The front army of the Mongolian army has just set off from Yishui, Wu Shaogang got the report of the scout, this time the information is very clear and accurate, the front army of the Mongolian army is about 50,000 people, mainly composed of the new annexed army, led by the Mongolian prince Habichi, the Chinese army is personally commanded by Kublai Khan, the distance between the front army and the Chinese army, about fifty miles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The information reported by the scouts made Cai Siwei and others extremely excited, they never thought that Kublai Khan, who was personally driving the expedition, would actually make such an arrangement, this is not the best opportunity for the Ming army, so that the Ming army can completely defeat the front army of the Mongolian army, and give Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court a blow.

When Wu Shaogang had not yet begun to deploy, Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Zhang Jue, Chang Mingquan, Zhang Shijie and others asked for battle one after another, requesting to lead a large army to completely wipe out the front army of the Mongolian army.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogang hasn't spoken, seeing that it has been three days since the Mongolian army set off from Yishui, and it is about to arrive in Ju County, you must know that Yishui to Ju County is less than two hundred miles.

Opportunities are disappearing little by little, and if you can't seize them, then there is no chance.

Cai Siwei and the others couldn't help it, if the army was not mobilized, they would lose the opportunity to annihilate the former army of the Mongolian army.

In the military tent.

Wu Shaogang looked at the crowd who were quite excited, and his face was very serious.

It's not that Wu Shaogang is willing to lose this opportunity, but after thinking about it carefully, he still decided to give up this opportunity.

Kublai Khan's intentions, Wu Shaogang is very clear, nothing more than 50,000 former troops as bait, in exchange for a decisive battle between the Mongolian army and the Ming army, and the commander of the former army is the Mongolian prince Habichi, this person has never fought with the Ming army, and there is no fear in his heart, but what Kublai Khan is not clear about is that the Ming army's Dingkun cannon and thunder can guarantee the defeat of the Mongolian army's front army in the shortest possible time, and when Kublai Khan leads the Chinese army to rush to help, there is no chance to redeem it.

Wu Shaogang was still worried about the high morale of the Ming army.

It's a bit strange to say, it's said that having high morale is a great thing, so why worry.

In fact, it is not, the high morale represents the contempt of the Ming army soldiers for the Mongolian soldiers in many cases, as well as the belief in victory, but this time the battle is different, it is a battle that determines the fate of the two dynasties, it is the ultimate battle, Wu Shaogang must ensure victory, can not make the slightest mistake, high morale, if a little bit of bad grasp, it is likely to turn into arrogance.

You must know that this time it was a battle commanded by Kublai Khan himself, the elite of the Mongolian army was almost concentrated, and its combat effectiveness was by no means ordinary, you must know that the Mongolian iron cavalry of that year was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of European crusaders with 70,000 people, which is enough to prove its brave combat ability.

In the face of the ultimate battle, Wu Shaogang also became cautious.

The battle of Lianshui County, the Ming army exterminated the army of the Great Yuan Dynasty to conquer the south, which made the soldiers of the Ming army in a high degree of excitement, due to the defeat of the Mongolian army many times, many soldiers of the Ming army, even did not regard the Mongolian army as a strong opponent, it is natural to think that every time facing the Mongolian army, it is to achieve victory.

This idea is very terrifying, once the battle encounters a setback, the morale of the Ming army officers and men who are too high is afraid that it will be difficult to hold on, and there may even be a sudden and uncontrollable rout.

Wu Shaogang understands this truth in his heart, but he also has to explain it clearly to Cai Siwei and others.

There is a more critical point, that is, Wu Shaogang has reminded Cai Siwei and others several times, but he has not received too much attention, after all, the victory in many years of combat has made Cai Siwei and others have enough confidence, and even began to despise the Mongolian army.

It is said that Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui are both deputy marshals, and they should assist Wu Shaogang in commanding the overall affairs, and they should never ask Ying to command the army to exterminate the front army of the Mongolian army, even if the two of them have such thoughts, they should also hold back, give detailed explanations to Zhang Jue and others below, and make comprehensive arrangements.

This is an impetuous atmosphere, and Wu Shaogang, who has crossed it, knows very well that after a thousand years, this impetuous atmosphere has spread everywhere, causing many people to be anxious for quick success and quick profit, and unwilling to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Seeing that Wu Shaogang was very serious, Cai Siwei and the others gradually quieted down, and they also noticed that something was wrong.

Seeing that everyone gradually quieted down and their faces returned to calm, Wu Shao slowly spoke just now.

"I also know that this opportunity is very good, it is said that it should be the first to encircle and suppress the front army of the Mongolian army, even if Kublai Khan has calculated everything, I don't care, the front army of the Mongolian army is mainly composed of new annexed troops, their combat effectiveness is average, it is not very difficult to defeat them, so you all come to ask for battle, I can understand this feeling."

