Zhu Xieyuan's use of troops is fast and ruthless. If other generals or forces match him, they are afraid to suffer heavy losses. However, he, a veteran of the battlefield, has suffered a lot in front of Li Dingguo, a new comer. At least he can't get any advantage.
At this stage, Zhu Xieyuan plans to quickly win Xiangyang and rescue Nanjing or Wuchang, which will be officially bankrupt.
Before he won Xiangyang, all his military actions were inappropriate.
Xiangyang City, he is sure to attack, but it takes time, but what he needs most now is time
Both the Chinese army and the Ming army are in a race against time, hoping to be one step ahead and control more places.
Zhu Xieyuan understood that he had to recover Huguang before the enemy had time to respond, so that they could occupy all their strategic advantages. Otherwise, if the Chinese army was allowed to deploy calmly, he would soon collapse under the iron hoof of the enemy.
After wiping out the Qingzhou division, one of the six main forces of the Chinese army, Zhu Xieyuan was not elated or happy about it. He was deeply worried. Why did he fall into deep anxiety? It is because he saw that the equipment of the Chinese army is extremely sophisticated and the quality of the army is very high. Such an army is regarded as a servant level in Daming, but it is only the six main forces in the Chinese army.
The Liu family is so rich and well-equipped. How can Daming be the enemy?
That's why Zhu Xieyuan was so unkind and tried every means to win Xiangyang first.
Zhu Xieyuan was also surrounded by a group of aides and counselors. They offered advice and suggested that Zhu Xieyuan surrender to the other party, but Zhu Xieyuan flatly refused.
He knew that it was a waste of time to surrender to the other side, because Daming did not have an advantage in the south at all, and the other side might not be willing to surrender. If the other side was willing to surrender, what position could it give? It was just a waste of time.
Therefore, although Zhu Xieyuan knew that this was an inappropriate way, he immediately started a tentative attack after arriving in Xiangyang City, hoping to find the weak links of the other party's defense.
But he didn't take advantage of this round of fighting.
Xiangyang City is neither a copper wall nor an iron wall. It just takes time to win.
Zhu Xieyuan sighed: "what benshuai needs most now is time."
That's why Zhu Xieyuan gave a death order to the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Guo Chun, ordering him to quickly repel the enemy's fleet, or go away. He knew that this was actually very ruthless and inhuman, but he had no choice.
Today, it really came to the point that either you or I died. The commander personally ordered. Guo Chun had no choice but to take the order, but he knew it was impossible. His navy would die to deal with the enemy's fleet.
Guo Chun was full of confidence before he saw the other party's fleet. He thought his fleet was also first-class and could compete with the world's navy. However, after seeing the other party's warships, he realized that compared with the other party, it was a beggar, or even worse than a beggar.
Guo Chun's Sichuan Navy still stayed at the level of side contact and fire attack. The other side has used artillery as the main way of fighting. Each warship is like a mobile fort, with several red cannon mounted on it, and the firepower is so powerful that it is frightening.
At this moment, Guo Chun wanted to know what the fleet was and what the navy was. Guo Chun always wondered why the other side's navy was always called the Navy. It is said that the other side's navy has a very high status, even above the army.
Guo Chun's Sichuan Navy is attached to the Sichuan capital division. They have to listen to the orders of the Sichuan capital division. In addition, there is a serious shortage of funds. They often default on the army, like stepmothers. They don't even have enough funds to supplement ordinary ships, let alone buy artillery and make new warships.
At ordinary times, all people regard them as stepmothers. Now they want them to fight hard in the war. It's just to let them fight with the strongest Chinese army and navy in the world. This is to die.
Guo Chun was indignant. He was even angry: "the marshal asked me to wait and work hard. At least I'll give some home expenses and burn and bury silver to encourage morale? I don't have any hair. I'll fight a hammer."
Now in the war, when launching the army to charge, who didn't promise a generous reward and organize the death squads to charge. The commander now wants them to be death squads, but he won't give them even a little military silver.
Guo Chun left dashai's camp. Seeing that it was late and it was time for dinner, he rushed to the canteen for a meal. As a result, when he arrived, he regretted a little and wanted to turn around.
Because Lu Ba Qun, the last person he wanted to see, also wolfed down in the canteen with a group of his minions.
The official titles of the two sides are similar, but the other side is the chief soldier of the land division, whose status is much higher than that of the deputy chief soldier of the Navy. Moreover, the other side has a backstage and a backer, presses him everywhere, and satirizes him everywhere.
Guo Chun wanted to turn around and leave, but he was afraid that the other party would satirize him and fled, so he had to come in with his men.
