In fact, Lu Zhen didn't know that even if the head of the heavenly prison really listened to him, there was indeed a way to meet the high-ranking Shangshu Shilang and convey the words to Hu Hu or Yu Qian, and it was already too late!

Because under this same night sky, the battle that will determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty in the next hundred years has come to an end!

In the wilderness, which was less than ten miles away from the fateful place called Tumubao, tens of thousands of fierce Mongolian cavalry were urging their horses to swing their swords at this time, constantly clashing back and forth, and cutting down the Ming soldiers as far as they could see one by one. At this time, the Ming army, whether it was a general, an official, or just an ordinary soldier, had completely lost the ability to resist in the face of the cruel slaughter of the Mongols, and the only thing to do was to hold his head and run away in order to escape with his life.

Just two days ago, when the Ming army came to this vicinity, a team of airships with the army found the Mongolian soldiers and horses ambushed in the valley in front of them - after all, it was a matter of the safety of the Ming Sheji and the Son of Heaven, so even in their own territory, the team's defense work was still quite in place.

However, even with the airship that Lu Zhen had prepared for the army earlier, such as a defensive weapon that could detect the enemy's location as soon as possible, due to the terrain, when they found the traces of the Mengren, it was still a little late.

After learning that there were indeed Mongolian ambushes ahead, this army of hundreds of thousands of people with the most elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty actually panicked!

These months of tossing and turning back and forth have already completely exhausted the morale of the army. And with the passage of time, the food and water supply of hundreds of thousands of troops has long been problematic, and only the Son of Heaven and officials can eat and drink every day, not to mention the food of ordinary soldiers, and even there is a shortage of drinking water.

And when they arrived near the civil fort, they had planned to rush to the water source in front of them to quench their thirst for many days. But as a result, the people on the airship received a warning that there was an ambush ahead, so it would be difficult to get water again.

The Ming army, which was already tired of the division, was even more chaotic, and finally the British duke, who had been in battle for a long time, made a decision and ordered the army to retreat to the Tumu Fort, so as to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

And the commander of our army, the dignified tomorrow Zhu Qizhen, was already stunned at this time, and he didn't know what to do at all. In his imagination, the situation of fighting with the Mongols should be to wait for himself to rush to Xuanfu, and after encouraging the morale of the army, he took the initiative to go out of the city, and then confronted the Mongols who arrived, so as to achieve a hearty victory.

But the reality in front of him slapped him hard in the face. It's just that this slap didn't wake up the young emperor, but completely blinded him, and he didn't know how to react at all. As for Wang Zhen, the prince of Wang Zhen, who kept coming up with bad ideas along the way and commandingly pressed the generals of the whole army, he was so frightened that he couldn't say anything at this time, and there was only one thought left, that is, to follow His Majesty the Emperor and try to ensure his own safety.

So, under Zhang Fu's timely intervention, the army began to be a little flustered, and even approached the small hillside of Tumubao in a chaotic manner. Many soldiers and other attendants of the emperor and officials fled up the hill in a panic and abandoned many of their honor guards and belongings, just to move forward faster.

This hasty action of the Ming army was soon noticed by the Mengren ambush soldiers. The one who was in the middle of it immediately sniffed the opportunity to attack: "At this time, the Ming army is in the most complete panic, although they have sensed our existence, as long as they attack immediately, they will definitely be able to defeat them!" ”

Thinking of this, the Warat Taishi naturally would not let go of this great opportunity, and immediately pulled out his scimitar, pointed diagonally ahead, and shouted at the tens of thousands of grassland cavalry who were already eager to try: "Warriors of the grassland, today is the best opportunity for us to defeat our long-standing enemies, re-enter the Central Plains, and restore the prosperity of the Great Yuan. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is in their array, follow me, kill! ”

......The Mongolian cavalry, who had been in ambush here for seven days, had already been a little impatient, but now hearing these words that encouraged the army, they were completely ignited with killing intent and fighting spirit. After a burst of shouts, the trumpets sounded.

Then, seventy or eighty thousand elite cavalrymen turned over their horses one after another, shouting, howling, urging their horses, and rushing towards the target in front of them at the fastest speed.

At this time, the Ming army was rushing towards the direction of Tumubao, when they suddenly heard the sound of horns from the side, and then the earth trembled, which made their hearts suddenly become more chaotic.

The procession, which had been moving forward in an orderly manner, was completely confused in an instant when they heard this movement, and then saw the large black oppressive enemy cavalry that suddenly emerged from a few miles away.

