Chapter 122: Zhu Yuanzhang, whose strength has skyrocketed
Zhu Yuanzhang personally led a group of tigers, wolves and ferocious beasts and launched a ferocious charge. The ferocity of this group of people was simply jaw-dropping.
One of Tang He's legs was pierced by an arrow, and his whole leg was stained red with blood, but he seemed to have no feeling. He ran wildly and used a machete to harvest the head wantonly.
Xu Da had been fighting fiercely for more than three days and was exhausted. But at this moment, he was actually full of vigor and vigor. He came out of the city and directly dispersed a team of ten thousand people.
The bandits led by Hu Dahai were born to be experts in fighting with the wind. He held a sharp ax in his hand, and he was possessed by the God of War. The evil ghost was reborn. No soldier could stop his progress.
The rest of Hua Yun, Fei Ju, Tang Shengzong, Feng Guosheng... none of them are brave enough. This group of people has strictly trained soldiers. Unless Genghis Khan is resurrected and leads his elite Mongolian cavalry, they may still be able to fight.
The Iron Cavalry of the Western Regions, which had only one piece of skin left at this moment, was definitely no match for the Zhu Jiajun.
Xuexue, the Privy Councilor, fled in a hurry. At first, he had thousands of people gathered around him, and he was quite capable. However, with the repeated attacks by Hua Yun, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang and others, Xuexue only had less than one of his cronies left.
Hundreds of people.
He is getting more and more panicked and embarrassed. How can a mere red thief be so arrogant?
Xuexue couldn't figure it out at all, but had no time to think too much, because the fatal thing was coming, and a large puddle suddenly appeared in front of him.
This is more than a hundred times larger than the one on the Zhu Jiajun position.
Xuexue and the others wanted to retreat to Gaoyou, but they happened to run into the area of Gaoyou Lake in later generations.
This area has not yet formed a complete lake, but scattered puddles stretching into the distance. The Yellow River breach has had a great impact on shaping the terrain of the entire Central Plains. Many famous rivers and lakes in history will never be seen in later generations.
Arrived, such as Jishui, such as Liangshanbo.
There are also many lakes created, such as Gaoyou Lake and Hongze Lake.
At present, Gaoyou Lake is in its gestation stage. In addition, the Yellow River is flooding and has deposited deep sediment.
On the surface, there may be only a foot of clear water, but underneath there may be a foot of mud.
Xuexue ran into this area in a hurry.
He just ran wildly, but did not pay attention to the horse's hooves getting stuck in the mud. The more he struggled, the deeper he got stuck. He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. It was broken and fatal!
The shouts of killing from the Zhu Jiajun were getting closer and closer.
When several of his subordinates saw this, they were so frightened that they ran away.
There were only a few confidants left, and they loudly reminded Xuexue to take off her armor quickly. If she didn't need a war horse, she could still escape... Xuexue had no choice but to take out the dagger, tremblingly cut open the silk ribbon, took off her armor, and when he
When my feet stepped into knee-deep muddy water, my hair stood on end and I cried from the cold.
It is still the first lunar month, and the land of Jianghuai is still cold, especially stepping in the cold muddy water is life-threatening.
Xuexue was frozen like a grandson, his legs were trembling, and after running a few steps, he fell heavily into the muddy water, which gave him a terrible feeling... Fortunately, there were still two confidants dragging him and running like crazy.
They escaped from a puddle, and the shouts of killing behind them were a little farther away. Xuexue was panting, and when she looked back, there were no more than 30,000 troops left. At this moment, Xuexue was heartbroken and out of spirit.
Even if you manage to escape with your life, so what?
Prime Minister Tuotuo will not let him go.
Thirty thousand people died in the battle, enough to chop his head ten thousand times!
These red thieves are too capable of fighting. If I am so miserable, what will happen to Timur first?
Xuexue suddenly realized that maybe Timur was already finished, and he had been killed by the red thief. If Tuotuo knew about it, he would definitely be angry with himself, and then it would really be two sins in one, and no one would be able to save him.
Can't reach him.
Xuexue is completely cold. If she returns to Gaoyou now, she is throwing herself into a trap.
"Go, go to Huai'an!"
Xuexue thought of the only way to survive. He ran to Huai'an first, and then impeached Tuotuo first, saying that he was incompetent in the military and that he lost his troops and generals all because of Tuotuo.
Don't worry about whether the court can believe it or not. Anyway, there are so many decent gentlemen in the court who feel uncomfortable looking at Tuotuo. As long as he is given an excuse, they will attack him in groups.
You can live on your own.
Xuexue made up her mind and said to the two people around her: "Escort me to Huai'an. Don't worry, as long as I get there, I will not treat you badly. Let's go!"
These three people fled in panic. Several times, they almost ran into the pursuing Zhu Jiajun. They took off all their armor and threw away any signs that could indicate their identity. The most dangerous one was when Xuexue and two of his subordinates
He hid in the weeds next to the quagmire, not daring to move, even holding in his sneezes, and finally managed to escape the search.
Xuexue is not young anymore, she was so cold that she even lost control of her urine.
After running for more than two days, they finally escaped the pursuit of the Red Scarf Army and found a house. The two men went in and found no one inside, so they invited Xuexue in to rest, and they found some rags.
clothes, and I stole a chicken from someone's house and roasted it on the fire without adding any ingredients.
This high-ranking official of the Yuan Dynasty ate the most delicious chicken in his life, recovered a little strength, and was about to leave... But just as they were leaving, a group of red scarf troops rolled in and happened to appear in front of Xuexue.
in front of.
