Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!
Chapter 400: Battle at the mouth of Gorge 3, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong discuss at night!
Chapter 400: Battle at the mouth of the Three Gorges, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong discuss at night!
Four days later.
The army is sixty miles away from the mouth of the Three Gorges.
The princes rode beside Xu Da.
Xu Da told everyone about the topography of the Three Gorges mouth, "The Three Gorges mouth is located at the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain and in the middle of the southern Mongolian Plateau. It just forms a mouth about ten meters long and five or six meters wide. To the west, towards the Yinshan Mountain, the terrain is steep. With shrubs and woods as obstacles, the defenders only need to send a small number of troops to control the Yinshan side of the Three Gorges entrance..."
……
"Although the terrain at the southern foot of the Mongolian Plateau in the east is not as steep as the Yinshan Mountains, the hills are rolling. Although the infantry and cavalry can barely advance in this terrain, the baggage and artillery accompanying the army cannot accompany the army."
……
"In addition, this kind of undulating terrain is very suitable for Beiyuan's elite cavalry to block. The opponent will definitely occupy the undulating commanding heights first. We send troops from bottom to top and pay a heavy price to defeat Beiyuan's blockade and overturn it. Entering the mountain col, what is waiting for us is the Beiyuan Jingqi, occupying another commanding height, and rushing down from the high ground to strike. This kind of terrain is very troublesome, and if you bite hard, you will often have to pay a huge price!"
……
Zhu Ju, Zhu Zi and others listened carefully.
Zhu Gui asked: "Taishan, if we are at the foot of the mountain, is it okay to blast it with artillery?"
His vassal guards stayed behind to build a camp and guard the food and grass that could not be taken away.
He followed.
How can you miss such a learning opportunity?
"No." Tan Yuan shook his head.
Zhu Ru and others all looked at Tan Yuan.
Xu Da smiled and nodded, asking Tan Yuan to explain to everyone.
Tan Yuan gestured and said: "Our artillery fires directly. As long as the Beiyuan cavalry hides on the northern slope of the mountain, they can avoid the artillery and send a small number of observation posts. Once our cavalry launches a charge, they can quickly occupy the commanding heights. The prince will This tactic is named reverse bevel tactic. The prince said that the best way to deal with this reverse bevel tactic is to invent a cannon that can shoot in a straight direction..."
"like this……"
Tan Yuan raised his hand first and then lowered it, "Only if the ballistic trajectory of artillery shells is in this form, can the shells hit the reverse slope. If there is such artillery, it would be good if the enemy uses this tactic. When the artillery battalion fired the artillery to hit the reverse slope, the cavalry followed the artillery shells and rushed forward. When they rushed to the commanding heights of the mountain, the artillery battalion stopped arranging artillery, and the cavalry or infantry rushed forward..."
Anti-slope tactics?
Xu Dapin smacked his lips.
This name is so vivid and vivid that even a low-level general who cannot read a single Chinese character can understand it just by making some gestures.
"Tan Yuan, Shiro has compiled a new tactical manual?" After Tan Yuan finished speaking, Xu Da couldn't wait to ask.
Tan Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Wei Guogong, this is what the prince told us when he was taking us back to the court and had nothing to do on the warship."
"On weekdays, during training at the Jilongyu Camp, during his free time, the prince would also call together the generals above the platoon in the army and talk to everyone about some tactics, mainly focusing on some of the tactics of the new army, and How to cooperate with cavalry, how to cooperate with naval warships, launch landings, etc..."
"For example, the prince proposed that the use of firecrackers and artillery in the future defense of the city must not only defend the city wall. It should be combined with the surrounding terrain and landforms to defend outside the city, forcing the siege party's artillery to be unable to threaten the city wall, just like In this attack on Zhangbeicheng, once the parapets are blasted open by artillery, it will be very advantageous for the attackers to enter the city..."
Xu Da and the princes listened carefully.
After hearing what Tan Yuan said, everyone understood.
The war thinking of the Army's First Town has definitely left the Ming army far behind.
Qiu Fu asked curiously: "Tan Yuan, have you practiced the kind you just mentioned, where cavalry or infantry rush forward accompanied by artillery shells?"
Zhu Laosan is shameless.
Leaving him behind to lead the troops, he shamelessly followed the fourth child to attack.
Xu Da glanced at Qiu Fu.
Qiu Fu was very talented in military affairs.
At a glance, we can see the value of this tactic in winning battles between the two armies.
Xu Da also looked at Tan Yuan.
With everyone watching, Tan Yuan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. He tried his best to suppress it, shook his head and said with a smile: "The prince calls this tactic the coordination of cavalry and artillery, and infantry and artillery. He also proposed it on the way back. He hasn't trained it yet." , The prince said that this tactic is most suitable in large-scale field battles."
"And there must be enough artillery."
"It's best to set up a specialized artillery army, with at least two to three hundred guns."
"The artillery is also arranged in three sections..."
……
"I'm thinking that after we finish the Northern Expedition and return to Jilong Island, we will train this tactic and use it when we attack Luzon in the future..."
After everyone heard this, the corners of their lips twitched fiercely.
Deception is too much!
Can Luzon, a small country, muster [-] troops?
Even if we can gather [-] soldiers and horses.
The first town of the Dongfan Army and the first mixed association, with more than 2 people based on current tactics, may be able to crush Luzon's [-] troops.
Tan Yuan and his group actually want to use infantry and artillery to coordinate with others?
but……
Do not know why……
Everyone is eager to give it a try.
I really like this kind of bullying style.
I wish I could go and be there, even if I don’t participate in person, just watch it!
'Damn you old man! '
Qiu Fu cursed in anger when he heard this.
He couldn't wait to immediately give up his official position in the court and follow Gui Laosi.
But this cannot be done.
Doing so will damage the relationship between the court and Lao Si.
Likewise, he is irresponsible to the Daliao River Guards and the group of old brothers who follow him.
Xu Da took a deep look at Tan Yuan, whose eyes were full of confidence.
If Shiro is allowed to organize and train a new army like the First Army Town of Wuliu Town.
Then cooperate with a few mixed associations.
I'm afraid that the fourth child really has some thoughts about the Ming Dynasty, and relying on their new war concepts, they can push the imperial court to its limits.
No wonder, this time, Shiro came back with the Army's First Town.
The prince's implicit attitude towards Shiro has changed so obviously.
Just imagine.
The new army in six towns cooperated with several mixed associations.
Gather one hundred thousand elites.
Hundreds of artillery pieces.
The infantry and artillery cooperated to form a battle with the imperial court and win the battle in the field.
Can the imperial court win the battle with its current troops?
"Tan Yuan, I heard that Luzon's territory is not small, and my father agreed that all the prisoners in this battle will be given to Fourth Brother. Once Luzon is captured, Fourth Brother will definitely establish a country, right?"
"Have you heard from Fourth Brother, what country name should I use?"
……
When the princes heard that Tan Yuan mentioned attacking Luzon, they couldn't wait to inquire.
While in Zhangbei camp.
The contributions of the Fourth Brother and the Army No. [-] Town brothers were deliberately suppressed by the people in the Big Brother system.
When they went to comfort the fourth brother.
Just outside Fourth Brother's handsome tent, I vaguely heard about the founding of the country.
I just never had the nerve to ask.
For a time, everyone was asking about Zhu Di's founding of Luzon.
……
Three Gorges.
"Report! Report! Report!"
Mahamu was taking Nahachu and others along the ridge of Yinshan Mountain to explain his troop formation.
The scouts sent out returned, using their hands and feet, to follow the hillside to the ridge.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty has arrived sixty miles away!"
"It came so fast!" Taiping joked with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Naha laughed very conservatively, waved his hand, dismissed the scouts, and said: "Mahamu, continue to express your thoughts."
Mahamu nodded and continued: "On the side of Yinshan Mountain at the entrance of the Three Gorges, we can put an elite infantry army, as long as 1 people..."
Naha came out and saw Mahamu looking at him.
Knowing Mahamu, I want him to provide this elite infantry.
In the Battle of Zhangbei, 3 people defended the city.
After the defeat, more than 2 people escaped.
About seven or eight thousand were lost.
The loss is not that big.
He originally planned to fill in all 3 people.
I thought it would turn into an anxious fuel battle.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Silang's army's first town was broken so quickly.
"I will provide this elite infantry with five thousand musketeers, three thousand archers, and two thousand sword and shield soldiers. However, the artillery cannot be transported, and I still want to keep the remaining twenty artillery pieces. Shouhe Lin.”
Zhang Bei fought.
