Seiwa

Zhu Di killed many people in his life, Tie Xuan was not the first, and will never be the last.Killing Tie Xuan was not only to express bad breath, but also to prove to the world that he will remove all stumbling blocks on the way forward, no matter how hard the stone is.

The blood in front of the king's tent was not dry yet, but the Yan army had pulled out the camp one after another amidst the sound of the horn, and the whole team assembled and began to advance to the next target.

Riding on the horse, with the wind blowing across his cheeks, Meng Qinghe looked back, everything in the camp became blurred.A trace of complexity flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.

Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, Tie Gong is worthy of admiration, and will eventually leave his name in history.

No matter what kind of reputation you bear, you still have to continue on your own path.

In mid-March, the Yan army defeated Xiao County, Chen Shu, the magistrate of the county, committed suicide and died for the country, and the commanders in the city and the county magistrates all surrendered to the King of Yan.

The King of Yan ordered Chen Shu to be buried generously, a warehouse was opened to release grain, and notices were posted around the city to appease the villagers.

Winning people's hearts and winning the name of benevolence and righteousness, King Yan is already very familiar with it.

Within three days, no one in the city insulted King Yan as a "rebellious minister", but praised King Yan for his benevolence.Even if there are stubborn ones, they can only hide in corners and talk to themselves, entertaining themselves.

Xiao County has fallen, and Xuzhou's door is wide open.

When Yan Wang's soldiers approached Xuzhou city, he was not in a hurry to attack the city. He first sent cavalry to cut off Xuzhou's food roads, and then sent his generals to lead troops to surround Xuzhou, and the people in the city were not allowed to go out to collect firewood.When they met those who sneaked out of the city, the people escorted them back to the city, and the soldiers arrested them all.Dare to resist?Then speak with a knife.

This plan seems crude, but Yan Jun has tried it repeatedly.

The Xuzhou defenders had limited food, the food roads were cut off, and the cavalry sent for help were also killed one after another. They did not want to be trapped in the city, so they had to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Even if you can't beat it, you have to fight.

If this continues, the morale and physical strength of the defenders will go from bad to worse, and they will starve to death if they don't fight to death.

The two sides fought fiercely twenty miles outside the city of Xuzhou. The defenders were defeated and defeated by the Yan army. They fled into the city one after another.

The city gate fell, and the guards counted the number of people. The combined number of cavalry and infantry was reduced by at least half.There are countless discarded ordnance.

When the battle report was delivered, the governor of Xuzhou and the commanders stationed here all took a deep breath one after another. Is it because the defenders are useless or the Yan army is too fierce?

The defeat ended here after a confrontation. Didn't the Xuzhou guards resist and line up to attack the Yan army?

After playing out of Hebei, Zhu Di spent most of his time wandering around in Shandong.Everyone in Xuzhou heard that the Yan army was powerful in combat, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.

Only after a real fight with Yan Jun can he understand how strong Sheng Yong is after fighting Zhu Di for three years.

The commanders frowned, and immediately ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and the soldiers patrolled the city day and night, ignoring the provocations of the Yan army, let alone going out of the city to meet the enemy.

"Xuzhou is the site of the Four Wars. If Xuzhou loses, the capital and the central capital will be lost." Commander Shen said, "Although Yan Ni is strong, the city of Xuzhou is high and deep, so the soldiers will stick to it until the reinforcements arrive. It can be attacked from inside and outside, and it will be broken!"

Zhizhou nodded, this is indeed the only way at present, but he still has some worries, "Now that the grain road is cut off by Yan Ni, the food and wages in the city are insufficient, and most of the armaments have been lost, what should we do?"

"There are still ordnance in the warehouse that can be replenished. As for the food and payment." The commander paused, "You can ask the common people for food."

"Requisition food from common people?"

Zhizhou was stunned.

The imperial court did not order the Xuzhou defenders to eat locally. Although it is urgent to obey the power, it is a taboo to act without an order.Even if the emperor doesn't pursue it, Ke Dao Yushi will not let it go.

"If you don't think about other ways, it may not be appropriate to collect food from the people without an order from the court..."

"Don't say any more." A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across the commander's face, and he said sharply, "If you don't ask for food from the people, are you waiting to starve to death? Once Yan Ni attacks the city, how can the soldiers fight when they are hungry?! If the court blames me, the old man Take it all!"

Speaking of this, even though he was unwilling, Zhizhou kept his mouth shut and didn't say any more.

