Chapter 876 The army goes out! Victory in the first battle
Wearing armor and looking heroic, he stood on the school field, looking at the soldiers lined up in front of him, feeling a sense of pride and ambition in his heart.
"Soldiers!" Zhu Biao shouted, his voice loud and firm, "We are about to embark on a journey to the border to defend our homeland and protect our people. Although this journey is full of difficulties and dangers, as long as we work together, we will not be able to overcome it.
Insurmountable difficulty!"
When the soldiers heard this, they raised their chests and heads one after another, and shouted in unison: "I am willing to follow His Highness through fire and water, no matter what!"
Zhu Han stood aside, looking at this scene, his heart full of joy and pride. He walked up and said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, it's getting late, it's time to set off. Remember, no matter where you are,
, we must always bear in mind our mission and responsibilities.”
Zhu Biao nodded heavily and bowed deeply to Zhu Han: "Uncle Huang's teachings, Biao'er will keep them in mind. Uncle Emperor, please take care of yourself and wait for your nephew to return in triumph!"
The morning light had just broken through, and there was still a layer of mist on the streets of the capital. Zhu Biao was wearing armor and standing on the school grounds with a heroic figure. His eyes were firm and deep, looking into the distance, where he was about to embark.
During the journey, Zhu Han stood aside, his eyes full of reluctance and expectation. There was no need to say anything between the two, as the deep uncle-nephew friendship was unspoken.
"Biao'er," Zhu Han called softly, with a bit of heaviness in his voice, "this trip to the frontier is a long and difficult journey. You must always remember that your shoulders not only carry the safety of the Ming Dynasty, but also the safety of millions of millions of people."
The blessing of the surname.”
Zhu Biao turned around, looked at Zhu Han firmly, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, don't worry, Biao'er will definitely live up to the expectations of his father and uncle. When I go to the border, I will take the country as my priority."
Seriously, put the people first, vow to expel foreign enemies and defend our country."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. "I am very comforted that you have such determination. But things are unpredictable on the battlefield, so you must be careful and don't underestimate the enemy."
At this time, the generals on the side also came forward to express their respect and blessings to Zhu Biao. General Li, a veteran of the battlefield, patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Your Highness, although I cannot follow you
I went to the border in person, but my heart is with you. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must stay calm and use your wits."
Zhu Biao nodded solemnly and bowed deeply to General Li and the generals: "Biao'er will bear in mind the teachings of all generals. If this trip is successful, it will all depend on your generous help. When I return, I am willing to meet you all.
Let’s have a celebratory drink together!”
As the marching horn sounded, the army began to move slowly. Zhu Biao mounted his horse and looked back in the direction of the capital, which was his starting point and the beacon of his return. He shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
Through the morning fog, every soldier's heart is inspired.
In the team, the soldiers responded in unison and their morale was high. This expedition was not only to fight, but also to protect their homes and relatives behind them. Zhu Biao and Zhu Han exchanged a firm look, which was a kind of expression that did not require words.
Trust and entrustment.
During the march, Zhu Biao discussed tactics with the generals from time to time and understood the status of the soldiers. His care and carefulness made everyone feel the warmth and strength. During a short break, Zhu Biao sat around with several trusted generals.
Beside the bonfire, the firelight illuminated his resolute face.
"In this battle, we not only need courage, but also strategy." Zhu Biao said slowly, looking at everyone, "Although the enemy is strong, we have the right location and people. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the enemy."
Vice General Zhang, a young and brave general, stepped forward and said: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. I am willing to be the vanguard, charge into the battle, and defend Your Highness and the Ming Dynasty to the death!"
Other generals also expressed their opinions, vowing to live and die with Zhu Biao and fight the national disaster together. Zhu Biao looked at these loyal soldiers, and his heart was filled with incomparable emotion and pride.
"Okay! With all the gentlemen by your side, why fear strong enemies!" Zhu Biao raised his wine glass and drank with everyone, "Let us use this glass of wine to swear an oath to go to war and return in triumph!"
As the army continued to deepen, the scenery along the way gradually changed from bustling towns to desolate wilderness, and the climate became increasingly harsh. The wind and sand were filled with wind and sand, and the roads were rugged, but this did not diminish the fighting spirit of the army, but instead inspired them to become more determined.
determination.
