Chapter 178: The Decisive Battle
In the palace of Fuyuan City.
Zhu Youzhu was reading the Gansu border combat military report sent to him by Ma Wensheng, and Wang Yue and a cadre of generals were on his side.
At this time, a military academy walked into the room and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Turpan Aheima led his subordinates to evacuate Hami in a hurry last night. ”
Zhu Youjiao's eyes flashed.
Wang Yue had a relaxed expression next to him, and said happily, "The emperor's plan to attack the east and the west has worked, and now the main force of Turpan has retreated, and the backyard of Tatar is on fire." Dayan Khan estimated that he was about to withdraw his troops. ”
Several other generals chimed in.
"No!" Zhu Youzhu shouted to stop everyone's discussions, "Dayan Khan will not retreat, and will immediately attack my Fuyuan City." ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at the emperor in confusion.
Zhu Youzhang's black eyes were as bright as stars, "Generals, the time for a decisive battle has come!" If this battle is won, it can keep my Ming border safe for ten years! ”

The next day, before the sky was fully dawned, the city of Fuyuan of the Ming Dynasty was dark and oppressive, and it was full of Tatar soldiers.
In the city, Zhu Youzhu was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were locked on Dayan Khan, who was commanding the front line in person under the city.
Dayan Khan was full of feelings in his heart at this time, he thought that the sudden attack on Fuyuan City would definitely catch the Ming army off guard, and he didn't want Fuyuan City to be well defended as if he had received the news.
But the eagle of the grassland soared into the sky, how could there be a reason to retreat and turn back. He gritted his teeth and drew his saber, "Siege!" ”
At the command of the order, the tall and brave Tatar soldiers poured into the city like a tidal wave. Thousands of arrows were fired at the top of Fuyuan City, piercing the Tatar soldiers like raindrops. For a moment, the sound of trumpets, charges, and wails mingled.
The Ming army shot a cluster of arrows, different from the past, the lethality was extremely great, the Tatar siege casualties were extremely serious, and when the rain of arrows passed, Dayan Khan organized the siege again, suddenly the left and right flanks of the army were in chaos.
I saw that on both flanks, a cavalry was killed, and the Tatar army was instantly disrupted.
Dayan Khan was in danger and immediately ordered the leaders of all departments to stabilize the formation and reorganize the army.
"Knock-", with a loud bang, a Ming army was killed in Fuyuan City, facing the Tatar army from the front.
The Tatar soldiers, who had just regrouped, were once again disorganized. The morale of the army was in turmoil. Many soldiers began to retreat in fear.
Dayan Khan urged his horse forward, slashed to death several soldiers fleeing in panic with his sword, and shouted, "Don't mess around! ”
"Whoosh-sss The arrow was so powerful that it knocked him off his horse.
Khushan, who was at the side of Dayan Khan, hurriedly fished him up to his horse. Dayan Khan's right shoulder was bleeding profusely.
Kushan shouted loudly, "Khan? What to do? ”
Dayan Khan pressed the wound on his right shoulder, looked at the faint figure of Zhu Youzhu on Fuyuan City, his face was purple, and he sighed, "Withdraw your troops!" ”
Kushan received an order to protect Dayan Khan and command the army to fight and retreat.
The Ming army did not completely seal off the Tatar army, leaving a hole in the southwest side. Having found out, the Tatar army withdrew from the battlefield from the southwestern side.
Fuyuan City.
Wang Yue saw that the Tatars were retreating to the southwest, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, the Tatars have indeed withdrawn from the opening on the southwest side. Whether the pursuit is as planned. ”
Zhu Youzhu looked at the departing back of the Tatar army, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Hmm! ”
Fuyuan City, the Imperial Palace.
Zhang Yue was in the palace all day today, and she wanted to go to the city to watch the battle. However, Zhu Youzhu said that he did not agree with anything. She had to wait for news with Guli and Rushui.
