The light of swords and the shadow of swords, the sound of drums and horns. Zhu Jun and Sui Jun fought a battle within a few miles, and the intensity of the battle was beyond ordinary people's imagination.
The battle had lasted for nearly an hour. The soldiers on both sides were now red-eyed, as if they had forgotten to think, and only knew how to roar and slash forward with the weapons in their hands. Blood stained the land red, and there were corpses lying on the ground everywhere.
"You courageous thief, come forward quickly and fight me, Pei Xingyan, to the death!"
In the chaos of the army, Pei Xingyan wielded a pair of bright silver hammers and charged left and right, killing countless enemies. But no matter how much he yelled, none of the Zhu army generals came forward to fight with him. Pei Xingyan was so angry that he was helpless.
"What can a mere man's bravery do in a battlefield battle? How brave Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was, but he was defeated by Han Xin in the end!"
General Sheng Yong of the Zhu Army glanced at Pei Xingyan with a sneer, and calmly mobilized his soldiers to surround Pei Xingyan, while he led the main force to charge forward.
The Zhu army was twice as powerful as the Sui army, and those who were greedy and fearful of death had fled long before the incident. Those who remained were not necessarily loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and his son, but at least they were more bloody than those soldiers who had deserted. However, it is impossible to escape and disrupt the army's position.
Wang Zhongsi and Fu Youde were proficient in the art of war, and they were well-organized in every move they made when deploying their troops. Pei Xingyan and Guo Zhiyun were also brave generals who were champions of the three armies, but their opponents Zhu Di and Sheng Yong were not fuel-efficient lamps either. Although the Sui army occupied the dangerous position first and had a commanding position, they came in a hurry after all, and the fortifications they built were not strong. This advantage was quickly wiped out after a close encounter with the Zhu army.
As time went by, Zhu Di's army, which had a numerical advantage, gradually gained the initiative on the battlefield. While the Sui army, under the command of Fu Youde and Wang Zhongsi, did not collapse across the board, it was indeed gradually retreating.
"Come on, brothers!"
As if he saw the dawn of victory, Zhu Di was so powerful at this time that he drank and drank.
"Kill, capture Zhu Di alive!"
"Don't let a traitor escape!"
"Whoever captures Zhu Di alive will receive a reward of one thousand taels!"
At this moment, there were loud killing cries from behind Zhu Jun. Tens of thousands of troops trampled on them, sending smoke and dust billowing into the air, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami overwhelming them.
Qin Qiong, the commander-in-chief of the Sui army, has a seven-jeweled gold helmet on his head, wears dragon-scale gold armor, wears tiger-head combat boots, holds a tiger-head dipped in gold spear, and has two gold maces on his back, urging the yellow-fat horse under his crotch to penetrate the bones, and the horse takes the lead. , shouted in a loud voice: "Little thief Zhu Di, you have no way out, why don't you get off your horse and be bound!"
The Sui general beside Qin Qiong was more than nine feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, holding a large iron spear and majestic. He was none other than Luo Shixin, the brave general of the Sui army.
Although Zhong Shidao is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, with rich literary and military skills and rich experience, he is not the most outstanding general in the long history. And his opponents are not only several times more powerful than him, but also Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Qin The combination of Yong, Wang Zhen, Zhang Shuye and many other Sui army generals was far superior to his more than 10,000 rear army generals in terms of quality and quantity.
Zhong Shidao tried his best and struggled for nearly an hour, but was finally defeated by the Sui army and died under Luo Shixin's gun.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Qin Qiong has entered the battle state, the force is +5, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 102."
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Luo Shixin has entered the tiger state, the force is +6, the base force is 103, and the current force has increased to 109."
Qin Qiong's tens of thousands of Sui troops rushed into the back of Zhu Jun with great force, like a sharp knife, instantly tearing through Zhu Jun's defense. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Qin Yong and other Sui generals who had the courage to defeat thousands of others Under the leadership, they charged into the battle wantonly and harvested the heads like melons and vegetables. They killed Zhu Jun's heads until their heads were rolling, and their corpses were scattered all over the field.
"Heaven won't help me, heaven won't help me!"
When the battle to break out of the siege was almost complete, Zhu Di couldn't help shouting to the sky. He drew his sword out of its sheath and was about to kill himself with the sword.
"Master, you must not do this!"
Sheng Yong on the side had quick eyes and quick hands and hurriedly grabbed Zhu Di.
Zhu Di pushed Sheng Yong away and gave a helpless smile, saying: "Qin Qiong has led his army to pursue us. The Sui army is attacking our army from front to back and trying to break out of the encirclement is nothing more than an idiot's dream. Why am I still greedy for this life at this time? Am I still waiting? Will it bring shame on my father to be captured by the Sui army?"
"Young master is the most powerful arm of Prince Ming. How can you die so easily?"
Sheng Yong took a deep breath and whispered: "At this point, it is impossible for our army to break through, but you, sir, should not die here. While our army still has the strength to fight, sir, please change your position quickly." Put on your soldier's clothes and take advantage of the chaos to escape. At the end of the day, the general will stay in the middle army to replace the young master and command the entire army to cover the young master's departure."
"General Sheng, you..."
Zhu Di wanted to say something, but Sheng Yong didn't wait for Zhu Di to speak and winked at several of Zhu Di's soldiers. The soldiers understood and immediately stepped forward to take off Zhu Di's armor and hand it to Sheng Yong. They quickly put Zhu Di into soldier clothes, dragged Zhu Di and ran out among the crowd.