One evening, the army camped and rested by a river valley. Zhu Biao and several major generals sat around a campfire, discussing the next strategic deployment.
"Your Highness, the terrain ahead is complex, and the enemy may take advantage of the terrain to set up an ambush." General Li frowned and pointed to a certain spot on the map. "We need to send scouts to investigate first to ensure the safety of the marching route."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and then looked at Vice General Wang aside: "General Wang, I will leave this matter to you. You must be careful and report back immediately if you discover the enemy's situation."
Vice General Wang took the order and left, while Zhu Biao continued to discuss other details with the generals. At this time, a soldier hurried over with an urgent letter in his hand: "Your Highness, a letter from the capital!"
Zhu Biao took the letter, read it quickly, and his expression changed slightly. He looked up at the special envoy sent by Zhu Han to deliver the letter, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle, do you have any other instructions?"
The special envoy bowed and replied: "Prince Han asked me to tell His Highness that everything is going well in the court. Please don't worry about Your Highness. He is aware that the terrain ahead is complicated, and he has specially ordered craftsmen to rush to make a batch of lightweight investigative equipment, which will be delivered soon.
.Please take care of yourself, Your Highness, in preparation for your triumphant return."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a warm current surged in his heart.
"Please tell the emperor that Biao'er will live up to his expectations and will return in triumph." Zhu Biao handed the letter to the generals beside him for circulation, his tone full of determination and confidence.
As night fell, there was silence in the valley, with only the crackling of the bonfires reflecting the resolute faces of the soldiers. Zhu Biao stood alone outside the camp, looking at the stars in the sky, with many thoughts in his mind.
"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I must persevere." Zhu Biao warned himself silently in his heart, "For the sake of Ming Dynasty, for the people, and more importantly, to live up to the expectations of the emperor."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As night falls, the cold wind in the valley becomes more and more biting. Zhu Biao stood outside the camp, staring at the dark night sky in the distance, but his heart was filled with confusion.
fiery.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist and shone on the army that was ready to go, Zhu Biao was already standing at the front of the team, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.
"Soldiers!" Zhu Biao's voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the tranquility of the morning. "Today, we will step into an unknown and dangerous territory, but please remember that we are the warriors of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Steel Wall guarding this land.
!No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, we must move forward bravely and fight to the end for the Ming Dynasty and for our family!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, their morale was like a rainbow, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken by this excitement. Zhu Biao turned to the generals beside him and said: "General Li, when you lead the forward troops, you must be careful and check the road conditions ahead.
Ensure the safe passage of the army."
General Li took the order and led a team of elite soldiers, which quickly disappeared into the morning mist. Zhu Biao continued to deploy follow-up actions. Every instruction he gave was clear and unambiguous, revealing his deep understanding and grasp of the battle situation.
The army moved forward slowly, crossing lofty mountains and turbulent rivers. On the way, they encountered several small-scale bandit attacks. However, under Zhu Biao's calm command, the soldiers quickly responded to the challenge and defeated the many with less, and succeeded.
Defeated the enemy.
One afternoon, the army marched to a steep valley with sharp cliffs on both sides and only a sliver of sky exposed. General Li hurried back with a solemn expression: "Your Highness, a large number of enemy troops were found in ambush in the valley ahead. They are large in number and well-equipped.
It seems that we are well prepared.”
Zhu Biao frowned and quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, quickly calculating countermeasures in his mind. Head-on confrontation was never the best strategy, he had to be smart.
"Send the order, and the whole army will immediately stop advancing and hide and standby." Zhu Biao ordered in a deep voice, and then summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.
"Your Highness, why don't we use the terrain of the valley to set up an ambush, lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop." A young general suggested.
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and nodded: "This plan is very clever, but it needs to be implemented with extreme caution. Lieutenant General Wang, you lead a group of soldiers to go around the enemy's rear. When our army confronts them head-on, surprise them from behind and beat them."
I was caught off guard."
Vice General Wang took the order and left, quickly leading his elite troops into action. Zhu Biao stayed on the front in person, commanding the army to lay out traps and disguises, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
As night fell, there was silence in the valley, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the tranquility of the night. The enemy did not seem to notice the abnormal movements of the army, and still deployed their defenses step by step.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves at the entrance of the valley, and a group of "defeated" Ming soldiers rushed into the enemy camp in a hurry, deliberately leaving a loophole to lure the enemy to pursue.
