I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 271 Foreplay

Mao Yuanyi's thinking coincided with that of the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian.

The first rule was to let the tiger go back to the mountain.

At the same time, he also added two things: First, find a way to let the Jiannu cavalry break through one or two castles, and prepare more food, grass and weapons for the Jiannu cavalry while avoiding a large number of casualties;
Second, after a "hard battle", the Ming army retreated to Kuwu Island through the Youjian Bridge.

If necessary, it can even "collapse" to go deeper into Kuwu Island.

Then, close the door and beat the dog.

……

After receiving two secret orders in a row, Cao Wenzhao understood immediately, slapped the root of his thigh fiercely, and secretly praised: "Tsk tsk, after all, it is the emperor, after all, the Great Ming God of War!"

He didn't have much contact with Mao Yuanyi, and he had only heard of his reputation for a long time, but he was fascinated by Mao Yuanyi's amazing performance in the first battle at Xifengkou, and he admired this great war god of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian, he respects and loves him, and at the same time, he also has an inexplicable fear.

He boasts that he has read countless people, has read military books, and has dabbled in "heretics" such as astronomy, calendar, linen physiognomy, etc. He thinks that he can basically see other people's bones and internal organs at a glance.

But he still couldn't see through this idiot emperor.

"Come here, pass on the order of the Marquis: All the leaders and patriarchs of the savage tribes are ordered to send food, animal skins, medicinal materials, etc. within seven days to help our army defend the city;

At the same time, let him lead a number of tribal warriors to Kuwu Island, and fight against powerful enemies with our Daming Iron Army! "

"Branch of the Hou Order: order Zhang Wei and Li Sen to rush back to help, and escort the people of Youjian No. 3 City, Youjian No. 4 City, and Youjian No. 7 City to retreat to Kuwu Island.

Let them only be allowed to lose, but not allowed to win. If the Jiannu cavalry are suspicious and retreat, let the two of them come to see each other! "

In addition, there were a series of orders and deployments, and Cao Wenzhao arranged them one by one, so he was relieved.

"Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang..."

"Bah, bah, only me, Cao Wenzhao, is a cobbler, hahaha."

Cao Wenzhao thought it over again and felt that there were no obvious omissions, so he wrote a copy of all the pre-war deployments and sent them to the idiot emperor in the form of a "telegram"...

……

Near the old river mouth, in a hidden canyon.

Qin Liangyu led his son Ma Xianglin and daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi to follow the shepherd Shen Bulan to a peak to survey the terrain in advance.

"That direction is Suolongguan, which is the largest escape route for the Jiannu cavalry. The canyon is about 25 miles long, and the narrowest part has been blown down by the Daming Engineering Bureau, making it impossible for soldiers and horses to pass through."

"However, there is also a secret path that the herbalists walk through, which can lead directly to the depths of Luding Mountain."

"Crossing the Luding Mountain is the territory of Tsarist Russia. There are thousands of miles of snowfields and sparsely populated areas. If they are allowed to escape into the vast snowfields, it will become a serious problem."

"Therefore, your mission, General Qin, is to send troops to garrison here and kill all enemies."

Qin Liangyu nodded heavily when he heard the words, and said calmly: "Never disgrace the mission!"

Immediately, she sent an order to her son Ma Xianglin to lead five hundred elite soldiers to guard the Suolongguan Grand Canyon.

Five hundred pieces of new firearms, one thousand pilizi landmines, and two numbered machine guns should be able to withstand the full charge of 3000 people.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Liangyu, Shen Bulan and others went to several other canyons, river valleys, and herbal-gathering secret paths, and deployed troops to guard them before returning to the central army camp.

"Hero Shen, tell me the truth now, that young man with red feet...what the hell is it?"

After taking his seat, Qin Liangyu asked eagerly without taking a sip of water.

Shen Bulan shook his head with a smile, and said: "After this battle is over, when you return to the capital, Master Zhujiao will tell you his identity."

Qin Liangyu sighed, and said: "When I first met Mr. Zhu Jiao, I thought he was flamboyant, glib, and he was a dandy in the capital. At that time, my general almost beat him up;
Clinker, after this acquaintance, I discovered that Mr. Zhujiao is not only rich in financial resources, but also meticulous in thinking, and even some veterans in the battlefield may be ashamed of themselves. "

Between the words, the admiration is beyond words.

This scene made Shen Bulan nod secretly, it seems that "Young Master" has a really good look, and veterans in the battlefield who are as affectionate and righteous as Qin Liangyu are indeed rare.

The only thing that worried him was the idiot emperor's virtue...

