My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 249: Live for Chang Shiwan

"Your boy is going to die!"

Zhu Di dragged Li Jinglong behind a big tree and scolded him, "Have you forgotten your usual training? You must learn to hide, hide! How come you are even more reckless than me? Have you read so much books?"

Li Jinglong looked at Zhu Di, not angry, but smiling foolishly. Zhu Di immediately became furious.

"If anything happens to you, how am I going to explain to my cousin?"

"My dear nephew, fighting a war is not about showing off one's bravery, it relies on one's brain. Do you understand the brain?"

At this time, Zhu Di was like a teacher in the palace, chattering non-stop at Li Jinglong, and his saliva splashed on his face.

"You still call yourself the God of War of the Ming Dynasty. What did you tell me before? You threw it all out of your mind."

Li Jinglong laughed foolishly, "Fourth uncle, take a breath. I just remembered Li Yunlong in the movie "Drawing Sword" who said he would draw his sword whenever he met an enemy. I got so excited that I remembered everything you said!"

"Don't bring up 'Drawing Sword'. Li Yunlong is better at using his brain than you in a war!"

Zhu Di said unhappily. At this moment, there was a sound of breaking air in the sky. With a "swoosh", many arrows shot over. Only a few "thump thump thump" sounds were heard, and several arrows were immediately stuck in the trunk of the big tree where the two were hiding.

Looking at the shining arrows, Li Jinglong felt a little scared. Although the weapons in his hands were many levels superior to the enemy's cold weapons, cold weapons could still kill people!

"shooting!"

After the sound of breaking air disappeared, Zhu Di took advantage of the opportunity when the Annan soldiers were loading arrows and pulling the bowstrings, and shouted loudly.

The Ming army soldiers poked their guns out from their bunkers and fired countless bullets at the Annan soldiers.

Bullets rained down on the Annan army like a hail of bullets, beating the Annan soldiers so hard that they could not even raise their heads.

"Alternately cover each other and move forward!"

As many centurions issued orders, the Ming army soldiers jumped out of their bunkers. Some of them fired their guns and suppressed the enemy with firepower, while others took advantage of the gaps in fire cover and looked for opportunities to maneuver forward.

Li Jinglong and another Ming army soldier in the group fired their guns, suppressing the enemy archers and covering Zhu Di's advance.

When Zhu Di reached the next bunker, he quickly raised his gun and fired, and signaled Li Jinglong to move forward. The teams of three people covered each other and moved forward alternately, and the groups also covered each other and moved forward in the same way.

This three-three system is really the most magical tactic he has ever seen, Zhu Di thought to himself while protecting his comrades.

This is the ultimate use of cooperation between comrades-in-arms. Not only can it attack and suppress the enemy while moving, but it can also allow friendly forces to advance quickly.

It is truly as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as still as a mountain, and as unpredictable as the shadow!
The core of the Three-Three System is to eliminate the enemy in motion and achieve one's own military goals.

The person who invented this tactic is truly a military genius, comparable to Sun Wu in the world!

At this time, on the hillside of a high mountain behind the battlefield, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong were holding binoculars and carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.

As the commander-in-chief, Xu Da only needs to plan strategies, do a good job of logistics, and control the offensive rhythm on the battlefield. As for how to do it specifically, he will leave it to the group of guys under his command.

Only incompetent generals would interfere in the details of a battle. That shows they don't trust their officers and soldiers at all!
"Marshal, Xu Huizu and his men did a great job. It seems their usual training was not in vain. They grasped the rhythm of the attack very well, and had a strong awareness of mutual cover!" Li Wenzhong praised as he observed.

"This three-three system of tactics is also quite magical. It perfectly combines cover, concealment, and offense into one. It is simply tailor-made for defeating a larger force with a smaller one."

Xu Da sighed, "When we used the needle-firing gun before, we needed to concentrate our forces to maximize our firepower advantage. After we were equipped with the new gun, we adopted the three-three system. It seemed that we dispersed our forces, but in fact, the sustainability of our firepower was greatly improved. The dispersed forces also prevented the enemy from focusing fire on us."

"All of this is thanks to the generosity of this extraordinary man. Without his generous teaching, how could we be so leisurely and interested in watching the battle in the front so clearly from the rear?"

Li Wenzhong also had many feelings. In the past, when they were fighting, they could only sit in the general's tent and wait for the messenger to bring back the news before making the next decision. More often, they had to consider whether the enemy was deliberately setting up a false formation or was using some trickery.

Now, with binoculars and radios, they can grasp the real-time movements of the enemy in the rear and make the enemy nowhere to hide.

“Hahaha, this is what it means to truly plan your strategy from behind the scenes and win the battle from afar!”

Xu Da really enjoyed this feeling, the feeling of completely controlling the battlefield. Not only Xu Da was immersed in it, but Li Wenzhong also enjoyed it extremely.

It’s a pity that Tang He, who joined the last Northern Expedition, did not come this time. He had to prepare to station troops in Ryukyu. Ryukyu, which is in the direction of Japan, is now also a strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty.

There are also Lan Yu, Li Shanchang and others, who are now stationed in Liaodong and Goryeo areas, and are also looking for an opportunity to annihilate the Jianzhou Jurchens in one fell swoop.

Xu Da had a hunch that His Majesty's goal was not limited to the desert, Liaodong, Annan and Laos. He wanted to build an unprecedented Chinese Empire, an empire far more magnificent than the Mongol Empire!

"It's a pity that Chang Yuchun is no longer alive and can't see the earth-shaking changes in our Ming army!"

Li Wenzhong couldn't help but sigh, and Xu Da felt the same way, "Chang Shiwan died of a sudden illness in the camp when he was fighting against the Yuan army in the Central Plains. He was only in his forties at that time. What a pity, God is jealous of talents."

"If it weren't for the strange man, I, Old Xu, would probably be suffering from back carbuncle and in excruciating pain, and would not be far from death. My life was given by the strange man, and I think the strange man also wants me to live well and create eternal achievements for the Ming Dynasty!"

Xu Da slapped his thigh and said proudly: "Nephew Li, we must all live well and watch the future of the Ming Dynasty for Chang Shiwan!"

"Hahahaha, after I accomplish something great that will be remembered forever, I'll go find Chang Yuchun and brag about it!" Li Wenzhong also laughed heartily.

Different from the relaxed and heroic attitude of the other two, Ruan Duofang was about to collapse at this time. These damn Ming troops, are they only able to hide? Can't they fight honestly like men?

He watched as the Ming army moved quickly towards his base camp in a strange and bizarre formation, but his archers were almost unable to stop their advance, and the Ming army could continue to shoot his troops with those strange firearms while moving.

This battle really made Ruan Duofang feel like a mute swallowing bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

At this moment, he finally understood what kind of hellish experience his 150,000 troops had endured in the Mengsongbanla area!

"Cavalry, yes, where are my cavalry!"

In despair, Ruan Duofang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had thought of something.

The Ming army is getting closer and closer to us. At this time, as long as we send out cavalry to risk their lives and rush to them, everything can still be saved!
Although the Ming army's firearms are sharp, they are also afraid of close combat. Once they get close, there is no difference between firearms and swords and guns!
