Chapter 243: Surprise Attack on Liaoyang! Nahachu Is in Trouble!
Hongwu tenth year.
Late August
The whole land of Liaodong is lush and green, with endless mountains and forests and vast green grasslands.
On the ground, everything is full of vitality.
The eagles that live on the top of high cliffs and soar in the sky like this season the most.
They don't need to snatch food from the tiger's mouth and rob the lambs raised by herdsmen.
The rich land of Liaodong will breed and reproduce countless prey every season.
An eagle with a wingspan of more than one meter, looking down at the ground, with sharp eyes, searching for prey.
A group of wild yellow sheep rushed out of the forest in fright, and the rushing movement startled the eagle.
Soon, the eagle set its sights on a lone lamb.
Cry!
In the joyful cry, the wings folded, and it was about to swoop down...
But at this moment, a cavalry slowly appeared on the road in the middle of the forest.
This creature with strange "three-piece" hair is very dangerous. They will throw out strange "sticks" with spikes, which often shoot them down.
Many of his companions were also captured by these dangerous creatures.
They were trained by these despicable creatures to become slaves who lost their pride and were driven by them.
Those companions forgot the vast blue sky and the dignity of the strong!
They lowered their proud heads!
Just to be able to eat the delicious food provided by these despicable creatures comfortably.
The eagle's retracted wings instantly stretched out and circled up, "Despicable dangerous creature, I'll give you a pile of shit!"
With anger, the eagle circled up, and a lump of white sticky pulp squeezed out from under its tail feathers...
Pah!
Accompanied by Li Fangguo, Nahachu rode on the side of the team and suddenly felt the top of his head cold and wet...
He frowned slightly and reached out to wipe it.
He bent his arms and retracted his hands, looking at the smelly white pulp in his palms, his face turned black instantly, and he looked up at the sky...
In their Mongolian tradition, bird shit hitting the head is not a good thing.
It is a sign of impending misfortune.
It is a warning from Changshengtian.
‘Changshengtian’s warning? This king has tied his pockets tightly, and the three armies have spread out to form an airtight net, crushing the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty from west to east. A thousand people, how can there be any changes? ’
He has received news that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty has conquered Tongyuan Fort, where his direct lineage is stationed, and is resting in Tongyuan Fort.
And he not only used three armies.
There are also Liaoyang, Benxi, and Fushun, from north to south.
He just wants to squeeze Zhu Di to the vicinity of the Yalu River.
The direct lineage and tribes to the east of Tongyuan Fort have almost received his orders.
These direct descendants and tribes would monitor, squeeze, chase, and force Zhu Di to follow his intentions and march towards the Yalu River.
…
On the side, Li Fangguo looked at Nahachu with his hands full of sticky bird shit, and lowered his head to try to hold back his laughter.
“Li Fangguo, tell me, if you were the fourth prince of Ming, how would you break this king’s game?”
Hearing this, Li Fangguo held back his smile, raised his head, and thought…
Nahachu glanced at Li Fangguo’s red face, his lips twitched, he wiped his hands on the horse’s mane, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the bird shit on his head.
“This king has mobilized almost all the troops that can be mobilized…”
‘Liaoyang! ’
Li Fangguo heard Nahachu muttering, and a place popped up in his mind uncontrollably.
Nahachu’s old nest Liaoyang!
Nahachu left 30,000 direct subordinates in his old nest. This time, in order to encircle and suppress the fourth prince of Ming, he directly mobilized 25,000 of them, and joined Fushun and Benxi to go south, compressing Zhu Di's space and forcing Zhu Di to be unable to go north.
Liaodong is too vast.
It is so vast that the Koreans drool at the sight of it.
Once the fourth prince of Ming, Zhu Di, goes north, or even rushes into the grassland, it will be even more difficult to encircle and suppress him.
At the same time, Liaoyang is also very empty at this moment!
The fourth prince of Ming has the ability to capture Gaizhou with a thousand people. If he can get close to Liaoyang, he will definitely be able to dig out Nahachu's old nest.
'No, no, no, it's impossible. The three armies coming from the north are unavoidable. The fourth prince of Ming can't reach Liaoyang at all, and does Zhu Di have the courage? '
Attack Liaoyang.
Whether it succeeds or not.
It is equivalent to slapping Nahachu hard, and spitting after slapping.
This will completely infuriate Nahachu.
It will only make the situation of the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty more difficult.
First of all, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty has no way to reach Liaoyang in this six-way squeeze. Even if he has, he will not dare to do so!
