Chapter 251 The Pursuit of Spring
Mengjing received Chen Long's flying pigeon message, and he was in a happy mood, and immediately Xiao Han and they had a pre-war discussion meeting, with a happy face, and the whole person was already in high spirits.
After they finished reading the letter from Long Chen, Mengjing smiled: "Chang Yuchun is here, haha, fortunately, we are not friends with him, hehe, this time, this kid is destined to die in the hands of our Long'er brothers, refreshing! Han'er, Taiping, for the sake of today's plan, what can I do?"
"Well, this kind of thing, Taiping and Xue'er are more proficient, they like to read history books! However, even if our territory is destined to be ravaged by us! However, there are still 200,000 people on this other side who have not yet been dispatched, don't forget the two girls!" Xiao Han hurriedly reminded them.
Princess Taiping kissed him a few times, looked charming, and smiled: "I know, isn't it just 300,000 people? Hehe, the plan for the battle of Changping with Bai Qi is the best, but Han Xin's ambush on all sides is better! I suggest that when Chang Yuchun chases out about 600 li, at least 500 liha, let's surround him and surround him in three ways, and only allow him to run to the north! In this way, he is the eighth king of the urn! As for him to send a deputy general to break through and ask for help, let's let it go, in this way, Lan Yu and Xu Da will come uninvited! When they reach 400 miles, we will form a separation zone and pull out all their camps first! In this way, these 300,000 people will basically be gone, maybe Lan Yu and Xu Da will fight their way out of the encirclement, haha, let's let them live! In the end, the remnants of the soldiers they can bring back are about 10,000 or 20,000 people!"
Princess Taiping has already spoken out in general.
When Mengjing heard this, she was happy, and her eyes turned to Pei Yingxue again!
She hurriedly echoed: "Of course, Sister Taiping's tactics are the best, with the shadow of the Battle of Changping, and the meaning of Han Xin's ambush on all sides! I will add two points: First, pull out the enemy's strongholds, which is very easy, but it must be fast, and finally pull out their strongholds in their sleep, so that we can reduce casualties; second, the isolation zone of their three armies must use the elite soldiers of the Mongol army, at least 300,000 people! Therefore, I think the Mongol army must invest at least 600,000 cavalry in this battle!"
"Well, you two girls said it very well, the cavalry we are going to put in is about 800,000 people, and the last 200,000 will be personally commanded by me! Han'er, good brother, you finally go to the sky to watch the battle at any time, Taiping, Mei'er wait for Han'er, Xin'er, Fang'er wait for our good brother! In this way, our information will be more accurate! Chen Long's 200,000 iron cavalry surrounds and blocks Chang Yuchun, and let him run north! The prince of Ruyang leads an army of 400,000 to form an isolation zone, and I personally lead 200,000 to encircle Lan Yu and Xu Da! At least the 100,000 people who often meet Chun, Lan Yu's 50,000 people were wiped out, and as for Xu Da, he could destroy as many as he could!" Mengjing smiled.
Xiao Han listened to the joy and smiled: "Hehe, this is the best, do we still have people and horses, this north can't let Chang Yuchun run around, if he runs around, we may also be in danger here!"
"Hehe, I have a total of 2 million Mongolian iron cavalry, and more than 1 million are in the north to intercept and kill Chang Yuchun at any time, each group is twice as large as Chang Yuchun, he can't run! Besides, we have also made a strong wall and cleared the wilderness, and we have already hurried the cattle and sheep to the north of Yinshan Mountain, and he can't find it! He didn't have anything to eat, and he held on for ten days before he could count his ability! Well, let's isolate him from the water source area again, starve them to death, and die of thirst, so that our casualties will be smaller!" Mengjing smiled proudly.
When Pei Yingxue heard this, she shuddered, and seemed a little unbearable.
"Well, Xue'er is soft-hearted, you won't participate in this kind of thing, Xin'er, Ruolan, and you two Mongolian beauties are here to accompany Xue'er!" Princess Taiping smiled and kissed Pei Yingxue.
When those girls heard this, they were immediately a little unhappy, but they had no choice but to respond, Pei Yingxue was a little ashamed, and when she was about to speak, Lin Xuemei had already spoken: "Listen to Her Royal Highness the princess, don't speak, Xue'er, take these girls to prepare wine and food, we Han'er will come back to drink at any time!"
"Yes, I know! Haha, it seems that we also have a task!" Pei Yingxue was happy.
Zhuge Meiyu was still calculating, and when she finished calculating, she smiled: "Sister Meng, we have a ninety-nine percent success rate, and the other one percent is how many people Xu Da can escape, haha! However, I suggest that we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, go straight down to Juyong Pass, and then be stationed in the high mountains outside the capital, ready to negotiate peace with Zhu Yuanzhang at any time!" She has already said the next deployment.
"Haha, we're still thinking about the battle of the prairie, and this beautiful jade girl is thinking about how to get off the Yongguan Pass! Then let the prince of Ruyang act according to the plan, Yingying, immediately return to the army, and tell the prince about our combat intentions! Just say that this time the prison army is our princess Taiping, and whoever doesn't listen will be beheaded! You are no exception!"
When the county lord Yingying heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Sister Princess, don't worry, we will definitely act according to the plan and never go against Sister Princess's will!"
When she was about to leave, Mengjing smiled again: "Tell our soldiers that they are not allowed to drink alcohol for a month! After a month, Princess Ben invites them to drink booze!"
"Yes, sister princess, don't worry, my father has always governed the army strictly, and the soldiers dare not drink!"
Mengjing smiled: "The big war is coming, military discipline must be strict! Taiping, this matter is entrusted to you, hehe, Mei'er personally enforces the law! Beat people, our sergeants will carry it out! Taiping, you and Han'er and Mei'er will go to the army of the prince of Ruyang tomorrow to be the supervisor, he is the key point! Hehe, they are not allowed to drink, you are free, as for the wine and food, we will serve it at any time!"
