Chapter 422 Zhu Biao's Death?
"Hu Xiang, do you think this news is true or false?"
Not far from the handsome tent, Lu Ben looked extremely embarrassed. He glanced at Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Geng Bingwen and others who were gathered together in the distance.
These fools!
As a prince, now he wants to make friends with Zhu Silang.
how? I want to step into two boats and leave myself a way out.
Just wait, in the future, as long as the prince and Zhu Silang turn against each other, I will first suppress the group of disloyal and shameless people led by Lan Yu in the court!
Hu Weiyong was also observing everyone's reactions.
At this time, you can best see who is hostile to Zhu Silang.
Who remains neutral.
Who leaned towards Zhu Silang.
In the future, those who are hostile to Zhu Silang can be drawn into the anti-Yan alliance.
Neutral people can also win over to ensure that they do not fall to Zhu Silang.
Anyone who befriends Zhu Silang is the target that their anti-Yan alliance must attack and eliminate!
People without thought, he must worry about.
These things must be grasped and implemented from now on.
Otherwise, Zhu Silang who wants to eradicate such a monster is just talking nonsense!
Hearing this, he looked back and said, "It should be true..."
Lu Ben's face instantly became more embarrassed. He clenched his fists slightly and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Hu Xiang, Zhu Silang is deliberately trying to steal the crown prince's limelight! He is very likely to be shameless and come to fish and join the battle. The profit belongs to the crown prince. Credit!”
Will Zhu Silang do this?
Hu Weiyong frowned slightly and thought.
Although Lu Ben is mediocre, he is not stupid, but he hates Zhu Silang so much that his emotions affect his head.
Instinctively and subconsciously, Zhu Silang thought that Zhu Silang was taking the risk to defeat He Lin in order to steal the crown prince's limelight.
Based on this cognitive basis, it will naturally be judged that Zhu Silang is coming to fish in the sea to grab credit.
Is Zhu Silang such a person?
On this return to the court, 1,500 artillery guns were fired across the Qinhuai River, reviewed, and drilled. Zhu Silang indeed stole the show.
But this is not Zhu Silang's fault.
These arrangements were made by the imperial court.
It's just that the new army on the court's side is too stretched, so it gave Zhu Silang and his army's first town a chance to shine.
Watch after the northern expedition begins.
He led the army's first town as an example and tried to unite people by setting an example by attacking Zhangbei.
He also took the initiative to lead a partial division to Helin to attract Beiyuan troops and create opportunities for the crown prince's main force to win.
This king does not look like someone who would come to fish in the sea and compete with the prince for credit.
"Master Lu, regardless of whether Zhu Silang will come to take the credit or not, first of all, we must lay the foundation for victory as soon as possible."
Lu Ben couldn't bear to hear Zhu Silang's pertinent judgment.
He also didn't want to make Lu Ben unhappy.
If you want to take advantage of someone who is valuable to you, you must not do anything or say things that others don't like to hear.
This is also the reason why he joined Emperor Zhu's camp not early, but he quickly rose to prominence.
He and Yang Xian are actually the same kind of people.
However, that idiot Yang Xian immediately became arrogant and indulgent after he took up a high position, offending too many people and exposing too many flaws.
In fact, he almost made the same mistake as Yang Xian.
At first, Zhu Silang quickly became the emperor's favorite. The emperor asked Zhu Silang to participate in the imperial examination, and seemed to intend for Zhu Silang to enter the court as an official.
Give him a sense of crisis.
Li Shanchang, the old fox, reminded and knocked him before he tucked his tail.
Later, he was kicked out of the court by Zhu Silang.
Falling from the clouds to dust, the huge setback, and heartbreaking pain made him truly change.
Lan Yu, that vulgar Qiu Ba, has been saying all these years that Zhu Silang is half of his husband, and he deserves to be reinvented.
Speaking of which, his experience with Lan Yu was similar.
It’s just the proud blue jade of the past.
After realizing his own shortcomings and growing up, he actually forgot the shame Zhu Silang gave him!
Instead, flatter Zhu Silang?
snort!
Hu Weiyong snorted secretly, gathered his thoughts, and continued: "If we can't fight well and our side delays for too long, Zhu Silang will definitely join the war without hesitation after stabilizing the situation in Mongolia out of consideration for the overall interests of the Ming Dynasty!"
He asked himself that he knew Zhu Silang quite well.
On the surface, Zhu Silang is trying to maintain his relationship with the prince.
It's out of brotherhood.
But this is just an appearance.
Only people like him can see it more clearly.
Zhu Silang maintained the brotherhood with the prince, worked hard for it, compromised and gave in.
The essential purpose is that Zhu Silang is concerned about the interests of Ming Dynasty.
If one day, brotherhood conflicts with Ming's interests.
He was 100% sure.
