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

call!

The strong wind swept...

Crackling!

Big raindrops hit the green grass blades, and the grass blades bent down instantly. After the raindrops rolled down, they stood up again and swayed in the wind.

As far as the eye can see.

In the rain curtain, the sky and the earth were gray.

The land washed by rain is lush and green.

Zhu Biao stood at the door of the handsome tent, looking at the grass blades outside the tent.

Looking at the camp fence standing below the mountain in the rain, I felt particularly at ease.

There is this small hill and the camp fence below.

Even in this kind of weather where the new armies of the four towns cannot exert the power of their firearms, there is nothing to worry about.

swish swish...

In the sound of rain, the sound of footsteps came...

Zhu Biao looked at the sound...

Hu Weiyong, wearing a raincoat, walked quickly and said with a smile from a distance: "Good news for the prince..."

Zhu Biao turned around, took Hu Weiyong to the commander's tent, pointed to the burning brazier in the middle of the commander's tent, "Toast."

"Thank you, Prince."

After Hu Weiyong thanked him, he put his wet sleeves near the fire pit and reported with a smile: "Those old herdsmen said that there is not much rainfall in Yuerhai generation, but after a heavy rain, There won’t be any rain for a long time…”

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then asked in surprise: "Seriously?"

After Hu Weiyong nodded.

A smile appeared on Zhu Biao's lips.

"That's good..."

Dong dong dong...

The sound of joy just sounded, the rapid drumbeat, and the sound of trumpets suddenly came.

Zhu Biao and Hu Weiyong looked at each other.

Zhu Biao immediately walked quickly outside the tent.

Hu Weiyong turned around and snatched the oil umbrella from the hands of Zhu Biao's soldiers, and hurriedly chased him out to hold the umbrella for Zhu Biao.

Bang bang bang...

The raindrops hit the oil umbrella, and the sound reached my ears. As far as I could see, in the rain curtain in the distance, a dark array of cavalry was slowly approaching the camp.

"I estimate that there should be more than 200,000..."

Zhu Biao murmured to himself.

When Yao Guangxiao mentioned the martial law in Yuuerhai, he also suspected that Tuogusi Timur had prepared some conspiracy and trap in Yuuerhai.

For example, the battlefield with the best geographical advantages has been selected in Yuerhai.

Default battlefield.

Laosi commented that in Sun Tzu's Art of War, there was an argument for presetting the battlefield.

In fact, just like the fact that they are now camping on this hillock, they have also preset a battlefield that is more beneficial to their own side.

Therefore, when his second uncle, Lan Yu and others proposed to camp here, he agreed.

In fact, I was also a little worried that Beiyuan was unwilling to take the initiative to come to their preset battlefield.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

They just camped here yesterday, but within half a day, the Yuan army arrived.

Ta-ta-ta...

The sound of rapid footsteps interrupted Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Lan Yu and others rushed over one after another.

"Meet the prince!"

Zhu Biao nodded, "The war is coming, there is no need to be polite..."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the shadows ahead in the hazy rain and fog, asking: "Will Beiyuan take the initiative to launch an attack in this situation?"

Now the new troops in the four towns are indeed unable to exert the power of firearms.

But they have a camp barrier.

Passively defensive, he firmly believed that Beiyuan could not defeat their camp.

Tang He, Lan Yu and others all observed the Beiyuan cavalry that had stopped advancing in the distance and thought about it secretly.

They couldn't tell whether Beiyuan would launch an attack in this situation.

Now for Beiyuan, it can only be regarded as half the pros and cons.

…

In the rain.

Tuogu Si Timur and others were riding on horseback, letting the rain wash away. Their sharp eyesight penetrated the rain curtain and stared at the continuous large camp relying on the hills.

Arutai whispered: "Khan, it's hard to fight!"

There were too many generals in the Ming army who had experienced battles for a long time.

This camp is very unique in its construction.

Just rely on the terrain advantages of small hills.

Even the main camp was built with three floors.

Obviously, the Ming army was not as arrogant and complacent as they imagined, with consecutive battles and victories, and underestimating the enemy's carelessness.

snort!

