Chapter 477: The Brilliant Battle (6)

Ah Shu finally felt Wu Shaogang's power, this was no longer an ordinary feeling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The scouts sent found a large number of Ming troops in the area of Chenzhuang, which is the necessary place for the Mongolian army to withdraw to Lianghuai, that is to say, the Ming army has blocked the road for the Mongolian army to withdraw to Lianghuai, if it is forcibly evacuated at this time, it must encounter the Ming army's front and rear attacks, and the outcome must be a big defeat.

Ah Shu didn't dare to make such a bet, knowing that he would lose the ending, no one would rashly accept and practice it.

Before Ah Shu and his staff could think of what to do next, the scouts came again to report that a large number of Ming troops were already heading towards Lianshui County, and they were about to surround the entire county.

Hearing the scout's report, Ah Shu was almost about to jump up, he originally thought that the Ming army was just trying to defeat the army under his command, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, Wu Shaogang's formation is to completely annihilate the army under his command.

How much courage is needed to do this, and how many troops need to be mobilized.

Ah Shu felt that he was in a dream, what kind of person was that Wu Shaogang, with such great ability and such a powerful belly, could it be that he didn't know that he had an army of 150,000 under Ah Shu.

At this moment, Ah Shu's mind was full of anger, he cursed Wu Shaogang's arrogance, cursed the arrogance of the Ming army, think about his Ah Shu is also a member of the Great Yuan Imperial Court, a general, famous, destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, could it be that in the eyes of Wu Shaogang, is it a person who can be completely exterminated.

Ah Shu decided to break the cauldron and sink the boat, so he simply didn't leave, and stuck to Lianshui County, just now in the battle of Jincheng Town, the loss of troops was only more than 10,000 people, and there were nearly 140,000 people under his command, could it be that these 140,000 people couldn't hold the city.

Ah Shu is also sober, he quickly wrote a letter to Prince Hedan, informed him of the current situation, and implored Prince Hedan to lead the army to come to help, this time Ah Shu's performance is indeed low-key, and his words are also very humble, because Ah Shu is clear, under the current situation, it is Prince Hedan who can save him.

Since he wants to exterminate the army under his command of Ashu, then the main force of the battle must be inclined to the area of Lianshui County, and the Ming army that blocked Prince Hedan's rush to help, the combat effectiveness should be average, as long as Prince Hedan attacks with all his might, then the two Mongolian armies have a chance to turn, and there is a chance to completely defeat Wu Shaogang and the Ming army.

The importance of this letter for help is self-evident, and Ashu sent not only scouts, but also the bravest guards around him, instructing them to hand over the letter to Prince Hedan no matter what difficulties they encountered.

After doing all this, Ah Shu began to arrange the deployment of the city to defend the city.

According to Ashu's estimate, the focus of the Ming army's attack should be the south gate, the rest of the west gate, the east gate and the north gate, the sergeants who placed part of it can be defended, and the city is not big, even if the Ming army changes the city gate of the attack, it is too late for the army to be mobilized in the city, so the south gate deployed 50,000 troops, and the rest of the west gate, east gate and north gate, each deployed 10,000 troops, and the rest of the troops are used as mobile forces, ready to help.

In the process of arranging the deployment, the sergeants began to demolish many houses in the city, transporting stones to the city walls, timber was used to block the south gate to prevent the Ming army from rushing through the city gates, and the remaining three city gates also transported a large amount of wood and a small amount of stones.

Four return cannons are placed on the city wall, the city wall of Lianshui County is not big, the huge return cannon is not easy to place, and the rest of the return cannon is placed about 20 meters away from the city wall.

While still in the process of deployment, the scouts came to report that the Ming army was about to arrive in Lianshui County.

Ah Shu himself went up to the city wall and saw the yellow sand in the distance.

This meant that the great armies of the Ming army were about to arrive.

At this moment, Ah Shu has become very calm, since he has made up his mind to hold on, there is no need to hesitate so much, it is the best choice to wait for rescue in the city.

Ah Shu's order was immediately conveyed, all the soldiers must do their best to defend it, not to waver in the slightest, violators will be beheaded, and Ah Shu himself will also be at the forefront of the battle.

Wu Shaogang followed the army to Lianshui County.

Scouts continue to report news, there is no movement outside Lianshui County, the city gate has been completely closed, the drawbridge has been pulled up high, there is no Mongolian army to evacuate, the movement in the city is very large, can be heard from afar.

The scout's report made Wu Shaogang more calm and confident, everything was carried out according to his predetermined plan, at this time, the Dingkun cannon was about to play an unimaginable role for ordinary people.

Wu Shaogang's order was also issued immediately, Zhang Jue led an army of 40,000, leaving 20,000 people to hold Chenzhuang, and the remaining 20,000 people quickly gathered in the direction of Lianshui County, so that the strength of attacking Lianshui County reached nearly 80,000.

