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

Chapter 269 Foreplay

With earth-shattering explosions, all the bridges, river valleys, and passes within tens of miles of Laohekou were blown down in an instant.

Then, because of the huge explosion and the earthquake, a large-scale avalanche was triggered.

One after another, the towering snow-capped mountains slowly collapsed, like some ancient giants making palpitating roars before falling.

Then, silently collapsed.

It turned into clusters of terrifying snow mist, quickly covering the earth.

it's dark.

It was dark.

God, it seems to have collapsed!

Some of the camps built in dangerous places were the first to bear the brunt, and were wiped out by the heavy snow that rushed like a tide in a blink of an eye, and disappeared from the ground since then.

Whether it was the horses or the once heroic and fierce cavalry, they disappeared without making a sound.

"Daming Engineering Bureau..."

A Jiala forehead was pale and muttered to himself.

At the time of the battle at Xifengkou, the Daming Engineering Bureau became famous and became an eternal wound in the hearts of the Jiannu people, which never healed.

Now, seeing the "big hand" of the Daming Engineering Bureau once again, the Jiannu people have been frightened out of their wits, and can't speak for a long time.

Dozens of explosions caused an avalanche, but the number of soldiers and horses wiped out by the heavy snow was only a few hundred.

But the problem is!

Those directions were clearly the passages for everyone to retreat, but now, with the sound of earth-shattering explosions, they vanished into nothingness.

Can't get in.

Back, there is no way out.

The three Jia Lazhen's faces were ashen, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Report to Master Jiala Erzhen, the explosion on the other side seems to have blown up all our escape routes..."

Just at this time, a Niu Luer rushed over really fast, just turned over and fell off the horse, and before he had time to wipe off his sweat, he shouted anxiously: "Master Jialaer, what should we do now! "

A swipe.

That Niu Lu Ezhen's head was chopped off by a Jia La Ezhen, and Gu Lulu rolled out seven or eight feet away, and only stopped when he hit a huge rock.

His eyes were empty and blank.

What the hell, what's going on, I risked my life to report, why did the dog chop off my head?

Is there any reason...

……

"Disturb the morale of the army, kill without mercy!"

That Jiala Ezhen shouted in a cold voice: "From now on, who would dare to disturb the morale of the army with such an open fire, and cut the corpses apart!"

After finishing speaking, there was a snap.

The machete is sheathed.

The emotions of the three Jialaerzhen adults gradually calmed down, and they began to discuss the next countermeasures.

With no way out, there is only one way: break out of the siege, go straight to Kuwu Island, trample Cao Wenzhao and his [-] weak Ming troops into flesh, and slaughter nearly a million Han settlers!
The battle strategy was quickly formulated.

The soldiers were divided into three groups, and each Jiala Ezhen led an iron cavalry, and they marched separately.

One of the 2000 men and horses tried to break through one or two castles along the way to solve the problem of food supplies for the army; the other 2000 men and horses continued to play hide-and-seek with the wandering Ming troops, learning their tactics and dealing with them;

The last one was the main force of the Chinese army, and more than 5000 cavalry swept across it, heading straight for Kuwu Island!
"Remember, in the siege battle, find a way to restrain their cross-fire and minimize casualties."

"Fight against the wandering Ming army, and use the most uncomfortable kite-flying tactics of our cavalry, not afraid that we will not be able to drag those pig-like infantry."

"As for the main force of the Chinese army attacking Kuwu Island, it is necessary to give full play to the greatest advantage of the cavalry, quickly intersperse, attack the flanks, and consume the main force of the infantry of the Ming army at the fastest speed!"

Since they were forced to fight to the death, the Jiannu cavalry never took the Ming army seriously.

Especially in this very flat plain area, the real advantages of the cavalry can be brought into full play. If it is combined with some unconventional cavalry tactics, it is enough to become a nightmare for the Ming infantry...

……

"The slave cavalry is divided into three groups?"

On Kuwu Island, in the Marquis's mansion, Cao Wenzhao sat behind a huge pine table, flipping through several "telegrams", expressionless.

"According to the latest news from the front line, two thousand Jiannu cavalry are besieging Youjian No. 3 city."

"Another cavalry force of 2000 men learned our style of play and is also engaged in guerrilla warfare."

"The other [-] people took a shortcut, bypassed our two cities, and quickly approached Kuwu Island. They are expected to arrive at Youjian Avenue around Shenshi tomorrow afternoon."

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian likes to name all the cities, bridges, and armored warships after his own name.

At the beginning, when people called those cities, bridges, iron-clad warships, etc., they were very cautious, for fear of offending Longyan and offending the famous idiot emperor.

