Liu Heju had heard that Commander Liao in the army made some unfavorable remarks when discussing matters in the tent. He was indeed a little worried.
As a military general, even if he was defeated, he was still fearless. This fearlessness of course refers to the scenes of real swords and guns in battle; but what really frightened Liu Heju was the invisible plot and hidden arrows behind his back. Looking back, he
He was really not very particular about things and was quite upright, so he offended Commander Liao. It was also because Commander Liao was self-righteous in his words. Liu Heju couldn't stand it at the time, and he also forgot that his position was several levels below him.
In fact, he contradicted him and called Commander Liao a mediocre person.
Unexpectedly, Commander Liao was so narrow-minded that he was so narrow-minded that he wanted to harm him secretly just because of his words. Liu Heju also understood the advantages of a high position, which gave him the opportunity to speak in front of the general; and he, Liu Heju, even participated in important events.
He is not qualified to attend a military meeting, and does not even have the opportunity to argue.
Just now, a friend who was a civilian in the army reminded him to read the passage about the death of Yang Xiu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so Liu Heju found the book and started looking for chapters about Yang Xiu in his account.
His mood was filled with fear and uneasiness. Panic came from ignorance. Liu Heju admitted that he did not know much about the overt and covert fighting in the officialdom and was not good at it, so he had no confidence and felt panic.
Fortunately, my friend recommended the Romance of the Three Kingdoms instead of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is called a popular romance, so it is naturally easier to read than classical Chinese history books such as the Three Kingdoms, and he only read Yang Xiu's chapters. If he was asked to read history as a martial artist, it would really be a good idea.
It's a bit difficult.
Although Liu Heju was literate, his literary talent was not high. He was at the same level as most generals, he was only literate and could only read military books; because in the military examination held by the Ministry of War, in addition to archery, horse riding and archery, the military examinations also required answering questions in military books.
If you are illiterate, it will be difficult to become an intermediate or above military commander.
As for things like the Fourth Class, Liu Heju rarely dabbled in it. However, he actually liked to make friends with literati, which was different from many generals. Except for the civilian friend who revealed the danger to him, Zhu Yong's aide Geng Huaiyuan and him
They also made some friends. Liu Heju felt that Geng Huaiyuan had real material, which could not be compared with those who rely on flattery to specialize in business. It was a pity that he died in the Miao army camp. After learning the bad news, Liu Heju also asked the sergeant to set up an incense table and bring wine.
To pay homage to Brother Geng, whom we had a close friendship with.
... After reading about the death of Yang Xiu, Liu Heju couldn't help but sigh. He had a lot of hair on his face, and the beard on his cheeks was very hard, and the hair stood on end as hard as his temper. Such a big man with a thick beard stayed up late at night.
While reading, I brushed the book with my hand and sighed, the scene was really inconsistent and panicked.
Mr. Liu Qian's feeling at this time was that it turns out that there are hidden mysteries in such ordinary books, and he regretted that he had read too little in the past.
Comparing what was described in the book, he secretly thought that he had also made a big mistake in front of Duke Cheng. At first, Liu Heju warned the rebels in front of Duke Cheng that their weapons were sharp and must be guarded against, but Zhu Yong didn't listen and was defeated.
Nowadays, some people are slandering me, saying that Liu is talking about this everywhere... So in Zhu Yong's opinion, Liu is gloating and complacent?
Damn it, you shouldn’t have mentioned that matter in front of people like Commander Liao after the war. You won’t lose a piece of meat by pretending to be stupid!
Liu Heju felt remorseful and worried at the same time, feeling that his death was not far away. Maybe he would die on the charge of disrupting the morale of the army by using something like "tasteless" to vent the anger of the Duke of the country?
This is very possible. I heard that Feng Youxian, the commander of the cavalry force Qian, has been arrested. In Liu Heju's impression, although Feng Youxian had less than a thousand men and horses, because his cavalry was elite, his position was at the commander level; this man was brave in battle.
Brother, he was arrested as soon as he said he was arrested. It was by no means a failure in fighting. No one wanted to say more about the mystery...Liu Heju didn't know much about it, but he felt that it was definitely not simple.
On the morning of the next day, the army convened a meeting with military generals of more than a thousand generals, and Liu Heju happened to be among them. All the generals in the tent spoke one after another to express their opinions. Only Liu Heju pretended to be deaf and mute, trying not to let others notice him. From a commander to an envoy
He even recognized it even after getting a job, but he didn't want to lose his head if he didn't know anything anymore.
It turned out that after a few days of rest, the Chinese army had decided to send troops to fight again. Many generals were inclined to wait for Tan Yousheng's Yuezhou soldiers to arrive to replenish their troops, but Tan Yousheng was procrastinating. The people who urged him came back and said that the water network near Dongting Lake was intertwined, and Tan Yousheng
There was a lack of navy and not enough ships, so the march was extremely slow. Zhu Yong felt that he had lost more than two thousand infantry, most of which escaped. The strength of the elite cavalry did not suffer much, and the infantry could also fight, so he was a little impatient...
...The main reason is that the enemy army only has a thousand men, and Zhu Yong can't let go of it no matter what.
In addition to waiting for Tan Yousheng's troops, other suggestions will definitely not work. For example, some people suggested mobilizing more troops from Changsha.
