Daming: From the end of Hongwu

298 Chapter 296 - Qiu Fu died in Dongchang
Unknowingly, it has come to October, and the mountain wind seems to carry the clear coolness of the mountains, blowing on people's bodies, making people feel transparent.

Zhang Pu didn't know how long he stayed on the small hill, until his mind had stabilized before he descended the small hill expressionlessly and rode back to the camp.

He walked fast all the way, and his mood was even more indescribable than when he came here.

After half a century, I am most afraid of reminiscing about the impermanent past. The more I reminisce, the more grievances and loved ones I can’t forget, the more I will press on in my mind, as if I will never let it go.

Zhang Pu was in this state. Although nothing was revealed on his face, the images of his daughters, Zhang Qi and Zhang Yuqing were always circling in his mind.

He sighed lightly.

old!
People can't help themselves.

……

In the next few days, Zhu Di and Sheng Yong set up camps outside the city, and both sides sent a large number of scouts at the same time, trying to find out each other's weaknesses while trying to overwhelm each other in terms of momentum.

Whose scouts are also elite.

Before the army moved, the scout battle between the two sides became an appetizer before the real battle.

At this time, in a village that had long been deserted.

Wu Tie swooped down from the roof and hacked to death a southern army scout. He watched the southern army waiting for his death in horror, and spat on the ground fiercely: "Damn it, I don't know This is Lao Tzu's exploration site, if you dare to stick your hand in, you will die!"

After he finished speaking, there was a sound of horseshoes in the village, and several Yan army scouts on horseback roared to Wu Tie's side: "Head, everything is done, one of them has not been let go."

"Nice job."

Wu Tie stretched out his hand happily and slapped a soldier, and then said proudly: "I'll cut off all my heads, and go back to the camp to record military merits."

"Okay." All the Yan army scouts cheered together.

They quickly chopped off the head of the southern army, and then got on their horses and headed towards the barracks. Someone on the road smiled and sighed: "It's really cool to fight these days. Speaking of which, head, why did we fight so hard this time?" .”

Wu Tie is also a big soldier, how could he understand these things, but he was unwilling to lose face in front of his subordinates, so he pondered for a while and said, "Your Highness probably knew about the opponent's formation before, but this time the opponent came in a hurry. , Your Highness, they should not know much, so we have to go shopping."

After finishing speaking, Wu Tie quickly changed the subject and said, "You little bastard, why are you asking so many questions? It's fine if you don't get credit for it."

"That's right, I guess after this fight, I can raise a small flag no matter what."

A group of Yan army scouts broke out into hearty laughter again.

In the past few days, not only Wu Tie and the others, but also the scouts sent by the Yan Army have basically been competing with the opponent's scouts every day. From the perspective of big data, although they have a slight advantage, overall there are winners and losers. If you lose, you won't get an overwhelming advantage.

However, with the contact between the scouts of the two sides, each has a general understanding of each other's camp.

In this case, Zhu Di took the lead and couldn't bear it anymore.

Zhu Di and the others did not have the advantage of time, so it was impossible for them to fight with each other all the time. After getting a general understanding of the opponent's formation, Zhu Di decided to start mobilizing the army.

As before, he habitually attacked Sheng Yong's left wing.

After Sheng Yong learned of Zhu Di's actions in the barracks, he couldn't help laughing, and the lieutenant beside him was also overjoyed: "General, King Yan is indeed attacking our left wing as before."

Sheng Yong nodded, his eyes shining brightly: "We will win this battle, pass on the order, let the elite infantry arranged on the left wing must be as firm as a rock, and when Zhu Di retreats in spite of the difficulties, we can lure him into my army Chinese Army."

The deputy general said excitedly, "Yes."

Sheng Yong watched the leaving figure of the lieutenant general, and he followed him out of the big tent, looking in the direction of the left wing.

Zhu Di had already fallen into their rhythm step by step, which caused Sheng Yong's desire for victory to spread wildly.

Since Zhu Di raised his army, they have lost every fight, which makes them so unwilling.

They needed a victory that would shock the world to inspire their military spirit and at the same time break Zhu Di's myth of invincibility.

And once they achieve such a big victory, then this big victory is bound to push them all to the highest peak of their lives.

Enduring even in history.

Turn the tide.

What an honor this is.

……

But at this time, behind Sheng Yong, a few horses came here on a higher ground. Zhen Wu got off his horse and looked at the immobile Sheng Yong's army in the distance, silent for a long time.

Zhen Wu never planned to join Zhu Di from the very beginning. They only have more than [-] people, and the impact of joining together will not have too much impact on the battle situation. On the contrary, if they have been hovering behind Sheng Yong, after Sheng Yong showed a flaw, , Give Sheng Yong a painful blow, and maybe the victory can be controlled.

