Chapter 1599 Waiting for the wind to rise and the decisive battle
Zhou Zheng's words instantly boosted the morale of the entire army.
Everyone knew that they had no choice but to fight to the death.
In this case, why should they be afraid or worried, why should they be panicked or hesitant? There is only one thing they have to do, and that is to fight to the death.
Not only that, Zhou Zheng also shouted out what he was thinking in his heart, which was that once the city gates were opened and the two sides engaged in a decisive battle, he and Zhou Ping and others would rush to the front line.
If there is to be death in battle, it must begin with oneself.
Zhou Zheng has never just been leading by example, saying so.
The promise Zhou Zheng made in front of the entire army was finally about to become a reality when the decisive battle came.
At the same time, relevant decisive battle deployments and strategies are also being arranged in an orderly manner.
In Zhou Zheng's words, since it is a decisive battle, there is no need for any fancy strategies, only a fight to the death.
"Where is Zhou Ping?"
"exist!"
In the inner hall, as the deadline for the decisive battle was getting closer, Zhou Zheng's final order was finally issued.
"This orders you to lead 3,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Zhen Army and charge with me from the front of the formation!"
"Regardless of the cost, tear open a hole!"
This is Zhou Zheng’s first order!
"Order!"
Zhou Ping took a deep breath, and when he stood up, his eyes sparkled, without the slightest hesitation.
He knew better than anyone what this order meant. It meant that Zhou Zheng and Zhou Ping would become the most eye-catching targets in everyone's eyes. It meant that the 300,000-strong army would focus all their attention on them. It meant that they would truly become the most dazzling scene on the entire battlefield.
Even if these three thousand people are the elite among the elite, even if they are fully armed and fearless, once they rush into the enemy camp and are surrounded by three hundred thousand troops, their final fate will surely be death!
In other words, these three thousand people are the so-called death warriors, absolute death warriors!
Zhou Zheng's order shocked Xiao Guan, Xiao Mu and others. When they looked at each other, their eyes were full of fear and anxiety. Shi Sui, Yun Yun and others' faces changed even more. They wanted to stop him, but unfortunately, they felt the decisive determination in Zhou Zheng, so they finally shut up and said nothing.
Everyone knows that once Zhou Zheng makes a decision, no one can change it.
"Where is Xiao Guan!"
"The general is here!"
Even though he was in a wheelchair, there was no trace of fear in Xiao Guan's eyes. Instead, his fighting spirit became stronger.
He didn't know how many chances he would have to fight on the battlefield in his life, but he knew better than anyone that if he lost this battle, he would completely lose the chance to fight on the battlefield.
"I order you to lead five thousand Northern Army musketeers and follow closely behind!"
"Once I charge into the enemy camp and disrupt their phalanx, you will lead three thousand musketeers and two thousand archers to attack from both sides!"
When Zhou Zheng looked at Xiao Guan, there was a hint of seriousness and earnestness in his eyes.
With three thousand elite soldiers, it is already quite difficult to disrupt the enemy's camp, but Zhou Zheng still has enough courage to give it a try.
The real variable in a war lies in the moment of disrupting the enemy camp.
The musketeers formed by three thousand elite soldiers must charge forward regardless of the consequences at the first opportunity.
The power of muskets is extremely great. Three thousand muskets and two thousand archers firing at the same time can eliminate many of the so-called elite troops of the imperial court in the blink of an eye.
And he wants to maintain this momentum in one go.
Five thousand people took advantage of the fact that Zhou Zheng attracted the attention of 300,000 enemy troops and attacked with all their might.
If they can shoot and kill tens of thousands of the enemy's elite soldiers in the first moment, then they will be halfway successful!
"Yes!"
Xiao Guan naturally knew the importance of this mission. He took a deep breath and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"When the gunpowder and arrows are all used up, don't stop, keep charging from both sides!"
"Take advantage of the enemy's lack of reaction and display the killing spree completely."
Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent that kept whistling out.
An army of 300,000 is an extremely large group. If they were all truly elite, it would be almost impossible to defeat such a legion.
But Zhou Zheng still wanted to take a gamble!
I bet that these 300,000 troops are not as powerful as imagined.
I bet that these 300,000 troops are all put together by aristocratic families and lack the ability to coordinate operations!
He bet that he could use less than 10,000 elite troops to shake the entire battlefield in the first place.