However, as time went by, everyone shouted smoothly.

Even some cities that were not named by Zhu Youjian himself, the big guys naturally named them "Youjian X City", "Youjian X Bridge"...

……

"Send an order to Zhang Wei, ordering him to rush to help Youjian City 3. Remember, you are only allowed to lose, not to win. Just harass, contain, and consume them, so as to reduce the pressure on the defenders."

"Send an order to Li Sen to enter Laohekou, break up the troops into pieces, occupy the opponent's lair and continue to carry out mountain guerrilla warfare."

"Pass down the order, let the patriarchs of the savage tribes come over and have a big feast!"

"Early tomorrow morning, I will supervise the battle with the Marquis, so that they can also experience our great Ming's combat power."

……

Da da da!
Drop drop!
After issuing the orders one by one, Cao Wenzhao sat firmly in the main hall and ordered students from the Daming Engineering Bureau and Daming Academy to discuss the plan to defend against the enemy.

Soon, dozens of students filed in and came to the meeting hall of Lord Hou's Mansion.

"Gentlemen, please sit down!"

In the face of these "technical talents" that the idiot emperor valued very much, Liaodong Marquis Cao Wenzhao did not dare to show off. After leaving his seat, he personally made tea for everyone and said with a smile:

"Everyone, at the opening time tomorrow, the Jiannu cavalry will attack Kuwu Island. This Marquis has called all the great talents here to finalize the method of defending against the enemy."

Cao Wenzhao spoke politely and poured tea for each student himself, just like facing a well-educated Confucian, never lacking half a point of etiquette.

He, the Marquis of Liaodong, knew in his heart that this group of characters were real national treasures in the Ming Dynasty.

Although compared with great scientists such as Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, their knowledge, insight, identity, and status are still somewhat inferior, but as time goes by, the idiot emperor's "global lord model" is fully promoted.

The future of these young people is limitless.

Even when Cao Wenzhao was pouring tea for these young people, a thought suddenly flashed into his mind. He felt in a trance that his title of Marquis might be worthless in the end. future big shot.

General.

Uncle, Lord Hou, Lord...

……

"Your Majesty, you are welcome. We were ordered to garrison Kuwu Island for today's battle. It is the duty of the students to kill Jiannu cavalry here."

A young man covered in oil and with copper and iron debris all over his head and face smiled and cupped his hands as a thank you.

Cao Wenzhao took a closer look and was amused.

Isn't this the romantic young man pretending to open up the frontier?
This kid is a good scholar, talented, and extremely handsome, a proper handsome man.

However, since coming to Kuwu Island, he first built the city wall, built roads and railways, participated in mining and drilling oil wells, and was recently arranged by Song Yingxing to study new-style steam locomotives. He is an outstanding student of Ming Dynasty.

"I haven't seen Mr. Mao for a while, and he has become more and more beautiful." Cao Wenzhao said half-jokingly.

"Haha, Master Hou was joking, for those of us who are engaged in scientific research, the smell of oil on our body can make a lot of women faint, so what are you talking about?" Mao Pijiang laughed.

Cao Wenzhao walked over, took Mao Pijiang's hand, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, go to the map and explain to everyone how to fight tomorrow."

Cao Wenzhao didn't refuse, he stepped forward generously, held a 'pointer', and began to analyze and deploy in detail. He was very familiar with tomorrow's battle, which made Cao Wenzhao even more emotional.

The afterlife is terrifying.

The afterlife is terrifying!
"Jiannu iron cavalry is known as invincible on land. As long as there are enough troops, the weapons and equipment are in place, and the command is proper, they can even sweep the world and become invincible."

"However, it's all over."

"The decline of the prairie cavalry actually started when firearms such as muskets, red cannons, and pilizi grenades were widely used. However, it is not obvious yet."

"The reason is nothing more than two points. First, the power of firearms is not enough to kill cavalry; second, the guerrilla warfare mode of cavalry makes it a science to completely annihilate them."

"It's just that this time, this slave cavalry is about to die."

"Because the enemy they are facing is not others, but us, the Ming Iron Army!"

Taking the initiative to talk about it, first, it was a penetrating analysis, which encouraged everyone, and only then did the specific deployment begin.

"Hou Ye can first order three to five thousand soldiers to block the attack, retreating while fighting, only failure is allowed, victory is not allowed, and he can't let himself be seriously damaged.

Don't let the slave cavalry break through the line of defense easily. This is among the many difficulties, and you must perform enough tricks.

