Chapter 50 Brothers Go to War
On the other side, after leaving the capital, Zhu Houzhao felt that even though it was pitch black in all directions, he felt that the sky in front of him was infinitely large, allowing him to roam freely.
My heart is full of high spirits and endless pride, and I want to laugh loudly like a fish jumping out of the water or an eagle striking the sky.
Then he laughed happily.
“Hahaha~!”
"White dragon, drive~!"
"Er~!"
The white dragon made a high and proud cry, with the same joy, and the four hooves moved very fast, in the dark night It flies like a white sharp arrow.
Coupled with its giant body, which is more than seven feet tall (from the shoulders, not counting the head), and Zhu Houzhao, who is waving the sun and moon god on his back, the momentum is so ferocious that it seems irresistible. .
The earth seemed to tremble beneath its hooves.
"Your Highness, slow down!"
Zhu Wuwu, Wang Shouren and others were also riding rare sacred horses, but they were immediately thrown away at this time and could only shout.
Travel a thousand miles in a day and eight hundred miles in a night.
This is easy for Bailong.
But it was a bit difficult for Zhu to ignore the horses they were riding.
However, in the afternoon of August 29th, we arrived at the northwest border three thousand miles away, more than a hundred miles outside Gansu Town, one of the nine towns on the nine sides, and the Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry camp.
“See Your Highness!!!”
In the central tent, twenty or thirty people saluted in unison.
The three lieutenants of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry and ten Qianhu came.
Nominally, he is Zhu Hui, the protector of the country who is in charge of the northern border and inspects the military affairs of the nine borders and nine towns.
Jin Yiwei commander Zhang Fengfu.
Li Guang, the governor of the East Factory.
Zhu Ye.
These four people came in advance.
In addition to those who followed Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Wuwu, Wang Shouren, Li Xunhuan, Xu Ruowu, Liu Jin, Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Cao Shaoqin, Yan Nantian, Zhao Zheng.
Obviously, the core of this battle is these twenty people.
"No courtesy."
Zhu Houzhao has changed into a gorgeous and mighty golden armor. He does not sit down. He stands domineeringly in front of the coach's seat. He waves his hand and has only a trace of silk on his face. There was no trace of expectation and excitement, not the slightest bit of worry.
“Are you all ready?” Zhu Houzhao asked.
"Your Highness, Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry has been prepared and ready to go at any time." A few years later, Duke Mu Kun of Guizhou, who was already one of the three lieutenants of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry, took the lead in saying.
The other two lieutenants and ten thousand households all clasped their fists and saluted in agreement.
“Your Highness, the northern border has made preparations for the Mongolian and Yuan armies to go south.
In order to keep the news secret, the Gansu garrison has not yet learned about this.
But Your Highness set out , I will order them to follow His Majesty and clean up the end, and the Jiayuguan garrison will directly send troops," Zhu Hui said secondly.
His mission is to preside over the northern border and prevent the Mongolian Yuan from taking the opportunity to move south.
There is also the matter of coordinating the dispatch of troops by the Gansu garrison, Jiayuguan, and the Seven Guards of Guanxi.
Emperor Wu’s Dragon Cavalry is very strong.
But Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry only had 10,000 people, and their main goal was to charge all the way and defeat the main force of the Jin Kingdom.
And if you want to completely cripple the Jiannu branch of the Jin Kingdom in one battle, you need more soldiers to wipe them out to expand the results.
"Your Highness, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have joined forces to sweep all the eyes inside and outside Gansu Town yesterday.
Even if there are still fish that slip through the net, no news can be spread.
But at most In three days, Jiannu, Meng Yuan and other forces will surely react, realize something is wrong, and send people to investigate," Li Guang continued in a solemn voice.
Standing behind him are Cao Zhengchun and Cao Shaoqin.
The two of them joined Dongchang two years ago to prepare for the future.
