Chapter 73 The decisive battle In anticipation and anxiety, time passed little by little.
After three days and nights, the decisive day finally arrived.
Early that morning, Dingzhu specially ordered someone to boil a large amount of hot water for himself and clean his body from top to bottom.
Then he asked his concubine to comb his hair and tidy his beard.
Immediately, he walked to the side hall of the temporary carriage house and followed Zuo Xianghe Weiwei, the envoy to the Privy Council, Li Siqi of the Ten Thousand Households of the Baoyi Army, Li Sishun, the Deputy of the Ten Thousand Households of the Baoyi Army, Zhending Lu Dalu Huachi, Li Hanqing of the Loyalty and Salvation Army, and Li Hanqing of the Ten Thousand Households of the Mongolian Army.
Household cover Du Laha, Tanma Red Army Ten Thousand Households Guo Zeshan, and a dozen other Deputy Ten Thousand Households and Thousand Households enjoy breakfast together.
Because no one knew how long this battle would take, everyone ate very slowly and chose meat, cheese and other foods as much as possible to prevent their physical strength and energy from becoming unsustainable.
The usual red tape between superiors and subordinates when they dine at the same table has been thrown aside, and no one will pay any attention to it.
Everyone actually knows in their hearts that this is a crucial battle.
If he succeeds by chance, he will not have the strength to make a comeback within three years.
And if they are defeated, there will be no soldiers from Cangzhou to Dadu who dare to fight.
Even if the Yuan Dynasty did not collapse immediately, it would probably be ten years before the country could be reorganized under the control of the prince.
And the prince Aiyou knew Lidala, and he was not a ambitious hero.
Everyone had previously killed so many people from the prince's line under Tuohuan Timur's order.
If you go to Ji Ning in the future, you will most likely end up with your body and head missing.
As for Butcher Zhu, there is no need to think too much.
Dingzhu and He Weiwei were both prime ministers of the Yuan Dynasty.
Even Hama knew that to save face, he chose to defect to Aruhui Timur outside the Great Wall.
How could they be willing to serve as subjects and capture Li Siqi and Li Sishun, who were Zhao Junyong's confidants back then?
, since the day when soldiers, horses and artillery were mobilized to accept the recruitment, there was no way back.
As for Li Hanqing, he is the life-and-death enemy of Butcher Zhu, and they are irreconcilable with each other.
"Cangzhou City is surrounded by plains.
The prime minister placed thirty heavy cannons and one hundred and twenty four-pound cannons on the four walls, and left sixty as backup."
Seeing that everyone looked extremely solemn, he lowered the fixed pillar.
Chopsticks, smile and explain.
"Unless Xu Dan can conjure a mountain on the spot, we will definitely not suffer a loss in terms of firearms this time."
"The scouts have also found out that Wu Thief Liangmou, who has led his troops to sweep eastward in the past few days, will not rush back to join the battle.
Wang Xuan's Sixth Army and Aslan's Ninth Army did not appear in Baili either.
Within.
With Xu Da's caution, he will leave one or two brigades along the way.
Zhangshui is on alert to prevent Yue Kuochaer from stabbing him in the back.
According to this calculation, the Huai bandits actually participating in the battle are only part of the Third Army and the Fourth Army, and the total number of troops will not exceed 50,000."
Zuo Xianghe also sat upright. body, list a list of specific facts to boost morale.
The Huai'an army is equipped with a large number of firearms and is mainly infantry, so it has extremely strict requirements for the cooperation between the brothers and neighboring teams.
The more tacit cooperation is required, the more it is necessary for the Chinese army's orders to be implemented as quickly and clearly as possible.
Therefore, Xu Da could not invest too many troops in a battle.
Sixty thousand is almost the limit.
Beyond this number, he cannot guarantee that he can effectively command.
What the two prime ministers of the Yuan Dynasty stated were facts, and each was beneficial to their own side.
But after listening to this, Li Siqi, Zandu Laha and others showed no signs of relief on their faces.
He just continued to chew dried meat and cheese numbly, and drank milk tea numbly, as if his soul had already flown out of his body.
"I have figured it out.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others."
Dingzhu was stunned, quickly changed his mind, and added loudly, "If this battle is won, the truth will never take everyone back to Dadu, nor will he ask the prince Bend your knees.
