In the twelfth year of the year, November.

Emperor Tuhuan Timur issued an edict that he would lead an army of millions to conquer Huainan, intending to completely eradicate Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, the two red turban thieves who blocked the traffic between Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

With the issuance of the edict of the imperial driver, the following edicts were also secretly issued everywhere.

Among them, he issued an edict to the prime minister who was fighting in Gaoyou, asking him to besiege Zhang Shicheng in Gaoyou and Zhu Yuanzhang in Wulonghe, but they were resolutely not allowed to launch a general attack to eliminate the thieves, and they had to wait until Emperor Dayuan personally came to harvest the fruits of these two victories.

In addition, he also issued an edict to Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, Pingzhangji of Jiangxi Province and other people, so that they must be prepared to welcome Emperor Dayuan at any time after exterminating the red turban thieves in Jiangbei, send a large amount of grain and grass, silver money and silk and other goods to the army, and Emperor Dayuan Tuhuan Timur will also cross the Yangtze River to tour the south, restore the transportation of the two rivers, sea transportation, salt officials, and finally transport the taxes accumulated for more than a year to Dadu.

As for the edict to mobilize elite soldiers to escort the northern provinces, it is even more indispensable.

As soon as the news of Emperor Dayuan's personal expedition came out, the world immediately shook!

。

。

Zhuxian Town, Henan.

The generals of the Red Turban Army gathered, and under the leadership of Liu Futong, they gathered around the Great Song Emperor 'Zhao' Lin'er to discuss military aircraft in the Chinese military tent.

"Alas! The Tartar puppet emperor drove the expedition in person, it seems that the Tartars still have confidence, and our Bianliang will not be able to fight for a while! ”

Prime Minister Liu Futong sighed and said.

When Mr. Guan, Mao Gui, Potou Pan and other generals heard this, they all nodded frequently.

The Red Turban Army began to attack Bianliang from Yingzhou all the way to the north, and originally planned to attack Mengyuan in the north after breaking through Bianliang.

However, they did not expect that in the first battle of Bianliang, Meng Yuan emerged several generals, such as Chakhan Timur, Li Siqi and other regimental training generals, so that the Red Turban Army could not make the slightest progress under Bianliang City.

Even the acupoint attack and blasting method taught to them by Zhu Han could not be used at all, because these Mengyuan soldiers and horses did not defend the city, but took the initiative to attack many times, so that the Red Turban Army could not form an effective acupoint attack at all, let alone what kind of blasting.

Seeing that more and more grain and grass were being consumed, the Red Turban Army took the initiative to retreat to Zhuxian Town, south of Bianliang, and began to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the news that Emperor Mengyuan was preparing to drive the expedition in person came, and Liu Futong immediately planned to get off the donkey, return to Yingzhou first, and wait until the spring of next year.

"Prime Minister, if Bianliang City is not defeated, then our three-way Northern Expedition will not fail?"

The Great Song Emperor 'Zhao' Lin'er, who was sitting on a tiger skin chair, asked.

Liu Futong bowed his hand respectfully. "Your Majesty, there is no way for the minister, the Tartar Emperor drove the expedition to Jiangbei in person, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be able to resist it, our army can not take Bianliang first, or it can not go north first, but we must not let the Tartars recapture Jiangbei!"

'Zhao' Lin'er's father Han Shantong died at the hands of the Mongols, and he naturally wanted to kill the capital immediately to avenge his father.

He is only thirteen years old, and he has no knowledge, if it weren't for Liu Futong's support for him, he would still be herding sheep in the ravine.

However, Liu Futong's attitude was respectful, and he did not mean to snub the little emperor at all.

"Your Majesty, the taxes and grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River are all dependent on the transportation of the river and sea, once Zhu Yuanzhang in the north of the Yangtze River is defeated, the Tartars will be able to transport the grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River to the north in a steady stream, and feed up millions of soldiers and horses, we will be in danger, although our army has not captured Bianliang, but the Tartars there are already unable to attack, as long as our army holds the north of the river, we can also find a chance to start over, the army competes, and does not care about the temporary gains and losses!" Liu Futong said patiently.

