Chapter 750 Uncle, Thank You
When Biggie was captured, the enemy's morale plummeted.
Chen Yi was about to order the entire army to charge when he saw this... but someone in the crowd shouted, "Charge the entire army, and chase them for twenty miles!"
What the hell!
Twenty miles... Chen Yi originally wanted to order the pursuit to last for ten miles, who the hell is this?
"Leader!"
Everyone followed the order without hesitation and rushed forward.
Only then did Prince Yu in the middle appear.
"Your Highness, isn't twenty miles too far?" Chen Yi rode over, "After all, Altan's army is not far away."
"A hundred miles away is far enough." Prince Yu said.
"But if Altan sent reinforcements..."
If the pursuers encounter reinforcements, the enemy will be able to turn the tables and take control.
"Don't worry." Prince Yu suddenly missed the smell of medicine smoke. "The enemy suddenly went crazy and attacked Luanling Pass. It must be Altan's strict order. In other words, Luanling Pass must be captured within a short period of time. In this case, why did Altan send reinforcements?"
Chen Yi was stunned. "Yes, the reinforcements are on the way and the time is up. This seems redundant."
Chen Yi looked at Prince Yu with burning eyes, "Your Highness actually knows about military affairs?"
This is a blessing for us military men and for the Ming Dynasty!
After Emperor Chengzu, most Ming emperors grew up in the deep palace, surrounded by either effeminate eunuchs or women, and their teachers were also scholars.
An emperor raised in such an environment is born weak... This is what a certain uncle said after drinking, and it was spread. Some people were worried that Emperor Jiajing would be furious, but who would have thought that the uncle entrusted his two sons to him the next day.
Prince Yu said, "I just learned a little bit from my uncle."
Is this just the case with fur?
Chen Yi regretted greatly. Jiang Qingzhi had told the generals of the Beijing Guards a lot about the principles of commanding troops, but he only listened halfway absent-mindedly. At this moment, he wished that time could go back so that he would remember every word.
"Don't worry." Prince Yu glanced at him, "The door to martial arts is open."
"Is it not convenient for me to go in?" Chen Yi was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a commander, and he was studying martial arts with those low-ranking generals...
"Are you worried about being embarrassed?"
"Yes." Chen Yi told the truth.
"After this, the Wushu Society will look for opportunities to start short-term classes and advanced general classes..."
"Then I will definitely sign up."
What short-term courses, what senior generals courses? People in the future will surely smile knowingly when they hear about them. Isn’t this just a trick used by those training institutions to deceive people?
But at this moment it is a powerful weapon that attracts Chen Yi.
Yang Xi pointed at the reinforcements and said, "Your Highness, those people don't look like northern soldiers."
"They are from the south." Chen Yi said confidently: "I have seen soldiers from the south before, but these people look... like local soldiers?"
"What are local soldiers?" asked Prince Yu.
"They are the chieftains' subordinates." Chen Yi said, "They are very wild and brave. They have caused the local officers and soldiers to complain bitterly. They all said that they would rather go to the north to fight with Altan than to fight with these local soldiers."
"So powerful?" Prince Yu was stunned.
"These local soldiers..." Chen Yi was suddenly stunned, and said with his hand covering his forehead: "I have thought of it." He pointed to the surrounding mountains and said: "Chang Wei Bo said at the time that he had his own arrangements, and I thought it was just words of comfort."
Prince Yu said: "Altan's army is besieging the city, Datong cannot send out help, and the surrounding mountains block the reinforcements..."
"There is a trail in the mountain, but no one dares to walk on it except the best hunters and woodcutters in the area. Those who go there will fall off the cliff and their bodies will be gone. However..."
Chen Yi looked at the lean reinforcements who were fighting fiercely and said, "There is an exception among the local soldiers!"
"where?"
"Guangxi!"
"Guangxi?"
At this time, the reinforcements turned around and began to chase the enemy, with more than ten riders leading them slowly riding their horses over.
"It's a woman!" Yang Xi exclaimed in amazement, "A woman can be a general?"
Chen Yi became more certain, "In Guangxi, women are not weak women. If they disagree with you, they will touch your head at night."
Yang Xi subconsciously touched his neck.
The female general stepped forward and saluted, "Hua Yan greets the general."
"Hua Yan? What a nice name." There was a gleam in Prince Yu's eyes, and when Yang Xi saw it, he knew that his master was suffering from the same illness as mine.
"I am Chen Yi, the commander of the Yanshan Vanguard." Chen Yi looked at Prince Yu, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Yu!"
"Who is Prince Yu?" Hua Yan asked.
Everyone: "..."
"Where are you from?" Prince Yu smiled and didn't take it as an offense.
"I'm from Guangxi." Hua Yan's eyes were full of wildness. "At the end of last year, someone came to our place and said that... the emperor of the capital wanted us to do something. It just so happened that I wanted to visit the capital, so my father asked me to bring the warriors to take a look."
Hua Yan looked at Prince Yu with dissatisfaction. Prince Yu looked away awkwardly. Then she continued, "Dad said that coming here means killing people and setting fires. But halfway through, we met an official who told us to go north.
I thought the north was interesting, but who knew it would be so cold here... If I were at home now, I would only need to wear a single layer of clothes, but it would be so cold here... If I had known this, I would not have come here."
