Chapter 73 The Decisive Battle (Part 2) Amidst the anticipation and anxiety, time passed little by little. After three days and nights, the day of the decisive battle finally arrived. Early that morning, Dingzhu specially ordered someone to boil a large amount of hot water for him, cleaned his body from top to bottom, and then asked his concubine to comb his hair and tidy his beard. Then, he walked to the side hall of the temporary residence and followed Li Siqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, He Weiwei, the Envoy of the Privy Council, and the Protectorate Army of Ten Thousand Households, Li Sishun, the Deputy of the Protectorate Army of Ten Thousand Households, Zhending Ludalu Huachi, the Loyalty and Salvation Army of Ten Thousand Households Li Hanqing, the Mongolian Army of Ten Thousand Households Biadu Laha, and the Tanma Red Army of Ten Thousand Households Hu Guo Zeshan and a dozen other deputy Wanhu and Qianhu people enjoyed breakfast together. Because no one knew how long this battle would last, everyone ate very slowly and tried their best to choose meat, cheese and other foods so that their physical strength and energy would not become unsustainable. The red tape between superiors and subordinates when dining at the same table has been completely thrown aside, and no one will deliberately take it into consideration. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that this is a crucial battle. If they win by luck, the Red Thieves will not have the strength to make a comeback within three years. And if they are defeated, there will be no soldiers from Cangzhou to Dadu who dare to fight. Even if the Yuan Dynasty did not The country will be destroyed immediately, and it will probably take ten years to rebuild the country under the control of the prince. And the prince Aiyou knew Li Dala, and he was not a ambitious hero. Everyone had killed so many people from the prince's line on Tuohuan Timur's order. If they went to Ji Ning in the future, they would definitely end up in trouble. As for Zhu Tutu's fate, there is no need to think too much. Dingzhu and He Weiwei are both prime ministers of the Yuan Dynasty. Even Hama knew that to save his face, he chose to go to Aluhui Timur outside the Great Wall. How could the two of them Li Siqi and Li Sishun were willing to serve as captives. They were Zhao Junyong's confidants back then. From the day they surrendered their troops and artillery to accept the recruitment, there was no way back. As for Li Hanqing, it was even more so. The butchers' life-and-death enemies are sworn in with each other. "Cangzhou City is surrounded by plains. The truth is that thirty heavy cannons and one hundred and twenty four-pound cannons were placed on the four walls, and sixty were left in reserve. "Seeing everyone's expressions were extremely solemn, Dingzhu put down his chopsticks and confessed with a smile, "Unless Xu Dan can conjure a mountain on the spot, we will definitely not suffer any losses in terms of firearms this time." "The scouts have also found out. Wu Thief Liangmou, who has led his troops to sweep the place eastward in the past few days, will not rush back to join the battle. Wang Xuan's Sixth Army and Aslan's Ninth Army did not appear within a hundred miles. With Xu Da's To be cautious, he would leave one or two brigades to guard along the Zhang River to prevent Yue Kuochaer from stabbing him in the back. Based on this calculation, the Huai thieves who actually participated in the battle were only part of the Third Army and the Fourth Army. The total number of troops will not exceed 50,000." Zuo Xianghe also sat upright and listed a series of specific facts to boost morale. The Huai'an Army is equipped with a large number of firearms and is mainly infantry, so it has extremely strict requirements on the cooperation between the brothers and neighboring teams. The more tacit cooperation is required, the more important it is that the orders of the Chinese Army can be communicated as quickly and clearly as possible. Therefore, Xu Da cannot invest too many troops in a battle. Sixty thousand is almost the limit. Beyond this number, he cannot guarantee that he can effectively command. What the two prime ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty stated were all facts, and each was beneficial to their own side. However, after listening to this, Li Siqi, Gandulaha and others did not show any relief on their faces, and they just continued to chew the dried meat numbly. and cheese, and drank milk tea numbly, as if the soul had already flown out of the body. "I have also figured it out. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others." Dingzhu was stunned, quickly changed his mind, and added loudly, "If this battle is won, the truth will never take everyone back to Dadu, nor will he ask the prince Kneel down, let¡¯s just follow the example of the towns in Hebei in the late Tang Dynasty. From now on, each of us will occupy a piece of land and live our own lives behind closed doors.