Suddenly, there was a commotion, followed by the sound of war drums.

Zhu Zhanji looked up and saw that the Warat people who had just collected their troops had rushed over again.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was still in the front, and the emperor's guard of honor behind him was particularly conspicuous.

Without thinking too much, Zhu Zhanji understood that it must be the emperor's honor guard behind him that attracted the other party.

Even if they can't threaten the emperor, as long as they see the emperor fleeing in a hurry, they will boost their morale and hit the morale of the Ming Dynasty.

Following Zhu Zhanji, Yulin Zuowei commanded the servant Zhao Yongliang and the eunuch Li Liang, including Xuan Zhen, and they were all nervous. "Your Highness, please retreat for the time being, the enemy's formation this time is not small, and it is menacing."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "Don't go anywhere, never take a step back." Han Cheng, put up the flag! ”

The two armies on the left and right where he was were were the infantry formations of Dongshengwei and Yunchuanwei respectively, and the commanders of the two armies both knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Your Highness, the dragon body is important, please retreat for the time being, and wait for our guard sergeant to meet the enemy." ”

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Don't you have the confidence to protect Lonely? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped persuading and responded loudly: "Swear to protect Your Highness to the death." ”

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanji to use his guard of honor to patrol the camp, I am afraid that he had the idea of luring the enemy into the depths. Of course, this is not that Zhu Di wants to sacrifice him, if the hundreds of thousands of troops can't protect Zhu Zhanji, then what are they doing in the Northern Expedition!

He wanted Zhu Zhanji to experience the battlefield and train Zhu Zhanji.

Seeing the enemy galloping towards him, Zhu Zhanji's excited hands trembled slightly. Shouted: "Malay! ”

But at this time, no one dared to let him get on the horse, and a group of people hurriedly stopped him, and at least three rows of shield armor soldiers stood in front of him to protect him.

And the battle formations of Dong Shengwei and Yun Chuanwei moved forward, which soon left Zhu Zhanji and them behind.

This time to meet the enemy, the cavalry did not go out directly, but first dispatched the archers.

In the first round, the longbow is thrown. Only two arrows were fired at each of them, and the enemy soldiers were within a hundred paces. The archers were replaced by a group of short archers, and they began to shoot flat.

Under the rain of locusts and arrows of the Ming army, at least dozens of Warat cavalry were shot under their horses before they could be put into battle.

And their short bows shot less than two rounds, and then rushed to the front of the formation, causing little damage to the Ming army.

On a front about a mile long, the cavalry of the Warats did not think that they would be resisted by the infantry, and they were still charging hard.

They thought that they only needed to work hard to rush into the Ming army's army and capture the Ming grandson alive.

Because Zhu Zhanji was in front of the formation, the two guards had no choice but to move the position behind the horse trap forward, which caused the spear and shield soldiers in the front to lose their geographical advantage and could only use their bodies and spears to resist the impact of the horses.

However, even death did not frighten them, with Zhu Zhanji behind them, each of them bravely faced the enemy without hesitation, without flinching.

The Ming army resisted, and everyone disregarded their own life and death, entangled the cavalry that came from the impact, and used their weak bodies to resist the impact of hundreds of kilograms of horses.

The infantry held the first line, but at the same time, they inflicted heavy casualties.

Zhu Zhanji didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, because in front of the hundreds of thousands of troops, if he really fled in a hurry, the impact on morale would be even greater.

But seeing his soldiers die under the opponent's hooves and scimitars, he still couldn't control his anger.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was dispatched, and taking advantage of the fact that this cavalry was blocked by the infantry battle array, more than four cavalry units formed an encirclement from both sides and began to meet the enemy.

Cavalry fights rarely collide head-on, and they all use arcs to run fast to meet the enemy. But this time, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty sacrificed their speed, just to entangle this cavalry and wipe it all out.

The Warat cavalry, who remained on the hillside, saw that something was wrong and immediately blew the horn of retreat. Their attacking army quickly retreated while the encirclement had not yet been formed.

Zhu Zhanji saw Zhu Di's plan, and his idea was good. But this time, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was a little slower.

If you can hurry up for a few minutes, you can surround this group of enemy troops and besiege the city to send reinforcements.

Although the strength of the Ming Dynasty is stronger, the situation of the war is too passive.

It took a few months for the Ming to create a situation in which the Warats had to fight a duel with the Ming, but in this kind of battle, the Ming army was too passive.

Zhu Zhanji didn't have a very good way, because if he couldn't eliminate the Warat people in one fell swoop, but he hurt them, they would turn around and run.

In this boundless grassland, if they run, it will be difficult to chase them again.

However, no matter what, he was so passive that he was aggrieved. Even in modern times, he has never been so.

He must come back with revenge, or his thoughts will not be understood.

Just like Hu Mo at the beginning, he was humiliated, so he had to kill him to feel comfortable.

This time, there were more than 300 wounded in Daming, and the death toll exceeded 150.

And the number of deaths of the Warats is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty, which is the gap between cavalry and infantry.