After hearing this, Zhao' Lin'er also felt that it made sense, so he nodded and said: "What the prime minister said, it must be reasonable, I hope that the prime minister and the big guy, don't forget to avenge my father!" ”

Liu Futong is another arch. "Your Majesty, rest assured, the enemy of the emperor, we will never dare to forget, wait until we hold the Jiangbei, let the Tartar emperor retract back to the capital, and then we will go on a northern expedition and capture the dog Tartar alive!"

"Okay, that's very good, if anyone can capture the Dog Tartar Emperor alive, I will make him the king of one word and shoulder to shoulder!" Emperor Zhao of the Great Song Dynasty said excitedly.

When Liu Futong heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and the rest of the generals also looked like they were holding back a smile when they heard this.

"Alas, Lin Er, this kid, I've watched a lot of dramas recently, where did you come from!" Liu Futong secretly complained.

Since there was no hope of capturing Bianliang, the Red Turban Army immediately pulled out its camp and returned to Yingzhou, and the huge Zhuxian Town was soon emptied.

The hedgehog gathered more than 100,000 yuan troops in Bianliang, and it was only two days later that they found out the information about the retreat of the Red Turban Army.

All of a sudden, there were cheers inside and outside Bianliang City.

Pingzhang Temur of Henan Province immediately played Emperor Tuhuan Timur, claiming that 'fortunately thanks to the divine power of the Son of Heaven, the thieves fled in despair, and the minister led the army to chase and cut down thirty miles and captured countless pieces'.

Emperor Dayuan Tuhuan Timur, who got the performance, suddenly smiled crookedly with joy.

Under the relay praise of Hama and others, Tuhuan Timur was even more convinced of the power of his own royal conquest.

Several Mongol nobles wrote to dissuade him from taking the expedition in person, and he was immediately severely punished.

"My prestige, the thief heard the news and collapsed, if you personally conquer Huainan, why worry about the injustice of the world, the thief will not be destroyed, if you dare to stop it again, you will be punished with thieves!"

Tuhuan Timur's harshly worded edict made the ministers of the Mengyuan Yuan dare not have any more opinions.

Especially in order to drive the expedition in person, Emperor Tuhuan Timur ordered the eleven-year-old crown prince Aiyou to stay in the capital prison country.

In this way, Empress Qi, the crown prince's biological mother, united a group of ministers to brag about the emperor's imperial conquest, and also urgently mobilized 5,000 elite soldiers from Liaoyang Province and Goryeo, lest the emperor's imperial conquest would not be successful.

"I want to drive the royal expedition in person, and if I don't sweep away the red scarf thief Zhu brothers, I will not return to Beijing!"

。

。

When Tuhuan Timur's edict reached Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Pingzhang Bolu and Fan Yao and other confidants and officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were immediately frightened.

For two days in a row, Boru didn't think about tea and dinner, and thought hard about countermeasures.

Because in the edict, Emperor Mengyuan had already expressed his determination to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, rebuild the salt officials, and rectify the tax arrears in Jiangnan.

Each of these can take Boru's life, not only his own life, but the whole family who stayed in the capital may not survive.

Today, Liu Bowen, who went to inspect the defense of eastern Zhejiang, came back, and Beru and Fan Yao couldn't wait to find Liu Bowen to discuss countermeasures.

"The princes of the imperial court, they are all some wine bags and rice bags, why don't you stop Your Majesty from driving the conquest in person, the soldiers are in danger, in case you hurt the dragon body, how can it be good!" Berlu shouted angrily.

Liu Bowen was on the side, and he already knew the thoughts of Bolu and the others.

Emperor Tuhuan Timur can't come to Jiangnan no matter what, once he comes to Jiangnan, the that Bolu and Fan Yao have done will definitely be exposed.

Once it is exposed, the officialdom of the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will be a bloody storm.

In particular, once Emperor Mengyuan was able to come to Jiangnan, it would mean that the Red Turban Army in Jiangbei would definitely be defeated.

"My lord, the princes of the court dare not advise on this matter, we must advise, my lord should quickly write to Your Majesty to discourage the royal driver." Liu Bowen said.

