Chapter 193: Liao King Zhu Qizhen is a god!(1/2)
The wars in the northern line range from east to west, and the eight hundred miles south of the desert almost turned into a pot of porridge.
Wherever there was a place to support, the Northern Yuan army launched a fierce attack on the front line of the Great Wall.
However, they were not siegeing the city, but large numbers of cavalry moved quickly outside the Great Wall. Once they found an empty defense, they would attack fiercely.
When other Ming troops felt it, they would retreat like a tide, leaving corpses all over the ground.
The Ming army, which relied on the Great Wall for defense, naturally suffered smaller losses.
Such an attack will not only make the Beiyuan unable to get any benefits, but it will not occupy a city.
There was no material or captive people, and it was just a simple waste of the lives of the Northern Yuan soldiers.
But in the war era, the most valuable thing may be the lives of these ordinary soldiers.
The reason why the Northern Yuan Dynasty did this was very obvious, that was, it was to delay time for Goryeo.
Although Li Chenggui has controlled the Goryeo regime, there are still a large number of royalists in Goryeo after all.
There are also all kinds of princes and nobles who have received orders to serve the king. How could these princes and nobles be willing to obey a foreign Li Chenggui?
Although Li Chenggui had 80,000 elite soldiers, the military strength of those princes and nobles might not be worse than that of Li Chenggui.
The most important thing is that they believe that the people of Goryeo are in their hearts.
But in fact, people always support whoever gives food.
Just like those ordinary soldiers, why can a general control the soldiers and rebel once he has military power?
Could it be that those soldiers didn’t know that rebellion would kill the nine clans?
Of course not, but because the generals are the ones who give them food directly. As the saying goes, it is better to take care of officials than officials. This is the reason.
And Li Chenggui also knew that his regime was not foolproof.
Although he was carrying the King of Goryeo in his hand, he could also issue various orders in the name of the king, just like Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, he brought the emperor to command the princes.
But there are no fewer versions of Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the Goryeo version.
In addition, there was a Ming army stationed in Tieling City, and Li Chenggui actually allowed Tieling City to be occupied by the Ming army.
His prestige is in Goryeo, so naturally he will not be as arrogant as before.
This Goryeo country has become a mess, and the chaos has arrived.
Goryeo, who had been breathing for nearly half a century with the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty fighting for hegemony, finally ended his dividend period.
Zhu Qi naturally hoped that the country of Goryeo would be as good as possible. He never expected the Goryeo army to help the Ming army.
As long as the country is in chaos in Goryeo, you don’t have to worry about back-stinging yourself.
And I can rest assured that it is only a matter of time before I can slowly erode the territory of Tieling.
However, before this, we must concentrate on facing the defensive pressure on the Liaohe River. After all, the main offensive direction of the Beiyuan was the Liaohe River in Liaodong.
Nahachu obviously also received Wang Baobao's death order, attacking the defenses along the Liaohe River frantically as if they were not alive.
He even did not hesitate to attack across the river, but after Zhang Yu, Lan Yu and Jack Ma and other generals consolidated the defense line several times.
The defense line of Liaohe is already solid and cannot be broken through so easily.
Every attack from Naha left a large number of corpses under the Liaohe defense line.
You must not relax in the Liaohe River. Zhu Qi has no time to fish now.
Every day, I just look at a beautiful battle report, then listen to the opinions of the deputy generals below and make a decision.
You can say that there is a little reason why the ancients said that practice makes perfect.
After Zhu Qi saw those battle reports, he could probably have an overview and his own ideas in his heart.
Although some of these ideas are bad ideas, some of them are good ideas.
But Zhu Qi's only advantage is that he is good at listening to the opinions of the people below.
He kept his thoughts in his heart, then listened to opinions from all parties, and finally came up with a decision at this time.
Although there are no famous futures to guide me, most of the decisions I made on the basis of the Liaohe defense line were the correct decisions.
So Zhu Qi broke into and struggled with Naha in Liaodong. The battle situation could be said to be very anxious. Liaodong meat grinders were nothing more than that.
Zhu Qi felt that it was very difficult for him to achieve this level, but in the eyes of other generals and the ministers of Yingtian Prefecture, he felt a little strange.
You should know the reputation of our King of Liao, who is a famous young general in the world.
Nahachu was also a defeated general under His Highness the Liao King before, so why is he still fighting with Nahachu now?
You know, on the northern line, Li Wenzhong had already broken through the Great Wall and went directly to the south of the desert to search for the main force of the Northern Yuan army.
