Chapter 903: Leave no one behind! In-depth pursuit!
After saying this, the enemy general suddenly exerted his force, and the spear brought up a strong wind, and it was directed towards Vice General Li's face. Vice General Li dodged and easily dodged, and at the same time he thought to himself: Although this person is very powerful, there are still some flaws in his moves.
Flaws can be found.
While the two men were fighting fiercely, a messenger hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Vice General Li, the prince has an order to capture the enemy general alive!"
When Lieutenant General Li heard this, his heart trembled, and he knew that time was running out. He quickly adjusted his strategy and no longer just attacked by force, but began to look for opportunities to lure the enemy deeper.
"You want to capture me alive? You are not qualified yet!" the enemy general sneered, and the offensive became more fierce. However, he did not realize that he had gradually fallen into Lieutenant General Li's trap.
At this moment, Lieutenant General Li deliberately exposed a flaw to induce the enemy general to strike with all his strength. Just as the enemy general was about to stab him with his spear, Lieutenant General Li retreated violently and shouted loudly: "Let go of the net!
"
When the light cavalry who had been ambushing around heard this, they quickly untied the rope net prepared in advance from their horses and threw it together. The net covered the enemy general like a dragnet, instantly trapping him in it.
"What!" the enemy general exclaimed and struggled hard, but the net was extremely tough and was pulled by many light cavalry, making it difficult to break free for a while.
"The general has been captured!" Lieutenant General Li announced loudly, but he did not dare to slack off in his heart. Only when the enemy general is brought back to the camp can this battle be completely over.
At the same time, Zhu Han paid close attention to every movement on the battlefield on the high ground. When he saw that Lieutenant General Li had successfully captured the enemy general, he felt slightly relieved, but then he frowned.
"General Zhang, clear the battlefield quickly to ensure that no enemy troops escape." Zhu Han ordered in a deep voice, and at the same time glanced around, alert to possible changes.
General Zhang accepted the order and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order and quickly clears the battlefield and searches for the remaining enemy without any mistakes!" After saying this, he personally led the elite soldiers into the enemy's formation and started a fierce battle with the remaining enemy forces.
On the battlefield, there were shouts of killing and the sound of weapons clashing one after another. The Ming army officers and soldiers had high morale and fought bravely against the enemy. Soon after, the enemy troops on the battlefield were finally completely cleared.
Seeing this, Zhu Han felt a surge of pride and ambition in his heart. He slowly walked down the high ground and went to the center of the battlefield in person to check the results of the battle.
"Your Majesty, the enemy general has been captured." Vice General Li stepped forward to report and at the same time escorted the enemy general in the rope net to Zhu Han.
Zhu Han nodded slightly and looked at the enemy general with piercing eyes. Seeing that although this man was captured, he still had an unyielding look in his eyes, he couldn't help but secretly admire his courage.
"What's your name?" Zhu Han asked in a deep voice.
"Hmph, just kill him if you want, why bother asking." The enemy general snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to reveal his name.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and did not care about his attitude. "Although you are an enemy general, your courage is commendable. If you are willing to surrender, I can protect you from death and entrust you with important tasks."
When the enemy general heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He never expected that Zhu Han would offer his surrender so generously. However, he quickly regained his composure, shook his head and refused: "I am Dayuan
How can a loyal minister betray the king? Kill him if you want, and stop talking nonsense!"
When Zhu Han heard this, he admired this man's loyalty even more. He nodded slowly and signaled his guards to take away the enemy general and imprison him. At the same time, he loudly announced: "The whole army will listen to the order and immediately clean the battlefield, treat the wounded, and properly
Place the prisoners."
It was late at night, and the cold wind from the frontier, with its biting chill, gently blew through the camp tent, making a rustling sound. However, Zhu Han seemed not to notice that his thoughts had drifted into the distance.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest." A guard reminded him softly, breaking the tranquility around him.
Zhu Han came back to his senses, nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the camp. Inside the tent, the candlelight flickered, warm and dim, in sharp contrast to the cold outside. He sat in front of the case, spread out the map, and began to study the border information carefully.
The geographical situation and the layout of both the enemy and ourselves.
"General Zhang, Vice General Li, and Zhao Shenjun, please come to see me early tomorrow morning." Zhu Han ordered the attendant beside him. The attendant stepped back in response, preparing to convey the order.
In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the frontier land, Zhu Han was already sitting in the camp with several generals, discussing the next action plan.
"General Zhang, although our army has won a complete victory, the enemy's main force is still there, so we should not take it lightly." Zhu Han looked directly at General Zhang and said, "I intend to continue the pursuit. We must completely eliminate the enemy's effective forces and secure the border."
peaceful."