If the chief envoy is here, he will definitely argue with the commander of the capital. We know that the command of the capital and the state are too far behind.

The first rank of the official university crushes people to death, not to mention the huge difference between the second rank and the fifth rank.

It's not the end of the Ming Dynasty now, and a civil servant who is as big as Sesame Mung Bean dares to point fingers at military commanders, and even swears at "reckless men" for no reason.

Zhizhou is not a speech officer, and has no right to criticize and procuratorate.The commander decided to collect grain, and no matter how he disagreed, he could not expressly oppose it, and he had to take part of the responsibility on his own initiative.

All the commanders showed their power, Zhizhou compromised, and the people of Xuzhou began to suffer.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is the time for the recovery of all things and the opportunity to plow the fields and sow seeds. The Xuzhou defenders suddenly requisitioned grain, and the amount was insufficient.

The people complained endlessly. If there was no military deterrence, they would rise up and rebel with King Yan.Even if there is no rebellion, when the defenders collect food everywhere, they will encounter a lot of troubles, and it is polite to be greeted a few times by the ancestors.

The Xuzhou defenders collected enough food and were ready to defend the city.

The Yan army outside the city did not attack the city unexpectedly. At dawn, they pulled out their battalions and lined up, bypassed Xuzhou City, and marched towards Suzhou.Before leaving, I did not forget to wave to the top of the city, brothers, see you later.

Looking at the large army of the Yan army going away, the defenders in the city were dumbfounded, so they left?

The commander was very resentful. If he knew that the Yan army would not attack the city, why did he order to requisition grain?I'm guilty of nothing!

What was King Yan thinking, why didn't he attack the city?Even if it's just a test and a show, the court will have an excuse to justify it after blaming it, but it's not good now.

Zhizhou, who was suppressed before, sneered, continue to be majestic?

Collecting food without orders is a serious crime, and it can be directly linked to rebellion.

After returning, he must deliver the memorial to the imperial court, read the old man's copy, and let him peel off his skin before he dies, so that he can completely vent his grievances.

The enemy is currently intrigues inside and outside the court.Military generals are no match for civil servants, except for the nobles with prominent backgrounds and relatives of the emperor, they all fell off the horse one after another.Under such circumstances, it is strange that Emperor Jianwen can keep the throne.

In the fourth year of Jianwen, in April of summer, the Yan army captured Huaibei, captured Suixi, and the forward reached Huai River.

The scouts of the Yan army discovered the imperial court's grain ship, and Shen Xuan personally led his troops to ambush the army escorting the grain and pay, and captured Jiangsu alive to participate in politics.After taking the food and grass, all the boats were burned.

Meng Qinghe wanted to persuade Shen Xuan to keep these ships, they could transport troops, and maybe they could also be used as warships.

"Warship?" Shen Xuan shook his head, "Twelve Lang has been in the Northland for a long time, and he has never seen a large ship. These boats are unusable, and if they are burned, they will be burned. It is not worth anything."

Meng Qinghe: "..."

After all, he was a freshman in the 21st century, but he was treated as a bumpkin by a native of the Ming Dynasty?

Meng Twelve Lang was very unconvinced.

Later, when he saw a real warship sailing through the wind and waves on the river and sea with its muzzle opened, he realized that he was really a country bumpkin.

Shen Xuan set fire to the Huai River, and Meng Qinghe was ordered to continue exploring the way.

Seeing that Meng Tongzhi was unhappy, Gao Fu grabbed the reins and comforted him: "You don't have to be like this, I have never seen a big boat before. Men in the north don't know big boats. It's not a big deal, and it's not ashamed at all. You don't have to worry about it."

"... Gao Baihu."

"Humble."

"Can I punch you?"

"Why?"

"Don't ask why."

"Oh."

With a bang, Meng Twelve Lang punched as if hitting a stone, and immediately grinned.

Gao Fu grinned, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "My fellow is a little weak, I still have to practice."

Meng Qinghe looked up at the sky, weeping against the wind, is there any reason for this?

In April Bingyin, King Yan's army joined the vanguard led by Shen Xuan, and met the reorganized Ping'an army at Xiaohe.

The Yan army camped on the north bank, and the Ping'an army camped on the south bank.

The Yan King's command will cut wood, build a bridge over the river, cross the river with infantry first, set up camp, and guard against the sudden attack of the Ping'an army, and the cavalry will stay at the end.

Pingan sent scouts to investigate the situation of the Yan army crossing the river, but did not launch an attack hastily. He was also waiting until the troops led by the commander-in-chief He Fu arrived, and launched a general attack on the Yan army after merging.

