Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Zhu Cang and Zhu Yu looked at each other, and also looked at Zhu Biao quietly.

The content sent back by the troops to report the victory was very detailed.

Contains various details of how the emperor's brothers conquered Yinshan.

Although, the final decision to conquer Yinshan was the result of Lao Si leading the First Association to attack.

But no one can ignore the remarkable highlights in the brothers' attack on Yinshan.

Take the lead!

Widen the front.

The firepower struck back, breaking the Yuan army's geographical advantage in one fell swoop, and the two sides entangled the Yuan army with their teeth.

For the first town and the first association of the army, the elite infantry of Wu Yuan Army were completely wiped out, which created favorable conditions for Lao Si to gather 10,000 prisoners.

Under the guidance of Tan Yuan and others, as well as the advice of Third Uncle.

The progress of the brothers is very obvious and their performance is quite impressive.

This is just the beginning.

Next, follow Lao Si to watch and learn, and at the same time, you can get guidance from Lao Si through words and deeds.

This battle is over.

Just because the brothers have grown up in leading troops by following the fourth brother, I'm afraid they and their eldest brother will be far behind, right?

…

Zhu Biao noticed that as the discussion gradually subsided, eyes came one after another.

Get up...

moment.

In the meeting hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "The emperor's brothers are very malleable and have not hindered the fourth brother. Now I can rest assured. According to the original plan, one of the troops will be left behind to garrison Zhangbeicheng, and the remaining troops will immediately clean up and chase the vanguard... "

‘The prince is anxious? ’

While the generals were in a state of excitement, they secretly speculated on Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Wow!

As soon as Zhu Biao finished speaking, all the generals stood up one after another, "Yes!"

After receiving the order, leave quickly.

Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben walked behind.

Lu Ben gritted his teeth and said: "The terrain at the mouth of the Three Gorges is so difficult and dangerous that Zhu Silang broke through in two days..."

Hu Weiyong predicted.

Zhu Silanghui was violently blocked at the entrance of the Three Gorges, and the Pianshihui suffered heavy losses.

What about now?

The entire Battle of Three Gorges Pass only took two days!

The princes also performed admirably!

It’s just that Zhu Silang is in the limelight.

This person is really capable.

But now, even those princes with mediocre qualifications, just because they followed Zhu Silang, were ahead of the prince and made meritorious deeds.

It was really hard for him to imagine.

What a sensation this battle will cause when the news of this battle is returned to Jinling.

Zhu Silang's victory was a victory for many people in the Ming Dynasty. Although they were happy, they were not surprised.

But the princes followed Zhu Silang in their first battle, and their performance was remarkable.

He could imagine that Emperor Zhu was dancing with joy after hearing the news and fell even more in love with Zhu Silang!

…

"It seems that these Mongols who invaded our Central Plains land and overthrew the Song Dynasty are really getting worse with each generation!"

When Hu Weiyong heard this conclusion, he glanced at Lu Ben.

Zhu Silang is awesome.

The fault cannot be attributed to Bei Yuan not being good enough.

According to the victory report of the partial division, the soldiers reported.

The commanding ability of Mahamu, the leading general of the Bei Yuan Dynasty at Sanxiakou, was not weak.

Even if the kings widened the front area and diluted the linear strength of the Yuan army, they combined it with the firepower tactics proposed by Zhu Silang.

Break the Northern Yuan Army's terrain advantage.

Forming a jagged chaos.

That night, Ruowu Zhu Silang suddenly rushed over.

There is a high probability that it will be impossible to conquer Yinshan Mountain.

At most, it is just mass destruction of the Yuan army.

The mouth of the Three Gorges was captured in two days.

In the final analysis, it was caused by Zhu Silang's attack after setting off from Zhangbei.

Who would have thought that Zhu Silang led an infantry army and rode a carriage for a round trip of 600 miles.

Infantry + carriage...

This is because Zhu Silang's carriages are not enough.

If Zhu Silang could spare seven or eight hundred carriages.

The carriage carries all the soldiers of the Army's First Town, so there is no need for a sneak attack.

Rush directly to the back of the Three Gorges mouth and launch a fierce attack with the army's first town. If they advance from the front and back of the Three Gorges mouth, the Yuan army's losses and casualties will be even greater.

Even the more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry hidden in the rolling terrain formed by the Mongolian plateau to the east of the Three Gorges mouth may be swallowed up by Zhu Silang!

Based on existing information.

He reviewed.

The reason why Zhu Silang didn't fight like this.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

In terms of baggage protection, Zhu Silang had very few troops along the way.

The civilian husbands who went out of the fortress this time were assigned by the court on a one-to-one basis.

A soldier is accompanied by a civilian husband.

But Zhu Silang diverted his troops and only took away 80,000 civilians.

There are also few power storage vehicles of various types.

Therefore, anyone who despises the Yuan army because Zhu Silang easily conquered the Three Gorges Entrance will definitely suffer a big loss!

Where is the prince?

Did the prince look down upon the Yuan army?

"Hu Xiang!"

Hu Weiyong turned his head when he heard the sound, and held his hands in his hands with a smile, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Ben looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said in a low voice: "Next, our main force will contact the Yuan army. Prime Minister Hu must help the prince make plans and fight some beautiful battles!"

