Chapter 60 Zhang Shicheng, You Mountain Cannon
Faced with this predicament, faced with the predicament that all the leaders were being blamed in Jinan, the Red Turban Army, which had completely lost its backbone and was like a headless fly, was forced to shift its attention to another place.
This place is the only remaining city in Shandong that has not been plundered by the Yuan army.
The name of this city is: Yidu (now Qingzhou City, Shandong Province).
At this time, the commander of the garrison guarding Yidu was Er Mao, the son of former Shandong supreme commander Mao Gui.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a plucked phoenix is not as big as a chicken.
Although my old man has lost his temper, his prestige as the former supreme commander of the Shandong region is still there, and the prestige he has built over the past few years is still there.
Therefore, after Mao Gui became an immortal, the forces that had been loyal to Mao Gui jointly elected Er Mao as the supreme commander of the local area.
Er Mao was promoted to the boss, and the originally scattered Red Scarf Army seemed to have a flag, a red flag of its own, so the Red Scarf Army, which had been scattered and had no way to escape, began to gather towards Yidu.
Faced with this strategic phenomenon, if the Red Scarf Army forces that were finally dispersed gathered in Yidu, they would inevitably form a new armed force. As an absolutely hostile force, Chahan Timur would never allow it.
There was still the strength of the Red Scarf Army in Shandong, which he had finally won, so after cleaning up the remaining troops in Jinan, he quickly organized troops and horses to besiege Yidu.
In front of the enemy, in the face of absolute hostile forces, strategic dialogue is useless, military surrender is useless, and threats and intimidation are also useless.
At this time, there was no way to go and no way to escape. The Red Turban Army, which was besieged on all sides and faced with the murderous anti-Red Rebel Army, had only one choice, and that was to resist desperately.
While resisting, they were also forced to seek military support from Liu Futong, the direct leader of their central government.
At this time, you might still be able to survive if you resist desperately, but once the city is defeated, there will be only one way left.
A road of no return that they really don't want to embark on.
The positions of both parties have been made very clear. It is impossible to reach an agreement through negotiation, so there is only one solution left.
Go ahead.
There is nothing more to say.
On the other hand, facing the stubborn forces in Yidu City who were stubbornly resisting, Chahan Timur, as the coach, should be happy or even excited.
It can be said that it has been a green light since he led his troops into Shandong, and he has basically never encountered any particularly difficult difficulties.
And the Yidu in front of him made him even less interested.
Because the entire Shandong region is already under its control, there is no backup force to supplement it. Yidu is just a small isolated city and cannot form a big climate at all.
Chahan Timur, who already knew this, basically had no worries.
In this case, he first ordered the generals to set up camp at the ten strongholds he set around Yidu City, and then ordered the entire army to cook and cook to replenish the physical strength that was excessively consumed by the long-distance attack.
Facing the Red Turban Army who was fighting a desperate battle, Chahan Timur knew that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to surrender to him, and the only thing he could do was to conquer them by force.
After defeating them by force, they will massacre all the people and animals of Yidu!
Let the entire Yidu be riddled with chickens and dogs, and let the thugs like them who are stubbornly resisting know that if they dare to compete with the uncle, then you will die without even a scum left.
So after everyone had eaten and slept well and recovered their physical strength, he issued the order to attack.
Chahan Timur's specific strategic deployment was as follows. He first divided the army into ten equal parts, and after the people in the ten equal parts had eaten and drank enough, he divided them into ten equal parts.
This creates a total force of one hundred strands.
Then let these hundred forces attack Yidu simultaneously from different locations and directions.
There are several advantages to doing this:
First of all, although Chahan Timur's military forces are dispersed, they are relatively close to each other. Even if an emergency occurs, the forces nearby can quickly provide support.
Secondly, the second point is that the biggest benefit of the dispersed attack of hundreds of forces is that it makes the opponent unable to defend, because facing this battle formation that does not distinguish between primary and secondary offensive echelons, the opponent's already frustrated confrontational mentality is bound to be hit again.
The last point is that when the force is spread out and all the people and horses are spread out, it is equivalent to opening a net, a big net that covers almost all areas without leaving any dead ends. After this big net is spread out, whether it is dead fish, rotten shrimps or turtles
No one can escape from under it. There is only one purpose in doing so, which is to completely destroy the opponent's psychological defense.
This kind of strategic deployment has a quite appropriate name in the art of war, called encirclement.
While dividing his troops to encircle Yidu, Chahan Timur also asked some soldiers to dig ditches and divert the Yanghe River not far away to flood the city. In order to block the opponent's escape route, Chahan Timur also asked the soldiers in the canals to
Set up a fence on one side to prevent accidents.
After all preparations were almost complete, the Yuan army launched several charges against the isolated city of Yidu.
Faced with Chahan Timur's policy of not playing or playing, the Yidu defenders who resisted leniency and frankness had no choice but to resist desperately.
Between attacks and attacks, the military confrontation between the two sides lasted for several months.
While the fight in Shandong was fierce, a pair of unwilling eyes on the other side saw the chaos in Shandong, and seemed to have discovered an excellent profit-making opportunity. After careful study, he determined a set of feasibility after being silent for a long time.
plan.
Under the premise that the benefits definitely outweighed the risks, he decided to take advantage of the situation and make a big deal.
If this deal goes through, not only can he get rid of the opponent in front of him that he regards as a thorn in his side that he cannot defeat and drive away, but he can also advantageously attack the opponent who is being held back and retreating like a wild beast.
