Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"One bet, just this one time!"

……

"So brave!"

In the big tent of the Son of Heaven, Li Xiu couldn't help but give a big praise after learning about the movements of Hou Jin's troops.

When they were all blocked by themselves, they still didn't move the main force, and just sent partial divisions back to help!

In this way, he is obviously unwilling to act on behalf of the good, and he is about to burn the boat.

If so...

Li Xiu turned around and fixed his eyes on the map: "Send the order and tell Huang Degong that within five days, he must arrive at Yanghe to support Zhou Yuji's troops and block the main force of Houjin at all costs."

After finishing speaking, Li Xiu looked at the military staff officer standing beside him, and asked, "How long will it take for all the guards to arrive?"

"Reporting to His Majesty, it will take seven days at the earliest."

"That's too late."

Li Xiu shook his head: "Hou Jin is betting on his life!"

"Order the whole army to advance the general attack, and start the general attack two days later!"

"As ordered!"

The generals took orders and left.

Li Xiu glanced around at the map, his eyes flickered, he also walked out of the big tent, and stepped on the observation tower in a few steps. Between the sky and the Mongolian village, there were endless yurts.

Lin Danhan has nearly 20 iron cavalry, which are listed between the heaven and the earth in the shape of a character. The Mongolian cavalry, which should have been a sharp spear, is now guarding in a stronghold, practicing delaying tactics.

If it is possible, Li Xiu would rather continue to consume than initiate a war.

However, Lin Danhan has the capital to spend it unscrupulously, but he does not have this capital, and Daheng does not have the size to support this battle at all.

Although the money of the imperial family of the former Ming Dynasty was considered a huge fortune, it would definitely be difficult to sustain such a grand war of mobilizing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and recruiting hundreds of thousands of civilians for too long.

What's more, it is impossible for a country to spend all its money and food in a war, and he has to think about it after the war.

After all, even fiscal and taxation reforms require massive amounts of money and food to support them, otherwise, if not done well, there will be another chaos in the world.

"Later Jin, Mongolia..."

Li Xiu silently recited the names of these two great enemies.

In this battle, it is naturally impossible to annihilate both of the two great enemies, but no matter what, the two great enemies must be damaged, and their vitality will be greatly injured. At least, in the future, Daheng will quell the civil strife At that time, this incident of taking advantage of the fire and looting will not happen again.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is here to report."

Just as Li Xiu was thinking, a soldier shouted a report under the watchtower.

"Let him come up."

"As ordered!"

Soon, a Jin Yiwei hurriedly stepped onto the watchtower.

"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei's spies in Tianjin reported that there was a warship of the Fujian rebels in the Tianjin coast, and it had already rushed to the south of the Yangtze River. The commander suspected that King Shou and the rebels might have boarded the rebel warship..."

Jin Yiwei reported tremblingly, fearing that the emperor would be furious and cut him off.

But this time, the emperor's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let him go!"

"Tell Li Ruolian that this matter is over."

Jin Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "This subordinate obeys the order."

Li Xiu waved his hand, and didn't say any more, staring at the stretching military camp in front of him, the Daheng Black Dragon Banner covering the sky and the sun, his thoughts were full of mixed feelings.

He usurped his country and took his throne, how can he dream of living in harmony, and how can he hope that he can be honest.

The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good!

Maybe one day, someone will usurp the kingdom of his descendants and take the throne of his descendants.

He tried his best, even if one generation did what three generations did, it was impossible to stop the torrent of history!

There was a touch of coolness in his thoughts, but he suddenly felt it from his cheeks. Li Xiu slowly raised his head, but saw snowflakes flying and falling in the sky.

The originally clear sky was slowly becoming dark at this moment, and the wind that rose slowly swept the sky with snowflakes flying, and an inexplicable depression descended on this world.

He remembered that the Battle of Monan back then seemed to be filled with snow...

This seems to be a good sign!

Chapter 217 Who wins and who loses

In the second year of Zhaowu, March [-]th, Sui Shabei.

Dawn broke, and in the dim sky, the faintly visible waning moon had not yet completely set, and the big sun was nowhere to be seen.

Although spring is deep, the chill of deep winter has not dissipated, and the white snow covering the world has deepened the chill.

The whistling north wind whipped up snowflakes flying all over the sky, blowing across this mighty and long-lasting army, and the Daheng Black Dragon flags were also dancing along with it, stretching and mighty!

The battle robes were stained with blood, the armor collided, and the aura of gold and iron horses also filled the stretch of the military stronghold.

On this day, the atmosphere in the military camp became more tense. In the white snow, some soldiers sat around the fire, or remained silent, or wiped their armor, or surrounded the literate soldiers, leaving A letter home like a suicide note.

War, under the pen of literati, is romantic, but, for these soldiers, war is a cruelty that destroys humanity.

They also had no room to resist. Under the heavy military orders, they could only take up weapons numbly, follow the instructions of the military orders, charge, kill, and then turned into a broken corpse.

If you are lucky, you may be able to collect the bones and send them back to your hometown for burial. If you are unlucky, you will be buried in a foreign land and your soul will stay in a foreign land.

What they can do is to make the most complete preparations as possible in every war, so that their already pitifully low chance of survival can be greater.

Perhaps the only thing worth looking forward to is the wealth and glory after surviving.

I look forward to making military exploits, getting rid of the fate of ants, and controlling a little autonomy of my own destiny.

"gather!"

"All gather!"

