Chapter 109: Sober in the World, Zhu Yuanzhang(1/2)
We are outnumbered and the situation is not good.
Tang He was under great pressure. If Shao Rong and Zhao Jizu were allowed to escape, these thousands of Haozhou red scarves would fall into the hands of Liu Futong, and they might become the vanguard of the attack on Zhu's army.
No matter what, you can’t let go!
"Everyone mount up and attack with my whole army!"
Tang He took the lead, and the following soldiers, like wolves and tigers, passed through the city from Huaiyuan and followed the vortex river in pursuit.
In order to show his military power, Tang He brought all the elites.
It will soon be clear how capable these Zhu Jiajun elites are.
Shao Rong and Zhao Jizu led their soldiers and horses towards Bozhou. After walking for more than twenty miles, the soldiers became exhausted and shouted for rest. They had no choice but to let the soldiers bury pots to make rice and eat first.
It was a pity for these two people. If it were later, or if Guo Zixing died, they could invite Liu Futong to send troops to occupy Huaiyuan.
"No matter what, we can't be subordinate to the little thief Tu Tu! We can't afford to lose this person!"
Shao Rong spat fiercely, his eyes full of ferocity.
At this time, a horseman ran over in a hurry.
"Oops, Tang He is coming after me!"
"Tanghe?"
Shao Rong became even more furious, "He is just one of my subordinates. It is not his turn to be cruel! Come on!"
Shao Rong called his men and prepared to fight.
But before they had finished gathering, Tang He had already led his troops and came, shaking the world.
Five hundred cavalrymen had the effect of rushing out thousands of troops.
The men screamed and the horses neighed, and the weapons shone with cold light. This was not a group of people, they were clearly a group of ferocious beasts!
He wears armor all over his body, holds a sharp sword, and rides a carefully selected war horse.
Coupled with more than a year of training, these cavalrymen are like magic weapons, and it is finally time to drink blood.
"kill!"
Tang He took the lead and rushed over.
Some soldiers tried to block it, but were instantly overwhelmed by the oncoming cavalry, without even a splash... Tang He led his troops to rush forward, and those soldiers who were still eating were so frightened that they ran away in panic.
Seeing the entire army defeated, Shao Rong couldn't help it and rushed forward himself.
Among his soldiers, there were many archers with excellent archery skills, and they immediately shot at Tang He's army.
Logically speaking, Tang He should be afraid of bows and arrows, right?
No!
They have enough confidence in the armor they wear.
Sure enough, after a round of shooting, only a few people were injured, and the army's forward momentum did not slow down at all.
"Grandpa also lets you have a taste of arrows!"
Tang He only fired the first and only round of arrows when he entered thirty steps.
They did not choose a projectile with a longer range, but tried their best to pursue the killing effect.
There is no distinction between good and bad tactics. It just depends on how well the equipment is trained and whether it can bring out its own strengths. Zhu Jiajun has armor on his body and can defend against most of the damage. In this case, he has nothing to fear!
After a round of arrows, there were dozens fewer soldiers around Shao Rong, and his expression also changed.
Tang He didn't allow him to think too much and urged his horse with all his strength to kill him.
The two sides fought hand to hand, and almost instantly, a dozen of Shao Rong's cronies were killed. These Zhu Jiajun were like monsters. Ordinary weapons could not kill them at all, and they could not even injure them seriously.
Zhu Jiajun, on the other hand, likes to charge in groups. A wave of dozens of people is like a heavy hammer, one hit, one hit, and another hit!
Shao Rong tried his best to greet him, shouting for people to rush forward and stop Tang He.
But soon these soldiers were overwhelmed, their efforts were completely useless, and they were destined to die.
Shao Rong showed a look of fear and uneasiness. They were both from the same red scarf, so how could the gap be so big?
His horse kept retreating. Just when Tang He broke through the defense line, Shao Rong's defense line collapsed in his heart. He turned around and ran away. Later, his cronies also ran away.
On the other side, Zhao Jizu ran faster.
