Chapter 520: Jianwen Again
This strategy was indeed proposed by Hu Yuancheng, luring the enemy deep and letting the Ming infantry and cavalry advance inside, and the Ming artillery is a heavy weapon, very cumbersome, not conducive to slackness, and the Ming generals are likely to be careless and let the Shenji battalion artillery move slowly behind.
This gave the army the opportunity to use the elephant army to attack them when the distance between them was too great, and see if they had a way to deal with it.
Obviously, they didn't, or they wouldn't have retreated more than fifty miles to the north.
Since they can't cope. Then next, you can also dispatch the main force to fight them under the city of many states, use the elephant army to attack his left and right cavalry when the time comes, and then the cavalry will rush to kill and destroy them in one fell swoop, so that the Great Zhou Emperor knows that the Great Hu Dynasty is not a soft persimmon, he can pinch it if he wants to.
"This is all Emperor Taishang Shengming, and his humble duties are just what he should do, and they are all blessed by God." Hu Yuancheng got up and knelt on the ground, he didn't dare to swallow this credit, and he couldn't swallow it.
Hu Jichen laughed and immediately mobilized his troops, preparing to come to Japan and fight against the Ming army.
Hum......
makes you crazy, there are times when you can't be crazy, watching the injured soldiers be carried into the hospital one by one, Gongsun Jian is not idle, and he is a doctor in the army in person
and treat wounded soldiers. He's a doctor, and he's very handy at that.
As soon as all the wounded were treated, and it was too late to eat, Wu Gaoxu came to report. The Shenji Camp is still fifty miles away.
The speed of this came was quite fast, and Gongsun Jian immediately arranged for someone to pick him up, and then returned to his camp to rest.
The sun is blazing. It seems that on this day, it is unlikely to rain. Gongsun Jian was not in a hurry, and according to the scout's report, Hu Jichen in Duobang had gathered 110,000 troops nearby, looking at the posture, he wanted to have a decisive battle with himself.
"Master, what are they waiting for?" I had lunch today. Wu Zhanji came to Gongsun Jian's side and asked.
What are you waiting for?
Seeing that Zhang Fu and the others looked at themselves, Gongsun Jian sneered; "They are waiting for a heavy rain, and only with heavy rain will my artillery not work, which will help their elephant army to carry out the operation. Look, as soon as there is any sign of rain, they will immediately fight us. ”
True or false, no one knows, maybe it's true, maybe it's false, just hundreds of thousands of people after half a month of holding this pair.
The scorching sun suddenly changed, the clouds were dense, and it looked like it was going to rain for several days.
"General, it's time to write a war over there." Mu Sheng strode to the Chinese army, pointed to the gate of the camp in the distance, and shouted.
It's really the right time to come, Gongsun Jian grinned; "Just let him in."
So arrogant.
Seeing that the general actually rode a horse to show off his might, he ran in and issued a war letter with his nostrils facing the sky. With a heavy face, he pointed to the guards beside him; "Gouge out his eyes for me. Chop off both of his legs.
No country has ever dared to use such a posture to issue a war letter, even if it is Arutai, it has to be behaved, a little Annan, is so arrogant, if they don't teach them a lesson, they probably don't even know what their surname is.
After a scream. Gongsun Jian raised his eyes slightly; "Go back and tell Hu Jichen that old thing, tomorrow's decisive battle, I will accompany you to the end."
Woooooooo
Woooooooo
The sound of trumpets and the roar of war drums of the 160,000 army, under the command of Gongsun Jian, have been deployed on this wide ground.
The infantry shield bearers were in front, followed by the crossbowmen, and in the back were the central troops, while on the left and right were cavalrymen armed with swords and spears, as well as cavalry archers.
The movement of more than 100,000 troops did not make any noise.
And Gongsun Jian, in the Chinese army, squinted his eyes and looked at the array opposite, as he analyzed, this Hu army really pulled out the main force, at least more than two hundred elephants were in the front, surrounded by some pikemen.
The artillery of the Shenji Battalion is now deployed in the position of the Chinese army, but these things are useless today, and the rain will wet all the gunpowder.
In the distance, Hu Jun had already begun to move slowly, Gongsun Jian stood up from the platform built by the Chinese army, looked at it, and then looked at Wu Gaoxu beside him; "Second brother, whether you can win this battle or not depends on you. If you win, I'll send you a sister, and if you lose, you can take your head back to your father. ”
When the battle was defeated, more than 3,000 people were lost in vain, and those soldiers did not die in vain, everything was for today's decisive battle.
Once the elephant soldiers are destroyed, his cavalry will quickly divide and surround tens of thousands of iron cavalry on both sides, and eat a mouthful.
From the moment he arrived in Guilin, he let Wu Gaoxu train the Dadao Battalion. There were 2,000 men, a shield-bearer, a spearman, an archer, and a man who specialized in broadsword. The rest of the people completely assisted the broadsword, so that the front of it approached the elephant, not too much, as long as one of the tendons was chopped, and the fire would be wasted.
Wu Gaoxu understood that in today's battle, everything depends on his elephant soldiers, so he arched his hand and spoke solemnly; "Look, just leave it to me."
Wu Gaoxu slapped his horse and left, Gongsun Jian turned over on his horse, and personally came to the array to walk back and forth and shouted loudly; "Brothers, the time has come to make a contribution, the time to get rich, and the hundreds of thousands of people on the other side will be huge wealth, and those who want to get rich. I want to marry a daughter-in-law. I want to earn more money for my family. I'll give them up for a while, and kill them. ”
There was silence, the soldiers were waiting, and Gongsun Niu raised the spear in his hand to the sky: "Da Zhou is mighty." ”
"The general is mighty, the general is mighty, the general is mighty." The officers and men of the three armies replied in unison.
