and a pair of black pupils burst into his eyes suddenly.
"command?"
The voice of uncertainty was quickly blocked back, and there was a roar in my mind.
Surprised Meng Qinghe forgot where he was, and also forgot that Shen Xuan was treating his wound, until another tearing pain came from his waist, and Shen Xuan had already held the blood-stained cloth in his hand.
Shen Xuan straightened up, scraped his lower lip with his thumb, and his fingertips were stained bright red.
His black eyes met the culprit, Meng grinned and turned his head uncomfortably.
He didn't really want to bite. When the wound hurts, it was a completely unconscious instinctive reaction.
"Commander, the humble position was not intentional."
"..."
"Why don't you do it again? I swear, I won't bite this time."
"..."
"It's really not good, you bite it back?"
Meng Twelve Lang was cautious, and Commander Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, licked his lips, and picked up the medicine bottle when the opponent's heartbeat soared, "Apply the medicine."
Looking at Shen Xuan, and then at the medicine bottle, Meng Qinghe tentatively asked, "You do it yourself?"
Commander Shen raised one eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, which was extraordinarily attractive.
In Meng Twelve Lang's eyes, it was really scary.
If you are taken advantage of, you have to see him and beat him once. Now, isn't he going to destroy himself humanely?
"What's the matter?" Shen Xuan calmed down, with a gentle face like a gentleman, "Don't be afraid, it's just medicine, it won't hurt too much."
The hairs all over Meng Qinghe's body stood on end, looking at Shen Xuan, finally gritted his teeth and spread his hands, isn't it just to take the medicine?bring it on!
In the Zhengcunba camp, Li Jinglong recalled the battle situation during the day, and his heart was still pounding for a while.
Unlike the battle-hardened Zhu Di, it was the first time Li Jinglong faced such a brutal fight. Compared with this, the battle under the walls of Beiping was nothing at all.
Generals such as Qu Neng and Sheng Yong suggested to gather a large army to fight fiercely with the Yan army tomorrow, and at the same time send out a cavalry to attack Yongping.King Ning was held hostage by King Yan. If he attacked Yongping at this time, even if he couldn't win, it would still be able to distract King Yan and buy time for the army.
"Although Yan Ni's men are brave, their numbers are limited. Forcing them to divide their forces can help the situation."
What Sheng Yong didn't say clearly was that judging from the current situation, it was impossible to defeat King Yan with his own strength.The only way is to find a way to procrastinate and form a confrontational situation, and wait until the imperial court sends a large army to reinforce it, and then fight a decisive battle with the Yan army.
In any case, Emperor Jianwen was orthodox in the world, and with an edict of rebellion, he would surely be able to gather more troops, and Zhu Di would be exhausted with crowd tactics.
What's more, it is not that there are no available generals in the imperial court. If Wei Guogong or Wu Dinghou were to command, the city of Beiping would have been destroyed long ago.Even if the city is not destroyed, the battle situation will not be corrupted to this point.
Li Jinglong didn't say whether he agrees or disagrees, he just said to think about it again,
The generals had no choice but to retreat.
Look at each other and sigh, the coach is mediocre and incompetent, what can be done.
What the generals never expected was that Li Jinglong was not only incompetent, but also shameless far beyond imagination.
As the commander in chief, he unexpectedly left hundreds of thousands of troops behind, packed up his baggage and fled south overnight.
The next day, when the Yan army attacked the camp again with drums, the generals realized that the coach was gone!
What makes people speechless is that Li Jinglong did not forget to take the handsome seal with him when he ran away.If the commander-in-chief is still there, even if Li Jinglong runs away, he can still use the commander and command to order the three armies to stabilize their position.
But the commander-in-chief is gone, and no one can replace Li Jinglong to issue orders. Now, the whole army is in chaos.
Whether it was Zhengcunba's big camp or the nine fortresses outside Beiping City, they were all blown up.
Although they don't know why the southern army bombed the camp, the Yan army will never let go of such a great opportunity.When King Yan attacked, the defenders in Beiping also rushed out together, and the southern army was defeated immediately.
The coach has already run away, so what are they still trying to do?
Without the will to fight, there is no way to fight a battle. The hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant, and they could only be defeated like a mountain, and everyone ran together.
In such a predicament, the generals such as Qu Neng and Sheng Yong were powerless to fight desperately, so they could only follow the army all the way to the south to break through, let's run out first and then talk.
