Chapter 400: Battle at the Three Gorges Pass, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong Discuss at Night

Chapter 400 Battle of Sanxiakou, Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong discuss at night!

Four days later.

The army was sixty miles away from Sanxiakou.

The princes rode on horseback to accompany Xu Da.

Xu Da told everyone about the topography of Sanxiakou, "Sanxiakou is located in the eastern foot of Yinshan Mountain, in the middle of the southern part of the Mongolian Plateau, and just formed a gap about ten meters long and five or six meters wide. In the west of Yinshan Mountain, the terrain is steep, and there are shrubs and trees as obstacles. The defenders only need to send a small number of troops to control the Yinshan side of Sanxiakou..."

...

"The southern foot of the Mongolian Plateau in the east is not as steep as Yinshan Mountain, but the hills are rolling. Although the infantry and cavalry can barely advance in this terrain, the baggage with the army cannot move forward. , but the cannons cannot accompany the army forward. "

...

"In addition, this kind of rolling terrain is also very suitable for the elite cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to block the enemy. The enemy will definitely seize the undulating commanding heights first. We send troops from the bottom up, paying a heavy price to break through the Northern Yuan Dynasty's blockade and cross the mountain valley. What awaits us is the elite cavalry of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, occupying another commanding height and rushing down from a high place. This kind of terrain is very troublesome. If we bite it hard, we often have to pay a huge price! "

...

Zhu Su, Zhu Zi and others listened carefully.

Zhu Gui asked: "Taishan, if we are at the foot of the mountain, can we bombard it with artillery?"

His vassal guards stayed behind to build the camp and guard the food and grass that could not be taken away.

He followed.

How could such a learning opportunity be missed.

"No." Tan Yuan shook his head.

Zhu Su and others looked at Tan Yuan together.

Xu Da smiled and nodded, asking Tan Yuan to explain to everyone.

Tan Yuan gestured and said, "Our artillery fires directly. The Northern Yuan cavalry can avoid the artillery by hiding on the slope on the north side of the hill. If they send a small number of observation posts, once our cavalry launches a charge, they can quickly occupy the commanding heights. The prince named this tactic the reverse slope tactic. The prince said that the best way to deal with this reverse slope tactic is to invent a kind of artillery that can fire in a curved direction..."

"Like this..."

Tan Yuan's hand first raised up and then dropped, "Only when the trajectory of the artillery shells is in this form can the shells hit the reverse slope. If there is such artillery, it is easy to fight when the enemy uses this tactic. When the artillery battalion fires artillery to hit the reverse slope, the cavalry will rush forward with the artillery shells. When they rush to the commanding heights of the hill, the artillery battalion stops firing artillery, and the cavalry or infantry rushes..."

Reverse slope tactics?

Xu Da smacked his lips.

This name is very vivid and even low-level generals who can't read a single word can understand it as long as they gesture.

"Tan Yuan, Si Lang has written a new tactical book?" After Tan Yuan finished speaking, Xu Da couldn't wait to ask.

Tan Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Duke Wei, this is what the prince told us when he was free on the warship on the way back to the court."

"On weekdays, during the training in the Jilongyu camp, the prince would call the generals above the platoon to tell everyone some tactics in his spare time, mainly focusing on some tactics of the new army, and how to cooperate with cavalry, how to cooperate with naval warships, launch landings, etc...."

"For example, the prince proposed the use of fire guns and artillery. In the future, when defending the city, we must not only defend the city walls, but also combine the surrounding terrain and landforms to defend outside the city, forcing the artillery of the attackers to not threaten the city walls. Just like this attack on Zhangbei City, once the parapets of the parapets were blasted open by artillery, it would be very beneficial for the attackers to climb the city and break through the enemy lines..."

Xu Da and the princes listened carefully.

After hearing what Tan Yuan said, everyone understood.

The war thinking of the First Army Town had definitely left the Ming army far behind.

Qiu Fu asked curiously: "Tan Yuan, have you ever practiced the cavalry or infantry rushing forward accompanied by artillery shells that you just mentioned?"

Zhu Lao San was shameless.

He left him to lead the troops, and shamelessly followed Lao Si to attack.

Xu Da glanced at Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu was very talented in military affairs.

He could see at a glance that this tactic was valuable in winning the battle between the two armies in the wild.

Xu Da also looked at Tan Yuan.

