In fact, a group of generals and deputy generals misunderstood Zhu Youjian.
How could Zhu Youjian be so good at deceiving people? He is not a traitor. He deceives people and disowns his relatives, including his father, brothers, and sons...Zhu Youjian is really not that evil. When has he ever deceived his father and brothers? Not at all? And he never cheated his son.
In addition, Zhu Youjian likes to charge into battle more than Nizi. He is more superstitious than Nizi, believing that he has a destiny and is the chosen one who cannot be killed.
Moreover, Zhu Youjian also likes to shoot black guns and black guns... These two skills are the best in the world!
It would be fine if Huang Taiji was not discovered by him. If he were to find him, he would use a black gun or a 24-pound black pot cannon. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, it would be in vain.
Besides, Huang Taiji's martial arts cannot be higher than Zhu Youjian's. The two are going to have an upright duel, and Zhu Youjian will definitely win.
Seeing Zhu Youjian arrogantly going to ride a Persian horse, Zhao Shujiao, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou Town, once again stood up uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, let me come forward!"
Zhu Youjian looked back at General Zhao, who looked like an old Huang Zhong. He was over 60 years old, why were he still going up there? Do you want to be a loyal martyr? No need... you were cheated in your last life, but you have no chance in this life, because I don't have many loyal men under me, so just die on the bed of illness!
Zhu Youjian said: "General Zhao, you are too old to fight in battle. You should stay here and command the army to cross the river!"
"Long live my lord," how can Zhao Shujiao be willing to obey the old man? He said angrily, "Although I am old, I still have the courage to be honest! If your Majesty must cross the river, I am willing to protect you by your side!"
Are you protecting me? Zhu Youjian looked at Mr. Zhao and thought: I can't do enough to protect you!
"General Zhao," Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "If you really don't trust me, then ask your servants to follow me across the river."
Servant? Of course Zhao Shujiao was reluctant to part with it... That was the capital of his son and grandson to serve as commander-in-chief! If it was given to Zhu Youjian to mess around with, how could the Zhao family still mess around?
"What? Don't want to give up?" Zhu Youjian asked with a smile.
How dare Zhao Shujiao say no? He said quickly: "I am willing to give up, I am willing to give up...I will let Quanzi Guangyuan lead them to guard the Long Live Lord."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Your son Zhao Guangyuan has a reputation for bravery, but he just lacks a chance to make meritorious deeds. This time he will go with me to kill Huang Taiji. If he succeeds... he will be qualified to be the commander-in-chief." Got it!"
Zhu Youjian was quite confident about killing Huang Taiji!
"Old minister, I would like to thank Lord Long live for cultivating Quan Zi!"
Zhu Youjian laughed and turned his eyes to the other two generals and six deputy generals present. The meaning was very clear - take out the servants too!
"Long live your Majesty," Zu Dashou said with a smile, "I have 1,500 servants and cavalry, which will be divided between my two sons. Let them follow Your Majesty to perform meritorious service!"
Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded: "Easy to say, easy to say!"
Pretend, keep pretending! Zhu Youjian said in his heart: It would be great if the five ministers, four ministers, and three ministers in your family could pretend to be the loyal ministers.
"Your Majesty," He Kegang also said, "I also have 1,000 servants. They will be led by my brothers and they will be brought to the north bank of Xiaoling River for Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I have 500 servants..."
"Your Majesty, I also have servants..."
Ji Liao's third general and sixth deputy general all have servants. The number of servants brought to the front line of Xiaolinghe alone is around 6,000. Most of them are now coaxed out by Zhu Youjian with a few words - there must be some left for others. around.
There were many people following Zhu Youjian across the river now. He brought about 2,000 cavalry, plus about 5,500 servant cavalry, for a total of 7,500 cavalry!
Among the 2,000 cavalry who followed Zhu Youjian all the way, at least 1,200 were equipped with Lumi guns, and there were also 6 light 3-pound cannons that could follow the cavalry. After several years of development, Xuanfu Gun Factory , the output of the artillery factory has also increased a bit. The annual output of Lumi guns has exceeded 2,000, and the annual output of various types of artillery (except black pot cannons are all bronze cannons) has also reached nearly 200.
