There is abundant water here and lush green grass. No matter how you look at it, it is an excellent place to camp.
But just one night later, as soon as the sun came up, shadowy cavalry appeared on the left and right.
"Woo~"
The sound of the warning horn suddenly spread throughout the camp. Han Du suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, casually pulled on his clothes and walked out of the tent.
When Han Du came out, the military camp was already on alert.
Looking at Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei coming in a hurry on horseback, they asked sharply: "What's going on?"
Tang Ding replied with a heavy face:
"We are surrounded."
Han Du took the reins handed over by the soldier, stepped onto his horse, and said, "Go and have a look."
Tang Ding nodded calmly and took Han Du to the front of the military camp first.
I saw that countless Mongolian and Yuan cavalry had occupied the hills in front and formed a siege to themselves.
Han Du turned around and glanced at the river behind him. The river was not wide, only more than three feet, and the river was not deep. I had explored it yesterday, only about two meters. If he had not been surrounded by the Mongolian people, Han Du could have easily crossed the river.
But there is no such thing as reality. Now surrounded by the Mengyuan people, it is obvious that the Mengyuan people will not watch Han Du cross the river step by step.
What was originally a perfect place for water and grass suddenly turned into a dead land.
Han Du looked at the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry in the distance with a livid face. These cavalry were making adjustments calmly and showed no intention of rushing to attack. Obviously, Han Du was regarded as a turtle in the urn, and he was not afraid that Han Du could run away.
"The Meng Yuan people are resting now, and they will attack in half an hour at most. You can cross the river with your soldiers, I will stop them here, and you can't stand here no matter what." Tang Ding did not look at Han. degree, said in a calm tone.
Walk? Can you leave by yourself?
Tang Ding said at best that he was staying here to block the Meng Yuan people, but at worst that he was prepared to use his life to buy himself time so that he could escape smoothly.
But even so, Han Du was not sure whether he could escape.
"Even if I can escape, how will I explain to your father when I go back?" Han Du smiled bitterly.
Half jokingly, half bitterly, he looked at Tang Ding and said, "Could it be that when your father asks me where you have been and why he didn't take you back, I will tell him that I left you to protect him from the knife and fled back by myself?" ?”
Tang Ding turned around, looked with red eyes, and shouted sternly: "Let's go, one by one, do you want us all to die here?"
"What's wrong with dying here? Everyone has only one life. Could it be that everyone can die but I can't?" After Han Du finished speaking, he exhaled a breath of thick air and suddenly felt the blood boiling in his chest.
'When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, and one must have the spirit of wielding a sword! '
"You all should leave quickly, as long as I'm here to block you. My young father-in-law said it right. If you know you're going to die, you can't all die. One of you can survive. Don't you think so?"
There was no sadness on Xu Chengfei's face, only a smile, but this smile revealed endless sadness. He is still young, and he doesn't want to die. He still wants to make great achievements and become a descendant of Fuyin.
But at this moment, he had to dash all his hopes with his own hands. Because he knows, three
Among people, he is the only one with the lowest status, and he is the most suitable person to stay and break up the family.
Moreover, both Han Du and Tang Ding treated him well and treated him as brothers. Since they are brothers, if he doesn't stand up now, who will?
When Tang Ding heard this, he immediately fell silent and didn't speak. He just raised his eyes and looked at Han Du. Tang Ding was quite moved by Xu Chengfei's words. It would be a big accident for him and Han Du, no matter who stayed to break up the queen. Just like Han Du said, there is no way to explain to the other party's family after returning.
But Xu Chengfei was a little different. If he could escape this time, Tang Ding felt that as long as he protected Xu Chengfei's family in the future, he would be repaying him.
Even Xu Chengfei had no objection to this. The reason why he was willing to risk his own life and cut off the throne was simply because he hoped that Duke Xin and the Marquis of Zhenhai would protect his wife, children, and children. If it can give his son a future in the future, then it will be worth it even if he dies here without a complete body.
Facing Tang Ding's gaze, Han Du shook his head slightly.
If he could really escape, then Han Du would naturally not make fun of his own life. But at this moment, can we really cross the river behind us calmly and escape safely?
Han Du was very skeptical.
If he had just escaped to the other side, another group of cavalry would appear from behind the hill over there and capture him alive. Not only was he killed, but it was also a fatal blow to the morale of the army.
That is the real ten deaths and no life.
These Mongolian cavalry were able to surround him silently, and Han Du felt that they would not let such a big loophole pass to him.
Han Du picked up the reins, took two steps forward, and immediately shouted: "Organize the army, prepare for battle, use carriages to block the left and right sides, aim the cannons straight ahead, the sword and shield soldiers step forward to block the cannons, Qian Du Don’t let Meng Yuan find out.”
