Chapter 491 Chapter 0: I will personally lead the troops in this battle
The frontline is the frontline after all. Although Zhu Jinghong intended to entertain, it was not even a bit inferior to the extravagant banquet in the pass.
Of course, no one dared to cause trouble for Zhu Jinghong behind his back, even if it was porridge.
The guests and hosts had a great time, and after the banquet ended, Zhu Jinghong returned to his sleeping tent.
He did not live alone in his sleeping tent. For example, Nuo Min came out of it at this time.
"Thirteenth Master, you are finally back. I have something to tell you."
After welcoming Zhu Jinghong into the tent, Nuo Min handed him tea. .
"Thirteenth Master, I"
Nuo Min hesitated to speak. Seeing her look like this, Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "It's about your father."
"Yes"
After answering, Nuo Min changed Zhu Jinghong's clothes and said, "The Thirteenth Master is strict in managing the army. It is my father's fault that he did not satisfy you."
"But I know that in recent days, my father has been strictly reorganizing the army and has not slacked off at all."
Nuo Min rambled, but Zhu Jinghong didn't listen carefully, he was just enjoying the moment. wide awake.
"Thirteenth Master"
"Yeah"
"Are you listening?"
"Yes"
< p>"I hope Thirteenth Master will be more lenient to my father. Our Mubu League is loyal and diligent to the court and the Holy One."Seeing that Nuo Min was getting more and more enthusiastic, Zhu Jinghong finally couldn't help but speak. "Okay, I understand what you mean. I don't mean to blame your father."
"It's for his own good to say a few words to him. If you don't strictly control your subordinates, they will be hijacked and killed." How many people are going to die?"
After confirming that Zhu Jinghong was not really angry, Nuo Min quickly replied, "The Thirteenth Master taught me a lesson, but I don't know the depth."
"But I know your "Depth" Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly and picked up Nuo Min.
"Thirteenth Master, I want it again tonight"
While his hands were busy, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Why not?"
Just when he put Nuo Min When he was put on the bed and was about to have a fight, the eunuch's complaint came from outside.
"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Princess of Beijing."
Of course Zhu Jinghong had to read Baochai's letter, so he let go of Nuo Min, causing the latter to look at her with resentment.
Arrived outside the camp, Zhu Jinghong took the letter from the eunuch, then tore open the seal and took out the letter.
Although it was known from the secret message that it was a secret letter, the beginning of the letter shocked him and made him choose to read the letter on the clear side first.
"You, surnamed Zhu, are powerful. You lead the charge on the battlefield. No one in the world knows your reputation. However, soldiers on the battlefield have no eyesight. If there is anything wrong with you, we should be blamed."
Believe it or not The meaning was very straightforward. To put it simply, Zhu Jinghong was given a lecture. However, Baochai's words were so reasonable and well-founded that he could not argue at all.
After ridicule, Zhu Jinghong started to decipher the content of the letter according to the set rules, and then he stopped laughing.
"Princess Rui joins forces with Jingting to seize the throne of the princess"
Seeing this, Zhu Jinghong's eyes were filled with coldness. He felt that he was low-key enough, but unexpectedly, Lao Liu, an old yin , still unwilling to let him go.
He has never thought that now he has strong soldiers and horses, a very prosperous holy family, and he is also the emperor's legitimate son. These three points add up to how awesome he is.
In a sense, Lao Liu is the weak side, and now he is forced to launch a self-defense counterattack.
So Zhu Jinghong immediately wrote a reply, but he only wrote one page, which was clearly his defense of his behavior.
But according to the secret language, there are only four words: "You can decide for yourself".
He believed that Baochai's command could handle this matter, so he fully authorized her to act on her own.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, if you don't deal with you bastard when I return to Beijing, I will take your last name."
It is the third day of September in the twelfth year of Orthodoxy.
In the northwest wilderness, the cold wind became more and more biting. The soldiers marched staring at the strong wind, and their skin was cracked every one of them.
Even as the young master of Junggar and a general with tens of thousands of troops on the front line, No. 0 is no better than an ordinary soldier.
Zi Zero has turned thirty this year. He has been in the army since he was twelve years old, so he can definitely be regarded as an old soldier.
He has participated in commanding many battles over the years, and has won and failed in both big and small battles. This has also developed his cunning personality, and he has been nicknamed the "Wolf of the Northwest" by his subjects.
So, No. 0 has always been very confident in marching combat.
This time when the war started with Mingting, his father made him the frontline commander. This was also the first time he commanded so many troops.
At first, No. 0 was nervous. After all, he was facing a behemoth like Ming Ting, but after repeated battles with Ning Huanxiang, his self-confidence was "cultivated" again.
In the end, through intelligence analysis, he directly killed Ning Huanxiang himself, which made him overjoyed and evolved from confidence to arrogance.
