Chapter 878: The two armies join forces and conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines
Zhu Han nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, General Zhao is so brave that this trip will be successful. But remember, safety comes first and don't underestimate the enemy."
Later, Zhu Han had an in-depth exchange with several generals on specific tactical arrangements. Everyone's face was full of firmness and determination. As the night went on, the discussion did not diminish, until the sky turned white, and everyone
The talents dispersed to rest.
As the army penetrated deeper into the border, the scenery along the way gradually changed from bustling plains to desolate mountains. The soldiers walked on the rugged mountain road, and every step seemed extremely difficult, but their eyes revealed unyielding and determination.
One afternoon, the team was passing through a dense forest. The sunlight could barely penetrate the dense canopy and shone dappledly on the ground. Zhu Han rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, looking back from time to time to observe the status of the soldiers to make sure that no one was there.
Fall behind.
"Everyone, hold on. If you pass through this forest, there will be water in front of you." Zhu Han's voice clearly reached the ears of every soldier through the noisy environment, giving them the strength to persist.
At this time, a scout hurried over and reported nervously: "Sir, a small group of enemy troops have been found ahead, ambushing at the exit, and they seem to be intending to intercept our army."
When Zhu Han heard this, his brows furrowed, but he quickly regained his composure. "Send the order, and the entire army will stop advancing and stay hidden. At the same time, send two teams of elite troops to go around the enemy's rear to form an encirclement."
The soldiers took action quickly and dispersed according to Zhu Han's instructions. Some used trees as cover, while others quietly moved toward the enemy's rear. Zhu Han personally led a group of soldiers and slowly approached the enemy from the front.
Army ambush circle.
"Remember, our goal is to deal with them quietly and try not to make too much noise so as not to alert the enemy troops further away." Zhu Han whispered to the general beside him.
The general nodded in agreement, and then led the soldiers to advance cautiously. Soon, they encountered the enemy. But just as Zhu Han expected, the enemy did not notice their arrival at all, until the first cry of kill was heard.
Only then did the enemy respond in panic.
After a fierce battle, the enemy army was finally completely defeated. Zhu Han stood on the battlefield, 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 and treat the wounded." Zhu Han ordered in a deep voice, and the soldiers took action quickly. Some were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, while others were busy treating their injured companions. Zhu Han personally walked to the wounded and asked about their injuries.
, give them encouragement and comfort.
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Han's voice was gentle and powerful, "but our task is not completed yet. Let's move on."
As Zhu Han successfully defeated the small enemy force and stabilized the situation, his team continued to advance until it met Zhu Biao's army. When the two teams met at the predetermined rendezvous point, there was an uneasy feeling in the air.
The excitement and joy of speech.
Zhu Han led a group of elite soldiers and took the lead in entering the camp of Zhu Biao's army. Under the sun, Zhu Biao's flag sounded in the wind, and the soldiers lined up neatly and in high spirits. Zhu Han got off his horse and strode towards Zhu Biao.
There was a smile of victory on his face.
"Biao'er, we finally meet!" Zhu Han's voice was filled with excitement and relief. He quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Zhu Biao tightly.
Zhu Biao was also full of joy, with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Emperor, you are finally here! The situation on the border is complex and ever-changing. With you here, I feel much more at ease."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. There was no need to say anything. The deep uncle-nephew friendship was unspoken. When the soldiers around them saw this, they also cast their eyes with admiration and envy.
"Uncle Emperor, you've had a hard journey along the way." Zhu Biao asked with concern, his eyes scanning Zhu Han's slightly tired face.
Zhu Han waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as I can contribute to the peace of the border, it's worth it no matter how hard it is. But for you, Biao'er, has your journey been smooth?"
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, but there was still a trace of worry in his eyebrows: "The war on the border is indeed complicated and changeable, but fortunately the soldiers worked hard and we overcame many difficulties along the way and finally stabilized the situation. However, the next battle may be even more difficult.
"
When Zhu Han heard this, his expression became solemn: "Yes, border affairs cannot be accomplished in a day. But as long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. Please tell me the details of the battle, and we will discuss countermeasures together."