Throughout the night, the fires on both sides of the creek did not go out.

At dawn, the Yan army was assembled, and He Fu also led the army to arrive.

The two armies lined up on the south bank of the small river, stretching for more than ten miles.

The banner is clear in the formation, and the sound of swords and halberds is endless.

The horn sounded suddenly, and Yan Qi rushed to He Fujun's left flank amidst the rolling thunder.

The sound of cannons was booming, and when the cavalry rushed into the formation, the big iron ball fired by the Yan army's artillery smashed into the right wing of the Ping'an army.

Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng led the central army and the left army to guard the two wings, and King Yan personally led the Mongolian cavalry to charge towards the junction of the Ping'an army and the He Fu army.

The Yan army's combat intention is very clear, not to annihilate the enemy, but to break through the enemy's battle formation.Go around behind the enemy, and hit the carbine again.

The battle had been fought for three years, and many generals of the southern army, such as Pingan Shengyong, were already familiar with the tactics of the Yan army.Zhu Di had no choice but to change his accustomed tactics, all in order to win and enter the capital as soon as possible.

Both Ping'an and He Fu responded quickly, and at the same time increased their troops to weak points, and followed Sheng Yong's example to surround the cavalry with crossbows and firecrackers.

King Yan took the lead and rushed three times, but he insisted on not rushing over. Instead, he lost two generals, Chen Wen and Chen Hui.

Shen Xuan, who was attacking He Fujun, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around and rushed into the formation, sweeping his spears, and rescued King Yan.

Trapped in the formation, Yanshan Zhongwei Tongzhi Wang Zhen and others were completely surrounded, wearing several wounds, and accidentally fell off the horse.

Wang Zhen didn't want to be captured alive, so he drew his sword and killed himself.

Meng Qinghe did not follow Shen Xuan into the formation, but led Gao Fu and others to retreat to the edge of the battle circle, pointed to the commander-in-chief standing in He Fu's formation and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Gao Fu checked the distance with his eyes and replied confidently: "Tongzhi, there is no problem!"

Meng Qinghe nodded, "Very good, let's do it!"

Everyone immediately guarded Gao Fu and the other two archers. Meng Qinghe held a long knife and gritted his teeth secretly. He learned the trick of shooting the flag from the Southern Army.

The southern army only shot Yan Jun's big flag into a hedgehog to get spiritual comfort, but he was not so polite when he started, and he had to do something practical anyway.

The three of Gao Fu took out a special rocket from their horses, and Zhang Gong took the arrow, aiming at He Fu's handsome flag.

According to Meng Tongzhi's request, the craftsmen added heavy materials to the gunpowder ratio.Meng Qinghe is confident that if he keeps shooting He Fu's handsome flag, he can also turn it into a torch.

Amid the sound of piercing through the air, Gao Fu and the three of them shot nine swords in a row, and only two arrows missed.

The entire handsome flag instantly ignited a fire.

The soldiers around Shuaiqi screamed one after another. As long as it touches sparks, it will ignite in the wind, and the flames will rise up to two meters.Rolling over on the ground doesn't help either.

Both sides were stunned by this scene.

The soldiers under He Fu's command fought even more, with panic on their faces.

Shuai Qi actually caught fire? !

Could it be that the heavens warned that this battle must be lost?

The army's morale is unstable and timid, which is a taboo in the face of battle.

He Fujun may collapse at any time.

At this time, there was another sound of breaking through the air, and several military flags in the Ping'an Army also ignited a fire.

The Southern Army suddenly went into an uproar.

King Yan is a pure war madman, and his grasp of fighter planes is unrivaled.Seeing the chaos in the southern army, he stopped running immediately, turned his horse's head around, ordered the whole army to attack, and killed them back.

Shen Xuan followed closely behind King Yan, and remained steadfast after being kicked out twice.

King Gaoyang did not go to King Yan's side, but with Shen Xuan following him, his father was safe and sound.If you want to get more military exploits, follow Zhu Neng Chong.

Meng Qinghe was very excited, pointing at Ping An's handsome flag, "Shoot that!"

Gao Fu and the others looked ashamed, "I know, the arrow is gone."

The craftsmanship is still not good enough. Counting, five or six arrows failed to hit the target.Even if the enemy is shot, it is a serious waste.

"No more arrows?"

"Gone."

"It's gone."

