On June 27, the army led by Wu Shaogang arrived in Linyi County, which was under the jurisdiction of Yizhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the way to the march, Wu Shaogang learned a lot of news about the Mongolian army, a large number of Mongolian troops gathered near Jinan Mansion, a small part of the Mongolian army has begun to enter Juzhou, and Zhang Jue and others, who are temporarily in charge of the command, also sent a small number of Ming army sergeants into Juzhou, both sides are very careful to avoid direct collision.

This also means that the next fight is face-to-face, there is not too much strategy, and the fight is strength.

Comparatively speaking, the Ming army has a psychological advantage, and the Ming army relies on the Dingkun cannon and thunder, which makes the Mongolian army afraid, and the battle of attacking the city, the Dingkun cannon can exert great power, forming an absolute overwhelming advantage, and the battle in the field, the power of the thunder also makes the Mongolian army soldiers fearful, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not weak, so when the two sides face each other, the advantage is naturally on the side of the Ming army.

The gap between a complete cold weapon and a semi-cold weapon and a semi-hot weapon is still huge, and in this regard, Wu Shaogang, who has crossed through, is very clear.

However, the Mongol iron cavalry is indeed brave in combat, they move quickly, their individual combat ability is very strong, and they are fully adapted to the harsh environment, so they occupy an absolute advantage in almost all field battles.

It's a pity that Wu Shaogang and the Ming army will not give the Mongolian iron cavalry so many advantages that they can play.

Hundreds of thousands of thunderbolts are used to deal with the Mongolian iron cavalry, although the cost of each thunderstorm is close to one or two silver, and the thunderbolts thrown out are the silver thrown out, but in order to win the battle, Wu Shaogang will not care about these consumption, and in view of the characteristics of the Mongolian iron cavalry's fast moving speed, the Dingkun army sergeant also carried out special training, that is, how to bomb the fast-moving target, although this is also a huge consumption, after a period of training, the Dingkun army sergeant also has a lot of experience, At the very least, the Dingkun cannon was able to pose a great threat to the fast-moving Mongol cavalry.

As for the new annexed army, Wu Shaogang didn't particularly care.

Today's new annexed army, not only the problem of low combat effectiveness, but also the key is psychological problems, the Ming army has defeated the new annexed army countless times, has formed a huge shadow in the new annexed army, when facing the Ming army, the new annexed army is as afraid as the Song army met the Mongolian army, and the power of the Dingkun cannon has become a myth in the new annexed army.

In the final analysis, the main opponents of Wu Shaogang and the Ming army were the Mongol iron cavalry, including Kublai Khan.

Information came one after another, Kublai Khan's royal expedition, most of the affairs in the imperial court, temporarily by the Prince of Moge, Prince Hedan, Prince Habichi and Wuliang Hetai and others, all followed Kublai Khan to Shandong to conquer, Tachar is continued to be responsible for the affairs of the Mobei grassland, Kublai Khan asked Haidu to help some of the soldiers, but in the end did not negotiate, Haidu only promised a temporary truce between the two sides, but was unwilling to provide a soldier, which made Kublai Khan very helpless, and there was no good way to deal with it.

Wu Shaogang was surprised at the same time, but also knew that Kublai Khan was ready to break the cauldron and sink the boat, you must know that Kublai Khan, although he is a generation of heroes, but because he has encountered many calculations, experienced tragic power games, and even threats to life, he takes power very seriously, even if it is the closest person around him, he will not fully trust, this time Kublai Khan drove his own expedition and actually let Prince Moge be in charge of the affairs of the court, which shows that he has made a great determination.

Therefore, Wu Shaogang can conclude that the battle of Shandong will be the ultimate battle, if the Ming army wins this battle, it will be difficult for Kublai Khan to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and even Yanjing, and it is very likely to retreat to the Mobei grassland, and the foundation established for many years may be destroyed, but if the Mongolian army wins the battle of Shandong, according to Kublai Khan's character, he will never give up, and will definitely chase and kill desperately until he obtains a complete victory.

It is rare for a battle to decide the fate of two dynasties.

However, this kind of battle is also in line with Wu Shaogang's thoughts, he was born in the military, and he has always liked to do things simply.

Linyi county, county office.

It has become the temporary establishment of the Ming Army's supreme headquarters, and most of the people in the county have moved away, or to the countryside for temporary refuge, or to Pizhou and other places, and there are not many people in the city.

The army was stationed in the barracks outside the city, and the sergeants who entered the city were either the guards around Wu Shaogang or the officers with unusual status.

It is also said that Wu Shaogang is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, the emperor came to Linyi County, commanding a battle that determines the life and death of the Ming Dynasty, if there is any accident, then the Ming Dynasty will face a catastrophe, at such a critical moment, the safety of the emperor is the first, and the others are on the side.

There is a map on the table, and a sand table is placed on the right side of the table.

