Daming: From the end of Hongwu

299 Chapter 297 - Serious Injury and Great Victory

On the battlefield outside Dongchang City, the bustling soldiers and horses of both sides were all mixed together, the smoke and dust filled the air, and the bloody battle continued.

Countless troops from the Southern Army flocked towards Zhu Di, and all the ministries closely entangled Zhu Di in it, forming a core encirclement circle. On the periphery, because of the rescue by Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and others, and Sheng Yong's deployment of troops, Soon, the scuffle between the two sides stretched out a long way.

Zhu Di was fighting and retreating in a panic at the moment, thinking about rushing out of the battlefield, but as time passed, there were more and more soldiers and horses of the Southern Army around him. The soldiers and horses were trapped in the entire battlefield, while resisting other southern troops, while frantically attacking the northeast corner of the encirclement, trying to rush in from the northeast corner to rescue Zhu Di.

But the core of the southern army surrounded Zhu Di like an iron barrel, no matter how brave he was, he couldn't rush in.

Just when the two sides were entangled and Zhu Di became more and more dangerous, a cavalry force of more than [-] soldiers inserted into the battlefield at an unstoppable speed from Sheng Yong's rear.

Their goal is clear, which is to head towards the artillery camp not far from the northeast corner of the core encirclement.

This group of people is exactly Xue Lu.

Countless southern soldiers were shocked, why did the Yan army come behind them, what did the rear army do for food, why didn't they stop them, and why didn't they have any warning.

This cavalry army seemed to appear from behind them out of nowhere, and it dealt them a heavy blow as soon as it appeared.

Xue Lu didn't care at all how shocked the other party was. After he rushed over with his soldiers and horses, all the people he met naturally turned into cold killing machines, advancing towards the artillery barracks at the fastest speed.

The artillery battalion is not good at melee combat at all, and all the troops around them rushed to attack Zhu Di, Zhu Neng and others. Only a few troops were left to protect them, but Xue Lu killed the troops who were protecting them. After wearing them, their results can already be imagined.

The entire artillery battalion was turned upside down by Xue Luchong's men in an instant.

Soon.

The artillery barracks was already burning with raging flames.

When the soldiers of the artillery battalion saw the flames gradually spreading towards the ammunition, they didn't need Xue Lu to do anything, they were the first to start running for their lives in panic.

"Run, the ammunition department is about to catch fire."

"Run, if you don't run, the shell will explode."

The soldiers of the artillery battalion of the Southern Army rushed to each other and shouted, and the entire artillery battalion was in chaos for a while.

Seeing this, Xue Lu didn't stay any longer, and moved his troops towards Zhu Neng's place. He had seen Zhu Neng attacking the northeast corner of the encirclement for a long time, and now he was not far away, so naturally he wanted to join his troops.

His subordinates are all cavalry, and when no one is resisting, he can run much faster than the soldiers of the artillery battalion.

After Xue Lu led his troops out for a while, the artillery battalion finally exploded for the first time.

Countless soldiers looked towards the sound, and then they looked terrified again. They all panicked when they heard the continuous sound of cannons one after another.

This battle is really bloody lively.

Wilder than any fight ever fought before.

After hearing this voice, Sheng Yong's expression changed drastically. He asked furiously, "What's going on? Why did the artillery battalion fire again?"

At this time, the deputy general rushed in: "The general is not good, two Yan troops rushed from behind us, one has rushed to the artillery camp, and burned all the artillery camp, and the other is coming towards the general, It's getting closer now."

"How could someone rush from the rear? Isn't this a big joke in the world? Impossible, it's simply impossible." Sheng Yong was furious and puzzled.

The lieutenant said with a bitter face: "General, don't look for reasons. It's true. Now the opponent is getting closer. General, do you want to avoid the edge first?"

"avoid?"

Sheng Yong was even angrier: "Why should I avoid it? Do you fucking know that if I avoid it, all the advantages accumulated before will be wiped out."

He pulled out his waist knife with a groan, pointed at the lieutenant general, and said viciously: "I don't care what method you use, I will fight back this group of people, if you let this group of people influence me to catch Zhu Di, I will cut off your head with my own hands .”

The deputy general looked at Sheng Yong as if he was going to eat people, he didn't dare to say anything else, he quickly clasped his fists to accept the order, hurried down and summoned his men to stop Zhen Wu.

