Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 245 The Battle of Pengze ([-]rd)

Hou Fangyu is not only good at writing prose, he is one of the four sons of the late Ming Dynasty, a great talent with a beautiful mind and a good plan, and he was born in a family of generals. Both his father and son belong to the Donglin Party, and his father Hou Xun is a general. He commanded thousands of troops to march south During the Northern War, once, Zuo Liangyu, who was famous for a while, was still his young general in front of the account, Hou Xunguan went to the Minister of the Household Department, and later took the blame for unemployment, and his life was full of ups and downs.

Hou Fangyu also acquired a lot of military skills from his father, and he also dabbled in military books and war strategies.Otherwise, he would not become one of Zuo Liangyu's think tanks. This time Zuo Liangyu gave his son Zuo Menggeng's [-] army the first battle, and wanted his son to experience more. He led the brigade as a backup, and Hou Fangyu became Zuo Meng The role of Geng's military adviser.

It's a pity that Zuo Menggeng and Zu Keyong are arrogant and arrogant. They rely on their bravery and have many soldiers. They don't pay attention to the emperor's tens of thousands of horses. , stick to Pengze, and wait for work with ease.

If he had deployed according to his strategy, the situation would definitely not be the way it is now, at least Zuo Menggeng's [-] troops would not be defeated so quickly or so badly.

Now standing on the top of the city, he saw that their young commander, General Zuo, had returned after being defeated. The team was not huge, at most, it looked like 6000-[-] people.

Hou Fangyu's heart turned. At the beginning, Hou did not advocate this style of play. It's a pity that you insisted on refusing to listen. You used your own will and underestimated the enemy. How are you doing now?Just come back with such a few soldiers and horses, that is an army of one hundred thousand!

Some generals suggested that he quickly send people out of the city to meet their young commander. Hou Fangyu shook his head, because at this time he saw that there were fewer pursuers from the imperial court, no more than three thousand at most, and he also saw Zhu Yousong's figure. Mr. Hou, who has lived in the capital for a long time and fooled around with Qian Qianyi, who specializes in opposing the court, of course knows His Majesty today.

Hou Fangyu rolled his eyes and thought about it.

He did not send a single soldier to meet Zuo Menggeng's remnants and defeated generals, but ordered the city gate to be opened wide, and half of the [-] soldiers guarding the city were drawn, and a thousand crossbowmen were ambushed just near the city gate.

At this time, Zuo Menggeng's men entered the city.

"Quickly close the city gate!" Zuo Menggeng ignored the others after he came in, and yelled at the guards as soon as he entered the city.

Because they were chased for more than 30 miles, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were still biting them. His brave general Zu Keyong hadn't followed up after a long time. , there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, he was being chased so fiercely, and he could tell that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would never give up easily this time.

"But General, Mr. Hou ordered us not to close the city gate." A general responded.

Hearing this, Zuo Menggeng wished to pull this young master Hou to his face and tear him apart.We have all been hunted down to this point, are you, Hou Fangyu, blind?It's fine if you don't send a soldier out of the city to meet us. Now that we have entered the city, you don't let the city gate be closed. Isn't this letting the soldiers of the imperial court follow us in and arrest us?Which one do you belong to? Could it be that this beast turned his back and surrendered to the imperial court?
"Who do you listen to? I am the general! ... Where is Hou Fangyu!" Zuo Menggeng yelled angrily.

"General, calm down." Hou Fangyu had already appeared in front of his horse. Seeing that the young master was angry, he hurriedly explained, "I have already planned, there are 1 defenders in the city, and the general brought back thousands of soldiers and horses. There are more than 3000 people in the city, but I can see that there are only [-] chasing soldiers, and Zhu Yousong is still inside, so I want to introduce them into the city. General, forgive me face to face."

When Zuo Menggeng heard that the spark of hope flashed in his eyes again, his spirit suddenly came up again, "Oh, my son is really Zhuge in the world. This commander has wrongly blamed you. I regret that I should not listen to you. Otherwise, wouldn't you? Today's defeat?" Zuo Menggeng turned his anger into joy, praised and apologized again and again.

Hou Fangyu was also happy, "General, you don't have to blame yourself. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. What's more, good luck, misfortune, misfortune, and good fortune. Please pack up your troops quickly, and capture the king and kill him here." In one fell swoop."

At this time, almost all the defeated generals who followed Zuo Menggeng ran into the city, and Zhu Yousong's men also chased to the bottom of the city. Zhu Yousong saw that the city gate had not been closed in time, so that he could avoid attacking the city. He shouted an order, "Follow me into the city and take down Pengze in one fell swoop!"

Zhu Yousong took the lead and rushed into the city with four generals and three thousand cavalry like a whirlwind.Before the people behind rushed to the bottom of the city, at this moment, the city gate was closed, and the four gates were tightly closed and locked firmly.

After Zhu Yousong and the others entered the city, they rushed to kill them. At this time, ambushes were everywhere at the gate of the city, and thousands of arrows were fired, and the raindrops of arrows covered the sky and the sun.For a time, among Zhu Yousong's cavalry, there were not a few people who fell from their horses and rushed to the front.

Zhu Yousong swung his big sword, protecting his body and his horse, and the arrows shot at him changed directions one after another. Around Zhu Yousong were escorted by Liu Zhaoji, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Damu and Li Yusong. Quan, the four generals waved their broadswords to block the eagle feathers, and the five rushed to the front of the team, forming a solid wall, and the arrows shot were scattered all over the ground.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be an ambush in the city, retreat quickly." Zheng Hongkui was worried about His Majesty's safety, and persuaded him while fighting.

"If there is an ambush, I'm afraid we won't be able to withdraw at this time. Even if we fight all out today, we will take down Pengze, kill, kill, kill!" Zhu Yousong's eyes were firm, and he spoke decisively. Charge with arrow rain.

His war horse was like a flash of red lightning, and Zhu Yousong danced the sword impenetrably while riding on the horse. From the visual point of view, people felt that he was enveloped by a cloud of sword light, which rushed towards the judge at the speed of a galloping horse. In the army camp, wherever the sword light came, the rain of arrows fell like a celestial maiden scattered flowers, falling into the dust.

The emperor was the first to lead the soldiers, and the other generals had nothing to say, but they all made up their minds to be loyal to the country, shouting and looking at Zhu Yousong to charge.

However, not every one of the three thousand soldiers had Zhu Yousong's two strikes. Under the pressure of the dense arrow rain, they could hardly move forward, and fell to the ground one after another.Even Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Damu, Li Quan, and Liu Jizhao, the four generals with high martial arts skills, can only make it so that the rain of arrows cannot hurt them, and it is difficult to move forward.

Seeing that only Zhu Yousong rushed to the front with one rider and one rider, and the other soldiers would be suppressed, Liu Zhaoji became impatient, worried that His Majesty might make a mistake. Shout, "Brothers in the army, get on your bows and arrows!"
