Chapter 607 Both Sides' Strategies
Zhu Di: Descendant, I suggest you carefully consider your words before you speak!
At the same time, during the Hongwu era, Li Jinglong, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, would have loudly proclaimed: "Father, he's made something of himself! He's dealt a huge blow to the Prince of Yan!" He wasn't the Prince of Yan spy that later generations claimed!
Zhu Yunwen: Brother, is this you?
Compared to Li Jinglong's heartfelt joy, the others had more complicated expressions. After all, the Prince of Yan had the upper hand in the uncle-nephew dispute from the very beginning, and this sudden turn of events was quite unusual!
To be honest, seeing the King of Yan at a disadvantage made me feel a little bittersweet. It turns out the King of Yan could miscalculate!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang watched his son's misery with a clear conscience. His fourth son had such a miserable time, haha!
……
"So, after the swarm attack, Zhu Di's side suffered heavy casualties. Since they couldn't win, they had no choice but to retreat. But retreating was not an easy task."
"Because of the retreat to cover the rear, Zhu Di only had three riders left after breaking out of the enemy lines. The battle lasted from day to night, and they even got lost. At this moment, Zhu Di could only cross the river in the dark."
"Relying on the sound of the river to determine the direction, we finally returned to our camp. This day was terrible! Looking at it this way, Li Jinglong doesn't seem to be such a bad guy after all; he does have some skills."
During the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was furious after hearing all this.
Gunpowder existed in the Tang Dynasty, but in the Song Dynasty, the effectiveness of firearms and the fighting prowess of generals were completely unimportant!
The key point is that the guy above, when the Jin soldiers attacked, cowered faster than anyone else!
"Perhaps having learned from the mistakes of the initial rush, Zhu Di later established three major battalions, among which the Shenji Battalion was specifically in charge of firearms, pioneering the world's first firearms-equipped troops. Zhu Di proposed the operational principle of 'Shenji muskets in front, cavalry behind.'"
"Unfortunately, every family has a spendthrift grandson. Judy was no exception. In the Battle of Tumu Fortress, the Shenji Battalion, along with those soldiers, was completely wiped out. It was Yu Qian who rebuilt it later."
"On the other hand, Zhu Di, who fled back to the camp in a sorry state, reflected on the whole process of the defeat and realized that he was indeed caught off guard by the firearms in the hands of the government troops."
"So the next day, Zhu Di's deployment was much more cautious than the day before. For example, the Yan army was concentrated in the front, left, right and rear four armies, led by Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Fang Kuan and others respectively."
"As for Zhu Di himself, he stayed in the central army position with his second son Zhu Gaoxu and Tan Yuan leading a part of the elite troops."
"Actually, Judy had several hundred Mongol soldiers who came from the opposite side to join the Prince of Yan late last night, but they were sent away by the Yan army before dawn."
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty who heard this was speechless.
Is it appropriate to kill those who surrender at this time?
And yet, someone is so close to you, and you turn on them with knives? And what kind of commander is the Prince of Yan?!
Zhu Di: "..."
"As for Li Jinglong, by the next morning, he had already set up his troops along the river, forming a ten-mile-long formation with hundreds of thousands of soldiers stretching for dozens of miles."
"As for his military formation, the front army consisted of Zhai Neng and his son, the left and right armies were led by Guo Ying and Ping An, the central command was led by Li Jinglong, and the others included Xu Huizu (the exact position is uncertain) and others."
"When the two armies faced each other, Li Jinglong's side launched the first attack, followed by Zhai Neng and his son, and all the soldiers and generals behind them, charging fiercely at the front of the Yan army."
