The woods in the north are still calm, why haven’t Feng Youxian’s cavalry come out yet?
In just half a stick of incense, Zhu Yong looked at it for dozens of times, and the feeling of experiencing it was roughly like this.
It is logical that the horse team, who was ready to go, received the order to pass through the woods that were not deep, but it was just a blink of an eye.
What's the fucking problem with this?Zhu Yong has been restraining his irritability from the beginning, but at this time he could no longer bear it and became anxious and uneasy.
Send someone to go!
Zhu Yong drew out his knife and waved it a few times in the air, roaring in a roaring voice.
His subordinates did not dare to neglect him. From Zhu Yong's face, people had already seen him angry. If he accidentally got offended, he would be killed by a knife.
The people in the purged square opposite were trotting closer and closer, neither too fast nor slow, and the speed seemed to have never changed at all. This momentum made Zhu Yong feel pressured, as if those people would not be blocked by anything.
Perhaps Zhu Yong's anger scared the people below, or perhaps those people were afraid of taking responsibility, but no one asked for advice at this moment what should we do.
The anxiety made Zhu Yong's mind very uneasy. At the critical moment, he kept reminding himself to calm down and responded. Many thoughts emerged in his mind, including a trance-like shadow flashing, which had nothing to do with the war in front of him.
A woman with blood in her eyes, ears, nose and mouth flashed in front of her eyes. Her face was bloodless, naked, and her snow-white breasts were covered with blood.
This thought flashed like lightning. Zhu Yong didn't even know what she looked like, but he knew in his heart that this woman was the wife of the magistrate who was raped and killed in Shimen County.
Zhu Yong seemed to be nothing at that time, but he regretted it afterwards, feeling that it was completely unnecessary to do that. He was just impulsive and couldn't help but become unscrupulous in the submissiveness of everyone around him. When desire was ejaculated, he immediately regretted it.
But soon he felt that it was not a serious matter and didn't care too much about it.
Unexpectedly, a small thing that had almost been forgotten by him emerged again when he was nervous.
Zhu Yong did not believe in evil. He thought that his murderous aura would retreat even if it was a ghost.
But at this moment, there was a subtle feeling in his subconscious mind, and those subtle things were vaguely reminding him that all decisions made in impulse and anger were wrong.
So he immediately rejected his idea of ordering to draw a group of troops and be led by his trusted servants to move to the rebels to the flanks and counterattack.
This is just anger at work. Perhaps the counterattack cannot really play any role and may be defeated in the midst of chaos!
Zhu Yong rode on the horse with a blue face, looking at the chaos in front of the camp, under the influence of the chaos soldiers who returned from the first round of defeat, half of the entire infantry formation squeezed into a group and almost lost their combat effectiveness.
Some generals took their personal soldiers and rode their horses and shouted in the chaos to control the situation, but to no avail.
The remaining half of the troops were also full of soldiers during the explosion of the shells. Many people looked at the sky, worried that when a shell would fall.
Although there are thousands of people here, Zhu Yong made himself believe that the soldiers had no morale to fight.
He immediately issued an order: to cut off a group of troops, and then the rear army will be the front army, and the troops that still maintain the establishment will temporarily retreat westward.
He soon discovered that he had made a common sense childish mistake.
The rebels' attack had been less than two hundred steps, and they ordered a retreat in the last battle, and the disastrous consequences happened without any surprise.
The so-called "dead rear-end" troops were shaken when they found that their troops were retreating, and then under the impact and influence of their own riots, they were defeated before they were attacked.
When he was driven out of the battlefield in a mess and was defeated, Zhu Yong finally saw cavalry running out one after another on the edge of the woods...
……
After only one day of battle, Zhu Yong was defeated and lost almost half of his infantry.
Most of them were not killed by the enemy, but were trampled to death by their own people in the chaos; the biggest loss was to escape, and many military households took advantage of the chaos to become deserters.
After the war battle calmed down for the time being, he couldn't help but wonder: What would have been the result if he did not order a retreat at that time, but instead tried his best to organize the infantry to launch a counterattack?
Even if the infantry was already difficult to use at that time, it was because there were too many people and the attack could not work, at least it could hold back and restrain the bandit army; by the time the cavalry quickly entered the battlefield, it might have already broken the bandit army's camp.
Zhu Yong has participated in many wars, whether in northern Xinjiang or Jiaozhi, and he dare not say that his father Zhu Neng used troops like a god in most battles, but there was nothing to blame; if he and Zhu Yong could not win the war, most of the generals of the Ming Dynasty would not have achieved better results.
But the most ridiculous mistake happened in this small battle.
Why did I order a retreat?He himself can't understand.
Zhu Yong was absolutely unwilling to admit that it was his own problem. There is another explanation for the failure: the military forces in the garrison were low in combat power and their command was not effective.
At that time, Feng Youxian's cavalry failed to enter the battlefield in time and did not appear until the second order, which led to failure!
