The whole journey from Longtou Temple in Chenzhou Prefecture to Gaodu County in Changde Prefecture is only a few dozen miles away. The spacious road goes down the Yuan River; the weather is also very clear.
But just like these dozens of miles, Zhu Yong led his army to walk slowly for three days.
He was not in a hurry. If he was too anxious to move, his physical strength after entering the battlefield would be affected.
This chase scene took nearly a month from Luxi to Yongding Acropolis, to Longtou Temple, and then to Gaodu County.
However, he never thought that the division of troops would accelerate the decisive battle, but it would also weaken his overall combat power; Zhu Yong had never looked up to those bandits, but he had never looked down upon them. A team of thousands of people, defeating the Yongding Guards, defeating the Changde Guards commanded by Luo, and capturing the counties in succession, will never be a mob that will collapse at once.
Therefore, underestimating the enemy and advancing should be avoided.
Zhu Yong is actually a bad temper, but he showed great patience in the war, even if his opponent is just a bandit.
He just led his troops around in circles without any rush, patiently waiting for the moment of the decisive battle; his many battlefield experiences made him understand a truth: before the moment of victory or defeat, he always had to go through a long and boring mobilization march, but the most important thing was the last moment.
Just like the process of marching, no matter whether you run a hundred miles or a thousand miles, it is not as if you finish it, and fighting with the remaining strength is the goal and destination.
Therefore, Zhu Yong, a irritable person, can keep his breath and go around in circles, and can also marches slowly at a distance that is within reach of prey.Because no one who kills wants to lose or be killed.
On the march, there were constant reports of horses and posts, and there were also constant suggestions from the generals of the staff.
Zhu Yong was unmoved, he would only pay attention: his prey was in Gaodu County and he did not plan to leave.
This place, which has never been a place that military strategists must fight for, and is easily overlooked, has now become a key place for life and death.
Zhang Ning finally stopped running away, and Zhu Yong had long expected such an ending.There is only such a large area in the West Plain of Dongting. Where can he run and when can he run?
The most efficient way to fight in this era is to concentrate both sides and distinguish between the top and bottom on the same battlefield with great pleasure.
This is the rule that has been summarized from the countless wars that Huangdi used a stone knife to fight and the cooperation between infantry and cavalry and firearms. Zhang Ning was finally willing to return to the rules, and he had no other choice.
Zhu Yong's army was only camping five miles away from the west city of Gaodu County. The next morning, he heard that the enemy troops had left the city to form a formation, so he took a team of light cavalry to see it with his own eyes.
Up to the heights, Zhu Yong observed from a distance and found that he had indeed made some mistakes before: his opponent is definitely not a bandit.
Before he saw the enemy's formation with his own eyes, according to his ideas, it was nothing more than a group of mountain citizens, fugitive criminals, and untouchables, but they were just a little more fierce.
But the situation in front of him surprised him. Although most of the people there sat on the ground, the coloured armor and helmets and the scrupulous lineup were easy to see; from a distance, I couldn't see the clothes clearly, and the wide-range iron helmets were similar to the Ming army in the south. Those who didn't know thought it was an elite official army with strict military discipline.
A group of about a thousand people does not look very spectacular, covering an area as big as half a school ground, and it doesn't feel like there is a crowd of people there.
Their camp was arranged in a long shape, with only six rows in depth, like a line of defense attached to the city wall...
Such a formation method is generally too easy to penetrate the camp; it is more likely to be covered by arrows.
Zhu Yong's eyes moved up and found some iron cannons on the city tower. I guess the rebels wanted to use artillery to suppress the archers?
There seemed to be a few people on the city tower also looking at the hillside. Zhu Yong didn't care. It was nothing to be discovered. It was easy to walk with his own light cavalry.
At this moment, a man behind him said: General, please see, the two rows of spears in front of the enemy were more than meter long, so the line was erected like a forest, but the back three rows were not equipped with spears.Finally, it will be confirmed that those people must use firearms; rebels are sharp, so be careful.
After hearing this, Zhu Yong turned around and found that it was Liu Heju.
This man was originally appointed as the commander of the Acropolis, but he was defeated by the rebels in Yongding Wei and was directly demoted to a thousand households by Zhu Yong. Today, he was unknown which general allowed him, so he followed him.
Why are firearms and soldiers behind?Only after they meet the enemy will they be in the forefront?
Zhu Yong asked casually. He was first surprised by this way of deploying troops, because the Ming army's firearms were placed in front and they were withdrawn from the side after the battle.
He had a bad impression of Liu Heju, but after all, this man had fought with the rebels head-on, perhaps because he knew something.
Liu He raised his head and shook his head and said: The bandit army did not change positions. The spearmen in front just to cover the firearms behind, mainly to defend the horses; because the infantry attacks are not reliable at all, let alone close contact.
You mean that the rebels can attack the rebels' advance with just a few rows of firearms?
Zhu Yong couldn't help laughing. If I attacked with a archer, how would he deal with it?
Zhu Yong said as he looked at the cannons on the city again.
In Zhu Yong's fixed thinking, the range of the musket is only twenty or thirty steps, and there is no way to talk about the accurate head. Especially the magic gun, the flight trajectory of the arrows after the arrows are ejected, and it depends entirely on luck whether they can hit people. However, the lightning and fire are flashing, and the sound is very loud, which can indeed suppress one of the opponent in momentum. Moreover, some horses have never heard of that thing, and may run in panic and disrupt the formation.
Liu He said: The bandits' army is also covered with armor and has wooden shields and rattan cards. The archers can only use light arrows to reach the enemy with a hundred steps, and cannot break the armor. When they reach within a hundred steps, the two armies shoot at each other. The bandits' arms and weapons are fired at the lead balls to see the iron armor without anything. Our army will definitely suffer a loss. Moreover, the sound is like thunder and suddenly the people are tilted up and the horse is like mowing grass and falling down, which will inevitably collapse.
Zhu Yong glanced at him and was too lazy to even scold him.
A general asked: In Brother Liu's opinion, how should the firearm array of the thief army be cracked?
In order to volley firearms and have large numbers of people, the bandit army should first use the general of Tian (a kind of artillery) to blast the formation, and then use cavalry to rush it to kill it, which can be defeated.
The general said seriously: But where did we come from now on?Do you have to wait another month to get someone from Changsha?
This... Liu He said something suddenly.
The general asked again: Are the cannons on the city generals?
Liu Heju just said: I don’t know the last one.
At this time, someone said: The rebels have only been in Gaodu County for a few days. How did they transport heavy general artillery?The cannons on the city may just be wooden cannons!
Zhu Yong turned around and took the reins to get on the horse, and everyone stopped talking.
Zhu Yong turned over the horse, waved the whip in his hand and said: Order the troops to come and form a formation one mile away from the enemy, first defeat the enemy outside the city, and then make plans to attack the city.
Any general will give such an order when facing such a scene. Since the defenders leave the city to set up formation, they will definitely fight the field first, and will not rush to attack the city.
But just like these dozens of miles, Zhu Yong led his army to walk slowly for three days.
He was not in a hurry. If he was too anxious to move, his physical strength after entering the battlefield would be affected.