In the current situation, Zhu Di can only hope to delay time and wait for the Ming Dynasty to rescue.
After comprehensive consideration, Li Fangguo turned his head and said firmly: "Prince, Zhu Di has no other choice but to continue to retreat eastward!"
"If he dares to go north, he will run into the three armies of the prince coming from north to south. If so, the prince will soon see the head of a prince of Ming Dynasty."
'It seems that I am indeed worrying too much. In my territory, I have the advantage of time, place and people, and I have the advantage of military strength. How could there be any change? '
Nahachu's uneasiness caused by a pile of bird shit gradually disappeared.
He whipped and shouted: "Order the left and right routes, do not underestimate the enemy and rush forward. Continue to order the tribes along the way to send troops and slowly push forward for me!"
This roving tactic was invented by the Mongols.
How to restrain, the Mongols have the most say.
No time to rush.
We must fight a slow battle.
...
That night.
Tongyuan Fort.
Zhang Qu had just arrived.
Zhang Qi, who shaved his head and disguised himself as a Mongolian, returned.
In a dome inside the fort.
Zhang Qi took a big gulp of water and gasped slightly: "Brother Zhu, according to your instructions, we went north from Qingtai Valley and arrived at Liaoyang for about thirty miles. We met the Yuan army coming out of Liaoyang. I observed it and found that there were probably More than 25,000 people.”
"I headed east from Liaoyang again. When I arrived at Benxi, the Yuan soldiers from Benxi had already left..."
…
"Brother Zhu, what should we do now? Continue eastward?"
After saying that, he looked up at Zhu Di. At Qingtai Valley, Brother Zhu asked him to dress up as a Mongolian and go north to spy on Liaoyang and Benxi. At that time, he suspected that Brother Zhu was audacious and targeted the home of the King of Liaoyang.
But, is this possible?
Zhang Qu stood in the back and in the corner, secretly observing Zhu Di. He was curious about how capable the sworn brother of the family master was.
Zhu Di looked at everyone and focused his index finger on the location of Liaoyang on the map.
hiss!
Everyone immediately understood what Zhu Di wanted to do and gasped.
Tan Yuan glanced at his colleague and asked, "Mr. Zhu, why did you choose Liaoyang?"
Zhu Di knew that Tan Yuan was "praising" him, so he explained with a smile: "We have promoted more than a dozen tribes in a row before. In fact, we just wanted to anger Nahachu."
Let Naha rush to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them.
I never thought that this King of Liaoyang was as stable as an old dog.
Just an ordinary tribe.
Fortresses such as Qingtaiyu Fort and Tongyuan Fort are all direct descendants of Naha.
The direct line was wiped out, but Naha Chu was still as stable as an old dog.
The news sent by his eldest brother Zhang Yu showed that after Naha tightened his pockets, he opened a large net and overwhelmed the people.
The news Zhang Qi brought back further proved how tight this network was.
"No accident, Naha Chu wants to drive us east. To the east is the Yalu River at the end, and to the south is the sea. Both directions in the northwest are blocked by Naha Chu. By then, the area will be narrow, and Naha Chu will The network will only become denser."
Everyone immediately understood that they must not go north.
Zhang Qi frowned slightly, "As long as we can reach Liaoyang, it is not difficult to conquer Liaoyang..."
Liaoyang only has five thousand soldiers and horses.
Moreover, Liaoyang didn't seem to be worried about a sneak attack by their thousand people.
After the army left, they were also very relaxed.
Liaoyang does have reason to be optimistic.
The thousand of them had no choice but to hide their whereabouts and head north.
The two armies coming out from Liaoyang and Benxi formed a network.
The movement of a thousand cavalrymen was too great!
There's no way to avoid it!
"Brother Zhu, how can we reach Liaoyang?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly, stared at the map, and asked: "Brother Zhang, do you know all the tribes along the way from Tongyuan Fort to Liaoyang?"
Zhang Qi nodded solemnly.
Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh, "That's easy to handle. Next we go to Liaoyang. We will stop riding horses and become infantry!"
…
When riding a horse, you must take some roads.
The infantry army is different. They can directly cross some hills and forests. A thousand men are hidden in these mountains and forests. As long as they are careful, they can avoid the two armies heading south.
main.
Giving up riding, as long as they are not discovered by the herdsmen, Nahachu will not be able to track their whereabouts for a period of time.
The marks left by riding horses were too heavy.
"If we go out day and night, avoid the herdsmen along the way, and march on foot, the distance from Tongyuan Fort to Liaoyang is about two hundred miles. If we walk fifty miles every night, we can reach Liaoyang in four days..."