Let’s just follow the example of the towns in Hebei in the late Tang Dynasty.

From now on, everyone will occupy a piece of land and live their own lives behind closed doors.”
This is also a true statement.
Because even if he could defeat Xu Da, he would still not be tolerated by Tuohuan Timur and his son.
It is better to simply support the troops and respect themselves and become a larger vassal town.
Then assess the situation and find other ways out.
As everyone listened, the expressions on their faces finally became more vivid than before.
They stopped their chopsticks one after another and responded with a forced smile, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a feudal lord.
Li Keyong, the then King of Jin, never let down the Tang Dynasty in his life."
"Yes, the emperor is wise, and we are good generals.
The emperor is foolish, but we can also protect the land and the people."
"Butcher Zhu happened to be named Zhu, who happened to be older than Zhu Wen back then."
Everyone has read quite a few books.
Soon, he followed Dingzhu's words and connected the situation at hand with the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty.
Huang Chao's Daqi also entered Chang'an.
But within two years, Huang Chao's reputation was ruined.
On the contrary, those who were defeated by Huang Chao's Jiedu from various places later lived a very prosperous life.
If you want to send some money and food to the court, just send some.
If you don't want to send it, don't send it.
Behind closed doors, they competed for men and women on their own territory, and the court did not have the guts to interfere too much.
Thinking about it this way is a bit refreshing.
At this moment, several artillery roars suddenly came to my ears, "boom", "boom", "boom", like thunderbolts in the clear sky, shaking the eaves of the house to the ground.
"Thief Xu betrayed his trust and fired in advance."
Li Hanqing turned pale, stood up, and was about to go out to take control of his team.
"It's an empty cannon.
This guy can't bear his temper and is anxious to urge me to go out for a decisive battle."
He Weiwei pressed his shoulders and announced loudly.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" followed closely by the sound of shelling, but no shouting was heard.
Obviously, He Weiwei's judgment was very accurate.
Xu Thief was firing cannons to urge the battle, instead of launching an attack on Cangzhou City in advance.
"Then I will go and fulfill him."
Dingzhu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood up with all his strength.
"According to the original arrangement, the Loyalty and Righteous National Salvation Army will follow the Chinese Army and be dispatched directly by me.
The other armies will follow Prime Minister He and the two Masters Li.
Let's go, let's fight Xu Thief to the death today."
"Until death," all the generals except Li Siqi stood up and roared with gnashed teeth.
Anyway, they were working hard sooner or later, so there was no need for everyone to delay.
Soon, all the soldiers and horses were assembled and swarmed out along the east and south gates of Cangzhou City.
Use the rear army to hold the southeast corner of the city and form a large formation with the word "reverse base" diagonally.
This was the formation plan that Dingzhu and He only decided on after repeated deductions on the sand table.
You can make maximum use of the artillery on the south and east walls and several horse faces to suppress the enemy.
Xu Da's camp was originally about ten miles southeast of Cangzhou City.
When he led his troops from that direction, he could face the Yuan army head-on.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" The Huai'an army was still firing in the air, at a slow pace, echoing each other from afar.
They were not firing cannons to encourage battle, but were using the loud sound of cannons to spread some urgent or important news.
And the distance between the teams they came to fight was indeed quite far.

With just flags and drums and horns, it was difficult for every soldier to hear clearly.
"What's Thief Xu's idea?"
Before he could arrange his army in order, He Weiyi felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
He quickly handed over the rear army to his deputy, Zhongshu Zuocheng Termu Tong, and personally rode his horse to the central army to remind Dingzhu.
"It seems that more than just Xu Thief's third legion and Wu Yongchun's fourth legion are coming."
The two brothers Li Siqi and Li Sishun also had very keen intuition.
They arrived at the Chinese army almost at the same time as He Weiwei, and followed in a low voice with some anxiety. column discussion.
"It's true that it's not Wu Liangmou who may have returned.
No, it's not Wu Liangmou's fifth legion.
The flags are different and the number of people is much smaller.
You look to the east, due east."
Dingzhu held up a heavily purchased Large telescope, trying to distinguish the opponent's flag.
"It's definitely not Wu Liangmou."
Li Hanqing has followed the Huai'an Army for many years and can clearly remember the characteristics and flags of each regiment.
