Chapter 32
After Bu Wan took the military report, he just wanted to open it.
But thinking that Feng Sheng had already arrived, and with Feng Sheng's arrival, as the commander-in-chief of this expedition against the Northern Yuan, the Daning Prefecture army was all under his command, Bu Wan naturally dared not overstep, and immediately handed the military report in his hand respectfully to Feng Sheng.
"Please, Duke, take a look." Bu Wan said.
Feng Sheng nodded, immediately took it, and opened it to look.
At this look.
Feng Sheng's expression changed immediately.
After finishing reading.
A look of astonishment even appeared in Feng Sheng's eyes.
"Good, good, good."
"It seems I am old after all, and underestimated this Zhu Ying."
"I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, raiding the camp under the cover of night, killing the Tatars off guard."
Feng Sheng suddenly laughed loudly, apparently surprised by the military report in his hand.
Looking at Feng Sheng who was so excited, many generals also looked at him one after another, full of curiosity and surprise.
"I don't know what this Zhu Ying did? To make the Duke so happy?" Marquis of Nanxiong Zhao Yong asked with a smile.
This time Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang issued a decree to settle Nahachu, not only was the troop strength as high as over two hundred thousand, but the lineup of battle generals was also very large.
With Duke of Song Feng Sheng as the Grand General.
The left and right Deputy Generals were Duke of Ying Fu Fu Youde and Marquis of Marquis Yongchang Lan Yu.
There were also four left and right Assistant Generals: Marquis of Nanxiong Zhao Yong, Marquis of Dingyuan Wang Bi, Marquis of Dongchuan Hu Hai, and Duke of Zheng Chang Mao.
These were the most battle-hardened Huaixi generals; perhaps Huaixi was arrogant, but their ability to command troops and fight battles was rarely matched; they were all great meritorious officials who had experienced the founding of the Great Ming, the expulsion of the Yuan court, and the restoration of the Han mountains and rivers.
"Could it be that Zhu Ying's raid on the Tatar tribe was successful?" Bu Wan thought with slight surprise.
"I underestimated this Zhu Ying."
"You read it out."
Feng Sheng smiled and handed the military report in his hand to the commander of his personal guards beside him.
The latter respectfully took it.
"Subordinate Zhu Ying, reporting to the Regional Military Commissioner."
"Now."
"Our five thousand soldiers are wandering in the heartland of the Tatars; according to our army's scouts, the Tatars are gathering troops toward their Blue Flag Tribe, and the Yuan court also intends to send troops to reinforce."
"Five thousand troops, to the Tatars and the Yuan court, are extremely insignificant; once entangled by the Tatars, it will inevitably be a situation of annihilation."
"But our Great Ming's main army has not arrived; if we only harass them simply, the Tatars will inevitably invade our Daning on a large scale, coordinate with the Yuan court to attack from two sides, and will inevitably ruin our Great Ming's plan to destroy the Yuan."
"Therefore, the subordinate must drag the Tatars down, at all costs."
"This time."
"The subordinate investigated the details of the Tatar Blue Flag Tribe; they have over thirty thousand troops deployed, and only a surprise attack can disrupt the Tatar deployment and disturb the Tatars."
"Therefore, the subordinate split the troops into two routes, using Battalion Commander Li Tao, who was unwilling to obey the military order, to harass the Tatar southern tribe, while the subordinate led four thousand soldiers to circle to the Tatar northern tribe, and launched a surprise attack first..."
"This battle."
"The subordinate led four thousand soldiers to kill into the Tatar northern tribe; the enemy was completely unprepared, and our army's surprise attack achieved great results, beheading over ten thousand enemies! Although there were some injuries, not a single person was left behind in the Tatar tribe; it was a great victory."
Feng Sheng's personal guard commander read aloud.
Hearing this battle result.
Everyone in the hall looked on in surprise, apparently a bit unable to believe this battle result.
