Chapter Eighty-Five: The Great War of the Western Domain (Fifteen, Two in One)

That Qianhu knew that the prince wanted to see him, and his heart was also very excited and excited, the ideals of the ancients were to learn literary and martial arts, and the goods were with the emperor's family. He practiced his skills hard because he wanted to work for the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, so as to exchange for his own glory and wealth. Now everyone knows that the prince has been founded, and the prince will be his boss in the future, and getting the boss's appreciation is what every employee dreams of.

The Qianhu walked up to Zhu Ao, gave a military salute, and shouted in a loud voice: "The last general has seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" Forgive the end of the armor on the body can not be fully saluted! ”

Zhu Ao looked at this Qianhu with a smile, and saw that he had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were violent, he must have real kung fu, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and said with a smile: "The general is only one of ten, he is very brave, and he has played the prestige of our army, and he dares to ask the general's name?" ”

After receiving the praise of the prince, the thousand households were very excited, and said: "The last general does not dare to be, the last general's name is Wang Huchen, and he is willing to serve the prince!" ”

"Wang Huchen." Zhu Ao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sure enough, it's a tiger general." This king now wants to break the formation of the Western Thieves, are you willing to be the striker? ”

"Breaking the formation?" Wang Huchen seemed to be a little unable to believe his ears, and said, "Is the prince saying that we are going to fight back?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhu Ao drew his heavy sword, pointed to the banner of King Hami, and said firmly: "We want to take the enemy's Chinese army directly!" ”

Rao is Wang Huchen was very brave, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Zhu Ao's plan, and said: "Lord Wang, our army does not have many troops, and it is ..... to go straight to the banner of the Hami army."

Zhu Ao glanced at Wang Huchen, who looked worried, it seemed that this kid didn't have Zhang Dabiao's stunned energy, thinking that he would only lead a battalion straight to the other party's command post, and said with a slight smile: "We don't have to rush to them, we only need to advance five hundred, oh, no, one mile, and the rest will be handed over to the gunners of the iron mortar cannon." ”

As soon as Zhu Ao said this, everyone understood at once, taking advantage of the fact that the Hami soldiers had just been defeated and retreated, and their foothold was not stable, they launched a surprise attack, advanced one mile forward, and then held it, so as to win time for the iron mortar gunners, and the remaining one mile of people did not have to go over, and the shells of the iron mortar cannon would be handed over to the Hami king.

This is an opportunity to make immortal achievements, how can Wang Huchen let it go, his blood is spurting, his dark face is flushed, and he shouted loudly: "Your Highness, just hand over the task of this mile to the last general, if the last general can't take it, he will never quit the charge alive!" ”

"Good! That's a good thing to hear! This king will give you 3,000 elites as strikers. It's up to you whether this king can play well in this battle, you have to do a good job for this king, and give Lao Tzu a long face! Zhu Ao shouted in an unquestionable tone.

"The last general commands!" Wang Huchen gave a military salute and shouted loudly. He immediately retreated, began to count the number of people, and checked the equipment.

The Hami army had just retreated, the formation had not yet been organized, and the opportunity could not be lost, Zhu Ao immediately ordered the artillery to prepare, and the Ming army's Shen Gong car artillery and attack artillery began to roar again, and the Hami infantry army that had not had time to retreat beyond the range of the artillery bombarded a person on his back.

The Hami army had just been defeated and retreated, and the formation was already very chaotic, and after such a blow from Zhu Ao, the soldiers were even more frightened and embarrassed.

The fighter plane was fleeting, Zhu Ao pointed forward with a heavy sword, and ordered loudly: "In this battle, our army has advanced without retreating, and directly takes the enemy's Chinese army!" Those who retreat regardless of the soldiers, behead! If the soldiers retreat regardless of the generals, the rear team will cut the front team! Fight the enemy! ”

The strict military law can not only maintain the discipline of the team, but also very uplifting to listen to, after the soldiers of the Ming army heard Zhu Ao's order, the brutality in their hearts rose up, and everyone shouted: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”

Seeing that the morale was available, Wang Huchen shouted loudly: "Brothers! Break the battle with me! Then he led the three thousand elites given to him by Zhu Ao, and rushed down the hillside with a roar.

The Ming army occupied a favorable position, condescending, rushed down from the hillside, as if from a high house, and soon rushed to the front of the Hami army. The Hami army was caught off guard and was instantly cut down in a large area, and the rest of the people began to run with their heads in their hands.

