Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 197 Difficulty

After Zhu Qiyu asked everyone, he looked at everyone.

Lin Cunde was also worried about this problem. He had to guard against this matter. After all, if Wala wanted to make a surprise attack, he could have made a false promise with the Ming Dynasty's envoy and paralyzed the Ming Dynasty.

So Lin Cunde said: "When the envoy goes, we also need to be prepared in advance. Unless we see the Supreme Emperor coming back, we can't trust him easily!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded after hearing this.

"If we can win this battle, it will be extremely beneficial to our Ming Dynasty. It is even said that the north of Ming Dynasty will be free from border dangers for twenty years!" Wei Guogong stood in front of the map, stared at it, and said calmly.

Other generals naturally knew that if they could defeat Wala again, Wala would no longer have an absolute advantage on the border.

"Then let's discuss first, how to prepare for this battle, and come up with a plan today!" Zhu Qiyu said, looking at the generals, and summoned them here today, just to come up with a preliminary plan.

Shi Heng said: "The last general is willing to lead 30,000 elite cavalry to Liaodong Town to assist in the defense! If there are no 30,000 elite cavalry, 50,000 infantry can also be used. As long as the Qiantun Guards, Yizhou Guards, and Kaiyuan are guarded Acropolis, then Liaodong Town can keep fighting with Wala!"

"Don't you care about the other nine cities?" Lin Cunde looked at Shi Heng and asked in surprise.

There are three big cities in Liaodong and nine small acropolises. Shi Heng is talking about the three big cities and the other nine small acropolis, each with a garrison station and about 5,000 Ming soldiers!

"If we defend them all, we will definitely not be able to hold them. It is better to concentrate heavy troops and defend these three great cities. As long as the three great cities are in the hands of my Ming garrison, then it is impossible for Wala to win this battle!" Shi Heng He said confidently to Lin Cunde and the others.

"If the defenders of the city and the defenders who led them are besieged by Wala and the battle is difficult, and the Supreme Emperor persuades them to surrender, I wonder if Wu Qinghou can suppress them?" Lin Cunde continued to look at Shi Heng and asked.

"This!" Shi Heng was also stunned. If this was the case, Shi Heng would have no confidence in his heart.

After all, the 30,000 elite cavalry or 50,000 infantry troops he led were not trained by him, but were transferred from the guard station below. How could Shi Heng know what the soldiers in the guard station below considered? ’

It is even said that it is possible for the guards below to kill themselves in the middle of the night for the sake of their own glory and wealth and for their own survival.

When Lin Cunde saw that Shi Heng had stopped talking, he said: "In this battle, defense is not the answer. The only way is to fight head-on and completely defeat the Oara army, whether it is to defeat the Oara army that wants to attack Shanhaiguan, or to defeat the Oara army that wants to attack Shanhaiguan." Regardless of defeating the Oara army attacking Liaodong Town, as long as one of them is defeated, the other one will definitely retreat.

However, we cannot delay the decision for too long. We need to find a decisive battle with the Wala army. If the Wala army in Shanhaiguan is contained and kept wandering outside without attacking, then we need to actively look for fighter opportunities! After defeating the Oara army in Shanhaiguan, the defenders of Liaodong Town will definitely not surrender easily after learning the news! "

After hearing this, the other generals nodded, as long as one of them was defeated.

"Difficult!" Guo Sheng stood up at this moment, came to the front of the map, and said: "Shanhaiguan is the purpose of diversion, so naturally it will not take the initiative to attack. Moreover, as Yu Shangshu just said, the people who are performing diversionary tasks in Shanhaiguan this time are probably not also The first direct troops, therefore, they will definitely not fight tooth and nail, so Liaodong Town is the main battlefield!"

"But it is very dangerous for the army to march to Liaodong Town, and it requires a lot of food and grass, and a large number of civilians need to be recruited!" Lin Cunde also said worriedly.

"Eh!" Wei Guogong also sighed. It was not a wise choice to send heavy troops to Liaodong. But if he didn't go, with the help of the Supreme Emperor, Liaodong Town would be easily captured. Once Liaodong Town was captured and the Supreme Emperor would be in charge, then the Ming Dynasty would be in danger.

"What should we do?" Shi Heng was also worried. He originally wanted to lead the army to Liaodong Town, but now it seems that this is not possible.

"What I mean is to set up an ambush for the Oara army that is about to attack Shanhaiguan. We even said that we would dispatch 30,000 fine cavalry and the Shanhaiguan garrison to find an opportunity to completely defeat the Oara army. As long as we can kill tens of thousands of Oara troops, It is estimated that the Oara army that attacked Shanhaiguan will retreat, and if they attack Liaodong first, they may not dare to use all their strength!" Lin Cunde looked at the map and said his thoughts.

"Our crossbows are powerful, but after Wala suffered a loss once, they will not suffer a second time. Even if the two armies are fighting, they will definitely charge forward with heavy armor. They even said that they would avoid our cavalry and specialize in Infantry behind!" Wei Guogong said his opinion.

"As long as they dare to come to Shanhaiguan, I will have a way to keep them. I need the Shenji Battalion and the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry!" Lin Cunde stood in front of the map and said coldly.

"What method?" Wei Guogong looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and asked.

"It can't be said, and it can't be explained clearly. If I were asked to guard Shanhaiguan, I would need 20,000 elite cavalry, 30,000 infantry, and 5,000 divine machine battalions! As long as they dare to come, I will have a way to keep them. And, if With sufficient cavalry, we may still be able to encircle them.

