Zhu Yuao knew that the courtiers were waiting, and King Chen's good fighting was already famous, so it was not surprising that these people behaved like this.

Therefore, he must now defeat Zhu Linmiao as soon as possible in order to establish his prestige in the court in one fell swoop.

But Su Ping's guy actually persuaded him to stick to it without fighting, which is simply unreasonable!

Fortunately, Zhang An, who was recommended by Su Guansheng, still understands, otherwise this battle will really be impossible to fight.

He then looked at Su Ping and said coldly: "When the army marches to fight, you should give the order." General Su should focus on the overall situation and cooperate with Zhang Duwei in unified dispatch. ”

The implication of this is to ask Su Ping to follow Zhang An's orders. In fact, Zhu Yuao also had another small abacus in his heart, if this battle was dominated by the Cantonese army, winning would cause Ding Kui Chu to despise the imperial court. Is it best to break the enemy's first merit or leave it to his own direct royal camp.

Su Ping had no choice but to give up, "The last general...... Comply with orders. ”

……

"General Yu," a general in brand-new armor nodded to the ground on one knee and said to Zhang An, "My subordinates have sent people to investigate repeatedly, and there are no ambushes within twenty miles of Tianxing Mansion." ”

"Hmph, that's true." Zhang An snorted disdainfully when he heard this, "He, Zhu Linmi, relied on Fujing's favorable time, place and people, and played clever tricks to intercept Jianyu's grain road, so he was lucky to win Bolo, and he thought he was invincible in the world." ”

Since Zhu Linmiao arrived in Tianxing Mansion, he hoarded all the people and horses on the open land outside the West Gate, neither besieging the city, but also rarely sending people out to investigate, looking like a layman.

Zhang An looked at the "rebel" camp six miles away, and remembered the situation when he was whipped, he couldn't help but blood gushed up, gritted his teeth and sneered, "God has eyes, let me Zhang An have this great revenge in my lifetime!" ”

After a while, another soldier urged the horse to come and said in a loud voice: "Lord Duwei, General Su's headquarters has left the north gate and is forming a team. ”

Zhang An nodded, and then flicked the red big behind him, and turned around and went down the city with his hand on the hilt. Behind him were several generals who hurriedly followed.

Outside the west gate of Tianxing Mansion, Zhang An's men and horses had already finished lining up here.

At the front of the battle array, there were more than 20 tiger squatting cannons. The front army was composed of sword and shield hands and gun hands, with sword and shield in front and three rows of bird guns in the rear. The Chinese army is dominated by rattan players and pikemen, and a team of crossbowmen is inserted in every five columns. On both flanks were more than 1,000 cavalry seconded from Su Ping. Just looking at the arrangement of this formation, it is quite orderly.

Zhang An first rode a horse and galloped back and forth in front of the formation, and saw that although the battle formation was not very neat, everyone was bright and bright, mighty and extraordinary, and had its own momentum.

He took the reins of his horse in front of the battle, and said loudly to the imperial camp soldiers: "Recently, the training has been a little stricter, but Lao Tzu tells you that I will not let you suffer in vain!" ”

He pointed to the "rebels" behind him: "Today, whoever kills the rebels before the battle, in addition to the reward, can go to Fuyuan Street with me to live happily for three days!" All the expenses are counted on my Zhang's head! ”

This Fuyuan Street is the most famous Yanliu Lane in Tianxing Mansion, Zhang An said it, and the eyes of these soldiers under him were straight - this kind of ecstasy cave costs very much, and most of them may not be blessed for the rest of their lives, but what did Zhang Duwei say just now?

Three days?!

Many people couldn't hold back, and the hara flowed out.

"Give Lao Tzu some face!" Zhang An said again, "I also tell you that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King will be in charge of the country soon." Do you know the prison country? Except for the name and the emperor, everything else is the same!