"But I didn't plan to do this, I still decided to face Kublai Khan head-on, even if Kublai Khan had an army of nearly 400,000 people, I would not be afraid."

Seeing everyone's eager and slightly disappointed expressions, Wu Shaogang sighed again in his heart.

"I am not afraid, it does not mean that I do not pay attention, Kublai Khan dared to send the front army first, it was also a decision made after thinking clearly, the Mongolian iron cavalry participating in the battle this time, the total number of people reached 150,000, these 150,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, but not a new annexed army, they have participated in countless battles, their combat effectiveness is extremely strong, even if they encounter heavy losses, and heavy blows, they will not easily withdraw from the battle."

"Look at it the other way, what preparations have the soldiers of the Ming army under my command made, have you ever thought about what to do next if you miss a blow, I see, all the soldiers, including you, are thinking that they can defeat the Mongolian army at once, just like the battle of Lianshui County, the Mongolian army can collapse in the shortest possible time."

"This kind of thinking has penetrated into the hearts of almost every soldier, and many soldiers have high morale and have asked for battle, which is a great thing, but unfortunately I am not optimistic about such a mentality."

"The mourning soldiers will win, this truth, I don't need to say more, the current Mongolian army, is the mourning soldiers, although they are also eager for victory, but they never thought that they could win a complete victory in a battle, and completely defeated the 300,000 Ming army under my command, they just hope that this battle of Shandong can be victorious, can make me retreat, and then they will continue to attack, only to obtain the final victory."

"In terms of mentality, I am already at a disadvantage, if you don't believe me, I ask you a question."

"If there is a defeat in the battle with the Mongolian army, especially in a key battle, how should you respond?"

After Wu Shaogang asked a question, he looked at Cai Siwei.

Cai Siwei was stunned, he didn't think that he would fail at all, how could he fail with the Dingkun Cannon and the Thunderbolt.

Cai Siwei did not answer, and the rest of the people did not answer.

Zhang Wenqian, who was behind Wu Shaogang, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the mourning soldiers will win, and the soldiers under the emperor's command can also become mourning soldiers."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, just said these words, he just wanted to achieve such a goal, in the face of the most formidable opponent so far, only by letting the Ming army soldiers become mourning soldiers, can we truly guarantee a complete victory, maybe this is a little too cautious, but it is much better than carelessly losing Jingzhou.

Cai Siwei and others finally understood a little, it turned out that the emperor meant this, but what to do, everyone still didn't know, even Zhang Wenqian, who opened his mouth to say the key points, couldn't come up with a good way.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke again.

"Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was also known for his courage and good fighting, laid down the Tang Dynasty, you should know it."

Wu Shaogang had just finished speaking, and Lu Wenhuan behind him nodded and spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister understands, first suppress and then promote, and he will be able to cast mourning soldiers."

This time, Wu Shaogang's face really showed a smile.

Li Shimin led the army to fight in those years, and many times faced a tough opponent, and his best way was to stick to it, and constantly arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers under his command, and only when the fighting spirit of the soldiers was about to explode, he began to fight with the opponent, and the soldiers who attacked were like tigers descending from the mountain, and the opponent could not resist at all.

This time, Wu Shaogang also wanted to adopt such a combat method, first suppressing and then promoting, through the strategy of sticking to it, to inspire the greatest fighting spirit of the soldiers, and also to suppress the restless hearts of many soldiers through the method of sticking to it, so that they could really calm down and think about how to fight and kill the enemy next.

The power of the Dingkun cannon and the thunder is indeed not ordinary, but Kublai Khan is also clear, if you don't want to think of any way to deal with it, it is impossible, in this case, let the soldiers under his command think more, how to maximize their own advantages, how to maximize the role of the Dingkun cannon and the thunder, how to completely and cleanly defeat the Mongolian army, destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty, is the best choice, Dingkun cannon, thunder and the fighting spirit of the soldiers, will definitely be able to burst out of extraordinary power, Even the mighty Kublai Khan will not be able to cope with it when the time comes.

Wu Shaogang really thought very far, not only did the battle of Shandong need to be completely won, but after the victory, the army would also attack towards Hebei and Yanjing, and would never give Kublai Khan any respite.

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord, Wu Shaogang remembers this lesson very clearly.

After the holy decree was issued, Cai Siwei and the others left the Zhongjun tent, and they still had lonely expressions on their faces.

Seeing the expressions of Cai Siwei and others, Wu Shaogang's determination was even firmer, he knew very well that change must start with Cai Siwei and others, if the commanders in the army could not have foresight, let alone the officers and sergeants below, I believe that after a period of time, Cai Siwei and others will definitely be able to understand the deep meaning of such an arrangement.
