Chapter 262: The End of the Hero (Medium)
Sheng Yong rode lightly, and behind him was 40,000 heavy-armored elite horsemen who held their breath and held their breath.
This is Zhu Di's elite soldiers, veterans who have repeatedly fought with the grassland people for more than ten years, and a real strong soldier in a hundred battles, perhaps, their faith is not as tenacious as the soldiers who participated in the flood fight in Beijing, and their military discipline is not as strict as that of Beijing. However, they are definitely more aggressive than the soldiers of the Beijing battalion.
They are murderous, war-hungry, and thirsty for military merit and wealth.
This army will never be the army of kings, but it is definitely a tiger and wolf army.
In the Liaonan Plain back then, it was this army that crushed all Li Fangyuan's ambitions, and the hundreds of thousands of troops raised by the King of Joseon's ambition were like falling leaves, which were crushed by this torrent of steel.
And now, Sheng Yong will take these 40,000 people to block Mahamu's 100,000 grassland coalition army head-on!
Just as Mahamu saw Sheng Yong's army, Sheng Yong's sight also saw the traces of Mahamu's coalition army, and in the environment of the prairie, there was nowhere to hide.
The military order given to him by Zhu Di was to drag Ma Hamu's coalition forces not to retreat, not to let Sheng Yong achieve much success, so Sheng Yong did not rush to charge, but urged the formation to move forward without hurry, creating psychological pressure on Ma Hamu.
Sure enough, the military formation of the steppe people stopped.
"Let's stop, too."
When the distance between the two armies was almost shortened to about twenty miles, Sheng Yong spat out, and the herald beside him waved the military flag, and in an instant, the order was forbidden, and the 40,000 people stopped in unison.
Heaven and earth fell into stagnation at this moment, and on the blue waves under the sky, hundreds of thousands of blood-scarred athletes were eyeing each other, but they magically restrained each other.
"What does Akito mean by that?"
Mahamu thought that the Ming army would charge, but what he didn't expect was that he was hesitant and confrontational, which made him a little confused.
"We can't waste time with the Ming people."
Arutai was anxious: "Mahamu, why don't we divide the troops." ”
Dividing the troops, leaving a part to contain the Ming army, and the rest of the army making a detour to rush back for reinforcements is the only way Arutai can think of now.
"Division?"
Mahamu sneered and shook his head in despair.
"Don't you look familiar with this Ming army? If we divide our troops, they will also divide our troops, and the Ming people obviously intend to drag us here, unless we run for our lives, and then be chased and killed by them. ”
"How many armies we are divided into, the Ming army on the opposite side will definitely be divided into as many as they are, and their task is to keep us all here, so as to buy time for their rear to encircle and suppress the old camp."
Looking up to the sky and sighing, Ma Hamu laughed miserably: "Even, with Zhu Di's personality, as long as he can completely annihilate the old camp of the South River, he will sacrifice these 40,000 elites without mercy, so if we want to return to help, there is only one way to go, and that is to defeat these 40,000 elite horsemen head-on." ”
As Ma Hamu guessed, once the grassland coalition army chooses to divide the troops, Sheng Yong will not hesitate to divide the troops to pursue, no matter how much sacrifice is paid, this grassland coalition army will be dragged to death.
A war can be done for a hundred lifetimes, so no matter how much sacrifice there is, the Ming Dynasty is completely acceptable.
Just when Ma Hamu gritted his teeth and decided to urge the army to charge, a Ming soldier galloped within a hundred steps of the marching formation, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the King of Shunning, my general wants to ask you to drink and sit in front of the two armies." ”
Drink less and sit less?
"Nangou is shameless, why bother talking."
Bald Bro's eyes were red, and he untied his longbow and was about to shoot an arrow, but Mahamu reached out and pressed it.
"This wine, you have to drink it."
