eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 798

  From November [-] to the present, there has been no formal battle between the rebels and the government.

  Although Zhu Chenhao's troops also captured several cities, most of the defenders were old and weak, and had not been trained for many years, so they were still far from the standard of a real army.

  The war in the north cannot be transmitted to the south, and the gangsters in Jiangxi have never seen the real elites of the imperial court. In this era of limited information, most of the knowledge that everyone can have is what they see around their living area.

  But Yang Wei is different. Fortunately, he was born in a military academy, and he understands that the army is not just a group of people with weapons gathered together.

  At the foot of Jiujiang City, a rough and arrogant man rode out with great momentum, holding a long sword, and many people came out one after another behind him.

  For a moment, the world seemed to be filled with the smell of war. Military flags on both sides stretched out. Soldiers rose from the bottom of the city to the woods outside the city. From the sky, they looked like dense black dots attached to the city. above the earth.

  Yang Wei only had a guard of [-] men and horses. He placed Zheng Yu's troops in the rear and his elite in the front, intending to use them as a sharp edge.

  If it were the other way around, those people would be rushed by the rebels, and if they broke up, his troops would also fall into chaos.

  When the two armies confront each other, the exchange of insults between the generals is a form of drama. In fact, the terrain is so open that neither side may be able to see it, let alone a 'friendly exchange'.

  "Blast the drum!" Yang Wei stood on the high slope outside the city. He glanced at the Jiujiang Tower. There were vague figures on it. They should be the rebel generals who climbed up to watch the battle.

  Since they dare to come out, let them see what a real Class A guard is.

  Among the rebels, there are many young and strong, and some are old and weak, but all the Class A guards are brave.

  As soon as the drum sounds, you immediately move according to the order!

  "Commander Yang!" Zheng Yu shouted before Yang Wei stepped forward, then raised his hands and said solemnly: "Victory!"

  Yang Wei grinned and raised the sword high in his right arm. His voice was not loud but firm, "Habayashi Zuowei!"

  What followed was a cry to the sky.

  "Mighty!! Mighty!! Mighty!!"

  After Class A and Class B were separated, the name of the health center actually brought out a sense of collective honor. It feels a bit like a serial number.

  For example, if there are two brothers in the clan, the eldest brother is in the first-class guard, and the second brother is in the second-class guard, it will be different.

  Bang!
  Bang!
  The drum beat was getting louder and louder. Since the enemy was about to square up and fight, Habayashi Zuowei had never been afraid.

  "Yu Qianhu!"

  "The end is here!"

  "I order you to attack the enemy from the left!"

  "Yes!"

  "Sun Qianhu!"

  "The end is here!"

  "I order you to attack the enemy from the right side!"

  "Yes!"

  Yang Wei himself held the horse's belly and moved forward, "The remaining people will follow me to attack the central army of thieves! Yu Lin's left guard, fight to the death and never retreat!"

  "Fight to the death!"

  "Fight to the death!"

  The anxiety before the war suddenly burst into the fierceness of the war under the shouts of the soldiers!
  The rebels had already charged at this time, and they were not that stupid. They divided their left and right troops to resist the official army.

  "put!!"

  The crossbowmen pulled out a curtain of arrows.

  Yang Wei doesn't need to command too much. The long-term training has made the soldiers accustomed to this kind of scene. Soldiers holding shields stepped forward one after another, while others began to evade in an orderly manner.

  "Archer!"

  It is rude to come and go without reciprocating. To be honest, if I hadn’t brought the artillery with me because I was on the road, I would have blasted the tower behind me too!

  After the intensive arrows passed,

  Yang Wei took the lead and began to charge.

  "Kill!"

  The armor collided and made a violent sound.

  On the flat ground, soldiers from both sides began to charge into one place.

  As soon as the battle began, on the Jiujiang City Tower, Chen Min, the leader of the rebel army, suddenly felt his heart tightening. The people around him did not dare to tell the truth for fear of being beheaded now, but everyone was still a little shocked.

  Official army, this is the real official army.

  They dress uniformly, act uniformly, are brave and fearless, and an army is like one person!
  Even with that kind of momentum, it was not comparable to soldiers like them who could even walk crookedly.

  Rushing into the enemy formation, Yang Wei pointed directly at the rebel general, the big man, "Kill his spirit, I don't like him!"

  "Yes!"

  In an instant, hundreds of soldiers responded loudly. Soldiers who have been fighting for a long time have murderous intent in their bodies. They will not retreat at all when they see the enemy. Moreover, they often have a tacit understanding through years of training. If the person in front is slightly exhausted, the soldiers behind will immediately step forward to finish the attack. .

  Although the rebels and thieves are all desperadoes, they are not the same as the military gangs. They always throw themselves against the wind and waves. If they meet the slightest resistance, they will immediately be in danger of being shaken.

  Fortunately, the big man who faced the enemy was experienced. While shouting to kill the enemy, he ordered, "Send all the war supervisors behind me! Anyone who takes a step back will have his head chopped off on the spot!"

  Speaking of which, he was considered to be bloody. After saying this, his legs did not weaken, but he rushed forward with the knife.

  "I have killed many officers and soldiers. Today I will show you how powerful I am, Mr. Zhang!" He then spotted a soldier wearing an officer's uniform and rushed away angrily. He saw him knock down his own with three or two swords. The soldier became even more angry, "Good boy, you must accept your fate!"

  call! !

  The broadsword was swung horizontally with the sound of wind.

  The Ming army soldier lowered his head and dodged the attack, and then wanted to sweep away thousands of troops, but he was not strong enough. The rebel man weighed two hundred kilograms and could not kick.

  This made his expression change, and he secretly screamed.

