Chapter 159: Dangerous Moves

He knew that if he chased further, it would only drag down the soldiers' bodies, and according to the inventory, there were less than a thousand people taken away by Boyan Bell and there was no wind or waves, so it didn't hurt to let him die at the end of the world, not to mention that Boyan Bell They are now less crowded, not as many people as before to find more people, these thousand people scattered into the desert are like stones sinking into the sea, it is difficult to find,

Chao Xing ordered to rest and recuperate, wait for Zhen Lingdan to lead the army to come, and then make plans after replenishing supplies, Boyan Bell can't be in the desert all his life, the desert oasis is just a few pieces, far apart, and there are many dangers in the middle, and he can't feed a thousand people for a long time, so Boyan Bell will definitely go to the town at the end of the desert to find a life, just wait until the arrival of the Ming army, and search the towns further west one by one, and he will definitely be able to capture this thief, anyway, as long as Boyan Bell doesn't go to heaven and earth, he must be caught back, This determination is unwavering throughout the army,

The march speed of Zhen Lingdan's army is also very fast, coincidentally, he actually adopted the same marching method as Zhu Jianwen to hunt down the remnants of Wara, marching alternately, the difference is that he uses camels to pull people, in short, although there are many people in this kind of marching efficiency, the marching speed has not slowed down,

Although such a method of marching is fast and the soldiers are not guilty, they can get a good rest and maintain sufficient combat effectiveness, but the requirements are not low, the first number of people is enough, the number of people is less, this method does not reflect how fast it is, but it is not as simple as the ordinary rush, the second is to be rich enough, to be able to buy livestock and carts corresponding to the number of the army, and the spirit of the soldiers is noble, after all, this is a pursuit, no matter how comfortable it is, it is only relative, the more this method of combining work and rest, the easier it is to make people inert, Although the combat effectiveness has been maintained in this way, the morale and heart may not be able to maintain a state of total victory, so the morale should be strong, and the spirit of the soldiers should be noble and simple.

These three points are not a problem for Zhen Lingdan, he took the place to rest in place, the two talked and laughed and continued to march eastward, Zhen Lingdan smiled and said to Chao Xing: "I got you to report that day, I was napping, and I thought it was the remnants of the enemy army attacking, how do I know that it is your good news, I am really overjoyed, after you pursued this time, Boyan Bell was greatly injured, and it was difficult to turn over." ”

Chao Xing looked at a round of red sun and said: "Then should we mention a poem to suit the situation, you and I are both veterans, just say that the old man talks about juvenile madness, what do you think." ”

"No, you have to be unique, let me think about it." Zhen Lingdan is not good at dancing and writing, so she lowered her head and pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Let's take the theme of the big victory I received from you that day, and the name is General Qingchao's great victory over Fanman." ”

Zhen Lingdan didn't wait for Chao Xing to answer, and then raised his voice: "The red sun has not fallen and slept in the tent, the horse neighed and screamed, and the sword was drawn out of the camp and the flute was puffed up, and the primitive stepped through the North Pass. This poem is written in one go, although it is flawed, it contains the straightforward and bold character of the veteran Zhen Lingdan, as well as the joy of the results of the pursuit of Chao Xing, in short, it is still full of the style of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the text is also remarkable.

Chao Xing clapped his hands and praised, the two veterans talked and laughed and continued to rush towards the city to the west, the marching plan was no plan, 30,000 people as a group, divided into twenty cities to advance to find Boyan Bell, in the face of such an iron army, try to ask which eyeless small country dares to take in the strange defeated general Boyan Bell,

In the middle of May of the fourth year of Tianshun, the Central Plains,

Qu Xiangtian was intercepted by the army from Nanjing again, Miao Gu also led the Miao people into the Han to help the war, since ancient times, the Miao people have not obeyed discipline, and their temperament is mostly strong and cool, it is rare not to go against the Han people, and it is even less heard of to cooperate with the Han people to quell the rebellion, and now this result must be carried out under the instruction of Tan Qing, Qu Xiangtian saw that the army of the West Road and the South Road was getting more and more, and it was really difficult to break through the encirclement.

In this way, Lu Yunzhi was quite caught off guard, he didn't expect Qu Xiangtian to march in the northeast direction where he drove him away, and he was a little busy for a while, in short, the plan was completely disrupted, Lu Yunzhi couldn't help but secretly sigh that Qu Xiangtian was indeed a genius with soldiers, although he had arranged for a long time to form an absolute advantage in Qu Xiangtian's encirclement, but Qu Xiangtian pointed to the east and west, not busy running but going to the hinterland with many soldiers, so easily resolved Lu Yunzhi's next careful plan,

Most of the Ming army under Lu Yunzhi is crowded in the northeast, and now Qu Xiangtian has squeezed in again, although the number of Ming troops in the northeast direction is large, but because there are too many people, it is not as good as the southwest direction to arrange troops to block in batches, and now they are all entangled together, there is no other way to give full play to the numerical advantage, bullying Qu Xiangtian and there are few people, and the encirclement without gaps slowly shrinks and surrounds, so he swallows Qu Xiangtian with the tactics of a sea of people,

This seems to be more beneficial to Lu Yunzhi, Qu Xiangtian has no reinforcements in the south, Qin Rufeng's troops have also been destroyed, Qu Xiangtian's hands are only more than 20,000 people, but Qu Xiangtian has always been good at fighting battles with less to win more, the more enemies there are, the more he can stimulate his fighting spirit, not to mention that Lu Yunzhi knows that fighting is not a fight, not a lot of people will definitely win, once there is a slight defeat, that is the real defeat like a mountain, just trampling on the loss is not light,

In July of the fourth year of Tianshun, Qu Xiangtian defeated Zhu Jianwen's troops, and once again entered the Shandong boundary and Yanzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, intending to go north to take the capital directly, Lu Yunzhi hurriedly ordered Zhu Jianwen to withdraw to the capital to set up defenses, because except for Lu Yunzhi himself, there are few people who can defend with Zhu Jianwen.

Although he is still worried about Zhu Jianwen, Lu Yunzhi knows that Zhu Jianwen has lost the decisiveness of his youth as he grows older, he has completely become a politician or a conspirator, and everything must be planned carefully before he will rebel, it is this that makes Lu Yunzhi put his mind at ease, and now is not the best moment for Zhu Jianwen, if he and Qu Xiangtian should be together, even if Lu Yunzhi falls, Zhu Jianwen will not be able to ascend to the position of a great treasure, Zhu Jianwen himself knows that if compared with Qu Xiangtian, his force and strategy are insufficient, and now he can only forbear, if you don't chirp, it's already a blockbuster,

After the Mongol invasion, Qu Xiangtian rebelled, trying to consume Lu Yunzhi's strength, although Lu Yunzhi was more terrible in Zhu Jianwen's view, but Qu Xiangtian was not a vegetarian, and the two tigers would have one death and one injury when they competed.

Zhu Jianwen himself understood this truth, and similarly, Lu Yunzhi also understood, so Zhu Jianwen tacitly retreated to the capital, and set up a defensive line in the south of the capital of Shuntianfu, waiting for Qu Xiangtian's arrival, Zhu Jianwen did not rush to enter Beijing to defend, and expressed loyalty to Lu Yunzhi with actions, because the current Lu Yunzhi is still not something he can contend with.
