Yes, Zhu Su's strategy prompted the Yuan army to give up on a quick battle and instead ask for food and grass from their headquarters.
Then surprise soldiers came out to rob their food routes, causing the offense and defense to change shape!
And this Qingshan Pass was the "turning place" Zhu Su had racked his brains to select for this battle. Surrounded by mountains on both sides, this place is far away from Naha's headquarters and Guantong's partial division. It is also located in a low valley. The cold wind is still howling at night in the north, and this place is the only place suitable for camping overnight on this road. .
Therefore, Zhu Su secretly ordered Zhu Di and Chang Mao to ambush here. When the north city gate was open and the Yuan army's attention was focused on the more than 20,000 prisoners, he secretly opened the south city gate and asked Zhu Di to lead his troops in a detour. Ambush at Qingshan Pass.
Originally, according to Zhu Su's intention, Zhu Di was asked to take as many Ming troops as possible out of the city to set up an ambush. The bet was that the Yuan army would not attack the city the next day. If the bet was wrong, the Yuan army would still attack the city. In the worst case, the militiamen would be used to temporarily resist. If it doesn't work, abandon the city. This can ensure that the ambush troops will not lose. But Zhu Di refused. He and Chang Mao insisted on bringing only a thousand elite troops. The reason is that there are only nearly a thousand horses in the city. Instead of bringing a large number of slow-moving infantry, it is better to directly attack with the windy cavalry. Although the number is smaller, it can be a small gain.
It can only be said that Zhu Laosi and Zhu Laosu are fundamentally different in their use of troops. The fifth child, Zhu Su, is more striving for stability and is used to crushing others with absolute power. Even if you are planning against others, you would rather pay more to ensure that the strategy can be implemented stably. The fourth child, Zhu Di, is even more sharp in his military use. He is good at finding the enemy's core weakness in chaos, and then kills him with one blow.
For example, this time, his goal from the beginning was to be the head coach of the Yuan Army!
"Catch...catch him!" Nai'er Buhua shouted loudly. This young man calls himself "this king", which means that he is one of the princes from the Ming court who came here. In other words, this person is the coach of the Ming Army!
Although I was shocked and doubtful about the courage of this Ming prince, he dared to personally take the enemy general's head among thousands of troops. But is this not his opportunity? If he could capture the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, not only would the ambush be destroyed without attack, he would also be able to accomplish a great feat...
The soldiers around Nai'er Buhua swarmed up, and the Ming soldiers guarding Zhu Di were not afraid either. The two groups of people immediately became entangled. As a prince, Zhu Di had amazing martial arts skills and stabbed several Yuan soldiers to death one after another on horseback.
"What a brave and brave prince!" Nai'er was frightened when he saw it. Princes of the Ming Dynasty should be pampered and well-off people. I heard that the fifth prince Zhu Su in Changli County was also frail and sick. Where did such a brave prince come from?
The formation of the Yuan army continued to collapse. What was even more critical was that because Nai'er did not focus all his attention on Zhu Di and neglected the command of his opponent's Yuan army, a full five thousand grain transport army was actually in Changmao with a thousand men. Continuously retreated under the impact. The morale of the Ming army was high, but Nai'er Buhua felt more and more guilty. Finally, Zhu Di raised a sword, but Nai'er Buhua accidentally dropped the sword in his hand.
"No!" Nai'er was not surprised, and completely lost his will to fight. He quickly turned his horse's head, thinking of abandoning his soldiers and walking away first as a sign of respect. But before he had time to let go of the horse's legs, he saw a Zen staff coming at him with a whistling wind. He quickly lowered his head to avoid it, but the head of the war horse under his crotch made a "pop" and was directly smashed to pieces by the staff. !
"What a powerful force!" Nai'er Buhua was horrified, and he felt a murderous aura coming from in front of him. The murderous intent was no less intense than the nightmare Chang Yuchun in his heart!
"Among the Han people, there are actually outstanding people like Chang Yuchun!" Nai'er Buhua thought in horror as she fell off her horse.
However, this was the last thought in his mind. Immediately afterwards, he was thrown off the horse in various ways, and then the back of his neck felt cold. King Yan Zhu Di cut him with a sword on the horse, and a six-yang leader suddenly shot up. Fly high!
"It's you!" After Zhu Di killed Nai'er, he looked up when he had time to see which warrior helped him. Then he was surprised to find that the person who helped him was a tall monk riding a black horse.
"The Fourth Highness is actually so brave. The Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty is really full of heroes!" The tall monk in monk's robe laughed. "Since Your Highness has beheaded the thief, why don't you quickly order the sergeant?"
Zhu Di just woke up from a dream, quickly picked up Nai'er Buhua's head, and shouted loudly: "The thief general Nai'er Buhua has been beheaded, why don't you quickly abandon your weapons and surrender?"
The Ming army who heard Zhu Di's cry immediately repeated it loudly. For a while, the news that Nai'er Buhua was killed by King Yan's formation spread throughout the valley. The Yuan army either scattered and fled, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered. No one continued to resist.
"Hahahahaha, have fun, have fun!" Chang Mao, covered in blood, laughed and walked towards Zhu Di. "You actually took off the enemy general's head directly... Your Highness, Fourth Highness, I am always convinced by you!" He took a few steps closer and saw the figure walking alongside Zhu Di beside him. The pupils immediately shrank sharply.
"It's you?"
Chang Mao immediately stepped forward with his spear and protected Zhu Di behind him. How could he not recognize the tall and strong monk in front of him? It was Zhang Dingbian, the former number one general under Chen Youliang who knocked him unconscious in front of the battle with a stick and was persuaded by Zhu Su to go to northern Xinjiang to resist the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty: Zhang Dingbian.
"Hahahaha, it's you, the Chang family boy." Zhang Dingbian saw Chang Mao and laughed boldly: "My martial arts has improved a lot. You are worthy of being a descendant of Chang Shiwan." He touched it unconsciously. Touching the arrow wound on his arm, he looked at Chang Mao's face with a look of nostalgia.
"But compared to your father in the past, you are still far behind. You still need to continue to improve!"
Chang Mao hesitated when he heard the words, and his face turned red. He also knew that he was not as far away as his father. Although he had conquered the Duke's title, his military achievements were far inferior to those of those marquises. Apart from his father Yu Yin, he had almost no military power left in the army. Among the nobles, there are also many people who say behind their backs that they are "the father of a tiger and the son of a dog" and "arrogant to the high nobility".
It is for this reason that Chang Maocai always takes the lead in every battle and is not afraid of life or death.
"Brother Chang, don't be nervous. If this person hadn't helped, I wouldn't have killed Nai'er Buhua so easily." Zhu Di comforted Chang Mao, then turned to Zhang Ding and said, "I don't know why General Zhang appeared. Are you here? Can you tell me?" There was also warning in his tone.
Seeing that Zhu Di was still vigilant, Zhang Dingbian secretly praised him and said: "A certain person is already an outsider. Your Highness the Fourth Prince does not need to call him a general. He can just call him a layman."
"That's it. I was hunting the scattered Yuan people outside the customs, but I accidentally learned a piece of news a few days ago."
"I wonder if your Fifth Highness of the Ming Dynasty is in Changli? I am about to inform your Fifth Highness of this extremely urgent matter!"
