The official army of Meng Yuan occupied Qingyuan Town in advance, and would definitely arrange fortifications, and maybe they would set up ambushes and wait for the Red Turban Army to crash into it.

"Brother, Qingyuan Town can't get around, it seems that this Aru Gray is not easy to deal with." Zhu Han said.

They marched all the way, which was relatively fast, and they could advance more than 30 miles a day, but they were still more than a day behind the Mengyuan army.

Tens of thousands of troops marched, and the length of the team alone was more than ten miles in front and back, plus the need to maintain the marching formation and camp overnight in advance, the marching speed of more than thirty miles a day was already the limit of the Red Turban Army.

"It's really hard to deal with, but we're not scared, it's not just a Tartar provincial Zhongcheng, let's go and meet him in person!" Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is leading an army of more than 30,000 people, stretching for more than ten miles before and after, which can be described as a situation of swallowing mountains and rivers with anger, and he is really not afraid of this Alu gray.

"Xu Da!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

"Marshal, the last general!" Xu Da hurriedly responded.

Zhu Yuanzhang put on his helmet and commanded Xu Da.

"Gather all the two hundred cavalry, and let's go and explore the reality of this gang of Tartars!"

Zhu Han took a look, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was planning to personally investigate the enemy.

It's too dangerous!

The rebel army only has 200 cavalry, although it is considered brave and good at fighting, but there are Mongols in the Tartars on the opposite side, not only the number of cavalry is more, but the combat effectiveness will be stronger.

If you get bitten by a tartar, it's very dangerous.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Han immediately spoke out to persuade him.

"Brother, you have to be calm, this is too dangerous!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care, he smiled at his younger brother Zhu Han, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"What are you afraid of, our fate is big, the Tartars can't do anything to me, this time it's a general against the Tartars, we must know ourselves and the other!"

"If you are chased by the Tartars, it will be too dangerous." Zhu Han hurriedly said.

When he was marching yesterday, Zhu Han had just told his brother Zhu Yuanzhang that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had captured the two kings in the first battle of the Tiger Prison, and today he was going to personally investigate the military situation, which was too scary.

"Haha, look at our cavalry, all of them are tall horses, running faster than the wind, those cavalry of the Tartars are not our opponents!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Han glanced at the side of the team and felt that this was the case.

The mounts and horses of the Xiao cavalry of the righteous army were all Ili horses obtained by Zhu Han.

The Ili horses had both speed and endurance, far better than the mounts of the Mengyuan cavalry.

"Okay, don't worry, let's go investigate the military situation, you stay and watch the big battalion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, and gave all the Shuai Yin and Ling Arrow to Zhu Han.

"Brother, you must be careful!"

Zhu Han is no longer a mother-in-law, and took over Shuai Yin and Ling Jian and said.

Fighting the tiger's brothers, Zhu Han, as the marshal's younger brother, naturally has no problem with the temporary commander's battalion.

After the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang led two hundred cavalry to leave, Zhu Han immediately ordered the whole army to strengthen the security and be ready to obey orders at any time.

All night, the Red Turban Army was heavily guarded, but there was not the slightest hostile situation.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Zhu Yuanzhang finally led the cavalry back.

When Zhu Han got the report, he immediately came to the camp gate, and as soon as he saw his brother Zhu Yuanzhang, they found that the battle was fruitful.

Two hundred horsemen, each with one or two Tartar heads under the saddle.

"Haha, these Tartars are nothing more than that, we killed more than 300 people, and not even a single hair was damaged!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

Xu Da behind him was also excited, and he also followed suit.

"Yes, I thought these Tartar cavalry were so powerful, but except for the cavalry and archery, they all collapsed in one charge."

When Zhu Han heard this, he was immediately surprised.

Recently, the Xiao cavalry of the Righteous Army has been adopting formalized cavalry training in accordance with Zhu Han's suggestion, paying more attention to group charge coordination and avoiding the shortcomings of individual bravery.

Unexpectedly, the results were so rich.

"Brother, those Tartars didn't chase after you, did they?" Zhu Han hurriedly asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang pouted disdainfully, "They don't dare!" sent more than 500 to chase and kill, and most of them were killed by us, who dared to chase them. ”

The Yi cavalry was not only better trained and better equipped, but also the Ili horses they rode had the advantage of size and speed, and the defeated Tatar cavalry could not run if they wanted to.

After a tugging battle, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to an easy victory, and the remaining Tartar cavalry scattered in a hurry, and they no longer dared to catch up.

"We have also found out that there are more than 20,000 Tartar soldiers and horses led by Alu Gray, and there are more than 20,000 Ding Zhuang Han troops, and they have enough food and grass, and they have begun to dig ditches and walls in Qingyuan Town. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The rebels attacked Chuzhou for the sake of the population, grain and grass there, and naturally the sooner the better.

"Brother, then let's move on!" Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then gave an order.

"Order, the whole army is open, the enemy is in Qingyuan Town!"

"The whole army is open, and the enemy is in Qingyuan Town!"

。。。

Qingyuan Town.

Zhongcheng Aru Ash is furious.

"Useless things, there are only two hundred thieves, but let them run!"

"Not only did you run away, but you also killed more than 300 of me, you all deserve to die!"

In front of Aru Ash, kneeling were several trembling generals.

After a burst of anger, Aru Ash did not punish them severely.

"Now that the war is imminent, you will be guilty of meritorious service, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

Several of the guilty generals hurriedly thanked Ling.

At this time, a general next to him came up and said to Aru Ash.

"Aha, the anti-thief is arrogant, we can't bear this bad breath, it's better to immediately advance to meet the attack!"

This general is Hardy, the younger brother of Aru Ash, who is also the deputy commander of the army.

"No, these thieves just want to deliberately provoke us and let us leave the fortress of Qingyuan Town, in this case, we just don't leave, just nail it here, if they have a kind, then come to attack, anyway, I have already arranged ambushes, when they attack our army, the ambushes on both sides will be killed."

Aru Gray said and smiled contemptuously, as if he had already seen the picture of Zhu Yuanzhang, the leader of the red scarf thief, being captured and killed.

"At that time, our army will send troops to pursue, conquer Dingyuan City all the way, and wipe them out!"

According to Alu Ash's calculations, he took part of the Meng Yuan army and all the Ding Zhuang Han army as the middle army, and used obstacles to block the Red Turban Army in Qingyuan Town, and the Meng Yuan elite who were ambushed in the mountains, forests and hills on both sides would rush to kill the Red Turban Army in the back at the right time and give them a fatal blow.

"Hardy, the task of attacking the flank of the thief army will be handed over to you, and when the time comes, you must not be soft, give me a fierce blow!" Aru Ash said.
