Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 626 The decisive battle is imminent
Therefore, seizing the opportunity to be the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front battlefield, Zhang Dingbian wanted to recommend himself and ask the emperor to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Zhang Wuji understood the general's mood and said: "I know Master Zhang's abilities, but the biggest purpose of this battle is not to annihilate the enemy but to lure the enemy. We are going to use the eyes of the general Zhang Shicheng and King Ruyang Attract them here, capture Guanzhong for General Li and Marshal Guo, and win the opportunity to march into the Central Plains. After that, our two armies cut off the retreat of the Yuan army, and then pursue the victory and attack Huanglong. Therefore, this time I must personally march and assume a decisive battle with them. They Only then can we really hold them back.”

As a veteran on the battlefield, Zhang Dingbian didn't understand Zhang Wuji's strategic plan.

If this plan succeeds, then the entire Yuan army on the southern front will be made dumplings by Zhang Wuji.

If the Yuan army does not save them, then the West Route Army and the Central Route Army led by Li Siqi and Liu Futong will turn the entire Central Plains upside down.

But if Prince Ruyang and his son divide their forces to go to the rescue, the defense line along the Huaihe River will collapse instantly, and the East Route Army led by Zhang Wuji can use the canal to go north and meet up with the Middle Route Army in Xuzhou and other places.

Even if the main force of the Yuan army in the Central Plains cannot be completely eaten, most of them can be eliminated.

It's just that Zhang Dingbian really didn't want to miss this good opportunity to make a contribution.He is very confident in his commanding ability and bravery.If he loses the opportunity to perform in this decisive battle, he will not have any chance to perform in the future petty fights.

Seeing Zhang Dingbian's "pitiful" look, Zhang Wuji said: "What's more, I don't intend to let Mr. Zhang sit in the rear. Although this time the East Route Army is nominally led by my imperial commander, in fact it is still commanded by Mr. Zhang. I'm just attracting their attention."

When he heard that he had the opportunity to fight, Zhang Dingbian said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will certainly live up to His Majesty's trust."

Zhang Wuji said at this time: "Okay, everything will go according to our original plan. Now everyone goes to prepare separately. We will start our troops immediately in three days."

"Yes!" After everyone agreed in unison, they saluted Zhang Wuji in order of rank and retreated.

A few days later, the mighty and majestic armies set off.

First, Liu Futong, who was over fifty years old, put on his battle armor again. He was as majestic as Guo Jing in his later years. He rode his horse through the Chinese army and ignited the fighting spirit of the whole army with just a few words.

After Zhang Wuji tied Liu Futong's cloak with his own hands, Liu Futong led an army of 20 people one after another out of Xiangyang, Nanjun and other cities, heading straight to the north of the Yangtze River.

As for Zhang Wuji, after sending Liu Futong away, Zhang Wuji personally led thousands of warships and more than [-] tigers and wolves toward the Jianghuai River.

Zhang Wuji was riding a magnificent dragon boat captured from the little emperor Ming Sheng when he destroyed Ming Xia.

Throughout the Yangtze River, as far as the eye can see, there are all large warships with high sails.

And every battleship was filled with tall and majestic Ming soldiers.The leader was Zhang Wuji's dragon boat with the emperor's flag flying high.

Looking at the mighty fleet approaching on the river.Jinling City immediately issued a warning.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others went to the top of the city in person and looked at the approaching fleet.Looking at the artillery mounted on several large ships, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shake his hands.

Because now he was not sure at all, whether Zhang Wuji came with such a large force to destroy him, or to attack King Ruyang and Zhang Shicheng in the north.

But although Zhang Wuji's intentions were uncertain, the defense in Jinling City had been fully mobilized.

Jinling City has high walls and thick walls, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang had already transferred all the troops with Mingjiao background, including Chang Yuchun, in advance.There is no possibility that someone will take the opportunity to open the city.

But despite this, facing such an oppressive fleet, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt a little scared in his heart.

Zhang Shicheng, that idiot, asked him to rise up against the Ming Dynasty together.Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not execute it immediately, he did not refuse Zhang Shicheng.Just like when dealing with Zhang Wuji, the word 'drag' was used.

He was very afraid. Zhang Wuji caught evidence of his affair with Zhang Shicheng and was the first to kill him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did think too much this time. It was not until Zhang Wuji's huge fleet sailed past Jinling City that Zhu Yuanzhang was completely relieved.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the diorama in his hand, and then leaned against the city wall alone, breathing heavily.

Li Shanchang stepped forward and said, "Sir, are you okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath and said: "It's okay, but the pressure of Xiao Ming Wang is really suffocating. We can't be enemies of Ming Wang yet. Let's wait and see what happens."

Tang He also came to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, knelt down on one knee and said: "Brother, I think we should rebel. If Zhang Shicheng and Yuan Ting can't defeat Xiao Ming Wang, then we must be alone."

Li Wenzhong also advised at this time: "Yes, come on, now is a good opportunity. Looking at King Ming's posture, it seems that everyone is out. This is a great opportunity for us to recapture Hongdu City and take advantage of the situation to attack Wuchang. If this battle is successful, If so, then the retreat of King Ming's fleet will be cut off by us. They have no food and salary supplements and are trapped on the river. I believe it won't take long before they collapse without a fight. Besides, the price Yuan Ting gave us is also good."

Feng Sheng also echoed: "Yes, brother, now we still have 30 water troops and horses, and the food and grass can last for half a year. It is a good time to unite with the Yuan Dynasty to eliminate the Ming Dynasty's small court in the Central Plains. Brother's success today is also due to We brothers worked hard to get it, so why should Zhang Wuji's son be snatched away by everyone with just one word! We brothers who grew up together from our hometown in Huaixi all rely on the eldest brother to be his wife in the future. "

Liao Yongzhong also said: "What you brothers said is not bad. Big brother, you must continue to be disturbed by him. Xu Da and Chang Yuchun have friendship with King Xiao Ming. That is their own business. We brothers did not owe King Ming back then. What, when all our brothers gathered under the command of the eldest brother to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, I don’t know which girl’s arms that boy was in! Now that Marshal Guo and his son have passed away, the eldest brother is their successor. The eldest brother cannot defeat the brothers for their hard work. The country is given away to others! Besides, the price given to us by Yuan Ting is good. The eldest brother is made the Prime Minister of Jiangnan Province, the King of Wu, and the leader of Jiangnan Kingdom. You can make the country yourself. This is nothing compared to what that boy Zhang Wuji gave us. It's much more cost-effective to come to the Marquis."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone at this time and asked: "Does everyone agree to fight?"

The generals looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Liao Yongzhong clenched his fists at this time and said: "Besides, this is not what we want to oppose, it is Zhang Wuji who forced us! Originally, when we were in Butterfly Valley, everyone had already discussed it, respecting him as the co-owner and allowing everyone to have their own opinions. He relies on his ability to 'split the soil and seal the territory', but as his power becomes stronger, he will 'cut down the vassal' for everyone. This kid should rebel against him!"