"Yes, hehe, then I'll go to supervise the battle of the prince of Ruyang, but we are carnival in the army, will it affect the morale of your army? Hehe, or my brother will bear with it? Let's come back and drink every day!" Princess Taiping smiled.
Xiao Han frowned, but in a blink of an eye, he was normal, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll try the taste of milk tea!Haha, I don't believe it, I can't do without alcohol!"
"Okay, happy, our brother is mighty! Mei'er, prepare milk tea for my brother tomorrow, but, what should we use to serve it?
"Hahahaha!" Mengjing couldn't help but laugh proudly. Then, she took out a few of the most popular wild water bottles of 2017 from her room and smiled: "Taiping girl, you have three styles first! Hehe, I'll teach you how to use this kettle in a while!"
Princess Taiping liked it at first glance, she first chose a pink kettle, and then a black kettle for Xiao Han, and smiled: "Does my brother like the one I chose for you?" Mei'er, you choose one yourself, we are going to fight, we must bring enough water!"
"Yes, hehe, I'll be white first, haha, I'm Mei'er! This time, white once!" Lin Xuemei smiled, and quickly kissed her and Xiao Han, with a charming face.
Li Xuanyue smiled: "Don't perform, let's go to meet the prince of Ruyang early tomorrow morning, we can't make a mistake!"
Everyone looked at each other and smiled: "Yes, follow the orders of the ancestors!"
Chang Yuchun had been chasing the Mongol soldiers in the steppe for three days, and the march was smooth, and it was completely beyond his imagination! It's just that the Mongols only sent more than 10,000 people to lure him in front and set up camp by themselves, and they also set up camp, always maintaining a distance of 20 miles! He wanted to catch up fiercely, but the other party was faster, and gradually widened the distance, but then slowed down again, as if they were deliberately teasing him!
After chasing like this for three days, he was a little uneasy! He was already two hundred and fifty miles away from Juyong Pass, just the distance required by Zhu Yuanzhang, but there were still fifty miles to Xu Da, and it was still far from the seven hundred miles that he and Lan Yu imagined!
The deputy general Chang Ning also felt restless, and smiled while camping: "General, why don't we stop here, how about it? The emperor said that we have arrived at two hundred and fifty miles, and we can withdraw our troops! After all, we have pursued for more than two hundred miles, and the Mongols dare not fight back, hehe, we are already very majestic!"
"Alas! Chang Ning, you said that we led 100,000 troops and chased 255 miles, and the other party didn't catch a few hairs, so just go back, is it considered majestic? Those Wenchen, especially Hu Weiyong, don't laugh at us anymore? Besides, Marshal Xu said 300 miles, let's chase another 50 miles, and make up Marshal Xu's regulations!" Chang Yuchun said unwillingly.
As soon as Chang Ning heard this, he knew that he had made up his mind and could no longer change it, so he sighed again, stopped talking, and hurriedly went to arrange the camping.
The next morning, Chang Yuchun was not in a hurry to march, but ordered the soldiers to eat breakfast on time, and ordered the soldiers to prepare enough water! Just when Chang Ning thought that he was going to retreat, Chang Yuchun roared wildly: "Get on the horse, chase fifty miles first, and then hit the sharp!"
Suddenly, the Ming army, under his leadership, pursued the Yuan army in front again.
The speed of the Yuan army's iron cavalry today is the strangest, the more they ride, the slower they get, Chang Yuchun gradually feels that there is hope to catch up with them, and his confidence comes up, and he immediately catches up with the horse and whips.
They were only five miles away from the Yuan army, and they had already seen the other party's formation, which seemed to be a little messy!
Seeing this, Chang Yuchun was overjoyed and smiled: "Brothers, chase me, the other party can't do it, haha, it's time for us to make meritorious contributions! Haha, chase!"
There was only three miles away, Chang Ning hurriedly caught up and reminded: "General, we have chased three hundred miles, it's time to return to the army!"
How do you know that Chang Yuchun's Xingtou came up and smiled: "Chang Ning, look, it's only three miles, no, it's less than three miles, let's run for a while and catch up, haha!" After speaking, he whipped his horse again.
Chang Ning had already seen that it was strange, and when he was about to stop him, he couldn't catch up with him, so he had to follow him to continue the pursuit!
Now, in just one morning, they have chased one hundred and fifty miles, but the other party is already five miles away from them! Chang Yuchun's horse is a little weak, it seems that it is hungry, and its speed is gradually slowing down!
In desperation, Chang Yuchun finally reined in the horse's reins, and when he looked at it again, the other military horses were so tired that they kept stopping, so they had to order to stop the pursuit!
Unexpectedly, the other party slowed down again, and began to eat dry food, and the distance was less than three miles, but the other party seemed to be very vigilant, and people did not get off the horse, but only let the horse eat the grass at will.
Although Chang Yuchun was rude, he was not a reckless man, and he came back to his senses at this time: the other party was obviously tempting the enemy, and it seemed that the troops must be withdrawn, otherwise, they would be surrounded by the Mongols on the grassland, and they were afraid that these 100,000 people would be gone!
"Chang Ning, you're right, okay, let's withdraw the troops, we'll pretend to pursue for a while, you take 50,000 people to retreat quietly, and wait for me at yesterday's camp!" Chang Yuchun finally gave the order to retreat.
When Chang Ning heard this, he admired: "Yes, the general is mighty, haha, it seems that this retreat is also learning, if it were me, I would have withdrawn!"
This is a rule in the army, and the purpose is not to flatter, but to the authority of the commander!