"Qi Yu Niangniang!" Xiao Jing hurriedly walked in from outside.
Zhang Yue jumped up, "Ah Jing, how is it?" Did you win? ”
"Niangniang, our Ming army has won a complete victory, and the Tatars have suffered countless casualties."
Zhang Yue clapped his hands and said, "Great! Na Munk ..... What about Dayan Khan? ”
"Dayan Khan fled with the remnants of his army, and was pursued by our Ming army all the way, and is now besieged in the Valley of Luoying. I heard that Dayan Khan was wounded and almost died on the battlefield. ”
"Oh!" For some reason, Zhang Yue felt a little sad when she heard that Meng Ke was injured.
Guli was also cheering beside her.
Xiao Jing continued, "General Shaanba is brave and brave, and the Hami Guangfu Army led by him has a very good record. The emperor praised General Shaanba in front of the Ming soldiers today. ”
Gu Li heard that his lover was praised by the Ming Emperor in public, and he was very proud in his heart, and pursed his lips.
————————————————
In the valley of Loying, the Tatar barracks were full of wounded sergeants. The military advisor Quan Tian covered his face and glanced around with cold eyes.
Jixiao, the apprentice next to him, whispered, "Master! In vain, I saw that the Dayan Khan was gone. Are we going to stay here for the burial? ”
There was a hint of gloom in Quan Tian's eyes, "Hmph! You will see the wind at the helm. ”
Ji Xiaogan laughed twice, "The apprentice is mainly worried about the safety of the master. ”
Quan Tian sighed, "Let's go." ”
The figures of the two quietly disappeared from the Tatar barracks.

Fuyuan City.
After the great victory of Fuyuan, Zhu Youzhu ordered the officers and men of the three armies to be rewarded, and the whole army was rewarded for meritorious deeds.
It is worth mentioning that after this battle, Shaanba was exceptionally promoted by Zhu Youzhu to the commander of the Hami Weidu because of his merits, and Shaanba changed from a low-level officer in Hami to a senior general officially canonized by the Ming Dynasty. Shaanba is grateful to the Ming Emperor. Gu Li was also very happy that Shaanba was appreciated by the Ming Emperor.
Two days after the end of the battle, Zhu Youzhu returned to Zhang Yue's room in the palace, and after not seeing her husband for a few days, Zhang Yue greeted him very happily and helped him remove the armor on his body and put on a comfortable regular clothes.
In the past few days, Zhu Youjiao's spirit has been highly tense, and when he returned to his beloved wife at this time, his mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Congratulations to the emperor on his great victory! raised the national prestige of my Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled, "The mouth is so sweet, is Yue'er asking me for a reward?" ”
"I have no meritorious service, how can I be eligible for a reward."
"You?" Zhu Youzhu reached out and tapped his wife's eyebrows.
Zhang Yue remembered something, "Are the Tatars still trapped in the Luoying Valley?" ”
"Hmm!"
"I heard that the Mongolian ...... Dayan Khan was wounded? ”
"Yes, he was hit by the new weapon developed by our Da Ming, the whirling crossbow arrow."
Zhang Yue was taken aback, "Swirling crossbow arrows? But ....."
Zhu Youzhu nodded and admitted, "It is the whirling crossbow arrow recorded in the Xuanwei Record, this arrow is hugely powerful, the range is more than twice that of ordinary crossbow arrows, it can shoot several shots in a row, and the arrow brings back the hook and shoots into the flesh, the arrow will continue to rotate, causing secondary damage to the enemy." ”
Zhang Yue was secretly surprised that this military artifact of Xuanweilu was actually developed by the emperor and used on a large scale in the army.
Zhu Youzhu saw that Zhang Yue was silent, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune that such a lethal weapon has been made. Although it was to defend the country, many people were killed and injured after all. The two countries are fighting for the interests of the superiors, but it is the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people who are hurting. Alas! I don't know when the world will be truly peaceful? ”
