Chapter 373: Wen An's Troops

The Onishi Army's revenge on the Tusi was ruthless.

Zhang Dingguo issued a strict order, tooth for tooth, eye for eye, and no mercy.

He wants to let these invincible Tusi lower their unruly heads, know how to respect and abide by the rules, and understand who is the master of Sichuan.

Although Tusi's cottage has a certain defensive nature, it is obviously unable to resist in the face of the large-scale siege of the Western army.

The toasts were far from being the opponents of the Great Western Army, and Zhang Dingguo was able to break them individually.

After venting their anger, the Great Western Army continued to march towards Chengdu.

After this incident, I believe that these toasts dare not make any more names in secret.

However, while passing through a swamp, the Onishi Army ran into trouble.

Many of the horses fell straight in, and some of the soldiers tried desperately to pull the horses out, but not only did they fail, but they themselves also fell into it.

Seeing the horses and soldiers struggling to sink into the mire, leaving only some bubbles behind, Zhang Dingguo's face turned red.

He'd never encountered anything like this before, so he didn't know what to do.

He had no idea how wide the swamp was.

Just looking at the past is no different from ordinary land, but if you step on it, you will be ruined.

This swamp was like a roadblock in the middle, blocking the way of the Great Western Army.

Damn it!

Zhang Dingguo scolded secretly in his heart.

In any case, he did not dare to venture through the quagmire any longer.

Regardless of the soldiers, the war horse is extremely important, and every time Zhang Dingguo falls into it, his heart is like a knife.

It is not realistic to build a boat temporarily, not to mention that there is not so much wood for Zhang Dingguo to build a boat, even if he really builds enough boats, he may not be able to row in the swamp.

In desperation, Zhang Dingguo had to send cavalry to scatter to reconnoiter to see if there was any possibility of a detour.

It's just that time will be delayed in this way.

However, there is no way to do this, and I believe that Chengdu can understand it.

...

...

Wen Anzhi led the Ming army and entered Baoning.

As far as the eye can see, there is a mess.

Both the city and the village have obvious signs of looting, and most of the houses have been burned, leaving behind a pile of broken walls.

Wen Anzhi couldn't help but sigh.

After Zhang Xianzhong was stationed in Sichuan, although the people lived a very hard life, they did not reach the point where they could not survive. But when Dongyu came, it was really fatal.

Hey, I don't know where Dongyu has gone now.

Anyway, Wen Anzhi decided to march according to the original plan.

They brought plenty of food and grass with them, and they didn't have to worry about running out of food to eat.

Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and other generals had a lot of combat experience, and they advised Wen Anzhi to maintain a relatively central pace, so that the soldiers would not feel too tired and would not slack off.

As for camping, it's even more elaborate.

First of all, you can't camp on the top of the mountain.

In this way, once the enemy found out and set fire to the mountain, it was impossible for the soldiers on the top of the mountain to escape.

Secondly, it is better not to camp next to the river.

Water is important, but it can bring many unexpected situations.

You can camp a little further away from the water source.

And then there is not to camp in the valley.

This is especially true in Sichuan.

There are many valleys in Sichuan, and some generals are comfortable camping here, but they don't know that they are likely to be ambushed.

These Wen Anzhi had only seen a few words in the military book before, but now they have a different feeling when they hear the generals say it in person.

Including when to start and when to stop, when to bury the pot to cook, it is a science.

It's not easy to lead a good soldier.

Of course, Wen Anzhi did not regret it.

On the contrary, he felt that it was much better to come to Sichuan to do something than to stay in Beijing and be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

Before he came to Sichuan, the Ming army could only take a defensive position, and it was likely that it would not be able to hold it.

But the situation has been improving since he led the army into Sichuan, and now the Ming army can take the initiative to attack.

Wen Anzhi understands very well that Zhongxing Daming is not a matter of the Son of Heaven alone.

His Majesty the Emperor is a saint in the sky, and it is impossible to do everything himself. A courtier must stand up and share the burden for him.

And ZTE Daming is not just talking about the success of raising its arms, it must do something down-to-earth.

Although today's young people have a heart to serve the country, few of them can calm down and do things seriously.

While the enthusiasm is still there, they may be able to make a difference, but once this enthusiasm is over, only chicken feathers remain.

So Wen Anzhi is willing to stand up and be an example to teach them what to do.

He came when Sichuan was at its most chaotic, just so that young people could better see how to set things right.

Although Wen Anzhi is old, he is still full of energy when he gets started, as if he has inexhaustible strength.

Tian Jianxiu and others admired it very much, but they also felt a little distressed, and often advised Wen Anzhi to pay more attention to rest, and not have to do everything himself.

But Wen Anzhi shook his head and told them that if a commander wants to lead good soldiers, he must continue to understand and learn.

You may not be gifted, but you must not be diligent.

Otherwise, there will be a situation where the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals.

This situation was very common in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and Wen Anzhi certainly did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

There are a lot of disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty, if you take everything for granted, how can I not change the predecessors, even if it is really difficult to return.

If you want to be ZTE, you must have the courage to change and the courage to face your mistakes.

Therefore, when he was commanding the army, Wen Anzhi did not regard himself as the governor of a province and an important minister of the imperial court, but a simple ordinary person.

The same will make mistakes, the same will learn, and the same will change.

In his eyes, personal prestige is not the most important thing, and it is necessary to have the courage to face mistakes in order to improve better.

It can be said that Wen Anzhi won the support of the generals not because he was the governor of Sichuan appointed by the imperial court, but because of his personal charm.

This is also why Wen Anzhi said that he was going to fight Chengdu, and everyone agreed without saying a word.

However, it was said that the army was just about to pull out the camp that day, and the scout suddenly reported that he had captured one of the spies of the Eastern Captives.

Wen Anzhi couldn't help but perk up.

Now it is the boundary of leaving Boryeong and entering Chengdu Prefecture.

The spies who found Dongyu at this location indicate that Dongyu's army should be in Chengdu Prefecture.

It seems that Dongyu really wants to take Chengdu directly.

Wen Anzhi decided to personally interrogate the Dongyu spy.

Since the Ming army wants to take Chengdu, the timing must be good, and it is best to wait for the Western Thief and the Eastern Prisoner to fight inextricably and then suddenly kill.

And in order to do this, it is necessary to know the movements of the Dongyu well.

Because needless to say, the western thief must be guarded.

The Eastern Captives were the one who launched the attack, and as long as the Ming army grasped the timing of their attack, they could appear at the most opportune time.
