Following the order, more than 3,000 Ming army soldiers immediately changed into the Han army uniforms they had captured previously.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Dingbian led three thousand elites to start a surprise attack plan.

"Who is it, stop!"

Following an order, the soldiers and horses under Chen Youliang discovered a team approaching the camp.

This group of soldiers and horses were dressed in Han army uniforms, and they looked like our own at first glance, but the night was too dark and I couldn't see the flag clearly, so I didn't know which group of soldiers and horses they belonged to.

"Brother, we are here from Yuzhou to deliver baggage!" said one of the leading officers.

This person was Zhang Dingbian. He was about to approach the Han army's camp, but he encountered a Han army's hidden sentry, so he could only deal with it patiently.

"Yuzhou?"

"What kind of baggage is being transported?"

"What's the password?"

The Han soldiers secretly asked questions again and again, but they obviously relaxed their vigilance and slowly came closer.

"They are all salted fish and bacon from Yuzhou, used to labor the army!" Zhang Ding said with a smile.

Hearing that it was salted fish and bacon, the Han army sentry was immediately very happy. After approaching, he just wanted to see the salted fish and bacon, but suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from behind, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

Zhang Dingbian killed the guard with one blow and urged his men again and again.

There must be more than one hidden sentinel of the Han army, and they must seize the time.

With a flurry of preparations, the Ming soldiers led by Zhang Dingbian immediately prepared to break through the Han army camp wall.

boom!

Boom boom!

Following several loud noises in the dark night, the gunpowder placed by the Ming army under the wall of the Han camp made a loud noise.

The Han army's camp wall also turned into a pile of tattered sawdust and earth with the loud noise.

However, Zhang Dingbian did not rush to launch a surprise attack, but ordered another flying rocket to be launched.

Whizzing!

Boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

There was another loud noise, but this time it all broke out in the Han army camp.

The entire Han army camp fell into complete chaos.

When Zhang Dingbian saw that the time had come, he immediately stood up with a long gun in his hand, waved his hand towards the front, and shouted to the soldiers beside him:

"Brothers, the military merits of the feudal lord are just ahead, come with me to grab them!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As a shocking cry of killing came out, Chen Youliang's Han army immediately fell into panic.

"Oops, Your Majesty, thieves are attacking us secretly!"

"Protect Your Majesty quickly!"

Chen Youliang's Chinese army camp was also hit by a flying rocket and burst into flames. However, Chen Youliang was patrolling the camp outside and escaped this catastrophe.

However, this fright still made Chen Youliang's face turn pale.

"Light all the torches!"

Following Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack, the Han army camp was in panic. Everyone was cautious in defending and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

However, all this is Zhang Dingbian's strategy of seducing the east and attacking the west.

After a fierce beating and charge, Zhang Dingbian led his soldiers to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and pounced directly on the Han army's grain city in the rear.

Tunliang City, which had no military support, was quickly tricked by Zhang Dingbian into opening the city gate, and then fell into a sea of ​​fire.

Tens of thousands of Han troops' baggage and supplies were burned to the ground!

When it dawned the next day, Zhang Dingbian had already led his troops to retreat, leaving only the scorched-earth Tunliang City and tens of thousands of Han troops who were in disarray.

Faced with the situation of no food and grass, no matter how powerful Chen Youliang's methods are, there is nothing he can do.

"Alas! We can only retreat!"

Chen Youliang looked at the scorched earth all over the ground and said helplessly.

Zou Pusheng and others on the side were also at their wits' end.

Everyone knows that if we continue to fight without food and grass, we are seeking death and have no chance of winning.

However, once the troops retreat now, the Ming army will definitely take the opportunity to approach, and the land of Yuzhou will never be regained.

"Your Majesty, would you like to insist a little longer and ask Yuzhou and other places to quickly prepare for the shipment of grain and grass?" A general persuaded him still unwilling to give up.

Chen Youliang shook his head, "It's impossible. Zhu Yuanzhang will not give us the chance to wait until the food and grass are shipped!"

Now, of course Chen Youliang knew the consequences of retreating, but if he didn't retreat, there would really be no way out.

"Retreating to Xichuan and then taking advantage of the Kingdom of Abundance to seize Guanzhong to the north is Zhuge Liang's great plan for the world!" Prime Minister Zou Pusheng said.

Chen Youliang and others also knew that Zou Pusheng was trying to comfort everyone, but no one exposed it.

The retreat of the Han army was very straightforward and decisive. When Zhang Dingbian led 3,000 elite soldiers back to resume their duties, they did not expect that the Han army actually retreated.

Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack burned all the Han army's food and grass, making the Ming army invincible in the subsequent confrontation.

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a general!" Zhang Dingbian made great achievements, but he was neither arrogant nor arrogant.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction. He couldn't be more fond of the fierce general Zhang Dingbian discovered by his younger brother Zhu Han.

"It's just that although the enemy lost food and grass, they didn't lose much soldiers. Your Majesty should be careful of them jumping over the wall in a hurry!" Zhang Dingbian continued.

Regarding Zhang Dingbian's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Yes, send the order! The entire army will be on alert immediately!"

Everyone in the Ming army was rejoicing at the victory of the raid.

However, the Ming army had been on alert for several days. They only saw the Han army mobilizing frequently, but never saw the Han army attack.

After several times in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that something was wrong.

He quickly sent out soldiers and horses to test the attack, but he never expected...

At this time, the Han army was already in complete condition. There was not much resistance at all, and they immediately collapsed without a fight.

The Ming army easily captured the Han army's camp, but it was already an empty city.

Looking at the empty Han army camp, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a very regretful expression.

"Alas! What a pity!"

He glanced around Zhang Dingbian, Hu Dahai and other generals, pointed at a circle of Han army camps and said.

"If Qi Wu were here, he would definitely not let Chen Youliang retreat so easily!"

When the generals heard this, they all showed expressions of deep approval!

"The King of England is very resourceful and wise. If he were here, Chen Youliang would die without a burial place!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

Chen Youliang led the army to retreat.

This means that with the protection of the Three Gorges natural barrier, the Ming army naturally gave up the pursuit for the time being.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhang Dingbian to be the marshal of Hubei's marching capital to guard Hubei to prevent Chen Youliang's counterattack.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he personally sat in Hanyang and commanded the Ming army to continue southward to pacify the Hunan area.

Although there is no powerful force like Chen Youliang in the Hunan area, there are many local chieftains and barbarians. Especially in the western Hunan area, there are bandits and bandits everywhere. It is a key area for the suppression of bandits that Zhu Han emphasized.

"The thieves in Hunan are all poor people who were oppressed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, I love the people like my own sons. I will pardon all these people who were forced to go astray at once. They only need to report to the government within three months.

, all can be pardoned, and each person will receive twenty acres of permanent land!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This edict of mine will only be issued once. Three months later, there will be bandits who will destroy the mountains and caves, so that these stubborn people will have nothing to do."

Hiding everywhere!”

The "Edict to the People of Hunan" written by my elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, although it is full of vernacular, has a remarkable effect!

In just less than two months, more than half of the gangsters who had been causing harm to Hunan for decades were instantly reduced. The remaining die-hards were no match for the Ming Dynasty’s elite. It took more than a month to reach all parts of Hunan.

The squires and scholars helped the Ming army eliminate the remaining bandits.

The whole of Hunan suddenly became peaceful!

Officials everywhere also abide by their duties, and the province has turned from a chaotic province into a kind place where people never close their doors at night and don't pick up lost things.
