Weihu Town.

Li Jin's urgent voice came, "Sir, you have found traces of large-scale cavalry."

Hearing that it was Li Jin's voice, Zhu Zhen quickly got up and ordered someone to bring Li Jin in.

Li Jin's face became a little purple due to the cold outside, and Zhu Zhen immediately poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Warm your body first."

Li Jin suddenly drank two mouthfuls, held the kettle with both hands, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, things are a little bad. I discovered a large-scale cavalry."

"cavalry?

How many people?"

Zhu Zhen signaled Hu Er to call on others, and then continued to listen to Li Jin's report on the situation.

"The enemy's speed is too fast, and it's elite at first glance. I dare not raise it close to the reconnaissance, but it always depends on the situation and there are three thousand people."

"Three thousand people?

Do three thousand people dare to come and find my brows?"

Zhu Zhen frowned, not sure what the other party had to do.

"Sir, it's not here.

It's west."

"West?"

Something flashed through Zhu Zhen’s mind immediately.

"Hurry, all officers above a hundred households come to me immediately to discuss military information."

The officers who were rushing to look at each other, and then Zhu Muying asked after rescue, "Brother Zhen, did you find the enemy?"

Zhu Zhen spread out the military situation map and drew an arc on it, "A cavalry is telling the movement to the west."

"Hiss" everyone in the field immediately took a breath of cold air.

None of the people present was a newcomer on the battlefield. How could he not understand the reason why the enemy moved westward?

I can only say that this time I really met an opponent.

"Shooting the sword to Hengnan County?

This time we have encountered a tough guy!”

"right."

Zhu Zhen had heard the sound of soldiers gathering, and he said with a bright look: "The enemy's target must be a sneak attack on Hengnan County."

At this time, Zhu Ping'an also rushed over. The guy seemed to be holding makeup in the military camp. Because he was running fast, the petals of the dry chrysanthemum on his head were scattered. After hearing Zhu Zhen's words, he said with some concern: "The enemy may attack Hengnan County, or it may be that he wanted to ambush us halfway. It is not safe to send troops in the middle of the night."

Junshan reinforcements were mainly infantry. If they encountered ambush from cavalry on the way, they would be life-threatening.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhu Zhen, waiting for his orders.

...In the vast snow, Hengnan County is like a gluttonous beast in the ancient mountain and sea classics. After devouring countless lives, it lies quietly in the plain to rest.

Not far from the east of Hengnan County, three strong men were feeding their horses, smashing eggs, stirring bean flour, and feeding the horses.

In addition, cavalrymen brought a lot of water to replenish the war horses.

"Liu Qi, Zhang Shicheng's cavalry is coming soon. Do we want to notify Wang Kan?"

"No."

A man with a sinister expression looked coldly at the cavalry running towards Hengnan County silently and said lightly: "Wang Kan, after all, is just a fenceist.

Such people are not worth our concern.

Moreover, when Wang Kan died, Zhu Zhen’s good days were over, so we could watch the show with peace of mind.”

Another man smiled and said, "Wang Kan thought that pushing Zhu Zhen out would attract all the firepower, but he forgot that Li Bosheng is an ambitious person. Not to mention Zhu Zhen, even if he was Wang Kan, in Li Bosheng's opinion, it was just the flesh in his mouth."

After a moment of silence, the sinister man said again, "Ping Zhang's chance is here."

"Then send someone back to report to Pingzhang first and let him prepare early."

Wang Kan drank some wine today and was resting in the barracks. He knew that after the large-scale reinforcements came back to Hengnan County after rest, there would be nothing he had done here.

Moreover, I have been responsible for defending Hengnan County at critical moments, and I will undoubtedly have my own military achievements.

The night was dark, and the soldiers who were watching were hiding under the wall and huddled to rest.

Dozens of cavalry wrapped in cloth under their feet quietly touched the bottom of the city, put the rope on the city wall, and then drove away the war horses. The wall of Hengnan County fell to the ground.

