Just when this line of defense was beginning to take shape, the scout brought news that Jiannu's figure had appeared, and it had begun to move south in Tianchang.

Shi Kefa couldn't sit still, he took his staff He Gang and ran directly into Zhou Yuji's big tent, and in this big tent, Zhou Huchen was performing again.

This is a wooden frame, a huge wooden frame, and this wooden frame occupies almost half of Zhou Yuji's big tent. Zhou Huchen was busy, he commanded several of his soldiers to use several wooden barrels of different sizes to stir the sand, while several people in cloth clothes kept weighing something on this wooden frame.

Zhou Yuji was also there, and when he saw Shi Kefa, he hurriedly saluted: "Master Inspector also come and take a look!" This thing Xiaohu said was good! ”

Shi Kefa gave Zhou Yuji and everyone a salute, he took two steps forward, there were too many people in front of him, and he couldn't walk, so Shi Kefa stopped.

Zhou Huchen waved his dusty hand and gestured to Shi Kefa, which was regarded as a greeting.

This action is very unruly, but look at Zhou Huchen's appearance, Shi Kefa forgave Zhou Huchen.

There are more important things, when is this, this father and son are actually busy with these things, Shi Kefa frowned and said directly: "It's too chaotic here, with the news of Jiannu, go to me!" ”

Father and son also understood what Shi Kefa meant, Zhou Yuji smiled and followed Shi Kefa to the outside of the account, Zhou Huchen turned his head before leaving and said: "Remember to use the scale, you must make it according to the scale, don't be sloppy!" ”

Jiannu is only more than 30 miles away from Yeshan Town, which is already equivalent to Jiannu close at hand.

Due to the inconsistency with Zhou Yujida in terms of tactics, Shi Kefa was already anxious and restless, which was very different from the calmness of Zhou Yuji's father and son.

"Zhou Shuai, is this going to stop Jiannu in Yeshan Town?"

Zhou Yuji replied without hesitation: "It can be said to be a blocking battle, or it can be said to be a battle, as long as we see the opportunity, our army will defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop." ”

Shi Kefa knew that Zhou Yuji's army was very strong, but this seemed to be a bit unashamed.

How many years? Since the old slave Nuerhachi started the army, Jiannu has always been a problem of the Ming Dynasty. Now, the Jiannu soldiers are strong and strong, not only defeating Li Zicheng to occupy the northern capital, but also constantly expanding. This expansion is not only the territory, it includes personnel and materials, and the poor Jiannu cannot be defeated, and the current Jiannu is equivalent to half of the Ming Dynasty to provide them with supplies. It's already good to be able to block Jiannu, and it's not bad to defeat Jiannu's 200,000 army (in fact, no), Zhou Yuji's words are a bit big!

Shi Kefa does not agree with Zhou Yuji's combat methods, in fact. He summoned civil and military officials near Yangzhou to welcome Zhou Huchen back with a grand ceremony, which was to encourage Zhou Yuji and his son, and to praise them for blocking Jiannu's progress. Of course, it is also to make their father and son obey the command.

This is going to be a decisive battle with Jiannu in Yeshan Town! Shi Kefa was a little frightened, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Shi Kefa is afraid that Zhou Yuji will fail, Yangzhou is destined not to be said, who else can he count on? I'm afraid Nanjing will also not be defended, and this entire half of the wall will probably change hands tomorrow! Scofa knew what the troops were like. Most of the armies are almost ineffective, and Zuo Menggeng's rebellion has shown the capabilities of these armies. And now, in addition to Zhou Yuji, there are only Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo left, but Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo together may not be stronger than Zhou Yuji's army. This can be compared, and now Shi Kefa has a deep understanding.

"No! Never! The Jiannu soldiers are in full swing, why not retreat to Yangzhou City? Yangzhou Chengjian, as well as these sharp cannons to help. Our army has enough food and grain, how can Jiannu easily capture Yangzhou. What's more, once Jiannu besieged Yangzhou. There will definitely be troops from Jiangfang and Nanjing to come to help, wouldn't it be more secure! Shi Kefa tried to stop Zhou Yuji's "self-indulgence".

"Inspector, where is Jiannu in full swing? A tired army! The terrain of this Yeshan town is excellent, and it is very beneficial for our army to conduct operations, if Jiannu is really unstoppable, it is not too late for us to retreat to Yangzhou for defense. ”

Zhou Huchen is very relaxed now, because, he had the same idea as Shi Kefa at the beginning, of course, he also had his own purpose at that time, but now? Jiannu is actually a paper tiger! Zhou Huchen can continue to deal with Jiannu according to his own wishes, and as for victory or defeat, Zhou Huchen knows in his heart.