¡± This is also a true statement, because even if he can defeat Xu Da, he will still not be defeated. To be happy with the tolerance of Timur and his son, it is better to simply support the troops and respect themselves, build a larger vassal town, and then assess the situation and find other ways out. Everyone listened, and the expressions on their faces finally became more lively than before. They stopped their chopsticks one after another and responded with a forced smile, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a feudal lord. Li Keyong, the king of Jin, never let down the Tang Dynasty in his life. "Yes, the emperor is wise. We are good generals. Even if the emperor is stupid, we can still protect the land and the people." He was relatively small. He quickly followed Dingzhu's words and connected the situation at hand with the Huangchao Rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, Huangchao's Daqi also entered Chang'an, but within two years, Huangchao's reputation was ruined. On the other hand, those who had been defeated by Huang Chao's Jiedu from various places later lived a very prosperous life. If they wanted to send some money and food to the court, they would give it a little. Female, court?Don¡¯t have the guts to interfere too much. Thinking like this is a little refreshing. At this moment, there are suddenly several roars of artillery in the ears, "Boom, boom, boom." "Boom, boom, boom, boom," like thunder in the clear sky, shaking the eaves of the house. The soil falls. "Thief Xu betrayed his trust and fired in advance." Li Hanqing turned pale, stood up, and was about to go out to take control of his team. "It's an empty cannon. This guy can't bear his temper and is anxious to urge me to go out for a decisive battle." He Weiwei pressed his shoulders and announced loudly. "Boom, boom, boom." "Boom, boom, boom, boom" followed by the sound of artillery fire, but no shouts were heard. Obviously, He Weiwei's judgment was very accurate. Thief Xu was firing cannons to urge the battle, and It was not that they launched an attack on Cangzhou City in advance. "Then I will go and fulfill him." Dingzhu wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood up with all his strength, "According to the original arrangement, the Loyalty and Salvation Army will follow the Central Army and be directly dispatched by me. The other armies will follow Prime Minister He and "Master Li, let's go, we will fight to the death with Thief Xu today." "We will fight to the death." Except for Li Siqi, the other generals stood up and roared with gnashing teeth. Anyway, they were working hard sooner or later, so there was no need for everyone to delay. Soon, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were assembled, swarming out along the east and south gates of Cangzhou City, and used their rear troops to block the southeast corner of the city. , diagonally forming a large formation with the word "reverse base". This is the formation plan that Dingzhu and He only determined after repeated deductions on the sand table. They can make the most of the artillery on the south and east walls and several horse faces to suppress the enemy. Xu Da The camp was originally located about ten miles southeast of Cangzhou City. Leading the troops from that direction, they could just face the Yuan army head-on. "Boom, boom." "Boom, boom." "Boom, boom." The Huai'an army was still firing in the air, at a slow pace, echoing each other. They were not firing artillery to urge the battle, but using the loud sound of artillery to spread some kind of emergency. , or important news, and the distance between the teams they came to fight was indeed a bit far. It was difficult for every soldier to hear clearly with just flags and drums. "What is Thief Xu's idea?" Before he could arrange his troops in order, He Weiyi felt an ominous feeling in his heart, and he quickly handed over the rear army to his deputy, Zhongshu Zuo Chengteermutong. He led the army and personally rode his horse to the central army to remind Dingzhu. "It seems that more than just Xu Thief's third legion and Wu Yongchun's fourth legion are coming." The two brothers Li Siqi and Li Sishun also had very keen intuition. They arrived at the Chinese army almost at the same time as He Weiwei, and followed in a low voice with some anxiety. column discussion. "Indeed, it's not true. Wu Liangmou may have returned. No, it's not Wu Liangmou's fifth legion. The flags are different and the number of people is much smaller. You look to the east, due east." Dingzhu held up a heavy-priced aircraft to buy. I came with a large telescope and tried to distinguish the opponent's flag. "It's definitely not Wu Liangmou." Li Hanqing has been following the Huai'an Army for many years and can clearly remember the characteristics of each legion's flag recognition. Wu Liangmou is young and bold, and his ideas are wild and unconstrained, so in addition to the standard number and flag recognition, his fifth army usually also Raising dozens of tiger flags with wings to show off their military strength. Xu Da and Wu Yongchun, on the other hand, were much more low-key than him. One of their distinctive flags was a standard shield in the Huai'an army, and the other was a pair of crossed swords. Through the telescopes they acquired at a high price, He Weiwei and Li Si Shun, Li Hanqing and others can easily tell that Xu Da has brought out all the strength of the Third Army, and Wu Yongchun has about six brigades. At this moment, the two armies are slowly coming