Zhu Silang will definitely give up his brotherhood with Zhu Biao for what he considers the interests of Ming Dynasty.
"Therefore, we must establish a strategic advantage as soon as possible and tell Zhu Silang that the main force led by the prince can achieve the strategic goal of victory without him!"
Lu Ben was actually worried about Zhu Di's involvement in the Yuerhai war and wanted to launch an offensive as soon as possible to establish victory.
Although the starting point of Hu Weiyong's analysis is different from Lu Ben's.
But the result is the same.
Lu Ben smiled, then looked at the sun, and invited with a smile: "It's almost an hour, Hu Xiang, let's go to see the prince together."
…
Not far away, Lan Yu and Mu Ying watched Hu Weiyong, Lu Ben, Chang Mao and others gather together, chatting and laughing, and walked to the handsome tent.
Lan Yu frowned slightly, "Let's go, let's go to the handsome tent too."
They can all guess what Lu Ben and others are thinking about.
They also discussed whether they should suggest to the prince to find a way to send an order to Zhu Laosi to come to Yuerhai as soon as possible to participate in the strategic decisive battle.
With Zhu Laosi coming, the chances of winning will undoubtedly be greater.
But they also have concerns about this proposal.
First of all, it is unknown whether the news is true or false.
Perhaps Togu Si Timur just wanted them to wait.
Secondly, it is also the reason why they are most hesitant.
This battle is the battle for the prince to establish his authority!
Is Zhu Laosi's participation in order to build up Zhu Laosi's reputation? Or to build reputation for the prince?
Moreover, if Zhu Laosi is invited to participate, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
In the prince's family, those who hate Zhu Laosi will definitely seize this matter to make a fuss and plant a thorn in the side between Zhu Laosi and the prince.
at last.
They also have to consider the prince's feelings.
What would the prince think when he invited Zhu Laosi to participate in the strategic decisive battle of Yuerhai?
Could it be that they do not trust his ability to lead troops?
…
In the end, after careful consideration, they gave up the decision to invite Zhu Laosi to participate in the war.
Lan Yu and the others finally arrived at the commander's tent with very complicated emotions.
Seeing that everyone was here, Zhu Biao looked around and asked: "Are you calm down? Tell me what you think?"
"The general has something to say!"
Chang Mao stood up suddenly, clasped his fists and said loudly: "First of all, it is difficult to tell whether the news about Tuogu Si Timur is true or false. Did King Yan really win? Did he conquer Helin?"
"Even if what Togu Si Timur said is true, and there are 100,000 elites from Helin and Naha, we all know that it is impossible to solve the grassland problem as long as the upper layer of the grassland is not destroyed. Therefore, King Yan I am afraid it will take a long time to clear out Mongolia. The general believes that it is better to follow the previous rules: the west front fights the west front, and the east front fights the east front! "
"The heavy rain has already fallen, and the weather is going to be good. Our troops are fully capable of completing our strategic goals independently!"
Bei Yuan's fighting ability has been proven all the way.
As long as they fight openly and openly, even though they have a small number of troops, they still have an absolute advantage!
Especially the new army in the four towns is a big killer.
How can we fail!
"Prince, I will accompany you to Duke Zheng."
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
…
Zhu Cang and Zhu 㭎 sat together, watching Chang Mao finish his words, a group of generals stood up to invite a battle, and looked at each other.
These people clearly opposed Lao Si's participation in the strategic decisive battle in Yuerhai.
In this matter, it was not appropriate for them to express their opinions when it came to their eldest brother.
Just go with the flow.
Zhu Biao ignored Chang Mao and others and looked at Lan Yu. It was normal for Chang Mao and others to ask for a fight.
They didn't want the fourth child to get involved.
"Yongchang Hou, what about you? Why don't you speak? Do you have different opinions?"
Lan Yu was a little distracted. For some reason, the fierce attitude of Chang Mao and others made him feel uneasy.
After regaining consciousness, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Prince, what Chang Mao said makes sense. We really have no way to verify whether the news is true or false. Our main force must still be prepared to fight independently. However, I object to the behavior of Chang Mao and others." Arrogance and arrogance, any underestimation of the enemy is irresponsible to oneself..."
Tang He looked at Lan Yu and nodded imperceptibly.
Lan Yu fell behind, and Zhu Biao concluded with a smile: "I understand what you mean..."
Just be prepared to fight independently.
In fact, he thought so too.
Lan Yu mainly reminded him to beat Chang Mao and others and not let these people underestimate the enemy and be arrogant.
"Since we want to fight independently, let's discuss the next battle plan."
…
Afterwards, a group of people actively discussed and reached an agreement.
Take the initiative to leave the camp and look for battle.
However, the camp range should not exceed twenty miles.
The entire strategy formulation is both proactive and cautious.
