Chapter 877: After winning consecutive battles, Zhu Han rushes to the border
After receiving the order, Vice General Zhang quickly assembled a capable reconnaissance team, preparing to go deep behind enemy lines and establish contact with local people. Before leaving, he specifically reported the detailed action plan to Zhu Biao and requested further instructions.
"Your Highness, we plan to divide the operation into three groups. Each group will have five people. They will go to different villages to contact the people there and at the same time explore the enemy's situation." Vice General Zhang said while showing the map, tapping his fingers on several key locations.
.
Zhu Biao looked at the map carefully, nodded slightly, and added: "Very good, but you must remember that safety comes first. When in contact with the people, you must remain humble and respectful, so that they can feel our sincerity and determination."
"General, I will understand that we will complete the mission with minimal noise and ensure that every team member can escape unharmed." Vice General Zhang responded firmly.
Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and patted Vice Admiral Zhang on the shoulder: "Go ahead and believe in your abilities. Remember, the information you bring back is crucial to us."
Vice General Zhang bowed, then led the team to disappear into the morning mist and began their secret mission.
As Vice General Zhang and his party left, the army continued on its journey. During the march, Zhu Biao communicated with the generals from time to time to understand the status of the soldiers, and at the same time, he was silently calculating the next strategic deployment in his mind.
One afternoon, the army passed through a dense forest and came to an open area. Just as everyone was taking a break, a scout hurried over and reported nervously: "Your Highness, there are traces of an unknown force ahead. There are quite a few people.
The equipment is different and does not seem to be our army."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned slightly and quickly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures. He stood on a high ground, looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and said solemnly: "This force came out of nowhere, we must deal with it carefully."
General Li asked: "Your Highness, who can this force be? Is it reinforcements from the enemy?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and looked deeply: "Not necessarily, the terrain here is complicated, it may be local armed forces or bandits from other forces. After passing the order, the entire army entered battle preparations, and at the same time dispatched scouts to further explore their identity and intentions."
Soon, the scout returned again, bringing more detailed information: "Your Highness, that force seems to be a temporary patchwork of multiple small forces. Among them are mountain people, deserters, and even a few enemy soldiers.
, the goal seems to be to rob passing business travelers and troops.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he was moved in his heart and said to the generals: "Although this force is mixed, it lacks unified command. This is a good opportunity for us to defeat them one by one. After passing the order, the whole army was divided into several small groups, led by capable generals, and encircled them.
The tactics of division must be used to catch them all in one go.”
Upon hearing this, the generals nodded, their eyes flashing with fighting spirit and determination. They quickly followed Zhu Biao's instructions and divided the army into several elite squads, each led by an experienced general, preparing to implement encirclement and division tactics against the mixed forces.
Zhu Biao stood on the high ground, looking at the troops who were ready to go, with a calm and powerful voice: "Generals, although this battle is not a frontal battlefield, it is also related to the majesty of our Ming Dynasty and the safety of our soldiers. We must be careful and cautious, not only to show the majesty of our Ming Dynasty's army,
, and we must ensure the safety of every soldier."
Vice General Zhang stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will fulfill our mission and ensure that we complete the mission!"
"Okay!" Zhu Biao nodded approvingly, "The operation has begun. Report the battle situation at any time."
Following Zhu Biao's order, each team quickly took action, rushing towards the mixed forces like an arrow from a string. Zhu Biao stayed at a high place, keeping in touch with all parties through messengers, and paying close attention to changes in the battle situation.
Soon, the first team encountered the enemy, and a fierce battle broke out instantly. Vice General Zhang's voice came through the messenger, slightly urgent but extremely firm: "Reporting to your highness, we have exchanged fire with the enemy. Although the opponent's number is large, but
The organization is loose and is being gradually divided and surrounded by our side."
After Zhu Biao heard this, he felt relieved and replied in a deep voice: "Continue to maintain a high-pressure posture. We must annihilate all enemies and not let any one go."
As the battle continued, each team received good news one after another, and the mixed forces gradually collapsed under the precise strikes of the Ming army. Zhu Biao stood on the high ground, receiving the battle report from the front through the messenger, with satisfaction on his face
smile.
"Pass the order, each team must ensure that the battle is completely ended without leaving any further trouble." Zhu Biao ordered in a deep voice, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.
