Chapter 900: God-given opportunity, urgent message from Beijing
Zhu Han frowned and made a quick judgment: "Instruct the right-wing deputy general to hold his position, and at the same time order some troops on the left to immediately reinforce. In addition, notify the artillery to prepare and fire immediately once the enemy enters the range!"
The personal guards took the order and left, while Zhu Han continued to observe the battle situation. Soon, the sound of artillery roared and the smoke filled the air. The enemy's elite squad suffered heavy losses under the cover of artillery fire and had to retreat. Seeing this, Zhu Han raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Smile: "Okay, continue to suppress, don't let down your guard."
At this time, the light cavalry led by Lieutenant General Li had circled to the front of the enemy's retreat route. They were hiding in the woods and waiting for the opportunity. Lieutenant General Li whispered to the deputy beside him: "Brothers, cheer up.
, once the enemy steps into the trap, they will be killed in one blow!"
Soon, the enemy troops began to retreat. As Zhu Han expected, there was an ambush hidden in the team. As the enemy troops stepped into the preset ambush circle step by step, Lieutenant General Li suddenly waved his hand: "Let go!" In an instant, arrows rained down like rain.
, the ambush troops fell down one after another, and the enemy army was immediately in chaos.
At the same time, the battle on the battlefield where General Zhang led his troops to pursue was also extremely fierce. General Zhang took the lead with a spear in hand and started a fierce battle with the enemy generals. While fighting, he loudly encouraged morale: "My sons, for the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty,
Family, kill me!"
An enemy general saw this, roared angrily, and slashed with his sword. General Zhang dodged easily, and shot a backhand shot directly at the enemy general's throat. The enemy general was unable to dodge, and was stabbed in the shoulder by a shot, causing him to fall.
Get off the horse.
"General, mighty!" the soldiers shouted in unison, their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy. Under General Zhang's fierce offensive, the enemy army gradually could not withstand it and began to collapse.
Zhu Han stood at a high place and had a panoramic view of all this. He turned around and said to the messenger beside him: "Quickly send an order to the whole army not to be reluctant to fight, but to ensure a safe retreat. At the same time, strengthen vigilance to prevent the enemy from counterattack."
After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly rode their horses across the battlefield, loudly conveying Zhu Han's order: "The whole army listens to the order, must not be reluctant to fight, and ensure a safe retreat! Strengthen vigilance to prevent the enemy from counterattack!"
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers were unwilling to give up, but they followed the military orders and retreated in an orderly manner. At the same time, they maintained a high degree of vigilance to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Zhu Han stood high up, his eyes like a torch, scanning every detail on the battlefield to ensure that the retreat process was orderly.
At this time, General Zhang, covered in blood, rode his horse to Zhu Han's side, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has been defeated. Will our army continue to pursue it?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "General Zhang, don't pursue the enemy when you are in trouble. Although our army is victorious, it is still a tired army and needs to act with caution. After passing the order, the entire army rests on the spot and strengthens the defenses.
To prevent the enemy from counterattack."
General Zhang took the order and left, quickly conveying Zhu Han's instructions. The soldiers found a place to sit down, some bandaged their wounds, and some inspected their weapons, preparing for the next possible battle.
At the same time, the light cavalry led by Vice General Li also completed the destruction of the enemy's ambush and returned in triumph. They were covered in dust, but their eyes shone with the joy of victory. Vice General Li rode his horse to Zhu Han, clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty, the enemy's ambush has been broken, and there are no casualties in our army."
Zhu Han nodded slightly and praised: "Vice General Li, you did a good job. You deserve a lot of credit for this victory."
Lieutenant General Li said humbly: "The last general dare not take credit, it is all due to the prince's good command."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "This victory was obtained with the blood and lives of all the soldiers in the army. We must remember this glory, and we must be alert to the challenges that follow."
After saying that, Zhu Han turned to Zhao Canjun beside him and said: "Zhao Canjun, please write a letter immediately and report the results of today's battle to the capital, so that His Highness the Crown Prince and the important officials in the court will know. At the same time, ask them if they have any further instructions.
"
Zhao Shenjun accepted the order and left in a hurry to prepare a letter. Zhu Han continued to stay at a high place, observing the movements on the battlefield to ensure that everything was under control.
Soon, a scout hurried over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated several miles away. It seems that they are reorganizing their troops and their intentions are unknown."
Zhu Han frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Continue to closely monitor the enemy's movements. If any abnormalities are found, report them immediately."
The scout took the order and left. Zhu Han's eyes were still fixed on the enemy positions in the distance, thinking about the next countermeasures. At this time, General Zhang rode up to Zhu Han's side and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the enemy army
Although they retreated, they did not stay away. They were obviously planning to attack again. We need to prepare early."