So, Zhu Biao recounted his experiences along the way in detail, including several encounters with the enemy, the heroic performance of the soldiers, and the various challenges they faced. Zhu Han listened very carefully, nodded in agreement from time to time, and put forward
own opinions and suggestions.
"What your uncle said is absolutely true. We need your wisdom and experience to guide the direction." Zhu Biao said gratefully.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Biao'er, you are overestimating me. I am just doing my best to share your worries and solve your problems. The next battle requires you and me to fight side by side and deal with it together."
Zhu Han stood at a high place, watching all this with deep eyes, feeling both relieved and worried in his heart.
"Uncle Emperor," Zhu Biao walked to Zhu Han and said softly, "it seems that the morale of the soldiers is very high, and we are confident to handle the coming battle."
Zhu Han nodded, but his brows were still furrowed. "Biao'er, victory is hard-won, and we must not take it lightly. In the borderlands, the situation is changing rapidly, and we must always remain vigilant."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his expression became solemn. "What the emperor said is absolutely true. I will remind the soldiers to stay on guard and not to relax in the slightest."
At this time, a scout hurried over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Highness, Prince Han, we have discovered a suspicious group of people outside the stronghold, approaching this way."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, and their hearts tightened. Zhu Han immediately ordered: "Send the order, and the entire army will enter a battle preparation state. At the same time, a small team will be sent to investigate, and the identity and intentions of the opponent must be clear.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The scout took the order and returned soon with the investigation results. "Reporting to Your Highness, Prince Han, that group of people is not the enemy, but the people of the nearby villages. They
It seems like there is something to say."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao exchanged glances. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they decided to meet these people in person. The two of them led several personal guards through the camp and arrived outside the stronghold.
I saw a group of ragged people standing not far away, their eyes full of expectation and fear. A seemingly elderly man came forward, knelt down tremblingly, and choked with sobs: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, we heard
The Ming army is stationed here and has come to ask for help."
Zhu Han quickly stepped forward to help the old man up and asked warmly: "Old man, what difficulties have you encountered? Anyway, we will try our best to help."
The old man burst into tears with gratitude and said in a trembling voice: "In recent years, wars have continued on the border, and our villages have been robbed repeatedly. Now the fields are deserted, food is in short supply, and many families have no food to eat. We are really desperate and can only come to the court for help."
When Zhu Han heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow in his heart. He turned to look at Zhu Biao, his eyes full of determination: "Biao'er, we must take immediate action to help these people tide over the difficulties."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, uncle, I will immediately arrange relief matters to ensure that these people can receive timely assistance."
Therefore, Zhu Biao quickly summoned the officials in charge of logistics and arranged the relief work in detail. He ordered the soldiers to separate some food and materials from the spoils and distribute them to the hungry people. At the same time, he also arranged a small team to escort the people
Return to the village and ensure their safety on the road.
Seeing the people leaving with tears of gratitude, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao felt a little comfort in their hearts.
"Uncle Emperor," Zhu Biao said softly, "the situation on the border is far more complicated than we imagined."
Zhu Han nodded deeply, his eyes revealing his worry and determination about the situation on the border. "Biao'er, border affairs have always been complicated and changeable, and cannot be accomplished overnight. But as members of the royal family, we should respect the country and the country.
As a matter of priority, we will do our best to protect the people."
He turned around and ordered to the general beside him: "Immediately strengthen patrols to ensure safety around the camp. At the same time, send envoys to surrounding villages to understand the people's situation, collect information, and provide a basis for subsequent decisions."
The generals took the order and left, while Zhu Han and Zhu Biao returned to the camp to continue discussing the next strategy. In the camp, candlelight flickered, and their figures looked particularly dignified in the dim light.
"Uncle Emperor," Zhu Biao said worriedly, "the border wars are ongoing. Although our army has achieved some victories, the enemy's forces are still strong and reinforcements are constantly coming in. I am worried that if this continues, our army may not be able to sustain it."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "Biao'er, your worries are not unreasonable. But war is not only a contest of force, but also a contest of wisdom and will. We must find the enemy's weakness and kill it with one strike."
