Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhou Nian, who was arranging with Shi Caiying to command the military and civilians in Chuzhou, and couldn't help but be curious: "We really want to know what's going on, which of you will tell us about it?" ”

As Tang He told Zhou Nian about the deeds of summoning the people of the counties in advance and encouraging the people to speed up with rewards on the road, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the situation faced by the military and civilians in Chuzhou at that time, and couldn't help but sigh: "This gentleman is a wise person, otherwise our brothers may have to meet below tonight." ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of Shi Caiying again, as well as many cronies around Qi Heng who had been pulled up by one hand.

I have to admit that these people were all unknown little people before following Qi Heng, but after following Qi Heng, they all showed their ability to surpass ordinary people.

It can be seen that these people certainly have some talents, but the key is the role that Qi Heng plays in this.

As a handsome, Zhu Yuanzhang will always have an opinion that distinguishes him from others when looking at a matter, and can find the reason for the essence of the matter.

After chatting with the brothers in the city for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained the relaxed look on his face.

"Okay, anyway, now that the brothers have arrived safely in the city, we should find a way to deal with the attack of the Yuan army's 150,000 troops."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this number, everyone on the side also frowned.

Today, the total number of troops in Huanggang City is only more than 50,000. But it was 150,000 people to face.

This number may seem like a three-fold difference. But the real situation is that the Yuan army outnumbered them by a full 100,000 people!

In the entire Huaixi region, even if you add the 20,000 elite soldiers taken away by Qi Heng, all the troops together are only more than 70,000 people.

And after the Yuan army has offset their strength, it can still have an extra 100,000.

One can imagine what kind of battle they will face next.

Although the walls of Huanggang City have expanded a lot under Qi Heng's governance, it seems that the city is high and the walls are thick.

But the scale can't be compared with the scale of Jinling.

If only a battle of less than 50,000 people occurs, then the walls of Huanggang City can naturally replace its effect to the greatest extent.

But now, it's 150,000!

150,000 people gathered together, and the scene was so overwhelming that you couldn't even see the edge.

With such a large-scale siege of troops, if you get rid of it without counting the loss, you can even surround the entire Huanggang City several times.

A heavy army of soldiers can attack the city from all directions.

Until the troops in Huanggang City are exhausted.

If you face such a siege method, even if the Martial Saint is alive, it will not help.

This is also why before Qi Heng left the city, he would agree with Zhu Yuanzhang that the people guarding Huanggang City were the most dangerous.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang and his brothers were discussing the next affairs of defending the city.

On the other side, the detachment army, which was rapidly approaching in the direction of Huanggang City, also got the news that the front-line cavalry had returned in vain.

Faced with such a result, Tokhtar was obviously a little dissatisfied.

But he also knew that these cavalrymen were not to blame.

If you want to blame, you can only blame why they didn't discover the retreat of the soldiers and civilians in Chuzhou City earlier.

If they could have found out earlier, then they could have dispatched a large army to encircle the soldiers and civilians of Chuzhou City when they had just left.

At that time, the rebel turmoil in the entire Huaixi region and even the entire Anhui region will be completely and easily quelled.

The situation in the southeastern provinces of the entire Yuan Dynasty could also be completely reversed.

The rebel forces are forever surrounded by them, unable to form a limited connection.

The rebels who cannot become powerful will eventually be pacified one day.

On the contrary, once Anhui is completely lost and falls into the hands of the rebels, then it will form a large-scale rebel force with the rebel armies of Zhang Shicheng in Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu in the Central Plains.

Even if they don't belong to the same camp as each other, their attitude towards the Yuan army is the same.

With such a general trend, even if they want to settle the judgment, they have no way to start.

And in the entire Jiangbei region, which is sandwiched between several provinces, it will also become the meat of the rebels' mouths, and it can be easily eaten at any time.

At the same time, the formation of this vision range also divided the territory of the entire Yuan Dynasty into two halves, north and south.

If you want to reach the Gangnam area, you need to travel around most of the country.

In addition, the central and western mountains of the Yuan Dynasty were isolated, and they were not at all as continuous as the plains of the southeast coast, running through the north and south.

This also meant that the Yuan Dynasty's control over the entire southern part of the Yuan Dynasty's territory would be greatly reduced.

He deeply understood the important influence of the Anhui territory on the strategic level of the entire Yuan Dynasty, and secretly regretted the loss of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this time, for some reason, there was always an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

It seems that this missed fighter may be the last chance of his life.

Feeling the uneasiness in his heart, Tokh Tokh gritted his teeth, even if his heart was full of uneasy emotions, but the reality of the situation was already like this, and he had to continue.

The reality does not change in any way because of his personal will.

In any case, there are still 150,000 troops under his command, while Zhu Yuanzhang on the opposite side only has 50,000 troops.

and was also trapped in the small county town of Huanggang.

In terms of situation, they are still absolutely dominant.

And if it is completely dark today, it is too risky to continue the march, and if you retreat to Chuzhou City at this moment, the distance between you and Huanggang is too far.

is not conducive to their siege, and at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang may also take this opportunity to run away, or even transfer to Haozhou City.

Thinking of this, Tokhtar no longer hesitated and directly ordered everyone to start camping in place, making fires and cooking, and waiting for dawn to launch a general attack on Huanggang City, striving to conquer it in a battle.

As the stars began to twinkle in the sky, smoke rose from the camp of the army.

At this time, Tokto's army was divided into three routes.

The Chinese army was 70,000, with 40,000 on the left and right flanks.

Such a formation can effectively protect the security of the Chinese army, and can support each other at any time.

There will be no chaos in the entire 150,000-strong army because of any unexpected situation.

At the same time, the distribution of the three armed forces and the controllable areas are also larger, which can effectively play the role of prevention and reconnaissance.

At this time, the detachment of the Chinese army camp.

All the generals under his command were concentrated in the camp of Tokhtar.

In front of each of them was a roasted lamb and cow, which was constantly cut with a knife and put in their mouths, and then served with wine.

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's food, Yuan Jun is too extravagant.

This is also the reason why so many Han people, even though they knew that the uprising of the rebels could restore China, still chose to take refuge in the Yuan court.