More than thirty artillery pieces were all lost to Ming Dynasty.
Now, among his 10,000+ troops, there are only a few dozen artillery pieces left.
There are not as many as the Army's First Artillery Battalion.
After retreating to the grassland, iron became a scarce commodity.
Moreover, their cannon-casting methods are also very backward.
The methods still used were left over from when the imperial court ruled the Central Plains.
Just enlarge the cannon as much as possible.
In addition, after retreating from Liaodong, not many craftsmen were collected from the grasslands.
Even with this heavy artillery, the casting speed is very slow.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mahamu smiled and clasped his fists in thanks, and continued to introduce: "There is no need for artillery. I have already thought of a way to make the fourth prince of Ming's artillery unable to exert its power..."
Naha raised an eyebrow.
Others also looked at Mahamu.
Mahamu pointed to the shady side and said with a confident smile: "The artillery fire is direct. As long as our soldiers climb on the shady slope, they will be fine. When the Ming army infantry launched an attack and reached the mountainside, we quickly rushed from the top of the mountain. Go down, give a thunderous blow from the terrain, and at the same time, the two sides quickly strangled each other, and the artillery of the Army's First Town was useless, unless the Fourth Prince Ming didn't even care about the lives of his own soldiers!"
Naha Chu and the others' eyes couldn't help but light up.
Naha took a deep look at Mahamu, raised his hand and patted Mahamu on the shoulder, and then looked at everyone, "You are all the young wolves of our grassland, the new generation. You are ambitious and full of courage. Baring your teeth, you look around like an eagle and a wolf, hungry to devour anything that can strengthen you..."
Mahamu and others were slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Naha Chu actually broke through this thin layer of paper in public.
……
"In the entire grassland, the only armored elites that can be gathered now are 60 that have been gathered together during this battle. You should be very clear that these elites were brought to the grassland from the Central Plains during the retreat... "
If we lose these 60 elites.
The grassland will never again be able to gather such strong elite troops.
"If this battle fails, even if you can still retain your tribe and survive by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, you can no longer think about it. Each of you has [-] or [-] armored elites. You can support [-] to [-] elites based on your tribal output. , it’s already the limit!”
"All, I hope that in this battle, you will put aside all your ambitions and calculations and defeat the Ming army! Once the 50 elite Ming army collapses deep in our grassland, they will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered. The Ming army's artillery and fire Guns, army craftsmen, armor, this wealth is enough for you to grow..."
……
He is very clear.
This time, after defeating 50 elite Ming troops.
The grassland will never usher in glory.
It must be the time when these young wolf cubs are attacking each other and the royal court has completely lost its majesty.
But he still hopes.
In this battle, everyone unites as one and goes all out to defeat Ming Dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty lost 50 elites.
Within ten years, they would not be able to march north again.
With more than ten years of civil strife in the grassland, it should be possible to choose a new hero to replace the Golden Family.
After a group of young people from Mahamu looked at each other, they touched their chests and said solemnly: "Don't worry, King Liaoyang, we will definitely not have any selfish intentions in this battle!"
"it is good!"
Haha ...
Nahachu immediately raised his head and laughed heartily.
It's not in vain that he, an old wolf in his old age, sets an example and pays his dues.
Where is the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?
He led the Army's First Town, a group of new recruits with no actual combat experience, to engage in an offensive and defensive battle like Zhang Bei's in the first battle.
He is also setting an example.
Did his example work?
he does not know.
But he knew the elites of the Central Plains.
Back then, he had met military commanders and scholars from the Central Plains.
The elites of the Central Plains are full of selfish desires.
They can for their own benefit.
Do anything that goes against your moral beliefs.
'The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, I guess, your example has not worked! '
The smile on Naha's lips grew wider.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty came fiercely.
But the time, place and people are favorable.
They all have certain advantages.
Zhu Silang is willing to pay alone, what's the use?
On the contrary, Zhu Silang's "silly energy" will drag him to death!
……
West of the mouth of the Three Gorges, south of the Yinshan Mountains, two hundred miles away.
A large army, with half of the soldiers riding in carriages, running wildly in front, and half of the soldiers following the generals at all levels, running silently on the slightly muddy yellow grass after the snow melted.
"Come on!"
"Brothers who can't hold on, don't be afraid of embarrassment, take the initiative to report, and go to the front to take a carriage to rest!"
……
Zhu Di and generals at all levels stood on the side of the queue, running forward and back to cheer and encourage the brothers.
Each of the generals looked paler than the soldiers.
Running forward and backward like this along the way, the distance they ran was several times that of ordinary soldiers.
In Army First Town.
In terms of various skills, they are not even as good as ordinary soldiers.
It is impossible to become a general.
Team officers only need to manage their own queue, run before and after the queue under their jurisdiction, check the status of each brother, and make the most appropriate judgment.
The pipe leaders have to run in front and behind the four teams under their jurisdiction.
The physical exertion is several times that of a team officer.
And so on.
The more senior an officer is, the more miles he has to run and the greater his physical exertion.
The higher your own quality requirements!
blah blah blah...
Shouting.
The sound of rapid horse hooves came.
Zhu Di stopped and followed the sound.
The scouts came galloping forward.
Thirty steps away, he loosened the reins of his horse, jumped off his horse, and trotted to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, there is a passage leading to the back of Yinshan Mountain thirty miles ahead. However, there is a small tribe stationed there. Near this passage.”
Zhu Di turned around and ordered Zhang Wu, "Order the soldiers to rest on the spot. Let's work together in the evening to control the small tribes in front first, and then go north!"
……
After Zhang Wu received the order, he took the reins of the horse from the soldiers, got on his horse and went to deliver the order.
Soon, the rapidly advancing array stopped.
The soldiers rested on the spot.
After hastily eating some cold pancakes, they huddled together in groups, wrapped in military quilts, and rested.
Soon, the sound of snoring became louder.
Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng, and several supervisors gathered together.
The map is spread out.
Xu Huizu served as a staff officer.
He quickly took a wooden ruler and based on the scout's report, measured on the map the location of the road leading to the north ahead.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The imperial court's overall picture of the grassland is really too rough."
He had seen the army's first town staff collect and draw maps of Luzon, Champa and other countries.
That's called a military map.
Not only does it mark the river.
Even villages, tribes, wells, and even places where coconuts are abundant and can provide water sources for the army are marked!
In contrast, look at the entire grassland map of the imperial court.
It is more than 200 miles west of the mouth of the Three Gorges, close to [-] miles away.
There is a road that can barely pass for the army to go north, but it is not marked.
Zhu Di patted Xu Huizu on the shoulder and said, "When you are transferred back to the Central Government, you can draw up a comprehensive and more detailed military map."
With that said, let’s end this topic.
Pointing to the passage marked on the map, he said: "Tonight, we are going north. Once we go north, the speed will be even faster..."
This is more than 200 miles, close to [-] miles.
The brothers ran for four days.
That’s sixty or seventy miles every day.
Once you go north, you can't.
Beiyuan basically evacuated all the tribes south of Yin Mountain to the north of Yin Mountain.
Once north.
Their whereabouts are very likely to be exposed.
Even if the army is not directly discovered by the tribes in the north.
The herdsmen of the tribe would definitely be able to detect clues from the horseshoes and ruts left behind after the army marched.
Therefore, once you go north, you must hurry!quick!quick!
When these small tribes reacted.
Rush to the back of the Three Gorges mouth in one breath.
Moreover, we must launch an attack immediately!
"It will take us four days to go west. After going north to Yinshan Mountain, we will turn back east. It is best to complete it within two days. The shorter the better. Of course, we must reserve the physical strength for the brothers to fight..."
Zhu Di looked at everyone.
Zhou Xianjue patted his chest and said with a confident smile: "My lord, it is not too difficult to travel more than 100 miles every day, not to mention the carriage. We will see at the end of the day, we can limit it to one and a half days, leaving half a day, after approaching the mouth of the Three Gorges , and hid it briefly to give the brothers some time to rest..."
Zhu Di listened silently.
He knows the sole skills of the Army's No. [-] town.
For several years, they trained twenty miles every day. Not to mention the horse-drawn carriage, even if they were all on foot, they would definitely be able to complete the attack in two days.
……
that night.
The first association defeated the small tribe.
They tied up all the surviving people of the tribe and left thirty scouts to watch. After plundering all the horses in the tribe, they successfully made their way north through the rugged and barely passable narrow passage.
Come to the back of Yinshan Mountain.
It is already child time.
Zhu Di stood by the roadside, watching the soldiers wearing stars and moons, and began to rush back with a roar.
look up……
……
The next day.
