Chapter 877: Winner and Loser Twelve

Zhu Houhuang knows how powerful it is. So as soon as these cavalry appeared, Zhu Houhuang dispelled the idea of going to war.

Zhu Houhuang gritted his teeth, he had only one requirement for the defense of the entire camp, and he did it step by step.

The entire camp of the Yongjun army is in the shape of "product".

On one side, it is near the river, that is, the Yao River, and there is a port here, and there is a small water village, however, the river here is not suitable for the water village, so the defense of the water village is not tight.

Zhu Houhuang's camp is in the middle of the word "product", and in Zhu Houhuang's camp, there are all the elite troops of the Yong Army, Li Ziyun's battalion, Liu Bochen's battalion, and Li Liangqin's Long Xiangwei.

And the periphery is all the camp of the people.

No, they can't be called civil husbands anymore, because Zhu Houhuang is demanding them at the behest of the soldiers.

It's not why, it's because Zhu Houhuang wants to treat them as cannon fodder.

Zhu Houhuang considered that they were temporary conscripted people, and their serious training did not take a month, and the rest of the time they were marching with the army, or escorting grain and grass, and establishing camps.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang assigned them a particularly detailed one, almost above the wall, who was responsible for the wooden stake.

Zhu Houhuang wanted to use strict organization to weaken the low quality of individual soldiers.

This method is absolutely not possible in field warfare, but it can barely be used when defending the city.

And Zhu Houhuang's Dazhai is almost a city.

Tens of thousands of people can't do anything else, but they do civil engineering to attack the city, but it is first-class, and the gentleman camps according to the traditional camping method, burns one end of the wood into charcoal, and then plants it into the soil.

The pieces of wood are tightly pressed together to form a wooden wall, and then one step or more on the wooden wall, a wooden stake is nailed, and then countless pieces of wood are nailed together, and one side is nailed to the wooden wall, and the other side is supported on the wooden stake, and it becomes a simple wooden city.

Outside, there were ravines, and in the ravines, there were sharp stakes. Falling down is almost a death. There simply wouldn't be any other situation.

And this defense is not this simple one, it is only a few dozen steps past a wooden wall, and there is an obstacle, which is also a trench, and there is a wall opposite this trench, of course, this wall is not very high. It's not very strong, but it's made of earth.

However, because of the drop in the trench, in the trench, it is impossible to directly touch the wall, and the Yongjun soldiers standing on it can easily stab the spear from this height and kill a person at once, which is extremely easy.

These are just two lines of defense.

There are still many traps in the face, especially when it comes to Zhu Houhuang's main camp, which is extremely well defended.

Not to mention the more than 100 artillery pieces of all sizes on the head of the city, just talk about this walled wall, although this walled wall is solid wood for the bone, and the soil is used as the filling, although it is not too high, but from a distance, it is almost a city wall.

This kind of defense is simply extremely tight.

"What a Yongwang is simply not leaking?" Fu Qiang Bo Mao Rui took a closer look at King Yong's camp. I had to sigh and said: "However, King Yong's arrangement is just a mediocre general." ”

"What does the general say about this?" Mao Jiang hurriedly went up to make fun.

Mao Rui said: "The defense of the Yongjun army seems to be very stable, but in fact, the Yongjun's all-encompassing method is simply not exhaustive. Remember to be both offensive and defensive, but to be focused. ”

Mao Rui saw that Mao Jiang was still thinking, but he didn't actually see it, and he didn't give any more hints, but said: "Who is willing to go to the Yongjun camp for me to explore the reality of the Yongjun." ”

In fact, exploring the truth is secondary, but it is a procedure before the war, and in any case, at least a letter of persuasion is required. Only Zhu Houhuang refused, then the battle could begin.

After a while, Zhu Houhuang saw Mao Rui's letter of persuasion.

Zhu Houhuang didn't even look at it, so he handed it over to He Wenyuan for disposal. He Wenyuan was born as a scholar, and it is very suitable to deal with these documents.

