Chapter 327: Dingguo’s public troops are really like gods
"Qiu Fu, look at the generals in Beijing, who can compete with you, just find one." Zhu Di said generously.
Qiu Fu glanced over and saw that there were not many Dukes in Beijing now... Among them, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, was still in Liaodong, Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng, led the army to conquer the Japanese country, and Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, went to the southwest.
Therefore, among the generals, there are still Zhang Fu, Wang Zhong, Huo Zhen, Wang Cong, Li Yuan and Zheng Heng.
Among them, Zhang Fu inherited his father's legacy and had excellent abilities and was regarded as the leader of the younger generation of generals. He was also the first to point out that Qiu Fu was old and unfit to lead the army.
This battle should take place among them.
Zhang Fu is also eager to try and gear up.
But surprisingly, Qiu Fu looked around and shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, all the generals in Beijing are either my subordinates or my juniors. In order to avoid using the big one to bully the small ones and win without force, I want to choose the ones in the capital.
A state bus driver."
Duke Guo in Beijing?
Xu Jingchang was startled for a moment, "I said Qi Guo Gong, how can you not imagine that you want to compete with Rong Guo Gong?"
Duke Rong Guo is Yao Guangxiao. This is Zhu Di's mastermind, literary, Taoist and military strategist. He is all top-notch. Although the old monk is old and has no interest in worldly affairs, he is not comparable to you, Qiu Fu.
No one could choose such a painful way to die.
Qiu Fu smiled faintly and said, "Master Yao's abilities are beyond my comparison, and I don't dare to humiliate myself."
Not looking for Yao Guangxiao?
So who are you looking for?
At this time, the prince Zhu Gaochi next to him suddenly coughed, "Um...Ding Guo Gong, do you think you want to fight with Qi Guo Gong?"
"I?"
Xu Jingchang's face was full of weirdness, with an indescribable feeling. If you can't find anyone, why are you looking for me?
Qiu Fu took a step forward and said loudly: "Dong Dingguo, the Xu family is the number one general in the world. You are famous all over the world and no one knows about you. What's more, you proposed it this time and wanted to compete. I want you and
You talk about war on paper, and I hope Duke Ding can give you some advice."
Qiu Fu took a step forward and stared at Xu Jingchang, full of confidence.
As for Xu Jingchang, he still frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Zhu Di said simply: "In that case, it's settled...Xu Jingchang, you are also a military minister, so you should pay more attention to military affairs."
Now that the talk has come to this point, Xu Jingchang can't retreat even if he wants to.
I had to ask people to prepare, and half an hour later, the competition officially began.
Taking advantage of the rest, Prince Zhu Gaochi came to Xu Jingchang's side and said helplessly: "The Duke of Qi is also the prince's master. He has taught me. I can only say that you have to ask for your own blessings."
The other ministers, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, etc. also came together to encourage Xu Jingchang. After all, compared with Qiu Fu, Xu Jingchang was still a member of the civil servant team, at least one of the Nine Qings. If he lost, everyone would lose.
Guy's face.
In contrast, Qiu Fu's side was much more relaxed, and he was completely confident... There was no way he could be unstable. Facing a novice like Xu Jingchang, Qiu Fu could squeeze him to death with just one finger.
This is a battle without any suspense.
Xu Jingchang has been imposing for many years, and today it's finally time for him to be slapped in the face.
Full of confidence, Qiu Fu stood in front of the sand table in advance.
"Dong Guo, do you think we are better than cavalry or infantry?" Qiu Fu said: "No matter what, just let the horses come over."
What he said is a lot of confidence.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Since this is a simulation of the Northern Expedition to Wala... please ask Duke Qi to command the troops according to your strategy and send troops north!"
Qiu Fu nodded, "In that case, I won't be polite... This time in the Northern Expedition, according to my plan, I will command 100,000 troops, including 30,000 elite cavalry and 70,000 infantry. They will leave the Dongsheng Guard and attack the grassland to attack the grassland.
A majestic teacher can crush the top of Mount Tai, and the sound of a drum can level the tiles."