Zhou Yuji was very serious, and his expression was also very serious: "Overseer, how can the territory of the imperial court be easily abandoned?" What's more, this Yeshan is an important place to protect Yangzhou and defend the river, so it should be here to fight with Jiannu, and it is not easy to retreat! ”

Zhou Yuji's righteousness is strict, his reasons are high-sounding and reasonable, and it is difficult for Shi Kefa to refute.

In fact, Shi Kefa was afraid, because under the years of accumulation, Jiannu could not be defeated in his mind. This stems from Jiannu's deliberate long-term rendering, and it also shows that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has always been very low.

Historically, Shi Kefa did not hold Yangzhou for a few days, and the historical "Yangzhou Ten Days" was a manifestation of Jiannu's brutality, and it was also a threat to the resistance of the entire Jiangnan with killing Liliang. Jiannu's strength is not as strong as it boasts, as for the combat effectiveness, Zhou Huchen now has a real understanding that these barbarian soldiers will not be stronger than his own soldiers, not to mention, he still has a huge advantage in weapons.

Zhou Yuji and Zhou Huchen have been insisting on their own opinions, Shi Kefa's strategy is not recognized, and he can't control Zhou Yuji's father and son, this discussion ended with Zhou Yuji's victory without accident, and Shi Kefa could only send Zhou Yuji and his son away in desperation.

Looking at the two figures that were gradually moving away, Shi Kefa felt a little dazed and helpless

The father and son returned to Zhou Yuji's big tent, and a shocking huge object appeared in front of them.

It's a sand table, which is a sand table made according to the nearby terrain.

This sand table is of course Zhou Huchen's masterpiece, the sand table is a reduced military topographic map, this small military topographic map is too intuitive, whether it is a lake, a river, a village or a road are clearly marked with different height ratios and colors, and even marked the trenches of this defensive line.

Zhou Yuji was completely stunned, he quietly stepped forward to look at this small military map, Zhou Huchen walked forward, and immediately began to perform after a personal soldier handed a wooden stick: "This is Gaoyou Lake, here is the Tianchang Baita River, here is a large swampy area on the west side, this is the position of our army"

Everyone is watching, this sand table subverts the history of military maps, that is, military maps, as long as you understand the topography of a place, you can make this kind of sand table, and it is simple and convenient. As far as military operations are concerned, this sand table and military map will fully occupy an advantage in operations, but is this not enough?

Just after Zhou Huchen demonstrated the wonderful use of this sand table to everyone, when everyone was still immersed in the enjoyment and shock of the sand table, a personal soldier ran into the big tent.

Zhou Huchen stretched out his hand to take the document marked as urgent.

It is news from Nanjing, and it is good news, Huang Degong finally acted according to Zhou Huchen's wishes.

The news that Zhou Huchen brought to Huang Degong worked, Huang Degong did not care about the old feelings, nor did he let Liu Liangzuo, the threat stay by his side, and the information that Zhou Huchen gave Huang Degong was enough for Huang Degong to do it.

Three days ago, Huang Degong had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacking Liu Liangzuo at night, and after a frenzied mortar bombardment, Huang Degong had his men throw out thousands of grenades. Liu Liangzuo was not killed, but he was sent to Huang Degong by his own men the next day.

Zhou Huchen would not tell anyone that he came up with this idea, and the evidence of Liu Liangzuo's fornication with Jiannu had been prepared in advance.

Fire and Zhou Huchen is familiar with the road, his men have already arrived in Wuhu in Zhenjiang many days in advance, these people are veterans, veterans of using artillery and throwing grenades, although there are not many people, it is enough to sneak attack Liu Liangzuo's army without defense.

Liu Liangzuo's death, his army was annexed by Huang Degong to solve the worries, although the strength of Jiangfang will be weakened, but it is better than these traitors to defect. This is only to prevent problems before they happen, but also to solve the traitors in advance. Zhou Huchen can understand those disunity, but he can't let the traitors threaten him behind him, and Zhou Huchen's goal has been achieved.

Everything is under control, Zhou Huchen is a little regretful, there is no military and civilian family in this vicinity, and there are no civilian gentry and ordinary people to comfort their army, is the military discipline of his army not good?

Zhou Huchen chose to forgive these people because there were no people nearby. (To be continued......)
