Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 35 Ma Xiuying is a good sister-in-law!

With Ma Xiuying, no matter what in the future, my brother's backyard will be harmonious, and there will be no such smoky and bad things.

Zhu Han said proudly: I named the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, and I let him marry his wife. In the future, who will be more famous than me?
After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, Zhu Han immediately vented to Guo Zixing, expressing that there was no problem with getting married.

Guo Zixing was very happy when he found out.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang shared the management of Haozhou City with their five heroes, Guo Zixing gradually felt that the four of them, Sun Deya, began to alienate him.

This made Guo Zixing feel very uneasy.

I want to get the support of Zhu Yuanzhang, so as to prevent any changes in the future and support myself.

In this way, it is the best way to let the righteous daughter Ma Xiuying marry Zhu Yuanzhang.

My righteous daughter is well-educated, diligent and sensible, she is a good wife and mother at first glance, and more importantly, she is kind-hearted and knows how to repay her kindness. Guo Zixing has treated her with great kindness these years, I believe she will remember With kindness.

However, Guo Zixing had to put it aside for the time being before he had time to bring it up with his adoptive daughter Ma Xiuying.

Because of the return of the rangers sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, Dalu Huachi Timur's Mongolian cavalry has already approached Haozhou!
A battle to defend Haozhou is about to begin, and everything must be delayed.

Haozhou City is in the Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and other five great commanders gathered to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.

"We originally thought that the Tartars had only [-] cavalry, but Tan Ma said that the Tartars were far more than this number, at least tens of thousands."

As the Marshal of the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first.

"What, tens of thousands of people?"

Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were shocked when they heard this.

The Mongolian and Yuan Tartar cavalry were fierce. If there were 6000 or [-] people, they could be more relaxed by virtue of their numbers.

However, now it has doubled, almost equal to the strength of the Haozhou Rebel Army, which makes them a little scared.

"If this is the case, then our original strategy can't be used!" Guo Zixing said with a frown.

They originally wanted to pretend to hold on to the city wall, and then suddenly rushed out of the city, taking advantage of their numbers to catch the Mongolian Tartars by surprise.

However, now that the number of both sides is equal, if they do this again, they will be sent to death.

After all, the combat effectiveness of most of the soldiers of the rebel army is much worse than that of the long-battled Tartar army. They have no numerical advantage, and it is difficult to win if they fight hard.

"Deputy Marshal Guo is right, we think so too." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Then what is Marshal Du planning to do?" Sun Deya asked hastily.

The quality of the soldiers in their hands is not good. If they fall into a hard fight with the Mongols, they will easily collapse and fail.

"We have already thought about it. These Timurs are strong and strong. Knowing that the city of Haozhou is broken, they must want to come and take Haozhou back as soon as possible. Then we will catch him by surprise." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.

"Marshal Du, why do you want to catch him by surprise?" Guo Zixing asked.

"Timerer is arrogant and arrogant. He will definitely think that our rebels will rely on the city to hold on, but we are not like this. We led the army to lay an ambush in advance on the sandy plain in the northwest, and first sent soldiers and horses to fight. When they enter the Shayuan, the ambushes on both sides will attack, give him a head-to-tail attack, and he will definitely win!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spread out a map on the table while talking, and drew out his strategy.

Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were all shocked when they heard this.

Shayuan is more than 30 miles away from Haozhou City. If you march, it is almost a day’s journey. If the battle is not good at such a long distance, it is absolutely impossible to run back to Haozhou City and stick to it. The Mongolian cavalry are not vegetarians. of.

Zhu Yuanzhang's plan seems to be feasible.

The sand plains are full of weeds and rivers. Once the pursuers enter, they are very likely to be attacked by ambushes on both sides.

However, if Timur is not to be fooled, wouldn't it be true that he will fall into a hard fight, and the false defeat will also become a real defeat?

Therefore, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others all opposed it.

"Marshal Du, this is too risky, it's better to stick to Haozhou City."

"Yes, if the Mongols are not fooled, we will be defeated with our soldiers and horses!"

"There is enough food in the city for two or three months. If we fortify the city and leave the city, the Tartars will have nothing to do with us!"

Hearing their words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt disdainful.

Zhu Han had told himself all these possible words in advance, and now it sounds like he guessed none of them wrong.

Seeing this, Zhu Han at the side knew that it was his turn to persuade them.

"Marshals, there is no way out for this matter. Marshal Du's strategy is already the best plan. Many of our soldiers' families and farms are outside the city. After the Mongols arrive, they will definitely burn, kill and loot. At that time, the army will be very motivated. How do you maintain morale?"

"We have no reinforcements outside. Even if we want to stick to Haozhou, it is just a waste of time to wait for death. The Mongols can only send more and more peripheral reinforcements. Moreover, if the rain surges, Mongols may have to divert water to Haozhou City , how can you stick to it?"

"Here in Huaixi, we are the leader of the Red Turban Army. Timur is eager to march, and he will definitely be fooled. There is no possibility of failure!"

"Ambush and defeat the enemy in Shayuan. This is called keeping the enemy out of the country. It will definitely make our Haozhou Red Scarf Army famous!"

"If you defeat Daluhuachitimur's Tartar soldiers, the rest of the Tartar soldiers will be extremely afraid and will not dare to attack again. This is called hitting with one punch and avoiding a hundred punches!"

Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were convinced by Zhu Han's words.

If they evade again, they will appear extremely cowardly, even worse than Zhu Han, a 12-year-old boy.

In the end, everyone agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to ambush out of the city.

After Guo Zixing and Sun Deya left, Zhu Yuanzhang happily patted Zhu Han on the shoulder.

"Brother, what you say is so good that you can punch one punch to avoid a hundred punches. The more we listen to it, the more clever we think!" Zhu Yuanzhang admired.

Under the command of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Haozhou Rebel Army was soon ready to fight against the enemy.

They left a thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Haozhou, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all went out of the city to lie in ambush in the sandy plain.

Zhu Yuanzhang's [-] soldiers and horses were used as an ambush, and they were hidden in the reed wasteland on both sides of the official road in Shayuan in advance.

Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and the others acted as bait, swaggeringly waiting in line in front.

As soon as Dalu Huachi Timur's army attacked, Guo Zixing and the others would feign defeat and flee as soon as they approached the enemy. After introducing the Tartar army into the Shayuan, Zhu Yuanzhang ambush and killed them. Guo Zixing and others turned around and fought back, wiping out Dalu Lu Hua Chi Timur's soldiers and horses.
