Busy brother Timur was galloping at this time, and now the Mongols have learned to be obedient, and it is useless to maintain horsepower when fighting the Ming army. The spear formation of the Ming army was not at all something that the cavalry could charge. Cavalry archery is not easy to use, everyone in the Ming army has steel armor to protect themselves, bows and arrows can not be shot at all, and the Ming army has cannons, muskets, and many skilled foot archers. Fighting with them with bows and arrows, being able to play a ten-to-one exchange rate is a blessing from Immortal Heaven.

Therefore, when the troops of the busy brother Timur fought against the Ming army's western expeditionary army, they did not consider horse warfare at all, and they all used horses to walk, dismounted and fought on foot, and fought hand-to-hand as much as possible. Although they are still inferior in hand-to-hand combat, they can always achieve certain results.

And this time, the plan of the busy brother Timur is to fight hand-to-hand at night, and he will also fight a half-crossing. As long as you rush to the crossing of the Ming army before dark, take a moment of respite, launch an attack after the sky is dark, quickly approach the opponent under the cover of night, and disrupt their formation, you will definitely be able to win a big victory!

The hot breath and saliva exhaled by the war horse continued to spray on his face, but Timur, the busy brother, was unconscious, only felt that his heart was expanding more and more, and he was about to jump out of the cavity with excitement. There are at least 30,000 steel-armored soldiers on the side of the Huzhang River, right? If you can defeat them, even if you only leave half of them, even if the price you pay on your side is heavier, it will be a big profit.

That's 10,000 or even 20,000 pairs of steel armor, wouldn't he be able to organize a steel armor cowardly Xue army right away? Maybe there will be dozens or hundreds of bronze cannons!

With such a strong soldier, where else in the world can not go? I'm a Celestial Sect...... Went south to Persia and the Great Eclipse, replacing Abha and Baibers. It is not impossible to unify the kingdoms of the Heavenly Sect!

He looked back to his left and right and behind him, and tens of thousands of Mongol warriors followed him closely. In order to defeat the Ming army on the banks of the Kuzhang River. He dispatched a whole team of 60,000 people! Only 20,000 men are still standing at the exit from the Ferghana Basin. 60,000 troops, including his cowardly Xue army. Almost 60,000 Mongol warriors defeated up to 30,000 Ming troops in a night battle, so they were some sure, right?

If such a battle is still not won, then it can only obediently retreat to the Ferghana Basin to wait for reinforcements. If the reinforcements don't come, or if they come and give them in vain, then he, a descendant of Genghis Khan, can only bow down to the Ming Dynasty......

Busy brother Timur is also desperate now, and he has been forced to do this, so he can only take out his old book and fight. But he wasn't a reckless and incompetent person either. He has also studied the art of war with the elders in his family since he was a child, and he has also seen countless battle formations! Although he himself led his troops into battle, there were few victories. But he also learned from defeat and experience, and knew that the Ming army was quite capable of fighting. However, the Ming army was very particular about the formation, and the complete formation was listed regardless of the infantry and cavalry.

As long as the two sides are determined to fight, these Ming troops will be unshakable. Not only because the formation is indestructible, but also because their cannon rockets are amazingly powerful. The two sides fought in formation, and the Ming army often came up with artillery bombardment and rockets flying wildly. The battle caused a great disarray on their side, and their pikemen rushed up like a flood bursting their banks. The warriors on their side had no way to fight except to flee on horseback.

So before the news of the Battle of Delhi came, Timur, a busy brother, already had some ideas. If you want to fight a chaotic battle with the Ming army, as long as it is a sudden outbreak of battle without a complete formation, the combat effectiveness of these Ming troops will be greatly reduced.

In the mind of the busy brother Timur. The 30,000 Ming troops who had already crossed the Kuzhang River must have been a strong army. But in the darkness of the night, once the two armies fought fiercely. It's hard to maintain the formation. And the 30,000 Ming troops who lost their position may be difficult to stop the nearly 60,000 Mongolian elites under his command. Not to mention that as long as the two sides fight in a scuffle. The musket artillery of the Ming army could not be played. All they really rely on is a piece of steel armor.

However, the warriors of Timur, who were busy with his brother, were equipped with hard-headed hammers that specialized in breaking steel armor, although they were not as good as the opponent's horizontal swords, but they were not helpless with steel armor. What's more, the number of people is at least twice as large as the other party, and there should be a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning tonight's battle!

