Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 604 Mysterious Weapon
In order to attack the Ming army camp in Chunshuwan, Zhang Xianzhong sent a total of 20 troops from the four armies to attack from the west, east and north.

In fact, you don't need to attack fiercely, you can easily break into the camp of the Ming army.

Because Zhu Yousong was afraid that they would not come, he had set up camp here for a month.Camping in low-lying places and giving up the surrounding high ground to the enemy is undoubtedly giving the handle of the knife to others.

Only rookies who don't know how to fight can do this. Zhu Yousong will go to the army to conquer himself at every turn. He has experienced many battles and will never make such a low-level mistake.

Obviously, he sold a loophole to his opponent, but the loophole has been sold for a long time, it sold for a month, and Zhu Yousong intends to keep selling it like this, which means that if you Zhang Xianzhong does not come, I will not be fooled. Closing the stall, on the surface, looks like a silly wife waiting to pinch a man.

In fact, Zhu Yousong has the mentality of a hunter, like a wolf staring at a sheep, and he has no way to go up to catch the sheep, so he has to wait for the sheep to come down and become his prey, but this is undoubtedly It takes time and patience.

Zhu Yousong has this patience now, but this is definitely not waiting blindly. He is sure, and his confidence comes from Li Zicheng. He knows that Li Zicheng is definitely more anxious than him now.

This month, Zhu Yousong, on the surface, hugged her beautifully, traveled around mountains and rivers, ate, drank and had fun.In fact, he had already prepared for the Great Western Army, and he would not be so stupid as to wait to be beaten. He mainly made two preparations.

One is to punish the young general Zhang Huan to go to Jiming Mountain to guard the grain. This is to prevent the Daxi Army from attacking his grain depot.There is a saying that before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. With 10,000+ people, food and grass are a big deal, and there must be no problems.

Zhang Nai Shuangxi's two generals are in charge of transporting and watching the food. Now Zhu Yousong uses this method to send the sharpshooter Zhang Huan to the mountain to assist the second general in guarding the food. Now there are [-] troops and three generals guarding the food on the mountain. , Zhu Yousong is more at ease about the grain and grass.

In the second aspect of preparations, Zhu Yousong sent people to bring in a batch of secret weapons and quietly arranged them in the camp, but deliberately let the soldiers neglect the defense of the camp, giving people a feeling of laziness, loose defense, and negligence. The feeling of training.

The purpose of Zhu Yousong's doing this is obvious. After digging the trap, he just waited for the Daxi Army to jump.

As a result, the Daxi Army lived up to expectations, and 20 troops and horses came all at once.

The reason why Zhang Xianzhong knew that this was obviously a scam, and he still wanted to do it, was because he completely hoped that Li Zicheng's [-] troops could loot the Ming army's grain and grass depot. , the Ming army will inevitably have a fluctuating morale, so in this battle, he believes that the Ming army will definitely lose.

Under Zhang Xianzhong's planning, the 20 troops suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Ming army's camp from three sides.

Attacking from a high place to a low place was smooth, and the Ming camp deliberately neglected defense, so the 20 troops broke into the Ming camp without much effort.

Those who were killed in the Ming army fled in all directions, quite embarrassed. The former general Wang Dingguo, the central general Wang Shangli, the left general Ma Yuanli, the right general Zhang Hualong, and four generals commanded their troops. military.

This one was caught off guard and played beautifully.The four generals were full of ambition, and each waved their weapons and led their troops to rush and kill. They planned to find Zhu Yousong's camp, and they even dreamed of destroying Zhu Yousong's two ace divisions.

At this time, on the high slope five or six miles behind the camp of the Ming army, that is, on a high slope to the east of the camp, Zhu Yousong and his ministers could clearly see the situation in the camp.

In fact, as soon as the Daxi Army left Kuizhou City, it was discovered by the spies of the Ming Army and reported to Zhu Yousong.Daming's intelligence system is now very powerful. In addition to the full-time intelligence personnel in the army, there are also members of Jinyiwei and Dongchang who are also collecting information for Zhu Yousong.

This is the characteristic of Zhu Yousong's personal conquest. No matter where he goes, there is the shadow of the factory fan.The two major secret service organizations selected elites to escort Qin Wang. Their leaders are Li Quan, the same prefect of Jinyiwei and the prisoner of Qianhu in Dongchang, and Li Guofu, the eunuch who supervised the ceremonies and supervised the imperial horse. One of them is Jinyiwei. One is the second in command of Dongchang, and now he directly obeys Zhu Yousong.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang are now not only monitoring the officials and generals, collecting intelligence, but sometimes directly participating in the war.

It is the first case in the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty that the power of the factory fan penetrated into the army and directly participated in the war. It is also the largest scope of authority in the 290-year history of the Daming factory fan. This is Zhu Yousong's first feature.

Therefore, as soon as the Great Western Army came out of Kuizhou City, Zhu Yousong got the report and immediately moved to the small high slope a few miles behind the camp. , and one hundred thousand troops.That is to say, more than half of the troops have been withdrawn from the Ming army camp in Chunshuwan, and there are only more than 3 Ming troops staying in the camp. They are densely covered with silk banners, and there is no flaw.

The Daxi Army was fooled in this way, and they didn't know they were fooled. This is the highest state of being fooled, and of course it is also the highest state of a pit digger.

Now the camps of the Ming army on three sides are in disarray, and the Daxi army attacked from three sides, and began to chase and kill the Ming army. The Ming army scattered and fled in all directions.

Withdrawing quickly is no different from running away. In the blink of an eye, these tens of thousands of soldiers will withdraw, and what greets the Great Western Army is a secret weapon.

However, this kind of secret weapon is relative to the Daxi Army, and it is not a secret weapon for Daming's army.Because this is the loot that the Ming army plundered from the Dashun army, more precisely, it was made by the ancients who Niu Jinxing imitated.

A few months ago, the Ming army and the Dashun army set up a battlefield by the Yellow River.Because the Dashun Army was driven to the bank of the Yellow River by the Ming Army, there was no way out.Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng's military adviser, was ingenious, so he thought of such a trick to make a big move, and imitated the ancients to make these secret weapons.

The secret weapon of the Queyue Formation is very powerful. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Yu once relied on this formation and this batch of secret weapons to defeat the 2000 cavalry of the Jin army with only more than [-] infantry.

However, Niu Jinxing did not pose much threat to Zhu Yousong's Ming army with this formation.

It's not because this formation has lost its power after a thousand years. In the cold weapon era, which is also the feudal era, as long as this condition is met, this formation can still exert considerable power.

The reason why Niu Jinxing lost that battle was because Zhu Yousong sent a navy to surprise the rear of the formation.Originally, the Dashun Army was fighting with its back to the wall, but now it was attacked by the enemy, and it collapsed in an instant.

As one of the trophies of that battle, Zhu Yousong robbed 300 chariots, but he was not willing to destroy them, and kept them. Today, Zhu Yousong took them to the battlefield to deal with these Western troops.

These large wooden shelves with strange shapes are definitely secret weapons for the Great Western Army.When they were chasing and annihilating the Ming army, the Ming army fled in all directions and retreated, revealing a row of such things. The generals of the Daxi army who had never seen this kind of weapon were taken aback. What the hell is this?