Upon hearing this, General Zhang stood up and accepted the order with his hands raised: "General, I accept your order! I am willing to lead my troops to continue the pursuit until the enemy's army is completely wiped out."
"Vice General Li, you need to lead the light cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy's situation along the way to ensure that our army's actions are safe." Zhu Han said to Vice General Li again.
Lieutenant General Li nodded in agreement, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "General, I will live up to the prince's trust and will complete the mission to the death."
Zhao Shenjun silently recorded the results of everyone's discussions and put forward his own opinions and suggestions from time to time.
"In addition, we must strengthen contact with local officials and people to ensure that supply lines are unobstructed." Zhu Han added, "Zhao Canjun, you are responsible for coordinating with the Ministry of Household Affairs to ensure that grain and grass can be delivered to the border in time."
Zhao Shenjun took the order and left, secretly thinking about how to complete this task efficiently.
After Zhao Shenjun left in a hurry, Zhu Han continued to discuss the war situation with the generals.
"Your Majesty, although the enemy army has been defeated, there are still remnants of it, and we are afraid of its resurgence." General Zhang frowned, his tone revealing his concern for the outcome of the subsequent battle.
Zhu Han nodded in agreement and looked deeply at the map: "What General Zhang said is absolutely true. We must pursue the victory and not give the enemy any breathing space. At the same time, we must strengthen intelligence collection to ensure that we are fully aware of the enemy's movements."
At this time, Lieutenant General Li took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the light cavalry and continue deep into the enemy's rear to detect the enemy's movements and provide accurate intelligence to the army."
When Zhu Han heard this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "Vice-General Li is extremely brave and resourceful. This job belongs to you. But remember, you must be careful to ensure safety."
Vice General Li received the order and was about to retreat when Zhu Han stopped him again: "In addition, you need to pay attention to whether the enemy intends to unite with other forces to jointly fight against our army. Once you find any clues, report them immediately."
Lieutenant General Li nodded in agreement, turned around and left, preparing to set off immediately. Calmness returned to the camp again, but a tense and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
Zhu Han stood up, walked to the map, and lightly traced every inch of land on the border with his fingers, silently calculating the next step in his mind.
"Zhao Canjun," Zhu Han turned around and said to Zhao Canjun who was standing aside, "immediately write a letter and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the important ministers of the battle about the battle situation, asking them to continue to raise food, grass and supplies to ensure that our army's logistics are worry-free."
Zhao Shenjun received the order and was about to retreat when Zhu Han stopped him again: "Also, you need to pay close attention to the movements in the DPRK, especially the movements on Zhu Di's side. Once any news that is not conducive to our army comes out, immediately
Give back.”
Zhao Shenjun bowed down to accept the order, with a firm light in his eyes: "General, I will definitely live up to the prince's trust and ensure the unimpeded flow of information."
After Zhao Canjun retreated, Zhu Han turned to General Zhang and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, in the next pursuit, the enemy may be more cunning. We must always beware of their ambush and counterattack. I mean, you can lead the elite
As the vanguard, the troops must maintain a high degree of vigilance. Once they encounter an ambush, they must retreat immediately and notify the following troops."
General Zhang nodded and said in a loud voice: "General, take your orders! Don't worry, Your Majesty, General Zhang will act with caution and not give any opportunity to the enemy."
At this time, a messenger hurriedly walked into the camp, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. Signs of small-scale enemy troops have been found in the southern border area. They seem to be trying to fight our guerrilla operations."
Zhu Han frowned and quickly analyzed the battle situation: "The enemy in the south has an obvious intention. They want to contain the main force of our army and create obstacles for our army to pursue. Send the order and order Vice General Li to lead a group of light cavalry to quickly go to the south to destroy this group.
Join the enemy's army and relieve your worries."
When Lieutenant General Li heard the voice, a trace of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes, and he handed over his hands to receive the order: "General, take the order and set off immediately!"
Zhu Han nodded, his eyes revealing trust and expectation: "Vice-General Li is both wise and brave, and this trip will be a success. But remember, you must ensure your own safety and do not underestimate the enemy."
Vice General Li took the order and left, and the camp fell into a brief silence again. Zhu Han knew very well that every next step must be done carefully and not be careless in the slightest.
"Your Majesty," General Zhang pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly, "Our army has been fighting continuously, and the soldiers have become exhausted. Should we send some troops back to the camp to rest and recuperate to restore combat effectiveness?"
Zhu Han nodded slightly and looked deeply: "What General Zhang said is absolutely true. The physical strength of the soldiers is as important as the morale. Pass the order and let General Wang lead a force back to the camp to rest and strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent the enemy from sneak attack.
