On March 22, 17th year of Hongxuan, the emperor issued a clear edict, angering the Three Feudalists for "disrupting" the border, and ordered the world to fight against it. The next day, he selected the pioneers in the martial arts field in the Shenqi Camp by martial arts competition.
The officials and several generals fought against each other. King Xiao Wei of Xingyang won. The emperor was very happy and ordered Xiao Wei and the general He Baohua to be the chief and deputy vanguard. He led a 30,000 army to set off for the Japanese and rushed to Linzi, and ordered King Xiao of Xiang to be the emperor.
Rui was the commander and commanded 200,000 troops as the follow-up. It was important to protect the country and protect the people. As soon as this edict was issued, the people's hearts became safe, and the war reported the panic when they first arrived in the capital.
Emperor Hongxuan issued an edict very happily, but Xiao Wei was so busy that he was very busy. Although Xiao Wei had read the military books and strategies, he had fought several small-scale wars, but he was talking about leading the army to fight.
But it was the first time the big girl got into the sedan chair. He Baohua, the deputy pioneer, is also a rookie general. When it comes to scheduling ability, it is even worse than Xiao Wei. If two rookies get together, then there will be a lot of fun.
Look, fortunately, most of the guards of the Xiang Palace are veterans who have been in the army for many years. They are very familiar with the military affairs. They are waiting to help them with each other. Only then can there be no big mistakes and they are busy.
After five or six days, the preparations before the war were basically completed.
On March 29, 17th year of Hongxuan, the vanguard of the king advanced eastward. The emperor sent the prince to send him to the suburbs outside the city. After a farewell, Xiao Wei led 30,000 troops to advance eastward. He walked quickly and rushed within three days.
Arrived in Kaifeng, the Yellow River Navy escorted the entire army across the Yellow River, walked through Baixing, entered Qi from Jin, passed Mengmen Pass, and led the army into Shandong on April 21, and the entire army was stored outside the city of Qizhou (
Today in Jinan) has not moved forward again. This time, I have not moved for several days. The reason I claimed to the outside world is that the army is too fast and I must be able to move forward after restoring my energy. Is the actual reason?
It was because of a tip.
The tip is very small, but it is just the size of a palm. It looks too thick and is too different from an ordinary scent bag. There are only a small note inside, and there are not many words on it. It is full of calculations, but only a few hundred
There are not enough words, but only a few lines of text make Xiao Wei feel a headache. Just a small note, Xiao Wei has read it hundreds of times in the past few days, and he can recite it.
But I can't help but take a look at it a few more times. What's going on after seeing it? I can only use one word to describe it - I want to cry! [
Obviously, the secret that can make Xiao Wei, who has always been accustomed to such a headache, cannot come from his confidants, but only from Mr. Xiao. As for the secret hidden inside, it is simple to say.
There is only one message in total, that is, there is no follow-up main force. To resolve the siege of Linzi, Xiao Wei can only try it out by himself. As for the reason, Mr. Xiao did not mention a word in his letter, but he gave a death order.
That is, the battle must be started before May. Just this one is enough for Xiao Wei to worry about it, but the matter is not over yet. The order also clearly stipulates that regardless of whether Xiao Wei can lift the siege of Linzi, his troops
The soldiers and horses must work hard to deal with the enemy until early June, and cannot be at a disadvantage. Under such strict orders, Xiao Wei could not cry. If possible, Xiao Wei wanted to fight.
He kicked his father's ass hard and scolded him viciously: What the hell is this bullshit command.
30,000 vs. 250,000. With such a huge gap in the military strength, it is already a huge difficulty to avoid being eaten by someone in one bite. You have to fight with others in full swing and difficult to distinguish. How can this be possible? That's right, Linzi
There are more than 90,000 government troops in the city, but first of all, Wan Dachun is not something that Xiao Wei can command. Secondly, Xiao Wei knows that Wan Dachun is a turtle
, there is no other ability, and the defense is first-class. If he wants him to leave the city and fight against Sanfan, it is a matter of no other goal. In this way, Xiao Wei has to resist all the problems. This is a difficult problem.
But Xiao was so worried that the wrinkles on his forehead became a little deeper.
It's really difficult. If all the 30,000 people and horses under his command were cavalry, Xiao Wei would still be confident of fighting guerrilla warfare with the Three Feudalists and conspiracy, he might be able to complete the task, but now he has a lot of plans.
However, one thousand cavalry, and most of them were eliminated from the Shenqi Battalion. In the military order, it was planned to allocate two thousand strong cavalry from the Shenqi Battalion to enrich the vanguard army, but the military order was returned to the military order, and the eldest prince Xiao Rufeng was at all.
I don't buy it. I'm just allocated it to Xiao Wei a thousand unqualified cavalry who should have been eliminated. The horses I rode were also poor, just stronger than the slow horses.
It was too late to put the cavalry into the Three Feudals, so how could it be said that the confrontation was on the battlefield? For this matter, Xiao Wei defeated the lawsuit in front of the imperial court, but it still ended up in vain. There was only a few people in hand, even if Xiao
I am a clever woman, but it is hard to cook rice, right?
