Chapter 636: Twenty Years

Twenty years is enough to change a lot of things.

These 20 years are the 20 years that Zhu Di reigned in the world; These 20 years are the 20 years of military achievements and achievements of famous generals in one fell swoop; These 20 years are the 20 years of peace in the world, known as the prosperous era. However, for the people of Duoyan Sanwei, the past 20 years have been 20 years of hope, disappointment and even despair.

Duo Yan Wei, Tai Ning Wei, Fu Yu Wei, this is the title given by Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Hongwu. As for these Mongols, they have always called themselves Uliangha, Ongniut, and Uziyat. The three worlds lived in the east of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and since the Ming army of the Hongwu Dynasty went out of the fortress several times, they fell into an isolated and helpless situation, and had to surrender, so they were compiled as Duoyan Sanwei. However, they who belonged to Daning got the best opportunity when Zhu Di raised troops and was in trouble.

Lent 3,000 elites to fight the world with Zhu Di, and when the next day the King of Yan ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven, he cut the land of Daning for Sanwei to graze!

The leaders of the three guards believed in this promise, and even more longed for that large area of fertile pasture, so they each sent their strongest people to the south with the Ming army. However, the world was fought back, and the Ming army also withdrew almost all the military horses from Daning, but Zhu Di, the ancient city of Daning, did not allow them to enter, and the so-called ceding was only half fulfilled at most. As a result, the disgruntled Sanwei repeatedly disturbed the border with the in-laws of the Asute Department Arutai, but last year suffered the worst defeat.

In autumn, the grassland sky is high and cloudy, the horses are fat and the cattle are strong, and the wildflowers dotted in the green grass in spring and summer converge the charm, and the felt tents are sprinkled in a vast world. Although everything is not as lush and vibrant as spring and summer, it reveals a sense of tranquility and remoteness everywhere. It's just that the wild sheep and hares that used to run around like joy are all gone, and although the high sky is as blue as ever, there seems to be an infinite haze in the intoxicating blue.

Although it is said to be a direct attack on Daning, the brigade of the three guards has now passed the Hara Loop. At this moment, the leaders of the three guards gathered together, surrounded by a circle of guards outside, and immediately discussed the matter.

Although they are close in blood and have the same spirit, the strength of the Duoyan Wei Wuliang Ha Department occupies an overwhelming advantage, so once a major matter is discussed, it has always been the leader of the Wuliang Ha Department, Hal Wu, who is in charge. He is the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Yan Guard, and since the death of another big chief, the three departments have always been in charge of the affairs of the three departments. Glancing at the whispering crowd around him, he raised his right hand aloft.

"Last year, we lost to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and we survived by enduring humiliation and pleading, and today, in order to survive, we have to recruit all the soldiers and horses of the three divisions together again. The throne of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was won for him by our Sanwei warriors, but we did not get Daning, on the contrary, the emperor has now sent a large army to rebuild the city! Once the Ming army takes root here, we will probably be driven to the coldest place in the north again! For the sake of the future of the three parts, this battle must be won today! ”

"Win, win!"

"Uliangha, Uliangha!"

The people of the Duoyan Wei Wuliang Ha Department immediately shouted loudly, and there were not a few people who echoed the other two departments. And at this time, Hara Hasun, the son of the Ha'er Vulture, said: "The Ming Dynasty has the world, even if the Arutai Taishi promised to lead the army to attack in the rear and attack from both sides, but there is still no very good chance of victory. This is the largest military force that our three guards can gather, but whether it is Arutai Taishi or us, we have all been defeated under His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Shut up!" Ha'er Wu was immediately furious, pointed at his son's nose and scolded, "Don't mess with the army's morale, get out!" ”

Seeing that most of the people around him were full of fanaticism, Hara Hasun had to withdraw from the tent. When I got outside, I saw many tribal warriors arranging their bows and arrows, washing their horses, and talking loudly, and I couldn't help but feel even more heavy. His father named him Hara Hasun in honor of the famous prime minister of the Great Yuan Chengzong Dynasty, and he, like that Hara Hasun, was very interested in Confucianism in the Central Plains. Even if he is not proficient in learning, he understands a basic truth.

Even if they really reoccupied Daning this time, even if they attacked and killed the Ming Emperor who posed the greatest threat to Mongolia this time, but, once Arutai was done, he could flee north, and then use the banner of killing the Ming Emperor to order all the departments to return to his banner, but the Wuliang Ha Sanwei was only tens of thousands of people together, and the previous losses were heavy, and the six thousand people this time had been made up with great difficulty, even if the bitterness was defeated, how could they withstand the Ming Court sending troops to retaliate, was the tragic lesson not enough?

