I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 268 Secret Weapon
"Put Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing under my custody, slaughter pigs and goats, hold a big feast, and let them die drunk."

"When I conquer Xi'an Mansion, grab a few popular singers and force them to marry each other!"

With Mao Yuanyi's order, Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing were escorted to a cottage hall.

Big pieces of meat, big bowls of wine.

In addition, dozens of veterans were arranged to perform a few Nuo face dances with bare arms, fighting and killing, chattering, and the atmosphere was quickly pushed to a climax...

……

Three thousand miles away, in the Laohekou area.

Ten thousand Jiannu cavalry set up seven or eight large camps, forming horns with each other, and built high stone and wood fortifications, as if they were stationed for a long time and would never die. Cao Wenzhao was overjoyed when he got the news.

[-] cavalry, divided into several brigades, did not flee far after wantonly destroying the railway, and that was enough.

Isn't it just restraint?

Alright, I will take the initiative to bite your hook, otherwise you will flee far away, and I will not let you fish out of the water.

It happens to be the cold winter season, farmers don't have to cultivate wasteland, it's time for military training...

……

"The Slave Cavalry surrounded our castle without attacking it, and set up a huge pocket array in a radius of nearly a hundred miles, waiting to eat up our rescue troops in one bite. It was a good idea."

"Look at these points. The area circled with the red pen is the station and ambush point of the Jiannu cavalry."

"The blue one is the marching route of our Ming army."

On Kuwu Island, a huge battle map hangs on the wall of the main hall of Cao Wenzhao's Marquis Mansion.

Cao Wenzhao stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back, listening to a "combat staff officer" analyze the situation on the battlefield, with a smile on his face.

The idiot emperor really had the foresight. When he left Kuwu Island, he ordered Mao Yuanyi to send over a group of students from the Great Ming Lecture Hall.

This brand new way of fighting made Cao Wenzhao feel very comfortable.

This is called fighting.

When fighting on the front line in Shanhaiguan, many orders were "sitting and discussing" with a group of generals. If it weren't for some monsters who were familiar with the art of war, many combat orders actually had great fallacies and loopholes.

Isn't this refined combat deployment like the one in front of you the "modern warfare model" that the idiot emperor often mentions?
"Master Hou, you can issue combat orders now."

After analyzing the situation on the battlefield, a student from the Yanwu Hall who was in charge of explaining turned his head to look at Cao Wenzhao and said, "According to the secret order from His Majesty the Emperor, our battle method is mainly divided into two steps;
The first step is the city defense battle, let our dozens of new castles restrain the slave cavalry, make them unable to attack, return without success, have to besiege but not attack, and disperse their forces;
The second step is mountain guerrilla warfare.

As for the guerrilla warfare, it is very simple. Let all the front-line combat generals, partial generals, guerrilla generals, and general banners break up the troops into pieces, maintain a guerrilla state at all times, and lead the Jiannu cavalry in circles.

When necessary, turn the parts into wholes, concentrate superior forces, and make a fatal move with a backhand, biting a big piece of fat..."

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we disturb; when the enemy is tired, we fight; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

The sixteen-character formula is a stroke of genius.

After listening to the students in Yanwu Hall, Cao Wenzhao walked slowly to the table in the main hall, sat down slowly, and began to issue a series of orders.

"Order Zhang Wei to lead two thousand cavalry to harass Laohekou!"

"Order Li Sen to lead 800 people, pretend to attack Longgu Mountain, carry out mountain guerrilla warfare, and drag some of the slave cavalry to death!"

"Order Jiang Ping to lead [-] engineers to blow up all bridges, passes, and river valleys within a radius of [-] miles of Laohekou, so that no one person and one rider can escape!"

……

A big battle quietly started.

In a river valley at the southern foot of Luding Mountain, three thousand white soldiers marched quietly with their flags and drums silent.

Their goal is Laohekou.

There are dozens of camps, large and small, in the temporary camp of the slave cavalry, and they have been run as impenetrable as gold, it is simply a Jedi with an open mouth.

Or, deadly.

On a hillside, General Qin Liangyu stood tall, surrounded by several young men with strange faces. Under Shen Bulan's command, he quickly adjusted a strange 'big iron box'.

What particularly surprised Qin Liangyu was that there were a few shiny silver metal strips on top of a four to five feet high piece of wood. At first glance, it looked like dragonfly wings...

stab.

Thorn, stab, stab...

After a strange sound, those young people showed joy on their faces.

"It's done?"

"It's done!"

"Okay, let's try it out first, and don't make any mistakes."

"Okay, let's try it first."

