Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 121 On the verge of firing (first update)
"[-] against [-], I have the advantage—"

Facing the generals, Zhu Yixi put his hands on his back, smiled all over his face, and said confidently.

As he spoke, he pointed to the map, pointed at De'an Mansion, and carefully analyzed it in pure Shaanxi dialect:
"In addition to military strength, we also have two major advantages."

"The spring rain is continuous, and the cold rain is biting, and the advantage of the enemy cavalry cannot be used."

"In the end, we waited for work with leisure, and we have cultivated for many days, and our morale is booming!"

After talking about the three major advantages, he also talked about the three major disadvantages of the enemy army: "First, they don't know what our army is really like; second, they are forced to the left and right, so they have to make dangerous moves."

"Third, the spring rains are continuous, and the grain road is blocked. Don't dare to delay, and the battle will be resolved quickly. In this way, there must be loopholes."

"So, as long as we just sit back and wait for the rabbit, we will be able to win."

All the generals nodded one after another, it sounds very reasonable.

"Chief soldier, although the cavalry is not usable, our firepower advantage is also difficult to use!"

You Shiwei said seriously: "It's raining, the firecrackers and cannons must be misfired."

It makes sense, the generals nodded their heads and looked at Xiao Zongbing with both eyes.

Obviously, whether it was Ma Ke or Niu Chenghu before, they all relied on the sharpness of the firearms, but now this has become a short version, which makes people not used to it.

Seeing this, Zhu Yixi was not surprised, but instead smiled and said, "Can't we fight without firearms?"

this……

The generals felt a little guilty.

"Our army is as overwhelming as Mount Tai, with obvious advantages. What is there to be afraid of?"

Zhu Yixi snorted coldly, dissatisfied.

These people are really afraid of being stunned, and if they don't correct themselves, there will be endless troubles.

"The commander-in-chief is wise!"

The generals woke up with a start and were in a hurry to respond.

After some analysis, only the windbreaker is missing.

Zhu Yixi didn't stay idle either, instead she began to patrol constantly.

Trilateral Battalion, Firearms Battalion, Fuming Battalion, Yulin Battalion, Guangming Battalion, Jieming Battalion, Grenadier Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, and Pro-Battle Battalion.

Among the battalions, the firearms battalion had the largest number, with a total of 5000 people including [-] artillerymen, more than [-] Franco cannons, and several red cannons that had arrived for many days.

The rest of the battalions have about [-] soldiers and horses.

In the battle of Fancheng, except for the cavalry battalion, all of them took turns to go into battle, carrying out a siege battle of removing the chaff and saving the essence.

There were more than [-] casualties, including the Yunyang soldiers of Hui and Wang.

The loss was small, but it was a very good military training. The battalions worked together and united a lot. After many days of training, they finally started to burst out.

"Defend my Ming Dynasty, get rid of the rebels——"

Listening to the loud slogan, Zhu Yixi was full of emotion: "Look, after the siege, the momentum has changed, and the slogan is full of murderous intent!"

The generals also smiled, and they were indeed much stronger.

"However, this is far from enough!"

Zhu Yixi calmly said: "Only after a bloody battle can the army be reborn and defeat the enemy."

"I hope that in the future, there will be a decisive battle, and I will go all out when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, he looked down on all the generals and exuded great pressure.

Chen Yongfu, Zhao Guangyuan, You Shiwei, Li Jizu, Li Jingwu, Liu Tingjie, and Yan Guochao all raised their heads and said, "Swear to kill the thief and serve the general."

"Okay, let's work together, there is nothing to fear from thieves."

Zhu Yixi smiled boldly.

"Report, a letter from the scouts, the Baiwang tribe is less than two hundred miles away from Fancheng."

"Two hundred miles? It's almost two days. It's really fast!"

"Get ready, the enemy has already arrived."

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice, "I want Bai Wang to go and never return."

