Chapter 517: Battle of Baigou River (Part )
[Ping An. Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, and the son of Ping Ding, the commander of Jining Guard.]

[In his early years, he followed Zhu Di to fight in the frontier. 】

[His father died in battle while following Chang Yuchun to conquer Yuan Dadu, Ping An inherited his father's position and later served as the commander of Miyun and deputy governor of the Right Army.]

【The Miyun Army under his command was feared in Liaodong.】

【At that time, the Ming army's front troops pressed forward, and the Yan army's infantry and cavalry moved forward together to withstand the pressure. 】

[Li Jinglong sent cavalry from both wings to attack. The vanguard defeated the left wing of the Yan army safely but was stopped by the rear wing of the Yan army.]

[At this time, Wu Jie, the Marquis of Anlu, who was on the right wing of the Yan army, divided his troops to attack, and the Yan army was surrounded on all sides.]

……

{It’s time to make dumplings.}
{This situation is a pure crushing situation.}
{This is how war is fought, no one is so foolish as to insist on using the few to defeat the many or the weak to defeat the strong.}
{The reason why the weak defeating the strong is so popular is because it is so difficult to achieve, but it is only the lucky bias that makes us think that this is called fighting.}
……

Big man.

Looking at the Yan army that was surrounded, Lü Zhi suddenly said:

"It was amazing that Zhu Di suddenly led his troops to charge out at this time."

Liu Bang shuddered suddenly and immediately shouted:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

A malicious look fell on him.

"Oh? Is it really impossible?"

"This Jingnan Campaign lasted for four years."

"You know what this means better than me, right?"

Liu Bang glared fiercely at the sneering Lu Zhi.

The Han Dynasty would not allow such a terrible joke to happen!

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Do you see it."

Liu Che pointed at the sky, glanced at Huo Qubing and emphasized his tone.

"The way your uncle fights is a real fight!"

"Don't rush thousands of miles without any reason!"

"That's a side road."

Huo Qubing smiled with a bit of rogueness in his expression.

"Your Majesty, what is the right way and the wrong way?"

"Winning the war is the best way."

"As for the siege in the sky, it may seem grand, but it is actually full of loopholes."

Liu Che snorted lightly.

"You're the only one who can do it! That's enough."

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

"Almost, just a little bit."

Liu Chan asked curiously:

"Father, what's just a little bit short?"

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and sighed:
"When the Marquis of Huaiyin surrounded the Overlord of Western Chu, the battle formation was similar, and the number of troops and horses was about the same."

"But the Marquis of Huaiyin has an extra layer of defense."

"That is to divide the formation into three layers, one layer within the other, and consume them in a chain."

"The purpose is to wait for the opportunity to work."

"Without any reinforcements, as long as we can surround the enemy commander, we will win the battle."

"The most taboo thing at this time is to take the initiative to attack."

"Because your desire to win is far less than the other side's, as long as there is a fierce general who throws his troops out."

"This enemy attack on the flank is both a way of death and a way of survival!"

Liu Chan nodded.

"Then, Father Prime Minister, how did Xiang Yu get out?"

Zhuge Liang paused as he twirled his beard.

How did you get out?

He just came out with 800 cavalrymen!
"Charge!"

……

[Noticing the danger in the rear, Zhu Di asked his second son Zhu Gaoxu to stay in the central army, while he led the elite troops to urgently support the rear army. ]

[Zhu Di led his men to the rear army and managed to stabilize the situation.]

【But after Ping An and Wu Jie joined forces, the rear army of the Yan army could no longer hold on.】

[He then ordered Zhu Gaoxu, who was in the central army, to bring all the cavalry to support.]

……

On the canopy.

Li Jinglong stood on a temporary platform built in front of the central army tent.

Behind him, a large wooden flag stood tall.

Above the banner was a satin curtain with six large characters "General Li, the Conqueror General" written in black on a red background.

"Report... The Yan army's Hu cavalry has begun to raid the battlefield!"

"Report... The entire Yan army is advancing, and the battle in the center is in full swing!"

"Report... The enemy is attacking our left wing, and Lord Guo's formation is a little messy!"

The flag officer on the watchtower kept waving command flags and translated the battlefield situation from the flag signals from the flag bearers in the formation and fed back to the commander-in-chief.

Li Jinglong was wearing a set of golden armor and a red cloak. He held the hilt of the sword with his left hand and stood in front of the command platform with a solemn face.

Dust was flying dozens of miles ahead, and shouts of killing were rising into the sky.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his brows furrowed.

"Report... General Ping and Marquis Wu have broken through the left wing of the Yan army and are in a stalemate with the rear of the Yan army!"

"Report... Three thousand elite cavalrymen of the Yan army broke into the Wu Marquis's camp. Judging from the flags, they must be the Yan commoner's personal army!"

Li Jinglong suddenly opened his eyes wide!
"He wants to run?!"

"Quick! Let the front troops intensify the offensive!"

"Let Guo Hou stabilize the left wing!"

As the command flag was waved, the picture rose again.

The battle situation between the two sides came into view.

Just as the Ming army pressed forward to the front line, a cavalry of several thousand rushed out from the left wing of the Yan army at high speed!

Non-stop, with a clear purpose,
Directly pointing to Li Jinglong’s camp!
……

[At that time, the Yan army had only 13,000 cavalrymen. Zhu Di led 3,000 cavalrymen to stabilize the rear army, and then sent out all the cavalrymen in the central army.]