This time, it was already noon to comfort the wounded.

returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Zhu Zhanji asked Zhu Di to fight again.

was lightly dropped by Zhu Di: "Ji'er will go to dinner first, Mahamu is more anxious than us." I'm afraid I'm going to face a decisive battle today, and you can't miss the chance to go into battle. ”

Back in his big tent, he hurriedly filled his stomach, not daring to eat too much, at most only seven points full before leaving his rice bowl.

Moreover, he took off his wire armor, which was strong and strong, but it was too heavy and difficult to move.

He's only sixteen years old now, he's not fully developed, and he's not completely dominant.

And his advantage now lies in his flexible skills and rich experience in killing and fighting.

Therefore, it is more advantageous not to wear this wire armor than to wear it.

When I really got to the battlefield, I really realized that after the two armies fought, the role of bows and arrows was not great.

For example, today's battlefield stretches for ten miles, and it is only a small-scale contact battle, and the scope of the battlefield is also one square kilometer in size.

In such a big belligerent environment, you have me, I have you, and we can only fight for each other's lives. No one has time to take a bow and arrow to shoot, because that will only make themselves a target.

So, as long as he doesn't go into battle at the beginning, he doesn't need armor at all, it's enough to have an inner armor.

Li Liang followed behind, wanting to persuade but not daring to persuade, he could only keep telling Xuan Zhen and Yiqingzi that he must protect his grandson.

This is just nonsense, Xuan Zhen and Yi Qingzi are completely dependent on Zhu Zhanji, and even Yang Zhangde and Han Cheng are like this.

If Zhu Zhanji has three longs and two shorts under their protection, I am afraid that all of them will be buried together.

During the time when Zhu Zhanji was eating, the musketeers of the 3,000 Shenji Battalion were secretly transferred to the left flank.

On the right flank, the Shenji battalion had two hundred cannons, thousands of gunners, and a Tatar cavalry that was no worse than the Warat cavalry.

Therefore, the Warat people have never dared to attack the right flank of the Ming Dynasty to avoid the bombardment of artillery.

This also added a lot of pressure to the left flank of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the reinforcement of the Shenji battalion, Zhu Di also sent 3,000 battalions to the left flank, and the middle road was based on the five military battalions, Zheng Heng's Xuanfu cavalry as the main force, and the infantry assisted.

In one day, Liu Jiang, who had returned from Sanhekou, and their forward battalion marched more than 100 miles. If the Warats don't fight quickly before they arrive, they won't have a chance.

Therefore, everyone knows that the war is about to officially start today.

The Warats retreated five or six miles, and they all dismounted to fill their bellies, preparing for the coming great battle.

Ma Hamu received the battle report from the scouts and knew that the 30,000 cavalry of the Ming Forward Battalion had arrived in his northwest in advance, blocking their way to retreat, and the shadow in his heart had expanded a lot.

But this battle had to be fought.

It was the Ming Dynasty that he took the lead in provoking, and wanted to unite his tribes with the help of opposing the Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can the orthodox position of the Tatars be replaced.

If he can't teach Da Ming a lesson, then these tribes who have now taken refuge in him will fall apart and turn to Arutai instead.

What's more, although there are many soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, he always believes that only the athletes of the grassland are the real warriors.

30,000 versus 500,000, although there is a huge disparity in strength, he did not think about annihilating the Ming army, but just wanted to teach the Ming army a profound lesson.

As long as the Ming Dynasty is hit hard, and then the Ming army has to be dragged back by using the vastness of the grassland, the Warat people will be victorious.

"Taishi, the two temptations have already shown that the left wing of the Ming Dynasty is slightly weaker. Wait for our army to blow up and deal heavy losses. In this way, it can give an explanation to the other tribes, and it can't be delayed any longer. ”

It was the king of Warazuo, Taiping, who was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply loved by Mahamu.

But Mahamu didn't answer, but turned to ask Tariba, who was sitting beside him. "What does the Great Khan think?"

Tariba is a new generation of Great Khan supported by Mahamu after killing the former Great Khan Benjamli, but he is not recognized by other tribes. He also needs a victory to gain the support of the other tribes.

"The Ming people are cunning, they deliberately camp the gods on the right flank, blocking our retreat to the east, so that we can only retreat to the west or north. Their left wing is indeed weak, but it is also a trap. ”

Mahamu laughed and said: "The Great Khan really saw it, but if the Ming dares to arrange it like this, he will have to withstand the attack of my iron horse." The left wing is certainly a trap, and even if we want to step into it, we must first block their strategy in the middle. So...... Peace obeys! ”

"Taiping awaits the instructions of the Grand Master."

"You lead 10,000 horsemen to attack the enemy's left flank, and kill the enemy."

"Obey!"

"The right king listens to orders!"

The king of Warat, Bald Soro, bowed down and said, "Babalsoro is here. ”

"Right King Wanqi attacks the enemy's middle lane, and he will not die or retreat!"

"Obey!"

"The whole army is repaired, and when the application is in the middle of the war, the whole army will be dispatched."