Tan Yuan was being watched by everyone, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. He tried to suppress it, shook his head and smiled, "The prince called this tactic the coordination of cavalry artillery and infantry artillery. It was also proposed on the way back. It has not been trained yet. The prince said that this tactic is most suitable in large-scale field battles."

"And there must be enough artillery."

"It's best to set up a special artillery army with at least two or three hundred guns."

"The artillery should also be arranged in three sections..."

...

"I'm thinking that after we finish the Northern Expedition and return to Jilong Island, we will train this tactic and use it when attacking Luzon in the future..."

After hearing this, the corners of everyone's lips twitched fiercely.

This is too much!

Can a small country like Luzon gather 100,000 troops?

Even if it can gather 100,000 troops.

The First Regiment and the First Mixed Brigade of the Dongfan Army, with just the current tactics, more than 20,000 people, I'm afraid they can crush the 100,000 troops of Luzon.

Tan Yuan and his group actually want to use infantry artillery coordination on them?

But...

I don't know why...

Everyone was eager to try.

I really like this kind of overbearing fighting style.

I wish I could go there and be there at that time. Even if I don't participate in person, I can just watch from the sidelines!

'Damn you, Ghost Old Four! '

Qiu Fu was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

He wanted to quit his official position in the court and follow the devil Lao Si.

But he couldn't do that.

Doing so would destroy the relationship between the court and Lao Si.

It would also be irresponsible to the Liaohe Guard and the group of old brothers who followed him.

Xu Da looked deeply at Tan Yuan, who was full of confidence.

If Si Lang was allowed to train a new army like the First Army of the Five or Six Regiments.

And cooperate with a few mixed brigades.

I'm afraid that Lao Si really has some ideas about the Ming Dynasty. Relying on their new war concepts that emerge in an endless stream, they can force the court to be stretched to the limit.

No wonder, this time, after Si Lang came back with the First Army Regiment.

The prince's implicit attitude towards Si Lang changed so obviously.

Just imagine.

Six new armies of the six regiments, with a few mixed brigades.

Gather 100,000 elite troops.

Hundreds of artillery pieces.

Infantry and artillery cooperate, and the court will set up a battle to win the battle in the wild.

Can the court's current troops win?

"Tan Yuan, I heard that Luzon's territory is not small. In addition, my father promised that all the prisoners in this battle would be given to my fourth brother. Once Luzon is conquered, my fourth brother will definitely establish a country, right?"

"Have you heard from my fourth brother what country name to use?"

...

When the princes heard Tan Yuan mention the battle of Luzon, they couldn't wait to ask.

At Zhangbei Camp.

The merits of the fourth brother and the brothers of the First Army were deliberately suppressed by the people of the eldest brother system.

When they went to comfort the fourth brother.

Just outside the fourth brother's tent, I vaguely heard about the founding of the country.

But I didn't have the courage to ask.

For a while, everyone was asking about Zhu Di's founding of Luzon.

...

The Three Gorges.

"Report! Report! Report!"

When Mahamu was leading Nahachu and others along the Yinshan Ridge, explaining his deployment of troops.

The scouts sent out returned, using their hands and feet to go along the hillside to the ridge.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince of Ming's detachment has arrived sixty miles away!"

"They came so fast!" Taiping joked with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

Nahachu laughed very conservatively, waved his hand, and after sending away the scouts, he said: "Mahamu, continue to talk about your ideas."

Mahamu nodded and continued: "On the Yinshan side of the Three Gorges Pass, we can put an elite infantry, just 10,000 people will be enough..."

Nahachu saw Mahamu looking at him.

Knowing Mahamu, he wanted him to provide this elite infantry.

In the Battle of Zhangbei, 30,000 people defended the city.

After the defeat, more than 20,000 people escaped.

About 7,000 or 8,000 people were lost.

The loss was not too big.

He originally planned to fill in all 30,000 people.

I thought it would be a tense battle.

Unexpectedly, the first town of Zhu Silang's army broke the city so quickly.

"I will lead this elite infantry, 5,000 musketeers, 3,000 archers, and 2,000 sword and shield soldiers, but the artillery cannot be transported, and I have to keep the remaining 20 artillery pieces to defend Helin."

Zhangbei battle.

More than 30 artillery pieces were all lost to the Ming Dynasty.

Now, there are only more than 20 artillery pieces left in his army of more than 100,000.