  But his advantage was his quick reaction. He immediately rolled around on the ground twice and retreated. He quickly stood up and leaned against his companions. He said calmly: "Work together to kill this beast! This should be an officer in the rebel army."

  "it is good!"

  Mr. Zhang has never seen such a Ming army before. All of them are quite good at fighting. It often takes several people on his side to work together to capture one.

  Not easy to deal with.

  “There’s still time to daze!!”

  In the blink of an eye, the attack has arrived.

  On a high slope in the distance, Zheng Yu stared at this scene in amazement. He couldn't help but exclaimed with the people around him, "It's really a tiger army, it's really a tiger army!"

  Standing high, he could see clearly. The Ming army attacked the rebels in three directions: left, center and right. Each one of them cut straight into the formation like a knife cutting tofu. On the contrary, the rebels' attack was not strong enough, like a small wave under a big wave. No matter what, they have already begun to retreat.

  The Yulin Left Guard Banner followed Yang Wei and rushed left and right, as if they were in a deserted land!
  "Zhongcheng! Let's go up and kill him for a while, right?!"

  Even the yamen officers dared to fight the Shunfeng Battle. If you go up and touch them, it doesn’t matter how much credit you get by touching them, but it’s still okay to collect a few heads and receive some reward when the time comes.

  Ever since, they started to feel itchy after seeing it.

  However, Zheng Yu disagreed, "War is not a child's play and should not be done casually."

  Yang Wei told him that in the field battle outside the city, the Yulin left guard would definitely defeat the enemy, so he was asked to prepare behind him. As soon as the enemy retreated, his men would attack the city with all their strength, and there was no need to worry about the defeated troops outside.

  This battle started at noon, when the sun was high in the sky, and by the time it was still dark, the rebels had already begun to be in chaos, and it took at most an hour to charge down.

  Zheng Yu originally thought that it might take some time, but he never expected that the opportunity to attack the city would come so quickly.

  With a firework signal, Zheng Yu was finally able to satisfy his subordinates, "The rebels have been defeated by our army! At this time, the morale of the army is unstable, and you all should attack the city immediately! This is the time for men to make great contributions!"

  "rush!!"

  It's a pity that Zheng Yu himself is a civil servant. He has no immediate skills and can only watch the battle here.

  However, he also knew some ways of attacking people's hearts, so he told his subordinates, "After engaging the enemy, you shouted: The imperial army of [-] surrenders without killing!"

  "Yes!"

  On top of the Jiujiang City Tower, Chen Min's face was already livid. He was appointed as a general by King Ning. After capturing Jiujiang, he had only been stationed for five days when the imperial army had already come to encircle and suppress him. Moreover, the Yulin left guard was so tight that he was definitely not like him before. The kind of officers and soldiers killed in Jiangxi.

  "Damn it, we were deceived! I hear them criticizing the court every day, and I thought they were all a bunch of useless trash, but they are actually so powerful!"

  When he said this, his subordinates knew that he had no idea, and became even more panicked, "The army is about to attack the city! We have to find a way!"

  Moreover, there was another question before them. The brothers who had gone out were now severely defeated. Should they open the door and let them in, or should they close the door and not care whether they lived or died?
  "Boss! Your heart is ruthless and your hands are unstable. The army and the army are powerful. We must send people to guard the city gate, otherwise we brothers will all die here!"

  "Yeah, we just enjoyed it for a few days! We can't let the whole fucking battle end!"

  Chen Min also knew that he had to make a decision, but he was always harsh, "Close the city gate! The city gate will not be opened until the officers and soldiers retreat!"

  "Yes!"

  ……

  ……

  Zhu Houzhao didn't know that a fierce war had already broken out in Jiujiang, and he himself was not worried.

  On December [-], he met with Liu Jian, the governor of Shandong, and other officials. In addition to accepting the food he provided, he also talked with Liu Jian and others.

  In Jinan, he re-emphasized the personal expedition in an emperor's tone. On the one hand, it was to conquer Ningni, and more importantly, it was to conquer the disobedient gentry.

  Liu Jian couldn't help but fell silent after hearing this.

  The emperor conquers the gentry?
  For someone like him, this was a shocking statement.

  How can the emperor conquer the gentry? The emperor and the gentry are one and the same.

  But the army has already set off in great force. Because the emperor is coming, the government officials along the way have begun to take action, doing their best to perform, and even causing some chaos, such as collecting various treasures to offer.

  After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao only asked Zhang Cong and others to be responsible for cleaning up. As for himself, he waited for news that he had been waiting for for half a year.

  This is a military report sent from the capital.

  When You Zhi brought it over, he announced the good news repeatedly, "Your Majesty, this is the memorial from Wang Shouren."

  Zhu Houzhao was originally discussing things with his ministers. Hearing these words, he felt a little uneasy. He even stepped forward and grabbed him. After a slight sweep, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "What a Wang Shouren, what a Wang Shouren!"

  When Zhang Cong and Cheng Guogong heard this, they immediately began to say happy words, "Congratulations to the Emperor! My Ming Dynasty has achieved another great victory!"

  "You all have a look."

  Zhu Houzhao spread the news and said: "Wang Shouren led his army deep into the desert, chased them for more than a thousand miles, and defeated the Mongolian Oara tribe. From then on, the northern border will have no worries for thirty years. Ah, the Huns in the Han Dynasty and the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and In this Mongolia, we, the Han people, have been repeatedly invaded by nomadic invaders from the north. This time I am sending troops to go on an expedition to raise our country's prestige in the desert. The pursuit distance is so far, can it be compared to the heyday of the Han and Tang Dynasties? I think the monarchs of the Han and Tang Dynasties can compare with me. There aren’t many people left.”

  The emperor looked high-spirited in front of everyone.

  Military victory strengthens the monarch's political authority unmatched by any other victory. The throne was created by fighting.