Boru shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't matter, I have already written twice, but I have been reprimanded, if I write again, I am afraid that Your Majesty will suspect that we have another purpose." ”

Fan Yao also said beside him: "Berwyn, you are resourceful, hurry up and think of a way for us, otherwise once Your Majesty arrives with a large army, you and I will be prisoners!" ”

When Liu Bowen heard this, he was already frowning.

When he was in eastern Zhejiang, he had already heard the rumor that Emperor Mengyuan was going south, and he had already prepared for the worst.

Liu Bowen pondered for a while, and then said: "Now that hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounded by Gaoyou, and hundreds of thousands of Timur's troops are stationed in Wulonghe, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng are both fierce and unlucky, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to do." ”

As soon as they heard Liu Bowen say this, Bolu and Fan Yao were sweating on their foreheads in a hurry.

"Berwyn, if it weren't for such a danger, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to get you back." Burlu said.

"Yes, Berwyn, think about it again, how to get Your Majesty to take back his life and not come to Jiangnan?" Fan Yao said anxiously.

In the face of Bolu and Fan Yao's pleading, Liu Bowen thought about it again before he spoke.

"Two adults, now that the situation is unknown, if Liu Ji talks about it here, it will only be a bad thing, so it is better for me to go to the state overnight to explore the actual situation in Jiangbei!"

When Bo Lu and Fan Yao heard this, they immediately nodded.

The Mengyuan army in Jiangbei is all under the control of Toto, but Totoku is already suspicious of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and Bolu and others can't detect any information at all.

There was no other communication with all the orders and dispatches of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except for urging the formation of a naval army to transport military rations.

Time was pressing, Liu Bowen didn't even bother to go back to his home, so he immediately dressed up in disguise and took Bo Lu and Fan Yao's two henchmen to Zhuzhou by boat.

Although the war in Jiangbei was raging, the Red Turban Army still firmly controlled the shipping in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

After Liu Bowen and his ship left the vicinity of Jiqing, they immediately hung up the signal flag given by the Red Turban Army, and came to Zhuzhou unimpeded along the way.

As soon as they entered the territory of the prefecture, a special Red Turban Army soldier led them into the city.

As Shi Nai'an, who stayed behind in addition to the state, he immediately met with Liu Bowen.

"Berwyn, what is the matter with coming overnight?" Shi Nai'an asked.

He saw that Liu Bowen was followed by two strangers, so he asked in a deliberately cold tone.

Liu Bowen didn't care about any politeness, and immediately introduced the two people behind him to Shi Nai'an.

As soon as he heard that these two people were the henchmen of Bo Lu and Fan Yao, Shi Nai'an was relieved on the spot.

Since this is the case, it means that there is no change in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, it must be for something else.

After a few people sat down, Liu Bowen immediately asked.

"Brother Shi, do you know where the deputy marshal is now?"

Shi Nai'an pondered for a while, not knowing how to answer, after all, it is always difficult to speak rashly about military aircraft.

"Oh, Brother Shi, don't worry, now that Emperor Mengyuan is going to come to Jiangnan in person, you and I are all on the same boat, what do you have to worry about!" Liu Bowen was a little anxious.

"Okay, let's not hide it, the deputy marshal is now in Wulong River!" Shi Nai'an said.

"Send me to the lieutenant and marshal!" Liu Bowen said.

"What, that's not going to work." Shi Nai'an was a little reluctant.

From the military orders and intelligence from the front, Shi Nai'an knew that the Wulong River in front was in a tense confrontation, and Timur had suffered a defeat and had been dragged to the Wulong River, and they would be trapped in another ten days and half a month.

Zhu Yuanzhang's military order was almost three times a day, so that Zhuzhou and Dingyuan emptied the grain depots to support the front.

At such a critical time, letting Liu Bowen take two Mengyuan officials to the front line, Shi Nai'an felt that it was extremely inappropriate.

"The front line is an important place for military aircraft, and if you want to go, Berwyn, you need to ask the adjutant and marshal first." Shi Nai'an said.

Liu Bowen had no choice but to wait for Shi Nai'an to send someone six hundred miles to deliver the letter urgently.

When Shi Nai'an sent someone to deliver the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were also discussing the matter of Emperor Mengyuan's personal conquest.

