Chapter 118: Vanguard
At the end of July in the third year of Jianwen, the King of Yan led an army of more than 200,000 soldiers to surround the county town of Pei County, and tried to persuade them to surrender by shooting arrows into the city, but was rejected. Then he fired more than a thousand large and small cannons on all sides, and the whole county was filled with smoke.
The Prince of Yan believed that the county seat of Pei could be captured at any time, so he sent Zhu Gaoxu as the vanguard and led 5,000 infantry and cavalry from his own army and 3,000 cavalry from the vassal states to march south, with the vanguard approaching Xuzhou.
Zhu Gaoxu received the order and led his people to leave Pei County. After walking for half a day, they could still vaguely hear the sound of cannons coming from the north.
A large number of troops and horses were moving on the road like a black dragon. No civilians were seen on the plains. They probably hid after hearing the cannon fire. Z

A few days later, the Prince of Yan captured Pei County and immediately led his army south to Xuzhou. At that time, the Xuzhou government troops had lost the battle with the vanguard Zhu Gaoxu's troops and had closed the city to defend it. So the northern army surrounded Xuzhou and built siege fortifications.Two days after the artillery fire, the Northern Army did not use infantry to attack the city, but sent cavalry out to collect food. It was just as Zhu Gaoxu had expected...an army of more than 200,000 soldiers could not march south without food!One day, Zhu Gaoxu led his personal soldiers to inspect the four fields, but he saw a busy farming scene. In the rice fields that had not yet been harvested, many militiamen were busy working, and there were some cavalrymen with bows and arrows wandering around on the ridges of the fields to supervise.Zhu Gaoxu could not help but stop his horse and watch, and was also surprised... After six hundred years, the m
Game of the Throne Chapter 120: Uncle's Kind Words
"Even your uncle praised you highly for the battle in Xuzhou." Prince Yan looked at Zhu Gaoxu.Xu Huizu praised him, how did the Prince of Yan know? Zhu Gaoxu immediately thought of the traitor, the news came really fast... My father was not only good at fighting on the battlefield, but also played a big role in arranging spies, and he could often know the deployment of the government troops in advance.Before he could speak, the King of Yan paused for a moment and said, "Gao Xu is good at using cavalry. You have too few soldiers, Zhang Wu!"Zhang Wu stepped out and said, "I will be here."King Yan said, "You and the twelve elite cavalrymen of our army will follow Gao Xu and be under his command."Zhang Wu clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command!"Zhang Wu is no longer a captain of the guards. Because Zhu Gaoxu had tried his best to commend him and he made meritorious contributions several times later, he was promoted to the positi

In mid-October, although the Suishui River had not frozen, it was still damp and cold.Jin Shitou was in He Fu's army. He stood on the north bank of the stream, jumping repeatedly to shake off the cold water on his body. Not long ago, before dawn, he was laying wooden boards on the pontoon bridge. He couldn't see clearly and accidentally fell into the river. Fortunately, he grabbed the wooden stakes and climbed up. His lower body was completely wet, and he was shivering with cold."Bang! Bang..." The sound of hammers hitting wooden piles was scattered and even, and the brothers on the bridge were still reinforcing the wooden piles. The water in the creek was not deep, and the soldiers used ropes to secure the boats. Since the Northern Army had more cavalry, they rammed wooden piles in the middle of the river to stabilize the pontoon bridge, so that the cavalry could also cross the river quickly."Jin Shitou is a tough guy, you better warm yourself up by the

Jin Shitou reached out his hand and wiped the eyes of the man on the ground, then stood up, followed the direction the wounded soldier was facing, and glanced at the sun in the sky.At this moment, a voice said, "General Chen Wen, the deputy governor of the right wing, was beheaded in Ping An's battle!"Captain Wang's voice said, "Shut up!"There were loud footsteps coming from the front, and from the sound, it was known that a large number of government troops were approaching. According to the generals' previous discussion, the people coming from the south should be the troops of He Fu, the general of the government army.Jin Shitou was choked by the smell of gunpowder in the air and coughed twice. The soldiers around him also coughed, but no one said a word. The atmosphere was very dull and weird. Jin Shitou stared, swallowed his saliva, and listened to the footsteps and drums in the distance.Captain Wang shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

Qiu Fu rubbed his round forehead vigorously with his thick fingers, straightened up and looked around, trying to figure out the situation on the battlefield.On the north bank of the Sui River, the fields looked like a huge pot of boiling porridge. The dust raised by the horsemen drifted across the land like a muddy flood. There were also scattered soldiers running around, making the battlefield even more chaotic.While observing the chaos in his sight, Qiu Fu was thinking hard, trying to connect the scene before him with the initial deployment and thread the needle!His troops first assembled and deployed their troops in the military camp on the north bank of the creek, and then advanced toward the pontoon bridge in the south, hoping to recapture the several pontoon bridges that had been built with great effort.But after He Fu's troops crossed the river, their strength increased. Therefore, Chen Wen's Northern Army, which was located behind Qiu Fu, w

Several floating bridges on the Suishui River were shrouded in thick white fog early in the morning. On the north bank, the muddy ground had become very hard after being trampled by countless people and horses. The thousands of troops and horses of yesterday were no longer here.Only a few knights were wandering on the north bank. The knights' bodies rose and fell slightly on their horses, and they turned their heads to observe the other side of the floating bridge.At this moment, there was a "whoosh" sound in the air, and a heavy arrow came flying through the air! A Northern Army knight was startled and kicked his horse hard. At this time, the arrow had already landed on the hard soil next to it, and it went deep into the ground with a "puff" sound, and the tail of the arrow feather was still shaking violently.The mount was suddenly kicked, and it let out a startled "hiss" and started running away.After a while, the Yan army in the north fired two

"Clang!" There was a clang of armor, and Zhu Gaoxu pressed his hands on the bed board and lifted his heavy upper body up from the quilt. The voice in the dream is still ringing in my ears: selling straw sandals, selling straw sandals...He opened his eyes and looked at the simple wooden table next to him. Under the nearly burned out candle, the candle tears melted into a ball. By the light of the candle, the gold inlaid on the sheath of the Yanling Sword glowed with a metallic luster.Zhu Gaoxu let out a breath and shook his heavy head. He didn't know why he dreamed that he was selling straw sandals instead of paying off a small loan. But after waking up from the dream, it will be fine. He is still the king of the county and his wealth is still there.He asked outside the oilcloth curtain, "What time is it now?"The man on duty outside the tent replied, "Go back to your lord, it's almost five o'clock."Zhu Gaoxu stood up, took the Yanling knife a

Zhu Gaoxu led the troops for a long time when they heard a loud cannon shot in the distance, just like a thunder in the sky. Many soldiers looked sideways in the direction of the sound.Not long after, the muskets over there started firing "bang bang bang..." Zhu Gaoxu sighed immediately, thinking that today's battlefield would start in chaos again.Zhu Gaoxu was not originally a forward, but now most of the forward Li Bin went to blockade and encircle the basket, so Zhu Gaoxu became a forward again.He looked far into the distance at the shadows of the mountains, which were looming in the white mist. The mountain, which was as high as his eyebrows, had arches on both sides and a valley in the middle. From a distance, it did look a bit like two eyebrows.Although the shadow of Mount Qimei was now visible, according to Zhu Gaoxu's experience, it would take a while to walk over there.The cannon sound just now was so loud that it was probably not a