South of the Three Gorges mouth.
Xu Da arrived with his army.
Zhu Di's handsome banner.
Tan Yuan wore Zhu Di's four-star epaulette and pretended to be Zhu Di.
Everyone gathered around Tan Yuan.
Tan Yuan looked at Xu Da beside him, "Wei Guogong, give the order."
Xu Da stared at the terrain ahead.
To the east are rolling hills and hills.
To the west is the Yinshan Mountain, which is steep and densely covered with shrubs and trees.
The hillside was originally steep.
Trees and shrubs add to the obstacles.
There are still patches of snow that have not melted.
The wind blowing from the north blows in your face along the entrance of the Three Gorges. Even if you are five miles away, you can feel the wind like a knife.
If it is a strong attack from the front.
Want to capture the mouth of the Three Gorges.
I'm afraid at least ten thousand people will have to sacrifice, or even more.The scout reported that [-] Beiyuan cavalry were stationed thirty miles to the east.
It's clear, they just want to wait until their attack is exhausted, in an attempt to make a big profit!
At the mouth of the Three Gorges, we defeated or even completely annihilated this partial division.
If it hadn't been for Shiro's suggestion, he would have gone around to the back of the Three Gorges mouth and attacked quickly.
This battle is not easy to fight.
"Tongzhi Tan, fight now, before Fourth Brother reaches the back of the Three Gorges mouth?"
Zhu Gui asked confusedly, interrupting Xu Da's thoughts.
Xu Da shook his head helplessly.
These princes have no experience in leading troops, which is clearly exposed from the son-in-law's words.
Tan Yuan explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, first of all, we have to attract the attention of the Yuan army on the other side. If we come to the entrance of the Three Gorges and do not attack, the other side will inevitably become suspicious. If the other side is cautious and sends out cavalry, in case they find that the prince is attacking. The prince is very dangerous. We not only have to fight, but we have to fight hard, hard, forcing the other party to spend all their energy on paying attention to us..."
……
"Finally, this battle also just allows the prince's vassal guards to take turns to fight a few battles. You all, more or less, according to the prince's original military training manual, have deployed a large number of firecrackers in the army. The different weapon configurations, the new The use of tactics requires familiarity with actual combat..."
……
The acting king is not only the prince's brother.
He is also the prince's brother-in-law.
Although these princes lack experience in leading troops.
But among the generals who held military power in the Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid, these princes are the only ones who have no objection to the prince.
He doesn't mind teaching more and forming a good relationship with Wang Ye and Dong Fan.
What's more, this time the prince led a partial division, in addition to attracting Beiyuan troops.
There is also the purpose of teaching the princes.
Of course, we must take advantage of such practical opportunities.
Wait for Tan Yuan to finish speaking.
Xu Da turned to Zhu Ju and others, "Qiu Fu Daliao River Guard serves as the general reserve, and all the cavalry guards have gathered together. Under the command of Qiu Fu, they will coordinate with the Army's First Town to go to the east to defend against possible raids by the Beiyuan cavalry."
"The infantry of the other vassal kings will attack for two hours each, with King Zhou as the leader. You can discuss the attack, and I and Tan Yuan will serve as your advisers!"
……
Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zi, Zhu Gui and others were immediately shocked.
They all understood that Xu Da was training them.
"Yes!"
After everyone accepted the order in unison, they began to take action.
Soon, Qiu Fu led the Daliao River Guards, the Army's First Town and Second Association, the Cavalry Biao, and the vassal guard cavalry to form a formation east of the Three Gorges mouth.
The civilians began to build a large camp.
The vassal guards gathered west of the mouth of the Three Gorges, facing Yinshan Mountain.
The war is about to start.
Zhu's vassal guard took the lead in attacking.
In order to feel more clearly, Zhu Ru directly followed the attacking Qianhu soldiers and launched an attack.
The entire southern foothills of Yinshan Mountain.
The shouts of killing continued throughout the day.
That night.
The camp is five miles away from the foot of the mountain.
Inside the handsome account.
Brother Zhu Zhu and others gathered around several long tables put together, looking downcast.
Everyone has more or less something colorful about them.
Someone's face was scratched.
Zhu Zhu even had his arms wrapped in white cloth and hung around his neck.
It was getting dark.
The brothers gathered in the feudal king's guard, the most capable elites, and the brothers personally led the team, a total of 5000 people.
Stretch the front of the attack to the extreme.
This was done because, through the successive attacks during the day, they had figured out that there were only [-] Beiyuan infantry defending Yinshan.
The purpose of widening the front and wide is to dilute the opponent's strength.
And there are 5000 of them.
Concentrate your forces on several points.
Try this way.
In one breath, rush to the top of the mountain.
Occupy three or four points, and then take advantage of the darkness to expand the results.
This time it did have some effect.
Rushed to two-thirds of the mountainside.
But in the end it failed.
Zhu Ru met Mahamu.
While his arm was cut by Mahamu, while retreating, he slipped on the snow and rolled down, breaking his injured arm.
"Actually, you princes, you have played very well today."
Qiu Fu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Tan Yuan also nodded.
He also didn't expect that these pampered princes would be so brave.
Moreover, they can also think of widening the front and diluting Beiyuan's forces. Taking advantage of the offensive strength of 5000 troops, they can concentrate superior forces on certain roads in an attempt to break through.
Although, it was under the guidance of him and Wei Guogong that he came up with it.
But even so, it's rare.
Not everyone has the prince's keen talent for leading troops.
Brother Zhu Zhu and others looked up at Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan, wanting to see if these guys were comforting them because of their status.
Zhu Gui didn't see anything strange and asked in a low voice: "Did we really do well? You didn't deliberately say nice things to comfort us, right? If you said nice things, you guys would act too similar..."
Xu Da laughed angrily and stared away.
Zhu Gui quickly shrank his head.
This is his Mount Tai!
He is a prince.
But if he is dishonest in front of Taishan.
No need for father.
Fourth brother must teach him a lesson!
Xu Da ignored this unattractive son-in-law.
What should I say about his son-in-law?
He has average qualifications and likes to have fun.
No ambition.
No temper either.
In the future, if one day the court cuts down the vassal vassal, or suppresses the vassal king.
Other princes might dare to resist.
His son-in-law would never dare.
Belongs to the kind of submissive character.
This is actually good.
If Miaoyin girl marries Zhu Gui, at least she will be safe.
Even if the prince were to become a prince in the future, because of Shiro, he would not be able to accommodate his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Zhu Gui did not resist.
At least life is safe.
He was certain.
If the prince wants to cut down the feudal vassalage in the future.
Definitely start with Zhu Gui.
the reason is simple.
The acting king Zhu Gui was Shiro's brother-in-law.
With this alone, the prince could use the people in the court who were hostile to Shiro to launch a fierce attack on Zhu Gui's status as vassal king.
Xu Da suppressed the worries about the future buried deep in his heart and said with a smile: "Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu are right. In this battle near the evening, you have done a great job. Today's progress is very obvious. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to think about Think about the difficulties you feel during this battle."
Zhu Tie looked at Xu Da and the others, "Third uncle, we really almost attacked tonight, but at that time the Yuan army on the opposite side suddenly charged harder. They suddenly invested the small amount of troops they had reserved and charged in from above. Once we got down, we lost our footing and the front began to collapse, and then no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t hold on due to the terrain!”
When the army first arrived.
Although the slopes of Yinshan Mountain are steep.
But he observed that it was not difficult to go against the trend and rush upward.
After the actual battle.
Only then did they really feel how big of an advantage the opponent had when they rushed down the hillside and stood slightly higher than them.
"Yes, Third Uncle, I feel the same way."
"If we could hold on at that time, even if we retreat a little, hold on, and fight a stalemate, the whole army can slowly take a breath and then slowly counterattack, but the Yuan army rushed forward with a small amount of reinforcements, and the entire front line could not be stabilized. , the further you retreat, the less stable you become!"
……
The princes spoke one after another.
Everyone feels the same.
After the Yuan army put in a small amount of reinforcements, they rushed down and fell down, unable to stabilize at all!
Not even a chance to catch my breath.
Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan looked at each other and smiled.
Qiu Fu guided: "Princes, the difficulty you encounter is that you cannot stabilize. You princes can think of ways to provide a short respite to stabilize you!"
Zhu Xi and others frowned and looked at each other.
Then they got together and whispered to each other.
After a while.