It’s too much to be overwhelmed by Zhu Silang’s limelight.

It’s even worse to be under the spotlight of the princes!

Hu Weiyong smiled and nodded.

He hopes more than anyone else that the prince will shine in this battle!

The prince's light completely covered Zhu Silang's light in the Ming Dynasty!

…

Two more days later.

Zhu Biao led Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong to catch up with the vanguard, escorted by more than a thousand personal soldiers.

Forward camp.

"Meet the prince!"

After Zhu Biao entered the house in a dusty state, he sat down at the commander's seat. Looking at Tang He, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others, he immediately asked: "Have you been in contact with the Yuan army?"

Lan Yu stood up across the queue and reported: "Prince, there were more than a dozen small-scale scout contacts, and both sides fought, with each other winning or losing."

"At this moment, Togu Si Timur's army is in the center of Haochen Chahar. Haochen Chahar's tribal herdsmen and militia are constantly gathering towards Togu Si Timur. At the same time, the tribes are withdrawing from the battlefield. It should be I want to strengthen the walls and clear the country..."

Zhu Biao listened carefully.

After Lan Yu finished introducing the current situation, he nodded and said with a smile: "I want to tell you some good news. It took only two days for the partial division to conquer the mouth of the Three Gorges. The Yuan Army's 15,000 infantry troops were defeated. Lao Si and the others , nearly 10,000 prisoners alone were taken!”

hiss!

There was a gasp.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying's eyes widened.

Lan Yu hurriedly asked: "Prince, how did King Yan conquer the mouth of the Three Gorges?"

He knew the topography of the Three Gorges mouth.

Although he is confident that Zhu Laosi can conquer the Three Gorges Pass.

But I never thought that Zhu Laosi would conquer it in just two days!

How did Zhu Laosi fight this battle?

Could it be that the army is relying on the army to attack and rush forward again?

Isn't this too awesome?

"There are two highlights in this battle." Zhu Biao looked at the generals' surprised looks and said with a smile: "One, the first association of the first town of the Fourth Army, riding in a carriage, rushing for six hundred miles..."

Tang He nodded slightly.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this.

Put the two legs of the infantry on wheels and launch a thunderous attack?

This Zhu Laosi's mind is really flexible.

…

"The second highlight is that King Zhou and others used a wide range of front and rear, and used firepower to attack in reverse..."

Those present were all battle-hardened men.

Even Chang Mao heard the entire battle of the Three Gorges Pass and understood why the Three Gorges Pass could be conquered in two days.

Zhu Biao gave everyone time to digest the news.

After a while.

Bang bang...

He clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"The Battle of Three Gorges Pass has proved that King Zhou and others will not become a burden to King Yan. The partial division is fully capable of shouldering the important task of attracting the main force of the Yuan army."

"On our main line, we can safely and boldly actively search for Togu Si Timur and launch an attack."

"Now, solitary order!"

Tang He frowned slightly and looked at Zhu Biao who stood up in high spirits from the corner of his eye.

‘The Crown Prince is going to give the order directly without consulting everyone? ’

Everyone stood up hurriedly and ventriloquized uneasily at the same time.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other and said nothing for the time being.

Even if you have something to say, it's not the right time to say it.

After all, the prince had clearly stated that he was going to give the order.

What to say now?

Stop the prince?

Zhu Biao saw everyone's expressions, smiled confidently, and ordered: "Lanyu, Muying!"

"The general is here!"

Zhu Biao looked at the two men and said, "You two will lead the new army of the East Palace Guards, the first town, the second town, and the third town of Jingying. They will set off with the lone horse. The vanguard will be changed to the middle route army, commanded by General Fu Youde. The middle route army will We must be thirty miles away from the four new armies in the front..."

Zhu Biao continued to issue orders.

However, the expressions of Tang He, Lan Yu and others have changed.

The prince's plan is actually not complicated.

Use the new troops in the four towns as bait.

The middle road is thirty miles away from the New Army in Pioneer Four Town.

The main force in the rear is at least sixty miles away from the vanguard.

If the Yuan army couldn't help but launch an attack.

Except for the 20,000 cavalry in the middle who could arrive within an hour, the vanguard had no reinforcements.

The prince is confident that he can defeat the Yuan army with the help of the new army from the four towns and 20,000 cavalry?

Everyone looked at Tang He, Lan Yu and Mu Ying secretly.

At this moment, these three people were the only ones who were barely qualified to make the prince change his mind.

As if Tang He didn't see the tense eyes of the generals, he clasped his fists and accepted the order: "I obey the order!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Lan Yu and Mu Ying also loudly accepted orders.

Immediately, the forwards began to divide their troops.

The new armies of the four towns, led by Lan Yu and Mu Ying, followed Zhu Biao.

The generals of the middle army commanded by Fu Youde watched Zhu Biao leading his troops away, and they all worried and complained.

"The prince took such an adventure, and the Marquis of Zhongshan, Yongchang, and Xiping didn't stop him!"

"Is the prince too trusting and too eager?"

"The prince is so eager, not because of certain people! He is so ignorant!"

…

"Shut up!"

Fu Youde turned his head and shouted angrily.

