The low and melodious horn of the ox horn swept through the entire yellow sand desert, and Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, pulled out the steel knife on his waist and shouted at the Ming soldiers behind him: "If you don't break the enemy, you won't turn around, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers will always be there, and the Ming rivers and mountains will always be there." ”

"The Ming army is mighty!"

This battle horn of the Ming Dynasty has not sounded in the Hexi Corridor for more than 70 years, accompanied by the howling wind and the melodious horn, as if it is a call to the heroic spirits of the ancestors, telling them that the iron cavalry of the Ming Empire has returned.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Under the call of Shi Heng, 50,000 Ming soldiers roared their own battle numbers together, and everyone was in their blood at the moment, waiting for a bloody battle with the Mongol Tatars to prove who was the real king of Northern Xinjiang.

"Soldiers, follow Bengong to kill the past!"

Unlike ordinary commanders who sit in charge of the Chinese army and control the overall situation, Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, has always taken the lead. And it's not just him, Dingyuan Bo Shi Biao behind him is holding a double axe, and he looks even more fierce.

In addition, there are also a number of Shi clan children, as well as the cronies and subordinates who have followed Shi Heng for many years, and there is also no one who is weak and cowardly hiding behind and fighting, which can be called everyone who is brave and not afraid of death.

Shi Heng, a reckless man who is flying and domineering in the eyes of the civilian clique, can get the allegiance of the Jingying and the Xuanda border army, and is willing to take the risk of the Jiu clan to raise troops with the "Qingjun side", which shows that it is not without reason.

has the courage of ten thousand people, and lives and dies with the soldiers on the battlefield, which is the label of Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo. This is also the fundamental reason why Shen Yichen took a great risk to protect Shi Heng to promote the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition.

Shi Heng is a natural warrior, he is destined not to belong to the court, only the battlefield is the stage to show his personality charm!

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves rushing reached the ears of Tiansheng Khan, making him feel his blood boiling, as if he had found the self he had once fought in all directions on the grassland. Indeed, just like the old saying of the Han people, life is born in sorrow and death in peace, and when there is no external threat, it is easy to decay and degenerate.

If it weren't for the existence of Da Ming and Shen Yichen, I am afraid that he would completely embark on the old road of mediocrity in history, and finally face the fate of betraying his relatives.

But the Da Ming, who quickly recovered his vitality, awakened the soul that belonged to the hero in Yexian's body, and today's thousands of troops and horses of Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, made him return to the peak of his wisdom and martial arts.

I saw a hideous smile on Ye Xian's face, and he also pulled out the scimitar at his waist and shouted: "Descendants of the Immortal Heaven, now the weak Nanban is shouting at us and wants to rob our pasture, what do you say we should do!" ”

"Kill them all!"

The 50,000 fierce Mongolian iron horsemen did not show weakness and gave the Heavenly Sage Khan an answer first.

You must know that the territory of Chijin Mongolia is no longer the Hexi Corridor of the Han people, but the pasture belonging to the Mongolians. In the past, only the warriors of the grassland went south to herd horses, but now the weak Nanban has been bullied to the head, how can this breath be endured?

"Well said!"

"You are the most heroic warriors on the steppe, you are the sons of Genghis Khan, the Seven Guards of Kansai are the territories that once belonged to the Great Yuan, and the four khanates are the territories that belong to the Great Mongolia, and now it is time for us to take them back."

"Immortal Heaven!"

The green tendons on Tiansheng Khan's neck also burst out, and he shouted the battle horn belonging to the Mongols with all his strength, venting the battle intent that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

To be honest, even if there is no Zhongguo Gongshi Hengxi's expedition, the steppe is rectified and the reform of ten thousand households is completed first, and he will also find a way to cancel the vassal status of the seven guards of Guanxi and include it in the official sequence of ten thousand households of the entire Mongolian Khanate.

And first of all, they will follow the traditional Hexi Corridor to launch a westward expedition belonging to the Mongols, and once again regain their suzerainty over the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to enhance their own strength. After all, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate ruled almost all of Central Asia, and in terms of soldiers, horses, and population, it was not inferior to the Mongol Khanate in Mobei.

Only when the two are combined into one, can we have enough strength to challenge Daming again!

Chasing the Central Plains has always been the lifelong dream of the steppe nomads, and without the legal system of the emperor of the Central Plains, then he is only worthy of being called Khan, not worthy of being called emperor.

"Kill them all!"

also waved the saber first, this time he did not watch the command, but chose to take the lead like Shi Heng.

The duel of cavalry always follows the principle that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and whoever is afraid will lose in advance.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides rolled up the dust and collided fiercely together, both sides were elite soldiers belonging to their respective formations, and whether it was the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty or the warriors of the grassland, they had experienced peaks and valleys, and they urgently needed to prove their bravery in front of the world enemy.

