Chapter 399 The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins

Following Wang Fu's order, under the brutal and inhumane bombardment of a hundred Hongyi cannons, Zelagang was directly killed and blinded.

Who is coming to attack? Why didn't you hear the warning of the enemy attack?

Later, the people responsible for defending the city found out that the enemy troops were bombing five miles away. How could they fight?

It's impossible to guard against it.

After a round of bombing, before the 100,000 Zhuang militiamen were shocked by the terrifying power of the Ming army's artillery, Wang Fu gave another order: "Advance the entire army and break the city."

With a round of artillery suppression, it is believed that the defenders in the city can no longer reach the top of the city. This is a good time to advance at full speed and break the city.

But just when Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo were leading the charge, they were at the forefront and led the entire army to charge.

However, they saw the gate of Zelagang City in the distance slowly opening.

Before the army could attack the city, a group of people came out from the city to greet them, shouting: "The Emperor Manjusri of the Ming Dynasty is here, we surrender."

Although the 100,000-strong army led by the second general is a Zhuang militia, the banner must be the Ming Army and the vassal title of Zhu Zhen. You can tell at a glance that it is the Ming Army.

So people in the city have recognized the identity of this army.

and many more.

Zhao Kuo on the side also stopped and asked Wang Fu: "Is it possible to be deceitful? Bomb him with another cannon?"

The corner of Wang Fu's mouth twitched. If he bombed again, the city wall would collapse.

So they don't have to worry about His Highness at all.

Wang Fu suddenly fell into deep thought and had a bold idea in his mind.

"Let's check the situation first," Wang Fu said, leading the army no longer to charge, but to advance slowly to avoid encountering ambushes and traps.

"Enter the city first, and then discuss it after taking control of the city. Make plans before taking action."

Wang Fu was very surprised. Riding on his horse, he looked at the group of people who were already kneeling outside the city and asked, "Who are you?"

Even among the four hundred Hongyi cannons, there are still one hundred and fifty among Zhu Chu's accompanying army.

Zhu Chu's ambition was to take advantage of this opportunity to pacify Tibet in one fell swoop, and then continue to march northwest to regain Xinjiang.

This is to take advantage of the fact that the two groups on the battlefield in Lhasa ahead have not reacted, and to wipe out all the forces of Uszantusi except Lhasa in one fell swoop.

Zhao Kuo was also shocked by Wang Fu's bold idea. Although he guessed what Wang Fu was thinking, he didn't expect that he really thought so.

But this created an opportunity for the Ming army to take advantage of the situation.

As a result, all the way to the bottom of the city, no enemy troops were seen on top of the city, no traps were encountered, and no ambush troops were seen rushing out of the city.

A total of two hundred and sixty-five thousand.

Naisigong, who was out of prison, had to recruit all his subordinates in advance to fight against the massive invasion of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

As the new Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Black Erhuo, launched a jihad to invade Tibet, Naisigong was the first to suffer the consequences. Now Lhasa has been besieged by a so-called half-million-strong army of Black Erhuo.

From the beginning, their mission was to head west.

And how many people are left in his own unit?

Mu Sheng's 50,000 troops, Qu Neng's 50,000 troops, Cen Hua's 65,000 troops, and Mu Chu and Mu Tu's father and son's 100,000 Naxi troops.

Zhao Kuo seemed to feel something. He turned to look at Wang Fu and asked after hesitation: "Are you planning to fight to the far west in one go?"

It seems that what he said is true.

How crazy is this.

On the contrary, it was them.

Muchun, Peng Yue, Niu Sheng and others have joined forces with Li Jinglong and Hou Dagou, and launched a mighty battle to wipe out Duogan Dusi.

"By the way, the one led by that boy Mu Sheng is His Highness's headquarters," Zhao Kuo shouted.

"Old Wang, you are really secretive. Your Highness always said that Muchun and I were reckless in the past, but it turned out that you were the most reckless one." Zhao Kuo shook his head and said at the same time: "But what should I do with Your Highness?"

Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo were responsible for wiping out the entire territory of Uszangdusi except for the main battlefield in Lhasa.

Now Zhu Chu has divided his army of 300,000 into three groups and marched together.

In order to fight against the black Erhuo with all his strength, except for Lhasa, all the other cities in Uztangdusi are now empty and undefended.