Wu Liangmou is young and bold, with unconstrained ideas.
Therefore, in addition to the standard identification flags, his Fifth Army usually raises dozens of winged tiger flags to show off its powerful military force.
Xu Da and Wu Yongchun are much more low-key than him.
One of the distinctive flags is a standard shield in the Huai'an army, and the other is a pair of crossed swords.
Through the telescopes they acquired at a high price, He Weiwei, Li Sishun, Li Hanqing and others could easily tell that Xu Da had used all the strength of the Third Army, and Wu Yongchun had about six brigades and two At this moment, the soldiers and horses are slowly gathering towards the foot of Cangzhou City from the southwest and southeast.
But the team coming from the east was carrying another banner, a bright moon, a rising sun, and a vast expanse of land and ocean.
The sun and moon rise together, shining on China forever.
"Boom, boom" was another trumpet blast.
Dingzhu, He Weiwei, Li Siqi, Li Sishun and others shook their bodies at the same time, and their faces became extremely solemn.
"It's Butcher Zhu, the first legion of Butcher Zhu.
He, he may have come in person."
Li Hanqing's reaction was stronger than anyone else's, and his teeth clenched.
He remembered that recognition flag too deeply.
Back then, Tutu Zhu's ship flew the same flag and crossed the river to fulfill the agreement with Tuotuo.
As a result, the gunpowder ships he carefully prepared were not used at all.
Prime Minister Tuotuo vomited blood on the spot and died immediately.
He hated, hated that man, that flag.
He hated that man for making his boss angry to death, and he hated that flag for ruining his dream of becoming a general or prime minister.
If the Zhu Thieves hadn't rebelled, he believed that under Tuotuo's guidance, he would be able to reach the same position as He Weiwei.
Even if it doesn't go well, at least he can be on par with Zhongshu Zuocheng Han Yuanshan.
But now, he can only beg for mercy under Dingzhu, and he is also guarded like a thief.
For a moment, Li Hanqing even forgot his ambition to win the championship in the future.
As he struggled, he wanted to rally his troops and pounce on him, smashing the guy under the Sun and Moon flag into pieces, regardless of whether he was Butcher Zhu himself or not.
However, his arms were tightly held by two Mongolian warriors who suddenly came over.
No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move forward at all.
"General Li is ill and talking nonsense.
Come, please send him back to the city and seek treatment from a doctor."
He Weiwei, with a livid face, ordered Qie Xue behind Li Hanqing.
"Come here, tell me my order.
From now on, the Loyalty and National Salvation Army will be handed over to Saraban.
Until General Li recovers," Dingzhu added tacitly without giving Li Hanqing a chance to resist.

"Yes."
Several timid Xue men agreed in unison.
They picked up Li Hanqing and dragged him towards the city gate.
No matter how hard he struggled and shouted, he would never relax.
Deputy Wanhu Saraban of the Loyalty and Salvation Army emerged from the crowd like a ghost, passed by Li Hanqing, bowed to the fixed pillar and saluted, "The last general is here, and the last general will live up to the expectations of the Prime Minister."
"trust" "You" Li Hanqing's eyes widened, and his legs dragged on the ground, losing all strength in an instant.
After painstakingly planning for such a long time, he has been planning how to betray others and how to obtain the greatest benefits.
But he didn't expect that there were people around him who had already betrayed him and were already planning to replace him.
"If he dares to disturb the morale of our army, he will be killed immediately."
Dingzhu urged loudly without looking back.
Immediately, he raised his telescope and continued to look due east carefully.
Although Li Hanqing is ambitious, his knowledge is not bad.
The battle flag slowly approaching from the east is indeed owned by the First Legion.
The team under the banner of war is not large in size, at most it is just a cavalry brigade with over 2,000 people.
But everyone in the team was covered in soft silver armor, and the flash of light on the iron helmet was dazzling and cold.
"It's the Guards Brigade of the First Army Corps."
Dingzhu heard Zuo Xiang Hewei analyze in his ear with a trembling voice.
"Xu Hongsan's general's flag is inside, to the left of the center of the team.
The one next to him, under the sun and moon flag next to him, that burly guy should be Zhu Chongjiu."
"It's Zhu Chongjiu.
There is no one else except Zhu Chongjiu.
I met him in Xuzhou back then."
