The day of the decisive battle is getting closer and closer. Zhang Fu has been ordered to set up an ambush in Lingbi, while Zhu Di's momentum of siege is getting weaker and weaker, because he has transferred most of the Shenji camp to Lingbi, where ambushing, waiting for Yun Zichen's army to plunge into his ambush circle. ()

Seeing that Zhu Di's momentum of siege was getting weaker and weaker, Xu Huizu knew that it must be Yun Zichen's army coming to rescue him. Zhu Di had to ship out his troops to deal with it, which made him extremely excited.

But he was still an old general after all. He knew that it might be Zhu Di's delaying strategy. When he left the city to find Zhu Di to fight, Zhu Di rushed forward and captured Fengyang. So he just sent a small team of troops to detour out of the city and to inquire about Yun Zichen's news.

This battle not only touched the hearts of Yun Zichen, Zhu Di and Xu Huizu, but also touched Zhu Yunwen's heart. Fengyang can be said to be the last barrier in Nanjing. If he was defeated in this battle, his Nanjing would be in crisis.

Moreover, so far, no vassal king has come to serve the king, which means that if Zhu Di wins, he will have to rely on the established 30,000-guard army to resist.

The development of the matter has been greatly beyond Zhu Yunwen's expectations. He never thought that Zhu Di could go straight to the door of Nanjing. If he had known this, it would have been better if the excuse of killing his uncle's name, but he might have thought that Zhu Di had turned into a white bone.

But there is no regret medicine in the world. What you can do now is to use all your strength and achieve your goals in one battle. After all, their army still has an advantage now.

Yun Zichen's 100,000 army, plus Xu Huizu's 80,000 army, had a total of 180,000. Zhu Di's army was only 80,000, and he was a northerner, and he was obviously not as familiar with the climate in the south as his soldiers.

But Zhu Yunwen was still worried and transferred 20,000 from Nanjing to replenish Xu Huizu's troops to 100,000. He wanted to use his absolute advantage to annihilate Zhu Di's army in one fell swoop.

The court wanted to make a contribution in one battle. Zhu Di thought so, so he had no way out. He transferred all the men and horses in Peixian and Xuzhou to Lingbi, all the hot air balloons went to heaven to monitor the enemy situation, and all the Shenji camps were ready to take their place, and all the bullets were fired, and the gunpowder barrels and turbulent oil were also moved to Lingbi. He wanted to fight a decisive battle with Yun Zichen and Xu Huizu's army. Success and failure were here.

"General! Duke An Guo's army has reached thirty miles east of Lingbi, and will reach Lingbi at dusk today!"

In Fengyang City, Xu Huizu heard this news that excited him.

"good!"

Xu Huizu jumped up excitedly. This was the most exciting news he had heard since he entered Fengyang.

In the past few days, the bombing of Zhu Di's Shenji Camp and hot air balloons has made him feel very frustrated, and the city walls have been cut down several feet. These days, he has always been looking forward to leaving the city to have a decisive battle with Zhu Di. However, he is afraid that he will fall into Zhu Di's plan after leaving the city.

But now he is no longer afraid. Zhu Di's army is sieging the city less and less. Obviously, he was threatened by Yun Zichen and began to mobilize troops to deal with Yun Zichen in the east. This just gave him a chance.

"Come here! Send the order! When the sun sets, the whole army leaves the city! Suppress the traitors!" Xu Huizu said loudly, releasing the resentment in his heart.

When the soldiers heard this, they cheered and were beaten these days. They had been held in so much resentment in their hearts, but they were finally released.

So when the sun set, Xu Huizu led an army of 100,000 out of Fengyang in a mighty way. Seeing this, hundreds of people arranged by Zhu Di quickly retreated and fled to Lingbi in a hurry.

"Chasing me! It's just a dead end!"

Xu Huizu sneered. He was no longer worried about Zhu Di's tricks. With Yun Zichen attacking them behind them, even if Zhu Di had a conspiracy, it would be useless.

At the same time, the 100,000 army led by Yun Zichen had arrived in Lingbi and confronted the army led by Zhang Fu.

These two young generals were both arrogant and resentful. They did not confront each other head-on when they were in Jiaohe. Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally will not let it go and started a war east of Lingbi.

But Zhang Fu only had a few thousand troops, so how could he be the opponent of Yun Zichen's 100,000 troops? He had suffered heavy losses after just one hour.

So Zhang Fu had to retreat, otherwise he would have to lose all of it here.

"General, why don't you chase me?"

Seeing that Zhang Fu was defeated, Sheng Yong asked Yun Zichen to pursue him as he took advantage of the victory.

"General Sheng, you have fought with Zhang Fu. Do you think he has the only skill?" Yun Zichen did not order the pursuit, but asked Sheng Yong.

"No, this boy is definitely not a false reputation. If he hadn't underestimated the enemy in the previous stop, the last general might have been left behind." Sheng Yong was still scared when he remembered a fight with Zhang Fu in Jiaohe.

"That's right. Zhang Fu would never be so hard to fight. He just persisted for less than an hour and retreated. There must be an ambush." ​​Yun Zichen said with certainty.

"There is an ambush? What should I do? Will I let them go?" Sheng Yong said.

