Chapter 602: The Siege of Shenglong VII
Shen Xiyi can make a name for herself in the Ming officialdom. Playing Mo Zhengzhong is still a piece of cake. Between the three words, Mo Zhengzhong was dizzy.
Shen Xiyi returned to her army. Immediately secretly ordered, let them distance themselves from Mo Zhengzhong.
Shen Xiyi secretly said in her heart: "I don't believe that King Yong will let Mo Zhengzhong'an enter Shenglong City safely." Then come and settle accounts with him. ”
Shen Xiyi knew that before entering Thang Long City, there would be a battle. It's just that he can't be sure when this battle will be discovered, so he has to be careful and vigilant, using Mo Zhengzhong's part as bait.
On a pier in the lower reaches of the Red River.
Under the command of Zhu Houhuang, the Yongjun boarded the ship separately.
Liu Laodao is scheduling.
After the boats were full of soldiers, they stopped at the main channel of the Red River, waited for everyone to board the boats, and then set off together.
Fortunately, most of the Yongjun came from Dongyong. I am familiar with the feeling of floating on the sea, and except for a few people, there is no feeling of seasickness.
Zhu Houhuang said to Wang Yangming, who came to see him off: "The camp is here, and it has been handed over to Master Wang." ”
Wang Yangming said: "Please rest assured, it's just that Your Highness is carrying the weight of Dongyong's thousands of catties, please take care of Your Highness." ”
Zhu Houhuang said: "The disciple understands. ”
He also understood that if he died, there was no need to say anything else, Dongyong would definitely be swallowed by Jiajing. So even if Zhu Houhuang prides himself on not being afraid of death, he must take good care of his own life.
Because of this life, it is no longer Zhu Houhuang's alone.
After Zhu Houhuang left. Wang Yangming immediately began to arrange.
First of all, the intensity of the artillery bombardment of the city wall remained unchanged, but the Yong army was withdrawn, and the large camp was increased. The smoke in the camp must be consistent with the previous smoke, and he also arranged all the combat-effective soldiers under his command in the front camp, if it was recognized, Wang Yangming also dared to fight according to the battalion, with a large number of firearms, and the Mo army had a big battle.
"How's Mo Zhengzhong's condition?"
As soon as Zhu Houhuang boarded the ship, he immediately asked Liu Laodao.
Liu Laodao said: "Your Highness, Mo Zhengzhong's department is in the west of Shenglong, and there is a one-day journey from Shenglong. ”
Zhu Houhuang said: "Have you found the battlefield? Then he thought that Liu Laodao had been on the water all his life, and asked him to determine the position for the next battle, not to mention whether it was difficult for a strong man.
Just asked Zhu Houhuang if he was at ease, and the answer was, of course, not at ease.
Zhu Houhuang said: "Forget it, bring the map west of Shenglong to Gu." ”
Liu Laodao said: "Yes." ”
Not long after, a scroll of maps unfolded in front of Zhu Houhuang.
However, in Zhu Houhuang's view, this map was very dissatisfied.
The popularization of many new inventions and technologies takes time, and the speed of popularizing knowledge in this era is even slower. When Zhu Houhuang was in Beijing, he drew maps in latitude and longitude and determined the rules for drawing military maps.
But the problem is that it is easy to determine the rules of military maps, but it is not too easy to cultivate scouts who can read, draw, and fight.
Moreover, Zhu Houhuang has been fighting continuously in the past few years, and he has not calmed down to train people in the army.
Therefore, Zhu Houhuang also has to endure the messy pictures. Take your time to identify this map.
How big the error is on this map, Zhu Houhuang himself does not have a score.
Yu Dayou has been following Zhu Houhuang for a long time, and he knows Zhu Houhuang very well, and said: "Your Highness, otherwise, I will go to explore the terrain first." ”
"Okay." Zhu Houhuang was relieved of Yu Dayou. "Just ask General Yu to go and investigate."
Yu Dayou took the first step, took a clipper, went ashore in the upper reaches of the Red River, and after converging the scouts of each house, he took a hundred and ten cavalrymen to inspect the road that Mo Zhengzhong was going to take.
Honestly. Thang Long is located in the middle of the Red River Delta, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, gradually entering the sea, but there are no high mountains and mountains, it can be said that it is a flat river, but there is more water.
The flat terrain has nothing to ambush at all, Yu Dayou turned around, the only thing that is certain is that this battle is a tough battle, don't think of any tricks.