Togu Si Timur snorted slightly, "Emperor Zhu has almost defeated the entire Ming Dynasty's top military commanders to Zhu Biao. It will definitely be difficult to fight."

These people personally overthrew their rule in the Central Plains!

Ta-ta-ta...

Just as Togu Si Timur was pondering, the sound of rapid horse hooves came.

"I have an urgent report from He Lin and report it to the Khan!"

The shouting came, and Togu Si Timur waved his hand, stopping the royal soldiers who had reported the news to let him go.

The centurion sent by Mahamu galloped over.

Raindrops came closer, he turned over and dismounted, panting urgently: "Khan, Helin has been lost. The fourth prince of Ming Dynasty has captured Helin!"

"What?"

"With such high walls as Lin Na, the King of Liaoyang has 70,000 to 80,000 infantry and hundreds of thousands of cavalry. How could it be possible that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty could conquer it with a partial force?"

…

The generals started talking in shock and anger.

Everyone was shocked by the news.

They never thought that Helin would be lost!

This is simply impossible!

Although most of the elites were transferred to Yuerhai.

But the elite members of Naha's headquarters were not transferred.

Seventy or eighty thousand infantry troops defended Helin.

There are hundreds of thousands of herdsmen and cavalry cooperating outside the city.

Even if the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty attacked Helin City, it would be impossible to defeat Helin with only hundreds of thousands of troops.

Now, tell them that the most impossible thing has happened?

The King of Liaoyang, who used to be majestic and powerful in Liaodong, is old, dim and incompetent? !

"Tell me! What happened!" Togu Si Timur scolded with a dark face, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

The centurion didn't know whether it was because of the rain and freezing weather or because he was afraid. He shuddered, lowered his head, and said hurriedly: "The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the first town of the army, noticed that we had deployed elite troops, put wheels on the infantry, and launched an attack on He Lin. Running thousands of miles..."

Told through this centurion.

Togu Si Timur and others finally figured out the whole story.

They all looked at each other.

“You can’t blame King Liaoyang!”

"Yeah, if it were us, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better."

"I can only say that the Fourth Prince Ming is too powerful."

"But no, if his 130,000 partial troops arrive directly at Helin City, Helin will not be lost. With 70,000 to 80,000 infantry troops defending inside and hundreds of thousands of cavalry attacking outside, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to attack the city with ease. .”

"Army No. 1 Town secretly launched an attack. With a time lag, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was able to overwhelm the entire army force of No. 1 Army Town and attack the city with ease. If Hai Tong, the ten-thousand-strong defender of the city, had not been cautious and received the news, he would mobilize all the troops that night. With troops on the city, I am afraid that He Lin will be lost the night he arrives at the first town of the army."

"We have also fought against the new armies of the four towns of the Ming Army. Although they are powerful, they are not so powerful! How can the first town of the army hold the city in a wheel battle?"

…

Tuogu Si Timur listened to the discussion and analysis of the generals, his face was livid.

The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty could conquer Helin with such a small force.

There are two main reasons.

First of all, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty hid Nahachu's secret for three days and launched an attack, leaving Nahachu behind.

He won for himself the opportunity to attack the city without interference.

Secondly, it is the defensive power of the Army’s First Town!

Even if he had not been to the battlefield in person, he could still describe from the centurion's narration the dangers of wheel warfare faced by the first army town at that time.

Reported by Centurion.

In this battle, the Fourth Prince of the Ming Dynasty defeated at least 3,000 people in the First Army Town!

With 30% casualties, can you still hold on?

How did the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty train his troops to develop the fighting will of the Army's No. 1 town to be so tenacious.

Tuogu Si Timur does not know.

In fact, the Army's First Town lost 40%!

A total of more than 10,000 people arrived at Helin with Zhu Di.

But when he left Helin and rushed to the fishing sea, he only had a little over six thousand left.

The artillery has been repaired, and only thirty-eight of them are operational.

It was almost equivalent to losing all the artillery battalion of the First Mixed Association.

Fortunately, these artillery pieces were damaged.

But after the victory of the war, it was taken back by the First Army Town.

