"When the thief leader killed the tiger Zhang Yuan and the golden-winged Penglu, he gathered 130,000 people, camped for 20 miles, plundered the counties, met in Baocheng and then entered Hanzhong, the plan was very big......"

"The Liukou came with a tide surrounded by ten thousand armies, but when they heard the sound of ten thousand guns, the sound was like thunder and smoke and dust, like a landslide......"

"The thieves were routed, rolled upside down, and the guerrilla Chen Wang led his personal guards to break into the enemy formation, and beheaded the thief and killed the tiger Zhang Yuan......"

In the Chinese military tent, Hong Chengchou sat behind the long table, looking at the official letter that had just been sent not long ago.

This official letter is from Hanzhong Mansion and tells the story of a great battle that took place outside Hanzhong on the first day of the first lunar month.

Hong Chengchou's gaze kept wandering on the official document in his hand, and the official letter from Hanzhong Mansion would be sent to Jingshi after sorting it out.

In fact, he already knew the news from Hanzhong three days ago.

Chen Wang's report was faster than the official document delivered by the post station.

defeated Li Zicheng first, and then beheaded Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan, and in less than a few months, he beheaded Zhang Yuan and relieved the siege of Hanzhong.

In fact, when the news of the boiling people in Hanzhong came before, Hong Chengchou did not pin his hopes on Chen Wang.

There were more than 100,000 rogues around Hanzhong City, and Chen Wang only had more than 4,000 soldiers under his command.

Hong Chengchou just wanted Chen Wang to stay in Hanzhong and keep Hanzhong City without losing.

What happened in Hanzhong this time was indeed beyond Hong Chengchou's expectations.

The crisis in Hanzhong Mansion City has now been lifted, King Rui's safety has been guaranteed, and his hanging heart has also been relaxed.

"Chen Wang......"

Hong Chengchou muttered in a low voice, then put down the official document in his hand and picked up another paperwork.

The other document was naturally a military report sent by Chen Wang three days ago.

The official document from Hanzhong Mansion added a lot of rhetoric, although it seems to be very heroic, but many details are ambiguous, and the processing is more and a little distorted.

However, the military report submitted by Chen Wang wrote most of the things in great detail.

If Hong Chengchou still had a little doubt about Chen Wang before, his last doubts disappeared when he received this military report.

After decades of ups and downs, he has become accustomed to being cautious in everything.

After the last beating, Chen Wang seemed to know what to do in the future, and he didn't have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Chen Wang is indeed a general, who knows how to advance and retreat, and will also change tactics and use weapons according to local conditions.

Although some of them are too young and inexperienced in many places, they are already extremely outstanding at this age.

Hong Chengchou's gaze stayed on the paperwork, the military newspaper written by Chen Wang was concise and clear, and it was clearly organized, which was different from other military newspapers delivered by the generals.

There are not as many mentions for military exploits as there are for other generals.

The general military newspaper sent by the general school simply indicates when the battle was engaged, how many enemy troops were encountered, how many were captured, and how many casualties were inflicted.

The military newspaper written by Chen Wang is clearly and clearly told from the beginning of the engagement, to the later melee, and the final raid and finishing.

And the biggest difference from other generals is that Chen Wang quoted a lot of data in the document, and also wrote the pros and cons of various weapons against the enemy, and even made a post-war summary.

However, the final ending is exactly the same as that of other generals and schools at this point - asking for money, food, and armament.

"Its leading troops drilled and marched, and fought in formation, all like the Zhejiang soldiers of the past, and they were full of their shapes and meanings......

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed slightly, remembering what Cao Wenzhao had said.

The military book written by Qi Jiguang, Hong Chengchou naturally read it.

Only from the "Actual Record of Military Training" and "The New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", you can know the level of his ability, not to mention his hard work.

The Zhejiang soldiers fought bravely, and there were few defeats in the southern and northern expeditions.

Although the Zhejiang soldiers were defeated in the first battle of Hunhe, it was also because they were outnumbered and overturned.

Hong Chengchou once read some handwritten letters written by Qi Jiguang, including the military newspaper that was submitted.

Qi Jiguang also wrote data in many places, how far the gun should be released, and how far it should be released.

Hong Chengchou's gaze slanted slightly, looking at the drawings pressed down on the paperweight on the desktop.

The drawings are drawn on the artillery mount, this drawing was sent to the army by Chen Wang not long ago, and a lot of changes have been made to the original gun mount, and there is also a gun mount that has been made with the letter.

Hong Chengchou let people test it, compared with the original gun carriage that carried artillery, the running frame improved by Chen Wang is indeed more convenient for transportation, more stable when shooting, and more convenient for aiming.

After seeing the advantages of the improved gun mount, Hong Chengchou directly ordered that all the specifications of the gun mount should be made according to the drawings sent by Chen Wang, and gradually replace the artillery mount of the whole army.

It's not a difficult task, it's just that it costs a little more silver, but it can increase the combat power of the army.