When the enemy generals saw this, they were overjoyed, thinking that the Ming army had been defeated, and immediately ordered the entire army to attack, vowing to annihilate this "remnant and defeated general" in one fell swoop.
However, they did not realize that they had stepped into the trap set by Zhu Biao step by step. When the enemy troops went deep into the valley and were about to encircle the "defeated army", arrows suddenly rained down from the cliffs on both sides, and huge rocks rolled down.
Down, the enemy troops were rushed to pieces.
At the same time, the strange troops led by Vice General Wang also came out from behind the enemy's rear, forming a pincer attack with the Ming army that was facing a head-on confrontation. The enemy army suddenly fell into chaos, was divided and surrounded, and was annihilated one by one.
The battle lasted all night and until dawn, the enemy army was finally completely defeated. Zhu Biao stood high in the valley, looking at the corpses of the enemy soldiers and the captured trophies on the ground, but there was no joy of victory in his heart.
"Clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and let's move on." Zhu Biao's voice was calm and firm, as if what he had just experienced was not a bloody battle, but an ordinary march.
Under the steady command of Zhu Biao, the army quickly and methodically started the post-war cleanup work. The soldiers had a clear division of labor. Some were responsible for collecting trophies, while others were busy treating the wounded. Although the entire camp experienced a night of fierce fighting, it was in good order.
, showing the efficiency and discipline of the Ming army.
Zhu Biao stood at a high place and glanced at the busy soldiers. He felt both gratified at the victory and sad at the sacrifice of the soldiers. He slowly walked down the hillside, came to the wounded, personally asked about their injuries, and gave them some advice.
Encouragement and comfort.
"Brother, how do you feel?" Zhu Biao squatted in front of a soldier with an injured leg, his tone full of concern.
The soldier endured the pain and forced out a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine, just a minor injury. Your Highness, we won, didn't we?"
Zhu Biao patted his shoulder lightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, we won. But remember, every victory is hard-won. It is earned by brothers with blood and sweat. Each of you,
He is a hero of Ming Dynasty."
At this time, a medical officer hurriedly came over and reported to Zhu Biao the treatment of the wounded: "Your Highness, most of the wounded are in stable condition, but a few are seriously injured and need to be sent back to the rear for treatment as soon as possible."
Zhu Biao nodded and ordered: "Arrange the carriage immediately to ensure that the wounded are properly taken care of during transportation. At the same time, notify the post stations along the way and be prepared to receive them."
The medical officer took the order and left, while Zhu Biao continued to patrol the camp to ensure that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
During his busy schedule, Zhu Biao summoned the main generals and sat around in a temporary command tent to discuss the next action plan.
"Generals," Zhu Biao's voice was calm and powerful, "Although we have won this battle, there are still more challenges waiting for us ahead. We must remain vigilant and not slack off at all."
General Li nodded in agreement: "What your Highness said is absolutely true. The terrain ahead is complex and changeable, and the enemy is good at using the terrain to set up ambushes. We must be more careful."
"That's true," Zhu Biao said after thinking for a moment, "Next, we need to strengthen our reconnaissance work to ensure a timely grasp of the enemy's situation. At the same time, we will adjust our marching route to avoid areas where the enemy may ambush."
Vice General Wang asked: "Your Highness, if we take a detour, will it delay the journey and affect the combat plan?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and looked firmly: "The marching speed is important, but the safety of the soldiers' lives is more critical. We would rather spend more time to ensure that every soldier can reach the destination safely."
Upon hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement. They knew that Zhu Biao was not only a brave general, but also a far-sighted leader who cared about the soldiers.
"In addition," Zhu Biao continued, "we need to strengthen our ties with local people and win their support and help. This will not only reduce our logistical burden, but also obtain valuable intelligence at critical moments."
Vice General Zhang made a suggestion: "Your Highness, we can send small groups of troops to go deep into the local area, establish contact with the people, and collect enemy information at the same time. This can not only ensure the safety of the large army, but also grasp the enemy's movements in a timely manner."
Zhu Biao nodded approvingly: "This is a very good plan. Lieutenant General Zhang, I will leave this matter to you to arrange. Make sure the operation is secretive and efficient."
