"Boom-"

Xinghe, the cannon roared, although the Tatar soldiers were not very good at using this iron bump, and the speed of firing the cannon was slow, but from time to time a cannon was fired, which also made the city of Xinghe wail.

Zhu Di's face was pale, and he was furious, his own sharp weapon actually became the advantage of others. He asked Zhang Ying to lead his troops to charge several times, but they were all beaten back by the Arutai cavalry. Zhu Di was furious, killed twelve generals, and demoted Zhang Ying and others.

The good situation was lost by Liu Sheng's greed, Zhu Di was angry and ready to behead the public, but Zhang Ying and others pleaded, Li Ying said: "Your Majesty, although Liu Sheng's crime is unforgivable, it is not a crime of our army's war." No one thought that the A'er beggars of the Uliangha tribe would suddenly come and beat us too late. ”

Indeed, if it weren't for Uliangha joining the enemy army, the Ming army would not have been defeated so badly. Uliangha is the name of the Ming people for eastern Mongolia, also known as Duoyan Sanwei. In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, placed Tainingwei, Duoyanwei, and Fuyuwei to command the envoys. Because of the danger and strength of Duoyanwei, and for the people of Uliangha, the three guards are summarized by Uliangha.

The area under the jurisdiction of Sanwei is centered on the Nenjiang River, starting from the Wuyuer River in the east and reaching the Taoer and Yuer River basins in the west. After the Battle of Jingyan, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di made meritorious contributions to the battle with the three guard cavalry, and gave the land of Daningwei to Uliangha, and the power of Uliangha became stronger.

This crusade against Tatar Arutai, Zhu Di didn't count them, that knows, they actually rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Di even more angry, these shameless alien races, when they were poor, they would join the Ming Dynasty, and they would rebel when they were sufficient, and they would never agree with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di was angry in the military tent for a long time, and no one dared to approach, and after a long time, Zhu Di calmed down his anger a little, and at the same time, Liu Sheng was confiscated from the people.

"Zhang Ying, if you take someone to rush again, you must take the artillery back." Zhu Di shouted angrily.

Zhang Ying has been disgraced, it turns out that he is the most advocacious attacker, but Wuliang Ha has lived in the border pass of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, not only has the strength of the nomadic family, but also is familiar with the terrain and the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. Capturing artillery was also their suggestion to Arutai. At this time, the cavalry was wreaking havoc outside the city, coupled with strong crossbows, and the Ming soldiers were sleepy and lacking horses, and their morale was low, which was extremely unfavorable and not conducive to leaving the city.

Li Yingjin admonished: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible. ”

At this time, there are still people who dare to refute Zhu Di, don't die? Everyone was trembling.

Zhu Di is a murderer.

Sure enough, Zhu Di's temper was ignited again, and he sneered: "Li Ying, your artillery is lost, I have already demoted you by three levels, who allows someone to let you in, come on, give me me to drive him out, and beat him with fifty more sticks." ”

Li Ying regarded death as home, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, even if you kill the minister, the minister will also say." ”

And those who are not afraid of death? Zhu Di didn't laugh angrily: "Okay, I'll let you say a few more words." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others went out with Your Majesty, and they all came to serve the country, and the goal of the ministers was only Arutai, and no one calculated that Uliangha, which was the fault of the border guards. Although the artillery was lost, they would not have made so much gunpowder in a short time, so the minister expected that at most at noon today, their ammunition would be exhausted, so there was no need to worry. The minister has already received the exact news, Tuhuan will marry his sister to Lord Chen, and ally with our Daming, Tohuan killed the first Polo, and the enmity of Arutai is not shared. For the sake of today's plan, we are doing a good job of defense, and it is not appropriate to go out of the city. As long as the armies of the two highnesses, King Han and King Zhao, arrive, it will be time for us to counterattack. ”

There was silence in the military tent, he put the fault of the expedition on the head of the border pass, and did not observe the dynamics of Uliangha in time, which led to the miscalculation of Arutai's strength, telling the truth, but did Zhu Di admit it?

Of course, Zhu Di knows this, but he won't admit it, he doesn't like to admit mistakes. However, Li Ying's proposal was feasible, and indeed, the biggest hope now was on Chen Yuan's side, and he thought about it for a long time, adopted the suggestion, and canceled the plan to recapture the artillery.

