Chapter 138: Zhang Hongwu counterattacked
was attacked internally, and as the current actual person in charge of Shanxi, Zhang Hongwu naturally couldn't pretend that it hadn't happened.
Especially when he led his army south, he was even more unhappy when he learned that Lu Xiangsheng actually took away the first batch of prisoners escorted to Shaanxi, including Hong Chengchou. Not to mention, in the process of **, a batch of firecrackers was not destroyed in time, and they were taken away by Lu Xiangsheng along with the Mini bullets.
Leaking the firecracker technology is a capital crime in the Qin State, if it can, everyone hopes that their firecracker technology will not be available to others for a lifetime.
But now it seems that this is a very stupid idea, as long as there is a war, it is difficult to guarantee that the whole body will be able to escape, or destroy the weapon in the first place. If it has been done before, it may not be possible to do it in the future, and as a result, what should have happened will still happen, and a large number of firecrackers have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
Zhang Hongwu had to send a letter to his younger brother for this reason, explaining the matter, and at the same time saying that as long as the enemy was driven out of Shanxi, he would tie his hands and go to confess.
The letter came to Zhang Hongbin's hands in about three days.
At this time, Zhang Hongbin was still fighting for the problem of how to deal with the Jin merchants in Shanxi who came to gamble. Zhang Hongbin has no good impression of this kind of traitor who presses the fortune of the country on Houjin, a traitor who sells the country all over the country, and the red-top businessmen of the original world. It doesn't matter if you use some means to do business, and even if you have appropriate smuggling, you can indulge it, but collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, acting as a spy for Houjin or something, this belongs to the category of treason. Therefore, Jin Shang must deal with it, otherwise he is completely uncomfortable with himself, even if Houjin wants to start a war with him.
got Zhang Hongwu's letter of guilt, but Zhang Hongbin didn't mean to be too angry, he had expected this day that a fool would be entangled in the leakage of weapon technology.
However, he still plans to wait until Zhang Hongwu comes here, and then hold a more formal meeting, at this stage, and let Zhang Hongwu freely exert his military capabilities!
After sending a letter to Zhang Hongbin, Zhang Hongwu also came to the Linfen area.
The enemy suddenly gained tens of thousands more prisoners. This is not really a good thing. Not to mention anything else, the supply of tens of thousands of people is not such an easy thing, and in order to better escort them, these captives only eat two meals a day, and they are rationed, so everyone's body has nothing to use except walking. In other words, without three or four days of nutritional supplements, these people can't even be put into use as combat effectiveness.
It is conceivable that the burden of tens of thousands of people can completely reduce the combat effectiveness of Lu Xiangsheng's team by a large margin.
It's just that he can think of it, and Lu Xiangsheng can naturally think of it.
"Report to the general, our men have detected the appearance of a large number of small forces in the territory of Binh Duong Province. Or unarmed enemy troops, scattered in all directions, some even hid in the mountains and forests, and we had limited manpower to fully grasp all their movements. It is precisely because of their interference that we can't even figure out where the enemy's main forces are! "The captain in charge of the investigation, the royal family, came to report.
"The small group of troops will not be bothered for the time being, these troops with little combat effectiveness will deal with them later. You must confirm the whereabouts of the bulk of the troops I need. Also, according to the informant, Lu Xiangsheng's lieutenant Mangui domesticated a falcon, in other words, within the range of the eagle's activities, there should be the other party's deposit, which must be noted. Also be careful, the other party is using the falcon to guide you to a specific area. Zhang Hongwu said very calmly.
"Yes!" The royal family naturally didn't talk nonsense, and hurried down to continue the investigation.
"At present, the only possible possibility of the enemy is here, here and here, the first is near a river, where there are fish and plenty of water, and most importantly, it is well connected in all directions, and it is the best place to camp here; The second is the dense forest, which is the best place to hide your whereabouts; The third is the valley, which is the best place to ambush and the way we have to go. Staff officer Tian Yu said.
Long before the royal family came to report, Zhang Hongwu had already discussed the situation with Tian Yu about the enemy's location. It's best to get the most accurate information from the scout, even if you don't have it, there will always be clues to so many enemies.
"The enemy is numerous, in other words, they will not have a shortage of scouts. Our people rush by, it is easy to be found, it is best to look near the perimeter, there are so many of them, there is no reason why there are no clues at all. As long as there are traces, you can know their location to some extent. Only by knowing where they are can we devise a complete counterattack against them. Tian Yu said very solemnly.
"Well, at present, our region can only wait slowly!" Zhang Hongwu nodded approvingly.