"This dog Tartar Emperor, I heard that I hugged the girls every day to eat, drink and have fun, I didn't expect that I still had the courage to come to the royal expedition." Zhu Yuanzhang said helplessly.

If Emperor Mengyuan drove the expedition in person, it would definitely be with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

They now dragged Timur to the Wulong River, just waiting to consume their grain and grass and then eat them, and then they could turn east to rescue Zhang Shicheng in Gaoyou.

Now, Emperor Mengyuan suddenly wants to drive the expedition in person, then they may have no way to rescue Gaoyou.

"After all, he is the descendant of a generation of ruthless Temujin, and he still has a bit of blood, not to mention, I estimate that he expected that the battle of Jiangbei would be won, so he had the courage to come out and conquer in person." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Brother, then what do you say, the Dog Tartar Emperor is here with a large army, and we will watch Zhang Shicheng being killed by Totok?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng or Wang Shicheng, it doesn't matter.

However, Gaoyou's salt industry has already given them a huge sweetness, and once Zhang Shicheng is defeated, it will be the loss of today's largest source of wealth.

Moreover, once Gaoyou falls into the hands of the Yuan army, the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will also have a huge recurrence, and there are many remnants of the shipyard built by the Meng Yuan officials in Yangzhou, and it is not a problem to restore a naval army.

"Gaoyou, take a hair and move the whole body! There must be no mistakes, but I haven't figured out what to do about how to deal with the Dog Tartar Emperor's personal expedition. Zhu Han said helplessly.

His heart has already been dripping, the last emperor of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty in history, Emperor Tuhuan Timur is a famous faint monarch.

What to eat, drink and have fun, what is the magic of the demon monk in the Western Regions, what is the sixteen-day demon dance, what government decree is not out of the capital, that is all recorded in history clearly.

How can you come to the Imperial Expedition?

Why did you come to the Imperial Expedition?

Zhu Han has never figured out what went wrong with the direction of history.

The two thought hard, but they couldn't find a good solution.

Early the next morning, Zhu Han and the others received a report from the guards, saying that Shi Nai'an sent someone to deliver an urgent report.

When Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang saw the letter, they were immediately surprised.

He smiled and said to his brother Zhu Yuanzhang; "Great, I've thought of a good way to deal with this Dog Tartar Emperor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately widened, and he asked with a look of surprise.

"Tell me, what's the solution?"

Zhu Han raised the letter in his hand. "Let Liu Bowen, oh, no, it should be let Bolu them, help us capture the thief first!"

"Capture the thief and capture the king first?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of doubts.

。

。

Liu Bowen and the two envoys sent by Bolu Fan Yao soon came to the Wulong River at an expedited speed of six hundred miles under the escort of the Red Turban Army guards.

As soon as they came to the battle line, Liu Bowen and the three of them were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The vast field is full of vertical and horizontal ditches and low walls, and dense spikes are stacked on top of each other.

Dozens of miles of trenches and other obstacles blocked more than 100,000 yuan troops on the banks of the Wulong River.

Even so, tens of thousands of Han Chinese husbands braved the cold to continue to build fortifications, weaving wooden strips of straw into frames, then filling them with mud and other debris, and finally stacking them layer by layer, and a low wall one person high was built.

Liu Bowen's heart was already shocked.

"Brother Zhu, is it because you are born to be a general? It was able to make the people willing to brave the wind and snow, and use this wonderful method to trap the more than 100,000 troops of Timur, if it were not for the natural talent, I am afraid it would be difficult to think of learning from anyone! ”

But.

This shock in Liu Bowen's heart, after seeing Zhu Han, was immediately swept away by another even greater shock.

As soon as they met, the two sides didn't even care about being polite, and immediately went straight to the point.

After listening to Liu Bowen's narration, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han glanced at each other, and then said firmly.

"Sir, what do you mean, we already understand, that is to say, Bolu and them, don't want their emperor to go to Jiangnan, or even let them arrive in Gaoyou, right?"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Liu Bowen had not yet answered, and the two envoys who accompanied him had already answered first.

"That's right, that's what my master confessed!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other and smiled, and then continued.

"Okay, since that's the case, then we can do you a favor and don't let Tuhuan Timur go to Huainan!"