Previously, Shen Rong brought back news that a complete war had broken out in Tibet.

Wang Fu frowned, reined in his horse and stopped. At the same time, he raised his hand to signal the entire army to slow down and let the messengers around him convey the message.

In other words, Zela Gang, located to the west of Mo'erkan, is the subordinate of Xia Sigong who escaped from prison.

Wang Fu looked at Zhao Kuo and sighed and said, "You finally realized it. The real elites are always by your Highness's side. And with His Highness' ability, he can defeat a million enemy troops with 200,000 soldiers and horses."

"I don't dare to hide my superiority. I am a minor official in the city. Because the local magistrate in the city led tens of thousands of troops to Lhasa under the order of the big leader Xia Sigong, who was imprisoned, so I am in charge of it." He didn't dare to lift it up, so he lay on the ground in a prostrate posture and answered Wang Fu's questions.

The black man didn't know it yet, but he was fighting life and death on the main battlefield ahead, but all he was doing was making wedding clothes for others.

Wang Fu nodded, that's what he thought, and said: "And now that we occupy all the cities here, not only can we easily gain access to them, but we can also isolate Lhasa by encircling it. We can surround the Lhasa battlefield from all directions, and we can not only fight with By outflanking the Eastern Chagatai Khanate's troops in front and back, Lhasa can also surround Lhasa in one fell swoop. If you retreat, you can defend. If the Eastern Chagatai Khanate plans to withdraw its troops, it will be difficult for Lhasa to take back these places."

They are here to conquer, not to annihilate.

Taking the Mo'erkan horizontal line as the boundary, the east and north are the areas of Duogan Dusi, while the west and north are the areas of Uzangdusi.

Wang Fu's heart moved and he had already thought of something.

Flags in ancient times were very important, and they were often used to identify the relationship between ourselves and the enemy.

So Zhao Kuo and Wang Fu captured Zelagang without any effort.

At the same time, Zhu Chu was also leading a mighty army of more than 200,000 people, heading northwest from the route between Moerkan and Zelagang.

Their target is the main battlefield in Lhasa.

As early as after entering Tibet, Zhu Zhen had already sent a large number of scouts to explore the horses.

As early as the year before and the year before that, Zhu Chun realized the importance of scouts. However, at first he did not have any special scouts under his command. Later, Jean Muchun specially trained a group of them.

Nowadays, before Zhu Ming marches for battle, he must first send out a team of spies to find out the news.

He knew the importance of intelligence and information, so Shen Rong, as a businessman, brought him news from various places whenever he went out.

Although Zhu Chu has not yet started to take action against Southeast Asian countries, many things have already been arranged secretly.

Including Yingjiang County Etao and Tengchong Gong's father and son, as agents, the current caravan conducts foreign trade.

In this process, not only can you use those goods to earn money and food, but you can also collect a lot of information along the way.

The reason why Zhu Zhen can win every battle is also related to the fact that he either relies on his ability to cheat the system, or relies on his own strong strength, or uses strategies, or is sure of it in advance.

Just like now, a team of scouts rushed back.

"Your Highness, Lhasa has been surrounded by the Eastern Chagatai Khanate army for many days. The war has completely begun. Both sides have suffered heavy casualties and the fighting is fierce," the scout reported.

It was already the end of August, and a few days had passed since Zhu Zhen entered Tibet.

Arrangements were made from the moment he got the news, and he almost entered Tibet with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Zhu Chu also deliberately delayed it for some time in order to reap the benefits.

"Nowadays, the snipe and the clam are fighting fiercely, and it is the time for the fisherman to gain. Send my military order, and the whole army will advance at full speed, rush to the battlefield, and wipe out the two armies in one fell swoop." Zhu Zhen was overjoyed immediately, and the order was passed on, and the whole army began to move at full speed. Get going.

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and lead 30,000 cavalry to open the way ahead." Qu Neng rode up to Zhu Chu and volunteered to be the vanguard.

"Okay, Qu Neng listens to the order. I will make you General Pingxi and lead my 30,000 cavalry as the vanguard," Zhu Zhen ordered on the spot.

General Pingxi and General Zhengxi are different. Ping means to pacify, and Zheng means to conquer.

