"General, good news, according to our intelligence, the Ming Dynasty troops in Beijing have left the city."

A few people next to him immediately bowed their hands: "The general's clever plan, I admire it!" ”

Hu Guozhu laughed: "Don't be complacent too early, it's still the same sentence, don't destroy every grass and tree in this Ming Dynasty mausoleum, if anyone cuts down a tree, Lao Tzu will cut off his head!" When the Ming army is defeated, it will only be inferior in skills, and no one will scold us for losing our conscience! ”

"Although the general can rest assured, we are also afraid of retribution and cutting off our children and grandchildren, this dead man's things are not touched, I have made it clear to the brothers, the better we protect this mausoleum, the more it seems that these fools in the Ming Dynasty are not as good as us, and they are played around by our tricks to lure the enemy."

On the other hand, Yang Youcai followed closely by Cheng Xiaolian's side: "Your Majesty, I just got the news, there is no movement in the mountains, even the gate of the mausoleum is intact, Hu Guozhu is afraid that it is just a trick to lure the enemy." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "This trick to lure the enemy is used well, we have to be fooled, but it's okay to give them a chance to see victory, so that they don't take risks again and destroy the ancestors' mausoleum." ”

Although this Ming Tombs has little to do with Cheng Xiaolian, as a highly educated person in later generations, he does not believe too much in the statements of these yin and yang ghosts and gods, but in order to maintain the Ming Dynasty, he must let himself believe in this kind of thing, and he must make every effort to ensure that the ancestral mausoleum cannot be destroyed.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Hu Guozhu didn't arrange a large number of people around Beijing City, right?" ”

"Although Your Majesty can rest assured, there is definitely not, if Hu Guozhu wants to use any trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, he must first pass the level of my Jinyi Guard."

Beijing City is not very far from Tianshou Mountain, it took about a day to rush to the vicinity of Tianshou Mountain, the army of the Ming Dynasty immediately stopped and set up camp, the faces of the soldiers were full of indignation, Hu Guozhu this shameless thing, he couldn't beat himself on the battlefield and came up with this kind of bad idea, those green-skinned scoundrels in the countryside will not use this kind of tricks that cannot be put on the table, Hu Guozhu heard that he is still a general, it is simply too unpopular.

In fact, for these low-level soldiers, there are still relatively many people who believe in ghosts and gods, and all missionaries know that the more barren the land, the easier it is to grow the seeds of faith, because these people are too bitter, so you paint a beautiful environment for him, even if it is fake, he is willing to believe that he can really reach the level of life of a high-ranking official and noble through his own efforts.

But there is never anything in this world that is not earned for nothing, and if you don't work hard and rely on daily prayers and wishes, you can only purify your soul, and it is almost impossible to get rich overnight.

Therefore, the rebels of all dynasties like to incite these poor people to pursue a better life in the name of ghosts and gods, like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising in the last year of the Qin Dynasty, so they pretended to be fox demons in the temple and shouted Chen Shengwang, Da Chuxing. The Red Turban Army uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was by burying a stone man, leaving a proverb, and the stone man had one eye, instigating the Yellow River to rebel in the world.

And Cheng Xiaolian is also worried about these soldiers, if they lose their fighting spirit overnight, Daming will lose its only support.

Qin Yue saw Cheng Xiaolian's appearance, and just smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, although our soldiers also believe in ghosts and gods, but there are also many people who trust Your Majesty more. ”

At this time, the officers and men in the army didn't know who shouted loudly: "An inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood!" ”

The soldiers in the battalion echoed in unison: "Daming mountains and rivers and rivers and mountains!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian only felt very hot in his heart, as if he was suddenly rewarded with warmth for his efforts, he nodded fiercely at Qin Yue: "We may not lose to Hu Guozhu." ”

"It's not necessarily, it's sure to win, since the formation of my Daming Mountain and River Army, I have never fought a battle to bully the widow, every time I defeat the strong with the weak, dozens of battles of all sizes, no defeat, this war, the old minister must let Hu Guozhu know that the bones of the Ming Dynasty are not something that these slaves with three surnames can gnaw on!"

In the middle of the night, a loud military horn came from the opposite military camp, which also startled Hu Guozhu, and hurriedly asked the people around him: "Hurry up and ask what is going on, why did you suddenly call the military horn?" ”

After a while, the guards walked back: "General Qiyu, our Iron Harrier reported that someone in the army of the DPRK suddenly shouted a military trumpet, which triggered the response of the sergeants and soldiers, and it seems that their morale is very high. ”

Hu Guozhu pouted: "Their morale is high, is it possible that the morale of the generals under this general is low?" Tomorrow, when the three drums sound, I will call them all the troops of the Ming Dynasty to disappear in front of the tomb of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and show their ancestors who is the strongest army in the world. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, the two armies lined up at the foot of Tianshou Mountain. The two families knew that it was impossible to persuade each other to surrender, and it was estimated that this kind of thing would not play a big role in reducing morale, so they basically didn't talk nonsense, and directly began to beat the drum and march.

Cheng Xiaolian stood on a high place and watched the battlefield carefully, this time the Daming Mountains and Rivers Army will fight against more than 100,000 Hu Guozhu's troops with 40,000, he didn't know the true situation of Hu Guozhu's army, and he had already pinched a cold sweat in his hands.

Hu Guozhu's own family knows his own affairs, so he arranged all the troops that could not be fought on the two wings and the periphery, which played a role of momentum oppression.

Today, Qin Yue did not play cards according to the convention, all the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were taken away by Wang Jiyong, without the cavalry flanks, the mobility of the Ming army was much worse, and the flexibility was also somewhat restricted, so he put out a fish scale array, this array of generals is located in the formation, according to the echelon configuration, the front end is slightly convex, and the action is like the scales on the fish's body, dense, even if the cavalry is disturbed on both wings, it will not stop the waist and cut off the military formation, thus causing chaos.

And the weakness of the fish scale array is behind Cheng Xiaolian is responsible, he is Wang Tieniu trained hard for a year of personal guard battalion, before going to the battlefield Wang Tieniu has told them, Henan's big war personal guard battalion has lost face, if this time can not get back face, the personal guard battalion from him down, one by one wipe the neck to commit suicide, so as not to stain the banner of the Ming personal guard battalion.

Qin Yue didn't want Cheng Xiaolian to go to the battlefield, Cheng Xiaolian declared that he would never fight in battle, besides, the front of the guard battalion was the mountain and river army, Cheng Xiaolian was between the guard camp and the mountain and river army, unless the Ming army was defeated, there would definitely be no risk, Lu Li and Yang Youcai were by his side, even if it was another layer of insurance, Qin Yue could only agree, after all, it seems that Beijing City may not be a safe place now.