from the southwest and southeast. Assembling at the foot of Cangzhou City, the team coming from the east was carrying another banner, a bright moon, a rising sun, a vast expanse of land and ocean, the sun and moon rising together, always shining on China. "Boom." There was another cannon blast, and the bodies of Dingzhu, He Weiwei, Li Siqi, Li Sishun and others shook at the same time, and their faces became extremely solemn. "It's Zhu Tutu, Zhu Tutu's first legion. He, he may have come in person." Li Hanqing's reaction was stronger than anyone else's, and he gritted his teeth. He remembered that recognition flag too deeply. Back then, Zhu Tutu's ship had the same flag flying across the river to fulfill the agreement with Tuotuo. As a result, the gunpowder boat he carefully prepared was not used at all, and Tuotuo The prime minister vomited blood on the spot and died immediately. He hates, hates that person, hates that flag, hates that person for making his boss angry to death, hates that flag for ruining his dream of becoming a general and becoming a prime minister. If the Zhu Thief hadn't rebelled, he believed that he would be in Tuotuo. Under the guidance, he was able to reach the same position as He Weiwei. Even if it didn't go well, he could at least be on par with Zhongshu Zuocheng Han Yuanshan. But now, he could only beg for mercy under Dingzhu, and he was guarded like a thief. For a moment, Li Hanqing even forgotWith the ambition in his heart to win the championship in the future, he struggled and wanted to rally his team and pounce on the guy under the sun and moon flag, whether it was Zhu Tutu himself or not, and cut him into pieces. However, his arm was He was held tightly by two Mongolian warriors who suddenly came over. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move forward at all. "General Li is sick and talking nonsense. Come, please send him back to the city for treatment by a doctor." He Weiwei, with a livid face, ordered Qie Xue behind Li Hanqing. "Come here, tell me my order. From now on, the Loyalty and National Salvation Army will be handed over to Saraban, until General Li recovers." Dingzhu added tacitly, not giving Li Hanqing a chance to resist. "Yes." Several timid Xue men agreed in unison, picked up Li Hanqing, and dragged him towards the city gate. No matter how hard the man struggled and shouted, he would never relax. Deputy Wanhu Saraban of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army emerged from the crowd like a ghost, passed by Li Hanqing, bowed to the fixed pillar and saluted, "The last general is here, and the last general will live up to the expectations of the right prime minister." "Please?" "You?!" Li Hanqing's eyes widened and he dragged his legs on the ground. He lost all his strength in an instant. He had been planning for so long, how to betray others and how to obtain the greatest benefits. But he didn't expect that there were people around him who had already betrayed him and were already planning to replace him. "Hold on. If he dares to disturb the morale of our army, he will be killed immediately." Ding Zhutou urged loudly without looking back. Then he raised his telescope and continued to look due east carefully. Although Li Hanqing is ambitious, his knowledge is not bad. The battle flag slowly approaching from the east is indeed owned by the First Army. The team under the flag is not large in size, at most it is only a cavalry brigade. There were more than two thousand people, but everyone in the team was covered in soft silver armor, and the shining light on the iron helmet was dazzling and cold. "It's the Guards Brigade of the First Army Corps." Dingzhu heard Zuo Xiang Hewei analyze in his ear with a trembling voice, "Xu Hongsan's general flag is inside, on the left side of the center of the team, the one next to it, the sun and moon next to it The burly guy under the banner should be Zhu Chongjiu. "It's Zhu Chongjiu. I saw him in Xuzhou back then." Li Siqi's voice also sounded dry and tight, with a faint tremor. Zhu Chongjiu is here<spanclass='character'sty 8000 le='background-image:url(/img/1451896411574/32846786/7716016545893951725.png)'>He came by sea. Wu Liangmou killed him in the east a few days ago, not only In order to sweep away the strongholds of those powerful princes, he was also tasked with assisting Zhu Chongjiu and clearing the way for the Guards Brigade. When Zhu Chongjiu came, he actually abandoned Huaiyang, secretly left Xuzhou, and secretly came to the front of the battlefield. He wanted to personally command the battle and bury Dayuan with his own hands. Zhu Chongjiu came, and when he left, Huaiyang was safe and sound. Zhang Shicheng actually didn't send troops. Zhang Shicheng actually gave up the best opportunity in his life and was willing to be stepped on by him forever. In that moment, Dingzhu couldn't believe his eyes and ears, just Watching the team in the distance getting closer and closer, the iron-armored and black-faced general in the team looked like a god descending, with beating sunlight filling his body behind him. "Drive out the Tartars and restore the mountains and rivers." I don't know who took the lead, but a voice slowly sounded under the bright spring sun. At first, it was a little thin, but in an instant, it became extremely loud, like a dragon that had been sleeping for many years, suddenly leaping out of the abyss, and letting out its first long groan after waking up. "Drive out the Tartars, recover the mountains and rivers." "Drive out the Tartars, recover the mountains and rivers." "Drive out the Tartars, recover the mountains and rivers." In the loud "dragon roar", the Huai'an troops who came to join the battle quickly moved closer to each other, Battle flags fluttered in the wind. I haven¡¯t seen Wang Shijiu for a long time. This is the first time that the Han army has set foot on the land of Yanzhao since the establishment of the Yannan crossing. Before that, the Chinese survivors had endured more than two hundred and thirty years in the heavy dust. Year. