It was Zhou Zhengren, the commander of the Kaiping Zhongtun Guard, who led the army to intercept the back road of Shutanle, and he took the initiative to ask for help in this battle, and Zhu Di gave him a heavy task after weighing it.

Zhou Zhengren did not live up to Zhu Di's expectations, he took the lead in the front, and under his leadership, the soldiers were deeply encouraged, roaring wave after wave rushing towards the Mongols. In order to flee for their lives, the Mongols also launched a fierce charge, with drums rumbling, horses' hooves, shouts and killings one after another, and the two sides were soon strangled together.

At this time, Zhu Di led the army to arrive, saw that the Mongols had been surrounded, and raised the order flag firmly and forcefully in his right hand, many soldiers did not wait for Zhu Di to wave the order and shouted and rushed up, and the Ming army on all sides strangled the Mongols, and Shutanle was desperate. The morale of the Ming army was high, the morale of the Mongols was low, and the generals of the Ming army were the first to set an example, and the Mongolian commanders only cared about fleeing for their lives. The situation on the battlefield has changed from fighting to one-sided slaughter.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhu Di ordered: "Shout from the front, those who surrender, don't kill, and those who resist die." ”

Zhu Di's order soon reached the front line, and the Mongols surrendered one after another, and in this way, more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry became Zhu Di's prisoners. In this battle, Shutanle's entire army was annihilated. He died in the rebellion.

Zhu Di experienced the taste of victory for the first time as the commander of the whole army, it was a kind of pride from the heart, involuntary joy, riding on the horse and shaking involuntarily, every inch of his skin was excited, every pore was happy, and his war horse kept snorting in a low voice, which seemed to tell the joy of victory.

However, Zhu Di's joy did not last long, when he saw the corpses of the fallen soldiers in front of him and the painful and tragic conditions of the wounded soldiers, Zhu Di's joy was immediately washed away, he passed by one wounded soldier after another, those soldiers had blood on their bodies, there was no victory smile on their faces, only desperate eyes, their broken limbs, distorted expressions, and painful moans, which made Zhu Di realize the cruelty of war.

"The whole army will rest and recuperate, make every effort to treat the wounded, pay close attention to counting the soldiers who have died in battle, and go back to double the pension." Zhu Di can only comfort himself with doubling the pension, and can only use it to soothe the wounds of the soldiers.

From the mouth of the captive, Zhu Di got important information that Shutanle's army was a partial division, and the real main force had gone south to attack Beiping. Zhu Di, who learned the news, was very excited, which made him stick to his established tactics even more. On the one hand, Zhu Di sent multiple scouts in the direction of Beiping to keep abreast of the battle situation in Beiping, and on the other hand, he led the army to advance into the desert.

However, after three days of advancement, Zhu Di received Zhang Yu's battle report: encountered the main Mongolian force, won a small victory, annihilated thousands of enemies, and the enemy retreated north.

After reading the battle report, Zhu Neng stared at the map and was very puzzled: "Judging from the location where Zhang Yu and the Mongolian army met, the other party doesn't look like he wants to attack Beiping." ”

Zhu Di also had the same doubts, it stands to reason that with the speed of the Mongolian cavalry, if it goes straight to Beiping, it is impossible for the main army to appear in front of Zhang Yu three days ago.

Zhu Neng stared at the map and said, "The battle report was sent two days ago, and we fought four days ago. If Zhang Yu and they bite the enemy army, judging from the route of this enemy retreat, as long as I

They accelerated their advance and had a good chance of intercepting this enemy force. ”

Zhu Neng's words, Zhu Di's blood was boiling, and the previous battle completely inspired Zhu Di's confidence, making him firmly believe that without Li Wenzhong's banner, he could defeat the Mongols. "Ordered, the whole army marched hastily. Send out scouts, be sure to determine the location of the Mongols. Zhu Di's order was loud.

Timur did scratch his head, the Ming army of several thousand people was behind his own army, always maintaining a distance of ten or twenty miles, speeding up, the other party sped up, slowed down, the other party also slowed down, he stopped and set up a battle in formation, and the other party stopped and did not confront him head-on. But what made Timur even more uncomfortable was not these, these Ming troops did not fight with them during the day, but they frequently attacked at night, and there were more than one sneak attacks one night, sometimes a wave of sneak attacks had just ended, and they had just relaxed their vigilance, and the other party killed them again.

In order to deal with the sneak attack of the Ming army, Timur thought of many ways, such as secretly sending a small group of cavalry to counter harassment, such as suddenly turning the whole army, but no matter how he changed the route, the Ming army could always follow to the death, and the small group of cavalry sent out to counterattack and disturb did not come back. In short, no matter what method Timur used, he just couldn't get rid of this Ming army, even if he set up an ambush at night, the Ming army seemed to have predicted it in advance, and there was a rain of arrows at his ambush point, but he didn't get closer.

After a few days, there was a strange phenomenon, the retreating Mongol army in front could not escape with all their strength, but had to look at the faces of the pursuing Ming troops behind to determine the speed of escape. Timur found that the morale of the soldiers was getting lower and lower, and the injuries on his body did not improve at all, and his health became worse and worse.