Ma Hamu wanted to see what the Ming army was going to do: "He just called me King Shunning, this is the little emperor who gave me the title of king, which shows that there is still room for reversal in this matter, don't act rashly." ”
If it can be discussed, it is naturally the best, otherwise if he wants to defeat the 40,000 ironclad horsemen head-on, he Mahamu is not very sure in his heart, even if he wins?
When the coalition forces with heavy losses returned to the old camp, it was just a death, or was the old camp at that time completely wiped out?
"Big brother, be careful of deception."
Balbro's anxious persuasion was blocked by Mahamu's words.
"We don't have a choice now."
Yes, the grassland has no choice, so I can only let Daming lead the way.
Both Arutai and Ghost Li Chi sighed, and their hearts were bitter for a while.
The current prairie is not even qualified to say no to the southerners.
Holding the horse into battle, Mahamu firmly grasped the reins of the horse with his left hand, which had only three fingers left, and raised the whip in his right hand.
There was no cup smashing, no cloud-piercing arrow, the scene of the assassin shooting out, Sheng Yong really rode one person and one horse, and the two of them, Ma Hamu, who was also walking alone, were side by side in front of the two armies.
"I have heard for a long time the prestige of His Royal Highness the King of Wara Shunning, and the last general Beiping commanded Sheng Yong to see the king."
The two turned over and dismounted, and Sheng Yong also took the trouble to see Ma Hamu and gave an official salute.
At the beginning, Zhu Yunwen not only returned the gift, but also had an edict that enshrined Mahamu as the king with a different surname, and the honorific title was the king of Shunning.
Therefore, there is no problem for Sheng Yong to salute Mahamu.
"You Han people always like to salute first and then fight, first Ming and then not fight, after this ceremony, should you use troops?"
Ma Hamu watched Sheng Yong's performance coldly, and hated the smirk on the latter's face: "I, the grassland people, sincerely surrender to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, why do I still send troops to conscript, there is no reason in the world for the monarch to kill his own people indiscriminately, it is simply ridiculous." ”
Sheng Yong just laughed, ignoring Ma Hamu's full of anger and anger.
"King Shunning's words are wrong, this time it is just because I heard that in the land of the wild west, Amy Timur led the army to invade the grassland, thinking that the grassland is now also the territory of my Ming Dynasty, I have no distinction between Han and Yi towards Your Majesty, and I treat the people equally and love the people as sons, which is why the King of Yan led the army to the north, the purpose is to protect the people of my grassland from the danger of war, why did it become a conquest in your mouth?"
In terms of cheekiness and lip skin, Mahamu knew that he was invincible to the Han people, and his face turned blue by Sheng Yong's quibbly at the moment, and he said angrily: "In this case, why did the general block my back road, get out of the way quickly, so that my army can turn back to the old camp of the Trouble River." ”
"Turn around the old camp of the River of Difficulty? That's not going to work. ”
Sheng Yong's face turned sharply, and he took out a yellow silk silk like a trick: "Your Majesty's holy message, will King Shunning accept the order?" ”
What the hell is this, and where did you come up with this decree?
Mahamu's eyes were dizzy, but he still gritted his teeth and bowed: "The minister Shunning King Xuanluo - Mahamu waits for the decree." ”
The so-called holy decree was naturally asked by Zhu Di from Zhu Yunwen before he left Beijing, and the purpose was just to disgust Mahamu and others.
The content is also lackluster, the general meaning is that Mahamu this time "defending the land" has meritorious, keeping the Ming Dynasty's desert northern steppe, under the reward of meritorious deeds, Zhu Yunwen intends to reward Mahamu with many good things, and finally, I hope that Mahamu and Arutai can attack this time for the tiger to help Timur invade the grassland and the Ming Dynasty's East Chagatai.
"What, does the King of Shunning plan to resist the decree?"
Sheng Yong saw that Ma Hamu was just glaring at him, and he had no intention of accepting the order, so he immediately said with an angry face: "Do you know that the crime of resisting the decree is really a great rebellion?" ”
I'll pick up your mother's head!
