Chapter 510: The Great Cause Wins the Victory
"Good man, Yunsheng (Zhu Shengzi), you have always been resourceful, I don't know what you can do to break the enemy?"
"My lord, although General Wenzheng's words are heroic, at this time, they are absolutely impossible." Li Shanchang stood up when he heard this, but like Zhu Wenzhong on the side, he vetoed Zhu Wenzheng's method as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, in this regard, Zhu Wenzheng, who had just been scolded by his uncle, didn't dare to say anything more.
Therefore, when he heard Li Shanchang say the same, he just pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what this military advisor's think tank was vetoing him for, and what good strategies he would have to break the enemy.
Just as General Wen Zhong said, "This time is different from the past." With Zhang Shicheng's salt lord character who forgets his life when he sees small profits, and spares his life for big things. If our troops withdraw troops and horses from Jiangyin, Changxing and other places, he will definitely send troops to seize these places.
Maybe even Shaoxing and other places, which had just been conquered by our army, had now been seized by Zhang Shicheng (Huizhou was occupied, and the news was difficult to come for a while). Moreover, the Chu thief is now the time when the morale is strong, and at this time, it is just a matter of temporarily avoiding the edge, and in the decisive battle with the heavy troops, it is not in the hands of the Chu thief.
Therefore, in the next battle, the only strategy that our army can do is to defend it to the death. ”
"Stick to it!" Hearing Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Because he couldn't help but find that Li Shanchang, a wise man who was extremely relied on by himself, thought of it with him again this time. However, although the two of them thought of each other at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang paid a slight attention to the others, but couldn't help but find that not only Zhu Wenzheng frowned at this time and looked puzzled, but even Wang Guangyang and Zhu Wenzhong frowned slightly, and they didn't seem to agree.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but put away the smile on his face, and then began to ask Li Shanchang in a pretended puzzled attitude: "Just like what Shanchang said, the Chu thief is now in high morale, and our army has been defeated in successive battles, how can it stop the Chu thief army just by relying on Dangtu?" ”
"Haha, lord and relieved!" Li Shanchang didn't realize that Zhu Yuanzhang was knowingly asking at this time, so as to press the hearts of his subordinates, and thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was really worried. So I couldn't help laughing, wanting to calm Zhu Yuanzhang's heart first.
"There is a saying that 'just over easy to break'. It is true that the morale of the Chu army is now high, but the more this is the case, the greater the blow to them will definitely be after a small setback in its army. Therefore, in the future, as long as our army can surprise the Chu thieves, the morale of the Chu thieves will definitely be greatly reduced.
At that time, our army will rely on Tu Jiancheng and fortify the city, which will inevitably make the morale of the Chu thieves drop again and again. And when the Chu thief expedition is exhausted, our army will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, on the Central Plains, under the siege of Chakhan Timur, King Xiaoming and Liu Futong were also becoming more and more overwhelmed. Even the capital city of Bianliang fell into the encirclement of the Chahan army.
Zhang Shihua served King Xiao Ming as the master, and received the Holy Decree of King Xiao Ming, if King Xiao Ming issued another 'Holy Decree' to ask him for help, he sat back and ignored it, and he would have betrayed the Lord's order. And at that time, such a traitor, what kind of restraint does he have! ”
"Haha, the good guy said it well. With a good plan, it is not difficult for our army to break the Chu thieves! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this, and at this time, he couldn't help but look like he was winning. But in the end, whether it is really a victory or not, he and Li Shanchang both understand it in their hearts.
Now the morale of the Chu army is high, and there are tens of thousands of troops under his command, not to mention the excellent armor, and all of them are good at fighting elites. Dealing with such a group of thugs, how could it be so easy to make the Chu army a small setback. And then as for King Xiao Ming's request for help and betrayal of the Lord's order, it would be even more nonsense.
Now all the righteous armies in the world are based on King Xiao Ming, but who in the world doesn't know that King Xiao Ming is a puppet supported by Liu Futong at all.
Even Liu Futong, the so-called prince of Xiao Ming, has no respect at all, let alone others. Don't say anything else, just talk about Zhao Jun's killing of Mao Gui not long ago.