Compared with military spending, these are just a drop in the bucket, so why not.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were deep, and his right index finger unconsciously tapped the table.

He was thinking back to Cao Wenzhao's evaluation of Chen Wang, as well as Chen Wang's behavior and measures all along.

The more he thought about it, the more Hong Chengchou felt that Chen Wang and Qi Jiguang were more and more similar.

The battle that prompted Qi Jiguang to become famous was the Battle of Taizhou, which took place in the 40th year of Jiajing.

In the 40th year of Jiajing, the Japanese invaded Taozhu, Qitou and other places, Qi Jiguang led the headquarters battalion to hold Taozhu, broke the Japanese in Longshan, and pursued all the way to Yanmen Ridge.

After the Japanese escaped, they took advantage of the weakness to attack Taizhou, and Qi Jiguang took the lead and stabbed the leader of the Japanese in the army.

The remnants of the party were cornered, and all of them fell into the Gualing River and drowned, and then won the next nine battles, annihilating the enemy in Taizhou.

And Chen Wang also fought all the way to victory, organized the army, implemented firearms, reformed tactics, and even broke into the army outside Hanzhong City, and beheaded Zhang Yuan.

When Qi Jiguang was in the army, he invented and improved a lot of things.

From the formation of the army and the tactics of the army formation, the battalion sentry system and the mandarin duck formation, as well as the tactics of the car battalion that were improved according to local conditions in the north, they were all from the hands of Qi Jiguang.

It goes down to military training and training, the method of selecting troops, and the improvement of military equipment and weapons.

The wolf first and the tiger squat cannon are all from the hands of Qi Jiguang.

The original bird soldier was the separation of ammunition, and there was no quantitative charge when charging, and it was easy to explode the chamber with more ammunition, and the power of lead bullets would become smaller if there was less medicine.

Qi Jiguang then asked the medicine to be pre-loaded into each small bamboo barrel, and each person was given a pound of gunpowder, which was packed with fifty-three small bamboo tubes, and each tube was three coins of gunpowder, and the number of lead bullets was the same as the number of bamboo tubes.

Now Chen Wang, like Qi Jiguang at the beginning, has done a lot of similar things.

Improve the artillery carriage, and equip the three-eyed gun on a large scale according to local conditions, against the rogues who have scarce armor.

Hong Chengchou's eyes narrowed slightly, and the tactics that Chen Wang is now implementing in the army can be said to be the best of a hundred schools.

The battalion of the headquarters is equipped with heavy armor and heavy bows, shields, and heavy artillery as the offensive force, and uses the tactics of Jiannu.

Although Hong Chengchou had never met Jiannu, he had read military newspapers and heard other people talk about Jiannu's tactics.

However, according to the current situation, Chen Wang did not completely copy the tactics of Jiannu.

Most of the auxiliary soldiers in the Jiannu army were used as cannon fodder for dead soldiers, and they were also equipped with shield vehicles, but Chen Wang did not use the auxiliary soldiers as cannon fodder for dead soldiers.

In Chen Wang's army, the accompanying auxiliaries were equipped with a large number of firearms, basically mainly three-eyed guns, only a few bird guns, and a large number of Francophone machines and tiger squat guns were also equipped in the army as a firepower supplement.

Emphasis is placed on the firepower of firearms, with three-eyed guns at close range, Franc machines and tiger squat cannons at medium and close ranges, and fire cannons at long distances.

If the enemy is defending, first attack the enemy's morale and defense with long-range artillery bombardment, and then use shield vehicles as a cover to send heavy infantry all the way to the front.

After receiving the enemy, open the situation with heavy bows and arrows, the heavy infantry entered the formation, and the light soldiers in the rear swarmed up and broke the formation in one fell swoop.

If the enemy is attacking, let the enemy rush to the front first, and use the burst fire of the three-eyed gun and the covering fire of the Franc machine gun and the tiger squat cannon to instantly crush the enemy army in the charging formation.

Then, taking advantage of the confusion in the front of the enemy army, he bombarded the enemy's rear formation with cannons, and then used the elite cavalry to drive away the routs and attack the enemy's elite cavalry.

Along the way, there has been no disadvantage and won one after another.

I have to say that the tactics adopted by Chen Wang today are extremely reasonable.

Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, his eyes moved, and he suddenly felt something, maybe this method of warfare can be promoted in the army.

However, there are still many details and things that need to be worked out, and they cannot be decided overnight......

Thousands of thoughts swirled in Hong Chengchou's mind.

Qi Jiguang ...... Chen Wang......"

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes.

During the Jiajing period, there were strong prisoners in the north and harassment by Japanese in the south.

The country is in turmoil, the world is dark, the people are panicked, and it is difficult to settle down.

The world is in turmoil, and the country is in danger.

The appearance of Qi Jiguang and a number of good generals finally solved the crisis at that time.

The current situation of the dynasty is a hundred times more embarrassing than that of the Jiajing period.