In desperation, Timur left Dahulu to lead 5,000 men and horses to keep an eye on the Ming army, while he himself led a large group of men and horses to continue to retreat.

Although Dahulu was arrogant and arrogant, he was not stupid, he knew that he was staying behind as a cushion and cannon fodder, so after pretending to resist simply, Dahulu suddenly adjusted his route, and thousands of men and horses fled in the southwest direction.

The problem is in front of Zhang Yu, now that the enemy is fleeing in two ways, will he divide his already limited forces into pursuit? Still staring all the way down, the battle situation is urgent, Zhang Yu and Yao Guangqi Tang Hao held a very short military meeting, after the three of them discussed, they all agreed that although the delay of Dahulu was short, but Timur's army ran all the way, it is estimated that it has opened a distance of nearly 100 miles with Zhang Yu's army, and his own side has been fighting for days and days is also sleepy and lacking, now even if he recognizes Timur's main force to chase down, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up, it is better to give up Timur, and instead focus on the closer Dahulu, and made up his mind, Zhang Yu's thousands of men and horses followed Dahulu and chased and beat fiercely.

After Zhang Yu chased for two days, he found that the Dahulu army suddenly stopped, and sent scouts to find out that a large group of Ming troops appeared in front of Dahulu, and the banner should be the main force of the Ming army led by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhang Yu was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to contact Zhu Di, and ordered the whole army not to be repaired, and to be on standby, because he knew that once Zhu Di launched an attack, Dahulu was likely to flee in other directions, and he must be prepared to outflank the back road and continue the pursuit.

Zhang Yu's prediction was right, but what Zhang Yu thought of, Zhu Di also thought of, and when Zhu Di's scouts discovered the Dahulu army, they also found out

Zhang Yujun pursuing behind the Mongols. Zhu Di immediately deployed, and the whole army launched a siege of Dahulu from three sides at the same time, and at the same time ordered Zhang Yu to block the retreat of Dahulu's rear, and be sure to annihilate them all.

Dahulu is a tough guy on the bed, but he is a soft egg under the bed, when he found that he had a Ming army in front of him, he quickly turned around and fled towards Zhu Di's left flank, at this time Zhu Di's left flank deployment has not yet been completed, the encirclement has not yet been formed, if Dahulu desperately rushes forward, may not be able to rush through, may be able to break out of a way out, but Dahulu saw the Ming army and was frightened, made a 180-degree turn again, turned around and fled behind him, and after running less than 20 miles, he hit Zhu Di's right flank, At this time, Zhu Di's right flank had already been calmly deployed, and the whole column of the purge gradually pressed towards Dahulu like a boulder.

It was only at this time that Dahulu showed a trace of blood, he looked at the neat and thick formation of the Ming army with red eyes, and shouted hoarsely: "Rush! Carrying a saber rushed into the formation of the Ming army.

Due to the extremely low morale, plus hunger and sleepiness on the way have long exhausted the torture of this Mongolian cavalry, Dahulu's decisive charge has no stamina, with Dahulu's death, the Mongols' fighting spirit immediately dissipated, and the battle line immediately collapsed, and then there was the surrender of the people, and the surrender infected every Mongol who lost their fighting spirit like a virus, and then a large-scale surrender appeared, and then the whole army laid down its arms.

This is a complete victory without suspense, Dahulu 5,000 cavalry, less than 1,000 beheaded, the rest all became Zhu Di's prisoners, the team to guard the prisoners was several miles long, Zhu Di had never seen so many prisoners in his life, this scene made him deeply shocked, he felt the glory of victory, and began to think in his heart that he must send these captives to the capital, and hold a grand prisoner gift in the capital, he even saw his father standing on the head of the city with a joyful smile, and saw his father patting his shoulder eagerly, Trying to do it yourself: "The prince is weak, so you can do it yourself." ”

The only thing that made Zhu Di regret in this battle was that Zhou Zhengren was killed by the commander of Kaiping Zhongtun Guard, it is said that Zhou Zhengren insisted on commanding in the first line, in the face of the Mongol charge, he took the lead in supervising the battle in the front row, and was cut down by a Mongolian cavalry who did not want to die, the original injury was not critical, and the injury was not serious, but the situation quickly took a turn for the worse, Zhou Zhengren's face was black and purple, and his whole body began to fester, and the accompanying Lang Zhong took a look and determined that the wound was poisonous, obviously the Mongolian saber was fed with poison, Lang Zhong warned anyone not to touch Zhou Zhengren's body and to burn and bury it on the spot, just like that, Zhu Di and the others didn't even see Zhou Zhengren for the last time, and the general, who was appreciated by Zhu Di and had high hopes, was buried.

Zhou Zhengren's death, although Zhu Di felt sad, he didn't have too much time to be sad, because now there was a more confusing problem in front of him, and he had to think about it first: how to fight next? Is it to continue the all-army pursuit? Or the withdrawal of troops to return?

Zhu Neng smiled and pointed to the map: "Two big victories, the combat power of our army has already terrified the Tartars, and now our army is riding the power of a great victory, it is the time to sweep the steppe and level Mongolia in one fell swoop." Can't give the Tartar a chance to breathe, the worse he beats, the more they remember the pain, and the safer Beiping will be. ”
