On the north bank of Xiaoling River, there is the beachhead camp of the Ming Army.
When it was already dark, Zu Kefa returned from the camp of the Hou Jin Army to the brightly lit camp of the Ming Army.
Zhu Youjian set up a bright camp on each side of the Xiaoling River. The two camps were brightly lit. The light from lanterns and bonfires covered both sides of the Xiaoling River like two seas of stars on the ground. Between the two star seas, there are two "star bridges" flying over the Xiaoling River to connect the north and the south. These are two pontoon bridges that were built on the Xiaoling River this evening using 50 grain-carrying sand boats. of.
With these two pontoon bridges, even if the Hou Jin Army's Xiaoling River defense line was broken through by Zhu Youjian, the army on the south bank of the Xiaoling River could continuously cross the river. The next step would be a decisive battle with Huang Taiji (actually not in Jinzhou) .
When Zu Kefa arrived at the imperial tent, Zhu Youjian had not yet slept with Batma Hong in his arms. He was still discussing with Yuan Chonghuan and the three generals and six deputy generals of the Jiliao Army how to fight the decisive battle.
By the way, now the three generals, six deputy generals, and the governor-general Yuan Chonghuan have become infantry generals under Zhu Youjian. Each of them has thousands of infantry and a very small number of cavalry. Most of the servants and cavalry of the three generals and six deputy generals are still in Zhu Youjian's hands!
Before the Battle of Jinzhou is over, Zhu Youjian will not return these 5500 servant cavalry... This is a rare opportunity to win over the warriors. After Jinzhou and Yingzhou are captured, Zhu Youjian will return You can easily give meritorious servants and cavalry some land in Jin and Ying states. From now on, they will be the knights in front of the tent!
Of course, this good news cannot be told to the governor, three generals, and six lieutenants now. Now is not the time to celebrate, now we have to consider how to kill Huang Taiji... If Yin was not that damn fat man, he would have to storm the Hou Jin Army's camp!
"Kefa, how is it? Is Huang Taiji in Jinzhou? Can you see him?"
Seeing Zu Kefa coming in excitedly, Zhu Youjian rushed to ask questions without waiting for him to salute.
Zukofa said: "Long live my lord, I see Huang Taiji... He is quite fat, with a Chinese character face, a mustache, he is tall and looks very imposing."
In fact, what he saw was Fan Wencai. Fan Wencai's appearance was better than that of the real Huang Taiji. Although he talked about being a slave all day long, his appearance and behavior showed that he didn't look like a slave at all, and he was also very powerful. He was no better than Zhu Youjian or Zhu Youjian. Hutu Dunhan and Huang Taiji are three true kings.
Zhu Youjian asked again: "Then he agreed to meet me, no, he met with Governor Yuan?"
"Agreed!" Zukefa nodded and said, "He agreed to meet President Yuan... 300 steps away!"
Finally got an appointment!
Zhu Youjian laughed loudly, and if he made an appointment, he would be waiting for him!
"Who is Huang Taiji going to photograph for an interview?" Zhu Youjian asked again.
He was just trying to beat the rabbit out of the grass. It would be great if he could kill Huang Taiji and kill some Baylor at the same time.
"It's the eldest brother Hauge." Zukofa said.
"It's him!" Zhu Youjian nodded, "Okay...I'll go talk to him!"
Zhu Youjian wants to take action personally!
"Long live my Lord," Yuan Chonghuan said quickly, "This Hauge has a reputation for bravery and outstanding martial arts skills!"
Zukefa also said: "Your Majesty, I and Huang Taiji have agreed that the envoys for the bilateral talks tomorrow will not bring sharp blades, blunt weapons, bows and arrows, and long-handled weapons..."
Without bringing anything, can Zhu Youjian still take down Hauge with his bare hands?
Zhu Youjian waved his hand: "It doesn't matter! With my martial arts, I can win Hauge without those things."
The generals present all secretly raised eyebrows and expressed admiration - Lord Long Live is indeed the best warrior in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Youjian smiled proudly, then turned back to his beloved concubine, Batma Hong, and said, "Prepare two spinning firecrackers for me!"
What? Wheel of firecrackers! Is this considered martial arts?
"Wei Zaode!"
