Chapter 55: Fledgling?
Ming Ruijiang is such a son, if he dies on the battlefield, there will be no queen, so he immediately sent people to look for it, what he didn't know was that the people who went to look for it had not yet set off, and Ming Yan's troops had already set up camp and were just waiting for a battle.
The enemy of this confrontation is Di Rong, the northwest frontier is often harassed by Di Rong, the perennial war continues, Di Rong people are short of food and clothing on the border to rob, and even rob women and strong men, although this is also an annual offering, bow down to the Dayong Dynasty, but just a month ago, Di Rong's just appointed leader Chi Huo Zhen actually killed the messenger sent by Dayong.
Provocation! Blatant provocation!
At that time, Jing Shen had not succeeded to the throne, and the first emperor Jing Qian was not easy to mess with, how could he allow such a subsidiary tribe to be bullied, so he ordered Zhu Jiulong's eldest brother Zhu Qiu to be the commander of the army.
Jing Qian probably thought that his grandfather Zhu Fushan was a one-man general, and his grandson was naturally not the same, besides, Zhu Qiu had gone on an expedition with Zhu Fushan, and he had rich combat experience.
Jing Qian thought this way for no reason, Zhu Fushan's son Zhu Qing, who is also Zhu Qiu's father, is also a famous general, and he is especially unique in leading troops, which can be called the division of tigers and wolves.
There must be a father and a son, and it must make sense.
Zhu Qiu, who was only twenty-five years old, became the commander of the 200,000-strong army, which can be described as a must.
It is also a great honor for Zhu Qiu himself.
It stands to reason that Zhu Fushan should not have agreed to Ming Yan's request casually, not to mention that taking Ming Ruijiang's only son out on an adventure may also ruin the harmony between the two families, and the relationship between civil and military officials is not harmonious, but after a few conversations with Ming Yan, he put aside all his worries and let Ming Yan go out with the army, in his opinion, Ming Yan's courage and talent are by no means ordinary.
Before leaving, Zhu Fushan told him in every possible way to protect Mingyan's safety.
So the mighty army of 200,000 set out.
……
Di Rong was a nomadic and very flexible, and when he learned that Zhu Qiu was coming with an army of 200,000, he immediately took refuge, but not fled.
Zhu Qiu thought that it would be a big battle, but he didn't expect it to be searching, and the march for several days was still fruitless.
Perhaps he wanted to prove his strength in a hurry, and after discovering a few cavalry forces, he immediately chased after them, but he was ambushed.
In the end, he is young, light on the enemy's advance, eager for quick success, and the troops led by Chi Huo Zhen are ambushing here.
As a result, the army was crushed, and Zhu Qiu and several teams of cavalry led by him were besieged by the enemy.
At this time, Zhu Qiu was so happy that he didn't know his situation at all, and even forgot that he was the commander of the entire army, and the battlefield scheduling still depended on him.
The other generals could not see the commander, almost in a state of confusion, they had to kill the enemy when they saw it, there was no organizational plan, the formation was quickly disrupted, and before the soldiers could react, they were cut down by the orderly Di Rong cavalry, but among these panicked soldiers, there was a battalion of soldiers who seemed to be organized and fought forward, it was the soldiers led by Ming Yan.
So the generals immediately rushed towards the seemingly safe troops, and when Ming Yan saw that the situation was not good, he issued an order to immediately regroup the troops.
The cavalry will lead the charge, the infantry will encircle and suppress from the left and right flanks, and the crossbowmen will act as cover.
