Chapter 43: House of Flying Daggers

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

As the smoke of gunpowder spreads around Zhending City, the sound of killing shook the sky. The bowl guns and Hongwu cannons kept roaring, and the stone bullets flew into the air and fell into the sea of ​​people, but they fell into the sea like stones.

The main force of the official army is known as 300,000, and the Yan army is known as 200,000, but the actual number of people should be as large as 200,000! Two hundred thousand people gathered at Zhending City, not to mention that the main killing weapons at this time were only ten to dozens of steps, and the surging people was like a tide!

Geng Bingwen pressed the hilt of the Yanling knife with his left hand and kept walking behind the battlements of the city wall. His two white eyebrows had already squeezed together.

He looked down and saw a mess under the city wall on the west side. A red flag rushed forward like a huge arrowhead, leading a cavalry to rush left and right as if entering a nobody's land. The infantry around had no formation, and he held various weapons and only carved for besieging the "red flag" from several sides. The cavalry drove over, and the officials retreated one after another. The cavalry suddenly turned and rushed to the infantry on the other side to scatter.

The cavalry rushed from the west like a flood, causing chaos on the west side of the official army formation. The infantry around ran around the plains like frightened ant colony.

Geng Bingwen used his wrinkled fingers and said, "Although the right-wing Zhang Yu is fierce, he is not as fierce as the son of King Yan."

At this moment, a voice suddenly replied: "King Gaoyang is known as brave and can be regarded as a powerful general, but it is still a little worse than being inferior to the lower class."

Geng Bingwen turned his head and saw that he was talking. Ping An was very thick and thick. Although there was a layer of armor on his arms, his muscles even stretched out. The two armbands were thicker than ordinary people's thighs! This man's father was called Ping Ding, and Ping Ding looked unusual, which was unusual. Taizu was shocked to the heavens and insisted on adopting him as his adopted son. Ping An also looked similar to his father, very burly and stubborn.

Geng Bingwen glanced at Ping'an and said, "If King Gaoyang is forced to the central army and the King of Yan is attacking head-on, the situation will be dangerous! We must reinforce the left wing."

Ping'an immediately clasped his fists and said, "The last general asked for a fight, and lead the cavalry out of the city to fight with King Gaoyang!"

Geng Bingwen pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to follow the Duke of Wei, and torture elite troops to siege this man, put him to death, and cut off Yan Ni's arm!"

After saying that, he showed murderous aura and raised his hand to slash down, "Come here, I will order the general Sheng Yong to go to the north of Gaoyang King to supervise the battle, gather the infantry army to block the Yan army and block the Gaoyang King's way!"

"Get orders!"

Geng Bingwen looked at Ping'an again, "Sheng Yong is versatile and has a lot of rules in command of infantry. If King Gaoyang wants to detour through the northern formation, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky! At this time, Ping'an leads the elite cavalry out of Zhenyuan Gate to block his way back! I went out of Yong'an Gate, drumming the morale of the army, and counterattacked the west side. It is difficult for King Gaoyang to fly with his wings!"

Ping An clasped his fists and said, "The last general is in charge! However, the central army is in a thick state, so the old general doesn't have to work hard. Just look at how we can defeat King Gaoyang!"

Geng Bingwen nodded slightly, stroked his white beard, and said, "The King of Yan and his son are here to fight. At this time, the morale of the Yan army is very strong. I am sixty-five years old this year, so why not be as brave as the King of Yan? It is enough to call Marquis Wuding in the city to take charge."

He looked at the vast battlefield and said seriously: "I have been under the heavy responsibility of the court, but I dare not live without my life? I hope you will fight hard to kill the enemy to repay the emperor's kindness!"

Ping An stared at the tiger's eyes and clasped his fists and said, "Get orders!"

...Sheng Yong was ordered to come to the battlefield, rode his horse through the formation, and issued brief military orders everywhere. He didn't say much, and he didn't necessarily just talk to the generals, but when the military formation was shaken, he could always rush over quickly and shout and point out the key joints.

The left-wing phalanxes actually adjusted their direction one after another, and fought fiercely with the Yan army in the front from the north; the back phalanxes turned towards the city wall, guarding them with spears, muskets, bows and arrows, facing the Yan army cavalry that broke into the formation.

At that time, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops, using Quan Yong team, the left Qian General Camp and the right Qian General Camp as the front and back ladders, and entered the depth of the Southern Army's formation from the west. Many square formations near the city wall were defeated one after another.

Seeing that the depth of the rush was almost the same, Zhu Gaoxu stopped assaulting the central army of the official army and turned around and surrounded the circle. According to the tactics that had been agreed in advance, Zhang Wujun would turn at this time, attack the other phalanxes in the north and attack on the back of the two sides to break the west side of the official army!

Unexpectedly, he found that the attack was blocked. The square formations in the north were like iron barrels, as if they were not at the same level as the people and horses they had just defeated! Zhu Gaoxu repeatedly rushed to the ground, but still could not break the nearby square formation.

He led the Quan Yong team to retreat a little, rushed for a while in the collapsed riot army, and turned to observe again.

The position of the blue flag to the west is the cavalry of Zhang Wumen. The green flags move back and forth, but cannot move northward!

The attack was blocked! Can you still achieve your goal after persisting? On the battlefield, there are thousands of troops and the smoke is unpredictable.