Zhu Ju summarized the brothers' thoughts: "Third Uncle, this is what we think. Tomorrow, we will continue to attack in turns. When it gets close to dark, the elite guards gathered today will launch another fierce attack according to today's tactics. Wait for us When we attacked, we sent thousands of brothers to rush up the mountainside with pre-made planks and quickly built some bunkers between the trees that could accommodate a dozen people. In this way, we retreated and separated. If a part of our troops hides in them, we can block the Yuan soldiers rushing down. These bunkers can contain some of the Yuan soldiers, which may allow us to take a breather and buy time..."
Xu Da, Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu looked at each other.
Satisfied nod.
Tan Yuan smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but don't be too conservative. You only want to think about the brothers in the bunker, contain some Yuan troops, help you reduce the pressure and take a breather."
"You can lead the Yuan army to rush down the bunker, and then the brothers in the bunker, regardless of the Yuan army being restrained by them, rush out of the bunker. After carving out a passage, they can directly chase the Yuan army who rushed down first and rush down to form a Counterattack with firepower..."
Counterattack with firepower?
Zhu Ru and others murmured.
The scene described by Tan Yuan was pictured in his mind.
Ten soldiers per bunker.
Build a hundred bunkers halfway up the mountain.
When the Yuan army, which was chasing its defeated troops and rushing down the mountainside, was continuing its attack, a thousand of its elite troops rushed out and rushed down from the heights.
1000 people may be able to play an unimaginable role.
The last attack this evening.
Mahamu only invested [-] reinforcements.
Their front was completely shaken!
Xu Da glanced at Tan Yuan and the army's first town general.
From these generals, there was a very calm look.
He could tell that the tactic of counterattack with firepower was definitely not proposed by Tan Yuan on the spur of the moment.
The Army's First Town must have been studying this for a long time.
Don't know without contact.
More contact.
Only then can we discover more and more that the war thinking of Army No. [-] Town is very flexible and advanced.
Studying and pondering the direction is far beyond the court.
There are many experienced generals in the imperial court.
But the war mentality still remains in the past.
……
Xu Da sighed.
The more Zhu Ru and others thought about it, the brighter their eyes became.
Zhu Tong stood up suddenly, "Third uncle, for the last wave of attacks tomorrow, we will follow this method and use Tan Yuan's counterattack firepower. Perhaps, in this battle, without relying on fourth brother, we can defeat the people on Yinshan Mountain. The Yuan army ate it!"
Xu Da smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After getting Xu Da's approval.
Zhu Ru took his brothers and went to make arrangements.
A group of brothers walked out of the handsome tent and started talking excitedly.
"Fifth Brother, let's select the most capable elites under our command tonight. These 1000 people must be absolute elites!"
"Fifth brother, eldest brother must have never imagined that we would have such an outstanding performance, right?"
"Lao Ba, let's finish this battle tomorrow. Big Brother will be shocked!"
"Second brother and third brother must be envious of us. This time we are following the fourth brother's side troops. Not to mention the desperate running of the fourth brother. What we learned today and will use tomorrow are all from the previous imperial army. They’ve never used it before, just use firepower to defeat them! I’m sure it was the fourth brother who suggested this!”
……
that night.
Zhang Beicheng.
The main force of 40 troops and the 15 forwards commanded by Tang He, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying have set off.
Zhu Biao remains in Zhangbei's temporary commander's residence for the time being.
study.
Hu Weiyong plays chess with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao stepped down and asked casually: "How about your firm setting up a shareholding system for workers?"
Hu Weiyong was secretly happy, and after making the move, he said implicitly: "Prince, I was quite resistant to the employee share system at the beginning. After all, giving [-]%, or even [-] to [-]% of the share capital to some employees who spent a lot of money to hire, any businessman , I feel aggrieved and uncomfortable..."
He can make money.
That's his thing!
Why should we give it to those incompetent weaklings!
He can hire them and give them a bite to eat, which is already a gift!
Of course, you can't say this to the prince.
As for the future, he has figured out how to abolish the employee-share system.
Even if the imperial court implements a full-scale employment share system, don't be afraid!
He can separate employees from businesses.
The employees were transferred to Yahang, and Yahang established a worker-share system.
Yahang sent employees to work for his business.
He has a cooperative relationship with the dental industry.
He has nothing to do with the dispatched employees of the Yahang Employment System!
In this way, the best interests can be left in his hands.
He called this method the dispatch system!
Wait until the prince ascends the throne.
He encouraged Fujian to do this!
Destroy Zhu Silang's hard work!
Prompting, Zhu Silang became angry towards Daming!
Of course, Emperor Zhu would not do this in his dynasty.
……
Zhu Biao listened carefully, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Hu Weiyong, "Fang Xizhi and others persuaded Gu to support Huangshang to establish a shareholding system for employed workers on a small scale to avoid too much resistance and counterattack. The shareholding system introduced the style of employing workers into the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of this method?"
'Of course the method is a good method, but in the end, everything depends on the person who does it and executes it. '
Hu Weiyong ventriloquised and said with a smile: "I support this method, Prince. Even if the court is slow, it must release some attitudes in an orderly manner to give the people hope..."
Foolish people are like cattle.
A carrot should be hung in front of their heads.
Whether to feed them or not depends on the situation.
But the animals must not be left without hope.
Of course, people like him are just like beasts, so they can't talk to the prince.
No matter how this prince changes.
How does the brotherhood with Zhu Silang develop?
He certainly cannot accept his argument that the common people are just cattle.
I want to be reused by this person.
If these are not in line with the prince's thoughts, they must not be revealed.
……
Zhu Biao nodded while making his move.
After a while, Luozi smiled and said, "You lose!"
"The prince is strategizing, but the minister is not up to the task!"
Zhu Biao smiled.
He knew that Hu Weiyong had let go.
There is no need to expose this kind of flattery.
The monarch and his ministers are in harmony.
In the middle, there is always something lubricating.
Get up and walk to the window.
Squeak!
Open the window.
The cool wind blows against my face, and my whole body feels clear instantly.
Silently reviewing.
Tonight, I will test Hu Weiyong and see what Hu Weiyong said.
Hu Weiyong followed behind.
Looking at Zhu Biao's back, he said, "This is not easy to fool!"Emperor Zhu was a poor man. He was so unlucky that he had such an outstanding son and turned out to be a monster like Zhu Silang! '
In fact, he is very ambitious.
He not only wanted to use the anti-Yan alliance to support Zhu Yunzhen.
If the Defeat Yan Alliance succeeds.
His authority has the opportunity to taste the taste of the Nine-Five Supreme.
But he didn't dare to have such an idea.
First of all, Prince Zhu Biao is not a stupid person.
Secondly, Zhu Silang!
Zhu Silang will not die.
As long as he dares to steal the artifact.
Zhu Silang's new army and navy will inevitably rush to the Central Plains!
With Zhu Silang's influence in the Central Plains.
His Hu family will definitely destroy all nine clans!
Even though Zhu Silang was already dead at that time.
But as long as the forces of Zhu Silang's lineage still exist.
Even Zhu Yongming can raise this flag!
With Zhu Silang's influence, counterattack the Central Plains!
The people of the Central Plains remember Zhu Silang well.
You will win Liangyingcong Zhu Yongming!
have to say.
Emperor Zhu, a man with mud-legged background, is really capable!
Zhu Silang's lineage went to sea and established a foundation.
As long as Zhu Silang's lineage does not oppose the Ming Dynasty.
No ambitious person would dare to steal the throne of the Zhu family in the Central Plains!
This is Emperor Zhu’s plan!
sometime.
Zhu Biao suddenly spoke, "Do you think that the Fourth Brother can conquer the entrance of the Three Gorges? The emperor's younger brothers, like Gu, have never led troops. They won't hinder the Fourth Brother, right?"
'Does the prince hope to lose, or is he worried about defeat? '
Hu Weiyong pondered.
He should be worried about losing.
Worried that King Zhou and other vassal kings would not perform well.
After all, the outcome of this northern expedition is directly related to the prince's prestige.
The prince indulged Chang Mao and suppressed Zhu Silang's reputation in the army.
But it is absolutely not hoped that because Zhou Wang and others hold Zhu Silang back, the partial division will be defeated and unable to attract the main force of Beiyuan.
It is even more difficult for the main force of the imperial court to reach the fishing sea.
Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, "Prince, I don't know much about the princes, so I can't provide advice to the prince."
The prince did not leave with the main force.
Now it seems that they should be waiting for news from the Three Gorges mouth.
Worry about King Zhou and others!
Hold back Zhu Silang!
Zhu Biao patted the window edge and sighed silently, "Then just wait!"
Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
(End of this chapter)
Four days later.
The army is sixty miles away from the mouth of the Three Gorges.
The princes rode beside Xu Da.
Xu Da told everyone about the topography of the Three Gorges mouth, "The Three Gorges mouth is located at the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain and in the middle of the southern Mongolian Plateau. It just forms a mouth about ten meters long and five or six meters wide. To the west, towards the Yinshan Mountain, the terrain is steep. With shrubs and woods as obstacles, the defenders only need to send a small number of troops to control the Yinshan side of the Three Gorges entrance..."
……
"Although the terrain at the southern foot of the Mongolian Plateau in the east is not as steep as the Yinshan Mountains, the hills are rolling. Although the infantry and cavalry can barely advance in this terrain, the baggage and artillery accompanying the army cannot accompany the army."
……
"In addition, this kind of undulating terrain is very suitable for Beiyuan's elite cavalry to block. The opponent will definitely occupy the undulating commanding heights first. We send troops from bottom to top and pay a heavy price to defeat Beiyuan's blockade and overturn it. Entering the mountain col, what is waiting for us is the Beiyuan Jingqi, occupying another commanding height, and rushing down from the high ground to strike. This kind of terrain is very troublesome, and if you bite hard, you will often have to pay a huge price!"
……
Zhu Ju, Zhu Zi and others listened carefully.
Zhu Gui asked: "Taishan, if we are at the foot of the mountain, is it okay to blast it with artillery?"
His vassal guards stayed behind to build a camp and guard the food and grass that could not be taken away.
He followed.
How can you miss such a learning opportunity?
"No." Tan Yuan shook his head.
Zhu Ru and others all looked at Tan Yuan.
Xu Da smiled and nodded, asking Tan Yuan to explain to everyone.
Tan Yuan gestured and said: "Our artillery fires directly. As long as the Beiyuan cavalry hides on the northern slope of the mountain, they can avoid the artillery and send a small number of observation posts. Once our cavalry launches a charge, they can quickly occupy the commanding heights. The prince will This tactic is named reverse bevel tactic. The prince said that the best way to deal with this reverse bevel tactic is to invent a cannon that can shoot in a straight direction..."
"like this……"
Tan Yuan raised his hand first and then lowered it, "Only if the ballistic trajectory of artillery shells is in this form, can the shells hit the reverse slope. If there is such artillery, it would be good if the enemy uses this tactic. When the artillery battalion fired the artillery to hit the reverse slope, the cavalry followed the artillery shells and rushed forward. When they rushed to the commanding heights of the mountain, the artillery battalion stopped arranging artillery, and the cavalry or infantry rushed forward..."
Anti-slope tactics?
Xu Dapin smacked his lips.
This name is so vivid and vivid that even a low-level general who cannot read a single Chinese character can understand it just by making some gestures.
"Tan Yuan, Shiro has compiled a new tactical manual?" After Tan Yuan finished speaking, Xu Da couldn't wait to ask.
Tan Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Wei Guogong, this is what the prince told us when he was taking us back to the court and had nothing to do on the warship."
"On weekdays, during training at the Jilongyu Camp, during his free time, the prince would also call together the generals above the platoon in the army and talk to everyone about some tactics, mainly focusing on some of the tactics of the new army, and How to cooperate with cavalry, how to cooperate with naval warships, launch landings, etc..."
"For example, the prince proposed that the use of firecrackers and artillery in the future defense of the city must not only defend the city wall. It should be combined with the surrounding terrain and landforms to defend outside the city, forcing the siege party's artillery to be unable to threaten the city wall, just like In this attack on Zhangbeicheng, once the parapets are blasted open by artillery, it will be very advantageous for the attackers to enter the city..."
Xu Da and the princes listened carefully.
After hearing what Tan Yuan said, everyone understood.
The war thinking of the Army's First Town has definitely left the Ming army far behind.
Qiu Fu asked curiously: "Tan Yuan, have you practiced the kind you just mentioned, where cavalry or infantry rush forward accompanied by artillery shells?"
Zhu Laosan is shameless.
Leaving him behind to lead the troops, he shamelessly followed the fourth child to attack.
Xu Da glanced at Qiu Fu.
Qiu Fu was very talented in military affairs.
At a glance, we can see the value of this tactic in winning battles between the two armies.
Xu Da also looked at Tan Yuan.
With everyone watching, Tan Yuan couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. He tried his best to suppress it, shook his head and said with a smile: "The prince calls this tactic the coordination of cavalry and artillery, and infantry and artillery. He also proposed it on the way back. He hasn't trained it yet." , The prince said that this tactic is most suitable in large-scale field battles."
"And there must be enough artillery."
"It's best to set up a specialized artillery army, with at least two to three hundred guns."
"The artillery is also arranged in three sections..."
……
"I'm thinking that after we finish the Northern Expedition and return to Jilong Island, we will train this tactic and use it when we attack Luzon in the future..."
After everyone heard this, the corners of their lips twitched fiercely.
Deception is too much!
Can Luzon, a small country, muster [-] troops?
Even if we can gather [-] soldiers and horses.
The first town of the Dongfan Army and the first mixed association, with more than 2 people based on current tactics, may be able to crush Luzon's [-] troops.
Tan Yuan and his group actually want to use infantry and artillery to coordinate with others?
but……
Do not know why……
Everyone is eager to give it a try.
I really like this kind of bullying style.
I wish I could go and be there, even if I don’t participate in person, just watch it!
'Damn you old man! '
Qiu Fu cursed in anger when he heard this.
He couldn't wait to immediately give up his official position in the court and follow Gui Laosi.
But this cannot be done.
Doing so will damage the relationship between the court and Lao Si.
Likewise, he is irresponsible to the Daliao River Guards and the group of old brothers who follow him.
Xu Da took a deep look at Tan Yuan, whose eyes were full of confidence.
If Shiro is allowed to organize and train a new army like the First Army Town of Wuliu Town.
Then cooperate with a few mixed associations.
I'm afraid that the fourth child really has some thoughts about the Ming Dynasty, and relying on their new war concepts, they can push the imperial court to its limits.
No wonder, this time, Shiro came back with the Army's First Town.
The prince's implicit attitude towards Shiro has changed so obviously.
Just imagine.
The new army in six towns cooperated with several mixed associations.
Gather one hundred thousand elites.
Hundreds of artillery pieces.
The infantry and artillery cooperated to form a battle with the imperial court and win the battle in the field.
Can the imperial court win the battle with its current troops?
"Tan Yuan, I heard that Luzon's territory is not small, and my father agreed that all the prisoners in this battle will be given to Fourth Brother. Once Luzon is captured, Fourth Brother will definitely establish a country, right?"
"Have you heard from Fourth Brother, what country name should I use?"
……
When the princes heard that Tan Yuan mentioned attacking Luzon, they couldn't wait to inquire.
While in Zhangbei camp.
The contributions of the Fourth Brother and the Army No. [-] Town brothers were deliberately suppressed by the people in the Big Brother system.
When they went to comfort the fourth brother.
Just outside Fourth Brother's handsome tent, I vaguely heard about the founding of the country.
I just never had the nerve to ask.
For a time, everyone was asking about Zhu Di's founding of Luzon.
……
Three Gorges.
"Report! Report! Report!"
Mahamu was taking Nahachu and others along the ridge of Yinshan Mountain to explain his troop formation.
The scouts sent out returned, using their hands and feet, to follow the hillside to the ridge.
"Your Majesty, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty has arrived sixty miles away!"
"It came so fast!" Taiping joked with a smile.
Everyone laughed.
Naha laughed very conservatively, waved his hand, dismissed the scouts, and said: "Mahamu, continue to express your thoughts."
Mahamu nodded and continued: "On the side of Yinshan Mountain at the entrance of the Three Gorges, we can put an elite infantry army, as long as 1 people..."
Naha came out and saw Mahamu looking at him.
Knowing Mahamu, I want him to provide this elite infantry.
In the Battle of Zhangbei, 3 people defended the city.
After the defeat, more than 2 people escaped.
About seven or eight thousand were lost.
The loss is not that big.
He originally planned to fill in all 3 people.
I thought it would turn into an anxious fuel battle.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Silang's army's first town was broken so quickly.
"I will provide this elite infantry with five thousand musketeers, three thousand archers, and two thousand sword and shield soldiers. However, the artillery cannot be transported, and I still want to keep the remaining twenty artillery pieces. Shouhe Lin.”
Zhang Bei fought.
More than thirty artillery pieces were all lost to Ming Dynasty.
