First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 156

In the face of his wife's reminder, Zhu Yuanzhang had a good idea. In fact, these days, Zhu Yuanzhang had already figured out the details of these generals of the Yuan army.

To say that they are rubbish, it is not necessarily, but to say that they are clever, it is not necessarily.

All in all, in Lao Zhu's view, it is a quite satisfactory level!

In fact, in the face of the four-sided siege of the Zhu Family Army, the Yuan Army did not fail to take advantage. They once dispatched 30,000 people and captured Jilong Mountain.

That is the time when Chang Yuchun missed the fighter plane, Lao Zhu exploded his lungs with anger, and kicked Chang Yuchun to Zhang Ximeng, making him take the blame and make merit.

Jilong Mountain is located in the north of Hezhou City, and the terrain is dangerous. The Yuan army stationed troops here, and then attacked Lingyang Pass northward.

In this way, the defense of the Yuan army became a line.

Originally, the Yuan army wanted to use Lingyang Pass as the basis, continue to attack north, directly attack Quanjiao County, and enter Chuzhou. In this way, the arm of Zhu's army was cut off, and Hezhou was their possession.

Even if they can't completely defeat the Zhu Family Army, they can still have an absolute advantage.

But the problem was that the Yuan army only captured Lingyang Pass, and could not move forward. Then there was news of Tongling's fall, which made people panic. Many Yuan army planned to return to Jiangnan immediately. Others felt that the victory was easy to obtain Can not give up.

Some people even suggested that since the red thieves crossed the river, the rear must be empty, which is a great opportunity to send surprise troops to raid the bandit nest in Chuzhou... Such a genius strategy was undoubtedly rejected.

If you want to die, hurry up and say, let alone how many Zhujia army there are, the Yuan army is already exhausted by the militia everywhere, and it is not such a way to find death.

The Yuan army quarreled endlessly, and it was difficult to make a decision, but Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the fighter plane and was ready to take the lead.

"The Yuan army stationed 15,000 cavalry soldiers at Lingyang Pass, which can be called elites, and 20,000 people stationed at Jilong Mountain, commanding a commanding location and occupying a favorable location. The remaining main troops and horses are all placed in Hezhou City."

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang and his generals, the Yuan army spread out at three points, forming a snake shape.

Lingyang Pass is the head of a snake, hiding fangs and thorns, and has the strongest attack power. Jilong Mountain is the neck, flexible and flexible, taking into account all directions. And Hezhou is a coiled snake body, with heavy troops and horses, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"From this layout alone, it is not easy to solve this Yuan army. The key point is where to attack..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his generals and smiled: "You all talk about it, talk freely, what do you want to do? manage?"

Everyone looked at each other, if Zhang Ximeng was there, he and Zhu Yuanzhang must have negotiated a decision, and the generals would be picking up leftovers to fill in the vacancies, and even the big ones would tell Zhang Ximeng their thoughts before the war, and let him help convey it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Ximeng is like an adhesive, it belongs to the role of lubrication... But he is not there, no one weighs it in the middle, if you have any opinions, you have to face Zhu Yuanzhang directly, the pressure is not small.

People like Miao Daheng, Fei Ju, and Tang Shengzong didn't dare to speak.

But Tang He was not there, not even Feng Guoyong.

Xu Da was the only one who could talk.

"Up, I think I can attack Jiming Mountain first?"

"Why?"

"That's what I think. Jiming Mountain is the best terrain. If it can be taken down, it will cut off the retreat of the Lingyang Guan Yuan army, and can look down on Hezhou. Tartars can only be at our mercy. This is also the case here. The seven-inch land of the snake!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "That's right, but I want to ask you, what if you hit Jimingshan first and the Tartars in Hezhou escape?"

Xu Da was suddenly startled, and he smelled a different taste in Lao Zhu's words: "Master, do you really want to wipe out these Yuan Tartars?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled lightly, "They crossed the river with ease, if we let them go, that's not our way of hospitality!"

Everyone was shocked now.

Judging from the comparison of military strength, it is already God's blessing that the Zhu family's army can defeat the Yuan army, let alone think of anything else.

Zhu Yuanzhang not only wanted to defeat the Yuan army, but also thought about annihilating them in one fell swoop. How could he have such a big appetite?

But everyone understands that there are thousands of people in the family, and there is only one person in charge. Since Zhu Yuanzhang has made a decision, they will go all out in addition to obeying, and there is no room for bargaining.

Xu Da was shocked. In fact, he also thought about it, but he didn't have enough courage to say it. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he immediately understood.

"Master, you mean attack and state?"

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Yuan Tartars, relying on the large number of soldiers in Hezhou, may not take us seriously. As long as they can take Hezhou as quickly as possible, the remaining two Yuan troops will collapse without a fight!"

Lao Zhu wanted to take the head of an admiral from the army of ten thousand horses, and he was specifically looking for the tough ones to attack.

The question is can this work?

"Master, how fast is the fastest speed? If we can't do it, wouldn't we be attacked by the enemy?" Xu Da asked courageously.

Lao Zhu pondered: "Let's think about it, it can't be more than two days!"