There were not many sergeants left in Jincheng Town, and they were mainly responsible for guarding the prisoners of the Mongol army, as well as guarding and so on.

The Chinese military tent was set up ten miles away from Lianshui County.

The sergeant set up the tent as quickly as possible, and many maps were hung around for Wu Shaogang to analyze.

Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian and others, there are not too many matters, they follow Wu Shaogang's side, as for Cai Siwei and others, it is the busiest time, they need to arrange the deployment of the attack on the city, especially the placement of the Dingkun cannon, we must choose a good location, so that the Dingkun cannon can exert its greatest power.

When the guards were still busy, Wu Shaogang opened his mouth with a smile.

"Lord Hao, Lord Zhang, everything is going according to our expectations, it seems that the total annihilation of the Mongolian army under Ah Shu's command can be bigger, I hope Ah Shu can stick to the city, give up breaking through to Lianghuai, I can't imagine that Ah Shu really obeys the command, and really guards the Lianshui County City, so that even if he has wings, he can't fly away."

Hao Jing and Zhang Wenqian had already understood Wu Shaogang's plan, and all that was left in their hearts was admiration.

The battle is arranged to such a detailed extent, and almost every step of the opponent's plan is expected, and no matter how strong the opponent is, he can only accept defeat.

This time, tragedy befell Ashu.

You must know that this Ashu has become a rare general in the Great Yuan Imperial Court, leading the army to conquer the south to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, exterminating the army of hundreds of thousands of the Great Song Dynasty, and also escorting everyone in the Great Song royal family, preparing to go to the capital to ask for merit.

I'm afraid that Ah Shu no longer has this opportunity.

"Your Highness, there is one thing that is not very clear, why did Your Highness think of Ah Shu to defend Lianshui County before the battle began."

Wu Shaogang looked at Hao Jing, his expression was a little meaningful.

"Every commander in command of the operation, the heart is ambitious, once many battles have been won, it is a little pretentious, Ah Shu has been suffering from the tempering of the character, think about his father Wuliang Hetai encountered Kublai Khan's rejection, and in the process of the battle was captured by us, this is a great shame for Ah Shu, his heart must want to come out, want to prove his ability, not only so that he can stand in the world, but also let Wuliang Hetai be able to raise his head."

"Destroying the Great Song Dynasty made Ah Shu confident, but at the same time he became arrogant, he didn't believe that we dared to encircle and suppress the army under his command, after all, it was more than 200,000 people, such a huge team, I am afraid that few people dared to think about encircling and annihilating."

"By now, our combat intentions, presumably Ah Shu fully understood, in fact, we entered Shandong to fight, and the biggest purpose was to completely exterminate the Mongol army's southern army."

"Understand our combat intentions, think about it, what kind of feeling does Ah Shu feel, as the top general of the Great Yuan Imperial Court, he has encountered such calculations and contempt, will Ah Shu feel better in his heart, will he be willing, no."

"Since you are unwilling, the only thing you can do is to resist desperately, to prove your ability."

"In this case, will Ah Shu easily choose to evacuate, of course, there is another point, the army led by Zhang Jue marched very fast, and its vanguard arrived in Chenzhuang, I am afraid that it was detected by the scouts sent by Ah Shu, which made Ah Shu understand that his retreat has been completely blocked by us, and if the army is all driven out, I am afraid that it will encounter an unpredictable fiasco."

"What I bet on is Ah Shu's self-confidence and arrogance, if he leads an army of more than 100,000 and chooses to forcibly evacuate from Chenzhuang regardless of everything, I am afraid that he will be able to break through many people, but now it is not necessarily, since Ah Shu is so confident, I believe that he can hold on to Lianshui County, then let Ah Shu see how long he can hold on."

。。。

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, Zhang Wenqian quickly spoke.

"Your Highness, the lower official expects that in no more than three days, the army will be able to capture Lianshui County."

Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Wenqian, he didn't speak, he didn't dare to predict three days, he didn't expect Zhang Wenqian to predict.

"Your Royal Highness, there is a reason why the lower official made such an prediction, when the sergeant guarded the Lianshui County Pool, he figured out everything in the city, Lianshui County Pool, the weakest is actually the South Gate, the city wall of the South Gate, in disrepair, looks solid on the outside, but in fact, it is vulnerable, the soldiers who were stationed at the beginning planned to repair the city, but it was stopped, at that time the lower officials did not understand very well, and today they finally understand the meaning."

Wu Shaogang looked at Zhang Wenqian and nodded slightly.

In fact, Zhang Wenqian said this matter, Wu Shaogang really didn't know, the city wall is in disrepair, such a thing is very common, presumably Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court will not take out a lot of money to repair the city wall of an indifferent county, and Wu Shaogang will not do such a thing.

It's just such bad luck that he was bumped into by Ah Shu, doesn't this mean that Ah Shu should die.
