The great river was rolling eastward, and the turbid waves were surging. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The military camp of the Tianwu Army is on the edge of the river, although Jiang Hao has not led the troops for a long time, but he has experienced a great battle between the former Song Dynasty and later the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia that turned the general trend of the world, and he is definitely experienced. Therefore, the entire Tianwu Army's military camp is also very particular about the layout.

The Mongol army on the other side of the river has always been on the defensive, and more importantly in the direction of Shandong, so the military camp of the Tianwu Army is not about how to deal with the enemy attack from the north, but how to be able to dispatch at the first time when the war breaks out.

According to the military system after the reform of the Ming Dynasty, the four divisions of the Tianwu Army are located on the bank of the river by relying on the terrain, and between the two military camps in the east and west, it is the place where Luoshui and Bishui flow into the river, and the two rivers are blended, just separating the east and west military camps. The reason why Jiang Ho did this was naturally to rely on Luoshui to practice river crossing tactics on weekdays.

Emperor Ming came to inspect the military camp, and for the Tianwu Army, the easiest way was to repeat the river-crossing tactics that had been practiced for a long time in front of the officials.

Although the water surface of Luoshui is enough for flying thunder cannons to wreak havoc on the other side of the river, after all, it is necessary to force the crossing of the big river at that time, and the big river is wide and cannot tolerate the flying thunder cannons, so as Jiang Hao raised the flag and the drums beat Dongdong, the new artillery took the lead in roaring at several camps that had been set up on the opposite bank.

As the war subsided, the economy of the Ming Dynasty had gradually recovered, and naturally it had also diverted more energy to produce the materials needed for the war, and even a large amount of hoarding. So Jiang Ho was not so economical during the drill.

After all, the ability of the gunner is honed with a large number of shells.

One by one, the solid cannonballs roared and smashed on the shore, and slammed straight into the first wall, and the whole wall shook violently, and the ropes that bound the wood of the wall had broken under such a violent impact, and they were loosened. After these artillery, more than a dozen trebuchets have begun to roar at the same time, these trebuchets are all re-imitated and designed by the Ministry of Industry after inspecting the return cannons seized outside Chengdu, so compared with the flying thunder cannon and the bed crossbow, the range is longer, even the mighty river can throw the stone projectile over, not to mention the lighter weight of the explosive bag.

These explosive packets, which had destroyed the Mongol army of 150,000 in a devastating manner, did not disappoint at this time, and the already scattered fences were swept away in the successive explosions, and after a few moments, the straw men and the fences that were comparable to the camps on the shore were all reduced to ashes.

Holding his clairvoyance to look at the scene on the other side, Ye Yingwu nodded and said nothing with a smile.

"What do the officials think?" Jiang Hao took a step forward and said loudly.

Putting down the clairvoyance, Ye Yingwu glanced at Jiang Hao, who was looking up with his chest up, and said with a smile: "The next step is to directly use a warship to carry soldiers across Luoshui?" ”

"What the officials said is exactly what they say." Jiang Hao replied loudly, "Once the official family gives an order, the last general will personally lead the Tianwu army to the other side, and now if the official family wants to see it, let Supervisor Yin accompany the official family here, and the last general will personally lead the soldiers to demonstrate for the official family." ”

"The so-called army drill is to make all the armies of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are the main army or not, always be ready for war, and always be ready to go to the battlefield," Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "So the importance of the drill is not to be able to raise the prestige of our army, but to be able to reflect the reality of the battlefield and bring practical experience to the soldiers, rather than simply improving morale." ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Hao suddenly asked tentatively.

Ye Yingwu turned his head to look at Xiao Yangzi: "Once the two armies fight, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty's fire bow and crossbow to play a role, and what really depends on the real blade of a knife and a gun." In this way, Xiao Yangzi, you lead half of my personal guards to play the role of Mongolian foot cavalry, both offensive and defensive sides are all using wooden knives, and the arrows are also removed, what I want to see is a real drill. ”

Xiao Yangzi suddenly opened his mouth, and went into battle to kill the enemy or communicate with his allies, he didn't have any opinions, but he didn't want to do such a job as playing the Mongolian army, it was definitely thankless, especially if the soldiers of the martial arts army were defeated these days, it would really be difficult to be a person inside and out.