Perhaps by tomorrow morning, the Ming army's western expeditionary army will have retreated from outside the Ferghana Basin, and the prestige of his busy brother Timur will spread all over the world!

This thought, in the process of galloping, has been repeatedly rolled in his heart, and he can even see the pictures of himself leading his troops to sweep Persia, eat the great food, and hold the black flag of the caliph in his hand.

If it weren't for the need to be more solemn as the commander of the three armies, at this time, the busy brother Timur could let out a long roar, expressing the resentment and depression of being invincible in battles over the years, and being suppressed by Kublai Khan and Nahai!

……

On the bank of the Huzhang River, there were still more than ten miles away from the ferry where the Ming army's Western Expeditionary Army was crossing the river, and the army of Timur, who was busy, had slowed down. From Tongtian Pass to this, the normal march of the army takes at least the entire day, that is, six or seven hours. But to drive the war horse to gallop at full strength, it was only about an hour and a half. At such a gallop, Rao is Mongolian cavalry were all first-class healthy horses under their crotches, and at this time they had already begun to gasp for breath, and their chests and abdomen were still rising and falling violently.

The sky had already darkened, and the camp of the Ming army more than ten miles away was gradually showing a vague outline in the darkness. The butter torches tied to something were spitting small flames, shrouding the camp in a faint halo, and everything seemed silent. It was as if he had not even noticed the roaring Mongol army.

At this time, the busy brother Timur had already subconsciously held his breath. His army of 60,000 roared in, and the other party didn't realize that it was a fantasy. The horse's hooves alone were like thunder, and they could burst the eardrums.

The other party's camp is now not silent, but motionless!

In the darkness, several tall figures rode up to meet them, and the first one rode with the white flag of Timur's department on his back. Apparently it was a horse exploration and ranger under the busy brother Timur.

When these horsemen saw Timur's Daxu from afar, they immediately came up to report the latest enemy situation.

In fact, there is nothing to say, and the enemy situation is clearly there. 30,000 steel armor elites are already ready for battle! Now it's up to the Mongols to see if they dare to fight?

However, it is normal for the Ming army to have such a performance in the Western Expeditionary Army. If they are in chaos at this time, they will panic. That must be a deception.

Busy brother Timur waved his hand, and the accompanying tens of thousands of households rushed forward.

"Each team of 10,000 people arranged for 1,000 horsemen to go down to guard the sentry and cover it. The rest of the warriors dismounted, rested, had some food first, and then gathered and charged when it was dark! ”

At this time, it is impossible to think about going home. The 60,000-strong army waited in Tongtian Pass for a few days, and finally went to the battlefield, and if there was no blood, they would slip back. The morale of this army is all over, what else to fight? It's time to help the coffin out and down early.

Several thousands of households immediately saluted and replied respectfully: "Please rest assured that the warriors have long been holding back their strength. I'm just waiting to give it a shot tonight! ”

Timur, the busy brother, looked back at the army behind him, and saw that in the night, the long dragon of torches was boundless, as if it had reached the end of the sky. There are so many warriors, and it's a night battle, and if you can't win, the heavens will be destroyed!

"Good!" Timur, the busy brother, turned his head, shouted, and waved his hand violently, "Go and tell the warriors." Tonight's battle is related to the survival of the khanate, and there should be no retreat, and survival in death. Follow my busy brother Timur, break the camp of the Ming thief, and let the Han people know the prestige of my great Mongolian warriors!

This battle. Those who dare to delay and fail to advance will be beheaded! Those who dare to retreat without an order. Beheading! Those who dare to shake the hearts of the army will be beheaded!

This battle. Anyone who can slay the enemy's head will be rewarded with 100 dinars! No matter what ethnicity, you can become a naturalized Mongolian! In the future, with a certain golden family, the same beginning and the same end! ”

100 silver dinars is not a big prize, but naturalization as a Mongolian is not easy. Here in the two rivers, the Mongols have few people and hold power, so they are all a privileged class, and they cannot be able to become if they want to.

Now the busy brother Timur has taken out the identity of the Mongol as a reward, which can be regarded as a bloody investment. When the order was conveyed, the three armies immediately cheered!

