When the Mongol army arrived in Chenzhuang, almost all the Ming soldiers believed that the war was about to begin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Between the county seat of Juxian County and Chenzhuang, it is a plain terrain of Pingchuan, there are almost no hills around, and there is no place to hide or carry out a sneak attack.

To everyone's surprise, three days passed, everything was calm, except for the Mongolian army and the Ming army stationed around Juxian and Chenzhuang respectively, no one could see that a fierce battle was about to begin, and neither side even sent a small army to probe.

Ming army barracks, Chinese military tents.

Wu Shaogang was unusually calm, and he had no intention of attacking the Mongolian army at all, although the Dingkun army had made all preparations, and the muzzle of the Dingkun cannon was also aimed in the direction of Chen Zhuang.

The two armies are more than ten miles apart, so it is impossible for the Dingkun cannon to exert much power, Zhang Binghui and others are very clear that the distance of the Dingkun cannon to exert the maximum power is about five miles, as for the thunder, it is possible to exert its power in close combat.

Relatively speaking, Cai Siwei and others are in a highly nervous mood, such an important and critical battle, they will never be negligent, after a few days in a row, Cai Siwei and others finally understood part of the emperor's intentions, and began to persuade those emotional officers and soldiers under their command.

The daily deliberations to analyze the situation continued, but the discussion of when to attack never took place.

Such an atmosphere is very torturous, and even Zhang Wenqian, Lu Wenhuan and others feel unbearable.

The purpose of the emperor's personal expedition is to completely defeat and exterminate the Mongol army, and then destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty.

In fact, Wu Shaogang was also anxious, seeing that the Mongolian army had already driven over, and the war was about to begin, but the Mongolian army had no intention of taking the initiative to attack at all, to say that Kublai Khan's purpose was very clear, that is, he wanted to defeat him Wu Shaogang and dominate the world, and now the opportunity has come, but Kublai Khan just didn't make any moves.

It can be seen from this that Kublai Khan is really not an ordinary opponent, and people can calm down.

In this case, Kublai Khan will not rashly attack, but will wait until the time is right, and then suddenly launch an attack, so as to maximize the power of Dingkun cannon and thunder, so that the Mongolian army can minimize casualties.

The Ming army took the initiative to attack, which is also not established, after all, the Dingkun cannon has been arranged, and its best range is ten miles away from the Ming army barracks.

Three days have passed, and Wu Shaogang has been thinking about how to deal with it.

The high morale of the soldiers cannot be suppressed for a long time, so when the big war really comes, it is estimated that there will be a situation of low morale, then it will really outweigh the losses, and the tense atmosphere is also spreading in the army, we must find a way to dissolve this tense atmosphere, and the best way to resolve it is to start a fight with the Mongolian army.

When discussing tomorrow, we must talk about the offensive, even if we will not take the initiative to attack for the time being, we must have arrangements for the next step, otherwise Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and others will not be able to hold their breath, let alone others.

When Lu Wenhuan entered the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang, who had a calm face, spoke.

"Lord Lu, the Mongolian army has been stationed in Chenzhuang for three days, but there is no movement, I really didn't expect it, I once thought that there would be difficulties in the supply of food and grass for the Mongolian army, Kublai Khan could not stalemate with me for a long time, thinking of a quick battle with me, now it seems that I am too confident, I am not afraid of the consumption of grain and grass, I am most worried about the morale of many soldiers, always do not attack, the soldiers can not bear the pressure, I am afraid that some unexpected situations may occur."

Lu Wenhuan listened very carefully, and after Wu Shao just finished speaking, he immediately bowed and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Kublai Khan and the Mongolian army may not be able to withstand long-term attrition, the emperor has analyzed and compared the advantages of the Ming army and the Mongolian army, and concluded that the Mongolian army cannot hold on for a long time, the minister thinks that this is certain, nearly 400,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of war horses, its consumption of grain and grass is huge, maybe Kublai Khan did not expect, before the Mongolian iron cavalry battle, relying on the local looting, this time is no exception, all along the way in Shandong, the food was almost deprived of the Mongolian army, and the people could not survive, He believed that it would not take long for Kublai Khan to realize the seriousness of the problem... ”

Wu Shaogang nodded frequently, he forgot about this stubble, in fact, Kublai Khan was also sitting on top of the powder keg, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be crushed, strictly speaking, Kublai Khan was not as good as his Wu Shaogang's situation, and the difficulties and dangers faced by Kublai Khan would be greater.

