Zhu Di was in shock and just wanted to return to the Yan army's formation. However, despite his desperate efforts, he was quickly surrounded by the Ming army.
Since they received Sheng Yong's attack call, these Ming troops did not answer and began to attack desperately.
Although Zhu Yunzhen had issued a decree strictly prohibiting harming Zhu Di, but when it came to the military formation, who could care about whom?
He was so red-eyed that he just waved his sword as hard as he could without paying any attention to whether the person in front of him was a general or a prince.
After all, Zhu Di was considered to have been in battle for a long time. After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down. Although there were only a few personal guards under his command, the number was not large, but they were well equipped and everyone was not afraid of death. As long as they were commanded properly, It can still produce quite impressive combat effectiveness.
Zhu Di believed that as long as he could survive the first few rounds of attacks, the Yan army would definitely mobilize its entire army and try every means to save him.
"The Yan army is invincible! Brothers! Charge with me!" Zhu Di's voice lingered on the battlefield. He took the lead and soon collided with the court's cavalry.
Because they are all sprinting. Only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard at the scene. The two war horses collided together and fell to the ground with a neighing sound.
Zhu Di rolled over from the ground, stood up and shook his head that was still roaring. He only felt that the ground around him seemed to be swaying from side to side. He saw countless people fighting and shouting, and there were also many Yan Army cavalry and imperial cavalry. They collided together, and everyone at the scene was turned upside down, but he seemed to be unable to hear it, and there was only a long roar in his ears.
This is a normal phenomenon after the impact. It stands to reason that he should rest quietly now, but this is a battlefield. Once he stops slashing, he will probably sleep forever.
Zhu Di ignored his physical discomfort and raised his sword to slash at the surrounding Ming troops. One of the Ming soldiers also just fell off his horse, but his willpower was not as good as Zhu Di's. After the impact, he felt like the world was spinning and he had no consciousness of raising the sword at all.
When the steel knife in Zhu Di's hand scratched the Ming army's chest, the Ming army seemed to realize something. He looked down, then fell to the ground unwillingly and fell into eternal sleep.
A Ming army soldier saw the right moment and came roaring on a war horse. Zhu Di was right in front of him. He was not prepared to let go of this golden opportunity. Even if the emperor would punish him afterwards, his name would probably be recorded in history forever. among.
People in this era attach great importance to their posthumous names. It is simply a great honor to leave your name in the annals of history.
Thinking of this, the corners of the Ming army's mouth curved. Come closer. As long as you get closer, with one shot, it will be over.
It's a pity that this Ming army seemed to be too focused on Zhu Di and completely ignored his surroundings. Just when he was about to thrust out his spear, a Yan army cavalry rushed towards him on his flank.
The Yan army took the life of the Ming army cavalry with just one shot. The Yan army did not stop, but killed another Ming army who tried to get close to Zhu Di. Then he got off his horse and roared at Zhu Di: "Please get on your horse and go first!"
Zhu Di shook his head again, and then he saw Yan Jun's face clearly, but what he didn't expect was that this person turned out to be Zhang Fu.
Just when Zhu Di was still in a daze, another Ming army knight ran past him, and the spear in his hand was aimed directly at Zhu Di's heart.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fu flew forward and pounced on him without even thinking. He stood in front of Zhu Di and blocked the shot for Zhu Di.
Fortunately, Zhu Di ordered someone to give Zhang Fu a good set of armor when he arrived. The Ming army's spear did not break the armor, but the powerful impact still knocked Zhang Fu away.
As soon as Zhang Fu hit the ground, a mouthful of old blood spurted out. At this moment, he only felt severe pain in his body. He tried to get up, but he couldn't do it at all.
The Ming army's horse speed had not slowed down, and it was already too late to shoot Zhu Di again, so they simply changed their target to Zhang Fu again, wanting to know Zhang Fu's life directly.
When Zhu Di saw this situation, he became furious and threw out the long knife in his hand. The long sword was impartial and hit the Ming army in the back. The Ming army shook twice and then fell from the horse. However, his feet were hung on the saddle and he was dragged to an unknown place by the high-speed horse. Only blood stains were left on the ground.
Zhu Di didn't have much to worry about at the moment. He climbed directly onto Zhang Fu's horse, leaned over again, grabbed Zhang Fu who was unable to move on the ground, and put him on the horse's back.
Zhang Fu raised his head slightly, but heard Zhu Di say: "I will definitely take you out, otherwise how will you explain to Shimei?
Zhang Fu tried his best to smile, then lost consciousness and fainted. Zhu Di, with his few men and horses, was unable to break out of the Ming army's encirclement after sudden attacks from the left and right. Fortunately, there was no road ahead. Zhu Neng and his men had already penetrated the Ming army and officially joined Zhu Di. .
Looking at the fainted Zhang Fu, Zhu Neng was very puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the prince bring this boy with him?