The two of them were overjoyed when they saw this, they were all the henchmen of Beru Fan Yao, everything was naturally based on their own masters, what Mongolian Great Khan, what Great Yuan Emperor, they all had to stand in the back.

Zhu Han took over the conversation and continued to speak to them.

"But if you want us to help, you'll have to help us with something!"

"Vice Marshal, don't know what you want? Is it grain, money, or cotton cloth? Liu Bowen asked curiously.

He didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers would be able to agree to help so happily.

Liu Bowen has not yet guessed how the Zhu brothers want to solve this problem.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, crossed his fingers and began to count what he wanted.

"I want 10,000 uniforms of your Dayuan officers and soldiers and a banner and drum, it must be brand new!"

"Three thousand horses, delivered here in ten days!"

"We also need to know the number of troops and horses accompanying Emperor Meng Yuan, the route of travel and the exact marching schedule!"

After listening to Zhu Han's request, Liu Bowen's face changed greatly, and he had already guessed what Zhu Han wanted to do!

Liu Bowen is known as Zhuge Liang in the world, so he naturally immediately guessed Zhu Han's purpose for wanting these things.

After some explanations, Liu Bowen and the three of them finally remembered all the requirements.

In particular, the two henchmen of Bolu and Fan Yao said without any psychological burden that they would guarantee that the master would agree to the conditions of the Zhu Han brothers, no matter what the method was, as long as they could stop Emperor Mengyuan's footsteps.

Since they cooperated so happily, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang already felt half reassured in their hearts.

"Don't worry, we can swear to the bright moon and stars tonight, and we will never let your emperor see the Yangtze River!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Liu Bowen and the three of them got what they wanted, and they didn't care about any fatigue and rest, so they set off overnight and hurried all the way back to Jiqing to recover their lives.

After the three of them left, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han discussed again.

"If you want to solve the Dog Tartar Emperor, then you must hurry up and solve these horses and horses of Timur!" Zhu Han said.

"We think it's almost time to close the net!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, looking happy and excited.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the climate belonged to a period of cold, and the Huainan area was snowy and frozen.

Zhu Han mobilized the surrounding people, built a trench and a low wall to encircle, and when the heavy snow passed, Timur and they were already unable to escape.

After two failed attempts to break through, Timur had already exhausted his military rations and grass, and even his mounts were almost gone.

Zhu Han estimated that those Yuan troops had been out of cooking for two or three days.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, I can't wait any longer, it's time to close the net." Zhu Han also smiled.

Timur, who had been besieged for nearly a month, was already blackened and sunken at this time, looking like a withered weed waiting to die.

"My lord, there was a fight in the army and seven or eight people died, what should I do?"

A general of the Yuan army walked into the big tent of the Chinese army with a sallow face and asked.

At first, Timur did not raise his head, but gnawed on the dry and hard horse meat, and then asked, "Who died?" ”

"A few people with colored eyes." The general of the Yuan army said.

"Fight for food and die?" Timur also asked.

"Yes!"

"Death is death, leave him alone." Timur also said indifferently.

After the previous incident of the Han rebellion in the Yuan army, tens of thousands of Han soldiers fled, and now most of the army are hardcore traitor soldiers and Semu soldiers.

The Mongol princes bullied them, even if they were bullied to death, they wouldn't care.

He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself.

The army stopped eating for three days, but they couldn't break through the low walls of the trenches of the red turban thieves, so they could only wait here for a turnaround.

But.

Even if Timur wanted to shrink back, it quickly became a luxury.

The next day, in the early hours of the morning.

Most of the soldiers of the Yuan army endured a night of cold and hunger, and finally fell asleep, when they suddenly heard bursts of drums and cannons roaring in the night sky and the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

Rumble!

Boom!

From time to time, there was a wailing and screaming in the camp of the Yuan army.

Timur also rushed out of the tent wrapped in a robe.

"What's going on!?"

"My lord, it's not good, the red turban thief is attacking!"

Several of the soldiers shouted in horror.

Timur also saw that under the dark night sky, the Yuan army camp was already in chaos.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who had been starving for several days, did not have much strength to organize a counterattack, and they had no other action except panic.

Rumble!

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the gate of the Yuan army camp was smashed by a cannon bombardment.

