Chapter 881: Great victory across the board! Return of the class!
Zhu Han nodded approvingly: "What Biao'er said is very true. We can send a small group of elite troops to harass the enemy at night and make them restless. This will not only consume their physical strength, but also damage their morale.
.”
Then, Zhu Han turned to General Li and ordered: "General Li, you immediately organize engineering troops and set up traps and obstacles on the east and south sides. You must make the enemy pay a heavy price when attacking."
After General Li received the order, he immediately summoned the commanders of the engineering troops and quickly deployed the construction of fortifications.
"Captain of the Engineers, you lead half of the men and arrange snagging ropes and traps on the eastern front to ensure that the enemy cavalry cannot come back." General Li's voice was firm and powerful, revealing unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, General!" The engineer captain accepted the order, then hurried away with his soldiers and began to dig and set traps intensively.
At the same time, Zhu Han turned to another general and said: "Vice General Zhang, lead the remaining soldiers to strengthen the defenses on the southern front, especially those areas that are easy to attack and difficult to defend, and set up more hidden shooting points.
Let the enemy have nowhere to hide when attacking."
Vice General Zhang accepted the promise with his hands in hand, his eyes shining with determination: "General, I will definitely live up to my orders!" After that, he turned and left, quickly organizing the soldiers to prepare for intense defense.
Zhu Biao stood aside, witnessing the busy figures of the generals, feeling both relieved and heavy in his heart.
"Uncle Huang," Zhu Biao walked to Zhu Han and said softly, "I think we can also conduct more frequent harassment and raids on the enemy at night to further disrupt their deployment."
When Zhu Han heard this, he nodded slightly, with a flash of approval in his eyes: "What Biao'er said is very true. We can organize several elite teams to take turns to attack at night to make the enemy uneasy. This will not only consume their physical strength, but also keep them safe during the night."
It puts huge psychological pressure on them."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement and then added: "At the same time, we can also use the power of local people to collect more intelligence and understand the enemy's movements and weaknesses."
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Biao'er, I am deeply gratified by your growth. These ideas are very good, and I will arrange for people to implement them immediately."
Subsequently, Zhu Han summoned several close generals and made detailed plans for night attacks and intelligence collection. He emphasized that safety must be ensured in every operation and that the enemy should not be underestimated and advance rashly. The generals took orders and left, and the camp was busy again
stand up.
As night fell, the Ming army launched operations according to the plan. Several elite squads quietly came out of the camp under the cover of darkness and harassed and raided the enemy troops in different directions. Sometimes they set fire to create chaos, and sometimes they quickly attacked the enemy's patrols.
The enemy troops and outposts were kept in peace all night.
At the same time, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao were personally sitting in the command center, paying close attention to the changes in the battle situation. They constantly obtained the latest trends of the enemy through scouts and intelligence networks, and adjusted their deployment and tactics in a timely manner.
"Sir, the enemy troops on the eastern front have been attacked by our army three times tonight, resulting in heavy losses and low morale." A scout hurriedly walked into the camp and reported the latest battle situation to Zhu Han.
When Zhu Han heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Very good, continue to increase the intensity of harassment, and we must make the enemy troops exhausted."
The scout followed the order and left. Zhu Han turned to look at Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, how is the situation on the southern front?"
Zhu Biao shook his head slightly, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes: "The enemy forces on the southern front seem to be on guard. Our army has failed to achieve much results in several raids."
Zhu Han frowned slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He pondered for a moment and said to Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, since the enemy troops on the southern front have taken precautions, we need to change our thinking. The art of war is full of clouds, but it is not true.
, false but real. We might as well create a large-scale feint attack on the southern front to attract the enemy's main force, and then wait for opportunities to break through from other directions."
Zhu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed: "Uncle Huang, this plan is very clever! In this way, not only can we test the enemy's true strength and reaction speed, but it can also create opportunities for our subsequent offensive."
Zhu Han nodded, then summoned the messenger, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send an order to Vice General Zhang on the southern front, and order him to prepare a large-scale feint attack. The momentum must be huge, and the enemy must mistakenly think that our army will attack the southern front.
At the same time, General Lee on the eastern front is ordered to quickly organize elite troops when the fighting breaks out on the southern front, and use the cover of night to detour around the enemy's flanks and conduct a surprise attack."
