Chapter 82
【Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan came to power, while Li Jinglong, the defeated general, fled back to the capital without even daring to look back.】
【Out of the millions of troops who went on the expedition, only Li Jinglong has returned. It is really desolate.】
【Seeing Li Jinglong come back, Huang Zicheng, who had recommended him in the first place, wanted to chop him to death with a knife. Huang Zicheng felt that he had sinned deeply and hated Li Jinglong.】
【Huang Zicheng immediately joined forces with the imperial censor Lian Zining and the censor Ye Xixian to make a generous speech to Emperor Jianwen, requesting the execution of the entire Li Jinglong family.】
【But Emperor Jianwen rejected their request, and the reason for his refusal seemed to be very good. Li Jinglong was his relative.】
【Emperor Jianwen was kind to his ministers, but towards his uncles, he was unkind and unjust, which made people feel chilling.】
【Although Li Jinglong lost the battle, killing him was of little use. Raising him would only cost more food, so why must he be executed?】
【But Zhu Yunwen was still too stupid after all. He had no mercy when he should be kind, and was sentimental when he should be ruthless. He is destined to pay the price for today's decision.】
【However, after the change of commander, the morale of the Southern Army began to gradually recover. Sheng Yong was also preparing to launch a counterattack against Zhu Di. This time Zhu Di would face the most disastrous defeat since his cavalry.】
【In November of the second year of Jianwen, after several months of repairs, Zhu Di began to take the initiative to attack the Southern Army.】
【Zhu Di first led his army to attack Cangzhou. After annihilating tens of thousands of southern troops, he continued to attack the border of Shandong southward.】
【Under Zhu Di's fierce offensive, Dezhou, Jining, Linqing and other places fell one after another.】
【After Sheng Yong learned that Zhu Di had come in person, he was not surprised but overjoyed. He accurately judged the situation and prepared to switch from offense to defense14 to attract the Yan army to advance.】
【He knew that in the plains of Texas, he would not be the opponent of the Yan army. He had to find a way to lead the Yan army to a place that was not conducive to the cavalry. At that time, his counterattack would begin.】
【After carefully surveying the terrain, Sheng Yong selected the battlefield for the decisive battle, Dongchang!!】
【In order to attract Zhu Di to come for a decisive battle, Sheng Yong abandoned many cities to avoid his edge. He systematically arranged for his army to retreat step by step to lure Zhu Di to continue advancing.】
【Sheng Yong understood that Zhu Di, who had failed in the Battle of Jinan, probably wanted to avenge his shame at this moment, and would also have a stronger desire to attack.】
【As long as you plan well, you can definitely lure Zhu Di to Dongchang. Then you will be able to complete your task in one battle, annihilate Zhu Di under the walls of Dongchang City, and completely restore peace to the world.】
【Sheng Yong's feeling is correct. Zhu Di is indeed looking for the main force of the Southern Army at this moment. He has absolute confidence in himself. He believes that he can definitely annihilate the main force of the Southern Army this time, break the stalemate between the two sides in one fell swoop, and completely open the door. road south】
【Zhu Di is confident that he is still invincible. Looking at the world, no one is his opponent.】
【Even though he could see that Sheng Yong was deliberately trying to seduce him, Zhu Di didn't care. His idea was to use the opportunity to find the location of Sheng Yong's main force and kill Sheng Yong. Great things could be accomplished.】
【Zhu Di looked down upon the generals of the Southern Army. Except for Ping'an, he was a strong enemy. But now the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army was just Sheng Yong. This person was simply a nobody. Before this, Zhu Di had not even noticed this person.】
【What should I fear from such a nameless figure?】
【As his name suggests, Sheng Yong is extremely mediocre and can devise such a clumsy strategy. How could he be his opponent?】
【Zhu Di had also investigated the situation of the enemy coach Sheng Yong in advance. As expected, Sheng Yong had no outstanding achievements and was originally just a subordinate of Li Jinglong.】
【In Zhu Di's view, there is no suspense in this battle. He firmly believes that in a face-to-face confrontation, the elite Yan Army cavalry will crush the enemy to pieces, and he will be destined to be the final winner of the battle.】
【But Zhu Di didn't know that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. At the same time, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. After all, Zhu Di still didn't have a long memory.】
【In December of the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Di successively captured Dong'a and Dongping, and continued to advance towards Dongchang, the battlefield pre-designed by Sheng Yong.】
【At Huakou, not far from Dongchang, Zhu Di encountered the forward troops led by Sheng Yong's general Sun Lin. Everything was as he expected. The southern soldiers collapsed at the first touch. Sheng Yong was indeed a wine bag as the legend said. mortgage】
【The high-spirited Zhu Di finally got rid of the shadow of the Jinan War. He led more than 100,000 troops to the final decisive battle site.】
【Under Dongchang City, Sheng Yong had already led the main force of the Southern Army, 300,000 troops, and was ready to fight.】
【Sheng Yong, as his name suggests, had a very mediocre life experience. He first served as a general under Geng Bingwen and experienced the defeat of Zhending. Then when Li Jinglong replaced Geng Bingwen, he turned to follow Li Jinglong.】