"Who should I send this to first? By the way, let's send a letter to Young Master first."

"OK, all right."

Sting, sting, sting...

After another strange noise, a young man said softly, "Okay, you can send the letter."

The shepherd Shen Bulan pondered for a while, then turned his head and smiled at Qin Liangyu who was not far away: "General Qin, come and say a few words to our young master."

"Me?" Qin Liangyu pointed at the big iron box with a blank expression on his face, "That's it?"

"Yes, that's it!"

Shen Bulan said affirmatively: "General Qin, what do you want to say to my son, we will send it for you."

Qin Liangyu had never seen this kind of 'bewitching thing' before. A hint of hesitation appeared on his cool face: "This... can really be sent? Flying pigeons to send letters, don't you use pigeons and tamed falcons and other birds?"

"Haha, that's old Huangli, General Qin, just say what you want, and we'll send it to you." Shen Bulan laughed loudly.

Qin Liangyu dubiously looked at the 'Youchat Number Myth Machine', and said: "Then... tell your son, sister-in-law thanks him for these new firearms, if you don't kill thousands of Jiannu pigtails, sister-in-law will...

Sister-in-law just... well, scold the idiot emperor and treacherous official Wei Zhongxian to death! "

After Qin Liangyu stammered, he looked at Shen Bulan with two phoenix eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "Hero Shen, is it okay to say that?"

The corners of Shen Bulan's eyes twitched, but he laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Okay, why not!"

"Send out what General Qin said verbatim!"

"Yes!"

Several young people were busy for a while, only to hear "da da da, da da, da da da da..."

After a series of rhythmic 'da da' sounds, a young man took off the 'small horn' on his ear and said, "Leader, it's out."

"En." Shen Bulan nodded slightly.

"Just sent it out? How could your young master hear what I said? Could it be that he has a clairvoyant eye and a good ear?" Qin Liangyu looked incredulous.

In my heart, I was still dubious.

After all, this is too outrageous. If you can transmit your words with a big iron box two or three thousand miles away, wouldn't you be a half-immortal...

No, it is simply a fairy-like method!
"Okay, let's send letters to the commander-in-chief and the Marquis of Liaodong." Shen Bulan shook his head, and began to direct the young man to send out his location, and at the same time asked Mao Yuanyi for instructions on what to do next.

……

In the capital, Zhu Youjian, who received the "telegram" for the first time, twitched the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but want to slap Miss Hongliu's buttocks: "Presumptuous, bold, lawless, the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, even Mao Baldou gave it to you." It's broken!

Listen, it's another idiot emperor!
It's just... so appropriate, hahaha! "

Miss Hongliu pushed Zhu Youjian's salty hands away, and said coquettishly: "Your sister-in-law scolded the idiot emperor, but she didn't scold you, my uncle. What are you happy about!"

Zhu Youjian smiled, insisted on stretching out his paws, and pinched the red willow girl's bulging sac a few times, and then smiled comfortably: "It's better than dumplings, and it's better than... dumplings.

I respect our sister-in-law of the Qin family from the bottom of my heart. After this battle is over, I will give her the title of Marquis of the Southwest, equip her with the most elite iron army in the world, and let her fight a few battles.

The good days of those local emperors in the southwest are coming to an end! "

Zhu Youjian was in a good mood, and sent an edict: "Reply to my sister-in-law, just let her go and fight, don't be afraid that the bullets and shells are not enough, I...cough cough, this son-in-law ordered Cao Wenzhao to prepare tens of thousands of rounds Bullets can be transported anytime, anywhere!"

"Also, send an order to Shen Bulan, let him do a good job, don't bring out a special operations team that is the best in the world, be careful that I will kill him!"

"Decree to Mao Yuanyi, if there is no big victory in the Liaodong battlefield, I will tell him to become a veritable bald Mao!"

"Pass an order to Mr. Cao, let him deal with the matters in the Jiangnan area as soon as possible, and if you meet some guys who don't have long eyes, just kill them."

"Pass an order to Cao Wenzhao, saying that next spring, when the flowers bloom, I will visit Kuwu Island and Luding Mountain!"

……

With a burst of "da da da" crisp sound.

One message after another was quickly delivered...

……

Laohekou is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. It is covered with snow at a glance, and it has a magnificent scene of ice-covered northern land.

The three Jiala Ezhen who stood side by side on the top of a peak did not have the slightest mood to appreciate the beauty of the world, and their faces became more and more gloomy and terrifying.

Dozens of personal soldiers stood in the distance, not daring to vent their breath, and kept silent like cicadas.