After all, the Praetorian Guards are still thinking about digging into the wall from these main forces all day long.

"Go!" Ye Yingwu suddenly raised his eyebrows, and there was already murderous aura in his voice, "If you don't go, then I will personally bring the guards over." Tell Wu Chucai and Jiang Tie that if anyone has the courage to show mercy to his subordinates, I will directly demote them outside for me to lead the villagers! ”

Xiao Yangzi shuddered, he naturally knew that Ye Yingwu was not joking, this Ming Emperor has always been true to his word, not to mention that he, as the emperor immediately, is not afraid of these, once he gets serious at that time, who can stop him. What's more important is that Xiao Yangzi and Wu Chucai, as the leading generals of the Praetorian Guard, lead the world's first-class elites, if they really go to lead the township soldiers, I'm afraid it will be more uncomfortable than killing them.

Seeing Xiao Yangzi walking quickly, Ye Yingwu turned his gaze to Jiang Hao: "Pickaxe, do you have the guts to let your people compete with my Praetorian Guard?" ”

Jiang Hao Huo Ran arched his hand: "Why don't you dare!" The last general will personally lead the athletes of the Tianwu Army, and he will definitely break through the defense of His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, please rest assured! ”

"After all these years, you are all the same pride." Ye Yingwu chuckled, "Since you want to go into battle, let's go, you guys are ruthless and don't attack lightly or severely, give me a little care." ”

When Xiao Yangzi and the others left, Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly and raised his clairvoyance again to look at the situation on the other side. It was not that he was not worried about the offensive ability of the Tianwu Army, and it was not that he was worried that Mongolia would be able to draw out some elite forces to resist the threat of the Great Ming Iron Flow in the midst of civil strife, but that he did not want the Tianwu Army to take it lightly because of the weakness of the enemy on the opposite side.

You must know that when Ye Yingwu first started, he was also a small regiment training envoy with only more than 2,000 horses under his command, and the enemy he faced was the main army of 150,000 Mongols in Ashu. But the final result was that Ye Yingwu stepped into the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor step by step, while Ah Shu had already buried his bones in the battlefield and became the soul of the Battle of Xiangyang.

Ye Yingwu asked himself that he did not have the ability to win again and again, in fact, he was able to get to this day, and in addition to his own control and understanding of history, there is another very important reason, that is, the enemy's light enemy. Ah Shu was frustrated at the hands of Ye Yingwu several times, but he never regarded him as a big trouble; Jia Rudao wanted to deal with Jiang Wanli wholeheartedly, and even allowed Ye Yingwu to grow up to the point where he could threaten him; Zhang Hongfan has always set his eyes on the Song Dynasty before the demise, but he didn't expect that Ye Yingwu was the real "praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches behind".

It is one person after another because of this and that accidental and even inevitable negligence that causes Ye Yingwu to now stand here as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the red flags and armor around him are like clouds.

Ye Yingwu knew very well that the Tianwu Army from Jiang Hao to every soldier had the arrogance of "the first army in the world", and it was precisely because of this arrogance and fighting spirit that they had already risen up and advanced northward after a lot of losses in Chenzhou, and went straight to Kaifeng and Heluo, and kept the back road for the Shence Army at a critical time.

Half a year has passed since the last Northern Expedition, and the entire Tianwu Army has become more and more proud of the last victory, and they don't even take the enemy on the other side of the river into account. So what Ye Yingwu wanted to do was to pour a basin of cold water on them and tell them that there is a sky outside the sky and there are people outside the world.

In this world, all things are mutually reinforcing, and there is no strongest, only stronger.

And Ye Yingwu believes that the Praetorian Guard can complete this task.

The rumbling sound had begun to echo, and the artillery and trebuchets had once again shrouded the other shore in a thick cloud of billowing smoke. And rows of Tianwu Army soldiers dragged the sampan and rushed straight towards Luoshui. At this moment, Ye Yingwu realized how long Jiang Hao had been holding back to the north, and these hundreds of sheepskin rafts, bamboo rafts, and sampans were definitely not ready in a day or two, especially when the time came, once there was the support of the sailors, it could even guarantee that the entire Tianwu Army would be sent to the other side of the river in just two or three hours!