Zhu Zhen already regarded Tibet as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he used the term "Pingxi" instead of "conquering the west".

Qu Neng's headquarters had 50,000 troops, but only 30,000 of them were cavalry, so he temporarily left behind the 20,000 infantry and led only 30,000 cavalry to charge, charging at the front of the team.

Once the enemy is discovered, they will engage in an encounter as soon as possible, which can not only warn the rear troops, but also allow Zhu Zhen to make arrangements calmly. Mu Qiu was also a little ready to make a move. He looked back at the 100,000 tribesmen following the team behind him and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me lead an army as well?"

Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin also looked at Zhu Ming emotionally.

Zhu Chu felt a headache. Once he spoke to Mu Qiu, he knew that the other two daughters-in-law were not willing to live in peace.

In fact, just bringing three girls with the army is deviant enough.

After all, Cen Hua inherited her father's position as chieftain officer.

But the identities of the three women are very embarrassing. In fact, they have no identity now.

He had no nominal relationship with Zhu Zhen, nor was he appointed by the court. If an ordinary person dared to do this, and dare to take his wife in the army during an expedition, he would probably be beheaded.

That's him.

So Zhu Ming said seriously: "How dare you play it? Nowadays, this war in Tibet involves millions of troops. This is even my first time to come into contact with a battle of this scale. You all follow me honestly. , don’t act rashly.”

They are not only protecting their three unparalleled beautiful wives, but also just as Zhu Ming said.

Nowadays, three forces have gathered in Tibet. His own Ming army has nearly 600,000 troops. The combined strength of Duogandusi and Uszangdusi is 3.5 million. Hei Erhuo Zhe is known as an army of 500,000.

If this was calculated literally, there would be 1.5 million people fighting here.

Moreover, there is more than one battlefield. Zhu Chu himself has divided his troops into four fronts, and may even start a war with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Uszangdusi, and Duogandusi at the same time.

Don't look at the fact that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is fighting to the death with Uzzandusi. Once Zhu Ji's new force appears on the battlefield, after waiting for the initial chaos, when Zhu Ji's troops reveal their hostility towards Uzzandusi After that, I am afraid that Uzzandusi will form a partnership with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Even Zhu Zhen didn't dare to be careless.

There are several other units.

Zhu Zhen thought to himself: "There is no need to worry about Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo. They are responsible for the western front and there will be no accidents. Not only do they bring Hongyi artillery, but I am afraid that all the forces of the Uszangdu Division have already gathered on the Lhasa battlefield."

"The key is Li Jinglong, boy. If you dare to let me down, I will skin you. Don't think about joining the army again in the future, get out of here."

"There is also Hou Dagou, although he is somewhat capable. But after all, he has become a monk halfway, and his military methods are somewhat insufficient."

"But Muchun and Peng Yue should have laid down their plans. With their minds, they should join forces with Li Jinglong and the others. As long as Mu Chun and Peng Yue are in charge, we are not afraid of accidents."

"As for Niu Sheng, don't let me take advantage of this stupid bull. I brought out all the Hongyi cannons just to prevent you guys from charging into the battle. Each one of you is my treasure. Don't die." "

Zhu Zhen muttered.

Today is different from the past. This is also the first time that Zhu Zhen has allowed his generals to take charge of their own affairs, and they are marching on several fronts at the same time.

So even he was a little worried about gains and losses.

But in fact, the other fronts went smoothly. After all, the power of the Hongyi cannon was not comparable to those of today's backward weapons. It may have exceeded the dimensionality reduction strike, but it was about the same.

Looking back on Mu Ying's use and command of firearms, they were already at the textbook level.

But when faced with Silunfa's war elephant formation, they could only take out fire blunderbuss and magical arrows.

If there had been such a powerful cannon at that time, they would have done a fucking three-stage shooting, and just fired a volley of cannons to blast the hell out of them.

"This is a necessary experience and process," Zhu Zhen thought to himself: "Once I ascend the throne and become the emperor in the future, I will never be able to have the imperial commanders from all over the world to conquer in person. I will attack Southeast Asia here, the Japanese pirate islands there, and the other side. We still have to open the gate to Eurasia, and we have to open the sea over there. Am I not going to be able to do the clone technique? Or can I cut myself into four?"