Because the military power Zhu Yong received before was limited to the troops in the various prefectures and guards on the west side of Dongting, he did not have the authority to mobilize the army in Changsha; if he wanted more people, he would have to write to the emperor for re-authorization, which would mean Gaodu
The battle is coming to an end, and the result of this period is the defeat of the army.
Zhu Yong wants to admit in court that he mobilized the troops of several prefectures, only to be defeated by a thousand thieves? This is absolutely impossible!
The emperor always thought highly of Zhu Yong. Back then, his father Zhu Neng, a tiger general, risked his own life in the "Battle of Jingnan" and led his cavalry into the infantry camp that was ten times his own in order to rescue the trapped Emperor Yongle. As a result, the battle ended.
Death on the battlefield, the Zhu Di family should never forget this merit and loyalty. And Zhu Yong did not disappoint the emperor. Although Zhu Yong once led the elite troops of Xuanda (Xuanfu Datong) to fight against the Mongolian cavalry, which did not go well, the Ming court gave up on Duo.
Yan Sanwei, it is a national policy to switch from offensive to defensive in the northern defense line, and it is not Zhu Yong's responsibility alone; when fighting the Vietnamese army in Jiaozhi, Zhu Yong failed to completely defeat the troops of "Pingding King" Le Li several times, and even suffered losses, but
The Ming army has been stuck in the quagmire of the Vietnam War for many years. It is also a national policy for the Manchu Dynasty to want to withdraw its troops!
Why was it that Yongle was able to open up new territories and conquer from all sides, but for a long time hundreds of thousands of troops on two fronts were at war at the same time, and then began to shrink the defense line as soon as Hongxi and Xuande arrived? Maybe this is the current of history, the melody of people's peace of mind, and
Not because of any one person.
In short, Zhu Yong is not only a member of the noble family in the court, he also has status based on his ability. He cannot admit that he is mediocre, let alone a loser!
"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!" Zhu Yong looked around angrily, "We are determined to die as punishment, and we will fight for our lives with our lives to completely eliminate the traitors of the imperial court in Gaodu County! From today on, anyone who retreats and runs away from the battle will be killed immediately.
Forgive me, I will never show mercy!"
Zhu Yong sat upright and said: "Looking at the firearms array of the bandit army, in addition to using artillery to bombard the array, our army does not have heavy artillery, and cavalry can also break the array. The opportunity is when the bandit army's camp is moving. Therefore, I discussed with my colleagues and decided on the next step.
Japan adopts the following combat strategy: use the cavalry to wait for the opportunity in the front; then use the infantry to attack the city from the north and east. There are few thieves and most of them will be deployed in the west city. The city will be poorly defended. I will use the infantry to besiege the city.
, will definitely pose a great threat to the rebel army. If the main force of the rebel army in the West City changes and intends to attack our siege troops from outside the city, the cavalry will be dispatched to defeat them; if the rebel army is afraid of our cavalry breaking the formation and stands still in the West City,
The sparse troops defending the city will not be able to defend it, and our army can take advantage of the situation to capture Gaodu City. The main force of the rebel army will become a lone army outside the city, surrounded by enemies on both sides, and with the threat of condescension on the city wall, it will inevitably be defeated."
"Soldiers who form an array behind the city will most likely abandon their field battles and enter the city to participate in the city's defense when the city is attacked." Someone said.
Zhu Yong said: "If the bandit army enters the city and sticks to the isolated city, it will become a trapped beast. Our army can build barracks outside the city. Since we have taken the initiative, we can surround it without attacking and wait for the Yuezhou soldiers to arrive."
As Zhu Yong said, siege warfare in this era was originally difficult to fight. Failure to capture the city does not mean defeat. If the enemy is forced to defend, the meaning will be completely different.
After deciding on the battle plan, Zhu Yong began to point out the generals on the spot and assign tasks to each department. He first assigned the generals of the cavalry, because the original commander Feng had been relieved of his military power and arrested; then he assigned the positions and tasks of the infantry units.
At this time, Zhu Yong actually called Liu Heju and ordered him to serve as the vanguard force to attack Beicheng. The established goal was that if the Beicheng defenders did not receive reinforcements, they must capture the North Gate as soon as possible.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing for a person who has been scolded as a defeated general to be appointed as a forward to attack the city? In many cases, although the forward is dangerous, it is very important. It is a good thing to be entrusted with important tasks. But at this time Liu Heju
I felt that it was not a good thing. Maybe if there was a slight mistake, Zhu Yong would catch him and kill him openly and openly.
Liu He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Zhu Yong just wanted to put himself to death. But what could he do? He could not disobey military orders, so he could only take one step at a time.
…
Zhang Ning's army did not celebrate just because of a victory. The civil and military officials and generals were still worried because everyone knew that although they won the battle, the main force of the army was not wiped out. Especially the strength of the cavalry was still there.
survival is a huge threat.
There were nearly a thousand cavalry in the official army and cavalry. Only a small number of men and horses were lost in the battle at Yuanshui River that day, which also caused casualties to Wei Bin's soldiers. However, the Suzaku Army officers below Wei Bin had performed very well, and the same number
The infantry and cavalry were fighting, and they were already at a disadvantage. Wei Bin was not defeated or even annihilated when the camp was divided. Even if he did not win, he should be praised.
The money and food needed to raise a cavalryman can almost feed a small banner of infantry. The government spent expensive resources to raise a cavalry unit. Its combat effectiveness is directly proportional to its investment, which is different from serf-like sergeants.
