Chapter 650 War breaks out (please vote for recommendation)
Therefore, it is the best choice to arrange them according to the treatment of ordinary clan members!
Zhou Tianxu lowered his head and responded with lowered eyebrows.
"You will eventually understand!"
Zhu Hongyu hummed slightly and opened his mouth to give instructions.
"Resign!"
After giving the instructions, Zhu Hongyu felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
The depression that had been accumulating in his chest since last night finally disappeared!
Zhou Tianxu resigned and left, and began to prepare to do things according to Zhu Hongyu's instructions.
Zhu Hongyu continued to deal with the government affairs at hand, always paying attention to the war situation in Huguang.
…
Huguang, or to be more precise, Hubei direction.
The war between Daming and Guan Ning's army is about to break out!
Outside the city of Huangzhou, the cavalry of the Ming and Guan Ning armies have begun tentative contact.
On the vast plains, countless cavalry galloped and drove.
The knight on horseback bent his bow and set an arrow, stretching his body wantonly, showing his majesty.
The elite cavalry of the Guanning Army led by Wu Yingqi did not engage in a head-on battle with the Ming army. Instead, they relied on the mobility advantage of their cavalry to continuously harass the Ming army with small forces.
Delay the march of the Ming army as much as possible to buy more time for Wu Sangui to lead his troops from Guanzhong to aid Huguang.
This is Wu Yingqi’s plan!
The Ming Dynasty knew this very well, but faced the harassment of Guan Ning's cavalry, they could not ignore it.
The only thing we can do is to continuously send out cavalry to conduct interception operations!
The endless riverside plain has become the main battlefield for the cavalry confrontation between the two sides.
The horseshoes trampled the ground, making a crisp sound.
The sharp scimitar rubs against the armor and sparks appear!
The cavalry from both sides were fighting fiercely, passing by each other, people colliding with each other, and the hysterical screams almost tearing people's eardrums.
"kill!"
A group of elite cavalry from the Ming army and the elite cavalry from the Guan Ning army were heading towards each other.
In just a moment, the sound of muskets and the trembling of bowstrings sounded one after another.
Arrows were thrown towards the opponent one after another, and dense lead bullets flew across the air, leaving very conspicuous traces.
The air is filled with smoke!
In just the blink of an eye, people on both sides were constantly being defeated.
The armored cavalry fell hard to the hard ground under the influence of inertia.
His heart was shocked, and blood spilled from his mouth!
"ah……"
However, the screams just sounded and then disappeared.
Because these fallen cavalrymen were trampled to pulp by countless horseshoes in the blink of an eye.
The cavalry staggered past, stabbing with spears and chopping with sabers!
The sharp spear head can even pierce through a person's armor, and the sharp saber, driven by the speed of a horse, can easily tear through iron armor.
Blood spilled!
A Ming Army cavalry had just sent the spear in his hand to the chest of the Guan Ning Army cavalry opposite, and in the blink of an eye, his neck was wiped by a sharp saber.
The saber made of fine iron struck the armor of the Ming cavalry, connecting the vital parts of the head and neck. The armor with relatively weak protective capabilities was torn apart easily.
In just an instant, this Ming soldier's neck was cut in half by his saber!
Blood gushed out from the fracture in his neck like a fountain.
The headless corpse fell off the horse!
The cavalry from both sides passed each other, leaving only corpses on the ground.
But neither the Guan Ning Army nor the Ming Army had any intention of delaying the fierce battle.
The cavalry on both sides quickly left the battlefield and withdrew in different directions, leaving at the touch of a button!
The Guan Ning army was playing harassment, while the Ming army was training troops!
You must continue to practice on the battlefield and make up for your shortcomings as soon as possible!
That is to say, through war, we can exercise the combat experience of our own soldiers.
The current Ming Army cavalry is at a very high level in terms of training, equipment, and morale.
The only shortcoming may be the lack of experience, which will cause the Ming army cavalry to show some timidity when facing battle.
But this time Guan Ning's small-scale, low-intensity attack gave the Ming army an excellent opportunity to train!
Teams of cavalry were spread out on the battlefield to deal with the harassment of Guan Ning's army and to train troops.
As for this kind of training method, there will be many casualties?
The Ming army doesn't care!
Because everyone in the Ming army knows that real elite soldiers are not trained on the training ground, but on the battlefield.
If you don't let the army go out to fight, no matter how hard you recruit an army that is good at fighting, you can also develop pampered young soldiers!
…
But, as time passes little by little.
The front lines of the Ming army also advanced to the front line of Huangzhou, and even the forwards of the Ming army had reached the outskirts of Huangzhou.
The Ming Navy fleet floating on the Yangtze River has also launched a tentative bombardment against Huangzhou City.
Amidst the rumbling sound of shelling, shells continued to pour towards Huangzhou City!
Boom! Boom!
Amidst the deafening shelling, the main force of the Ming army quickly advanced towards Huangzhou City.
Although Wu Yingqi led his troops and tried his best to delay the Ming army's advance, in the end the Ming army still appeared outside Huangzhou City.
On a hill!
Wu Yingqi stood on his horse.
Looking at Huangzhou City in the distance, which was covered by the Ming army's naval gun fire and whose city walls were gradually becoming dilapidated, Wu Yingqi's eyes were full of helplessness.
"Where are the reinforcements led by the Emperor?"
Wu Yingqi asked, with a solemn expression on his face.
Wu Yingqi's deputy general heard this, thought for a while and answered.
"Reporting to Your Highness, according to the marching speed of our army, Your Majesty and his troops should have left Tongguan and are heading towards Hubei."
Wu Yingqi made a slight promise and then spoke.
"We must secure Wuchang until reinforcements arrive!"
"Therefore, Huangzhou must not be taken away by the Ming army so easily!"
"Send the order and prepare to reinforce Huangzhou Mansion!"
If Wu Yingqi wanted to hold Wuchang City before Wu Sangui led his troops to arrive.
So for him, the battle in Huangzhou City was a must-fight.
Following Wu Yingqi's order, the elite cavalry of the Guan Ning Army roared into the battlefield.
Prepare to attack the flanks of the Ming army to reduce the pressure on Huangzhou Fucheng!
Guan Ning's army had just entered the battlefield, and the Ming army's cavalry came forward without giving an inch.
The cavalry from both sides collided instantly, fighting fiercely.
Then pass by!
Guan Ning's army did not continue to fight fiercely with the Ming army, but Shi Shiran withdrew from the battlefield.
The Ming cavalry also quickly returned to their formation after breaking contact.
The main force of the Ming army quickly prepared to launch an attack on Huangzhou Fucheng!
The deafening sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Ming navy's naval guns fired round after round of volleys.
The sound of shelling continued one after another, and even the broad Yangtze River was rippled by the recoil of the shelling!
The hot air balloon quickly checked the locations of the bombardment targets in Huangzhou City and determined the bombardment of Zhu Yuan!
The Ming army's artillery fire became more intensive!