Yan Jun chased behind the Southern Army all the way, harvested millions of dans of military rations, more than [-] war horses, and captured countless Southern Army troops.
Li Jinglong, who escaped to Dezhou, saved his life, but faced another problem. How should he explain to the court such a big defeat?
Geng Bingwen defended Zhending City, and now they are all idle at home. He lost 50 troops, and Beiping City was not captured. Zhending Hejian and other places were occupied by the Yan army. would easily let him go.
Li Jinglong didn't want to be accused of defeating the army and be disgusted by Emperor Jianwen. After much deliberation, he finally thought of a way. He immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital as soon as possible.
Whether he can escape this disaster depends on this person.
Li Jinglong wrote the letter to none other than Huang Zicheng, a confidant of Emperor Jianwen and a Hanlin scholar.
At the beginning, Huang Zicheng recommended him to replace Geng Bingwen as the commander of the army. If he was defeated and accused, Huang Zicheng would not be able to run away.
Not for him, but for himself, Huang Zicheng has to find a way to fight!
Being able to come up with this method shows that Li Jinglong is not stupid.It's a pity that his ingenuity was not used on Zhu Di, but he was used to deal with Emperor Jianwen.
Emperor Jianwen, who was already full of tricks, was destined to be tricked again by his confidants and his generals.
What a pity, what a pity!
"Li Jiujiang anoints Liang Shuzi. He has nothing to fear. If he attacks his camp and destroys his camp, he will flee in panic. The only ones to worry about are the brave and skilled fighters under his command."
Assigning a combat mission, the King of Yan ordered Shen Xuan, who led the forward army to attack, to defeat the enemy with one blow!

The Yan army blew the horn, the southern army beat the drums, and the desolate and ancient voice opened the prelude to the battle.
The hooves of the horses trod over, like the sound of thunder.
Like a sharp arrow, the Yan Army cavalry cut through the silver-white ground and rushed straight to the Southern Army camp.
"kill!"
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry charges not only brought shock to the enemy, but also the fear of death.
The Southern Army besieging Beiping was also not a weak brigade. Under the command of the chief officer, they formed a battle formation, raised their spears, and pointed the tip of the spear upwards, ready to fight.
The firecrackers also lined up. Although they did not master the three-stage firecracker shooting of the Yan army, they also had their own advantages against cavalry.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire, and a burst of gunpowder smoke rose from the frontal impact of the camp. Black iron balls fell from the sky and fell on the cavalry team. Several cavalrymen and horses immediately fell into a pool of blood.
The formation of the Yan army's charge was not disrupted, Shen Xuan and the two captains of Duoyan's three guards took the lead, and rushed to the front of the southern army in an instant.
The war horse neighed, accompanied by the rising blood and the howling of dying.
The long knife swung across, and I don't know whose life was taken away.
The cavalrymen of Duoyan's three guards charged into the formation, facing an enemy several times larger than themselves, there was no fear at all, only excitement on their faces.
The more people, the more leaders.
The more heads, the more cattle and sheep!
The more the merrier!
"For cattle and sheep, kill!"
The southern army still couldn't understand what the Mongols were shouting. They could only form formation again and again under the orders of the officers, and then were overwhelmed by the enemy again and again.
The cavalrymen under Shen Xuan's command were infected by the passion of the strong Mongolian men, and the whistles in their mouths also began to change, and finally became like wild animals.
On the grasslands in Saibei, wolves besieging their prey made such a sound.
His whole body was covered in blood, his face was ferocious, he charged bravely, and howled like wolves. In such a formation, the southern soldiers in the camp expressed that they couldn't bear it anymore. The one who was fighting with him was not a person, but a group of people. Beast!
In less than two quarters, the first camp was breached.
The Southern Army who was still alive turned around and fled. The Yan Army took advantage of the victory and pursued, roaring towards the Southern Army in the second camp.
It was Chen Hui who was guarding here. He organized his soldiers to form a battle formation, but he did not resist at all. He just put on a show and surrendered directly when the Yan army attacked.
Surrender?
Then don't fight.
Shen Xuan ordered the last team to gather up the Southern Army, swiped his sword, and continued to attack the next camp.
Who is leading this underdog team?Don't think about it, it's definitely Meng Twelve Lang.
With his force value, he can still deal with infantry combat, but Ma Zhan is really a bit difficult to be human.
He does need military exploits, but he also needs to save his life.Life is gone, what else do you want to do?