Not as many as the artillery battalion of the first town of the army.

After retreating to the grassland, iron became a scarce commodity.

And their method of casting artillery is also very backward.

They still use the method left by the court when it ruled the Central Plains.

Just make the artillery as large as possible.

In addition, there are not many craftsmen who have been recruited to the grassland after retreating from Liaodong.

Even if we use this heavy artillery now, the casting speed is also very slow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mahamu smiled and clasped his fists to thank him, and continued to introduce: "Without artillery, I have thought of a way to make the artillery of the fourth prince of Ming unable to exert its power..."

Nahachu raised his eyebrows.

Others also looked at Mahamu.

Mahamu pointed to the shady side and smiled confidently: "The artillery is direct fire. As long as our soldiers climb on the shady slope, they will be fine. When the Ming army infantry launches an attack and reaches the halfway point of the mountain, we will quickly rush down from the top of the mountain and give a thundering blow from the terrain. At the same time, the two sides will quickly entangle each other. The artillery of the first town of the army will be useless, unless the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty does not care about the lives of his own soldiers!"

Nahachu and others' eyes lit up.

Nahachu looked at Mahamu deeply, raised his hand and patted Mahamu on the shoulder, and looked at everyone again, "You are all young wolf cubs of our grassland, the new generation. You are ambitious, you are full of blood and courage, grinning, looking around like an eagle and a wolf, hungry to swallow everything that can strengthen you..."

Mahamu and others were slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, Nahachu actually broke this thin paper in public.

…

"The only armored elites that can be gathered in the entire grassland are the 600,000 gathered in this battle. You should know that these elites were brought to the grassland from the Central Plains during the retreat..."

If these 600,000 elites are lost.

The grassland will never be able to gather such a strong elite force again.

"If you fail in this battle, even if you can still retain your tribe and survive by paying homage to the Ming Dynasty, you can never think about it again. Each of you has 50,000 or 60,000 armored elites. With your tribal output, it is already the limit to support 20,000 or 30,000 elites!"

"All, I hope that in this battle, you will put aside all your ambitions and calculations and defeat the Ming army! Once the five hundred thousand elite Ming army collapse in the depths of our grassland, they will be a group of lambs to be slaughtered. The Ming army's artillery, Fire guns, army craftsmen, armor, this wealth is enough for you to grow..."

…

He knows it very well.

This time, after defeating 500,000 elite Ming troops.

The grassland will never usher in glory.

It must be the time when these young wolf cubs are attacking each other and the royal court has completely lost its majesty.

But he still hopes.

In this battle, everyone unites as one and goes all out to defeat Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming Dynasty lost 500,000 elites.

Within ten years, they would not be able to march north again.

With more than ten years of civil strife in the grassland, it should be possible to choose a new hero to replace the Golden Family.

After a group of young people from Mahamu looked at each other, they touched their chests and said solemnly: "Don't worry, King Liaoyang, we will definitely not have any selfish intentions in this battle!"

"good!"

Ha ha……

Nahachu immediately raised his head and laughed heartily.

It's not in vain for him, an old wolf in his old age, to set an example and pay his dues.

Where is the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?

He led the Army's First Town, a group of new recruits with no actual combat experience, to engage in an offensive and defensive battle like Zhang Bei's in the first battle.

He is also setting an example.

Did his example work?

he does not know.

But he knew the elites of the Central Plains.

Back then, he had met military commanders and scholars from the Central Plains.

The elites of the Central Plains are full of selfish desires.

They can for their own benefit.

Do anything that goes against your moral beliefs.

‘Fourth Prince Ming, I guess, your example has not worked! ’

The smile on Naha's lips grew wider.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty came fiercely.

But the time, place and people are favorable.

They all have certain advantages.

Zhu Silang is willing to pay alone, what's the use?

On the contrary, Zhu Silang's 'foolish energy' will drag him to death!

…

West of the mouth of the Three Gorges, south of the Yinshan Mountains, two hundred miles away.

A large army, with half of the soldiers riding in carriages, running wildly in front, and half of the soldiers following the generals at all levels, running silently on the slightly muddy yellow grass after the snow melted.

"Work harder!"

"Brothers who can't hold on, don't be afraid of embarrassment, take the initiative to report, and go to the front to take a carriage to rest!"

…

Zhu Di and generals at all levels stood on the side of the queue, running forward and back to cheer and encourage the brothers.

