Chongzhen Undergraduates

"The area of ​​the Central Plains is originally the Great Zhou Dynasty. Our Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty only need to send troops out of Hangu. If we capture Luoyi, the people's hearts will be aspired, and the world will be settled." Wang Duo sang praises.

Hou Fangyu quickly gave Wang Duo a blank look, and thought: This old guy is probably already confused. Apart from being able to play a little war of words, he has nothing in his stomach.

After listening to Wang Duo's "high theory", Wu Sangui could only forcefully smile and said, "What do you think, Mr. Hou?"

"My minister thought that when Chongzhen transferred the main force to the north, Ming's military deployment was concentrated in the three directions of North Zhili, Jiangnan coast, and northern Sichuan. Now the entire Jianghan is empty, and the strength of Jianghuai is not enough.

If our army builds plank roads openly, secretly plots Chencang's strategy, pretends to continue to fight for Hangu Pass, and sends another large army out of Wuguan to sweep Jianghan, and even attack Fengyang, the capital of Zhongdu, it will definitely gain a lot. "

Wu Sangui was very interested in Hou Fangyu's words, because Gao Yingxiang had also played this strategy before, and even burned the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, and then completely stripped off the inviolable cloak of the Zhu family.

If he, Wu Sangui, also realizes this step of strategy, it will be an excellent blow to Daming who has just stabilized.

In other words, Daming will definitely fall into civil strife again.

"Hou Aiqing, you have raised a good son." Wu Sangui praised Hou Xun emphatically.If Hou Fangyu hadn't been too flamboyant, Wu Sangui had already planned to marry his daughter to Hou Fangyu.

Wu Sangui's words are the weather vane, which is equivalent to expressing his own meaning.The following meetings were naturally conceived around the strategy of the army going out of Wuguan and attacking Jianghan.

Wu Sangui's advantage is that all the passes are in his hands, he only needs to consider attacking from one direction, while the Ming army is somewhat passive, and the Ming army does not have an advantage in any direction, and there are too many loopholes; but Zhou Jun's disadvantage is also very large. Obviously, Guanzhong's resources and soldiers are scarce, and its continuous combat power cannot keep up.

The reason why Wu Sangui did not choose to attack Bashu was because Zhu Youjian used a large number of naval forces in the battle of Bashu, which made Wu Sangui unable to do what he wanted.

Let alone the navy army, Zhou Jun will faint even when he sees the water. Wu Sangui's main force is the out-and-out cavalry, Guan Ning cavalry.

Chapter 548: Uncontrollable War Theory

Zhao Yinxuan dragged his heavy body and climbed up the steep hillside. The big tree was not only good for shade, but also covered with slippery and unknown long grass leaves.

There was a big fire outside several mountains, but Zhao Yinxuan's foot was a mountain ridge without a road.

Hunger spread all over the body, which was more uncomfortable than the hardship of the environment.

"Hush..." Just as Zhao Yinxuan was finally dragging a small tree to push away a clump of thorns, a soldier in front of him hurriedly motioned him not to make a sound.

"Did you meet the enemy?" Zhao Yinxuan's heart pounded. This place is not a good place to fight, the terrain is too bad.

"It's a group of muntjacs." The soldier turned around and whispered.

"Mattus?" Zhao Yinxuan was stunned for a moment. It's not unusual to meet one or two muntjacs in the mountains. It's normal to encounter tigers in this place.

However, he was overjoyed to see him peeling away the grass nest and looking into a small valley.A group of more than 30 muntjacs, a few wolves, and a leopard were drinking water beside a large pool.

What is rare is that these wild beasts get together and live in peace. It is estimated that the fire drove them together.They were all thirsty, and all was well.

"Do you want to fight?" A few more soldiers surrounded him.

"Of course we have to fight. We have long run out of rations." Zhao Yinxuan did not hesitate, this was almost the rations that the old man sent them.

"Go and inform the brothers around you that we will wrap them up today." Zhao Yinxuan made the arrangement, and his seriousness was no less than a battle of encirclement and annihilation.

When thousands of Ming soldiers opened a large net and attacked these beasts with the tactic of shooting them with volleys of guns, even the ferocious leopard showed fear.

Humans are the scariest animals, and volley shooting is an effective counterattack to ferocity.When a leopard was enraged and charged into the crowd, it was responded by a burst of gunfire, and then the leopard fell to the ground with a backward turn.

The elk herd instantly became chaotic, scurrying around like headless chickens.Even Zhao Yinxuan didn't even look at some rabbits.

