Chapter 301 Mentality

Tang Yin often went in and out of the state government recently, and he might have to hide his identity from outsiders, but for Kuang Yangming, the magistrate of the state, after a little inquiring, he knew that Mr. Lu was the famous Tang Bohu.

Kuang Yangming doesn't need to apologize to Zhu Hao, but he still needs to compliment Tang Yin. After all, although Tang Yin is not an official, he is no different from the top artists of later generations.

After a brief salute, they then talked about the main topic, when to send troops, and all kinds of accidents that may occur on the battlefield are all under discussion.

Tang Yindao: "This night attack is of great importance and there is no room for loss, so there are not many people who know about it, only a few people present at the moment. Even the people who went to carry out the mission in the palace, they still don't know what they are going to do."

Kuang Yangming said with a smile: "It seems that Xing Wangfu is fully prepared to deal with the bandits."

When it comes to King Xing's Mansion, it is time for the Chief of the Palace to speak. Yuan Zonggao said: "Can the state government transfer some more troops? As far as I know, if the people in the gentry villages outside the city can't reinforce in time tonight, the official The number of troops is far less than that of bandits."

This involves a problem.

If you want to suppress the bandits, of course you must ensure that the troops are suppressed.

Now that a whole raid plan has been drawn up, but it cannot be distributed to the grassroots. If the news leaks out and the raid fails to achieve the desired effect, and your number of soldiers and horses is not even as good as that of bandits, how can you suppress these bandits?
Are you sure that the weapons and equipment of officers and soldiers are better than those of bandits?

They all use knives to slash people, and it's impossible to tell who has the upper hand.

Kuang Yang called it difficult: "Now the most important duty of the state government is to guard the city and prevent the tens of thousands of people in the city from being in danger, so we can only deploy the corresponding manpower... There must be no slack in the city defense."

According to Kuang Yang's name, I have already transferred [-] people to you, are you still not satisfied?
Although these [-] people have basically not received formal military training, or the yachamen are matched with a small number of patrolling soldiers and horses, their combat power is worrying, but it is also possible to gather people together at critical times.

Yuan Zonggao couldn't help but cast a strange look at Tang Yin when he heard the words, as if to ridicule: Do you, Tang Yin, still dare to guarantee victory in this battle?

Do you regret sticking to the strategy of dispatching troops?

Luo An's attitude was extremely firm: "The plan for sending out troops this time is thorough. First, they disrupt the enemy's position, and then cause chaos. The Yiwei Division of Xingwang's Mansion is fully equipped, and we will surely be able to win the battle."

Kuang Yang said with a smile: "Luo Dianzhan, I also believe in the ability of the Royal Guards Department, so I will wait for the good news in the state government..."

The implication is that you go to fight yourself, and I will go back to the state government to hide for a while.

In case you lose the battle, don't come to me. If bandits take the opportunity to enter the city, I have time to prepare, and I may even sneak away through another city gate, so... please do your best when fighting , It’s fine when our state government doesn’t exist.

After Kuang Yangming finished speaking, he confessed a few words to several officials, left his hands to supervise the battle at the top of the city, and then walked away.

The people in Xingwang's Mansion couldn't help but look at each other.

Is this the government guarding the city?Or Xingwangfu to defend the city?
Who is in charge of this battle?
……

……

It's approaching the third watch.

The battle has not yet begun.

In the study of Prince Xing's Mansion, Zhu Youzhu was waiting for news from the front line, his face was full of worry, and he was restless.

Zhang Zuo stayed by his side all the time, and kept saying words of comfort.

"My lord, if you are tired, you should go to rest earlier. It is said that the battle will not start until after midnight, and it will take some time." Zhang Zuo looked concerned, "If there is any news, the old slave will promptly inform you."

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youzhu sighed heavily, and said, "Tell me, I advocate sending troops, is it right or wrong?"

Zhang Zuo was slightly surprised.

It's time to go to war. As a decision maker, Xing Wang, you actually started to review and reflect?
It is both late and early.

It is late because the war is about to start, and it is meaningless to stop it now.

It's too early because the war is not over yet, and it's far from the time for you to summarize and reflect.

Zhang Zuo had a scheming mind after all, and said: "My lord, actually you don't have to worry, this battle... this old slave is not nice to say, even if you lose, it will not be a big loss to the palace."

"Ok?"

Zhu Youzhao looked puzzled, "The soldiers of the royal family go to the battlefield to fight for their lives. If they lose, they will lose a lot of dead bones in the grave. How dare you say that... there is not much loss?"

Zhang Zuo hurriedly explained: "My lord, you might as well think about it. Xing Wangfu's extermination of bandits is a manifestation of serving the court and being loyal to the emperor and patriotism... As long as Anluzhou City is guarded, wouldn't the imperial court allocate military households afterwards to fill up the soldiers of the palace's ceremonial guards?" ?”

"Uh……"

Zhu Youtang understood now.

What is the loss of a few soldiers? Even if the guards of the Wangfu are all dead, the imperial court will allocate and replenish the corresponding manpower.

Xing Wangfu is currently the place where the first successor of the Ming Dynasty is located, and the court needs to avoid taboos everywhere. Can't it be said that Xingwangfu shared the king's worries and caused heavy losses to the soldiers and horses of the Yiwei Division, but left it alone?
For the lords in the court, no matter how careful they are in dealing with the matter of the Xing Wangfu, it is necessary to avoid the government and the public saying that the court is mean to Xing Wangfu and deliberately targeting Yunyun...

There are some gossips, but neither the emperor nor the ministers want to hear them.

