Rebirth Zhu Yuanzhang's King Summoning System

Chapter 85 Full-scale war

Liu Futong thought for a while, then shook his head resolutely and said: "I would like to inform all the marshals that Liu Futong has kindly accepted it. Please stick to their own cities, take their core areas as the center, and radiate and attack the Yuan army around them. Everyone restrains the forces they face. Enemies are the greatest help to our Yingzhou City!"

Liu Futong was right.

At that time, communication was not developed.

It has been three months since the news of Chahan Timur's death spread to Dadu, Wang Baobao's army was ready to go, and the army crossed the river. From a perspective, it's still too slow.

Liu Futong's judgment was not wrong.

Late autumn has long passed, and winter is coming.

The Yuan army came to the world immediately, and naturally they were used to ruling on horseback.

However, the huge cavalry is not without weaknesses. Their biggest problem is the fodder for the horses.

The huge cavalry group has an astonishing number of horses, and the daily rations of these horses are a huge problem.In the spring, summer and autumn, it’s okay to say that after the Mongolian army captured the land of China, they almost killed all the Han people. In the wilderness, leaves and grass are everywhere, and there is ample supply of forage.But in winter, when the snow is covered and the land is barren, where can the fodder be used for the horses?How can a horse that is not full have the strength to charge and fight?In the past winters, it was the time when the Yuan army exploited the people most weakly. The reason was that there was no grass to feed the horses and they could not go out.

If it weren't for the big troubles caused by the Jiangnan uprising army, these Yuan troops who were crossing the river to fight were all on vacation at home at this time, eating mutton by roasting fire, and drinking kumiss.

Liu Futong was well aware of the weakness of the Yuan army's cavalry, so he deduced that the number of Yuan troops crossing the river this time would not be too many. Even if there were a large number of people, the proportion of cavalry with high combat effectiveness must be at a minimum.Without cavalry, relying solely on infantry to launch attacks on various strongholds is just a dream.

After receiving Liu Futong's reply, Zhu Yuanzhang, who followed Guo Zixing back to Haozhou City, nodded his head in praise and said, "Deputy Marshal Liu deserves to be a battle-tested veteran. He has a unique vision and is very approachable."

Guo Zixing squinted his small eyes, staring at the map in front of him and said, "Yes. Last time I suffered from Wang Baobao's loss. The power of the golden lion flag should not be underestimated. We should be cautious. Zhu Yuanzhang, tell me, Wang Baobao will be the most Where should we attack first? Is it really Yingzhou City?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. Yingzhou City is just a cover. It's freezing and the Yuan army has few horses. How can we attack?"

Tang He rubbed the back of his head and asked with a puzzled look: "Aren't you attacking Yingzhou City? But the people Wang Baobao brought are all near Yingzhou City. They don't attack Yingzhou City. Why are so many people going there? Watching?" "

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Tang He, shook his head, and looked at Xu Da and the others. Their eyes were also full of smiles.

Xu Da pointed to Tang He and said: "You are a reckless man, you are really a reckless man. Wang Baobao just wanted to pretend to attack Yingzhou City. Think about it, Yingzhou is the head of the Jiangnan uprising army. Once Yingzhou The city is besieged, can the insurgents in all directions just sit back and watch?"

Feng Sheng nodded, and followed Xu Da's words: "Xu Da is right. Once the surrounding rebels leave the city, the defenseless reinforcements will face Wang Baobao's sneak attack in the vast wilderness. At that time, face to face The charge of the Yuan army will greatly reduce the disadvantage of having fewer horses in winter."

Feng Yong stroked his beard and agreed with Xu Da and Feng Sheng's analysis: "This is a typical tactic of encircling and attacking reinforcements. In addition to the reinforcements going to the reinforcements, the empty city will face Huizhou City Basierbuhua and Jiangnan Yuan Army directly. Commander Li Siqi's attack. At that time, the front will be ambushed, and the rear will be thrown into the city. With the enemy in the front and back, the Jiangnan uprising army will be over."

Seeing Tang He's sudden realization, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Tang He, now you understand."

Tang He gave a heavy "Yes", and then asked: "But, what if Wang Baobao really leads people to attack the city forcibly? If other generals lead the army to attack the city, I am not worried at all. But Wang Baobao is the owner of the Golden Lion Banner after all, if he insists on attacking the city, Yingzhou City may really be in danger."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xu Da and the others, and found that they were all frowning, as if they were thinking about Tang He's question.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the map lightly with his fingers, and said loudly: "This is Liu Futong's purpose for us to wander around around the station to annihilate the Yuan army. The Jiangxi Army and Huangzhou Mingjiao can effectively attack and harass Li Siqi's army. Haozhou The Red Turban Army and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Salt Merchant Group can hold back Huizhou City, which Ba Sier does not spend. As long as we remove Wang Baobao's right and left arm, no matter how powerful he is, it is absolutely impossible to capture Yingzhou City. You must know, Yingzhou City In the state city, there is an elite army among the elite."

Thinking of the Yingzhou City elite troops possessed by the Beiwei Army, all the generals were shocked. Zhu Yuanzhang was right, their existence alone was enough for Wang Baobao to drink a pot.What's more, there is an experienced veteran like Liu Futong sitting in Yingzhou City, whether it is strategic command or tactical strike, there is no weakness from top to bottom.Wang Baobao wanted to conquer it by himself, it was tantamount to nonsense.

On that day, Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui, who received news from Liu Futong, led the Jiangxi Army and the Mingjiao respectively to launch a frenzied attack on Li Siqi's troops.

Unexpectedly, Li Siqi is not a soft persimmon, he is also a good fighter in real battles, Chen Youliang defeated his division, and within two days, Li Siqi defeated Xu Shouhui's infantry battalion.Xu Shouhui took a position from Li Siqi, and that afternoon, Li Siqi captured a city from Chen Youliang.The three parties fought in a see-saw melee, and Li Siqi fought left and right, using the 10 yuan army in his hands properly. Although he did not cause any commendable damage to the opponent, he did not suffer much.Even Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui, who fought against him, regretted repeatedly: It is a pity that such an excellent general as Li Siqi is serving the Yuan army.

Li Siqi himself knew that against the Jiangnan uprising army, he should not do anything.After all, he is also a Han Chinese, so it is not certain that one day the Yuan Dynasty will collapse, and he will go to the Jiangnan uprising army to beg for his life.Therefore, as long as Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui don't take the initiative to attack, he will definitely not attack first.Half a month after the three parties saw each other, Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui discovered Li Siqi's characteristics at the same time. They stopped attacking very tacitly and confronted Li Siqi's station far away. As long as he didn't move, they wouldn't move either.As long as Li Siqi's army tends to move towards Yingzhou, Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui will attack immediately.As soon as he made contact, Li Siqi withdrew his troops, as if he didn't really want to break out to Yingzhou City to meet Wang Baobao.

But what Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang faced was different.