Everyone had been talking quietly for a while, and when they saw the emperor enter the house, they immediately quieted down.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke unhurriedly.

"Kublai Khan has arrived in the city of Jinan, how many Mongolian troops are under his command, I don't know for the time being, but I don't care about all this, from the deployment of the Mongolian army, Kublai Khan also wants to be able to fight in Juzhou, Yishui and Juxian two places, it is very likely to become the main battlefield, this time the Ming army and the Mongolian army are fighting face to face, there is not much strategy, what is fighting is strength."

"The key to this battle, I don't want to say more, the deployment that should be done, all in place, 300,000 troops in Linyi County for three days to rest, three days later, scouts within these three days, must investigate the situation in Juzhou, especially the situation of the Mongolian army entering Juzhou, with the assistance of the Intelligence Agency, Kublai Khan sent the Mongolian sergeants into Juzhou, in fact, it was also investigating."

"Knowing that the enemy is invincible, this battle, the Ming army still has to strive to occupy the initiative, at least don't wait for the Mongolian army to attack, I mean, in Ju County to start a fight with the Mongolian army, to choose a good location, the army is all deployed in Ju County, do not go to Yishui, Yishui north of Yidufu, west of Tai'an, all occupied by the Mongolian army, if the Ming army goes deep into Yishui, in the terrain, there is no slightest advantage, Ju County is just in the middle of the position, back to Yizhou and Haizhou, these places are all occupied by us, In this way, when fighting with the Mongolian army, he did not worry about a sneak attack from behind. ”

"The specific operational deployment is very important, after the battle begins, all kinds of situations will appear, our army is stationed in Juxian, and the Mongolian army is very likely to be stationed in Yishui, but I am not in a hurry, I will not take the initiative to go to Yishui to fight, I believe that Kublai Khan is unable to hold his breath, after all, the number of troops under Kublai Khan is more, and the consumption is greater, besides, Kublai Khan has always looked down on the Ming army, and I am afraid that he will not wait to find me to fight."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Cai Siwei.

"Cai Siwei, you can tell me about the specific combat deployment."

Cai Siwei nodded, pointed to the map, and began to explain in detail.

Many generals left the wing room one after another to make relevant preparations.

Wu Shaogang walked out of the wing room slowly, and Lu Wenhuan followed him.

"Master Lu, what do you think about this battle, just say it."

Lu Wenhuan looked at Wu Shaogang, a little scared, as a former high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty who had been subordinated to the Great Yuan Dynasty, Lu Wenhuan still had some psychological shadows, this time he was able to follow the emperor to Shandong to fight, it was already unexpected, I didn't expect the emperor to ask for advice alone.

"Your Majesty, the sinners don't dare to talk nonsense."

Wu Shaogang looked at Lu Wenhuan, whose face was a little pale, and spoke again.

"It is human nature to pursue advantages and disadvantages, I will not think about the past things, nor will I mention it, you are different from Lu Wende, you have guarded Xiangyang Mansion for many years, the Mongolian army is helpless, and it cannot be captured, if it is not for the changes in the court, Xiangyang Mansion will still hold on, you can use inferior forces to block the attack of the Mongolian army for several years, this is not simple, I have long said that the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed in his own hands, this way of marching, I know that you have some ideas, you might as well say it all."

Lu Wenhuan's body trembled for a moment, and after a little thought, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time to fight with the Mongolian army, you need to play the role of Dingkun cannon and thunder, the Mongolian iron cavalry is indeed brave in battle, but they are flesh and blood, and they can't resist the bombardment of artillery at all, so the minister concluded that it is a matter of time before the emperor wins a complete victory."

When Lu Wenhuan said this, he was still decent, and many people have said these words.

Sure enough, Lu Wenhuan quickly spoke again.

"What the minister is worried about is what to do after the victory, the minister's advice is that you must hold on tightly, even if Kublai Khan retreats to the Mobei grassland, you must follow and chase down, and you must not let it escape, if Kublai Khan escapes, it must be a big trouble for the imperial court. . . ."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, in fact, there are already such words in the imperial court, that is, after the complete defeat of the Mongolian army, the imperial court will start to stabilize the northern and southern regions, as for whether to completely pursue Kublai Khan, no one has put forward specific suggestions.

Wu Shaogang is clear about beating the water dogs, he will never let Kublai Khan go, even if Kublai Khan escapes to the ends of the earth, this is not Wu Shaogang's ruthlessness, but what the court must do for stability.

Lu Wenhuan's suggestion is in line with Wu Shaogang's thoughts.

"Master Lu, what you said is right, I will not let Kublai Khan go, no matter what the price is, I will capture or kill Kublai Khan alive, and the sea capital of the Mobei grassland, I will not let go either, the grassland is stable, the Central Plains can be stable, only when it is truly stable, can I do things with peace of mind."