I don't know when, the silence suddenly broke, amidst the howling wind, the drums of war suddenly sounded, accompanied by the waving of the command flag of the messenger, and the shouting of a famous general, also resounded throughout the stretching army camp.

Under the waving Dahenglong flag, a famous soldier galloped, and a battalion of battalions assembled.

In the Mongolian camp, it was the same scene, the Mongolian iron cavalry was galloping, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded through the sky and the earth.

Under the dark sky, amidst the flying snow, the two armies gathered, hundreds of thousands of troops stood facing each other, and the strong intention of killing filled the world.

The howling wind seemed to have stagnated quite a bit amidst the thick killing.

winter!winter!winter!

At some point, the silent war drum sounded again!

The blood, at this moment, is boiling with the drums of war!

"kill!"

"Kill the thief!"

The repressed fronts of the two sides also broke out completely under this dim sky!

Iron cavalry, like unstoppable sharp spears, flew out from the camps of both sides!

Cannonballs, like meteors and fire rain, criss-crossed across the sky, whizzing towards the camps of both sides!

"Wind! Wind! Wind!"

The infantry advanced, and between the large shield chariots were advancing, there was an army of muskets walking with guns in their hands. While shouting loudly, guns with guns aimed at the Mongolian cavalry charging from the opposite side.

The cavalry marched and charged, arrows rained down all over the sky, blades collided, limbs were broken, and blood and fire, on this vast battlefield, were constantly being staged every minute.

collision!

One collision after another!

Snowflakes, stained with blood, bloom in this silver-white world!

The color of the snow was also soon dyed blood-colored, glaring and hideous amidst the brilliance.

After several months of stalemate, the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops finally broke out in this desert between the white snow!

On the general's platform, under the banner of the Son of Heaven, the battle armor has been stained with white frost, and Li Xiu stared at this magnificent and bloody battle indifferently.

The soldiers are not normal, even if it is him, it cannot violate the basic laws of the world.

In the stalemate for several months, he has done the best of all the preparations he can make. Coupled with the unexpected Shanhaiguan victory, although this battle is not as absolute as winning, for him, there is These are enough.

Besides, Lin Danhan is too careful, too careful to be cowardly!

A little movement is like a bow and snake shadow, there are nearly 20 cavalry in the sky, but under such a state of mind, it is difficult to exert the power of 20 cavalry!

Attack, attack, attack!

Lin Danhan, with such a state of mind, will inevitably make mistakes.

In the wars of this era, no matter what the famous generals are, in fact, the key to the victory or defeat of a war does not lie in any ingenious tactics, but in who makes fewer mistakes and who can make up for them in time.

In a battle of this scale, hundreds of thousands of people fall every moment, and with the sacrifice of these soldiers, the loss of troops will naturally cause weakness to the strategic arrangements of both sides. The place, the flaw.

The original communication method also led to the extremely unsmooth connection between the various ministries.

It depends on who can avoid these weaknesses and flaws, who can discover these weaknesses first, and who can make up for the weaknesses and weaknesses as quickly as possible.

Whoever reacts slowly, or makes a mistake in the strategic arrangement, will naturally lead to disadvantages in the overall battle situation, and these disadvantages will accumulate little by little until the qualitative change, that is, the overall collapse and the defeat of the army!

This is the war of this era, and also, the essence of war.

Even the information warfare of later generations revolves around this point.

In the past, under the threat of Hou Jin's flanks, he naturally did not have the basic conditions for a decisive battle.

After all, when all the troops were mobilized, Houjin made a surprise attack, even if he used his troops like a god, it would be difficult to recover from the situation of being defeated.

Now, the conditions for the decisive battle are barely established. It depends on who is better, Li Xiu or Lin Danhan!

"kill!"

"Daheng Wannian!"

One by one Daheng or Mongolian soldiers fell, and one after another filled the vacancies.

Under the general trend of this decisive battle, no one has room to back down!

Billowing fire and gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the roar of firecrackers, artillery, and trebuchets resounded through the sky, and bullets pierced the sky, recklessly reaping the lives of the soldiers on both sides.

The sound of rumbling war drums is also constantly ringing on this battlefield, like the roar of mountains and tsunami, resounding through the sky!

"Kill the enemy!"

When the cavalry collided, the short guns fired and the long knives swung, and the blood bloomed accordingly!

Between the non-stop life and death honing at this moment, it is obvious that he has a bit of demeanor!

The collision of the cavalry was decisive, and there was no way out.

On the vast and stretching Gobi, cavalry troops collided one after another!

What kind of shooting tactics, what kind of surprise attack technique, in the case that the cavalry on both sides are not weak, it has no effect at all.

All you can do is fight head-to-head!

Under the dispatch of the commanders of both sides, armies threw themselves into this bloody field of Shura. In the fierce battle that lasted every second, the snow had long since disappeared.

Shouting, screaming, howling, roaring...

In just a moment since the battle started, this pure white world was already infested with thick blood.

And the war is not only here in Datong, but also in Yanghe. Huang Degong, who was ordered to lead the army to support him, also collided with Houjin, who was ordered to stop him. Under the strict orders of the commanders of both sides , the soldiers on both sides have no room to retreat, only crazy offense and defense!

"General, Your Majesty has a decree that your department must arrive at Yanghe within five days to support the trilateral governor's department!"

There are messengers holding the command flag high and drinking.

"I will obey the order!"

Huang Degong wiped the blood on his face, took the command flag, and looked around the army: "Did you hear that, His Majesty has already issued an order!"

"Pass down the order, all the guards will move closer to the Chinese army, join forces, and let's fight out with fists!"