Otherwise, Jiang Jinzhong would be heartbroken to death.

Each artillery piece was saved one copper coin at a time.

"The leader asked his subordinates to remind the Khan that since the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty already knows that most of our elite troops from the direction of He Lin are transferred to Yuu'erhai, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty will definitely rush to Yuuerhai after conquering Helin. It is very likely that the assault tactic of putting infantry on wheels will be launched again!"

…

"The leader reminded the Khan to defeat the main force of the Ming Prince as soon as possible. If he cannot, he must send a powerful force to contain the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible. He must not repeat the mistake of the Liaoyang King who was attacked by surprise."

Togu Si Timur nodded and asked: "What method did the Ming army cavalry use to quickly break through the Liaoyang King's camp?"

He was very curious about this question.

Now, they were also facing the Ming army's camp.

If we could follow suit, we might be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Taiping, Arutai, Baltupolo, Guilichi and others also looked at the centurion.

Obviously, everyone understands the importance of this issue.

"It should be gunpowder. I heard the roar of gunpowder explosion at that time." The centurion frowned slightly and said, as if he thought of something, he quickly added: "The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty also used gunpowder when he defended the city. Judging from the appearance, it is Wrap the gunpowder in cloth and tie it into a square thing..."

He only saw it from a distance.

Exactly how it is made is unknown.

However, it shouldn't be difficult.

Togustimur immediately ordered: "Immediately take him to the ambush point ten miles away from the rear, and let him assist our people in making explosive bags with gunpowder! Hurry!"

He had to get there before the rain stopped.

Launch an attack on the Ming army camp.

It seemed that the Ming army did not intend to fight with him in the rain, but instead wanted to huddle in the camp.

After two sticks of incense.

Another leader of the Wala tribe returned with the centurion and Tupolo.

He took off a sheepskin package from the side of the war horse and said excitedly: "Khan, it's done. My subordinates have already tried it. It's powerful enough to blast a gap in the wooden camp fence..."

As he spoke, he unfolded the freshly peeled soft sheepskin of the bald polo, revealing the oily explosive bag inside wrapped in cloth.

Togu Si Timur glanced at it.

Ask: "How many were made?"

"I made twenty of them urgently. This thing is actually very simple..."

After hearing this, Togu Si Timur smiled on his lips and said, "Immediately select a group of warriors and teach them how to use explosive bags."

Not long after taking Tupolo's orders and leaving.

Woo woo woo...

The dull sound of the horn sounded quickly in the rain.

…

On the top of the mountain, at the door of the handsome tent, Lan Yu listened to the sound of the horn and said solemnly: "Bei Yuan is about to attack!"

However, there was not much worry on the faces of the generals.

There is a camp fence as a barrier, and this camp has three such barriers designed.

It's not unobstructed.

Zhu Biao looked around at the generals and ordered: "Everyone, please go to your respective positions immediately and take charge of command!"

"As you command!"

Lan Yu and others took the order and left in a hurry.

Ta-ta-ta...

When generals at all levels arrived at their own armies, the roar of war horses trampling the ground came.

More than 200,000 cavalrymen spread out along the mountains, divided into four routes, southeast, northwest, and surrounded the camp.

Among them, on the northern route, in addition to 50,000 herdsmen cavalry, there are 30,000 elites standing in formation.

The flag of the Northern Marshal was soaked by the rain and stuck tightly to the flagpole.

Togu Si Timur raised his arms and ordered coldly, "In this battle, I will give out a million cattle and sheep as a reward. If you kill a Ming army, you will be rewarded with five sheep!"

The messengers galloped away to convey the reward from Togu Si Timur.

In the rain, the eyes of the herdsman cavalry who were soaked all over suddenly turned slightly red.

…

"attack!"

At a certain moment, Togu Si Timur waved his hand violently.

Woo woo woo...

The rapid sound of horns and drums suddenly resounded throughout the world, and the sound of rain seemed to disappear in an instant.

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, the herdsmen cavalry, led by a small number of elites, took the lead in rushing out.

Camp.

In the first circle of the camp, the pikemen were already standing in formation inside the fence, with the tips of their spears passing through the gap in the fence and pointing outwards at an angle.