The sound of "killing ......" was like a bell, the war drums were beating, the Ming infantry slowly advanced under the cover of shields, the archers began to intercept it, and the cavalry on both sides had already been dispatched, roaring to fight on both sides of the Hu army.
A few beds and crossbows were also brought up, and spears were loaded and aimed specifically at the elephant soldiers in the distance.
The bed crossbow used a spear, and when a guy went over, Hu Jun followed the sugar gourd.
After the fierce collision, the elephant soldiers trampled unscrupulously, so that the army's attack array was completely destroyed, it was like a tank, and ordinary swords and guns could not help him at all.
"It's up to you." Looking into the distance, Wu Gaoxu led the people to pounce on the elephant soldiers opposite.
Hu Jun Zhongjun. Hu Jichen got up from his chair and laughed, from here, he could see the Ming army's attacks again and again, but let his elephant soldiers block it, and then it was divided and let his troops eat it bite by bite.
He was very happy in his heart, at this rate, it would not be long before the Ming army would be completely defeated. When the time comes, chase them out in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Guangxi and Yunnan, so that the Great Zhou Emperor knows that he is not a vegetarian, and there is also a time when he is strong.
"In this battle, we must be ......"
Whining
The elephant soldier in front of him suddenly let out a mournful scream, and immediately after him, he saw several elephants begin to fall.
"What's going on?" The surrounding generals didn't know how to respond, but fortunately, the generals in the front army sent the deputy general to report the news.
Figuring it out, a peculiar unit suddenly appeared in the Ming army, this force was in a group of four people, and the elephant's hamstrings were cut down when they stepped forward, and the strength of the left and right guards was dragged by other Ming troops, and they couldn't support it at all.
His heart was half cold, Hu Jichen was a little flustered at the moment, if there were no elephant soldiers, he would rely on his cavalry and infantry alone to fight with the Ming army in the field, this would ......
Whining
The screams are still there, and the elephant soldiers are losing a little bit.
Zhang Fu hummed and left, Gongsun Jian looked at Li Bin, and asked him to command 15,000 cavalry, and also make a detour, but did not participate in the battle, but waited for the other party to be defeated, let go of most of the enemy's front army and the middle army, and then rushed out to intercept them.
kill
Another 20,000 cavalry roared and rushed forward, and the infantry and shield bearers also began to charge in full force.
Hu Jun, who was relying on elephant soldiers, saw the elephant soldiers fall to the ground one by one, and his heart was already cold, and when he saw the Ming army fiercely cut off the disclosure of his comrades and rushed down to his waist again. I don't know who shouted in front of him; "That's not a man, that's the devil, run for your life."
Like a plague, the front army of the Hu army, which was already struggling to support, began to rout, which caused the army behind to not come up and the front to go. Chaos began.
Seizing the opportunity, Gongsun Jian cracked his mouth and smiled and turned his head; "Give me the order to go down, and press it all down for me. Now is the time. ”
Like the tide, all the Ming troops who had not yet been dispatched fought in an all-round way, and those who could not enter in the middle began to extend directly from both sides, forming a huge sign of pincers, and with the assistance of the cavalry, they encircled the Hu army.
Hu Jichen's heart was dripping blood, he thought that he would definitely win today's battle, but who would have thought that it would be such a result, he was frightened, and began to evacuate to Duobang City under the pull of the guards.
The commander withdrew, the morale was completely dripping, and Zhang Fu's 20,000 Ming troops had already made a detour and joined the battle, and the Hu army suddenly lost resistance and was completely defeated
Defeat, leaving everything that can be left behind.
In their hearts, there is also one thought now, leave the rest alone for the time being, and save their lives first.
The 200,000 army chased forward in unison, until it was under the city of Duobang, and then the battle was temporarily ended.
Victory.
According to statistics, in this battle, more than 50,000 Hu troops were wiped out, and more than 40,000 were captured.
The rest, there is nothing to worry about, there will be no big waves, as long as the army deals with it carefully and takes Annan, it is only a matter of time.
This battle can be won, and the biggest credit is naturally the broadsword group led by Wu Gaoxu, if it weren't for them cutting down the elephant soldiers, it would not be so easy to win.
When it comes to doing it, if you say that you will send a girl, you will send a girl, this Annan's sister is also quite watery, Gongsun Jian immediately arranged for someone to count the list, and when the time comes, he will send a girl to this group of people.
He was about to study with the others how to conquer many states. As soon as the horse docked outside the battalion commander, a man dressed as a bearded man rushed in and knelt on one knee; "Humble Jinyi Wei Guangxi Thousand Households Qianli See the Commander Envoy."
Jin Yiwei had already begun to fully enter and spy on the news a few months ago, and as soon as Gongsun Niu heard that it was Qianhu who had arrived in person, he immediately asked him to stand up and asked; "Qianhu has something to report directly."
Damn. He's going to fight me to the end. After listening to Qian Li's words, Gongsun Jian's eyes narrowed into a line and came to the marching map.
"Okay. If you want to fight, Lao Tzu will accompany you to the end. Gongsun Jian snorted coldly and smashed his fist on the place that Annan had not yet occupied.
When Wu Zhanji saw his master's expression, he thought for a while; "Master, since they will transfer the main force left in Champa to the north, why don't our army borrow from Champa and let the sailor escort a part of the army, where to land from, and launch an attack from south to north, if you can, you can contact the king of Champong, and give him a few places to send troops together to attack from the north and south."
This is a good way, to quickly end the battle of Annam, to avoid the army falling into this side of the can't get out, after all, this side is just a small fish and shrimp, the real opponent of the Great Zhou, the current is still in the north, as for the future, it is several powerful countries in the west, the first is Timur, only by taking him, can we open up trade with the west from the land.