More than 5,000 people instantly lost their order and became a mess. Some people fled and some knelt down to ask for surrender. It was a chaotic mess.
Tang He saw this and was worried.
"General Zhu is kind and generous, surrender without killing!"
"Kneel down to the side of the road, we don't have time to capture you!"
"Get out of the way! Let Shao Rong go, and I'll hold you accountable!"
"Wait by the side of the road. I'll come back and capture you!"
…
Tang He shouted at the top of his lungs, and his soldiers followed suit.
Upon hearing this, many soldiers were very obedient. They squatted on the roadside, threw their weapons on the ground, and let out a long sigh. They even started chatting with their companions with interest.
But now I can take refuge with General Zhu, and I no longer have to suffer from hunger and anger. This hard life is finally over!
The soldiers were in twos and threes, as if celebrating the New Year.
As for Shao Rong, his mood was like a grave. What happened? How could Tang He be so good at fighting?
I'm still not convinced!
Don't run away, fight them!
Shao Rong still wanted to risk his life, but his men were almost gone.
At this moment, Tang He separated into a hundred households and pursued from the flanks, forming a fan surface and pressing hard. Gradually, the net tightened, and Shao Rong was like a fish, trapped in the middle.
He suddenly realized that he was cornered, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Grandpa is not convinced! Grandpa will fight with you!"
He turned around and rushed towards Tang He... This former general of ten thousand households in Haozhou City, second only to several marshals, died under Tang He's sword.
He stared until he died!
"Go to the underworld and ask the Lord of Hell!"
Tang He spat at his corpse... gathered the troops. There were originally more than 5,000 troops. In addition to the hundreds of people who died in the battle with Shao Rong, there were also some who escaped. In the end, there were almost 4,000 people who were gathered and captured.
These people don't even have much frustration. Take us to join General Zhu! We can't wait!
Tang He defeated more with less, completely letting the people in Huaiyuan see Zhu Yuanzhang's strength.
Even the thousands of people who originally followed Guo Zixing have switched sides.
As of now, Guo Zixing has become a polished commander.
Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou were both panic-stricken and helpless.
They were afraid that Lao Zhu would settle old scores and kill them to vent his anger!
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sneer. They are all a bunch of fools. At this time, they still want to go against Zhu Yuanzhang? You deserve it! Why do I have to marry my daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang? Even if she is a concubine, I will admit it.
Don’t you still want to seize this little bit of friendship and preserve your family?
The handsome man is old and has only a few days to live.
But if others still want to live, if they have to find trouble with Zhu Yuanzhang, they have to seek their own death.
Ma Yatou is kind and virtuous, and is a very good wife. It was Zhu Yuanzhang's blessing to marry her. But then again, with Zhu Yuanzhang's status, he had only three wives and four concubines.
It is absolutely impossible to have only one lady.
In this case, it is also a good thing for the Ma family to let his god-sister marry Zhu Yuanzhang, which is convenient for controlling Zhu Yuanzhang. With one god-daughter and one biological daughter, with these two children, the Guo family will not be extinct.
As expected of a powerful character who can control Guo Zixing, Zhang has planned a perfect strategy that even Ma may not be able to refuse.
It's just that Ma missed one person, and that was Zhang Ximeng!
When he received the battle report from Tang He, he found that he had fulfilled his wish and got the official position of the capital commander. He also got rid of Shao Rong and brought a group of troops from Huaiyuan under his control. He was quite happy.
But when he saw the end, Marshal Guo's daughter was going to marry a superior, and Tang He was personally escorting her back to Chuzhou, Zhang Ximeng immediately became angry!
How come this Tang He dares to accept anything? He is so confused!
He thought for a while and immediately wrote to Tang He, asking him to settle all the troops in Huaiyuan in Dingyuan, and then return to Chuzhou alone to discuss important matters.
After Tang He received the letter, he pondered for a moment, and then his face became very ugly.
It stands to reason that when it comes to the movement of soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang should have issued the warrant. Why is there only a letter from Zhang Ximeng?
This is not common sense!
Does Tang He dare to disobey?
To be continued...
