Chapter 23: The Five Elements Battle Technique Comes to Dreams

Zhu Youlang has Zhu Cijiao, a small military division, as a staff officer, guarding Guilin is much more worry-free, he deals with the affairs of the imperial court during the day, and dreams of Zhu Cijiao as soon as he falls asleep at night, to see his martial arts practice and life in the deep mountains, and by the way to ask if there is any enemy situation in Guilin.

Seeing Zhu Ci practicing martial arts with great strength, Tai Chi, light gong, darts, crossbow shooting, hunting and other martial arts are improving day by day, Zhu Youlang is sincerely gratified.

Unconsciously, Zhu Cijiao in the dream has grown to be more than one meter tall, and has grown into a handsome young man who can dance with guns and sticks, and hunt on horseback.

On the first day of the fourth winter month of Yongli, the night, as usual, gradually quieted down.

Zhu Youlang, who had returned from patrolling, had just fallen asleep, and his dream was slowly spreading out as usual-

On a sunny afternoon, the mountains are clear, the sky is high, and white clouds float in the blue sky.

Zhu Cijiao, who looked like a three-foot man, walked out of the thatched hut with a crossbow on his back and a shuttle mark, and walked along the mountain road to a mountain forest dyed red with maple leaves.

As he walked, he whistled softly and wandered leisurely.

Suddenly, a wild boar, about a meter long, ran in front of him and quickly scurried into the jungle.

"Wow, wild boar." Zhu Cijiao screamed in surprise and hurried to catch up.

The wild boar ran in front, and Zhu Cijiao chased after him like a fly.

Across the jungle, across the ravine, and when he got closer, he threw the shuttle in his hand......

In the sun, the pike passes through the treetops and goes straight to the boar's back.

After the boar was injured by the pike, it slowed down.

Zhu Cijiao jumped over in a vertical step and suddenly rode on the back of the wild boar. Grab the boar's ear with his left hand, and pull a sharp knife from his waist with his right hand and slash it at the boar's throat.

I saw the white knife enter, the red knife came out, and a stream of pig blood suddenly spurted out......

The wild boar struggled and cried on the ground. Zhu Cijiao rode on the pig's back and grabbed the pig's ears with both hands. Gradually, the boar crawled on the ground and lost its breath.

The scene of Zhu Ci slaughtering the ferocious wild boar was really shocking, Zhu Youlang saw it in his eyes, but his hands were tight.

Seeing that Zhu Cijiao was about to kill the wild boar alive, he couldn't help but praise it: "Erchen, it's good!" He must be a good killer in the future! ”

Zhu Ciyi turned around and saw Zhu Youlang clapping his hands beside him.

"Father, the Qing army is about to attack Guilin, why do you still have time to watch your sons hunt? You should check the defenses on the castle tower now! Zhu Cijiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhu Youlang with his eyes.

"What? The Qing army is going to attack Guilin? Is the intelligence accurate? Zhu Youlang asked in surprise.

"To be accurate, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan of the Qing court, has mobilized 20,000 Qing soldiers, and on the fifth day of the winter month, he attacked Guilin, and Guilin was in an emergency."

"Guilin is in a hurry!" Zhu Youlang shouted and woke up from his dream.

The dream support function of the dragon protection system is also too powerful, not only can it broadcast the dream live, but Zhu Cijiao and Zhu Youlang can also talk in the dream.

At this time, there was still an hour before dawn, and thinking of "Guilin is in an emergency", Zhu Youlang couldn't close his eyes, and finally survived until dawn.

For Kong Youde, Zhu Youlang is no stranger. Although this person has "virtue" in his name, in fact, his virtues have been eaten up by dogs.

Kong Youde Liaodong Gaizhou Weiren, originally a powerful general of the Ming Dynasty, after the Qing army entered the customs, he became the scum of the Ming Dynasty, defected to the Qing army, sold his ancestors for glory, and the Qing court named him the king of Gongshun.

