Chapter 468: Zhu Yuanzhang, you don't talk about martial arts
Zhu Wenzheng knew Li Yanxian's name a long time ago, but how could he know the dangers of Shaanzhou if he didn't go to Shaanzhou? How could he know the difficulty of defending the city if he didn't go to Shaanzhou!
Having just experienced the Jingkang Incident, the Jin people were sharp and unstoppable.
Li Yanxian used scattered troops and weak troops to regain the key areas of Shaanzhou and carry 100,000 enemy troops. How heroic!
After eating all the military rations, he drank boiled beans to satisfy his hunger.
The city was broken and he did not want to be captured, so he jumped into the river to die.
The general is generous and the hero is tragic.
Zhu Wenzheng was standing in front of the Martyrs' Shrine, with the statue of Li Yanxian standing high on the city wall behind him. He was holding a wine pot in one hand and stroking his knees with the other, looking out of the city with a stern look in his eyes.
The general's majestic appearance is unparalleled in the world!
Such a remarkable person, if he were born today, I am afraid that among the princes of the Ming army, there must be one like him.
"My fellow soldiers, ask yourselves, we are far inferior to our predecessors. How lucky we are! We have the trust of our superiors and the support of all the people. We are determined to win and have the ambition to recover. General Li defended Shaanzhou with his determination.
More than 10 years... I am much better than General Li in everything, I want to ask you guys, can I still lose Shaanzhou?"
"Can't! Can't!"
"The soul of a dead person is still there, so defend Shaanzhou to the end!"
"Since Jingkang, General Li died for his country, and these great rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of barbarians. Now that we have regained our homeland, we will not be robbed of it even if we die."
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
In the city of Shaanzhou, in front of the Martyrs' Ancestral Hall, there were all shouts for war, which shocked the sky and inspired people... In fact, Zhu Wenzheng also said one thing wrong. In fact, after Jingkang, there were also people who regained Shaanzhou, and that was the first one.
The Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition at that time.
Li Wu and Cui De once captured Shaanzhou, and then fought with the Yuan army around Tongguan.
In the army, Fu Youde also led troops and entered Guanzhong.
But to be honest, where did the Northern Expeditionary Army at that time get such momentum?
Many people don't even know who Li Yanxian is or what happened in Shaanzhou... There are also many people who loot and make a fortune.
How different are their actions from those of the Mongols?
Now that I think about it, it’s embarrassing!
Some people may think that the Ming army always engages in these things, which is a bit pragmatic and belongs to the kind of rhetorical talk... But the problem is that it is a team, why call others to join it?
Can we only rely on coercion and inducement?
Obviously it doesn't work.
There must be a strong theoretical construction and a clear banner.
Only in this way can most like-minded people be united.
Sure enough, after the Ming army performed these actions, the people in Shaanzhou City accepted this unique group of troops. The people in the city began to actively help the Ming army, transport supplies, and repair the city defenses.
In return, the Ming army also distributed the food in the city to the people, and told everyone that if the Yuan army came to kill everyone, everyone in the city would have a ration.
Only when everyone works together can we win.
If the army and the people are united, they will be invincible.
Under this call, some elderly people came forward.
They pointed out several buried wells to the Ming army.
It turned out that due to constant pulling, many wells in the city were blocked for various purposes. The army could not do without clear water to defend the city.
Zhu Wenzheng was so happy that he immediately followed the instructions of the people and dug up the earth. Sure enough, he found more than a dozen wells... He prepared for the war and advanced quickly. No matter how many Yuan troops there were, they couldn't even shake Shaanzhou!
Zhu Wenzheng had someone send the most critical note, which was given to Feng Guo.
"Shaanzhou has been restored, let's work together to defeat the enemy!"
The messenger took this small note and went to deliver the letter as quickly as possible.
His eyes returned to Feng Guoyong. He and Chahan Timur had exchanges with each other several times, and finally reached an agreement to return Aruwen before he was angered to death.
As for Chahan, they indeed sent 50,000 people across the Yellow River. At the same time, they also allowed the Han and Song soldiers and horses in Kaifeng to go out of the city to cut firewood and survive.
Of course, they did not allow the Ming army to join forces with the people in the city, and Feng Guoyong did not insist. After all, it would be a little awkward for the two sides to meet at this moment.
Anyway, this is the situation. The specific situation depends on the situation.
"Okay, let's send Aruwen back first. Anyway, even if people pass by, there are ways to delay it."
Feng Guoyong made the final decision. In fact, he was mainly afraid that people would be so angry that they would be unable to deal with it. If Chahan went crazy, it would be a mess.
Ding Pulang was quite sorry that Chahan, the evil dog of the Yuan Dynasty, deserved to be exterminated and be infamy for thousands of years.