After death, Ai Rong can indeed hide his descendants, but the point is, doesn't he have no descendants?
Not now, and never will be.
Chen Hui was very surprised to see Meng Qianshi who was still not very mighty in armor.
King Yan's subordinates are indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and such an inconspicuous soldier can charge his horse, it must be extraordinary skill!
The battle by the Luan River and the scene of the cavalry charging into the formation caused Dudu Chen to have a wrong perception and miscalculated the force value of a certain fox.Chen Dudu, who has been smart for half his life, never thought at all that a fox mixed with wolves is still a fox, even if it is taken into the den by the wolf leader and dragged to his own territory.
Foxes never rely on well-developed muscles, but wisdom.
When Meng Qian gathered the defeated and surrendered southern army, Shen Xuan had already led the army to capture four camps.
The cavalrymen of the Yan army went crazy, their strength seemed to be inexhaustible, they just wanted to kill all the people in front of them, and take down all the camps of the southern army!
When the fifth camp was attacked, King Yan's large troops also arrived. Seeing the situation of the battle, King Yan made a decisive decision, no matter what time it took to rush forward!
King Yan went out to fight in person, advancing along the path opened by the vanguard.When passing by the camp guarded by Chen Hui, Dudu Chen, who had decided to quit, took the initiative to point out the location of Li Jinglong's central army to King Yan.
"The Chinese army has two battalions of guards. If you want to take down the Chinese army, you can try to make it move, and then use the cavalry to attack from left to right."
The king of Yan accepted Chen Hui's suggestion, and immediately sent people to catch up with Shen Xuan, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to clamor loudly, saying that he had arrived here and was personally leading the troops into the battle.
San Bao, who followed King Yan to fight, took the initiative to ask for orders, and Meng Qinghe, as Yanshan's defender, was also duty-bound.The two jumped on their horses and went straight to catch up with the forward.Chen Hui was appointed as the deputy general of the rear army and fought with King Yan.
Li Jinglong was really moved when he heard that King Yan rushed into the formation.
Although the four camps have been breached, but the main force is still there, if King Yan can be captured, then what's the point if all nine camps are breached?He must be the winner!
"President Rong think twice, this may be Yan Ni's plan!"
Li Jinglong couldn't listen to the advice of Qu Neng and others, and insisted on going his own way, ordering the Chinese army to fight.
Shen Xuan, who was in the formation, soon discovered that the position of the Chinese army had begun to move, so he entrusted Duoyan Sanwei with the task of continuing to attack the camp, and personally led some cavalry to the left flank of Li Jinglong's central army. Under the attack from both sides, the Chinese army was in chaos.
Under the desperate charge of Qu Neng, Sheng Yong and others, the rebel army gradually stabilized, and the two sides soon fell into a stalemate.
Stalemate means life for life.
Yan Jun's eyes were red, so why not the Southern Army?
The two sides were like wild beasts biting together, even though the blood flowed all over the ground, they still aimed at each other's throat, and they would not let go no matter what.
Meng Qinghe narrowly dodged a spear stabbed at the waist by a southern army, avoiding the vital point, but was still cut open.
The blood had coagulated within a few moments, and there was no pain at all.He swung the long knife in his hand vigorously, and if he didn't try his best, he would only die.
In an instant, another long spear pierced in front of him. The left and right sides were already surrounded by several southern soldiers, and it was impossible to escape.
Meng Qinghe clenched his teeth, fighting to be slashed and wounded by the Southern Army beside him, but also to fire the most deadly spear.He didn't understand, how did these people target him?Because I look weak and easy to bully?
Meng Twelve Lang got the truth.
Military officer, looks weak, what does it represent?Victory!
Meng Chen's affairs must be followed up.
At the most critical moment, a sharp arrow came through the air and shot straight into the eye socket of a southern soldier.Meng Qinghe had a chance to catch his breath, and cut a southern soldier's shoulder with all his strength. In an instant, Shen Xuan broke through the siege and rushed over, and the situation was reversed immediately.
"Follow me!"
The long knife in Shen Xuan's hand had been replaced with a long spear, and Meng Qinghe discovered that Shen Xuan seemed to be more accustomed to using a long spear than a long knife, and every blow could take the life of a southern soldier.
But Shen Xuan didn't have a bow and arrow right away, who saved his life before?