Although there was not much gain, this momentum has been exerted.
Not to mention Fu Youde and Xu Da, they can also take the initiative to attack, and no general is at the defensive line.
Although the civil servants in Yingtian Prefecture cannot understand these things, they can understand a little bit by listening to the explanations of the generals.
Some civil officials suspected that His Highness of the Liao King was not so frivolous, how could he be so vulnerable and could be like Naha's like this?
For a moment, a sound appeared, that was, His Highness the King of Liao relied on other generals before the war.
Actually, I have no idea, and as everyone rumored, I really am the star of Wenqu who descended to earth and could do everything.
Although such sounds are a minority, they still occupy a certain amount of weight in Wencheng.
However, all these mixed sounds soon disappeared at a court meeting.
What I said at this court meeting was nothing else. Zhu Yuanzhang took out all the military information reports sent from various places at the court meeting and discussed them with everyone.
The most important thing is to count the losses of all parties and other things.
As a result, after these reports were posted, all of them were stunned.
The reason is not other reasons, because the result of the worst-looking battle of His Highness Liao, who seemed to be fighting, was the highest!
Whether it is the North or the West, although the generals of the Ming army gained the initiative and took the initiative to find the main force of the Yuan army to fight a decisive battle.
But the Yuan army was no longer the unbearable Yuan army back then.
They have now recovered a little, and the tradition of cavalry that had acted like the wind.
It is not that easy to find them to fight.
But if Wang Ting goes deep into the desert to find them, she will easily be ambushed. After all, Wang Baobao is still alive.
If the generals of the Ming army were not absolutely necessary, they would still be unwilling to go deep into the desert.
The result is that the number of beheadings of the Ming army was not as high as expected.
They just wandered around the desert or plateau, driving the Yuan army, and that's all.
In comparison, the results of Liao King Zhu Qi, who had been defending in the Liaohe River, achieved unprecedented results.
After only less than two months of war, although no Ming army stepped out of the Liaohe defense line when the Liao King first started.
However, during the defense process, nearly 10,000 people have been beheaded and thousands have been captured.
You know, how many professional soldiers in the Northern Yuan Dynasty are there in total?
In just two months, 10,000 people were beheaded and thousands of prisoners were captured. In total, 20,000 of them were lost to the defense line of the Liaohe River.
It is enough to see how crazy the Northern Yuan Dynasty was about the Liaohe defense line.
There are not a few Ming troops on the Liaohe defense line, with a large number of 100,000 people. It is precisely because of the guarantee of so many people that Zhu Qi can stabilize the defense line.
Zhu Qi felt that he and Naha were fighting for 550 times, and those speculative officials also thought so, which of course is the actual situation.
But coincidentally, when the 55-5 battle was fought, the Ming army lost the least number of people, but the enemy with the largest number of people was able to behead the enemy with the largest number.
In other words, the Yuan Dynasty's army crossed the river and actively attacked the fortress. The damage was not ordinary, but you couldn't help it if you didn't fight.
If you don't take the initiative to attack, Goryeo will really become the world of Li Chenggui. It is precisely because of the continuous attacks of the Yuan Dynasty that the news reached Goryeo that the princes and nobles of Goryeo were able to raise their troops to resist Li Chenggui.
The idea that Bei Yuan was holding was to wait for Goryeo to recover and instead help Bei Yuan.
However, this strategy seems to have not yet been waiting for Goryeo to recover, the Northern Yuan army is about to be thrust into the head and blood.
So, the current situation occurred. His Highness, who did nothing but focused on defense, achieved the greatest victory.
However, the generals who took the initiative to attack got nothing, but they gained the initiative in strategy.
However, it is not the time for the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to attack, so it doesn’t matter if it has the initiative. As long as you can defend the defense line and make Goryeo worse, the better. This is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty.
It is obvious that His Highness the strategic policy of the Liao King has achieved such a goal.
As soon as the civil servants and military generals analyzed, they were all shocked.
I originally thought that His Highness the King of Liao was not capable enough, but I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Liao had already thought about it carefully and thought of this level early on.
That's why he defended the defense line, making the Beiyuan think that he could not defeat him, and then sent troops to attack the defense line. It's like the same principle that when surrounding a city, it only surrounds three sides, not four sides.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word. Just publishing these data made the civil officials feel ashamed.
The generals suddenly realized and sighed that His Highness the King of Liao was like a god.
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more obvious. Needless to say, in the court, he also criticized the civil officials who wanted to trouble His Highness the King of Liao every day, and then praised himself as a natural god.
