The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 154 Wang Weining is Here

On the night of February [-]th, when the monarch and ministers expressed their opinions on the situation in the Northwest, a big battle was brewing.

In Jianzi'ao Tubao, more than 20 miles away from Piantouguan, there are dilapidated ruins and three thousand cavalry led by Wang Yue are making final preparations.

Behind Wang Yue, Chen Rui, Chen Xun and other honored ministers who cooperated in the battle were gone, only a group of soldiers dispatched by Zhu Feng and Wang Yue, who were listening to the battle report in Pianguanguan City that Ye Bushou had detected.

"...the Tartars have entered the city gate in batches before sunset, and there are still a large number of Tartars looting in groups, going east and south for hundreds of miles. Our army's food convoy has suffered a lot big……"

Wang Yue listened to the report on the current battle situation, as if the lost money, food and materials, even the people, were not his own, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

After the final mobilization meeting was over, Wang Yue had decided to send troops directly after the soldiers replenished their water.

Wang Yue looked at Zhu Feng who was sitting on a rock in a daze and said, "Zhijie, are you afraid?"

Zhu Feng raised his head and glanced at Wang Yue, at this moment he looked ashamed.

Just two hours ago, this group of people pretended to be the cavalry escorting the army and civilians from the Ming Dynasty. When they were attacked by a small group of Tatars, the cavalry "collapsed at the touch of a button" and threw dozens of carts of food and supplies to the possibly There were only two to 300 Tatars. In order to fully demonstrate the incompetence of the Ming Dynasty frontier army, Wang Yue let the troops run away all the way, even in a panic.

It was under such circumstances that Zhu Feng saw the Tatar's true self for the first time...

I was really scared.

He was also thinking in his heart, I came to the Northwest for military merit, why does it feel wrong?He said he wanted to pretend to be the grandson first and then the uncle, but he was afraid that the result would not be satisfactory.

The routine is a bit deep.

"It's...well."

When Zhu Feng spoke, his voice was very hoarse. He had been on fire for the past two days, and today he was drinking the northwest wind along the way. In February, the northwest was dusty. He almost forgot what the petty bourgeois life in the capital was like.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "No wonder Mr. Zhang admires you. It seems that you have the qualifications to become a famous general."

After hearing this, Zhu Feng blinked, as if she hadn't recovered.

I have the qualifications to be a famous general... Forget it, except for my ancestor Zhu Neng, no one has this potential!
How about lying to a three-year-old?

You Wang Weining has led troops for so many years, have you ever seen a famous general who was so scared that he almost peed his pants before the war?Are you saying this is false?

"Today, the old man will give you five hundred horses to be used by the right army to block the Tatars' eastward advance in the city. Is there any problem?" Wang Yue also dispatched a wartime mission to Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Wang Junmen, you see, it's my first time on the battlefield, and most of the time I'm still inexperienced..."

Wang Yue directly interrupted Zhu Feng's words with his hand, and said: "Don't be humble, you have this ability, even if you have fear in your heart, you still have to think about the five hundred cavalry you led, they all take you as an example."

Zhu Feng said: "Then why doesn't Wang Junmen use Ping Jiangbo and the others..."

"Uncle Pingjiang? Zhijie, do you know where Chen Liangjiu has gone now? He took his men and horses and fled to the west. It is estimated that he walked out for two hundred miles. Don't look at him when he was fighting, he flinched and fled. The road was very fast, and he had no problem at all when he marched 160 miles a day and night. Do you think this kind of person can be used in such a tough battle?"

Zhu Feng thought about it.

Or is Ping Jiangbo and Chen Rui more "aware of current affairs", knowing that he can't fight, he was so scared that he led his troops and ran away, and I am still waiting to die here?
There are tens of thousands of Tatar elite cavalry in the city, let me take 500 troops to guard one side...

Is this a strategy people can come up with?

Even if you let me die, can you give me another way to die?
Wang Yue patted Zhu Feng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you want to build an unworldly achievement, you need a little courage. Don't forget that we have the mighty gunpowder bestowed by His Majesty, and Mr. Zhang's ingenious plan. The soldiers are united as one, How could it be possible to lose? Get up and get ready, the old man will let the most elite men under his command follow you, and they will show you the way."

After Zhu Feng heard this, his confidence was suddenly boosted.

But think again.

Why does this sound so familiar?

It seems that every time Zhang Zhou draws big cakes for him, he always has this accent. Do you both like to fool people like this?
But there is no way.

Now he doesn't even know where to run.

On a pirate ship.

Zhu Feng's heart was full of sadness, but he still went to organize the army and was ready to go.

……

……

"Uncle, why did you transfer the most elite troops to Zhu Zhijie? What he was in charge of was only the east road. After the Tatars were attacked, it would be very difficult for the Tatars to extend from the east road to the hinterland of Daming!"

Zhu Feng felt that he had been treated badly.

But Wang Yue's subordinates felt that Wang Yue was too partial to Zhu Feng.

Zhu Feng was guarding the east road, and there were a dozen or so miles to the north, and there were stretches of Ming Dynasty earthen castles, and reinforcements from all walks of life could arrive at any time.

However, when the Tatars encountered a night attack, the situation was unknown, and even if they broke through, they would not be able to run towards the hinterland of Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yue said: "The old man's arrangement is justified. It's up to this time to fight bloody battles and make meritorious deeds."