Each of the generals looked paler than the soldiers.

Running forward and backward like this along the way, the distance they ran was several times that of ordinary soldiers.

In Army First Town.

In terms of various skills, they are not even as good as ordinary soldiers.

It is impossible to become a general.

Team officers only need to manage their own queue, run before and after the queue under their jurisdiction, check the status of each brother, and make the most appropriate judgment.

The pipe leaders have to run in front of and behind the four teams under their jurisdiction.

The physical exertion is several times that of a team officer.

And so on.

The more senior an officer is, the more miles he has to run and the greater his physical exertion.

The higher your own quality requirements!

Ta-ta-ta...

In the shouts.

The sound of rapid horse hooves came.

Zhu Di stopped and followed the sound.

The scouts came galloping on horseback.

Thirty steps away, he loosened the reins of his horse, jumped off his horse, and trotted to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, there is a passage leading to the back of Yinshan Mountain thirty miles ahead. However, there is a small tribe stationed there. Near this passage."

Zhu Di turned around and ordered Zhang Wu, "Order the soldiers to rest on the spot. Let's work together in the evening to control the small tribes in front first, and then go north!"

…

After Zhang Wu received the order, he took the reins of the horse from the soldiers, got on his horse and went to deliver the order.

Soon, the rapidly advancing array stopped.

The soldiers rested on the spot.

After hastily eating some cold pancakes, they huddled together in groups, wrapped in military blankets, and rested.

Soon, the sound of snoring became louder.

Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng, and several leaders gathered together.

The map is spread out.

Xu Huizu served as a staff officer.

Quickly holding a wooden ruler, based on the scout's report, he measured on the map the location of the road leading to the north ahead.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The imperial court's overall picture of the grassland is really too rough."

He had seen the army's first town staff collect and draw maps of Luzon, Champa and other countries.

That's called a military map.

Not only does it mark the river.

Even villages, tribes, wells, and even places where coconuts are abundant and can provide water sources for the army are marked!

In contrast, look at the entire grassland map of the imperial court.

It is more than two hundred miles west of the mouth of the Three Gorges and nearly three hundred miles away.

There is a road that can barely pass for the army to go north, but it is not marked.

Zhu Di patted Xu Huizu on the shoulder and said, "When you are transferred back to the Central Government, you can draw up a comprehensive and more detailed military map."

With that said, let’s end this topic.

Pointing to the passage marked on the map, he said: "Tonight, we are going north. Once we go north, the speed will be even faster..."

More than two hundred miles, close to three hundred miles.

The brothers ran for four days.

That’s sixty or seventy miles every day.

Once you go north, you can't.

Beiyuan basically evacuated all the tribes south of Yinshan to the north of Yinshan.

Once north.

Their whereabouts are very likely to be exposed.

Even if the army is not directly discovered by the tribes in the north.

The herdsmen of the tribe would definitely be able to detect clues from the horseshoes and ruts left behind after the army marched.

Therefore, once you go north, you must hurry! quick! quick!

When these small tribes reacted.

Rush to the back of the Three Gorges mouth in one breath.

Moreover, we must launch an attack immediately!

"It will take us four days to go west. After going north to Yinshan Mountain, we will turn back east. It is best to complete it within two days. The shorter the better. Of course, we must reserve the physical strength for the brothers to fight..."

Zhu Di looked at everyone.

Zhou Xianjue patted his chest and said with a confident smile: "Your Majesty, it is not too difficult to travel more than a hundred miles every day, not to mention the carriage. We will see at the end of the day, we can limit it to a day and a half, leaving half a day to get close to the mouth of the Three Gorges." After that, he hid for a short time and gave the brothers some time to rest..."

Zhu Di listened silently.

He knows the sole skills of the Army's No. 1 town.

For several years, they trained twenty miles every day. Not to mention the horse-drawn carriage, even if they were all on foot, they would definitely be able to complete the attack in two days.

…

That night.

The first association defeated the small tribe.

They tied up all the surviving people of the tribe and left thirty scouts to watch. After plundering all the horses in the tribe, they successfully made their way north through the rugged and barely passable narrow passage.

Come to the back of Yinshan Mountain.

It's already midnight.

Zhu Di stood by the roadside, watching the soldiers wearing stars and moons, and began to rush back with a roar.

Look up...

…

The next day.

South of the Three Gorges mouth.