Guo Chun was thinking that Lu Baqun was usually arrogant and domineering. He had just suffered this defeat. Should he converge?
Who knows that Lu Baqun didn't mean to converge at all. He lost the battle, but he thought he was hurt by a traitor, Ma Xianglin, and the relationship between Ma Xianglin and Guo Chun was very good. Seeing him, Lu Baqun became angry from his heart and evil from his courage.
Lu Baqun always looked down on Guo Chun and often mocked him. Now he is no exception. He thought of a good stem. He said to Dai Qianyuan, the deputy general around him: "do you know why Guo Chun is called Guo Chun?"
Deputy general Dai Qianyuan echoed and said, "the end will not know."
Lu Baqun said, "in those years, my mother Guo did welcome and send business. At the same time, she had close contacts with three people named Gao, Li and Chen. She was a regular customer. Later, she became pregnant and didn't know who it was, so she took Gao's head, Li's feet and half of Chen to form a Guo character. As for spring, the three people together are spring."
Lu Baqun said so obscene that his men laughed one after another. They always looked down on Guo Chun and satirized his origin, but it was the first time to be so merciless as today.
Guo Chun was furious.
As the deputy commander in chief of the Navy, Guo Chun was also a person with status and status. Moreover, the soldier had no temper. When he heard the public abuse of himself, he shouted, "your ancestors board board!" and rushed over and punched Lu Baqun in the face.
Lu Baqun made trouble today. When he saw the other party waving his fist, he didn't hesitate. He picked up his fist and hit it. He said loudly, "beat the turtle."
Both sides are senior generals. There are a large number of people around them. The boss beat them, and the younger brothers also started to fight. Originally, the big guys ate in the canteen and wolfed down. As a result, they became a battlefield for fighting. Fortunately, both sides know that they are colleagues. They beat and kicked, but they didn't use weapons. At most, they just hit each other with dishes and benches.
There are also officers on duty outside the canteen. They usually clean up and teach these undisciplined Qiu Ba people here. However, like today, it is the first time for the senior generals to take the lead in fighting. He really didn't dare to take care of it, so he hurried to the commander-in-chief and begged him to come and take it.
Zhu Xieyuan broke his mind about Xiangyang City. How to win Xiangyang became something he wanted to do by all means, but he thought day and night, but he didn't know the point, so he couldn't help feeling very anxious.
Who knows, at this time, he was very angry when he heard the news that two of his generals were fighting. Zhu Xieyuan knew that Lu Baqun and Guo Chun were fighting. No one could persuade him, but he went in person.
Zhu Xieyuan immediately put on his iron armor and took his pro guard. He came to the canteen and saw that the other party was still fighting. Guo Chun and Lu Baqun, the two generals in the hall, actually formed a group, stole peaches and dug holes, and rolled around on the ground and in the pile of food.
Seeing such chaos, Zhu Xieyuan was very angry and said to his deputy general Li Gang, "beat Ben Shuai to death and kill him."
Zhu Xieyuan gave the order, and Li Gang, the leader of the personal team, said loudly, "get the order!" although he said loudly and said to fight to death, he still dared not use a knife and gun. He ordered his soldiers to turn the gun head upside down with a long gun and beat these fighters with a big stick.
These hundreds of soldiers formed a group in the dining hall. They didn't know that the bad food was bad until they found that the commander came to suppress it in person. Therefore, when the personal soldiers hit them, they knelt down one after another, or fled in confusion and left the place of right and wrong.
Only Guo Chun and Lu Baqun were red eyed and beaten into a group. They still refused to break up. They wrestled together and wanted to eat each other's meat and drink each other's blood.
Seeing that there was no way, Li Gang had to rush up with a team of soldiers in person, separate the two of them and kneel them down on the ground.
When the two of them fought, they were very angry and their eyes almost burst out. Their appearance was that even if the heavenly king Lao Tzu came, they had to deal with each other severely. Besides, who knew that when the commander-in-chief came, they saw Zhu Xieyuan with a murderous face and sitting on the back of a horse in an iron armor, they knew they were afraid and knelt down and dared not look up.
Zhu Xieyuan said coldly, "if you can fight like this, why don't you go to the Chinese thieves and fight here?"
Guo Chun was beaten with swollen eyes and blue nose, but his anger was hard to calm. He pointed to Lu Baqun and said angrily, "this despicable man is full of shit. His despicable position is irreconcilable with him."
Lu Baqun didn't mean to be afraid. He said, "the end will tell the truth. Don't you even tell the truth these days? Dare to be a bitch, why don't you dare to admit it?"
Zhu Xieyuan saw that the two were still talking back. He was very angry and said to Li Gang, "hit the fifty army stick hard, and those who show mercy will sit back."