Qiu Fu said as he placed a small triangular flag belonging to him on Dongshengwei.
The tiger looks at the grassland and is unstoppable.
Facing Qiu Fu's attack, Xu Jingchang calmly mobilized various herdsmen and retreated calmly, heading northwest and deep into the grassland.
Qiu Fu was slightly startled and said, "Dong Guo, if you retreat without a fight, aren't you afraid of using up your strength?"
Xu Jingchang smiled faintly and said, "The Ming Dynasty is powerful. It's good if I can protect myself. Naturally, I have to avoid its sharp edges."
Qiu Fu said again: "Then how can you guarantee that we will retreat into the desert before my army attacks? How can you force me to launch an offensive?"
"It's nothing... Wala has no less than 200 people working in Ming Dynasty. It's not difficult to know Duke Qi's movements in advance."
"What?"
Not to mention Qiu Fu, even others heard this. Wala worked so hard in the Ming Dynasty, why didn't the imperial court take any action?
"Dong Guo, why don't you arrest these Walas?"
"Arrest? Why arrest? Those grassland merchants are either from Oara or from Tatar. How can we ban them? And if these people are dealt with, there is no guarantee that more powerful ones will not come out, so it is better to keep them." Xu Jingchang said with a smile.
: "Gong Qi, speaking of which, this matter is still yours. Before you send out troops, you can carry out strategic deception. You can also ask the Jin Yiwei to cooperate. You can also ask the Jin Yiwei to arrest and elaborate, or release false news to deceive the other party. You
You haven't done anything, I know your movements, so it's not surprising."
Hearing these words, Qiu Fu looked unkind. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Even if you prepare in advance, I can chase you with troops, but I don't believe you can hide!"
Sure enough, Qiu Fu led his troops and advanced rapidly.
But no matter how he chased him, Xu Jingchang could handle it calmly and retreat step by step, but would not compete head-on with Qiu Fu.
In the blink of an eye, he had retreated for more than half a month, almost retreating to the depths of Desert West.
Qiu Fu also gradually became furious, "Ding Guo Gong, can you only run away?"
Xu Jingchang smiled, "No, when I retreated, I left some rangers behind, and they have already begun to attack your food road."
Qiu Fu hesitated for a while, but then Zhang Fu saw the clues. He took the initiative and said: "After half a month of pursuit, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses penetrated deep into the grassland, and the number of civilian livestock required more than tripled. In addition, the Mongolian cavalry attack, starting from Dongsheng
, out of five stones of grain, only one stone can be transported to the front of the army... Duke Qi, you need to pay attention to the grain and grass."
Qiu Fu naturally knew, and he hummed: "If Duke Dingguo keeps retreating, can Wala be able to withstand it?"
Xu Jingchang laughed and said: "The Mongolian cavalry migrates in pursuit of water and grass. Migration is a common occurrence. However, due to Duke Qi's fierce pursuit, we will lose about 20% of our livestock. There may be a famine after autumn and winter. But right now, there is no such thing.
What's the hindrance?"
Seeing this, Qiu Fu had no choice but to continue to drive his troops forward... He tried his best to catch up with Xu Jingchang and engage in a decisive battle, but Xu Jingchang just retreated and continued to send more cavalry, not only harassing the grain road, but also
In the middle of the night, gongs and drums were beaten, and the Ming army was not given time to rest.
Until a month later, a situation suddenly occurred...a group of Mongolian cavalry asked the Ming army to surrender.
Zhu Di scratched his beard and saw the power of this move.
"Qiu Fu, are you willing to believe this man's surrender?"
Qiu Fu shook his head subconsciously. He was fighting with Xu Jingchang. Xu Jingchang was full of tricks. It was nothing if he sent people to pretend to surrender.
"I don't believe it!"
Zhu Di said: "You really don't believe it?"
Qiu Fu was stunned. At this time, Zhang Fu frowned and said: "Duke Qi, your food and grass can no longer keep up."
