Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Five thousand soldiers were carefully selected, and all the steel guns of the army were gathered together. They brought enough paper bombs and explosive packs, as well as dry food for seven days, and handed them to Zhang Huangyan.

Li Yan gave instructions: "Two hundred miles north from here is Longmen Mountain. Longmen Mountain has high mountains and dense forests, and is inaccessible. At Longmen Mountain, blow up the embankment to cross the river, and then sneak in the mountains to avoid the rogue defenders along the way. Remember. , This trip must be completed within six days, that is, on the eighth day of March six days later, we will once again launch a desperate attack on the rogue bandits on the opposite side, attracting the enemies in front of you, and giving you the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from behind. "

Zhang Huangyan replied cautiously: "The general will definitely fulfill his mission."

Lu Mou warned: "Once the whereabouts fail, you must retreat completely. I don't want to and cannot lose a future commander-in-chief of the armed forces."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will never withdraw my troops if I don't achieve my goal."

The whole army was resting, and Lu Mou had a rare free time. He spent the whole day discussing with Li Yan and Shaanxi Chief Minister Hong Xueqin, who was about to take up his duties, the plan for the army to cross the river and enter Shaanxi.

Unknowingly, it had been three days. While talking, Lu Mou always felt that something was wrong, and his eyelids were twitching more and more. There was nothing left in my heart, as if I had lost something.

What was lost?

Dinner was served, and this time Lu Mou began to count the people dining together. After counting, he suddenly realized that his little tail was annoying his little brother.

"Little Plum."

"The servant is here."

"Where is King Yong? Why didn't King Yong come to dinner?"

"Replying to the prince, King Yong said that he went to the rear to supervise the grain supply, but he has not come back for four days."

Lu Mou's white-haired sweat was frightened at that time: "Where is he going to supervise food?"

"Yongping."

Lu Mou was sweating profusely: "Who are you going with?"

"King Yong said that General Zhang was about to go on an expedition. It would be safer for him to follow the army along the way."

Lu Mou was so scared that he grabbed Xiao Lizi's collar: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xiao Lizi was shocked and replied tremblingly: "It's King Yong who said not to make a fuss and influence the prince's thinking. He didn't let the slave tell you, and said he would be back in three to five days."

Lu Mou turned around and wailed sadly: "I have a biological mother. It doesn't matter if I lose my vassal, but I personally lost my younger brother. He is the old son and eldest grandson of a cheap father, and he is Concubine Tian's only one." It’s my lifeblood.”

Now everyone got a taste of it.

Lu Mou yelled hysterically at Xiao Lizi: "If King Yong has three strengths and two weaknesses, I will kill all nine of your clans. No, I will even dig up your ancestral graves."

Then he faced Li Yan and yelled with red eyes: "It's all your fault. Now it's okay, you killed a prince, you are dead."

Li Yan's face turned pale, and for the only time he told his wife with trembling lips: "Excuse me, Madam, to cross the river in person to find Zhang Huangyan and protect King Yong."

Lu Mou immediately stopped him: "It's useless. Now, we must launch an attack on Hejin so that Gao Yigong and Yuan Zongdi cannot be distracted. We immediately sent a team to launch a desperate attack on Yumendu in Longmen Mountain. Let the rogue garrison at Yumendu not doubt that he is there."

Li Yan nodded: "Now, we can only start here first, the harder the better."

Zhu Changxun also knew that something was wrong, so he quickly stepped forward and asked for help: "The Yumen Crossing is narrow and the army cannot move. The last general will personally lead a division and set off now." Then he ran away without waiting for Lu Mou's agreement.

Lu Mou gave an order loudly: "The entire army should stop resting and reorganizing, attack, attack, attack regardless of day or night -"

Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yigong were also eating. They ate comfortably and relaxedly, and even had a drink.

Gao Yigong took a sip of wine and said: "It's March now. According to normal years, this section of the Yellow River thaws around March 15th every year. The enemy suddenly stopped attacking again. It seems that we have delayed the time to the Yellow River." Thawing is no longer a problem.”

