    Things went smoothly. Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Bixian really wanted to seize power. They secretly asked their families to pack their bags and prepare to leave Kuiyang secretly. Then Zhang Dingbian suddenly launched an attack, controlled Kuiyang and seized the power of the Han Dynasty.  But he didn't expect Hong Tianxiao to arrive at this time, completely smashing Zhang Dingbian's conspiracy and controlling his parents and family.

    At the same time, after receiving the flying pigeon message from Hong Tianxiao, Xu Da immediately led his army across the river. At the same time, Zhang Dingbian and Zhang Bixian had to agree to serve the Ming Dynasty. From then on, all the territory of the Han Dynasty was owned by the Ming Dynasty.

    The King of Ruyang originally wanted to wait for a long time before Zhang Dingbian and others could not hide the news of Chen Youliang's murder and would cause chaos without a fight, but he did not expect that Hong Tianxiao would take advantage of the loophole. He couldn't help but become very angry and ignored Zhao Min's persuasion.  Continue to send troops to attack.  It¡¯s just that today is different from the past. Zhang Ding raised a large army to join the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Xu Da and Liu Bowen led an army of 150,000 to reinforce the Ming army. The strength of the Ming army was actually 50,000 higher than that of King Ruyang. King Ruyang chose to  A fierce attack is really the last resort.

    Under Liu Bowen's plan, Zhang Dingbian pretended to be in a stalemate with the Mongolian army, while Xu Da led an army of 30,000 people to sneak around behind the Mongolian army, preparing to attack from both front and rear.

    As a result, King Ruyang was unprepared and was attacked twice by the Ming army. Almost half of the 300,000-strong army was lost. King Ruyang retreated with only 50,000 remaining soldiers.

    As a result, all the areas west of Henan and Hebei fell completely into the hands of the Ming army. In addition to the land occupied by Zhang Shicheng, the territory of the Yuan court has been limited to Dadu, Hebei, Tianjin, Liaoning and other places, and the situation is precarious.

    Emperor Yuan Shun was naturally very angry about King Ruyang's defeat, but he did not behead him. After all, he had no generals available now. Grand Master Tuotuo was leading an army to fight against Zhang Shicheng, and they could not be separated.  If King Ruyang is killed at this time, who will lead the army to resist the aggressive force of the Ming army.

    Emperor Yuan Shun gritted his teeth and handed over all the troops in Dadu to King Ruyang, asking him to stop Hong Tianxiao's eastward advance no matter what.  King Ruyang also understood that the situation had reached a point where no retreat was possible, and he issued a military order in front of Emperor Yuan Shun. If he was defeated again, he would send someone to deliver his head.

    However, the morale of the Yuan army was far inferior to that of the Ming army. Although King Ruyang tried his best to resist, the battle line continued to retreat until it reached Langfang, Hebei Province. There was no place to retreat, and the capital city was behind him.  Once Langfang is captured, the Ming army can march straight in to attack Dadu. If Dadu is captured again, the Yuan court will be finished.

    However, at this time, the entire battle situation changed. Although King Ruyang was retreating steadily, Grand Master Tuotuo was the main force in defeating Zhang Shicheng, and even shot Zhang Shicheng.  Originally, Tuotuo should have taken the opportunity to march in and uproot Zhang Shicheng's power at once, but the situation with King Ruyang was too critical. Tuotuo had to withdraw his army to Dadu, supporting King Ruyang and defending Dadu.  Defense.  Emperor Yuan Shun has handed over two-thirds of Dadu's army to King Ruyang. Dadu's defense is extremely weak. Once King Ruyang is defeated, Dadu will not be able to defend it for a day.

    Under Langfang City, an offensive and defensive battle began that could almost determine the situation of the entire country.

    "Beat the drummer!" Xu Da yelled, and a giant war drum placed on a pulley with wooden wheels was slowly pushed out. A sturdy man held a drum hammer and began to beat the drum head rhythmically.  As soon as the "dong dong" marching order was issued, countless war drums seemed to be beaten at the same time around Langfang City, one after another, creating a symphony of drum sounds.

    With the sound of drums, the Langfang offensive and defensive battle began. At this time, there were killings and shouts. Thousands of bright soldiers in bright armor and holding giant shields were marching in neat steps around Langfang City.  , it can be seen from these Ming soldiers that the morale of the Ming army is very high.

    These soldiers rushed to a place still fifty steps away from the city, stopped moving forward, and quickly squatted down, each holding a large shield high, forming a huge shield array.  Arrows kept flying over the city, but they all landed on the shields, making a crisp metallic collision sound.

    Then, another group of thousands of archers rushed up quickly, hiding behind the shield bearers, setting up their bows and shooting arrows one by one. Suddenly, a large rain of arrows flew towards the wall.  The bows and arrows held by this kind of archers are different from ordinary bows and arrows. The bows and arrows are almost half larger than ordinary bows and arrows. Therefore, the shooting range is much longer. Within the same range of fifty steps, the number of people shot on the city can be  Bows and arrows are much more powerful.

    However, this kind of bow and arrow has a shortcoming. It requires relatively high arm strength of the archer. It is very difficult for ordinary soldiers to pull such a strong bow. Although these archers have undergone special training by Chang Yuchun, they can shoot continuously  After twenty arrows, they were all unable to lift the bow anymore. Even so, it cost the Yuan soldiers of the four sects nearly a million.The offensive of the Ming army's powerful bows was almost helpless, and the number of Yuan soldiers who died under these powerful bows continued to increase.

    Just when King Ruyang thought that it would be difficult for Langfang to hold on for another hour, suddenly there was a ringing sound from the Ming army. Suddenly, the Ming army on all sides retreated like a tide again.  Watching the Ming army retreat, King Ruyang couldn't help but sit down on the ground, threw away the steel knife in his hand, gasped for air, wiped the blood and sweat from his forehead, and secretly screamed luck.

    Not only was King Ruyang almost exhausted, the two elders Xuan Ming were also almost exhausted. A pair of judge pens and a deer staff were full of blood.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