Zhang Zuo said: "So our palace can fight this battle with peace of mind, more than [-] people are left in the palace to guard, even if the city gates are open, the walls of Xingwang's palace are high and the defenses are solid, the thieves can't easily kill them, so the prince can rest easy. "

Zhu Youzhao shook his head: "That's what I said, but can I really sit back and watch the children of the royal family die?"

Zhang Zuo sighed softly: "The prince appreciates the hard work and loyalty of the soldiers. It is understandable, but it is also because of this that everyone in the palace should serve the prince to his death and earn a future for the son. Besides, this battle has not yet started, and the outcome is unknown. The prince should not be sentimental."

"Oh I see."

Zhu Youtang finally relaxed, but there was a bit more hope for victory in his eyes.

This battle was not fought specifically for the purpose of exhausting the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards Department, but because Zhu Youzhao, as the decision maker, was not firm in his attitude towards the main battle, so Zhang Zuo expressed his condolences, indicating that the outcome is acceptable.

In fact, the Wangfu took the absolute initiative in this battle. Even if they couldn't win, at least most of the troops could return to the city safely. The guards of the Wangfu who let them go to the battle were basically cavalry and well-equipped. Outside the sentry, how many cavalry are there?
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest for a while, if there is any news, let me know as soon as possible... No matter whether you win or lose..." Suddenly, a burst of tiredness hit, Zhu Youzhao couldn't help yawning again and again, his spirit was so weak, he wanted to go back to his room to rest.

Zhang Zuo supported Zhu Youzhao to stand up, but he didn't want Zhu Youzhao to lose his footing and fell back to the chair.

Zhang Zuo asked with concern: "My lord, are you alright?"

Zhu Youzhan supported his head with his hands, and forced a smile: "After all, I'm old, my body is not as good as before, and my bones are a little weak before I know it, just go back and rest."

……

……

It was past midnight.

The battle proceeded in an orderly manner.

The first step was naturally to open the south gate of the city, and a huge convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages marched towards the Hanshui Ferry, pretending that the big households in the city were fleeing with huge sums of money.

Tang Yin hid on the east wall.

In order to show that everything in the city was normal that night, all guards patrolled the city as usual. Even the gate towers were not allowed to show their heads casually. Except for the necessary torches for lighting, there were no candles on the top of the city.

"Is there any movement in the thief camp?"

Tang Yin asked Zhu Hao beside him.

At this time, Zhu Hao was looking at the enemy camp with a telescope.

As for the telescope, it may not be effective every time on the battlefield, but this time Anluzhou City resisted the invasion of bandits, it seemed to be a tailor-made place for the telescope to function.

To put it bluntly, combat is to fight an information gap.

The distance between the defenders in the city and the enemy camp can be roughly seen through a telescope. With the advantage of information, this battle can be fought with twice the result with half the effort.

"It's dark, I can't see clearly... No news now is good news."

Zhu Hao said, "But do you remember that in the middle of the night, a group of people rushed out from the thieves' left camp? I suspect that those thieves might have rushed to the road in front of the ferry ahead of time to set up an ambush."

Tang Yindao: "There are three enemy camps, only the left camp has movement, not all the troops have been mobilized, how can we create chaos? What should we do if there is a crisis in the middle?"

Zhu Hao turned his head and leaned against the wall bricks, and sat down side by side with Tang Yin: "Didn't it be agreed? Even if there was an accident in the middle, the team transporting the explosives would detonate it, and then hurried towards the gate of the city. There is no movement, which means that our plan has not changed."

"Will it be captured directly in the middle, too late?"

At this time, Tang Yin looked forward and backward instead.

Zhu Hao said angrily: "Mr. Tang, why are you so afraid of wolves and tigers? You should be firm at this time. Let me put it this way, the gunpowder I made is extremely poor in stability. After the robbers captured it, it was not suitable. The method of transportation and storage is very easy to explode, and it is even more impossible to transport it to the city..."

This is the case with nitroglycerin, which has poor stability. It will explode at high or low temperature, or violent shaking and collision.

Tang Yin said: "Why are you so angry? Forget it, listen to you, let's wait and see what happens."

Now Zhu Hao is embarrassed to teach Tang Yin a lesson, and he always wants to save some face for the gentleman in name.

Who told Tang Yin that he had never had a chance to prove himself in this life, and now he is commanding and dispatching, coordinating the overall situation, even Wei Zheng Zhu Chen, the master of ceremonies of the palace, obeys his command, he is a little bit unsure of his mentality, I can understand.

……

……

time lapse.

When the defenders began to drowsy, there was a loud "bang" in the distance.

A "thunder" pierced the sky, not to mention the soldiers on the top of the city, even the people in the city were awakened by the "thunderbolt from the clear sky".

Tang Yin immediately stood up, and found that the sound of continuous explosions was coming from the direction near the pier in the south of the city. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the plan was being carried out in an orderly manner.

"Going out of the city?" Tang Yin asked.

"Wait!"

Holding the binoculars, Zhu Hao looked at the bandits' camp with an extremely firm attitude, as if he was the commander in chief of the former enemy at this time.

Tang Yin seemed very anxious: "When will we wait?"

Zhu Hao said: "The explosion in the south was too loud. After being awakened, the thieves and bandits could not understand the situation for a while. I'm afraid they would guess what happened. It's not so disturbing. We sent six people to deliver heavy gunpowder. At least the enemy camp If more than half of them are bombed, the thieves will be in chaos, and our army can take advantage of the situation to send troops!"