In another place, Yang Duo threw away the longbow. The arrows on the horse's back were exhausted, and the saber was cut to the edge. He simply grabbed the long spear that was stabbing at him. The southern army with the gun staggered, let go of his hands, and blinked. Suddenly, the gun head was turned upside down, and Nanjun was stabbed in the throat by his own weapon.
The blood spattered by the enemy made Yang Duo excited. After a long time in Nanjing, dealing with schemes all day was boring.Only by returning to the battlefield can he completely let go of his hands and feet.
"Yang Tongzhi, Commander Zhu has an order to attack the central army from the left flank!"
Yang Duo picked up another southern soldier and raised his voice amidst the blood, "obey the order!"
The scuffle continued until the evening. The Yan army broke through seven camps of the southern army in a row, but the Chinese army's camp that they wanted to take the most was still unable to attack.
King Yan and his generals used various methods, even the eunuch Sanbao and the transfer officer rushed up with weapons, but they couldn't help each other.
Who made Li Jinglong have more people?
Bringing back the army under King Ning, the Yan army is still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
At night, the two sides had to call for gold and withdraw their troops.
The loss was too great, Li Jinglong didn't feel bad, but King Yan couldn't help it.
The two sides re-deployed at night, and King Yan made up his mind to take down the Southern Army camp tomorrow!If you can't win Li Jinglong, you will be in vain for his fame!
The injured Meng Qinghe was still taken to Shen Xuan's tent, and his armor was removed. The blood had already solidified the cotton coat on the wound.As soon as the tense nerves were relaxed, all the pain sensation came back, and even touching it hurt him so much that he grinned.
I looked down at the most serious part on my waist, and I couldn't apply the medicine unless I took off the cotton-padded clothes.
Ruthlessly, Meng Qinghe pulled a piece of his sleeve and bit it in his mouth. Before he could use much force, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and tears rolled down the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Xuan walked into the tent and saw such a scene.
Meng Qinghe raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and half of the sleeve he was biting in his mouth fell off.
Shen Xuan put down the wound medicine and cloth strips he had taken from Dr. Zhao, and after cleaning his hands, he bent down to check Meng Qinghe's injuries, and frowned unconsciously.
"command?"
"do not move."
Shen Xuan tried to press the edge of the wound, and immediately a cold hiss came from his ear.
"It hurts?"
"It's okay." After the words came out, Meng Qinghe wanted to slap himself, what's okay, can you die if you don't try to be brave? !
"to beat."
The wet cloth strip soaked the condensed cloth on the wound bit by bit, and Meng Qinghe burst into tears again.
It hurts, I injured my shoulder before, and it didn't hurt so much when I treated the wound!This is really killing people!
There was a sound of inhalation after another, and Shen Xuan frowned even more tightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
In the end, Meng Twelve Lang almost fainted. It was good to be dizzy, but no matter whether his eyes were dark or stars appeared, he just couldn't faint.
With a wry smile, too much willpower may not be a good thing.
Meng Qinghe closed his eyes tightly, the cold back of his hand suddenly brushed against his cheek, and pinched his chin with callused fingertips.
A warm, soft touch on the lips, familiar and strange.
Meng Qinghe opened his eyes suddenly, and a pair of black pupils burst into his eyes suddenly.
"command?"
The voice of uncertainty was quickly blocked back, and there was a roar in my mind.
Surprised Meng Qinghe forgot where he was, and also forgot that Shen Xuan was treating his wound, until another tearing pain came from his waist, and Shen Xuan had already held the blood-stained cloth in his hand.
Shen Xuan straightened up, scraped his lower lip with his thumb, and his fingertips were stained bright red.
His black eyes met the culprit, Meng grinned and turned his head uncomfortably.
He didn't really want to bite. When the wound hurts, it was a completely unconscious instinctive reaction.
"Commander, the humble position was not intentional."
"..."
"Why don't you do it again? I swear, I won't bite this time."
"..."
"It's really not good, you bite it back?"
Meng Twelve Lang was cautious, and Commander Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, licked his lips, and picked up the medicine bottle when the opponent's heartbeat soared, "Apply the medicine."
Looking at Shen Xuan, and then at the medicine bottle, Meng Qinghe tentatively asked, "You do it yourself?"
Commander Shen raised one eyebrow, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, which was extraordinarily attractive.
In Meng Twelve Lang's eyes, it was really scary.
If you are taken advantage of, you have to see him and beat him once. Now, isn't he going to destroy himself humanely?
