From Chinese New Year's Eve to two days before the Lantern Festival, throughout the New Year, Zhu Gaoxu and the forward soldiers were floating on the water.

Zhu Gaoxu sat in the pavilion of a large ship, and the banner of "fighting crime and rebellion" on the ship was waving in the wind. He looked at the south bank of the Great River on the right, and knew that the land already belonged to the Zhili Territory.

The bulging sails hang high in the air; Below deck, the wheels of the two waterwheels are "roaring" in the river, and white spray is spinning around the wheels. The soldiers who pedaled the waterwheel let out an evenly rhythmic "yo hey" singing. The boat undulating in the waves sails fast along the river to the east.

At this moment, the military generals on the deck shouted: "Taiping Zhou City! ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately got up from his chair, walked to the side of the boat, leaned against the wooden railing, and looked south. His gaze passed through the hazy damp mist of early spring, and sure enough, he saw a castle tower towering in the distance. On the riverbank, the figures of some rangers also came into view.

The white sails on the river covered the river, like clouds, and the fleet of warships was endless, and the battle was very large. So the official army scouts must have mastered the movements of the Han Dynasty's army and sailors!

The battle between the two sides has gradually come to light.

More than ten days ago, Zhu Gaoxu was still far away in the south of Huguang Province, as if he had come to the Zhili area and the Beijing division was close at hand! He couldn't help but blurt out, "I said I would definitely come back." ”

"Please give the order!" Behind him, a sailor general hugged his fist.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his face and nodded.

After a while, the cyan flag on the flagship danced, and the surrounding horns blew in pieces ...... "woo-woo".

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom", and Zhu Gaoxu felt that the entire hull of the ship was violently shaken. The guns on the deck shot out dazzling flames, and a stone projectile whistled away in the air.

Then fires flashed everywhere on the river, and patches of smoke rose in the wind; Countless cannons sounded, like continuous thunder under the sky. Rao is in broad daylight, and the light seems to follow the roar of the cannon, and it seems to be bright and dark.

All kinds of cannons thrown into the sky, violent recoil shocks, make the hulls of each warship shake. Countless shells flew inaccurately, roughly towards the south bank. However, the lethality of naval guns is not important, and the sound of deterrence is the key.

After a burst of shelling by naval guns, the "rumble" drums sounded in unison, and many sand boats rushed directly to the shore and ran aground. Countless soldiers rushed off the warship, and the crowd spread deep into the riverbank.

The landing battle did not take place, and the officers and soldiers ran away during the shelling. The first division of the Han army rushed to the river bank without encountering any resistance. Then Wang Bin led his troops and transported more soldiers and horses off the warship one after another, and the army of the Han Dynasty gathered on the riverside. Reorganize the queue......

Before noon, Wang Bin sent someone to report: The officials of Taiping Prefecture have surrendered in Kaicheng!

After the news spread, the soldiers on the ship cheered with joy. The grand cheers and shouts on the river came and went, and the river was very noisy. Although the people were tired from the long boat ride, the morale of the soldiers was still high.

The long drive of the Han King's vanguard army has progressed very well so far, and has met almost no effective resistance.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Order all the departments and all the troops of the land division to land and enter Taiping Prefecture!" ”

"Order!"

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu consulted with the generals on the ship, anticipated various situations, and formulated some strategies.

Zhu Gaoxu believed that the official army was very likely to be deployed on the periphery of Beijing, Taiping Prefecture, Zhenjiang Mansion and other places; Because if you defend an area, it is impossible for the defenders to adopt the strategy of trapping an isolated city unless it is absolutely necessary.

If the vanguard of the Han army could not take any city for a while, the army should be deployed along the river to look for fighters; The naval warships were deployed on the river to respond to the land division.

(In case the will of the officers and troops to resist did not collapse, and the advance of the Han army could not win, it was convenient to retreat along the river bank overnight, and then abandon the baggage and go to the ship to protect themselves.) Of course, this is very unlikely. ）

The current situation has exceeded Zhu Gaoxu's expectations! When the civil and military forces of Taipingzhou heard the shelling and saw a force of Han soldiers approaching the city, they quickly surrendered.

So Zhu Gaoxu immediately chose another strategy.

He stepped off the ship and ordered all the land division's baggage, grain, grass, firearms and ammunition to be removed from the ship; He also ordered the fleet of sailors to return to Huguang Province to the position of the main force of the Han army, and continue to transport troops by water to Zhili.

There are now more than 60,000 elites under Zhu Gaoxu's command. With Taipingzhou City, he was confident that even if the attack was frustrated, it would be no problem to use these men and horses to defend the city for a few months.

Taipingzhou City will become the stronghold of the Han Dynasty's army to attack the Beijing Division!

Zhu Gaoxu was dressed in heavy armor and entered the city gate of Taiping Prefecture under the heavy escort of a large group of horsemen. At this time, the banner of the Han Wangjun had been hung on the city tower, and the cities had been controlled by Wang Bin's department.

"Rumbling ......" Countless iron hooves stepped on the brick floor, and the sound of horses' hooves was very heavy. However, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his body was floating at this time, and the ground around him seemed to be faintly shaking.

He had been on the boat for too long, and the hull was rocking all the time; I'm down-to-earth until now, but I'm still not used to it.

