Chapter 505

"Well... Is the relationship between Zhongdan and his fourth brother really so good?" Zhu Qizhen, who couldn't make a decision immediately, asked tentatively.

"I've learned that Yang Yang, the fourth brother of Duke Zhongdan, is the only one who went back to his ancestral home with Duke Zhongdan this time. If he had a bad relationship, I'm afraid he wouldn't go with him. I also heard that Yang Yang was allowed to go with Duke Zhongdan, but I don't know why he was retained in the end. I think it must be for the sake of safety. That's right, It can also prove that the relationship between their brothers is really good. "

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Qizhen sat high on the floor and stared at Liu De fiercely.

If he thought it was a casual suggestion from Liu De just now, but now listening to the other party's in-depth investigation into this matter, he thought it was an accident and only fools would believe it. There is only one answer. Liu De has been thinking about it for a long time.

At the thought of the various conflicts between Liu De and Yang Chendong, Zhu Qizhen knew that Liu De wanted to use his own hand to prevent Yang Chendong from becoming bigger.

Ministers often play some fights and intrigues. As the emperor, he knows a lot of things. But sometimes he will stop or even expose it, but sometimes he will think that nothing has happened. What kind of decision the emperor makes depends on whether the purpose of the struggle between the ministers is conducive to the imperial power.

Liu De's careful thought of Zhuqi town saw through, but he didn't mean to break it. Yang Chendong's expansion is also what he doesn't want to see, that is, Liu De's attitude and goal are consistent with himself, so why not do it easily.

After figuring it out, Zhuqi town nodded, "What Liu Aiqing said is very true. That is to say, I will send the royal guards to Jianning mansion to invite the man named Yang Yang to Kyoto. When it is done, I will issue a decree to Duke Zhongdan. Jiaozhi is also one of the vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty and one of the countries that the Emperor Ming ordered not to levy. That is, they are willing to go to the title of Annan and return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty with a heart of mercy, The gift is to accept. "

Zhu Qizhen finally made up his mind. While Liu De breathed a sigh of relief, he did have a new worry, that is, once the news spread, he was afraid that the other party would hate him to the bone. Unless Yang Chendong would be suppressed by Daming in the future, otherwise, once the situation arose, it might be his bad luck.

As for whether the news would come out, it was just after Liu Degang left the palace that Cao Jixiang, the eunuch in charge, sent the message in Zhuqi town. As a result, as soon as Liu Degang returned to Fudi, the people below told him the news just came out of the palace, which made him almost spew out without a mouthful of old blood.

His face was very ugly. He looked at the direction of the palace. Liu De couldn't help scolding, "emperor, emperor, even if you cross the river and tear down the bridge, it's not as fast as you. It seems that there will be him in the future, no Yang Chendong, no Yang Chendong."

......

In Nanjing, the matter of how to deal with Jiaozhi is still slowly being discussed, and the relevant matters are also slowly going on. In front of Hanoi, the capital of Jiaozhi, there are already arrows in the fire, and the war is imminent.

Banners fluttered, war drums thundered, dark troops were placed under the city, and the spirit of extermination swept between heaven and earth, so that people with courage could not help feeling a double shiver.

At the moment of dawn, in front of the east gate of Hanoi, the two armies spread out an array on this vast land.

With grey armour in cloth clothes, 20000 Jiaozhi troops lined up in more than a dozen square formations are in full readiness.

The square formation and high flying flags stand horizontally in the square array, which is more spectacular and majestic.

On the other side, 2800 mercenaries dressed in camouflage uniforms were in a long snake array, side by side in double rows. Advanced fire guns and steel knives were displayed one after another, showing a sense of Xiaosha.

The difference is that the mercenaries did not put on any flags, which is what Yang Chendong meant. Before he determined his status, he did not intend to let his mercenaries put on red flags.

It is precisely because there is no flag flying that nearly 3000 mercenaries seem to be dormant there like a green snake from a distance, moving and static, so that people dare not have any heart to underestimate.

Just in terms of the number of people, the momentum of the Jiaozhi army is even more majestic, not to mention that 20 large stone catapults have long been erected in the rear of the military array. This car can throw nearly 100 kilograms of boulders in mid air, and the farthest range can reach more than 500 meters, which can be called the farthest cold weapon at that time.

Behind him, there is a catapult that can attack from a long distance. At the front of the team, there is an iron shield array of 1000 people, which can block the fire of the other party. With enough preparation, Ruan gengwang, the general in charge of the troops, looks confident.