Wouldn't it be better to let the Ming army kill him? Zhu Di shook his head and said: "The horse under my king's lap was given to me by Zhang Fu. In the battle just now, Zhang Fu saved me from danger twice, and this is how he got his injuries. How could I abandon him and ignore him?
"After hearing this, Zhu Neng was speechless. He had already determined that Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu and his son must be internal agents of the imperial court, but he couldn't understand why Zhang Fu would still want to save Zhu Di at this moment?
Still wondering, Zhu Neng knew that now was not the time to think about these things. The Ming army still had the upper hand in the current situation. Even if Zhu Neng and his men had already joined Zhu Di, it would still be quite dangerous if they were not careful.
Zhu Neng immediately said: "Please, Your Majesty, retreat north as soon as possible! The general will end his career here." Zhu Di is not the kind of indecisive person. There is always a choice in the battle formation. He nodded and said: " In this case, please leave it to Shihong, but Shihong must also return safely.
Zhu Neng smiled and nodded, then led the people to meet the Ming army. ...Let’s talk about Zhang Yu again. In order to allow Zhu Neng and Zhu Di to meet up, Zhang Yu chose to go straight to the Ming army's formation.
His choice disrupted the Ming army's position and distracted the Ming army's attention. It also eased the pressure on Zhu Di and Zhu Neng.
In the Ming army formation, Zhang Yu had already wielded countless swords. His horse had been dead for a long time, and the men and horses around him were also being consumed bit by bit, but he was still waving the long sword in his hand. knife.
"General! The prince's flag has moved, and the prince has withdrawn to the north! Let's withdraw quickly!" A Yanjun came to Zhang Yu and said expectantly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a spear pierced his chest. This Yan Jun is not old, only sixteen or seventeen years old at best. He did not vomit or have calf muscles on the battlefield, which already shows that he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
In troubled times, soldiers of his age are all too common. It's just that although he performed bravely on the battlefield, he didn't expect to lose his life today. He came here with hope. He thought that peace would be achieved after the negotiations. He thought that he would be able to see his parents, brothers and sisters when he returned this time. , met the girl from the same village whom I had missed for a long time.
But all this turned out to be in vain. Young Yan Jun looked at the gun head that came out of his body, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Zhang Yu shouted angrily and chopped down the Ming soldier holding the gun. But young Yan Jun could no longer stand steadily and fell straight down.
Zhang Yu had quick eyes and quick hands and stopped him in his arms. He seemed to have a lot more to say, but when he opened his mouth, a large amount of blood poured out. Among the sporadic sounds, Zhang Yu could only hear the word "go home."
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and murmured: "Okay, I will definitely take you home.
"After hearing these words, young Yan Jun seemed extremely satisfied. He gently closed his eyes and never opened them again.
Seeing this, Monk Wu Peng clasped his hands together and whispered: "Amitabha." Zhang Yu raised his head to the sky and roared. He pointed at the banner of the Yan army heading north in the distance and said loudly: "I will take you home!
"Although he said this, Zhang Yu also knew that they were trapped in a tight siege and there was a high probability that they would not be able to go back. But before rushing to death, he always had to give his subordinates some good hope, even if they could not return physically. It's time for the soul to return to its hometown.
Zhang Yu pulled off his somewhat tattered cloak and covered the young soldier. He took a few steps quickly, raised his sword and slashed at the approaching Ming army.
Under heavy siege by the Ming army, Zhang Yu's men were already desperate, but when they listened to Zhang Yu's words and watched Zhang Yu's actions, their belief in wanting to go home forced them to be filled with strength again.
"Follow the general! The general will take us home!" The few remaining Yan troops roared with all their might. With a united will, they all rushed towards the Ming army without fear of death.
...On the top of Dongchang City, Zhang Ren saw everything. Although the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see it clearly, the brutal fighting between the two sides still made him sad and angry.
Zhang Ren shouted loudly, struck the sword through his body with one palm, and used his internal force to directly knock Gao Wentai away.
Gao Wentai's martial arts skills were not as good as Zhang Ren's. In addition, his life was cut off and his injuries were not healed. He could only display 20 to 30% of his usual strength.
But with this little skill, how could he fight against Zhang Ren? He was squirting blood and was knocked to the top of the city tower. Zhang Ren stepped forward, grabbed Gao Wentai's throat, and broke Gao Wentai's neck with a little force from his fingertips.
Gao Wentai's life was draining away quickly, but at the end of his life, he still had the corners of his mouth raised. He disrupted Zhang Ren's plan and seriously injured Zhang Ren. Maybe Zhang Ren will die here today. His Revenge can be regarded as revenge.
Some people are like this. They don't regret their mistakes, but blame others for their misfortunes. In the end, they harm others and themselves.
Only at this moment did Zhang Ren finally understand that he was still a little too merciful. If the Cao Gang had been dealt with directly in Daming Mansion, if Gao Wentai had been captured instead of being sent to the Yamen, but with a single blow, then today's negotiations would have gone smoothly. .
It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world after all, and Zhang Ren also paid a huge price for his kindness.
