Chongzhen Undergraduates

"20 years ago, he possessed the quality of a strategic commander. After 20 years, he has already cultivated into a devil king!" Zhu Youjian said helplessly.

"Let the branches of the Tiandihui try their best to provide supplies for the army. In addition, the minister thought that the cavalry army and the Gaoyigong department could join forces first, and move along the Xizhou and Datong lines. These places are mountainous areas, and the enemy troops are also It is impossible to capture all the civilians, and the army should be able to persist. When the army moves to Changping and Miyun, Shanhaiguan should also be able to get through.

The two armies on the eastern front also only have ten days of food. They can join forces in Cangzhou and wait for the supplies from Tianjin Wei. "Li Yan said.

This time it was really a duel of masters. According to Li Yan's formation, the Ming army plunged into the encirclement first. It is estimated that Hong Chengchou was still happy to divide the army into two groups, and walked carefully along the edge of the encirclement.

In fact, it is a risk-free thing to ride the first army to go to the front line of Xuanfu, because with the strong transportation support of the first army and the assistance of Gao Yigong's mountain combat troops, it can completely abuse any opponent in Xuanfu.

The loophole in this layout is whether the two armies on the eastern front can successfully strategy Tianjin Wei and get supplies.If there is no supply, or a delay of a day or two, Hong Chengchou can completely eat these two armies, and then turn around and stick to the capital. Even if Shanhaiguan is captured, the Ming army will have nothing to do with Hong Crazy.

Chapter 5 Twelve: The Ming Army seized the stumbling block

After Liu Tichun's department completed the supply as quickly as possible, it immediately set off eastward towards Hengshui.However, Yuan Zongdi, who attacked Dezhou, waited under the city of Dezhou for five days without moving.

The defender of Dezhou was Chen Mingxia. Chongzhen was in the 16th year of exploration, Chongzhen surrendered to Li Zicheng in 17th year, and then surrendered gold.In the official history, he is a character who likes to form cliques and play tricks.

Because Dezhou is close to Jinan, there are more defenders in Dezhou city than ordinary people. In addition, every winter in recent years, the number of people who cannot escape in Shandong is also the largest.

So the entire Dezhou city is already a big military fortress.

Cheng Xianzhen, who had already been appointed governor of Shandong, was walking on the road north of the Yellow River in a carriage with a team of guards.Both sides of the avenue are full of barren world, no different from when he accompanied Zhu Youjian to the south.

It has been more than seven years, and this is the first time he has set foot on the road back to his hometown.The main road is full of army carriages, all of which are transporting supplies to the front line.

Horse-drawn carriages are now the most important means of land transportation in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is official travel or material transportation, all horse-drawn carriages are ordered to be used.As a result, the profession of bearer is fading out of the social life of Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the manufacture of carriages has become more and more user-friendly, not only with shock absorbing springs, but also with the concept of a simple differential.Anyway, cars are getting more and more comfortable, and there are fewer and fewer small workshops that can make them.

The development of industrialization itself is a blow to the traditional handicraft industry. Judging from the performance, it seems that Ming's business has fallen into a trough, but agriculture is booming.

"My lord, the barracks is ahead." A subordinate rode to the side of the carriage to report.

"In the past, I sent a message, saying that the Holy Spirit has arrived." Cheng Xianzhen withdrew her thoughts and ordered.

Yuan Zongdi was having a meeting in his tent, studying how to bypass Dezhou and take Cangzhou as quickly as possible.Here is the canal, or walking on legs.

He and Liu Tichun's two armies are not comparable to the first army of cavalry. Except for the logistics and cannons, they are all real armies, and they rely entirely on their feet to measure the marching route.It took at least half a month for the army to walk from Dezhou to Tianjinwei.

But the food they can carry is enough for ten days at most, and the remaining five days are starved and fainted waiting to be captured by the enemy? Obviously not.

Hearing that the emperor's oral order had arrived, Yuan Zongdi hurried out of the tent to greet him, but there was no need to set up an incense table.

In Dezhou city, Chen Mingxia looked at the Ming army outside the city with contempt.It has been several days, not to mention the siege, the Ming army has not even fired a cannon.Chen Mingxia admired the methods of the cabinet prime minister Hong Chengchou, a senior scholar, who had important military affairs, even though he had thousands of troops, he had to lie obediently in front of them.

The people on the city wall have changed countless times, and now there are not only men but also women on the city wall.How can a group of women be scattered in the hands of Jin Bing? The younger ones were insulted by soldiers, big and small, on the spot.

Chen Mingxia completely closed his eyes on this, he wished that such things would happen as many times as possible, only in this way the soldiers defending the city would work harder.

Hatred is the best way to separate people's hearts. Only hatred can control the order in the city.The garrison and the common people are married, and he can't control this Texas city at all.

"My lord, how many unscrupulous people are going to be sent to the city at night?" An officer looked at Chen Mingxia with wretched and expectant eyes. Of course Chen Mingxia knew what these people were thinking.

