Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 378 Li Fangyuan is very calm
In the military tent, brothers Chang Mao and Chang Sheng were still tangling, a young man strode in outside the tent, it was the little Chang Qi who had talked with Chen Yunfu at Chang's house and was quite fond of Chen Yunfu.

This time the North Korean expedition, the sons of the Chang family came out in full force.

If you win, you have everything you need, but if you can't win, hehe.

"Uncle, father."

Chang Qi walked in and saluted the two of them, and the two who were sitting and frowning at each other also came back to their senses. Seeing Chang Qi, Chang Mao showed a smile on his face.

"Qi'er is here, come here."

Looking at Chang Qi in armor in front of him, Chang Mao praised: "My Lin'er has grown up, and with this armor on his body, he looks very heroic."

Chang Qi, who was praised, responded modestly with a shy smile.

Immediately seeing the eyebrows of the two men furrowed tightly, he asked curiously: "Why are uncle and father worried?"

The two looked at each other, Chang Mao sighed, and then told all his worries.

"Qi'er, you are also a member of my Chang family. This matter is related to the future of my Chang family. You can also say a few words."

Chang Qi was frightened and didn't dare to say more, so it was his father Chang Sheng who said: "Your uncle tells you to speak boldly, it doesn't matter."

"Let's talk about it, your uncle and I have no children, and the future inheritance of our Chang family will still be passed on to you."

Chang Mao has no children, so he treats Chang Qi as if he is his own, so he encourages Chang Qi to speak out boldly.

With the encouragement of the two of them, Chang Qi's heart became more at ease, and he dared to speak out his thoughts.

"Uncle, Dad, if the battle is prolonged, will there be any disadvantages?"

"I'm afraid Li Chenggui will come to help."

"How was it then?"

"It's a big defeat, we should withdraw to Liaodong."

Chang Qi replied: "Can I still withdraw it?"

The two Chang Mao who said this were in shock: "What is the explanation for this?"

"Uncle said just now that our Chang family already owes Yan Zhenzhi tens of millions of taels of national debt. We are worried that the land of Sanhan will be in ruins and we will not be able to repay the debt, but we don't want to. What should I use to repay this debt from the court?"

"Isn't there still Liaodong here?"

Chang Qi said loudly: "If Uncle can't conquer North Korea, there will be no more Liaozhou. Even if there is Liaozhou, it will no longer be my Chang family's Liaozhou. With tens of millions of taels of national debt, even if our Chang family tied Together, is it enough to pay off this debt!"

Just as the saying goes, awakening the dreamer with one word, Chang Mao woke up in a fright.

If North Korea cannot be defeated, will he really go back to Liaodong?

For this battle, Guochao asked for money, food, and food. It took two years to prepare for it. Chen Yunfu even went to Guangdong to have a drink with a group of businessmen at the expense of his dignity, and then brought back the 3000 million taels. war debt.

20 elites are entrusted to Chang Mao, can't they win?
Even if he didn't mention what Chen Yunfu would do, as a general, Chang Mao couldn't bear it in his heart.

Think about it, if Emperor Hongwu is in power, if you can't win this battle, would you still dare to live in the world?

Taking a deep breath, Chang Mao nodded and said, "You're right. If you can't win, you really have nothing. Winning is always the most important thing."

"Wang Bi's method can be used, but you can't let Wang Bi do it. This guy is a fool. It doesn't matter how serious you are. Second, you lead troops to do this."

Chang Mao called Chang Sheng and said: "Remember, only burn food and not kill people. At the same time, we will focus on attacking the logistics of transporting food and grass from Kaijing to Li Fangyuan's camp, forcing Li Fangyuan to withdraw from the defense line along the river."

Once Li Fangyuan's Chinese army dares to move lightly and leave the line of defense along the river that is connected together and each other's horns, Chang Mao is sure to make Li Fangyuan pay a heavy price!
Chang Sheng nodded, clasped his fists and left immediately: "Soldiers are expensive, and the last general will not delay, so let's go."

"Deep behind enemy lines, be sure to take care."

