Chapter 97: Mou Hanzhong
The soldiers' brains were understandably hot, after all, they were insulted by Li Zicheng. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, as the coach, Zhu Changyuan's brain can't be hot.
To tell the truth, can the combat power of this unit fight now?
Yes, of course I can, now all the cavalry combined, in addition to the wounded, there are as many as one hundred and fifty, and these one hundred and fifty people, all of them are ten thousand enemies, once Li Zicheng's army is torn apart, it is too simple to win.
Moreover, this is the time when the crowd is excited, and it is just the right time to get angry.
However, things can't be seen in one side alone.
Zhu Changyuan deeply knew that Li Zicheng was not Zhang Xianzhong, not only was the army well supplied, but also the civil and military ministers around him were capable.
The red-clothed cannon is a sharp weapon for defending the city, especially against the cavalry, it can be said that it is a dozen and one accurate, don't forget that Yuan Dudu used this thing to defend the lonely city of Ningyuan, which was attacked by 200,000 people with only 10,000 people.
Attacking the strengths of the other with his own shortcomings, this kind of stupid way of suicide is not what Zhu Changyuan wants to see, even if the combat power of his troops is much stronger than the average team. He didn't want to see another brother fall under his own cannon.
"Not allowed!" Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, "Since this Liangzi is settled, General Ben is not in a hurry to take revenge, our main task at the moment is to protect these injured brothers." As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and sooner or later the general will ask Li Zicheng for this account book, don't worry. ”
"Break the captive, listen to the order!"
"The subordinates are here!"
The captives squeezed through the crowd.
"Lead a hundred brothers to the mountain pass in front to defend it, don't enter this mountain by yourself!" Zhu Changyuan pointed to the road he had just come over.
"Yes!"
Break the order, and then lead a hundred men to the front pass to defend.
As long as Li Zicheng doesn't pull the cannon over. In this kind of terrain where no one can open one's husband. The probability of trying to break in from a million enemies is almost zero.
As for the cannons. Don't even think about it, this place is the remnant of Huashan Mountain, although you can walk, but the cannon can't be transported, that thing can't walk this kind of mountain road.
"Kong He!"
"The subordinates are here!" Holes and arches.
Take the remaining fifty soldiers, find a slightly more open place and camp in place to take care of the wounded brother!
"Yes!"
Not long after the order was given, Kong He and his people carved out a slightly wide open space nearby. He took out a dozen or so large military tents that he carried with the army, and set them up like yurts one by one.
Each of these dozen military tents can accommodate twenty people without being crowded.
Zhu Changyuan camped on the spot, with the super plug-in of the system, he naturally did not worry about eating and drinking, and all the soldiers had wine and meat for ten days in a row, and spent a few days in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty.
Ten days later, most of the wounded soldiers were fine, and the really seriously injured ones were gradually stabilized, at least now without delaying walking. Zhu Changyuan ordered the camp to march into the army.
Instead of going north to Chang'an or Huazhou City to find trouble with Li Zicheng, he led the army all the way south. Follow the trail in the mountains, moving slowly.
Li Zicheng was able to mobilize hundreds of cannons to bombard Huazhou City, and naturally there were more cannons to guard Chang'an, Weinan and other big cities, there is no doubt about this, Zhu Changyuan saw it with his own eyes when he was under Chang'an City, and this was also a major reason why he agreed to make peace at that time.
Although there are cannons in Shaanxi, not every city has cannons, generally speaking, the main task of these red-coated cannons after they are manufactured is to prevent the invasion of the Mongols, and most of them are arranged in northern towns, such as Guyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu.
In the south, such as Hanzhong and Ankang, there should be none!
According to this speculation, Zhu Changyuan led his troops all the way south, arrived at the mouth of the Han River, and went west by boat, arriving at the land of Hanzhong in seven days, and the first city he wanted to attack was the first city in Hanzhong: Yangxian.
Running all the way from Huashan, Zhu Changyuan took nothing from the large and small cities he encountered on the way, and every time he passed through the city, he led the army to pass by, and did not attack any city.
However, after arriving in Yangxian, he changed his strategy and decided to capture Yangxian first.
Many simple, Yangxian is the gateway of the Hanzhong Plain, located on the eastern edge of the Hanzhong Plain, once the capture of Yangxian, there is a foothold in this place.
The whole Hanzhong Plain, north of the Qinling Mountains, south of Bashan, is a large basin in the mountains, the widest point from north to south is about 70 li, the east and west are long and narrow, about 200 li, for the alluvium of the Han River, is a rare fertile soil.
At that time, Liu Bang was named the king of Hanzhong, and later achieved hegemony, and the country name was: Han.
It can be said that Hanzhong is the place where the entire Han nation is named.
Moreover, Hanzhong is a big mountain in the east, west, north and south, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the territory is not very large, this is the best area for Zhu Changyuan to develop agriculture and pacify Shaanxi.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the land in Hanzhong, in addition to nominally belonging to the Ming Empire, now has a new owner: Luo Rucai.
