Chapter 523: The Battle Officially Begins

The war in Bao'an County attracted the attention of the world, especially the northern capital of Mingguo.

Now Cai Wenzhuo has woken up, his injuries are recovering well, and he can speak normally, although he is still far away from walking on the ground, he must not be able to die, and a large number of troops have been lined up around Cai Wenzhuo's mansion to prevent the assassin from making a comeback like last time.

Cai Wenzhuo was lying on his back on the bed, surrounded by several generals, including Zhu Aoqing and Liu Changman, who were Cai Wenzhuo's right-hand men.

"How's the war going in Bao'an County?"

Cai Wenzhuo asked.

"Prime Minister, the Holy Dynasty has captured nineteen cities so far, and has garrisoned more than 500,000 troops in the area of Qianzhu Mountain, which is huge; And Wang Xu personally sat in Qianzhu Mountain, commanded the battle, and was in a state of confrontation with the Eastern Capital army under the mountain, and it was possible to fight together at any time. ”

Zhu Aoqing said: "The Eastern Capital has also captured more than 20 cities, leaving 300,000 troops east of Qianzhu Mountain, ready to start a decisive battle with the Holy Dynasty. ”

"Prime Minister, do you expect which of them will win?"

Hearing this, Cai Wenzhuo said: "This is not easy to predict, the current Eastern Capital is not the imperial court of the past, and the strength of the Holy Dynasty Army is on par, if they are in a war, they are also looking forward to it." ”

Suddenly thinking of Hu Guo, Cai Wenzhuo asked, "What about Gao Quan?" Gao Quan did not join the war in Bao'an County? ”

Liu Changman said: "No, the latest information, Gao Quan just let Hu Guoda's general Gu Li lead an army of 200,000 troops to be stationed at the border, and then there is no news, and he doesn't care about Bao'an County at all." ”

"Gao Quan deserves to be the prime minister of Hu State."

Cai Wenzhuo took a deep breath and said.

Everyone nodded, now everyone knows Cai Wenzhuo's intention to withdraw the army, and everyone agrees with this, and secretly says that Cai Wenzhuo is clever.

Now Gao Quan's actions are similar to those of the Northern Capital, so everyone also admires Gao Quan.

"Since it is like fighting if you don't fight, then how can the Holy Dynasty be..."

Liu Changman said.

His meaning is obvious, since it is better not to fight than to fight. So why fight? Couldn't the holy pilgrims think of this?

This is also what all the generals mean, they all want to know what Wang Xu thinks, why is he willing to be that shield? Charging forward for Hu and Ming, knowing that Hu and Ming were enjoying the benefits. But also willingly.

Cai Wenzhuo said: "You don't know this, for Wang Xu, except for the threat to him in the eastern capital, our two countries are foils, and he doesn't take us seriously at all." Therefore, he can't let the Eastern Capital get Bao'an County, in that case, the Eastern Capital will be extremely strong, the situation will get out of control, and even the Holy Dynasty will not be able to destroy the Eastern Capital. ”

"Anyone can get Bao'an County, but the most powerful party cannot, that is, the Eastern Capital!"

"Just imagine, if the Holy Dynasty does not come forward, then the Eastern Capital will definitely take Bao'an County directly, and then the troops will go to the imperial capital. The power is strong and difficult to resist. ”

Zhu Aoqing said on the side: "Prime Minister, are you overestimating the strength of the Eastern Capital?" In my opinion, if we fight with all our might, we may not lose! ”

"You will never understand the power of their advanced weapons, just these two days, they will definitely call Zhan, take this opportunity, you can take a good look, the strength of the Eastern Capital is even Wang Xu is afraid of. How can you underestimate him? ”

Cai Wenzhuo said.

Zhu Aoqing nodded: "No." ”

At this time, a Yulin army walked in: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty has come to see you." ”

Hearing this, Cai Wenzhuo waved his hand. Lie down completely and bother to pay attention.

Seeing this, Zhu Aoqing said to the Yulin army: "The prime minister is gone, let the little emperor go back, from now on, you will guard the Golden Palace." Without the Prime Minister's order, he was not allowed to leave half a step. ”

"No."

Yu Linjun didn't hesitate and said.

The Yulin Army retreated, and everyone present lowered their heads. In their hearts, although they all look forward to Cai Wenzhuo, they always feel a little awkward to treat the emperor like this, however, Zhu Aoqing and Liu Changman don't care, they don't have a good impression of that emperor, especially after Cai Wenzhuo's accident, the two have never been in court, and Huang Quan of the Ming Kingdom exists in name only.

At this moment, in the hearts of the military and people of the Northern Capital, Cai Wenzhuo has been regarded as the only task compared to the emperor, although he is not the emperor yet, but he is better than the emperor.

.............

A new day.

Morning.

That night, when the wind slowly receded and the sun first rose, the battle of Qianzhushan began.

The commander of the first regiment under Lan Yue, named Tian Liang, Tian Liang completely set up the formation, and ordered the first battalion of three hundred rifles to move forward, and behind the three hundred rifles, dozens of soldiers pushed ten red-coated cannons forward, this is the artillery platoon of the first regiment, there are only ten cannons, and this trip is to assist the first battalion in attacking.

"Set the Yuan."

"Fire!"

With the herald's order, ten red-coated cannons smashed up the hill, and at the same time, the three hundred rifles advanced, although slowly, but the effect was obvious.

Halfway up the mountain, seeing that the enemy was already starting to attack, Lin Fei, the commander of the first regiment, rolled his eyes.

"What is this enemy doing? Is it useful to start firing so far away from us? ”

Ding Niu beside him also laughed: "This enemy is too stupid, when will it be able to attack like this, it's the first time I've seen such a tentative attack." ”

In fact, the ten cannons fired from the mountains, and the farthest distance they hit could not attack Lin Fei's position, however, Tian Liang didn't know this, because the distance of the red-clothed cannons was more than four hundred meters, and Lin Fei's position was set outside the firing range, about six hundred meters.

This position is also carefully calculated, if the enemy wants to attack this position, then the enemy's infantry unit will definitely enter the range of the artillery regiment on the top of the mountain, and when the time comes, the artillery battle will be carried out, and the soldiers and horses of the Holy Dynasty will definitely not suffer.

"Ignore him, inform all fighters, be on guard, and once you are in range, return fire immediately."

"Yes."

Ding Niu answered, turned around and went to give the order.

.......

Minutes and seconds passed, until an hour later...

Although Tian Liang was the commander of the regiment, he personally led the team, and while ordering the 300 rifle team of the first battalion to move forward, he himself followed closely with the rest of the soldiers and horses.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the mountain, and immediately after, the battle officially began, and the soldiers of the first battalion under Lin Fei fought back, all aiming at the bottom of the mountain and firing at the bottom of the mountain.

At the same time, on the top of the mountain, Wang Xu was watching all this with a telescope in his hand, and he was followed by Ye Minyan, Zhang Meng, Fu Xu, and several lieutenants.

"The enemy's desire to attack Qianzhu Mountain is tantamount to a fool's dream."

Wang Xu said abruptly. (To be continued.) )
