Chapter Seventy-Six: Full Command
In the sky, the dark clouds are gathering, as Ma Sanbao saw, the cumulonimbus clouds gathered together, the feeling of black clouds pressing the city and wanting to destroy the city made the Ming army a little suffocated, and the atmosphere became a lot more solemn, seeing the rain falling from the sky drop by drop, the entire Ming army was a little stunned, they extinguished the bonfire placed before, and hid in the barracks.
"It's going to rain!" Xu Da looked at the sky, and suddenly remembered what Ma Sanbao said when he sent the war letter, and he was convinced of Ma Sanbao's previous words, he really believed that Ma Sanbao had the ability to control the weather, and now it was really going to rain.
Black clouds shrouded in the sky, cumulonimbus clouds made Xu Da stunned, Ma Sanbao looked at the rain clouds in an old-fashioned manner, he had already guessed the situation of the rain, in this regard, Ma Sanbao did not have too many thoughts, he looked at the weather that was about to rain, from the military book, he saw that the rain will have a certain impact on the war, at least, the fire attack is impossible to achieve, if the Mongols buried gunpowder in the battle, the method of fire attack will be in vain.
Fire attack, whether it is the Ming or the Mongols are familiar with the road, the evolution of thousands of years has made the Ming and the Mongols play with fire attack, now it is raining, the tactic of fire attack can be said to be abandoned, after all, this is the prairie, dry firewood fire is easy to cause unnecessary harm.
At first, it was just a drizzle, but soon, it turned into a downpour, and the majestic rain made Xu Da a little helpless, I don't know if he should continue to fight with the Mongolian army, but the war letter was sent, and it was a big joke to flee without a fight.
"Wenhe, what do you think of fighting in the rain?" Xu Ran opened his mouth and said, watching the heavy rain fall on the barracks, it is not unheard of to fight in the rain, but the probability of him losing in the rain is very high.
Fighting in rainy days, Ma Sanbao is not inexperienced, when he was still Zheng Qi, he used to fight in rainy days, but it was at sea, the harsh environment and land warfare are not comparable, the shaking ships and the harsh sea environment are obviously much more difficult than land operations, he has a gun, and he obviously does not need to worry too much about war.
"It's about to start a war, but I don't know when the rain will stop. Our inferiority in cavalry can make up for it! Ma Sanbao said, spring is coming, the climate is also warming, because of this, the most common snowflakes in the northeast garrison are replaced by rain, rainfall, will affect the vision of combat soldiers, even the grass will become muddy, the speed of horses will be affected, but this is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Mongolian soldiers are good at cavalry, horses are affected, for the nomads who are good at controlling horses is a big hidden danger.
A simple conversation made Xu Da look at Ma Sanbao with admiration, he ignored one point, the Mongolian soldiers are good at cavalry, once the horses are affected, the Mongolian soldiers' judgment of the battle situation will also be affected to a certain extent, Da Ming can use this to narrow the gap between himself and the Mongolian army.
Not only that, the Ming Dynasty's attainments in the fire gun are higher than the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army is still using pure gunpowder, the Ming soldiers' fire guns have been loaded with copper bullets, plus Ma Sanbao added the idea of modern infantry weapons to the research and development of the fire gun, so that the Ming fire gun is far ahead of the Mongolian army too much.
"In terms of weapons, we are far superior to the Mongolian army, I don't know how many guns in the general's army have been renovated by Nanjing City?" Ma Sanbao asked, in Nanjing, he is the largest arms dealer, his industrial park contains a lot of munitions, especially the bullets of the gun, in addition to the production of AK and sniper bullets developed by himself, there is also the transformation of the bullets of the gun.
"Non-commissioned officer, pass the order, this time the war is commanded by His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness and Ma Sanbao, and I Xu Da will be the auxiliary!" Suddenly, Xu Da said to the non-commissioned officer, not only the non-commissioned officer looked confused, but even Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di showed a look of surprise, especially Zhu Di, he is just a novice on the battlefield, although he likes the pleasure of war, but he is inevitably a little nervous when he goes to the battlefield for the first time, and Zhu Di is excited and apprehensive when he puts the power of the general in his hands.
"General, are you telling the truth?" Zhu Di didn't believe everything he heard, he really didn't expect that Xu Da would actually put the military power into his hands, this was the first time he Zhu Di participated in the war, the other party was still the famous general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Naier Buhua, compared with himself and Naier Buhua, it was simply a small thing.
"Your Highness, I will do my best to assist you." Ma Sanbao is also helpless, although he has a little understanding of the art of war, but this is also the first time he has taken over the Ming army, the Ming army is brave and good at fighting, but whether to listen to his command is another matter.
"General, that's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?" The non-commissioned officer was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to spread the news to the army, if this was passed on, it was estimated that there would be a lot of turmoil in the entire Northeast garrison, but he hoped that Xu Da would change his words and let Xu Da be the commander, and Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di would play an auxiliary role.
