The confrontation between the southern and northern armies was first broken by Zhu Di.
The consumption of this kind of military confrontation is too great, the imperial court has the entire country to make the rear bigger, and the supply is endless, but Zhu Di, the king of Yan, cannot afford to consume it.
But Sheng Yong made it clear that he wanted to fight a protracted war, and if he wanted to break this stalemate, he could only attack.
Some generals thought that they could gather heavy troops and conquer Dingzhou first, but Zhu Di disagreed, saying: "It is easy to fight in the field, but it is difficult to attack the city."
Now Shengyong gathered in Dezhou, Wu Jie and Ping'an were stationed in Zhending, each other was horns, the siege was not down, and the two Ming armies came to help.
The fortified city is in front, the strong enemy is behind, and the victory or defeat is difficult to judge. ” In the end, Zhu Di, who was born and was adventurous, decided to station the army between Zhending and Dezhou to lure the enemy into a field battle.
Most of the generals in the army were a little worried about this tactic, believing that if the southern army of Zhending and Texas attacked in the middle of the road, the northern army would easily be attacked by the enemy.
Zhu Di didn't think so, he said confidently: "Our army has many cavalry, and they come and go freely.
Hundreds of miles away, the momentum is unreachable.
The two armies are thin, and victory or defeat is only in the breath, although a hundred steps cannot save each other, let alone two hundred miles."
So the generals quickly pulled out the camp according to the order of King Yan, rushed to the Hutuo River between Zhending and Dezhou to camp on the bank, and sent rangers to wander between Zhending and Dingzhou, pretending to ambush soldiers to deter Ping'an and Wu Jie from coming to the aid in time.
Sheng Yong got retribution, and sure enough, he led the army to march and stationed in Jiahe, where the two sides started a big battle.
In this battle, Sheng Yong once again used the firearms that gave Zhu Di a headache, spraying trains, giant guns, and fire crossbows as the main combat weapons of the foot soldiers, and at the same time used chariots and big shields to protect himself, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, still used his traditional tactics on the surface, first attacking the flank, and then rushing to the main formation, but in fact, this time he played a trick and adopted a wave-like attack strategy.
His Duoyan Sanwei cavalry swept through the enemy camp, and immediately after feinting on the flank, he quickly broke away from the battle with the advantage of cavalry, and continued to attack the flank with 5,000 foot soldiers, while the cavalry circled, returned to the main formation, and hit the frontal camp, and immediately gave way to the road, and the second team of cavalry, which had already been poised for a long time, launched a charge again, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry charged in turn like waves, and finally shook Sheng Yong's Chinese army, forcibly broke in, and started a melee.
This battle was really tragic, the brave and good Yan general Tan Yuan took the lead, and in the chaos, the horse stumbled, fell to the ground, and was killed by the Southern Army general Zhuang De.
But Zhuang didn't have time to rejoice, so he was stabbed to death by Zhang Wu, the general of the Yan army, who led the iron cavalry to charge into battle.
Yan generals Dong Zhen and Chu Zhi died on the battlefield successively, and the casualties of the southern army were countless.
This big battle, straight to the dark, dozens of miles on the ground, everywhere is a mixed army, completely turned into a big melee, until the night is dark, the enemy and me are indistinguishable, all the soldiers and horses stopped in place to rest, Yan Wang with more than 100 fierce soldiers also stopped on the battle array, and waited until dawn to look for their own soldiers, only to find that the surrounding was the camp tents scattered by the southern army, it turned out that he had rushed to the rear of the southern army.
Seeing this scene, the guards around Zhu Di panicked, for fear that King Yan would lose, but Zhu Di had an idea, ordered people to get on their horses, covered the flag mark, and passed through the enemy camp in such a big way.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the southern army was also chaotically setting up their own banners to recruit the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to return to the team, Zhu Di and his party were dressed similarly to the southern army, and there was no flag logo, mixed in the southern army flowing around, all the way to the north, and no one noticed anything strange for a while.
When the Southern Army finally found out that this team was not their own, Zhu Di and his party rode their horses like flying, and they had already rushed out of the camp of the Southern Army, spread their banners, and threw themselves into the Yan Army camp, chasing them.
A great opportunity to kill King Yan, because of the chaos of his own camp, this big fish escaped like this, and the generals of the Southern Army in the battalions that King Yan passed through all the way were jealous, and they were afraid that the commander would find out that they were questioned, so they dared to publicize it, but they didn't know that the seeds of defeat were planted because of this.
Zhu Di just rushed out of the southern military camp, the chaos over there is clear at a glance, the southern army has many foot soldiers, after the killing, the soldiers of each battalion are looking for the generals of the headquarters on foot and assemble with them, the speed is far inferior to the northern army, and now the battalions of the southern army are still gathering soldiers and horses in a mess, this is a great opportunity, so after Zhu Di returned to the northern army camp, he immediately summoned the generals, and immediately fought again while the southern army had not yet been reorganized.
Zhu Di scattered all the cavalry, with a small team of 100 people, galloping fast in the enemy camp, rushing everywhere, not letting the already chaotic southern army calmly assemble, and then swinging a large army to kill into the enemy camp.
The fierce battle between the two sides, from early morning to noon, suddenly there was a gust of wind, the weather in March, the grass and trees have not yet covered the ground, the wind is dusty, there is no enemy and I can not see the enemy at hand, the southern army has not yet returned to their respective camps, there are some separate battles, this can not see the order of the Chinese army, it is a plate of scattered sand, and finally a defeat.
