Chapter 292 Change of Commander Before the Battle (Three More Requests for Monthly Tickets and Recommended Tickets!) ）

"General, General, come here!"

Li Jian, the deputy general of the left in Geng Bingwen's army, saw the old general Geng running in the saddle, Zhang Yù brandished a big gun and chased after him, and hurriedly patted his horse to meet him, let Geng Bingwen lead the pro-army of the headquarters to fight with Zhang Yù's pursuers, Xia Xun rode a horse at this time and shook to the left, his dress was no different from the Ming army at the moment, if he was killed by Yan Jun Hu Luàn with a knife, wouldn't it be wronged? So he has been chasing the banner of King Yan in the ranks of the Ming army, and only in front of this acquaintance can the Yan army recognize his identity.

However, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, personally led four thousand iron cavalry, the horse stepped on the camp of the Ming army, and the camp of the thousand horses and thousands of troops, as long as the momentum stopped, the advantage of the cavalry disappeared, so the four thousand iron cavalry of the king of Yan did not stop for a moment, as if a gust of wind had already rushed to the shadow, leaving only a pot of porridge behind him.

Xia Xun approached, was to see a fierce hand dance lance, fierce, a company of several Yan army warriors off the horse, although the Yan army brave, for a while no one could rush into his front of five steps, Zhang Yù made a spear, anxious to step forward and fight with him, but was entangled by more than a dozen Ming army sword and shield hands, unable to get out for a while.

When Xia Xun saw it, he took off his hand and threw the steel knife in his hand. The knife whined, turned into a ball of light, and roared straight to Li Jian's heart, but Xia Xun had never practiced flying knives, let alone such a big flying knife, the knife was thrown very accurately, but the handle of the knife came first. With a "clang", Li Jian's back heart was hit hard by the handle of the knife, and he was wearing leather armor, otherwise his backbone would have to be smashed to pieces.

It's your own people in the back, how can you be attacked?

Li Jian was slightly stunned, only this distraction, broken, there was a Yan army cavalry soldier on the front, surnamed Xue Mingliu, seeing that many of his robe brothers were killed by the Ming general of the opposite arm, he was angry in his heart, he screamed, blood penetrated the pupils, and he was dead, and the tǐng spear rushed straight towards Li Jian, just when Li Jian was stunned, it was too late to say that it was too late, Li Jian neither had time to assassinate Xue Liu and his lance, nor did he have time to lift the horse to avoid, Li Jian shouted, and was stabbed in the mouth by Xue Liuyi's spear, and fell off the horse on his back.

"It's not good, the pony is injured, the daimyo pony is injured!"

As soon as Li Jian fell, the Ming army on the left and right was in an uproar, Xue Liuwei stepped forward fiercely, and was about to add another spear to stab this Ming general to death, when he suddenly heard the Ming army shouting, he hurriedly stopped the spear, and several Yan Jun's sword and shield men on his left and right had already known the opportunity to rush forward, and without hesitation, he dragged Li Jian's feet and dragged him into his camp.

It turns out that this Li Jian is not only the deputy general of the rebel army, but also a concubine, he is the husband of Zhu Yuanzhang's seventh nv daimyo princess, the brother-in-law of the current emperor, and the brother-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan. Xue Liu didn't expect that one of his xiǎoxiǎo horsemen could take down a horse, this is a great achievement, King Yan has always rewarded and punished clearly, and he will never lose his benefits, and he couldn't help but be surprised after being stunned.

Li Jian xiōng had a spear in his mouth, wounding his lungs, and blood was spilling from his mouth, but he was still fierce, roaring angrily and roaring: "Who is the secret arrow to hurt people? Who is the secret arrow that hurts people! Come out! Come out! 300 rounds of battle with someone! ”

"Come on, help the daimyo horse down, and let the military doctor take care of it!"

Zhang Yù ordered his life, and several Yan soldiers ran backwards with Li Jian, who was scolding angrily, Zhang Yù raised his head with a horizontal gun, and saw Xia Xun standing not far away, waving to him, the ribs were empty, there was only a scabbard, Zhang Yù couldn't help but smile slightly......