Timur was shocked when he saw this, and he couldn't imagine that the camp gate, which had the strongest protection, would be blasted open by the red turban thieves so quickly.

"Quick! Beat our firebolts up and beat the thieves hard! ”

"Go!"

Under the supervision of Timur, the Yuan army finally restored some order.

However, in the eyes of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang, all this is already a trapped beast at the end of the road, and there is nothing to fear.

"Haha, brother, your cannon is so good! Such a strong camp gate was blasted open in a few clicks! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the broken gate of the Yuan military camp in the distance, and said loudly with joy.

At this time, several twelve-pounder bronze cannons of the Red Turban Army were still violently bombarding the Yuan army camp.

This kind of bronze artillery of nearly 2,000 catties is already the pinnacle of breech guns, not only weighs only half of the same power cannon, but also with the gun carriage specially made by Zhu Han, it can quickly maneuver and bomb the Yuan army camp to pieces.

"It's still a little bit better, if the training is better, the results should be better now!"

Zhu Han saw the Yuan army camp in front of him, and some of the broken camp walls were broken from the top half, which was very unfavorable to the attack of the Red Turban Army.

The best result is naturally to uproot the enemy's camp so that the concession army can enter the camp unimpeded.

Rumble!

Suddenly, there was also a roar in the Yuan army.

The hundreds of artillery pieces carried by the Yuan army also launched a counterattack.

However, these most primitive artillery, not only the caliber power is too small, but also the movement is not flexible, and they were soon knocked out one by one by the large and small artillery of the Red Turban Army by taking advantage of the range advantage.

By the time the sky was bright, the entire Yuan army camp was already in a mess.

There are as many as twenty or thirty large and small gaps.

"Brother, it's time!" Zhu Han looked into the distance and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly, and then rode out and came to the front of the whole army.

I saw him pointing to the Yuan military camp in front of him with his hand and shouting loudly.

"Brothers, the time has come for meritorious service!"

"Kill the Tartars, rob the military merits!"

"Kill the thief!"

One person shouted, and the crowd responded.

The entire Red Turban Army formation was immediately boiling.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

The murderous aura that rushed straight into the sky immediately caused the Yuan army on the opposite side to fall into a huge panic.

Timur was still making his last struggle.

"Elite soldiers, all go and plug the gap!"

"Tori doesn't spend, you take the troops and horses of your headquarters to assemble and prepare to flank the thieves!"

With a series of orders issued, the Yuan army was ready for the final battle.

But.

The elite soldiers they used to place in the gaps did not serve any purpose.

Because the artillery of the Red Turban Army moved forward with the infantry army, it aimed at the gap in front and launched a fierce scatterbombardment.

Rumble!

The iron beads gushing out shredded the Meng Yuan elites who were stubborn and stubborn.

The tragic wails sounded in the camp, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, who had been hungry for several days, could no longer hold on.

"Defeated!"

I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers of the Yuan Army on the entire front immediately turned around and fled.

Regardless of any military orders or brigades, they completely gave up their intention to continue the battle, and fled to the back of the camp like crazy.

Behind the Yuan army camp is the Wulong River, the Red Turban Army also built a camp wall on the other side of the river, in order to escape for their lives, many people of the Yuan army began to jump into the icy river, ready to swim downstream and then go ashore to escape.

However, they all overestimated their own water nature, and most of them did not swim far at all, and one by one they sank into the icy river with convulsions of their hands and feet.

The remaining Yuan soldiers didn't dare to rush into the water anymore, but the shouts of killing behind them became more and more intense.

In particular, the Red Turban Army shouted the slogan of leaving no prisoners, which made these Mengyuan soldiers even more frightened.

Surrender, that's already impossible!

"Look, there's a ship!

”

"There's a boat!"

Suddenly, in the midst of the chaos, someone spotted more than a dozen ferries floating from upstream.

These Yuan soldiers let out a burst of cheers as if they had found a life-saving straw.

However, these dozen boats instead became a talisman for the deserters of the Yuan army.

Tens of thousands of routers began to scramble for the ships, and they fought with each other, which turned into cannibalism, just for the slightest chance of getting on the ships.

"Kill!"

"Kill the thief!"