The arrogance of a bald donkey is as thin as that of a horse, and the more important thing is that he was able to obtain high-ranking officials, generous salaries, gold, silver and jewels given to him by the Yuan Dynasty.
This person is another great enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang: Zhang Shicheng.
Since Zhang Shicheng is mentioned here, I will continue to use my personal evaluation of him: Mountain Pao.
As a qualified mountain gunner, Zhang Shicheng is also perfectly fulfilling the personality qualities that a mountain gunner should have.
First of all, we need to indicate the current identity of this mountain gunner. He is now a regular army member of the Yuan Dynasty, because he surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty in the seventh year of Zhengzhi (1357 AD).
The target of his attack was the Emperor of the Dragon and Phoenix Regime who had just fled to Anfeng City (today's Shouxian County, Anhui Province) not far from him: Han Lin'er, who was also the immediate boss of the current Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, Zhu Yuanzhang.
The reason why Zhang Shicheng decided to deal with Han Lin'er was because all the Red Scarf troops in Shandong, Henan and other places who could have supported Han Lin'er were killed by Chahan Timur, and only one force was not killed.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were left. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting fiercely, and they should not be able to spare any troops to fight against them.
On the other hand, the reason is that he was sent by the Yuan Dynasty emperor to use force to suppress the Longfeng regime founded by the leader of the Red Scarf Army Han Lin'er. The purpose was obvious, that is, the Yuan Dynasty emperor intended to use Zhang Shicheng's hand to completely eliminate Han Lin'er's stubbornness.
power.
Because as long as Han Lin'er, the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor, is killed, the armed force of the Red Scarf Army and the Dragon and Phoenix regime will completely collapse.
If the Longfeng regime collapses, the originally powerful Red Scarf Army will cease to exist.
As a businessman, Zhang Shicheng, who adheres to the basic principle of profit-oriented everything, should have engaged in economic blackmail from the Yuan Dynasty when dealing with Han Lin'er's issue. After all, Han Lin'er's political threat to the Yuan Dynasty was too great, so he would not take this opportunity to make a fortune.
If you cheat, then you are really sorry for Zhang Shicheng's status as a businessman.
Faced with Zhang Shicheng's obvious extortion, the leader of the Yuan Dynasty should also have a smoking nose, a burning head, eyes blazing, and a mouth full of curses.
Did the millions of taels I spent on wooing you a few days ago go to dogs?
Damn it, you are an underfed wolf cub, let me spare you now. After you solve Han Lin'er's problem, I will let you spit it out to me with interest.
Even if they were angry, all they could do was to strategically appease Zhang Shicheng and give him enough bad promises. After the Yuan Dynasty emperor accepted Zhang Shicheng's request.
After assessing various forces, he felt that the benefits were absolutely huge and decided to take action, so he suddenly sent troops without warning and besieged Anfeng.
After Anfeng was besieged, the first person to be afraid of was Han Lin'er, and the second was Liu Futong, the commander-in-chief of the Military Commission of the Longfeng regime who fled to Anfeng with Han Lin'er.
Faced with the fact that Bianliang was conquered, Shandong was besieged, and Anfeng was captured again after finally escaping, they were now in a dilemma with no troops to defend and no generals to use. As commander-in-chief of the Military Commission, Liu Futong and Han Lin'er also completely stopped.
Ready.
I originally fled to Anfeng to avoid the limelight, but I didn't expect that Zhang Shicheng would intervene in such a critical moment.
When did this mountain artillery stop selling illicit salt and start focusing on the art of war?
Zhang Shicheng, I’m going to beat your guts!
Don't you think it's too immoral to take advantage of me?
What is the difference between this and letting someone break up?
Zhang Shicheng, you are a scumbag and a cannon!
Getting angry in the face of reality won't solve the problem, and swearing won't solve the crisis. You still have to find ways to resolve the immediate troubles.
To resolve this problem, the most important thing is to rely on people, soldiers and horses.
Where do you find these soldiers and horses?
Han Lin'er and Liu Futong, who are the absolute leaders of the Red Scarf Army, face this critical situation. Their frightened soldiers and horses are no better than trash. They were originally guarding Henan and Henan.
Shandong's soldiers and horses are unable to protect themselves, let alone rely on them. The roads on both sides have been blocked. Who else can help them?
After searching around, they finally landed on a place.
There is a group of very powerful armed forces in this place, and there are also several perverted characters with half the strength of a Super Saiyan. It seems that they are the only ones who can help him in this situation.
What's more important is that this power is not very far from Anfeng where he is now.
As long as they are willing to send troops, it only takes a few days to resolve the immediate crisis.
The name of this force is: Zhu Jiajun.
Their boss's name is: Zhu Yuanzhang.
When I discovered this place, my originally frightened face instantly blossomed into a flower-like smile.
I didn’t say anything, who made me fall in love with you? I’m giving you face by falling in love with you at this time, not to mention that you are still using the banner of my Dragon and Phoenix regime, and as the prime minister of my Dragon and Phoenix Empire, you have the responsibility to be more
It is your duty to save me from fire and water. It is most appropriate to entrust you with this great task of saving the world.
Myna, take the call.
In order to resolve the crisis in front of them as quickly as possible and avoid being dumped by the opponent under the overwhelming offensive, Han Lin'er, the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor, and Liu Futong, the military commander-in-chief, jointly drafted a document requesting Zhu Yuanzhang to send troops to relieve An'an.