Yes, it is Luo Rucai, it is Luo Rucai who raised troops from Yunxian all the way north after hearing that Li Zicheng went out of Shangluo some time ago, and together with Li Zicheng, he stirred up the entire Ming Dynasty like a mess of muddy waters.
Although Zhu Changyuan has not met this guy, the two have been friends for a long time, and in the first battle of the bandits, Luo Rucai lent a thousand men and horses to kill Luo Zhixiong.
"The people on the front foot still lent troops to themselves, and now they want to seize other people's cities, which seems a bit undisciplined." Zhu Changyuan's garrison was outside Yangxian, and he was a little embarrassed to scratch his head.
In other words, this Luo Rucai has no place to be sorry for himself, well, except for the natural opposition of officials and bandits.
However, what is the festival of discipline, as long as Luo Rucai is put on a hat of an anti-thief, it will not be too much to kill, after all, although he had a little friendship with this goods before, now, with this goods coming out of the court, this friendship has long been gone.
As for the siege.
I'm sorry, for Zhu Changyuan, the simplest thing is neither cavalry battle nor naval army, but siege, without him, his siege artifact is too invincible.
Moreover, although the city wall of Yangxian County looks tall, Zhu Changyuan knew after investigation that it was actually very thin, and it was far worse than the city wall of Huang Taiji's hometown in Shenyang.
Therefore, using the old method, first shouted to the people in the city, saying that Zhu Changyuan came to attack the city, and the main general who defended the city was so scared that he peed his pants, and then the military spirit in the city was disturbed, and finally, with five siege artifacts, he easily drilled five big holes in the defense of Yangxian County.
The cavalry entered the city, and after a simple battle, the entire Yangxian fell into the hands of Zhu Changyuan.
What made Zhu Changyuan quite happy was that after the capture of Yangxian, the four small cities of the surrounding Tun army actually took the initiative to surrender, and in one day, they took the entire Yangxian area without blood, and controlled the eastern gateway of the Hanzhong Plain.
Zhu Changyuan was happy, and Luo Rucai's troubles had just begun.
A day later, the news that Yangxian County had been breached by Zhu Changyuan reached Hanzhong. Luo Rucai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
is different from Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai's biggest characteristic is that he talks about righteousness in the rivers and lakes, and his biggest weakness is that he has no big ambitions.
In addition, Luo Dashuai also has a well-known characteristic: lustful.
It is manifested in practical actions as marrying a daughter-in-law.
It is said that after Luo Dashuai's cavalry, his status soared, and he began to marry his daughter-in-law unscrupulously, and folk rumors said that after Luo Rucai conquered Yunxian, he married thirteen little women in one day.
Moreover, this product is not taboo, as long as it meets a good-looking person, whether it is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little Lori, or a super royal sister in her thirties and forties, or a widow, a married woman, they all laugh at it.
Similarly, once Luo Rucai reaches the threshold of a major event, he will not discuss with his generals, but will be with hundreds of his wives, for example, this time.
"Ladies, look at what the hell are you going to do?"
Luo Rucai paced around the hall.
In addition to him, there were dozens of women dressed in flowers, a group of warblers and swallows together, and naturally they couldn't say anything.
"Marshal, why don't you send someone to ask King Chuang to come to the rescue, if King Chuang brings a large army, we will definitely be able to win against Zhu Changyuan if we attack inside and outside our home."
A woman in red makeup gave him an idea.
Luo Rucai listened to his words, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It would be best if Li Zicheng could come, but what kind of person is King Chuang, and it is unlikely that he will let him come if he can't see the benefits. Besides, even if he comes, he may not be able to win against Zhu Changyuan.
If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you defeat Zhu Changyuan, what if Li Zicheng's army occupies Hanzhong and doesn't go?
Luo Rucai has no big ambitions, but he is not a fool, and this truth is still understood.
"No way!" sighed and said, "Zhu Changyuan is most afraid of the red-clothed cannon, but we don't have this thing in Hanzhong, so it's not a good idea to use it against him." ”
"King, since the north doesn't work, let's go south and ask Zhang Xianzhong for help, I heard that now Zhang Xianzhong has gained a firm foothold in Shuzhong, if he is willing to ......"
What the mother-in-law said was even more unreliable, and Luo Ru interrupted before she finished speaking.
"Zhang Xianzhong will not come."
As for the reason, everyone in the world probably knows that this goods have long been scared by Zhu Changyuan, not to mention sending troops to help, even if they run away to take refuge in his Shu land, maybe this goods will cut off their heads and then pay homage to Zhu Changyuan.
Just as he was at a loss, a red-clad soldier suddenly broke into the main hall.
"Bold!" Luo Rucai said a word and said, "Who told you to come here?" ”
The little soldier knelt down, took out an urgent goose feather letter from the bamboo tube behind his back, held it respectfully in his hand, and said: "There is news from Chenggu, saying that after Zhu Changyuan took Yangxian, the soldiers were bloodless, and he went down to four cities in one day. ”
"What!"
Luo Rucai stood up suddenly, and never mentioned blaming Xiaobing again. (To be continued.) )