Sheng Yong was discouraged, fled all the way back to Texas, checked the remnants of the army, and actually lost nearly 50,000 horses, and couldn't help but panic.
He was touted as a god of war, which was an honor, but at the same time it became a burden for him, how could he afford such a heavy failure.
What's more, every time he has a victory, he is the first credit, Wu Jie and Ping'an are not without jealousy of his rising prestige, if these two people fall into the well Shi Shengyong thinks about this, the bedroom is uneasy, or his staff in the army, seeing that the boss is worried, he quietly gave him an idea, blaming the defeat on the time, in order to ensure that the reputation does not fall.
Sheng Yong suddenly realized, hurriedly wrote a recital, and reported the defeat, saying that the two sides fought fiercely until the afternoon, the weather changed sharply, the north wind was strong, the dust was all over the sky, and it was difficult to implement the order, which led to the defeat.
The news quickly spread back to Jinling, and Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others received the battle report, and in addition to being depressed, they were still depressed, so they had to report to the emperor.
Early in the morning, Luo Kedi was eating in the house.
His breakfast is very simple, white rice porridge, steamed buns, Gaoyou salted duck eggs, bean curd and a plate of sesame oil bamboo shoots, very light.
While eating, Liu Yujue walked in from outside, took off his cloak, rubbed his hands and said, "My lord." ” Last night, Liu Yujue was on duty in the palace, and he just came out this morning.
Luo Kedi pointed to the seat next to him and smiled at him, "Sit down and eat together." ” Liu Yujue sat down on the side and whispered: "My lord, this morning, the emperor first met with Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, and Huang Zicheng in the Zhengxin Palace. ” "Oh, what to say" "Hi the emperor, the dragon face is furious" Liu Yujue is a northerner, delicious noodles, picked up a steamed bun, and picked up a pair of chopsticks: "I heard that General Sheng Yong lost the battle and folded 50,000 soldiers and horses and returned to Texas."
The two generals Ping'an and Wu Jie led their troops to help, but before they arrived, they heard that General Sheng had fled all the way, and hurriedly returned to the division, and the emperor was furious, and scolded the front-line soldiers at both ends of the head and rat in the Zhengxin Palace, refused to use their lives, and wasted the court's money and food. ” Liu Yujue took a sip of the egg yolk that was spurting oil, suddenly stopped, frowned and said strangely: "My lord, it's really weird, Cao Guogong's defeat in Zhengba Village was because of the heavy snow and cold in the north, and the defeat again in the Baigou River was because the handsome flag was blown by the wind, and now General Sheng Yong is in the battle of Jiahe, and because the wind is blowing dust, it seems that God is particularly biased to help King Yan, is it true that the folk rumors are true, this King Yan is really the son of heaven."
Luo Kedi was stunned and said strangely: "What do you say, be careful." ” Liu Yujue carefully explained the details of the battle report he heard in the Zhengxin Hall to Luo Ke's enemy, and Luo Ke's enemy slapped his chopsticks on the table after hearing this, and said angrily: "Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng are a pair of nerds, and they don't understand military affairs at all.
Although Qi Tai was a scholar of the Ministry of War, he was originally just a literati, and he only made up a few military books, so he would only point fingers and talk exaggeratedly.
Liu Yujue was stunned and said, "My lord, there are ghosts in this."
Luo Kedi said angrily: "This Sheng Yong is a liar, he said that Zhu Di launched an attack early in the morning, and by noon, the two sides had become a melee, hand-to-hand combat, and the enemy and I were mixed together.
The two sides have been fighting together, and at this time there is a wind and sand, which is not good for our army, is it beneficial to the Yan army, and the defeat is defeated, what is the sudden wind and sand, as if God helps the Yan army, so shirk responsibility, these few wastes are not even noticed, it is really unreasonable" Liu Yujue saw that he was furious, and explained in a curtive manner: "My lord is angry, speaking of which, General Sheng Yong is already a rare general who can fight, and he has occasional failures, and he is worried in his heart, so it is common to be pretentious."
Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng can't see it, otherwise, according to the emperor's surname, I am afraid that General Sheng Yong will be removed from his post because of this defeat, and at that time, where will I find a general who can fight" Luo Kedi sighed: "Alas, it doesn't hurt to lose, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai want to protect Sheng Yong, the emperor will definitely listen to it, but."
Sheng Yong was confused, and used this method to shirk the responsibility for the defeat; Fang Huang was stupid enough to believe such a reason."
Liu Yujue said sneeringly: "Isn't it good to achieve such a goal without breaking the face of my court?"
Luo Kedi glared at him, and pointed out with hatred: "Every time our army is defeated, it is not man-made but providential, this is called not breaking face, this is a disguised way to build momentum for King Yan, King Yan's secret spy was originally advocating that King Yan is the true son of heaven in the people, now it's okay, if you don't eliminate King Yan's people, our own court ministers will take the initiative to help others build momentum, when everyone believes it, hey" "Uh" Liu Yujue thought that there were such side effects, and couldn't help but be stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then do you want to remind the emperor?"
Luo Kedi sighed and said: "Alas, presumably at the court meeting, the ministers have already been instructed for this reason, and it is difficult to collect the water, and it is useless to speak at this time, and it will offend Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and even General Sheng Yong in front."

He silently picked up the chopsticks, took a little bean curd, and before he could hand it to his mouth, he was angry again, and couldn't help poking the tofu in the plate, and scolded hatefully: "Fang, Huang, Qi Tai, just like the bean curd in this plate, it's just a small dish to occasionally make a side dish."
Luo Kedi thought about it, his cold eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can't do it, you have to bomb them down, otherwise the court will be in danger."