This kind of output is incomparable with the output of guns and artillery after Zhu Cihong ruled Jiangnan for six years, but it is enough for Zhu Youjian's cavalry and artillery. As for the turtle dove guns used by infantry, they are still purchased from Guangdong... Stimulated by Huangzhuang's purchase, the production of Foshan turtle dove guns has increased rapidly. Now it can supply more than 1,000 guns every month. Most of them are Bought by Zhu Youjian.
In addition, the Jiliao Army, which has relatively abundant financial resources, also imitated the Xuanfu Cannon Factory and hired Portuguese craftsmen and craftsmen from Guangdong and Fujian (the leader of the Jiliao Army is from Guangdong, and the artillerymen who use Hongyi Cannon are all from Fujian). A cannon factory was opened in Ningyuan, which can produce new firearms such as the 12-pound short-barreled red barbarian cannon and the 3-pound small red barbarian cannon. However, the output is lower than that of the Xuanfu Cannon Factory, with only forty or fifty guns per year, mainly supplying the Jiliao Army.
Although the output of such new firearms is not as good as Nizi's achievements back then, it is still enough to deal with the Later Jin Dynasty.
...
Just as Zhu Youjian led the cavalry across the Xiaoling River, the battle situation on the north bank of the Xiaoling River changed again.
Due to the appearance of a large number of Eight Banners cavalry, Yuan Chonghuan's first wave of attacks had ended, and he retreated to the beach and re-deployed a Que Yue formation.
Unlike the previous Queyue Formation, which consisted of 5 spear formations, the new Queyue Formation consisted of 6 spear formations with a wider front, and was also supported by the artillery of the Jiliao Army that had just crossed the river. If the Jin army wants to send out their carriages again, they will be bombarded.
The Queyue Formation with artillery cover was certainly invincible, but the cavalry of the Hou Jin Army also curbed Yuan Chonghuan's offensive.
The appearance of Huang Taiji's banner and the Eight Banners infantry and cavalry also made Yuan Chonghuan become cautious.
Although the impact of the spear array is very strong, it can easily suffer heavy losses from flexible mounted fire attacks. Therefore, before his own cavalry crossed the river, Yuan Chonghuan could only temporarily suppress his thoughts of a decisive battle with the Hou Jin Army. He ordered the spearmen who had been charging for a while and had consumed a lot of energy to sit cross-legged on the spot, rest and eat.
At this moment, Zhu Youjian crossed the Xiaoling River in a sand boat and appeared in front of Yuan Chonghuan.
"Captain Yuan, how much did you gain?" Zhu Youjian got off the boat. When he saw Yuan Chonghuan, who was still in a state of excitement, he knew that this guy had just won the battle.
"Long live the Lord," Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile, "I have just severely damaged the Xianglan Banner headquarters of the slave thieves, beheaded more than 700 people, captured 15 squatting tiger cannons, and captured more than 100 slave thieves... It can be regarded as A great victory."
This kind of achievement is indeed an unprecedented victory if we put it in the past!
But it can’t be done now, because slaves and thieves depreciate in value if there are too many of them! In the past, it was the Eight Banners, and now it is the Eight Banners. It has expanded eight times. How can it be possible without losing value?
"Have you found any traces of Huang Taiji?" Zhu Youjian asked about Huang Taiji's situation again.
What he cares about most now is Huang Taiji... As long as he can be killed, the Ming Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai. Because Zhu Youjian knows that no one in Houjin can easily replace Huang Taiji.
Haoge can't do it, Dorgon can't do it, let alone Daishan and Mang Gurtai.
Therefore, once Huang Taiji died, Houjin's country would definitely be in chaos, and there would be no peace within a few years, and his vitality might be seriously damaged.
"Long live Lord, we have discovered Huang Taiji's banner!" Yuan Chonghuan said, "It is a square dragon flag with a yellow background...five or six miles away."
What Yuan Chonghuan was talking about was actually Hauge's subordinate who pretended to be Huang Taiji. Hauge's bluffing skills were pretty good and he suppressed Governor Yuan as soon as he appeared on the scene.
Zhu Youjian nodded and asked, "Do you know how many people there are?"
"I'm not sure, but there are always 30,000 to 50,000 people." Yuan Chonghuan said, "I don't have cavalry, so I can't tell the truth. I can only judge from the smoke and dust of the advancing army."
"That's not allowed..." Zhu Youjian thought for a while, "When the cavalry arrive, I will go and check the truth personally... to see if there is any chance to kill Huang Taiji, this scourge!"
