Daming: From the end of Hongwu

311 Chapter 309 - Famous General Xu Huizu

As time moved toward summer day by day, the weather became hotter and hotter, but the Xuzhou area was different from Beiping. The heat not only didn't make this place dry, but made it even more humid.

This made the entire Yan Army generals feel uncomfortable, as if there was an extra layer of intangible and invisible things on their bodies, which aroused everyone's anxiety.

Even Zhen Wu is the same.

"Maybe it's going to rain." Zhen Wu sighed as he felt the stuffy and suffocating weather.

But for two days in a row, the surrounding area did not drop a drop of rain.

But even so, it did not affect the continued march of the Yan army at all. After only two days of rest, they set off from Pei County to attack Xuzhou, and when they arrived at the city of Xuzhou, they immediately launched a tragic siege .

In this regard, just as Zhen Wu did not expect Ping An and Xu Huizu's actions, Ping An and Xu Huizu also did not expect Yan Jun's actions to be so fast, even beyond their imagination.

What surprised Pingan and Xu Huizu even more was that one day after the Yan army attacked Xuzhou City, an internal response appeared in Xuzhou City, and opened the gate of Xuzhou City from the inside.

For a time, the Yan army entered the city mightily, and quickly occupied the whole city, while He Fu, who was guarding Xuzhou, could only lead the army to flee from the south gate in a hurry, heading towards Lingbi County where Xu Huizu was located. .

When the Yan army gained power, Zhu Di took the lead and chased them away, making up his mind to expand the results of the battle to the point where He Fu could no longer fight.

at the same time.

Xu Huizu and the others, who were leaving Lingbi to go to Xuzhou, also received Tanma's latest report on the battle situation.

The lieutenant general was horrified and furious: "What did He Fu do? Xuzhou is such a fortified city that it can be lost in a day. Is he a waste? I really wish I could kill him if he missed our army's important affairs so much."

He knew Xu Huizu's plan before.

Xu Huizu originally planned to rush to the vicinity of Xuzhou City secretly. When the Yan army attacked the city, he asked He Fu to let the Yan army enter the city. There was no escape, and the Yan army, which could fight in one battle, completely stopped.

Unexpectedly, before they arrived at the designated location, Xuzhou City was breached!
How can this be accepted by the lieutenant general.

Xu Huizu also closed his eyes and sighed regretfully, but the next moment, he collected his mood again, and quickly took out the map to look at it.

Whenever there is a big event, you need to be quiet.

No matter the situation is good or bad, the general must maintain the highest level of calmness. This is the principle his father Xu Da taught him, and he has always done it very well.

While looking at the map, he was thinking about what he reported just now.

He Fu's army fled without chaos, but they couldn't defeat Yan's army in field battles, but they were still able to fight as long as they were given time to regroup. The question is how to get this time.

Xu Huizu began to measure the distance between He Fu's army and them in his heart. He gestured the distance on the map, silently calculated the marching speed, and quickly came to a conclusion.

In less than two hours, He Fu and the others will arrive here.

Then two hours.

That's enough.

Xu Huizu reprimanded the lieutenant general who was still furious: "What's the use of you jumping here? Don't you know that the battle is changing rapidly? Don't you know that a general needs to deal with it calmly?"

The deputy general was reprimanded and lost his temper. He asked, "Master Guo, what should we do now?"

"Since the strategy of luring the enemy fails, then the strategy of ambush and blocking the enemy will be adopted."

Xu Huizu beckoned the deputy general to look at the map, and then he pointed at a location: "This is the only way for He Fu to escape. You tell the army to ambush on both sides. After He Fu and others pass, if the Yan army is still chasing , then Lei Ting rushed out, killing him by surprise, and sent another team to inform He Fu, after we stop the enemy, let him quickly regroup the army, and then counterattack the Yan army."

After finishing speaking, Xu Huizu hammered heavily on the map, and said in a deep voice: "If the Yan army sees a good one, just accept it. If they make an inch of progress, this time they are caught by surprise, they must be killed and defeated, and then take advantage of the trend to retake Xuzhou City."