"Brothers, fight with the Sui dogs!"
Watching Zhu Di go away, Sheng Yong focused all his energy on the battlefield in front of him, shouting loudly and commanding the entire army to fight the Sui army.
"Ignorant rebels, come quickly and die!"
In the sound of swords and soldiers clashing, the brave general Luo Shixin killed thousands of troops and came straight to the central army.
"Protect the young master!"
When several Zhu Jun generals saw Luo Shixin heading straight for the Chinese army to kill him, and did not know that Zhu Di had already left, they all urged their horses to come to intercept Luo Shixin.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Luo Shixin roared angrily, raised his spear and stabbed. The big iron spear was as fast as lightning. In an instant, it penetrated the chest pain of a Zhu Jun general. He threw his hand and threw the corpse of the captain in front of him. Three Zhu Jun generals rushed up from behind. He was immediately smashed and flew out.
The remaining two Zhu Jun generals were shocked by Luo Shixin's bravery and were stunned on the spot for a moment. When he came to his senses, Luo Shixin had already galloped to the front. He only heard two screams and the two men also fell off their horses and died.
"Quick, stop this person, stop this person!"
Sheng Yong was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered his troops to intercept him.
"The thief shall die!"
Just as Sheng Yong commanded his troops to intercept Luo Shixin, there was another roar from the other side. Pei Xingyan swung his hammers to kill through the crowd and came straight towards the Chinese army.
But at this time, Sheng Yong had no extra troops around him and could only sit back and watch Pei Xingyan kill them all. The plum blossoms and silver hammers were raised high, and they fell like the top of Mount Tai.
Sheng Yong gritted his teeth and stepped forward to block. There was just a "click" sound, the pole broke, and the bright silver hammer struck Sheng Yong in the head with the sound of howling wind. Sheng Yong screamed and fell off his horse and died on the spot.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Pei Xingyan killed Sheng Yong with a hammer. The host received 10 soul points. The current total number of soul points has increased to 551."
Pei Xingyan smashed Sheng Yong to death with a hammer, then stepped forward and smashed the flag of the commander of the Central Army with a hammer, shouting loudly: "The traitor Zhu Di is dead, is there anyone left to resist?"
The main general died in the battle, and the remaining Zhu army was attacked from two sides by the Sui army, knowing that there was no hope of breaking out. Faced with such a desperate situation, even the most generous people will inevitably become discouraged. Under the powerful offensive of the Sui army and the call for surrender, the war soon came to an end.
. . . . . . . . . .
Besides, Zhu Di was dragged away by a few soldiers and fled around among the rebels. With his familiarity with the terrain, he finally escaped deep into the dense forest and escaped from the main battlefield.
Zhu Di was reluctant to run away at first, but thanks to the loyalty of these soldiers, they held on to Zhu Di and pulled him out of danger.
Seeing that he was far away from the Chinese army, Zhu Di later gave up his struggle. After entering the dense forest, several soldiers were preparing to take Zhu Di further west to join Zhu Yuanzhang's army in the Boling and Zhaojun areas.
"Can't go west!"
At this moment, Zhu Di stopped these soldiers and said: "Sheng Yong can only deceive me by pretending to be me for a while. The Sui army will soon find out and will definitely order the states and counties along the way to conduct detailed checks on all travelers. From here, head west When we are hundreds of miles away from Zhaojun and Boling, we have nothing to fear if there is a large army nearby. But now we only have a few people and dozens of county government officers can capture us alive. Going west is too risky and it is no longer possible. Walk!"
"What does the young master mean?"
"Go east, go back!"
Zhu Di said categorically: "The Sui army is currently eager to go north to Youzhou. Temujin and Wanyan Aguda have hundreds of thousands of troops. They have no time to take care of their father in a short period of time. We can cross the Yellow River, go to Qingzhou, detour through the Central Plains, and then return to Hebei .Although it will take a lot of time to take a long detour, the situation in Hebei is unlikely to change drastically in this short time."
Several soldiers were Zhu Di's subordinates, and it was helpless to ask Zhu Di to leave before. At this moment, seeing that Zhu Di had regained his composure and analyzed things clearly and logically, he followed Zhu Di back to the east along the original route.
Zhu Di and his party had abandoned their horses when they rushed into the dense forest, and now they could only rely on their own two legs to go back. Fortunately, these people had been marching for many years and had excellent physical fitness. They ran all the way without stopping and arrived at the edge of the Yellow River at dawn the next day.
"Presumably it is impossible for the Sui army to search for the enemy commander on their own territory. As long as we cross the Yellow River, we will be safe!" Zhu Di encouraged several soldiers with a smile on his face.
But at this moment, there was a sudden rush of horse hoofbeats, accompanied by the faint ringing of bells. Zhu Di's face changed in shock. He followed the sound and found a horse team of forty or fifty people galloping from the front. Come, everyone is wearing brocade and beautiful clothes.
The man at the head of the cavalry was a dignified man, eight feet tall, carrying a long sword, a strong bow on his shoulder, and an iron chain hanging from his waist. He looked really majestic from a distance.
The cavalry collided with Zhu Di and others head-on. They immediately stopped their mounts and divided into two columns to surround Zhu Di and others.
"What do you do?"
The man at the head of the cavalry urged his horse to take two steps forward, glanced at Zhu Di and others, and asked in a deep voice.