The generals were silent for a moment.

Fu Youde glanced at the generals, and the deep worry in his eyes flashed away.

From the beginning of this battle, there were too many hidden dangers within the Ming army.

Now, the prince has changed from his previous stability and determination.

How worrying!

…

Fu Youde forcibly restrained his thoughts and solemnly ordered: "Please cheer me up! Go back and restrain your team, and wait for the departure order at any time. If I hear again that someone disturbs the morale of the army and alienates the feelings of Pao Ze, I will stop." It’s strange that this general is ruthless!”

…

After saying this, Fu Youde turned his sleeves and walked into the camp with a dark face.

The moment he turned around, he glanced worriedly in the direction Zhu Biao left.

…

The rear of the forward army.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong accompanied them on horseback.

Lu Ben watched Tang He, Mu Ying, and Lan Yu riding their horses in the direction of Zhu Biao.

With a worried look on his face, he whispered: "Hu Xiang, is the prince too anxious?"

He hoped to see Zhu Silang put too much pressure on the prince, and the prince would start to fight back.

Not like this now.

Even if you want to prove yourself, you don't have to be so reckless, right?

…

Hu Weiyong did not answer Lu Ben.

He stared at Zhu Biao's back, ventriloquizing, 'The King of Zhou and others have achieved remarkable results. Has the prince lost his strategic focus? If so, this prince is no more than mediocre! ’

Before.

He felt that Zhu Biao had more strategic determination than Cao Pi of Cao Wei.

But now...

Pity.

Cao Wei did not have Zhu Silang.

And Zhu Ming has a Zhu Silang.

Otherwise, Hu Weiyong could also be like Sima Yi!

…

"Second uncle, what do you want to ask, please ask?" Zhu Biao smiled when he saw that Tang and the three of them were hesitant to speak.

Tang He smiled and pretended to be curious: "Does the prince already have a strategy to defeat the Yuan army even if it attacks? As an old guy like me, my heart feels like a cat's claw scratching my heart. I hope the prince can satisfy my curiosity." Heart."

Although Lan Yu and Mu Ying were worried.

But after hearing what Tang He said, he couldn't help but laugh.

Lan Yu was even more emotional.

These few sentences seem simple.

He didn't expect that, so to speak.

That is to say, the prince's face is guaranteed.

He also sent out inquiries tactfully.

These leaders in the military.

The second brother is slippery and good at interpersonal relationships.

Third brother is honest.

His brother-in-law Chang Yuchun is brave!

Each has its own advantages.

Zhu Biao smiled, nodded and said: "If we encounter the Yuan army, our new army in the four towns will consist of more than 50,000 people and 8,000 cavalry..."

The new army of the imperial court.

The cavalry logo is slightly different from the Army First Town.

There are enough war horses.

The cavalry mark is not a small mark like the army's first town, with more than three hundred per battalion and a total of one thousand and two.

But it’s a big bid for more than 2,000 people.

This was also proposed by Zhu Di.

The main enemy of the imperial army has been the surrounding nomads for a long time.

The small cavalry mark of one thousand and two is inappropriate.

Moreover, unlike Dongfan, the imperial court lacked war horses.

If you have the ability, deploy a cavalry standard of two thousand people.

"More than 40,000 guns, four artillery battalions, a total of 144 artillery pieces..."

As he spoke, Zhu Biao turned around, pointed at the marching soldiers, and said energetically: "With such a strong army, even if the Yuan Dynasty attacks, we have nothing to fear. Four artillery battalions are arranged at the rear and divided into three sections. Take the lead." Artillery attack, infantry artillery soldiers, follow the artillery point, three-stage shooting charge..."

Artillery bombardment, covering the infantry gunners' platoon charge?

What tactic is this?

There is no such tactic in Zhu Laosi's new military drill!

Lan Yu asked politely: "Prince, what kind of tactic is this?"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Infantry and artillery, infantry and cavalry coordination!"

Infantry and artillery, infantry and cavalry coordination?

Tang He and the three of them were wondering which military book Zhu Biao's tactics came from.

Is it feasible.

pity.

They did not find similar tactics in previous military books.

Mu Ying said cautiously: "Prince, our soldiers have never trained infantry and artillery coordination before..."

Zhu Biao looked at the three of them and smiled, "I know what you want to ask. This is not in the previous military books. It is a new tactic proposed by the fourth child. It is similar to a firepower attack."

"I think this tactic will be very effective in large-scale field battles, so I will use our four-town army to verify it..."

Tang He and the other three heard that the coordination of infantry and artillery and cavalry and artillery came from Zhu Di.

I feel relieved a lot.

They all started to think about it.

This tactic is not feasible.

The two armies clashed in the field.

When the Yuan army's cavalry rushed over, 144 artillery pieces took the lead in launching three rounds of fire attacks at a distance of three to four miles.

Even if you can't kill too many Yuan Army cavalry.

It can definitely severely damage the morale of the Yuan army.

The Yuan army's horses will be frightened.

The formation will be chaotic.

The speed of the charge will inevitably be affected.

The new troops from the four towns and eight thousand cavalry were scattered on both flanks of the infantry to cover them.

The infantry's more than 40,000 muskets fired a barrage of 40,000 projectiles in a short period of time...