The girl seemed wild, but she also had a naive side. Chen Yi coughed dryly, "How did you get to Luanling Pass?" "It was that uncle!" Hua Yan sighed, "He sent someone to tell me that there was money in the north. I asked what kind of money it was, and the person said it would cost five cents to kill one and ten cents to capture one alive. My father was short of money, and the warriors also wanted to buy some things to comfort their wives at home, so I came here."
Five cents, this price would make the officers and soldiers sneer at it.
Let's get to the point! Girl... Chen Yi asked: "Where are you from?"
"There!" Hua Yan pointed to the mountain range on the left. "That old man gave me a guide and asked if I was afraid of walking on the mountain road. I said... I'm not afraid of walking in the middle of the night."
"You guys came from the mountains?" Prince Yu was stunned. "Then no one is accompanying you?"
Such a small group of foreign troops were not accompanied by any officials. This was a dereliction of duty!
"The Ministry of War is being reckless." Chen Yi also felt that Lao Wang had been a little too arrogant recently.
"Which officials are you talking about?"
"Yes!" So there is! Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
"One fell to his death, and the rest had weak legs and dared not climb, so they all stayed there. Oh, by the way..." Hua Yan turned around and asked, "How many days can the food those officials bring last?"
Someone who was traveling with him said, "That's about four, five, six... five days!"
Prince Yu said, "That's good."
"Today is the seventh day." Hua Yan said.
In other words, those civil servants had been without food for two days.
Even if we send someone to pick them up now, it will take three to five days.
God!
Bless those unlucky guys and let them hold on for a few more days!
Biji was escorted over. He looked at Prince Yu calmly and said, "If it weren't for the reinforcements, I would have won this battle without a doubt."
"Haha!" Prince Yu smiled, "Yes! I admit it. But I am curious, you used your troops cautiously like an old dog earlier. Why did you use your troops so boldly later? Wasn't it you who was in front?"
It was as if he was a different person before and after, which made Prince Yu wonder if Altan had changed his generals.
"No, it's still me." Biggie smiled bitterly, "At first I thought this battle would be easy, but who would have thought that you would use so many tricks to resolve them one by one. By the way, who is the defender?"
He wanted to meet this person.
Chen Yi said: "I am Chen Yi, the commander of the Yanshan Vanguard."
"Sure enough, the rebuilt Beijing Guards are a great enemy of our army." Biji sighed, "The Khan should have gone south last year. If that were the case, the Beijing Guards at that time would certainly not be able to be relied upon by the Emperor. This is... a pity."
"Last year?" Chen Yi smiled. "If Altan Khan had marched south last year, our army's tactics would have been different."
"I'd like to hear the details." Biji said with a smile, "Now that I'm a prisoner, I won't give away any information."
"If Altan's army had marched south last year, our army would have fortified our city and cleared the countryside, and the imperial guards would not have gone to Datong."
"Where will that go?"
"In the area around the capital." Chen Yi was not afraid of Biji leaking the secret. "The capital guards will be the main force, supplemented by local garrisons, to intercept Altan's army in the area around the capital. Then, we will strictly order the armies of the nine borders to attack and cut off Altan's retreat... the final decisive battle."
"Then why not do the same this year?" Biji just thought about this strategic layout and couldn't help but admire the person who made this layout.
"Because some people say, why do we have to destroy our own territory? The best way is to keep the enemy out of the country! It would be better to bring the war to the grassland and smash the opponent's pots and pans."
This!
That's it!
"No wonder some people asked why the Ming army had to march to Datong. That's why!" Biji suddenly realized, "Those people said that the Ming people lacked confidence, so they sent out the army in full force, caring only about the front and not the rear, leaving the capital so empty."
I got slapped in the face!
"By the way, I was the one in command during these two critical days, but today it is mainly this person!" Chen Yi pointed at Prince Yu.
The pride was palpable.
This is the prince of my Ming Dynasty!
The future emperor!
He was on the front line, fighting bravely, and was also able to command the battle.
A horse emperor will appear again in the Ming Dynasty!
Biji looked at Prince Yu in disbelief, "It's you!?"
Prince Yu smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"
"Zhao Quan once said that the Ming people raised the royal family into pigs. They raised the princes into timid and incompetent people. That idiot, he has failed the Khan!"
Prince Yu thought of his uncle and those words...
——It is not necessary to have a horse emperor, but the current situation has to be like this. When the successor of the Ming Dynasty is both civil and military, and is deeply loved by the army, there will be hope for the Ming Dynasty!
The army is the sharpest weapon in the hands of the emperor!
Yes!
Prince Yu thought of the way those soldiers looked at him before, the respect they showed him.
When the news spreads that he is fighting on the front line, the soldiers in the army will regard him as one of their own.
When he leads his army to war, he will be supported by countless soldiers.
And those supporters will become his powerful weapon against Confucianism, scholars and civil servants!
Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu both took this path!
Thank you, uncle!
There was a gleam of light in Prince Yu's eyes.
He looked at Hua Yan, "By the way, do you have military bugles under your command?"
He wanted to win over this sharp local soldier, so it would be a good idea to reward him with a military bugle.
"Yes!" Hua Yan said, "They call us...Wolf Soldiers!"