Xu Da arrived with his army.

Zhu Di's handsome banner.

Tan Yuan wore Zhu Di's four-star epaulette and pretended to be Zhu Di.

Everyone gathered around Tan Yuan.

Tan Yuan looked at Xu Da beside him, "Wei Guogong, give the order."

Xu Da stared at the terrain ahead.

To the east are rolling hills and hills.

To the west is the Yinshan Mountain, which is steep and densely covered with shrubs and trees.

The hillside was originally steep.

Trees and shrubs add to the obstacles.

There are still patches of snow that have not melted.

The wind blowing from the north blows in your face along the entrance of the Three Gorges. Even if you are five miles away, you can feel the wind like a knife.

If it is a strong attack from the front.

Want to capture the mouth of the Three Gorges.

I'm afraid at least ten thousand people will have to sacrifice, or even more.

The scout reported that 60,000 Beiyuan cavalry were stationed thirty miles to the east.

It's clear, they just want to wait until their attack is exhausted, in an attempt to make a big profit!

At the mouth of the Three Gorges, we defeated or even completely annihilated this partial division.

If it hadn't been for Shiro's suggestion, he would have gone around to the back of the Three Gorges mouth and attacked quickly.

This battle is not easy to fight.

"Tongzhi Tan, fight now, before Fourth Brother reaches the back of the Three Gorges mouth?"

Zhu Gui asked confusedly, interrupting Xu Da's thoughts.

Xu Da shook his head helplessly.

These princes have no experience in leading troops, which is clearly exposed from the son-in-law's words.

Tan Yuan explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, first of all, we have to attract the attention of the Yuan army on the other side. If we come to the mouth of the Three Gorges and don't attack, the other side will inevitably become suspicious. If the other side is cautious and sends out cavalry, in case they find the prince's attack. The prince is very dangerous. We not only have to fight, but we have to fight hard, hard, forcing the other party to spend all their energy on paying attention to us..."

…

"Finally, this battle also just allows the prince's vassal guards to fight a few rounds in turn. You all, more or less, according to the prince's original military training manual, deployed a large number of firecrackers in the army. The different weapon configurations, the new The use of tactics requires familiarity with actual combat..."

…

The acting king is not only the prince's brother.

He is also the prince's brother-in-law.

Although these princes lack experience in leading troops.

But among the generals who held military power in the Ming Dynasty.

I am afraid that these princes are the only ones who have no objection to the prince.

He doesn't mind teaching more and forming a good relationship with Wang Ye and Dong Fan.

What's more, this time the prince led a partial division, in addition to attracting Beiyuan troops.

There is also the purpose of teaching the princes.

Of course, we must take advantage of such practical opportunities.

Wait for Tan Yuan to finish speaking.

Xu Da turned to Zhu Ju and others, "Qiu Fu Daliao River Guard serves as the general reserve. All the cavalry guards have gathered together. Under the command of Qiu Fu, they will coordinate with the Army's First Town to defend the east of the Northern Yuan Dynasty against possible raids by the cavalry."

"The infantry of the other vassal kings will attack for two hours each, with King Zhou as the leader. You can discuss the attack, and I and Tan Yuan will serve as your advisers!"

…

Zhu Zhu, Zhu Zi, Zhu Gui and others were immediately shocked.

They all understood that Xu Da was training them.

"yes!"

After everyone accepted the order in unison, they began to take action.

Soon, Qiu Fu led the Daliao River Guards, the Army's First Town and Second Association, the Cavalry Biao, and the vassal guard cavalry to form a formation east of the Three Gorges mouth.

The civilians began to build a large camp.

The vassal guards gathered west of the mouth of the Three Gorges, facing Yinshan Mountain.

The war is about to break out.

Zhu's vassal guard took the lead in attacking.

In order to feel more clearly, Zhu Ru directly followed the attacking Qianhu soldiers and launched an attack.

The entire southern foothills of Yinshan Mountain.

The shouts of killing continued throughout the day.

That night.

The camp is five miles away from the foot of the mountain.

In the handsome tent.

Brother Zhu Zhu and others gathered around several long tables put together, looking downcast.

Everyone has more or less something colorful about them.

Someone's face was scratched.

Zhu Zhu even had his arms wrapped in white cloth and hung around his neck.

It's approaching dark.

The brothers gathered the most capable elites in the feudal king's guard, and the brothers personally led the team, a total of fifteen thousand people.

