Chapter 77
【Just when the battle began to get tense, a man named Ma Sanbao clearly pointed out that the key to the Southern Army was Li Jinglong's central army. As long as Li Jinglong moved his position, he could take advantage of his unstable footing to flank with surprise troops, and he would definitely win.】
【Zhu Di didn't expect that this man had such knowledge. He was overjoyed and accepted one of Ma Sanbao's items, and appointed Ma Sanbao as a general to join the battle.】
【At this moment, the battle had lasted from early morning to evening, and the sky was getting dark. Li Jinglong couldn't hold back and personally led the Chinese army to fight.】
【Zhu Di immediately sent Ma Sanbao to lead the cavalry and launched a fierce attack from both wings. As expected, Li Jinglong could not resist and was defeated.】
【Although Li Jinglong was defeated, because it was already dark, Zhu Di was unable to expand the victory, and both sides could only stop their troops.】
【Zhu Di comforted his soldiers overnight and prepared to continue the attack on Li Jinglong tomorrow.】
【But what no one expected was that Li Jinglong was far more incompetent than Zhu Di thought.】
【After witnessing the brutal battle during the day, Li Jinglong felt inexplicable fear in his heart. Not only did he have no military talent, he even had extremely little courage.】
【In the past, such tragic battles had only been heard from the older generation, but he never cared. It was not until he saw the bloody and cruel fighting today that Li Jinglong was really shocked.】
【Hundreds of thousands of people were fighting, everyone risked their lives, countless lives were destroyed in front of Li Jinglong, limbs were broken, and blood was everywhere. Li Jinglong was scared.】
【This is nothing like what he imagined in the 21 war. The war should be like what is written in the military book, strategizing and winning thousands of miles.】
【Li Jinglong recalled everything that happened during the day. When the scenes of hand-to-hand combat and stabbing with bare blades flashed through his mind, he knew that he could no longer wait like this.】
【I have already been defeated by Zhu Di once today. I will definitely not be able to win tomorrow. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.】
【The climate and terrain here at Zhengcunba are not suitable for him to perform. He must leave as soon as possible, return to the south, and fight Zhu Di decisively in the south.】
【Li Jinglong made up his mind and fled south overnight. This was supposed to be a way to preserve his main force, because he probably couldn't defeat Zhu Di either.】
【I just don’t know if Li Jinglong ran too fast. When he was escaping, he actually forgot to notify the soldiers who were still besieging Peiping!】
【When Zhu Di learned that Li Jinglong had escaped, he did not pursue Li Jinglong. Instead, he and Zhu Gaochi in the city attacked the Southern Army's siege troops from inside and outside. The front line of hundreds of thousands of people collapsed.】
【The Battle of Zhengcunba ended with Li Jinglong's complete defeat and Zhu Di's complete victory】
【This battle proved that Li Jinglong's reputation for incompetence was not false, and he was indeed an incompetent playboy.】
【Zhu Di, on the other hand, obtained a large number of supplies and prisoners. These people became the foundation for Zhu Di's great achievements and firmly grasped the initiative on the battlefield.】
【And the man named Ma Sanbao was reused by Zhu Di because of his outstanding performance in this battle and became his confidant.】
【This man's name was Ma He, and because of his great achievements in Zheng Village, he was given the surname Zheng by Zhu Di. After that, he changed his name to Zheng He.】
【News of the defeat spread quickly, the world was shaken, and the court was horrified.】
【Huang Zicheng was even more panicked, because he recommended Li Jinglong. If Li Jinglong was unlucky, he would be dragged into the water.】
【For the sake of his high-ranking official position, he decided to defend Li Jinglong. He explained to Zhu Yunwen that the reason why Li Jinglong failed was because Li Jinglong's military strength was not enough.】
【Zhu Di had the support of King Ning, which was the main reason for this defeat.】
【Zhu Yunwen once again believed in his Mr. Huang, and he decided to recruit soldiers from the guard station again to support Li Jinglong】
【Li Jinglong's troops were replenished again, but Li Jinglong stopped moving forward. He used the cold weather as an excuse and requested to stop his troops first, and then go north to fight against the rebellion when spring comes and flowers bloom next year.】
【Li Jinglong wanted to rest, but Zhu Di was unwilling. He led the Yan army to sweep the northern cities again, taking Guangchang, Yuzhou, and Baoding into his pocket.】
【Until April of the following year, Li Jinglong marched from Dezhou, Shandong, and Guo Ying, Wu Jie and others from Zhending vowed to attack the Yan army in the north. The target was Baigou River. At this time, his military strength had reached its peak and increased to 600,000 troops.】
【He knows very well that although he can excuse himself by saying that victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, if he fails again, it will not be commonplace.】