After all, manpower is sometimes scarce. Even if Zhu Zhen cheats in the system, after all, his system is not a sign-in system, and he cannot get hundreds of thousands of troops or generals from other eras for nothing.

If the generals and counselors from the Three Kingdoms era were brought together as a team, it would not only shock China, but also the whole world.

So Zhu Ming was helpless. He had even trained Li Jinglong, so he took this opportunity to give Li Jinglong a chance to lead an army on his own.

In the future, as the territory of Ming Dynasty becomes larger and larger, and more and more territories are to be opened up, he will need too many people, not only the number of troops, but also trustworthy and capable generals, including those who govern the local area. Officials, blah blah blah.

I have a headache.

"So, brothers, sisters and sisters, you must not hold back me, Lao Shiba. We regard you vassal kings as weapons of the country. After all, we are brothers," Zhu Zhen secretly started to fight the vassal king. idea.

There are dozens of brothers and sisters in his family, and there are more than 20 brothers alone, so why not use them?

When other people's children go out to fight, whoever has more brothers always has the advantage.

Zhu Ming had no reason to give up his own advantages. His father had given him so many helpers, so how could he cut off his own arms?

So, Yunwen, you really can’t control it.

Are your uncles really a threat to you? Why don’t you know how to transfer contradictions and conflicts?

Because he was still in the process of marching at this time, Zhu Min took off and thought about some things he had and didn't have.

Otherwise, you can't live with your wife in the army, right? are you crazy?

Besides, he didn't bring a carriage.

The army continued to advance all the way, and just a few days later, the time came to September of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.

Pingxi General Qu Neng, who was the vanguard, finally encountered the enemy first.

It's not a large enemy force, just a scouting force from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

It turned out that Hei Erhuo was worried about reinforcements coming from the direction of Duogan Dusi, so he sent a small group of scouts to explore in this direction. In addition to this group, there were many more in the north.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Qu Neng were all cavalry. As soon as the two sides encountered each other, they immediately led the army to pursue them.

"No one can be let go," Qu Neng shouted, knowing full well that once the Ming army's whereabouts deep into Tibet were exposed, they would probably be alerted, which would have a huge impact on the direction of the entire battle.

If the black man runs away without a fight, should we pursue him or not?

His Highness still wants to attack Lhasa. If he pursues them, if Lhasa chases him from behind or cuts off his supplies and retreat, it will be over.

Not chasing? It will be very difficult to let the black Erhuo people calmly retreat to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and try to make progress again.

However, there were too many scouts from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and they were also cavalry.

One of them was surrounded and suppressed by Qu Neng, but another one escaped from the warehouse.

Qu Neng had a gloomy face and sighed: "I have no choice but to go back and apologize to His Highness."

So Qu Neng led the leading cavalry back to the army and reported the matter to Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen did not blame Qu Neng. After all, it was not Qu Neng's fault. He could only say that the black man was quite capable.

After all, the black Erhuo came to power during the political turmoil in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. If he didn't have some skills, he would either be killed or become a puppet.

However, from the fact that he did not hesitate to surrender his status to marry his daughter to Timur and reach an alliance with the Timur Empire, it is enough to see that the black Erhuo Zhe is also a tyrant.

Zhu Zhen nodded and said: "I already know this. This place is only thirty miles away from Lhasa. Send an order to the entire army to advance at full speed."

This means marching in a hurry, heading straight to the battlefield at sprint speed.

Just as Qu Neng was worried, Zhu Zhen certainly didn't want Hei Erhuo to escape unscathed, and had to keep him here.

Is jihad so easy to fight?

Since you want to launch a jihad, then pay the price for it. Aren’t you going to convey your so-called faith to your god or Allah? Then I will send you to your Allah.

You see, how good I am to you.

So, Zhu Min led the whole army and rushed out at the lead.

Even Qu Neng, the pioneer general, was left behind.

Mu Qiu, Xu Miaojin, and Tang Xin, not to be outdone, followed Zhu Ming.

Qu Neng was dumbfounded. Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and you are also the prince.

"Brother Qu Neng, charge, or all the enemies will be killed by His Highness," Mu Sheng shouted, and led 50,000 Zhu Chu's troops from Dali to immediately pursue him.

Qu Neng smiled bitterly and said, "Who is the pioneer?"