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals led the soldiers to charge into battle, and soon took most of the Yuan army camp.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, surrounded by guards, strode into the Yuan army camp.

The remaining Yuan troops were all crowded to the bank of the Wulong River, and Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang climbed the arrow tower and saw the scene of the Yuan army fighting each other for the ferry at a glance.

"Hahaha, Tartar is starting dog-eat-dog!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

The dozen or so ferries that suddenly appeared on the Wulong River were exactly what Zhu Han ordered to prepare in advance.

The purpose is naturally to let the Yuan army rout and kill each other.

"Our army is running out of food and grass, and we can't feed these Mongol and Semu captives, so when their numbers are smaller, we will send people to surrender!" Zhu Han also said with a relaxed face.

Today's Red Turban Army food and grass have been almost consumed, and most of them are used to supply the people who come to serve.

The more than 100,000 yuan army was defeated and could not be fed at all.

Only the dead Yuan army is a good Yuan army.

"Pass our military order, let Xu Da, Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying, and Chang Yuchun not be soft, drive the Yuan army to the river, and let them go into the water to feed Wang Ba!" Zhu Yuanzhang ordered loudly.

"Yes, handsome!"

Immediately afterward, bursts of dense trumpets and drums sounded in the Red Turban Army.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others led the infantry army to charge harder, and more Yuan troops were either killed or driven to the Wulong River.

Under the roar of the cold wind, tens of thousands of troops stepped into the water of the Bingling River, wanting to make a living.

They slashed and trampled on each other, and soon caused huge casualties on the shore.

Layers of corpses, flowing down the river.

Because there were too many corpses, they began to slowly deposition and cloak in places where the water was flowing gently.

The corpses of these Yuan soldiers blocked the river and made it impossible to flow.

It wasn't until noon that the Red Turban Army was completely over to loot the remnants of the army.

A large number of Yuan soldiers were killed or wounded in the trampling of each other, and the number of survivors and prisoners was only more than 20,000.

Even if there are only more than 20,000 people left, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han dislike it too much.

"Dashuai, more than 20,000 Tartar soldiers, all of them have lost their strength, and they can't run if they want to!" Xu Da said happily.

"Twenty thousand, that's too much, we're only fifty or sixty thousand, and besides, there is not much food and grass in the army, and it's not good to raise so many people." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said.

"What then? Or I'm going to slaughter them all and throw them in the river to feed the fish!" Xu Da said bluntly.

Zhu Han hurriedly waved his hand and stopped Xu Da's suggestion.

"No, although the Tartars are hateful, the end of the war and the indiscriminate killing of prisoners are not conducive to recruiting rebels in the future." Zhu Han said.

"Then what should I do, give me a charter, I just have to do it!" Xu Da said loudly.

Zhu Han asked about the situation of these captives again, and immediately had an idea.

"Half of the captives are lust-eyed people, these people are white-eyed wolves who believe in cults, it's useless to keep a life, gather the people who have been harmed nearby, conduct a public trial, and win the hearts of the people!" Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, agreeing with Zhu Han's decision.

"Yes, these lustful dogs are even more hateful than the Mongols, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"What about the rest?" Xu Da asked.

"The rest of the captives are basically traitors and Mongols, and they are all taken back to Zhuzhou, where a lot of coolies are required to open mountains and quarry, give them a chance to make up for their mistakes!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

In addition to the state to prepare for the construction of a large number of buildings, the amount of quarrying work required can be described as huge, and naturally this manpower cannot be wasted.

"Well, okay, we think it's good, you can go and do it." Zhu Yuanzhang said with satisfaction.

"Yes, handsome!"

Xu Da immediately took the order and left.

As bursts of wailing and begging for mercy sounded in the Red Turban Army, those soldiers of the Semu Yuan Army, who had been arrogant in the past, were dragged to the high platform like slaughtering pigs and sheep.

The surrounding Han people helped the old and the young to come to watch.

These people were punished one by one, and in the bitter weeping of the people for revenge, the heads of the people were cut off.

"There are so many heads, nearly 10,000, what should I do?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the mountains of colored people and sighed.

Zhu Han smelled the smell of blood, and there was no discomfort in his heart, but he felt that the air seemed to have become a little sweet.

