Chapter 173 The Battle of Xuzhou

There are not many ships in Xuzhou, and most of them are not military ships, but civilian ships and merchant ships. It is not easy to get all 20,000 people on board.

Zhu Song was at the port of Xuzhou, watching the fleet get farther and farther away. This time, Zhu Di's situation is still extremely dangerous, because the real danger is on the way from Xuzhou to Zhen'an Port from Yangzhou. The soldiers of the Northern Army are brave, this is absolutely

Yes, but bravely was on the land, on the boat and on the water, that was not the case.

So Zhu Di and Zhu Song thought about it carefully. This time he went south to Yangzhou, the 20,000 elite troops led by Zhu Di were replaced with the imperial armor.

In addition to being led by Zhang Yu, 50,000 people were allocated to travel by land, and a total of 70,000 people went straight to Yangzhou this time.

Zhu Song was going to take charge of Xuzhou, and Zhu Song had already received news that Jinan had sent troops and wanted to play another move here to escape, so that the defenders of Jinan thought that the two commanders of the Northern Army were in Xuzhou City.

Sure enough, less than three days later, Sheng Yong brought 100,000 troops from Jinan to the city. At this time, Zhu Song had 130,000 troops in his hand, and each of them was elite.

If these 130,000 soldiers and horses want to swallow all of these 130,000 soldiers, the outcome will be severe, but if you want to beat them away, interrupt the morale that they finally rose up, or drag them down.

, relatively simple.

Although they blocked the Northern Army for more than half a year, they were hiding in the city without the protection of the city walls. Facing the brave and warlike Northern Army so directly faced with a bare butt, it was like running around the streets by his own mother chasing him naked.

However, Sheng Yong is not an ordinary person. This is the only uncertain factor in this war, but in Zhu Song's eyes, even if it is uncertain, it is just a small uneasy factor.

Zhu Song stood in Xuzhou City and looked at the 100,000 soldiers below. He knew that according to Zhu Di's style, he would never hide in the city and wait for battle. Zhu Di would definitely lead the cavalry out to fight.

"I am the king and ordered Zhang Wu to replace the King of Yan's armor and lead 50,000 troops out of the city to fight!"

Zhang Wude Ling bowed: "The last general will obey the order!"

Zhang Wu followed Zhu Di for many years and was the general who knew Zhu Di the most besides Zhang Yu.

So Zhang Wu changed into the armor of the King of Yan and ordered people to repair his beard, trying to try to be the same as His Highness's beard. He rode out of the city on a horse. Don't say it, you can't tell from a distance that this is

Not really Zhu Di.

Sheng Yong watched a general walk out of the gate of Xuzhou City from a distance, carrying tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the style of the armor was exactly the same as Zhu Di's, but the last time Sheng Yong and Tiexun were deceived.

I am full, no one knows whether the person in front of me is the real King of Yan.

However, judging from the two characteristics of armor style and leading by example, this is indeed like the style of King Yan Zhu Di.

Sheng Yong still had suspicion in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, he thought it was true or false and had to try it out before he knew it.

"Array!"

With Sheng Yong's order, the Southern Army began to line up. Zhang Wu narrowed his eyes and looked for a while, and shook his head.

In Zhang Wu's opinion, although Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong were indeed powerful and blocked the advancement of the Northern Army, these people were still the imperial army that had been separated for a long time, and the array was full of loopholes.

Originally, the shield soldiers were in order to block the attacks of cavalry. The key point was that they must be compact, and the shield soldiers must be the strongest in the army to be the ones.

However, Zhang Wu saw that the imperial army was in front, and more than half of the shield soldiers used to resist the impact of cavalry were able to meet the standards of strength, and there was also a gap between the shield and the shield.

If the cavalry crashed through these gaps, the front row of shield soldiers would collapse instantly like a thousand-mile dam that broke the dike.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for Sheng Yong. Sheng Yong also understood the shortcomings of the military formation. In fact, this is completely the soldier's fault and has nothing to do with him, the general, because most of these soldiers were collected and sent out by the court.

The defeated soldiers themselves had a sense of fear in the Northern Army. In addition, the imperial court's soldiers were not very skilled or strong. Even if Sheng Yong knew the shortcomings of the imperial court's soldiers, he had to force him.

On the scalp.

Zhang Wu ordered the cavalry to be divided into three routes, and frontal impact was essential, while the cavalry on both wings bypassed the shield soldiers.

With a command, the three cavalrymen were dispatched together, and they saw that the three cavalrymen were advancing towards the extremely fat piece of meat in front of them, just like three big snakes.

Sheng Yong drew out his sword and ordered: "All the generals obey the orders! Get ready to shoot arrows!"

After the cavalry led by Zhang Wu entered the range, the imperial army began to shoot arrows!

The arrows came like raindrops. Zhang Wu waved his weapon in his hand to resist the arrows, and soldiers around him kept falling off their horses.

Sheng Yong naturally gave a way to deal with the two wings of the cavalry. He waved the sword in his hand and ordered again, and two cavalry rushed out from the wings of the court army and rushed towards the enemy.

Sheng Yong's arrangement is accurate. The opponent is full of cavalry. There are not many cavalry on his side. Most of the forces are mainly gathered in the middle and used arrows and ropes to resist. How much can they kill?

But unfortunately, he overestimated the two teams of cavalry under his command.

Compared with the Southern Cavalry and the Northern Cavalry, it is like the stars are better than the bright moon. When the four teams of cavalry fight, the advantages and disadvantages are instantly revealed.

The cavalry fights in an instant. After riding a horse and fighting with the first person, they instantly come to the second person. The speed of the second sword is determined by whether the enemy dies or oneself dies.

The Northern Army was a team that fought against the Yuan people on the grassland all year round. When it comes to the strength of the cavalry in this world, the Yuan people were quite convincing.

The cavalry of the imperial court was not unable to be trained, mainly because there were not many southern plains, and the role that cavalry could play in the south was not as huge as that of the northern plains.

Therefore, the first thing is that this strange cavalry cannot be trained, and the second thing is that the Northern Army, which is not mainly cavalry, is even stronger. So you don’t have to think about this time that the Southern Army lost.

The terrifying thing about cavalry is that it has fast mobility and great impact. In the blink of an eye, it has arrived at the left and right wings of the imperial army.

Sheng Yong did not expect that the cavalry of the imperial court was so useless. Even if it was not as strong as the cavalry of the Northern Army, even if you could resist for a while?

Now we are facing a question: whether to disperse the troops to the two wings, or to continue to put all the troops in the middle to deal with the cavalry led by the King of Yan himself.