This requires everyone's cooperation. Send troops from Jizhou Town, use cavalry, go around behind Shanhaiguan, bring enough crossbows, and cooperate with our army to cover up the kill! Lin Cunde said while pointing at the map.

"Cunde, this won't work. You need to come up with a plan! No one can believe it!" Wei Guogong looked at Lin Cunde and said.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde hesitated for a while, not knowing whether he should say it or not. "I believe it. No need to elaborate. When the time comes, I will give you the Shenji Battalion and fine cavalry. The Ministry of Industry will cooperate with you!" Zhu Qiyu said first, expressing his trust in Lin Cunde.

After hearing this, the generals looked at Zhu Qiyu in surprise.

Wei Guogong also reacted and continued to ask: "How long will it take?"

"It can take as long as half a month, or as short as three days, it depends on when Wala's army attacks the city! He even said that I will show weakness to the enemy to attract the enemy to attack the city. As long as the enemy attacks the city, I will have a way!" Lin Cunde looked at it! said Wei Guogong.

"There is enough time. Liaodong Town can be defended for half a month. No problem. The Ministry of War can leave and send messengers to inform them and let them be prepared!" Yu Qian stroked his beard and said to Lin Cunde.

"Can't notify!" Lin Cunde immediately shook his head and said.

"Can't notify?" Everyone else looked at Lin Cunde. If he didn't notify, what would happen if Liaodong Town fell?

"Yes, we can't notify. I suspect there are spies from Wala in the court. Once we notify, Wala will know immediately. We are prepared, but they dare not come over. Your Majesty, and everyone, this battle is risky, There is also a chance,

Once they win, Wala will not want to conquer the border for twenty years, unless they want to completely subjugate the country. If they lose, the town of Liaodong will be lost. But if Wala attacks early, then we can also send troops to counterattack and directly regain Liaodong. However, Nanjing is We need to be on guard, I'm worried that the Supreme Emperor will come ashore from Nanjing! "Lin Cunde said his reasons.

"If the Supreme Emperor disembarks in Nanjing, I will risk my life to escort the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing. If not, I will raise my head to see you. Tomorrow, I will ask all the family members in Nanjing to return to Beijing!" Wei Guogong shouted angrily at this moment, with the last words, Lin Cunde was very surprised. If so, then Nanjing can trust Wei Guogong.

"Wei Guogong, Nanjing is handed over to you!" Zhu Qiyu also expressed his stance at this moment.

"Yes! In the battle of Tumubao, our army suffered heavy losses and all senior generals were killed. If the Supreme Emperor is still stubborn and wants to cause civil strife in my Ming Dynasty, I will be the first to refuse. My Ming Dynasty cannot be in chaos. If there is further chaos, we must The country cannot be destroyed!" Wei Guogong said emotionally. In the battle of Tumubao, two princes died, which was difficult for Wei Guogong to accept.

"Well, no matter what, Nanjing is defended, then we can slowly take back Liaodong Town, but we don't dare to defend the city yet. He can't give up the advantage of the cavalry and fight us on foot!" Lin Cunde nodded and faced us. everyone said.

"I agree. This battle may seem dangerous, but the opportunity is huge and it's worth the gamble. Moreover, even if we lose, it won't be a big deal! There are five military camps guarding Shanhaiguan, and the Ora cavalry can't kill them. Then the world will not be in chaos. , if the world is not in chaos, we can fight back!" Zhang Min gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Cunde, Shanhaiguan, can you hold it? I won't tell you whether you can defeat Wala. I first want to ask you, can you hold it?" Xu Xianyong was also staring at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Yes, if you can't hold on, I'll raise my head to see you!" Lin Cunde nodded firmly and said.

I know best the combat effectiveness of the five military camps in my hands. There is no problem at all in defending the city. He even said that as long as he had enough crossbows, he would dare to fight with Wala's cavalry head-on. Wala is in trouble.

"If so, I agree to let Cunde guard Shanhaiguan and select two outstanding generals to assist Cunde. After all, Cunde is still young and has never been on the battlefield. With the help of two veterans, there will be no problem!" Wei Guogong was also facing at this moment. Lin Cunde said.

"I am willing to go!" Shi Heng immediately stood up and said with cupped hands.

"I am also willing to go!" Guo Sheng also stood up.

Then Gu Jing, Zhao Rong, and Wang Ying all stood up and said to Lin Cunde.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said to them: "Let's not decide this matter yet. Let's discuss the possible changes in Wala first. We must consider all aspects, otherwise, once a crisis occurs, our army will be in trouble!"

"Yes, don't be anxious, let's discuss it first!" Wei Guogong also nodded and said.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, Chen Xun had been waiting outside. He wanted to ask to see Zhu Qiyu. Accompanying Chen Xun was Wang Zhi.

Chen Xun felt a crisis, Zhu Qiyu might ask him to leave the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Zhi was also in this kind of crisis, because Zhu Qiyu had crossed out a lot of officials from the list of officials recently selected by the Ministry of Personnel.

It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with him as the official minister.

Therefore, Wang Zhi also wanted to come to Zhu Qiyu to report on the work, but he should not let Zhu Qiyu hold a grudge.

He didn't know that he had already been on Zhu Qiyu's blacklist.