Zhu Han nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "What General Zhang said is absolutely true. Send the order to each battalion to strengthen the defenses to ensure that the defense line is impregnable. At the same time, order the scouts to continue to closely monitor the enemy's movements. If there is any trouble, report immediately.
"
General Zhang took the order and was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and said: "Your Majesty, I think our army has been fighting hard for days and the soldiers are tired. Should we send some troops back to the camp to rest and recuperate to maintain combat effectiveness?"
?”
Zhu Han pondered for a moment, his eyes swept over the tired but determined soldiers, and he felt a surge of pride in his heart: "General Zhang has thought carefully, but if he withdraws his troops at this time, he is afraid that the enemy will take the opportunity to counterattack. Send the order to the kitchen to prepare hot food and distribute it.
Make sure every soldier is well fed and drunk to regain their strength. At the same time, night patrols will be strengthened to ensure nothing goes wrong."
When General Zhang heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he cupped his hands and said: "General, I have received the order and will do it immediately." After saying that, he turned around and left, quickly conveying Zhu Han's instructions.
At this time, Vice General Li also came on horseback, clutching a secret letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, an urgent message from the capital."
Zhu Han took the secret letter, read it quickly, frowned slightly, then relaxed it, and said to Vice General Li: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has learned of our army's victory, and has specially ordered the Ministry of Revenue to raise food and grass, which will arrive in the near future. In addition, Qingliu will
Scholars actively supported the DPRK and China, and the situation improved."

Zhu Han shook his head and said earnestly: "The Art of War says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Although our army is victorious, the enemy's strength is still there, so we must not underestimate the enemy. Send the order, let the soldiers recharge their batteries, and wait for the food and grass supplies to be in place before we start the decisive battle.
Not too late."
When Lieutenant General Li heard this, although he was unwilling to do so, he knew that what Zhu Han said was reasonable, so he had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
As night fell, the camp on the frontier was brightly lit, and the soldiers were sitting or lying down, enjoying the rare tranquility. Zhu Han stood alone on a high place, staring at the stars, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
At this moment, a guard hurried over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be a special envoy from the capital and has urgent military information to report."
When Zhu Han heard this, his heart trembled, and he quickly ordered: "Send him to come in quickly."
Soon, a special envoy in official uniform was brought into the camp. He looked nervous, raised his hands and saluted: "See His Highness King Han. I have an urgent military report on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Han signaled him to stand up and speak. The special envoy quickly took out a secret letter from his arms and presented it with both hands: "This is a letter personally written by His Highness the Crown Prince. Please read it."
Zhu Han took the secret letter and read it quickly, his expression becoming more solemn. He looked up at the special envoy and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any instructions from His Majesty the Crown Prince?"
The special envoy bowed and replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the ministers to tell the prince that although the situation in the DPRK has improved, Zhu Di is still secretly obstructing the reform in an attempt to obstruct the reform. In addition, the enemy seems to have noticed that our army's supplies are coming and is stepping up its deployment.
, intending to attack the supply line."
When Zhu Han heard this, his eyes were as bright as fire: "Zhu Di is indeed cunning. Pass on the order to strengthen the protection of the supply line and ensure the safe delivery of food and grass. At the same time, order Zhao Shenjun to strengthen intelligence collection and be sure to understand Zhu Di's every move."
The special envoy was ordered to retreat. Zhu Han turned around and said to General Zhang beside him: "General Zhang, since the enemy has noticed our supply movement, they will do their best to obstruct it. You immediately select your elite troops, disguise them as caravans, and escort the supplies along the way.
Make sure nothing goes wrong.”
General Zhang accepted the order with his hand in hand and his eyes were firm: "When the general receives the order, he will do his best to ensure that the supplies are delivered safely."
Zhu Han nodded and looked at Vice General Li: "Vice General Li, you need to personally lead a team of scouts. Not only must you detect the enemy's situation, but you must also always pay attention to the safety of the supply lines. Once you discover the enemy's movements, report them immediately and take measures."
Lieutenant General Li responded: "General, I will make arrangements immediately."
After the arrangements were made, Zhu Han felt slightly at ease, but he still couldn't hide the worry between his brows.
At this time, a guard hurriedly walked into the camp, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Junjun is asking to see you. There is an urgent military intelligence report."
Zhu Han's heart trembled, and he quickly said: "Quickly pass him in."
Zhao Canjun walked into the camp with a solemn expression and held a secret letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, a secret report has come from the capital. Zhu Di is secretly contacting some tribes on the border in an attempt to attack our army from the flanks."