The battle of guarding the camp is too familiar to these veterans who followed His Majesty and created the Ming Dynasty.

There is no need for the general to give orders, the soldiers all know what to do.

Behind the spearmen, the entire army of 20,000 archers stood with their bows and arrows drawn, squinting their eyes and letting the rain flow into their eyes, staring closely at the rushing Beiyuan cavalry.

Throughout the first circle of the camp.

In addition to 30,000 spearmen and 20,000 archers.

There are 150,000 troops left.

One hundred thousand were arranged in the second circle.

In the third circle, the new troops from the four towns were deployed in the Chinese army commander's tent.

The soldiers watched.

When the Beiyuan herdsmen cavalry rushed a hundred steps away.

Among the charging enemy troops, five or six elite cavalry and armor suddenly rushed in first, dispersed, and approached the fence of the camp.

In the archery army, the generals who were good at archery did not know what the enemy troops who were the first to rush towards approached wanted to do.

Instinctively aim and shoot.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

A Bei Yuan Jingqi was shot and fell off his horse.

There are also Beiyuan Jingqi, either prostrate on the back of the horse, or crawling under the horse's belly, approaching quickly.

There are still more than ten steps away.

One by one, the surviving Beiyuan Jingqi bravely revealed their bodies and threw out the square black objects. At the same time, a piece of sheepskin fell.

What do prairie people do?

boom!

While the soldiers were still suspicious, suddenly, a roaring explosion sounded.

There were also explosive packets, which were soaked by rainwater and did not ignite and explode.

…

when the explosion sounded.

Outside Shanbao Shuai's tent, under the umbrella, Zhu Biao's face instantly became solemn.

The smoke from the explosion was quickly washed away by heavy rain.

Gaps appeared in sight one by one.

"put!"

"Clog the gap!"

…

The general in charge of the defense became anxious and shouted loudly.

Another round of arrow rain fell, briefly blocking the Beiyuan cavalry who had rushed within fifty steps.

Under the general's urging, the pikemen rushed to the gap.

A famous soldier formed a formation in an instant.

Bang bang bang...

The handle of the gun slammed into the muddy ground, and the tip of the gun tilted outward.

Soon, hundreds of veterans who had survived the battle formed a human wall in each gap.

At the same time, the Beiyuan herdsman cavalry also approached.

Facing the forest of sharp spears, the Beiyuan cavalry timidly wanted to stop, but the inertia of the galloping horses could not achieve it.

boom!

The two sides collided violently.

The war horse was pierced by the spear point, neighing in pain, and threw the Beiyuan Army on its back to the ground.

The powerful force directly broke the gun handle, and the war horse smashed into the human wall formed by the Ming army's pikemen.

The charge of the Beiyuan cavalry was briefly contained.

The Beiyuan cavalry in the front panicked and controlled their horses' speed. The cavalry in the rear had no idea and had already swarmed in.

The Ming army and the Beiyuan army trampled on each other.

Chaos.

On both sides of the gap, the Ming spearmen who had gathered urgently were thrusting out with their spears.

The Yuan army reacted quickly. The Yuan army that rushed in first swung their swords, regardless of slashing and killing the panicked Paoze who was blocking the road, and then attacked on both sides.

As more and more Yuan troops poured into the gap.

Although the speed of the high-speed galloping of the war horse was forced to be controlled.

It is beneficial to the defensive Ming army.

But as more and more Yuan troops poured in, the Ming troops on both sides began to retreat steadily.

Outside the handsome tent, Zhu Biao looked at the first circle of the camp, which was already in chaos, and his face was very ugly.

He didn't expect that the Yuan army would break through the outer camp so quickly!

They used gunpowder.

Beiyuan is also using it!

Zhu Biao pushed away the umbrella held by Hu Weiyong and gave a cold order: "Go, notify the artillery battalion and ask if the artillery battalion can shell the camp!"

He thought it shouldn't be a big problem.

Make a few holes in the tent, just like the cannons on the Laosi naval warship.

In this way, you won't have to worry about it raining outside.