The messenger quickly conveyed the order to each team, and the battle quickly entered the final stage. The soldiers' morale was high. As long as they persisted for a while, they could completely eliminate this threat and add another guarantee to the tranquility of the Ming Dynasty's border.
Soon, Vice General Zhang came to report in person: "Your Highness, all enemies have been annihilated and no one has escaped. Our casualties are minor and have been properly dealt with."
Zhu Biao nodded and cast an approving look at Vice General Zhang: "Well done, Vice General Zhang. You have done a great job in this battle, and you will be rewarded for your merits when you return to the capital."
Vice General Zhang lowered his head humbly: "I don't dare to take the credit, it's all the result of His Highness's command and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for victory."
"Generals, although this battle is small, it is of great significance." Zhu Biao's voice was steady and powerful. "It not only tested our combat effectiveness, but also showed us the power of unity and courage to fight. The next journey may be more difficult.
As long as we maintain this spirit, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
The generals nodded in agreement, their eyes shining with determination. "Next, we must continue to strengthen reconnaissance work to ensure timely grasp of the enemy's situation." Zhu Biao continued, "At the same time, we must also pay attention to communicating with the local people.
Contact us and win their support. This will not only reduce our logistical burden, but also obtain valuable intelligence at critical moments."
The generals expressed that they would strictly follow His Highness's instructions to ensure the safety and smooth progress of the army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As time went by, the army finally arrived at an important stronghold in the border area. The terrain here is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is one of the important lines of defense for the enemy. Zhubiao Station
Looking at the enemy camp in front of him from the high ground, his eyes flashed with determination.
"Send the order, and the entire army will be ready for battle." Zhu Biao ordered in a deep voice, "We must take this stronghold as quickly as possible and at the lowest cost."
As Zhu Biao's orders resounded throughout the sky, the intensity of the battle between the two armies instantly reached its peak. On the battlefield, arrows were like dense raindrops, piercing the sky and hitting the enemy camp with a harsh whistling sound. While the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty
With an indestructible will, he brandished the weapon in his hand and started a close combat with the enemy.
"Stay strong, don't panic!" Vice General Wang's voice echoed in the right wing troops. He was holding a spear and leading the way. Every thrust was accurate and powerful, hitting the enemy's vital points. The soldiers around him were inspired and had high morale.
Zhen, follow his pace and move forward step by step.
At the same time, General Lee on the left led his troops to shuttle flexibly between the hills. They took advantage of the terrain to effectively harass and contain the enemy. "Brothers, work harder, our target is their rear."
!" General Li shouted loudly, with unquestionable majesty and determination in his voice, inspiring every soldier to move forward bravely.
Under attack from two sides, the enemy's formation began to become chaotic. Upon seeing this, their commander hurriedly shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army: "Stay steady, don't panic! Gather your defenses and prepare to counterattack!" However, the Ming army's offensive was like a tide.
It surged forward so violently that they were unable to organize effective resistance.
At this moment, an enemy general broke through the siege and came straight to Zhu Biao. Apparently he wanted to capture the thief first and capture the king first!
"Protect Your Highness!" Upon seeing this, a general stepped forward without hesitation and blocked the enemy general's path with his sword. The two men instantly fell into a fierce battle, the light of their swords flashed, and the sound of gold and iron clashing could be heard endlessly.
"Well done!" Zhu Biao couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw this. He raised the flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "For the Ming Dynasty and for victory, charge forward!"
Encouraged by Zhu Biao, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. Like tigers descending from the mountain, they launched a final charge against the enemy. After a fierce battle, the enemy finally collapsed, abandoned their helmets and armor, and fled in all directions. The Ming army
Take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the remaining enemy troops one by one.
"Your Highness, we did it!" A soldier covered in blood but still smiling walked up to Zhu Biao and said excitedly, "For the Ming Dynasty, all this is worth it!"
Zhu Biao held his hand tightly, with tears in his eyes: "Yes, you did it! It is everyone's courage and persistence that allows us to stand here and watch this land belong to us again. Everyone
The soldiers who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty will all be remembered in history."
