Chapter 292: Coaching change before the battle (please vote for the third update, recommended vote!)
"General, General, come here!"
Li Jian, the deputy general on the left side of Geng Bingwen's army, saw General Geng running wildly from his saddle, and Zhang Yu was chasing after him brandishing a big gun. He hurriedly rode up to meet Geng Bingwen, passed Geng Bingwen, and led his own troops to fight with Zhang Yu's pursuers.
At the same time, Xia Xun rode a horse and came nearby. His clothes were no different from those of the Ming army. Wouldn't it be unfair if he was bumped into by the Yan army and killed with a knife? So he kept chasing among the Ming army.
King Yan's banner, only in front of this acquaintance can the Yan army know his identity.
However, King Yan Zhu Di personally led four thousand cavalry, and the horses trampled the Ming army's company camp. In the chain camp of thousands of horses and thousands of troops, as soon as the momentum stopped, the advantage of the cavalry disappeared. Therefore, King Yan's four thousand cavalry did not stop at all.
It was as if a gust of wind had long ago swept away all the people, leaving only the last chaotic situation like a pot of porridge. Xia Xun was looking for himself when he suddenly saw a big flag with the word Geng coming, and a big flag behind him was not far away, but
It was the character Zhang. Knowing that Zhang Yu was chasing him, he squeezed towards him.
When Xia Xun came closer, he saw a fierce general with a long sword in his arms. He was unstoppable and knocked several Yan army warriors off their horses. Although the Yan army was brave, no one could rush within five steps in front of him.
Zhang Yu wielded a spear and hurriedly wanted to step forward to fight him, but he was entangled by more than a dozen Ming army sword and shield wielders and was unable to escape for a while.
When Xia Xun saw it, he threw away the steel knife in his hand. The knife whined, turned into a ball of light, and whizzed straight to Li Jian's back. However, Xia Xun had never practiced flying knives, let alone such practice.
A large flying knife was thrown accurately, but the handle of the knife arrived first. With a "clang" sound, Li Jian was hit hard on the back of the heart by the handle of the knife. Fortunately, he was wearing leather armor, otherwise
His spine was bruised and bruised.
It was one of our own people behind us, how could we be attacked?
Li Jian was slightly startled, but he was distracted by this. There was a Yan Army cavalryman in front of him, his surname was Xue Mingliu. He saw many of his brothers were killed by the Ming general opposite, and he was very angry.
He shouted loudly, blood gushing from his pupils, risking his life, and rushed straight towards Li Jian with his spear. Just when Li Jian was stunned, it was too late and then too fast, Li Jian had no time to assassinate Xue Liu and Zhang.
Li Jian yelled and was stabbed in the chest by Xue Liuyi's spear before he could lift his horse to avoid it. He fell off the horse on his back.
"No, the prince-in-law is injured, the famous prince-in-law is injured!"
As soon as Li Jian fell, the Ming army on the left and right were in an uproar. Xue Liu fiercely raised his horse and was about to stab the Ming general to death with another spear. Suddenly he heard the Ming army shouting and stopped the spear abruptly.
On his left and right, several Yan army swordsmen and shieldmen had already known the opportunity and pounced forward. Without hesitation, they dragged Li Jian's feet and dragged him into their own camp.
It turned out that Li Jian was not only the deputy general of the rebel army, but also a consort. He was the husband of the seventh daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, the uncle of the current emperor, and the brother-in-law of King Zhu Di of Yan. Xue Liu never thought that he would be a concubine.
It was a great achievement for a little cavalryman to capture a prince-in-law. King Yan always had clear rewards and punishments, so he would definitely benefit from it. After a while, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Li Jian was hit by a spear in the chest, hurting his lungs, and blood was pouring out of his mouth. He was still fierce, roaring angrily and yelling: "Who is hurting people with hidden arrows? Who is hurting people with hidden arrows! Come out! Come out! Fight with someone for three hundred years."
round!"
"Someone, please help the prince's consort down and let the military doctors take care of him!"
As soon as Zhang Yu gave the order, several Yan soldiers carried Li Jian who was scolding and ran back. Zhang Yu raised his gun and saw Xia Xun standing not far away, waving to him, with nothing under his ribs.
, there is only one scabbard, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile...