"Absolutely not!" Xu Da hurriedly waved his hand, "In the upper position, although the city of Hezhou is not large, but the Yuan army has a large number of troops, it is definitely not something that can be taken down in a day or two."

Lao Zhu smiled and suddenly said: "Then what if there are 400 return guns?"

"Back to the gun?" Xu Da was shocked, "When did we have so many back to the gun?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Don't forget Mr. Jia, he has been designing a new return cannon since last year, trying to have a longer range and greater power. Three months ago, it was finally determined, and then he mobilized materials from various places and requisitioned it. Skilled craftsmen, make it together. The entire Chuzhou requisitioned 8,000 people. The big guys worked day and night, and finally made a batch of Huihui artillery."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very moved. Speaking of which, he didn't do anything, but just divided the land equally.

What the people gave him in return was unexpected to Lao Zhu.

Take this production of Huihui Cannons for example, the people of Chuzhou scrambled to donate wood.

Someone brought the beams of the house to be built, and the old man brought the coffin board.

The soldiers refused to accept it, and the old man refused to accept it, so he burst into tears.

It doesn't matter if there is a coffin, you can dig a hole and bury it, but once the Zhu family's army is defeated. Let Yuan Tartar come back, and he will die without a place to be buried.

The common people can see clearly, it is because of their support that Jia Lu can successfully supervise the construction of the first batch of 400 catapults.

And unlike the previous trebuchets, Jia Lu has created a batch of big killers that can throw explosive packs.

This is nothing, Jia Lu used the excess wood to make five Lu bus.

That's right, it was the one that Jia Lu used to attack Haozhou, and now the Zhu family army is also equipped!

When Fei Ju, who had participated in the Haozhou defense battle, heard this, he stood up in surprise.

What? How long has it been?

How the feng shui turns, when I look back, the Yuan army is actually me!

But Fei Ju was also a little hesitant; "Master, when we were in Haozhou, Mr. Jia's tricks were useless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, "No matter how good something is, it needs to be used by someone! At that time, the Yuan army was intriguing. Although there were many people, it was a mob, and there were even more wastes like that. It's not the Yuan army, and it's not us who are defending the city... Let's ask the big guy, do you have the confidence to take Hezhou?"

"have!"

Everyone agreed with a bang, at this time, whoever persuades again will be the grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a decisive arrangement. He first dispatched Hua Yun to take the cavalry to Lingyang Pass as soon as possible, and combined with the militia, in any case, he had to hold back the Yuan army at Lingyang Pass and not let them go south.

Then he named Hu Dahai, "You are most familiar with the terrain of Jilong Mountain. We will give you 3,000 people, plus 10,000 militiamen, can you block the Tartars in Jilong Mountain?"

"Yes! Yes!" Hu Dahai patted his chest and said, "Please rest assured, even if we try our best, we will nail the tartar to Jilong Mountain!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled happily.

Hu Dahai is not only a strong general, but also absolutely obeys orders. It will not be long before he will be the right-hand man.

However, what Lao Zhu trusted most was Xu Da, and the main task of attacking Hezhou also fell on Xu Da.

But at this moment, Peng Zaozhu suddenly sent a letter, which passed by Miao Daheng and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Up, there is a group of local soldiers and horses in Xuyi. The leader is Deng Youde. His father and brother were both anti-Yuan fighters and died in battle. Deng Youde led his subordinates at the age of sixteen. He was very popular in every war. Now he is eighteen years old. There are nearly 10,000 subordinates. Now Zhang Shicheng occupies the land of Huaidong, we are guarding Huaixi, and soldiers and horses such as Deng Youde have no place to live, so Deng Youde decided to take refuge in the superior, and asked the superior to take him in. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little startled, but now, he actually despises the armed forces in these places. Zhu Yuanzhang is more inclined to rely on his own ability, honestly train troops, and really cultivate available confidants.

And once he is free, he will even take action to clean up these messy places.

In the territory under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, there can only be one Zhu family army!

This army can only obey one person, and that is him Zhu Yuanzhang!

This is an iron law that cannot be questioned.

It's just that Lao Zhu hasn't had time to implement it... The surname Deng came here at this time, and he was considered to be obedient.

"If that's the case, then accept it, but tell him that military discipline must be strictly observed, and no violations are allowed. After the war, we will arrange it in person."

Miao Daheng promised ~www.mtlnovel.com~ In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang had another new force.

Deng Youde is eighteen years old this year. He is very burly and handsome. This name may be unfamiliar, and his other name may be slightly more famous - his name is Deng Yu!

Strong generals and strong soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang is ready, the mighty soldiers and horses are heading in the direction of Hezhou. Among the Zhujia army, there are people who are pushing the tall Huihui artillery forward, one after another, making people Overwhelmed.

Seeing this scene, the old man of Zhu's army, especially the old red scarf who participated in the battle of Haozhou, almost cried. Back then, they were tortured by these people, and many brothers were beaten to death.

Now that they are equipped with Huihui Cannons, they can give back ten times the bullying they suffered at the beginning!

The big guy gritted his teeth and was gearing up, but he didn't know that there was a more terrifying Lu Gongche in bulk on the carriage behind, and at the end, it was the gunpowder bullet that Jia Lu painstakingly developed.