At this moment, Xuexue was in despair. What evil had I done?
Why do the Red Turban Army still linger?
His two men were frightened when they saw this scene. They threw Xue Xue down and ran away. Xue Xue also wanted to run with him, but his legs were weak. After a few steps, he fell heavily to the ground. Gu
As a result, none of the three people escaped, and all fell into the hands of the Red Scarf Army.
Did Zhu Yuanzhang actually send people to chase him here? Is he thinking too highly of Xuexue?
Actually no, this group of Red Scarf Army is the team of Peng Zaozhu and Miao Daheng.
When making plans earlier, Xu Da suggested sending a partial division to attack Huai'an to attract the attention of the Yuan army and disperse the troops. This suggestion was implemented, but Xuexue arrived too early and had no effect, so Xu Da fell into a bitter battle.
Until Peng Zaozhu and Miao Daheng led their troops to attack, Xuexue was defeated miserably in Tianchang. On the way to Huai'an, she was actually captured by Peng Zaozhu and Miao Daheng.
All I can say is that Skynet is great!
Peng Zaozhu tortured the two guards and finally figured out Xuexue's identity!
"Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council! What a great official!"
Peng Zaozhu exclaimed happily and clapped his hands, "Old thief, listen, you will follow us now to falsely open the gate of Huai'an City so that we can enter smoothly! If you don't obey, I will cut you into pieces now."
One hundred and eight slices, just eat it with hot wine!"
Xuexue was so frightened that she couldn't control her urination. She even had a big one. She was possessed by the Meixi Sect.
…
After two consecutive victories, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. He was sitting in the sky, looking at the two rivers, and a sense of pride that he was in control of the country arose spontaneously.
In the past, Lao Zhu has always maintained a low-key style. He is completely different from those guys who are eager to become king. He manages his territory carefully.
Now, Lao Zhu's sphere of influence has finally taken shape.
Xiangbei, Huaiyuan, Haozhou, and Sizhou are all under the influence of Lao Zhu, which means that Lao Zhu pushed the defense line north to the Huaihe River, Xiangnan, Dingyuan, Tianchang, Chuzhou, and Hezhou, all the way to the coast of the Yangtze River
, almost the southeastern part of Anhui Province in later generations, all fell into the hands of Lao Zhu.
The total population of the four prefectures is close to one million.
No matter which angle you look at it, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Starting from just one bowl, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was like a dream to have such a large territory.
But Lao Zhu is a calm person after all. He must not get carried away. Even though he is winning so much now, the main force of Tuotuo is still in Gaoyou, with more than 300,000 people. If Tuotuo is desperate and invades Chuzhou, what will Zhu Jiajun's situation be?
Still critical.
In addition, the Yuan army in the south of the Yangtze River should not forget that if they take advantage of the situation and invade Hezhou, it will be very troublesome.
All in all, it was not time to take it lightly. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the soldiers to rest where they were, mainly Xu Da and Tang He, who needed repairs the most.
Especially Tang He, the injury on his thigh was very serious. Fortunately, the weather was cold, otherwise the wound would have been infected and the consequences would have been disastrous. Lao Zhu specifically ordered the military medical officer to treat him well. If there are any sequelae, he will be held accountable by the military medical officer!
At the same time, Lao Zhu sent Fei Ju and others to Liuhe, taking turns to strengthen defenses in preparation for hair loss madness.
Fifty thousand men were dispatched neatly and neatly. If they were sensible, they wouldn't be unhappy just looking for them.
If you dare to come, we will destroy you!
Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence was greatly improved.
Although the Yuan army's combat effectiveness was not very good, their equipment was solid, including war horses, armor, weapons, food and tents. Each of the Zhu's troops made a fortune.
There are almost 10,000 more war horses alone.
Hua Yun grinned even in his dreams. The cavalry battalion was about to be formed and no one could stop him.
If we expand our focus to the overall situation, the impact will be even greater.
In the front, Tuotuo claimed that a million-strong army was marching south, and the whole country was trembling with fear. No one was not afraid. Zhang Shicheng was unable to surrender even if he wanted to, so he gritted his teeth and held on to Gaoyou, finally stopping Tuotuo's momentum.
Then they attacked Liuhe, and 20,000 people were wiped out. After another battle, 30,000 people were wiped out.
This was no longer a siege. It was a wild battle, a confrontation between the two armies, and the Yuan army had no obvious advantage. Unless it could gather several times the number of troops, it would be possible to win in one go.
In other words, to attack Chuzhou, Tuotuo must dedicate at least 100,000 elite troops!
It seems that there are more than 300,000 people in Tuotuo's hands, and it is not difficult to divide 100,000 troops and horses, but in fact it is not that simple. How much supplies do we need to prepare for 100,000 people to eat, drink and relieve themselves?
The army has not moved, but the food and grass go first.
The attack on Gaoyou relies on canal water transportation. If one hundred thousand troops are sent to Chuzhou, how many civilians will need to be requisitioned, how many livestock and vehicles will be needed, and how many soldiers and horses will be arranged to protect the baggage...Every item needs to be prepared in advance, otherwise, ten
Wan Dajun just delivers food to Zhu Jiajun!
Does Tuotuo still have time to adjust the deployment?
It seems there aren't many left.
At the same time that Xuexue was defeated, on the 15th day of the first lunar month, three censors wrote a letter to impeach Tuotuo, saying that he had sent troops for three months, had no merit, wasted food and salary, and should be severely punished... The traditional arts of the Yuan Dynasty
Yes, it’s finally happening.