"Let it go? How is it possible? Even if there is an ambush ahead, we have to make a breakthrough, but now is not the time." Yun Zichen said.

"Hmm? Not time? What does the general mean?" Sheng Yong asked curiously.

"We have started fighting here. Xu Huizu will definitely lead his army out of the city and attack us on both sides." Yun Zichen's eyes flashed.

"What the general means is to let Xu Huizu take the lead?" Sheng Yong's face changed. They had heard about the consequences of the collision between Fengyang Army and Zhu Di's army. They paid a price of 20,000 people and killed hundreds of Zhu Di and asked this army to attack Zhu Di. Isn't that a sheep enters the tiger's mouth?

"Hmph, since Zhu Di set up an ambush, he just wanted to catch us all in one place. As long as we attacked staggeredly, their ambush would naturally have no effect. If we used ambush to deal with Xu Huizu's men, we would use ambush and we would enter and capture Zhu Di all in one place at that time! If he did not use ambush, huh, Xu Huizu's 100,000 men would probably consume tens of thousands of men. So what if there was ambush at that time?" Yun Zichen sneered.

"But General, in this way, then Xu Huizu..."

Sheng Yong's face changed. In this way, Xu Huizu became cannon fodder. If Zhu Di had not used ambush, Yun Zichen would not have sent troops. He would have sent troops until Xu Huizu's men were killed or injured.

"Hmph. In order to defeat Zhu Di in one go, I don't care about so many things. After this battle, I will apologize to the emperor in person!" Yun Zichen snorted coldly. He remembered the Battle of Dongchang. If he was vicious enough, he would dare to lose some more people and attack Sanpingxia earlier, and he would not have the battle today.

So now he must be cruel! No matter how much he loses, he must destroy Zhu Di's entire army!

His decision did push Xu Huizu to a desperate situation.

When Xu Huizu attacked Lingbi with 100,000 troops, he was blocked by Zhu Di's army and could not advance at all. Even the heavily armored cavalry could not capture Zhu Di's position, because before that position, there were many gullies and straws on it. Once the cavalry fell in, it would immediately become a living target. If the infantry fell in, the bamboo tip inside would kill them!

"Fill it for me! Even if it is for human life, you have to fill it out!"

Xu Huizu shouted wildly. Some soldiers took tools to fill the gullies. The soldiers who fell into it would be regarded as a tomb when they died, and those who were not dead were buried alive. Finally, they filled the front.

However, when Xu Huizu ordered a charge, he saw hot air balloons flying from the sky, falling from the hot oil. What followed was the overwhelming rockets. Because his army was too dense, thousands of people were lost, and there was no progress at all.

"Charge me! Take the position! Become a Duke and a Marquis!"

Xu Huizu was already crazy and ordered to continue attacking.

"General! Duke An Guo did not attack at all."

At this moment, a soldier reported to Xu Huizu.

"What!"

When Xu Huizu heard this, he slapped the soldier and slapped him and lie on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Zhu Zi! I want me to be cannon fodder!" Xu Huizu had already understood everything at this moment. Zhu Di drew up his men to set up this ambush. The reason why Yun Zichen did not attack was that he wanted his men to play all Zhu Di's trump cards and then gain the benefits of the fisherman.

"What a calculating! What a calculating!"

Xu Huizu showed determination on his face. Now he had no way out. Zhu Yunwen was helpless to send him to Fengyang. But he was Xu Da's eldest son! His father was the pride of the Ming Dynasty, and he could not be a coward! If he retreated at this time, then Xu Huizu would never be able to raise his head in his life! The Xu family would also be shamed! After his death, he might not even be able to enter the Xu family's ancestral hall.

So even though he knew that he had become cannon fodder, he had to treat this cannon fodder as a good one.

So Xu Huizu pulled out the sword at his waist, a trace of determination appeared on his old face, and pointed at Zhu Di's position ahead.

"Kill the King of Yan! Kill the rebels! Come on me!"

Xu Huizu took the lead, and at this time he had no choice but to use this to show his ambitions.

Seeing that the head coach was rushing forward so far, the soldiers also started to rush up like chicken blood.

"Kill me all except the one who leads you!"

Zhang Yu commanded the army and gave orders to the soldiers, because the one who led it was Xu Huizu, Zhu Di's brother-in-law. Zhu Di had given him an order not to kill Xu Huizu.

Zhu Di escaped from heaven because of such a strange order. He didn't want to let all the soldiers be buried here because of such a strange order.

But he also knew that on the battlefield, there was no eyebrow, let alone a flintlock rifle.

So he gave an order. If Xu Huizu really died, he would be guilty of Zhu Di. Anyway, he had all died once.

"General, Xu Huizu's army is attacking Zhu Di's defense line with no chance. Now it is suffering heavy losses." Yun Zichen's face was a little serious when he listened to the visitor's report. So far, he had not seen any ambush Zhu Di, which made him very uneasy.

"General, do we really have to wait forever!"

Sheng Yong was a little angry. It was indeed a torment to watch his own people die, but he waited peacefully.

"Wait! All are waiting! Without my order, those who send troops without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

Yun Zichen roared loudly and walked towards the front army. (To be continued...)