He smiled slightly, and said to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang: "These two dogs of the color eye, even if they die, they have to play some use, build their heads into a Jingguan, and stand next to the Wulong River, not only to commemorate this great victory, but also to comfort the ancestors of the Han people who died under the butcher's knife of the color eyes in the hundred years since Meng Yuan entered the Central Plains!" ”

Hearing his brother Zhu Han's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded very approvingly.

"Brother, your idea is so good, we think that we will not only build a Beijing official, but also set up a monument in the future to let future generations remember!" The more Zhu Yuanzhang talked, the more he felt that the suggestion he added was very meaningful.

"Haha, brother, your idea is not bad, I look at this inscription, let Mr. Shi Nai'an write it in the future, he writes well, this is a piece of cake!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed the horse whip in his hand and issued an order to his subordinates very excitedly.

"Someone!"

"Pass on our military order, and build the heads of these colored dogs to the Beijing Temple, and stand next to this Wulong River!"

The so-called Jingguan is a tall earth-sealed building that resembles a pyramid, except that the main material used is not clay, but the corpses or heads of captured enemies.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has often piled up Jingguan boasting of its achievements and martial arts after the victory of the battle.

Jingguan can be said to be an important symbol of Chinese military culture, but it is a mark that only a victor deserves.

Since the setback of the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has almost been defeated in successive battles by the faint monarch and civil officials, and what Zhujing Temple has not been seen for hundreds of years.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang won a big victory this time, and they used the heads of the people of color to build a Beijing view, which can be said to be the first time since the Two Song Dynasty!

The cold wind is howling!

The Red Turban Army summoned the surrounding people to dig the frozen soil again and build the Jingguan of the Semu People.

After three days of construction, a high-altitude 10-meter-high Fengtu Jingguan was built on the Wulong River.

The Red Turbans and the surrounding Han Chinese cheered, while the Mongol prisoners of war in the barracks were all faceless.

They watched the Lustful Man being stacked neatly and built into such a terrifying thing, and they were all terrified, not knowing what kind of torture they would face in the future.

The news of the Red Turban Army's victory at the Wulong River and the annihilation of more than 100,000 Yuan troops immediately spread throughout the Huainan and Jiangbei areas.

I got the news and almost couldn't believe my ears.

In the name of 'confusing the army' and 'falsely spreading military information', Tokhtar killed two waves of defeated soldiers who reported the news one after another.

However, the news inevitably spread, and the Yuan army outside Gaoyou City was in an uproar.

When Tokhtar was about to refute the rumors of the defeat, his younger brother Timur fled in embarrassment under the escort of several personal soldiers.

also started with Timur's tragic situation, so that Tokhtar's plan to 'refute rumors' immediately became a joke.

"Capital crime, capital crime!"

"You've committed a capital crime!"

When he saw that his younger brother, who was like a lost dog, he also preceded Timur, and immediately raised his horsewhip and whipped it fiercely.

Now that Emperor Dayuan has taken off his joy, Timur has already wanted to drive the imperial expedition and come to seize his military power, which is already full of dangers, but Timur was defeated and fled back, which is simply a package for the major crime of raiding his house and killing his head in advance.

"Brother, Gaoyou still has hundreds of thousands of troops, first kill Zhang Shicheng, and then kill Zhu Yuanzhang, just atone for your crimes!" First Timur pleaded bitterly.

He didn't know the news that Emperor Mengyuan was going to take the imperial expedition in person.

Tokhtar immediately became depressed, and he sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and told the story of the royal driver's personal expedition with a bitter face.

"Ahh

”

At first, Timur only felt that the world was spinning, and he desperately escaped from the red turban thieves, and now Emperor Mengyuan wants to target his brother, so he can't escape anyway.

"Brother, quickly break through Gaoyou, let's make a great contribution first, so that the emperor doesn't dare to touch us!" Timur said suddenly.

"No, Your Majesty has issued an edict in succession, so that our army can only besiege the city and not attack it." Tokh shook his head and sighed.

"Ah, this.

。 ”

Timur suddenly understood that the emperor Tuhuan Timur not only wanted to cut their brothers' military power, but also to prepare to swallow the heavenly merit of destroying the red turban thieves!