When Zhu Han heard this, his eyes turned cold: "Zhu Di's move is really despicable. Pass on the order to strengthen communication with the border tribes and make sure that they are not fooled by Zhu Di. At the same time, he ordered people to closely monitor Zhu Di's movements. Once he is found to be in contact with the tribe,
Contact and report immediately.”
Zhao Shenjun took the order and left, while Zhu Han fell into deep thought.
As night fell, the border camp was silent, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers breaking the tranquility of the night. Zhu Han stood alone outside the camp, staring at the stars, silently thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
At this moment, a scout hurried over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, we found a small group of enemy troops approaching our supply line with unknown intentions."
A flash of coldness flashed in Zhu Han's eyes, and he quickly ordered: "Send an order to General Zhang to immediately lead his troops to intercept. At the same time, inform Vice General Li to strengthen surrounding vigilance to prevent the enemy from committing fraud."
The scout took the order and left, while Zhu Han turned around and walked into the camp, preparing to personally supervise the battle.
Soon, war drums thundered and shouts of death arose. General Zhang led his elite soldiers to rush towards the enemy like tigers descending a mountain, and the two sides soon fell into a fierce battle. Zhu Han stood on a high place, holding an order flag, paying close attention to every corner of the battlefield.
"General Zhang, be careful of enemy ambush!" Zhu Han shouted loudly.
General Zhang heard the sound, and while slashing the enemy troops with his sword, he responded loudly: "General, I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
The battle was extremely fierce, with soldiers from both sides going back and forth, swords and swords intertwined. Zhu Han held the command flag tightly and adjusted the deployment of troops from time to time to ensure that every battlefield could receive timely support.
At this moment, a guard hurried over and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be intentionally leading our army into a preset trap. Our army has suffered heavy casualties!"
Zhu Han frowned and quickly analyzed the battle situation. He loudly ordered: "Instruct the entire army to maintain their formation and not to act rashly. At the same time, Lieutenant General Li was ordered to immediately lead the light cavalry to attack the enemy's rear and disrupt their deployment."
The personal guards took the order and left, and soon Vice General Li's response came: "The last general has taken the order, act immediately!"
As Lieutenant General Li's light cavalry succeeded in making a surprise attack, the enemy's rear suddenly fell into chaos. General Zhang took the opportunity to lead a counterattack and defeated the enemy one by one. Zhu Han stood on a high place, looking at the gradually stabilizing battle situation, and felt a little relieved.
.
After the battle, Zhu Han personally went to the battlefield to inspect the casualties and condolences to the injured soldiers.
"Your Majesty, although our army won, the casualties were not small." General Zhang said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han glanced solemnly across the battlefield and said solemnly: "Casualties are inevitable, but our faith cannot be shaken. Pass on the order to bury the sacrificed soldiers properly and place the injured soldiers properly. Family pensions must be generous and timely.
Deliver it to comfort the heroic spirit."
General Zhang accepted the order with his hands slightly choked, "The last general to receive the order will definitely live up to the prince's trust."
At this time, a guard hurriedly ran over, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, Vice General Li has returned with the light cavalry and requests to see the Prince."
Zhu Han nodded: "Quickly send Vice-General Li to come."
Soon, Lieutenant General Li, covered with dust but with unusually bright eyes, strode into the camp. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Fortunately, Lieutenant General Li has lived up to his command and has successfully disrupted the enemy's rear and assisted General Zhang in defeating the enemy."
.”
Zhu Han stood up, helped Deputy General Li up personally, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Vice General Li, you are both wise and brave, and you have contributed most to this battle. Tell me, how did you do it?"
Lieutenant General Li stood up, his eyes shining with pride: "The last general led the light cavalry around to the enemy's rear, and using the cover of night, quietly approached their camp. When the enemy was in chaos, the last general gave an order, and all the soldiers
The arrows were fired in unison, and the enemy's troops were suddenly in chaos. General Zhang took the opportunity to lead his troops to cover up the attack, and the enemy's troops could not look at each other from head to tail, so our army won a complete victory."
After hearing this, Zhu Han showed a gratified smile on his face: "Okay! This battle not only demonstrates the bravery of our soldiers, but also reflects the resourcefulness and unity of our army. Pass the order, and the whole army will be rewarded. They will rest for a day and continue to strengthen tomorrow."
Defense to prevent enemy counterattacks."
General Zhang and Vice General Li agreed in unison and turned to convey the order. Zhu Han suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute, there is one more thing to discuss. Since Zhu Di has secretly contacted the border tribes, this matter cannot be underestimated. We must strengthen our cooperation with them."
Communicate with other tribes to ensure that they are not used by Zhu Di."
