Chapter 389: The Final Battle of the Land of Abundance (4)
It was less than 300 li from Jiading Prefecture to Chengdu Prefecture, while it was about 300 li from Zixian to Longquanyi, and there were still dozens of li from Longquanyi to Chengdu. Zhu Gaoxu could easily judge that if Xue Lu had a clear goal, he would definitely arrive in Chengdu earlier than him.
The composition of the two armies was not much different, mainly composed of the princes' guards and the garrison troops. Although the armies in different places were slightly different, the training and marching methods were very similar... Xue Lu had river shipping, while Zhu Gaoxu could only rely on vehicles and mules to transport baggage, which was a disadvantage in marching. Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu had to let Xue Lu go to Chengdu first, otherwise the continuous rapid march would inevitably drag down the combat effectiveness of the battle formation.
Qu Neng's vanguard cavalry of 8,000 is already a large force as a mobile attack force, but it is impossible to accomp

On the eleventh day of the eleventh lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu led his troops from Longquanyi to the south and arrived at Taipingchang that afternoon.The vanguard led the soldiers to requisition many local houses, and gave five coins to each house to show the attitude of the Han army. After Zhu Gaoxu's main force arrived, they stationed on the spot.Today, the marching route of the Han army is along the western foot of the Longquan Mountains, heading south and west; Huayang County is also southwest of Longquanyi. So after a day of marching, the distance from the Han army to Huayang County has hardly changed, still only about 50 miles!There have been many frictions between the two armies and the cavalry scouts...When the Han army arrived at Longquanyi yesterday morning, Xue Lu's army was already in Huayang County. And until Zhu Gaoxu received the last report from the scouts today, there was no movement in the government army camp in Huayang County. It se

I slept very well last night. When Zhu Gaoxu got up, the sun had already risen.During breakfast, a scout reported: Before dawn, a large number of government troops had left Huayang County and marched straight south! Zhu Gaoxu did not react at all after hearing this, but just ordered all troops to continue resting in Taiping Field.Soon, Qu Neng and other generals came to the main hall of the tile-roofed house to pay their respects. Zhu Gaoxu asked the soldiers to collect the dishes and chopsticks on the square table.Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to let the generals stop their formalities and said, "We have been traveling from Luzhou to Longquanyi for nearly half a month, and the soldiers are exhausted. Most of the soldiers took a break in Longquanyi the day before yesterday, but I am afraid they are not fully recovered yet, so we have to rest for a while. But we can't rest in Longquanyi, we can only come to Taipingchang, do you know why?"Qu Neng pondered

The sky above the Sichuan Provincial Administration Office always seemed to be covered with clouds; it was gray and gloomy, and it was very difficult to see the clear and transparent scenery of Yunnan, where the sky was the sky and the clouds were the clouds. However, at this moment, the sun at the zenith was still trying to shine through the clouds.Zhu Gaoxu and his entourage had already returned to Taiping Square on horseback. The atmosphere immediately became lively, with soldiers everywhere and groups of cavalry going in and out of the square. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu rarely spoke, and when he met military generals on the road who saluted, he mostly nodded or made a gesture in response.He looked thoughtful, observing the soldiers under his command, thinking so much that he didn't know where he was, but he must be near Taiping Field.As soon as he turned a corner, Zhu Gaoxu heard the sound of strings. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a big

On the morning of November 15 of the fifth lunar month in the fifth year of Yongle, the sky was still foggy and the round moon was still hanging over the plain in the west and south, as if indicating the direction of the government troops.There were torches everywhere near Taiping Square, like stars. Dogs barking from far and near mixed with the voices of people and horses, making it extremely noisy.Zhu Gaoxu was dressed in leather, chain mail, and lamellar armor, wrapped like a tall iron dumpling, with a shiny wide-brimmed iron helmet on his head. His shoulder scarf and cloak were made of white linen, and at first glance, he looked no different from the crowd of men surrounding him.The pine torches illuminated the surroundings, and black smoke filled the air in the firelight.At this time, a general came up quickly, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the government army camp has set out!"After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu looked back and

Across from the pine forest slope, the forest fire was still burning, and the billowing black smoke was very scary, like an evil black dragon in the sky. But the fire should not reach Sajinba, as the vegetation here was very sparse.The government troops were attacking from the large gap south of Sajinba. Countless government troops, infantry and cavalry, advanced from the west of the gap to the east, then turned northeast and attacked the Han army along the wide and flat terrain.The enemy did not go straight to the northeast and Liu Dagen's side outside the gap because there was a steep slope here. If the troops climbed up from here, how could they fight when they were almost exhausted?Liu Dagen's Yin Desheng detachment marched up this large slope. They went straight down and faced the front flank of the government troops' attacking troops.It was not tiring to walk downhill, but the artillery fire just now was too frequent. Liu Dagen held the woode

The smoke from burning pine branches and exploding gunpowder in the distance was carried to the sky above Sajin Dam in the breeze, like a slowly drifting mist.The sound of people and horses neighing seemed to echo in the sky. Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse to the south of Sajinba, watching the scene in the distance. Other people riding horses beside him included Qu Neng, Wei Da, Liu Ying, and Hou Hai. Other large groups of people and horses stood on the ground, holding the reins of their war horses in their hands, waiting quietly."We will win..." A faint shout came from the wind.But just as there is no guaranteed win in a casino, there is no guaranteed win in a war. If there was, it would definitely not be like this, because Xue Lu could have chosen not to fight this battle in the first place.It's like buying a lottery ticket. Even if the probability is only one in ten thousand, some people have won. So until the last moment of the battle, neither Zhu Ga

Zhu Gaoxu led the cavalry to evacuate Nanhuokou, and the infantry also escorted the prisoners and took away the wounded soldiers from both sides and retreated one mile one by one. The fighting subsided a little.The hazy sun was already in the west. The civil and military officials of Shengjin Temple sent people to the back mountain to ask the baggage team to deliver food. Under the arrangement of the central army, the baggage soldiers and servants came down in an orderly manner with food boxes and water buckets. Each hundred-household team had about eight or nine to more than ten miscellaneous soldiers, waiting on the soldiers of each team.Zhu Gaoxu and his generals sat cross-legged beside their war horses, eating the same thing: a ball of rice on a cabbage leaf, with a few pickles and a small piece of boiled Sichuan bacon on top; the soldiers took out spoons from their waist pockets, wiped them clean and ate, and everyone carried a lot of small tools, such as k

At the hour of You, on the curved slope west of Sajin Dam, a crowd of people rolled out from the embankment like an endless flood. The last rays of the setting sun shone on countless helmets and weapons, shining like the ripples on the sea.The drums of war were beating, and the movement of tens of thousands of people was a rumbling sound. The shouting waves rose and fell repeatedly like waves in the river, hitting the vast mountains and rivers. The wild grass and fruit trees on the big slope were being swallowed up little by little by the sea of people.The large formation of the government troops in the distance was also slowly receding, and was about two miles away. Only half of the setting sun was above the horizon, and the ground was in a contrast of light and dark, with shadows already appearing in places blocked by hills.The scene on earth was like a terrifying landslide, slow but difficult to change and resist.Countless arrays advanced togeth