At the same time, some food and grass supplies will be allocated to ensure that the resting troops are adequately supplied."
General Zhang accepted the order and secretly admired Zhu Han's foresight. He turned around and told the messenger: "Go quickly to convey the prince's order without making any mistakes."
The ordering soldiers retreated in response, and calm returned to the camp again.
Zhu Han stood in front of the map, staring at the vast land on the border, silently calculating every next move in his heart.
Soon, the light cavalry led by Lieutenant General Li received good news. The enemy forces in the south had been completely wiped out, and no one had escaped.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han showed a smile of relief on his face and said to the attendant beside him: "Quickly spread the news of the victory to the whole army to boost morale."
The attendants took the order and left, and the cheers of the soldiers sounded again in the camp.
He turned to General Zhang and said: "General Zhang, our army's morale is at its peak. This is a great opportunity to pursue the enemy. You immediately lead the army to pursue the enemy along their retreat route and be sure to completely annihilate them."
General Zhang accepted the order with his hands raised and his voice firm: "General, take the order! The entire army will obey the order and set out immediately to pursue the enemy and annihilate them all!"
Following General Zhang's order, the Ming army's morale was high and they were ready to go, preparing to continue pursuing the enemy along the retreat route. Zhu Han stood on the high platform, looking at the soldiers in uniform, and his heart was full of pride and joy.
"Your Majesty, our army's morale is high and we will definitely win this battle." General Zhang rode his horse to Zhu Han's side, his voice filled with determination and confidence.
Zhu Han nodded, with a deep look in his eyes: "General Zhang, although we have won this battle, we must not be careless. If the enemy retreats, they will definitely look for opportunities to counterattack. We need to plan step by step to ensure nothing goes wrong."
General Zhang accepted the order with his hand in hand: "General, I understand that I must act with caution and live up to the high expectations of the prince."
At this time, Vice General Li also rode forward, with a bit of excitement in his expression: "Your Majesty, all the enemy forces in the south have been wiped out, and there are no casualties in our army. Next, the last general is willing to lead the light cavalry to clear the way for the army and explore the enemy situation ahead.
.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly and praised: "Vice-General Li is brave and courageous, and you must be the one to take this position. But remember, safety comes first, and you must act with caution."
Vice General Li took the order and left, then led the light cavalry to set off first to clear the way for the army. Zhu Han and General Zhang rode side by side and continued to discuss the next strategic deployment.
"Your Majesty, in this pursuit, our army needs to be prepared for the enemy to set up an ambush." General Zhang said solemnly, scanning the surrounding terrain. "The general suggested that we divide our troops into two groups, one to pursue them head-on to attract the enemy's attention, and the other to take a detour.
Enemy flanks, looking for fighter planes to attack."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement: "General Zhang's plan is very clever. Send the order and act according to this plan. At the same time, strengthen the scouts and reconnaissance to ensure that the intelligence is accurate."
General Zhang received the order and immediately ordered the entire army to launch a pursuit in accordance with the established plan. The Ming army officers and soldiers were highly motivated and advanced rapidly in two directions. They were overwhelming all the way, approaching the enemy's retreat route.
Soon, news came from the scouts that the enemy army had set up an ambush in the valley ahead, intending to ambush the pursuing Ming army. When Zhu Han heard the news, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "The enemy army is indeed cunning, but in front of our Ming cavalry, all their tricks are in vain.
"
He immediately adjusted his deployment, ordered the troops pursuing frontally to slow down, and deliberately exposed flaws to lure the enemy to attack. At the same time, he personally led the elite cavalry to bypass the enemy's flank and prepare to launch a surprise attack.
In the valley, when the enemy troops saw that the Ming army had fallen into the trap, they rushed out of their hiding places with shouts of killing that shook the earth. However, just when they thought they had a chance to win, the elite cavalry led by Zhu Han descended like divine soldiers from the sky and attacked from the flanks.
came and instantly disrupted the enemy's position.
"My lord is mighty!" Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army were greatly boosted in morale, and they shouted and rushed towards the enemy. Under attack from two sides, the enemy's army quickly collapsed and fled in all directions.
Zhu Han held a spear and took the lead, shuttled between the battle formations, and each shot accurately hit the enemy's vital points. His bravery inspired every soldier, and the Ming army's morale was like a rainbow. They pursued all the way until the enemy was defeated.
Total annihilation.
As the enemy troops in the valley were annihilated one by one, the battlefield gradually returned to calm. Zhu Han stood on a high place, looking at the enemy corpses on the ground, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes. This victory was hard-won, and every corpse
Behind the fallen body is the brokenness and sorrow of a family.
