Chapter 40: Just kidding

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Neng left behind a group of people to clean the battlefield, regardless of Xiongxian County. They immediately gathered their troops and headed south along the main road, and were ordered to join forces with the main force of the Yan King to attack the reinforcements of the official army.

The troops walked on the post road, lit pine resin torches, and marched in columns. Zhu Gaoxu was naturally surrounded by personal soldiers and horses.

Halfway through the way, Veda caught up with Zhu Gaoxu, walked side by side, and turned to look over. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What do you have to say in Wei Baihu?"

Veda said in a deep voice: "Just finished the war in Xiongxian, Zhang Wu, a thousand households, said bad things about the prince in public..."

"Oh?" Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked sideways. He remembered that when he was receiving the army in Peking, he felt that the generals supported him very much?

Veda continued: "The prince said that the prince was incompetent in the war, and the lucky winner was due to the trick of the king of Yan. He caught the Southern Army off guard while the Mid-Autumn Festival... Zhang Qianhu also said that the prince's military orders on the battlefield were confused and the generals could not argue.

When the prince was in battle, he asked the soldiers to rush, but did not say which one was rushing, and even the soldiers rushed to run around. When the prince arrived at the enemy camp, the soldiers did not know where the chief general was. They sent someone to issue military orders, but did not look for the general. The soldiers below did not know whether they should listen to the prince or their respective generals..."

Wang Bin, who was walking behind Zhu Gaoxu, cursed: "Damn it, is it the prince or Zhang Qianhu? Isn't it obvious to me? We just approached the enemy camp and were suddenly discovered. If we didn't rush up immediately to break the camp suddenly, it would be better to speak first?"

Veda immediately agreed, "That's right! King Yan and Zhu Neng both said that the prince is good at fighting, and only he is the mother Zhang Qianhu is powerful!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt that what Zhang Wu said in Qianhu made some sense. If others didn't say it, just because of his words, it might be because of Zhang Wu's character... Zhu Gaoxu was indeed a little crazy when he went into battle in the first time. Although he had worked very hard, he was really unable to do so to be skilled and perfect.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not "humble" to admit his shortcomings in front of his generals, and admitted that he was not good in the army. It is absolutely impossible to lose his prestige, which will lead to distrust of the soldiers, and the implementation of military orders will become difficult... The soldiers will think like this: You fucking will not fight, I will hold my head and follow you to die in vain?

Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and said, "After all, it is my father's escort, and he is more willing to obey his father."

...

Most of the Zhengzhou army in the south have crossed Yueyang Bridge, and those who commanded the troops Pan Zhong and Yang Song. They do not know the specific situation in Xiong County. They have many infantry soldiers under their command, and torches along the way are like long fire dragons.

Pan Zhong rode on the horse, looked back at the arch bridge on the river, and said to Yang Song: "I am most afraid of water when leading troops."

Yang Song pretended to be relaxed and joked: "Is it because General Pan's surname is filled with water?"

After a joke, Pan Zhong said seriously: "It seems to be true! My father fell into the water and was caught and killed by the enemy soldiers!"

Yang Song shook his head and said, "It's just a coincidence. There are many people with surnames with water."

At this time, Yang Song asked in a low voice: "Before leaving, General Pan met the Marquis of Changxing. I want to ask something. What if we meet the King of Yan, what should we do?"

Pan Zhong said: "The Marquis of Changxing really said this... The emperor has a secret decree: Don't let me be called "killing my uncle."

Yang Song glared and said, "What does it mean?"

Pan Zhong said: "The Marquis of Changxing told the generals privately that they would kill them when they saw the King of Yan! Don't catch them alive. Yan Ni has rebelled, and this is the top crime. If they are captured, General Yang will tell you, the emperor will kill them or not?"

Yang Song suddenly said, "That's the reason... But, if you kill the enemy commander, how can the emperor not be appointed as a marquis?"

"General Yang thought too beautifully! Yan Ni was always the son of the emperor. Can he be granted a marquis if he killed him?" Pan Zhong said.

As he was talking, Pan Zhong suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly stopped listening. After a while, someone shouted: "General, there seems to be something moving in the north!"

Pan Zhong hurriedly shouted: "Tell the entire army to stop immediately and form a formation on the spot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden sound of killing came from behind him. Pan Zhong shouted "No," and immediately called the people around him, left the road, and turned south. He turned around and shouted, "General Yang set up the formation, I'll take back the retreat!"

When Pan Zhong led his troops to Yueyang Bridge, he saw the firearms on both sides of the straits shining and the swords and soldiers were waving. The two armies had already started fighting. The official army was suddenly attacked, and the team was in chaos. He retreated to the north shore while fighting.

"The person who retreats backs!" Pan Zhong shouted, pulled out the arrow from the quiver, kicked the horse and rushed to the bridge.

Pan Zhong fired several arrows in succession, drew his sword and waved it in front of the horse, shouting: "This bridge must not be lost. Brothers, fight with me to fight the enemy bravely! Those who retreat, don't blame me for the ruthless sword!"

However, the Yan army was fierce, and the Southern Army's troops on Yueyang Bridge were already defeated, and the defeated troops were crowded to the north.

Several officials and soldiers holding muskets made a few sounds at the Yan soldiers rushing over, but the Yan soldiers followed one after another and immediately attacked again. Holding the musket without gunpowder, the soldiers of the official soldiers turned around and ran away. Pan Zhong cursed and slashed a person with a knife.

Unexpectedly, the horse was suddenly hit by the rampant army, and the war horse was shocked. Pan Zhong did not pay attention and fell off the horse's back.

"Damn it!" Pan Zhong cursed in the air, and immediately fell into the river with a "splash". He was wearing heavy armor and suddenly fell into the water, as if he had been tied to a stone and sinking into the river. Pan Zhong thrust a few times, but he couldn't float up.

At this moment, a few mouths suddenly appeared in the water plants in the river. They swam over and caught Pan Zhong with a net. Pan Zhong immediately dragged to the south bank like a fish.

After being dragged ashore, he immediately began to struggle desperately, but he was wet all over, his armor and clothes were heavier, and the light was dimmed. He struggled for a while but could not remove the fishing net on his body. Then several Yan soldiers rushed over and pressed Pan Zhong to the ground, tied the ropes. Pan Zhong finally gave up resisting, looked at the river without blinking, and sighed: "Is it fate?"

On the north bank of Yueyang Bridge in the night, the fire shone for a while. After a long time, Yang Song was tied up. Zhang Bao, the general who had just come from Zhending, was also tied up.

Surrounded by the cavalry, a big man in heavy armor rode his horse over and pointed at them with a horse whip and said, "Surrender and avoid death!"

Yang Song raised his head desperately and cursed: "Yan Ni!"

The man immediately became furious and ordered: "Cut it!"

When it was Pan Zhong's turn, Pan Zhong saw that his companion would rather die than surrender, so he said, "I will not surrender, nor will I scold the King of Yan. Please go to the river to die!"

At this moment, the general named Zhang Bao shouted: "King Yan, please spare me!"

"Fuck! Cartilage!" Pan Zhong couldn't help but curse.
