In the third year of Zhengde, in winter, November Jiazi, the little prince defeated Wang Xun, the general soldier of Datong, in Huanzhou, and forced Yingzhou, the emperor supervised the army and fought with Yingzhou, known as the battle of Yingzhou in history. [Full text reading]

It was a decisive battle nine years in advance, and it was also a war that was destined to be entered with the belief that both sides of the war would win, and the reason why they could not retreat, and they were full of indignation.

To tell the truth, the little prince has no strength to be angry anymore. Not to mention that he is riding a horse, even if he is riding a car, it is just as uncomfortable to run hundreds of kilometers in this wilderness in winter.

If his opponent also runs down, it can be regarded as his initiative to mobilize the enemy, so that the enemy will follow behind the ass and eat ashes, at least mentally happy.

However, he couldn't fool himself, and he couldn't.

I didn't think it at the time, but if I look back and summarize it now, I can easily find that don't look at the little emperor of the Ming Kingdom who looks stupid and impulsive, but in fact, his marching route is completely wasteful, as if it has been calculated, from the capital to Xuanfu, and then go straight to Yingzhou, without any curve.

ran in front of people, and was conspired against hundreds of scouts; ran far away, but he was half tired and half dead, and by the way, he was tired and paralyzed hundreds of horses; In the end, I can only obediently send it to the door, but people are waiting here all day, what the hell am I trying to do! The little prince's mouth was full of bitterness.

I knew this earlier, so I might as well fight in Xuanfu, at that time, I was recuperating, but the other party was coming from a long distance, even if it was to fight in the city, what could I do, it was better than now, right?

The enemy has 10,000 more elite cavalry, and the increase in strength is not counted, but those strange mountain cavalry will die.

Now, his rangers have been compressed very much, and if he doesn't regain the advantage of Xuanfu, in addition to the number of the opponent's army, his eyes are black, and the other party knows everything about his side's movements.

If it weren't for the fact that his own troops were indeed superior to the other party, and the geographical location of Yingzhou was not too bad, and the rear hand could barely be used, this battle would basically be useless.

Blame, and can only blame yourself for being confused by the previous victory, giving up the strength in your hands, but believing in any scheme. If the conspiracy is useful, why should those scholars and doctors pay money, food, and conscience to do it themselves?

The little prince admits the existence of the gap, plays strategy, plays psychological warfare, and he is far from being the opponent of the little emperor, but after all, victory cannot only rely on strategy, who is the hero and who is the seed, after all, it must be known only after a real fight.

Now, it is the moment to decide the victory, and I don't believe that with the 100,000 elite cavalry under his command, he will not be able to defeat the forbidden army of more than 60,000 and mainly infantry.

He is a descendant of Genghis Khan, and his command is a Mongolian iron cavalry that once swept the world and rode and shot unparalleled!

"King Khan, the Ming army is arrayed along the river, the middle army is infantry, and the left flank is cavalry......"

"Probably wading through the water?"

"King Khan, the river is too cold, if you forcibly wade through the water, even if the people can stand it, the horses can't do it."

"This little emperor is really cunning." The little prince grinded his teeth, he had many soldiers and high mobility, of course, he hoped that the wider the battlefield, the better, so that he could deploy his troops. But the other side is fighting by the river, and the right wing has natural protection, and if he wants to repeat his old tricks, he can only work the left wing and the Chinese army.

"How is the lineup of the Ming army?" The two armies were still approaching, and through the thin morning light, the little prince could only see a black line in the distance, and if he wanted to know the details, he could only rely on the scout's exploration.

"The array is neat, and the military appearance is extremely ......"

Defeat in complex terrain is only because the steppe cavalry has no experience in that area, and it is not a matter of their own quality, what kind of woods can there be on the grassland, and it is purely a waste of strength to lay traps in that kind of endless place.

Now that the two armies are facing each other, they are on a vast plain by the river, so naturally they don't have so many scruples, so although the rangers don't dare to get too close, they can basically enter the field of vision and see the enemy's formation.

"The cavalry on the left flank are all armored? What A? ”

"Iron armor, iron armor of water! There is a helmet on it, and the armor on the body is also integrated, and even the armor pieces cannot be seen, and the horse has also approved the armor, which is the same as the armor on the human body. The scout's face was also a little pale, this Ming army is worthy of being a forbidden army, just saying that this wealth is extraordinary, everyone and horses are wearing iron armor, how much does it cost, how much iron!

That is to say, these dirt buns have never been to Tianjin, otherwise if they saw the railway being laid there, they would have to stare out their eyes, and lay such precious iron on the ground, what a luxury and waste!

"King Khan, not only the cavalry, but also the enemy's infantry are also armoured, the same iron armor, and not a single crack can be found...... another scout added.