Tang and the three of them repeatedly described and deduced the situation in their minds.

Zhu Biao asked with a smile: "How about it? Is it feasible?"

Tang and the three of them came to their senses and nodded.

The specific actual combat situation is still unknown.

But deduction simulation is feasible.

Moreover, judging from the prince's expression, this battle must be fought!

Since the simulation is feasible, instead of opposing it and making the prince unhappy, nothing will change.

It’s better to seize the time and arrange it.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu cupped her fists and said: "Prince, Mu Ying and I will teach the generals the idea of ​​infantry and artillery coordination. Although it is too late for the soldiers to train, we can at least let the soldiers think more about it in private and simulate it more. "

Zhu Biao nodded.

Lan Yu and Mu Ying rode away.

Go farther.

The worry in Lan Yu's eyes flashed away, and she suddenly asked: "Mu Ying, how do you think the prince knew about Zhu Lao's idea of ​​the four-step artillery collaboration?"

Mu Ying's face flashed with strangeness, and she smiled: "The fourth child must have told the prince."

After that, without stopping, he seemed to be very taboo about discussing this issue, shook the reins of his horse, and left quickly.

Why!

Lan Yu looked at Mu Ying's back and sighed silently.

It was definitely not Zhu Laosi who told the prince.

Zhu Laosi didn't even tell them.

I am afraid that even the first town of the Army may not have practiced this tactic.

Not tested yet.

Zhu Laosi's character is not one to promote rashly.

Or, there is someone from the prince beside Zhu Laosi!

Or, the hero knows about it and tells the prince!

The latter is fine.

I'm afraid it's the former.

The prince has placed someone next to Zhu Laosi!

You can still hear this kind of forward thinking!

And now, the prince wants to put this advanced idea of ​​infantry and artillery coordination into actual combat in advance.

What will happen after Zhu Laosi finds out?

angry?

It's okay to be angry.

He wanted to know even more why the prince did this.

Just to win?

Or by showing off the coordination of infantry and artillery, make Zhu Laosi suspicious and suspicious of everyone around him?

Do you want to drive a wedge between Zhu Laosi and his generals?

If that's the case...

He didn't dare to dig deeper.

This is also the reason why Mu Ying is taboo about talking about this matter!

'I hope it is Xiongying who tells the prince, even if...'

Even if it’s really Zhu Laosi!

He didn't even hope that the prince would place someone next to Zhu Laosi.

Also use exposure.

Make Zhu Laosi suspicious!

Such a prince, such methods, such calculations against Zhu Laosi, it is terrible!

The future is even more worrying!

'No, no, no, I must have been worrying too much. It must have been Xiongying who told the prince! ’

Lan Yu shook her head.

Forcefully suppress the messy thoughts in my heart.

…

One day after Zhu Biao sent troops.

Fifty miles away.

Take off Gusi Timur's sweat tent.

Arutai returned from the Three Gorges Pass and reported in detail how the Three Gorges Pass was lost...

"Khan, this is the whole process. Mahamu has mobilized some tribal herdsmen..."

Zhang Yu held his hands tightly, suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart.

The infantry put on wheels!

In a few days, he ran six hundred miles!

Ha ha……

The nickname they gave Gui Laosi was so appropriate.

Behind Zhang Yu.

Zheng Shilong and Zhang Qu looked at each other.

All of them slandered, "Fortunately, brothers like the Fourth Prince are not like mud that cannot stand up to the wall. They led troops for the first time, and under the guidance of Zhu Laosi and others, they actually fought so well!" ’

Compared to the happiness of the three of them.

Togu Si Timur and others looked very ugly.

The high hopes were placed on blocking the attack at the mouth of the Three Gorges, but the price was even higher than the Battle of Zhangbei!

"Naha Chu, Mahamu, what are your plans for the future?"

Togu Si Timur asked gloomily, interrupting everyone's thoughts, and everyone looked at Arutai.

"Khan, after this battle, the King of Liaoyang no longer wants to waste his elite and Zhu Silang on the field battle..."

We can't even win at the mouth of the Three Gorges.

If the elite fight against the wild, it may be even harder to defeat the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"The infantry under the command of the King of Liaoyang have rushed to Helin in advance to prepare for defense, while the King of Liaoyang commanded the elite cavalry, constantly recruiting tribal herdsmen and militia along the way, and using the herdsmen and militia to continuously harass Zhu Silang's partial divisions, consuming their troops, combat effectiveness, and Morale, the elite are waiting for work with Lin Yiyi..."

Togu Si Timur nodded.

Extend the front.

Consume its troops.

Then Zai Helin dragged Zhu Silang away.

Helin's city wall is not comparable to Zhang Bei's.

Although it is not as majestic as most of the Central Plains.

But it's not weak either.

The city wall is four feet high!

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty imitated Zhang Bei and decided the world in one battle. It was absolutely impossible!

There is also manpower and material support from the city.

In the heart of the grassland.

Holding back the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty won't be a problem.

It was an established strategy.

After they encircled and annihilated Zhu Biao's main force in Yuerhai.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was in Helin, thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty.

Don’t even think about going back!

In fact, they followed a similar strategy along the way.

