Chapter 622 Battle of Jiahe
At this moment, the generals of the Hongwu Emperor in the Ming Dynasty thought: The Prince of Yan really doesn't play by the rules!
In response, Zhu Yunwen, the eldest nephew, commented: "Fourth Uncle, you have always been both wise and brave!"
"Then, in March of the third year of Jianwen's reign, the Yan army first set up camp along the Hutuo River, and then sent out a group of cavalry to loiter around Zhengding to carry out a feint."
"The main point is to make a big show of it, to be blatant and obvious, so that the target can see it. This will both confuse Ping An and delay his departure, and allow him to concentrate his efforts on attacking Sheng Yong."
"On the other hand, the main force of the Yan army continued to move south and stationed itself in Jiahe. Sheng Yong and He Fu had also taken the lead in stationing themselves in Jiahe. The two armies were only forty li apart."
"But the Yan army has not forgotten how General Zhang Yu succumbed to his wounds at that damned Dongchang last time!"
"Now that they see the government troops again, as the saying goes, old grudges and new hatreds rise up, without Judy needing to use her art of language, they are like they've been injected with chicken blood, determined to beat the Texas Legion to a pulp!"
"Looking at the Dezhou Corps, Sheng Yong, He Fu, and others are full of confidence in this battle. This is because of the previous Dongchang battle, and also because the Central Army has prepared a new type of weapon."
Upon hearing this, the emperors of dynasties before the Ming Dynasty wished they could personally ask Zhu Yuanzhang how his firearms were designed, or even if that wasn't possible, would they be willing to lend him the opportunity to have his firearms exhibited in their dynasty?
Just like younger generations looking closely at the Terracotta Warriors, they just want to observe them!
Old Zhu: The abacus beads are practically hitting his face!
……
"This thing is called 'Train,' and it's a new type of firearm from the Texas Army. It's probably a modified tank that can support people, spew fire, or fire weapons like muskets."
"Moreover, Sheng Yong, He Fu and others not only prepared these, but also shields and ample ammunition. Even if the vanguard of the Yan army charged recklessly, it would be difficult for them to dodge."
"Judy had already experienced the destructive power of firearms firsthand in the Battle of Baigou River, so he needs to carefully consider his battle plan in light of the situation of the Texas Army."
"It's said they've developed a new set of tactics. Sometimes, I'm quite curious about where the Prince of Yan gets his information from!"
Prince Judy of Yan: (??????) We have connections!
"In any case, the Yan army's tactics are quite complex. First of all, Judy specifically instructed the generals, including Tan Yuan, not to make any rash moves for the time being."
"He himself, with a personal guard, first harassed the front and right flank of the Texas Army, looking for an opportunity to gain some advantage."
"But the Central Army, including He Fu, were no pushovers either. Some of them were experienced veterans of the Hongwu era, and they didn't engage the Prince of Yan in a large-scale campaign."
"Perhaps out of concern for Judy's signature move—the flanking attack—the government forces only dispatched a thousand or so cavalry. But in this scene, the Prince of Yan still showed off his superb long-range shooting ability, hitting several people and killing them on the spot."
"But to be fair, Judy is a really capable leader because she really takes action when there's a problem. Like this time, she was even demonstrating on the sand table for the Yan army generals. She really cares about things."
Judy, the General Who Conquers the North: Alas, the capable are always burdened with more work!
Some military officers: ('?') I just want a leader like that!