…
That night.
News of the contact probing attack between the Beiyuan and Ming armies reached Zhang Yu's camp.
Zhang Yu is shirtless.
Zhang Qu is applying medicine to Zhang Yu's wound.
After hearing the scout's report.
Zheng Shilong touched his bald head and muttered: "This prince still has two brushes."
Zhang Yu smiled.
The most powerful elites of the Ming Dynasty and the most top-level military commanders were all under the command of Prince Zhu Biao.
It’s not surprising at all to achieve such a record.
In fact, Prince Zhu Biao can also take charge.
Just be a nominal commander and stay in Peiping.
Leave the war affairs entirely to Lao Si, the deputy commander.
This can greatly avoid the inclusion of too many political factors in the military.
Zhang Qu put a bandage on Zhang Yu and said with a smile: "We have won this battle. The main force will be more confident all the way. I am afraid that they will take the initiative to leave the camp soon to find a fight. Tuogusi Timur will detach us. Martial law fisher Haiwangting , these make people very uneasy..."
Zhang Yu picked up his clothes, stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out. He stood at the door, stared at the north, and said in a deep voice: "Spread out all the scouts in our army, and once again convey to the soldiers that the royal court is hostile to us." …”
Zhang Qu and Zheng Shilong looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming solemn.
Continue to strengthen the hostility of the soldiers below to the royal court.
The general is ready to join the battle.
I don’t expect Mentaiko to win either!
They only have 50,000 elite cavalry and infantry troops.
If the main force of the Ming army is really defeated, their reinforcements will be very dangerous!
…
The next day.
Zhu Biao's camp is thirty miles west.
Tuugusi Timur camp.
The sun is rising.
The entire grassland is green, and the soft wind blows the moist air towards our faces.
The scent of grass rushes into your nostrils.
Togu Si Timur was wearing a royal robe, standing outside the handsome tent, smelling the fragrance of green grass mixed with the soft wind, and the smile on his lips became stronger and stronger, "The wind is going to blow, Mentaiko, do you know?"
Ha ha……
As he spoke, he raised his head and laughed heartily.
He had already known the news that Prince Ming had sent troops to arrest old herdsmen nearby.
And all this was arranged by him.
This is his territory!
His family has been in business again for hundreds of years.
The territory directly under his royal court.
Just like Zhili in the Ming Dynasty!
Those old herdsmen who he deliberately left outside and did not migrate to the royal court were all left behind by him.
Those old herdsmen can predict rainy days for Mentaiko.
But it's 'unpredictable'. In this area, there will be strong winds after heavy rain!
It doesn't matter if there is no strong wind.
How could a war be completely dependent on the protection of Changshengtian?
Ta-ta-ta...
The rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted Togu Si Timur's thoughts.
The scout came at a gallop. After approaching, he dismounted and trotted closer. "Report to the Khan, the main force of the Ming army has left the camp!"
Hearing this, Togu Si Timur's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said cheerfully: "Instruct all the generals in the army to discuss matters in their tents!"
After a while, Arutai, Guilichi, Batu Polo and others arrived one after another.
Togu Si Timur said with a smile: "Our strategy has worked, and Prince Ming has left the camp."
As he spoke, he looked at Taiping and Ba Tuboluo, "You two will go immediately to the 150,000 elite troops of your Wala tribe. Taiping will lead 50,000 troops of his own. When we are fighting the main force of Ming Taizi, give this Khan the Ming army." The camp is over!”
He would never allow the Ming army to escape into the camp again.
"Tupolo, lead your tribe and the Mahamu tribe's 100,000 elite cavalry, and after the war breaks out, give Ben Khan a quick interlude between the Ming army and its camp, and act according to the opportunity!"
"Yes!" Taiping and Tupolo stood up and accepted the order, and left quickly without stopping.
Tuogu Si Timur watched the two people leave, withdrew his gaze and looked at the other generals, "On our side, we will set off according to the previously discussed tactical arrangements."
Wow!
"As you command!"
Woo woo woo...
In the camp, the sound of horns was heard constantly.
More than 400,000, nearly 500,000 yuan troops broke out of camp.
Among them are 20,000 fire gun soldiers!
But they are all short-barreled fire guns similar to those of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the elite created by the Northern Yuan Dynasty after learning from the Liaodong Campaign.
In fact, it was produced by Naha.
However, Nahachu retreated from Liaodong back to the grassland. He had no territory in the grassland and could not feed so many soldiers and horses.
This elite pure firearms infantry was valued by Togu Si Timur.
Naha pinched his nose and used 20,000 elite fire gun soldiers as bargaining chips in exchange for a piece of pasture to raise soldiers and feed the tribesmen.
This elite force, Toguth Timur, has never been put into use.
This battle is a strategic decisive battle!