He Fujun and Ping'an's army have been exposed, and Ping'an's commander-in-chief flag serves no purpose other than pointing out the direction of escape.

Meng Qinghe raised his long knife and kicked the horse's belly with his heel, "If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of it, you are not a hero, come and charge with me!"

Gao Fu and others: "..." Meng Tongzhi is indeed a man, but this head...is really a scholar?

King Yan and Shen Xuan were fighting in the formation, while Meng Tongzhi launched an attack outside the formation, taking the opportunity to catch the enemy.It's a pity that the luck was not as good as last time. Not only did he miss a big man like Tie Shilang, but he didn't even meet a hundred households along the way.

Holding the rein, Meng Qinghe shook his head helplessly. It seems that it is not easy to take advantage of it.

As night fell, the shouting finally stopped.

He Fu and Ping'an's army retreated back to the camp. The king of Yan seemed to be retreating, but he detoured halfway and ran to the camp of the southern army, planning to play a sneak attack at night.

The method is not very honorable, as long as he can win, Zhu Di doesn't care at all.

The Yan army imitated Feihe's ambush up and down, wrapped in leaves and grass poles all over their bodies, and slowly approached the southern army's camp.With the help of night and camouflage, the Confederate soldiers patrolling the camp did not find the attackers hiding in the dark at all.

Zhu Gaoxu took Zhu Gaosui and led [-] infantry as the vanguard.In order to ask for this errand, the king of Gaoyang County almost sat on the ground and kicked his legs and rolled.

King Yan covered his face, is this Lao Tzu's son?

Lifting a few fingers, Zhu Gaoxu is ready to roll at any time, Zhu Gaosui has already rolled on it, anyway, he is young, so he doesn't care!

Yan Wang silently, well, these two are really his sons.

The two bear children got their wish, but the father's heart was seriously hurt.

Sitting in the tent, looking at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui who grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears, and then at Zhu Neng, Shen Xuan and others who were always pretending to be in the background, King Yan was not tense, and he was happy.

This is Lao Tzu's son, so what!

The corners of Meng Qinghe's mouth trembled, and he immediately lowered his head.

It is not easy to see the king of Han cheating and the king of Zhao rolling around.

The sturdy life really needs no explanation.

At the end of the ugly time, it is the time when people are most sleepy.

Accompanied by dozens of rockets fired into the camp, the Yan army lurking outside the camp jumped up, shouted and launched an attack.

The distance was too close, and when the Southern Army reacted, the horses and fences in front of the camp had been pushed away by the infantry, and the Yan Army cavalry quickly rushed into the camp.

Zhu Gaoxu found that the rockets made by Meng Qing and other craftsmen in the same army were very useful. He brought a lot of them for this night attack. He took off the hard bow on his back, put on an arrow, and pulled it to full string. The flames reflected his side face red. The resolute, handsome, youthful outline has gradually faded, and the Gaoyang County King on the battlefield is just like Zhu Di 20 years ago.

He was born for the battlefield, just like his father.

The sound of shouting and killing, the sound of screams, the sound of weapons hitting, and the cracking of gunpowder are all connected together.

Meng Qinghe did not participate in the sneak attack, and was ordered to stay in the camp, alert to possible accidents.

Shen Xuan attacked together with King Yan, and within half an hour, the camp of the southern army was already in flames.

Whether it is attacking or staying behind, the Yan army believes that victory belongs to them.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.

Meng Qinghe frowned, and led Gao Fu to the gate of the camp, raised the torch and looked in the direction of the sound.

"My friend, the direction is wrong!"

Hearing Gao Fu's words, Meng Qinghe's heart beat wildly, and he shouted loudly: "Come on, hurry up and report to the lord! The others follow me to strictly guard the camp!"

"Follow the order!"

"How many rockets are there in the battalion? All bowmen and firecrackers come here!"

"Yes!"

King Yan and his generals came out in full force, and none of the chief generals and deputy generals of the five armies remained. Meng Qinghe became the highest rank and status among the remaining officers.There was a general of the former army in the battalion, but he was seriously injured and couldn't move at all, let alone command the defense.

As the sound of horseshoes got closer, Meng Qinghe's expression became more and more anxious.

Gao Fu lay on the ground and told Meng Qinghe that there were no less than ten thousand people coming after hearing the sound of hooves, and there were only a few more.

"Gao Baihu, take someone to report to the prince yourself, and leave immediately!"

"Same knowledge, I am humbled to be ordered to protect..."

"This is an order! If the enemy breaks through the camp, no one's life will be saved!"