Li Siqi's voice sounded dry and tight, with a faint tremor.
Zhu Chongjiu is here, he comes from the sea.
Wu Liangmou went to the east a few days ago, not only to clear out the strongholds of powerful princes, but also to shoulder the task of meeting Zhu Chongjiu and clearing the way for the Guards Brigade.
When Zhu Chongjiu came, he actually abandoned Huaiyang, secretly left Xuzhou, and secretly came to the front of the battlefield.
He wanted to personally command this battle and bury Dayuan with his own hands.
Zhu Chongjiu came, and when he left, Huaiyang was safe and sound.
Zhang Shicheng did not send troops.
Zhang Shicheng actually gave up the best opportunity in his life and was willing to be stepped on by him forever.
For a moment, Dingzhu couldn't believe his eyes and ears.
Just watching the team in the distance getting closer and closer.
The iron-armored and black-faced general in the team looked like a god descending, with the beating sun behind him.
"Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers."
I don't know who took the lead, but a voice slowly sounded under the bright spring sun.
At first, it was a little thin.
But in an instant, it became extremely loud.
Like a giant dragon that had been sleeping for many years, it suddenly jumped up from the abyss and let out its first long groan after waking up.
"Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers" "Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers" "Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers" In the loud sound of "dragon roar", the Huai'an army troops who came to participate in the battle quickly moved closer to each other.
Battle flags fluttered in the wind.
Wang Shijiu has not been seen for a long time.
This is the first time that the Han army has set foot on the land of Yanzhao since the establishment of the Yannan crossing.
Before that, the Chinese remnants had endured hardship for more than 230 years in the heavy dust.
Talking about Beiqun Kong.
It’s not that China doesn’t have heroes, it’s just that it takes a little longer for heroes to grow, but they will eventually soar into the sky.

With just one hand on the spot, I finally returned my ten thousand husbands.
But how many men of the Han family will forget the shame of Jingkang, the legacy of Wu Mu, and the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains north of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall, that our forefathers fought through thorns and thorns to recapture from the mouths of ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes.
This was "the capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the seal of Yu."
It was never allowed to be stolen by outsiders or defiled by enemies of civilization.
Even if ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes succeed for a moment with the collusion of traitors, even if black clouds cover the sky, even if corpses litter the fields and seas of blood surge.
One day, the sun and moon will rise again in the sky, illuminating this proud land.
This is not a destiny written in a book by some great power, nor is it a conflict and vendetta between nations.
Rather, civilization must defeat barbarism, and creators must defeat plunderers.
Otherwise, mankind will fall into the abyss of darkness forever.
"Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers" "Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers" Listening to the earth-shattering shouts, Dingzhu suddenly felt guilty.
Looking sideways, he found that He Weiwei, Li Siqi and others also had rough foreheads and faces as pale as paper.
"We, the Great Yuan Dynasty, have established a cauldron since our ancestors, unified the universe, and spread virtue among all the people."
He opened his voice and tried to lead the soldiers to boost their morale.
But he found that the voice he shouted was so weak.
At that time, the Great Yuan Dynasty founded the country by killing, slaughtering all the grasslands, Yanzhao, Bianliang and Huaihe, and slaughtering the Khitan, Jurchen, Dangxiang, and Han people until all ten houses were empty.
The fertile soil of northern China has been slaughtered and has not seen smoke for many years.
What dignity do you have to say that your virtue is admired by all people?
If killing more than 60% of tens of millions of people can be called a virtuous policy.
Aren’t all the wolves, tigers and leopards in the world a hairy Bodhisattva who drinks blood and becomes a Buddha?
After the founding of the country, the people were divided into four classes and sat together in the square.
Abolish the imperial examinations, cover taxes, exchange paper for gold, and prevent even a single inch of weapons from falling into the hands of the people.
All of these, which one, are not leading beasts to eat people, and are acting against the will of others.
Even Dingzhu couldn't convince himself, so what else could he do to boost morale and use the "civilian and martial arts" of his ancestors and fathers to convince his opponents and inform the world?
"Fire the guns, fire the guns to demonstrate.
Notify the city, fire the guns to demonstrate immediately."
Listening to Dingzhu's voice getting quieter as he spoke, Prime Minister Zuo He Weiyi did not dare to delay any longer.