Togu Si Timur finally took out this elite.
This is the only elite in the entire grassland that is equipped entirely with pure firearms!
…
"Report!"
Togu Si Timur left the camp for five miles, and the scout came again to report: "Report to the Khan, the main force of the Ming Prince, stopped advancing after fifteen miles of the camp."
snort!
Togu Si Timur frowned slightly and snorted, "Prince Meng is also very cautious!"
But it’s no use!
Then he ordered: "Face the Ming army and press forward!"
Woo woo woo...
Dong dong dong...
The sound of horns and the sound of war drums suddenly rang out.
…
"Report! Report! Report!"
On the side of the Ming army array, the scouts rushed towards the commander's flag and shouted: "The Yuan army is approaching us, the distance is less than ten miles!"
Woo woo woo...
Not long after the scout's report, Zhu Biao and others vaguely heard the sound of horns and war drums.
Zhu Biao's heart was surging, and he tightened his grip on the horse's reins slightly.
It lasted more than half a year.
This strategic decisive battle has finally arrived!
Turning his head, he looked at the array.
The new troops from the four towns were arrayed in the center.
At the rear of the new army are archers, sword and shield soldiers.
One hundred thousand elite cavalry were arranged on both sides of the array.
Ten thousand spearmen, sword and shield soldiers were left in the camp for defense.
"coming!"
Just when Zhu Biao was observing his own array, a sudden excitement sounded.
Zhu Biao's gaze shifted forward.
As far as the eye can see, a black array, at least twice their size, is rolling in from a distance.
He definitely doesn't have the talent to lead troops like the fourth child.
But the strength ratio between the two sides was two to one!
He is confident that he can win this battle!
Zhu Biao and others were paying close attention when the Beiyuan array stopped five miles away.
A group of Beiyuan soldiers rushed out two miles away with shovels, three miles apart, and started digging.
Lan Yu watched the mounds gradually taking shape and frowned slightly, "Prince, Beiyuan should be preparing to deploy artillery. Their artillery cannot use artillery carts, so they have to build mounds!"
"The general recommends adopting the artillery tactics in the new military drill!"
"Okay!" Zhu Biao nodded.
When the First Town of the Fourth Army attacked Zhangbeicheng, they adopted artillery bombardment tactics.
After the Battle of Zhangbei.
Lan Yu and others went to Army No. 1 Town to study.
The craftsmen of Army No. 1 Town were invited to modify their artillery carriages.
Moreover, Yang Dongxu also copied Yang Dongxu's artillery scale based on some "ballistics".
During the previous infantry and artillery coordination, the four artillery battalions had not learned to use the artillery rod proficiently, so it was useless.
Along the way, with the efforts of Lan Yu and Mu Ying, it is said that the four artillery battalions have barely mastered the use of the artillery scale.
boom!
The roar of a school shot suddenly sounded.
Zhu Biao gathered his thoughts and stared at the impact point of the cannonball in the distance.
It is far away from the Beiyuan artillery position.
…
Under the banner of Marshal Bei.
Togu Si Timur witnessed the Ming military academy shooting, frowned and urged: "Let our artillery set up artillery as soon as possible!"
They already knew the details of the battle with Lin.
Naturally, we know that the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, the first army stationed at the city, used artillery bombardment to destroy the artillery position of Naha.
He doesn't have many artillery here.
There are only fifty doors in total.
He hoped that the artillery would help the army attack.
Good Chen Chahar, the Ming Taizi's tactics of artillery and firecracker coordination had a huge impact on him!
The order was given.
Groups of Beiyuan troops struggled to carry heavy artillery pieces and rushed towards the artillery position.
boom!
The bullet fired by the Ming Military Academy fell on the artillery position.
Togu Si Timur's face was slightly dark.
Bang bang bang...
Soon, the sound of continuous shelling from more than a hundred artillery pieces rang out.
Iron bullets hit the artillery position one after another.
The mounds of earth collapsed.
The Beiyuan Army who rushed into the artillery position and set up artillery was hit by projectiles from time to time.
The Beiyuan Artillery Battalion did not fire a single shot. During the intensive attack, it dropped its artillery and retreated hastily.
"waste!"
Togu Si Timur cursed in anger.
Inhale silently again.
He knew very well that the quality of his own artillery was indeed inferior to the artillery of the new army of the Ming Dynasty, which was trained according to the new army drill of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.
But more importantly, their artillery was too lagging behind compared to the Ming army's artillery that could be fired from artillery carts.
"Prince Wan Sheng!"
"Prince Wan Sheng!"
…
After the victory of the artillery bombardment, the Ming army burst into cheers.
Morale immediately rose.
The smile on Zhu Biao's lips flashed away, and then he pursed his lips and tried to stay calm.