"Follow the order!"

Leaving with Gao Fu, there is also a Baihu and five general banners.

Meng Qinghe assembled the firecrackers and crossbowmen as quickly as possible, and all the rockets were brought in.

Regardless of whether it is a cavalry infantry or a fire-headed army, they must take up arms.

The active ones in the wounded battalion also took the initiative to fight.

Now is not the time to talk about "humanity". If the big camp is broken, everyone will go to the palace of the king of hell to report.

"Everyone, as long as the army returns to help, there is hope!"

Meng Qinghe personally picked up a bow and crossbow, as if he had returned to the days of the frontier fortress.

He didn't know why he had such courage, but when the enemy army came, he took the initiative to stand at the forefront of the defensive formation.

Excited?excited?fear?

Death seemed to be very close to him, but his mood suddenly became extraordinarily peaceful.

Everything in front of my eyes became very clear, but my ears seemed to be covered with a thin film.

In the darkness, only the sound of the enemy's horseshoes was getting closer.

"Throw the torch!"

Countless torches gathered into points of light that pierced the darkness and fell outside the camp, forming an imprecise wall of fire.

With the light of the fire, Meng Qinghe finally saw the appearance of the enemy clearly.

The different looped jacket is wearing the flag of Wei Guogong.

The black pupils constricted. If it was Xu Huizu, his life might really be lost.

As soon as the thought came to him, Meng Qinghe bit his lips tightly, the pain woke him up instantly.

He wiped off the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. At this point, fear is useless, life or death depends entirely on him!

"Fire arrows!"

Arrows flew out of the battalion, and the flames suddenly rose among the enemy troops.

The horse neighed, and the charging formation froze.

Meng Qinghe went all out, I am not even afraid of Mongolian cavalry, no one is afraid of anyone!

"Keep firing arrows, gunners get ready!"

At the same time, King Yan, who attacked the He Fu Ping'an army camp at night, heard that he was attacked from behind.

"After the former army is terminated, the others will follow me back to the camp!"

He Fuping's camp was already in a sea of ​​flames, numerous soldiers were killed and injured, they wanted to pursue them, but they were powerless.

If it wasn't for Xu Huizu's sudden appearance to attack the Yan army's camp, He Futong would have fallen into Zhu Di's hands safely.

Shen Xuan took the lead, burning with anxiety.

King Gaoyang was almost on par with Shen Xuan, while King Yan Zhu Neng and others were a little behind.

Looking at the adoptive son and second son in front of him, if the situation didn't allow it, Zhu Di really wanted to stroke his beard and laugh out loud. With a son like this, God really treats Yu Gu favorably!

Xu Huizu deserves to be Xu Da's son, and he used soldiers to get the best of his father's essence.

Sending troops to attack Zhu Di's camp, he did not forget to set up an ambush halfway to prevent the Yan army from returning to the division, and caught the king of Yan by surprise.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan and Zhu Neng opened the way. Facing these two fierce men, no matter how brave the southern army set up an ambush, it would be useless.

After repelling two ambushes in a row, Shen Xuan finally saw the camp.

The camp was surrounded by flames, but only a few places in the camp were on fire, and the food and grass should be safe and sound.

Shen Xuan clenched the spear tightly, the fire light illuminated his face and made his eyes red.

"kill!"

The Yanshan guard and the Yanshan left guard rushed forward, the southern army attacking the camp with all their strength was in chaos, but the Yan army in the camp was refreshed.

Borrowing the early morning light in the sky, Meng Qinghe saw Shen Xuan galloping towards him.

Silver armor spears, generals like jade.

Really, invincible handsome!

Not daring to be distracted for too long, he blocked the enemy's knife with all his strength, and finally carried the army back to help. It would be too unfair to be hacked to death at this time.

However, when Meng Qinghe was dealing with the enemy in front of him with all his strength, a figure wearing a Yanjun jacket suddenly appeared behind him.

There was a dull pain, and the tip of the knife pierced through the side of the abdomen.

Meng Qinghe turned his head slowly, and saw a not-so-unfamiliar face.

Tang Ziqing, the master book of Peixian County.

Someone nearby shouted: "Tongzhi!"

However, Meng Qinghe had exhausted all his energy and gradually could not feel the pain from the wound.

At the end of his consciousness, he only saw Shen Xuan flying towards him.

Silver armor, jade-like face, black eyes blood red.

When darkness fell, Meng Qinghe fell to the ground, and everything fell into silence without a sound.