"My heart has been decided, don't persuade me, it's useless." Xu Da waved his hand, making the non-commissioned officer very helpless, when the non-commissioned officer was about to leave the barracks, Ma Sanbao opened the umbrella and sent it to the non-commissioned officer's side, "Be careful, don't get sick, it's raining, it's easy to get sick." ”
Seeing Ma Sanbao's heart-warming actions, the non-commissioned officer smiled and took the umbrella and spread the news throughout the Northeast Garrison.
The reaction of the Northeast garrison was similar to what the non-commissioned officer guessed, and the garrisons could not have imagined that the Fourth Highness turned out to be the commander-in-chief of this war, and who was the general they were about to face? The famous general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Nai'er, doesn't spend, but His Royal Highness is just a rookie, even Xu Da may not be able to take advantage of Nai'er's hands, let alone the Fourth Highness Zhu Di, even if there is Ma Sanbao, who boasts of blowing himself, these soldiers still don't trust the cooperation of His Royal Highness and Ma Sanbao to give them much advantage from the soldiers of the Northern Yuan.

Also affected by the rain is the Mongolian army, the leader of the Mongolian army, Nai'er Buhua looked at the weather, couldn't help but take a sip of hot wine, he sat on the fur seat, looking at the Ming military camp looming in the distance, "Daming, you really know how to pick the time, but when we are preparing gunpowder, it rains!" ”
In the Yuan Dynasty, gunpowder has entered the battlefield in large quantities, during the Yuan Dynasty, the gunpowder is the most frequent thermal weapon on the battlefield, not to mention other gunpowder weapons, rainy weather, will cause gunpowder to fail, after all, they are not as good as Ma Sanbao, unable to make a super-era weapon like a rifle.
"General, the Khan has summoned you, please return to Mongolia as soon as possible." Just when Nai Er Buhua was still thinking about how to use the heavy rain to fight with the Ming army, the non-commissioned officer beside him hurriedly sent a summoning letter, unlike the Ming Dynasty, the biggest leader of Mongolia is the Khan, similar to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Khan's orders are supreme for any Mongolian soldier, seeing that the Khan summoned him, Nai Er Buhua had to beat his chest in frustration, he didn't want to leave the barracks, he wanted to kill the Ming Dynasty without leaving a piece of armor.
"Summoned at this time, doesn't the Khan know that there is a war between us and the Ming Dynasty?" Na'er was puzzled, he didn't want to leave the station, but now the Khan's summons made him have to pay attention, if the Khan is angry, even if he is a general, he will fall to the ground.
"The Khan understands, but the Khan is very dissatisfied with this battle, and he blames the general for not being able to wipe out all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." The non-commissioned officer whispered in Na'er's ear.
"Khan knows what a fart war! If Da Ming is so easy to be beaten away by us, why have we been here for so many years? I really don't know what the first emperor thought, he actually made him a khan, and our generation of great yuan was ruined in their hands like this! Na'er said helplessly, but no matter how helpless he was, he couldn't take his own soldiers to rebel, after all, the khan was their leader, and the khan's orders were supreme to the Mongol army.
However, the hundred-year-old Great Yuan is the most noble dynasty for Naier Buhua, in his eyes, even any dynasty of the Han people cannot be compared with the Yuan Dynasty, whether it is Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan, they are the gods in his mind, but unfortunately, the Yuan Dynasty perished, and in the eyes of the Han people, they are just remnants.
Nai'er looked at the Ming army in the distance without any hurry, reluctantly got on his horse and left the battlefield.
..............................................
"What's the report?" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, he hadn't heard of Zhu Di for a while, since Zhu Di was put in Beiping by him, he was more and more interested in Zhu Di, but he wanted to see what kind of good news this prince and that brilliant Ma Sanbao would bring in the north.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness has arrived at the Northeast Garrison, and there is news that they are about to start a war with the Northern Yuan Army in the Northeast! Moreover, it is the Fourth Highness who personally commands! The prince looked at Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully, and Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied look.
"Maybe this time, King Yan will suffer, but it's okay, he has had a better life for so many years, if he suffers a loss, it can be regarded as a kind of grinding, and his newborn calf's personality of not being afraid of tigers needs to be sharpened." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, and showed a satisfied smile, "That Nai'er doesn't spend, but it's not an idle person, this kind of talent, succumbing to the Northern Yuan, it's a pity, I want to see how Marven and Marven will achieve his previous agreement in four years!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty transferred Naier Buhua from the battlefield, and Naier Buhua left the battlefield, which was an absolute good thing for Zhu Di, after all, Zhu Di didn't have much experience, and even Xu Da didn't take too much advantage from Nai'er Buhua's hands.