Occasionally, Zhu Gaoxu could still hear the sound of retching, and some soldiers were seasick.

The vanguard army had to be repaired for two days before it could regain its physical strength. And the state officials and generals of Taiping Prefecture City surrendered in a very timely manner! In Zhu Gaoxu's heart, he was grateful to the civil and military forces of this city at this time.

Wang Bin's people had already requisitioned a house, and Zhu Gaoxu, led by the soldiers, came to the temporary gate of the Chinese army.

At this moment, a cavalry rushed to report: "Lord Wang, our scout soldiers have discovered the enemy army!" ”

"Where?" Zhu Gaoxu sat on his horse and asked.

The person came and hugged his fists and said: "The enemy army has left the Beijing division in the morning and is marching south, and the enemy general seems to be Wei Guogong." The brethren in the scout camp estimated that the enemy army might have more than 100,000 cavalry! ”

"I see." Zhu Gaoxu kicked the horse's belly, and immediately turned his head and said, "Continue to send people to investigate and determine who the enemy generals are!" ”

"The last will be ordered!"

Zhu Gaoxu came to the line. He hasn't taken off his armor yet, and after a while, the generals Ping'an, Wang Bin, and Wang?? 14? Tomb Warriors! 1. Shengyan is jealous of the street punishment and beauty poke?/p>

That general, Yin Desheng, performed very well in the Battle of Huguang and was promoted by Zhu Gaoxu again. Now Yin Desheng is the commander of the Yunnan avant-garde, and he is qualified to go to the vanguard army.

Ping An has always loved to laugh and scold, but after learning that the enemy general was Xu Huizu today, he was very silent.

Xu Huizu and Ping An are old. In the battle of Lingbi in the "Battle of Jingyan" that year, Xu Huizu led the Jianwen army to reinforce Ping'an; Although Xu Huizu was later transferred back, Ping An had some friendship with Xu Huizu on the battlefield after all.

On the contrary, Wang Bin said with a sneering expression: "Didn't the person from Jingshi (Gao Xianning) say that Wei Guoxuan was sick? His illness is good and bad, it all depends on us! ”

Yin Desheng asked puzzledly: "Wang Dudu, what does Wei Guogong's illness have to do with us?" ”

Wang Bin said: "We have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Huguang, and Wei Guogong's illness is very serious; At this time, there were only more than 60,000 of us, and Wei Guogong's illness was cured. Doesn't that matter? Our prince is not only both civil and military, but also can cure diseases! ”

Several Wenwu couldn't help laughing out loud, and some people's faces turned red.

Ping'an glanced at Wang Bin, "Wang Dudu's mouth, he learns very quickly." ”

Zhu Gaoxu paced a few steps, turned around and said, "My uncle Wei Guogong leads the troops, maybe it's a good thing!" Wei Guogong is a general, but he has not led troops for many years, and he has never fought with our army in the 'Battle of Crime', and he does not understand our tactics. He was in a hurry to accept orders at the moment, and he couldn't know himself and his enemy, which was a taboo for soldiers. ”

The generals all nodded yes.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "And if Xue Lu and Tan Zhong's generation are transferred back to the Zhili battlefield, their talent and prestige may not be as good as Wei Guogong, but they have suffered big losses in front of us, so they must be prepared." If Xue Lu leads the troops in this battle, our troops are insufficient, and it may not be easy to fight!

In addition, my uncle has always looked at me unpleasantly and has opposed me many times! Over the years, I have also known my uncle better. He is a very stubborn and conservative person, and it is not easy for anyone who wants to change the ideas he firmly believes. In this battle, our army can seize the stubborn weakness of Wei Guogong and make tactical arrangements. ”

Zhu Gaoxu paused and continued: "My uncle also has strengths. By virtue of the prestige of his late father, King Zhongshan, his prestige was great; He came out to command the army, and he should be able to command the enemy generals. Moreover, the guards of the Beijing division and the soldiers of the Beijing battalion are strong and strong, with excellent armor and weapons, and the number of troops is far more than that of our army. Therefore the battle must not be underestimated! ”

All the civil and military officers saluted one after another: "The last general (lower official) and so on, follow the meaning of the prince's words!" ”

Ping'an said: "The prince really understands the temperament of the enemy general. The last will admire! ”

Zhu Gaoxu said quietly: "The most difficult thing for a person to defeat is himself. ”

As he spoke, he slapped his palm on the map on the table and tapped his fingers twice. Everyone approached the table one after another, looking at the map laid on the table.

"Jingshi is more than 100 miles away from Taipingzhou City." Zhu Gaoxu said, "From today onwards, the main force of the enemy army will reach Taipingzhou City in three days at the earliest. It is advisable for us to stay put, let the soldiers repair and recuperate first, and then try to deal with the men and horses of Wei Guogong. ”

The people around him chimed in.

"The last battle!" Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said, "I hope so." ”

If this battle could defeat the more than 100,000 people under Xu Huizu's command, it would be impossible for Hong Xichao to gather any decent army in a short period of time; The military equipment of the Jingshi will be as poor as a beggar. At that time, the war against sin will be completely over.

With successive big victories and the puppet dynasty nest in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu's mood was a little impetuous. Such a mood, like those tightrope walkers, is often planted in the last few steps of the state of mind that is not calm enough.

He constantly adjusted his mood to calm himself down and prepare for the battle with all his might.
