Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 442 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas and Orioles Behind
"As expected..." Gao Zhang was standing in the center of the battle formation formed by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.

Behind it is a hillside densely covered with shrubs and trees. Although it is not too high, it also eliminates the possibility of being besieged from all sides.

And directly in front is a very clear meandering river, the water is not deep, the deepest point is at the knee position, the water body is very clear, and you can see the round pebbles at the bottom.

And the more than 1 officers and soldiers of the imperial court, most of them at the moment, have a bow, whether it is the newly issued shoulder bow or the old-fashioned bow.

All in all, Gao Zhang got almost all the bows and arrows from Changzhou, Runzhou and Huzhou.

The reason for this is that the army on my side is mainly composed of rural soldiers.

The important thing is that the rural soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are far inferior to the rural soldiers in the town over there, let alone the northwest rural soldiers on the border with Xixia.

Therefore, Gao Zhang can only use distance to create beauty, ah, no...it is to use space to enhance the courage of soldiers to fight.

Then use the thorny forest behind him to cut off the retreat of his own army.

Gao Zhang himself stood on a platform built of wood.

Wearing a coquettish purple robe and the official hat with wings, he sat in a position where everyone could see to boost morale.

I'm right here, fighting side by side with you adults.

Coupled with the good news from before, and Gao Zhang's kind visit and psychological construction.

It really made this miscellaneous army of the imperial court reach the level of being unhappy and exhausted in the face of battle.

Then use the stream at the foot of the mountain as a simple moat.

Then, using the vans made of various collected cars, in this mountainous place, with the fastest speed, a "city defense" that is not very reliable but at least practical was built.

Anyway, Gao Zhang is not going to charge and risk his life. I am just a white and tender bait, and it is my bounden duty to stick to it.

The rest depends on General Liu Fa's three thousand cavalry.

Facing the troops of Zhu's rebel army that are similar to his motley crew, as long as his father is not blind.

Even if this General Liu Fa from the Western Army knows a little bit about command, he should be able to use the elite three thousand cavalry to crush the Zhu family's rebels.

#####
Sitting on the temporary platform, Gao Zhang couldn't help regretting that he was too busy to let the Kaifeng metal workshop and glass workshop make profitable products.

But it was definitely the traverser's mistake that he didn't make a telescope in the first place.

But it's not a big deal, I'll wait until I'm done with Jiangnan's affairs when I have time.

Just when Gao Zhang was thinking wildly, in the distance, he finally saw the fluttering banner appearing in his line of sight.

As more and more banners appeared, the Zhu's rebels who were still under those banners appeared in this barren beach like densely packed ants.

Gao Zhang finally let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, it's good to be here."

The officers and soldiers below also noticed the enemy troops who were still a few miles away, and saw that the densely packed enemy troops, which were at least several times their own, began to line up.

Looking at the rows of enemy troops, they began to advance towards this side with slow but determined steps.

The atmosphere among the soldiers in the entire "city defense" began to look dignified and depressing.

Gao Zhang stood up, pointing the Shangfang sword given to him by his master Zhao Ji obliquely, and exhaled.

"Everyone, are you willing to follow me to destroy the Zhu thief and protect the family and the country!"

Gao Zhang's high-pitched voice, like a childish tiger roaring to the sky, made those soldiers who had been silent raise their heads one after another.

At this moment, the 250 Imperial Guard soldiers all exhaled and spoke. "Squeeze the Zhu thief, protect the family and the country!"

At this moment, the war drum was finally beaten, and a group of generals unsheathed their swords one after another, pointing at the sky.

"Squeeze the Zhu thief, defend the family and the country..."

Whether it was an eunuch like Yang Douzhi, a follower like Fu An, or a detective like Li Bangyan, they all yelled loudly.

More and more soldiers began to roar...

#####
Just outside the battlefield where the two armies were about to fight, Liu Fa, a burly and tall man in armor, was standing behind a big tree on a high hill at the moment.

Watching the Zhu thief's rebel army, they began to advance towards the direction where the imperial court's army formed an formation.

But the eye-catching black spot at the highest point where the court officials and troops formed an array is so eye-catching.

Watching the thief army gradually approaching, there is still a hundred steps away from the shallow stream.

In the army formation of officers and soldiers, arrow rain like migratory locusts had already begun to be thrown out.

And the Zhu thief rebels raised all kinds of shields one after another, trying to block the feather arrows that fell like raindrops, and moved forward with difficulty under the shouting and urging of the supervisor team behind.

Liu Fa spat out the grass roots that had been chewed to the point of being tasteless, turned around and walked quickly down the mountain.

At the bottom of the mountain at this moment, [-] cavalry of the forbidden army, like a winding snake, are hiding in this not wide, even narrow valley.

"Tell the brothers, start to go out of the valley, and make an assault according to the general's previous arrangement. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed!"

In an instant, the three thousand cavalry in the valley suddenly agreed.

#####
Zhu He, His Highness the King of Wu, was continuing to sit safely on his six-horse carriage at this moment, slowly pressing forward.

Beside him, the five hundred cavalry were still guarding him.In addition, there are [-] elite soldiers marching on the left and right.

As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, Zhu Xi sent them all at once without hesitation.

He is also very aware of the combat power of the soldiers and horses under his hands. If he fights like a refueling tactic, it will take only a few waves, and if he can't fight, it is very likely that his morale will be lost.

It's better to use swarm tactics directly to push the opponent to death.

Even if the fight is a mess, as long as the two sides can fight close to each other, at that time, the well-trained [-] elites and the [-] cavalry around him will be deadly trump cards.

Thinking that he would soon be able to catch that purple-robed young man standing coquettishly on the wooden platform at the moment.

At that time, I can use all kinds of means to concoct this well, capture my own father Zhu Chong, and beat him into a prodigy champion.

It forced me to rebel and stand on my own feet, and even wrote the gauntlet that made me so angry that I almost had a heart attack.

If he doesn't cut him into pieces, how can this king relieve his hatred.

Just when Zhu Xi was full of anticipation, in an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, a large number of cavalry from the Imperial Army rushed out from that direction...

PS: Rest, continue tomorrow!