At this time, General Li and Vice General Wang also came forward, their faces also full of exhaustion and pride. "Your Highness, what should we do next?" General Li asked.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath and looked firmly: "We must not only defend this stronghold, but also use it as a springboard to continue advancing deeper into the enemy. We must completely break their defense line and let the enemy know that the Ming army is invincible!"
"
When Vice General Wang heard this, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Okay! I can't wait for a long time to have a big fight! Brothers, don't you think so?!"
The surrounding soldiers responded one after another with high morale: "Yes! I will follow His Highness to the death and open up territory for the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. He turned to Vice General Zhang and said, "Vice General Zhang, please immediately organize manpower to clear the battlefield, treat the wounded, and at the same time strengthen the defenses of the stronghold to ensure the stability of our rear."
"General, take your orders!" Vice General Zhang responded and quickly organized the soldiers to take action.
After Zhu Han learned about the severe situation of the war in the border areas, he felt worried. So he decided to ask His Majesty for orders and go to the border areas in person to help the prince.
Early the next morning, Zhu Han dressed in court clothes and walked firmly into the palace to meet His Majesty. In the imperial study, His Majesty was lowering his head to review the memorial. When he saw Zhu Han arriving, he put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and asked, "Brother Han, here you are.
What's the matter?"
Zhu Han bowed and saluted, and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, I heard that the war in the border areas is tense, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is leading the troops alone. I am very worried. Although the Crown Prince is brave, the situation in the border areas is complicated and changeable. I petition you to go to the border areas in person to help.
The prince lends a helping hand."
Upon hearing this, His Majesty frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Brother Han, you are an important minister in the court and busy with government affairs. There are generals who will handle border wars. Why do you need to personally take risks?"
Zhu Han raised his head with a firm gaze: "Your Majesty, although I am not a military commander, I have been in politics for many years and have an understanding of the situation on the border. More importantly, I am willing to share your worries and burdens for His Majesty. The affairs of the border are of great concern.
How can I sit back and ignore the situation when our country is in danger?"
His Majesty looked at Zhu Han's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He was well aware of Zhu Han's loyalty and responsibility, and also understood his influence in the court. After a moment, His Majesty nodded slowly: "Brother Han,
I already know your intentions. Going to the border can indeed stabilize the morale of the army and help the prince. But remember, you must take care of yourself and come back safely."
On the way to the frontier, Zhu Han and the accompanying confidants rode in a carriage. The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn and full of strategic discussions. Zhu Han sat in the main seat, his eyes were like a torch, and he stared at the scenery passing by outside the window from time to time, but in his heart
Blueprints for battlefield layouts have already been drawn up.
"Counsel Li, you are most familiar with the terrain of the frontier. In your opinion, how should our army's marching route be adjusted to avoid areas where the enemy may ambush?" Zhu Han's voice was steady and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.
When Li's staff heard this, he quickly and respectfully replied: "Sir Han is wise, and based on my humble opinion, we should detour to the foot of Nanshan Mountain. The terrain there is steep, making it difficult for the enemy to ambush, and the journey can be shortened. However, the mountain road is rugged, so we need to be more careful."
"
Zhu Han nodded slightly and agreed: "Well, this plan is very clever. Send the order, the whole army will change its route to Nanshan, and be careful to ensure the safety of the march."
At this time, another staff member, Mr. Zhang, interjected: "Master Han, we also need to consider the issue of food and grass supplies. The journey is long and there are few villages along the way, so it may be difficult to raise enough supplies."
Zhu Han frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he made a decisive decision: "Immediately send a message to the rear, asking the rear to step up preparations for food and grass. At the same time, a small group of troops will be sent to explore the situation along the way and look for possible supply points. We must ensure that the food route is unimpeded."
"
As the carriage moved forward, night fell quietly. Zhu Han ordered his people to camp and rest in a relatively safe open area. Beside the campfire, he summoned the generals to sit in a circle and continue to discuss the war.
"Generals, tomorrow we will pass through a dense forest, which is a traditional ambush area for the enemy. We must be vigilant and fully prepared." Zhu Han's voice was particularly clear and powerful in the night. A brave general, General Zhao
He stood up, clasped his fists and begged for orders: "Don't worry, Sir Han, General Mo is willing to lead a team of elites to explore the road first to ensure the safe passage of the army."