Zhu Gaoxu had a brief blank in his mind. He had not yet fully understood the specific situation... If he could have defeated the blockbuster phalanx in the north and expanded the results of the battle, he would have missed the opportunity to fight because he missed the opportunity.

However, the square formation in the distance in the north has slowly advanced towards this side. If they cannot be defeated, Zhu Gaoxu's cavalry activity space will be greatly compressed and become infantry riding on horseback!

Zhu Gaoxu was sweating heavily on his forehead, and the sweat flowed to the blood on his face and dripped onto his breastplate.

Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and soon had his own point of view: as the main general of an army, he could not set up a formation, because there were always people in his subordinates, and he could have mediocre force as long as he did not run to the front... But the main general must make a decision on the spot! Because only the main general has the power of military power.

Even if it is wrong or even if it is criticized, you must make a decision! Even if it is a wrong judgment, it is better than not to judge!

"Send the entire army to the future, and the army will be the front army, and all the troops will change directions and break out to the west!" Zhu Gaoxu shouted.

"Get orders!"

The Quan Yong team turned around in the second rush, and Zhu Gaoxu led his personal troops to rush west, and soon crossed the Quan Yong team from the side. At this time, Zhang Wu's subordinates turned around in the west.

"Boom boom boom boom..." The cannons on the city wall sounded again. The stone cannonballs were shot into the crowd, and sometimes they could still kill people, but the shooting speed and lethality were very limited. In fact, there were very few people who could kill them. Among the thousands of troops, the main reason was to intimidate... The Yan army, which had a scale of tens of thousands of people, had a very small probability of being hit by each person, but the huge cannon sound was easy for people to ignore the fact that the probability was!

Zhu Gaoxu moved closer to Zhang Wu's camp, but saw the green flag patroling! The cavalry moved very quickly on the battle formation. What was his mother Zhang Wu doing? Could it be that Zhang Wu still dared to disobey the battle?

Zhu Gaoxu rushed to the range of Zuoying's activities and shouted loudly: "Why doesn't Zuoqian General Camp leave?"

A group of people came back from the west jogging, and a general in charge replied loudly: "The rear route was blocked by the official cavalry in the west, and the right camp could not win, so it was killed indefinitely!"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu called Wang Bin and others beside him and took his personal soldiers to cross the position of Zuoying's troops. He slapped the horse and rushed straight to the west, and saw countless cavalry retreating to this side.

The easiest way to distinguish it from the iron helmet is that the hat brim of the Southern Army is wider, so Zhu Gaoxu determined that these men and horses were the Yan Army. After a moment, he saw the green flag swaying among them, which was the eight hundred cavalry of the Right Camp.

"Aren't you the elite guards of King Yan? Let's run away!" Zhu Gaoxu cursed and slapped his horse and rushed straight to the west.

The triangular red flag was flying, and a group of iron cavalry, like wolves and tigers, rushed towards Zhu Gaoxu. In the smoke, the Southern Army cavalry was chasing him!

Zhu Gaoxu raised his newly replaced cherry gun, stabbed it into the air, and shouted: "Kill!"

The two armies rode their horses closer, and Zhu Gaoxu used the same trick again and continued to slap the horses and accelerate. With the speed of the war horses, he took the lead in the call! "Da Da Da..." The heavy voice of the iron hoof was deafening.

The rapid wind made him feel a little difficult to breathe, and his blood was also surging rapidly. Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, raised the cherry gun, and brought it to his armpit. "Bang!" The right hand holding the gun slid forward, and he immediately let go of his palm and stretched out smoothly to his shoulders. He had done this movement many times, and was very skillful. He was about to grab the hilt of the sabre!

"Swish!" A sword light flashed, and a black shadow shook in front of his eyes. Zhu Gaoxu slashed down with a knife. "Cang!" The violent trembling made his tiger's mouth numb, and his whole arm trembled.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly glanced at the blade, and a big hole broke out, as if a bite of a tooth was missing! My grass? Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse and glanced back.

A fierce man also turned around. The guy seemed to be putting a square iron ingot on a big horse, holding an iron shield in one hand and a heavy axe in the other. His outrageously thick arm flashed through Zhu Gaoxu's mind.

And in an instant, Zhu Gaoxu discovered that he had become alone? Only empty horses left on both sides followed! After a while, Wang Bin waited for several cavalry to shout and kill one person to catch up. Wang Bin's eyes turned red.

The man who was just taking the call just now waved left and right, and in a short while, several people were killed. The horse was also blocked from a distance, scolding him and turning his head around. The man shouted, "King Gaoyang, let's fight again!"

Zhu Gaoxu knew it was worth it after taking one move, and thought to himself: I'm fighting with you to waste time, waiting for the entire army to be surrounded?

He shouted, "Who is coming?" while looking at the empty space and want to kill him back, and then flash his mind first.

The fierce man said, "I am Ping'an, my father is the adopted son of your grandfather. King Gaoyang must call me brother!"

"My emperor's ancestor raised you father and son, just to let you harm his descendants?" Zhu Gaoxu slapped his horse and rushed to the south, beheading the two of them, and shouted without looking back.

Ping An's voice said: "The current saint is the common ruler of the world, that's what your Grandpa Huang wants!"

Judging from the sound, the guy was not far away and was catching up.
