Inside and outside Lingbi County, more than 300,000 troops gathered on both sides, which may be more than the population of the entire county.
On the 29th day of the winter month, all the Northern Army arrived at Lingbi Camp and had completed the encirclement of the official army.
King Yàn summoned military generals in the central army and said: He Fu's army was newly defeated and his morale was poor; the official barracks lacked food, and the morale of the army was turbulent.Our army urgently needs a big victory to boost morale. The king decided to launch a large-scale attack on the camp tonight and take advantage of the opportunity to destroy Ping'an and He Fu's army!
There was a lot of noisy in the tent, but no one stood up to speak for a while.
Zhu Gaoxu originally thought that the government army had no food and would sooner or later come out of the fortifications.As long as you repair another fortification outside and guard it, you can force the official army to attack against the trend.
But King Yàn's considerations also make sense.Anyway, if you can fight, it is better to follow King Yàn's decision.
Zhu Gaoxu has also faced the decisions of the battle formation many times. He understands that the actual situation is often very complicated, and it is not a simple choice of two. No matter how you choose, it may be right. The key is to do it!
So Zhu Gaoxu took the lead and walked out and clasped his fists and said: Father, wise!
All the generals agreed one after another.No matter how you fight at this time, the Northern Army was at the upper hand and everyone asked for battle.
King Yàn immediately deployed the positions of the generals and ordered: The official army has trenches and barriers, and the strong attack during the day was a loss.After dark, our army suddenly attacked again, knocked open the camp gate, and rushed in to kill a male and female!At that time, I asked people to fire cannons in the army, and three cannons sounded, and the whole army attacked together!
Everyone clasped their fists and said: The last general will receive the order!
Zhu Gaoxu took the forward position in the south gate again.He left the central army and immediately sent people to cut down trees as a hitch, and got two more Hongwu cannons loaded into vehicles...
There are still many officials and soldiers. If the Northern Army falls into the point of attacking the surrounding earthen walls and trenches, this battle will be difficult to fight!The key is to open the camp gate as soon as possible and then rush into the field to fight.
Fortunately, although the official army had repaired the fortifications, they did not intend to defend themselves. The fortifications built in a few days cannot be compared with the city walls and gates.
To open the camp gate, the difficulty is not on the same level as breaking the gate with a urn city.
After preparing, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhang Wu saw that the sun was about to set, they summoned the generals to inform the military and asked everyone to prepare for the war when it was dark.
By the time Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the tent, the sun had already set into the western horizon, and the last ray of orange-yellow light remained in the sky.
After the sunset set, the sky became very dark and the light was already hazy.
There were fires in the Northern Army camp, as if the entire earth was covered with stars.In the suburbs of this era, only the military camps had such a prosperous scene.
Zhu Gaoxu was ready to hit the wood and ordered a team of soldiers to sneak near the camp gate from the position where there was no fire.
The main army was deployed far away from the official army camp. He was ready to rush over quickly with cavalry first, trying to achieve the effect of a sudden attack, and the infantry then followed slowly.
Sizzle... Occasionally, a few rockets appear in the sky, and the gunpowder tied to the rocket makes a burning sound, like fireworks, or like a meteor in the night sky.
The team of infantrymen carrying the wooden bump had not yet walked far, and they were all lying on the ground.However, it should be difficult for the official army to discover them, and the brightness of the rocket is really limited.
Zhu Gaoxu stood next to the big brown horse, reached out to lift his breastplate, tied the rope of his helmet, pulled out a piece of the Yanling knife at his waist, and saw that the blade was brand new, he returned to the scabbard.
When he looked back, the big cavalry were standing quietly on the ground, everyone holding their horses, and the torches in their hands had not been lit yet.
In the hazy light, the two riders ran over. When they saw Zhu Gaoxu's flag, they said: All the generals are ready!
Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while and turned around and said: If you pass it down, everyone will get on the horse!
Get order!
He also turned over and took a cherry gun from Zhao Ping.
Time passed by bit by bit... At this moment, a cannon sound came from a distance, and then two more sounds started again!
The torches around were lit one after another, and the sound of whistling fire pieces were everywhere.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt very strange. King Yàn was on the west side, but the direction of the cannon sound was a bit wrong...
However, there were soon noises of shouting and horse hooves in the night sky, and the earth gradually boiled!
Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his forehead, finally lifted his cherry gun and shouted: Let's go!
Countless war horses began to move, and the sound of horse hooves became increasingly louder.Zhu Gaoxu led his people to rush through the tent camp of his own people in front of him, and then another sound of boom and boom came from the west!
The situation was very strange. As expected, his feeling was right. At the beginning, the direction of the three cannons was wrong!At this time, Zhu Gaoxu realized: At the beginning, those three cannons were fired by the government army!
At this moment, the official army camp was also shouting loudly. Before Zhu Gaoxu could find out where the rolling wood he had touched had reached, the camp gate had been opened!
Among countless torches, Zhu Gaoxu stared at the officers and soldiers running out in columns... King Yàn's luck is really not a pity. He was ready to attack the camp, but he happened to encounter the officers and soldiers counterattacked and broke through. This was a waste of trouble!
kill!Zhu Gaoxu immediately shouted.
The horse's hooves roared, and Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to charge with a fast horse!The crackling sounds on all sides... The string sounds like fried beans, and the arrow feathers whizz in the air.
Many soldiers of the official army were wearing bright armor, shining under the torch, and were shot by riding bows to cry and shouting.
Zhu Gaoxu led his personal soldiers to rush forward first. Seeing that the infantry was still a chaotic column, he killed the general and stabbed him when he saw someone.
There was a mess at the entrance of the camp, and torches fell on the ground, and sparks splashed.
The cavalry clashed left and right, the light flickered and darker, sometimes it was hazy, and sometimes it could be seen that torches shone on people's faces. Under the orange and yellow firelight, even the frightened expressions of the officials and soldiers could be seen clearly.
The infantry that had just rushed out of the camp was suddenly attacked and out of line, driven away by the heavy sound of horse hooves and arrows of the cavalry, and soon retreated into the military camp.Zhu Gaoxu shouted loudly and rushed in with his troops.
Zhu Gaoxu did not perform well in Xiongxian, but he also had a lot of experience. He led his people to rush deep into the camp without caring, so as to give up space for the subsequent horse team to gallop.
As for what happens when rushing inside, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care. The situation was very good. He rushed forward with his head in a mess! A group of horse soldiers chased the government and infantry and stabbed them, and the sound of killing in the camp was shocked.
Zhu Gaoxu could no longer tell the specific direction clearly, and then he saw another Northern cavalry coming in from afar.
More and more Northern cavalry were running around between the crowds of officials and soldiers. There was no difference between camps on the entire camp battlefield. The two armies were intertwined, and the shouts of countless people filled the entire land.