“…… Revisit. The little prince was stunned for a moment, and then remembered to send a few scouts away, and when he looked around again, he saw that the faces of the leaders were not very good. The Ming army was like thunder before, and it was hard to know that Ruyin's actions had left a deep impression on them, and the infantry could run after the cavalry, which was too rare and had never been heard of.

Such a unit, equipped with sharp equipment, is self-evident in its power. After tossing for so many days, everyone's morale has been weakened a lot, and it is inevitable to show timidity at this time.

"What are you afraid of? Show the courage of the steppe people! "The big war is coming, there is no way to avoid it, the little prince can't play tricks, but he still knows some art of war. The three armies can win the air, the generals can win the heart, and the army has no morale and is still a fart?

"It was Ben Khan who mistakenly believed those ministers, and he was led by the nose by the little emperor, which made the children lose their spirit...... "The leader can't apologize casually, even if it's in disguise, so the little prince's words immediately attracted everyone's attention."

"We are the descendants of the greatest Mandate of Heaven Khan, we rely on the skillful bow and horse to fight, rely on the courage to move forward, and are not afraid of death, in the past we defeated the Han people in this way, and then defeated those people in the west, as long as we muster up the courage, there is no enemy in the world that we cannot defeat......"

Qualifications are not the patent of scholars, Tartars will, and their qualifications are quite convincing, at least after the little prince finished speaking, the eyes of the leaders lit up a lot.

"The weapons of the Ming army are good, it's nothing, because it's always been like this, but why can't they beat our Mongols? Because the Han people are cowardly, and no matter how good the weapons are, they can't play their due role, so it has always been us who plundered them, not the other way around. ”

The little prince waved his arms and shouted: "Decades ago, in Tumu Fort, the same well-equipped Ming army, and there were 500,000 people, what was the result?" Wasn't it all wiped out by the 50,000 soldiers and horses of Warat? What kind of thing is Warat, after so many years, I can't lift my head after being beaten by our Tatars......"

His voice suddenly became sharp: "And now, behind you, there are more than 100,000 grassland warriors, can't they still defeat the Ming army of tens of thousands?" Are you not as good as the Varates? ”

"No!"

"We're better than Warat!"

"Defeat them and rob them all!"

"Defeat the Ming army, capture the little emperor, and restore the glory of the Great Yuan!"

The little prince's encouragement was fruitful, the leaders' eyes turned red, scimitars were raised, and all kinds of shouts rang out.

"Whew!" Seeing that the leaders began to raise their swords and shout, the cavalry also howled in harmony, the voice was rough and long, like the howl of wolves, the sound shook all over the wilderness, and even the morning light was dispersed.

...... "Big brother, I have to say that the howl of the Tartars is worse than your singing, and it is noisy." Zhengde pursed his lips and gave a comment that made Xie Hong cry and laugh.

In the center of the army, more than a dozen carts were put together and a movable command platform was temporarily set up. This platform is not very high, but if you raise the telescope, you can see the Tartar army formation, and it is very convenient.

It is precisely because of this that the scout battle in the center of the battlefield is not very intense, and the martial arts of the horses and the scouts are very good, but in such a close fight, the casualty ratio is too high, and it is not cost-effective to exchange one for one.

"The Tartars didn't divide their troops, there should be no tricks...... Jiang Bin and the others have already returned to the battle, Wen Wen stayed in the Chinese army as the deputy chief of staff, and when he was in Xuanfu, he was still in the main position, but after Xie Hong appeared, he abdicated and gave way to Xian.

"That's hard to say, it's better to be careful." Xie Hong pouted, playing conspiracy is addictive, and Tartars are also people, of course they will not be exempt from vulgarity, so they don't believe that after they saw their own plate armor, they were not moved at all, and they didn't think about losing anything at all.

"The Tartars are adjusting the array, it should be the main force in the Chinese army, the emperor, our army should be held firmly in the middle, the left flank assault is the top, our army's cavalry is heavy cavalry, although the speed is not as good as the Tartar light cavalry, but the attack power is far superior, if you attack with all your strength, the Tartars will definitely not be able to resist, and then echo with the Chinese army, a big victory can be expected...... "Gently fulfill the duties of the staff officer.

"Wrong, General Wen, you are wrong again." Zhengde waved his hand again and again, and said without looking back: "It is my guards who decide the victory, and the cavalry is used to chase and kill, not to mention, if you really charge with heavy cavalry, you are likely to fall into a quagmire battle, and the Tartar cavalry is much more than ours." ”

The cavalry was only responsible for chasing and killing...... Again? Gentle only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was close to the guards? But the Guards only have 50,000 men, and they're infantry!

"The Tartar scouts are too arrogant, send an order to General Hou to drive them away!" Zhengde did not explain much, but ordered the scouts to attack, shielding the Tartars' rangers.

The flag waved, the scout team responded quickly, and a group of cavalry greeted them in a straggler line, and the first horse ran fast, Xie Hong saw it clearly, the rider was holding a knife in both hands, which one else was not Hu Sanniang?