"Zhu Ying, he actually succeeded in the surprise attack? And led four thousand soldiers to kill their way out of the Tatar tribe with only injuries and no deaths?"
"How is this possible?" Bu Wan was also slightly surprised in his heart.
But what followed was a kind of wild joy.
"This kid Zhu Ying is truly amazing; he has brought honor."
"This time the Duke of Song is here, having this battle result is also the merit of our Daning." Bu Wan thought excitedly.
Zhu Ying was now a general under his command; achieving such a great merit naturally also meant he had his own share of glory and credit.
"Zhu Ying."
"This child is truly extraordinary."
"Not only did the Grand General underestimate him, but we also underestimated him."
"Using four thousand cavalry to surprise attack a Tatar tribe, beheading ten thousand enemies and returning; even if he had lost a thousand people, it would be considered a great victory; he actually managed to lead everyone to kill their way out, without a single death."
"If it weren't for the fact that the battle report needs to be certified by the accompanying Battalion Commander, and forging it is a capital crime, I really wouldn't dare to believe it."
"Yes."
"Zhu Ying's bravery is not only in himself, but he is also good at commanding troops; the four thousand cavalry under his command could actually exert such combat power; although there is the fundamental reason that the Tatars were unprepared, more of it is Zhu Ying's ability to command troops."
The generals in the hall also sighed one after another.
Apparently.
They were also shocked by this battle report.
They were all top-tier battle generals of the Great Ming; raiding an enemy camp at night and killing their way through, they could also do it, but to do it without any casualties was simply impossible.
Of course.
All of this was fundamentally because of the effect brought by Zhu Ying's authority official seal, which increased the morale, combat power, and even stamina of the soldiers under Zhu Ying by sixty percent.
And Zhu Ying commanding the troops, their following Zhu Ying was even more invisibly connected.
Orders are executed and prohibitions are stopped; this is Zhu Ying's power to command troops.
"Did the Marquis of Nanxiong see why Zhu Ying split the troops into two routes?" Feng Sheng looked at Zhao Yong and asked.
"Zhu Ying is very clever."
"Perhaps in the eyes of the Tatars, if our Great Ming were to attack, it would be from their front, which is the southern tribe facing our Great Ming; if we circled to the back of their tribe, it would be putting ourselves in danger, with the risk of being surrounded and annihilated, so they were unprepared for the northern tribe and instead concentrated their troops in the south."
"And Zhu Ying first surprise-attacked their northern tribe, then had a Battalion Commander camp feint attack the south; this way, even if the Tatars got the news that the northern tribe was attacked, they wouldn't take it seriously, only thinking that the northern tribe was deliberately attracting them, while the south was our Great Ming's main attack, and they would concentrate their troops to defend the south even more; hence Zhu Ying's victory of beheading the enemy." Zhao Yong said with a smile.
Having been a general for many years.
The purpose of Zhu Ying's strategy was naturally seen at a glance.
Of course.
This was also a case of those involved being confused while the bystanders are clear.
"Hahaha."
"Not bad."
"This is exactly Zhu Ying's cleverness." Feng Sheng laughed loudly.
Apparently he was very satisfied with Zhu Ying's performance.
Afterward.
Feng Sheng looked at Bu Wan: "Prefect Bu, your Daning Prefecture has truly produced a capable general."
"To be able to receive such praise from the Duke, I suppose Zhu Ying will also be extremely happy when he hears it." Bu Wan immediately replied with a smile.
But the next moment.
Feng Sheng thought of something else, and his expression immediately sank.
"From Zhu Ying's military report, the military report previously received from the Battalion Commander who withdrew to Ansha County was not true, and he was even splashing dirty water on Zhu Ying." Feng Sheng said with a cold face.
Once these words fell.
Bu Wan's expression also changed.
Indeed.
Just now, after they saw the military report, they really believed it completely.
But Zhu Ying sent this military report.
Everything came to light.
Li Tao, disobedient to military orders, cowardly and fearing death.