For Wang Yue, obtaining military merit is one aspect, but after obtaining military merit, asking for rewards for merit is another aspect.

If you don't "serve" Zhu Feng beautifully, how can you have the nerve to let Zhang Zhou speak for yourself later, and how can you get back Weiningbo's title?
Wang Yue not only knows how to fight, but also has a good personality.

No matter how great the result of this battle is, as long as those civil servants are not satisfied, it will be difficult to get his title back.

But if the result of the battle is actually mediocre, as long as Zhang Zhou and others say a few more words to him in front of the emperor, the title will come back.

Is this a war?

This is playing politics!

If it wasn't to deceive people, not to bring too many soldiers and horses, and not to transfer too many people to Zhu Feng, otherwise Wang Yue really planned to let Zhu Feng bring the most soldiers and horses to the least dangerous places to pick up leaks, and even let him give Zhu Feng As a lieutenant will do.

What a reputation!

Give me back the title of Wenningbo, and I can be your grandson.

……

……

The night at Biantouguan is very noisy.

The Tatars also sent several waves of people to the fortress to investigate, and even sent a small group of people to enter the city and circle around twice, coordinating with various people and horses to chase down the deserters of the Ming Dynasty. Huosai headquarters finally confirmed that the Ming Dynasty left the side pass and ran away.

That is to say, before nightfall that day, Huozhai personally led troops to the Pianguan Pass.

The robbery went very well...

The soldiers saw that there was almost a mountain of grain in the city, and there were all kinds of siege supplies that they hadn't had time to take away. They thought that this was a situation where the soldiers were bloodless, and only relying on deterrence, they asked the Ming soldiers to obediently hand over the city. People will have a sense of pride.

But at the same time they were looting, someone caught the sentry left by the Ming Dynasty in the city, and seized a very strange "weapon".

The number one general of the fire sieve, Libak personally played the fire sieve.

After looking at the things in the fire screen, I didn't understand what was going on.

"Grand Master, the outside of the city may not be stable. The Ming Dynasty army will come back at any time. Wang Weining may also be in Xuanfu Town. We should send all the troops back to the pass..."

When Libak mentioned Wang Yue, he was still a little apprehensive.

Huoshai is just the patriarch of the Mengoljin tribe, not the grand master, but in the 11th year of Hongzhi last year, Huoshai led his troops into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and plundered the Datong line. Because of Sie's reliance on him, someone specially granted him the position of honorary grand master.

However, Dayan Khan and Huoshai really had a bad relationship, and the year of the decisive battle was the third year of Zhengde. Before that, Huoshai was nominally a courtier of Dayan Khan, and the interests of the two sides were interlinked.

Huozhai, as the most feared god of the Ming Dynasty border army, is not only brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but also has extraordinary strategies. He has been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the art of war. The empty city is like a tomb.

"Pass down the order, all soldiers and horses will go out of the city to station tonight! Starting from Huile, they will go out of the city one by one!"

Huo Shai personally led this time, although it is the main force of the Mengoljin tribe, there are actually many small tribes attached to the Mengoljin tribe in the grassland. These tribes usually charge forward when fighting tough battles, but in When reaping the results, you have to stay behind.

The Huile tribe was the last to enter the city, less than half an hour after entering the city, and the things they robbed should be the least.

But when going out of the city, the Huile Department had to take the lead.

Li Bake was puzzled: "There is a city wall, but they still need to be stationed outside the city?"

Huozhai didn't explain too much to Libak, and only ordered him to carry out the military order.

……

……

midnight.

When the Huile tribe had already left the city to complete their camp, and some of the follow-up troops were leaving the city one after another, there was an almost earth-shaking bang, like thunder from the ground, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The city wall in the southeast of Biantouguan City was blown down immediately after this sound.

Even the yellow gunpowder, which can collapse reinforced concrete when blasted in later generations, is the first time to show its power on the battlefield.

Just when the Tatar tribes didn't understand the situation, successive explosions sounded in the city again.

"It's early!"

When Wang Yue heard the loud noise, the soldiers and horses were still four or five miles away from the Chengguan.

"Order, assault! Cars and horses don't stop..."

In Wang Yue's army, in addition to cavalry, there were also some carriages, which transported some artillery, firecrackers, etc.

From the defense of the capital after the Battle of Tumubao, the power of firearms was truly demonstrated when Daming fought the Tatars. Since then, Daming has always used firearms as a sharp weapon against the Tatars. In recent decades, Firearms were also improved very rapidly.

Daming's cavalry, amidst the background sound of explosions and roars at Piantouguan, divided into three groups and rushed forward quickly.

In addition to the 500 troops on the left and right sides, the [-] soldiers and horses led by Wang Yue went straight to the Huile tribe who had been stationed out of the city.

……

At this time, the fire screen was still in the city, he just felt that there was danger in the city.

Since they are here to rob, they will naturally return with a full load. It is expected that there will be no problems in a few hours. After all, the soldiers and horses of Da Ming retreating from all directions have no signs of bluffing to lure the enemy into the depths. , Can you hide a military force that can only compete with his own troops?

But when he saw with his own eyes, the gate tower of Piantouguan collapsed in the flames soaring to the sky, dozens of tribal warriors stationed on the tower were directly blown into the sky, and the city wall of the Weng City collapsed...

He just realized.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty does not need to ambush many people to confront him head-on.

"Grand Master, Wang Weining... is here..."