But this requires Zhen Wu's precise judgment of the battle situation.

Because he has no way to know the detailed battle situation on the front line at all now, he can only speculate based on the changes in Sheng Yong's army.

"General Right, when shall we make a move?" Cao Xiaoman asked beside him.

"What? Feeling itchy?" Zhen Wu looked back at Cao Xiaoman.

Cao Xiaoman nodded with a simple smile.

Zhen Wu slapped him on the back of the head: "What stinking virtue, just wait, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Zhen Wu looked in another direction. There was a town called Yuji Town. His [-] cavalry were near the town. It was Zhang Pu who was in charge of defense.

He didn't know what Zhang Pu would think in the end.

Zhen Wu felt a little worried.

However, he secretly made up his mind that no matter whether Zhang Pu lets go or not, he will go all out in this battle to defeat Sheng Yong.

But Zhen Wu didn't expect that he observed Sheng Yong's army for two days without seeing any movement.

The flames of war between the two sides did not seem to have reached the Chinese army.

Zhen Wu didn't know that Zhu Di was in a difficult situation at this time. He didn't expect that Sheng Yong's left wing combat power was so high. Even if he was allowed to attack for two days, he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

Zhu Di couldn't help but began to worry, if Sheng Yong's entire army was so good at fighting, what would happen to his battle? This thought was a dangerous signal, Zhu Di knew it clearly, but he still couldn't control it , This idea is always involuntarily stretching in my mind.

At this time, Qiu Fu suddenly asked to see him.

It was so late, Qiu Fu came here, there must be something important, Zhu Di quickly asked someone to bring Qiu Fu in, when Zhu Di heard Qiu Fu's first words, Zhu Di was so surprised that he couldn't sit still anymore.

"What did you say? Sheng Yong mobilized the most elite infantry in the army and put them on the left wing?" Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu in disbelief.

Qiu Fu said affirmatively: "Yes, Your Highness, I will report this news to Your Highness as soon as I get the news."

"Where did the news come from?" Zhu Di asked.

"The attack didn't go well in the past two days, so I personally captured a scout and got the news from the other party." Qiu Fu said solemnly.

He knew what this news meant to them.

Zhu Di was walking in the big tent, thinking about the accuracy of the news. After thinking about it, Zhu Di suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Yes, it must be like this. Thousands of veterans are better at fighting, but now these two days have been on par with us, I can't think of any other reason except that Sheng Yong mobilized elites to the left wing."

"Then what is his reason for doing this?" Qiu Fu asked a little puzzled.

Zhu Di briefly thought about it, but he burst out laughing: "I laughed at him as Sheng Yong, who was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. He must have studied my tactics and knew that I like to attack the left wing first. His method is nothing more than trying to frustrate I am determined, and I am convinced, well, I really almost fell into his way, but now that the news is known to me, I see what else he can do with Sheng Yong, this is really God helping me."

"Your Highness..." Qiu Fu asked.

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, and he said to Qiu Fu: "Let Gao Xu continue to attract the attention of the left wing tomorrow, and let's change our taste and attack his central army with all our strength this time."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di slammed his fist heavily on the table, and there was a muffled sound from the table, revealing the momentum of Zhu Di breaking all the boats.

One night passed in a blink of an eye, and the next day soon came, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to attack the left wing as usual, while Zhu Di led more troops to charge Sheng Yong's central army head-on.

When Zhu Di and the others hit the first line of defense, Zhu Di immediately felt that the resistance of Sheng Yong's army was much weaker than that of the left wing.

Zhu Di didn't do what he thought, but thought he had seen through Sheng Yong's plot. He led the countless cavalry behind him, took the lead and smashed the first line of defense of Sheng Yong's army, then waved and shouted, and then rushed towards Sheng Yong's camp and go.

Behind Zhu Di, Qiu Fu was also screaming excitedly, if Sheng Yong's central army was destroyed in this battle, then the outcome of this battle will be known.

But just as all the soldiers of the Yan Army rushed forward bravely.

Not far away from Sheng Yong's second line of defense, cannons were launched one after another. These cannons were displayed in the eyes of Zhu Di and others. There was a dark and cold light on the cannons, and the muzzles of the cannons faintly seemed to be black holes that swallowed people.

"Fire." With a loud sound of firing.

Countless matchsticks were ignited, and Zhu Di was shocked, his face turned pale from fright, he was tricked, his mother was tricked.

Qiu Fu shouted in horror: "Protect Your Highness."

But his voice just fell, bang bang bang...

Cannons spit out flames one after another, and the sound of countless cannons resounded through the entire world at this moment, as if even the sky and the earth changed color.

