Chapter Forty-Eight: The Sorrowful Tatars
Facing the rising sun, the dew on the tips of the grass was dripping like a sweat in advance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The trees in the distance are a little misty, and the stagnant water stored last night has formed a thin mist in the forest under the steaming of the heat, and the morning sun will show countless golden pillars of light interspersed between the dense forests.
Zhu Houzhao's morale is very high today, first, the people who went to Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangzhou provinces to supervise the opening of the maritime ban have already left Beijing today.
On the other hand, it was about this bet with the Tatars.
In order to support the scene, Zhu Houzhao deliberately transferred all the men and horses of the three major battalions in Beijing, and at this time, more than 10,000 Ming soldiers had gathered on the school ground, and the red-robed spear queue looked like it was a bit mighty.
In particular, the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion have been specially trained for many years under Zhu Houzhao's first care, and they are much more brilliant than other troops.
At this time, the Tatars did not know why they had not yet arrived.
Zhu Houzhao was bored, and suddenly wanted to emulate the old things of Yongle.
I think that when Emperor Yongle met with more than 20 foreign envoys in the Huaihua area, he actually held a military parade of more than 100,000 people, which directly frightened the envoys of Timur who were extremely arrogant and refused to bow down.
I don't know which small country in Central Asia came from this grandson kowtowed to the ground, completely ignoring "there is no such custom in our country."
Since then, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has skyrocketed, and all parties have called the ministers and tributes.
Tsk, it's rare to have a chance today, although the number of people is a little smaller, but it can be used improvised.
At that moment, taking advantage of the fact that the Tatars did not know where they had died, Zhu Houzhao was busy to conduct military exercises.
Yu Mingxiao also came to join in the fun today, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao was so interested, he hurriedly started to be a announcer like he usually played in the house.
"The first to play are the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, this is a force with a long history, they galloped the world with Emperor Taizu and created immortal achievements!"
Yu Mingxiao's voice was not loud, and it could only barely reach the ears of people within a few meters of Zhu Houzhao's surroundings, but it seemed to have a kind of magic that made everyone naturally remember the glory of Grandpa Tai's first establishment of the Divine Machine Camp.
Zhang Yi didn't dare to slack off, and took out twelve points of spirit.
I saw that as soon as he waved the flag, the three thousand six foot soldiers were immediately divided into six phalanxes, large and small, scattered on the school field, and the shotguns were quickly aimed ahead.
On their flanks were two armies of 500 men each, marching on horseback to guard the phalanx of foot soldiers, carrying the famous three-eyed god gun.
In the open space where the infantry phalanx was scattered, the "Tiger Cannon", "Swarm of Bees", "Fire Dragon Car" and other standard equipment were neatly displayed in the deliberately exposed space of the infantry phalanx.
With Zhang Yi's order, the Huwei cannon fired first, and the mud in front of him suddenly flew like rolling thunder.
First the cannons, then a swarm of rockets, then shotguns, fire dragon cars. As the units fell in layers, the range of fifty paces in front of them was completely covered by the fire of the Shenji Battalion.
This is the tactics that Zhu Houzhao taught Zhang Yi to fight against cavalry, that is, to start attrition from a distance, and use the distance to drag the enemy to death in the flaming hell step by step!
Today, almost all the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty who followed Zhu Houzhao to come, seeing such a momentum at this time, suddenly felt that the garrison in Gyeonggi had not yet rotted home.
Then a thousand cavalry began to shout and began to charge, and it was already time to harvest the wheat.
However, at this very moment, the Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared in front of the charge of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion......
This is exactly what Zhu Houzhao wanted, and he yelled at Battle, who came to see him on a horse: "Presumably, Ambassador Battle also agrees with the regulations drawn up by this prince, let's choose the right time to collide, and the competition between the thousand cavalry troops will start now!" ā
Battle opened his mouth to say something, but Zhu Houzhao quickly pretended that I couldn't hear you and you agreed, and gave instructions to attack.
Zhang Yi's side immediately comprehended, and the horn and drum of the attack rumbled.
A thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had already picked up their speed, howled non-stop and rushed towards the Tatar camp, while the other more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ming army who were watching the ceremony on the side roared loudly, and the momentum was almost monstrous.
There was a panic on the side of the Tatars.
As the elite cavalry of the Tatars, many Tatars subconsciously increased their horse speed after being charged.
At the same time, he had already held the knife in his hand tightly, but his arm was extremely sore, and he couldn't lift it out after lifting it several times.
And some were even more unbearable, the horses under the buttocks actually fell down on all four legs under the impact of such a momentum of the Shenji Battalion.
There are also Tatar soldiers who have been riding on horses and have been struggling to maintain a **** posture, with all kinds of deformities and strange shapes.
The confrontation between the cavalry is about a momentum, and if the momentum is sufficient, it will be indomitable, and if the momentum is weak, it will collapse for thousands of miles.
At this time, it was the time when the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion was imposing, where would they let go of such an opportunity, and rushed into the Tatar cavalry with the three-eyed eye-pin gun.
In just one shot, there were hundreds of Tatar soldiers who were inexplicably hit by the move, and they were smashed and bled out.
Everyone was dumbfounded, when did the Tatars become so weak, and they were beaten like this by the fire cavalry of the Shenji Battalion, who had always been the weakest of the weak chickens.
Battle looked deplorable. I have made an appointment for today's competition, and there is no possibility of changing the date.
However, yesterday, I don't know what happened, all of a sudden, thousands of people were in high spirits, and they couldn't stop them, so they had to the horses.
The most embarrassing thing was that there was not a single woman in the Tatar camp. There is a Tatar **** who does not give money and kills people, and the girl in the capital will definitely not come to this place again.
So on that ridiculous night, a thousand Tatar men and three thousand Tatar horses spent a miserable time that all of them will never forget.
You know, it's not just people who need water, it's also horses!
It was only half an hour's work, and all the Shenji Battalion riders were very tired and threw their arms.
More than 1,000 Tatar men were not spared, and all of them were beaten into pigs' heads.
"Ambassador Battle, keep our promise!" Zhu Houzhao said with a mockery.
Battle nodded helplessly and signed the paperwork: "If you want to lose the bet, we will go back and start the mutual market." ā
But Zhu Houzhao didn't let him go, but took out a stack of notes from his arms, and the top one was still glued with blackened blood.
He threw the notes in front of Battle one by one, and said coldly: "This is the debt you owe, a total of 500,000 taels, when are you going to pay it back?" ā
Battle looked at the IOUs in embarrassment, he knew about it, and said, "We don't have any money anymore!" ā
"Then use other things to pay off the debt, our girl's blood can't be shed in vain!" Zhu Houzhao shouted loudly: "Zhang Yi, confiscate all the Tatar horses and strip off all the clothes!" ā
More than 10,000 people rushed up, and in an instant, the Tatars who had no power to resist were stripped away, and even the clothes on Battle's body did not let go after receiving Zhu Houzhao's affirmative looks.
"This is the Tartar horseman who is as fearful as a femme fatale in your eyes?" Zhu Houzhao pointed to the white-haired pig-like Tatars all over the mountains and fields, and sneered at dozens of Ming officials.
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao whipped his horse and whipped away.