Anyway, it's all some routine persuasion.

Zhu Houhuang is not the kind of person who can be persuaded to surrender at all.

The politeness of both sides is over.

The real battle began.

Mao Rui first occupied the city to cover up. Countless cavalry galloped everywhere, and the night of the Yong army was not collected, and it was also on these two vast lands, in the wind howling, the scouts of both sides fought each other, and from time to time someone fell from his horse and landed on the ground of the battlefield.

No one would give them a second glance, because everyone knew that it was just an appetizer, not a formal battle at all.

As Fu Qiangbo's troops approached step by step, everyone on the wall of Yongjun Zhai began to get nervous.

"Your Highness has arrived." Suddenly, they heard a man shouting at a loud voice. Everyone turned their heads, and sure enough, Zhu Houhuang was wearing a bright armor, and under the sun, it seemed to be shining, straight into the heavens.

Everywhere he passed, there was a cheer, and the morale of the Yongjun suddenly became high.

Three months, less than three months. These new recruits replenished by Fuzhou were just cleaning up the battlefield, and they had no contact with formal battles at all.

Wait a while, as soon as the fight starts, you will know who is the real gold.

Zhu Houhuang walked around the camp, every time he saw a person, he was encouraged, they all seemed to be excited, it was not that these peasants did not have knowledge, even now, if one could meet the leader of the country, wouldn't it be excited?

"Look, sir." Li Liangqin's face changed, and he said to Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang immediately looked over with a clairvoyant mirror, his face suddenly changed, Zhu Houhuang turned his head and said, "Uncle, what do the embroidered guards do to eat, why didn't these two cannons be discovered?" ”

Wu Fengyi's face changed suddenly, and two cannons also appeared in his telescope.

It's a cannon, it's really a cannon.

Because of the distance, Zhu Houhuang couldn't see the specific size of the cannon clearly, but he could see that the two cannons were very heavy, because they used more than a dozen horses to pull them, so the wheels of the gun carriage were still deeply sunk into the ground, and there had to be many soldiers to push desperately in order to move forward slowly.

Regardless of the shortcomings of these two cannons, in terms of volume, their power is first-class.

"The sin of the minister deserves death." Wu Fengyi hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"Okay, don't excuse yourself, I just ask where did this thing come from?" Zhu Houhuang said. At this time, Zhu Houhuang didn't have the time or energy to ask what the truth of the matter was, and he had to deal with the practical problems first.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Go find two bronze cannons." ”

"Your Highness." Li Liangqin whispered in Zhu Houhuang's ear: "Your Highness has decided before, because the outer camp is just used to delay time, so it is enough to use only some Franc cannons, and these copper cannons are placed inside, and it is a little too late to find copper cannons at this time." ”

Zhu Houhuang's face twitched a little, he was simply shooting himself in the foot.

Zhu Houhuang looked at the location of Fu Qiangbo's Chinese military flag, and couldn't help but have a feeling of hatred.

And he didn't know that Fu Qiang Bo Mao Rui was also looking at Zhu Houhuang at the moment, and he wanted to thank Zhu Houhuang for the clairvoyant mirror water that Zhu Houhuang gave to Zhengde, and the eunuchs in the palace, but how vast is this technology to be carried forward.

However, qualified generals will have a clairvoyant mirror.

Zhu Houhuang was wearing such a burnt bag, which was almost a highlight at a glance. is the most conspicuous, how can Mao Rui not see it.

Mao Rui estimated that it was almost there, and said, "Order, prepare to fire." ”

Preparing to open fire on this kind of heavy old artillery is still a big project, dozens of people are busy with this cannon, and there is a circle of non-commissioned soldiers to surround these artillery.

"Your Highness, the minister has found out." Wu Fengyi ran out of breath and said, "Your Highness found out." ”

"Where did this cannon come from?" Zhu Houhuang asked.

"Nanjing." Wu Fengyi said: "When Emperor Taizu built Nanjing City, he built a batch of giant cannons to guard Nanjing City. ”()