The problem of being unable to move away when you see a beautiful woman is simply too good, this can show the glory of our Ming Dynasty!
"General Qin, it is only one of the missions to guard the retreating route of the Jiannu cavalry. In addition, Mr. Zhujiao has repeatedly warned that those savage tribes are unwilling to be lonely and refuse to submit to Ming's rule;

Therefore, the young master concluded that in this war, those savage tribes are a big variable. If they don't play well, they may miss the target, leaving a huge hidden danger with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.

If this is the case, there may be many slave cavalry in his lifetime.

If you kill Huang Taiji, you will give birth to Li Taiji, Wang Taiji, Zhang Taiji, Zhao Taiji..."

Qin Liangyu nodded in agreement, and said: "Your son is really far-sighted. After I arrived here, I discovered that this piece of black land covered by ice and snow is too important to the Ming Dynasty. Once this piece of land is lost, the entire Ming Dynasty will be destroyed." North Korea will lose its barriers and containment.

Donghai Jurchens are actually harder to tame than Jiannu..."

Shen Bulan smiled and said: "That's why, the young master wants to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Qin Liangyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and soon an unconcealable exclamation appeared on his cold face: "Your son, he is simply not human!"

Shen Bulan: "..."

You are his sister-in-law, whatever you say, I guess my 'Master' won't be angry, right?
"By the way, there is one more thing that you, General Qin, must understand." Shen Bulan suddenly remembered something, and said seriously: "The sixteen-character tactic of mountain guerrilla warfare, my son, I want you to engrave it in your heart. You must learn it and use it flexibly. This is one of them." ;

Second, the young master has another sentence for me to convey to General Qin.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

Sometimes, when you have no way to retreat and no way to avoid it, when you encounter a life-long enemy, you must have the courage to draw your sword to face the enemy when you know that you can't beat him..."

Qin Liangyu said: "Don't worry about this. I, Sichuan and Chongqing white soldiers lack everything. The only thing I don't lack is courage."

Shen Bulan shook his head and said with a smile: "General Qin, my young master hasn't finished talking yet."

Qin Liangyu snorted and shut up.

"Drawing a sword and fighting until death is the first quality of a general. Presumably, General Qin and your three thousand white-armed soldiers will never be short. My son sent a message specially, so I must tell General Qin:

Whether he wins or loses, he wants his sister-in-law to get out of the way.

The son-in-law said that in this world, dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, and sister-in-law is not as good-looking. He wants you to live to see him. "

Qin Liangyu: "..."

These words are very...

"Okay, General Qin, I have to go, take my leave!" Shen Bulan watched Qin Liangyu's face change slightly, and the two beautiful ones raised each other, clearly wanting to get angry, so she hurriedly got up, "I almost forgot a big thing .”

"What's the matter?"

"You are in charge of guarding the secret passage. If there are soldiers and horses from the savage tribe who want to enter Laohekou, they can let it go. However, they are only allowed to enter and not allowed to go out. Once they get into the right and wrong nest of Laohekou, they have to pay. A heavy price!"

"Okay, only in, not out."

"Farewell!"

Shen Bulan walked out of the big tent quickly, her figure flickered a few times, and then disappeared into the vast mountains.

Qin Liangyu walked out of the big tent, looked at a faint trace on the snow, felt lost, looked up to the sky, and took a deep breath.

A muffled sound.

With a swing of the sword, a small tree as thick as an arm was cut down, and a puff of snow and mist rose up, blowing onto his face by the wind, and he felt very cool.

"This young man with red feet is simply... simply disgusting!"

"Hate!"

Qin Liangyu thought of Zhu Youjian's handsome face for no reason, as well as his lazy, idle, indifferent expression, it was a big disaster!

Her heart is a little empty.

Empty, as if missing something...

……

The old man Chen Xingzhi nested in the cement concrete bunker, ate and slept, slept and ate, occasionally went out to pee, and wandered around the base of the city wall for a while.

Recently, the south wind has been blowing, and in the cold, there is a slight irritability mixed with it.

"It looks like it's going to snow in two days."

Walking into the bunker, Chen Xingzhi rubbed his wrinkled old face vigorously, and sat down in front of his son: "Son, how many shots have you fired?"

Son: "Three shots."

Chen Xingzhi: "Are you still afraid now?"

Son: "It's still a little bit, but my hands are a little itchy."

Chen Xingzhi: "Then put it on a stone and grind it."

Son: "OK."

As expected, the son was very obedient. He pressed his sweaty palms against the concrete wall and rubbed them vigorously a few times. His teeth grinned in pain, making the corners of Chen Xingzhi's mouth twitch.

This silly son.

What a good boy...

"Son, before you shoot, you have to take a few deep breaths to calm your mind. There is nothing in your mind, and you can't hear anything in your ears. Then, aim again." Chen Xingzhi lifted the firecracker in his son's hand, and started Teach him how to shoot.