"yes!"

Hu Weiyong left in a hurry after accepting the order.

Zhu Biao let the rain wash away and stared with squinted eyes.

The second uncle, Lan Yu and others who were in charge of the command below had urgently withdrawn the archers behind the second fence of the camp and continued to shoot the Yuan army cavalry.

He was not worried that the Yuan army would break the camp.

It was just that in such a short period of time, he was a little annoyed by the Yuan army's clever use of gunpowder.

In fact, explosive bags and explosive cans are nothing new.

Laosi used it when he fought against pirates in Min County.

The generals in the court had also known for a long time that explosive packs could be used in this way during the battle to defend the city.

In fact, the principle is the same as that of a fire oil tank.

However, I didn't expect that gunpowder could be used in offensive warfare in this way.

Since the emergence of the new army, my second uncle has always said that various new tactics will inevitably appear in the future use of firearms.

These old guys will be eliminated.

Now it seems that the second uncle got everything right.

Boom boom…

The sound of rapid and violent shelling interrupted Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Zhu Biao stared closely at the Beiyuan cavalry not far away from the side. A projectile rushed towards the Beiyuan cavalry down the hillside.

The impact point of the projectile fell behind the Beiyuan cavalry.

Although no casualties were caused, a group of herdsmen and cavalry were obviously panicked after the sound of cannons.

…

snort!

Under the banner of Marshal Bei.

Hearing the sound of artillery fire, Tuogu Si Timur snorted coldly, "Send the order, 30,000 men are riding on them! Spread out!"

Woo woo woo...

The trumpet sounds.

The 30,000 Bei Yuan Jingqi who had been stationary were dispatched.

Amidst the roaring sound of horse hooves, 30,000 fine knights dispersed and rushed over.

The sound of shelling.

thunder.

The sound of rain.

The shouts of killing merged together for a moment.

The rain at the foot of the mountain gradually turned pink, and soon turned red again...

Amid the shouts of death, the rain gradually decreased.

Until it stops.

After a round of rain, the bright sun appeared in the sky.

Witnessing the brutal killing of ants on the earth.

The outer camp fence has been almost completely destroyed.

The pikemen on the outside suffered heavy losses and have been withdrawn behind the second fence to cooperate with the sword, shield and archer soldiers in defense.

The Beiyuan side, which was composed almost entirely of herdsmen and cavalry, suffered even more heavy losses.

Just because the Ming army retreated, although they suffered heavy losses, they had sufficient morale and continued to rush towards the second fence without fear of death.

The rain of arrows from both sides replaced the heavy rain that had stopped, and fell in sheets like an endless stream.

Screams could be heard constantly.

…

Under the banner of Marshal Bei.

Arutai frowned: "New troops in the four towns of the Ming Army are gathering. Khan, are you blowing the trumpet to withdraw the troops?"

The 30,000 elites who are cooperating with the attack of 200,000 herdsmen and cavalry are the elites of his own army!

The Ming army had obviously stabilized from the initial panic.

If you continue to fight, it will only be unnecessary damage.

On the grassland, after every heavy rain, there must be strong winds.

It is better to wait for the Ming army to be drawn out of the camp and fight in the wild!

Togu Si Timur glanced at Arutai, "All the armor you lost will be fully compensated to you by this Khan after the war. As long as you win this battle and annihilate the 500,000 elite Ming troops who came out of the fortress, you will still Worried about the lack of armor? Not only armor, but as long as our troops continue to fight today and win this battle, I will give you 10,000 muskets like those of the Ming army!"

After Tupolo and the others heard this, their breathing suddenly became rapid.

The rifle made by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful that they were jealous!

Greed flashed in Arutai's eyes, and he hurriedly explained: "Khan, my subordinates swore to Changshengtian. It's not that they are worried about losses. It's just that this kind of loss has too little effect."

"Who said it's less effective!"

Togu Si Timur smiled and said, "In this battle, I will suffer heavy losses and ignite the arrogance of the Ming army..."

In addition to the 30,000 elite troops of Arutai, the troops invested in this attack were herdsmen cavalry.

It's a pity that many died.

But worth it.