He grabbed a black command flag from the hands of the general's bodyguards and shouted Raise it high above your head and shake it vigorously.
"Boom boom boom boom" "Boom boom boom boom" "Boom boom boom boom" On the two city walls due east and south, hundreds of artillery pieces, large and small, roared in anger.
Black projectiles flew out, causing smoke and dust to billow on the ground.
The distance was too far, and the four-pound cannon could not reach the Huai'an army's toes.
It is impossible to catch up with heavy artillery.
This indiscriminate bombing was purely to interrupt the shameful and inexplicable shouting in the wilderness.
The effect was quite good.
When the first shelling sounded, the shouts of the Huai'an army suddenly stopped.
But soon, the shouts were replaced by loud bugles, which once again passed through the ears of all the Mongolian soldiers above and below the city like a dragon's roar.
Accompanied by the loud bugle, the movement speed of the Huai'an soldiers suddenly accelerated.
Each team was organized into brigades, and during the march, they gathered quickly near Xu Da's Chinese Army Commander's Flag.
Xu Da himself rode his horse towards the due east, towards the high-raised banner of the Sun, Moon, Rivers and Mountains.
From a long distance away, he raised his hand and saluted Zhu Chongjiu, "Repay, my lord.
All of the Third Army Corps" The 401st, 402nd, 403rd, 404th, and 405th brigades of the Fourth Army Corps have been ordered to assemble.
Please let me know."
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work."
Zhu Chongjiu raised his hand to his forehead and quickly returned a standard military salute.
Then while riding the horse at high speed, he shouted an order, "This battle is still under your command.
Just continue to fight as you should.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I will come over to cheer you up and watch the enemy plunder the formation."
"Yes."
Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then pulled the reins of the war horse and galloped back to the commander's flag.
Not long after, another burst of impassioned suona sounds came from the Central Military Department.
“Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta- out “Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta- out “Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta- out The generals in each brigade responded to the distant sounds of suonas one after another.
The rhythm of the team's march suddenly changed again.
Except for the artillery, each brigade was divided into three.
Each regiment bloomed like flowers in the green fields and turned into medium-sized hollow phalanxes.
The hollow phalanxes approached each other one by one, shoulders against shoulders, horns against horns, and slowly stopped three miles away from the Yuan army.
The heavy artillery on the city wall can already hit this position, but the destructive power of the heavy artillery on the hollow square formation is almost negligible.
Unless it happens to hit someone, clouds of dust and smoke will rise in vain wherever the shell hits the ground.
It has never been the Huai'an Army's style to just take a beating without fighting back.
In the blink of an eye, the direct artillery regiments of the Fourth and Fifth Legions had launched long-distance suppression towards the city head.
Their vehicle-mounted eight-pound cannon has the same rifling on the inside as the six-pound cannon, and its accuracy and power are far superior.
As long as the horse that pulls the cart is removed, the end of the car is pressed down, and the special positioning gun anchor is connected with a bolt, the muzzle can be tilted, the shooting angle can be adjusted, and the flames of revenge can be fired.
"Bang" a huge bomb flew out of the muzzle, passed through the blue sky, and smashed into Cangzhou City.
"Boom!"
The entire Cangzhou City was shaken, and thick smoke billowed into the air.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" and "Boom" followed closely, and more eight kilograms of explosive bombs hit the Cangzhou city wall, masonry faces, watchtowers, and crenellations.
Bricks and stones flew everywhere, and broken limbs and pieces of flesh splashed down like rain. .
The Meng Yuan heavy artillery placed in the enemy towers, horse faces, etc. had to adjust its direction and start firing against the Huai'an army's eight-pound cannon.
However, whether it is in terms of the accuracy of the artillery or the level of the gun operators, the two sides are not at the same level at all.
Plagiarists are plagiarists.
Once they meet the real owner, they are quickly beaten back to their original form.
If you simply imitate something, you can get the superficial meaning, but not the essence.
What's more, over the years, the Huaiyang Company, which has tasted the benefits, has continued to increase its investment in the Academy of Sciences.
The Huai'an Army's cannon-making technology has been constantly improving and improving.
The craftsmen of the Huai'an Academy of Sciences and Baigongfang have also grown from the illiterate older generation. , gradually replaced by newcomers who graduated from Baigong Technical School "Boom, boom, boom."
