Although Zhu Youjian is young, he is a dragon after all. His understanding is not low. He understood it instantly and couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, "General Li, look at my brain, I almost missed something big."
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is actually no cleverness in fighting. The art of war says that soldiers are also crafty. If you want to win a battle, the best way is to make the enemy unexpected. Surprise him and attack him unprepared! Don't give the enemy any chance.
The time to react is mainly because you are still young and your experience is not sufficient. If you experience this kind of thing twice more, with your wisdom, you will definitely be several times better than your humble position. Tonight, we will sneak into the village without any shooting.
"
Although he knew that Li Yuanqing was complimenting him, Zhu Youjian felt indescribably happy after listening to it in his heart. His mood suddenly became brighter and he laughed, "General Li is right. Let's sneak into the village. Don't do it."
Let them notice."
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes. Your Highness, that's the truth."
After speaking, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "Leave ten brothers to guard the horses, and the rest will approach on foot."
In terms of delivering orders, Changsheng Camp already had an extremely strong and stable system, and Li Yuanqing's orders were quickly passed down.
After a moment, Li Yuanqing's soldiers dismounted one after another, carried their own weapons, and headed forward quickly and orderly under the leadership of their respective officers.
Although most of the palace guards of Xin Wang Zhu Youjian were just showmen, with Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers guiding them in front, they seemed to have a guiding light. After a while of commotion, they hurriedly followed.
Zhu Youjian said excitedly: "General Li, let's follow him."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your Highness, please."
With that said, Li Yuanqing and Zhu Youjian quickly joined the walking army.
Behind him, Wang Chengen hurriedly followed the two of them.
The official road is very spacious, but this is the capital after all. Even though it is already 11 o'clock, there are still some businessmen and pedestrians coming and going. When they see the team of Li Yuanqing and his party, they give way one after another.
After walking a few dozen steps forward, Li Yuanqing waved his hand and ordered the team to turn into the woods nearby.
Li Yuanqing has already explained the core elements of this battle to Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Youjian naturally understands it very well.
After turning into the woods, the road became much more difficult, but instead of complaining, Zhu Youjian was extremely excited. He kept calling out to Li Yuanqing and chased him to the front of the team.
However, both Li Yuanqing and Zhu Youjian were in their prime of life and had full physical strength, but they had pity on Wang Chengen, who had old arms and legs.
But Zhu Youjian was so interested that he could only grit his teeth and keep up.
It didn't take more than half an hour, around 1:30, the large group of people successfully arrived outside the north gate of Kongjiazhuangzi.
The north gate of Kongjia Zhuangzi is very spacious and is adjacent to the official road. Inside the official road is a wide square with a large number of horse tethers and stables, which is somewhat similar to a parking lot in later generations.
Li Yuanqing and his party were currently on the opposite side of the official road, resting temporarily in a sparse grove.
Although he was a little tired from the journey, Zhu Youjian was in great spirits. Looking at the Kongjiazhuangzi not far away, he couldn't help but laugh, "General Li, we are here. When will we start?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. We are all a little tired from the journey. Let's rest for a quarter of an hour."
"Um."
Zhu Youjian nodded hurriedly, but didn't want to be idle, so he hurriedly ran to the front to check the situation at the opposite side of the village.
Looking at Zhu Youjian's young but hopeful back, Li Yuanqing's eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.
Zhu Youjian's age is the most critical period for the formation and stability of his outlook on life and values. If he, Li Yuanqing, were to teach Zhu Youjian, maybe...
But within a moment, this idea disappeared from Li Yuanqing's mind.
He, Li Yuanqing, is just a vulgar warrior. Although he has achieved some success at this time, in the eyes of the big guys, he is probably no different from an ant.
How could he obtain the rights of the future ‘Emperor Master’?
The most important thing is that although Zhu Youjian is young, due to various reasons, his temperament has now begun to show an unspeakable strength...
How difficult it is to get along with this man!
At this time, Wang Chengen carefully approached Li Yuanqing and whispered: "General Li, just let His Highness have a taste of this battle. Don't let His Highness rush to the front line. Otherwise... neither you nor I can afford it."
This is the responsibility."
Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law. Later, I will definitely guard His Highness's side and protect the safety of His Highness and father-in-law."
Wang Chengen may have felt that he had gone too far, so he smiled and said, "General Li, it's not that the Za family doesn't believe in your strength. It's just that in everything, we must put safety first."
"What my father-in-law said is true. In a humble position, one must act with caution."
Seeing that Li Yuanqing was confident, Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to feel completely relieved and hurriedly rushed to Zhu Youjian's side.
