Chapter 222 Zhu Yuanzhang exposed his identity, just to win the handsome Lord Ye before the battle, Wang Baobao is not in charge of the army!

At the time when the sunshine spread over this thousand-year-old soldier's battleground, the Northern Yuan army outside the east and west gates of Yanmen Pass was completed.

Six miles away from the middle gate of Yanmen Pass, inside the tent of the commander of the center of the main army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty,

Two heralds from the east and west, kneeling down on one knee, also clenched their right fists on their left chests: "The army of the East Road has been assembled, please give the order to the king!" ”

"The army of the West Road has been assembled, please give the order of the king!"

In front of Wang Baobao, who was sitting on the top of the handsome seat, there was also a fairly sophisticated sand table table.

Although his spies did not get military information about Yanmen Pass, the architectural layout of Yanmen Pass and the general layout of the county seat were information that could not be hidden at all.

It can also be said that there is no need for spies at all, and you only need to ask Beiyuan Business Travel for a favor to get the information.

Therefore, the hardware layout on this sand table is quite accurate, but there are no relevant troop deployment signs, as well as landmarks of classified locations such as granaries, powder magazines, and arsenals.

Wang Baobao also tried his best to get this information, but all his efforts were in vain.

It was precisely because of Ye Qing's meticulous anti-espionage methods that he never dared to despise this young magistrate.

In order to deepen his understanding of Ye Qing and win over Ye Qing, he delayed for so many days, sending envoys and writing letters of persuasion.

But Ye Qing's unruly and unreasonable approach not only made him not deepen his understanding, but also made him even more unable to see through.

Wang Baobao looked at the sand table where the layout of the building was accurate, but there was no other sign except for the location of the county office, and he immediately knew that before the war started, he would lose the information first!

Thinking of this, he looked at the heralds from the eastern and western armies who were waiting for his order, as well as the generals who were waiting for him to give an order.

The phrase 'will lose an order, and the army will be broken and die' kept flashing in his mind.

If he could, he really wanted to think it over for a while before giving the order.

But he also knew that now he had reached the point where he couldn't fight without fighting, and he had to take Yanmen Pass before Xu Da's imperial army arrived!

Time waits for no one, he can't afford to delay!

Just for a moment, he suddenly felt a strong pressure!

Xu Da, who was rushing over, was putting pressure on him, these anticipating Beiyuan Erlang were putting pressure on him, Ye Qing, who couldn't be measured by common sense, was putting pressure on him, and he himself was putting pressure on him!

All these pressures hit together, and they instantly became extremely serious.

"I've fought for most of my life, and I've never felt so depressed."

"Even in the twenty-seventh year of Xu Da's Northern Expedition, when we withdrew from the Great Wall, I didn't have such a sense of depression."

"Today, I would be so cautious because of attacking the pass commanded by a little doll in my twenties, it's really"

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao immediately used the defeat of Xu Da last year to hint at himself.

Finally, there was a huge shift in his psyche!

"Passing on the military order of the marshal,"

"The East and West Second Route Army, 5,000 cavalry flat charge, 5,000 melee infantry flat charge, 5,000 heavy siege infantry, after advancing the siege baggage to the firing range, immediately fire!"

"The rest of the foot is heavy, stand by!"

As soon as the heralds from the eastern and western armies received the order, they immediately returned to the camp to give the order.

At the same time, his sand table operators also began to place corresponding models according to Wang Baobao's military orders and mark small flags.

At this moment, Wang Baobao said to Naier Buhua again: "The headquarters will send banner soldiers to occupy the high point and extend to the east and west armies. ”

"Let them stop running back and forth, and as soon as their vanguard baggage is fired, they will immediately return it with the flag."

"At that time, the commander will issue the next military order."

After Nai Er Buhua took the order to leave, Wang Baobao looked at the model of the North Yuan military camp area corresponding to the east and west gates.

In the middle of the large military camp area on the East Road, there is a paper flag with the book "Tatar, only catty".

As the name suggests, it means that the Eastern Route Army is mainly composed of the Tatar tribe and its vassals Chahar, Tumut, Korqin, Ordos, Asu and other tribes.

The leading generals of the Eastern Route Army are the descendants of Genghis Khan, the so-called other generals, that is, the leaders of the leaders sent by those tribes.