But this kind of gambling, Wu Shaogang doesn't want to do, what he needs is a face-to-face fight, completely defeat the Mongolian army, instead of waiting for the Mongolian army to have civil strife, the Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the reason why he often uses this kind of combat method, is because the opponent is too strong, and his own strength is still insufficient, now Wu Shaogang's Ming army is not such a situation, the Ming army soldiers are not weaker than the Mongolian army sergeants, and the Dingkun cannon and thunder with the sky can ensure victory in the battle.

The soldiers of the Ming army also wanted to fight on the battlefield, they were eager to make war exploits and get more rewards, although it was said that there would be heavy casualties in the battle, but if they did not gamble, it was impossible to gain fame and fortune.

Thinking of this, Wu Shaogang looked at Lu Wenhuan and spoke again.

"Master Lu, what you said is right, I also believe that as long as such consumption continues, Kublai Khan and the Mongolian army will definitely be unable to bear it, but I don't want this."

Lu Wenhuan nodded vigorously, and this action was naturally seen by Wu Shaogang.

Wu Shaogang didn't speak, waiting for Lu Wenhuan to continue.

"The army under the command of the emperor, the soldiers are strong and strong, and there are Dingkun cannons and thunder, the Mongolian army can not resist at all, in this case, if you sit and wait for the Mongolian army to have civil strife, many soldiers can't help it, morale suffers a setback, if the Mongolian army suddenly launches an attack, the outcome may not be very good."

Wu Shaogang nodded slightly, it seems that Lu Wenhuan has been thinking about a lot of things during this time.

Seeing Wu Shaogang's satisfied expression, Lu Wenhuan was also very happy, his identity was already a little embarrassing, and he couldn't raise his head in front of everyone, unless he really made a great contribution, so that he could barely erase the previous stain, and now that the opportunity has come, Lu Wenhuan is willing to miss it.

During this time, Lu Wenhuan thought a lot, and he was quite meticulous, the words that the emperor said on weekdays, the information and maps he had read, etc., Lu Wenhuan read them carefully, thought about them seriously, and finally figured out a lot.

Now it's finally time to show.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that letting the soldiers move is the best way to deal with it, so that many soldiers can get rid of the anxiety in their hearts, and it can also make the Mongolian army feel frightened. . . ."

As he spoke, Lu Wenhuan pointed to the map on the table.

This map is only a topographic map of the surroundings of Ju County, which is marked in great detail, including the location where the Ming army and the Mongolian army are stationed, and between the two armies, there is a specially marked place, which is the best place for the Ming army and the Mongolian army to fight.

Lu Wenhuan's hand pointed to this place.

"Let the soldiers move towards this place, and set up camp in a place not far away, so that the Mongolian army will definitely feel uneasy, and will guess the emperor's intentions, after the soldiers are camped in this area, they will not advance, continue to wait, and the minister thinks that Kublai Khan and the Mongolian army will definitely not be able to bear it, and they will also leave Chenzhuang and arrive close to the camp. . . ."

Wu Shaogang smiled, he completely understood what Lu Wenhuan meant.

In fact, through the movement of the army, the Mongolian army is forced to move and move towards the pre-planned place, once the place where the Mongolian army moves, it is already within the bombardment range of the Dingkun artillery, then the offensive will begin, and the way of fighting, there is not much difference from before, it is also the first to use the power of the Dingkun artillery to bomb the Mongolian army, and then launch an attack on the Mongolian army.

Of course, the attack was a thunderous bombardment, combined with a rain of arrows.

This is a very good way, moving forward, can make the soldiers' restless hearts a little calmer, they know that the battle is coming, and after moving a certain distance, a temporary stop, and can make officers at all levels think seriously, so as not to fall into restlessness, through such repeated short-distance marching, but also can make many soldiers are in a high degree of tension at all times, will not produce slack mood.

After only a few minutes of thinking, Wu Shaogang made a decision to adopt Lu Wenhuan's suggestion.

When Cai Siwei and others entered the Chinese military tent, the banner on the sand table had clearly marked the location of the army's daily station, and this time it was Lu Wenhuan who explained the marching plan for each step.

Half an hour passed, and Lu Wenhuan explained every step in detail, and after he finished speaking, everyone nodded one after another, indicating that they understood all the arrangements and deployments.

As soon as Wu Shao spoke, everyone fell silent.

"The big war is coming, I hope you cheer up, some emotions among the soldiers, I am also clear, you are afraid that you are also a little anxious, do not want to be so consumed, looking forward to a decisive battle with the Mongolian army, I have the same idea as you, just now Lord Lu has made detailed arrangements and deployments, you must follow this arrangement, there must be no disobedience, this battle, life and death are at stake, I hope you will act in strict accordance with the order, and do not make your own decisions until the last resort."