On the other hand, Togu Si Timur became a little angry and turned his head and ordered: "According to the original plan, prepare to attack!"
Woo woo woo...
The horn sounded.
More than 200,000 elite cavalry were arranged on the left and right wings.
The remaining 150,000 herdsmen cavalry are facing the new army in the four towns.
More than 300,000 cavalrymen slowly pressed forward.
Behind the 150,000 herdsmen cavalry, which were so densely packed that they completely blocked Daming's sight, 20,000 fire gun soldiers were quietly hiding behind them, approaching forward.
Togu Si Timur made a sudden move and completely suppressed all the troops.
The army array slowly spread out in the east-west direction, about twenty miles long.
"Send the order, the infantry and artillery of the new armies in the four towns will be coordinated. The archers will form the new army and assist the new army!"
"Send the order, the cavalry on the left and right wings come forward to meet..."
…
"Prince's order!"
"Prince's order!"
As Zhu Biao issued orders one after another, the Ming army faced them tit for tat.
The cavalry on the left and right wings were led by Tang He, Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen and other experienced veterans.
Even when faced with Beiyuan Jingqi twice their size, these veterans were still high-spirited and not afraid at all.
Ming Dynasty's elite cavalry has been tested in countless actual battles.
Fully capable of fighting one against two, or even one against three!
In the middle, the new armies of the four towns are led by Mu Ying and Lan Yu, the two young and middle-aged generals who are best at the new army in the imperial court.
Slowly form a fan shape, roll back to surround and press forward.
During the forward pressure, the new army began to transform into a five-line array in an orderly manner.
At the rear, 20,000 archers followed in two horizontal formations.
Following closely behind are the sword and shield soldiers.
Behind the sword and shield soldiers, more than 130 artillery pieces were arranged in three rows.
The artillery battalion commander stood on his horse, nervously staring at the Beiyuan cavalry in the distance, calculating the distance between the two sides.
When the Beiyuan cavalry came into range.
The artillery battalion leader shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"
Rumble...
"kill!"
Boom boom…
Amidst the shouts of killing, the sound of shelling rang out.
Dozens of projectiles with powerful kinetic energy hit the 100,000 herdsmen cavalry rushing towards them.
The projectiles plowed out passages of broken arms and limbs.
The herdsmen and cavalry were in fear. The rear team rushed forward, and chaos rolled forward.
Boom boom…
After the bombardment began, it continued one after another.
On the left and right wings, the cavalry from both sides had collided with each other.
With only one hundred thousand elite cavalry, the Ming Dynasty firmly blocked Bei Yuan's more than 200,000 elite cavalry.
Tang He, Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen and other veteran generals took the lead and were unparalleled in their bravery, even leading their troops to overwhelm the opponent.
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the cavalry had blocked the Beiyuan Jingqi.
Immediately, the attention shifted to the new army.
"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"
When the 150,000 herdsmen cavalry advanced eighty steps, the generals at all levels of the first line shouted at the top of their lungs.
Bang bang bang...
The sound of frying beans was heard.
The fire is flickering and the smoke is filling...
The dense barrage washed away, and the herdsman cavalry rushing at the front was instantly shaved off a layer.
Bang bang bang...
The second horizontal team, the third horizontal team...
Shooting one after another.
In just eighty steps, hundreds of thousands of herdsmen and cavalrymen had to pay a heavy price for every step forward.
The moment the shots from the fifth line fell, the 20,000 archers began to fire.
This is the new tactic summarized by Lan Yu and Mu Ying.
Combined with the new army of the court, the training is not as good as the first regiment of the army. Although there are five horizontal teams and five rounds of volleys, the first horizontal team is not enough to seamlessly connect when the five rounds of volleys are completed.
At this time, the archers' intensive shooting can effectively slow down the enemy's speed.
During this period, the artillery positions in the rear also fired shells like crazy into the chaotic array of the Northern Yuan herdsmen cavalry, delaying the Northern Yuan cavalry in the rear.
Bang bang bang...
When the archers' second round of intensive shooting, the volley shooting finally started again.
But it was in a short interval.
The Northern Yuan herdsmen cavalry rushed from eighty steps to sixty steps.
Zhu Biao pursed his lips tightly and squeezed the reins.
This tactic worked.
But this time, there were too many cannon fodders on the Northern Yuan side!
Hundreds of thousands!
The first round of volleys and intensive shooting killed at least 10,000 or 20,000 cannon fodders of the enemy.
But if this round of volleys, intensive shooting, and artillery bombardment cannot defeat this group of cannon fodder, the opponent will rush to the new army array!
Hu Weiyong noticed Zhu Biao's nervousness. Amid the rumbling of cannons and volleys, he smiled and comforted him: "Prince, let alone a group of herdsmen cavalry, even if they are truly elite, they can't hold on if they lose 30% or 40%. "
The elite of the Ming Dynasty would collapse if they lost 30% or 40%!