Zhu Youjian smiled and called the name of "Sai Zhuge" Wei Zaode again. This guy has been working with Zhu Youjian as the head of the bodyguard group since he was selected as the top pick in high school - in fact, he was Zhu Youjian's Students should learn mathematics, the investigation of objects, Latin, Taizu's art of war, and martial arts on horseback and dismount. It made him doubt life!
This guy has been a top student since he was a child and is good at everything he studies and passes all the exams! When he thought about it, there was nothing in the world that he couldn't learn.
But since I followed Zhu Youjian, I realized how difficult it is to learn!
It's so difficult!
He came to Zhu Youjian's side in the fourth year of Chongzhen Emperor's reign. For two whole years, he didn't learn Latin... and he still can't write poems in Latin! I can’t even read a Latin version of the Bible!
He wasn't good at mathematics either. He originally thought that arithmetic was just about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and at most he used an abacus to make accounts. But who knew there were a bunch of weird equations, graphics, and integrals and calculus. Yes, it sounds difficult!
It’s even harder to check things!
What about light, force, and elements? It sounds more like cultivating immortals... Oh, and you have to refine arsenic and gunpowder, which looks dangerous!
But what Wei Tanhua couldn't stand the most was the "physical education" class. Wei Tanhua is a true academic master. She can learn more knowledge in two years than an ordinary person can learn in ten years of hard study! Although he has not finished studying Latin, mathematics, and quwu studies (when will he finish mathematics and quwu studies?), he still has the direction, but his limbs are not well developed!
Wei Zaode couldn't learn the traditional martial arts well. His horseman fell to the ground, his archery missed the target, he fired a blunderbuss and fired out...the only ones that were more reliable were cannon shooting and digging holes (artillery) , the ability of engineers)!
"I'm here!" When Zhu Youjian called him, Wei Zaode, who was silently reciting the Latin Bible in his heart (not to believe in God, but to learn a foreign language), quickly left the class to salute.
"Tomorrow you are responsible for counting steps!" Zhu Youjian said, "You follow Zukfa to see Huang Taiji, and then walk back and count the steps. You have to count accurately, 300 steps, and you can't miss one step!"
Counting steps is for sex!
Zhu Youjian can't use the Hongyi cannon, it's aimed directly! There is no way to block it, just push a few doors and come out, and people will see it... Huang Taiji is not stupid, why is he willing to stand there and let the cannons hit him? You must hide! If he lay down to avoid the cannon, the Hongyi cannon would be unable to hit.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian could only use 4 black pot cannons to kill Huang Taiji, but the accuracy of the black pot cannons was very poor. If you want to hit more accurately, firstly, the target cannot be too far away. The distance of 300 steps is ideal; secondly, you must accurately measure the distance. Only when you measure accurately can you hit accurately!
"I accept the order!" When Wei Zaode heard that it was just a few steps, he immediately accepted the order happily - he looked at the flower, how could he make a mistake after just a few steps? Moreover, counting steps is the basic skill of Zhu Youjian's artillerymen. If they don't know how to do this, the artillery will not hit.
"Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, Qin Mingtao, Cao Bianjiao!"
Zhu Youjian then named five more generals.
"I'm here!"
Five people went out together.
They are all Zhu Youjian's confidants and generals of the cavalry in front of the tent. If they were placed in other armies, they would at least be deputy commander-in-chief.
"Each of you will lead 1,000 servants and cavalry!" Zhu Youjian said, "Tomorrow, after the cannon fires, take the left path and circle behind the slave camp. If you encounter the slave cavalry blocking the way, we must resolutely defeat it!"
"Got the order!"
Five people took orders together.
"Captain Yuan!" Zhu Youjian called Yuan Chonghuan's name again.
"I'm here."
"Leave all the infantry to you!" Zhu Youjian said, "No matter whether we can kill Huang Taiji tomorrow or not, you must capture the slave camp for me!"
As he spoke, his tone became serious, and he glanced at the large tent, "Whether we can pacify Liao and exterminate slaves within five years depends on tomorrow's battle... As long as Huang Taiji dies, The slave and traitor army was defeated, and within five years, the Liao Dynasty could be settled. You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never treat you badly... As long as you have merit, you will be made a prince, rewarded to thousands of households, and given tens of thousands of gold. , no problem!
But if anyone fails to fight and kill the enemy, I will not spare him! "
