Chapter 12 The main palace will never go to the battlefield
Zhu Hou glanced at Qin Hong, Zhu Houzhao naturally understood Qin Hong's words, and he also knew what Qin Hong was worried about, on the one hand, because the road was not easy to walk, and on the other hand, he was worried about the long journey and the lack of effective combat. From Guyuan to Ordos, this step is naturally no problem, but from Ordos to Fengzhoutan, this road is not easy to walk.
Not only is the supply pressure high, but the terrain is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will be ambushed, or simply get lost.
For this, Zhu Houzhao is not worried, it is useless to worry, what he wants to cultivate is the long-distance running ability of the Ming army and the ability to survive in the wild, if he can't even fight Fengzhou Beach, how to go on an expedition in the future, how to fight north, how to reach Xinjiang Qinghai? Therefore, this battle must be fought, and as for the supply problem, Zhu Houzhao is not unprepared.
When it comes to compressed biscuits, it is very troublesome to simply carry food, but it is not so troublesome to carry compressed biscuits.
Another very important point is that Zhu Houzhao believes that by defeating Ordos, he can get a lot of supplies, and the so-called supplies are actually war horses.
How did Genghis Khan's troops go on an expedition? One person rides, you must know that this person rides more than one person is not just for you to ride a horse to hurry, these war horses are food, mare's milk is water, horse meat is food, bring some tea leaves to carry out a long-distance run, Zhu Houzhao wants to build such a cavalry, fight at the door of his own house, that is a cavalry.
Besides, wilderness survival training, which is also a compulsory subject for the Black Dragon Army, Zhu Houzhao does not believe that the professionally trained Black Dragon Army will fold at such a distance from Ordos to Hohhot.
However, there is no need to argue with Qin Hong about this matter, he smiled, and Zhu Houzhao said: "Qin Qing, it is still a little far to say that we are going to conquer Fengzhou Beach, we are going to conquer Ordos, as for whether to conquer Fengzhou Beach, this will be said after the battle against Ordos!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao's gaze turned to the generals on the side: "Do you have any opinions?" ”
What can everyone say, they have been suffocated in the past few years, and they have been training in the Black Dragon Army all day long.
Many of them here are the old Black Dragon Army from three years ago, and they are looking forward to this battle, so they stood up together and said, "The last general will obey the royal order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Okay, then go and prepare!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Get up early to make food, and set off at ten o'clock in the morning!" Saying that, Zhu Houzhao added: "The palace led three thousand black dragon guards to support in the back, once any department is in danger, you can come to ask for help in time!" ”
"Obey military orders!" The generals agreed, and then turned around and walked outside.
When everyone left, Qin Hong's face changed, and he looked at Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not leading the army this time?" ”
"yes!" Zhu Hou nodded as a matter of course: "This time the palace is in the back as a backup, and by the way, I will supervise the battle, and the palace will not participate in the killing." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao also waved his hand, looking light-hearted, it seems that what Bengong said is true, don't worry too much, but Zhu Houzhao's words obviously can't be believed.
Wang Shouren had a helpless expression on the side, and Wang Shouren didn't believe it when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his family said that he would not go to the battlefield.
I have been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and for such a long time, I still don't understand the heart and thoughts of His Royal Highness the Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's martial arts are superb, which he has never seen before, the key is that he is very yearning for the battlefield, such a big war, can he not get involved? It's just fooling outsiders.
The prince said this, and Qin Hong couldn't say that he didn't believe it, but he still had a constipated expression on his face, obviously he didn't expect His Royal Highness the prince to say this, this is too, too!
Zhu Houzhao could naturally guess some of Qin Hong's thoughts, but Zhu Houzhao was also complaining, why didn't anyone believe him if he told the truth?
He followed this time, really followed behind, once there was a problem along the way, then he went to support himself, this is also a guarantee, isn't it? The battle situation is at a stalemate, and he leads the three thousand black dragon army to attack, can he change the situation of the battle in an instant? These people can't understand their intentions at all, and it's really a summer worm that can't be spoken.
Sent Qin Hong away, and glanced at Wang Shouren, who also had a constipated expression on his face, Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What do you see, you also have to follow the palace to press the formation behind." ”
The morning in the northwest was still a little cold, but the camp of the army was already lively at this time, breakfast was over, and the soldiers were sorting out their horses and equipment, and their faces were serious with a little excitement. The generals were checking along the way, and there were no problems at all, and Zhu Houzhao also listened to the armor patrolling the camp.
By Zhu Houzhao's side is Wang Shouren, who is also wearing armor, although Wang Shouren's force value is not very high, but for a soldier, it is not bad.
Naturally, it is impossible for the army of 50,000 people to gather together, and the first batch of 20,000 forwards have already set out, and among these 20,000 people there are 5,000 scouts, who are special scout guards, these people are wearing light armor and riding the fastest horses. You must know that there are also different types of horses, some have good endurance and can travel long distances, but fast running in a short period of time is not good.
Some horses don't have that good stamina, but they have a very strong ability to run short distances, and Scouts ride this kind of horse with strong ability to run short distances.
The forward of 20,000 people, the brigade of 30,000 people, plus Zhu Houzhao's 3,000 Black Dragon Guards, including more than 10,000 auxiliaries and 10,000 cavalry in the northwest.
These 10,000 auxiliaries did not feed horses or the like, but repaired weapons and bows and arrows, some were veterinarians, and most of them were transporting grain and grass. These people, Zhu Houzhao, arranged them with the 10,000 cavalry sent by Qin Hong. Their task is to take care of these auxiliaries, although they are auxiliaries, but these people are not foot soldiers, they can fight like horses.
The auxiliaries of the Black Dragon Army are also carefully selected, and they can be regarded as the reserves of the Black Dragon Army, and once the battle damage in front is too large, they can also fill it in at any time.
A team of nearly 80,000 people set off, 20,000 forwards, 10,000 left and right wings, Zhu Houzhao led 10,000 Black Dragon Army, 3,000 Black Dragon Guards, 10,000 Northwest Cavalry and 10,000 auxiliaries in the back.
Standing on the head of Guyuan City, Qin Hong's heart was a little heavy, he knew the significance of this battle, no matter whether it was successful or not, the impact on the Ming Dynasty was very great, he was looking forward to this battle before, but now that the army is on the march, Qin Hong is a little worried.