The soldiers took the order and left, while Zhu Han and Zhu Biao continued to stare at the sand table, discussing every next step. Zhu Han's eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate the night and look directly at the enemy's movements; while Zhu Biao
He seemed more calm, putting forward his own ideas from time to time, and working with Zhu Han to improve the battle plan.
In the dead of night, the battlefield on the southern front suddenly burst into flames, and the shouts of killing shook the earth. Upon seeing this, the enemy commander mistakenly thought that the Ming army had really launched a main attack, and hurriedly mobilized heavy troops to reinforce the southern front. However, just as they were responding with all their strength,
During the offensive on the southern front, General Lee on the eastern front had led his elite troops to sneak around the enemy's flank.
With an order, General Li's troops descended the mountain like tigers, unstoppable. The enemy's flanks suddenly fell into chaos, and many soldiers were killed in the camp in their sleep. General Li took advantage of the victory to pursue, and he was advancing all the way.
The enemy's main camp.
At the same time, Vice General Zhang on the southern front also followed the plan and quickly withdrew his troops after creating a lot of momentum.
When the battle report from the Eastern Front came, the atmosphere in the camp instantly became heated and tense. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, with victory shining in each other's eyes, but more of them were thinking deeply about the upcoming battle.
"Uncle Emperor, a great victory on the Eastern Front, General Li has lived up to expectations!" Zhu Biao said excitedly, unable to conceal his excitement in his tone.
Zhu Han smiled slightly, but did not relax his vigilance: "Biao'er, don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Although the eastern front is victorious, the enemy troops on the southern front are still there, so we can't take it lightly. Send the order and let Deputy General Zhang on the southern front continue.
Maintain a feint offensive posture and at the same time strengthen reconnaissance to look for possible weaknesses of the enemy."
"Yes, uncle." Zhu Biao responded, then turned around to convey the order.
At this time, a messenger hurried into the camp and reported nervously: "Sir, the enemy seems to be aware of our intentions and is urgently mobilizing troops from the northern front to reinforce the southern front."
Zhu Han frowned slightly, but soon relaxed, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? They finally couldn't sit still. They sent an order to Vice General Wang, asking him to lead the elite to set up an ambush on the northern line and wait for the enemy.
After the military reinforcements entered the ambush circle, they were wiped out in one fell swoop."
"Yes, sir!" The ordering soldier took the order and left.
Zhu Han turned to look at Zhu Biao and said sincerely: "Biao'er, war is not only a contest of force, but also a contest of wisdom and will. We must learn to look for opportunities in the enemy's reaction and obtain the greatest victory at the minimum cost.
.”
Zhu Biao nodded, his eyes shining with admiration: "Uncle Huang taught me, and Biao'er has been taught."
Soon, the battle on the northern front also began. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain and accurate judgment of the enemy's situation, Lieutenant General Wang successfully led the enemy reinforcements into the preset ambush circle. For a moment, there were shouts of kill and the exchange of weapons.
The sound of banging came one after another, and the firelight reflected the night sky red.
At the same time, Vice General Zhang on the southern front also followed Zhu Han's instructions and continued to create momentum to attract the enemy's attention. He personally led a group of soldiers and wandered outside the enemy camp, sometimes firing arrows to harass, and sometimes setting fire to create chaos.
, making the enemy exhausted.
As time went by, the battle on the northern front gradually came to an end. The elite troops led by Vice General Wang successfully annihilated the enemy's reinforcements and captured some enemy generals. This battle not only greatly weakened the enemy's
The combat effectiveness of the army greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army.
When the news of victory came, a burst of cheers erupted in the camp. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao shook hands tightly and smiled at each other. All fatigue seemed to disappear at this moment.
"Uncle Emperor, we have won this battle, what should we do next?" Zhu Biao asked excitedly.
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said with firm eyes: "Biao'er, although the enemy army has been defeated, the main force is still there. We cannot give them a chance to breathe. We must pursue the victory and destroy their lair in one fell swoop."
"But..." Zhu Biao hesitated, "Our army has been fighting for days, and the soldiers are exhausted. Is it too risky to pursue at this time?"
Zhu Han shook his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "Biao'er, the fighter plane is fleeting. We must seize this opportunity to solve the border troubles in one fell swoop. As for the fatigue of the soldiers, we can take rotational rest to ensure that they
I have enough physical strength to take on the challenge.”
Zhu Biao heard this, although he still had concerns in his heart, but when he saw Zhu Han's firm eyes, he nodded in agreement: "What the emperor said is true. Biao'er is willing to accompany the emperor to pursue the enemy."