It attracted the Ming army to attack along the way, lengthened the front line, and forced the Ming army to have difficulties in logistical supplies.

Continuous harassment along the way consumed the Ming army's strength and combat effectiveness.

This style of play has been the magic weapon for the grassland nomads to win against the Central Plains dynasty a long time ago.

It's just that the Mongols have never used it.

Now I have to...

"Report!"

A sudden rushing sound outside the sweat tent interrupted Togu Si Timur's thoughts.

A scout rushed in, caressed his chest, knelt on one knee, and panted: "Report to the Khan, twenty miles away, traces of the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Biao's new army led by the four towns of the Ming Dynasty were found..."

Togu Si Timur asked: "There are only four new Ming armies in the towns? Are there no traces of other Ming armies?"

"No, my subordinates and others searched around thirty miles away from the Ming Army and the New Army. We only found that there was a Ming Army of tens of thousands behind the New Army in Zhubiao Fourth Town!"

Togu Si Timur looked around at everyone.

Everyone frowned in thought.

He understood that he was frightened by the winning streak of the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Zhu Biao is leading the new army in the four towns, he dares to approach them proactively.

The generals instinctively suspected that this was a trap.

"Explore again!"

That night.

Zhu Biao's new army camped fifteen miles away from the Khan tent.

The scouts sent by Thugustimur returned.

The main force of the Ming army's rear route was still seventy miles away.

It's at least a day's journey away from Zhu Biao's forward.

The leaders of the Northern Yuan tribes were immediately furious.

"Khan! Mentaizhu Zhu Biao is deliberately humiliating us!"

"If he wants to fight, let's fight!"

"Yes, let's fight! He, Zhu Biao, is not the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di!"

…

The leaders of various ministries were angered by Zhu Biao's actions.

The more than 50,000 people in the vanguard were only fifteen miles away from them.

It was like the tip of a knife at their throats.

There are tens of thousands of people in the middle, although they are only a few hours away from the forward.

But it was only tens of thousands of people.

There were 300,000 elites following the Khan's campaign.

There are also the 100,000 herdsmen militia assembled by Chen Chahar!

Arriving in the middle, there was nothing they could do.

By the time the main force from the back of the Ming Dynasty arrives, they will have already swallowed up Zhu Biao's forward!

Tuogu Si Timur glanced at Zhang Yu who had remained silent.

Zhang Yu noticed it immediately, stood up, and asked for orders: "Khan, I am willing to lead 20,000 elites under my command as the main force. Please ask the Khan to give me another 30,000 elites. I will capture Prince Zhu Biao for the Khan in advance." Come to the sweat tent, let Zhu Biao wear sheepskin, and salute the Khan!"

Ha ha……

The generals immediately laughed heartily.

The two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were treated in this way by the Emperor of Jin.

When they conquered the Southern Song Dynasty in the Yuan Dynasty.

The little emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was more brave than his ancestors.

He actually jumped off a cliff.

Tuo Gusi Timur examines Zhang Yu.

Suddenly he raised his hand and pressed it, and said with a smile: "I know your loyalty and bravery, don't be anxious, I will give you a chance."

"Khan!" Zhang Yu said eagerly: "The entire grassland has always suspected me, especially the King of Liaoyang. I hope Khan will give me a chance to prove it!"

Thugus Tamerlane never fully trusted him.

He doesn't fight.

Only Togu Si Timur could really ask him to fight Zhu Biao.

The more he fights.

The more Togu Si Timur dared not to appoint him!

Worried that he has ulterior motives!

He didn't want to fight this battle.

Let him judge.

Prince Zhu Biao was certain of victory with the help of the new troops in the four towns.

Either the fourth consecutive victory has messed up the mentality and lost strategic focus.

For the former, fighting the Ming army would mean death.

The latter will be stained with Zhu Biao's blood.

Neither is advisable.

The best way to avoid this battle is to find a way to avoid it.

As Zhang Yu guessed.

Zhang Yu's performance made Tuogu Si Timur dare not appoint Zhang Yu.

Togu Si Timur pretended to be angry and said: "I believe in you, and I don't need you to prove your loyalty in this way. You don't doubt your employees when you employ them! Loyalty that needs to be proved is not loyalty! Sit down!"

Zhang Yu's acting skills are amazing.

The eyes turned red for a moment.

Plop!

He knelt down and choked with sobs: "I thank the Khan. On behalf of all the Han officials who followed the imperial court and retreated to the grassland, I thank the Khan for his trust!"

Everyone in the sweat tent looked at Zhang Yu.

Ahem...

Togu Si Timur coughed lightly, and after comforting Zhang Yuhao, he looked at his general, "Batu Bayar!"

"exist!"

Captain Batu Bayar stood up suddenly.

Togu Si Timur solemnly ordered: "The Ming Prince Zhu Biao insults us like this, then we will retaliate. I order you to be the general, leading 20,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 herdsmen cavalry. Tomorrow, you will be the vanguard and the foundation." Khan rushes into battle!"

…

Fifty thousand cavalry versus fifty thousand infantry.

Is the cavalry more advantageous?

When 50,000 cavalry penetrated the new army in the four towns of the Ming Dynasty.

He led his whole army to press forward.

All in one go.