After listening to Xu Huizu's arrangement, the deputy general was stunned for a moment, but soon, his expression cheered up again. He clasped his fists and hurriedly responded, and then rushed down excitedly to arrange things.

On the other side, Zhu Di led the generals to defeat the two troops behind He Fudian in a row, but Zhu Di and the others still refused to give up. Zhu Di, including Zhen Wu and other generals, knew that the sooner they defeated He Fu's army, the better it would be for them .

Therefore, at this time, no one said to be stable, and everyone was thinking, to be faster, to be faster.

Gradually, the distance between cavalry and infantry increased.

As time goes by.

When they were about to bite He Fu's army, countless southern troops suddenly rushed out from both sides of them, and Zhu Di took a closer look in shock.

"Beijing camp!"

"How could it be someone from the Beijing camp? Isn't Xu Huizu going to be stationed in Huai'an? How could he appear here?"

"Fuck, there's an ambush."

Countless exclamations came out from the Yan army.

None of them expected that Xu Huizu would appear in Xuzhou's territory, nor did they expect that when He Fu retreated, Xu Huizu would suddenly come out and catch them by surprise.

And they are in a state of chasing now, there is no formation at all, they were killed by Xu Huizu's soldiers and horses screaming, and countless Yan troops were cut off in an instant.

Then there was a big riot in the entire Yan army.

Zhu Di roared the whole army to face the battle, and the generals were also quickly trying to stabilize their soldiers and horses, but there seemed to be countless southern troops fighting from both sides, which made the soldiers flustered and lost their courage.

Seeing the inevitable defeat, Zhen Wu held a horse in his hand and erupted with his unparalleled courage. He immediately killed the southern army who rushed towards them, and then Zhen Wu slapped his horse and circled around his right army, trying to make more soldiers look at him. Until he shows off his power.

Seeing Zhen Wu's bravery and thinking of Zhen Wu's past achievements, the soldiers of the right army gradually calmed down and began to fight against the southern army.

Just as they became more and more stable, He Fu's army, who were originally hunted down by them, counterattacked at them in unison at this time.

Zhen Wu was shocked again.

The opponent's wave of unrest and wave of offensive made Zhen Wu have to suspect that this was a strategy that He Fu and Xu Huizu had made early on.

But if it is really the plan that was decided before, He Fu would be willing to abandon Xuzhou City?Would you be willing to kill or injure 3 or [-] horses?How much money does this cost.

But if it wasn't for the strategy that was decided before, who would have turned He Fu's great defeat around.

Zhen Wu's heart sank slowly, at this moment their infantry could not catch up for a while, their cavalry was suddenly killed by Xu Huizu from the left and right, if they were counterattacked by He Fu's army, they would definitely have a big battle rout.

No!

This result is absolutely unacceptable.

After piercing a soldier in front of him with a spear, he jumped up and stood on the horse to look around the whole battle situation.

There is a lot of black.

Zhu Di's cavalry army, Zhang Yu's central army, and Zhu Neng's left army were all in chaos. Zhen Wu looked back at the situation of their right army, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Notify all the generals of the right army to follow me, Go stop He Fu."

Later, when Zhen Wu saw that Wang Zhen was not far away from him, he quickly asked Wang Zhen to lead his troops to support Zhu Di, and informed Zhu Di to retreat quickly.

This battle can no longer be fought, and we must find a way to withdraw from the battle, otherwise the more we fight, the deeper we sink, and it may become the cause of a great defeat.

Wang Zhen should go.

And Zhen Wu led the banner of the right army, and went to meet He Fu.

He Fu's army was 10,000+, and Zhen Wu's cavalry army was not many. For a while, Zhen Wu and others rushed into the sea recklessly like a small stream.

On the other hand, with the help of Wang Zhen, Zhu Di finally stabilized completely.

Like Zhen Wu, he also knew that the fight could not continue, and immediately notified all the ministries to fight while retreating, while Wang Zhen circled around Zhu Di, helping Zhu Di stop the enemy.

