932 Chuncheon Decisive Battle
Liu Xingzuo robbed enough wealth, but in any case, Liu Xingzuo was kind-hearted and did not carry out brutal killings of the people. Although Mao Long felt that he was still unsatisfied, he also felt relieved - nothing can be done too much
Otherwise, this army will not be able to gain a foothold in North Korea for a long time. This is what he does not want to see. With thunderbolt methods and a bodhisattva heart, this is exactly what he should do.
The generals gathered together again to choose the next target.
"The next target is Chuncheon, the capital of Gangwon Province. It has the fertile land of Soyang Lake. It is really a land of plenty." Mao Wenlong introduced the situation of Chunchuan in this way, his tone full of greed.
Such a biased introduction made the soldiers who had just gained the benefit of looting let out wolf howls again and again.
Liu Xingzuo covered his mouth and coughed softly to get his men back on track.
Mao Long also felt that what he said was a little off topic. This was not like the demeanor that a Wangshi coach should have, but more like a bandit leader. This was not good, and it hurt his tall image.
So he coughed, straightened his posture, and once again showed the demeanor of a marshal of the Ming Dynasty.
"According to the report from the detective team, Gangwon Province's left-behind supervisory department (observation envoy, equivalent to the chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty) has gathered all the soldiers of Gangwon Province, a total of 70,000, and civilians of 100,000, known as 300,000, and is preparing to fight with us in Chuncheon
Let’s have a decisive battle.”
Hearing Mao Long's announcement, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air, and the excitement they had just felt due to the victory disappeared in an instant.
The actual 70,000 rebels are definitely not a small number. In comparison, they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Another key point is that they are fighting away from home, and the enemy has the home field advantage. Not only will there be 70,000 rebels,
The rebels are ready. According to past practice, these 70,000 rebels are accompanied by at least 100,000 civilians to provide supplies. Everyone knows that civilians are responsible for transporting supplies in peacetime, but once a war breaks out, when their own troops are insufficient,
They will give them a wooden stick and let them charge into the battle. Although they have no combat effectiveness, although they are just a group of cannon fodder, if there are too many ants, they will kill the elephant. This is definitely not empty talk. Think about the enemy who is three times your own size.
And he was still inside the enemy's territory. Thinking about such an ending made one's scalp numb.
Looking at the somewhat fluctuating military morale, Liu Xingzuo felt his face was dull. He glanced at his men with authority and said firmly: "So what about 70,000 rebels? So what about 300,000 rebels? We are all the same."
The head and legs are just beaten, but I want to see whether our Fu Liao Army is more powerful or the North Korean rebels are more powerful."
The general's confidence was firm, and the slightly flustered military morale was stabilized.
The fierce general Liu Xingzhi stood up and loudly called for battle: "Commander, please give the last general a force. I am willing to be the vanguard and destroy the spirit of the rebels."
Mao Wenlong praised Liu Xingzhi's request for a battle, but rejected his request: "The enemy has gathered a large army and has a strong force. We are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If we send you to send troops alone, you will suffer a loss if you have fewer people, but you will suffer if you have more people."
Without dividing the troops, our overall strength will be further weakened. So I have decided now to leave 2,000 troops to guard Qingpingli and leave a way out for us. The entire army will press forward and fight the rebels in a life-and-death battle."
Judging from this arrangement, Mao Long actually had no confidence when facing 70,000 rebels and more than 70,000 civilians who could go to the battlefield at any time.
That's what happened. I originally thought that by capturing Cheongpyeong-ri, I could figure out the combat effectiveness of the North Korean rebels. But now I understand that the reason why Cheongpyeong-ri's defense is weak is because Gangwon Province stayed behind and divided the army here into two. Part of the army was transferred.
He went to Seoul and added Li Shi; after receiving news of the Ming army's attack, some of them were transferred to Chunchuan, where he ruled, to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army.
As a result, under such circumstances, the new Fuliao Army, whose morale was boosted, took Qingpingli with just a charge in order to show off, but it was not realized at all. Mao Wenlong was ready to have a chance to feel the enemy's strength and combat effectiveness. Now he
He still knew himself well but didn't know the enemy. He was still confused about the strength and combat effectiveness of the rebels, and his head was full of mush. So he reserved a way out. Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone turned around and ran back.
Burning the cauldron? It depends on where and under what circumstances. It is not worthwhile to go to North Korea to quell the rebellion for him, but to play the game of burning the cauldron yourself. Mao Wenlong is preparing to control North Korea, but he is not working for North Korea. This is the essential thing
, you must never overdo it. If you overdo it, you are putting the cart before the horse, and you will become a fool.
After the entire army heard that their retreat was safe, their morale became more stable because they saw that their commander was fighting differently this time. When the Fuliao army faced the Jiannu, their slogan was
, fight to the death for the sake of the elders behind us, and in every battle, entire battalions were wiped out for this slogan.
But now, the commander-in-chief clearly told everyone that if you can win, fight, and if you can't, run away. So the soldiers have confidence in their hearts. If they can win, they will win decisively. If they can't, they will just run away.
The army of nearly 50,000 people continued to march eastward in a mighty manner, with the goal of Chunchuan where the enemy was heavily concentrated.
Walking on a vast plain, although there would be no enemy ambush in such a place, Mao Wenlong still maintained the highest vigilance. The whole army pressed forward, resting at thirty miles and setting down camp at fifty miles, striving to be cautious and cautious again.
.Since the plain was wide anyway, he simply abandoned the marching snake formation and replaced it with square formations one after another, crushing towards Chunchuan. Although this formation was cumbersome, it could fight at any time. Now Mao Wenlong was extremely cautious.
.
It's not his fault, because he doesn't know the combat effectiveness of the rebels, and he knows that the combat effectiveness of this newly attached Fu Liao army is not even a bit worse than that of his own veteran soldiers. He must be cautious in everything.
Sitting at the top of Chuncheon Castle, Gangwon Province stayed behind, fanning the high-end Japanese folding fan in his hand, feeling relaxed and full of confidence in victory.
Looking at the 70,000 troops and the 100,000 civilians who were waiting to relax and work in a strict formation from the bottom of the city wall to the horizon, the Gangwon Province defenders were filled with pride.
Mao Wenlong attacked his own base. Such military information had already been reported to him, so he made the most urgent and safest arrangement. He mobilized all the troops that Jiangyuan Province could mobilize to fight here.
In the home battle, with an absolute advantage of 70,000 troops and 100,000 civilians, against the tall city wall of Chuncheon, they faced Mao Wenlong's 50,000 enemy troops.
Fighting here, I have the right time, place and people, and victory is already certain. As long as the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty supporting Li Zhu are annihilated here, and the entire unfavorable situation is reversed, there will be absolutely no problem. Once the new
The dynasty was established, and with this military achievement, he was sure to enter the House of Representatives.
I imagined that I was about to become one of the top tens of millions of people, and the more I thought about such a beautiful situation, the more relaxed and happy I became, and a sense of pride once again flourished in my heart.
At this moment, a rumbling and continuous thunder-like sound came from the western sky, and a cloud of dust grew from light to thick, and finally covered the sky and the sun, covering the entire western earth and sky - Mao Wenlong's