Everything is developing for the better, but what happened one after another after Ning Huanxiang's death made Di Ling feel that he might be a fool.
There was no way, who allowed him to be led by the nose and beaten all the way by the fledgling Zhu Jinghong, turning the pursuit and annihilation battle into a battle of annihilation.
When the news came back to Ili, his father, the Great Khan of Junggar, sent an envoy to scold him.
Although he was injured, No. 0 was still strong. After regaining his military morale, he formulated a new round of combat plans.
"Young Master, although the Ming army was aware of it, they did not get too close. It seems that the frequent mobilization of our army in the previous period has confused him," said a member of Wanhu.
Like Darza, this person is also the leader of a powerful cavalry.
"Not necessarily. Who knows what the kid from the Zhu family has planned?"Zero shook his head.
"The two plans rely on each other. If they are strictly guarded against food and grass, they will turn around and attack the Jurchen tribes, and take advantage of the advantage to annihilate all the Jurchen tribes in one go," Di Ling said in a deep voice.
"Young Master, when shall we take action?" Wan Hu asked.
When to take action? In fact, every moment at the moment can be taken action from the perspective of Zero.
The reason why they are still confronting the Ming army is because Zero has not yet made up his mind. He was really cast into the shadow before.
Being asked now, Di Ling knew that it was time to make a decision. Otherwise, when Zhu Jinghong pacified the Tuxietu Khanate and the logistics supplies were unimpeded, Junggar would be in big trouble.
Starting from a higher level, they have been defeated again and again recently, which has greatly affected the morale of Zhasak and other countries. Junggar urgently needs a big victory to boost the confidence of its allies.
Otherwise, when the Zhasak Three Kingdoms are defeated, Junggar will be in danger.
Perhaps we can ask the Rakshasa Kingdom to intervene. Ling Ling came up with this idea.
But this is what his father should worry about. His only task now is to win the next battle.
"At sunset today"
This time was chosen very carefully, in order to have a surprise effect, at least the ten thousand households who asked questions were surprised.
"In this battle, I will personally lead the troops and boost morale," Zero said with a serious expression.
The sun was setting in the west, and the various departments of the Ming army were still on their way. Everything was no different from before.
Of course, this is only on the surface. From the bodyguards to the various armies, it is already a tight situation on the outside and tight on the inside.
On the evening of the first day of September, Zhu Jinghong decided that the Junggar people would take action. Two full days have passed.
The troops in Junggar are still mobilized frequently, and normal harassment continues, but there is no sign of a major war.
This increasingly abnormal situation made Zhu Jinghong firm in his judgment and believed that the Junggar people were playing a trick.
On the hillside, looking at the soldiers preparing to camp below, Zhu Jinghong murmured in a low voice, "The Junggar people will definitely take action, they will definitely do it"
"They will definitely do it"
p>
Zhu Jinghong said this not only for his staff, but also for himself.
At this moment, news is still coming to him, but it is all processed and analyzed by his staff.
Eight of his staff set up a table nearby, some conducted analysis and discussions, and some changed the annotations on the map.
Although their map is large, it only shows a radius of a hundred miles, so its markings are very detailed.
Such a map needs to be changed every two days to match the current topography.
"Agula ten thousand households moved ten miles south," Feng Ziying said with a frown.
At this time, someone corrected me, "I was wrong. He moved thirty miles north today."
Feng Ziying replied, "Yes, but he moved forty miles north in the past few days." Left and right, march with meThe distance is roughly the same, but today they are ten miles closer to the north."
At this time, someone realized the problem and immediately said, "So he is ten miles closer to the west wing of our army."
Someone else said, "They have been mobilized frequently in the past few days, and they have been looking for our loopholes. This kind of thing happened in the past two days." "It's the zeroth direct jurisdiction"
What this meant was well understood by several people present, so they quickly reached an agreement and reported the situation to Zhu Jinghong.
"You mean they will take action tomorrow?" Zhu Jinghong asked.
"Exactly," Feng Ziying replied.
Looking at the sky, Zhu Jinghong said, "In my opinion. They will go back to their original ways and choose to take action today."
Zhu Jinghong's guess was bolder than that of several staff officers, but after a little thought, the young people present felt that this was very possible. .
"Immediately issue an order to tighten internal tension and loosen external forces to prevent the enemy from hijacking the camp"
"Yes"
Before arriving at the map, Zhu Jinghong Asked, "Where do you think they will attack?"
The Junggar side is full of cavalry, so they have the strategic initiative and can choose how and when to attack.
Zhu Jinghong's question. Normally there are two options, either the Qinghai Xingdusi tribes that are close by, or the Jurchen tribes that are a little further away.