In his Wang Baobao's view, the former golden family is still good, not to mention enterprising, but also to know technological innovation.

They introduced the technology of the Western Regions, combined with the technology of the Central Plains, and created the 'Huihui Cannon' (a small trebuchet more advanced than the large trebuchet of the Song Dynasty) to attack Xiangyang!

Not only that, but in the third year of Yuan Zhishun (1332), they made the most advanced firearm at that time, the 'Zhankou Copper Gun'.

It can be said that the Zhankou copper gun is the predecessor of the Hongwu cannon equipped by the Ming Dynasty, and in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, this kind of fire gun that can be called a cannon, as well as a small fire gun has begun to equip the army.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the firearms were widely used in actual combat, and after the rebel armies saw its great lethality, they rushed to learn, including Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming army.

Later, when the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan, it got a large number of firearms from them, as well as a lot of craftsmen and technicians.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty also had its own firearms bureau!

Today, the Ming court began to vigorously develop firearms, but they returned to the era of tribal hegemony.

As for the Golden Family, it is no longer the Golden Family of the past!

It's not so much that the person who sits in Hala and Lin, whose surname is only a catty, is the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but that he is just a 'chief'!

Wang Baobao knew that the reason why he could unite the various ministries of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was only because Yanmen County was rich enough and the temptation was big enough.

Another is that he has a record of defeating Xu Da last year, which has the meaning of 'striking while the iron is hot'.

But in the final analysis, in addition to the 120,000 middle route army, which is his descendant army, the eastern and western route armies are composed of many tribes.

In other words, they all have their own selfish motives.

In fact, he Wang Baobao also has his own selfishness, and the reason why he divides his troops like this also has his own purpose.

If after he comes here, he thinks that the middle gate is so big, then his descendants will once again seize the first credit.

But if he thinks that there is an ambush at the middle gate, let the army of the East and West Second Routes go to the East and West Second Gate to throw stones and ask for directions.

Successfully entered the pass, that is, he Wang Baobao has a good way to fight, but if he suffers a big loss, his own strength will also be preserved!

As far as today's first battle is concerned, for him Wang Baobao, it is either a big profit or a harmless small loss!

Of course, they are all prairie children, and he still hopes to make a lot of money!

Thinking of this,

Wang Baobao looked at the opposite side of the sand table again, that is, the location of the county government office of Yanmen County in Yanmen Pass.

"Lord Ye, it's time for you to make a move!"

"My East and West Second Route Army, from your Yanmen Pass East and West Second Gate, but six miles away, a cup of tea can rush through, the infantry is a little slower, but it will not take half an hour."

"Will your artillery hit my cavalry or my infantry?"

"Even if you kill half of them, half of them will be piled up under your walls!"

"When that time comes, will you fight the enemy under the city, or will you fight the heavy siege army that I am advancing?"

"In my opinion, you will definitely rush first and then slow down, and attack the enemy who is attacking the city and climbing the wall first."

"When you finish beating them, my return cannon and my copper gun will be able to hit your city wall!"

"And my siege ladder truck, my log door truck, is not far from your city gate!"

“.”

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao's eyes as sharp as an eagle falcon immediately became cold, and he only needed to look at his eyes at the moment to immediately think of the words 'Ci Bu Command'!

Not bad

He never thought that he would be able to break through the East and West Gates with 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry who fought separately.

The real purpose of these 20,000 men was to attract firepower, to buy time for the siege troops to advance, and to provide a relatively safe environment for them to advance.

As long as he can make his siege baggage advance smoothly, as long as he can let the boulder fired by the return cannon smoothly smash on the wall of Yanmen Pass, the 20,000 soldiers and horses will not lose anything!

Because as soon as the siege baggage troops begin to bombard the city walls, he will give the order to launch a general attack on the east and west gates!

It must be after his siege baggage troops have fired,

Otherwise, the more people who go, the more people will die under the opponent's firearms!

In the case that the opponent's city defense and firearms are complete, rashly using crowd tactics is a last resort!

But if it really comes to the last resort, he will be forced to use this kind of strategy!

But it is clear that the initiative in the war is with him!

As long as Xu Da didn't come, the initiative of the war would always be with him, so there was no need for him to make a forced decision at the beginning!

"Whew!"

At this moment, the sound of a horn, which was dull enough to make the heart and liver tremble, came from both the east and the west.

