Chapter 484: The Battle of the Three Emperors?

The Sun and Moon King Banner of Chen Dexing, the king of the Northern Ming Dynasty, has been erected on the position where the original First Guards Brigade was located!

The demigod king, the founder of the Chinese world, is now riding on a horse from the Western Regions, wearing steel armor, wearing a steel helmet, and a steel horizontal knife hanging from his waist, a pair of sharp eyes staring at the bloody battlefield. The 90,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia fought the most tragic battles under his gaze.

What a frightening and fascinating picture! Such pictures can be seen on the banknotes of later generations, in history textbooks, in Taoist temples of Tiandaoism, and on the murals of imperial palaces or royal palaces of various countries.

Among all these drawings, murals, paintings, or sculptures, there are very few other two other kings who were also on the battlefield at that time—Kublai Khan, the Great Yuan Emperor and Great Khan of Mongolia, and Li Yanguo, the later ancestor of the Tang Dynasty.

Kublai Khan was less than 1,200 paces away from Chen Dexing when the Mongol Khan dismounted his horse and climbed onto a mound converted from an overturned sand shield cart. His eyes looked anxiously at the sea of fire and blood in front of him.

The Mongol army is attacking on all fronts, and at the same time it is in a bitter battle on all fronts. Whether it is the cowardly Xue army and the tent soldiers of the Tachar Palace located in the middle line, or the other 40,000 households located on the left and right wings. They were all blocked by the Ming army, which was far less numerous than them, and they could not advance even a step. Even under the various firearms of the Ming army and their powerful infantry strikes, they suffered heavy losses.

Kublai Khan knew that he had committed his strongest forces and did his best in this battle—although later historians often criticized Kublai Khan for dividing his army of 80,000 to Henan, and at the same time allowing a troop of 10,000 men (the same 10,000 men who originally monitored the Ming army in Jinan) to occupy Puyang and Huazhou. In order to block Chen Dexing from his name to go south to Bianliang. Thus dispersing his forces made it possible for Chen Dexing to defeat the 60,000 Mongol army with 28,000 men (and 5,000 more to monitor the daimyo).

But something military. There have never been victories and defeats. The Mongols have a great chance of winning together. But Chen Dexing is not a fool, it is impossible to use more than 20,000 people to fight 200,000 people...... The Battle of the Daqing River. Maybe it's more than 100,000 Tang and Ming coalition troops fighting Meng Yuan.

In that case, once Kublai Khan is defeated, there will be no way out!

"Do you want to retreat to Puyang?" Kublai Khan raised his eyes and looked at the southwest, more than 300 miles to the southwest is Puyang, along the way a horse and a flat river, and there is no obstacle. There are also 5,000 troops deployed in advance by Kublai Khan in Puyang City. Two hundred miles southwest from Puyang, it is Bianliang City, the former capital of the Great Song Dynasty. Once there, you should have a chance to regroup......

The idea of retreat had already germinated in Kublai Khan's mind, and then he was heavily pressed down. Now it's just a hard battle, and the winner hasn't been decided yet. Mongolia still has a chance, after all, the absolute superiority of forces is still on the side of Mongolia.

Thinking of the superiority in troops, he suddenly raised his head and looked south, looking in the direction of Jinan City!

Kublai Khan may not have thought of it before, but perhaps he had thought of Li Yanguo, the king of Zhao in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, who had a heavy army. The prince of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, who was stationed in Jinan, was squatting on the south bank of the Daqing River with an army of 30,000 at this time. And he himself was sitting with an old nun on a huge watchtower several feet high, looking at the battlefield from afar.

This old nun, of course, is Yang Miaozhen, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

"Grandma. Is it time to throw the army into battle? ”

"It's time, as long as the 30,000 troops are thrown in to attack Chen Dexing's back, the great cause of my Tang Dynasty can be accomplished!"

Li Yanguo was startled and looked at the old nun in a daze. "Grandma, how do you make that? If Chen Dexing is defeated, Datang will have to fight Meng Yuan alone. ”

The old nun shook her head. Said: "Mongolia has been defeated for a while, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover. I, the Eastern Tang Dynasty, only need to make good use of the princes of the Northern Land and the feudal domains of the Southern Dynasties. Defeat Mongolia without a big problem! She looked at Li Yanguo and asked in a deep voice. How is it? Is it going to be a big business? ”

"No, no," King Zhao of the Tang Dynasty shook his head again and again, "Chen Dexing is brave, and there are still thousands of cavalry around him who have not been invested, and they are all a new army." The grandson had only a thousand cavalry in his hands...... Even if Chen Dexing is defeated, it will be difficult to stop him from escaping. ”

Li Yanguo is not blind, and you can see at a glance how fierce the battle is on the battlefield now. It can also be seen that Mongolia is already at a disadvantage...... There was also no communication between him and Kublai Khan, and once the Tang army crossed the river, how could Kublai Khan dare to stay on the battlefield again? It must retreat like a whirlwind and clouds, and at that time there will be more than 20,000 Ming troops on the battlefield, and even if they can be defeated by 30,000 fresh troops, it is impossible to wipe them all, let alone kill Chen Dexing.

If Chen Dexing doesn't die and returns to Yanyun to regroup, he should come to Shandong in a year at most!

