Northern Forward Outpost
This is the second to last outpost in the Ming Dynasty from the Timur Empire. If we march forward for two days and nights, we will directly enter the enemy's territory.
The forward sentry fort here is more like a pile of broken wood that has been hastily piled up than a sentry fort. It can only protect the soldiers from the wind on one side, but not on all sides.
The soldiers dispersed to dig pits for cooking. Each general was controlling his own army and horses. Jin Wang Zhu Fan strode up to Zhu Xiongying with a cold air.
whispered,
"My eldest nephew, the spies sent by the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry have returned. Kohewo is heavily guarded!"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan's face showed a rare change of color, and his tone was solemn. Although Zhu Fan was very wise, the third son had always been extremely arrogant and had never taken Timur in his eyes.
Just imagine, if His Highness had not come to Yan to conquer in person, the third brother could be sure that his three brothers would never be so careful in seeking out information, and would just push it through.
The consequence of flat push is total annihilation.
Zhu Xiongying nodded and frowned slightly. Kohevo was heavily guarded, which meant that the enemy had already considered the Ming army's intention to launch a surprise attack, but it was probably not yet certain.
Seeing that his eldest nephew was silent, Zhu Fan also shut his mouth. At this time, the third child was also very confused.
They marched, and countless brothers suffered frostbite along the way. The number of soldiers and horses that came here was fully 30% less than the number of soldiers and horses that set off in Yandi.
They marched in the severe cold environment in order to catch them by surprise, but now the situation has become extremely bad. The enemy has predicted the nephew's intentions and
Zhu Fan didn't know where to put his eyes for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the spear stuck behind his eldest nephew. A bit of cold air came from the tip of the spear.
Zhu Xi, the second child, saw that the atmosphere here was not right, so he sneaked over, touched the third child with his elbow, and asked in a low voice,
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
After Zhu Fan whispered a few words in the second brother's ear, the second brother's eyes widened with excitement, and he glanced at his eldest nephew again, and then lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhu Fan didn't notice anything was wrong with his second brother. He looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked tentatively,
"My eldest nephew, do you want to invite the generals over to discuss this?"
Zhu Xiongying said softly,
"Okay, call them all."
"well!"
Zhu Xiongying turned around, grabbed the spear, put it across his knees and wiped it.
The gun is called the Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear, and it comes from the world of [Qin Dynasty].
Fang Tian's painted halberd was used to save his father, and the Emperor's sword was used to guard the Yangtze River. Zhu Xiongying didn't have any weapons at hand, so he exchanged them for a formation-breaking Overlord gun.
This long gun is entirely silver, and the design of the gun head is extremely exaggerated. Different from the ordinary triangular gun head, the gun head of this formation-breaking Overlord gun is in an S shape.
All the edges of the blades have blood grooves opened. As long as they are inserted into the enemy's body, the internal organs can be disrupted in one stroke, and even gods can't save them.
Coupled with a dozen short halberds, this is Zhu Xiongying's magic weapon in this battle.
Zhu Xiongying himself also knew that the biggest uncertain factor in this war was himself.
When to use your invincible force will directly affect the direction of the war. The enemy can predict our army's sneak attack, but they can never predict the existence of the Humanoid Gundam.
While he was thinking about it, a group of generals came over.
"Your Highness."
"Well, sit down."
Zhu Fan took the opportunity to sit next to Zhu Xiongying, and his second uncle, who had been standing there for a long time, also reacted and sat on the other side of Zhu Xiongying.
Tang He, Fu Youde, Yuan Zuozhong, Gao Ni, and Meng Tian also sat down one after another.
Fu Youde's face was impatient and eager to speak. It was obvious that Zhu Fan had already told him a few words just now.
"General Fu, tell me."
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said.
The generals could still laugh when they saw His Highness, and the shadows lingering in their hearts had also dissipated a lot. At least they seemed a little more relaxed. At times like this, key figures should not be messed up.
Fu Youde's breathing became much calmer, he paused and said,
"Your Highness, the enemy has stationed troops in Kohewo.
It should be just a guess that we will make a sneak attack, but we are not sure whether we will actually make a sneak attack, nor the time of our sneak attack. "
Tang He nodded. Obviously, the two veteran generals who had experienced hundreds of battles had a more stable mentality.
The second and third children were silent. Apparently they didn't listen to Fu Youde's words. They didn't know what they were thinking.
Yuan Zuozhong took over the conversation and said,
"General Fu, Kohevo is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The terrain is also high. We are attacking from low to high. If the enemy is prepared in advance, it will be too difficult to attack.
Moreover, we are all cavalry..."
Yuan Zuozhong did not continue, but everyone also understood that cavalry is undoubtedly a powerful weapon in the open areas of the plains.
But if the cavalry is allowed to attack the city, it would be too difficult to attack a majestic city.
Originally, everyone was preparing to catch the enemy unawares, but if the enemy is already prepared, the role of the cavalry will be greatly reduced.
Tang He said in a deep voice, "Should we wait until His Highness King Yan's side is in place? The two armies will take care of each other and attack, and it shouldn't be a big problem to capture this city."
"Can't wait any longer!"
Zhu Ping said loudly, and the generals couldn't help but look at His Highness. Zhu Ping frowned and said,
"The Fourth Brother's side should be in danger."
Tang He stared and asked, "Your Highness, how do you say this?"
The second child's tone was extremely certain, not like speculation, as if things really happened. The second child hugged his arms and said with an ugly expression,
"If I were an enemy general, I wouldn't need to worry too much since I've deployed heavy troops in Kohewo.
This is indeed the case. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be difficult to defeat it with just our troops.
Therefore, for them, no matter whether the Ming army makes a sneak attack or not, the deployment in Kohevo is over, and the next step is to remain unchanged in response to changes.
With this end settled, there is only one possible direction for the enemy to attack..."
The third child, Zhu Fan, nodded and said,
"It's exactly what the second brother said. If they are smart enough, they don't need to care about our direction.
All you need to do is lead the troops eastward and intercept the fourth brother's soldiers and horses. The fourth brother's soldiers and horses are a lone army. If they are discovered, they will definitely die. "
Zhu Ping irritably lit the fire with gravel.
The offensive and defensive momentum changes rapidly.
Zhu Di's army is a double-edged sword. If it is not discovered, it will be a surprise soldier. If it is discovered, it will be in vain.
Because Zhu Di's troops went deep alone, with no reinforcements at all, and they also penetrated deep into the territory of the Kipchak Khanate. They were unfamiliar with the place. As long as they were pursued, it was only a matter of time before the entire army was annihilated.
Fu Youde exclaimed,
"Then we can't just abandon King Yan!"
