This time, the emperor's grandson was kidnapped due to an emergency. Zhu Muchen was responsible, and both Sihu and Aji stayed behind to protect him.
After resting for more than half a month, the injuries on his body were much better. Zhu Muchen asked Aji to accompany him and left the camp for a walk to get some fresh air. He heard the penetrating sound of firecrackers in the distance and couldn't help but ask: "Aji, recently
Have your training already gone north? It’s too far away from the main camp!”
If those Tatar soldiers were really serious about investigating, they might send a small team to destroy the firecrackers.
The Aji people were also confused, "Your Majesty, our fire gun team has always been under strict protection and is in the camp. Just now, the young one heard a sound from the front, could it be..."
Since the young prince was named Prince of Chu, the titles of his subordinates have also changed.
"problem occurs!"
Zhu Muchen's expression changed, and he quickly got on his horse, "Rocket, hurry up!"
Rocket was obedient and rushed out like a gust of wind. When he arrived at the camp, he followed Zhu Muchen's orders and ran rampant until he reached the door of Zhu Di's tent. Zhu Muchen got off his horse and did not even stop the defenders.
Zhu Di was discussing an encirclement with his generals. When he saw Zhu Muchen suddenly barging in, his face turned ugly and he asked, "King Chu, what do you mean?"
No longer caring about so many rules, Zhu Muchen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, when I came out for fresh air just now, I heard the blasting sound of the Northern Fire Gun Team. I am afraid that the Tatar soldiers have made a comeback. Please order the soldiers to be on guard!"
As soon as he said this, the generals and Zhu Di in the tent were stunned. Last time, several raiding teams were sent out with firecrackers. It is said that the Tatar soldiers suffered heavy damage, and even several large camps were burned down.
He shouldn't be able to regain his strength within a short period of time.
The general in charge of the reconnaissance team responded with a cold eyebrow, "King Chu is just talking nonsense. If there is any news, the scouts from the front will send it over."
"Your Majesty, please make plans early!" Zhu Muchen faced great pressure and asked for orders again.
Zhu Zhanji took a look and saw that the King of Chu would not tell nonsense. "Grandpa Huang, it is better to prepare earlier to avoid being surrounded by Tatar soldiers. Now is not the time to discuss whether the military situation is wrong!"
With Zhu Zhanji's suggestion, Zhu Di immediately made arrangements to put the army on alert.
The whole battalion of troops was ready to go. Zhou Yousheng in front was riding a lame horse, covered in blood, "The vanguard army has been killed, there are enemy troops!"
After he finished speaking, he actually slipped off his horse. The news had been brought, and both man and horse fell into the snow. After heaving a sigh of relief, they could not get up again.
Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhu Muchen. If this boy hadn't reported it in advance, the army might have been raided by Tatar soldiers. The general who had scolded Zhu Muchen before wanted to bury his head in the snow in shame. These Tatar soldiers
He was so cunning that he knew the location of the scouts clearly. No wonder no news came.
The morale of the Tatar soldiers was greatly shaken and they made a comeback. Zhu Muchen was quite surprised. They were completely covered in darkness. Their black and gold flags fluttered with the strong wind from the north. Their morale was greatly improved!
Aji and Pang Man hurriedly protected Zhu Muchen. The four tigers stood in front. Zhu Muchen took out a telescope from his arms and saw that the front of the Tatar soldiers was composed of thousands of soldiers, holding shields in their hands.
With the spear on his back, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and he quickly headed towards the Ming Dynasty.
"They have prepared shields in front of them. The shape of the team is a fish scale formation. If I see it right, I should first use the fish scale formation with spears to catch us off guard."
Zhu Muchen told the truth. When he looked to the side with his binoculars, he saw firecrackers. His expression changed. When did the Tatar soldiers also have firecrackers? "No, they have a small firecrackers team. Although the weapons are not as mature as ours.
But it was enough to hurt us in the front row."
It is exactly the same as the last batch sold to them by Posexi Milu. Could it be that Tatars and foreigners colluded? Zhu Muchen has doubts in his heart, but this is imminent, so he can only put it behind him!
Zhu Di was really panicked at this moment. Although the Chu Palace's Fire Gun Team was included in the army, he was not familiar with it. He had seen the power of the Fire Gun Team. How could a sword compete with it?
Seeing what Zhu Muchen said so plausibly, Zhu Di coughed lightly and whispered a few words into Zhu Zhanji's ear.
"King Chu, you are familiar with the Fire Gun Team. I hope Prince Chu will go all out for this battle. The sand table is in the camp. I hope Prince Chu can give guidance on the battlefield!" Zhu Zhanji bowed, which was equivalent to giving up the command task of this battle.
Passed it to Zhu Muchen.
A general expressed dissatisfaction, "How can a young boy who has never seen what it's like to kill someone be able to give advice on the battlefield? It is a taboo for military officers to be easy to command on the battlefield. I hope the emperor will think clearly!"
Anyone who has fought in a war knows that you cannot change commanders before a war, otherwise morale will drop. But now that the enemy is facing the enemy, it is too late for Zhu Di. "Does any of you know the Fire Guns Team better?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and had no choice but to lower their heads. They were incompetent and would only be able to lift knives and swords in this life!