Eat the new troops from the four towns of the Ming Dynasty first!

Let this Ming prince know that he is not the fourth Ming prince Zhu Silang!

"I will obey your orders!"

…

The next day.

It's approaching noon.

The new troops in the four towns commanded by Zhu Biao stood in formation five miles apart from the 50,000 Beiyuan cavalry.

Under the handsome banner.

Zhu Biaoduan sat on the horse.

Looking at the Beiyuan Iron Cavalry in the distance.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of rapid horse hooves came.

Everyone looked at the sound...

Several cavalry scouts came running wildly with injuries. After approaching the commander's flag, they reined in their horses and reported, "Prince, thirty miles behind the Yuan army's cavalry, all the elites of the Northern Yuan army are gathering and ready!"

"I know." Zhu Biao nodded.

Turning his head, he looked at the people behind him.

After hearing the news, Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu left the feudal king's guard to their commanders and came with a small number of soldiers.

Zhu Biao looked at it.

Zhu 㭎 said cautiously: "Brother, if not, please first send an order to the army in the middle to speed up and rush here."

They already know.

Infantry and artillery coordination was proposed by Lao Si.

But even the No. 1 Army Town in Laosi did not conduct any drills.

The elder brother hastily applied it directly to actual combat.

Although based on the actual situation of the new army in the four towns, Er Shu, Lan Yu and others made fine adjustments to Lao Si's infantry and artillery coordination tactics.

But after all, I haven’t practiced at all!

Too risky!

Brother, are you too impatient?

All the generals looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "No, Lan Yu, blow the trumpet and give the order. Tell the generals at all levels that they must stand at the front. According to the military regulations of the first town of the army, when the battle begins, the general who retreats first will be killed regardless of the army!" When approaching battle, the army will not care who retreats first, and the rear team will kill the front team!"

Lan Yu knew it was irreversible, so she clasped her fists and accepted the order: "Yes!"

Lan Yu led the senior generals of the four towns and rode away from Shuaiqi shortly after.

Woo woo woo...

The horn sounded.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of footsteps came immediately.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Wang Zuo and other commanders stood at the forefront of their respective armies on horseback, leading the new troops from the four towns and slowly approaching the Yuan army's cavalry in the distance.

In the process of approaching.

The new troops in the four towns gradually dispersed and formed five horizontal formations.

The East Palace Guards led the new army in the first town of Jingying in the middle.

The second and third towns of Jingying gradually accelerated their speed while advancing on both wings, and the entire array formed a semicircular arc.

In the New Army Field War written by Zhu Di, it was repeatedly emphasized that the effect of crossfire should be achieved.

The semicircle formation is to achieve crossfire.

There are two flags on each side of the second town and the third town, accompanied by four thousand cavalry.

Behind the five horizontal formations.

There were four artillery battalions and 144 artillery pieces. The soldiers unloaded their horses and pushed the artillery carts, and the three horizontal teams quickly followed up.

Gunpowder and projectiles have been loaded.

The moment the artillery carriage stops, the artillery attack can be launched.

Lu Ben and Hu Weiyong stayed far to the left of Shuai Qi.

Lu Ben glanced slightly out of the corner of his eye and saw that Zhu Biao's fingers that were clenching the horse's reins were turning white. He whispered nervously, "Hu Xiang, can Zhu Silang's infantry and artillery coordination work? If the prince makes a mistake, I will make Zhu Silang pay for it with his life!"

Hu Weiyong glanced at Lu Ben.

He looked at Zhu Biao secretly again.

Zhu Silang's method of synchronizing infantry and artillery.

The prince didn't even know how he got it.

How to pursue Zhu Silang?

However, this incident encouraged him!

The prince learned about the infantry and artillery coordination only because Zhu Silang or Zhu Xiongying informed him.

Or maybe the prince has placed someone next to Zhu Silang!

If the latter.

But it’s so interesting!

He hoped it was the latter!

far away.

In front of Beiyuan Iron Cavalry.

Togus Timur ordered: "Batu Bayar, how to fight this battle is up to you!"

"As you command!"

Tuugustimur led his own soldiers and quickly evacuated from the formation with Zhang Yu, Arutai, Guilichi and others.

Batu Bayar pointed to the left and right wings: "Fifteen thousand captains on each side of the left and right wings will lead the attack!"

He had only fifty thousand cavalry at hand.

There are only 20,000 elites.

Thirty thousand tribal herdsmen cavalry.

These 30,000 cavalrymen did not understand cavalry formations, so they were coerced among his 20,000 elites, which actually affected the formations.

Might as well split it up.

Let these 30,000 people attack the two wings.

Fifteen thousand versus four thousand cavalry of the Ming army.

As long as the four thousand cavalry of the Ming army are defeated, there will be a chance to disrupt the Ming army's array from the flanks.

Soon, the Beiyuan cavalry was ready.

"kill!"

Batu Bayar suddenly raised his scimitar and shouted.

Rumble…

Fifty thousand iron cavalry rolled up billowing dust waves, like a black current, and rushed towards the Ming army array.

Woo woo woo...

The horn sounded.

The Ming army array stopped instantly.

Lan Yu turned around and shouted: "Send the order to the second and third towns on the left and right, and follow the new army drill code to defend the flanks!"