And Zhu Neng.

Xue Lu had already rushed over to join Zhu Neng, Zhu Neng beheaded a soldier on the other side, took the right time to get close to Xue Lu, he looked at Xue Lu anxiously and suspiciously and asked: "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be guarding Jinan City? Could there be something wrong with Jinan City?"

Xue Lu shook his head and said, "Jinan City is fine. As for me, it's a long story. Let's save His Highness first."

Hearing what Xue Lu said, Zhu Neng could only put down the doubts in his heart, and once again bravely charged towards the encirclement. However, at this moment, there was a loophole in the northeast corner of the encirclement because of the explosion of the nearby artillery battalion. Being able to seize the opportunity with Xue Lu is like the dozens of them who fearlessly attacked Geng Bingwen's tens of thousands of troops before, fearless of death.

It seems that the Titans have a halo buff effect on the soldiers, and the soldiers under their command have become more and more unstoppable along with Zhu Neng and Xue Lu.

I don't know how long it took.

Finally they rushed into the encirclement, and then they quickly joined Zhu Di, protected Zhu Di and others and began to break out again, and the direction they chose this time was the direction Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to attack bravely.

This time, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu fought back and forth. After paying a terrible price, they finally beat the Southern Army to the pain, and they rushed out of the encirclement with a howl.

The southern army pursued them, and they ran wildly.

As the one who cut off the queen, he successfully blocked the queen of the southern army.

Zhu Di and the others breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and Zhu Di, who had survived the catastrophe, looked around and looked at the army he had accumulated over the past ten years. I couldn't help crying for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhu Neng and others stepped forward to persuade: "Your Highness, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. It doesn't matter if you lose this battle. I will wait until the worst is the case and come back after reorganizing the army."

Zhu Di nodded. He also knew that he was not weak at the moment, so he regained his composure. But when he turned his head, he found Zhu Gaoxu who was even more embarrassed than him, and couldn't help feeling sad again: "It hurts my son, it hurts my son."

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head. Although he was in a mess, Gu Pan was still extremely brave, just like Zhu Di when he was young. Seeing this scene, Zhu Di's sadness seemed to be relieved, and he felt much better all of a sudden.

But this time.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly yelled: "Not good."

Zhu Di looked over.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The lieutenant general's troops have attracted a large part of the Southern Army's entanglement. I guess they are still trapped in the battlefield and cannot get out? Father, see if we charge for a while and create an opportunity for the lieutenant general to escape."

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became tangled in his heart.

To be honest, this battle has been fought so far, their entire Yan army has been messed up, and the defeat is obvious. The best choice is to get out in time and save most of them, so as not to be chased by the southern army.

But Zhu Di hasn't made up his mind on this idea yet.

Xue Lu also suddenly said anxiously to Zhu Di at this moment: "Your Highness, our right general is also in the formation now, and we don't know what's going on now."

"what?"

Zhu Di was shocked: "Why did he appear here? Didn't I ask him to guard Jinan City?"

Xue Lu explained: "After we discovered Sheng Yong's actions, we took the initiative to send troops to harass Sheng Yong's food road. Later, General You saw that the effect of harassing the food road was not good, so he took me to follow Sheng Yong's ass all the time. Later, I wanted to respond to His Royal Highness from the rear during the battle. After the battle started, the right general and I split into two places. I attacked the artillery battalion to attract attention, while our right general went straight to Sheng Yong, intending to Sheng Yong was beheaded."

Kill Sheng Yong? !

Zhu Neng and Zhu Gaoxu were shocked when they heard these words. This style of behavior really echoed Zhen Wu's style, and only a perverted guy like Zhen Wu would want to kill the opponent's general at every turn.

Xue Lu said again: "General Right and I rushed from the rear, and Sheng Yong's rear army did not stop us. With the bravery of General Right, there is a chance to kill Sheng Yong, but Your Highness, if we retreat directly, the other army will return to help. Even if the Right General Overlord comes back to life, I am afraid he will lose his life in this battle, please think twice, Your Highness."

Think twice?
Think twice.

Qiu Fu died, and Zhang Yu and Zhen Wu were trapped in the battle. If they died again, not to mention the morale of the army would be hit, and most of his spirit would be lost, so why would he fight.