In the battle of Hutuo River, the Ming army's defense line was first blocked by Zhang Bao, and Xia Xun opened a gap from the inside. Then Yan King Zhu Di personally led a company of 4,000 iron horses selected from the three guards of Yanshan to mount a battalion, causing a mess. Then Zhang Yu
Zhu Neng and others launched a fierce attack. The Ming army was completely in chaos and fell into a situation of fighting on their own. The defensive line carefully built by Geng Bingwen turned into a ball of scattered sand, especially this ball of scattered sand was still fighting and retreating.
In the middle, even the superiors and subordinates did not know what to do, the soldiers were at a loss what to do, they were completely defeated, and every battle was in vain.
Relying on the few remaining strong bridges, the Ming army fled back to the south bank one after another. The prince-in-law Li Jian was seriously injured and captured. The right deputy general Ning Zhong, the commander-in-chief Liu Sui and other senior generals were also captured alive by the Yan army.
, trampled to the death of countless people, and more than 20,000 people abandoned their armor and surrendered. You must know that this war is different from fighting foreigners. As enemies of foreigners, in addition to instinctive resistance and the deep hatred accumulated in the past, the soldiers also have to consider
After surrendering, he was trapped in a foreign race, forever inferior to others, and the consequences of being a slave.
However, surrendering to King Yan is just a change of banner and you are still his soldier. There are no changes in other aspects. In the eyes of some scholars, King Yan is a rebellious man, but in the eyes of these soldiers, he is just an uncle and nephew of the royal family.
A careful calculation of the personal grievances between the emperor and the emperor revealed that the emperor was unkind in the first place. Furthermore, since he ascended the throne, his contempt for the warriors also chilled the hearts of the soldiers. Various factors caused the Ming army to have a weak fighting spirit and a defeat.
Surrender, which is very different from their heroic style when they fought against the foreign barbarians.
Geng Bingwen fled back to the south bank in embarrassment under the protection of his own bodyguards. When he stopped and turned around, he saw that his army was in a state of disarray. The soldiers who were stranded on the north bank were still fighting hard. The soldiers who were swarming across the river were constantly being squeezed into the river.
Being swept away by the roaring river, I couldn't help but burst into tears...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In this battle, the King of Yan used fighting to raise his troops, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. However, Geng Bingwen's morale was low and he was unable to recover, so he had to send his troops back to Zhending. The King of Yan rushed non-stop, crossed the Hutuo River, and came to the city of Zhending. He built various siege equipment and stormed the city.
In Zhending City, Geng Bingwen, while adhering to Zhending, compiled a memorial table and sent it to the court, describing in detail what happened before and after the defeat, asking for punishment, and asking the court to urge the two groups of Anlu Marquis Wu Jie and Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao to speed up their journey and arrive as soon as possible.
After arriving, we will gather troops together and then draw up a counterattack plan.
When Geng Bingwen's memorial of defeat was sent to Jinling, Zhu Yunwen was still discussing Zhou rites with Fang Xiaoru. As soon as Fang Xiaoru proposed the Jingtian system, he encountered strong opposition from many civil and military officials, including most of the civil servants who were originally on the same front as him.
, they felt that the great Confucian's idea was simply out of place and unimaginable, but Fang Xiaoru, an idealist, did not agree with it. When debating with the ministers, he also changed his usual modest and gentlemanly demeanor.
His usual appearance is totally different.
In Fang Xiaoru's heart, restoring Zhou rites and the system of well fields is the only way to resolve all conflicts in the world and restore the sage rule in ancient legends. For his highest ideal of defending, he will do whatever it takes. However, Yangchun Baixue,
He was a high-minded man with too many opponents, but surprisingly, the emperor was very sympathetic to his views. The two monarchs and ministers often talked about the ancient system together, and were intoxicated in the tranquility and tranquility of the ancient pastoral style.
At present, the top priority of the imperial court is to cut down the vassals. Although Zhu Yunwen was a naive novice like Fang Xiaoru in politics, he also knew that it was not appropriate to make earth-shaking changes to the imperial court at this time. However, he still studied tirelessly from Fang Xiaoru.
Now, he plans to get rid of the King of Yan, cut off all the vassal kings, and concentrate all the power in his own hands. Then he will implement, implement, and advance step by step according to Mr. Xiao Nao's vision, and finally achieve the great rule of the world, and the sage king will do nothing.
