Chapter 24: The Five Elements Tactics Are Really Awesome

After waking up from the dream, Zhu Youlang pinched his fingers and calculated, there were only four days before the Qing army attacked Guilin that Zhu Ci told in his dream.

Zhu Youlang couldn't wait for dawn.

"Ahem, ahem." He coughed loudly twice.

"Your Majesty, what do you have to say?" Li Guotai, who was sleeping in the room, gently pushed the door and came in.

"Hurry up and summon Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun to my study, and have important matters to discuss."

"Huh." Li Guotai hurriedly withdrew, and hurried to the residence of the two adults.

"Cluck, cluck...... Lord Zhang, summoned by the emperor, please hurry to the study. Li Guotai knocked on Lord Zhang's door, and then knocked on Lord Qu's door.

The emperor summoned him in the middle of the night, and there must be something urgent.

Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and after getting up quickly, they hurriedly walked into the study behind Li Guotai.

"Ahem, Lord Zhang, Lord Qu, have you figured out a way to deal with the matter of defense?" Zhu Youlang coughed dryly twice and asked.

"Humble, no."

"Humble, no."

At the moment of the great enemy, Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun did not come up with a way to resist the enemy, and they were still asleep, and they were really not afraid that the Qing army would break through the city and move into their heads.

"Just now, the emperor Zhu Cijiao gave me a dream and talked about the countermeasures, now please consider the two adults." Zhu Youlang shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, is the prince really dreaming?" Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun opened their eyes wide at the same time.

"Yes, his good plan for my dream is to set up five lines of defense of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." Zhu Youlang said, took out the map, and marked the five lines of defense on the map according to Zhu Cituomeng's words.

"Two adults, take a look, is the tactics presented by the prince Tuomeng feasible?" Zhu Youlang marked the line of defense and moved his gaze to the two adults.

"It's amazing." Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun listened to the emperor's introduction to the "Five Elements" tactics, and couldn't believe that the "Five Elements" tactics were actually brought by the six-year-old Zhu Ci's dream.

"According to this arrangement, can it be completed within three days?" Zhu Youlang pointed to the map and asked sharply.

"It can be done." Qu Shiyun thought for a while and said.

"Okay, it'll be done in three days, or I'll see you in the head." Zhu Youlang was very dissatisfied with the performance of the two adults, and at the moment of the great enemy, he had no choice but to give the order to die.

When Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun walked out of the palace, the sky was already white, and after seeing the emperor's face just now, the two adults couldn't sit still.

As soon as the day was dawning, he called more than a dozen of his subordinates and immediately began to arrange the defense line in accordance with the "Five Elements" tactics.

The two ministers did not live up to the emperor's high hopes, fought day and night, and finally completed the "Five Elements" fortification on time, and 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 archers were all in place.

On the morning of the fourth day, accompanied by Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun, Zhu Youlang inspected the "five defenses" along the way.

"The big war is coming, everyone must cheer up."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Everywhere he went, Zhu Youlang carefully checked and was very satisfied with the physical defense and civil air defense.

"Your Majesty, will the Qing army really attack in the near future?" After inspecting the "earth defense" and standing on the city gate, Qu Shiyun couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Youlang.

It is not known whether the Qing army is coming, and there is no need for the emperor to make a fuss.

"The Qing army will come to attack Guilin tomorrow." Zhu Youlang glanced at Qu Shiyun and the others.

……

The next morning, shortly after the sun came out, the reconnaissance personnel in front hurried to report: "The Qing army has crossed the border of Guangxi and is speeding up its march towards Guilin. ”

Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun received the report and were taken aback, Zhu Youlang's words, no, it was Zhu Ci's dream that was too godly, saying that the enemy army was coming to attack the city, and it really came.

They are a little afraid when they think about it, if they discount the emperor's arrangement, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In order to prevent the Qing army from "making dumplings", the "Golden Defense Line" was set up in a narrow area where the army could not be deployed.

The thousands of cavalry who were ambushed in a forest saw that the Qing army had entered the ambush area, so they waved their broadswords and spears and rushed out of the woods.