"When this battle is won, Lao Tzu will have a great merit, and when the time comes, he will take the reward of His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, and he will not treat you badly! Take a lot of money in the future, what Fuyuan Street? Lao Tzu will take you to Qinhuai River to be happy! ”

His method of agitating the bandits was very effective, and the soldiers of the imperial camp were all blushing and looked like they couldn't hold back.

Zhang An was satisfied with the horse and returned to the Chinese army, and said to the herald: "Beat the drum and take the rebels directly!" ”

"Obey!"

The north side of Tianxing Mansion.

Su hired a summons to report that Zhang Duwei's main force had beaten the drum and marched into the army, so he had to sigh and order the army to move and march towards the left flank of the "rebels".

To tell the truth, he was extremely reluctant to fight this battle. Although his own strength is several times that of the rebels, he has also heard of the name of King Chen, and it is rumored that his combat strength is not weak. Even if this battle can be won, it is estimated that the losses of his own troops will not be small.

You must know that when he set off from Guangdong, Ding Dutang repeatedly told him that he only came to support the Tang Dynasty and that he must protect the soldiers and horses of the Guangdong army.

Helplessly, he has now been tied to the big car of King Tang, and he has suffered all losses, so he can only bite the bullet. Fortunately, Zhang An was in charge of the main frontal attack, and he only flanked him, hoping that the casualties would not be too large.

When his army of 15,000 arrived at the scheduled battlefield slowly, he did not hear the expected shouts of killing and fighting, and the place where the rebel camp was located was as quiet as a cemetery.

Su Ping frowned, and said in his heart, could it be that Zhang An was marching so slowly, and he hadn't arrived at the battlefield at this time?

He was puzzled, when he saw a horse galloping to report, "Report! General, Zhang Duwei's main force broke the rebels, and the striker has chased out four miles away! ”

"What?!" Su Ping couldn't help but be surprised, this Zhang An was so good at fighting, he hadn't arrived yet, he had already defeated the enemy?

"That's not right." He shook his head again, and instead ordered hundreds of scouts to be sent out to scout carefully, beware of a rebel ambush.

Later, he personally led his brigade to the rebel camp to inspect it, and found that the camp was in tatters, and all kinds of flags, weapons, and baggage were thrown everywhere. In particular, he also saw a few tiger squatting cannons lying on the ground, and the ammunition next to them was stacked neatly, which showed that the gunners were extremely panicked when they fled.

"General, the rebels must have been defeated." A subordinate general beside Su Ping said, "The subordinates have heard of Zhang Duwei's drills, and they all fight with real knives, and there is no blood for a day, and the weak will die immediately." He often asked the soldiers in the middle of the team, 'How many rebels do you want to kill?' Those who answer 'one or two' are not guilty, and those who answer 'I don't know' or 'don't kill' are to be punished with military sticks.

"Therefore, his subordinates are bloodthirsty as life, and they kill the enemy when they think about it, and they can see it today, and they are really like wolves and tigers, and they will break the rebels in front of the battle in a moment."

Su Ping nodded when he heard this, and he thought so. Later, there was a horse to return and say that there was no ambush in all directions.

At this time, he was already a little regretful, and said in his heart that it seemed that the rebels were really defeated, and this King Chen had a good reputation, but he was too cautious and missed the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

He looked at the scout and said, "Where are the rebels now?" ”

"General Yu, you are fleeing four or five miles to the west."

Su Ping immediately pulled out his saber and said in a loud voice: "Pass on my military order, and the whole army will rush westward to pursue the traitor!" ”

He thought for a while, and then said to the deputy general beside him: "Liang Xian, you lead the cavalry first, quickly go around behind the enemy, and intercept their way!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

……

Both Zhang An and Su Ping repeatedly investigated, but did not find ambushes. Because Zhu Linmiao didn't set up an ambush at all.

The entire army of the Dragon Guard gathered together, put away the flags, and moved in unison. Behind them were Zheng Chenggong's 900 righteous army, but at this time, they all changed into the green uniforms of the Dragon Guard, and were "crying and shouting" to "break and flee".