"Long live the King Khan! God bless the Khan! ”

The sound of cheers reached the battle array of the Ming army. In Zhu Sijiu's big tent, the future Great Qing Taizu was closing his eyes and recuperating, and at the same time he wanted to calm his heart...... There will be a big battle later, and this heart can't be messed up. At this moment, I heard hurried footsteps, and then someone shouted: "Dashuai, the Mongols are coming!" ”

Zhu Sijiu snorted: "How many people?" ”

"About fifty or sixty thousand!"

Zhu Sijiu still sat still, but said lightly: "Is dinner ready?" ”

"Returning to the marshal, the ordinary soldiers' dinner has been put down, and your small stove is being manipulated."

Now the food standard of the Ming army is different from when the team was only opened more than ten years ago, and middle and senior officers eat small stoves. However, the small stove on the battlefield is also very simple, that is, there are more fish and pickles than the meals of ordinary soldiers.

"Okay." Zhu Sijiu nodded, "Pass the order to go down and put soju (not distilled liquor, but soju brewed by the Western Army, the degree is not very high), half a pot per person!" ”

"No!"

Several staff officers all loudly agreed, and then turned to leave, only one of them remained in the tent, waiting for Zhu Sijiu to convey the military order to start the war.

And Zhu Sijiu waited for the meal like Mount Tai. The prelude to the bloody battle of the Huzhang River turned out to be eating! It's good to fight when you're full...... Or hit the road!

……

Timur, a busy brother, took two pieces of naan with mutton from his hands and chewed them heavily. His base had been tied, and the wool was standing tall, and lanterns were hung around him. The cowardice of the herald's continuous comings and goings, and the deployment of the army, were all reported to the busy brother Timur, and at the same time the orders of the busy brother Timur were conveyed.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers, overwhelming, let alone 60,000 troops? It would take two or three hours just to deploy. And this was still at a time when the Mongol army, which did not pay much attention to formation and had horses to walk on.

Of course, there are also cases where there is no direct melee. But the formation of the Ming army on the opposite side was like this, and Timur, a busy brother, naturally couldn't let his soldiers rush forward in such a mess.

According to his order, the 60,000 troops were divided into three parts, 20,000 troops were on the west side of the Ming army, 20,000 troops were on the east side of the Ming army, and 20,000 troops were on the south side of the Ming army.

After the 60,000-strong team was in place, the infantry phalanx was formed in units of 1,000 people. All the thousand-man teams only have wicker round shields and hard-headed hammers, and they are purely hand-to-hand combat. There were very few firearms in the busy brother Timur's department, so they were concentrated on the ten thousand households that were guarding the Mazartai through the heavens.

The rest of the troops can only pay attention to smashing people with hammers.

At this time, the sky was already pitch black, and although there were bright moons and stars in the sky, it was still not enough to illuminate the battlefield. Dozens of huge fires were lit, some lit by the Ming army, others by the Mongols.

Under the light of the fire, the soldiers on both sides were ready for all the preparations before the battle. On the side of the Ming army, the front row were all rectangular shields (these belonged to the sword and shield bearers of the Ming army's musket regiment and infantry brigade), and a long knife with a flickering cold light poked out of the gap in the shield. Behind the shields were two rows of soldiers with muskets, the arquebuses had been lit, and countless fireflies seemed to float in the night.

The musketeer was followed by a spear like a forest! Behind each musketeer regiment, two pikemen were arranged, forming six pikemen and one archers (just behind the musketeers). Two pikemen and a musketeer corps formed a large phalanx (rectangular), and on the battlefield there were six such phalanxes, two facing east, two facing west, and two facing south. Between the two phalanxes on each side, there is a regimental artillery position, with 24 3-inch cannons and 18 rocket launchers.

Behind these six infantry phalanxes and three artillery positions was a circular defensive position composed of trenches and a breastwork, on which no officers and soldiers were stationed, and behind the positions were Zhu Sijiu's own formation and a brigade reserve.

The same lights were bright, the handsome flag was fluttering, and the staff officers and soldiers who gave orders came and went, conveying the orders of the commander Zhu Sijiu to various positions.

Zhu Sijiu had already finished his dinner at this time, dressed neatly, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, standing solemnly on a high platform located in the main formation of the Chinese army, his eyes were heavy, and he scanned the front line of sabre-rattling.

"God is great! God willing! ”

Suddenly there was a hoarse roar on the battlefield, the slogan of the Mongol warriors under the busy brother Timur before they launched a charge. With this shout, on the battlefield, in the south, east and west, countless Mongolian warriors rushed towards the Ming army position in front of them as if the flood broke the embankment!
