Chapter 50: Black Clouds Crush the City
This week, Huaji is the most desperate for his life, and this time he came to supervise the army and supervise the war, and he was also anxious to show his loyalty in front of the emperor and get involved in military exploits.
Since Zhou Huaji left the city, he has been staying in the army, thinking that the 40,000 army in the hands of Man Gui can always hold the camp even if it is not good.
This time I suddenly heard Yuan Chao's words, and my heart was really bottomless, if the camp was really broken by the Jin army this time, I would have to explain here, it would be too late to say anything.
"No, I still have a lot of silver to spend, and I haven't become a palm print eunuch yet, so I can't just explain it here." Zhou Huaji had a strong inner monologue.
Zhou Huaji was unsettled, and suddenly thought that there was an excellent little general in front of him, so he should ask him what good strategy he had first, "I said General Yuan Chao, I said in case, I also said in case, if the Jin army breaks through the camp, then how can I retreat with my whole body and not fall into the hands of thieves." Zhou Huaji asked softly, and the sharp voice was gone.
Yuan Chao was quietly happy in his heart, it seems that Zhou Gonggong has gone to the Tao, and this time he can follow Zhou Gonggong to get naked. "Father-in-law Zhou, if there is really a dangerous moment, the last general will definitely lead the army to escort Father-in-law Zhou and run to Yongding Gate." Zhou Weihang said.
"Yongding Gate? Alas, General Yuan Dynasty, you also think too highly of me Zhou Huaji, this time unless there is an order from the saint, no one else will want to open the city gate, even if we get under the city wall, eighty percent will be captured by the Jin army. Zhou Huaji naturally knew that with the firepower of Yongdingmen, it would be difficult to stop the Jin army from killing and dispersing the rout.
"Father-in-law Zhou, if you let Yongdingmen arrange more firearms such as Hundred Tigers and Franc Machines, it will not be a big problem, plus my army will protect us, and then the Jin Army will naturally think that we are hard bones, so they will not pay more attention to us and wait." Yuan Chao stated his plan.
"Okay, a good Yuan Dynasty, it's really resourceful, what you said is right, I don't have the ability to open the city gate, but let the city gate have more firearms, and when the time comes, we still have the ability to support us."
"The guards of the Beijing camp on the Yongding Gate, as well as the generals of the Shenji Battalion who have a lot of firearms in the Beijing camp, most of them also have contacts with me, I will repair a book later, and send it into the city together with the fold you just handed over, let the group of guards take my letters, and find enough firearms for me everywhere in the Beijing camp, if it is really difficult, let them not worry about firearms, or I will go back and have to pack a few." Zhou Huaji's sharp voice became louder again.
After hearing this, Yuan Chao also felt that this matter had been done, after all, Zhou Huaji did not dare to joke with his net worth. "Okay, please move to General Sun's camp before the open war, and I will also be stationed there, after all, this Chinese army tent will definitely become the main target of the thieves."
When Zhou Huaji heard this, he also nodded, "General Yuan Dynasty, my net worth and life will be entrusted to you, if there is really an accident, please ask the general to save him with all his might, and I will definitely repay the general well in the future." ”
Yuan Chao didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly went back to prepare for it.
Returning to his camp and looking at his troops, Yuan Chao felt a sense of security, in this troubled world, there is nothing more worthy of relying on than strength.
……
A few days later, after Huang Taiji rectified all the troops in Liangxiang, he killed the Beijing Division, and now he has come to the front of the Mangui camp.
Huang Taiji is known as a 100,000-strong army to attack Ming this time, in fact, even if all of them are added, it will only be about 30,000 or 40,000 people, which is comparable to the number of Mangui's army, but the Jin army is mostly cavalry.
Moreover, in the long-term war, the Ming army has developed a psychological fear of the Jin army.
When I saw tens of thousands of Jin troops assembled across the other side of the Yongding River, the soldiers of the Ming army were under tremendous psychological pressure in their hearts, and there was a lot of turmoil in several large camps.
The only good point is the camp of Sun Zushou guarding the right flank, which is considered to be a good way to govern the army.
Yuan Chao also led troops and stationed them in this large camp.
The troops of the Yuan Dynasty were even more calm at this time, after all, the Yuan Dynasty mainly recruited loyal and honest people, and the less oil in this army, the army could be more stable, and it could also appear more tenacious in the face of pressure.
"You take a look at the soldiers in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the faces claim to be the elite of the border army, one by one when I didn't see the Jin Army, I bragged about the earth-shattering sound, and now the Jin Army is still on the other side, this group of people are so scared that they have to pee their pants." Liu Yu'er was still practicing with the large army as usual, joking with the new soldiers in his leisure time.
"Hahaha, I have been in the border army, and now I am in our Yongyi Battalion, after training these days, the army over there is simply a group of beggars." A newly trained soldier from the border army also laughed and teased.
The army of the Yuan Dynasty still seemed relatively relaxed, and the Yuan Dynasty himself was nervous and Sun Zushou had been discussing the battle in front of him.
"Yuan Dynasty, this time it is really a black cloud that wants to destroy the city, this time these Jin troops are even more fierce than last time, I heard that they have begun to look for a crossing point in the upstream and downstream, and are ready to cross the river immediately to fight." Sun Zushou held his hands behind his back and discussed with Yuan Chao.
"Then Lord Mangui didn't hurry up and send troops, block the ferry, and hit half of it." Yuan Chao also said.
"It doesn't work, the Liangshui River is not a chasm, there are too many points that can cross the river, people don't have to cross the river from the front, cross the river from our upstream and downstream, if you dare to go out of the camp to block, they can quickly cross the river at another point, and then ride a horse to cut you all the way, now all we can do is to shrink in the camp, and wait for the Jin army to cross the river, put up a posture to attack the camp." Sun Zushou's words were full of helplessness and complaints, there was no way, who asked the emperor to urge them to fight away from the city wall, so that the enemy army could be wiped out on the periphery of the capital.
Yuan Chao nodded silently for a while when he heard this, and stopped making a sound.
"Look, the big war is about to break out, let's get ready for a bloody battle." Sun Zushou seems to have a hunch that this time he is a little more auspicious, and what he says is a little tragic and frustrating.
"Brother Sun, don't worry, with your younger brother here, you will definitely be able to protect Brother Sun." Yuan Chao looked at Sun Zushou and told the truth in his heart.
"You stupid boy, if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. Since the day I joined the army, I have never been afraid of death, but if there is turmoil today, I haven't helped calm this troubled world, and if I really die, it will be a little regrettable. Sun Zushou also thought about his life experience in his heart and sighed.
Yuan Chao was silent again, thinking in his heart that he must save his eldest brother Sun.