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With a single hand on the spot, after all, I will return my ten thousand husbands. But among the men of the Han family, how many men will forget the shame of Jingkang, forget the legacy of Wu Mu, and forget that north of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall, our ancestors and sages overcame thorns and thorns to escape from the mouths of fierce beasts and poisonous snakes. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains recaptured. This was "the capital of Yao, the soil of Shun, and the seal of Yu." It never allowed outsiders to steal the possessions, nor allowed it to be defiled by enemies of civilization. Even if wild beasts and poisonous snakes succeeded for a while with the collusion of traitors, and even if black clouds covered the sky, Even if corpses litter the fields and seas of blood surge, one day, the sun and moon will rise again in the sky and illuminate this proud land. This is not a destiny written in a book by some great power.It is not a collision and vendetta between nations, but civilization must defeat barbarism, and creators must defeat plunderers. Otherwise, mankind will fall into the abyss of darkness forever. "Drive out the Tartars and recover the mountains and rivers." "Drive out the Tartars and recover the mountains and rivers." Listening to the earth-shattering shouts, Dingzhu suddenly felt guilty. He looked sideways and found that He Weiwei, Li Siqi and others also had Han expressions on their foreheads. , his face was as pale as paper. "I, the Yuan Dynasty, have established a tripod since the ancestors of the world, unified the universe, and spread virtue to all the people." He opened his voice, trying to lead the soldiers to boost morale, but found that the voice he shouted was so weak. At that time, the Yuan Dynasty founded the country by killing, slaughtered the grasslands, slaughtered Yanzhao, slaughtered Bianliang and Huaihe, slaughtered the Khitan, Jurchen, Dangxiang, and Han people until ten houses were empty, and slaughtered the fertile land of northern China. There has been no smoke for many years. What's the matter? Face, saying that one's virtue is admired by all people. "If killing more than 60% of tens of millions of people can be called virtuous government, then wouldn't all the wolves, tigers and leopards in the world be like Bodhisattvas with hairs, drinking blood and becoming Buddhas?" As for after the founding of the country, the people were divided into four classes, sitting together in the streets, abolishing the imperial examination, paying taxes, exchanging paper for gold, and not even a single inch of iron was allowed to fall into the hands of the people. Even Dingzhu couldn¡¯t convince himself, so what could he do to boost morale and use the ¡°literary and martial arts¡± of his ancestors and fathers to convince his opponents and inform the world. "Fire the gun, fire the gun to demonstrate, notify the city, fire the gun to demonstrate immediately." Listening to Dingzhu's voice getting quieter as he spoke, Prime Minister Zuo He Weiyi did not dare to delay any longer and snatched a black command flag from the hands of the general's bodyguards. , raised high above the head, shaking hard. "Boom, boom, boom." "Boom, boom, boom." "Boom, boom, boom." On the two city walls due east and south, hundreds of artillery pieces, large and small, let out an angry roar one after another. Black projectiles flew out, smashing into the ground. Smoke and dust billowed on the ground. The distance was too far, the four-pound cannon could not reach the Huai'an Army's toes, and the heavy artillery could not catch up. This indiscriminate bombing was purely to interrupt the shameful and inexplicable shouts in the wilderness. The effect was quite good. When the first shelling sounded, the shouts of the Huai'an army suddenly stopped, but soon, the shouts were replaced by loud bugles, which once again, like a dragon's roar, passed through all the Mongolian troops above and below the city. A soldier's ears. Accompanied by the loud bugle, the movement speed of the Huai'an soldiers also suddenly accelerated. Each team was organized into brigades, and during the march, they accelerated to gather near Xu Da's Chinese Army Commander's Flag, while Xu Da himself galloped on his horse. Heading due east, he ran towards the high-raised flag of the Sun, Moon, Rivers and Mountains. From a distance, he raised his hand and saluted Zhu Chongjiu, "Report, Lord, all of the Third Army, the