The battle horn had sounded. Ruan gengwang did not immediately give the order to attack. Instead, he looked back at the tower in Hanoi. When he saw Prince Li Yuanlong and others standing on it and looking down, he felt the blood flowing all over his body. Excited, he pulled out the saber on his waist, pointed forward and shouted, "move forward!"

"Enter!"

The front iron shield thousand person square rapidly changed the formation, changed from the original square character grid to form a horizontal line, and soon formed a giant dragon, walking at the front of the team.

An ordinary shield is made of wood and wrapped with iron. In the age of cold weapons, it can defend against bows and arrows, but it can't defend against bullets. The pure iron shield can defend against the long-range shooting of bullets, but its disadvantages will be very serious. Even if you lift it for a short time, it will consume great power, and it is bound to be very inflexible and difficult to follow the March.

But knowing these shortcomings and advantages, Ruan gengwang had to rely on it. He didn't point to using these iron shields to attack. He just needed them to protect his soldiers from moving forward. When he could start to attack, he didn't believe it. 20000 troops were pressed up at once. How many people could the other party's guns kill?

Under Ruan gengwang's command, a thousand iron shields were in front and slowly moving forward. All the other nearly 20000 Jiaozhi troops hid behind them, and several square arrays were integrated and slowly moving forward.

"In! In! In!"

Every time the army goes further, the earth shaking Qi shouts come out, which is quite powerful and gives people a sense of shock.

"Damn it, it seems that this is an elite soldier." Tiance, a company commander who has led the first attack task, watched the enemy three miles away begin to move forward slowly to his side, and couldn't help humming.

Those who can become the cold front are proud. To be one of the company commanders is even more pride in pride, and no one can put it in his eyes. Now the Jiaozhi army on the opposite side is coming from the front as if it had entered a no man's land. In the eyes of Tiance, this was originally a provocation.

If it had not been for the distance, which was more than a kilometer away, I'm afraid the 95 style in his hand would have taught each other how to be a man.

Jiaozhi army is not moving forward. The slogan of "Jin" has been constantly publicized in the mouth, and gradually reached a peak, just like a volcano that can erupt at any time. It will roll in after reaching a certain temperature.

In contrast, the cold front of the seven battalions stood still, like a boulder fixed on the earth, without being affected by the outside wind and rain.

"Ha ha, see, the other party is afraid." seeing that his camp has moved forward for 500 meters, the mercenary still hasn't done anything. Ruan gengwang on the horse laughed. In his opinion, the other party can't move because he has no skills to do.

On the tower of Hanoi city behind him, Prince Li Yuanlong stared at everything in front of him. Although the team had gone farther and farther and could not see clearly, the scene of no movement of mercenaries could still be seen clearly.

Seeing that his side was moving forward, but the other side was not moving at all, he couldn't help asking the general aside: "generals, what do you think the mercenaries are doing?"

Standing next to Li Yuanlong, the nearest is fan Yuhai, who is known as a famous Jiaozhi general. Compared with the smiling expression on the face of other generals, his expression was slightly dignified. When he heard the prince ask, he naturally said, "the other party is clearly braking with silence. To tell the truth, this stability is beyond our army."

Fan Yuhai's voice just fell. Another general, Li Shaozhong, couldn't help but say, "general fan, why should he raise the morale of others and destroy his prestige. It's clear that mercenaries were frightened by the forward formation of our army and didn't dare to act rashly."

Li Shaozhong is a member of the Li family. Now the Jiaozhi state is full of power, and his status as a general is rising.

Li Shaozhong's words were heard in fan Yuhai's ears. He did not distinguish anything. The generals on the battlefield are not like those literary ministers. They pay more attention to the results. And before the results appear, it is unknown who is right and who is wrong.

Prince Li Yuanlong was also not talking, but stared at everything in front of him with great interest. He wanted to see how to deal with the mercenaries with amazing combat power in the face of the Jiaozhi soldiers with several times more troops than them.

In front of the battlefield, the distance between the two sides is still shortening rapidly. From the earliest three miles to less than 700 meters today, even so, the sound of the word "Jin" is still high in the air, and the momentum of the Jiaozhi army is becoming more and more prosperous.

"All the grenades are ready, fart iron shield. In a moment, the company commander will let them know what it is to move a stone and hit their own feet." facing the approaching enemy, Tiance didn't show a trace of fear. On the contrary, he issued an indisputable military order to the soldiers below. Then he took down the 95 pose hanging from his body, and began to aim in a standing position, ready to shoot.