With the victory in the battle on the northern front, the situation on the border seemed to have temporarily eased. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood on the high ground, looking at the smoke gradually dissipating in the distance, feeling both the joy of victory and deep thoughts about the future.
At this moment, a messenger hurried over, knelt down on one knee, and reported loudly: "Prince Han, Your Highness, Your Majesty has a decree, ordering our troops to return to the court today, and reward them based on their merits!"
Hearing this, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao looked at each other, with complex emotions flashing across their eyes. Zhu Han slowly turned around and said to the ordering soldier: "I understand. Immediately order the entire army to prepare to return to the capital."
After the messengers left, Zhu Biao asked softly: "Uncle Emperor, are we really going back like this? Although the fighting on the border has temporarily subsided, hidden dangers still exist. If the enemy comes back..."
Zhu Han sighed and looked deeply: "Biao'er, your Majesty's will cannot be disobeyed. Moreover, after days of fighting, the soldiers do need to rest. However, don't worry, I will advise your Majesty to strengthen the border defense to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Zhu Biao nodded, but there was still a trace of worry on his brow: "What the emperor said is absolutely true, but... I'm worried that the situation in the DPRK and China is complicated, and our return to Beijing this time may not be too peaceful."
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Biao'er, you don't need to worry too much about the affairs of the court. As long as I am here, I will protect you. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must stay calm.
With determination, you are the crown prince of Ming Dynasty and the hope of the future."
"Biao'er," Zhu Han said softly, "after returning to Beijing, you must be more cautious. The situation between North Korea and China is complex and ever-changing, and you need to keep a clear head and a firm stance at all times."
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, uncle, I will remember your teachings. But... I'm worried that someone in the DPRK will criticize our trip to the border."
Zhu Han smiled slightly: "There is no need to worry, Biao'er. Our military achievements during this trip are obvious to all. Although there are voices of criticism in the court, as long as we act openly and have a clear conscience, it will be fine."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "What the emperor taught me is, Biao'er understands. After returning to Beijing, I will be more diligent, govern the country with benevolence, quell chaos with wisdom, and live up to the expectations of my father and uncle."
As the army began to pack up and prepare to return to the capital, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao also made final arrangements in the camp. Zhu Han knew that although the border war had come to an end for the time being, the struggle between North Korea and China had just begun. He must serve Zhu
Paving the way for Biao to ensure that he can successfully succeed to the throne.
"Biao'er," Zhu Han said earnestly, "after returning to Beijing, you must pay close attention to the movements in the DPRK, especially those forces that pose a threat to your throne. At the same time, you must also strengthen your contacts with loyal ministers in the DPRK and consolidate your power.
Supportive force.”
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "Uncle, don't worry, I will always be vigilant and will not let anyone threaten my status. At the same time, I will also work hard to improve my ability to govern the country and benefit the people."
The army slowly set off, and the people along the way walked out of their homes to see the army off. They were grateful to the Ming army for their heroic actions in defending the border and safeguarding peace. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao stood at the front of the team, looking at these simple people, their hearts filled with emotion.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Han immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang the border war and the arrangements for returning to Beijing. After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased with Long Yan, spoke highly of the achievements of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao, and decided to hold a grand celebration banquet in the court hall.
In recognition of their bravery and wisdom.
At the celebration banquet, hundreds of officials gathered, and the atmosphere was warm. Zhu Han and Zhu Biao sat at the top, accepting everyone's congratulations and admiration. However, Zhu Han's eyes were always scanning the surroundings vigilantly, looking for possible threats and challenges.
.
At this moment, a minister who was usually on good terms with Zhu Di suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although Prince Han and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have made great achievements on the border, the government affairs in the DPRK and China are busy, and border affairs also require long-term planning."
I boldly suggest that the post of Border Defense Envoy should be established to be responsible for border defense and ensure the peace of the Ming Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the court. Zhu Han felt trembling in his heart, knowing that Zhu Di was testing his bottom line. He smiled slightly, stood up calmly and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is a good idea. Frontier
Defense indeed requires a dedicated person to take full responsibility and implement comprehensive strategies. I boldly recommend His Highness the Crown Prince to concurrently serve as the Border Defense Envoy to demonstrate His Majesty's emphasis on border defense and to hone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's ability to govern the country."