Yuan Zongdi said: "The Ming army suddenly stopped attacking, which shows that they suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted from long battles. They need to replenish their troops and rest. This is really good."

Gao Yigong put down his wine glass: "The enemy suffered heavy losses, so why didn't we? Not to mention fighting for the gap, but the Ming army's fast-fire blocking, which cost us no less than ten thousand people. Now, the soldiers are afraid to take the lead. That kind of grenade will do more damage to us."

"And our gunners suffered the greatest losses, and the consumption of the elm spray was almost exhausted. But fortunately, God was kind and allowed us to delay until we were about to be civilized."

"As long as we delay for another year, King Chuang will not be attacked by this Ming army in the south, and King Chuang will be able to gain a foothold in Jiangnan. At that time, King Chuang will be free to join Liu Fangliang and Li Guo to counterattack the capital of Zhili. Let's start again When you leave Shanxi, you will have the Ming Dynasty at your fingertips.”

Facing Gao Yigong's optimism, Yuan Zongdi could only sigh in his heart.

Gao Yigong didn't know the inside story. But Yuan Zongdi knew best that the trap that Xiao Ding Wang had set for Chuang Wang had already worked. Not only did he borrow the help of King Chuang to eliminate a large number of princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty, as well as most of the landowners, gentry and powerful people, but he also corroded the fighting will of the Chuang army.

Now King Chuang has taken two concubines in the south, and the generals have also taken wives and concubines, and have bought properties and settled down in the south. I feel so happy that I don’t miss Shu anymore.

Even though he was humble and low-key in his work, Tian Jianxiu, the second person in charge of the actual invasion of the army, the general manager of the fifth battalion, had the idea of ​​​​drawing the river to rule. Liu Zongmin even included five women, lying in the gentle countryside, their bones and muscles were worn away.

Of course, even King Chuang has the intention of the Northern Expedition, but he will never let King Chuang launch the Northern Expedition without completely cleaning up the remaining Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian for that brat. Just the reservists he sent out and those nails entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River made King Chuang afraid of peace of mind for the Northern Expedition.

In order to stop King Chuang from pursuing the Northern Expedition, that kid will definitely go all out to conquer Shaanxi and stop King Chuang from wanting to do the Northern Expedition.

To defend Shaanxi, in front of the now powerful Ming army and with firm determination, how can it be easy to talk nonsense?
But this is the secret between myself and that kid, and of course, there is also Li Yan. If he told it, King Chuang, who thought he was insulted as a fool, would come all the way back with a knife and kill him with his own hands.

While they were talking, the Yellow River defense line suddenly erupted with gunfire and killing sounds, and the dull sound of grenade explosions was so dense that they were indistinguishable.

Gao Yigong Yuan Zongdi couldn't help being shocked. What shocked them even more was that it was already dark, so why did the Ming army suddenly launch an attack?
Throwing down the bowls and chopsticks, he hurried out of the big tent and climbed up to take a look.

The front line of the river defense was illuminated by artillery fire and explosions like daylight. Standing here, you can feel the heat of the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.

In the bursts of fire, countless Ming troops shouted and charged like a tide. Just after one group was repelled, another group came up. Group after group went forward, group after group were brave and fearless of death.

This is not fatigue from a long battle, this is a desperate attack.

The battle lasted all night, and at dawn, the Ming army still did not stop attacking.

This situation immediately aroused Yuan Zongdi's suspicion.

Something big must have happened to the Ming army or here.

"Catch a few prisoners and bring them here for interrogation." Yuan Zongdi ordered the Chinese army.

After a while, several injured Ming soldiers were escorted over.

Yuan Zongdi did not ask what the purpose of the attack was, but just asked what major events had happened within the Ming army recently. After some severe torture, a Ming soldier finally couldn't stand it anymore and confessed.

"Our King Yong went to Yongcheng four days ago to supervise the grain supply. I heard yesterday that King Yong was missing."

Gao Yigong is confused. Your Prince Yong is missing and you don't look for it. Why are you taking your anger out on me? Are you still being unreasonable? (End of chapter)