【He holds 600,000 troops, but keeps losing to the Yan army, which is several times smaller than his own. Not to mention being unable to explain himself when he returns to the capital, even the faces of his subordinates will not look good.】
【But defeating Zhu Di was not easy. Li Jinglong realized deeply that Zhu Di's military ability was far stronger than his own. Although his soldiers were not as numerous as his own, their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Southern Army. There were also those Mongolian cavalry who killed without blinking an eye. This is truly a formidable opponent. If you want to defeat him, you must seek help.】
【Li Jinglong found a helper for this, and he also began to seriously plan the preparations for the attack.】
【Zhu Di, who continues to win, is also celebrating his victory with a smile on his face, but he understands that for him, every battle now is a decisive battle.】
【Since he started his army, he has been saddled with the crime of rebelling against the traitors. No one can help him. He can only succeed if he keeps winning. Once he loses one battle, he may be doomed.】
【Can you really trust these cheerful subordinates in front of you? Who can guarantee that they will not use their heads to seek an official position one night?】
【He can defeat Zhu Yunwen ten times. He has the rich legacy left by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has the capital to defeat him.】
【Every day may be the last day for Zhu Di, and every battle may be the last battle. The mental pressure and torture day after day make him have to constantly fight with his life!】
【If Li Jinglong loses, he can go home. He is still the Duke of Cao, well clothed and well-fed. But if he fails, what awaits him is death.】
【Zhu Di, shrouded in the shadow of death, must face a new challenge. Li Jinglong of Texas has sent an attack signal, and he must answer the challenge and defeat him.】
【For Zhu Di, victory was no longer about seizing the throne, but about surviving.】
【In the second year of Jianwen, Li Jinglong arrived at Baigouhe. Here he also found his helpers, Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and Anlu Marquis Wu Jie.】
【Although Guo Ying and Wu Jie are good, the most effective helper Li Jinglong found was not them, but someone else.】
【After the two sides arrived at Baigou River, they set up a posture and began to confront each other. Zhu Di made military deployments based on the information he inquired about.】
【Zhu Di didn't take Li Jinglong seriously, but when he heard the name of the vanguard of the Southern Army, he was a little shocked. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【This man is called Ping'an, Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, and he was once Zhu Di's most effective general. They fought side by side, swept across the border, and won many great victories.】
【Ping An and Zhu Di fought side by side for many years. Not only did they fight bravely, but they also knew Zhu Di's military tactics very well.】
【Li Jinglong has been in charge of the army for such a long time, so choosing Governor Ping An as the vanguard was one of the most correct things he did.】
【After Zhu Di learned that Ping An was serving as Li Jinglong's vanguard, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but now he was on the line, and no matter whose opponent it was, he had to fight it.】
【This time, Zhu Di saw more soldiers, horses, and tents than last time, all organized according to the art of war.】[]
【After learning about the arrival of Zhu Di's army, Ping An also brought Zhu Di an unforgettable meeting gift.】
【After the Yan army arrived at Baigou River, they camped at Sujiaqiao. They happened to encounter Ping An's troops in the vanguard. Ping An took the lead in charging towards the Yan army without saying a word.】
【Following Ping An in the charge, there were also Qu Neng and his son who performed very well at the beginning. Led by a few people, the Southern Army rushed into the Yan Army camp like crazy, killing many people and going back and forth.】
【The Yan army never thought that the southern army, which had always been extremely weak, could actually have such a ferocious side. Caught off guard, these people were defeated by Ping An and fled, completely defeated.】
【Since the war, Zhu Di has never suffered such a big loss. When he returned to the camp, he became more and more angry. Furious, he made a bold decision to send troops tomorrow. At dawn, it would be the day of the decisive battle!】
【Li Jinglong was overjoyed. He finally saw the light of defeating Zhu Di. The moment to wash away the shame will be tomorrow.】
【Both sides were gearing up, waiting quietly for dawn to decide their lives.】
【The moment of decisive battle has finally arrived】
【Zhu Di led all his troops to the battlefield. Waiting for him on the other side was Li Jinglong's 600,000-strong army. 】

"Like, so similar."
Li Shimin looked at the resolute Zhu Di, and he felt that this man was simply a replica of himself.
"Take the lead, bravely kill the enemy, take the lead in the charge, defeat the enemy with a small number, and become a god general in hundreds of battles."
"Is this Zhu Di my reincarnation?".......The dividing line..
