When Zhu Hongsan heard that Li Chengdong, a slave from four surnames, agreed to be the first to die, he nodded and said to Zhu Bao beside him: "Zhu Bao, you will take your newly formed 11th Division to temporarily return to the command of the Prince of Jianning County. Prince Jin, please stay by my side!"

It’s not that Zhu Hongsan distrusts his brother-in-law, Jin Daoming, but that he is afraid that Jin Daoming will die on the front line accidentally and that he cannot explain to his sister-in-law and lover Ma Ruyun.

Zhu Bao was originally just a battalion commander in the Imperial Guard Division, but because of the emperor's trust, he was directly promoted to the commander of the 11th Division. Although his subordinates didn't say anything, Zhu Bao also heard rumors in the army that he could be promoted more and more by relying on his father Zhu Hongyi's skills. Therefore, Zhu Bao went on an expedition this time to prove himself with his military achievements. He was not the second-generation official lying among his father and brother Yu Yin, but also a qualified soldier.

Now that he heard the emperor personally call for the first battle, he quickly stood up and promised to complete the emperor's orders.

Li Chengdong knew that Zhu Bao was Zhu Hongyi's son or the emperor's nephew. Seeing Zhu Bao showing joy, Li Chengdong cursed in his heart: Your mother, why are this kid so happy? It seems that after a fight, I have to ensure the safety of this kid. What really happens to Zhu Hongyi can spare him?

Zhu Hongsan tilled the central army's tent on a hill five miles away from the battlefield, surrounded by Jinyiwei wearing bright yellow flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords. Zhu Hongsan sat in the imperial chariot and watched Li Chengdong leave the brigade with 50,000 troops and headed for Shahe.

Han Sanqiang beside Zhu Hongsan was Zhu Hongyi's old subordinate. He was very worried about Zhu Bao's safety. Seeing that Zhu Hongsan sent out the 11th Division, which had no experience in war, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Han Sanqiang bowed and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the 11th Division has just been formed, is it inappropriate to send them to the first battle?"

Zhu Hong looked at the other side with a telescope in his three-handed hands. He did not look back, but asked with a smile: "Three Qiang, why are you worried about the old commander's son?"

Zhu Hongsan's words are very serious. Now Zhu Hongyi has been deprived of the command of Zhu Hongsan's Imperial Guard Division through promotion and submission through promotion and submission. Han Sanqiang, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, still cares about the old commander. What do you want to do?

Han Sanqiang was so scared that he was sweating profusely when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this. He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Sanqiang only cares about his nephews and has no other thoughts!"

Zhu Hongsan turned his head and looked at Han Sanqiang, and said with a smile: "Sanqiang, do you know why you can only be my guard head? And you can't stand alone like Qian Yong and others? It's because they don't talk like you!"

Han Sanqiang was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly when he heard the emperor say this.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Han Sanqiang's frightened, he stepped forward and helped Han Sanqiang up and said, "Sanzi, do you know why I handed over the Imperial Guard Division to you, not Qian Yong and others? It is precisely because of your nostalgic mood. Third son, remember, you have to learn from Qian Yong and others, don't involve it. This is good to you. I can save you once, but if you seek death, then no one can save you! Do you know?"

Han Sanqiang knew that the emperor said this and should not get too close to the prince. You, the leader of the Emperor's Imperial Guard, are you flirting with the prince. What do you want to do? Do you want to come to another Xuanwu Gate? This is because Zhu Hongsan knew through the Jinyiwei that Han Sanqiang did not have any collusion with the prince, so he woke him up with words. If there is really collusion, what is waiting for Han Sanqiang is not a few words of knocking, but the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei.

Han Sanqiang was frightened by Zhu Hongsan and sweated heavily, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He quickly bowed and said, "Please rest assured that the third son will always be loyal to His Majesty and will never talk nonsense again!"

After beating Han Sanqiang, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Okay, I know your loyalty, let's watch the show together! This mountain sound that Li Chengdong used to blow, I don't know what he really is?"

This time, Zhu Hongsan sent Li Chengdong and Zhu Bao to fight the first battle. In addition to training the newly formed 11th Division, he also had an ulterior motive, that is, to prepare to deal with Li Chengdong and Zhu Bao.

After Li Chengdong was stripped of military power, he lived in seclusion and hid in his house honestly, not giving Zhu Hongsan a chance to seize the opportunity, so Zhu Hongsan wanted to kill this enemy who killed his wife, but he had no chance.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhu Hongsan left Nanjing, he moved Li Chengdong and gave the first battle to Li Chengdong to fight. If he defeated Li Chengdong, as a prince, he would not be promoted. At the same time, the old fox Li Chengdong would definitely be able to shirk away the credit and would not need any rewards at that time. If he loses, don't blame Zhu Hongsan for not being merciful. Whether to kill or punish depends on Zhu Hongsan's mood.

As for Zhu Bao, he was completely young, ignorant, and made friends with the prince with great fanfare. In Zhu Hongsan's eyes, this behavior is a rebellious thing. If I am still alive, you want to burn a cold stove? So this time, Zhu Bao was sent to him to suffer a little. Of course, it is good to win. You can train the army. If you lose, don't blame Zhu Hongsan for being ruthless. As for death in battle, it would be even better. Anyway, Zhu Bao is Zhu Hongyi's son, and Zhu Hongsan doesn't feel sorry for his death at all.