Now, among his 10,000+ troops, there are only a few dozen artillery pieces left.
There are not as many as the Army's First Artillery Battalion.
After retreating to the grassland, iron became a scarce commodity.
Moreover, their cannon-casting methods are also very backward.
The methods still used were left over from when the imperial court ruled the Central Plains.
Just enlarge the cannon as much as possible.
In addition, after retreating from Liaodong, not many craftsmen were collected from the grasslands.
Even with this heavy artillery, the casting speed is very slow.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mahamu smiled and clasped his fists in thanks, and continued to introduce: "There is no need for artillery. I have already thought of a way to make the fourth prince of Ming's artillery unable to exert its power..."
Naha raised an eyebrow.
Others also looked at Mahamu.
Mahamu pointed to the shady side and said with a confident smile: "The artillery fire is direct. As long as our soldiers climb on the shady slope, they will be fine. When the Ming army infantry launched an attack and reached the mountainside, we quickly rushed from the top of the mountain. Go down, give a thunderous blow from the terrain, and at the same time, the two sides quickly strangled each other, and the artillery of the Army's First Town was useless, unless the Fourth Prince Ming didn't even care about the lives of his own soldiers!"
Naha Chu and the others' eyes couldn't help but light up.
Naha took a deep look at Mahamu, raised his hand and patted Mahamu on the shoulder, and then looked at everyone, "You are all the young wolves of our grassland, the new generation. You are ambitious and full of courage. Baring your teeth, you look around like an eagle and a wolf, hungry to devour anything that can strengthen you..."
Mahamu and others were slightly stunned.
Unexpectedly, Naha Chu actually broke through this thin layer of paper in public.
……
"In the entire grassland, the only armored elites that can be gathered now are 60 that have been gathered together during this battle. You should be very clear that these elites were brought to the grassland from the Central Plains during the retreat... "
If we lose these 60 elites.
The grassland will never again be able to gather such strong elite troops.
"If this battle fails, even if you can still retain your tribe and survive by surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, you can no longer think about it. Each of you has [-] or [-] armored elites. You can support [-] to [-] elites based on your tribal output. , it’s already the limit!”
"All, I hope that in this battle, you will put aside all your ambitions and calculations and defeat the Ming army! Once the 50 elite Ming army collapses deep in our grassland, they will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered. The Ming army's artillery and fire Guns, army craftsmen, armor, this wealth is enough for you to grow..."
……
He is very clear.
This time, after defeating 50 elite Ming troops.
The grassland will never usher in glory.
It must be the time when these young wolf cubs are attacking each other and the royal court has completely lost its majesty.
But he still hopes.
In this battle, everyone unites as one and goes all out to defeat Ming Dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty lost 50 elites.
Within ten years, they would not be able to march north again.
With more than ten years of civil strife in the grassland, it should be possible to choose a new hero to replace the Golden Family.
After a group of young people from Mahamu looked at each other, they touched their chests and said solemnly: "Don't worry, King Liaoyang, we will definitely not have any selfish intentions in this battle!"
"it is good!"
Haha ...
Nahachu immediately raised his head and laughed heartily.
It's not in vain that he, an old wolf in his old age, sets an example and pays his dues.
Where is the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?
He led the Army's First Town, a group of new recruits with no actual combat experience, to engage in an offensive and defensive battle like Zhang Bei's in the first battle.
He is also setting an example.
Did his example work?
he does not know.
But he knew the elites of the Central Plains.
Back then, he had met military commanders and scholars from the Central Plains.
The elites of the Central Plains are full of selfish desires.
They can for their own benefit.
Do anything that goes against your moral beliefs.
'The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, I guess, your example has not worked! '
The smile on Naha's lips grew wider.
In this battle, the Ming Dynasty came fiercely.
But the time, place and people are favorable.
They all have certain advantages.
Zhu Silang is willing to pay alone, what's the use?
On the contrary, Zhu Silang's "silly energy" will drag him to death!
……
West of the mouth of the Three Gorges, south of the Yinshan Mountains, two hundred miles away.
A large army, with half of the soldiers riding in carriages, running wildly in front, and half of the soldiers following the generals at all levels, running silently on the slightly muddy yellow grass after the snow melted.
"Come on!"
"Brothers who can't hold on, don't be afraid of embarrassment, take the initiative to report, and go to the front to take a carriage to rest!"
……
Zhu Di and generals at all levels stood on the side of the queue, running forward and back to cheer and encourage the brothers.
Each of the generals looked paler than the soldiers.
Running forward and backward like this along the way, the distance they ran was several times that of ordinary soldiers.
In Army First Town.
In terms of various skills, they are not even as good as ordinary soldiers.
It is impossible to become a general.
Team officers only need to manage their own queue, run before and after the queue under their jurisdiction, check the status of each brother, and make the most appropriate judgment.
The pipe leaders have to run in front and behind the four teams under their jurisdiction.
The physical exertion is several times that of a team officer.
And so on.
The more senior an officer is, the more miles he has to run and the greater his physical exertion.
The higher your own quality requirements!
blah blah blah...
Shouting.
The sound of rapid horse hooves came.
Zhu Di stopped and followed the sound.
The scouts came galloping forward.
Thirty steps away, he loosened the reins of his horse, jumped off his horse, and trotted to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, there is a passage leading to the back of Yinshan Mountain thirty miles ahead. However, there is a small tribe stationed there. Near this passage.”
Zhu Di turned around and ordered Zhang Wu, "Order the soldiers to rest on the spot. Let's work together in the evening to control the small tribes in front first, and then go north!"
……
After Zhang Wu received the order, he took the reins of the horse from the soldiers, got on his horse and went to deliver the order.
Soon, the rapidly advancing array stopped.
The soldiers rested on the spot.
After hastily eating some cold pancakes, they huddled together in groups, wrapped in military quilts, and rested.
Soon, the sound of snoring became louder.
Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng, and several supervisors gathered together.
The map is spread out.
Xu Huizu served as a staff officer.
He quickly took a wooden ruler and based on the scout's report, measured on the map the location of the road leading to the north ahead.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The imperial court's overall picture of the grassland is really too rough."
He had seen the army's first town staff collect and draw maps of Luzon, Champa and other countries.
That's called a military map.
Not only does it mark the river.
Even villages, tribes, wells, and even places where coconuts are abundant and can provide water sources for the army are marked!
In contrast, look at the entire grassland map of the imperial court.
It is more than 200 miles west of the mouth of the Three Gorges, close to [-] miles away.
There is a road that can barely pass for the army to go north, but it is not marked.
Zhu Di patted Xu Huizu on the shoulder and said, "When you are transferred back to the Central Government, you can draw up a comprehensive and more detailed military map."
With that said, let’s end this topic.
Pointing to the passage marked on the map, he said: "Tonight, we are going north. Once we go north, the speed will be even faster..."
This is more than 200 miles, close to [-] miles.
The brothers ran for four days.
That’s sixty or seventy miles every day.
Once you go north, you can't.
Beiyuan basically evacuated all the tribes south of Yin Mountain to the north of Yin Mountain.
Once north.
Their whereabouts are very likely to be exposed.
Even if the army is not directly discovered by the tribes in the north.
The herdsmen of the tribe would definitely be able to detect clues from the horseshoes and ruts left behind after the army marched.
Therefore, once you go north, you must hurry!quick!quick!
When these small tribes reacted.
Rush to the back of the Three Gorges mouth in one breath.
Moreover, we must launch an attack immediately!
"It will take us four days to go west. After going north to Yinshan Mountain, we will turn back east. It is best to complete it within two days. The shorter the better. Of course, we must reserve the physical strength for the brothers to fight..."
Zhu Di looked at everyone.
Zhou Xianjue patted his chest and said with a confident smile: "My lord, it is not too difficult to travel more than 100 miles every day, not to mention the carriage. We will see at the end of the day, we can limit it to one and a half days, leaving half a day, after approaching the mouth of the Three Gorges , and hid it briefly to give the brothers some time to rest..."
Zhu Di listened silently.
He knows the sole skills of the Army's No. [-] town.
For several years, they trained twenty miles every day. Not to mention the horse-drawn carriage, even if they were all on foot, they would definitely be able to complete the attack in two days.
……
that night.
The first association defeated the small tribe.
They tied up all the surviving people of the tribe and left thirty scouts to watch. After plundering all the horses in the tribe, they successfully made their way north through the rugged and barely passable narrow passage.
Come to the back of Yinshan Mountain.
It is already child time.
Zhu Di stood by the roadside, watching the soldiers wearing stars and moons, and began to rush back with a roar.
look up……
……
The next day.
