Daming: Let you build roads, you have access to highways throughout the country

Chapter 138: The West Road Army, the one who fights soy sauce!!!

Daming Northern Expeditionary Army, this time the main opponent is the Northern Yuan general, Naha out.

When Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Taiping, Nahachu was once captured. Zhu Yuanzhang was kind enough to persuade Naha to surrender because he was a descendant of a famous courtier, but Naha was unwilling to submit.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was concerned about the Yuan Court, and in the end, he still gave some silver two and let the tiger return to the mountain!

Nahachu knows the Daming army very well, and over the years, he has been able to deal with it with ease.

Although it was impossible to realize the grand strategy of re-entering the Central Plains, in terms of defense, it has not allowed the Daming army to take advantage of anything.

Now Naha has more than 200,000 troops under his command, although on the surface, it is much less than the Daming army, but the army of the Northern Yuan is mostly cavalry.

Although at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Yuan Dynasty’s army was very tight, but as it was beaten out of the Central Plains and retreated into a difficult living environment, it returned to its original bloodiness and barbarism!

The Mongolian iron horse is still brave and good at fighting.

The night attack launched not long ago was planned by Naha.

The 2 soldiers and horses of the night attack suffered heavy losses, but many people also escaped, and what made him most overjoyed was the two Hongwu rifles brought back.

Now all the generals of the Northern Yuan have realized the threat of the Hongwu rifle, which is obviously different from the traditional fire bolt of the Daming Dynasty, this thing is not easy to explode, and the range is extremely high and the lethality is extremely strong.

Especially by the way of a salvo, it can cause huge damage to the Northern Yuan army.

At the beginning, the horses were frightened and threw off many Northern Yuan soldiers.

Now, although slowly adapted, the lethality of this firearm is still jealous.

At present, the number of such Hongwu rifles equipped by the Daming army is relatively small. But if the Northern Yuan court does not catch up with the gap between weapons and equipment as soon as possible, it will be very passive in the future.

You know, at that time, the Mongolian iron horse entered the main Central Plains, and it was by virtue of the advantage of bow and arrow range and flexible guerrilla tactics that it swallowed a large part of the territory, so they were well aware of the asymmetry in weapons and equipment and what consequences would bring.

There were only two Hongwu rifles in total, and Naha left one for himself, and the other for people to quickly send back to the imperial court.

There, there are many craftsmen who are experienced and skilled in making fire bolts. Previously, the Daming Dynasty studied several fire bolts, and the effect was not bad, and they were also imitated and manufactured by these craftsmen.

Now, Nahazu also has this idea, and wants to send this Hongwu rifle back, so that those craftsmen can study and study and create similar weapons.

In this way, the gap between the Beiyuan Yu Daming firearms can be narrowed.

Don’t worry too much, the Daming army is armed with too many rifles, which poses a deadly threat to itself.

However, this Hongwu rifle was indeed sent back to the Northern Yuan court, and the imperial court also attached great importance to it, sending a large number of craftsmen to study, and this rifle was relatively simple to disassemble, and it was quickly dismantled, and even the bullets were disassembled.

However, looking at these parts one by one, the craftsmen were confused.

The layman looks at the liveliness, the insider looks at the doorway, and they quickly understand that the craftsmanship of this rifle is really too exquisite!

With current technology, it simply can’t be done.

There are some parts, but it is easy to imitate, craftsmen put together manpower, to polish, can also be made, including barrels and other accessories with relatively high technical difficulty, can barely be made.

But this is a great test of the craftsman’s own skills, and mass production cannot be achieved at all.

To put it bluntly, the method of workmanship is similar to that of firebolts, and it is impossible to form a unified standard, but this is not the most critical.

The most important thing is the little inconspicuous bullet!

This bullet is about a finger long, which is nothing compared to the size of a rifle, but the craftsmen are very, very headache because this bullet is so delicate!

How high is this craftsmanship to create a bullet!