Fifty miles per night is a conservative estimate.
He couldn't guarantee the quality of Ming's army and whether it could march hundreds of miles at night.
But traveling fifty miles is definitely no problem.
According to Naha's speed, it would take at least four days to reach Tongyuan Fort.
When Naha arrived at Jintongyuan Fort, he noticed the clues and then traced them. They had most likely jumped behind the Liaoyang army and were quickly approaching Liaoyang.
"No one in Naha, or even the whole of Liaodong, would have thought that we would and would dare to give up our horses! So the net they weaved was mainly to guard against cavalry. The difference between infantry marching and cavalry marching is that everyone Soldiers must understand that there are many roads that cavalry cannot walk, but infantry can! "
"Before the earliest, we brothers were not cavalry, but solid infantry. We should not have lost the foot power of infantry marching, right?"
Zhu Di looked at everyone with a smile.
Everyone was stunned.
Don't say that Naha is unexpected.
Even they never thought that being surrounded by nomads would give up their war horses!
Once discovered, with only two legs, there is only death.
But this is a method that even our own people dare not think of.
It can increase the success rate many times!
Zhang Qi analyzed all the conditions and thought about it. At a certain moment, he suddenly looked up and said, "Based on the various advantages mentioned by Brother Zhu, this plan has a 60% chance of winning!"
Not to mention the current predicament.
It is a normal confrontation between two armies. As long as there is a 60% chance of winning, this battle can be fought!
Zhang Qi stood up immediately, "So I agree."
"We agree too!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
…
Hundreds of other households and bosses agreed.
After the consensus was reached, Zhu Di immediately ordered, "Then, start preparations immediately and set off tonight!"
Tan Yuan and others took the order and left.
When Zhu Di sent Zhang Qu away, he said, "Go back immediately and ask my eldest brother to send a group of soldiers to Tongyuan Fort overnight. After taking over Tongyuan Fort, close Tongyuan Fort and pretend to be our people..."
The Mongolian people in Tongyuan Fort had been driven away.
As long as the eldest brother's people came in and didn't go out, and the gate of the fort was closed, no one would find out.
Zhang Qu looked at him deeply.
Today he really saw the audacity of the fourth brother of the head of the family.
I'm afraid the head of the family would be shocked when he heard Zhu Silang's plan.
He nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhu, I will personally bring people to take over Tongyuan Fort in two hours at most. I will never let anyone find out that you have left in Tongyuan Fort!"
The herdsmen near Tongyuan Fort had already fled a hundred miles away in fear.
The distance from Tongyuan Fort to Qingtai Valley is enough for the cavalry to gallop for two hours!
"Thank you!"
After Zhu Di thanked him solemnly, he watched Zhang Qu leave.
Half an hour later
Zhu Di led his troops, abandoned his warhorses, switched back to infantry, and quietly evacuated Tongyuanbao.
Marched northward.
…
Qingtaiyu.
“What!”
Zhang Yu was startled when he heard Zhang Qu’s report, and stared at Zhang Qu.
See it! If I had told you, you would have dropped your jaw!
Zhang Qu smiled secretly and nodded seriously: “It is absolutely true. Mr. Zhu may have evacuated Tongyuanbao by now.”
Zhang Yu walked quickly to the Liaodong map.
Observing the tribal divisions, mountains and rivers along the way from Tongyuanbao to Liaoyang.
After a long time, he nodded slightly and murmured, “This ghost Lao Si is really daring! Abandoning warhorses in the territory of the Mongols!”
A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, “If nothing unexpected happens, Nahachu will be in trouble!”
Lao Si and his men can avoid herdsmen by hiding during the day and going out at night.
The biggest test left is to avoid the army heading south from Liaoyang.
As long as they avoid it.
Nahachu’s old nest in Liaoyang is over!
After conquering Liaoyang, are you still afraid of not having war horses?
At that time, Lao Si's group will transform into another group of cavalry that will give people a headache.
The nickname of Ghost Lao Si is really not a bit of water.
Thinking of this, he turned around and said, "You will lead your headquarters to Tongyuan Fort immediately. After entering Tongyuan Fort, restrain everyone. Whoever dares to open the gate of the fort or go out will be killed!"
In the next two days, Nahachu must be confused.
Buy time for Lao Si to jump behind the Liaoyang army.
...
Standing in the Qingtaiyu Fort, Zhang Yu watched Zhang Qu's headquarters leave, and smiled to the west, "Nahachu, you are unlucky to meet Ghost Lao Si!"