Not to mention the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
He had never seen an army that could maintain its combat effectiveness after losing more than 30% or 40%.
No!
Zhu Biao nodded slightly.
Lan Yu and Mu Ying obviously realized that this was a critical moment.
While firing volleys, archers also desperately drew their bows and shot.
The herdsmen cavalry, bearing huge casualties, rushed to about 50 steps. The herdsmen cavalry on both wings could no longer hold on and began to flee to the left and right wings first.
The cavalry behind was still drawing their bows and shooting forward while rushing.
The cavalry in front fled, and dense bullets instantly hit their heads.
Soon, the remaining 80,000 to 90,000 herdsmen cavalry finally began to collapse completely.
They rushed to the left and right wings and killed the cavalry on the left and right wings of the Ming Dynasty.
Tang He and others urgently divided their troops to block the rushing herdsmen cavalry, ensuring that the herdsmen cavalry could not harass the new army of the four towns. Suddenly, the pressure doubled!
In the rear, a pure firearms square formation composed of 20,000 people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty appeared.
There were only about 80 steps away from the new army of the four towns.
Under the banner of the Northern Marshal.
A smug sneer flashed across Toghon Temur's lips.
The main role of the herdsmen cavalry is to send their own musketeers out!
"Kill!"
The 20,000 Northern Yuan musketeers shouted, and under the leadership of the general, they held muskets in both hands and rushed forward quickly, rushing towards the new army of the four towns.
When Zhu Biao and others saw the 20,000 Northern Yuan musketeers.
Their faces changed suddenly.
At this moment, the fifth horizontal team had just completed the second round of volleys.
The first horizontal team had not yet completed loading.
"Archers! Shoot! Shoot! Stop the Northern Yuan army!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Reload!"
The archer general shouted, and the generals at all levels of the Four Towns New Army shouted desperately in a state of tension.
The sudden change made the Four Towns New Army a little panicked, and the generals' anxious and impatient orders exacerbated the panic of the soldiers.
Bang!
A soldier raised his gun, and the gun sword stuffed with bullets was still inserted in the fire gun. The moment the explosion sounded, the barrel exploded and screams were heard.
Such panic scenes were staged in the array in an instant.
Lan Yu looked at it and frowned.
Bang bang bang...
In this short moment, 20,000 Northern Yuan fire gun soldiers, facing the 20,000 archers shooting, the first batch had rushed to the range of 50 steps and launched a volley of fire at the first time.
The first horizontal column of the Four Towns New Army fell down in an instant.
Zhu Biao gritted his teeth!
The damage caused to the new army by the volleys of the herdsmen cavalry during the attack was not so great!
Bang, bang, bang...
Finally, the second horizontal team finished loading and started firing in volleys.
Both sides were musketeers.
Within fifty steps, both the long and short barrels were very powerful.
Armor and chain mail could not stop the projectiles at all.
The two new armies on both sides fell down in rows after firing at such a short distance.
The soldiers who finished shooting had no time to reload.
The new army of the Ming army inserted their guns and swords and rushed forward.
The new army of the Northern Yuan threw away their muskets and drew their swords and rushed forward.
The two new armies on both sides, the musketeers in the rear were still firing in volleys.
The chaotic symphony of death was staged in just thirty or forty steps.
Some people were hit by the enemy's projectiles.
Some people were hit by their own projectiles.
After the volleys of both sides were over, the cold weapons finally collided completely.
Under the banner of the Northern Marshal.
Toghon Temur was all smiles, "Beat the drums to urge the order!"
He exchanged 20,000 fire gun soldiers for 20,000 new troops of the Ming army, it was worth it!
Even though, for this, he also lost nearly 50,000 herdsmen cavalry, but it was still worth it.
He believed that at this moment, the Ming prince must be heartbroken!
Boom boom boom...
The sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out.
Toghon Temur watched the Ming army's artillery fire extend to the two wings, and his cavalry artillery fire, and his side had a slight advantage.
But as the Ming army artillery fire, the cavalry obviously began to get confused.
He couldn't help but frown.
...
The artillery fire continued.
Under the banner of the Great Ming.
Zhu Biao watched the 20,000 Northern Yuan fire gun soldiers disappear piece by piece under the siege of his new army and sword and shield soldiers.
He was relieved.
His face was very bad.
Although there was no statistics.
Just a rough visual estimate.
In a short moment, his new army lost at least nearly 20,000.
It was visible to the naked eye.
More than 40,000 new troops, nearly half were gone!
Such a heavy loss.
First of all, the Northern Yuan fire gun soldiers were hidden too well!
They were hidden among tens of thousands of herdsmen cavalry.
Secondly, the new army of the four towns also exposed many problems.