It would be too easy for Aruwen to send him back.
But who made Feng Guoyong the commander-in-chief?
In this way, with almost no twists and turns, Aruwen was finally sent back smoothly.
Chahan hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "Dad, are you okay?"
Of course Aruwen is fine, but when he thinks of the injustice he has suffered in the past few days, he wants to kill someone!
So Aruwen just snorted with his nose, turned around and walked back to the military camp.
As a result, Wang Baobao came up to meet him. Seeing that his father was looked down upon, he thought that his grandson would definitely be favored by his grandfather, so he quickly knelt down, raised his head, and said happily: "Welcome to my grandfather's safe return!"
grandfather?
Chahan's son should indeed be called that.
But the problem is that you are the child of my daughter, so you should call me grandpa!
Also, if you weren't such a bastard, how could anyone suspect that Chahan is not my biological son?
I am like a piece of clay that has fallen into my crotch. I was given a cuckold when I was old.
I, I’m feeling aggrieved!
In anger, Aruwen slapped his palm firmly. He opened his bow from left to right, and instantly ten fingerprints were stamped on Baobao's face.
They all deceived Wang Baobao, I was wronged!
Understand who is provoking whom?
He was indeed wronged, but no one cared about his feelings.
Because just before letting Aruwen go, a note was delivered to Feng Guoshan.
Faster than expected, Zhu Wenzheng had succeeded.
In this case, there is no need to hesitate.
After all, if Chahan's army is allowed to cross the river and return north, this pocket will be difficult to penetrate!
"Kill me!"
Feng Guoyong gave the decisive order, and Ding Pulang and Fu Youde immediately led two troops and horses to attack the Yuan army from both wings.
The two sides, who were originally in a harmonious atmosphere, suddenly started fighting.
Especially after Aruwen was successfully released, the Yuan army had already relaxed its vigilance.
As a result, they were caught off guard, with only a few scattered cavalry standing guard in front. Facing the sudden attack of the Ming army, these light cavalry were basically unprepared, and were crushed to pieces in an instant, turning into a pool of flesh and blood under the horses' hooves.
When the rest of the Yuan army saw it, they were so surprised that they even wanted to run away.
Wang Baobao, who was slapped, also wanted to protect his father and retreat quickly. Although he didn't know what the Ming army was doing, he had to protect his own safety first.
But just as Wang Baobao was dragging his father to turn around, he developed a pair of old eyes and was staring straight ahead.
"It's him, that beast!"
Aruwen instantly became furious, "Kill, kill him!"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot and he was panting like a cow... No one knew how humiliating and humiliating it was to be forcibly cuckolded these days!
Ding Pulang, that beast, kept interrogating me like a prisoner.
Forget it since I was a kid, I just watched women taking baths. How many concubines have I taken in now?
Are you feeling well? Do you feel like your kidneys are overdrawn?
Does the child you give birth to look like you?
Do you ever feel like you are similar to the people around you?
…
After this soul torture, Aruwen even suspected that Chahan was not his biological son.
What a sin!
"Kill, it's my son, it's my grandson, just kill him for me!"
Aruwen looked at Ding Pulang like crazy.
Chahan hesitated, not knowing what was happening.
But he still can't figure out what happened to the Ming army?
Could it be that they released Dad because they were afraid that they would underestimate them?
So we have to fight with ourselves and drive ourselves north of the Yellow River by force?
Then you’ve made the wrong calculation!
You underestimated me, Chahan Timur!
"Kill! Come up to me!"
Chahan decisively launched his army to fight.
The Ming and Yuan armies had a fierce battle just south of Ruzhou... and this was the beginning of the decisive battle!
What Chahan didn't know was that right after Feng Guoyong launched the attack, someone immediately sent the news back to Xinghua Camp outside Kaifeng City and sent it to the Yuan army's main tent.
Immediately, some people took fast boats and went down the Yellow River, while others took fast horses and rushed madly to Shandong to deliver the news to the Ming army.
Let the war begin!
To be honest, with Chahan Timur's situation, the Ming army penetrated like a sieve. If he hadn't been able to fight and had superior military skills, he would have been beaten to pieces and disintegrated.
"Lord, the war has begun!"
Zhang Ximeng held several pieces of information, his face was excited, the blood in his body was rushing, his face was white and slightly red, and his hands were trembling.
Millions of troops, a life and death battle, finally begins!
Compared to Zhang Ximeng's nervousness, Lao Zhu was much calmer than him. He just pondered slightly and then said: "Deliver the order for us, everything will be done as agreed."
Guo Ying quickly agreed and went down to deliver the order.
Just like this decree, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops heard the news and launched an offensive that shook the heaven and the earth.