It can further stimulate the arrogance of the Ming army.

"After this attack is defeated, I will send envoys to inform Prince Ming that his brother, the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty, has conquered Helin City, which was defended by 300,000 troops, and won a great victory on the Western Front... …”

Arutai and others frowned when they heard this.

I don’t understand what Togu Si Timur wants.

When Togu Si Timur saw the generals' faces filled with suspicion, a sneer flashed across his eyes. These new generation prairie wolf kings who had been raised by him would not be able to lead troops in battle.

But intrigues and conspiracy calculations are still too young.

If Naha comes out, he will definitely see through what he wants to do immediately.

Tuogusi Timur said slowly: "It is said that the people under Prince Ming's command have always been very hostile to the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, this time, Prince Ming took charge of the Northern Expedition to build up his prestige. I am afraid that in his heart, the prince Ming did not want the fourth prince of Ming to fight here." The prestige in the army surpasses that of his coach. If he and his supporters knew that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, relied on a small number of troops to get ahead of them and capture He Lin, how would they react..."

Arutai and others' eyes instantly lit up.

The apparent military strength of the King of Liaoyang was almost the same as theirs.

If the news that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty defeated the King of Liaoyang and conquered Helin with 100,000 men reached the ears of the main force of the Ming prince.

Mentaiko, the main force on this journey, will definitely be eager.

In addition, the Ming army today killed a large number of their soldiers and horses, and they despised them.

The main force of the Ming army will most likely be eager to fight them!

Now, they are also eager to fight.

Defeat the main force of the Ming army before the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty arrives!

"Khan, what if the main force of the Ming Prince hears that the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty conquered Helin and waits for the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty?" Taiping suddenly raised an objection.

snort!

Togu Si Timur snorted slightly, "That's better! We divided one hundred thousand elites and cooperated with the herdsmen and cavalry to surround the main force of the Ming army. We concentrated the remaining elites to set up an ambush to attack the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty. He rushed over and the whole army, I must be very tired..."

However, he concluded that the Ming Prince and the main force of the Ming army would never be like this.

First of all, it is impossible for the Ming Prince to let the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty participate in the battle on the Yuerhai side.

If this is the case, the battle for the Ming Prince to establish his prestige will become the battle for the four Ming princes to establish their prestige.

Anyway, if he were the Mentaiko, he would never allow this to happen.

Secondly, the two Ming armies had no contact with each other.

The main force of the Ming army along this route was completely unable to determine whether and when the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty would come?

Bang bang bang...

At this moment, there was a sound like frying beans.

The Yuan army, which was fighting and trying to break through the second obstacle, fell instantly.

Although Arutai got the promise of Togu Si Timur.

Seeing a large number of elites in his own headquarters falling to the ground, the corners of his lips still twitched in pain.

The Yuan army began to collapse.

Bang bang bang...

When another round of volley fired.

The defeated Yuan army had already rushed seventy or eighty steps away.

"Won!"

"Prince Chitose!"

"Prince Wan Sheng!"

…

Cheers came from the Ming army camp.

Togu Si Timur, the leader of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, heard the cheers from the Ming army camp. Although he was defeated, he also smiled.

Togu Si Timur turned to look at everyone and asked with a smile: "Which of you is willing to serve as an envoy and tell Prince Ming the 'good news' that the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty conquered Helin?"

"Khan, please go down." Arutai asked with a sneer.

In this battle, he lost at least three thousand elites!

Such a big loss.

He had to be the one to bury the assassination of Mentaiko, right?

"Okay, Arutai, you go!"

…

After Zhu Biao witnessed the defeat of the Yuan army, he began to retreat slowly. When he heard the cheers of the soldiers, a smile appeared on his lips, and he turned around and returned to the commander's tent.

When the generals arrive one after another.

Zhu Biao had already changed into dry clothes.

After everyone arrived, Zhu Biao first asked: "Lanyu, how are the losses? How about annihilating the enemy?"

Lan Yu replied steadily: "Prince, we have lost more than 10,000 people and killed at least 40,000 enemies! Among them, 4,000 elites and more than 30,000 herdsmen cavalry..."