The speed of loading ammunition was not fast enough, at least 40% less than the first town of the army!
They did not have the bravery of the first town of the army.
When attacking Zhangbei.
They witnessed with their own eyes that the first town of the army maintained a uniform speed and alternately fired in volleys within 70 steps.
Chang Mao and others ridiculed the first town of the army as a dull "queueing and waiting to die".
Facts have proved that it is too important to enforce discipline in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire!
"Prince." Seeing Zhu Biao immersed in pain, Hu Weiyong whispered: "You should send a message to Yongchang Hou to concentrate superior forces and choose the left or right wing Northern Yuan cavalry to attack..."
This is Zhu Silang's tactics.
When Zhu Silang commanded the battle, he seemed to dislike the average use of forces.
He always liked to entangle one part of the enemy with a part of the force.
Concentrate superior forces and attack another part of the enemy with a butcher's knife.
Not to mention, according to his observation, this tactic is very powerful.
Zhu Biao came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "Send a message to Lan Yu, the new army, archers, sword and shield soldiers..."
After observing the left and right wings and finding that his right wing had the advantage, he said very quickly: "Reinforce the right wing!"
Hu Weiyong was imitating Lao Si.
He had also carefully considered Lao Si's tactics of concentrating superior forces and killing chickens with a butcher's knife.
His advantage on the right wing was the greatest, and the right-wing Northern Yuan army was the easiest to be defeated!
...
At the same time.
Thirty miles south of the battlefield.
Zhang Yu led 50,000 cavalry and infantry to stand in formation, waiting for the battlefield situation to change.
If the Ming army did not show signs of defeat.
He would not act rashly.
His surprise troops had to be kept at the most critical time.
"Report! Report! Report!"
The scout who was trying to get the news rushed over on horseback, shouting: "Toghon Temur used tens of thousands of herdsmen cavalry as a cost to cover 20,000 fire gun soldiers and approached the new army of the Ming army within 80 steps..."
When Zhang Yu heard that Zhu Biao's four-town new army had lost half, he couldn't help but frown.
"How does this Ming prince fight? Such a trump card, let him fight to a mess!" Zheng Shilong shouted loudly.
Zhang Yu stared, lowered his head, and whispered, "If it was the fourth prince, I don't think it would be so miserable!"
Zhang Yu shook his head.
If the new army of the four towns of the Ming Dynasty was as elite as the first town of the old fourth army, it would certainly not be so miserable.
In fact, as early as before, when the new army of the four towns was ambushed by the Northern Yuan Dynasty and lost 5,000 people.
He realized that the new army of the four towns was not solid.
As expected.
Now, Toghon Temur used some tricks to magnify the shortcomings of the new army of the four towns.
This is the lack of solid foundation!
This is true for an army.
This is true for a person!
If the foundation is not solid, when encountering difficulties or emergencies, the shortcomings and weaknesses that are not obvious on weekdays will always be magnified and exposed.
Ta-ta-ta...
"Report! Report! Report! The Ming army concentrated the new army, archers, sword and shield soldiers, and artillery to attack the right wing Northern Yuan cavalry. The right wing of the Northern Yuan can't hold on!"
...
Another message sent by the scout made Zhang Yu smile a little.
Then he smiled and said, "It is inevitable to suffer heavy losses, but we should be able to win this battle."
Isn't this the classic tactic of Lao Si concentrating superior forces and killing chickens with a sledgehammer?
The main force of the Ming army is not confused.
There is no classic tactic of rejecting Lao Si because of hostility to Lao Si.
Ta-ta-ta...
"Report! Report! Report..."
At this moment, a hurried and hurried voice came from the west.
Zhang Yu's face changed slightly.
The scouts in the west were sent by him to the Ming army camp.
Because Toghon Temur imposed martial law on Buir Lake.
He was worried about a trick.
After thinking it over, he felt that if Toghon Temur cheated, he would most likely attack the Ming army camp.
It seemed that he had guessed it right.
The scout approached with a pale face and said in panic: "General, 150,000 elite troops, 150,000 elite troops of the Wala tribe..."
Wala tribe!
Zhang Yu's face changed suddenly.
Wasn't the Wala tribe on the western front?
He was fooled!
"Taiping led 50,000 troops to attack the Ming army camp, and the Ming army has retreated to the second circle of fences... Batu Boluo led 100,000 elite troops and is moving to the rear of the Ming army on the battlefield!"
Zhang Qu and Zheng Shilong's faces all changed.
At this point, Zhang Yu also understood everything.
What seven major hatreds, hatred of stealing his wife.
All of them were mists deliberately released by Toghon Temur!
On the surface, he concentrated superior forces to deal with the fourth brother, but in fact he secretly transferred them back to help Buyuerhai.