Chang Sheng paused, turned his head to look at Chang Mao and his son Chang Qi, grinned and said, "Qi'er follows the eldest brother, so I have nothing to fear."

The heirs of the old Chang's family are not prosperous, Chang Mao has no children, and Chang has two sons, the first is Qi, and the second is the ancestor. Chang Qi knows in his heart that as long as he can take down the North Korean envoy Liaozhou, then he will be counted as himself. If he died on the battlefield, Chang Qi would inevitably be adopted by Chang Mao.

Then it's not that important.

For the family, for future generations.

Looking at Chang Sheng's leaving back, Chang Mao withdrew his gaze, patted Chang Qi on the shoulder and said in relief.

"Don't worry. Although your father has been staying in his hometown all these years, he has been studying the art of war. He also went to war in his early years. This time he is only harassing rather than attacking fortifications. There won't be any big problems."

Chang Qi nodded silently. Although what he said was true, there was no reason why the Son of Man should not be worried.

"Bringing you to the battlefield this time is to let you go through the training of the war. You are a smart boy, and even the grand master boasted about you. Our Chang family is an army family, and we have always fought with swords and guns." It's rare to deal with Ax and Yue without you, Qi'er, the future of our family depends on you."

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will definitely study hard and not disappoint my uncle and father."

Chang Mao nodded and stopped talking, looking at the sand table in the tent and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Li Fangyuan also learned about the abnormal things of the Ming army.

"A large number of cavalry left the camp?"

Li Fangyuan frowned as he strode towards the sand table in the tent.

"What is the Ming army going to do?"

Li Fangyuan was quite confident about the Wubao formation he set up. Although the Ming army had twice the number of his own, Li Fangyuan was not afraid at all, and even more confidently issued a military order with Li Chenggui to stick to it for more than half a year.

Li Chengzuo frowned and looked at it for a while, and then tentatively said: "Did the Ming army do this to bypass our defense line and attack our rear supplies, just like, just like what the Mongols did back then."

This sentence instantly made Li Fangyuan narrow his eyes.

The Wubao formation echoes his own Chinese army camp at a distance. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this kind of formation is a virtue like the hedgehog formation, and it is not easy to move lightly.

I can't chew it down, so I'll go around the head office.

"Majesty, if the Ming army is allowed to burn, kill, loot, and attack logistics behind me, the fearful army will be moved."

Li Chengzuo added a sentence, and the rest of the generals in the tent also echoed: "Yes, Majesty, the Ming army cannot be allowed to learn from the Mongols, not to mention that the grain and grass in our army are only enough for one month. have to withdraw.

"How about letting the last general lead the cavalry to bite the Ming army?"

"No!" Li Fangyuan directly waved his hand to reject this seemingly reasonable proposal. He said: "If our army loses the cavalry, it will completely lose the mobility of the battlefield here, and the Chinese army will also lose the distance between it and the various fortresses." Once the Ming army divides the battlefield, like Marshal Zhang Hongfan of the Mongolian Capital, and encircled Wubao and our Chinese army separately, at that time, it is difficult to escape the end of the annihilation of the entire army."

"Then, what to do?"

Right now, the Ming army is numerous and our own is few, so we don't have an advantage in terms of military strength, and rashly dividing troops is even more self-destructive. It is absolutely impossible for Li Fangyuan to throw the only [-] cavalry in his hand to the rear.

"Report the urgency to the father, and ask for reinforcements to be sent quickly. In addition, we must spread the word to the people in all counties and counties, and do our best to protect our army's logistics supplies."

Assigning the task of protecting logistics supplies to Minzhuang in the prefectures and counties in the rear, it can be seen that Li Fangyuan has no good solution at this moment.

Li Fangyuan's motionlessness made Chang Mao couldn't help but praise.

"The Majesty Jing'an opposite us is really a character, he can hold his breath very well."

All the generals laughed.

"If he wants to confront, then confront and see who can hold his breath."

Chang Mao put down the binoculars and slapped heavily on the guardrail of the watchtower.

"I'm handsome depending on how long he can sit!"