Fourth Army, 401, 4 The 02nd, 403rd, 404th, and 405th brigades have been ordered to assemble. Please tell me." "Brothers, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Chongjiu raised his hand to his forehead and quickly gave a standard military salute. Riding his horse at high speed, he shouted an order, "This battle is still under your command. Just continue to fight as you should. I will come over to cheer for you and watch the enemy plunder the formation." "Yes." Xu Da was stunned. Stunned, he immediately pulled the reins of the war horse and galloped back under the commander's flag. Not long after, another burst of impassioned suona sounds came from the central military office, "Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Da Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta" "Da da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da, da da da da da da, da da da da da da" Suona sounds were heard from the commanders of each brigade in succession, and the rhythm of the team's march suddenly changed again. , except for the artillery, each brigade was divided into three, and each regiment bloomed like flowers in the green fields, turning into medium-sized hollow phalanxes. The hollow phalanxes approached each other one by one, shoulders against shoulders, and horns against horns. They slowly stopped three miles away from the Yuan army. The heavy artillery on the city wall could already hit this position, but the heavy artillery was unable to hit the hollow phalanx. The destructive power of the shell is almost negligible. Unless it happens to hit someone, otherwise, wherever the shell lands, it will raise clouds of dust and smoke in vain. It has never been the style of the Huai'an Army to just take a beating without fighting back. In the blink of an eye, the direct artillery regiments of the Fourth and Fifth Legions had launched long-distance suppression towards the city head. Their vehicle-mounted eight-pound cannons were internally the same as the six-pound cannons. Engraved with rifling, its accuracy and power are far superior. As long as the horse pulling the cart is removed, the end of the vehicle is pressed down, and it is connected with the special positioning gun anchor with bolts<spanclass='character'style='backgroun 8000 d-image:url(/img/1451896411599/32846786/-4043163558889628980.png)'>You can tilt the muzzle, adjust the shooting angle, and launch revenge? Flame. "Bang." A huge bomb flew out of the muzzle, passed through the blue sky, and smashed into Cangzhou City. "Boom." The entire Cangzhou City was shaken, and thick smoke billowed into the air. "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." Immediately afterwards, more eight kilograms of explosive bombs hit the Cangzhou city wall, the horse face, watchtowers, and crenellations. Bricks and stones flew across, and the remaining limbs were broken. Meat splattered like rain. The Meng Yuan heavy artillery placed in enemy towers, horse faces, etc. had to adjust its direction and start firing against the Huai'an Army's eight-pound cannon. However, both sides were inferior in terms of the accuracy of the artillery and the skill of the gunners. Not on the same level at all. A plagiarist is a plagiarist. Once he meets the original author, he will be quickly beaten back to his original form. A simple imitation of something can capture the surface, but not the essence. What's more, over the years, the Huaiyang Company, which has tasted the benefits, has continued to increase its investment in the Academy of Sciences, and the Huai'an Army's cannon-making technology has continued to improve. The craftsmen of Huai'an Academy of Sciences and Baigongfang have gradually changed from the illiterate older generation to newcomers who graduated from Baigong Technical School. "Boom, boom, boom." About half an hour later, with a loud noise, dozens of barrels of gunpowder were shot and exploded on the horse face on the southeast side of Cangzhou City, sending countless bloody corpses and two heavy cannons to the sky at the same time. Half empty. The city walls in front of and on both sides of the horse's face immediately began to tremble and tremble, like frozen snow, slowly collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Dark yellow smoke rolled up and down, swallowing up Yuan soldiers who could not escape one by one. , the 20,000 troops placed there as rear troops by the fixed pillars had to squeeze forward to dodge, and the entire formation was instantly crushed to pieces. "All forward, let's fight for life and death." Dingzhu didn't dare to expect the outcome of the artillery battle. He raised his scimitar high and looked ferocious. He still has the advantage in numbers, and the enemy's general Zhu Chongjiu has also rushed to the opposite military formation. If he is lucky enough to kill this man, the result will definitely turn the world upside down. ¡°Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu¡± Woo, woo woo, woo woo woo, " The desperate trumpet blowing sounded among the Yuan army. The four square formations of the left army, the right army, the center army, and the rear army pressed forward together, quickly swallowing up Huai'an. distance between armies, trying to show the final barbarity. They are going to kill that