Originally, he had always thought that Toghon Temur was just stretching the battle line, clearing the fields, harassing and consuming the Ming army.
After the Ming army arrived at Buyuerhai, the strength and morale of the army declined, and then 300,000 elite troops, in cooperation with 200,000 herdsmen cavalry, fought a strategic decisive battle.
Unexpectedly, Toghon Temur actually transferred all 150,000 elite troops of the Wala tribe back to Buyuerhai.
Vowed to annihilate the main force of the commander of the crown prince Zhu Biao!
"General, what should we do now?" Zheng Shilong's face was solemn, "The main force of the Ming army is now fighting, what if they are attacked in the battle..."
Even if they are not attacked in the battle.
After the battle, the Ming army suffered heavy losses and was very tired, and was hit by 100,000 elite Wala tribe...
The consequences are unimaginable!
Moreover, the elite Wala tribe in Western Mongolia is more combat-savvy than Eastern Mongolia!
Because the royal court was in Eastern Mongolia, Toghon Temur was worried about causing chaos in Eastern Mongolia when he was raising Gu, so he controlled the intensity of raising Gu.
It was different in Western Mongolia.
Many old nobles in power in Western Mongolia opposed Toghon Temur's succession.
During the period of raising Gu, Toghon Temur especially indulged the fighting of the Wala tribe.
He used the three heroes of the Wala tribe to clean up the old nobles of Western Mongolia for him!
This led to the elite of the Wala tribe in Western Mongolia standing out, with stronger combat effectiveness!
Zhang Yu shook his head.
In fact, he didn't worry about the life and death of Prince Ming.
If he couldn't save him, he wouldn't save him!
The death of Prince Ming should be good for Lao Si, right?
It's a pity that Lao Si didn't become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
But he must save Prince Ming now!
The Wala tribe was transferred from Lao Si's western line to Buyuerhai.
Even if Lao Si couldn't be blamed for this.
But he knew too well that once Prince Ming got into trouble.
Countless people in the Ming Dynasty who are hostile to Lao Si will definitely put the blame on Lao Si.
Especially the prince's faction!
Don't look at it, when Lao Si sent troops to Helin, many people in the prince's faction gloated over the misfortune.
Once the prince gets into trouble.
These people will never reflect on their gloating at that time, and they were also fooled at that time, and will only put all the blame and responsibility on Lao Si.
"Zhang Qu!" Zhang Yu suddenly gathered his thoughts and shouted.
"Here!"
"You, lead 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 mounted infantry, and rush to the Ming army camp immediately. No matter how much it costs, you must repel Taiping's 50,000 elite Wala tribes and defend the camp for me!"
This is a retreat, and it must not be lost!
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Zhang Qu rode away to count the troops.
Zhang Yu looked at Zheng Shilong: "Shilong, you return to our tribe immediately, arm all the people who can ride horses for me, and then go north to approach here!"
Zheng Shilong did not accept the order immediately. He approached Zhang Yu and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "General, the Wala tribe appeared in Buyuer Lake. Did the Fourth Prince deliberately let them go? We can't ruin the Fourth Prince's good deeds..."
"Shut up!"
Zhang Yu interrupted Zheng Shilong angrily.
Zheng Shilong suspected that the Fourth Prince deliberately let them go and wanted to kill the Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Seeking the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, just now, for a moment, he also thought about it.
However, he rejected it in an instant.
First of all, the Fourth Prince is not such a person.
Secondly, the Fourth Prince would never cruelly sacrifice 200,000 elite soldiers for a throne!
This is the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty court!
There are hundreds of thousands of families behind them!
The Fourth Prince is indifferent.
But the Fourth Prince is a person with a very clear bottom line.
He would never do such a thing.
"You don't know my fourth brother at all, go and execute the order!"
"Yes!"
Zheng Shilong loudly received the order, and rode away with dozens of personal soldiers.
Zhang Yu watched Zheng Shilong leave, retracted his gaze, and ordered: "Order the army, follow me to defeat Toghon Temur, and completely free our family from the threat of Toghon Temur's killing!"
Woo woo woo...
"Kill!"
Amid the loud shouts of killing, Zhang Yu led 30,000 well-trained elite cavalry to the battlefield.
On the way, Zhang Yu's face was full of worry.
Even Zheng Shilong, a rough man, suspected the fourth brother.
This battle is over.
The fourth brother's troubles are still to come!
The fourth brother really shouldn't have come back to help!
There are too many disgusting ungrateful people in this world!
Huh...Huh...
Zhang Yu felt the wind blowing from the north, and his face gradually became solemn.
It's really raining on a leaking roof.
The wind is blowing!
Is the sky going to kill Zhu Biao?
Left and right, Lao Si will be in trouble and wronged. If I don't rescue him and let Zhu Biao die in battle, wouldn't it be better to put an end to it all?