But Zhu Jinghong still believes that this group of people may want to attack Liangcao. Once it is obtained, the morale of all the troops in the imperial court will be shattered.
"The two guards in the Beijing camp issued an order, telling them to be on strict guard"
"Yes"
"I'll give an order to the Zhenwei Central Guards and ask Shi Chong's troops to go back to the south of the Tibetan tribes to be ready to support the two guards of the Beijing camp at any time."
"Yes"
At this time Feng Ziying asked, "Thirteenth Master, since you want support, why not let all the Zhenwei Central Guards pass?"
"We have scouts. Could it be that the Dzungars didn't mobilize a large number of troops and might be discovered? Then they wouldn't come." ”
At this time, everyone realized that this man was not fighting a defensive war, but a war of annihilation against Dzunggar.
Military orders have their own messengers to convey them, and Zhu Jinghong After pacing back and forth, he pointed to the southwest of Xiaowu Zuowei and Yulin Youwei, where there was a blank space for defense.
"Instruct Xiaowu Zuowei and Yulin Youwei to mobilize twenty gates each. Artillery, each with ten rounds of explosive shells, march five miles southwest to set up an ambush. If the enemy attacks, bring them through and then fire the artillery attack from the rear. After the ten cannons are fired, they can abandon the artillery and retreat."
If the enemy wants to attack grain and grass, they have to go through the gap between Qinghai Xingdusi and the Jurchen tribes. Zhu Jinghong ordered people to set up an ambush here.
Forty artillery pieces with a total of 400 explosive shells. , in addition to killing a wave of Junggar cavalry, it will also greatly shake their morale. In this way, the pressure on the two guards of the Beijing camp will be much less.
"Yes"
"Continue to be close.Pay attention to the enemy's movements."
After giving these instructions, Zhu Jinghong walked aside and looked to the northwest. The Junggar army was more than thirty miles away.
At most The sun had set for more than half an hour, and Zhu Jinghong was still thinking about whether they would take action.
Everything just happened was just speculation, and no one knew what would happen next.
He. We can only rely on the latest intelligence to decide on the next move of the army.
In fact, just as Zhu Jinghong's first message was delivered, three elites from Junggar launched a surprise attack, targeting the gap between Qinghai Xingdu Division and Jurchen tribes. .
The gap between the two fronts can be said to be undefended, so it is easy for the Junggar side to break in.
In order to prevent the two fronts from pursuing, other Junggar cavalry also entered the battle. , restraining the Qinghai Xingdu Division and the Jurchen tribes from the front.
The Jungar Young Master No. 0 is among the ten thousand households in Agula, and he is rushing to the front.
So far, everything has been going smoothly. They easily broke into the "hinterland" of the Ming army. The Ming army's food and grass were more than ten miles ahead.
The cavalry attack was also over. It's just a matter of ten minutes.
They will not fight with the two guards of the Beijing camp, but mainly to burn the food and grass. The most difficult step to complete the plan has been passed.
The cavalry galloped all the way. At this time, they had already tried to save their horsepower. What they wanted was to be fast.
More than 10,000 cavalry galloped and quickly passed a small hill. The two guards of the Beijing camp were in front. Five miles away.
As Zero and his men continued to gallop forward, they did not notice that the artillerymen lying in ambush on the hill behind them took off their camouflage and began to prepare for firing
"The commander is so good at predicting things, it's time for all brothers to make contributions"
"Fire the cannon"
The cannon has a maximum range of more than two miles, but its accuracy is basically lost. .
But with the density of the cavalry in front, it is no longer important whether the cannons are accurate or not.
After firing a cannon, these pro-army troops were stunned. The soldiers immediately began to reload and fired the second shot as quickly as possible.
Because they used explosive ammunition and the cavalry was everywhere in the front, they could kill dozens of people with each salvo. < /p>
For tens of thousands of troops, the death of dozens or hundreds of people is actually nothing, but the roar of artillery from behind cast a shadow over the entire battle.
There is no doubt that the vigor of the Junggar cavalry was affected by the sound of the artillery fire.
It was impossible for the galloping army to stop at this time, so No. 0 did not order a counterattack.
< p>But a Qianhu at the back of his team risked disobeying the military order and ordered his subordinates to turn around and fight back.Although the order was issued, turning around was very troublesome for the artillery.
They fired continuously.Secondly, seeing someone chasing them from the front, the two artillerymen mounted their horses and ran away, while the artillery was abandoned.
Seven volleys of fire killed nearly 300 people and played a very important role.
When the Dzungar cavalry felt it, only dozens of artillery pieces were left in place. It was unrealistic to take away these iron lumps, and it was also very troublesome to destroy them.
I was so angry that the Qianhu soldiers led by Junggar cursed loudly. In the end, they could only turn their horses around and catch up with the large group of people. Please remember to collect it.
