Chapter 112: Soldiers are in the city!
The original promise to the people of Shaanxi to attack Chang'an when the first crop of rice is ripe seems to be on the agenda. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It just so happened that during this period of uninterrupted military training, the 30,000 elite soldiers in Yangxian County were waiting for Zhu Changyuan's order.
For the soldiers of other families, fighting a war is a distressing and sad thing, but for Zhu Changyuan's deployment and soldiers, fighting a war is something that can make them excited.
Last time in Huazhou City, 200 elite soldiers were unexpectedly attacked by Li Zicheng and bombarded with artillery, almost bombarding the scum of the city, and then fled to Huashan in embarrassment under the leadership of Kong He, although Li Zicheng gained an overwhelming advantage in the follow-up pursuit battle, annihilating the enemy army that came to attack.
But that's not enough!
Who are they?
They are two hundred thousand enemies.
Not to mention the weak soldiers under Li Zicheng, even if they encounter Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's rebirth, any one of them can match each other, so they are defeated in the hands of Li Zicheng, how can they be willing?
People are arrogant, not to mention that this force once slaughtered Sun Xiaofeng's 10,000-strong army, and also scattered Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000-strong army, and pursued it for thousands of miles, but Gucheng, Yunxian, Pozhushan, and Xiadangyang, pursued all the way for 3,000 miles, and only two of the old Zhang fled back to Shuzhong in a hurry.
How can they afford to lose?
Where you fall, you have to get up from where, when you were scattered and fled by Li Zicheng in Huazhou City, then you have to go to Huazhou City and fight back, or you can directly take Chang'an City, and then Li Zicheng will be beheaded, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
This kind of hatred is not the hatred of hatred, but the hatred of arrogance peculiar to soldiers.
The most important thing is that if you lose face in front of your boss, you naturally want to get it back, and you can't let the boss think that we can't do it, right?
"Are you all ready?" When I came to Yangxian, I asked Kong He directly.
Compared to the soldiers under his hands. Kong He, as the main general, regarded the last battle in Huazhou City as the biggest shame and stain in his life, and he had already secretly vowed in his heart that he would break Li Zicheng's body into pieces.
"Ready!" Kong He respectfully gave a standard military salute to Zhu Changyuan, and then held his head high. The fierce light in his eyes was revealed, and he said: "30,000 elite soldiers are waiting for each other night and night, and there is no missing point of military equipment, but please give the general an order, and we will die generously." Take Chang'an directly! ”
Kong He even wanted to fly to Chang'an as soon as possible more than Zhu Changyuan himself, and he was ashamed.
"Good!" Zhu Changyuan looked at Kong He, smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that you are eager for revenge!" ”
"Yes!" Kong He bowed forward and said, "The last general can't hide it, and there is no need to hide it." ”
"Yes!" Zhu Changyuan bowed slightly, his face turned cold, and said, "Okay, I'll give you two things to do, Kong He will take the order!" ”
Kong He was overjoyed. He took a step back, arched his hands forward, bowed his head and said loudly: "The last general will take the order!" ”
"First, there are currently 70,000 troops left in Hanzhong Mansion, and no one is in charge, you are responsible for settling these tens of millions of people, and then responsible for collecting the grain handed over by the people of Hanzhong this year and storing it in the warehouse."
Kong He raised his head, hoping to hear Zhu Changyuan's order to let him lead the troops to the battle, but he didn't expect to receive such an order. I thought I had heard it wrong, so I was slightly stunned and said, "Will... ”
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Changyuan with a wave of his hand: "This matter is very important. It is related to whether our important task of appeasing Shaanxi can be realized, you must be foolproof! ”
"Then, the second thing: I will go to Chang'an, and I will only bring 20 days' worth of grain and grass, and you will collect all the taxes and grain within 20 days, and send them to the army. With your 70,000 troops, 200 iron horsemen, and axle transport, is it enough? ”
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before they move grain and grass, and this time Zhu Changyuan did the opposite, first letting each soldier bring enough food for twenty days, and then letting Kong He resupply.
"Subordinate, subordinate, subordinate order!"
Kong He originally wanted to defend a few words, but when he thought of the military regulations in the Sun Moon Island Army, which was bigger than the sky, he finally gave up the right to defend and fight.
Soldiers, obey orders as their duty!
Always obey orders and never resist!
This is the military order of Sun Moon Island!
In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Changyuan was a leader of Kong He, but later he was so emotional that he gave up the idea of appointing him as a general.
There may be nothing wrong with appointing Kong He as a general, with modern technology and materials, it is more than enough to defeat Li Zicheng, but in the long run, it will encourage his habit of emotional combat. As a general, if you don't have a calm and objective mind enough when leading the army, you are not a good general.
Sometimes, Zhu Changyuan doesn't mind ringing a wake-up call for them.
For example, this time, after Zhu Changyuan issued the order, he sighed and said: "This time, the general is very disappointed in you, as a senior general, and even more so the helmsman of my future military on Sun Moon Island, how can you bring the emotions left over from the last battle to this battle?" ”
Zhu Changyuan mentioned it a little, and Kong He was empowered!
Smart people often don't need to keep preaching, it's really the kind of person who keeps preaching, Zhu Changyuan would rather not use it.