South of the Three Gorges mouth.
Xu Da arrived with his army.
Zhu Di's handsome banner.
Tan Yuan wore Zhu Di's four-star epaulette and pretended to be Zhu Di.
Everyone gathered around Tan Yuan.
Tan Yuan looked at Xu Da beside him, "Wei Guogong, give the order."
Xu Da stared at the terrain ahead.
To the east are rolling hills and hills.
To the west is the Yinshan Mountain, which is steep and densely covered with shrubs and trees.
The hillside was originally steep.
Trees and shrubs add to the obstacles.
There are still patches of snow that have not melted.
The wind blowing from the north blows in your face along the entrance of the Three Gorges. Even if you are five miles away, you can feel the wind like a knife.
If it is a strong attack from the front.
Want to capture the mouth of the Three Gorges.
I'm afraid at least ten thousand people will have to sacrifice, or even more.The scout reported that [-] Beiyuan cavalry were stationed thirty miles to the east.
It's clear, they just want to wait until their attack is exhausted, in an attempt to make a big profit!
At the mouth of the Three Gorges, we defeated or even completely annihilated this partial division.
If it hadn't been for Shiro's suggestion, he would have gone around to the back of the Three Gorges mouth and attacked quickly.
This battle is not easy to fight.
"Tongzhi Tan, fight now, before Fourth Brother reaches the back of the Three Gorges mouth?"
Zhu Gui asked confusedly, interrupting Xu Da's thoughts.
Xu Da shook his head helplessly.
These princes have no experience in leading troops, which is clearly exposed from the son-in-law's words.
Tan Yuan explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, first of all, we have to attract the attention of the Yuan army on the other side. If we come to the entrance of the Three Gorges and do not attack, the other side will inevitably become suspicious. If the other side is cautious and sends out cavalry, in case they find that the prince is attacking. The prince is very dangerous. We not only have to fight, but we have to fight hard, hard, forcing the other party to spend all their energy on paying attention to us..."
……
"Finally, this battle also just allows the prince's vassal guards to take turns to fight a few battles. You all, more or less, according to the prince's original military training manual, have deployed a large number of firecrackers in the army. The different weapon configurations, the new The use of tactics requires familiarity with actual combat..."
……
The acting king is not only the prince's brother.
He is also the prince's brother-in-law.
Although these princes lack experience in leading troops.
But among the generals who held military power in the Ming Dynasty.
I'm afraid, these princes are the only ones who have no objection to the prince.
He doesn't mind teaching more and forming a good relationship with Wang Ye and Dong Fan.
What's more, this time the prince led a partial division, in addition to attracting Beiyuan troops.
There is also the purpose of teaching the princes.
Of course, we must take advantage of such practical opportunities.
Wait for Tan Yuan to finish speaking.
Xu Da turned to Zhu Ju and others, "Qiu Fu Daliao River Guard serves as the general reserve, and all the cavalry guards have gathered together. Under the command of Qiu Fu, they will coordinate with the Army's First Town to go to the east to defend against possible raids by the Beiyuan cavalry."
"The infantry of the other vassal kings will attack for two hours each, with King Zhou as the leader. You can discuss the attack, and I and Tan Yuan will serve as your advisers!"
……
Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zi, Zhu Gui and others were immediately shocked.
They all understood that Xu Da was training them.
"Yes!"
After everyone accepted the order in unison, they began to take action.
Soon, Qiu Fu led the Daliao River Guards, the Army's First Town and Second Association, the Cavalry Biao, and the vassal guard cavalry to form a formation east of the Three Gorges mouth.
The civilians began to build a large camp.
The vassal guards gathered west of the mouth of the Three Gorges, facing Yinshan Mountain.
The war is about to start.
Zhu's vassal guard took the lead in attacking.
In order to feel more clearly, Zhu Ru directly followed the attacking Qianhu soldiers and launched an attack.
The entire southern foothills of Yinshan Mountain.
The shouts of killing continued throughout the day.
That night.
The camp is five miles away from the foot of the mountain.
Inside the handsome account.
Brother Zhu Zhu and others gathered around several long tables put together, looking downcast.
Everyone has more or less something colorful about them.
Someone's face was scratched.
Zhu Zhu even had his arms wrapped in white cloth and hung around his neck.
It was getting dark.
The brothers gathered in the feudal king's guard, the most capable elites, and the brothers personally led the team, a total of 5000 people.
Stretch the front of the attack to the extreme.
This was done because, through the successive attacks during the day, they had figured out that there were only [-] Beiyuan infantry defending Yinshan.
The purpose of widening the front and wide is to dilute the opponent's strength.
And there are 5000 of them.
Concentrate your forces on several points.
Try this way.
In one breath, rush to the top of the mountain.
Occupy three or four points, and then take advantage of the darkness to expand the results.
This time it did have some effect.
Rushed to two-thirds of the mountainside.
But in the end it failed.
Zhu Ru met Mahamu.
While his arm was cut by Mahamu, while retreating, he slipped on the snow and rolled down, breaking his injured arm.
"Actually, you princes, you have played very well today."
Qiu Fu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
Tan Yuan also nodded.
He also didn't expect that these pampered princes would be so brave.
Moreover, they can also think of widening the front and diluting Beiyuan's forces. Taking advantage of the offensive strength of 5000 troops, they can concentrate superior forces on certain roads in an attempt to break through.
Although, it was under the guidance of him and Wei Guogong that he came up with it.
But even so, it's rare.
Not everyone has the prince's keen talent for leading troops.
Brother Zhu Zhu and others looked up at Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan, wanting to see if these guys were comforting them because of their status.
Zhu Gui didn't see anything strange and asked in a low voice: "Did we really do well? You didn't deliberately say nice things to comfort us, right? If you said nice things, you guys would act too similar..."
Xu Da laughed angrily and stared away.
Zhu Gui quickly shrank his head.
This is his Mount Tai!
He is a prince.
But if he is dishonest in front of Taishan.
No need for father.
Fourth brother must teach him a lesson!
Xu Da ignored this unattractive son-in-law.
What should I say about his son-in-law?
He has average qualifications and likes to have fun.
No ambition.
No temper either.
In the future, if one day the court cuts down the vassal vassal, or suppresses the vassal king.
Other princes might dare to resist.
His son-in-law would never dare.
Belongs to the kind of submissive character.
This is actually good.
If Miaoyin girl marries Zhu Gui, at least she will be safe.
Even if the prince were to become a prince in the future, because of Shiro, he would not be able to accommodate his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Zhu Gui did not resist.
At least life is safe.
He was certain.
If the prince wants to cut down the feudal vassalage in the future.
Definitely start with Zhu Gui.
the reason is simple.
The acting king Zhu Gui was Shiro's brother-in-law.
With this alone, the prince could use the people in the court who were hostile to Shiro to launch a fierce attack on Zhu Gui's status as vassal king.
Xu Da suppressed the worries about the future buried deep in his heart and said with a smile: "Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu are right. In this battle near the evening, you have done a great job. Today's progress is very obvious. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to think about Think about the difficulties you feel during this battle."
Zhu Tie looked at Xu Da and the others, "Third uncle, we really almost attacked tonight, but at that time the Yuan army on the opposite side suddenly charged harder. They suddenly invested the small amount of troops they had reserved and charged in from above. Once we got down, we lost our footing and the front began to collapse, and then no matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t hold on due to the terrain!”
When the army first arrived.
Although the slopes of Yinshan Mountain are steep.
But he observed that it was not difficult to go against the trend and rush upward.
After the actual battle.
Only then did they really feel how big of an advantage the opponent had when they rushed down the hillside and stood slightly higher than them.
"Yes, Third Uncle, I feel the same way."
"If we could hold on at that time, even if we retreat a little, hold on, and fight a stalemate, the whole army can slowly take a breath and then slowly counterattack, but the Yuan army rushed forward with a small amount of reinforcements, and the entire front line could not be stabilized. , the further you retreat, the less stable you become!"
……
The princes spoke one after another.
Everyone feels the same.
After the Yuan army put in a small amount of reinforcements, they rushed down and fell down, unable to stabilize at all!
Not even a chance to catch my breath.
Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan looked at each other and smiled.
Qiu Fu guided: "Princes, the difficulty you encounter is that you cannot stabilize. You princes can think of ways to provide a short respite to stabilize you!"
Zhu Xi and others frowned and looked at each other.
Then they got together and whispered to each other.
After a while.