The night was dark and windy, and the wind outside the tent swept by, sending out bursts of low roars.

Hong Chengchou's thoughts were also carried back to Xi'an Mansion not long ago by the north wind outside the tent.

Chen Wang's figure appeared in front of him again, and all the generals in the big tent had a heavy twilight aura, and the vitality of Chen Wang's body in the dimension conflicted with the twilight aura on the rest of the people, which seemed incompatible.

Although he was humble and bowed his head and knelt down, he still felt like he was standing.

Hong Chengchou opened his eyes, and there was a glimmer of light in his originally slightly dim eyes.

Since becoming the governor of the three sides and being ordered to quell the rebellion, he has met countless generals, but none of them are like Chen Wang.

Although Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong are brave and good at fighting, they are just ordinary brave generals.

Although Ai Wannian and Tang Jiuzhou knew the strategy, they were only slightly talented.

Although Cao Wenzhao has both civil and military skills, and has the talent of a general, he can be described as a good general, but after all, he is difficult to support alone, and his strength is not enough.

The wind outside the tent became more and more urgent, Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed, and he remembered that Cao Wenzhao reported to him the night conversation with Chen Wang, and there was a sentence in it that he remembered very clearly.

"Train a good army, rush to Liaodong in the future, expel Jiannu, recover the homeland, avenge the country and family, and sweep away the shame ......of Guangning"

Zi Bu is strange and confused, in fact, Hong Chengchou has always believed in Shinto, but he doesn't know why he has a feeling.

Perhaps, this Chen Wang, like Qi Jiguang, is here to calm the turmoil in the country.

Perhaps, he should take advantage of Chen Wang, and if he can use it well, it will also be a great help.

Now that the Son of Heaven is more and more concerned about the military, the price of the fall of Zhongdu Fengyang is the head of a large number of people, and countless people are removed from office.

The successive defeats of the offensive and the defeat of the Liaodong battlefield made him more and more angry.

Hong Chengchou's expression kept changing, he was considering the gains and losses, calculating the pros and cons.

Although Cao Wenzhao's attitude towards him is extremely respectful now, he doesn't want the power under Cao Wenzhao's command to be too great.

If the power is too large, it means that there is a risk that it will be difficult to fall.

After all, Chen Wang is Cao Wenzhao's personal soldier, so he can either find a way to make Cao Wenzhao and Chen Wang have a gap, or let the two of them be separated......

Hong Chengchou slowly stood up and turned to look at the huge picture hanging in the tent.

The red and black colors on the map show the situation in Shaanxi Province today.

Many areas in the central and eastern parts of Hanzhong Province were stained with black, but now it seems that the black areas in the central part of Hanzhong Province can be erased first.

In the battle of Hanzhong, Chen Wangbao reported only more than 20 casualties, while 1,230 rogues were killed and more than 40,000 were captured, most of whom were old and weak.

Chen Wangzhen killed the tiger Zhang Yuan, and more than 30 people were captured and killed in the general manager, management team, and military academy under Zhang Yuan, which accounted for almost half of his army.

Although there were still many people who escaped, such casualties and Zhang Yuan's death, Zhang Yuan's subordinates had already broken their backbones, and it was impossible for them to regain their strength.

Zhang Yuan's department has actually collapsed, and the Golden Winged Peng Lu fled, and the main force did not lose much, and the remnants of Zhang Yuan's command were most likely absorbed by him.

But this problem is not big, with Lu Shi's current prestige, it is difficult to suppress the remnants of Zhang Yuan's command, and it is not easy for him to integrate so many remnants.

According to the intelligence he received before, Lu Shi did not have the ability to control such a large number of troops.

Moreover, in the first battle of Hanzhong, the grain and grass that was captured by Zhang Yuan and Lu Shi were intercepted by Chen Wang.

Now, even if Lu Shi accepts Zhang Yuan's subordinates and gathers the rest of the remnants, they will immediately encounter the problem of food shortage.

But Baocheng, Chenggu, and the towns around Hanzhong City have already been looted by them, so where can they find food?

Hong Chengchou's gaze stayed in Hanzhong, then moved to Xi'an, and then to Henan in the east.

Most of Yan'an Mansion is still dyed black, and the northeast and southeast areas of Xi'an Mansion are also dyed black.

Many places in Henan are blooming, and Lu Xiangsheng is fighting in the east and west to clean up the rebellion.

The rebellion was too strong to be extinguished for a while, and it was impossible to resolve the rebellion within the time limit.

"Hanzhong Mansion ......"

Hong Chengchou frowned slightly, remembering the official letter that Lu Xiangsheng passed to him before.

Lu Xiangsheng's plan seems to be to drive Gao Yingxiang and others all the way to Hanzhong Mansion.

Maybe it's a good choice to let Chen Wang stay in Hanzhong like this.

As long as Cao Wenzhao and Chen Wang are not together, there is no superfluous connection between the two, and there is no need to worry about losing control......