In the battle of the Hutuo River, the Ming army's defense line was first opened by Zhang Bao and Xia Xun from the inside, and then Zhu Di, the king of Yan, personally led the four thousand iron horses selected by Jīng in the three guards of Yanshan to step on the company camp, stirring up a mess, and then Zhang Yù Zhu Neng and others waved their troops to attack, and the Ming army was completely luàn, completely falling into a situation of fighting for itself, and the defensive front built by Geng Bingwen Jīng became a mass of scattered sand, especially this group of scattered sand is still in the midst of fighting and retreating, and it is even more unheard of, and the soldiers will have nothing to do, and they will be defeated and defeated.

Leaning on the few remaining strong bridges, the Ming army fled back to the south bank one after another, and the captain Li Jian was seriously wounded and captured, and the right deputy general Ning Zhong, the commander of the capital Liu Sui and other senior generals were also captured alive by the Yan army, trampled to the death of countless people, and more than 20,000 people abandoned their armor and surrendered. You must know that this war is different from the war of aliens, and the enemies of aliens, in addition to instinctive resistance and the deep hatred accumulated in the past, the soldiers must also consider the consequences of being trapped in a foreign race after surrendering, always inferior, and being slaves and slaves.

But surrendering to King Yan is just a change of banner and still being his soldier, and other aspects have not changed. In the eyes of some readers, King Yan is a great rebellion, and in the eyes of these soldiers, this is just a personal grudge between the royal uncle and nephew, carefully calculated, or the emperor is not kind, and since the emperor ascended the throne, the practice of despising the warriors has also chilled the hearts of the soldiers, all kinds of factors, resulting in the Ming army's weak will to fight, a defeat and surrender, and they are very different from the brave style of the war with the foreign Hulu.

Geng Bingwen fled back to the south bank in embarrassment under the protection of the pro-army guards, and turned back, seeing that the army under his command was in disarray, and the soldiers stranded on the north bank were still fighting hard......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In this battle, King Yan raised his troops with war, and the more he fought, the stronger he became, but Geng Bingwen's morale was low and he was slumped, so he had to wave his army and return to Zhending. King Yan did not stop, crossed the Hutuo River, the troops came to the city of Zhending, built all kinds of siege equipment, and stormed the city of Zhending, Geng Bingwen insisted on Zhending, while repairing the table to play the court, detailing the situation before and after the defeat, asking for punishment, and asked the court to urge Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu, and Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyīn, to speed up the journey, to arrive as soon as possible, and then draw up a counteroffensive plan after meeting the troops.

When Geng Bingwen's defeat recital was sent to Jinling, Zhu Yunwen was still discussing Zhou Li with Fang Xiaoru. As soon as Fang Xiaoru's system of Ida was proposed, it was strongly opposed by many civil and military officials, including most of the civil officials who were originally on the same front as him, who felt that the idea of this great Confucian was simply out of place and unbelievable, but Fang Xiaoru, an idealist, did not think so, and when debating with the ministers, he also changed his usual modest and gentlemanly style, and sometimes his voice was fierce and angry, which was almost like two people from his usual appearance.

In Fang Xiaoru's heart, restoring the Zhou rites and restoring the system of Jingtian is the only means to solve all the contradictions in the world and restore the rule of the Holy Ming in ancient legends. However, there are too many opponents, and it is comforting to talk about it, but the emperor agrees with him very much, and the two monarchs and ministers often talk about the ancient system together, intoxicated by the tranquil and quiet ancient pastoral style.

At present, the first priority of the imperial court is to cut the feudal domain, although Zhu Yunwen is a naïve rookie like Fang Xiaoru politically, but he also knows that it is not appropriate to make earth-shaking changes to the imperial court at this time, but he still learns tirelessly from Fang Xiaoru, he plans to get rid of King Yan, cut off all the vassal kings, and concentrate all the power in his own hands, and then implement, implement, and promote it step by step according to Mr. Xiaozhi's vision, and finally achieve the great rule of the world, and the holy monarch does nothing.

Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Yunwen is afraid from the bottom of his heart, but he is blindly confident in the force he has at his disposal, he always believes that under the planning of his two gentlemen, "Wolong and Phoenix Chick", under the righteous call of his own mandate to heaven and the orthodox son of heaven, the king of Yan and his ilk will be defeated, so when he ordered Xie Gui and others to arrest King Yan, he was full of confidence, and this time let Geng Bingwen lead the rebel army to the Northern Expedition, he was also full of confidence.

But once or twice, he made a mistake in his prediction, Geng Bingwen hurriedly sent him not a battle report of a great victory, but a recital of asking for sin, Zhu Yunwen woke up from the beautiful dream of the ancient sage, was furious, and scolded him: "Geng Bingwen is mediocre and incompetent, and the soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, which is really deeply disappointed and deeply disappointed." ”

A group of close ministers who hurriedly heard the news looked at each other, Geng Bingwen was defeated too quickly, completely beyond their expectations, they were very optimistic about the war before, and agreed that once the imperial army arrived, the extermination of King Yan was just around the corner, and now they finally realized that the cutting of the feudal domain was a thorn, and this Zhu Laosi was not a persimmon to pinch.

Qi Tai comforted: "Your Majesty don't worry, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, a war can not determine the overall situation, now Wu Jie, Wu Gao, the two marquis armies are heading north, Geng Lao General Guochao veteran, just careless, fell into Yan Rebellion's trick, this is the loss of the first hand, Your Majesty can be severely reprimanded, and then make him guilty and meritorious, I believe that Changxing Hou can ......"

Before Qi Tai finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen said abruptly: "Geng Bingwen is incompetent and useless!" How can I use him again? When a general is replaced, he will lead the rebel army and destroy the rebellion for me. ”

Qi Tai changed and said: "Your Majesty must not, it is a taboo in the army to change generals in battle, not to mention, General Geng is experienced in a hundred battles and resourceful, how can Your Majesty abandon it because of temporary gains and losses, looking at the government and the opposition, who else is a famous general who can match General Geng?" ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Who said that I will be a nameless general?" Your Majesty, the minister will raise one person to share your majesty's worries. ”

Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked, "Who does Mr. recommend?" ”、

Huang Zicheng said: "Cao Guogong Li Jinglong." ”

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Cao Guogong only trained for the imperial court, how could he have fought for the country?" Cao Guogong went out, but I am afraid that it is not Yan Wei and other opponents who have been fighting on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang for a long time, if the emperor is going to change the commander, the minister thinks that Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, can succeed to the post of marshal of rebellion. First, Xu Huizu went out with his father when he was young, experienced the battlefield and had combat experience. Moreover, General Xu Da is the first commander of my Ming Army, and now there are many old departments of General Xu in the army. ”

Huang Zicheng said: "Those who are good at training soldiers can naturally fight well, and Lord Qi, as the secretary of the military department, doesn't he even understand such a simple truth?" As for Xu Huizu, although the Duke of Wei was loyal to the king and did not help the abuse, but his sister was the concubine of the King of Yan after all. Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is the grandson of the general Li Wenzhong, who is well versed in strategy and can be called handsome. ”

Zhu Yunwen said in his heart: "Jiujiang is my cousin, naturally more reliable than Xu Huizu, or Mr. knows my intentions, Jiujiang is in charge, it is indeed the best choice!" Then he made a final decision: "Just Mr., worship Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, as the general of rebellion!" ”

Zhu Yunwen slammed his fist on the imperial case with a "bang", and said fiercely: "Wu Jie, Wu Gao's two soldiers and horses, plus the imperial army in Zhending City, there are a total of 250,000 troops, I will give Cao Guogong 250,000 soldiers and 500,000 troops this time, Yan is undefeated, how can heaven exist!" ”