Is it possible to fight? Obviously, it will not be possible. Not to mention that Wan Dachun sent people to ask for help every few days, nor do they say that the military orders are as good as a mountain. Even if Xiao Wei is determined to delay and not move forward, it is impossible, just because Qizhou
The governor obviously also received the imperial edict, and he came to the military camp every day to urge Xiao Wei to go to the front line. The subtext inside and outside the words was that Xiao Wei would not advance again, and the food and fodder in Qizhou would not be easy to allocate to Xiao Wei's army.
But a fatal big trouble, you should know that the military orders were everywhere, and the Xiao Wei troops, who were eager to go on the expedition, basically rely on the governments of the states where they passed by. After arriving in Qizhou, they had their own
The food and fodder have been consumed almost all. If Qizhou really doesn’t provide food, will all the 30,000 soldiers and horses drink the northwest wind?
Fighting must be fought. Even if Xiao Wei is reluctant, this battle must be fought. It is not just a matter of military orders. Xiao Wei is very clear that his troops are actually a cover, and the purpose is to cover up the people's ears and ears, so that
In this sense, only the more the noise Xiao Wei made, the better the cover-up role of Mr. Xiao. Otherwise, the plan to defend the north and attack the south would have been.
The problem of "exposure" in advance is how to fight, and this is the most fundamental reason for Xiao Wei's difficulties.
Linzi belongs to Qingzhou. Although it is adjacent to the water and mountains, most of the territory belong to plains. There are only a few mountainous areas in the south. Most of them are low hills. There are very few places suitable for ambushing, which are like this one.
What is suitable is a cavalry battle. Xiao Wei lacks cavalry. If the entire army advances rashly, once it is surrounded by the enemy's heavy army group, there will only be one consequence - the entire army is wiped out!
Head attack is obviously a very stupid tactic, but if you want to lure the enemy into the deep, you lack sufficient confidence. After all, the Three Feudatories has been slow to attack Linzi, and they deliberately let Wan Dachun's envoys keep asking for help. The purpose is not only
In order to capture Linzi City as simple as Xiao Wei's estimate, it is probably to lure and annihilate the troops from the court to aid, and then take advantage of the victory to seize the city. Obviously, once Xiao Wei's troops show their faces, they will wait for it.
It will never be a small number of enemies, but most of the enemy troops will surround them like evil tigers and tear Xiao Wei's troops into pieces. Under such circumstances, it is already extremely important to protect themselves.
It's difficult, let alone defeating the enemy.
Of course, it is not impossible to have no solution, but Xiao Wei can be used, but he is not sure whether he can use it. The Three Feudatories suspicious of each other. Although it is called Yijun, he actually has different thoughts, so he gave Xiao Wei a chance to take advantage of it.
However, the strength of our own troops is too weak. Even if we can take advantage of this weakness of the other party, Xiao Wei cannot guarantee that he can succeed by chance. After all, any of the Three Feudals's forces is stronger than Xiao Wei's troops.
If you act blindly several times, you will not only not be able to break each one, but you will easily knock your front teeth off. However, no matter what, this is the only opportunity that Xiao Wei can use, so it is impossible to let it go.
, and this is the reason why Xiao Wei was unable to move forward, just because Xiao Wei was waiting for the emergence of He Huailiang's envoy.
The news was released early in the morning, but it has been a few days since the other party sent someone to come. Seeing that the May military order was approaching, Xiao Wei couldn't help but feel anxious--Ma
At the auction of the plaque, the guy who claimed to be Dongfang Mingmei once said that there was a way to let Xiao Wei lead the army to fight, and he also left a signal of contact. Xiao Wei didn't believe it at the beginning, but although he verbally agreed to the other party, he also left behind.
The contact channel provided by Dongfang Mingmei was actually just a joke in his heart, but he didn't expect that the joke had become a fact now. This made Xiao Wei quite curious, but he thought about it all.
All the things encountered, I didn't notice that He Huailiang and his side had any action to support him in leading the army. But then again, Xiao Wei himself didn't know how all this happened, for his father, Emperor Hongxuan and others.
Xiao Wei is also very ignorant about the activities between the vassals. Of course, those things are not the focus of Xiao Wei's consideration at the moment. After all, Xiao Wei is not well-fed and has no right to participate in the matter that is too secret.
As for now, how to fight this battle is the real barrier that Xiao Wei has to face. Being able to pass this barrier will be a vast sky. Once something happens, it will be a fate that will never be restored. Xiao Wei will not be worried.
Very strong.
Waiting for the rest of the time, waiting for the extremely difficult time. As the days approached the final deadline for dispatch, Xiao Wei looked calm on the surface, and even had the leisure to chat with his generals, but in fact he was anxious.
It was already a dangerous situation, but fortunately, the hard waiting for many days was not in vain. Just when Xiao Wei was almost unable to hold on, He Huailiang's envoy finally appeared...
