Chapter 514: Ten Days to Break the City
"Good news, great victory!"
The subordinates hurriedly ran in, waving the good news in their hands, and their faces were full of joy.
Zhu Di grimaced and said unhappily: "What a big thing, it's worth shouting, isn't it just that Zhu Gaoxu won the battle by luck?" ”
His subordinates took a breath and said excitedly: "Lord Wang, the Second Highness broke 50,000 with 5,000 to kill the general Qu Neng, and his prestige was greatly boosted, and our army was greatly encouraged!" ”
Zhu Di moved slightly, but he was still stiff, and said indifferently: "Take it!" ”
After receiving the good news, Zhu Di waved his hand and let the messenger go down, he unfolded it with his own hands and looked at it carefully. At this moment, Zhu Di's hands trembled slightly!
That's right, his heart is not as excited as it seems, this is the two sides negotiated and nullified, the first big war, won a good start, and was outnumbered, broke the enemy army, and more importantly, his son fought it...... The triple happy events are stacked together, how can Zhu Di be calm.
He carefully read every word on the good news, for fear of missing any important information.
After Zhu Di finished reading it, he had to admit that Zhu Gaoxu did have some talent, and he had at least half of his ability in fighting.
Well, that's right!
First of all, Zhu Gaoxu instructed Lan Yong to feint Dongchang and other places, transfer the army from Jinan Mansion, and then raid with cavalry...... In the course of the battle, the two sides suddenly blew up a strong wind and blew off the banner of the Southern Army.
Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of the chaos to chase and kill the general Qu Neng, and then Qu Neng's son came to the rescue, wanting to retrieve his father's body, but Zhu Gaoxu shot through the throat with a bow and arrow.
The leader was killed in battle, more than half of the 50,000-strong army was scattered, thousands were killed, and nearly 10,000 were taken prisoner!
A great victory indeed!
A rare victory!
"Good boy!"
Zhu Di grinned and was happy, his sons had grown up, and among the Yan army, there were many talented people and talents, and Zhu Di felt that he was unprecedentedly powerful.
"Go, please come to the civil and military to discuss military affairs."
After a while, the big guys came again.
This time, everyone's faces were smiling, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" His Royal Highness was wise and brave, and won a complete victory, which was really a great boost in military prestige, and he fought too beautifully. ”
In the face of praise, Zhu Di just said indifferently: "He's just a fluke, Qu can waste one." As a general, I don't know how to command the army because I don't know how the sky changes? If Sheng Yong led the troops, Zhu Gaoxu would be defeated! ”
At this time, Qiu Fu was not convinced, "Lord Wang, this is knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, if it is Sheng Yong's commander, His Royal Highness will definitely not take such a risk!" The big guy said yes? ”
The generals laughed and nodded together, "General Qiu is high, don't be modest." ”
His son was praised by others, which was more comfortable than being praised himself, and Zhu Di was in a good mood.
"Well, even if it's a good start. Next, how do you think you should deal with it? ”
The generals looked at each other, this is a critical time, how to turn the advantage into a victory, it is indeed too hard. In the end, everyone looked at Dao Yan, who was the representative of the main battle faction.
Dao Yan really lived up to expectations, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, taking advantage of the sharp spirit of the southern army, the follow-up is weak, and it is just right to attack Jinan in the south!" ”
Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan and said calmly: "Can you beat it down?" ”
"Yes!" Dao Yan said: "Jinan Jiancheng, with Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan stationed, is indeed a hard bone. But if Jinan can be taken, the whole of Shandong will be ours, and the southern army will inevitably collapse and collapse! ”
Dao Yan paints a very attractive picture.
Beiping and Jinling, as the base camps of both sides, whoever controls Shandong will have the strategic initiative, and the balance of victory will tilt to which side!
How could Zhu Di not be tempted.
Just when he wanted to make a final decision, he still turned his head and said to Liu Chun: "What do you mean?" ”
Liu Chun's face was expressionless, and he stretched out a slap and shook it forward and backward.
"Ten days! We only have ten days. ”
Zhu Di frowned, "Is the grain and grass really so nervous?" ”
"Not only food and grass, but also siege equipment...... At present, Beiping has all kinds of artillery, nearly 300 pieces, and although the weapons are good, the pressure on logistics is also great. The number of livestock needed was twice as high as usual, and as for the people, the number was even greater. Once we get into a fierce battle, we will collapse without a fight! I say ten days because from the direction of Xuzhou and Huai'an, there are still Mei Yin's 200,000 troops, and there are also more than 100,000 people in Yangzhou, and within ten days, these reinforcements will go north to Jinan, and when the time comes, we will fall into a bitter battle."
Liu Chun's words were like a basin of cold water, splashed on everyone's heads.
Siege warfare is indeed not easy, even if you attack a small city, you may not be able to take it in ten days!
Jinan is extremely strong, and it has been operated by the Southern Army for a long time, so it is really difficult to deal with.
If you can't fight, you will face the bitterness of defeat...... As a decision-maker, you can't just look at the good and ignore the hidden risks.
Zhu Di's brows were deeply locked, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment, Zhu Di's gaze was extremely clear, and everyone unconsciously straightened their waists.
Because they know that Zhu Di has made a decision!