"Interesting!" Ye Yingwu chuckled.

In this way, the number of soldiers of the Tianwu Army who went ashore for the first time will reach more than 2,000 people, which is beyond his expectations, and it also means that this drill is not a one-sided massacre by the Praetorian Guards as Ye Yingwu imagined, and there is also a great suspense.

But this is also good, so that there are highlights, and it can also allow the two Ming elites to better learn each other's strengths in the fight.

――――――――――――――--

"Quick, the crossbowmen cover and tell the first division Zhang Wei that if you can't take the beachhead within two quarters of an hour, he doesn't have to be the commander of this division, let Lao Tzu go home and farm!" Jiang Ho lay on his stomach in the boat, and the arrows whizzed past him and sank into the water, and from time to time the arrows smashed into the soldier's chest, and the flour wrapped in the arrow left a mark on the person, and the soldier could only stand up stupidly, which was considered dead.

These fallen soldiers jumped directly from the boat into the water, and the water was not deep anyway, and their standing on the boat would affect Brother Paoze's observation.

In front of Jiang Tie, there were already more than a dozen small boats. And the general flag of Zhang Wei, the commander of the first division of the Tianwu Army, is already full of white dots, if it is on the battlefield, this flag is estimated to have been torn and cannot see its original appearance.

A small boat squeezed out of the chaotic river crossing boats, and the herald jumped into the water with his shield in hand, and rushed to the command office of the first division of the first army of the Tianwu Army in three steps and two steps. In fact, the command office had stranded three or four small boats sideways, while Zhang Wei was cautiously looking at the scene ahead.

Rows of soldiers of the Tianwu Army roared and rushed forward, the previous artillery and trebuchets had destroyed most of the fences and deer barricades on the beachhead, but the remaining ones could still block the arrows of the Tianwu Army. What's more, the guys of the Praetorian Guard are as agile as apes, running back and forth between large and small, high and low deer bars and fences, and they are only two or three hundred crossbowmen, and they suppress the most elite first division of the Tianwu Army on the beachhead.

Before the fence and the deer, there have been a lot of Tianwu soldiers, these arrowed soldiers must lie on the ground and pretend to be dead according to the rules, and wait for the drill to end, so although they gritted their teeth and were unwilling, they could only watch the robes running past them, and then fall down in frustration, and could only listen to the whizzing arrows whistling overhead, to harvest the lives of more soldiers.

"Division Commander Zhang, the general personally ordered that the first division must occupy the beachhead and attack in depth within two quarters of an hour, otherwise it will ・・・・・・" The herald crawled over panting, and the four of them rushed over to summon the news, only this one person arrived at Zhang Wei "alive", paused, and the herald shouted with a red face, "Otherwise, you can go home and see the child!" ”

The surrounding soldiers and generals couldn't help but laugh. And Zhang Wei sneered and looked around: "Laugh, laugh at what laugh, Lao Tzu goes to see the child, none of you can get any benefits!" Second Brigade Commander, what about your people, why haven't you rushed up yet, do you have to wait until the First Brigade is cleaned up before you go up?! ”

The commander of the second brigade shuddered and hurriedly ran back to urge the troops. And Zhang Wei then looked at the gloating guards Dudu: "You try to smile again?!" Lao Tzu won't smoke you to death! A few hundred crossbowmen can lock us up on the beachhead, and it's a shame! Once the first brigade can't be defeated this time, Lao Tzu will go up with his personal guards, and whoever has the courage to retreat will be killed! ”

Suddenly, everyone around subconsciously took a breath.

"Raise Lao Tzu's banner!" Zhang Wei said in a deep voice, "This is not a place to have fun, nor is it a place to make you giggle." Now in front of us is His Majesty's Praetorian Guard, and behind us is His Majesty personally watching, if anyone dares to be negligent, don't think that Lao Tzu's knife is unhappy! ”

One soldier after another bowed their waists slightly, and the blades in their hands were clenched, like wolves waiting for the order to pounce violently, their fangs bared!