Stretch the front of the attack to the extreme.

This was done because, through the successive attacks during the day, they had figured out that there were only 10,000 Beiyuan infantry defending Yinshan.

The purpose of widening the front and wide is to dilute the opponent's strength.

And there were fifteen thousand of them.

Concentrate your forces on several points.

Try this way.

In one breath, rush to the top of the mountain.

Occupy three or four points, and then take advantage of the darkness to expand the results.

This time it did have some effect.

Rushed to two-thirds of the mountainside.

But in the end it failed.

Zhu Ru met Mahamu.

While his arm was cut by Mahamu, while retreating, he slipped on the snow and rolled down, breaking his injured arm.

"Actually, you princes, you have played very well today."

Qiu Fu suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Tan Yuan also nodded.

He also didn't expect that these pampered princes would be so brave.

Moreover, they can also think of widening the front and diluting Beiyuan's forces. Taking advantage of the offensive strength of 15,000 troops, they can concentrate superior forces on certain roads in an attempt to break through.

Although, it was under the guidance of him and Wei Guogong that he came up with it.

But even so, it's rare.

Not everyone has the prince's keen talent for leading troops.

Brother Zhu Zhu and others looked up at Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan, wanting to see if these guys were comforting them because of their status.

Zhu Gui didn't see anything strange and asked in a low voice: "Did we really do well? You didn't deliberately say nice things to comfort us, right? If you said nice things, you guys would act too similar..."

Xu Da laughed angrily and stared away.

Zhu Gui quickly shrank his head.

This is his Mount Tai!

He is a prince.

But if he is dishonest in front of Taishan.

No need for father.

Fourth brother must teach him a lesson!

Xu Da ignored this unattractive son-in-law.

What should I say about his son-in-law?

He has average qualifications and likes to have fun.

No ambition.

No temper either.

In the future, if one day the court cuts down the vassal vassal, or suppresses the vassal king.

Other princes might dare to resist.

His son-in-law would never dare.

Belongs to the kind of submissive character.

This is actually good.

If Miaoyin girl marries Zhu Gui, at least she will be safe.

Even if the prince were to become a prince in the future, because of Shiro, he would not be able to accommodate his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Zhu Gui did not resist.

At least life is safe.

He was certain.

If the prince wants to cut down the feudal vassalage in the future.

Definitely start with Zhu Gui.

the reason is simple.

The acting king Zhu Gui was Shiro's brother-in-law.

With this alone, the prince could use the people in the court who were hostile to Shiro to launch a fierce attack on Zhu Gui's status as vassal king.

Xu Da suppressed the worries about the future buried deep in his heart and said with a smile: "Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu are right. In this battle near the evening, you have done a great job. Today's progress is very obvious. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, it is better to think about Think about the difficulties you feel in this battle."

Zhu Rui looked at Xu Da and the others, "Third uncle, we really almost attacked tonight, but at that time the Yuan army on the opposite side suddenly charged harder. They suddenly invested the small amount of troops they had reserved and charged in from above. Once we got down, we lost our footing and the front began to collapse. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn’t hold on due to the terrain!”

When the army first arrived.

Although the slopes of Yinshan Mountain are steep.

But he observed that it was not difficult to go against the trend and rush upward.

After the actual battle.

Only then did they really feel how big of an advantage the opponent had when they rushed down the hillside and stood slightly higher than them.

"Yes, Third Uncle, I feel the same way."

"If we could hold on at that time, even if we retreat a little, hold on, and fight a stalemate, the whole army can slowly take a breath and then slowly counterattack, but the Yuan army rushed forward with a small amount of reinforcements, and the entire front was unable to stabilize. , the further you retreat, the less stable you become!”

…

The princes spoke one after another.

Everyone feels the same.

After the Yuan army invested a small amount of reinforcements, they rushed down and fell down, unable to stabilize at all!

Not even a chance to breathe.

Qiu Fu and Tan Yuan looked at each other and smiled.

Qiu Fu guided: "Princes, the difficulty you encounter is that you cannot stabilize. You princes can think of ways to provide a short respite to stabilize you!"

Zhu Xi and others frowned and looked at each other.

Then they got together and whispered to each other.

After a while.