The roar of the war horse, the shadow of the sword, the front line where the two waves collided, the lives of countless soldiers disappeared from this world without even splashing. But in many cases, the reason why war makes people feel angry is precisely this courage that transcends life and death, and the purity of interests.

Both sides are fighting for their homeland and for the living space of their clansmen!

When the frontal battlefield is inextricably linked, the flanks of the confrontation between the two client states are quiet and slightly weird.

Surrendered to the Mongol Khanate Shazhou Wei and Andingwei more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, in the face of only more than 10,000 Chijin Mongolian guards, it has an absolute advantage in numbers. And the three parties have been communicating and integrating with each other for a long time, and the combat power and equipment are basically equal, and theoretically they should respond to the Mongolian iron cavalry to launch an offensive!

As the minutes ticked by, Brother Lan, the leader of the Shazhou Guard, who was riding on a war horse, said to Si Taiba, the leader of the Anding Guard, beside him: "The Great Khan's side has already started a war with the Ming army, do we have to continue to wait for Ah Su to make a decision?" ”

The reason why he can become the leader is that the former canonized king of Anding, Sange, died of illness, leaving his young son unable to take charge of the guard, so Sitaiba, who was his uncle, became the de facto regent.

But without the canonization of the Ming State and the title of King of Anding, the source of power will always be unjustifiable. Since the Ming Kingdom followed the etiquette and was unwilling to admit his identity as the leader of his uncle Andingwei, Si Taiba had no choice but to find and canonize first to obtain the right to rule the law.

After all, no matter what, Andingwei is still a member of the Mongolian ethnic group, and after being called Khan first, he has the legal system of the Great Khan of Mongolia, and can canonize all the kings and households.

"If Ah Su doesn't want his people to become slaves of the Han people forever, then he will definitely make a choice."

Si Taiba replied confidently, his friendship with Ah Su is not shallow, and he knows that although the other party has loyalty to Mingguo in his heart, he has not forgotten where his roots are.

The Ming State obviously wanted more than a nominal canonization this time, they planned to annex the entire Guanxi Qiwei and even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Western Regions just like the conquest of Monan Mongolia, and restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties that belonged to them.

But the question is, the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties is based on the history of blood and tears of the Xiongnu and the Turks, and the Mongols are descendants of the northern nomads, do they want to go back to the old path of their ancestors?

No one wants to be a slave of a foreign race, and as the leader of a Mongolian tribe, Asu must ensure the survival and freedom of his people!

Sure enough, at the moment when Sitaiba's words fell, a big battle rose in the confrontational Chijin Mongolian guard camp. This is just like the banner of the Central Plains Dynasty, symbolizing the spiritual banner of the Mongolian warriors, also known as the "Nine White Silk".

Legend has it that this banner was a war spear given to Genghis Khan by the Immortal Heaven, and after adding white horsehair as a hanging tassel, it gradually evolved into the battle flag of the Mongol army.

Now the appearance of this side of the "Nine White Silks" shows that Asu, the leader of Chijin Mongolia, still chooses to fight for Mongolia!

"Sons and daughters, set off and kill the Ming army!"

The Shazhou Guards and the Anding Guards and Horses, who had received the order, rushed to the flank of the Ming army like wild horses on the loose. At the same time, the Chijin Mongolian Guard, who had completed the change of course, was like a confluence of the turbulent tide, and also raised their swords to kill the Ming army.

Seeing this scene, the expression on his face was very complicated, even full of pain. You must know that in history, they have always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty, until the nineteenth year of Chenghua, the Mongolian Yeye Keli Department conquered the Acropolis, and the entire tribe only had more than 1,000 people left and moved to Nanshan in Suzhou Prefecture, Daming.

Since then, the entire Hexi Qiwei has completely fallen and has become a term in the history books.

But in this era, the Ming Dynasty made a comeback after Tumubao, and it was no longer the declining dynasty that had more than enough defense and insufficient offense. No matter how loyal Ah Su is to the Ming Dynasty, he knows that he is always a Mongolian alien, and in the traditional Confucian concept, he is not my race, and his heart will be different.

But if the entire Chijin Mongolian Wei is sinicized, then it will be equivalent to betraying Chang Tiansheng, and Ah Su can't do it either.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and they don't want to be fully annexed by the Ming State, and as a servant army, they fight with the same clan and room, so there is only one way to betray the Ming Dynasty. If Zhongguo Gong Shiheng's westward expedition fails, then the situation in the entire northwest will be maintained, and Ah Su does not recommend that the Chijin Mongols still accept the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.