Even if they study the internal structure, they can’t produce it at all.

The news quickly reached Naha’s ears, but Nahachu was not surprised, after all, this rifle had just been sent back, and it was understandable that it could not be studied for a while.

This thing looks very high-tech.

Of course, even if he is in a hurry, it is useless, because it cannot help at all, and the most effective way at present is to find ways to seize the rifles in the hands of the Daming army.

However, this is only possible to capture some loot in the case of a major victory, and in the previous battle, Nahade was also mainly defensive, occasionally taking the initiative to attack, but also mainly harassing and sneak attacks, and did not achieve particularly big results.

Not to mention, what loot was captured.

The previous sneak attack was also deliberately aimed at Hongwu rifles, and it was difficult to get back two.

That’s it, and hundreds of lives were lost!

In the Daming barracks, it was hard work to exchange his life for two rifles.

In the military tent, Nahachu is discussing the military situation with many generals.

The general next to him pointed to the map and said, “The Daming army is divided into three ways.

The Middle Route Army was General Lanyu of Yongchang Marquis of Daming, responsible for the main attack.

The Eastern Route Army was coordinated by General Xu Da Lao, and eventually formed a pincer attack with the Central Route Army.

The Western Route Army is a raw face, waving the banner of His Royal Highness King Qi, but His Royal Highness King Qi does not seem to have personally visited the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the details are not yet known. ”

Naha listened to a report under his hand, and then said: “The main battlefield is still on the side of the Central Route Army, and Lan Yu must not be allowed to fight in.

In addition, the Eastern Route Army is led by Old General Xu Da, everyone must be cautious and cautious, even General Wang Baobao is not the opponent of this old man, no one should be careless.

Don’t fight Xu Da head-on, you must mainly attack and harass, and exhaust this old man! ”

The generals burst into laughter.

“Then General, what about this Western Route Army?”

Naha touched his beard, walked around a few times, and said slowly: “At present, the West Road Army seems to be playing soy sauce. We are in this area, and there are a large number of troops deployed in this rear, and Daming’s intelligence should know.

80,000 Daming troops, nothing to worry about. The forces in the west can drag them down, and thinking about it, they cannot take the initiative to attack, otherwise, it is very likely that they will be counterattacked by us. ”

The generals nodded repeatedly.

Nahade continued: “Our main task is to be in charge of the Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army.

150,000 troops remained, led by me, to deal with General Lanyu.

Another 50,000 cavalry to deal with Xu Da of the Eastern Route Army.

Remember, don’t fight head-on with Xu Da, mainly attack, resolutely do not fight a decisive battle, remember to remember!

It is determined that the Eastern Route Army will be tired of coping, as long as it can drag these 100,000 troops and General Xu Lao, it will be a great achievement!

Daming’s 400,000 army will definitely not be able to enter! ”

The generals received orders and obeyed orders.

Li Yunlong doesn’t matter, he is not stupid, after assigning the task, he knew that General Xu Da and General Lan Yu wanted to see how capable he was in leading troops, so he was specially assigned a Western Route Army with soy sauce.

The Western Route Army is not the main force of the battlefield.

Li Yunlong can play freely, of course, it is impossible to rush north all the way.

Because the Northern Yuan court had many defensive lines in the rear, 80,000 troops could not be invested at all.

If you insist on breaking through, these 80,000 troops may beat the dog with meat buns, and there will be no return.

To put it bluntly, Li Yunlong’s 80,000 troops mainly played a role in attracting the enemy’s attention and involving the troops on the northwest side, so as not to join Naha and put pressure on the central route army.

Therefore, whether the Western Route Army can fight or not is still two words.

The army was launched, and Li Yunlong walked slowly on the road with 80,000 troops.

Li Yunlong’s posture did put on a posture of playing soy sauce.