person. They must work hard to change the fate that is about to fall from their heads. They could clearly see the golden armor on Zhu Chongjiu¡¯s body and the black horse under his crotch. They could clearly see Zhu Chongjiu riding his horse and circling his own team, holding an iron trumpet in his hand to make the final mobilization before the battle. "Since the moment of the Xuzhou uprising, Zhu kept asking me why I was fighting." He slowly drove his horse, looking at the neat team, looking at the familiar or unfamiliar faces in the team. face. Xu Da, Wu Yongchun, Xu Hongsan, Lian Laohei "If it was just for revenge, the moment Xuzhou was captured, it was enough. My enemy was dead, but Zhu could not put down the knife." A pause. After a pause, he turned his gaze behind everyone. In mid-air, stood the three brothers Sesame Li, Sun Sanshiyi, and Zhang, as well as the heroic souls who fell on the battlefield one after another. They are all watching him, watching him step by step from Xuzhou to the present, from a butcher who kills pigs to a hero of ten thousand men. "Because as long as Zhu puts down his sword, Yuan soldiers will come over and kill Zhu, his companions around him, and hundreds of millions of innocent people from Xuzhou to Bianliang to Yangzhou." "They will definitely do this. , Zhu knows, because Zhu knows what they have done before, they take pleasure in killing and are proud of barbarism. They have never regarded us as the same kind, and only want to treat us and our descendants as the same people forever. "They once slaughtered animals from the grasslands beyond the Great Wall to the far west, destroying dozens of countries along the way. From north to south, they destroyed the Jurchens and Xixia, and thrust their butcher knives towards the Song Dynasty. Thousands of innocent people were cut down and slaughtered like weeds. "Wherever they go, they will burn down ancestral temples, destroy schools, and burn the classics left by their ancestors." "They will turn farmland into wilderness and cities. They turned the village into a pile of rubble and a mass grave. They killed them all the way and never stopped unless they were cut down by the rebels. " "So, Zhu will never stop until they are driven away. Will put down the knife." The horse circled, and he slowly walked from one side of the team to the other, "Not only that.??, Zhu also hopes that you will never put down the sword in your hands, and work with Zhu to drive them away and restore the old land of your ancestors. " "This battle is not for me, nor for yourselves, but for our ancestors, for the tens of millions of innocent people who were slaughtered as livestock, and for the hundreds of civilizations that were destroyed by scimitars and horse hooves. " "It is true that we ourselves are flawed, but this is not the reason why we deserve to be slaves. " "Indeed, we ourselves are not perfect enough, but this is also no excuse that we deserve to be destroyed. We are born as humans, and our shoulders are as tall and short as all them and all nations in the world. " He once again set his sights on the distance, towards the south of the Yangtze River. Hu Dahai was suddenly assassinated, Zhang Shicheng approached Zhenjiang, Chen Youding surrendered and rebelled, trying to separate Fujian, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and came eastward, with an unknown purpose. There are more battles waiting for him there. , he must end the current situation as soon as possible. "This battle is not for conquest, nor for revenge, but for defense, to defend your and my dignity as human beings, and to defend the rights of civilization from being conquered by barbarism. If we win, you and I will win." Not only did we protect ourselves, our wives and children behind us, but we also protected the whole of China. Our children and grandchildren will always remember what you and I did today, and will always raise our proud heads in front of barbarism, and will never do it again. Be enslaved by anyone and never fall into darkness again. " "You and I will continue to fight forward, and one day we will no longer be enslaved by our enemies, nor will we be enslaved by our own people, so that everyone in the world will always gain equality and freedom. " "Equality and freedom are the inherent rights of each of us, but the tigers and wolves never forget slavery and plunder. If we don't fight, we will inevitably lose it until we lose everything we have as human beings, so , today, I ask you, follow me, raise the weapons in your hands. "Throwing down the iron trumpet suddenly, he turned his horse sideways to face the swarming enemy troops. At the same time, he drew out the butcher knife from his waist and raised it high, "Good man, move forward. " "go ahead. "Xu Da waved the command flag vigorously<spanclass='c 9ecc haracter'style='background-image:url(/img/1451896411624/32846786/3795070118455532781.png)'> Tens of thousands of soldiers raised their heads, responded proudly, and strenuously stepped forward Move forward. Tens of thousands of good men are facing the enemy's artillery fire and guns, rolling forward like a torrent, sweeping away any obstacles along the way. The book ends with a Merry Christmas, and there is an epilogue, which is a Christmas gift to all readers.