Zhang Ximeng also knew that since the war started, there would be no news for a while, so he planned to take a rest.
Just when Zhang Ximeng was about to say goodbye, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke, "Sir, are you still knitting sweaters?" Lao Zhu hesitated, obviously unnatural.
Zhang Ximeng was stunned for a moment, "Master, what do you want?"
"You also bring me a pair of bamboo needles...remember, hide them in your clothes and don't let outsiders see them."
Zhang Ximeng was a little stunned and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
I bet you are just pretending!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ximeng felt a lot more balanced. After all, who is not a body of flesh and blood, how can there be a real man of steel?
Zhu Yuanzhang had a sullen face and did not want to say more.
The pressure at this moment has fallen on Xu Da. As the most recognized military leader among the military officials of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da's pressure has always been considerable.
So much so that in the days before the war, I rarely slept for two hours.
Even so, after receiving the order to start the war, Xu Da still launched the offensive decisively with a hundredfold energy.
Starting from Caozhou, it took only one day for the vanguard to reach the old course of the Yellow River.
What stood in front of the Ming army was a mudflat.
The yellow mud accumulated over the years, coupled with the unblocking of the river after spring, formed a large area of mud. It was difficult for heavy baggage carriages, including elite cavalry, to pass quickly.
But at this moment, the ability of an army commander is fully revealed.
Xu Da's men carried sandbags prepared in advance and threw them into the old road. Then they took off the carriage boards of the baggage trains and threw them on the ground to form a stable road.
The weight of the carriage is greatly reduced by throwing away the carriage board, and there is no problem at all in passing.
In this way, Xu Da easily crossed the old path of the Yellow River.
His actions perfectly explained what it means to be a good fighter without great achievements!
It only took the Ming army less than two days for the divine soldiers to descend from the sky and appear outside Yifeng City.
The person responsible for garrisoning Yifen was Yan Sixiao, the general under Chahan Timur. He was a very fierce guy who knew how to lead troops, was rigorous in his work, and was invincible in battle.
In the original history, he even climbed to the high position of Duke, and was called the pillar of the Yuan Dynasty.
Chahan's original intention was to hand over the Ming army in Shandong to him.
Now Xu Da suddenly launched an offensive. Yan Sixiao was furious and immediately ordered the entire army to go to the city and strictly defend it.
Yan Sixiao even put on the armor himself, carried weapons, and rushed to the top of the city.
Looking at the Ming army in front of him, which was as dense as mountains and seas, and as deep as prisons, Yan Sixiao was frightened and furious.
"Xu Da, you are so shameless! You betrayed your trust and attacked us secretly! What do you think to the heroes of the world?"
Yan Sixiao asked sharply.
How could Xu Da care about this!
"What an idiot! You still don't understand at this time! The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other. You Hulu eagles and dogs also want to steal the Central Plains China. What a wishful thinking!"
"Send the order and attack the city!"
Following Xu Da's order, the Ming army launched an overwhelming offensive... Almost at the same time, Chang Yuchun also commanded the infantry and cavalry division and launched an offensive.
Unlike Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, as the commander-in-chief, actually drove the ship and rushed to the front.
Riding the east wind, they sailed upstream and approached Guide Mansion. A group of Yuan troops came over to check the situation. They found that there were thousands of people on the other side.
Chang Yuchun did something that shocked everyone. He did not wait for reinforcements or retreat. Instead, he let his men drive the boat and quickly docked.
The Yuan army on the opposite side also rushed over, wanting to see who was so prominent?
Just a hundred steps away from the shore, Chang Yuchun stood on the bow of the boat and shot out an arrow... This heavy arrow pierced the sky, unbiased, and hit the head of the Yuan army general. Because of its great power,
It actually penetrated the bone and embedded deeply into the brain.
The general was killed immediately. Chang Yuchun jumped onto the river bank and rushed up with only a few dozen people. At this moment, Chang Yuchun was like a god descending to earth!
From Shaanzhou to Ruzhou, then to Yifeng, to Guide... On battlefields thousands of miles apart, in the ancient Central Plains, red flags surged, and hundreds of thousands of Ming army soldiers shouted and rushed towards the enemy.
Recovering our homeland is unstoppable!
In front of Chahan, there were countless urgent reports. His left arm was bandaged. This was the arrow wound left by Fu Youde!
Faced with this situation, how could Chahan not understand?
"Zhu, how dare you lie to me! You attacked me secretly, you have no martial ethics, you are shameless!"
Chahan was furious and gnashed his teeth and cursed, "In that case, I will fight you to the death!" Chahan Timur decisively gave the order, beat drums and gathered the generals to discuss how to deal with it...