All the soldiers of the Yan Army were stunned. Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaoxu on the left looked towards the direction of the Central Army with trembling faces. Zhang Yu in the middle of the Yan Army was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. Zheng Heng and Meng Shan on the right also agreed. Yes, they all looked in the direction of the Chinese army in unison.

This is artillery? ?
This is the enemy of all!
Even Zhen Wu, who was behind Sheng Yong, stood up abruptly when he heard the voice. He looked in the direction of Sheng Yong's army, and a thought immediately appeared in his mind.

Who is attacking the Chinese army?

And who was hit head-on by the cannon?
The artillery Zhen Wu of this era has studied it before, and the power is not particularly great, at least it is incomparable with later generations. As long as it is not hit directly at close range, it is unlikely to be blasted into pieces.

But the most frightening thing about a cannonball is not when it is hit head-on, but when it explodes.

The reason why it is called the enemy of ten thousand people is that the projectile after the shell explodes is enough to cover a large area, and that kind of penetrating power, even if it does not take everyone's life, is enough to cover this area. Both men and horses were out of combat.

The facts were just as Zhen Wu had guessed.

At this moment, countless soldiers under Zhu Di were lying on the ground screaming, and Zhu Di himself had two bloodstains on his face. The result of protecting the body.

Zhu Di crawled out from under them. He looked around blankly, but with just one glance, he saw Qiu Fu who was not far away from him, still looking like he was rushing to protect him.

Qiu Fu, in his 50s, was bleeding profusely, and his white beard was also stained with blood. He crawled on the ground and looked at Zhu Di with his last breath. There was no fear of death in his eyes, but he saw that Zhu Di was safe and sound. There was a smile from time to time.

He opened his mouth lightly: "Your Highness, let's go."

But his words were so vague that people couldn't really hear them, and a mouthful of blood trickled out of his mouth, and he let out his last breath along the way.

Qiu Fu, who had been a soldier all his life, commanded the cavalry of the Yan Army, and was a vanguard general many times, died in this battle.

Zhu Di roared in grief and indignation.

The rest of the cavalry who were still alive forced their spirits up and came to Zhu Di's side, making a lot of noise to lead Zhu Di to retreat first.

At this time, there were shouts that rushed into the sky from the camp of the Southern Army.

"Capture King Yan alive and destroy the Yan thief."

"Capture King Yan alive and destroy the Yan thief."

……

The loud voice shook people's minds, Zhu Neng, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhang Yu, Meng Shan and others, who still had the mind to care about their affairs at hand, hurriedly explained a sentence, and hurriedly led their troops to rescue.

All of them were extremely anxious, and bravely charged towards Sheng Yong's army. Zhang Yu was more calm than others at this moment. Give Zhu Di a chance to escape.

This battle was defeated, Zhang Yu understood in his heart.

But in this battle, Zhu Di must not be allowed to explain it.

Soon, several Yan troops rushed into Sheng Yong's central army, and after Sheng Yong laughed happily, he began to dispatch troops to keep Zhu Di and others.

Trying to win the battle.

Countless generals of the southern army also led their headquarters to become active in the battlefield of the Chinese army.

For a moment, Sheng Yong's entire Central Military Office became lively.

At this time, Zhen Wu, who saw this scene, had already led his subordinates to move.

They headed straight towards Yuji Town vigorously, and with the sound of more than [-] horseshoes stamping on the ground, countless arrows rained towards the defenders of Yuji Town before they arrived.

The defenders in Yuji Town were frightened and hid one after another, not daring to show their heads.

After waiting for Zhen Wu to lead the crowd to roar past their defense line, Zhang Pu got out from a residential house at this time.

He looked at the back of Zhen Wu and others leaving, and said silently in his heart: "Since you want to go, I will do what you want, but I hope you can get what you want, and you can serve your mother for the rest of your life in the future." No worries."

Zhang Pu's lieutenant general looked at Zhang Pu from the side, with a hint of uneasiness and confusion in his eyes. Behind the market town was the general's central army. Why did Zhang Pu, who was so talented in the past, let him go so easily?

……

Zhen Wu rode on a galloping horse, seeing Zhang Pu and the others let him pass without resistance, he knew in his heart that Zhang Pu had helped him, and while he was feeling grateful in his heart, he looked at Sheng Yong's Chinese army not far ahead, It also gradually became more severe.

Since the other party has a cannon, he will not be polite.

While running, Zhen Wu gave orders.

"Xue Lu, if you attract 3000 people to attack the opponent's artillery camp from behind, you'd better set fire to his artillery camp, tell me how big the noise is, how big the noise is, and the others will follow me and kill Sheng Yong .”

Xue Lu took the order and led 3000 people out with a wave of his hand.

And the rest of the people, led by Cao Xiaoman, shouted wildly.

"Behead Sheng Yong!"

"Behead Sheng Yong!"