Everyone rushed forward, only hating his father and mother for giving birth to his two legs, and he didn't care if there were any officials and generals around him to command, even the emperor's car, everyone no longer took it seriously. A few cavalrymen, under the galloping of horses, actually crossed the dragon chariot of the Son of Heaven directly and ran up the hill at the fastest speed.

At this time, it also reflects the various problems of the Ming army. The 100,000-strong army of the Beijing camp should logically be the most elite existence in the world, even if it encounters a sudden attack, it should react quickly and meet the incoming enemy. But the result is that when the enemy suddenly appears and rushes towards them with a fierce attitude, the only thing they can do is to flee for their lives.

The finest weapons and armor they were equipped with were now a burden. In the process of fleeing for their lives, they threw a place like an abandonment, and they didn't want to use it at all, blocking the enemy, so as to do something for the safe passage of the Son of Heaven up the mountain.

Even the elite of the Beijing camp is such a performance, so we naturally can't expect the officers and soldiers of the guard station transferred from the local government to play the role of turning the tide and being the mainstay at this time. They have been exhausted in the past few months, and now when they encounter such a change, they naturally have to flee for their lives.

Moreover, even in the ability to escape, they were still a lot behind the elite of the Beijing camp, and they were soon left behind, and they could only cry and run forward, and from time to time someone fell and was trampled into a pulp by the comrades behind them.

But they were not the ones left behind, behind them were some of the most ragged armies. If you just look at the clothes and appearance, everyone will think that this is the most ineffective army, and once they come into contact with the enemy, they will inevitably be the first to rout.

But the facts in front of us show that they are the most trustworthy team. Because when the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and the local guard station only knew how to run around like lost dogs, this team of only a few thousand people stayed in place, and under the command and command of several generals, they quickly formed a defensive line in the direction where the Mongols attacked and killed.

This team, which has the least number and the worst equipment, but the most military-like team, is one of the Datong defenders who have been guarding the border all along. Before, they were only ordered to accompany the emperor to Xuanfu, and they were not welcomed along the way, not only did they never really meet the Son of Heaven, but even those soldiers in the Beijing camp always ridiculed them openly and secretly, and degraded them to worthless.

It is not until this critical juncture that these thousands of border army officers and soldiers, who are despised by everyone, finally show their far superior side to other armies. Even if it was a sudden attack, even though the enemy's strength was ten times that of their own, they were menacing, and they had many combat experiences, but they did not lose ground because of this. Under the shouts of their respective generals, they quickly formed a formation and stopped between the enemy and their own rout.

The Mongolian cavalry, who were rushing over with all their might, saw the appearance of the Ming army that had collapsed before they could make contact, and their hearts were even more ecstatic, and at the same time, they also recognized the weak nature of the Ming army again. It turned out that the Ming army, which he had always feared, was so vulnerable, and if he knew that this was the case, he should have raised troops to kill him earlier!

It was with such a belief in victory that when they saw the thousands of Ming troops blocking the way, these cavalrymen did not think much about it at all, and first released a rain of arrows in the sky with a cruel smile......

The Mongolian people were able to sweep the world more than 100 years ago, and even many countries on the continent of Europa only bowed to their subordinates, relying on this world-class cavalry and archery kung fu. Although they were on the back of the galloping horses and horses in a rapid sprint, the accuracy and speed of the arrows in their hands were not weakened in the slightest, and the arrows fell as accurately as expected into the formation of the Ming border army.

"Shieldman!" With a roar, a large wooden shield covered with cowhide was erected in front of the team, blocking the way of the rain of arrows.

However, the number of shields is still less. After all, their team is not meant to defend in place. At the same time, the Mongols had already shot at least three waves of arrows in the blink of an eye. Although most of the first round of flat fire was blocked by them with their shields, all the other arrows that came from their back fell into the formation.

For a while, the screams rang out, and the people also fell down.

At this time, the Mongol Iron Cavalry had already swooped down on them like a fierce beast preyding. Before the people arrived, Xueliang Scimitar had already arrived with the momentum of galloping horses.

There is no trickery, only face-to-face, and a hard-fought battle unfolds.

Although this Ming border army has mustered all its courage, but the strength of the two sides is too far apart, in the face of ten times the enemy's charge, and there is no geographical advantage to defend, the elite of the five thousand border army was instantly swallowed by the enemy's cavalry. And the Mongolian people didn't even stop, and with this momentum, they continued to chase and kill the Ming army that was fleeing in front!

Sometimes, things on the battlefield are so cruel that even if you have the heart to die, when facing the attack of a powerful enemy, the final result is only total annihilation......