Otherwise, those arrogant prairie cavalry will either have doubts in their hearts, give up halfway, turn around and run into the deep mountains and old forests, which will be difficult to deal with;
Secondly, at the west end of Youjian Crossing the Sea Avenue, hoard heavy troops for defense, and make a posture of defending to the end, attracting the other two soldiers to help. ——

Attack another cup of tea, and the city will be broken! "

Thousands of words were eloquently spoken, Mao Pijiang's analysis was logical, and his deployment was also well-coordinated, which made Cao Wenzhao secretly admire him.

"The idiot emperor is simply not a human being. The young people he cultivated are all monsters..."

'Even on paper, it sounds very comfortable. '

After Mao Bijiang finished speaking, Cao Wenzhao got up slowly, and said with a smile: "After hearing Mr. Mao's analysis of the war situation and strategic deployment, the Marquis was very moved. Jiannu Iron Cavalry met you young people today, I don’t know Did you accumulate great virtue in your previous life, or did you have bad luck in eighteen lifetimes?"

Everyone laughed.

Someone laughed and said, "It must be because of the virtues accumulated in the previous life that we can witness a real battle."

Cao Wenzhao nodded and said with a smile: "This Marquis thinks the same. Lord Long Live once pointed out that the grassland cavalry, known as invincible in the world, boasted that they were bloodthirsty, good at killing, and good at fighting;
However, Long Live God emphasized that the glorious days of the prairie cavalry will soon disappear and become a past that makes people recall;
Because, Long Live God promised that he would bury the grassland cavalry in the world with his own hands.

He wants to let the prairie cavalry run into the wonderful era of hospitality, singing and dancing! "

Everyone applauded in unison, and under the leadership of Cao Wenzhao and Mao Pijiang, they applauded vigorously to show their approval of His Majesty's words.

Others do not know.

They are a group of people who are very clear.

This time, what is the 'surprise' they prepared for the slave cavalry...

……

That night, in Liaodong Marquis' Mansion, Cao Wenzhao held a big banquet with guests all night long.

Big pieces of meat, big bowls of wine.

The singing and dancing one after another pushed the atmosphere of the dinner party to climaxes again and again.

Cao Wenzhao got drunk and went off in person. He performed a sword dance show for the leaders and patriarchs of the savage tribes.

One is "Pozhenzi" and the other is "Manjianghong".

The word "Broken Time" is Xin Qiji's work. It is tactful and low-key, drunk and hazy, which is amazing.

[Lighting the lamp to watch the sword while drunk, dreaming back to the company of blowing horns.Eight hundred miles under the command of the sun, the sound of fifty strings turning over the Great Wall, autumn soldiers on the battlefield.

Lu Fei of the horse is fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt.Settle the affairs of the king and the world, and win the fame before and after his life.Poor thing happened in vain! 】

And the next [Manjianghong] is Yue Fei's masterpiece.

Resentful and depressed, swords are on the verge of breaking out, wishing he could take up the sword and go into battle to kill all enemies.

Cao Wenzhao was originally a warrior, with a rough and violent nature, but he also sang with a murderous intent.

[Furious, leaning on the railing, resting in the Xiaoxiao rain.Lift our sight, the sky and shouts, grand, vehement.Thirty fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon.Don't wait for nothing, the boy's head is white, empty and sad.

Jingkang's shame is still unresolved.When will the hatred of the courtiers be destroyed?Driving a long car to break through, Helan Mountain is missing.The aspirations eat the meat of the Hulu hungry, and laugh and talk about drinking the blood of the Huns when they are thirsty.Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que. 】

……

……

The sword light is cold, and the murderous intent is soaring.

With Cao Wenzhao's sword dance and chants, the banquet is coming to an end.

At that time, the east was white, the sky was getting brighter, and the sky on Kuwu Island was clear, separated by a "Yujian Crossing the Sea Avenue", but the sky in the west was gray.

Frozen clouds thousands of miles.

"Look at how I raise my sword to kill the enemy today!"

"Even if you die drunk... No, no. Even if you die in battle, Benhou, Benhou will remain in history, hahahaha..."

Cao Wenzhao was so drunk that he seemed to be unable to open his eyes.

He staggered out a few steps, and before he could continue bragging, he fell to the ground and snored loudly, causing all the savage tribe leaders and patriarchs to look at each other.

The war is imminent.

This Marquis of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, unexpectedly died in such a drunken dream?

This is the way to self-destruction!

In the seat, more than a dozen tribal leaders looked at each other, nodded imperceptibly, their eyes flickered, and they began to leave one after another, claiming to order their warriors to come as soon as possible to help Liaodong Hou defend Kuwu Island...
