Chapter Seventy-One: Besieged
After destroying the Tatars, Zhu Shou soon gathered an army of 200,000 to attack the lair of the little Tatar prince.
The little Tatar prince disappeared, and the entire Tatar army lost its morale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And the grain and grass were burned by the dreadnought battalion more than half, and this attack will definitely fail. Xiao Yi took the lead in making a choice and immediately elected a new little prince, the previous little prince had no heirs, so Xiao Yi supported his younger brother Wu Limaru.
This benevolent brother has done something better than his brother, and his martial arts are better than his brother's, and his ability is stronger than him. He is also recognized as the number one warrior in the tribe! It is more convincing to choose him to inherit Tatar orthodoxy.
As soon as he took office, he received the news that the Ming army was attacking, and in this war, Uli Maru showed his strong military level and personally served as the vanguard to meet the Ming army.
Although the Tatars have just suffered setbacks, and their military morale is not as stable as before, they are relatively united, and there are so many good brothers who died under the sword of the Ming army, how can they not be angry and not want to take revenge, so although their military hearts are unstable, they have the belief that they want to avenge their brothers, so they feel difficult to fight with the Ming army.
The dreadnought battalion served as the vanguard, obviously feeling that the Tatars had suddenly become stronger, and thought that the Tatars had been preserving their strength, and this was their sharp force.
Xiao Yan supervised the battle in the rear, and he could clearly see the battle situation of the two armies, the Ming army was small, the Tatars were many, and the current Tatar combat effectiveness suddenly became so strong, seeing that it was not good, Xiao Yan wanted to order the withdrawal of the army.
The next moment, his eyes widened in froze, and his gaze was fixed in disbelief on the person in front of him. "How could it be him?" Some past events suddenly came to my heart, some painful and some happy.
"Mr. Xiao, withdraw the army quickly!" Su Qi roared and shouted, the Ming army suffered very heavy casualties, and if it retreated a little slower, it was likely that the final outcome would be the annihilation of the entire army......
Xiao Yan was immersed in the past and couldn't stop, and he couldn't hear Su Qi's roar at all.
"Hey!" Su Qi ran over and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder,
Xiao Yan glanced at Su Qi in surprise when she first woke up from a dream: "What's wrong?" ”
"Retreat! Otherwise, we're all going to die here. ”
"Good!" Xiao Yan nodded and ordered the withdrawal of the army. He didn't understand why that person was there, and why his eldest brother Xiao Xian had become a Tatar man......
The Ming army withdrew back into the small city, counted the number of soldiers, killed 500 soldiers, and wounded 300 soldiers. The total number of enemy casualties was 1,000.
Neither side got any benefits, which was unexpected by the Ming army, Xiao Yan sat in the camp tent and thought about Xiao Yan's affairs.
Zhu Shou held a joint meeting and united with the twenty-four Tatar tribes to prepare to attack the tribe of the little prince. The news of the twenty-four tribes quickly spread to the Central Plains, and Wu Limaru had just repelled Xiao Yan's troops, and just wanted to take advantage of the victory to take the small city, he got the news that the twenty-four tribes had descended.
At first, he didn't care, as long as he won the small city, he would take the entire Central Plains and then recuperate, and then wipe out the Ming army and traitors in the north, and then dominate the world.
After making up his mind, Uri Maru launched an attack on the small city with his whole army, and the small town was about to be breached, and Uri Maru also got the news that his lair had been breached, which hit him head-on, which surprised him very much.
He couldn't understand how the Ming army bypassed him to reach his hometown, and he couldn't understand how those small tribes that were defeated by himself could unite with the Ming army. As a descendant of Genghis Khan, did he want to betray him? Why did you oppress the Mongols as the golden aristocracy with the inferior Han Chinese?
He wanted to understand these Zhu Shou but did not give him time, and soon the Tatar lair was captured, but Zhu Shou did not strangle them all, but adopted a very merciful tactic, as long as he surrendered, he would give cattle, sheep and supplies. However, the strong men of the Tatars will follow the Ming army to the Central Plains.
Zhu Shou was also forced to adopt this method, the Tatars were good at fighting guerrillas, and they ran when they were fighting, and they fought when they were ready to rest, and it was precisely because of this that the Tatars have not been eliminated, and they have always been a big problem for the Ming Dynasty.
Only in this way did they not flee and did not fight guerrilla warfare with the Ming army. It can be regarded as a kind of appeasement, anyway, those cattle and sheep materials were also robbed, and some tribes used them to honor Zhu Shou. It's like giving it back to them.
They were already short of cattle and sheep supplies. In this way, they surrendered directly without a fight, and Urimaru almost vomited blood in anger when he heard the news, and a little favor bought them. What is returning to the Central Plains to restore the country and take revenge on the Han people, it's all bullshit.
Those lofty ambitions suddenly came to naught. Wu Li Pill wanted to lead the army to kill back to the nest overnight, Xiao Yi disagreed, he thought that he should not be rash at this time, but send troops to the Central Plains as soon as possible.
Wu Limaru was silent for a long time, but he still took Xiao Xi's opinion and continued to send troops to the Central Plains.
But soon he learned that the border area had been broken by the Ming army.
"What? 150,000 people did not block? "Urimaru is horrified,
Zhu Youzhu finally listened to Zhu Shou's words, announced Wang Shouren to the palace, and gave him an official to go to Hukou to wipe out the 150,000 Tatars there and break through the defense line there.
Wang Shouren agreed without even thinking about it, this was an opportunity, and his original dream would soon come true.
Wang Shouren easily broke through the line of defense when he got there, but it was actually very simple. After Wang Shouren arrived, he first put the entire army in order, and all those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, old and frail were all sent back to their hometowns, leaving a group of brave soldiers who were not afraid of death.
Wang Shouren changed some of the general soldiers again, and the general soldiers were afraid of death, how good could the soldiers be? Obviously, there is a powerful force such as the Shenji Battalion, so why not use it?
Wang Shouren wondered why he didn't use it, so he directly ordered the Shenji Battalion to fire artillery into the valley, and then he understood why it was useless, it turned out that the cannon of the Shenji Battalion was unstable and exploded.
This kind of inferior cannon really dared to be made, Wang Shouren immediately wrote to Zhu Youjiao, Zhu Youzhang was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate, after a series of trials and investigations, it was the people of the household department and the Ministry of Industry who made mistakes, and some people coveted raw materials and made inferior cannons. Because the quality of the material could not keep up, this led to the explosion of the cannon.
Zhu Youzhu quickly dealt with it, and those corrupt officials were dismissed, imprisoned, and raided.
Using the surprise attack of a brocade guard brought over, coupled with the death squad of the Ming army, after a fierce battle, the valley was finally broken through.
Tens of thousands of Ming troops successfully crossed the valley and rushed to Ningxia.
It broke through more than half a month ago, and only now has news arrived.
Wang Shouren stationed his army in the rear of Tatar and formed an opposing situation with him, and Tatar is now in a small city in the front, Wang Shouren in the back, and Zhu Shou in his hometown. At this time, Urimaru felt hopeless, and the 300,000-strong army was now only 200,000 left, and a third of it had been lost. And they did not capture the small city, and they were surrounded by the Ming army.