"The Ming army is here, and the Ming Emperor has already come......"

A frightened shout came from afar, causing an uproar everywhere. For a while, the tribal warriors who were still in high spirits just now suddenly made a commotion, and Harahasun, who had participated in the great battle last year, trembled all over. Loud cheers, neighing horses, the clash of weapons...... It was as if even the sound of people's heartbeats was mixed in with these chaotic sounds. It wasn't until the centurions hurriedly reorganized the army that the brigade gradually cleaned up. In a moment, the leaders came to the front row.

"How could it come so quickly? According to the plan, when we arrive at Kuanhe, we should be just in time to meet them! ”

"What if Master Arutai doesn't come over in time!"

"The Ming Emperor always leads a large army, and there is also that British Gong Zhang Fu behind us!"

Due to the unexpected speed of the Ming army, there was a dispute among the leaders of the three guards. When he heard these incongruous voices, he could only put out the posture of the big leader and pressed it down, and ordered the army to be ready for battle, but his heart was full of ups and downs. Just last year, Sanwei just lost more than 100,000 cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of young people, if it is defeated again this time, then it is likely to collapse. However, in the vast grassland, countless tribes have died out, so he has to take a gamble.

The ambition of the Warat Gulos tribe is very high, and when he is now bent on competing with the Xianyi King Taiping and the Anle King Bald Polo for the dominance of the Warat, Arutai can draw his hand to cooperate with them, if they win this time, then with this prestige, they can take the opportunity to go south to plunder, and then take advantage of the Ming army not to dare to send troops in winter, gather those small tribes who are worried about the winter, and go west to kill Warat by surprise. As long as they can get the hegemony in the steppe, when the new Ming monarch ascends the throne and the internal instability, the previous crisis can not only be resolved, but they can also become one of the forces that dominate the whole of Mongolia.

Arutai is using them, but they have to be used, Uliangha is too small!

Thinking of the bright prospects for the future, Har Wu suddenly left those worries behind. However, just as he shouted and attacked, a billowing black line had already appeared in the sky. There was a look of fear on his face, and he didn't even have to look at the clothes of those people to guess who it was.

In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Zhu Di almost subconsciously picked up the bow and arrows hanging next to the horse. He drew a feathered arrow from his quiver, and his thumb landed on the bowstring. At that moment, he had completely forgotten the fact that he hadn't touched the bow and arrow for a long time, and he shouted when he aimed at the target, and immediately used all his strength.

"Kill!"

The guards on the left and right couldn't stop it, and they were all shocked at this time. At this moment, the bow suddenly opened like a full moon, and suddenly, the feathered arrow was like a meteor, with the sound of the whirring wind into the army of Uliangha. Zhang Yue, who was more than half a horse behind Zhu Di, saw that the Son of Heaven was red, and he didn't know that Zhu Di, who was over sixty years old and had just passed a serious illness, was reckless. As soon as he was distracted, he heard the sound of countless bowstrings ringing in his ears, and he didn't know how many arrows flew out.

Behind Zhu Di was the cavalry under the 3,000 battalions directly under the Beijing camp and the elite of the Imperial Horse Prison Army, although there were only 5,000 people, but at this moment, following Zhu Di directly into the enemy formation, the morale was extremely high. Liu Sheng and Chen Mao had already commanded the two wings to break to the front and protect the emperor in the array. In a flash of lightning, the army slammed into the army of Uliangha like spears.

Chen Mao, who followed Zhu Di's left flank, relied on his archery skills, and shot three arrows in one breath on the way to the attack. Liu Sheng, who is also conceited and brave, is willing to show weakness, so he naturally goes hand in hand with him. For a time, the coach was brave, and his subordinates were all fighting bravely.

Although the number of Wuliangha Sanwei is slightly superior, but last year's new defeat, and now it is Zhu Di himself who led the army to charge into battle, they were already scared of the fact that they were even more demoralized, for a while, even those sparse feather arrows were already weak, and more people chose to lead horses to avoid when the army rushed into battle, so it was a mess everywhere. When the Ming army in the head was like a bamboo, after the shape of the front army was disrupted, it seemed that it was just a blink of an eye, and the Sanwei army was chiseled through the middle.