He paused and continued: "I remember you mentioned that there are factional disputes within the enemy's army. This may be the key to our breakthrough. We can use this to divide and disintegrate the enemy's army and reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield."
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he nodded: "What the emperor said is absolutely true. I will immediately arrange my manpower to go deep into the enemy's interior to look for people who can instigate rebellion."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject: "However, while dividing the enemy's forces, we cannot ignore our own construction. We must strengthen the training of the army, improve its combat effectiveness, and ensure that it can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy's forces at critical moments.
"
He looked at Zhu Biao with a bit of sternness in his tone: "Biao'er, as the coach of this border trip, you must not only pay attention to the battle situation, but also pay attention to the military morale of the soldiers. Only in this way can we be invincible.
land."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao looked stern and nodded solemnly: "What the emperor taught me is that I will definitely live up to the expectations of my father and uncle."
Seeing Zhu Biao's firm look, Zhu Han felt slightly relieved, but his face remained serious. "Biao'er, border wars are no small matter, and you need to be cautious at every step. You must not only pay attention to the tactical layout, but also have a deep understanding of the soldiers' mentality.
, they are the cornerstone of this war."
Zhu Biao nodded and thought for a moment before saying: "What the emperor said is true. I will pay more attention to the soldiers' emotions and needs to ensure that they are focused on the battle. At the same time, I will also strengthen communication with the generals to ensure the command system.
It’s smooth.”
Zhu Han nodded slightly, with a trace of approval in his eyes: "Very good, Biao'er, you are growing up very fast. Remember, as the coach, every decision you make affects the life and death of thousands of soldiers, and is also related to the future of the country.
.Therefore, be sure to think carefully and not act rashly.”
At this time, a deputy general hurriedly walked into the camp with a slightly nervous look on his face: "Your Highness, Prince Han, we have just received an urgent report from spies. The enemy seems to be making some moves and is secretly gathering troops with unknown intentions."
Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, a trace of solemnity flashed in their eyes. Zhu Han quickly asked: "Have the spies told me the specific movements of the enemy troops?"
The lieutenant general replied: "The spies only know that the enemy troops are secretly gathering somewhere on the border, but the specific intentions and attack targets are not clear yet. However, they seem to be well prepared and have a large number of people."
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, then turned to Zhu Biao and said: "Biao'er, it seems that the enemy does not intend to sit still and wait for death. We must make preparations in advance to prevent unexpected events."
Zhu Biao nodded, with perseverance shining in his eyes: "Don't worry, uncle, I will immediately summon the generals to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time strengthen patrols to ensure the safety of the camp."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement and added: "In addition to strengthening our defense, we also need to take the initiative to find out the enemy's true intentions. Biao'er, you personally lead an elite team and sneak into the enemy's rear for reconnaissance. Be careful."
Zhu Biao accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Zhu Han: "Biao'er, this trip is extremely dangerous, so you must ensure safety. Remember, your safety is related to the overall situation and cannot be ignored."
Zhu Biao stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Zhu Han: "Uncle, don't worry, I will act with caution. When I return, I will discuss with your uncle a plan to defeat the enemy."
After saying that, Zhu Biao quickly summoned the generals, arranged the reconnaissance mission, and personally selected an elite team to prepare for a night attack on the enemy camp. In the camp, Zhu Han looked at Zhu Biao's leaving back, his eyes full of expectations and worries.
At the same time, the enemy camp was also busy. In the commander's camp, the enemy generals were sitting around to discuss countermeasures. A middle-aged general with a stern face said in a deep voice: "Although the Ming army is brave, they must fight for days.
We are exhausted. We can take this opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop."
Another general agreed: "Yes, and we have found out that the Ming army is divided into two places. This is the perfect opportunity for us to counterattack."
The coach nodded, with a fierce light shining in his eyes: "Okay, send the order immediately, and the whole army is ready to go. At midnight tonight, we will launch a surprise attack. We must decide the outcome in one battle." While Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were heading to the border, Zhu Di,
Making full use of the Jinyiwei intelligence agency, they secretly carried out surveillance and infiltration of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