Zhu Di took a deep breath, glanced at the generals, and immediately made a very important decision in his mind: "Send the order, quickly encourage the army, turn the gun and fight Sheng Yong again. Those who have the heart of our army will be decisive. Anyone who advances bravely will be credited with three times the merit and ten times the silver reward. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man. I want all the soldiers of our Yan army to die and kill Shengyong. If Sheng Yong is defeated in this battle, we will win a big victory; if we fail to defeat Sheng Yong, we will die together!"

After these words were finished, all the officers and soldiers agreed with high spirits.

They quickly reinvigorated the morale of the army. They half-truthfully told all the soldiers that the general on the right had rushed towards Sheng Yong, and the other general was probably dead. We must win this battle, and His Highness was angry. Both credit and rewards have been raised several grades.

Such a great contribution, such a large amount of reward silver is in front of you, if you don't take it now, let alone when.

The soldiers didn't know whether it was because of their trust in Zhen Wu's bravery, or their trust in Zhu Di's honesty, or because they were attracted by credit and rewards. Anyway, after they had just suffered a defeat, they slowly grasped the truth for a while. The impact of the defeat was forgotten, and all the screaming followers Zhu Di and others rushed into the battlefield again.

They struggled towards Sheng Yong.

And at this moment, Zhen Wu had already rushed to Sheng Yong's camp. He took the lead, and the horse in his hand was flying up and down. It was as if no one was in the middle of the southern army. No one could stop his random blow. , The soldiers of the southern army who were killed were terrified.

Who in this world dares to say that he is invincible.

He Zhen Wu did his part.

Cao Xiaoman charged forward closely following Zhen Wu, and his performance was also unusually brave. He could be said to be Zhen Wu's apprentice, trained by Zhen Wu, and he was in his prime, so ordinary people were no match at all.

He guarded Zhen Wu's right side, letting Zhen Wu focus on piercing deeply into the southern army like the sharpest spear.

Sheng Yong's lieutenant general wanted to stop Zhen Wu, but he had his head chopped off by Zhen Wu in just two short rounds. He overestimated his own ability.

And this scene happened to be seen by Sheng Yong who came out.

When he saw that it was Zhen Wu who was rushing towards him, he couldn't help feeling a panic in his heart, and even he didn't notice the deep panic in it.

When he was in Jinan City before, he had witnessed Zhen Wu's bravery with his own eyes.

This is no ordinary human being.

No one in this world can say that he can stop a character like Zhen Wu.

Sheng Yong reviewed the entire battle situation, and he found that he made three mistakes in this battle. One was that he should not have thought of capturing Zhu Di alive when he had a big advantage, and the other was that he did not expect the determination of the Yan army to rescue Zhu Di, and the sudden outbreak of war San just didn't know what happened, but Zhen Wu killed him from behind.

The other two points are okay, the most is to let Zhu Di escape, but it still can't change the ending of his big victory.

But for the third point, if Zhen Wu forced him to flee in embarrassment, the consequences would likely lead to turmoil and defeat of the entire army.

But why Zhen Wu could kill him, he couldn't figure it out!He has a well-arranged rear army, how could Zhen Wu kill him so easily, this made him feel very surprised and angry.

But no matter what, it is impossible for him to allow Zhen Wu alone to affect his advantage. He said to the guard in a deep voice: "I'll be the bait, you go and arrange the firecracker team here."

The soldiers couldn't stop Zhen Wu, so wouldn't the firecracker still kill Zhen Wu? !

Sheng Yong got on his horse and shouted at Zhen Wu with a spear in his hand: "Zhen Wu, Sheng Yong is here, do you dare to fight?"

Zhen Wu saw Sheng Yong from afar and smiled.

dare? !
He hasn't dared anything in his life.

"Xiao Man, you go and kill the flag, I'll kill Sheng Yong." Zhen Wu pointed to the flag of the general standing high in Sheng Yong's camp, his whole body was full of fearless pride.

Cao Xiaoman responded and left.

Zhen Wu rushed towards Sheng Yong.

Along the way, he seemed to feel that the potential in his body exploded again, he was more brave than before, and he rushed towards Sheng Yong at a faster speed.

Sheng Yong didn't run or escape, he held the spear tightly in his hand and waited for Zhen Wu to rush over.

He waited for the firecrackers to take their positions.

