Chapter 50                                                             �

The rain in nature always comes as soon as you say it.

The difference between the rainy season and the dry season in Nan'an is not very absolute. It does not mean that there is no sunny weather in the rainy season, and there will definitely be no rain in the dry season.

God knows what God thinks.

God just follows his own personality. Naturally, Ruan Tingmei is definitely the destruction of heaven, but it is also a major disaster for Mao Rui.

The rain is weaving in the sky.

The fires used by the ground to block roads were extinguished by rain.

The passionate hearts of Mao Rui and others were also extinguished.

At this moment, on the other side of the fire, the Annan people gathered thousands of people to reinforce Zhennan Pass. If it weren't for the limited access capacity, the Annan people would have gathered more than so many people.

But for the Ming army, it was the same.

what to do?

Mao Rui pondered for a moment, stood up suddenly and said, "Everyone, please prepare." He didn't say much, but just wrapped a white cloth layer by layer in his palm to prevent his hands from being lost.

"General Mao, I am willing to be the pioneer." Zhang Mao said suddenly.

Mao Rui frowned and said, "Duke of England, I'll send someone to escort you away later."

For Mao Rui, having such a British Duke in the army would be a big trouble.

Zhang Mao said: "General Mao, you use me as a vanguard and I have a way to defeat the enemy. As for what method, you don't need to know. Just ask if you are willing to take a gamble."

Mao Rui pondered for a moment, and he knew very well that the biggest problem now was that he had too few people in his headquarters.

More than a thousand people were stuck on this road, and sooner or later, the entire army was destroyed in waves of attacks by the Annan army.

The most critical issue now is that the Ming army destroyed the Annan army in Zhennan Pass first, or the Annan army destroyed them first. Therefore, his biggest task is to gain time.

Mao Rui thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's take you as the pioneer."

He figured it out. Anyway, this time the young king was seeking death by himself, and it had nothing to do with him. If there was a big victory, I dare not say anything else, his father would have a title, and he might not be afraid of the Duke of England's Mansion.

After all, although the British Duke is prominent, Zhang Fu is no longer here.

If you lose, it is the same thing as death. Is there any difference between taking a duke to die together?

Zhang Mao didn't care what Mao Rui thought, but walked in front of the queue with more than a hundred Qianqing Palace guards. He found a long stick, took out a flag in his arms, put it on it, and raised it high. Everyone looked over, but it was a flag of the British Duke.

It's just that this flag is very old.

It was one of the banners used by Zhang Fu in Annan after he destroyed Annan and was named Duke of England. Even though it was well preserved, it turned yellowed a little.

Zhang Mao said in his heart: "Father, you are a hero, please let your child use his reputation."

At this moment, the heavy rain slowed down, and the fire scene that cost dozens of meters was even more wiped out. For a moment, bursts of white smoke and a hint of dark red color were blinking completely in the rain.

Zhang Mao was wearing plate armor, holding a knife in one hand and a flag in the other, shouted loudly, and rushed out with the man stepping on the charcoal that had not yet been completely extinguished.

At this moment, all the firearms of the Annan soldiers were no longer used. They all fought bravely, rushed up with hats and swords and guns.

As soon as the two sides confronted each other, more than a hundred Zhang Mao was out of control and stunned Annan's soldiers.

This is also very normal. After all, Zhang Mao’s more than 100 people are almost the highest level of individual soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. Many people have already achieved the position of a hundred households before being transferred to the Ganqing Palace. Generally, they will be middle-level officers when transferred.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry had hundreds of generals as soldiers, and that was nothing more than that.

Not to mention, their armor and weapons far exceed each other.

The battlefield is very narrow, but a road that is several feet wide can't be moved even if there is a large army. The two sides are only in front of the battle.

This is why the brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road.

However, Annan has many soldiers. Even though many of them died in the front, the soldiers behind still fought to the death. After all, they had too many reinforcements.

There are layers of supervision behind the scenes, how can we retreat?