About half an hour later, with a loud noise, dozens of barrels of gunpowder were shot and exploded on the horse face on the southeast side of Cangzhou City, sending countless bloody corpses and two heavy cannons into the air at the same time. .
The city walls in front of and on both sides of the horse's face immediately began to tremble and tremble, and they were like melted snow, slowly collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dark yellow smoke rolled up and down, swallowing up Yuan soldiers who could not escape one by one.
The 20,000 troops who were placed there as rear troops by the fixed pillars had to squeeze forward to dodge, and the entire formation was instantly crushed to pieces.
"All forward, let's fight to the death."
Dingzhu didn't dare to expect the result of the artillery battle.
He raised his scimitar high and looked ferocious.
He still had the advantage in terms of numbers, and the enemy's general Zhu Chongjiu had also rushed to the opposite military formation.
If you are lucky enough to kill this person, the result will definitely turn the world upside down.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Desperate trumpet blowing sounded among the Yuan army.
The four square formations of the left army, the right army, the center army and the rear army pressed forward together.
Quickly swallowing the distance between it and the Huai'an army, trying hard to show the final barbarity.
They're going to kill that guy.
They must work hard to change the fate that is about to crush them.
They could clearly see the golden armor on Zhu Chongjiu's body and the black horse under his crotch.
They could clearly see Zhu Chongjiu riding his horse and circling his team.
Holding a tin trumpet in hand, they made the final mobilization before the battle.

"Since the moment of the Xuzhou uprising, Zhu kept asking, why am I fighting?"
He slowly drove his horse, looking at the neat team, looking at the familiar or unfamiliar people in the team. face.
Xu Da, Wu Yongchun, Xu Hongsan, Lian Laohei "If it was just for revenge, the moment Xuzhou was captured was enough.
My enemy was already dead.
However, Zhu could not put down his sword."
After a short pause, he turned his gaze behind everyone.
In mid-air, there stood the three brothers Zhima Li, Sun Sanshiyi, and Zhang, as well as the heroic souls who fell on the battlefield one after another.
They are all watching him, watching him step by step from Xuzhou to now.
From a butcher who kills pigs to a hero step by step.
"Because as long as Zhu puts down his sword, Yuan soldiers will come and kill him.
Kill Zhu, kill his companions around him, and kill hundreds of millions of innocent people from Xuzhou to Bianliang to Yangzhou."
"They will definitely do this, Zhu knows.
Because Zhu knows what they have done in the past.
They take pleasure in killing and are proud of barbarism.
They never regard us as the same kind, they only want to treat us as equals.
We and our descendants will always be treated as cattle and allowed to be slaughtered.”
"They once marched from the grasslands beyond the Great Wall to the far west, destroying dozens of countries along the way.
From north to south, they destroyed the Jurchens and Xixia, and thrust their butcher knives into the Song Dynasty, killing tens of millions of innocent people like weeds.
Cut down and slaughter” "Everywhere they go, they will burn down ancestral temples, destroy schools, and burn to the ground the written classics left by their ancestors and sages."
"They turned farmland into wilderness, cities into rubble, and villages into mass graves.
They killed all the way and never stopped.
Unless they were chopped down by the rebels."
"So, Zhu will never put down the knife until they are driven away."
The horses were circling, and he slowly walked from one side of the team to the other.
"Not only that, Zhu also hopes that you will never put down the sword in your hands, and work with Zhu to drive them away and restore the old land of your ancestors."
"This battle is not for me, nor for yourselves, but for our ancestors, for the tens of millions of innocent people who were slaughtered as livestock, and for the hundreds of civilizations that were destroyed by scimitars and horse hooves."
"Yes, we are flawed, but that is not why we deserve to be slaves."
"It is true that we ourselves are not perfect enough, but this is also no excuse that we deserve to be destroyed.
We are born as human beings, and our shoulders are as high and short as all them and all nations in the world."
He once again cast his gaze into the distance, towards Jiangnan.
Hu Dahai was suddenly assassinated, Zhang Shicheng approached Zhenjiang, and Chen Youding surrendered and rebelled again, trying to separate Fujian.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and came eastward for an unknown purpose.
There are more battles waiting for him there, and he must end this one as soon as possible.
"This battle is not for conquest, nor for revenge.
It is for defense.