Because he was worried about the emperor, Zhu Di was surrounded by almost a dozen guards, and the small round shield of one color protected the emperor's body tightly and tightly, and even the feather arrows flying obliquely were also picked away. However, Zhu Di, who worked in the first battle, was not satisfied with such a result, he raised the new knife this time without thinking about it, and led the team to turn around again.

Although it is not that he has never seen blood, this kind of horseback assault is the first time for Zhang Yue. Naturally, he couldn't enjoy Zhu Di's kind of treatment, but with four guards firmly attached, he didn't experience much danger. However, after rushing back and forth several times, due to the rise of the killing, the Ming army lineup gradually became a little looser, and finally a fish that slipped through the net rushed directly in front of him. He quickly knocked over one with a sword, but unexpectedly, another person in the diagonal was about to come out, raising his long knife and slashing down. In an instant, he almost instinctively flicked his sword to block, and the inevitable sword brought up a spark, and suddenly deviated from the target.

Before he could react with the soreness in his right arm, a man galloped forward, swept his spear and picked it up, and forcibly picked the Mongolian cavalry to the ground, and then bravely blocked the front. Seeing that it was Zhang Bu, Zhang Yue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, when it was, he couldn't distract him, so he could only follow Zhang Bu and continue to rush forward, until the light in front of him suddenly brightened, and he rushed out of the enemy formation again, he saw where Zhu Di was, and hurriedly stepped forward. At this time, I saw that the army of the three guards had already retreated.

"Your sword is bleeding too?"

Zhang Yue didn't have the time to pay attention to the emperor's banter, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now that the Wuliangha people have retreated, the top priority is to rush to Daning quickly. The Uliangha people were stunned by the sudden arrival of the army, but it was difficult to guarantee that there were other soldiers and horses. ”

"I know that Yang Rongjin Youzi should have arrived at Xifengkou, they couldn't go with me last night, so they may be worried at this time!" Zhu Di has always taken these two people with him whenever he goes out over the years, but now that he doesn't see them, he is a little unaccustomed to them. As soon as he groaned, he shook his head and said, "Don't panic, first reorganize the army, and then find a few prisoners, I want to ask clearly!" ”

When Zhu Di and Zhang Yuezheng were talking, Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, who had always been at the forefront, turned around excitedly at this time, and gave a military salute on horseback: "Your Majesty, the army of Wuliangha has been scattered and retreated!" According to the scout's observation from afar, it should be Tai Ningwei and Fu Yuwei who didn't dare to consume their remaining strength here, so they fled in a hurry. The first evil is Duo Yanwei, do you want to pursue it? ”

Gently rubbing his arm, which was already a little sore, Zhu Di ordered in a deep voice: "You and Liu Sheng immediately reorganize the army, send someone to lead five hundred people to pursue at the tail, and make sure that the three guards can't organize the remnants of the army together." Also, send someone to see what's alive. The Uliangha people don't have that much courage, and Arutai must be close to the left, so you need to be on guard! ”

After a fight just now, a brave general like Chen Mao was naturally aroused by his bloody nature and desire to fight for merit. However, he has been a striker many times, and he is not blindly unscrupulous, and he suddenly woke up when he heard this. Not only did he lose the excitement of the big victory he had just won, but he was replaced by a spontaneous coolness.

It must be known that now it is no more than the hundreds of thousands of troops that went out of the fortress the previous times, even if there are not many casualties in the first place, after sending 500 people, there are only more than 4,000 people at most now!

They are all generals who have led soldiers for decades, so Liu Sheng Chen Mao ordered that no pursuit should be allowed, and at the same time hurriedly reorganized the army for battle, and at the same time sent scouts to detect movements in all directions. Due to the rapid march of the night and the fierce battle just now, the soldiers were naturally tired and hungry, and at this time, taking advantage of the rare rest time, many people were eating dry food and drinking water on horseback. When several captives were brought up, Zhu Di noticed at a glance one of the young Mongolian men in ornate robes.

After summoning someone to interrogate him for a moment, he learned that this person was none other than Hara Hasun, the son of the leader of Duoyanwei, and immediately raised his eyebrows. Just as he was pondering, someone from the scouts he had just sent out finally rushed back.

As the lone probe horse approached, countless Ming soldiers saw countless tiny black shadows emerging from the sky. Seemingly chaotic black shadows rushed towards the sky, flying dust obscuring half of the sky. Whether it was Chen Mao or Liu Sheng, who had experienced a hundred battles, or Zhang Yue, who was nervous in his heart, they all looked at the emperor at this moment.

Zhu Di just spit out two words concisely: "Fight!" ”

He is still the same Zhu Di twenty years ago!
