The Ming army began to harass the Zhou army camp, and the big battle could come tomorrow.Wu Sangui, Jiang Xiang and others discussed the strategy, the Zhou army in the direction of Tongguan would resist the attack of the Ming army head-on, while Jiang Xiang and Man Dahai flanked the Ming army after the Ming army entered the preset battlefield, striving to defeat the Ming army.Jiang Xiang and Man Dahai hurried back to the camp, and Wu Sangui stood on the gate, looking into the distance.Although Jiang Xiang and Man Dahai were stabilized, the attack of the Ming army would bring great challenges to Wu Sangui.Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zamao may launch an attack tomorrow, but we have Tongguan as our backing, so you don't have to worry too much." ”Wu Sangui bowed slightly, and laughed twice, "Yes, there is Tongguan, and Zhao Zamao is not so easy to defeat the widow." ”More than ten miles away, in the camp of the Ming army.Zhao Ming wore armor, pressed the sword, and accompanied by the generals, inspected the Ming army camp.At this time, most of the Ming troops had already fallen asleep, and only some of the soldiers were left, still patrolling and sticking to the camp."
This time I defeated Wu Sangui, recovered Guanzhong, and the world was unified, and the Ming Dynasty finally settled down."
Ruan Mei said excitedly.Zhao Ming stopped, stood by the camp, looked at the brightly lit Zhou army front on Kunshan Mountain, and asked with a smile: "Do you think that after recovering Guanzhong, you can release Manan Mountain and enjoy peace?"
”Many generals were slightly stunned, judging from their expressions, most of them had this idea.If the world is unified, it is natural to enjoy peace and live a stable life.Zhao Ming glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "After destroying Wu Sangui and recovering Guanzhong, my internal campaign in the Ming Dynasty is over, and the people can indeed enjoy peace and live a stable life, but you can't relax when you wait for soldiers."
But if you are lax, then the peaceful days of the people will come to an end. ”Ruan Mei nodded hurriedly, "Your Highness is reasonable, and the ministers will take it to heart." ”Zhao Ming turned his head and looked into the distance with a deep gaze, "In this world, for the army, there is only war and preparation for war.Moreover, after the unification of the Ming Dynasty, there are still Yidi around them, and the widows still need to continue to fight, and the Ming Dynasty also needs you to continue to serve. ”Ruan Mei and the other generals hurriedly saluted and clenched their fists, "The ministers understand." ”Zhao Ming glanced at Ruan Mei and the others, and saw that the person looked serious, so he smiled again: "You don't have to be nervous, the widow is just chatting with you casually." ”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Zhao Ming raised his horsewhip and said: "Wu Sangui dispatched elite troops to open up the Hexi Corridor, the widow can't wait, tomorrow morning, all departments will go out according to the strategy formulated by the military department."
In addition, the sentry cavalry paid close attention to the movements of the Zhou army!
”Ruan Mei saluted: "Wow!
”Zhao Ming looked up, and Zhou Jun on the mountain picked up the clairvoyant mirror and glanced at the brightly lit Tongguan in the distance, and couldn't help muttering: "Seventeen years of wind and rain, like a dream!"
”~~~~~~ the rockets attacked by the Ming army continued to ring in the middle of the night, and realizing that the Ming army was about to attack, the Zhou army immediately began to counterattack, sending soldiers and horses to drive away the Ming army, and attacking the Ming army camp.The two sides fought until the fifth watch, and it was not until the eve of dawn that the camps of both armies began to light fires and cook, and the scouts returned to their respective camps.At this time, the camp of the Ming army became a sea of lights in the darkness, and the Huotou army placed the prepared breakfast in the camp, and the advance teams hurriedly used breakfast to take advantage of the cover of darkness to go out of the camp ahead of the main force and go to occupy the battlefield.In order to prevent the Zhou army from interfering with the main force of the Ming army to enter the battlefield, Zhao Ming sent a large number of advance teams to enter the battlefield in advance and stand in position, so as to facilitate the army to enter the battlefield and arrange the front.At this time, a group of Ming troops, carrying muskets and dragging artillery out of the camp, although the Zhou army on the hillside discovered the movement of the Ming army, but looking at the advance team marching with torches, the Zhou army did not dare to go down the mountain, but from time to time fired artillery, bombarding the plain in front of the mountain.On the mountain, the artillery of the Zhou army roared from time to time, raising clouds of white smoke in the mountains and forests, and one after another shells shot out and smashed into the darkness.The shelling lasted for a long time, the sky gradually became brighter, and the situation under the mountain was unfolded in front of the Zhou army.At this time, Jiang Xiang stood at the top of the mountain, took out the clairvoyant mirror, observed the mountain, and found that the advance team of the Ming army had arranged multiple positions at the bottom of the mountain.These positions consisted of sandbags and dirt, each spaced two hundred paces, with a hundred men in each position, and one or two bronze cannons.On the periphery of the position, the cavalry of the Ming army either roamed back and forth, or stationed in front of the horse formation, but there was only one purpose, which was to prevent the Zhou army from suddenly rushing down the hillside and attacking the main force of the Ming army that was about to enter the battlefield."
Lord Wang, let me lead the troops to rush down and defeat them!"
Jiang Youguang said in a deep voice.Jiang Xiang shook his head, and while continuing to observe, he said, "Wait for the main force of the Ming army to enter the battlefield before launching an attack."
What this king wants is the main force to defeat Zhao Zamao. ”At this time, in the camp of the Ming army, the soldiers of each department were hurriedly eating, the soldiers squatted together, eating the cakes, and there was a whistle around them from time to time, and they saw the soldiers of the battalion, and hurriedly got up, while stuffing the cakes and steamed buns into their mouths, while recognizing the team flag, and assembling outside the camp.Outside the camp, several battalions of non-commissioned officers lined up neatly, and the officers checked the equipment of the non-commissioned officers one by one in accordance with the combat regulations.The small flag officer inspected every soldier of the flag team, checked their helmets, uniforms, muskets, bayonets, ammunition, and grenades, and then reported to the general flag, which in turn reported to the general flag, and the voices of the officers in the queue came and went.When everything was correct, the battalion commander turned on his horse, drew his sword, and made a tour in front of the battalion, and the instructor immediately made the final pre-battle waver.At this time, the town, which was one level larger than the battalion, heard the sound of the horn of the town general's inquiry, and the battalion general heard the horn and immediately shook his fist and roared, "Hit the warlord, recover Guanzhong!"
”"Reclaim Guanzhong!"
The soldiers lined up in a neat formation waved their fists one after another, and all kinds of fanatical slogans sounded in the camps.The battalions raised their banners in response to the town generals, and Ruan Mei immediately walked to Zhao Ming's side and saluted: "Qiqi Regent, the soldiers are ready, please try it!"
”Zhao Ming rode on the war horse and nodded: "Let's go!"
”Ruan Mei clenched her fists, "Wow!
”After finishing speaking, Ruan Mei turned over her horse, ran back to the town, pulled out her matching knife, and ordered loudly, "Go!"
”The rhythmic sound of military music sounded in the battalions, and the ten battalions, nearly 30,000 Ming troops, immediately carried muskets and advanced forward like a long snake into the preset battlefield.At the same time, the Ming troops of other towns also flowed out of the camp like red streams in the sound of trumpets one after another, converging into a sea of red helmets.()
