Yes, Zhu Su's strategy actually prompted the Yuan army to give up on a quick battle and instead ask for food and grass from their headquarters.
Then surprise soldiers came out to rob its food routes, causing the offense and defense to change shape!
And that Qingshan Pass is the "sanding place" that Zhu Su racked his brains to select for this battle. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, far away from Naha's headquarters and Guantong's partial division, and it is located in a low valley.
For example, the cold wind is still howling in the north at night, and that place is the only suitable place to camp for the night along the way.
Therefore, Zhu Su secretly ordered Zhu Di and Chang Mao to ambush here. While the north city gate was open and the Yuan army's attention was focused on the more than 20,000 prisoners, he secretly opened the south city gate and allowed Zhu Di to lead his troops to take a detour beforehand.
Ambush at Qingshan Pass.
Originally, according to Zhu Su's wishes, if Zhu Di was allowed to lead as many Ming troops as possible out of the city to set up an ambush, the bet would be that the Yuan army would not attack the city the next month. If the bet was wrong and the Yuan army would Yiqunbori City, the worst case scenario would be to use the militia temporarily.
If you can't resist, just abandon the city. This can ensure that the ambush troops will not lose. But Zhu Di refused. He and Chang Mao insisted on leading a thousand elite men. The reason was that there were nearly a thousand horses in the city, so instead of leading them
It is better to attack with a large number of slow-moving infantry than with the swift cavalry. Although the number is smaller, it can make a big difference.
It can be said that there are essential differences between Zhu Laosi and Zhu Laosu in their military use. Zhu Su, the fifth brother, is more stable and is used to using unrivaled power to crush others. Even if he does not plan against others, he would rather pay more.
The cost is used to ensure that the strategy can be implemented stably. The fourth brother, Zhu Di, is even more sharp in his military use and is good at finding the enemy's core weakness in chaotic situations, and then killing him with one blow.
For example, that time, his goal from the very beginning was to become the head coach of the Yuan Army!
"Yi... catch him!" Nai'er Buhua shouted loudly. The young man called himself "this king", which meant that he was one of the princes from the Ming court who came here.
, this person is not the commander-in-chief of the Ming army!
Although I was shocked by the courage of the Prince of Ming Dynasty, he dared to personally take the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops. But why didn't that deny him his chance? If he could capture the Prince of Ming Dynasty, then what would happen to him?
Not to mention that Fubingbubu was destroyed, he could very well achieve great achievements in the east...
The soldiers around Nai'er Buhua swarmed around Zhu Di, and the Ming soldiers who were guarding him were not afraid. The two groups of people immediately became entangled. As a prince, Zhu Di had amazing martial arts skills.
After stabbing several Yuan soldiers to death one after another.
"What a brave prince!" Nai'er was frightened when he saw it. The princes of the Ming Dynasty should all be pampered and well-off people. I heard that the fifth prince Zhu Su in Changli County was also frail and sick. Where did he come from?
Such a brave prince appeared?
The formation of the Yuan army continued to collapse. What was even more critical was that Nai'er did not focus all his attention on Zhu Di and neglected the command of the Dongyuan army. A full five thousand grain transport army was actually in Changmao.
The attack of thousands of people continued to retreat. The morale of the Ming army was like a rainbow, but Nai'er Buhua became increasingly guilty. Finally, Zhu Di raised a sword, but Nai'er Buhua was not careful and the sword fell out of his leg.
"No!" Nai'er was not surprised. He completely lost his will to fight and quickly turned his horse's head. He wanted to abandon the horse's legs and go first as a sign of respect. But before he had time to let go of his horse's legs, he saw a Zen staff in front of him.
It came with a whistling wind, and he lowered his head to avoid it, but the head of Kuodong's horse was smashed to pieces by the stick with a "pop"!
"What a powerful force!" Nai'er Buhua was horrified. He felt a wave of murderous intent coming from in front of him. The murderous intent was as strong as Chang Yuchun, the nightmare in his heart!
"Among the Han people, there are actually many outstanding people like Chang Yuchun!" Nai'er Buhua thought in horror as she fell from her horse.
However, that was no longer the first thought in his mind. Immediately afterwards, he was thrown off the horse in various ways, and then a cold feeling came on the back of his neck. King Zhu Di of Yan cut his horse with a sword, and a six-yang leader suddenly appeared.
Fly high!
"No!" After Zhu Di killed Nai'er, he had time to look up and see which warrior had helped him. Then he was surprised to find that the one who helped him was a man riding a black horse.
A tall and strong monk.
"The East of the Fourth Hall is actually so brave. The Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty is really full of heroes!" A tall monk in monk's robe laughed. "Since the East of the Fourth Hall has beheaded the thief, why don't you quickly order the sergeants?"
Zhu Di then woke up from a dream, quickly picked up Nai'er Buhua's head, and shouted loudly: "The thief general Nai'er Buhua has been beheaded, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender quickly?"
The Ming army who heard Zhu Di's cry immediately repeated it loudly. For a while, the news that Nai'er Buhua was killed by King Yan's formation spread throughout the valley. The Yuan army either scattered and fled, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
No one continued to resist.
"Hahahahahaha, so happy, so happy!" Chang Mao, who was covered in blood, laughed and walked towards Zhu Di. "He actually took the head of the enemy general in the east... Fourth Palace East, can he, Old Chang, obey me!"
He took a few steps closer and saw the figure walking side by side with Zhu Di. His pupils suddenly shrank.
"No me?"
Chang Mao immediately stepped forward with his spear, guarding Zhu Di behind him. How could he not recognize the tall and strong monk in front of him? Is it true that in the past, Chen Youliang, the first general in the East, once had Ye Xun knock him unconscious in front of the battle, and then
Zhang Dingbian was the "number one fierce general in the East" who was persuaded by Zhu Su to go to northern Xinjiang to resist the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
"Hahahaha, it's me, a boy from the Chang family." When Zhang Ding saw Chang Mao, he laughed heartily: "My martial arts has improved a lot. I am worthy of Chang Shiwan's descendants." He touched it unconsciously.
He touched the arrow wound on his leg and arm and looked at Chang Mao's face with a look of nostalgia.
"Compared to your father in the past, you are not as good as Yuanji. You really need to keep improving!"
Chang Mao hesitated when he heard the words, and his face turned red. He also knew that he was not as good as his father. Although he had conquered the Duke's title, his military achievements were not as good as those of those marquises. Except for his father Yu Yin, there were almost no one in the army.
How much military power is left in the East? Among the nobles, there are many people who say behind their backs that they are "the father of a tiger and the son of a dog" and "arrogantly occupying high positions".
It is for this reason that Chang Maocai always takes the lead in every battle and is not afraid of life or death.
"Brother Chang, don't be nervous. If this person hadn't helped, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to kill Nai'er Buhua." Zhu Di comforted Chang Mao, then turned to Zhang Ding and said, "I don't know, General Zhang
Why is it there? Can you tell me?" There was also warning in his tone.
Seeing that Zhu Di was still vigilant, Zhang Dingbian secretly praised him in his heart and said: "A certain person has refused to become a foreigner. There is no need to call him a general in the east of the Fourth Palace. He can just call him a layman."
"No, maybe someone was outside the customs, hunting the scattered Yuan people, but a few months ago, he accidentally learned a piece of news."
"I wonder if the Fifth Palace Master of the Ming Dynasty is in Changli? I am asking you to inform our Fifth Palace Master about an urgent matter!"