[After leaving behind another 3,000 cavalrymen as support, he and his second son Zhu Gaoxu led 7,000 cavalrymen to take advantage of the gap on the left and head straight for the rear of the Ming army! ]

……

{Interspersed beheadings, what a joke, Judy!}
{This is extremely courageous. One mistake will lead to the collapse of the army.}
{This is the skill and personal charm... and they are the rebels, the soldiers have to fight to the death, their families are still in Peking.}
{Besides, who said that a sneak attack requires a big banner?}
...the Tang Dynasty.

"The right time, right place, and right people are all essential."

Li Shimin clapped the book in his hands.

"Zhu Di, as a vassal king, fought against the mighty Ming army."

“You can imagine how difficult it is.”

"It's a pity that the world that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to stabilize was destroyed by his own children and grandchildren."

"I wonder what he would think if he knew about this in the afterlife?"

……

Ming dynasty.

"You two losers!"

In Kunning Palace, little Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang jumped.

"Did you guys squander all the wealth I've accumulated?!"

Following the words came a flying shoe!
Little Zhu Di dodged left and right, but was finally hit.

Because the first shoe is a feint, and the second shoe is the killer move!
"Ouch!"

Little Zhu Di covered his face.

Aggrieved:
"It's not me who started this!"

"Go beat Zhu Yunwen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was held by Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's legs, stretched his neck and said angrily:

"If we can't beat you, we'll just beat you!"

Little Zhu Di covered his face and said angrily:
"Who said we can't hit it? Don't we have the stone mirror?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Empress Ma poked her head out from behind Old Zhu and said:

"Don't talk nonsense! Chongba, don't mess around! That thing can only be used five times!"

"Good steel should be used on the blade!"

Looking at the embarrassed old Zhu, Empress Ma gritted her teeth and let go of her hand while young Zhu Di was shocked.

"If it doesn't work, just beat up Old Four to vent your anger!"

Zhu Biao also let go of his hand at the same time.

A hint of a triumphant smile flashed across Lao Zhu's lips.

Little Zhu Di looked back at the palace gate that had long been closed.

"Dad, let me tell you first."

"We don't slap each other in the face."

……

[Seven thousand cavalry is not a small number, and they will be very eye-catching when they run.]

[After Li Jinglong discovered that such a cavalry was approaching him rapidly, he ordered his central army to go and fight.]

[But he also discovered that this cavalry was heading straight for the rear army.]

【The rear army had Xu Huizu's 30,000 troops to support it. He felt that 7,000 cavalrymen were against 30,000 rear troops and tens of thousands of central troops.】

[This cavalry unit is doomed, so I continue to focus on the battlefield. ]

[Yes, he made the same mistake as Geng Bingwen.]

[He thought Zhu Di was attacking Wu Jie, Ping An and others.]

[Zhu Di had no intention of charging directly into the camp from the beginning. He knew that his limited number of men could not get in.]

[So he went around to the windward side of the Ming army and set fire! ]

……

On the canopy.

"Report...Yan Yan's people have broken through the rear army..."

Li Jinglong looked in the direction of the rear army with a grim face.

There was a red light rising into the sky.

"Send an order...Order the front troops to return for reinforcement."

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
Gao Yang grinned.

"What a stupid, stupid move."

……

Northern Zhou Dynasty: Emperor Wu Period
Yuwen Yong was speechless.

The front troops should not be moved.

……

[In April, strong winds often blew across the North China Plain. In a blink of an eye, the fire grew larger, and Zhu Di took the opportunity to charge into the camp.]

[Their goal is clear: to kill and burn people and destroy the enemy leaders.]

[Li Jinglong was forced to join forces with the front army. The front army, which was fighting in front, saw the fire in the main camp and heard the cannon fire that indicated the danger of the main camp, and immediately returned to provide support.]

【However, the army was out of control at this time. 】

[The main force of the Yan army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Zhu Gaoxu killed his way through the central army like Xiang Yu was reborn. ]

[The situation instantly turned into a two-pronged attack by the Yan army against the Ming army.]

……

On the canopy.

A fierce general, his body covered in blood, led the way, swinging his lance.

Behind him was Zhu Di with a white beard stained with blood and a bow and arrow flying.

A group of iron cavalrymen, roaring like wolves and tigers, rushed straight to the location of the banner like arrows!
Li Jinglong looked at the evil general who was almost at his doorstep, and his whole body was shaking with fear and anger.

"General, withdraw!"

A personal soldier stepped forward and said urgently:
"It'll be too late if you don't leave!"

Li Jinglong took a deep look at the prince who was fighting bloody battles.

"withdraw!"

……

[Finally, without receiving any flag signals, the Ming army collapsed.]

【The defeat was like a landslide, and the situation was out of control. 】

[The three men, Qu Neng and his son, who came back to help, were killed in the battle, and Yu Tongyuan and his son were also killed in the battle.]

[In this battle, the government troops suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties, and from then on they were unable to hold out and were no longer able to organize large-scale military operations.]

[The offensive and defensive attitudes of the imperial court and the Yan army also changed from then on. ]

[The imperial court switched from attack to defense, while the Yan army frequently invaded the south, often drinking water on the Huai River, and their military momentum was unstoppable.]
