Chapter Seventy-Four: Charge to the Death!
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent archers to fight back.
"Beat the drums, march!"
Aru Ash gave an order, and then the loud war drums sounded, and more than 10,000 Mengyuan officers and soldiers rushed towards the righteous army.
Although the rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang had nearly 30,000 people, many of them were baggage soldiers, and they could only stay in the rear army and use carts to form a circle to defend themselves and their grain and grass.
The soldiers and horses who can really fight in the front are only more than 10,000 people, which is the same as the soldiers and horses of Meng Yuan on the opposite side.
If you add the Yuan army ambush soldiers in the mountains and forests on both sides, maybe it will be slightly less.
"The Tartars have moved!" Zhu Han used the binoculars to see the enemy's movements.
He immediately shouted at Hu Yiba next to him.
"Hu Yiba, where is the artillery I want!"
"Your Excellency, you're ready!" Hu Yiba shouted loudly.
"Chen Baodao!" Zhu Han snorted again.
"My lord, the last general!" Chen Baodao followed and said.
"Take your selection battalion with you, follow me at any time!" Zhu Han ordered.
Chen Baodao immediately clenched his fists and said, "Obey, my lord!" ”
The three-pound artillery brought by Zhu Han can be as fast as flying with the new gun carriage and support the battle ahead at any time.
He had already planned that the rear army's car formation could not be moved in any case, otherwise it would be extremely easy to cause chaos in the formation.
When the time comes, he will use this three-catty cannon to give the Yuan army a fatal blow at any time.
"My lord, the Tartars are here!"
Hu Yiba suddenly shouted.
Zhu Han looked up and saw the Yuan army in front of him rushing towards the righteous army in the sound of trumpets and drums.
Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome flag wandered back and forth in front, inspiring the soldiers of the righteous army.
The real big war, on the verge of breaking out!
"Kill me!"
Aru Ash gave an order, and tens of thousands of Yuan troops launched a full-line charge.
Zhu Yuanzhang also led the rebel army to make a resolute counterattack.
The knives, guns, and spears of both sides stabbed back and forth, reaping the lives one by one.
"Brothers, kill me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang wore bright silver armor and brandished a long sword to inspire the soldiers of the rebel army on the front.
Everywhere he went, it immediately boosted the morale of the rebels.
The Yuan army had more elite armor, but they couldn't advance a bit, and the two sides didn't get the slightest advantage in the fighting.
The soldiers on both sides kept falling, and the soldiers in the back row did not hesitate to make up for it.
"These damn thieves!"
Aru Ash looked at the scorching battle ahead, and he was already distressed and about to drip blood.
As more and more Yuan soldiers fell, Aru Ash became more and more anxious.
These soldiers of the Yuan Army are basically all the elite of the Mongols and Semu people in the Jiangbei area.
That's one less dead!
All the Mongols and Semu people in the entire Jiangnan area can no longer gather 20,000 people, seeing that so many lives have been scrambled, and the elite of the red turban thieves has not wavered in the slightest, Aru Gray can't help but be anxious.
Suddenly.
His eyes saw a young general in bright silver armor under the red flag of the Red Turban Army in front of him, waving his sword and raising his arms and shouting.
Aru Gray guessed that it must be a member of the Red Turban Thieves.
If this general can be killed, the red turban thief battle line will definitely be shaken, and when the time comes, if you strike with all your strength, you may be able to win a big victory.
"Come on, get all the Condor Shooters!"
Aru Ash ordered to the soldiers beside him.
Condor archer is the Mongolian honorific title for archers, but it is not true that they have all shot steppe eagles, after all, that thing is very rare, but everyone is a rare archer in the army.
In Aru Ash's army, there are no more than ten people who can be called Condor Archers, and Aru Ash himself is one of them.
Soon, eight other Condor Shooters arrived.
Aru Ash pointed ahead at them, and then said.
"See that armored thief, let's snipe him together!"
Several people stared ahead with sharp eyes, and all nodded vigorously.
Soon, several people just dispersed.
Aru Grey also took out his hard bow and prepared himself.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that he had been targeted by the Mongols, he just wanted to inspire the soldiers of the righteous army to fight to the end, and when the morale of the Tartars was exhausted, he would lead Xu Da and other elites to select a weak point and rush to fight!
Zhu Yuanzhang rode back and forth on a horse to supervise the battle, and the personal soldiers beside him held shields to protect, but there would always be gaps exposed.
In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang sometimes needs to let the soldiers of the rebel army see him, and he will ask the soldiers to take away their shields and not cover them.
Aru Grey was planning to take advantage of this opportunity.
Several of the Condor Archers chose different angles and prepared to launch a sneak attack at the same time.
The bows and arrows they use are specially made, not only are they powerful, but the arrows are stained with horse manure, and anyone who is hit by an arrow will never survive.
In order to ensure the success of the sneak attack, each Condor archer was covered by Yuan soldiers in front of them to prevent the enemy on the opposite side from seeing their movements.
Aru Ash held a bow and arrows, pulled the bowstring out of a beautiful full moon, and the arrow in his hand aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang from the gap between the bodies of the two personal soldiers in front of him.
"Flash!"
Aru Ash suddenly shouted, and the two pro-soldiers immediately dodged to the sides, revealing their complete vision.
The rest of the Yuan soldiers in front of the Condor Shooters all reacted in the same way.
"Medium!"
Immediately afterward, Aru Ash shouted again.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, there was a trembling sound of bowstrings.
Aru Ash was shot along with the heavy arrows of the other eight Condor Archers.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was immediately swinging his sword to boost morale, did not perceive the danger at all.
When the soldiers beside him noticed the abnormality, it was already too late.
"Marshal, be careful!"
Even if two pro-soldiers flew to block, there was still a heavy arrow that hit Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Hmm!!"
This arrow hit Zhu Yuanzhang's collarbone, and the sharp arrow drilled into the pores of the armor and deeply inserted into Zhu Yuanzhang's flesh.
The huge strength and pain made Zhu Yuanzhang fall off the horse suddenly.
If it weren't for a few pro-soldiers next to him flying to support him, Zhu Yuanzhang would have fallen to the ground.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
Everyone was panicked and came over to check.
The severe pain made Zhu Yuanzhang break out in a cold sweat in an instant, and he was almost speechless.
He reckoned that his collarbone might have been broken by the arrow!
This scene seemed to Aru Gray in the distance, but he was happy!
"Haha, hit!"
Aru watched the enemy general fall, and he knew that he had succeeded.
The Mongols' tactics of sniping and killing enemy generals can be described as a housekeeping skill passed down from generation to generation, and they often have miraculous effects against enemy generals who dare to rush into battle.
Today, it seems to be another successful case.
"Look at that banner, it seems to be the thief Zhu Yuanzhang?"
Aru Gray quickly thought, whether he is Zhu Yuanzhang or not, just treat him according to Zhu Yuanzhang.