On the hillside not far away, the corpses of several cavalrymen were thrown here and there. The scouts sent out came back to report. A series of bad news finally angered the three Lord Jialaerzhen and ordered them to be pushed out to dismember the corpses.

This situation has not happened for many years.

It shows that the battle on the front line is worse than expected.

"A traitor, there is a traitor among us!"

"Yes, otherwise, why would the Ming army know our deployment and whereabouts so well?"

"You dog, if you find out the traitor, you must tear him into pieces!"

"No, the dismemberment of the corpse into ten thousand pieces still doesn't solve the hatred. We must report to His Majesty the Emperor to wipe out the entire tribe!"

……

Jiala Ezhen, who was hit in the stomach by Chen Xingzhi, finally died after struggling for three days and nights.

This 1-strong army is currently under the command of the three Jiala Erzhen.

In the past two or three days, the Ming army under Cao Wenzhao suddenly changed its tactics. He turned his head and took a bite.

Then, turn around and run.

After several hours of chasing by the army, those nasty Ming army's old tricks were repeated, and it was just a mouthful...

At the very beginning, the Jiannu iron cavalry was directly beaten into a daze.

What kind of play is this?
Marching and fighting, isn't it about putting on a posture and competing for strength and courage on the battlefield?These hateful Ming soldiers simply ignored any provocations and curses, and went their own way.

If you can beat it, hit it, if you can't beat it, turn around and run away.

Never sloppy.

Even, landmines, barbed wire, and tripping ropes were laid along the way, and they took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to specifically pick out the weaknesses of the cavalry and fight them to death.

In just three days, more than [-] elite cavalry were lost.

On the surface, the battle damage is not large.

The problem is, the opponent didn't even die!
What's especially maddening is that the opponent obviously only has one or two thousand people, and they are mainly infantry, but they can lead thousands of cavalry around in circles, which is simply out of the picture!
"big eater!"

"waste!"

"Pig!"

The three Jia Laerzhen were so furious that they chopped off several Niuluerzhen's heads, but it still didn't help in the end.

The situation on the front line suddenly became worse.

"Or, continue to implement the plan made by Azigbeile before, and fight steadily, step by step. If the Ming army invades, let's ignore it and see what he can do to me?"

A Master Jiala Erzhen proposed.

The other two nodded.

This is also a way.

Previously, the tactic formulated by the unlucky Lord Belle was actually very effective. He chose the most important castles to besiege, and then sent several teams of cavalry to destroy the railway. He had already completed the strategic task formulated before.

"In the future, we must be steady and steady, and we must not take risks again."

"In addition, contact the savage tribes within a thousand miles as soon as possible, and ask them to send troops to help quickly."

"Yes, let them deliver some food first!"

The three Jiala Erzhen have negotiated and decided to pass down the general order...

Suddenly, there was a dull loud noise from far away.

The mountains roared, the snowflakes flew, and the whole old estuary gradually returned to calm after a slight tremor.

"What happened?"

"It's the direction of Suolongguan!"

"Speed ​​pays off!"

In the direction of Suolongguan, there is a huge and narrow canyon. It is a secret road leading to the Horqin Grassland.

An orderly got on his horse and galloped away.

"You two, the loud noise just now was a bit weird. Could it be that the Ming army made the movement?" A real Jiala looked in the direction of Suolong Pass and said with an uncertain expression.

"It seems to be really an explosion..."

"No way, the Suolongguan Grand Canyon is guarding a thousand of our elites, and the Ming army refuses to sneak in and make trouble."

"Could it be... is it really the Ming army's fault?"

A Jiala's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said in surprise: "Everyone, do you remember that in the battle at Xifengkou, those shitty Ming Engineering Bureau detonated gunpowder around the battlefield, blowing up and destroying all aisle……"

The expressions of the other two Jiala's foreheads also changed greatly: "The Ming army's dog thief is really vicious!"

Right at this moment...

……

In the distance, twenty or thirty miles away, dozens of dazzling fires rose up.

Surrounded by huge black clouds, it looks like gods from ancient times.

Indifferent, ferocious and huge.

Looking down at the earth.

With a palpitating and destructive force, it slowly rises, rolls in the sky, changes, and roars...

……

Rumble!
Rumble boom boom boom!

The earth trembled and the mountains shook, the mountains echoed, and the beasts wailed.

Baicao fell.

The endless beasts and birds were frightened and opened their eyes in a trance. After a while, they hissed and chirped a few times, and then began to scurry away.

When panicked, many birds and beasts bumped into tree stumps and rocks and died.

The three Jiala Ezhen adults were stunned and rubbed their eyes vigorously, only then did they hear loud noises one after another.

Shocking!
