Chapter 14 Zhu Di: It's sloppy
On the Dongshan Plain, the White Horse Yicong, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Wei Wushu, and the Musketeers joined the division.
Tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Beijing battalion led by Han Jinhu personally died after the battle, and there were less than 3,000 people left. After the defeat of Dong Liangce, the general of the Beijing camp, he killed himself, and all 50,000 elites of the Beijing camp were besieged and killed by Wu Qi.
The three thousand white horse Yicong killed more than 500 cavalry in this battle because they faced 10,000 iron cavalry, and Wei Wushu under the command of Wu Qi suffered very few casualties, and less than 40 people died in the full battle. The rest of the troops did not participate in the battle, and there were no casualties.
Winning a complete victory, Zhu Huan and Jingying fought on two fronts, and both fronts won a great victory, killing 57,000 elites in Jingying at a cost of less than 600 people, including 7,000 battle-hardened iron cavalry, and capturing 3,000 cavalry.
"Chitose King Qi!"
"His Highness Chitose!"
The cavalry of the Beijing camp stretched out their arms and shouted weakly, obviously not sincerely surrendering, but just forced to helplessly.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these people?" Wu Qi asked.
"We raised troops under the slogan of Fengtian Jingjing, if we kill and surrender, it will inevitably cause local opposition, although it will not have much impact, but this will not do us any good." Zhu Huan touched his chin and said, "Keep it for now, and then we will go to the Marshal's Mansion of the Beijing Camp, where there are still 20,000 remnants of the Beijing Battalion, so let these 3,000 cavalry fight the vanguard." ”
"Your Highness, if you let these cavalrymen in Jingying kill each other, I'm afraid they will rebel." Wu Qi frowned.
The surrender of the cavalry of the Beijing camp was not considered loyalty, and if they were allowed to fight the remnants of the Beijing camp, it would inevitably cause some fierce contradictions, leading to the final rebellion of the Beijing camp.
"Nonsense, I'm just going to force them to rebel." Zhu Huan said: "Although these people in Beijing have fallen, they may turn back at any time, instead of waiting for them to turn back on the water, it is better for us to force them to turn back first." When fighting the palace marshal's mansion in Beijing, if they are reversed, then we will be famous and can serve the pot together. If they don't rebel, do you really expect these 3,000 cavalry to defeat the 20,000 elite Jingshi Palace Marshal's Mansion? When they are almost dead, we will go up again and clear out the rest of the Beijing defense troops. ”
Wu Qi gasped: "His Royal Highness's clever means will be admired by the general!" ”
Wu Qi's era was the Warring States Period, and during the Warring States Period, although the countries were in dispute, everyone talked about the rules among themselves, such as the side defending the city hung up the "war-free card", and then the side attacking the city really stopped fighting.
At that time, where was it like now, now if you look at the city and hang a "war-free card", the siege of the city will say: "Look, everyone, there is a fool here, a war-free card?" I don't care what kind of war-free cards you have, kill you idiot and it's over! ”
As a commander of one side, your kindness to the enemy is cruelty to your own soldiers.
On the battlefield, there is never any bullshit gentleman.
"Order all the armies, continue to march, and we must bring down the Marshal's Mansion of the Jingying Palace today." Zhu Huan ordered.
Jingying is a nail beside Jinling City, if he doesn't pull out this nail, he won't be able to sleep well.
"The last general commands!"
"The last general commands!"
“……”
Yan Gang asked: "Your Highness, what should you do with this Han Jinhu?" ”
Han Jinhu, who is the marshal of the Jingying Palace, is now tied up with five flowers and tied to a horse, and he can't commit suicide if he wants to.
"Han Jinhu's life is kept, tied up, and escorted back to Jinling after being defeated in the Jingying Palace's Marshal's Mansion." Zhu Huan said after thinking for a while.
Killing Han Jinhu will not do him any good, it is better to keep it and tie it up, and when the time comes, he will take the ministers of Jinling City and Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen and give them to Zhu Di as gifts.
"Fourth brother, we're finally about to meet." Zhu Huan was a little emotional.
……
Zhenjiang
"Push the siege cart over and beat Lao Tzu to death!"
Countless arrows crackled and fell, countless flaming firebolts exploded on the towering walls of Zhenjiang, billowing black smoke covered the sky, like terrifying giant beasts staring at humans as small as ants.
The soldiers rushed one after another, and the blood stained the blue bricks of the city wall red, and they climbed the ladder to rush to the top of the city, but the soldiers defending the city smashed it down with a boulder, and the hot and bubbling gold juice fell from the top of the city, and splashed on the besieging soldiers, and in an instant the skin was opened, and they rolled down the ladder with a wail.
Zhu Di put on his battle armor, wiped the blood from his face casually, and returned to the military tent in the rear.
Yao Guangxiao, a black-clothed monk, sat calmly on a hay futon and meditated, chanting softly.
"Damn, did the defenders of Zhenjiang drink fake wine, don't die if you defend the city?" Zhu Di took a sip of water and said scoldingly.
Zhu Di led the elite of 100,000 Yan divisions to the south, attacking the city all the way, invincible, easily conquering Cangzhou, Dezhou, Qingzhou and other important cities, and breaking through the most important defense line of the imperial army in one day. Zhu Di judged that the main strength of the imperial army should be concentrated in Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places, so he simply continued to detour to the southeast non-stop, and chose to avoid the main force of the imperial army, go south to cross the river, and take Zhenjiang directly.
Zhenjiang is the last line of defense of Jinling City, as long as Zhenjiang is defeated, Zhu Di can wave his army to attack the capital.
Sheng Yong never expected that Zhu Di would choose such an unexpected route and steal the nest directly!
However, there is also a disadvantage of hitting Zhenjiang directly, that is, it must be fast.
Capture Zhenjiang, take Jinling directly, and rely on the strong defensive ability of Jinling City to resist Sheng Yong's army.
If Zhu Di is stuck here by Zhenjiang's defense line, and when the armies of Xuzhou and Yangzhou react, then Zhu Di will be greeted by a dead end of front and back.
"Today I received a military report, the content of which surprised me." Yao Guangxiao said lightly: "King Qi knocked Jinling down. ”
"yes, I see."
Zhu Di was suddenly stunned: "Wait, what did you just say?" ”
"King Qi knocked Jinling down." Yao Guangxiao repeated.
“?”
Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao with puzzled eyes: "You, old monk, are you afraid that you are not making fun of me?" ”
What an international joke!
What does it mean that King Qi knocked down Jinling?!
Zhu Di's whole person is not good, he worked hard to lead an army of 100,000 to the south, and took over the door that had just arrived at the door of the imperial court, and now you tell me that the imperial court's hometown was stolen?
"I'm not kidding, King Qi really knocked Jinling down." Yao Guangxiao said seriously: "The ministers of Jinling City have sent news that King Qi's army has taken control of Jinling City overnight, and Emperor Jianwen is now imprisoned in the Qianqing Palace by King Qi's army. ”
"Wait a minute, where did King Qi get his army?"
"I don't know."
Zhu Di's whole person was messy.
It's hasty, I knew that the thirteenth brother had this ability, so why did this king take the risk of going south!
What a sloppy one!