When the generals heard this, they all had smiles on their faces.

At that time, the first fence of the camp was broken down. It was great to achieve such results in such a dangerous situation.

Thanks to the three obstacles, I quickly retreated behind the second obstacle with little loss!

"good……"

"Report!"

Just as Zhu Biao's praise rang out, a report came from outside the tent, "Beiyuan sent an envoy to ask for an audience!"

Everyone in the tent had astonished faces.

Zhu Biao came to his senses and said, "Bring the envoy from Beiyuan in."

A moment later, Arutai walked in, stroked his chest and saluted: "Alutai pays homage to the Ming Dynasty Prince."

"No need to be formal." Zhu Biao raised his hand, looked at Arutai, and asked: "I don't know why Tuogu Si Timur sent you here?"

Arutai raised his head.

He proudly looked around the generals, then looked at Zhu Biao, clasping his fists in congratulations, "The Khan sent me to congratulate the Ming Dynasty. The fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty has conquered Helin. Our King of Liaoyang, led by one hundred thousand cavalry, has retreated to an unknown location..."

Arutai was still talking, and there was already an uproar in the tent.

"Did King Yan conquer Helin?"

"How can it be!"

"There are 300,000 elites out of Naha!"

…

Arutai had stopped, listening to the discussion of the Ming army generals, and sneered secretly, 'Khan really guessed it. ’

Except for surprise.

He also heard the sour smell!

Zhu Biao came back to his senses and his face darkened slightly when he heard the unpleasant comments from everyone.

Ha ha……

Then he laughed heartily.

The generals stopped talking.

Zhu Biao looked at Arutai with a smile, "This is indeed good news. Thank you Tugu Si Timur for the orphan!"

Arutai looked at Zhu Biao suspiciously, ‘Isn’t Mentaiko nervous? ’

"I wonder if you have anything else to do besides reporting the great victory to Gu?"

Zhu Biao's words interrupted Arutai's thoughts.

Arutai stroked his chest and said: "Khan just wants to tell Prince Ming that the Northern Expedition, the battle to establish Prince Ming's power, the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty has already taken the lead!"

The generals stared angrily.

Arutai said it too straightforwardly.

Tell Zhu Biao bluntly: Your battle to establish your authority has become the battle to establish your authority for the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di!

"court death!"

Chang Mao yelled angrily, stood up, drew his sword and rushed towards Alutai.

"stop!"

Zhu Biao stopped him angrily with a black face, and looked at Arutai with a cold face, "I know Tuogu Si Timur's purpose, you can go back!"

Stimulate him and make him lose his sense of control.

You underestimate him too much!

He was very happy when Lao Si defeated He Lin.

This represents the interests of Ming Dynasty!

As the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, if he cannot accept the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, then he is not worthy of being the Crown Prince!

He also betrayed his father’s long-standing trust!

‘Isn’t it uncomfortable? ’

Arutai glanced at Zhu Biao suspiciously, caressed his chest and saluted, then turned and left.

"Prince, we must fight Togu Si Timur as soon as possible..."

As soon as Arutai left, Chang Mao spoke eagerly.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Biao scolded angrily.

boom!

He slapped his hand heavily on the document, stood up suddenly, and glanced at everyone coldly, "Gu knows that many of you, because of Gu, or because of your own interests, have always been hostile and repulsive towards the fourth child!"

"For these, I have always upheld the principle that as long as it does not affect the overall situation, I will turn a blind eye..."

"But your reaction in front of Arutai today made Gu very disappointed!"

"Lao Si's victory over Helin is not a victory for the Ming Dynasty?"

…

The more Zhu Biao spoke, the sharper his tone became.

Those who felt guilty bowed their heads.

‘How much true or false? ’

Yao Guangxiao sat behind Zhu Xi and observed Zhu Biao with interest.

He had to admit.

This one is actually very good!

As expected of the students of so many founding heroes, such as Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen!

"You all go out alone, calmly reflect, and come back in an hour to discuss the matter!"

A group of people heard the order and left in despair.

Tang He didn't leave. After everyone left, he looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Prince, can you tell your second uncle your true feelings?"