At this moment, Mo Dengyong is also struggling repeatedly.
Waiting for news from Mo Zhengzhong.
On the short road of dozens of miles between Thang Long City and Mo Zhengzhong, a tragic scout battle broke out.
Zhu Houhuang did not have a cavalry, but there were still horses for the scouts, but the number was not large, but in order to cut off the connection between Shenglong and Mo Zhengzhong, thousands of scouts were invested in this area.
The so-called scouts, the so-called night non-collection, are all elites in the army, and they must have at least several years of experience to be competent. Therefore, there are not many qualified nights on Zhu Houhuang's side.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Annan Shaoma, their ability to intercept and kill scouts is too far from the Mongols, so Zhu Houhuang's unqualified scouts here can be regarded as a barely usable standard.
In addition, in Thang Long City, it is Wu Ming's department, and Wu Ming himself is not from the night, and it is appropriate for him to preside over this small-scale battle. Therefore, most of the spies sent by Mo Dengyong were intercepted and killed halfway, and even if a few could reach Mo Zhengzhong's army, they would rarely be able to return to Shenglong City.
Mo Dengyong naturally asked Mo Zhengzhong to go back. But Mo Zhengzhong has come this far, how can he go back.
Mo Zhengzhong felt that Mo Dengyong underestimated himself, but he was even more determined to prove his strength to his father. I am determined to give full play to my abilities in the next big battle.
A letter, I don't know how many scouts I bypassed, and finally came to Thang Long City, after all, the Mo clan is the head snake of the earth. The terrain near Thang Long can no longer be familiar, and if you want to pass the blockade, although it is difficult, it can still be done.
It's just that this letter, Mo Dengyong looked at the date, and knew that it was several days ago.
Mo Dengyong looked at the content again, calculated it carefully, his face suddenly turned pale, and said, "Let's get ready to fight." ”
In terms of time, Mo Zhengzhong has already walked a short distance to the west of Thang Long City, and there will be a day or two, but it is not too much.
A big war is imminent, and there is little chance of recovery.
Whether to fight or not, Mo Dengyong struggled for a long time in his heart. I had to choose to play.
Like Zhu Houhuang, the army under Mo Dengyong is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Mo Dengyong's support is the tens of thousands of elite troops, and the rest of the troops are a little stronger than the people. And they are all recruiting the people in Shenglong City, if it weren't for Mo Dengyong cleaning up the Zheng clan, he would also clean up Shenglong City, Mo Dengyong wouldn't dare to send all the elite troops out.
Even now, it's a very risky thing to do
The so-called few people who send charcoal in the snow, and many people who fall into the well, Mo Dengyong is facing the rout of the Yongjun army, everyone can see it. Under such circumstances, how can there be no people in Thang Long City who are not wavering in their hearts and want to sacrifice the city. Under the suppression of Mo Dengyong's army, there were no problems. But after Mo Dengyong's army is dispatched, will there be problems.
And if, after Mo Dengyong left the city, the Yong army attacked the city on a large scale, and there was no elite Mo army as the backbone, it was also unknown whether the remaining people could hold the city.
Mo Dengyong expected that the Yongjun army would definitely make a move on Mo Zhengzhong's army, but if he didn't do it, he would desperately attack the city after he left the city. It's also a way.
Anyway, Mo Zhengzhong's move suddenly put Mo Dengyong in a passive state.
But Mo Dengyong couldn't help but save Mo Zhengzhong.
Without him, he was trapped in Thang Long City, and if there was no one for the Mo clan to preside over outside, maybe after the siege of Thang Long City was lifted, the entire northern part of Annan would not be the territory of the Mo clan. Then, his perseverance in Thang Long City was not in vain.
Therefore, Mo Zhengzhong's sister-in-law is very important to Mo Dengyong.
If Mo Zhengzhong was not maintained outside, Mo Dengyong would rather escape from Thang Long City than fight the Yong army in Thang Long City. Although Thang Long City was lost. It means that the Mohs trend has gone. It is even said that it is impossible for the Mo clan to protect the entire Annan and North, but Mo Dengyong feels that with his own strength, with the soldiers and horses in his hands, he can still do it, and when the time comes, he will surrender to King Yong, and King Yong will not accept it. Isn't it much stronger than fighting to the death and ascending to the dragon, and getting nothing?
