Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 298 Soldiers approaching the city!

It was promised to all Shaanxi people to attack Chang'an when the first season of rice is ripe, and it seems that it should be mentioned on the agenda.

It just so happened that during this period of uninterrupted military training, the [-] elite soldiers in Yangxian County were waiting for Zhu Changyuan's order.

For the soldiers of other families, fighting is a distressing and sad thing, but for Zhu Changyuan's deployment and soldiers, fighting is something that can make them excited.

Last time in Huazhou City, [-] elite soldiers were caught by Li Zicheng's surprise and bombarded them with cannons. They almost bombarded the city, and then fled to Huashan in embarrassment under the leadership of Kong He. Obtained an overwhelming advantage and wiped out strands of incoming enemy troops.

However, this is not enough!

Who are they?

They are two million enemies.

Not to mention those weak soldiers under Li Zicheng, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are reborn, any one of them can match, so how can they be reconciled to losing in Li Zicheng's hands?

Everyone has pride, not to mention that this army once slaughtered Sun Xiaofeng's ten thousand troops, and also dispersed Zhang Xianzhong's one hundred thousand troops, and even pursued them thousands of miles away. , Chasing all the way for three thousand miles, only two of Lao Zhang were beaten and fled back to Shuzhong in a hurry.

How can they afford to lose?
Wherever you fall, you have to get up from where you fell. When you were scattered and fled by Li Zicheng in Huazhou City, you have to go to Huazhou City and fight back, or you can directly take down Chang'an City, and then Li Zicheng's head. Only then can they solve their only hatred.

This kind of hatred is not the hatred of hatred, but the hatred of arrogance unique to soldiers.

The most important thing is that if you lose face in front of your boss, you will naturally have to get it back. You can't let the boss think that we are not good enough, right?
"Are you all ready?" He came to Yang County and asked Kong He directly.

Compared with the soldiers under his command, Kong He, as the chief general, regarded the last battle in Huazhou City as the greatest shame and stain in his life, and he had secretly vowed in his heart that he would tear Li Zicheng to pieces.

"Ready!" Kong He respectfully gave a standard military salute to Zhu Changyuan, then raised his head and chest, his eyes gleaming fiercely, and said: "Thirty thousand elite soldiers are waiting for the war every night, and there is not a single bit of military equipment missing. , but please give an order from the general, I will die generously and go straight to Chang'an!"

Kong He wanted to fly to Chang'an as soon as possible even more than Zhu Changyuan himself, to avenge his shame.

"Okay!" Zhu Changyuan looked at Kong He, smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that you are eager to take revenge!"

"Yes!" Kong He bowed forward and said, "The general cannot hide it, and there is no need to hide it."

"En!" Zhu Changyuan nodded slightly, his face turned cold, and said, "Well, I will give you two things to do, and Kong He will take orders!"

Kong He was overjoyed, took a step back, arched his hands forward, lowered his head and said loudly: "The last general will take orders!"

"First, there are currently [-] troops left in Hanzhong Mansion, and no one is in charge. You are responsible for settling these tens of millions of people, and then responsible for collecting the grain handed in by the entire Hanzhong people this year and storing it in the warehouse."

Kong He raised his head, hoping to hear Zhu Changyuan's order to lead his troops to the expedition, but he did not expect to receive such an order, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "General..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Changyuan with a wave of his hand: "This matter is very important. It is related to whether our important task of recruiting Shaanxi can be realized. You must be foolproof!"

"Then, the second thing: I am going to Chang'an, and I will only bring [-] days of food and grass. You have to collect all the taxes and grains within [-] days and send them to the army. With your [-] troops, Two hundred iron cavalry, and the shafts and sculls for transfer, is that enough?"

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are moved. This time Zhu Changyuan did the opposite. He first asked each soldier to bring enough food for 20 days, and then asked Kong He to resupply.

"Subordinate, subordinate, subordinate order!"

Kong He originally wanted to make a few defenses, but when he thought of the sky-high military regulations in the Sun Moon Island Army, he finally gave up his right to defend himself.

Soldiers, it is their duty to obey orders!
Always obey orders, never resist!
This is the military order of Sun Moon Island!
In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Changyuan intended to be the leader of Kong He, but later he saw that he was so emotional, so he gave up the idea of ​​appointing him as a general.

Perhaps there is nothing wrong with appointing Kong He as a general. With modern technology and materials, it is more than enough to defeat Li Zicheng, but in the long run, this will encourage his habit of emotional combat.As a general, if you don't have enough calm and objective mind when leading the army, then you are not a good general.

Sometimes, Zhu Changyuan doesn't mind ringing the alarm bell to remind them.

For example, this time, after Zhu Changyuan issued the order, he sighed and said: "This time, I will be very disappointed in you. As a senior general and the helm of our Sun Moon Island's future military, how can you Can you bring the emotions left over from the last battle to this battle?"

When Zhu Changyuan mentioned it a little bit, Kong He was enlightened!