【After that, I followed Li Jinglong all the way to defeat, and only learned how to escape after defeating the battle, how to choose an escape route, how to deal with the remaining soldiers and defeated generals, etc.】
【For Sheng Yong, the so-called dignity of a soldier is just a joke to him. Failure, escape, failure again, escape again, what dignity can there be in living like a bereaved dog?】
【But Sheng Yong is not without merit, because he is a person who is extremely good at learning, and at the same time, he is not a weak person at heart.】
【He is different from Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong is Zhao Kuo, who is familiar with the art of war, but does not know the dangers of the battlefield. Sheng Yong rises from the bottom step by step. He knows how to fight and also understands Zhu Di's weaknesses.】
【Yes, after experiencing several disastrous defeats, Sheng Yong finally discovered the weakness of Zhu Di's military use. He will also firmly grasp this weakness of Zhu Di and completely defeat Zhu Di.】
【Everything will be decided on the battlefield of Dongchang.】
【On December 25, the second year of Jianwen, when Sheng Yong heard the news from the outpost that Zhu Di had arrived in Dongchang, he understood that he would finally face this terrible enemy head-on.】
【To the surprise of Sheng Yong's generals, Sheng Yong did not choose to hold on to the city. Like Sheng Yong, these generals had suffered enough from Zhu Di in several defeats and were well aware of his power. They were prepared to fight Zhu Di head-on. with more or less fear】
【But even so, Sheng Yong decided to line up outside the city, fight with his back to the city, and live towards death. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
【The generals under his command were in an uproar about this and shouted that this was a way to die. However, Sheng Yong did not speak and just looked at these generals quietly.】
【Feeling Sheng Yong's determination, the generals gradually became quiet, and Sheng Yong spoke his mind: Yan Ni is rampant. As generals in the court, we will eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor. If we allow Yan Ni to invade and sweep away, how can we face the elders of the world?】
【I have made up my mind. I will go out to the city tomorrow for a decisive battle. Although the outcome is uncertain, our loyalty will definitely leave a mark in history!】
【Sheng Yong's pre-war mobilization greatly moved his generals. This battle is the decisive battle. Let tomorrow's battle decide the ownership of the world.】
【Sheng Yong was ready, and Zhu Di also brought the main force of the Yan army to Dongchang and began a decisive battle with Sheng Yong.】
【Sheng Yong's army had neither many nor elite cavalry, but these soldiers were equipped with another kind of weapon, firearms and crossbows.】
【Sheng Yong knew very well that defeating Zhu Di in a cavalry confrontation was tantamount to wishful thinking, and the most effective unit to restrain cavalry was crossbowmen.】
【After being equipped with a large number of firearms and crossbows, Sheng Yong had the confidence to fight a head-on decisive battle with Zhu Di in Dongchang.】
【When Zhu Di saw this formation, he finally understood that the attacker was evil, but he had to shoot the arrow. He believed that with the combat effectiveness of his cavalry, he would be able to defeat the enemy head-on.】
【After the two sides set up their formations, Zhu Di didn't waste any time. He gave the order directly. Zhu Di took the lead again and rushed towards Sheng Yong's formation.】
【This time, Zhu Di's chosen direction of attack was still not Sheng Yong's front, but Sheng Yong's army's left flank.】
【But after Zhu Di attacked, he found that he had kicked the steel plate. Under Zhu Di's full attack, the Confederate Army remained motionless. Even if Zhu Di tried his best and repeatedly attacked, it had no effect.】
【This scene made Zhu Di a little confused. In fact, the main reason for this was that Zhu Di's routine had been figured out by Sheng Yong.】
【Zhu Di would attack the left wing in advance every time he attacked. Sheng Yong was well prepared for this. He not only sent heavy troops to protect his left wing, but also dug a trap for Zhu Di.】
【Sure enough, Zhu Di, whose attack failed, decided to change the breakthrough point and useHe used central breakthrough tactics to attack Sheng Yong's Chinese army. He reorganized his troops and moved to the direction of the Chinese army, preparing to launch a fatal attack.】
【However, when his Chinese army advanced, they fell into Sheng Yong's trap.】
【It can be said that Zhu Di's deployment for this battle was completely anticipated by Sheng Yong. He knew that after Zhu Di's attack on the left wing was frustrated, he would inevitably attack the central army.】
【And when Zhu Di rushed towards Sheng Yong's army, the number of the southern army was getting larger and larger, each holding firearms and crossbows, without any fear at all.】
【At this time, anyone who is not a fool will know that they have been ambushed.】
【Zhu Di realized instantly that he had been fooled, but by the time he understood all this, it was already too late】[]
【Because at this moment, Zhu Di was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops in the center, with heads so densely packed that he could not see the edges at a glance.】
【This time he can't deceive the enemy coach like he did in the Battle of Baigouhe. Sheng Yong is not Li Jinglong, and Zhu Di has already become the winner. Even if he breaks the riding whip this time, it will not have any effect. Got it】
【Zhu Di's end is imminent, and Sheng Yong is about to complete the greatest feat of his life, quelling the Jingnan Rebellion! 】