Li Dingguo and Lu Daqi on the side of Shahe saw Chu Ni's army stop and beat the emperor's yellow dragon flag on a small hill, and knew that it was Chu Ni Zhu Hongsan.

As an intellectual, Lu Daqi still knew how to order military books. When he saw Li Dingguo deploying defenses along the Sha River, he asked, "Mr. Marquis, are you trying to attack halfway?"

Li Dingguo didn't know what idiom he didn't know. He reacted for a long time before he knew what it meant. He quickly explained: "The National Taiwan Master is indeed familiar with military books. The last general was about to wait until Chu Ni's army crossed the river and caught him off guard!"

Lu Daqi didn't expect Li Dingguo to do this and asked, "Has the Marquis read a military book?"

Li Dingguo rolled his eyes and said, "Back to Master Jiantai, I will never study, I will all learn on the battlefield!"

Lu Daqi despised him in his heart, but he complimented: "The great way is three thousand, and the Marquis learned the military strategy from actual combat. I really admire him!"

Li Dingguo laughed twice and didn't say anything, but cursed in his heart: This old coffin seedling is really a bit nonsense.

Li Dingguo was afraid that Lu Daqi would throw away his words. At this moment, Zhu Hongsan's army on the opposite side sounded the war drum, and a large number of troops were separated and prepared to cross the river. Li Dingguo quickly bowed and said, "Master Jiantai, the battle is about to begin, and he will go to the front line to command!" After Li Dingguo said that, he quickly fled to Lu Daqi's side.

Li Chengdong brought Zhu Bao and 50,000 soldiers to the Shahe River. He used to command cavalry, but he had never taken infantry.

Li Chengdong asked Zhu Bao beside him: "Boy, how do you think this battle will be fought?"

"Prince, this is simple. Although we have few people, our combat effectiveness is stronger than the Ming army. Just cross the river and start fighting! Finally, I will ask the first batch of crossing the river!"

Li Chengdong thought about it and should not let this kid take risks. He shook his hand and said, "No, you are my deputy general, you must follow me!"

These generals Li Chengdong didn't recognize them, so he had to point at an intermediate general beside him and asked, "Who, come here! What official position are you?"

The big man was stunned and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The deputy commander of the 11th Division was tall and strong, and he has seen the prince!"

"Okay! It's you, you bring three thousand musketeers and five thousand swords and shield soldiers. As the first crossing force, you must occupy the other side of the river and wait for the king to lead the large army over!"

Gao Daqiang was overjoyed. It seemed that the best thing he had to do with the river was his own. He quickly bowed and said, "Abide by the orders of the general!" After that, he went down to prepare to cross the river.

Li Dingguo originally had the idea that Zhu Hongsan's army would definitely swim across the river. Although the sand river was not large, it was seventy or eighty meters wide. No matter who crossed the river, he would lose his energy. But he didn't know that the Ming army back team on the other side of the river had raised ten huge bamboo platoons, which were getting taller and taller. When it was more than twenty meters, it was put into the river. The bamboo platoon was tied with air-encompassing cowhide, which was filled with air. It was a good raft. At the same time, the Ming army back team was constantly increasing the length of the wooden platoon. Soon the front of the bamboo platoon had reached the river bank, and a simple floating bridge was completed.

Li Dingguo was shocked when he saw this. He did not expect that the Ming army's equipment was so sharp. Ten floating bridges were built on the Shahe River so quickly. Although these floating bridges could not be carried by cannon vehicles, there was no problem with infantry passage.

When Li Dingguo saw that the vanguard of the Ming army opposite had already boarded the floating bridge, he quickly ordered his subordinates to lead the troops to press forward and to destroy the floating bridge.

By the time Li Dingguo's soldiers arrived by the river, hundreds of people had already rushed to the river bank and formed a strange formation on the river bank.

Zhu Hongsan's cold weapons troops were trained completely according to the ancient Roman battle formation. Zhu Hongsan had many Spanish men and were very familiar with this ancient Roman battle formation. At the same time, the weapons of these swords and shield soldiers also changed. They were no longer holding horizontal swords, but became one-foot-and-a-half-long short swords of the ancient Roman army.

The horizontal sword was very powerful when the cavalry charged, but in the street fighting, the horizontal sword was too long and could not be used. During the battle of Yangzhou, many soldiers left their horizontal swords and turned to the Qing army's Pub Sword. After the Logistics Department asked Zhu Hongsan for advice, they turned the weapon of the sword and shield soldiers into thick short swords, and the shield was also replaced from round shields to large square wooden shields like ancient Rome.

Under the command of grassroots officers, each hundred people formed a battle formation and firmly guarded the floating bridge behind him.

At this time, Li Dingguo's army had already arrived at the riverside, and the two armies began to formally fight.

The narrow terrain by the river is the terrain of heavy infantry in ancient Rome. To deal with this battle formation like a turtle, only cavalry can be attacked. However, Li Chengdong's cavalry was lost to the city of Xiguan, Guangzhou a month ago, and there are no more established cavalry now.

Although Li Chengdong had a large number of people, he could not perform at the riverside. Although Zhu Hongsan had a small number of sword and shield soldiers, he was well-trained and had coordinated movements. Under the orders of grassroots officers, he was reaping the lives of the enemy layer by layer.