While killing him, Zhang Mao shouted: "The British Duke Zhang Fu is here." He shouted loudly in Chinese and murmuring respectively.

Nangyu is the predecessor of Vietnamese. Although it was used by Annan before, it actually became the main text during Li Sicheng's reign.

Facing the Ming army's unstoppable offensive, he heard the name of the British Duke Zhang Fu again, and looked up at the flag of the British Duke Zhang Fu. In an instant, the morale of the Annan soldiers fluctuated violently.

Nothing else, the reputation of British Duke Zhang Fu is even more resounding in Annan. Even ordinary people in Annan may not know who the Emperor of Ming was, but they will definitely not know who British Duke Zhang Fu was?

Even later, Li Taizu Lili himself said that if Zhang Fu had been in Annan, he would have no chance at all.

Zhang Fu is actually not cruel, and he is even over tolerant of some Annan people.

But after word of mouth, it has long been distorted.

Zhang Mao also learned from the Jinyiwei that his father Zhang Fu's reputation and image are similar to the great devil who killed people in Annan. Even every child, if he is not good, his parents said that Zhang Fu would take him away.

This feeling of trembling permeated Annan. Even when British Duke Zhang Fu passed away, many senior Annan officials expressed their condolences for their face, but they felt relieved in their hearts.

Many politicians, even if they do nothing, can breathe with an oxygen hood, which is a great shock to some people.

Zhang Fu played this role for a long time in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhang Fu was dead, and many people in the upper class of Annan knew about it, but for Annan's soldiers, it may not be possible.

When he heard that the army actually sent Zhang Fu to lead the troops.

Even if many Annan soldiers were forced to calm down, their morale fell a lot. In addition, Zhang Mao rushed over with a bit of desperate intentions, and no one was the opponent.

Suddenly, he began to be in chaos in Annan's army.

They retreated one after another.

Withdrew more than ten miles away in one breath.

Only by exiting the narrow mountain road can we reorganize the team.

At this moment, Zhang Mao was exhausted.

Seeing this, Mao Rui couldn't believe it at all. It took him a while to sigh: "It's worth your life to be able to reach the level of a Duke of England."

The British Duke he mentioned was naturally not Zhang Mao, but Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu has been dead for several years. It has been less than ten years, but ten years after his death, his reputation can still shock the enemy country, and a flag can shake the morale of the other party.

As a general, what else can I ask for when I reach this point?

At this moment, the reinforcements were Ruan Dezhong and a member of the Ruan family. He was furious and killed more than a dozen generals in a row, saying, "The British Duke Zhang Fu has long been dead. Just one sentence scared you like this?"

In fact, if they hadn't known that the British Duke Zhang Fu was dead, they heard that the British Duke Zhang Fu's flag appeared on the battlefield, Ruan Deyan would not have sent troops without understanding it.

But now he understood the guilt of this Ming army.

If you have an enemy in your heart, why should you borrow the reputation of a dead person?

It was just that he ordered an immediate counterattack, but it was impossible.

The defeated soldiers must be rectified before they can go into battle again. Otherwise, they will just give the other party a head.

Although Ruan Deyan was worried about Ruan Tingmei, the Ruan family was a big family in Annan. Although they looked like a Ruan, their bloodline had long been alienated.

Of course, although his bloodline was a little far away, Ruan Deyan had no intention of not saving him. He spent half a day reorganizing his troops and launched an attack again.

But this time he came to Zhennan Pass without any obstacles. But the more he got from Zhennan Pass, the ugly his face became. When he arrived at Zhennan Pass, his face turned ashen.

As he expected, there was a big banner with the word Ming hanging above the city head of Zhennanguan, and there was a head hanging above the city head, neither someone else, but Ruan Tingmei.

It can be seen that Zhennan Pass has been used by the Ming army.

Ruan Deyan turned around and retreated without saying a word. But since he was here, it was not so easy to leave. The Ming army left Zhennan Pass and chased the Annan army for a long time. After a long battle, he chased ten miles again, causing the Annan army to suffer heavy losses.
