Zhu Gaoxian's violent interrogation was very effective, and the prisoners of the Chen army said that all the information was spit out, which was crucial information, according to which the Ming army could judge the general of the Chen army, Nguyen Ngoc Hung, and the general of the army.

And after the intelligence was explained, the Chen army prisoner was of little value, and Zhu Gaoxian, as a kind person, gave the Chen army prisoner a happy death.

The intelligence came to the command level, and Jiang Yi, the commander of the Ming army who crusaded against Nguyen Ngoc Hung, had nothing to hesitate about, and directly dispatched troops to march and launched an attack on Nguyen Ngoc Hung's main force. The 30,000 Ming army advanced to the hinterland of Chen's army, and immediately began to launch a general offensive after finding out the enemy's situation.

……

In the camp of the pioneer battalion, someone said dissatisfiedly: "My lord, we searched for information, and when it came to this attack, why didn't we serve as the main force in the end, but let the first battalion of soldiers serve as the main force?" ”

Zhu Gaoxian glanced at the general and said calmly: "Because the left deputy general of the first battalion of soldiers is surnamed Jiang." ”

Liu Pu didn't speak, and he also acquiesced to this answer.

The establishment of the Southern Expeditionary Army was based on the establishment of five of the three major battalions, and was divided into 10 battalions, with the commander of the first battalion of the soldiers being the left adjutant general, the second battalion of the combat corps and the third battalion of the chariot corps being the staff generals, and the fourth battalion of the chariot corps and the fifth battalion of the city guard being guerrilla generals.

The commander of the 6th Battalion of the Soldiers is the right adjutant general, the 7th Battalion of the Soldiers and the 8th Battalion of the Cavalry Battalion are the generals, and the 9th Battalion of the Cavalry Battalion and the 10th Battalion of the City Guard are guerrilla generals.

The supreme commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army was the general of the expedition, the chief military officer, and the British Gong Zhang Fu, followed by Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, and then the deputy chief soldier Jiang Yi, the Marquis of An Yuan, Liu Sheng, and the lieutenant officer Ma Qi of the town guard.

In addition to the regular 10th battalion, the Southern Expeditionary Army also had some non-conventional formations. For example, in the pioneer battalion where Zhu Gaoxian is located, the commander of the troops is Liu Pu, the pioneer officer. Another example is the cavalry battalion, and the commander is concurrently served by Jiang Yi, the deputy commander-in-chief. and the five military battalions transferred from the Beijing Division, which are now also under the command of the Shuai Ying, and the commander of the army is Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan......

In this crusade against Nguyen Ngoc Hung, a total of four battalions were transferred, the first battalion of soldiers, the second battalion of soldiers, the third battalion of vehicle soldiers, and the pioneer battalion.

Except for the vanguard battalion, which has a total strength of less than 4,000 troops, the remaining three battalions, each with a total strength of about 10,000.

Therefore, the real strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army is very false, and the total strength of the regular ten battalions plus the remaining five military battalions, cavalry battalions, and pioneer battalions is less than 200,000. However, the slogan shouted by Zhu Di before the conquest was "800,000", while the real strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army was "300,000", in fact, except for the people, the real total number of troops that could be fought was less than "200,000".

However, this is all a routine operation, and it is tacit to blow it before sending troops. 200,000 blows into 800,000, which is already very low-key. In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao claimed to have an army of 800,000, but in fact, there were more than 100,000 at most. In the Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei claimed to have an army of 700,000, but in fact, there were 70,000 or 80,000 people.

The Indian family next door also blew out the story of more than 100 million casualties in 18 days.

To get back to the point, although the strength of the pioneer battalion is slightly inferior to that of the other three battalions, the vanguard battalion should be the main force in terms of elite and good fighting, as well as the intelligence of Nguyen Ngoc Hung's troops in the early stage of the war.

But in the end, the commander crusaded against Nguyen Ngoc Hung's deputy commander-in-chief, Jiang Yi, and finally let the first battalion of soldiers serve as the main force, and the vanguard battalion attacked Nguyen Ngoc Hung's left flank troops.

There is a big difference between this, and the more credit you get in the end for serving as the main force.

And the pioneer battalion did so much homework in the early stage, but in the end it was the first battalion of soldiers who really faced Ruan Yuxiong.

This is not fair, but Liu Pu and Zhu Gaoxian are not surprised, because the left deputy general of the first battalion of soldiers is named Jiang Li, and he is the nephew of Jiang Yi, the deputy commander-in-chief.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the crusade against Ruan Yuxiong, Jiang Yi, of course, gave the greatest credit to his own nephew in the end, not the pioneer battalion.

Liu Pu didn't have any opinions, after all, the commander this time was Jiang Yi, not his father Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng.

If it is Liu Sheng's commander's crusade, the last one to serve as the main force must be the pioneer battalion.

It's not like an army fighting on the battlefield, but a group of businessmen who are going to make a splash.

It's hard for Zhang Fu, with such a group of people fighting in Jiaozhi, he can still win battles.

"Do your part."

Liu Pu said lightly to the senior commanders and generals in the camp, "Although we are not the main force in this crusade, our enemy should not be underestimated, it is Ruan Yuxiong's left wing troops. ”

Then, he glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, but found that this Qi prince was sitting on a chair lazily looking through the cowhide map, and punctuated the map with cinnabar.

Liu Pu was quite satisfied in his heart, compared to the scourges of the military generals and nobles, this prince seemed to be exceptionally approachable, that is, intelligent, wise and quiet.

It wasn't until he saw clearly what the other party was outlining with cinnabar on the map that Liu Pu's face became serious.

"My lord, it's okay to mark the scribbles, right?" Zhu Gaoxian noticed Liu Pu's gaze and touched his hair a little embarrassed.

He didn't realize it now, except for Ma Qi, the lieutenant guard of the town, his identity had been discovered by Zhang Fu, Liu Sheng, and Liu Pu.

Zhu Gaoxian just felt that Liu Sheng and Liu Pu were a little abnormal, but he didn't think in that direction.

"Can you give this official a look?" Liu Pu asked seriously.

"Absolutely." Zhu Gaoxian handed the map in his hand to the other party.

Liu Pu took the map and looked at the cinnabar marks on the map, his brain was running wildly, and there was only shock and surprise in his heart.

"This, this is what you painted?" Liu Pu looked at Zhu Gaoxian in disbelief.

A general manager in the camp asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's wrong, there is a problem with this picture?" ”

"It's too much of a problem!" Liu Pu exclaimed, "This picture is amazing, we only roughly found out the deployment of Ruan Yuxiong's troops, and this map accurately guessed the strategic defense line of Ruan Yuxiong's troops, combined with the information we have detected, this map can be called a stroke of genius!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian touched his nose and said with a light smile: "It's not so godly, it's not real, it's just a casual drawing." ”

This picture was indeed drawn by him.

Combined with the scout reconnaissance information of the pioneer battalion in the Chen army's forces, Bai Qi and others in Zhu Gaoxian's brain had already deduced the detailed strategic deployment of the Chen army, and they almost guessed what color Ruan Yuxiong's pants were.

For ordinary people, this kind of thing is indeed divine, but for the top generals, it is not difficult.

It is impossible for a scout to understand all the enemy situations, and an excellent general needs to analyze and guess the accurate deployment of the enemy according to the enemy situation surveyed by the scouts.

Back then, Huo Qubing drove straight into the desert, which was simply a human radar, relying on this hand.

The devil knows where the enemy is hiding in the desert and how to fight it, it's all instinct.

A real general, from the moment he stepped on the battlefield, he knew that he had won.