But in this short period of time, Cao Xiaoman had already chopped off the military flag. He shouted: "The enemy general is dead." He tried to cause confusion for the opponent, and while shouting, he quickly led his troops to help Zhen Wu.

When Zhen Wu heard the movement from Cao Xiaoman's side, he was overjoyed, but the next moment he saw Sheng Yong waiting for him with his expression unchanged, the alarm bell rang again in his heart.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu saw the soldiers of the southern army who were blocking him in front of him, all scattered, and rows of soldiers holding firecrackers appeared in Zhen Wu's eyes.

Fuck, firecrackers!

Returning his mother is the Zhongwu gun!

"Protect the right general!" The guards around Zhen Wu reacted quickly and shouted quickly, at the same time, several figures rushed to Zhen Wu at an instant speed.

bang bang bang...

The sound of a row of gunfire came out.

Zhen Wu hurriedly dodged to the horse's belly, but just as he dodged under the horse's belly, the wailing of the horse and the hissing of his guards on the left and right were followed by the sound of firecrackers.

The horse was in pain, unable to stand still, and fell straight down. Zhen Wu rolled over to avoid the falling horse. He stood up with a lance in his hand, and looked at the guards in front of him, As well as those horses, all of them were beaten bleeding, and their lives were dying.

Zhen Wu was sad and indignant.

But just when he was about to roar, another row of firecrackers appeared, and Zhen Wu's heart became fierce for a moment. He directly used Ma Qiang as a javelin, and threw it at Sheng Yong with all his strength.

Sheng Yong, the dog day, he must die today!

Ma Yang's speed is extremely fast.

It seemed to be faster than an arrow shot from a strong bow.

Sheng Yong was smiling complacently on his face, he never thought that Zhen Wu would have such a trick before he died, and the people around him didn't react, they just watched Sheng Yong being stabbed by a flying spear.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

The general...dead...dead?
Such a simple and accidental death?
This…

But before they could think too much, the sound of the prepared row of firecrackers sounded in this short flash.

Although there was no cover around Zhen Wu, when he threw the horse spear, he hurriedly bent down to try to support the horse, and blocked another round of fireball for him.

But no matter how fast his movements are, how fast can he go? How can the fallen horse protect him completely.

Puff puff.

Several bullets shot into Zhen Wu's body, Zhen Wu only felt a momentum that made him back again and again, and then a large mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth uncontrollably.

"General Right!" Zhen Wu's surviving followers frantically rushed towards Zhen Wu.

And the craziest one is Cao Xiaoman, who rushed to help him from afar, and rushed over faster than the others. He grabbed Zhen Wu, put Zhen Wu on the back of his horse, and immediately turned the horse's head , Randomly chose a direction and rushed forward.

Cao Xiaoman shouted: "Hurry up and escort me out of the encirclement."

The people led by Zhen Wu quickly reacted, surrounded Cao Xiaoman in the center, and rushed to the outside.

When Sheng Yong's personal guard saw this, he suddenly said in grief and indignation: "Zhen Wu has been seriously injured, everyone rushed up with me to avenge the general, this time we can also take Zhen Wu's head and ask the court for a reward."

Zhen Wu's head? !
The price of this head is the most expensive among the imperial court, after all Zhu Di's head cannot be priced.

Under the appeal of these words, many southern troops began to chase and kill Cao Xiaoman and the others.

A sick tiger is no longer a tiger.

Not to mention the seriously injured Tiger!

The chaos here quickly caught Zhu Di and the others' attention, and as they got closer and closer, they heard vague news such as 'the general is dead' and 'Zhen Wu was seriously injured'.

The faces of Zhu Di and others changed, and the speed of their impact suddenly became more violent.

Many people are thinking in their hearts, Zhen Wu must persevere, he must persevere.

……

As time passed, the battle gradually continued into the afternoon. Because of Sheng Yong's death, the generals of the southern army had no command, and they were defeated by Zhu Di and others, winning a big victory.

But in the rout of the army all over the sky, Zhu Di and the others couldn't find the whereabouts of Zhen Wu and others for a long time. They only learned from some soldiers that Zhen Wu was shot in the body several times and was taken away by his subordinates in a panic. Many of Sheng Yong's personal guards and soldiers who were greedy for rewards all chased and killed them.

With a sullen face, Zhu Di ordered the whole army to search, to see people in life and corpses in death.