"Sir, why do you think this unsalted meat is so delicious?" A little soldier with a mouth full of oil was happily eating a large piece of wild animal meat.

"I'm hungry!"

"Hahaha…"

Zhao Yinxuan was also very happy. It was his extravagant wish in his dream last night to feed his brothers, but he did not expect it to come true now.

However, wild animal meat can only guarantee their two-day rations. If they want to survive, they must find food, but the mountain fire is burning towards the west, which means that their Ming army is getting farther and farther away from Luoyang and the enemy. Instead, it gets closer.

"We must find food and salt." Zhao Yinxuan found the two regiment leaders under him and said.

"However, we still have more than 2000 people. Such a large army consumes a lot. Where can we find food?" Wu Dahai, the head of the regiment, said.

"Cut off the grain, cut off the grain of the Zhou army." Zhao Yinxuan said: "I have something to tell you. We have been walking west for three full days. If the direction does not deviate, it is less than two days away from Tongguan."

"What?" Several officers were stunned when they heard this, and the big guy wanted to run away, but he didn't want to go anywhere. Anyway, Zhao Yinxuan, the deputy division commander, gave orders all the time.

Now it is a bit scary to tell them suddenly that they have actually penetrated more than 100 miles behind enemy lines.

"What are you afraid of? From Tongguan to Hangu 170 miles, Zhou's army has to eat every day. At any rate, there are tens of thousands of troops. There must be a grain transport team along the way. Let's grab a batch of grain from it. There is always a chance." In fact, Zhao Yinxuan I had thought about this move a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been heading west.

Fighting a batch of wild beasts was just an unexpected harvest, but this accident supplemented the physical strength of the Ming army, which made Zhao Yinxuan more confident in his plan to grab food.

"Boom..."

The sky changed in this afternoon, which had been clear for several days, and the first spring thunder of this year finally exploded.

Zhao Yinxuan quietly looked at the official road in the distance with a telescope. This place is no longer a narrow valley like Hangu Road, and the terrain is a bit flat.

A temporary granary of Zhou Jun was built in the middle of the hill. It avoided the official road. If it weren't for the general, ordinary people would really not guess it.

Among the lush greenery, some small warehouses are hidden in the woods, and the sentry posts are also flickering.Zhao Yinxuan had already sent people to investigate carefully, and the other party had about 500 people guarding it, but some local troops didn't even have guns, and they only took swords and matchlock guns.

Zhao Yinxuan looked up at the sky, he was waiting for the rain.The heavy rain has little effect on the combat power of the [-]th Army, but it may be a disaster to the enemy in the small valley.

At the same time, Deng Zhirong also looked at the sky excitedly.If there will be a heavy rain from God, then the heavy rain will definitely extinguish the wildfires.In this way, the odds of surviving whichever troop is outside will be much greater.

At the same time, Deng Zhirong's eyes were fixed on a battlefield, that piece of burned mountain ridge.

"Pass our military order, and all units must gather urgently and prepare for battle." Deng Zhirong issued the combat order.

"Huh la la..." Finally, the long-awaited heavy rain fell on the ground.

"Let go." Following the movement of the flag bearer, the cannons of the Ming army began to attack.

The sound of "Boom..." spread far away, and Xia Guoxiang thought it was thunder, but after the continuous sound, the sound of explosions was obviously very close.Immediately afterwards, a Zhou soldier ran to the door of his barracks in a panic and reported: "Big, something is wrong. The Ming army has begun to attack our army."

"Where is it?" Xia Guoxiang put on his armor casually and rushed out the door. The cold armor still made him shiver.

"It's on the right wing." Without waiting for his subordinates to report, Xia Guoxiang had already seen that the right wing of Hangu Pass was in a mess.Although the explosive bullets did not turn the battlefield into a sea of ​​flames, the ground mixed with the heavy rain became dirtier.

"Fire back." Although Xia Guoxiang didn't know why the Ming army didn't attack the front, he still couldn't help but try the red cannon that was brought in recently.

"General, it is difficult to fire the cannon in such heavy rain." The artillery captain replied.

"Then why can the Ming army's cannon fire?" Xia Guoxiang roared angrily, pointing in the direction of the Ming army.

"It is said that the cannons of the Ming army use fuses, which are not afraid of rain." The captain replied truthfully.

Xia Guoxiang was speechless. It is said that people like Wu Sangui also stole a lot of Ming's advanced black technology, but the Ming army's equipment has always had a rhythm that Zhou Jun can't catch up with.