"You can go to the city to pick out the troublesome people who go to the city tonight. But there is one thing, you must defend this city for me, and you must not miss a major event." Chen Mingxia stroked his goatee and reprimanded others, this It is the favorite style of civil servants.

"Follow your lord's teachings, bid for a certain effect, and you will never hesitate to die!" The officer's good words came out of his mouth, and these words were loved by civil servants.

Anyway, when it comes to what the individual thinks, it is nothing more than everyone fooling each other.As the saying goes: I want you to point, but I don't want you to point.

The soldiers of the old era have long been impatient with the pointing style of the civil servants.

After nightfall, the Ming army camp outside the city was as usual.However, the defenders in Dezhou city had already started to behave wildly, the soldiers' lewd smiles and women's screams kept coming and going.

"Go up." With a whispered order, dozens of small black shadows in the night carried five or six ladders and were building towards the top of the city wall.

"Company commander, what if the enemy shoots early?" Squad leader Wu Manyu asked the company commander before he stepped up the ladder.

"If the enemy shoots early, your squad will go back and feed the pigs." The company commander said harshly.This answer made Wu Manyu very nervous. The soldiers who feed the pigs are the worst soldiers in the entire army, and they can't even touch a gun all year round.But he also knew that the company commander's words were not joking, and he fired ahead of time to expose himself, and feeding the pigs was considered the lightest punishment.

In the distant Ming army barracks, Yuan Zongdi anxiously waited for the news ahead.Attacking Dezhou was the order Zhu Youjian gave him.

The reason is very simple. The Ming army's reluctance to attack the city was not really brought down by Hong Chengchou's means, but it was a real consideration of the life and death of the people in the city.

If it is true that no city is attacked, it will definitely encourage the arrogance of the enemy and also hurt the confidence of the people in the city.

Of the several cities, the attack on Dezhou is the least harmful, and it is also the biggest obstacle on the way of the army's Northern Expedition.

In order to send the two armies to Tianjin Wei, which is closer to the capital, it is necessary to send the food supplies of the army to the basic conditions that they have completed their tasks.Military orders are for soldiers to defeat the enemy, not for soldiers to die in vain.

You can't use artillery to fight Texas, you have to go back to the method of fighting in hand-to-hand combat, and you don't have to be afraid of casualties.

When Wu Manyu came to the city wall, there were already more than a dozen corpses of enemy soldiers lying on the ground. These people were all killed by his comrades with bayonets.

"Xiao Wu, your squad will go down the steps to the bottom of the city, first find a way to open the city gate." The company commander ordered.

"I know the company commander." Wu Manyu waved, and the dozen or so people behind him immediately followed him and slipped down the city.All went well, and the raid went completely unnoticed by the enemy.

Wu Manyu walked down the wall slowly. There was a glimmer of moonlight in the sky, but there was a shadow at the bottom of the wall.At a corner, a soldier wanted to rush over, but was dragged back by Wu Manyu.

Next to the city gate, there is usually a cave for Tibetan soldiers.But the cave in front of Wu Manyu's eyes was full of people, and they seemed to be queuing up.

"Squad leader, what are they doing?" A little soldier asked.

"Hush!" Wu Manyu quickly stopped his comrades from speaking.

A golden soldier happened to come out of the cave with his trousers up, smiling, humming a little song as he walked, and his almost naked body was covered with sweat.

"Brother, how is it?" A gold soldier at the end of the line asked eagerly.

"Hey, they are all big girls with yellow flowers, they are so beautiful!" The golden soldiers laughed lewdly.

Wu Manyu was short of breath as he stuck to the wall. He was completely unsure of killing so many enemies at once, but the mission assigned by the company commander had to be completed. What should we do?

"Squad leader, let's do it?" the deputy squad leader behind Wu Manyu urged.

"Go." Wu Manyu gritted his teeth, he put the bayonet on the head of the gun, then turned around and rushed out.

The naked golden soldier was pierced from behind by the bayonet without even noticing his shadow.In the first round, the Ming army of a class achieved the greatest results.Killed five golden soldiers on the spot without any casualties on his own side.

However, there are not only a few enemies here in the Cangbing Cave, there are twenty or thirty of them.What Wu Manyu saw was the enemies lined up outside, but the line inside the cave was actually longer.

"Squad leader, why are there so many enemies?" The deputy squad leader looked at the enemies that suddenly appeared from inside and asked.

"He xx, I thought they were QJing a girl, who knew they got several women to line up in xx." The enemy has already rushed out, and the situation in the cave of soldiers is already clear at a glance, completely destroying the existence of the three views.

"Squad leader, hurry up and throw the grenade, or our class will die here today." The deputy squad leader's hand had already touched his waist.

"No, the company commander said that it is not allowed to fire in advance, and firing will expose the action." Wu Manyu looked at the enemy who did not have any firearms, and still wanted to go through the trick first.