"This kind of firecracker can't kill people at a distance of thirty paces, but the sound is quite intimidating, so it's not bad."

The son continued to grind his hands on the wall, and said depressedly, "Isn't that a waste of gunpowder and iron sand?"

Chen Xingzhi shook his head and scolded: "As long as you have the courage to fire a gun, it is not a waste of gunpowder and iron sand. When your son is facing each other and hits the face of the slave cavalry, you will know what a waste is."

The son didn't care.

He is a farmer, not a Ming soldier, even if the sky falls, wouldn't there be a big man to support him...

……

Chen Xingzhi lamented his misfortune, angered him for not fighting, stretched out his hand and slapped his son to eat shit.

"If you don't kill a few Jian slaves, don't call me dad again."

"If the city breaks down, I won't care about you, you bastard!"

Lonely, the old man Chen Xingzhi carried his musket, returned to the shooting port he defended, sat down on his buttocks, looked at a small area outside boredly, untied the wine gourd on his waist, and wanted to have a drink.

The weather is so cold.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he naturally clenched the musket tightly.

A black shadow flashed and disappeared like a ghost.

Take a deep breath.

He exhaled slowly.

With the index finger of his right hand, he subconsciously squeezed the trigger, half-closed one eye, and through the shooting hole, the open space that he could see was instantly shortened countless times.

On the snow, a shallow footprint appeared.

Then, a big foot wrapped in moccasin boots tentatively took a step forward, followed by calves, knees, thighs...

Bang!
There was a crisp gunshot.

A cloud of blood appeared in front of Chen Xingzhi's eyes, and the half of his face that had just been revealed was blurred. A man in white sheepskin fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"All fight!"

All of a sudden, the Ming army who defended the city exploded. Many people didn't even look at it. They poked the muzzle out of the shooting port and pulled the trigger directly.

The Ming veteran who was in charge of the surveillance gave a jolt and woke up, but fell asleep with his eyes pressed against the perspective mirror...

Bang bang bang!
clap clap clap!
The mixed gunshots, as well as the panicked response, showed the chaos and disorder of the Ming army defending the city.

It seems that the previous judgment was wrong.

This seemingly impregnable tortoise shell is not indestructible, the number of soldiers defending the city is too small, it is flawed!
This scene, in the eyes of Jiala Ezhen, who was supervising the battle in the distance, was like the sound of nature.

"Listen carefully, do you find anything?"

Lord Jialaerzhen, who was in charge of the siege battle, squinted his eyes half-closed, looking at Yujian No. 3 City under the sunset and dusk, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The gunshots are mixed, and the number of the latest muskets does not exceed twenty. ;

For the rest, there are single-shot rifles, which are regarded as the best weapons in the hands of the Ming army;

There are also some gunshots, which are like burning sticks, what kind of bird guns, fire guns, and even some people are using small crossbows..."

Master Jiala Erzhen turned his head and said to Niulu Erzhen under his command: "When we attacked the city on the first day, we were frightened by two rounds of volleys, and we were weakened first in terms of momentum.

This is my fault.

Now that I think about it carefully, how can a mere hundred serious Ming army musketeers, plus one or two thousand farmers, withstand the charge of two thousand cavalry? "

Master Jiala Ezhen shook his head and smiled wryly, and began to order: "Pass the order, tonight, break this city!"

Niu Luerzhen took orders one after another, and went away flattering the horse.

Master Jiala Ezhen sighed secretly, feeling inexplicably irritated in his heart.

He said it lightly, but in fact, there were some truths that he didn't dare to say. To capture such a small city, the price to be paid would be extremely heavy, and it was very likely that nearly a thousand troops would be lost.

However, the city must be attacked.

Because the army has run out of food and grass.

The Daming Engineering Bureau blew up all the escape routes, and even some of the passages into the mountain were piled up with rubble, giant logs, etc., making it impossible to turn back.

Thousands of soldiers eat horse chews. If it is a warm season, there is no difficulty. The big deal is to graze horses while hunting, and at the same time slowly consume with the Ming army. No one can do anything.

Today, the world is icy and snowy.

If you don't want to find a way to break through a city and replenish some food and grass, this elite cavalry will face annihilation...

……

"Lord Jialaerzhen, the siege equipment is ready, when will the battle begin?"

"Remember, minimize casualties..."

At this moment, suddenly, a bang came from afar, but it came from the direction of Laohekou.

Under the hazy night, a group of extremely sturdy cavalry came galloping.

There are more than six hundred riders.

On the horse's back, there was a shadowy figure, and it was impossible to recognize who it was for a while.

Only strange calls and whistles were heard.

Mixed with the sound of a few deep and ancient horns...