"What's the matter?" Shen Xuan calmed down, with a gentle face like a gentleman, "Don't be afraid, it's just medicine, it won't hurt too much."
The hairs all over Meng Qinghe's body stood on end, looking at Shen Xuan, finally gritted his teeth and spread his hands, isn't it just to take the medicine?bring it on!
In the Zhengcunba camp, Li Jinglong recalled the battle situation during the day, and his heart was still pounding for a while.
Unlike the battle-hardened Zhu Di, it was the first time Li Jinglong faced such a brutal fight. Compared with this, the battle under the walls of Beiping was nothing at all.
Generals such as Qu Neng and Sheng Yong suggested to gather a large army to fight fiercely with the Yan army tomorrow, and at the same time send out a cavalry to attack Yongping.King Ning was held hostage by King Yan. If he attacked Yongping at this time, even if he couldn't win, it would still be able to distract King Yan and buy time for the army.
"Although Yan Ni's men are brave, their numbers are limited. Forcing them to divide their forces can help the situation."
What Sheng Yong didn't say clearly was that judging from the current situation, it was impossible to defeat King Yan with his own strength.The only way is to find a way to procrastinate and form a confrontational situation, and wait until the imperial court sends a large army to reinforce it, and then fight a decisive battle with the Yan army.
In any case, Emperor Jianwen was orthodox in the world, and with an edict of rebellion, he would surely be able to gather more troops, and Zhu Di would be exhausted with crowd tactics.
What's more, it is not that there are no available generals in the imperial court. If Wei Guogong or Wu Dinghou were to command, the city of Beiping would have been destroyed long ago.Even if the city is not destroyed, the battle situation will not be corrupted to this point.
Li Jinglong didn't say whether he agrees or disagrees, he just said to think about it again,
The generals had no choice but to retreat.
Look at each other and sigh, the coach is mediocre and incompetent, what can be done.
What the generals never expected was that Li Jinglong was not only incompetent, but also shameless far beyond imagination.
As the commander in chief, he unexpectedly left hundreds of thousands of troops behind, packed up his baggage and fled south overnight.
The next day, when the Yan army attacked the camp again with drums, the generals realized that the coach was gone!
What makes people speechless is that Li Jinglong did not forget to take the handsome seal with him when he ran away.If the commander-in-chief is still there, even if Li Jinglong runs away, he can still use the commander and command to order the three armies to stabilize their position.
But the commander-in-chief is gone, and no one can replace Li Jinglong to issue orders. Now, the whole army is in chaos.
Whether it was Zhengcunba's big camp or the nine fortresses outside Beiping City, they were all blown up.
Although they don't know why the southern army bombed the camp, the Yan army will never let go of such a great opportunity.When King Yan attacked, the defenders in Beiping also rushed out together, and the southern army was defeated immediately.
The coach has already run away, so what are they still trying to do?
Without the will to fight, there is no way to fight a battle. The hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed in an instant, and they could only be defeated like a mountain, and everyone ran together.
In such a predicament, the generals such as Qu Neng and Sheng Yong were powerless to fight desperately, so they could only follow the army all the way to the south to break through, let's run out first and then talk.
Yan Jun chased behind the Southern Army all the way, harvested millions of dans of military rations, more than [-] war horses, and captured countless Southern Army troops.
Li Jinglong, who escaped to Dezhou, saved his life, but faced another problem. How should he explain to the court such a big defeat?
Geng Bingwen defended Zhending City, and now they are all idle at home. He lost 50 troops, and Beiping City was not captured. Zhending Hejian and other places were occupied by the Yan army. would easily let him go.
Li Jinglong didn't want to be accused of defeating the army and be disgusted by Emperor Jianwen. After much deliberation, he finally thought of a way. He immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to the capital as soon as possible.
Whether he can escape this disaster depends on this person.
Li Jinglong wrote the letter to none other than Huang Zicheng, a confidant of Emperor Jianwen and a Hanlin scholar.
At the beginning, Huang Zicheng recommended him to replace Geng Bingwen as the commander of the army. If he was defeated and accused, Huang Zicheng would not be able to run away.
Not for him, but for himself, Huang Zicheng has to find a way to fight!
Being able to come up with this method shows that Li Jinglong is not stupid.It's a pity that his ingenuity was not used on Zhu Di, but he was used to deal with Emperor Jianwen.
Emperor Jianwen, who was already full of tricks, was destined to be tricked again by his confidants and his generals.
What a pity, what a pity!
