Chapter 82: Fate and Chance (6)
Dead friends, immortal poor friends, is the law of survival for the vast majority of people.
Zhang Fu is no exception.
The cries, screams, and cries for help of the Mongols did not shake Zhang Fu's mood in the slightest, and he held the telescope with an indifferent expression, staring at the reaction of the Mongol army on the opposite side.
It's a matter of success or failure.
This is a fate-changing moment that must not be missed, even at the cost of blood; What's more, it was the blood of the Mongols that was shed!
After being promoted to Dusi, Zhang Fu was not happy, because he knew that his career had ended here, although he was not yet thirty years old.
If you are promoted to the top, it is the Army Governor's Office and the three general departments - the General Staff, the General Supervision Department, and the General Quartermaster Department, but these departments are very difficult to enter, and the primary quality is the root of the red seedlings, and the absolute loyalty to His Majesty, but it is a pity that these two do not meet them, the former is a fact, and their roots are not red; The latter - unfortunately cannot be proven.
As for qualifications, Zhang Fu has no qualifications.
The other road is to make meritorious service and become a Ming noble, unfortunately, this road is also very difficult.
If you want to be a marquis, you must make meritorious contributions, and you need opportunities.
With his own level, he can't be the chief general in one aspect, and the imperial court will definitely send Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Geng Xuan and others as the main generals, and under them, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Timur died of an unexpected illness, and for himself, it was no less than his father who died in battle, and he felt that his future was broken.
After that, he instigated Warat and Eastern Chagatai to attack the Timurid Khanate, which made him feel that the hero was useless, because these things were done well, and they were all the credit of Fang Bin, and they had nothing to do with their own money.
So when he heard the news that the Dibao slave had fled to the West Sea and that the Great Leader of Warat, Eseku, was under house arrest, Zhang Fu couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and decided to attack the West Sea.
The sky is pitiful, after traveling thousands of miles, he actually met the Mongolian baggage and family members near Luntai, and obtained a large amount of grain and grass and tens of thousands of Mongolian old and weak at a very small price.
But this is not enough, it is also necessary to defeat the Mongols, defeat the Warats, and flatten this steppe.
Champion Hou, I Zhang Fu also want to do it.
......
"General, what should I do?"
Almost all the eyes of the Mongol soldiers were on Tanzania, their own people were getting closer and closer, and the Ming army was getting closer and closer.
The camp tent of the Mongols was very simple, with tents inside and a simple fence made of Lele carts and wooden stakes outside, which could only prevent a surprise attack and could not prevent the strong attack of the Ming army.
Tanzan clenched his hands and his teeth rattled, but he did not give the order for a long time.
Tanzan turned his head to look at the unfazed Warat camp five or six miles to the east, and a cool breath rose in his heart, could it be that Warat and the Ming army have joined forces?
Tanzan wasn't sure, but he couldn't take the risk.
He raised his hand: "Meng Ke, you go to the Warat camp and ask them to attack the Ming army, otherwise I will kill someone!" ”
"Murder?"
Munch was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and rode to the Warat camp.
"Amur, you give an order to the rear army, once Warat rebels, immediately start killing people!"
"Yes!"
"Whole army! Launched! Draw the knife! ”
"Kill the dog!"
"Save your family!"
War drums sounded, trumpets sounded, the camp gates opened, and the Mongol troops rushed out and lined up outside the camp.
With Tanzan's order, the Mongol army turned a corner like a torrent and attacked from the west, and at the same time he sent people to shout: "Tribesmen! Come on! Come on! ”
Looking at the appearance of the Mongolian prancing horse and horizontal sword, Zhang Fu grinned a sneer on his lips, what a childishness!
"Drive the Mongols to the west!"
The Hami guards rushed forward and slashed with their swords, and the Mongol herdsmen screamed so loudly that they had to turn west, far away from the Mongol army, during which they were hacked to death, trampled and killed.
Faced with their own people, the Mongols couldn't help but slow down.
Seeing this, Tanzan was anxious: "You can't slow down!" Fast! Fast! ”
It's a pity that no one listened to him.
At this moment, a thunderbolt sounded among the herdsmen, followed by another sound, another sound, and after more than a dozen explosions, the Mongolian herdsmen screamed again and again, and ran forward in a panic.
"Run!"
"Run!"
A Mongolian language sounded, and the herdsmen ran forward as if they had a backbone.
Zhang Fu pulled down his armor and raised his long knife: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Following Zhang Fu's order, the black-armored cavalry fanned around the running herdsmen and killed the Mongol army, while Hamiwei continued to drive the Mongol herdsmen towards the Mongol army.
In an instant, the Mongol herdsmen rushed into the Mongol army, and at the same time the Mongol army was surrounded on three sides by the Guards and Hamiwei.
A massacre has begun!
Although the Mongol army is good at fighting, it can't do anything in the face of its own people, because there may be its own relatives among them, and even if they want to fight their way out, it is not their own relatives, which does not mean that they are not other people's relatives.....
The Warat army watched in amazement as the battle took place for miles away, the elderly, women, and even children were trampled into meat sauce by the horses' hooves, and the fierce Mongol army was slaughtered like puppets, or they were killing each other......
Looking at this scene, Samur couldn't help but have his liver and intestines broken, his heart was like a knife, he screamed, spat blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground!
Sumenfu, the commander of the Waravan cavalry beside him, hurriedly ordered someone to help Samur up, and at the same time ordered the camp gate to be closed and not allowed to fight!
......
The massacre did not last long, in less than an hour, Tanzania's 20,000 cavalry lost most of them, the main general Tanzan committed suicide in despair, the rest dismounted and surrendered, and the old and weak women and children suffered more casualties, and the blood stained this battlefield red.
This battle is known as the "Battle of Luntai".
And Zhang Fu also went down in history as a "tire butcher".
Zhang Fu's cruel methods shocked the Esekku and Warat armies, and after the war, Zhang Fu took advantage of the situation to reorganize the Warat army, and with the Mongol army, Zhang Fu's strength increased to 30,000.
But Zhang Fu did not attack the West Sea, but chose to repair in Luntai and wait for the arrival of Dibaonu.
......
Two days later, Dibaonu arrived in Luntai and saw the tragic scene of the battlefield, and the Mongol army was greatly defeated.
In the next two days, Dibaonu tried to attack, but the Mongol army had no fighting spirit, and the Warat army was half-hearted, and Dibaonu fell into despair, and could only drink every day to drown their sorrows.
Five days later, on the night, the Warat army rebelled and attacked the Mongol army at night, and the Mongol army was defeated.
Zhang Fu did not participate in this battle, because he found out that the Wara Army also had its own Xiao Jiujiu.
Sure enough, Eseku proposed that he was willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and was willing to go west, but the subtext hoped that Zhang Fu would withdraw from Xihai and Luntai and return these places to Wara.
Of course Zhang Fu is unwilling, but it's a pity that Zhang Fu's military strength is insufficient, and if he turns his face, there is no absolute chance of winning.
And even the heavily battered Warat army did not dare to turn against the Ming army, and the matter fell into a stalemate.
On November 12, the ninth year of Jianwen, just when Zhang Fu was in a dilemma, Ping An led the army to Luntai.
