On the fifth day of the seventh month, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang, announced that he had joined the rebels, and Henan was in chaos. King Su's army was so strong that by late July it had captured half of Henan.

However, the first large-scale war to break out was the war between Bu Lost Rabbit and Man Gui. Since the Ming Dynasty defeated the Eastern Tumut Department and rebuilt the Xinghe Institute and Kaipingwei, the Western Tumut Department was intimidated by the Ming Dynasty's military might and once again called Zhu Youxiao a tribute.

After Zhu Youxiao prepared to implement the order to cut the feudal domain, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, rebelled, and he first secretly contacted the other vassal kings, and at the same time contacted the border armies of Shaanxi. The officers of the border army in Shaanxi were very disgusted with Zhu Youxiao's plan for the reorganization of the army, and the soldiers under him had been short of pay for many years.

After gaining the support of King Qing, King Rui and the border army, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, learned Zhu Di's methods and secretly contacted the Mongolian ministries, hoping to borrow troops from Mongolia. And Zhu Youxiao repeatedly defeated the Mongolian army and actively marched north, which made the Mongolian departments also very disgusted with Zhu Youxiao. At this time, King Su made a heavy promise, and his request for borrowing troops was first responded to by Eluchen, and he sent 20,000 troops to help King Su attack Zhu Youxiao.

And Bu Lostu, after getting the promise of King Su, also agreed to send troops to attack Mangui in Shanxi. Man Gui took a defensive position in the southwest of Jin, and the southwest of Jin was not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat, and all the 10,000 dragoons of the Longteng army remained in Datong Mansion.

After getting the news that Bu Lost Rabbit sent troops, especially after the Tiger Leaping Army defeated the Eastern Tumut Division, Chen Si and Zu Dashou were both knighted, and Man Gui was greatly stimulated, but Man Gui did not get Zhu Youxiao's order, and he had to stay in Datong all the time. This time, Bu Lost Rabbit sent troops, and Man Gui decided to give up the defensive position and take the initiative to attack, to annihilate the main force of Bu Lost Rabbit in the wild, to correct his name, and to fight for his title.

The location of the decisive battle between Bu Lost Rabbit and Man Gui was chosen at the foot of Chi'er Mountain near the original town of Yuwei. Drawing on the experience of the previous two failed battles between the Mongols and the new army, Bu Lostu did not take the initiative to attack this time, but prepared to hold on to Mangui.

"My lord, it seems that Bu Lost Rabbit is waiting for the adults to attack first." Adjutant Ma Dengyun said. Ma Dengyun is now the commander of the Dragon Teng Army's dragoons.

"The left and right flanks of the enemy occupy the advantage of the terrain, which is not conducive to the charge of our dragoons, so I ordered the left and right flanks to advance and bombard the enemy with artillery." Man Gui said.

"My lord, it's just that the infantry moves, but it's very much to maintain the formation." Ma Dengyun said.

"It doesn't matter, if Bu Lost Rabbit attacks with all his might, the dragoons will immediately catch up, and the general is going to use the cavalry to defeat Bu Lost Rabbit's army and completely extinguish Bu Lost Rabbit's ambitions." Man Gui commanded.

"No."

The left and right flanks of the Ming army were mainly composed of infantry, with two thousand dragoons on one side. After receiving Man Gui's order, the left and right flanks quickly changed their formations and turned into offensive formations, slowly advancing towards Bu Lost's army. The infantry artillery has a long range and great power, but due to transportation, Man Gui only brought a total of four, and the rest are cavalry guns and tiger squat guns. Although these four infantry cannons did not cause much damage to Bu Lost's army, they caused great psychological pressure on Bu Lost.

After seeing the Ming army change formation, Bu Lost Rabbit did not attack immediately, but after being attacked by infantry artillery, Bu Lost Rabbit finally couldn't help it. The left and right flanks of the Situmets army met at the same time.

The Situmert army also knew that a frontal attack on the left and right flanks of the Ming army would be a thankless task, and they quickly chose to attack from the weakly defended flanks.

"Dragoons on the left and right flanks attacked." When Man Gui saw Situmut's attack, he immediately ordered.

The dragoons of the Ming army also rushed out from the flanks of the infantry and met the cavalry of Situmut head-on. The dragoons of the Longteng Army were the earliest and the most elite of the new army, half of which were Mongols and half Han. Dragoons were armed with carbines, and after shooting, they could quickly switch to sabers.

Although the dragoons of the Ming Dynasty are called dragoons, they are very different from the dragoons in history, and the dragoons of the Longteng Army are even more so. The dragoons of the Dragon Teng Army had completed their redress, and the army was equipped with a carbine, a pistol, and a sabre, dressed in cotton armor and riding boots with spurs, more similar to the hussars of later generations. In the final analysis, the cavalry is a class of troops that is piled up with money.

The dragoon's carbine pistol had a longer range than the bow and arrow, and it could be the first to shoot at a distance of 180 meters, a distance that did not require precision, and was completely suppressed by the density of bullets. After the Situmites froze for a moment, they quickly began to counterattack with bows and arrows, the defensive performance of the Ming army's cotton armor was excellent, and coupled with the distance, it could block most of the bows and arrows.

The two armies soon fell into close arms. The cavalry of the Ming army was comparable to that of the West Tumuts, but the Ming army had the support of firearms, and the West Tumuts were stunned for a while. The cavalry of the West Tumuts on the left and right flanks each had 5,000, and under the impact of the 2,000 dragoons of the Ming army, they actually began to show signs of collapse.

Bu Lostu obviously didn't expect the Ming army's dragoons to be so powerful, and at the moment when he hesitated, Man Gui's Chinese army attacked. Seeing that the situation was not good, Bu Lostu chose to retreat without hesitation.

The whole war only lasted for half a day, and the Ming army took the initiative to retreat and won the victory. The army led by Bu Lostu withdrew until the original Yulin Wei stopped.

Considering the logistical supply and other problems, Man Gui did not pursue him, but confronted the original Zhenwei and Yulinwei's Bu Lost Rabbit.

Just when the fierce battle between Zhu Youxiao and the rebels was in full swing, on July 23, the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the sea overflowed in Zhejiang, countless people and animals were drowned, Jiaxing hurricane and lewd rain, and the residents of the coastal and suburban areas were drowned. Shaoxing is windy, the sea water goes straight into the county town, and the market can be boated. Shanyin, Huiji, Xiaoshan, Shangyu, and Yuyao were drowned, each in the tens of thousands.

Fortunately, the situation in the treasury is now beginning to improve, and the cabinet can complete the disaster relief without using internal funds, and after so many disaster reliefs, a complete set of procedures has been formed in the imperial court, so that there is no need for Zhu Youxiao to worry about such a thing, and the cabinet can completely cope with it.

The disaster was the biggest of the year, with tens of thousands of casualties, untold property damage, and countless people left homeless. Deng Yuhan took the initiative to invite Ying to join Wu Youxing's rescue and epidemic prevention medical team, he was influenced by Wu Youxing, and now has a great interest in plague research.