In the battlefield, there was a sound of killing everywhere, and gradually all the ministries of the Yan Army gathered beside Zhu Di one by one, guarding Zhu Di and withdrawing towards the outside of the battlefield.

But when Zhu Di was about to withdraw, another cavalry army appeared behind them.

Ping An didn't know when he broke through the Yan Army's rear army, and the infantry rushed towards Zhu Di and others with a fearless attitude. Wang Zhen, who was closest to Ping An and the others, went forward without hesitation.

The Ping An Army was brave and fearless.

But Wang Zhen's followers are also extraordinary.

Two troops with the same experience in hundreds of battles and a fearless mentality collided together for a while, and they collided violently like two steel plates, sparking a large amount of sparks.

At the next moment, it was like two berserk beasts biting each other's bodies.

Wang Zhen led the people to rush forward and fight bravely. I don't know how long they fought. They rushed out from the Ping'an tribe. The fighting power of the Ping'an tribe made Wang Zhen feel surprised and admired. I don't want to fight with such troops again.

The people in the Ping'an Department also felt the same as Wang Zhen. They saw Wang Zhen rushing out, and they didn't want to entangle with Wang Zhen anymore, but at this time Wang Zhen didn't know whether Zhu Di had withdrawn.

He watched the members of the Security Department still charge forward.

I thought Zhu Di was still trapped in the battle.

Wang Zhen looked back, and the men who were all wounded roared loudly, leading them to rush towards Ping An and the others again.

But at this time, Wang Zhen didn't know that Ping'an and other tribes had joined Xu Huizu's men, and the number of people was many times greater than him.

Wang Zhen led the people towards him, only to feel that the other party's people were getting more and more, but his people were getting fewer and fewer. When he wanted to break through, he found that it was already too late. He was surrounded by countless Southern Army regiments Surrounded.

But the king is really fearless.

Even if he fell off the horse, he still fought endlessly.

Seeing Wang Zhen's bravery not far away, Ping'an sighed in his heart. Sure enough, there are many good fighters under King Yan, but they are in different camps. Even if he appreciates Wang Zhen again, he has to kill him.

With an order from Ping'an, countless southern troops rushed towards Wang Zhen fiercely.

I don't know how long it took.

Wang Zhen was exhausted at last, and his vigor was greatly reduced.

Holding a gun in one hand, Pingan galloped away, piercing Wang Zhen's heart with a lightning strike.

Blood flowed from the corner of Wang Zhen's mouth in an instant. He looked down at the spear stuck in his chest, forced an ugly smile on his face, tried to raise the waist knife in his hand, and finally slashed at the enemy.

But after his heart was pierced, all the strength in his body faded away like a tide, and he finally didn't raise the knife for the last time.

Scenes from his life seemed to emerge in his eyes. He joined the army when he was young, and later saved the daughter of a dilapidated rich family. He was favored by a beautiful woman and married him. Then, in order to give his wife a rich life, he fought bloody battles and rose to the top. to a hundred households.

It seems that this life is not bad.

Wang Zhen slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

This elder who had a close relationship with Tan Yuan, who had taken care of Zhen Wu a lot early on, and who had been planning to make Zhen Wu his son-in-law, ended his life hastily and unexpectedly in this battle.

But he doesn't regret it, as long as Zhu Di is safe and sound, it doesn't matter if he dies.

It's just a pity that he was defeated by Ping An, and he was afraid that he would have to help the arrogance of this dog thief again.

There was a sudden bang in the sky.

I don't know if it was because Wang Zhen was killed in battle, or God finally sneezed after holding back for several days, and it finally started to rain in the sky.

Moreover, the rain suddenly became heavier from the very beginning, so heavy that everyone on the battlefield couldn't even open their eyes.

It was as if a basin of water had been poured from the sky, trying to disperse the ants fighting fiercely on both sides below and persuade them to leave.

Xu Huizu raised his head to look at the sky, and let the bean-sized raindrops hit his face. The numb pain seemed to calm his mind down.