This was one of the reasons why Li Bosheng deliberately gave up Hengnan County at that time. The city walls were no longer strong. They deliberately blocked the huge gap with firewood and repainted it to paralyze the opponent.

Wang Kan also thought he had obtained a bargain and did not carefully check the city.

The city wall fell to the ground, making a loud noise, awakening the sleeping soldiers.

"What's going on?"

"Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"

The soldiers who were patrolling the night heard the sound, shook the torch in their hands, and patrolled everywhere in panic.

A dense cluster of arrows came from the black shadow, directly shooting the night patrol soldiers into hedgehogs.

The soldiers who were not found in other directions listened to the urgent shooting sound and immediately opened their mouths and shouted loudly: "The big thing is not good, the enemy will attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

More and more soldiers reacted and joined the battle group in a hurry.

Hengnan County immediately shouted and shouted.

Wang Kan could be today, naturally, not an incompetent person. After hearing the shouts of killing, his first reaction was not to escape, but to immediately put on his own armor and summoned his personal soldiers to kill him from the barracks.

"Sir! The city wall has collapsed! Zhang Shicheng's personal soldiers have entered the city."

The personal soldiers' expressions were a little flustered.

The sound of horse hooves was everywhere, and Wang Kan knew what was going on without reporting from his subordinates.

Wang Kan calmed down, looked at the panicked subordinates, and shouted sternly: "At this time, fear will only make everyone die together, cheer me up and drive the enemy out of the city."

The officers woke up amid Wang Kan's stern scolding and summoned their personal soldiers to gather their soldiers.

These soldiers who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight south and north had already come into contact with the enemy. Although they could not find the officer in panic, relying on years of war experience, everyone began to spontaneously organize military formations to resist the cavalry's sprint.

But after all, it was in the dark and was caught off guard by the enemy, so even if there was defense, the effect was not great.

In the dark night, the cavalry, who had the initiative, attacked the weak army without hesitation.

"So loyal to the King of Wu!"

"It's time to make achievements."

"Those who kill Wang Kan will be promoted to three levels and will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver."

Although the soldiers in the front row were trying their best to kill, the enemy still charged forward with desperate efforts, which made the temporarily gathered military formation shaking.

"Fuck, what a coward Zhang is going to beat me, brothers, come and fight me!"

A hundred households took the lead in the battle and led their brothers to charge forward fearlessly.

More than a hundred people rushed out of the military formation. Although they did not kill many cavalry, they effectively hindered the time for the cavalry to attack, reassembled the brothers in the back team and organized the military formation.

Zhang Shicheng's cavalry over there quickly fired two bows and arrows.

Looking at the soldiers who fell to the ground, the leader of the cavalry shouted: "Crush them!"

The horse's hooves were galloping freely, and the enemy on the horse's back waved the sword in his hand. Under the light of the fire, there were hideous smiling faces.

The soldiers of Hengnan County knew that things had reached this point and it was impossible to escape. They could only fight to the death and instantly burst out with a strong momentum.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely strict in his command, and most of these officers took the lead at critical moments.

Officers like the general flag and the small flag rushed forward even more desperately.

"Grandpa is a veteran who has followed the Duke to kill thieves in the Duke's village. It's so fucking in vain!"

A flag lying in a pool of blood and was caught in a pool of arrows, said unwillingly.

"I, Chen Ernian, killed eight of them today, and it's enough to die."

Another hundred household fell to the ground and was trampled into meat paste by cavalry.

More than 80% of the soldiers from several hundred households near the city wall died, but what Zhang Shicheng's subordinates did not expect was that their cavalry actually lost more than 600 people.

The battle situation is absolutely tragic.

Zhang Shicheng's cavalry general looked at the area in the center of the city, then looked at the brothers lying on the road, and burned in anger and shouted, "Kill them and take them away, treasures and food."

"kill!"

The cavalry set up their formation and began to charge on the wide main road of Hengnan County.