In the evening, the royal family returned again, saying that a falcon had been spotted near the second place, and that a large army had passed by them. Even if it was deliberately hidden, it was still discovered. The biggest problem is that a large number of clear traces have also been found in the third site, which have not been cleaned up at all, and it is clear at a glance that a large number of people have passed by here.
So, the question is, where is the enemy? The second point, or the third point?!
"The current situation is that the second point has obvious hidden traces and is not far from the third. In other words, if we go directly to the third point and there is no enemy, then it is very likely that we will be surrounded by the enemy of the second point. However, there are obvious traces of the third point, and it cannot be ruled out that it is deliberately attracting us there, but the art of war is about the false and the real, if the enemy is at the third point and we attack the second, we will be surrounded by them at the same time, and at the same time it has not rained for three days, and it is a very dry time in the forest, and if we set fire to it, it will be very heavy for our army. Tian Yu analyzed.
"I said Staff Officer Tian, kill it directly, if you find the enemy's secret outpost, don't you know if the enemy is there?" The royal family mentions yƬ to.
"Supposedly a means, but since the enemy will design it that way, God knows if there will be a large number of sentry posts in both places? It is worth mentioning that it is also possible to attack both places directly, and the two places are relatively close, so even if they attack at the same time, it will not hurt, but they will take a certain amount of risk. Tian Yu denied the royal family's opinion, and then gave a mention.
"Report!" At this time, two guards walked in.
"Come in, what's the matter?" Zhang Hongwu said impatiently.
"His Royal Highness King Qin asked people to send two strange things, saying that they were military supplies, we don't know what they are for, so we came to report." The soldier replied.
"Bring it in!" Zhang Hongwu immediately became interested.
After a while, the things were brought in, and after Zhang Hongwu saw it, he immediately laughed and shouted: "God help me!" ā
Two days later, the army began to attack the enemy's position, yes, without any mistakes at all, directly towards the enemy's location, that is, the third. As for the second point, I didn't even look at it.
This made Man Gui, who was ambushed at the second point, very unhappy, and he took more than 3,000 people to ambush here, waiting for the company camp to be burned. However, if the enemy army does not enter the urn, he has no choice. Especially in the past few days, he didn't know why he hadn't come back, and Man Gui also realized that the situation didn't seem right.
"Quick, hurry to the aid of Ludutu!" Man Gui saw that the Qin army did not enter the urn, so he simply led people out immediately.
But I didn't want to, and where I had to pass on the road, there was a sudden sound of fried beans, and it was babbling for a while.
Listening to this kind of voice, but it costs with lives, in this series of sounds, Mangui's troops directly killed hundreds of people, and even Mangui was injured. At this moment, he was guarded by several guards, and they already knew that it was the sound of the firecracker.
"Kill!" Thousands of enemy troops undisguised and killed.
"Don't underestimate Master Man!" Man Gui pushed away the soldier next to him, turned over the horse with the spear in his hand, and killed him.
What was waiting for him was more than a dozen rounds of firecrackers that hit him directly.
I have to say that the armor on his body is indeed excellent, and the fire gun did pierce the armor, but it only hurt his flesh and skin, and did not cause fatal injuries. However, both hands and feet were shot one after another, and it was obvious that there was no way to use it. At the same time, the second burst of fried beans came out, and more soldiers had no choice but to die early.
"Nope! Why is this happening!? "Man Gui was captured, but he couldn't figure out why things had developed to this point.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng's troops, who were in ambush near the valley, were also attacked. The enemy's offensive was very fierce, directly towards the weakest part of their defense, but in just ten minutes, the defense was torn apart, and the enemy began to kill him, the core commander.
"Retreat...... Damn it, why is this happening......" Lu Xiangsheng still can't understand why the enemy is so aware of his every move.
"It's a big bird, a big bird that suddenly flew in the sky yesterday!" A soldier suddenly remembered something.
Yesterday evening, a strange big bird flew over the barracks, and because it only circled for a while and left, and flew too high to shoot, it had to be allowed to leave. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for the big bird, how would the enemy know their location so accurately?
However, Lu Xiangsheng was really curious, when did the Qin army also have the ability to domesticate birds to detect the whereabouts of the enemy army?
But he didn't know, if Zhang Hongwu was here, he would laugh: "I don't know what birds, gliders, it's too backward!" Then again, if it weren't for the fact that when he was in Shaanxi, the third brother pulled himself to play this 'exciting' thing, he might not have known that there is such a thing in this world that can soar in the blue sky......"
Yes, what Zhang Hongbin brought to his second brother at that time were two sets of gliders!