The prince of Hami, Timur, was furious, he had relied on this battle to show his prestige, so that his father looked at him differently, who knew that he actually fought like this, and scolded: "Don't retreat!" A bunch of cowards, all go back to me, resist! ”

However, the Hami army, which had been completely stunned, did not pay attention to the words of His Royal Highness the noble prince, and still fled backwards with their armor off their armor, and the formation was in chaos.

Seeing this scene, King Hami in the rear looked puzzled and said, "What's the situation?" With his little strength, he dared to rush down? Does he want to die with dignity? ”

Di Linazha, who was beside King Hami, frowned and shook her head, and said, "I don't think so, he must have some conspiracy." It's just that Erchen can't guess what kind of conspiracy he has. ”

It's really bullying people who don't have TV to watch.

King Nami suddenly let out a sullen sigh and said with a straight face: "What conspiracy can he have?" Could it be that just because of him, people still want to rush over? ”

Di Linaza shook her head, she didn't think that Zhu Ao could break through the military formation of their Hami army, but she still couldn't guess what Zhu Ao wanted to do, and said to Nahuri, the king of Hami beside her: "Father, no matter what, stop them first." ”

Nahuri, the king of Hami, nodded, and said to his younger brother Ankh Timur with an expressionless face: "You send cavalry to raid the two wings of Zhu Hao to help Tohan stabilize his position. ”

Ankh Timur was very reluctant to wipe his nephew's buttocks, in his heart, he hoped that his nephew would be defeated and his prestige would be greatly damaged, which would be very beneficial to his future plans, but he did not dare to disobey the will of King Nahuri of Hami now, put his right hand on his chest, bent over, and said expressionlessly: "Brother obeys!" Then he roared out with his cavalry.

Although Zhu Ao arranged protection on both flanks, they still felt a lot of pressure in the face of the roaring cavalry, and the frontal attack was also affected and delayed.

Seeing that the cavalry had come to support them, Hami's infantry did not care about the breath of the battle, and the army was relieved, reorganized its defenses, and began to block the attack of the Ming army.

"Damn! It's less than forty paces away! Wang Huchen's heart was on fire, he was only fifty steps away from establishing immortal merits, and these fifty steps had to be taken no matter what.

Wang Huchen wielded a big knife and slashed the soldiers of the Hami army like a madman. The shields of the Ming and Hami armies clashed with each other, the spears staggered with each other, and each tried all his might to kill the other.

Every Ming army knew what it meant to them to abandon the high ground to storm the enemy's position, except that victory was death, so each of them had no distractions and only thought of killing the opponent in front of them, so everyone rushed to the enemy desperately like a beast that had been hungry for days. This is the magic of putting oneself to death and then to life in the art of war.

The formation of the Ming army is that the sword and shield soldiers are at the front, with shields against the opponent, and if the opponent is knocked down by them, they will mercilessly swing their swords and send him on the road. Behind him, the pikemen stabbed in the gaps in their shields, stabbing whoever counted. The crossbowmen and firecrackers put cold arrows in the back, the crossbowmen shoot arrows upwards, and the firebolts raise the firebolts above their heads to attack the enemy in front of the sword and shield soldiers.

It was by relying on such a formation, strict military discipline, and the spirit of death and lifelessness that the Ming army attacked step by step, and finally reached the predetermined position after paying huge casualties and efforts.

Seeing that the banner of the enemy army was still there, Zhu Ao was glad that they had not reacted yet, and immediately ordered: "Quick, iron mortar cannon!" ”

The ten iron mortar cannons immediately entered the position, because the artillery in the early Ming Dynasty was not high, there were no aiming tools, and where the shells hit all depended on the experience of the gunner, so Zhu Ao did not expect to be able to kill the opponent's headquarters with one shot. He divided the ten mortars into two groups, each group of five, the first group first test fire, hit better, the second group did not hit and then adjust the gun body according to the shooting effect of the first group, be sure to hit, otherwise all the mortar gunners are engaged in military law.

The shells of the mortar cannon are fired upwards, and the recoil is all unloaded to the ground, so there is no need to bury the gun carriage in the ground in advance to prevent the recoil from shaking the cannon body away, as is the case with the attack gun.