You must know that Mao Guike is also a provincial chapter of the Eight Classics. And he was almost successful in the Northern Expedition, a leader of the rebel army admired by the rebels all over the world.
After such a heroic man was killed by Zhao Junyong with this villain, Liu Futong and King Xiaoming also appointed Zhao Junyong as Shandong Pingzhang, and recognized Zhao Junyong as the self-proclaimed King of Yongyi.
Not to mention that Zhang Shihua, who is in a good situation, will not care, when Zhu Yuanzhang was the self-proclaimed prince before, how could he care about what King Xiaoming and Liu Futong thought.
But in the end, they have reached a critical moment of life and death, so in order to be able to survive this crisis, they are willing to grasp the lighter straw.
So in the next, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but forcibly pretend to be happy with the victory, and looked at the people in the hall: "Gentlemen, everything is as good as the words of the good." This catastrophe was only a small setback for our army.
I believe that as long as I am united with you, I will work as one. Then it will definitely not be a problem for us to defeat the Chu thief. ”
After saying this, looking at the subordinates who had already mustered up their courage a little, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but order while the iron was hot: "Wenzheng, then you will temporarily lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to stay in Jinling." Guangyang, Yang Xian, the two of you will use Wen Zheng him.
As for Shanchang and Wenzhong, you will lead the army with me to support Dangtu. In this battle, I will definitely let the Chu thief Zhang Shihua see my Zhu Yuanzhang's methods! ”
"Yes, the ministers obey!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, the people who had already been unified in their thinking had nothing to say, so they agreed to it.
So next, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang couldn't help but start explaining the details to everyone. It was not until the afternoon that the military council officially adjourned. Then everyone didn't dare to delay for a moment to go down and prepare.
……
In the nineteenth year of the Zhizheng, the fifteenth day of the seventh month.
On this day, it's Halloween again. However, this so-called Halloween Festival is different from Qingming, and in the end it is spontaneous among the people.
Therefore, the influence in the land of China is really not large, except for the people in various places who will worship the souls of their ancestors on this day, the people in the rest of the places still do what they want. Especially the hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers and horses who are always ready to attack Dangtu, especially if they are sharpening their knives.
No, at night, when Jiangxin Island outside Tucheng was in the Chu army camp of Nuoda, Zhang Shihua's Chinese army tent was still on the agenda.
"This time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the Wu thieves, came in person, and it is obvious that the Wu thieves were really scared by our army this time. And as long as this battle, our army can win another round, and if you want to come to the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will be considered in the pocket of our army. ”
At night, I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang personally led 30,000 reinforcements to come, and then climbed to the top of the city to boost morale. Therefore, when it was night, Zhang Shihua, who was not at ease, couldn't help but gather the lieutenant generals under his command again and began a military discussion.
Therefore, Fang Cai's words are also the comforting words of Zhao Ziyu, who can see that Zhang Shihua is deeply worried about this.
However, even after hearing Zhao Ziyu's comforting words, Zhang Shihua still couldn't help but be very worried.
After all, this time he had to face the only two people in the original feudal history who established the imperial hegemony with the body of cloth.
Even though he heard Zhao Ziyu's words of comfort, Zhang Shihua still didn't dare to let go of his worries.
"Zhu Yuanzhang is extraordinary, he started from scratch and made such a big family business surrounded by strong enemies in just a short record, which shows that this person is extraordinary. In the face of him, you must be vigilant and must not be arrogant. ”
Even though Zhang Shihua still didn't know how many times he said this, he still couldn't help but say it again with a serious look at this time.
Therefore, seeing this, although the generals in the tent were a little confused, they still hurriedly nodded and should claim to be.
"Our army is now in high morale, while the Wu army is demoralized. This time, Zhu Yuanzhang took the risk to come here in person, and I think in addition to boosting the low morale of the Wu army, it is estimated that he also had the intention of saving the situation by setting back our army a little.
And the Wu army is not as good as me now, and the combat strength is not as good as mine, so I will not dare to go out of the city to fight with our army in the field, but will win by surprise. So you wait for the next step, and give me a good idea of my own headquarters. Now, at the critical moment of the decisive victory of the two armies, this king does not want anything to go wrong at this time.