After resting for about ten minutes, Niu Gensheng quickly came to Li Yuanqing and whispered: "General, it's almost time."
Li Yuanqing nodded and ordered in a low voice: "Later, you will personally lead the attack. First blow open the village gate and control the situation. Try to defeat their main force in the shortest time. The finishing work will be left to the princes.
Just let the guards come."
Niu Gensheng had been following Li Yuanqing for many years, so he immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant.
They come to do the 'dirty work and tiring work', and the most beneficial tasks are naturally left to the palace guards.
"General, I understand your humble position." Niu Gensheng nodded vigorously.
Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Niu Gensheng on the shoulder, "Let's take action!"
"yes!"
Niu Gensheng perked up and rushed to the front, calling on the soldiers to start 'working'.
Soon, hundreds of soldiers, like ghosts and elves in the dark night, quickly moved towards the north gate of Kongjiazhuangzi.
Zhu Youjian quickly discovered the action here and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He hurriedly came to Li Yuanqing and said, "General Li, are you going to start taking action? What should the orphans do?"
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your Highness, you can order the palace guards to wait in line first. When the men under your humble command rush through the village gate, your guards can rush in and decide the outcome in one battle."
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, clenched his two small fists tightly, and said hurriedly: "Big companion, go and gather the men! No! Go alone."
With that said, he hurriedly went to greet several guards and commanders.
These palace guards also saw clearly that the soldiers under Li Yuanqing's command had already taken away the dirtiest and most tiring work. There was no way they would be in too much danger if they followed behind.
They were all extremely excited to be able to fight behind the world-famous Changsheng Battalion, and no one was willing to let go of this opportunity to both perform meritorious service and show off in front of their little master.
Soon, the palace guards also finished forming their team. Zhu Youjian hurriedly came to Li Yuanqing's side and said with a smile: "General Li, we are all ready."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's just wait here with peace of mind and wait for the good news ahead."
Zhu Youjian nodded hurriedly and focused all his eyes on the front.
At this time, Niu Gensheng and the other soldiers had already approached the gate of the Kong family's village.
Because this is the outskirts of the capital, even if these Zhuangzi have defenses, they never dare to go too far. The most obvious thing is that Zhuangzi does not have turrets.
Although there was still light inside the gate, it was already that late and the servant guarding the door was already fast asleep, and his long and short snores could be heard clearly.
This gate is very large, almost one meter high. It is made of heavy wood and covered with iron sheets. It is smaller than the city gate, but not much smaller.
As a result, if the door bolt is inserted from the inside, it will be difficult to open it from the outside.
However, when it comes to breaking doors, the men of Changsheng Camp already have the richest experience in simple but practical methods.
Niu Gensheng waved his hand, and several engineers and soldiers quickly blocked two quilt-sized explosive packets in front of the gate and quickly set off the fuses.
Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers were obviously different from those of other generals of the Ming Dynasty.
The generals and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are almost all the most courageous people in the army. They enjoy the highest treatment, have the highest rights, and share the glory and loss of their masters. They are loyal and loyal.
The final trump card.
Their most important responsibility is to protect the safety of their masters and generals, and they will also charge into battle on certain specific battlefields.
Li Yuanqing's soldiers were roughly the same, but the configuration of the troops was more complicated.
In the order of Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers, there were not only sword and shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and cannon soldiers, but also engineers, riders, sentries, sailors, and sailors, which included almost all the arms of the Changsheng Battalion.
As the saying goes, ‘If you don’t have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries’.
At any time, eggs should never be put in just one basket.
Having lived in two generations, Li Yuanqing understood this point more thoroughly.
Therefore, his personal soldiers are "various", which may seem complicated, but in fact, they are a microcosm of the entire Changsheng Camp.
In this way, even if a huge accident happens one day in the future, as long as these soldiers are at hand, Li Yuanqing can still regroup and make a comeback in the shortest possible time!
At this time, before Niu Gensheng stepped forward, the fuse had been drawn out thirty steps to a safe distance.
He quickly waved his hand to signal the engineers to step forward and light the fuse, and the others quickly retreated and took cover.
The two engineers quickly took out the flint, carefully ignited the fire breakers, and lit the fuse.
In an instant, the "sizzling" fire was like a fire dragon dancing on the ground, quickly rushing towards the village gate.
Zhu Youjian couldn't help but be curious, and said hurriedly: "General Li, what is this?"
Wang Chengen also looked forward curiously.
Most of the palace guards behind him were also like this.
To be continued...