Dozens of cavalry messengers rushed away.

The rear artillery battalion has stopped on the spot.

Guan Dai stared at Beiyuan Iron Cavalry nervously, silently calculating the distance.

The left and right wings, after receiving the order.

Five horizontal lines.

The two horizontal formations at the rear issued hoarse orders one after another and quickly turned back.

The two horizontal formations that turned back walked in unison and quickly raised their fire cannons on the left and right wings, aiming outward at the left and right wings.

Rumble…

After the infantry took over the defense on the left and right wings.

According to the drill code written by Zhu Di, the cavalry, led by Biao Tong, bravely charged towards the 15,000 herdsmen cavalry.

The cavalry from both sides collided first.

Shouts of killing, coming towards you, rolling dust waves, roaring cavalry charges...

Hearing and vision stimulate the new army officers and soldiers.

boom!

In the panic, sporadic gunfire rang out from the first line.

Lan Yu's face turned dark instantly.

The First Army Town had no experience of cavalry charging into battle.

He didn't know how the Army's No. 1 town would perform in the face of cavalry charges.

But the new army of the imperial court is not qualified!

The Beiyuan cavalry opposite was more than three miles away from the main army!

"Supervise the battle team! Go to the formation and supervise the battle! Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"

He understands better than anyone.

At this moment, we must not be merciful.

"Let it go! Let it go! Let it go!"

Behind the infantry array, a row of artillery battalion pipes roared at the top of their lungs.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang...

The bombardment began first.

In the first row, more than forty projectiles roared across the five-row array in front.

The shell hit the ground.

Ricochet went on a rampage and rushed into the charging Beiyuan Cavalry.

As far as the eye can see.

In the dense array of Beiyuan cavalry, dozens of holes appeared instantly.

The projectiles instantly tore into pieces the colliding war horses or Beiyuan soldiers.

Bang bang bang...

The first platoon began nervously loading ammunition.

Shelling attacks from the second and third rows came one after another.

Under the banner of Fang Shuai.

Zhu Biao looked at the shelling. Although the Beiyuan cavalry was in chaos, they still rushed forward without fear of death. His face was pale, his lips tightened, and he shouted: "Come forward with the handsome flag!"

This battle has already begun.

If the fourth child's infantry and artillery work together to stretch the crotch.

He can only boost morale by pressing forward with his handsome flag!

"Prince, no!"

Lu Ben turned over and dismounted, holding the reins of Zhu Biao's horse.

Zhu Biao raised his whip and said angrily: "Let go!"

Lu Ben cried and begged: "Prince, a rich man will not sit down in court! Even if you kill me, I will not let go!"

This place is two miles away from the battlefield ahead.

Once something goes wrong.

The prince's personal soldiers are all cavalry, and they can also protect the prince as he escapes.

Isn't it just the new army in the four towns, fifty or sixty thousand?

Even if you die, you can re-recruit and practice again!

The most important thing in Ming Dynasty is people.

But nothing can happen to the prince.

Something happened to the prince.

Zhu Xiongying will most likely be registered as the grandson as soon as possible with the support of Emperor Zhu and Zhu Silang.

All their preparations will be in vain!

In this battle, he came with only one purpose.

Even if there is an accident.

Everyone can die.

Only the prince can’t!

Even if you are a prisoner of Beiyuan, you cannot die!

"Prince..."

"Brother..."

Everyone tried to persuade him.

Bang bang bang...

The sound of roasting beans suddenly sounded, interrupting the stalemate between Zhu Biao, Lu Ben and others.

Zhu Biao and everyone suddenly raised their heads.

As far as the eye could see, smoke instantly enveloped the entire array.

The charging Beiyuan cavalry, a hundred steps apart, were suddenly greeted by a barrage of pear blossoms in a heavy rain, and they fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang...

Bang bang bang...

…

The first line of troops has already begun to draw guns and swords.

The second horizontal team, the third horizontal team...

Dense explosions sounded one after another.

Smoke has completely enveloped the front.

Zhu Biao and others could only hear screams and shooting, and could no longer see clearly what the battlefield looked like.

Ha ha……

The moment the shooting sound stopped, hearty laughter rang out in the smoke.

Lan Yu rushed out of the smoke on horseback, threw away the blunderbuss, drew her sword and shouted: "Kill!"

Ahead, thirty steps away.

a mess.

There were wailing Yuan troops and fallen horses everywhere, like a hell on earth.

The elite troops of 20,000 yuan have only reached thirty steps away recently.

There are more than 40,000 fire guns.

They were completely defeated in the dense barrage of more than 40,000 projectiles.

In the front, there were 20,000 Beiyuan cavalry. After five rounds of firing, only a few thousand survivors who had long been frightened were left. They were mixed together in chaos, reining in their horses desperately, trying to escape from the battlefield.

"kill!"

The Prince's Guard and the First Town of Jingying followed and rushed out!

The infantry, armed with bright blunderbuss and swords, rushed towards the chaotic cavalry.

The second and third towns of Jingying follow the new military drill code.

The two horizontal formations that were defending the left and right wings but had not yet fired, rushed towards the tribal herdsman cavalry entangled by the cavalry on the left and right wings.