"Lord Daoyan, assisted by Zhu Gaochi, stayed in Beiping, Ru Yu and Yu Xin, and went all out to allocate food, gather materials, and supply the military. Zhang Yu, Qiu Fu, each of you led 10,000 people, as a forward, to take Jinan. Liu Chun, you follow this king, lead 80,000 Chinese troops to postpone, 100,000 troops, within ten days, you must break Jinan! ”
At the sound of an order, there was no further hesitation.
No matter what you think, at this moment, you can only be single-minded and obey orders!
This is military discipline, and there is no reason to talk about it.
As the order is passed down from one level to the next...... Beiping was mobilized, and the strength of the Yan army was completely displayed.
"You, and you, go out with the army at once!"
Liu Zheng was on the construction site, quickly issued instructions, and the original workers were transferred out and gathered together to act as a baggage team. On the other hand, the political envoy of Beiping, Yamen, issued an order to the chariot and horse companies, asking them to temporarily gather all livestock to supply the army.
No conditions, no opposition...... Whoever dares not to borrow it will be put to death.
In less than half a day's effort, the 150,000 people in the supply army were already ready. In cooperation with the people, more than 50,000 head of livestock, more than 3,000 horse-drawn carts, more than 20,000 wheelbarrows, and 50,000 flat poles were concentrated......
"Folks, His Royal Highness King Yan led the army south, in order to rescue the old folks in Yanzhou, and to crusade against the rebel ministers and thieves. Among you, many of you are from Jiangnan, and His Royal Highness King Yan promised everyone that as long as you win, you will enter Jiangnan, implement Juntian, and return the property that belongs to you to the big guy! ”
After a brief period of silence, many artisans came out, forming a line to donate money and food...... In addition to the requisitioned people, the remaining people issued the slogan "each person does one more job, eat one less bun a day", and squeezed out 2,000 stone of grain to be used as military food.
In schools in various parts of Beiping, teachers and students also began to consciously donate money and materials, and in two days, a total of more than 1,500 stone of food and more than 2,000 yuan of money were raised, all of which were used as military rations.
Thousands of households in Baiyangkou, all the villagers, donated 8,000 stone of grain, 500 head of livestock, 200 carriages, and 200,000 catties of steel!
In the direction of Daning, a person named "Yuan Guiyi" donated three pack horses and 1,000 taels of gold......
Donations from all directions continued to converge into the army, and Zhu Di and Liu Chun had already rushed to Cangzhou, ready to attack. Faced with the roster of donors.
Zhu Di's eyes turned red, "Liu Chun, this is not a trick you made, right?" ”
Liu Chun waved his hand again and again, even if he wanted to, he didn't have that much ability!
"Lord Wang, I don't have such great ability! It is reasonable for the prince to implement the law change to benefit all the people, and the people support the prince from the bottom of their hearts. ”
Zhu Di shook his head lightly, "Although it is reasonable, since ancient times, how many people have been able to do this?" How can I Zhu Di be able to get the support of all the people? ”
Liu Chun didn't say anything, it was indeed too difficult.
The situation in Beiping is difficult, but Beiping is strong.
Before that, there was a decade of rich accumulation of industrial and commercial development.
This was followed by more than a year of bitter siege.
Then came the massive investment in construction in the past few months...... Those projects are not a big and inappropriate toss...... On the contrary, many young and strong people have relied on the project to eat enough. Their houses are under construction, children's schools are beginning to take shape, and the sound of reading aloud has made countless people see a bright future.
Not only them, but future generations!
For the sake of hope, the people were willing to squeeze food out of their teeth and hand over their livestock to the Jingnan army...... They have only one demand, and that is to win the battle thoroughly!
The men went to the construction site, the women went down to work in the fields, the men pushed carts and carried flat burdens to transport military rations, and the women followed into the construction site...... The war must be won, life must go on, and everyone in Peking has done their best to burn themselves and squeeze their potential to the limit.
The support of all the people is not enjoyment, but responsibility!
Zhu Di felt that his shoulders were like carrying mountains, carrying heavy loads, and Mount Tai was on his shoulders.
The burden will only make you stronger!
Zhu Di's fists gradually tightened, and he had a smile on his face, confident and calm.
"Liu Chun, after the victory of Jingnan, I will share the world with the people and all the people! Share the world with people who really support me! Zhu Di said disdainfully: "The two Han Dynasty families are reunited, the Tang Dynasty is full of feudal towns, and the kings of the Song Dynasty share the world with scholars, but the result is the shame of Jingkang and the defeat of Yashan!" I am the Ming Dynasty and all the people in the world, so that we can prosper forever, and the sun and the moon will shine forever! ”
Zhu Di took a big step and rushed to the outside of the military tent.
"Order, the whole army attack!"
"All the troops are attacking!"
"All the troops are attacking!"
……
The order passed down like a tide, and the 100,000 army rushed straight to Jinan, and behind the army, there were several times the number of people, who formed a bloodline and sent heavy supplies to the Jingnan army.
Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu were the pioneers, all the way to Jiyang, all the way to capture Yucheng, and went straight to the city of Jinan...... Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong kept receiving reports from all sides, and their faces became more and more ugly.
"Lord Tie, I think this time the Yan Army seems to be different from usual!"
Tie Xuan gritted his teeth and wrinkled his brows, "Yan Wei is indeed much sharper, in this battle, either you die or I die!" ”