Smart people often don't need to keep preaching. Zhu Changyuan would rather not use the kind of people who are really preaching.

And this time, Polu was right in front of him. While teaching Kong He a lesson, he also learned a lot as an observer.

"If you still disappoint me like this next time, you can go back to Sun Moon Island!"

Zhu Changyuan dropped a sentence, then looked at Polu, and said loudly: "Polu accepts the order!"

"The commander will take orders!"

Polu suddenly jumped out, cupped his hands towards Zhu Changyuan, and accepted the order!
"Lead the army, set off, Chang'an."

In this way, Zhu Changyuan and Polu led 3 people and 20 days of food, grass and military equipment, and set off for Chang'an. This time, the goal of going to Chang'an was very clear: Li Zicheng!

As for the 7 iron cavalry, war horses, and [-] carriages, all of them were left to Kong He, so that he could collect taxes and food in Hanzhong, and transport military supplies to the front line. People come to fight against each other.

Hanzhong is actually very close to Chang'an. Geographically speaking, the straight-line distance is less than [-] miles. If it is placed on flat ground, it can be reached by marching in three days.

It's a pity that there is a mountain between Hanzhong and Chang'an. Although this mountain is not as famous as Shennong Mountain and is regarded as a forbidden area for life, it should not be underestimated.

Because the name of this mountain is well-known to everyone, it is called: Qinling!
160 miles east from Yangxian County in Hanzhong, there is a valley that crosses the Qinling Mountains and leads directly to the south of Chang'an, with a total length of about [-] miles.

Meridian Valley.

Zhu Changyuan set out from Ziwu Valley with an army of [-] in person, thinking that the marching speed was very fast, but after walking in the valley for a few days, he realized that he was wrong.

In the past, the marching speed was very fast. That was because there were [-] horses exchanged from the system. This time, with an army of [-], they could only walk forty miles a day.

Half a month had passed by the time they reached the Ziwu Valley and were about to exit.

The food and grass brought by the army were almost eaten up.

However, for Zhu Changyuan, who has a super cheat, food for 3 people is at least not a problem. When he is free, he returns to the modern society and gets a cart, which is enough for these people to eat for 20 days.

Li Zicheng knew that Zhu Changyuan would come to attack, so he didn't send troops to guard Taniguchi.

Because, he knew very well that Zhu Changyuan's two hundred cavalry's combat power, unless they relied on the cannons of the fortified city, otherwise, like Zhang Xianzhong's [-] troops, it was nothing more than sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Moreover, his current army still has another job to do, harvesting wheat. Although there are not many winter wheat planted by this guy, they are all mature and can be harvested.

It's just that he never expected that when Zhu Changyuan came out of Hanzhong this time, he didn't come with cavalry as he imagined, and his cavalry troops were still transporting food later.

However, it’s not far away. According to Zhu Changyuan’s estimation, in just one or two days, the follow-up troops transporting military supplies and food can arrive, so even if Li Zicheng has troops stationed in Taniguchi, he is not afraid. At worst, he can wait for the cavalry to arrive. .

The army left Ziwu Valley, rested for a day, and then went straight to Chang'an City, a hundred miles away.

After arriving in Chang'an City, he didn't lead his army to attack the city immediately, and Zhu Changyuan wouldn't be so stupid to let his men directly face the two hundred artillery pieces at the top of the opposing city with their bodies.

He didn't know how far the artillery could shoot, so he stationed his troops on the flat ground three miles away from the city wall of the south gate of Chang'an City.

No matter how powerful your Li Zicheng's cannon is, it's impossible to blast it to a distance of 500 meters.

Naturally, Zhu Changyuan stationed his army outside the south gate of Chang'an City, and Li Zicheng had no plans to lead an army to make a surprise attack, at least not now. He hadn't figured out the reality of Zhu Changyuan's army, and he didn't know how powerful it was. He needed a technically difficult attack. Exploratory attack.

"I'll go!" Liu Zongmin has a bad temper. He couldn't bear the atmosphere of the overwhelming army at first, and jumped up from his seat angrily, and said, "Last time, I was able to beat Zhu Changyuan and run around the mountains and plains. This time I can do it too."

"Zong Min can't!"

Liu Zongmin is Li Zicheng's favorite general, and it is impossible for Li Zicheng to send him to visit the camp.

"In the last battle of Huazhou City, we relied on the power of cannons. It was all luck. You haven't fought this guy before. I don't know. In the field, his cavalry is almost invulnerable, and even the longbow is not good. use!"

At the beginning of the year, Kong He led troops here, and they went around in circles under the city of Chang'an, fighting with Li Zicheng's thousands of people more than once with 200 people. In which case, most of the people who were not Li Zicheng's own were beheaded, and no one was injured?
Therefore, Li Zicheng was afraid of Zhu Changyuan's cavalry in his bones.

Also, the story of Zhu Changyuan's two hundred cavalrymen slaughtering Sun Xiaofeng and breaking Zhang Xianzhong had already spread far and wide, so how could it be a waste of fame?