The cavalry chief Feng Youxian was kneeling under the tent and trying hard to explain: Bei Zhi really did not receive the first order, and everyone on both sides could testify. Bei Zhi only received once from beginning to end!And he immediately started to advance. When he rushed to the Yuanshui River, he found that our infantry had collapsed. Even so, Bei Yi still launched an attack because he did not receive the order to give up the attack.The soldiers were not afraid of death and fought to attack the bandit formation sideways and cut them off in half. Unexpectedly, the enemy camp was divided and did not collapse, and they quickly changed the queue to fight to the death with our cavalry...
Zhu Yong turned his head slightly and asked his aide in a low voice: Have you found out the number of messengers sent out for the first time?
The staff member replied: If you found out your name, but you didn't catch anyone, you might have escaped long ago, or you might be ambushed on the road...
Someone must pay responsibilities for this failure. Even if he seized the commander who missed the opportunity for his dereliction of duty, he would be too low to explain the grade; let alone no one caught it.
Feng Youxian... Zhu Yong frowned and looked at him. Are you carrying weapons when you entered the tent?
Feng Youxian looked down and hurriedly said: Bei Zhi was summoned, but he forgot about it for a moment, so he will be relieved.
Zhu Yong said: Come on, remove his armor and weapons and arrest him!
General!Become a Duke!
Feng Youxian's face suddenly changed and he said in a pleading tone. The knife wound on my waist is still bleeding. For the sake of my life, you can give me a chance to make up for my merits.Next time I attack the bandits' army, please ask the general to be the vanguard, and never retreat without fighting until the last drop of blood!
Zhu Yong felt a little reluctant, but he still said coldly: I issued an order to attack in front of the formation. Will you still tell lies in front of the generals?You have missed the opportunity to fight and have many excuses. You must thoroughly check whether there is any collusion with the thief army.
I can't die with sin, and the people of the Feng family can't be shamed for me... Feng Youxian seemed to understand something, and said with despair on his face, "You asked me to die in battle, even if you were chopped into meat paste on the battle formation, even if you only had horse leather to wrap your body after death, I would be willing."I am serving in the army and dying on the battlefield is a lifelong wish. I cannot die with shame...
Come and take it!
Zhu Yong was in a very bad mood. After being the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and a famous general, he was defeated by the enemy with six times his strength. This would be a stain on his life.It must be retrieved, and it cannot be admitted to failure.
He looked back and said: Reorganize the troops as soon as possible and attack Gaodu again. I want to crush this city into dust!
The general hurriedly advised: Although there are few thieves, they are elite soldiers, and their weapons are far better than those of the official army. Our army suffered heavy losses in the battle, and their troops were damaged and their morale was low. It is not advisable to fight in a hurry.But our Ming Dynasty controlled a million yuan, why didn’t Duke Cheng write a letter to instruct the elite troops in Changsha and attack them with the force of winning?
Even now, we still have more than 3,000 troops in our hands and are still confident of winning. Why do we need to mobilize our troops and then mobilize our troops?
Zhu Yong clenched his fists.
He thought to himself that he had suffered an unexpected loss before. Who would have thought that the firearms could have such power? How could they do it? He still had to ask those people who studied weapons in the Nanzhen Fushi Department; but now he has known the opponent, and fighting again will never be like yesterday.
The general said again: Duke Cheng refused to mobilize the troops, so he could wait a little longer. The Yuezhou Guards had more than 2,000 people, and they were already close to Lizhou.Send someone to urge Qin Yousheng. As long as we wait for the Yuezhou army, our army will be able to restore its lineup.
At this time, another person stood up and said: The rebels won in this battle with firearms, and even more so by surprise.Our army was not sure about the situation before, and the soldiers suddenly encountered something they had never encountered, so they could not help panic.If we fight again, we will naturally not be caught off guard again, and the situation is not as bad as you think.Besides, the firearm array is not invincible. For example, if you bombard it with cannons, the thief army will be dense and will suffer heavy losses.
Zhu Yong was a little familiar with this, and seemed to have heard it somewhere. He suddenly asked: Is this... what Liu Heju said?
After seeing the rebel firepower, Zhu Yong also remembered what Liu Heju said, and felt that he was a little wronged at that time, so he remembered this name.
The general is wise and obedient, he really listens to what President Liu Qian said... The general leads the way, and the humble position is ashamed.
What else did he say?Zhu Yong said.
The general stuttered and finally said: What Mr. Liu Qian said in his original words, and he couldn't remember very clearly, and he was not very popular... It probably means that he once made a statement in front of Duke Cheng and reminded you and all the generals, but you sneered at it and even suffered a crushing defeat.
Everyone was very upset after hearing this, and some of them cursed: Isn’t he also a defeated general under the thief army? What’s the point of being proud of?
The general said: Mr. Liu Qian is indeed a little ignorant. Although he is Mr. Qian now, he was a commander before, so even I don’t take it seriously.
In just half a stick of incense, Zhu Yong looked at it for dozens of times, and the feeling of experiencing it was roughly like this.
It is logical that the horse team, who was ready to go, received the order to pass through the woods that were not deep, but it was just a blink of an eye.