After the first group was debugged, Zhu Ao looked at the banner of the enemy army in front of him like a torch, and shouted: "Release!" ”

Five large lead bullets immediately roared up, and at this moment, Di Linaza seemed to understand Zhu Ao's intentions, and shouted loudly: "Father, go away!" Get out of here! Then he grabbed King Hami and flashed aside.

At this time, five large lead bullets that could destroy the city wall smashed down with lightning speed, and the guards around King Hami were knocked on their backs. Part of the wooden stake on which the Hami army planted the banner was also smashed, and the banner began to tilt.

Nahuri, the king of Hami, was very glad that he had a clever daughter, otherwise he would have been smashed into meat sauce just now.

Although Zhu Ao didn't know whether he had killed King Hami or not, he could clearly see that the enemy's banner was crooked, and he was very excited, and ordered the second group of iron mortar gunners, saying, "Quick, blow up their banner for me!" ”

Since the shells fired by the first group of iron mortar gunners were used as a reference, the second group of iron mortar gunners slightly modified the gun body and aimed at the target. With a loud bang, five more buckshots smashed into King Hami's original command position. This time, two buckshot bullets hit the wooden shelf supporting the flag, and the flag collapsed with a bang.

The ancients did not have modern means of communication, and when they started a war, the backbone of the whole army was the banner of the main general, and there were too many examples of the rout of the whole army due to the banner being cut down or blown down by the wind.

When the Hami army saw that their king's banner was blown up, the morale of the army was suddenly in turmoil, and many people had no heart to fight down and began to retreat. In addition, the unkind Ming army began to fan the flames and shouted loudly: "Kill King Hami, kill King Hami!" "No one in the chaotic army knows whether the king of Hami is dead or alive, looking at the appearance of his banner, most of them are dead, and the Hami army no longer has the intention of fighting, so it collapses.

The Ming army was like a bamboo, and broke several military formations of the Hami army. Seeing his men scurrying around like headless flies, Na Huri, the king of Hami, stamped his feet angrily and shouted, "A bunch of cowards! Give me all on top! ”

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Di Linaza knew that the situation was irreparable, so she hurriedly grabbed the arm of Nahuri, the king of Hami, and said loudly: "Father, the situation is irreparable, let's withdraw quickly, if the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, we can't withdraw if we want to." ”

Seeing that he was about to succeed, he didn't expect to be beaten by the other party with a beautiful defensive counterattack, Hami Wang Nahuli was very unwilling in his heart, but he was also a veteran of the battlefield, and he knew that at this point, there was no possibility of fighting on his side, and the top priority was to retreat quickly, otherwise it would be as Di Linaza said, when the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived, he couldn't withdraw if he wanted to.

But there must be someone to break the retreat, Hami King Nahuli looked around left and right, and saw that the generals around him were basically gone, with a melancholy face, this group of kings and eight lambs, see how Lao Tzu will clean them up after he goes back.

Di Linaza saw her father's thoughts, took the initiative to ask, and said, "Father, you can withdraw quickly, and your sons will be cut off for you!" ”

Thinking of letting his beloved daughter face the fierce Ming army, King Hami's heart ached for a while, but he didn't have the courage to break off, his daughter's life weighed his own life, and he still stubbornly said: "Don't fall in love with war, after completing the task, retreat quickly." ”

Di Linaza nodded, her eyes full of determination, and shouted to the more than 2,000 personal guards who were guarding them and had not yet fled: "Warriors, the time has come to serve the country, follow this princess and kill the Ming army!" ”

More than 2,000 people are not only the guards of King Hami, but also the brain-dead fans of Di Linazha, as a warrior, they have long been ready to sacrifice themselves at any time, what they never expected is that today they can actually follow the princess who they have always admired to rush a hand, it is worth dying! Suddenly, as if beaten with chicken blood, they shouted in unison: "Serve the princess!" Serve the princess! ”

The Ming army, which was killing people and advancing like cutting vegetables, was suddenly blocked by a force in front of them that was in strict formation and had strong combat effectiveness. Wang Huchen, who rushed to the front, was very experienced, and knew that this was the other party's broken back soldier, and shouted: "This is their broken back soldier, kill them, and wipe out all the western thieves!" ”

These Western feudal soldiers dominated by the Hami army made many Ming troops suffer, the Ming army hated them to the core, and was chopping melons and vegetables to vent the anger in their hearts, but they didn't expect that someone would dare to ruin their good deeds, and every Ming army had a lot of anger in their hearts, and they held their breath and rushed towards the two thousand guards led by Di Linazha.