If you wait for the next setback of our army due to your own mistakes, and give the Wu army a chance to take advantage of, don't blame this king for not caring about the past. ”
"Yes, the ministers must be cautious and never careless."
When hearing Zhang Shihua analyzing tactics, he didn't forget to emphasize this, and under the repeated orders, the expressions of the generals present couldn't help but become more serious. While agreeing to it, I couldn't help but feel the idea that I must mention some of my subordinates after I go back.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"When Tu, this city is the county of Jiangsu, Zhejiang. The city is tall, and there is an urn not to mention the horse face of the city, because it is near the river, and there are also two water gates in the west of the city. Now, although these two water gates have been sealed by the Wu army, in the future, the main attack of our army will still be in the west of the city.
Only in this way can our army give full play to the power of dominance on the water that our army has won with great difficulty. Therefore, Li Wuhui led more than 20,000 army soldiers and horses to garrison the south of the city to assist our army, and you and the others fought a complete battle.
In addition, the Wu army was defeated in successive battles, the elite troops suffered heavy losses, and the neighboring Hezhou was also without soldiers and soldiers, which was not worth mentioning. Therefore, as long as our army fights steadily and steadily, it will be an easy thing to conquer.
As for tomorrow's battle, Yuzhen, you will lead the three armies of loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty as the vanguard of this battle. Remember, tomorrow will give me the prestige of our army! ”
"Yes, please rest assured that the minister will definitely make the Wu thief lose the heart to compete with our army."
When Ming Yuzhen heard this, she didn't think about it and took the next position as a pioneer. The bold words released are full of confidence.
Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded, encouraged Ming Yuzhen a few words, and couldn't help but explain some details to them again. After knowing more than an hour, he waved his hand and asked the generals to retreat one after another.
And after all the subordinates retreated and carefully recalled that they had not missed anything, Zhang Shihua, who was in a slightly calm mood, looked in the direction of Dangtu Cheng from afar, but he still had no intention of sleeping.
"Zhu Yuanzhang, you may not know that the person I admired the most was you. But you and I have already embarked on a road of no return, either you lose or I die. And I, since God has chosen me, the one of the Hereafter, to come here, I will certainly not fail, I will not! ”
Zhang Shihua clenched his fists, his nails pierced his skin, and he didn't notice the blood left from his palm.
……
Early the next morning, July 16, the decisive battle finally began.
There is no customary pre-battle surrender, because everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the troops to come this time, and it is obviously impossible to have any hope of surrendering. At least until the two sides really decide the winner, Zhu Yuanzhang will not surrender to Zhang Shihua.
So there was no hesitation, and in the scorching summer, the Chu army directly launched an attack.
The Wu army's sailor troops were defeated in the Wuhu Dalongwo, and there was no sailor force that could threaten the Chu army, so this time on the river, the Chu army could be said to have no scruples.
Ships full of artillery formed a formation under the command of Ming Yuzhen, a vanguard general, and then hundreds of artillery pieces began to bombard the Dangtu Wu army.
However, this time, the Wu army was not like when they were beaten by the Chu army in Wuhu and had no power to fight back.
But in order to be able to resist the artillery of the Chu army, Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized all the artillery that could be mobilized under his rule to Dangtu.
Therefore, when Tu City is on it, there are more than 300 cannons.
Therefore, for a while, the artillery fire on both sides came and went, and the fighting was not lively.
But as the attacking side, Ming Yuzhen and them obviously couldn't just use artillery to fight against the Wu army. Therefore, after discovering that the artillery was difficult to suppress the Tu Wu army for a while, Ming Yuzhen couldn't help but send the elite under his tent and let them take a small boat to see if they could seize the two water gates that were blocked by the Wu army's iron gates.
"Crossbowmen, firecrackers ready, give me guns and arrows!"
In the city, seeing that the Chu army had such a new move, under the command of Wu general Xu Da, the Wu army on the west city wall immediately launched a fierce counterattack.
Although there are now 50,000 Wu troops in the city, only half of the veterans who have been in the battle array are left. But because they have plenty of bows and crossbows and firearms in their hands, the combat power of these new pawns in defending the city is not weak.
Therefore, for a time, it was difficult for the brave Chu army in a small boat to approach the Dangtu Water Gate.
