Chapter 976: Decisive Battle with Huanglong Fifteen
In the military confrontation between two countries, the so-called trump card.
Not much.
War is a continuation of politics.
The means are the same.
incite defection.
In instigating rebellion.
The level cannot be too low.
For civil servants, they are at least a magistrate. For military officers, they are at least a thousand households.
But this was impossible in the Han Dynasty. Wu Nian treated the prefects and generals with kindness and righteousness, and never had any doubts.
As the saying goes, "Don't trust people when you hire them, don't use people when you doubt them." Even for a rebellious guy like Zhao Yanting, Wu Nian saw through his nature and didn't doubt him.
Generous pensions and generous salaries for high-ranking officials.
For people like Zhao Mancheng, Wu Nian admired his loyalty and bravery even more.
Nowadays, Zhao Mancheng and Zhao Yanting's troops are fighting fiercely, and the battlefield is very tragic.
What's more, Wu Nian was open and honest with the military and civilians, and he talked freely about everything. He personally started the nationalism of Yanhan and used it to unite people's hearts.
Having said that, we have to live a hard life and concentrate on doing big things.
This is a big deal.
That is to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong.
Although the Han people in Liaodong have not had a good life in these years. The Han Dynasty court absorbed the people's support and plundered them to the extreme, but the people had no complaints.
We work together as one to accomplish great things.
Even if he is a military general with a thousand households, if the prefect rebels, he may be slaughtered by his subordinates and soldiers.
He is really strong.
It is impossible to instigate rebellion.
Then there are not many options left. The high probability is the mobilization of troops. For example, Meng Yuan secretly established one or even several armies, conducted secret training, and prepared to enter the battlefield.
A huge country can do this kind of thing.
Especially the Imperial City Division's infiltration of Meng Yuan was not perfect. There were many things that the Imperial City Division's spies could not detect.
If this is the option.
The Mongolians could directly dispatch their secret troops and join in the decisive battle of Huanglong. Or they could attack Guangyang Prefecture from the north.
Most likely it's the former.
There are two full-time defense guards in Guangyang Prefecture, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Even if the Meng Yuan Dynasty gathers ten thousand households again to go south, the Han army and the people can resist for a long time as one.
If you have that kind of power, you might as well throw yourself into the decisive battle of Huanglong.
If Han loses, it will be in ruins for at least five years.
Now that the war has reached this point, both sides have suffered numerous casualties. But the Han army has the upper hand and is about to overwhelm the east wall and the west wall.
Meng Yuan's trump card, don't invest anymore.
Then you will lose.
On the high platform, in the strong wind, Wu Nian stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves flying, his eyes shining brightly, he was very confident and calm.
He turned around and said to an Ouchi guard beside him: "Instruct Zhang Sheng's troops to put on armor and prepare for battle."
"yes."
The Ouchi guards showed awe-inspiring expressions when they heard this. Now our army has the upper hand. But Junyuan still has 10,000 households left. Is this to guard against Junyuan?
He was thinking about it in his heart, but it didn't stop him from bowing in response, turning around and going down to deliver the order.
The ten thousand households of the two imperial guards share a camp. At this moment, Zhang Sheng's imperial guards have already assembled. Only some of them are wearing armor and some of them are preparing.
Next to the banner with the character "Zhang", Zhang Sheng was sitting on a small bench wearing short clothes. He looked up at the sky from time to time. He thought to himself: "The sky is really not beautiful. Although it is raining and cool, it is not suitable for fighting."
Fighting in rainy days will greatly increase physical strength consumption.
If a soldier catches a cold, he may catch a cold and become a large-scale disease.
Normally, on rainy days, troops would have to be summoned to retreat. But in this decisive battle, it was obviously impossible.
Life and death are in this moment.
Neither country will back down.
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves sounded. Zhang Sheng was heartbroken. He looked up and saw a cavalry galloping towards him.
"General, Your Majesty has an order. I order you to put on your armor and prepare for battle." The messenger on horseback shouted towards Zhang Sheng.
"It's an order." Zhang Sheng shouted, then he stood up energetically, his eyes flashing, and said to the left and right: "Send the order to the whole army, prepare for battle."
"Tell the soldiers that we are the soldiers of the King of Han and enjoy extremely high treatment. We must not lag behind others at critical moments."
"Give me the first prize."
"Yes." The soldiers on the left and right responded loudly, and then dispersed to pass the order. Following the order, the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, with the help of their companions, put on their jackets and armor and prepared for battle.
state.
The Ouchi guards had done this matter of putting on their coats and armor countless times.
They were also calm and made no mistakes.
His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, very fast.
But within this short period of time, the situation changed.
"Drive!!!!!!!" An Ouchi guard guarding the northern camp gate came galloping over with a solemn look on his face. He immediately arrived at the foot of the high platform and communicated with the Ouchi guard guarding the high platform.
After a while, he got off his horse and walked quickly onto the high platform.
Wu Nian heard the noise and turned around to look, his eyes very calm.
"Report to your Majesty, a troop of troops was found in the border area. The flag is "Qian". There are about 10,000 households. The soldiers are very strong and move quickly. They are still five or six miles away from us."
The Ouchi guard gasped and bent down to report.
The expressions of the Ouchi guards around him changed slightly.
Even in a decisive battle of this scale, the strength of a ten thousand households cannot be underestimated. As the troops of ten thousand households are put into the battlefield, the situation will definitely change.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Wu Nian's mouth, as expected.
This is Meng Yuan's trump card.
It's just Wanhu "gan", I don't know who it is. Among the many Wanhu generals, there is no one with the surname Gan. It seems that this army was really secretly trained by the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty to prepare for the decisive battle of Huanglong.
But even if you have a famous general and a strong army, it will be fine.
I have eleven thousand households.
The opponent also has 110,000 households.
In terms of military strength, both sides were evenly matched. In the battle between the eighteen Wanhu soldiers below, the Han soldiers had the upper hand. Now he still has the two strongest Ouchi guards Wanhu in his hands.
Why did the Mongolian people win?
With confidence and calmness, Wu Nian began to think about countermeasures. The opponent was still five or six miles away from the decisive battle, and there was still some time.
One can send Zhang Sheng to attack and volley to destroy the opponent.
Second, let Zhang Sheng stay on the northern flank of the battlefield to defend.
One attacks.
Both defend.
After careful consideration, Wu Nian chose the latter. The ten thousand soldiers of the Dauchi guards commanded by Zhang Sheng were not afraid of any of the ten thousand soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
But far from the decisive battle site, there are unpredictable risks.
Is this Meng Yuan’s trump card?
What if there is more?
Did you eat Zhang Sheng?
This is the decisive battle.
Be cautious and cautious at the same time, and be bold and bold. Be cautious when you are cautious, and fight bravely when you are fighting bravely.
The sparkle in Wu Nian's eyes suddenly became brighter.
"Tell all the generals the news. Send an order. Ask Zhang Sheng to leave the camp and form a defensive formation to the north." Wu Nian turned around and said to an imperial guard.
Chapter completed!