Zhu Yunwen was afraid of King Yan Zhu Di from the bottom of his heart, but he was blindly confident in the force he had. He always believed that under the careful planning of his two gentlemen, "Wolong and Phoenix", he would
Given the order from heaven, under the righteous call of the orthodox emperor, King Yan and his followers will undoubtedly be defeated. Therefore, when he ordered Xie Gui and others to arrest King Yan, he was full of confidence. This time, he let Geng Bingwen lead the rebellion.
He was also confident when he launched his Northern Expedition.
But twice in a row, his predictions were wrong. Geng Bingwen urgently sent him not a battle report of a great victory, but a memorial to apologize. Zhu Yunwen woke up from the beautiful dream of the ancient sage, became furious, slapped the case and cursed: "
Geng Bingwen is stupid and incompetent, and the soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death. They really let me down, I deeply let down my hopes."
A group of ministers who rushed over after hearing the news looked at each other in shock. Geng Bingwen was defeated so quickly, which was completely beyond their expectation. In the past, they were very optimistic about the war. They all believed that once the imperial army arrived, the annihilation of King Yan would be just around the corner. Now they finally realized that.
Come on, I've cut a thorn in my head when I cut the feudal clan. This Zhu Laosi is not an easy persimmon to pinch.
Qi Tai consoled him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Victory or defeat is a matter of military strategism. One battle cannot determine the overall situation. Now the armies of Wu Jie and Wu Gao are heading north. General Geng, a veteran general of the country, was just careless for a moment.
Because of Yan Ni's trick, he lost the initiative. Your Majesty can give him a stern reprimand and make him pay for his crimes. I believe that the Marquis of Changxing can..."
Before Qi Tai finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen said calmly: "Geng Bingwen is incompetent and cannot be used in a big way! How can I use him again? He should be replaced by a general who will lead the rebel army and kill the rebels for me."
Qi Tai changed his face and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. Changing generals before the battle is a taboo in the army. Moreover, General Geng has experienced hundreds of battles and is resourceful. How can your Majesty abandon him just because of temporary gains and losses? Looking at the government and the public, he is worthy of being compared with General Geng."
Is there any other famous general who can rival the general?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Who said that there will be no famous generals in our court? Your Majesty, I recommend one person to help your Majesty."
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly asked: "Who do you recommend, sir?"
Huang Zicheng said: "Cao Guogong Li Jinglong."
Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Cao Guogong has only trained troops for the imperial court, and how has he ever fought for the country? If Cao Guogong goes out, he is probably not the opponent of Yan Ni, a figure who has been fighting in northern Xinjiang for a long time. If the emperor is determined to change the commander, I think Wei Guogong Xu Huizu
He can succeed to the post of Marshal of the Rebellion. For one thing, Xu Huizu went on an expedition with his father when he was young. He witnessed the battlefield and had war experience. Secondly, General Xu Da is the number one commander in our Ming army. There are many Xu Da in the army now.
If Xu Huizu, the general's old corps, takes command and goes on an expedition, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted."
Huang Zicheng said: "Those who are good at training soldiers will naturally be good at fighting. Master Qi, as the minister of the Ministry of War, doesn't even understand such a simple truth? As for Xu Huizu, although the Duke of Wei is loyal to the king and has never helped Zhou to do evil, his sister is after all
Princess of Yan, if the Duke of Wei is unbearable on the battlefield and indulges the enemy a little bit, wouldn't he be taken advantage of by the King of Yan? Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is the legitimate son of General Li Wenzhong. He is well versed in strategy and can be called a handsome man. Therefore, I recommend Cao Guogong Li Jinglong to lead the expedition.
"
Zhu Yunwen thought to himself: "Jiujiang is my cousin, so he is naturally more reliable than Xu Huizu. Sir, he knows my intentions. Jiujiang is indeed the best choice to take charge!" Then he said with finality: "I will follow Mr. Cao Guogong and worship Li Jinglong as my advisor."
Rebellious General!"
Zhu Yunwen punched the imperial case with a "bang" and said fiercely: "Wu Jie and Wu Gao's troops, plus the imperial army in Zhending City, total 250,000 troops. I will give you this opportunity again."
Cao Guogong has 250,000 soldiers and an army of 500,000. If Yan Ni is undefeated, how can the laws of heaven exist?"