After a long time, he finally calmed down, and couldn't help sighing: "How unfair the heavens are, they don't help me so much."

It was indeed as Xu Huizu said.

Facing the pouring rain, all the soldiers of the southern army became less and less eager to pursue bloody battles, and their sight was blocked, so they also helped the Yan army who wanted to withdraw from the battle.

……

In the evening, the two sides in the battle had separated. Xu Huizu, Ping An, and He Fu all led their subordinates to station in Lingbi City, while the Yan Army stationed in Suzhou nearby.

In a hall in Suzhou, Zhu Di and other generals sat there lifelessly, listening to the crackling rain outside.

The right army defeated the general, causing the entire right army generals to bow their heads and be in a bad mood.

Especially Tan Yuan and Zhen Wu.

Zhen Wuruo said that he could still bear the blow, but Tan Yuan seemed to have aged many years in an instant. He felt that after Wang Zhen left like this, Tan Yuan's vigor went underground with Wang Zhen.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "I'm to blame for this battle. I'm impatient."

Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng and others comforted Zhu Di: "Your Highness is not to blame, none of us expected that Xu Huizu would suddenly appear here."

As soon as the name Xu Huizu appeared, there seemed to be a huge pressure, which made Zhu Di and others quiet for a while.

Zhen Wu closed his eyes, and inexplicably thought of the time when Zhu Yuanzhang was packing up the blue jade and when Xu Huizu was on an errand in Beiping. At that time, he followed Xu Huizu's ass and learned a lot from Xu Huizu.

And what he learned has benefited Zhen Wu a lot until now.

Xu Huizu is a capable person, Zhen Wu understands it, and he understood it many years ago.

Zhu Di is also in a rather complicated mood at the moment. Although he has been with several generals since he was a child, the one who has the deepest influence on him is his father-in-law Xu Da. As Xu Da's eldest son, how could Xu Huizu not get Xu Da Da's true biography.

Therefore, Zhu Di knew Xu Huizu's ability better than Zhen Wu.

So he even had a hint of retreat.

But this thought of retreating only appeared in his mind, and Zhu Di shook his head to dispel it. Now that he couldn't retreat, he had to try to cheer up the generals and fight Xu Huizu again.

He looked around the generals and saw that only Zhu Neng seemed not affected by the battle, so he gave Zhu Neng a look with his eyes.

Zhu Neng understood Zhu Di's intentions, and stood up and said, "Why, a Xu Huizu scares us? Back then, Han Gaozu won the world after hundreds of battles, and we became like this after one defeat? Could it be that Do you all think that the world should be fought smoothly? Or do you think that no one of us here will die in the process? I don’t believe that when the army was raised, none of you thought that there would be The day you die."

All the generals looked shocked.

Zhu Di nodded in praise and said, "That's well said, it's unreasonable for us officers and soldiers of the Yan army to be beaten to the ground by a little setback. The generals will obey my orders and wait for the rain to stop before the whole army fights again."

……

But there are some things to say, the morale is up and down, but fighting is the same thing. After Xu Huizu assumed the responsibility of the general in Lingbi, he didn't give Zhen Wu and the others a chance, and even took strict precautions against Zhen Wu and the others. At the same time, there were often some tactics of attacking the camp, ambush, and seduction, which made Zhen Wu and others look ashamed and embarrassed.

Xu Huizu seemed to be a great master of martial arts, with softness in his strength and offense in his defense, leaving Zhen Wu and the others helpless.

Even for several days in a row, Zhen Wu and the others were blocked in Suzhou, unable to move forward at all.

At this moment, Zhu Di and others began to panic. You must know that Huai'an has 40 troops of Mei Yin, and Huai'an is not far from Suzhou.

If Mei Yin came to help and blocked their retreat, they would be in a dilemma.

Zhen Wu rode a horse to investigate Xu Huizu's camp with the scouts. He watched from a distance, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find Xu Huizu's weakness.

For a moment, Zhen Wu's anxious mouth was blistered.

This bloody Xu Huizu, can no one take care of him? !