"As ordered—"

On the tenth day of March, Bai Wang led an army of [-] intruders, and the soldiers approached Hanshui with a fierce momentum.

More than ten miles away from Fancheng and Xiangyang, the army stopped and prepared to set up camp.

Although everyone couldn't hide their exhaustion, but in the end it was the strong soldiers who suppressed Zuo Liangyu, and the chaos soon stabilized.

"How dare you dare to set up camp outside the city!"

Bai Wang climbed up to the watchtower and saw that outside Fancheng, there were military camps stretching for more than ten li, with tens of thousands of troops mixed in.

When he saw him for the first time, he was startled. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help laughing at his subordinates: "If he is really in the same line as the officers and soldiers, I overestimated him."

All the generals were taken aback for a moment, and then looked at it.

I saw that the barracks for more than ten miles were neat and tidy, but inside they were in a mess.

The soldiers were skinny and criss-crossed, almost without combat effectiveness; the military tents were crooked, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind; many mules and horses walked around randomly, dropping dung from time to time...

"As the saying goes, a military camp is like an army formation. How can a general who can't even tidy up the military camp be a good general?"

Bai Wang looked around and encouraged his morale:

"In the past, we fought countless mediocre generals like this. This time we have assembled a battalion of [-] veterans. We will definitely win this battle!"

For a while, the generals recalled the scene of the great victories chasing and killing the Ming army in the past, and they were very excited for a while, clamoring to kill the Quartet.

What made Chuang Jun even more excited was that, with a casual attack, Xiangyang's water siege was broken, and the inside and outside of the city began to connect.

Bai Wang believed that his own side would not defend the city, so instead of entering the city, it is better to gather troops and annihilate the Ming army in field battles.

After all, Xiangyang City didn't have that much food, Feng Xiong also agreed with this idea, leaving 10,000 people to defend the city, and the rest more than [-] people.

As a result, the total number of troops on Chuangjun's side exceeded [-].

"Chief soldier, let the two sides connect like this?"

Zhao Guangyuan was puzzled.

"Besieging Xiangyang requires a waste of soldiers and horses, and it is easy to be flanked by the Chuang army on both sides, so there is no need to waste it."

Zhu Yixi smiled lightly, full of confidence.

"Mr. Zhao, you don't know something."

You Shiwei stared straight ahead, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City will not come out, so we will solve it together at that time."

"That's right!" Zhu Yixi applauded: "We have been acting for many days before, and it is time to reap the rewards, killing two birds with one stone."

"Pass my order, the army will cook at the third watch and go out of the camp at the fifth watch. Today, we will thoroughly wash away our fear of trespassing."

"As ordered—"

The military flag fluttered in the wind, the light rain began to fall again, the ground was muddy, wisps of cooking smoke rose into the sky, and the smell of rice wafted across the camp.

"Today's extra meal, vegetable cakes with pickles, unlimited, eat whatever you want, and each person will be given a bowl of wine."

"Long live, long live—"

The soldiers cheered, happily lined up to lead the food, and chewed.

Everyone understood that they had to eat more at this time, otherwise they would have no time to eat on the battlefield.

"Hic—" In the grenadier camp, Yan Guochao chewed heavily, and most of the meatloaf weighing several catties in the basin in front of him had been eliminated.

The generals of the bombing battalion around him were also dumbfounded when they saw it. This is a three-jin meatloaf!
"What are you looking at me for? You eat too!"

Yan Guochao raised his eyebrows and said: "Let's focus on the armor and hold the battle axe. If you don't have strength, you can't do it. When you go to the battlefield later, who told me that your legs are weak and your arms are sore, I will slap him with big ears!"

"Eat more and drink less soup. When I go to the battlefield, I urinate so much that I'm stuck in my crotch."

"Yes!"

The big guys in the bomb-throwing battalion buried their heads one by one, like pigs eating their food, mighty and mighty, chirping endlessly.