After Han Du gave the order, the originally frightened soldiers saw that Han Du was preparing to fight to the death, and everyone seemed to have found a backbone. When others attack, they will choose to surround three and one missing, so as to reduce the enemy's desperate counterattack when they have no hope of escape.
But Han Du surrounded himself on three sides, leaving only a hole in the front.
In any case, Han Du was able to stand up at this time and did not intend to escape, which made the soldiers hope for him.
Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei saw that Han Du really had no intention of retreating, so they had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him and concentrate on preparing for the upcoming battle.
No matter how difficult or tragic the battle is, or even a narrow escape, they must do their best to do their best.
Xu Chengfei stepped forward and kept passing orders. He did not directly refute Han Du's orders, but tried his best to make up for the shortcomings in Han Du's military orders.
Tang Ding also wanted to take the cavalry and rush to kill Meng Yuan while his foothold was not stable.
But he was stopped by Han Du, "You only have 5,000 men and horses, and the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry opposite has at least 50,000 people. You are throwing an egg at a stone. Wait, now is not the time to use your cavalry."
Fifty thousand cavalry is indeed a desperate number, but Han Du may not have other ideas in his mind.
Shanziying has been transformed by Han Du into a pure firearms army. The cavalry is indeed invincible in the battle with cold weapons, but it is not necessarily the case when facing firearms.
Xu Chengfei immediately understood Han Du's plan after hearing Han Du's order. He was preparing to use the power of artillery to kill as many people as possible.
Yuan cavalry. There were carriages blocking both sides, which not only prevented being besieged by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties on three sides, but also left an opening to attract the attention of the Mongolian and Yuan people.
After the arrangements were made, Xu Chengfei returned to Han Du, pointed to the front of the camp and said: "I asked the soldiers to dig at least three trenches in front of the camp with all their strength. It doesn't need to be too deep as long as people can squat down. Let some sword and shield soldiers hide. Inside, when the Meng Yuan cavalry rushes forward, you can use the Sky-shaking Thunder to greet them."
"Good idea!" Sure enough, Xu Chengfei is Xu Chengfei. He even forgot to remind him of this, but he was able to make such a strategy on his own.
"Let the people in the trench work in pairs, with one responsible for lighting fires and the other responsible for throwing. In addition, tell them to cover themselves with shields and beware of Meng Yuan's arrows. Send people to keep an eye on the position of Meng Yuan's cavalry. Once they enter the road, As far as the thunder can be thrown, the camp was ordered to sound the horn to remind the soldiers in each trench to throw it!"
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away." After hearing this, Xu Chengfei turned around and left in a hurry.
Originally, he was still thinking that although there were trenches where he could hide, the Mongolian cavalry's arrow-throwing skills were so accurate and terrifying that even if they were hiding in the trenches, the casualties would not be small. At this moment, he had no better way. He could only comfort himself in his heart, 'Where can there be immortals in a war? Besides, it was still unknown whether he could leave alive this time. How could he care about other people's lives? '
He never expected that his troubles would be easily solved by Han Du.
Put a steel shield on your head, let alone arrows, even if you chop it with a knife or an axe, there is nothing you can do to the person hiding underneath. The people below do not need to risk their heads to check the position of the Meng Yuan cavalry. They only need to obey the orders of the horn sound and light the thunder and throw it out on time.
This greatly increased the safety of the sword and shield soldiers in the trench.
Perhaps the Meng Yuan people thought they had defeated the Ming army in front of them. Even when they saw the Ming army digging trenches in front of the camp, the Meng Yuan people had no intention of attacking or interfering. They just watched the Ming army destroy everything. Be prepared.
"Buzz~"
The low sound of horns came from far away, and Han Du knew that the Meng Yuan people were about to attack.
Suddenly lifting the reins, Han Du rode forward and shouted at everyone:
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! We are people of the Ming Dynasty. Even if we face a powerful opponent and know that we are defeated, we must still show our sword resolutely. Even if we fall, we must become a mountain and a ridge! Do you dare to show your sword to Meng Yuan~"
A high-spirited, decisive, and joyful spirit instantly spread from Han Du's body and spread to the hearts of every soldier, quickly infecting and assimilating everyone.
"Bright sword~"
"Bright sword~"
...
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious~" Han Du raised his revolver again and shouted.
"The Ming Dynasty is victorious~"
"The Ming Dynasty is victorious~"
...
"Hahaha," Tang Ding looked at Han Du laughing heartily in front of Han Du, and said with admiration: "It's better to read more. If it were me, I would just say that brothers are fighting against me. How can I do that?" Like Brother Han, one sentence can make everyone share the same hatred and die with determination and courage!"
Seeing that Tang Ding was still in the mood to joke, Xu Chengfei couldn't help but roll his eyes. However, Xu Chengfei felt much more relaxed after being teased like this by him, and he didn't feel at all heavy about an impending decisive battle.