And this time, Po Yu was in front of him, and while teaching Kong He a lesson, he also learned a lot as an observer.
"If you still disappoint me like this next time, you can go back to Sun Moon Island!"
Zhu Changyuan dropped a sentence, then looked at Po Yu, and said loudly: "Po Yu takes the order!" ”
"The last general will take the order!"
Jumping out suddenly, he threw his hand towards Zhu Changyuan, and took the order!
"Lead the army, go, Chang'an."
In this way, Zhu Changyuan and Po Ju led 30,000 horses and 20 days of grain, grass and ordnance to set off for Chang'an, this time to Chang'an, the goal is very clear: Li Zicheng!
As for the 200 iron horsemen and war horses, and 200 carriages, all of them were left to Kong He, so that he could collect taxes and grain in Hanzhong and transport military supplies to the front line, and at the same time, in order to watch his own backyard, don't let the 70,000 people come to the nest to rebel.
Hanzhong is actually very close to Chang'an, geographically speaking, the straight-line distance is only less than 500 miles, placed on the flat ground, can be reached by a three-day rapid march.
It is a pity that between Hanzhong and Chang'an, there is a big mountain, although this mountain is not as famous as Shennong Mountain and is regarded as a forbidden area of life, but it is also not to be underestimated.
Because the name of this mountain is well-known, it is called: Qinling!
One hundred and sixty miles east from Yangxian County in Hanzhong, there is a valley that crosses the Qinling Mountains and leads directly to the south of Chang'an, with a total length of about 500 miles, which is even more famous in history, which is the road that Wei Yanli persuaded Zhuge Liang to take.
Meridian Valley.
Zhu Changyuan personally led an army of 30,000 and set out from the Meridian Valley, thinking that the march was fast, but after walking in the valley for a few days, he realized that he was wrong.
In the past, the march was very fast, and that was because there were two hundred horses exchanged from the system, but this time with an army of thirty thousand could only walk forty miles a day.
By the time I reached the Meridian Valley exit, half a month had passed.
The food and grass brought with the army were almost exhausted.
However, for Zhu Changyuan, a person with a super external body, the food of 30,000 people is at least not a problem, and when he is fine, he returns to the modern society and gets a car, which is enough for these people to eat for twenty days.
Li Zicheng knew that Zhu Changyuan would come to attack, and he did not send troops to guard the valley.
Because, he knows very well the combat effectiveness of the 200 iron cavalry under Zhu Changyuan, unless he relies on the cannon of Jiancheng, otherwise, just like Zhang Xianzhong, who has an army of 100,000, it is just a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.
Moreover, his current army has another thing to do, harvesting wheat, which is not much winter wheat, but it is ripe and ready to be harvested.
It's just that he never expected that Zhu Changyuan came out of Hanzhong this time, and he didn't come with an iron horse as he imagined, and his cavalry troops were still transporting grain behind.
However, it is not far away, according to Zhu Changyuan's estimate, that is, in the next two days, the troops transporting military supplies and food can arrive, so even if Li Zicheng has a garrison at the mouth of the valley, he is not afraid, and it is a big deal to wait for the cavalry to come.
The army left the Meridian Valley, repaired for a day, and then went straight to Chang'an City, which was a hundred miles away.
After arriving in Chang'an City, he did not immediately lead the army to attack the city, and Zhu Changyuan would not be so stupid, allowing his subordinates to face the two hundred artillery pieces at the head of the city on the opposite side with their bodies.
He didn't know how big the range of the artillery was, so he stationed his army on flat ground three miles away from the south gate of Chang'an City.
No matter how awesome your Li Zicheng's cannon is, it is impossible for it to hit a place 1,500 meters away with one shot.
Naturally, Zhu Changyuan stationed the army outside the south gate of Chang'an City, and Li Zicheng had no intention of leading the army to assault, at least not now, he had not yet figured out the reality of Zhu Changyuan's army, and he didn't know how the combat effectiveness was, he needed a tentative attack with technical difficulty.
"I'll go!" Liu Zongmin was short-tempered, and he couldn't stand the atmosphere of this kind of army pressure at first, so he jumped up from his seat irritablely, and said: "Last time, Lao Tzu was able to beat Zhu Changyuan's kid all over the mountains and wilderness, and this time Lao Tzu can do it." ”
"Zong Min can't!"
Liu Zongmin is Li Zicheng's favorite general, and it is impossible for Li Zicheng to send him to visit the camp.
"The last time in the battle of Huazhou City, we relied on the power of artillery, it was all a fluke, you haven't fought with this guy before, you don't know, in the field, his cavalry is almost invulnerable, and even the long crossbow is not easy to use!"
At the beginning of the year, Kong He led his troops over, and he went around in circles under Chang'an City, and fought more than once with 200 people and Li Zicheng's thousands of people.
Therefore, Li Zicheng had a fear of Zhu Changyuan's cavalry in his bones.
Also, the matter of Zhu Changyuan's 200 cavalry slaughtering Sun Xiaofeng and breaking Zhang Xianzhong has long been spread to the south and north of the world, how can it be a waste of fame? (To be continued.) )