On the battlefield, Shi Heng and the Mongols were inseparable, and neither side had the absolute strength to quickly put the other party to death. But at this time, the governor and the governor rushed to Shi Heng's side with Shi Chong, and shouted at him: "Uncle, the Chijin Mongolian guard has rebelled!" ”

At this time, Shi Heng was killing vigorously, and he cut the Mongolian cavalry in front of him under his horse with a knife, and he didn't hear what his cousin Shi Chong said clearly. On the contrary, he said in an excited tone: "Chong'er, follow your uncle to fight a bloody path, and the chief is in front first." ”

"Take down his head, and my father will be able to tear the earth and seal the king!"

Shi Heng has never forgotten Shen Yichen's promise to him, and at the same time, he also believes that Shen Yichen will not break his promise. Tiansheng Khan is also the key to the maintenance of the Mongol Khanate, as long as he dies, plus the golden family bloodline of Kublai Khan is wiped out, the entire Tartar tribe will fall into chaos.

At that time, it may not be as simple as the Western Expedition, the Ming Dynasty will launch the Northern Expedition, and the goal will be changed from recovering the Han and Tang Dynasties to the Far Mai Han and Tang Dynasties!

Finding that Shi Heng had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, Shi Chong could only tear open his throat with an anxious face and shout: "Uncle, this group of traitors in Chijin Mongolia has rebelled!" ”

Hearing this, the smile on Shi Heng's face instantly froze, and at the same time, the Ming soldiers around him were even more shocked. The Chijin Mongolian guards were arranged to defend the flanks, and if they reversed, then it would be equivalent to the Ming soldiers and horses being attacked on their backs.

And it was originally 50,000 against 50,000, but it will evolve into 50,000 against 80,000 in an instant.

The other party is the elite of the Tartars led by the Heavenly Saint Khan, and it is not an easy thing to have fewer enemies when the enemy is on the back of the abdomen. What's more, the Hexi Corridor can be seen from the name, the terrain is narrow, and once the war is unfavorable, it will be very difficult to retreat.

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!"

Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, scolded viciously, and then shouted to the soldiers beside him: "A group of local chickens and dogs will be reversed, is there anyone else who thinks that there is more money in war?" ”

"The rear army is my brother Shi Ming's leader to personally guard it, and Chijin Mongolia is a group of wheat waiting to be harvested in front of him, so you should follow this prince to kill forward, and let the chief flee first if you start late, this military achievement may be picked up by friendly troops!"

Shi Heng is worthy of being Shi Heng, even in the face of the rebellion of the servant army, he still maintains a proud fighting spirit. His performance seemed to give the Ming soldiers a reassurance, and the panicked mentality just now calmed down instantly.

Grandpa is right, the servant army is a thing, and the Ming Dynasty has never counted on them to fight.

If you dare not submit, then take their heads to atone for your sins!

The soldiers of the Ming army fought bravely to kill the enemy, but Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, slowed down and leaned to his cousin Shi Chong's side without a trace.

"There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses on Shiming's side, and they may not be able to withstand the impact of the 30,000 Anxi Guards, you hurry up to Jiayuguan to ask for help from Zhangwu Bo Yang Xin!"

Shi Heng did arrange for his younger brother Shi Ming to guard the town, but the object of his guard was not Chijin Mongolia, it was more to prevent Chijin Mongolia from being unable to block the attack of Shazhou Wei and Anding Wei, and was afraid that the rout army and the pursuers would disrupt the reserve force of the formation.

As a result, who would have thought that the Chijin Mongols did not block it at all, and directly rebelled against the enemy, and now Shi Ming's 5,000 reserve army has to face the attack of 30,000 servants. Even if the Ming soldiers have an advantage in equipment and combat power, the Guanxi Qiwei has controlled the trade of the Western Regions for many years, and it has long been not a backward nomadic tribe like the Han and Tang dynasties, and it is almost impossible to defeat an enemy six times their size.

There was no choice, and Shi Heng, the prince of Zhongguo, could only ask for help from the nearest Jiayuguan, where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were stationed.

At the same time, there is another thing that makes Shi Heng feel fortunate is that the general of Jiayu Pass is the general of Zhenbei, who was once the chief soldier of Xuanfu and was posthumously named the nephew of Yang Hong, the Duke of Yingguo.

Compared with Yang Hong's son Yang Jun who escaped from the battle, this nephew Yang Xin seems to be the one who inherited the family's martial arts mantle. At the age of seventeen, he followed his uncle to fight on the battlefield, and during the Jingshi Guard War, he joined forces with Shi Biao to kill the general Ghost Lichi of Wara, and chased and killed the Mongolian soldiers and horses Baili, and the two were awarded the title of Bo together by virtue of their military exploits.

Shi Heng didn't understand at first, why Shen Yichen would transfer Zhangwubo Yang Xin to guard Jiayuguan, but now he knows the reason, this is the foresight of leading the crowd and ready to deal with all changes!
