Chapter 1677 Defeated by Emperor Yuanwu alone
Chai Tuo was panicked, and so were the garrison generals stationed here.
Everyone knows that the more than 30,000 soldiers in Changjiang City are just decorations. When facing a war, they will never be able to resist the Daning army.
Everything was fine at first, but now things have changed!
The arrival of Emperor Yuanwu in person is definitely bad news for them!
This is a different kind of emperor.
Most emperors sit in charge of the country and never leave the country. Even the imperial commanders who conduct military campaigns mostly sit in the rear and will never appear on the battlefield.
If something unexpected happens, the entire country will probably be in turmoil.
But Emperor Yuanwu was not like that. He just rushed to the battlefield and rushed to the forefront whenever there was a battle. Even the generals around him could not keep up.
Liang Jun soldiers have seen more than once that in the battle to conquer the city, the prince at that time was defeated with one blow. In that battle, Emperor Yuanwu went crazy!
It is not accurate to say that the Liang Kingdom was defeated by Daning. In fact, it was defeated by Emperor Yuanwu alone.
This emperor loves war and killing. If he comes here with a bad intention and orders an attack at will, they will not know how to respond.
This person came as a reward, so he must not be empty-handed. He must have brought enough military supplies, food and grass, military pay and silver, and the Daning army will be stationed for a long time...
Thinking about it like this makes me really scared.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and tricks pale in comparison.
The Daning army was like a huge mountain weighing them down...
Changjiang City, the military mansion where Liang Jun was stationed.
The atmosphere in the military hall was solemn. After receiving the information, Emperor Daning would arrive at Suiyuan City in three days at most!
In terms of intelligence, Chai Tuo did a good job. He personally took charge of the prosecutor's office and almost completely rebuilt it.
The reason for being so cautious is because the former chief of the Procuratorate, Hu Biao, defected to Daning!
This caused huge losses to the Liang State. The Procuratorate was a secret espionage and military intelligence agency. With Hu Biao's defection, many military intelligence personnel also belonged to Daning.
The details here are not trivial. If you really want to go into detail, it would be enough to make a TV series.
Now that it has been rebuilt, all kinds of information are compiled daily, allowing them to know everything at once.
Of course, this is not a secret.
Emperor Daning's appearance was grand and undisguised, and everyone knew it, let alone them?
"Recall all the troops sent abroad. If there is a war, we can be prepared."
Chai Tuo's voice was low, obviously he had prepared for the worst.
Under Chai Tuo, a burly general with a curly beard and beard asked: "Aren't we... not going to resist?"
He is the right deputy general of the army stationed here, named Meng Shao, and is famous for his bravery.
After Zhu Zhen ascended the throne, he reactivated aristocratic families. He needed the support of these people to stabilize the government.
In other words, he wants to tie these people to the country so that while they contribute to the country, they can also live and die with the country.
Meng Shao came from the Meng family, a military family.
He was eager to make meritorious deeds when suddenly being re-employed, and he always wanted to have a head-on fight with the enemy.
"Don't strike with an egg against a rock!"
On the other side of Chai Tuo, a relatively thin general with a black and yellow face, thick eyebrows, and white hair on his temples, who was nearly sixty years old, immediately spoke with a slightly serious tone.
"Strike an egg against a stone?"
Meng Shao was immediately dissatisfied and said: "General Li, in your eyes, am I a brave soldier like an egg?"
"Maybe you were frightened by the Daning army and were frightened to death, but you are not so cowardly!"
This is said very rudely.
The 30,000 Liang troops stationed in Changjiang were reorganized and were given the title of Tianxing Army by Emperor Zhu Zhen of Tianshun!
Chai Tuo, the general in the palm of the Tianxing Army.
Under him were the left and right deputy generals. Among them, the left deputy general Li Chengliang was the deputy general of the elite border army of the Liang Army. He was also one of the few generals who was not liquidated and was reused.
Li Chengliang is a veteran and a stable person.
When the war started, he repeatedly advised Zhu Zhen not to advance rashly, which made Zhu Zhen dissatisfied. After he came to the throne, he demoted him, but now he is re-employed.
As the elite of the Liang Army, the Zhenbian Army participated in many battles, and even many battles were commanded by Li Chengliang.
He is indeed the person who knows Daning's army best.
Facing Meng Shao's sarcasm, Li Chengliang remained calm and said calmly: "It's not that I'm weak and afraid of war, but that you don't know how powerful the Daning army is, and you don't know the difference between the two armies at all!"
"There was a firearms camp in Daning. The heavy artillery bombardment cracked the stone city and the sound shook for dozens of miles. At the beginning of the war, our army was severely damaged. After the artillery bombardment, the people fell on their backs and lost all will to fight. At this time, the Zhenbei Army began to charge.
Harvesting, such a tactic, is really incomprehensible!"
"If you don't believe it, go to the army and ask any soldier."
Meng Shao's complexion changed slightly.
And Li Chengliang continued: "Pull out your sword!"
Meng Shao didn't know the reason, but he still pulled it out.
Generals all have swords, which are not used as main battle weapons but as status symbols.
Immediately, Li Chengliang also drew his sword.
"Fight my sword!"
"Um?"
Meng Shao frowned slightly, thinking that this old man wouldn't compete with him just because he made a few sarcastic remarks, would he?
"General Li, if we really compete, you are no match for me, not to mention the situation is not right."
"It's just a duel, not a competition!"
After Li Chengliang finished speaking, in the midst of everyone's surprised eyes, he turned his sword into a knife and struck Meng Shao directly!
Meng Shao subconsciously raised his sword to block.
Two swords collide!
"clang!"
A sharp sound of gold and iron sounded immediately!
Then, everyone's eyes widened.
It was not because of Li Chengliang's surprise attack, but because the sword used by Meng Shao broke at the sound, directly splitting into two!
Meng Shao looked surprised and asked subconsciously: "Why is your sword so sharp?"
"This is what I found on the battlefield. It is a weapon used by the enemy."
Li Chengliang said in a low voice: "This is only used by ordinary enemy soldiers, but it can easily break the sword of your right lieutenant!"
"Do you know now where the gap is?"