The front team has three horizontal teams.

Under the orders of generals at all levels, they turned back and followed the two horizontal lines that rushed out.

Two horizontal columns approached the tribal herdsmen cavalry from the side.

Avoid the cavalry of your own who are entangled with the herdsmen cavalry in front, and shoot at the rear.

Bang bang bang...

All 20,000 Beiyuan elite troops were lost in a sudden volley of gunfire.

The herdsmen cavalry on the left and right wings were already in panic and were restrained by the bravery of the generals.

Two horizontal teams and thousands of firecrackers came at the same time.

The herdsmen cavalry on the left and right flanks, and the rear began to collapse first.

…

Under the handsome banner.

Everyone who was in a stalemate just now was stunned.

The whole process only takes a few breaths!

The battle was won one-sided?

Is this the power of infantry-artillery coordination?

"Cannon Battalion!"

Tang He suddenly shouted, waking up the stunned people.

"The artillery camp! The artillery camp is aimed at the Beiyuan cavalry rear troops on the left and right wings and bombarded!" Tang He shouted anxiously, and the people were already riding towards the artillery camp.

Infantry and artillery coordination!

Infantry and artillery coordination!

At this time, when the artillery battalion needed to take a step forward and completely defeat the Xueyong of the Beiyuan cavalry, the artillery battalion management did not seize the opportunity!

The shortcomings of not practicing are completely exposed.

Tang He rushed over and roared at the four artillery battalion leaders who were stunned by the situation ahead: "Push the artillery cart forward, aim at the rear troops on the left and right wings, cooperate with the cavalry and infantry, and defeat the remaining cavalry of the Beiyuan Dynasty! Hurry! !quick!"

As he spoke, he kicked open an artillery camp pipe belt.

ah!

With a loud roar, a man actually pushed a gun cart forward.

The surrounding soldiers came to their senses and rushed to help.

The entire artillery camp was in chaos.

Not organized.

Some people push the artillery cart to the left, and some people push the artillery cart to the right.

Tang He took five sheds, rushed forward for a certain distance, stopped, and ordered: "Load! Quick! Quick! Quick!"

After waiting for the soldiers to reload in a hurry.

Tang He took the torch and lit the fuse.

Bang bang bang...

The rumble of artillery fire sounded again.

The left and right rear armies of the Beiyuan Dynasty were originally on the left and right wings of the second and third towns of Jingying. After the two horizontal formations lined up their guns, they were on the verge of collapse. Tuogu Si Timur urgently sent Arutai and others with his own soldiers. Supervise the team and keep it steady.

But the sound of shelling sounded.

Projectiles with huge kinetic energy fall.

The situation of defeat can no longer be undone.

No matter how the supervising team gallops their horses to kill the escapees.

But the tribe's herdsmen and cavalry still fled in panic.

On the battlefield.

Tang He led five sheds, laughed heartily, pushed the artillery cart forward, rushed a certain distance, and fired a few cannons in the direction of the fleeing Beiyuan cavalry.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others abandoned the infantry and led eight thousand cavalry from four towns to chase and kill the tribal herdsmen cavalry who had completely lost their courage amidst the roar of cannons.

The chase continued for fifteen miles.

Worried about the main force of Togu Si Timur attacking the new army in the four towns after the war, Cai was still unwilling to withdraw his troops.

…

Wait for Lan Yu and others to return.

Battlefield statistics have ended.

Lu Ben came over excitedly holding a statistical document and shouted from a distance: "Prince! Crown Prince, this is an unprecedented victory since the Northern Expedition! We killed more than 37,000 enemies!"

Zhu Silang never killed so many enemy troops from Beiyuan in two battles!

The prince did it in one battle!

Zhu Biao took the statistical document handed over by Lu Ben and looked at it carefully.

The smile on his lips grew stronger.

Hu Weiyong said at the right time: "Prince, the results of the battle have come out. It is time to inform the partial army and the imperial court of the news of the battle."

After saying this, he sneered and added, "I wonder how Zhu Silang will react when he hears the results of this battle and the collaboration of infantry and artillery to achieve such a great victory!" ’

"Yes, yes! Prince, you should report your victory as soon as possible!" Lu Ben couldn't wait to agree.

Zhu Silang's victory in two battles is nothing!

Now the crown prince's victory in one battle exceeds that of Zhu Silang in two battles!

"The prince pioneered the use of infantry and artillery coordination, and this victory was hearty!"

…

Zhu Cang and Zhu Jing immediately looked at each other when they heard that Lu Ben was so shameless and didn't even mention that it was Lao Si who proposed the infantry and artillery coordination.

"Lord Lu, I heard you yelling anxiously before. My fourth brother didn't use infantry and artillery to coordinate, but he tricked the prince into using it!"

Zhu Fang couldn't bear it anymore and spoke coldly.

This old dog just stopped the big brother Shuai Qi from pressing forward.

He kept talking without hesitation and still complained about the fourth child.

It's better now.

Yes, the infantry-artillery synergy is the first time Big Brother has used it.

But we can't never mention the fourth child!

As soon as Zhu Ping said this.

After the war, the joyous atmosphere of victory disappeared instantly, and the surrounding air gradually became solid...