Only then did Qiu Fu notice that there was a big problem with his logistics. Every time he sent a stone of food to the army, not only would he eat seven or eight stone, but he would also lose civilians and more and more livestock would die from exhaustion.
Zhang Fu said again: "Mr. Qi, among your infantry there are 20,000 firearms soldiers. The muskets, artillery, and gunpowder provided for them to fight take up too much transportation capacity. If you want to continue the pursuit now, you must
Make a sacrifice...Should we give up the firearms camp?"
Qiu Fu frowned more and more. A cannon weighed several hundred kilograms. Giving up the firearms camp would indeed relieve the pressure. However, without the firearms, it would have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
At this time, another Wala general came to surrender and told where the main Wala force was.
Zhu Di looked at Qiu Fu and asked, "Don't you still believe it?"
Qiu Fu was sweating on his temples. He believed that he might fall into Xu Jingchang's trap, but if he didn't believe it, Xu Jingchang could not be found in the vast next door, and his logistical supplies were in danger of being cut off.
Qiu Fu thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind, "Your Majesty, I will use three thousand fine cavalry to attack in multiple directions, and complete the victory in one battle!"
Qiu Fu made a decision, and at this time Zhu Di, who was in charge of the referee, also saw clearly that Xu Jingchang had used a trick to surrender.
Qiu Fu's army moved forward, crossed the river in pursuit, and finally met Xu Jingchang's troops.
It's just that these soldiers and horses fought and retreated, constantly moving backward.
Qiu Fu was just like the gambler who took the lead, desperately pursuing the gambler.
Just when the elite Ming army was exhausted and exhausted, Xu Jingchang finally took action... He mobilized 50,000 tiled cavalry from all directions to besiege Qiu Fu's Ming army.
The Ora cavalry, which had been patient for a long time, came overwhelmingly and fiercely.
Qiu Fu mobilized his troops and fought to the death... There is no doubt that the Ming army was really elite, and Qiu Fu fought desperately, which indeed caused trouble for Oara.
But in the face of absolute numbers, struggling is useless.
In the end, Zhu Di decided that Qiu Fu had lost.
And it was a complete failure.
"Duke Qi, you have been riding so hard, but the whole army has been wiped out...including you, I am afraid that you will also die on the battlefield!"
Qiu Fu only felt that his neck was cold, his whole body was trembling, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. Although it was just an argument on paper, he also felt that Wala Shizhi might treat him like this.
Does he have any way to deal with it?
Unfortunately, it looks like a real brow.
Could it be that he could only fail miserably?
"Your Majesty, I think that the Wala people may not be able to understand the movements of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses. I think that with an elite army, they will be able to defeat the enemy and win."
Xu Jingchang smiled faintly and said, "Duke Qi, do you mean that Wala will remain unaware and wait for your army to attack by surprise?"
At this time, even the civil servants saw the clues, and Yang Rong chuckled: "Duke Qi, if you think that Wala will be beaten passively, then it is not just talk on paper, it is a fantasy."
Qiu Fu's old face turned livid instantly, "I, I'm still not convinced!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Dong Qi, what else do you have to say?"
"Of course there is. Our Ming cavalry is invincible in the world. In the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that one Han was the Wuhu. One of our Ming soldiers is worth ten...twenty Ora cavalry. Moreover, once the Ora people suffer too much loss, they will be killed."
They will collapse without a fight. As long as I have five thousand fine cavalry, I can defeat the enemy."
Xu Jingchang chuckled, "Yes, my Ming cavalry is naturally a magic weapon descended from the sky, but you, Duke of Qi, don't forget that the Oara people live in the grassland and desert. If you bring troops to kill them, they will naturally have to fight to save their families."
.”
Qiu Fu was dumbfounded and could only look at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di took a long breath and said, "Military and state affairs are naturally not trivial... this time it is really Duke Ding who wins."
When Qiu Fu heard this, he burst into tears and knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I originally wanted to clear the desert for Your Majesty in my lifetime, but I didn't expect that my skills are inferior to others. I am ashamed of Your Majesty!" After saying this, he prostrated himself on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