Zhu Ju summarized the brothers' thoughts: "Third Uncle, this is what we think. Tomorrow, we will continue to attack in turns. When it gets close to dark, the elite soldiers gathered today will launch another fierce attack according to today's tactics. Wait for us When we attacked, we sent thousands of brothers to rush up the mountainside with pre-made planks and quickly built some bunkers between the trees that could accommodate a dozen people. In this way, we retreated and separated. If a part of our troops hides in them, they can block the Yuan soldiers rushing down. These bunkers can contain some of the Yuan soldiers, which may allow us to take a breather and buy time..."

Xu Da, Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu looked at each other.

Nod with satisfaction.

Tan Yuan smiled and said: "This is a good idea, but don't be too conservative. You only want to think about the brothers in the bunker, contain some Yuan troops, help you reduce the pressure and take a breather."

"You can lead the Yuan army to rush down the bunker. Then the brothers in the bunker, regardless of the Yuan army being restrained by them, rush out of the bunker. After carving out a passage, they can directly chase the Yuan army who rushed down first and rush down to form a Counterattack with firepower..."

Counterattack with firepower?

Zhu Ru and others murmured.

The scene described by Tan Yuan was pictured in his mind.

Ten soldiers per bunker.

Build a hundred bunkers halfway up the mountain.

When the Yuan army, which was chasing its defeated troops and rushing down the mountainside, was continuing its attack, a thousand of its elite troops rushed out and rushed down from the heights.

A thousand people may be able to play an unimaginable role.

The last attack this evening.

Mahamu only invested 500 reinforcements.

Their front was completely shaken!

Xu Da glanced at Tan Yuan and the army's first town general.

From these generals, there was a very calm look.

He could tell that the tactic of counterattack with firepower was definitely not proposed by Tan Yuan on the spur of the moment.

The Army's First Town must have been studying this for a long time.

I don’t know without contact.

More contact.

Only then can we discover more and more that the war thinking of Army No. 1 Town is very flexible and advanced.

Studying and pondering the direction is far beyond the court.

There are many experienced generals in the imperial court.

But the war mentality still remains in the past.

…

Xu Da sighed.

The more Zhu Ru and others thought about it, the brighter their eyes became.

Zhu Tong stood up suddenly, "Third uncle, for the last wave of attacks tomorrow, we will follow this method and use Tan Yuan's counterattack firepower. Perhaps, in this battle, without relying on fourth brother, we can defeat the people on Yinshan Mountain. The Yuan army ate it!”

Xu Da smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After getting Xu Da's approval.

Zhu Ru took his brothers and went to make arrangements.

A group of brothers walked out of the handsome tent and started talking excitedly.

"Fifth brother, let's pick out the most capable elites under our command tonight. These one thousand people must be absolute elites!"

"Fifth brother, eldest brother must have never imagined that we would have such an outstanding performance, right?"

"Lao Ba, let's finish this battle tomorrow. Big Brother will be shocked!"

"Second brother and third brother must be envious of us. This time we are following the fourth brother's side troops. Not to mention the desperate running of the fourth brother. What we learned today and what we will use tomorrow are all from the previous imperial army. I’ve never used it before. I’m sure it was the fourth brother who came up with it!”

…

That night.

Zhang Beicheng.

The main force of 400,000 troops and the 150,000 forwards commanded by Tang He, Lan Yu and Mu Ying have set off.

Zhu Biao remains in Zhangbei's temporary commander's residence for the time being.

study.

Hu Weiyong plays chess with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao stepped down and asked casually: "How about your firm setting up a shareholding system for workers?"

Hu Weiyong was secretly happy, and after making the move, he said implicitly: "Prince, I was quite resistant to the employee share system at the beginning. After all, giving 30% or even 40 to 50% of the share capital to some employees who spent a lot of money to hire, any businessman , I feel aggrieved and uncomfortable..."

He can make money.

That's his thing!

Why should we give it to those incompetent weaklings!

He can hire them and give them a bite to eat, which is already a gift!

Of course, you can't say this to the prince.

As for the future, he has figured out how to abolish the employee-share system.

Even if the imperial court implements a comprehensive employment share system, don't be afraid!

He can separate employees from businesses.

The employees were transferred to Yahang, and Yahang established a worker-share system.

Yahang sent employees to work for his business.

He has a cooperative relationship with the dental industry.

He has nothing to do with the dispatched employees of the Yahang Employment System!

In this way, the best interests can be left in his hands.

He called this method the dispatch system!