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.

He got up, walked to Tang He, sat directly on the floor, across a short table, and sat across from Tang He. He looked at Tang He, slightly condensed, and said without reservation: "In front of my second uncle, I will not tell lies. This battle is a battle for my father to establish my prestige among the government, the public, and the army. I understand this purpose from the moment my father promised me to lead the Northern Expedition..."

"I am definitely a little anxious as the fourth child conquers Helin first, but I also know that the fourth child will never come to Yuerhai to compete with me for the credit. I even suspect that the fourth child conquered Helin because of the development of the war. , for example, they needed to defend Lin Jiancheng and Lin Kongkong, but they were noticed by the fourth child. After all, the fourth child only had 130,000 troops along the way. Facing Naha's 300,000 elite troops, there was no news for several months, and we still don't know. , how many difficulties and obstacles we encountered, how serious the losses were, and how bad the situation was..."

"At the same time, I also know that Togu Si Timur just wants to use this news to disturb my heart and the morale of our army. This plan is a brilliant conspiracy! He underestimates me too much. Although I am a little anxious, the fourth brother After all, conquering Helin will benefit the Ming Dynasty, and I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, so it will also benefit me!"

…

Tang He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

The prince could distinguish the pros and cons so clearly, he felt relieved.

As for being anxious, this is human nature.

As long as you understand and can restrain yourself, that's fine.

…

Zhang Bei.

Jiang 𤩽 arrived in Zhangbei.

He galloped into the city and went straight to Jinyiwei Zhangbei's office.

"Commander, why are you back? Have you found King Yan?" The commander-in-chief asked impatiently without waiting for Jiang Wei to dismount.

Jiang 𤩽’s face was pale and his lips were chapped. He turned over and dismounted...

Plop!

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

"Commander!" Several imperial guards rushed forward to help him.

Jiang 𤩽 was helped to stand up, his legs shaking violently.

He did not leave his horse for several days.

There was no feeling in his legs.

He raised his hand and pointed at the Mongolian noble who came back with him, and said hoarsely: "Tightly control this person..."

After hesitating, he added: "Just control it, don't be lazy."

These Mongolian nobles are already Zhu Silang's people.

Although he wanted to bring bad luck to Zhu Silang, he did not want to conflict with Zhu Silang.

Conquer Helin.

Zhu Silang, who was rushing to rescue the prince, could not afford to offend him!

Besides, who can say for sure if something happens to the prince during this battle.

How noble Zhu Silang would be.

Perhaps, one day, he will have to kneel in front of Zhu Silang and say long live the mountain!

"Quick! Take me to the room!"

While Jiang 𤩽 was urging, General Jinyiwei led Jiang 𤩽 to the official office.

Jiang Jian drove away the others and left only the general flag behind. He didn't even bother to drink water, so he ordered: "You should go and do two things immediately. First, send someone back to the court secretly to report to your majesty that King Yan has conquered Helin. However, half of Naha’s elite troops from the Western Front have been secretly transferred to Yuerhai..."

The general's face changed wildly.

Chills all over.

"When I returned, King Yan was already preparing to attack and rescue the prince."

"Two, you personally follow the supply line left by the prince's main force and work hard to find traces of the prince's main force. See if you can tell the prince the news in time..."

Of course he didn't want anything to happen to the prince.

If something happens to the prince.

He had a premonition.

Zhu Silang is very likely to be appointed as the crown prince by His Majesty!

Mao Ah Liu must follow the dignitary!

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go quickly! Use Jinyiwei's highest-level reporting system!"

Zongqi came back to his senses and said, "Yes!"

After giving the order, he turned around in a panic and ran out with hands and feet. He hit the door frame with a bang and ignored it.

Jiang Wei watched the commander-in-chief leave in panic, spread out on the chair, sighed, raised his head and murmured: "Prince, you must hold on until Zhu Silang's reinforcements arrive. Don't be reckless!"

The matter is too big!

too big!

Maybe things will change tomorrow!

He believed that many people would never want to see Zhu Silang sit on the supreme throne of the Ming Dynasty!