"Where is Shi Sui?!"
"The general is here!"
"After the muskets disappear, I want you to disregard everything and lead 40,000 troops to charge head-on!"
Zhou Zheng slowly stood up. He didn't know how much combat effectiveness these 40,000 people could exert, but as long as these 40,000 people were fearless and brave, and when the enemy army was disrupted, he had reason to believe that these 40,000 people could show excellent combat effectiveness.
It is not impossible to mobilize 200,000 people with 40,000!
"Where is Yan Pan?!"
"The general is here!"
"I want you to lead 500 musketeers and always keep a distance of 150 meters from the elite troops of the imperial court!"
"You don't need to charge in, but use the point-shooting method!"
"Remember, the gunfire must not stop. It must last for at least an hour!"
Zhou Zheng's expression was quite solemn at this time.
What he wanted was to make the 300,000-strong imperial army mistakenly believe that Zhou Zheng had countless muskets in his hands.
We must give psychological support and encouragement to these 40,000 new troops stationed in the north.
So, with limited bullets, all he needs is point-fire!
Only in this way can this mentality be amplified to the maximum extent.
"Yes!"
Yan Pan did not dare to delay and immediately agreed.
"Where is Xiao Mu?!"
"The old minister is here!"
Xiao Mu walked out tremblingly and bowed to Zhou Zheng.
"I want you to close the city gates after the entire army is dispatched!"
As soon as Zhou Zheng said this, everyone felt their heads buzzing.
What does it mean to close the city gates? This is to tell everyone that they will not have any way to retreat, and they have no choice but to rush forward and fight to the death.
"I want you to stand on the city wall and beat the drum to cheer us on!"
"I obey your command, old minister!"
Xiao Mu's body was trembling, but he didn't dare to have any other opinions.
He knew that the 40,000 new Zhenbei troops were still watching, and he knew that the new Zhenbei troops would never let Xiao Mu lead them again.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Mu was still able to climb up the city wall and beat the drum, which in his opinion made him quite satisfied.
Regardless of winning or losing, the drumbeats never stop, which means that Xiao Mu is fighting side by side with Zhou Zheng in another way.
"If we lose the battle..."
"I want you to do one last thing."
Zhou Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and his voice trembled a little.
This decisive battle involves too much. It is not only a battle of life and death for himself, but also a battle of life and death for the prime minister and the great Zhou family.
No matter how much combat effectiveness the 300,000-strong army has, no matter what situation they show, Zhou Zheng knows that both sides will not give up easily.
This battle was even more crazy than the previous battles with the Yuan Dynasty and the Great Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, no matter how strong Zhou Zheng's determination to win is, he dare not underestimate the enemy at this time.
"If you lose the battle, burn the granary and evacuate with your women and family members."
"Go north to the Yuan Dynasty."
This was Zhou Zheng’s last order.
His eyes were somewhat complicated, and then fell on Yun Yun, Su Xun'er, Yun Xi and others.
These are the women he loves most. He, Zhou Zheng, can die, but they cannot die.
Not only them, but also the families of those soldiers who are charging at the front!
Their survival is the greatest encouragement for Zhou Zheng and others to charge into battle.
At this moment, Yun Yun and others felt their hearts suddenly stop, and then their breathing became rapid.
They were never afraid of death. They were even waiting for Zhou Zheng to make arrangements for them. Unfortunately, they never waited for that.
What they waited for was for themselves and others to escape at the last moment?
Do not!
Absolutely impossible!
Zhou Zheng is a hero, and they are not cowards.
However, just when Yun Yun and the others were about to speak, Xiao Mu took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I risk my life, I will live up to your expectations!"
As the King of Zhenbei and a veteran in the northern border, Xiao Mu knows better than anyone how heavy the burden is on his shoulders at this moment.
Of course he hoped that Zhou Zheng would win, but he knew even more how dangerous this battle was.
Xiao Mu's words made Yun Yun and others' expressions suddenly change, but they looked at each other and finally did not speak.
Yun Yun and others are smart people. They know better than anyone that before the decisive battle, military orders are as heavy as a mountain and military morale is the core!
No one can question Zhou Zheng's decision!
No one can disobey Zhou Zheng's orders!
Zhou Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after everything was arranged.
He knew that there was only one thing left to do!
Waiting for the trend, waiting for the decisive battle, waiting for the line between life and death!