It is not that Li Yunlong does not want to arrive at the border as soon as possible, and has made some merits to win glory for His Royal Highness King Qi, mainly under his own hands, most of the troops originally belonged to His Royal Highness King Yan

The run-in between the two sides still needs a certain amount of time, so this first battle must not be too big, and we must first find a small group of Northern Yuan troops to boost morale and enhance their prestige in the army.

“General, how do you want to fight our first battle?”

His Royal Highness King Yan, the general under him, Qiu Fu, asked.

Qiu Fu was a member of the Yan King Zhu Di who was very trusted.

In the Battle of Jing, he made many combat merits, ranking first among the heroes, and was later added as the crown prince and the imperial division.

But now, he is just an ordinary general under King Yan Zhu Di.

And now in this situation, Li Yunlong’s status is obviously higher than him, because this time Li Yunlong went on a campaign, which was different from the past.

He is not just an ordinary general, but represents His Royal Highness King Qi, and is on behalf of His Royal Highness King Qi!

The status is equal to His Royal Highness King Yan.

For meritorious service, Zhu Yuanzhang will reward His Royal Highness King Qi.

If there were, His Royal Highness King Qi would be uncomfortable.

Because he had already postponed Zhu Yuanzhang’s orders for the Northern Expedition twice in a row.

Although he is the emperor’s own son, he is not very good, but he must be severely beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang.

So now, these generals under King Yan Zhu Di are also headed by Li Yunlong and led by his opinions.

However, neither side has cooperated, so it is inevitable that there will be more discussion.

Li Yunlong said nonchalantly: “How else can you fight?” Special mother’s beating to death! The meaning of General Lan Yu and General Xu Da let our soldiers go all the way north, and before setting out on the march, His Royal Highness King Qi also instructed that this battle, for a while, I am afraid that it will not be over.

It is very likely that if you can’t hit the Northern Yuan court, you won’t stop the army.

The days are long, our special lady’s just push all the way north, come to the opposite side to slaughter one, come a pair, slaughter a pair! ”

Qiu Fu hurriedly said: “The general is not appropriate, in fact, our Western Route Army can just act like it, the main thing is to involve the enemy’s forces, and we can’t fight head-to-head.” ”

Li Yunlong rode forward: “I have sent scouts to investigate, first see how the enemy’s forces are deployed, Bete Niang’s wordiness, hurry up!” ”

All the generals praised in unison, but they had great doubts about Li Yunlong’s ability.

The army on the west road continued to move forward slowly.

At the same time, the Central Route Army had already engaged in the first major battle with the main army of Naha.

At 4.4 o’clock in the same year, General Xu Da also led the Eastern Route Army and rushed all the way north.

In the first decisive battle of the Central Route Army, both sides had their own losses, and Ming Jin collected the troops, obviously, they were all tempting.

And the old general Xu Da fell into a quagmire, and the old general Xu Da was extremely famous and his combat effectiveness was also very fierce.

The Northern Yuan has a very, very difficult opponent, Wang Baobao.

It can be said that it was the biggest rival in the early days of the Daming Dynasty, sitting in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

And Wang Baobao fought a decisive battle with Xu Da, Xu Daquan annihilated Wang Baobao’s army of more than 80,000 people, and Wang Baobao fled with only his wife and children and a few relatives!

Xu Da was also famous among the many generals of the Northern Yuan.

In addition, Naha had some instructions not to fight head-on, so he kept harassing and sneaking attacks.

Old General Xu Da, this road is really a stumbling and extremely resigned.

The enemy came, and he was preparing for a big battle, but the enemy withdrew again.

His side stopped, camped and rested, and the enemy came to harass him, which made him very annoyed, but he was unable to start a decisive battle and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Even if the enemy is allowed to leave a hundred or ten corpses, it will not hurt its roots.

His army of 100,000 was dragged here abruptly.

On the contrary, the Western Route Army fought several small-scale battles, and judging from the progress, it actually surpassed the Central Route Army and the Eastern Route Army, and was still going all the way north!