"Cowardly as a mouse!" The old nun sighed and said, "You, like your father, do big things and sacrifice your life, and forget your life when you see small profits!" That's it, that's it, the old body doesn't bother with this idleness. ”

The old nun sighed, picked up the warm tea placed on the coffee table next to her and took a sip, and said to Li Yanguo: "Yanguo, since you don't dare to fight with Chen Dexing, then hurry down and transfer troops to cross the river and sell Chen Dexing." ”

Yang Miaozhen used to fight in Shandong and Huaidong, she was a woman who had really fought in the past, and she was quite good at fighting. This vision is naturally not bad, how can you not see that the battlefield situation on the front line is more favorable to Chen Dexing? If we don't start to transfer troops across the river and enter the battlefield now, I'm afraid it will be too late to enter the war.

She took another sip of tea and said lightly: "If this battle is fought until the evening, Kublai Khan should retreat." Yanguo, you should arrive at the battlefield before dark, or you won't get any good. ”

"Benefits?" Li Yanguo looked at the old nun and said, "Grandma, what should the grandson ask Chen Dexing for?" ”

"I want the H medicine formula!" The old nun snorted, "Cuixian's girl pushes back, and Mingxia's sassy girls don't have to negotiate at all...... I don't know what the surname Chen is? ”

Of course, Li Cuixian and Yang Po'er knew the secret of the granule H medicine, but Chen Dexing had already given them a gag order: they must not disclose it to the Li family in Yidu!

And these two women are human spirits, so they naturally know who they rely on.

"Anything else?" Li Yanguo thought about it and asked again.

"I still want a big gun to make a show......," the nun said, "I don't want much, Chen Dexing will agree." Yanguo, you hurry down and transfer troops. Oh, by the way, you go and call Li Heng to the old body. ”

"Li Heng?" Li Yanguo was stunned, "That party person? Grandma, what are you looking for him to do? Grandson, I still want to use his cavalry to take the lead. ”

Li Heng was the prince of Western Xia, his grandfather died in the battle with Genghis Khan, and his father Li Weizhong was seven years old and was adopted by Genghis Khan's younger brother Hesar. After making some contributions, he was sealed in Zichuan, Shandong Province as a Daru Huachi. Li Heng grew up in Zichuan. However, because Li Weizhong and Li Heng's father and son are not Han, they have always been estranged from Li Pu. When Li Pu rebelled at the beginning, he did not follow, and led his troops to Dongping to join the Han Hou army sent by Kublai Khan to attack.

However, in the end, he had to take refuge in Li Pu, but with such an experience, he was not a Han Chinese, and most of them did not really take refuge, so Li Pu did not take refuge in him. It has been lost on Dongping Road and is useless, and he was transferred to Jinan by Li Yanguo only a few days ago.

The nun snorted and said, "The old body asked you to call Li Heng, you just have to call, what is there to ask?" This Yidu foundation is all created by the old body, can't you see a Li Heng? ”

This foundation of the Eastern Tang Dynasty was really created by Yang Miaozhen! The Red Jacket Army was founded by her brother Yang An'er, Yang An'er was once called the emperor, and Li Quan was Yang An'er's marshal. Later, Yang An'er was defeated and died, and Yang Miaozhen succeeded his people and became the leader of the Red Jacket Army. Later, Yang Miaozhen married Li Quan, and Li Quancai and Yang Miaozhen were in charge of the Red Jacket Army.

Therefore, Yang Miaozhen, the nun of the Extinction Gate, had a very high prestige in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and Li Yanguo didn't dare to go down any further, so he had to answer, went down to the watchtower to find Li Heng, and asked him to go up to the watchtower to see Yang Miaozhen. Then he went to cross the river with his troops.

Several pontoon bridges have already been erected on the Daqing River, and beside the embankment of the Daqing River near the pontoon bridges, the Tang army is arranged there like a sea of fire, as if there are layers of undulating red waves. This momentum is enough to make people tremble.

These are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, of course, they are all Shandong people, behind them is their homeland, if the Mongols are allowed to rush in, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So they have no way out, they can only fight to the death!

Li Yanguo galloped over with a few personal guards, straight into this fiery ocean, and then stood up on the high and raised river embankment, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "It's time for us to go to the Red Jacket Army!" King Ming's soldiers and horses have already blocked twice as many Mongol Tartars as they are, and they have the upper hand! Now as long as we cross the river and join the war, the victory will be nine out of ten! Our hometown, our family, even if we keep it! Sons, this battle is not for the Li family, but for your wives and children, if you don't want them to become slaves of the Mongol Tatars, then cross the river with me! Cross the Qing River and kill the Tartars! ”

The Tang army had been waiting here for almost a morning, and listening to the shouts and explosions on the other side of the Daqing River, they had long known that the war had reached the most critical moment. As Li Yanguo said, these Tang troops are now fighting to protect their homes and families! The morale of the army fighting for the defense of the family was already high, and now that the Mongols were blocked by the Ming army, how could they not be eager to try?

The Tang army couldn't help but let out a shout: "Cross the Qing River and kill the Tartars!" ”

The order of crossing the river has already been decided, and as soon as Li Yanguo gave the order, the vanguard has already taken steps and headed towards the river embankment, like a red fire stream, overflowing the river embankment, getting on the pontoon bridge, and moving forward, preparing to cross the Daqing River north and join this great battle that has been killed in the dark!