"Your Highness, the Jinyiwei spies have been increasing their strength and going deep into the Kingdom of Jin since a few years ago, and are ready.
Spies have also been widely dispatched on the grassland to monitor the Mongolian and Yuan armies." Zhang Fengfu said solemnly.
Yan Nantian and Zhao Zheng are also standing behind him.
In the past two years, the two of them have sat in the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu. In this battle, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are the two eyes of the army.
"Okay, hahaha, now that everything is ready, let's send out troops tomorrow and go straight to Jiannu Shengjing." Zhu Houzhao laughed disdainfully.
“Your Majesty.” Everyone saluted in unison.
After the military order was issued, Emperor Wu’s dragon cavalry camp quickly prepared.
"Your Highness, after the expedition, I will sit in the rear, and Yan Nantian will follow you for information communication." Zhang Fengfu said.
"Your Highness, Cao Zhengchun will be with you from Dongchang." Li Guang continued.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and the two left with Zhao Zheng and Cao Shaoqin.
They have a lot going on.
Everyone else went to prepare.
At this time, Zhu Ye just told Zhu Houzhao something about the martial arts forces in the northwest.
The news has also been blocked from them, but these forces are the local snakes, and I am afraid they have already noticed it.
Some of them must have colluded with Jiannu and Meng Yuan.
Of course, under full lockdown, a few days is still possible.
"Uncle, do your best to investigate and see which forces colluded with Jiannu and Meng Yuan?
I will let the Jin Yiwei also investigate.
After I send troops, Let Duke Bao Guo send troops and Dongchang cooperate to eradicate them all." Zhu Houzhao snorted and said domineeringly.
"Your Highness, you might as well wait until this battle is over before settling accounts with them.
Otherwise, if the war continues, the remnants may take the opportunity to cause chaos." Zhu Ye said seriously.
"No need, they won't have a chance." Zhu Houzhao said confidently.
"Yes." Although Zhu Ye had some objections, he still responded.
Then I went to give the order.
After a while, Wang Shouren returned to the tent and said in a solemn voice: "Your Highness, do you know the troop dispatch plan by heart? Why don't you repeat it again?"
"My prince has already memorized it by heart." Zhu Houzhao replied. Looking at the sand table in the tent, his eyes seemed to be shining with excitement. He stretched out his hand and said with an extremely focused expression, "Send troops from Gansu Town and aim directly at Jiannu Shengjing.
At the speed of my Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry , endurance, can travel two hundred and forty miles a day, and still maintain peak combat power.
Shengjing is more than 1,400 miles away from Gansu Town.
During this period, he has to pass through two passes and three passes. A city with an unknown number of nomadic tribes.
Passes cannot be bypassed and must be conquered, while cities and nomadic tribes can be bypassed.
If you encounter the Jiannu Eight Banners tribe, you must destroy them.
On the way to Shengjing, we should also look for the Eight Banners soldiers and kill them.
Go all the way to Shengjing City and fight decisively with it.
If everything goes well, we will arrive at Jiannu Shengjing City in six days at the earliest and ten days at the latest..."
The sonorous and powerful voice resounded through the central tent. At this time, Zhu Houzhao showed a rare calmness.
Wang Shouren watched and listened quietly, with relief in his eyes.
This battle must be won.
Cooking at the fourth watch and departure at the fifth watch.
“Boom!!!”
Before dawn, the roar of horse hooves was already shaking the earth.
Without stopping, we passed directly through Gansu Town, which has been under full martial law.
Beyond the vast expanse of grassland, the banner of Emperor Wu's Dragon Cavalry stands tall.
Ten thousand cavalry and thirty thousand war horses stood behind Zhu Houzhao.
A pair of eyes filled with reverence, adoration, and passion, trusting that figure without any reservation.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, there was undisguised anticipation and excitement, and he was overflowing with pride.
The sun and moon god waved his hand and pointed forward.
"Brothers, go out to war."