The sound of arrows in front of them gradually dissipated, the attack of the second command of the first brigade had been disintegrated, and the soldiers retreated in confusion. Zhang Wei squinted his eyes slightly, and shouted loudly: "Tianwu Army, Wansheng!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he had already drawn his flag and jumped out from behind the boat's bunker. The crossbowmen behind him stood up at the same time and desperately pulled the trigger, while the rows of guards and soldiers of the second brigade closely followed the flag in front of them full of white dots but fluttering in the wind, striding forward!

"Tianwu Army, Wan Sheng!" Countless soldiers roared loudly against the wind and raised their spears.

Even those soldiers who had been defeated and retreated were swept away by this wave and moved forward again.

Wu Chucai originally thought that after several tentative attacks of the Tianwu Army were frustrated, they should retreat and repair, but they did not expect that they would directly launch such a large-scale impact, and the entire First Division of the First Army of the Tianwu Army, which basically acted as the vanguard, pounced up, and the Third Division on the left flank and the Fourth Division on the right flank finally suppressed the beachhead defenders at this time and attacked forward.

Even Wu Chucai was already able to see the Jiang Ho general flag hunting and flying in front of him.

"Withdraw, tell the brethren, retreat!" Wu Chucai hurriedly ordered.

With the help of the cover of the terrain, hundreds of crossbowmen may be able to take the Tianwu Army by surprise and catch them off guard, but in the face of the group attacks of several divisions of the Tianwu Army from all directions, the Praetorian Guard naturally can't carry it hard.

Apparently he also saw the situation on the beachhead, and the ground behind him was constantly trembling, and one by one the cavalry had jumped out of the horizon, and rushed straight to the beachhead from the left and right, although these cavalry were only two or three thousand people, but the momentum was no less than that of thousands of troops.

The vanguard of the Tianwu Army on the other side and the cavalry of the Praetorian Guard Army were entangled together, and the smoke and dust were billowing and he couldn't see the situation clearly, so Ye Yingwu simply put down his clairvoyance. After reading the Tianwu Army's attack on the river beach just now, he didn't have anything left, and the original blandness on his face had become gloomy.

And Yin Yu, who was also holding clairvoyance on the side, subconsciously glanced at Ye Yingwu's face, suddenly sighed, and hurriedly turned around and arched his hand at Ye Yingwu: "Your Majesty・・・・・・"

"Tell Jiang Ho that there is no need to fight this battle, he has already lost." Ye Yingwu sneered and put away his clairvoyance, "The defenders of the Mongol Tatars on the other side are no more than 50,000 people at most, and the defense line of the Great River is loose, once our army launches a surprise attack, the enemy army that we really face is a few thousand." In other words, if you want to cross the river with the least sacrifice, the easiest and most reasonable way is to break through the river defense with lightning speed. But how did he fight, how did you fight?! ”

Ye Yingwu waved his sleeves and walked straight to the stage.

And Yin Yu sighed softly, he knew that what His Majesty said was indeed true. After so many battles, although the Tianwu army fought hard, they were able to win in the end, which naturally made these soldiers eager to turn their nostrils to the sky, and they didn't care about the Mongolian cavalry, not to mention those Mongolian Han foot soldiers on the opposite river.

Therefore, it has been obvious in several drills that the enthusiasm of the non-commissioned officers is not high, but because there has been no sparring, this phenomenon is not obvious enough. Today, the Tianwu Army came up to face the most elite Praetorian Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally exposed this shortcoming.

It took half an hour for a whole first division to break through the beachhead, which was only a few hundred crossbowmen. Tens of thousands of people were suppressed on the beachhead and slaughtered, which is simply a great shame!

The beachhead landing has always been a loss for the attacking side, but Yin Yu understands that no matter how much he suffers, with the ability of the Tianwu Army, it stands to reason that it is impossible to suffer such heavy casualties and slow progress in front of some crossbowmen, and even in the end, the division commander himself must lead the team to force the other party to retreat.

There are only five division commanders in the entire Tianwu Army, and if one of them dies on this beachhead, it will be a victory or defeat for the Tianwu Army! (To be continued.) )