Zhu Muchen was also unceremonious, "All archers should pay attention to concealment. Their fish scale formation will cooperate with the fire cannons to attack our front row. The archers need to disrupt their formation. At the same time, the main target is the fire cannon team on the opposite side!"
"Our fire gun team, according to the previous drill, get on the chariot!"
"The other side has gained obvious momentum in the past few times. To capture the thief, capture the king first. We need to send more manpower to protect the emperor and the emperor's grandson!"
Zhu Muchen arranged things in an orderly manner, and the generals had no choice but to obey orders and each received their own tasks.
Following an arrow from a Tatar soldier, the two armies engaged in battle. The Tatar soldiers thought they had the advantage and advanced violently, forgetting to protect the musketry team behind them, and were sneak attacked by the Ming Dynasty's archers!
As for the Tatar vanguard in front, they were surrounded and strangled directly!
The whole battle lasted for only an hour. The Tatar soldiers saw that most of their gunmen were dead, so they had to retreat.
This is the biggest battle since the two armies clashed!
Although after the battle, there were hundreds of injured soldiers in the Ming camp, and even the tents were rickety, the Tatar losses were more than ten times that of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty realized the whole battle later, it reduced the losses to
lowest.
Zhu Di was shocked, and faintly saw the shadow of Zhu Meng, the former king of Chu, in Zhu Muchen's body. He was worthy of being the queen of the generals, and indeed he had two brushes.
Zhu Zhanji was even more excited for Zhu Muchen, "King Chu, you took charge of this battle. It really shocked everyone. We won the first battle and our Ming Dynasty's morale has improved a lot!"
The old and red faces of the generals who had previously objected turned the color of pig liver. They did not expect that the King of Chu, who was once known as a fool, would turn out to be so unworldly. He was really blind before. The generals apologized one after another.
However, Zhu Muchen's face was calm and calm. This time he was ordered to do so at the critical moment. "Thanks to the emperor's quick wit and decision, I have a chance. The other party's gunfire came from unknown sources, but it did pose a threat to us. The military situation is wrong. I hope
Everyone, stay and plan again."
In the past, Zhu Di discussed the matter with the generals, with Zhu Zhanji occasionally watching. Now, faintly, because Zhu Muchen won a battle, everyone began to consult with him.
Zhu Di was happy today. After the victory, Zhu Muchen gave him enough face. He simply gave up giving advice on the battlefield and instead used his skills skillfully. "King Chu, our food and grass can only last for half a month and cannot be consumed for a long time. What do you have?"
plan?"
During the march, food and grass are extremely important. Now we are really encountering a big problem. From here to the nearest city for help, it will take four or five days to transport a large amount of food and grass. However, the Tatar soldiers are currently attacking so fiercely that the army cannot wait four or five days.
Five days.
The Tatars in the north had harsh conditions all year round, and it was even more difficult to grow food crops, so they were eager to go south and conquer the southern land.
Zhu Muchen picked up the chess piece next to him and put the black piece directly behind the enemy. "Our food and grass are difficult, and their food and grass are even more difficult. My father once died in a small village, and then I brought back a child from there."
"Although that boy is following the army, he is a Tatar and is very familiar with the Tatar dispatch route. If he were to lead it, cut off the opponent's grain movement, and take this batch of grain to the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be solved?"
Everyone was delighted. Zhu Muchen's method was very good. Not only did he obtain food and grass, he was also able to make the Tatar soldiers unable to supply it in a short time, forcing them to jump over the wall and march in a hurry.
Zhu Di couldn't help but applaud, "I'm afraid even the Tatar soldiers can't imagine that we will bypass their camp and cut off the supply of food and grass. All arrangements for this matter will be left to the King of Chu to decide. I'm waiting for you."
Good news!”
Zhu Muchen's victory today made him completely relieved. Zhu Di did not hesitate and directly took out a tiger charm and said, "This is an order from thousands of people. There is no room for mistakes in this plan!"
Holding the Tiger Talisman in his hand, although Zhu Muchen won't be able to go into battle, he can arrange his troops well. As an engineering student, he will be able to do a good job if he has a thorough understanding.
Coming out of the camp, Pang Man's eyes were scarlet. He didn't expect that the former little prince would grow into a real King of Chu, which actually made him dumbfounded. "Your Majesty, we will definitely follow you even if we go up mountains of swords and seas of fire."
You, whatever you want to do, we will go through fire and water!"
The four tigers and Aji who followed him also expressed their loyalty. Before, they only followed to protect the prince, but now seeing the prince's ability, everyone can do great things by following him.
Li Erniu heard his eldest brother calling him, holding a piece of roasted sweet potato, with a dark face, and entered the tent under the leadership of Zhang Dahu, "Brother, what do you want me to do?"
Since arriving at the military camp, Li Erniu has been taken care of by the imperial guards, and he can live a good life in the military camp. He has always been in my heart.
"Er Niu, I heard you say before that you are very familiar with the traces of Tatar soldiers, right?"
"I am most familiar with this. When they passed by Huxuankou a few times ago, the snowstorm was heavy that night, so they always had to rest in the village. My friends in the village and I are very skinny, and we often found traces."
Li Erniu said with a proud look on his face. The child didn't know what the grain and grass movement was. He only knew that there were many Tatar soldiers. Zhu Muchen drew a rough pattern of the grain and grass movement on the drawing.?