There was a sudden attack, and one by one the Qing soldiers fell off their horses, and when the Qing army reacted, the cavalry had already retreated quickly.

"Chase." As soon as the leader of the Qing army gave the order, the Qing soldiers fiercely pursued.

The front turned around, and the Qing soldiers entered the second defense area, and the 3,000 archers who were ambushed here filled their bows and fired several arrows in a row.

In an instant, a situation of 10,000 arrows was formed, and the Qing soldiers looked around, but before they could figure out the situation, thousands of people had fallen from arrows.

A shrill voice sounded, and the three thousand archers quickly withdrew and ran as hard as they could.

A wide river was in front of us, with wooden bridges above and rushing water below.

Three thousand archers crossed the river quickly on a wooden bridge, and less than 100 meters behind them were thousands of pursuers.

At this time, the 1,000 cavalry evacuated by the "Golden Defense" were already waiting at the bridgehead with their bows and joining the archers evacuated from the "Wooden Defense" to implement the "water defense".

When all the archers crossed the river and more and more Qing soldiers rushed to the wooden bridge, the cavalry guarding the bridgehead swung their swords to cut the ropes at the bottom of the wooden bridge.

The wooden bridge collapsed in an instant, and thousands of Qing soldiers fell into the river.

The 3,000 archers who had just crossed the river turned around and shot at the Qing soldiers who fell into the river with a thousand cavalry.

Because the river was not very deep, the Qing cavalry who came later forcibly waded across the river.

"The cavalry stayed to block, and the archers quickly withdrew." Seeing this, Zhang Tongchang immediately ordered.

Hearing the order, the three thousand archers retreated to Guilin City at the speed of fleeing for their lives.

Thousands of elite cavalry, relying on the advantage of the riverbank, resisted the Qing troops to cross the river.

One by one, the Qing soldiers who were about to go ashore were cut down into the river by the cavalry on the shore.

After all, a thousand cavalry could not stop the attack of 20,000 Qing soldiers.

Seeing the rushing archers approaching the city gate, Zhang Tongchang commanded the cavalry to retreat decisively, quickly whip up the horses, and go straight to the city gate.

The cavalry passed through the makeshift annex gate and rushed directly into the gate a hundred meters away.

Seeing that the last cavalry rushed into the city, the soldiers defending the city immediately closed the city gates.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 1,000 cavalry pursued by the Qing army had rushed into the attached city gate.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the attached city gate immediately closed the attached city gate, lit the flammable materials of the attached city gate, and then withdrew to the city through the secret passage.

Hundreds of Qing soldiers who rushed into the attached city gate could not advance or retreat, and were burned alive and smoked to death by the raging fire......

The 10,000 Qing soldiers who came one after another, looking at the flames burning in the attached city, no one dared to rush into the sea of fire to save people.

At this time, the 4,000 archers and cavalry who implemented the "Five Elements" tactics all withdrew to the city wall, and together with the 5,000 soldiers guarding the city gate, they implemented "earth defense".

"Lord Zhang, Lord Qu, how is the effect of the implementation of the Five Elements Tactics?"

Looking at the fireworks outside the city gate, Zhu Youlang climbed the city wall and greeted Zhang Tongchang and Qu Shiyun, who led the troops.

"Back to the emperor, the effect is very good, five lines of defense, at least 5,000 enemies will be annihilated, this is the coolest battle since the Qing Dynasty." Zhang Tongchang reported to Zhu Youlang.

"Yes, I've been an emperor for four years, and it's the first time I've felt so good." Zhu Youlang raised his head and looked into the distance.

……

"Ding Ding" At this time, Zhu Ciyi, who was practicing light exercises in front of the hut in the deep mountains, suddenly heard the voice of the system elf in his ears.

"Congratulations to the host, your Five Elements Tactics have been selected as a typical case of the Magical War Book, and you have won 3 points, I hope the host will continue to work hard."

A five-element battle method will get 3 points, so I work hard, and there is not much hope for a full awakening of the magical war book? Zhu Ci was overjoyed.