In the later wars of the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, Kong Youde was indispensable in almost every war, and he used the heads and blood of Ming officers and soldiers to make great contributions to the Qing army.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Yongli, Kong Youde took the initiative to ask the Qing court to attack Guangxi, and the Qing court approved him to change his title to the king of Dingnan and send troops to Guangxi.

Zhu Ci dreams of Guilin! That's absolutely true.

Although the traffic information is blocked and cannot be verified, Zhu Youlang still believes it is true, because before, Zhu Ci's N many dreams have been verified, and none of them are false.

As soon as the day dawned, Zhu Youlang summoned the ministers Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiqi into the palace to discuss the plan for Guilin's city defense.

"Lord Zhang, Lord Qu, last night the emperor Zhu Ci said in a dream that Kong Youde led 20,000 Qing troops to attack Guilin on the fifth day of the first month of winter, and now call the two to discuss how to defend?" Zhu Youlang actually told Zhu Ci about his dream.

"Your Majesty, do you believe in such a thing as a dream?" Zhang Tongchang felt a little ridiculous and couldn't help asking.

"Believe, the prince has dreamed a few times, and all of them have worked, you don't have to doubt this." Zhu Youlang didn't want to explain more, and even if he wanted to explain more, he couldn't explain it.

At this time, the strength of the Yongli Imperial Court was less than 10,000 people, and if Kong Youde led 20,000 Qing soldiers to attack, Guilin would be more than auspicious.

The enemy is strong and I am weak, how to defend it?

Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiqian discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't find a solution.

"Go back and wait for the decree, it seems that you can only wait for my nephew's dream." Zhu Youlang looked disappointed, waved his right sleeve, and let the two adults out of the hall.

"Waiting for a dream?" When Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun walked out of the palace, they both felt incredible, and they read softly in their mouths, and both of them couldn't help but laugh secretly.

After the two adults left, Zhu Youlang sat quietly in the palace, regretting that he didn't ask Zhu Ciyu in his dream, what is the countermeasure?

Now, the only way to do this is to fall asleep at night.

At night, Zhu Youlang went to bed early. Fortunately, Zhu Youlang dreamed of Zhu Ciyi.

"Erchen, the Qing army is attacking Guilin, do you have a way to deal with it?"

"Father, you can adopt the 'Five Elements' method of battle of gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

"Five Elements Tactics, you can be specific."

"It is to set up five lines of defense of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are interlocking and drag down the Qing soldiers, and the specific methods are as follows."

Golden Defense: Select 1,000 cavalry, build the first line of defense, meet the enemy head-on, raise the head with the knife and fall, quickly cut the enemy, quickly retreat, and lure the enemy into the next line of defense.

Wood defense: select 3,000 archers, ambush and set up the second line of defense, clear troops into the defense area, 10,000 arrows in unison, quickly retreat, and lure the enemy into the next line of defense.

Water defense: Relying on the topography of the river, set up a wooden bridge that is easy to destroy at the necessary place, lure the enemy into the bridge, that is, destroy the wooden bridge, and 4,000 Qing soldiers turned around and fired arrows together.

Fire defense: Build a flammable annex gate outside the city gate, place a large amount of firewood and grass, and after 4,000 troops withdraw to lure the enemy in, close the annex gate at the same time and set fire to the annexed city.

Earth defense: 5,000 officers and soldiers guarded the city gate to prevent the enemy from sneak attack, and 4,000 retreating elite soldiers supplemented the city defense......

"Father, is this plan available for sons?"

"Good, good! Erchen was able to come up with such an exquisite tactic! Zhu Youlang couldn't help but praise Zhu Ciyu again.

"What's so difficult about this, what kind of heads do the ministers around my father and emperor have? Is there no way at all? Zhu Ciji couldn't help but sigh for Zhu Youlang.

"They know that they will not use their brains like the ministers when they wait for my decree."

"Alas, no wonder Da Ming will lose so badly."

"Yes, I don't have talents." Zhu Youlang couldn't help but sigh.

"Father, it's okay, the minister has retired." Zhu Cijiao said, the figure flickered a few times, and then disappeared.

"Ah......" Zhu Youlang was dumbfounded, and gradually, he woke up from his dream.