This is the battle order of the Northern Yuan, which is equivalent to the war drums of the Central Plains Dynasty!

Without waiting for the herald to return, Wang Baobao knew that this was the East and West Second Route Army, and had already begun to carry out his military orders.

And the sand table operators here also began to place the model after hearing the sound of the horn that symbolized the battle.

Wang Baobao looked at the sand table model, and his thoughts came directly to the corresponding battlefield.

In front of the camp of the East Road Army,

In the North Yuan East Road, the army of the general is only a catty. Under the command of Battle, 5,000 cavalry formed a tiled formation based on the width of the East Gate wall, and began to advance towards the East Gate wall.

After the cavalry departed, the same distribution of 5,000 infantry followed.

In the end, the 5,000-heavy siege troops, with a thousand-man brigade as a unit, under the leadership of Qianhu, carried five batches of siege baggage to advance horizontally.

At the same time, the sound of their horns also reached the ears of the defenders of the East Gate of Yanmen Pass.

The great movement of the march of the 15,000 army was also watched by the observers at the east gate of Yanmen Pass.

On the third floor of the corridor at the east gate of Yanmen Pass,

Next to the sharp-eyed observer hand are Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like torches: "Ride the road with steps, and advance with baggage, this is the way we play at both ends of the first rat." ”

"Concentrating firepower on foot and riding has bought time for their baggage troops to advance, and it has also created a safe environment for advancement."

Mao Xiang nodded and said: "Although Wang Baobao doesn't know the existence of the new Hongwu cannon, he knows that their copper cannon has a range that is not as good as the Hongwu cannon of the imperial court, so he uses this way of fighting." ”

"The east and west are the same, sacrificing 20,000 people, just to let the siege baggage successfully advance, it's really willing!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "If you are willing to give up 20,000 people, but you can die more people less, he will not be in charge of the army and love the soldiers like a son, he will occupy them all." ”

"It's a pity that we can't let this strange man be obedient!"

Mao Xiao just leaned in and whispered, "After your Ye Da Wizard defeats him, you won't feel sorry for it." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned directly.

Not bad

Even if Ye Qing doesn't have military command skills, he can be said to be a 'wizard of governing the world', if he can still defeat Wang Baobao, then he must be a 'Ye Da Wizard'!

With such a civil and military wizard, he is still rare to be a king Baobao!

He must immediately revoke the title of 'Strange Man in the World', and then throw him Wang Baobao out of the clouds from his thoughts.

But as soon as he thought of his Ye Qing's amazing eloquence, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but grit his back molars.

At this moment, Mao Xiang frowned again and added: "However, this is not easy to fight!" ”

"Even if we know his intention, which is to use the lives of the 10,000-foot cavalry army to pave the way for the baggage troops, we can't help but fight the 10,000-foot cavalry army."

"If you only stare at the baggage troops, it won't be long before the 10,000 cavalry can rush to the bottom of the city wall."

"But if you concentrate your firepower on those 10,000 cavalry, the baggage troops will be within their range."

"You've got to think of the best of both worlds!"

As soon as the words fell, Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yuanzhang on the side, who was also the former Zhu Dashuai, with all his eyes in anticipation.

Zhu Yuanzhang just frowned slightly: "There is definitely no way to get the best of both worlds, but we also have a way to prevent their infantry army from rushing up, and not let their baggage troops advance smoothly." ”

"It's just that a lot of people are going to die on our side!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked in the direction of the county where the combat command room was located.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the military situation outside the East and West Gates should have reached Ye Qing through the flag.

He was waiting for Ye Qing's military order, but he didn't think that Ye Qing would have a better way than him!

After all, ginger is still old and spicy!

As long as Ye Qing's method is not enough to get the best of both worlds, he will go to the commander-in-chief of the defense of the East Gate, that is, to find General Chen, the commander of the Yangming Fort Guard, and be a real general strongly!

As long as General Chen is convinced, he will definitely be able to quickly convince the commander-in-chief of the Ximen defense through the flag.

In his Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, as long as his method is better than Ye Qing's, even if Ye Qing throws more money at them, they will listen to him Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, a good way can reduce the number of people who die.

Besides, he, Ye Qing, is not a general, nor is he a commander before the battle.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang is even ready to expose his identity!.

I ask for the support of the officials, and ask for the support of recommended tickets, monthly passes, and rewards, thank you!