Zhu Ju summarized the brothers' thoughts: "Third Uncle, this is what we think. Tomorrow, we will continue to attack in turns. When it gets close to dark, the elite guards gathered today will launch another fierce attack according to today's tactics. Wait for us When we attacked, we sent thousands of brothers to rush up the mountainside with pre-made planks and quickly built some bunkers between the trees that could accommodate a dozen people. In this way, we retreated and separated. If a part of our troops hides in them, we can block the Yuan soldiers rushing down. These bunkers can contain some of the Yuan soldiers, which may allow us to take a breather and buy time..."
Xu Da, Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu looked at each other.
Satisfied nod.
Tan Yuan smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but don't be too conservative. You only want to think about the brothers in the bunker, contain some Yuan troops, help you reduce the pressure and take a breather."
"You can lead the Yuan army to rush down the bunker, and then the brothers in the bunker, regardless of the Yuan army being restrained by them, rush out of the bunker. After carving out a passage, they can directly chase the Yuan army who rushed down first and rush down to form a Counterattack with firepower..."
Counterattack with firepower?
Zhu Ru and others murmured.
The scene described by Tan Yuan was pictured in his mind.
Ten soldiers per bunker.
Build a hundred bunkers halfway up the mountain.
When the Yuan army, which was chasing its defeated troops and rushing down the mountainside, was continuing its attack, a thousand of its elite troops rushed out and rushed down from the heights.
1000 people may be able to play an unimaginable role.
The last attack this evening.
Mahamu only invested [-] reinforcements.
Their front was completely shaken!
Xu Da glanced at Tan Yuan and the army's first town general.
From these generals, there was a very calm look.
He could tell that the tactic of counterattack with firepower was definitely not proposed by Tan Yuan on the spur of the moment.
The Army's First Town must have been studying this for a long time.
Don't know without contact.
More contact.
Only then can we discover more and more that the war thinking of Army No. [-] Town is very flexible and advanced.
Studying and pondering the direction is far beyond the court.
There are many experienced generals in the imperial court.
But the war mentality still remains in the past.
……
Xu Da sighed.
The more Zhu Ru and others thought about it, the brighter their eyes became.
Zhu Tong stood up suddenly, "Third uncle, for the last wave of attacks tomorrow, we will follow this method and use Tan Yuan's counterattack firepower. Perhaps, in this battle, without relying on fourth brother, we can defeat the people on Yinshan Mountain. The Yuan army ate it!"
Xu Da smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After getting Xu Da's approval.
Zhu Ru took his brothers and went to make arrangements.
A group of brothers walked out of the handsome tent and started talking excitedly.
"Fifth Brother, let's select the most capable elites under our command tonight. These 1000 people must be absolute elites!"
"Fifth brother, eldest brother must have never imagined that we would have such an outstanding performance, right?"
"Lao Ba, let's finish this battle tomorrow. Big Brother will be shocked!"
"Second brother and third brother must be envious of us. This time we are following the fourth brother's side troops. Not to mention the desperate running of the fourth brother. What we learned today and will use tomorrow are all from the previous imperial army. They’ve never used it before, just use firepower to defeat them! I’m sure it was the fourth brother who suggested this!”
……
that night.
Zhang Beicheng.
The main force of 40 troops and the 15 forwards commanded by Tang He, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying have set off.
Zhu Biao remains in Zhangbei's temporary commander's residence for the time being.
study.
Hu Weiyong plays chess with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao stepped down and asked casually: "How about your firm setting up a shareholding system for workers?"
Hu Weiyong was secretly happy, and after making the move, he said implicitly: "Prince, I was quite resistant to the employee share system at the beginning. After all, giving [-]%, or even [-] to [-]% of the share capital to some employees who spent a lot of money to hire, any businessman , I feel aggrieved and uncomfortable..."
He can make money.
That's his thing!
Why should we give it to those incompetent weaklings!
He can hire them and give them a bite to eat, which is already a gift!
Of course, you can't say this to the prince.
As for the future, he has figured out how to abolish the employee-share system.
Even if the imperial court implements a full-scale employment share system, don't be afraid!
He can separate employees from businesses.
The employees were transferred to Yahang, and Yahang established a worker-share system.
Yahang sent employees to work for his business.
He has a cooperative relationship with the dental industry.
He has nothing to do with the dispatched employees of the Yahang Employment System!
In this way, the best interests can be left in his hands.
He called this method the dispatch system!
Wait until the prince ascends the throne.
He encouraged Fujian to do this!
Destroy Zhu Silang's hard work!
Prompting, Zhu Silang became angry towards Daming!
Of course, Emperor Zhu would not do this in his dynasty.
……
Zhu Biao listened carefully, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Hu Weiyong, "Fang Xizhi and others persuaded Gu to support Huangshang to establish a shareholding system for employed workers on a small scale to avoid too much resistance and counterattack. The shareholding system introduced the style of employing workers into the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of this method?"
'Of course the method is a good method, but in the end, everything depends on the person who does it and executes it. '
Hu Weiyong ventriloquised and said with a smile: "I support this method, Prince. Even if the court is slow, it must release some attitudes in an orderly manner to give the people hope..."
Foolish people are like cattle.
A carrot should be hung in front of their heads.
Whether to feed them or not depends on the situation.
But the animals must not be left without hope.
Of course, people like him are just like beasts, so they can't talk to the prince.
No matter how this prince changes.
How does the brotherhood with Zhu Silang develop?
He certainly cannot accept his argument that the common people are just cattle.
I want to be reused by this person.
If these are not in line with the prince's thoughts, they must not be revealed.
……
Zhu Biao nodded while making his move.
After a while, Luozi smiled and said, "You lose!"
"The prince is strategizing, but the minister is not up to the task!"
Zhu Biao smiled.
He knew that Hu Weiyong had let go.
There is no need to expose this kind of flattery.
The monarch and his ministers are in harmony.
In the middle, there is always something lubricating.
Get up and walk to the window.
Squeak!
Open the window.
The cool wind blows against my face, and my whole body feels clear instantly.
Silently reviewing.
Tonight, I will test Hu Weiyong and see what Hu Weiyong said.
Hu Weiyong followed behind.
Looking at Zhu Biao's back, he said, "This is not easy to fool!"Emperor Zhu was a poor man. He was so unlucky that he had such an outstanding son and turned out to be a monster like Zhu Silang! '
In fact, he is very ambitious.
He not only wanted to use the anti-Yan alliance to support Zhu Yunzhen.
If the Defeat Yan Alliance succeeds.
His authority has the opportunity to taste the taste of the Nine-Five Supreme.
But he didn't dare to have such an idea.
First of all, Prince Zhu Biao is not a stupid person.
Secondly, Zhu Silang!
Zhu Silang will not die.
As long as he dares to steal the artifact.
Zhu Silang's new army and navy will inevitably rush to the Central Plains!
With Zhu Silang's influence in the Central Plains.
His Hu family will definitely destroy all nine clans!
Even though Zhu Silang was already dead at that time.
But as long as the forces of Zhu Silang's lineage still exist.
Even Zhu Yongming can raise this flag!
With Zhu Silang's influence, counterattack the Central Plains!
The people of the Central Plains remember Zhu Silang well.
You will win Liangyingcong Zhu Yongming!
have to say.
Emperor Zhu, a man with mud-legged background, is really capable!
Zhu Silang's lineage went to sea and established a foundation.
As long as Zhu Silang's lineage does not oppose the Ming Dynasty.
No ambitious person would dare to steal the throne of the Zhu family in the Central Plains!
This is Emperor Zhu’s plan!
sometime.
Zhu Biao suddenly spoke, "Do you think that the Fourth Brother can conquer the entrance of the Three Gorges? The emperor's younger brothers, like Gu, have never led troops. They won't hinder the Fourth Brother, right?"
'Does the prince hope to lose, or is he worried about defeat? '
Hu Weiyong pondered.
He should be worried about losing.
Worried that King Zhou and other vassal kings would not perform well.
After all, the outcome of this northern expedition is directly related to the prince's prestige.
The prince indulged Chang Mao and suppressed Zhu Silang's reputation in the army.
But it is absolutely not hoped that because Zhou Wang and others hold Zhu Silang back, the partial division will be defeated and unable to attract the main force of Beiyuan.
It is even more difficult for the main force of the imperial court to reach the fishing sea.
Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, "Prince, I don't know much about the princes, so I can't provide advice to the prince."
The prince did not leave with the main force.
Now it seems that they should be waiting for news from the Three Gorges mouth.
Worry about King Zhou and others!
Hold back Zhu Silang!
Zhu Biao patted the window edge and sighed silently, "Then just wait!"