Wait until the prince ascends the throne.

He encouraged Fujian to do this!

Destroy Zhu Silang's hard work!

Prompting, Zhu Silang became angry towards Daming!

Of course, Emperor Zhu would not do this in his dynasty.

…

Zhu Biao listened carefully, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Hu Weiyong, "Fang Xizhi and others persuaded Gu to support Huangshang to establish a shareholding system for employed workers on a small scale to avoid too much resistance and counterattack. The shareholding system introduced the style of employing workers into the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty. What do you think of this method? "

‘Of course a method is a good one, but everything ultimately depends on the person who does it and executes it. ’

Hu Weiyong ventriloquised and said with a smile: "I support this method, Prince. Even if the court is slow, it must release some attitudes in an orderly manner to give the people hope..."

Foolish people are like cattle.

A carrot should be hung in front of their heads.

Whether to feed them or not depends on the situation.

But the animals must not be left without hope.

Of course, people like him are just like beasts, so they can't talk to the prince.

No matter how this prince changes.

How does the brotherhood with Zhu Silang develop?

He certainly cannot accept his argument that the common people are just cattle.

I want to be reused by this person.

If these are not in line with the prince's thoughts, they must not be revealed.

…

Zhu Biao nodded while making his move.

After a while, Luozi smiled and said, "You lose!"

"The prince is strategizing, but the minister is not up to the task!"

Zhu Biao smiled.

He knew that Hu Weiyong had let him go.

There was no need to expose such flattery.

The relationship between the monarch and his subjects was appropriate.

There always needed to be something lubricating in between.

He stood up and walked to the window.

Squeak!

He pushed the window open.

The cool wind blew in his face, and he instantly became clear-headed.

He reviewed the situation silently.

He tested Hu Weiyong tonight, and what Hu Weiyong said.

Hu Weiyong followed him behind him.

Looking at Zhu Biao's back, 'This is not easy to fool! Emperor Zhu was a peasant, and he was really lucky to have such an excellent son, but he also had a monster like Zhu Silang! '

In fact, he had great ambitions.

He not only wanted to use the anti-Yan alliance to support Zhu Yunwen.

If the anti-Yan alliance succeeded.

His power would have the opportunity to taste the taste of the emperor.

But he didn't dare to have such an idea.

First of all, Prince Zhu Biao was not a stupid and foolish person.

Secondly, Zhu Silang!

Zhu Silang was not dead.

As long as he dares to steal the artifact.

Zhu Silang's new army and navy will surely flood into the Central Plains!

With Zhu Silang's influence in the Central Plains.

His Hu family will definitely be wiped out!

Even if Zhu Silang was dead at that time.

But as long as the power of Zhu Silang's lineage still exists.

Zhu Yongming can raise this flag!

Relying on Zhu Silang's influence, counterattack the Central Plains!

The people of the Central Plains remember Zhu Silang's kindness.

They will win the food and shadow from Zhu Yongming!

It has to be said.

Emperor Zhu, a mud-legged man, is really capable!

Zhu Silang's lineage went to sea and established a foundation.

As long as Zhu Silang's lineage does not rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

The throne of the Zhu family royal family in the Central Plains, no ambitious person dares to steal the artifact!

This is Emperor Zhu's calculation!

At a certain moment.

Zhu Biao suddenly spoke up, "Do you think that the fourth brother can take down the Three Gorges? The royal brothers, like me, have never led an army. They won't hold the fourth brother back, right?"

'Does the prince hope to lose, or is he worried about losing? '

Hu Weiyong pondered.

He should be worried about losing.

He is worried that the prince Zhou and other vassal kings will not perform well.

After all, the victory or failure of this northern expedition is directly related to the prince's prestige.

The prince indulged Chang Mao and suppressed Zhu Silang's reputation in the army.

But he definitely didn't want the partial army to be defeated and unable to attract the main force of the Northern Yuan Dynasty because of the prince Zhou and others holding back Zhu Silang.

It would be even more difficult for the main force of the court to reach Buyuerhai.

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a while, "Prince, I don't know much about the princes and can't provide advice to the prince."

The prince did not leave with the main force.

Now it seems that he should be waiting for news from the Three Gorges.

He is worried that the prince Zhou and others will not work!

He will hold Zhu Silang back!

Zhu Biao patted the window sill and sighed silently, "Then let's wait a little longer!"