Outside the city, Arutai and A'er were talking and laughing, looking at the panic of the Ming army in the city, and laughing: "Haha, the end of Zhu Di has arrived." ”

"Taishi, don't forget to promise us about Wuliangha."

An inexplicable look flashed in Arutai's eyes, patted him on the shoulder, and said heartily: "Don't worry, my target is Zhu Di." When I enter the Central Plains, Northeast Mongolia will be yours in the future. ”

A'er was overjoyed, and a greedy look appeared in her eyes, saying that she would definitely cooperate well.

At this moment, the artillery sparsely scattered, and after a while, it stopped.

Arutai asked the people around him, drinking: "What's the matter, keep banging." ”

The subordinates around him went down to investigate, and came back after a while and said: "Taishi, there is not much gunpowder left by the Ming army, and it has been finished." ”

"What?" Arutai frowned and said, "Didn't we capture some of the battles we fought with the Ming army before?" And what about our own production? Use it. ”

He shook his head with a wry smile: "Taishi, the artillery of the Ming army has been improved, and the previous gunpowder was inferior and could not be shot, and if it was not good, it would explode and hurt our own people." ”

"Damn." Arutai slammed his fist into a nearby pillar.

"Taishi rest assured, the Ming army has been frightened. There are more than 100,000 Ming troops inside, and the food consumption is not a small amount, as long as we surround them, they will starve to death if they are hungry. ”

Arutai was overjoyed when he heard this, he was right, although there is no artillery, but the advantage is still there, Zhu Di, I must defeat you.

Arutai was confident that he would continue to fight and began to fight with a big defeat, that is, he underestimated Zhu Di. But he is ambitious, he will never admit defeat, they have a strong physique in the grassland, he constantly clears the wilderness, lures the enemy to go deeper, attacks again and again, and at the same time secretly lets Wuliangha move quietly, and finally lures Liu Sheng out, eats his 3,000 men and horses, Zhu Di is busy with other soldiers and horses to respond, they are in one go, seize the artillery, and this is the time when Arutai reverses the tide of battle.

For the Ming army, having formed an alliance with Warat, they can immediately invest more than 200,000 overwhelming troops, as long as Xinghe resists and Zhu Di is safe, they can attack in an all-round way, and Arutai will have no way to retreat, and they will be able to complete the battle and completely occupy the Tatar steppe from now on.

Therefore, the current situation, although it is difficult for both sides, both sides feel that they can win as long as they hold on for a moment, and once they win, it will be a complete victory, once and for all. Therefore, both sides never had the idea of stopping their troops and quitting the war.

With no score and no ending, who knows who will be the one who will have the last laugh?

The place where the grain was collected was in the rear of the Arutai army, and the people and horses left behind were not worried that the enemy would arrive, but that afternoon, in the vast grassland, the smoke was filled, and suddenly there was a sound of "Woo! Whining! The terrible sound of the trumpet!

The guards in charge of guarding the grain and grass were dozing off in their tents, because the front line was fighting, and they had nothing to do to guard the grain. Because they thought that it was impossible for the Ming army to fight.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, he ran out of the tent in astonishment, and looked into the distance with a canopy in his hand, only to see the dust flying, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, which gathered densely from all directions, and gradually formed a line of surging like a frenzied tide of vicious waves, and surging viciously towards the granaries of white reefs on this gentle slope......

Before he could react and organize a counterattack, he was slashed with a knife, his eyes widened, and he couldn't bat at himself.

"Set fire!"

"Set fire!"

At the side of the granary, Zhu Gaosui shouted.

Hundreds of lit incendiary sticks were thrown into the granary, and in an instant, a mushroom cloud rose up, and the sky was unusually bright.

When Arutai and A'er were still discussing how much food the Ming army had and how long it could last, they were stunned by the fire in the northeast.

He pinched his chest and beat his chest: "Taishi, this firelight is where we put food, this horn, the enemy attack, is the enemy attack." ”

Arutai was shocked, food, they were discussing how to consume the Ming army and starve Zhu Di to death, but suddenly there was a problem with their own food, and if there was no food, the defeat was decided.

His face was horrified, and he shouted wildly: "Quick, go and put out the fire, quick!" ”
