Heard Zhu Di's words.

Zhang Yu frowned, and said: "Lord Wang, Mengren is good at riding, even if we and others are not afraid of night battles, but when they encounter at night, the horsepower is also tired, although our army has seven horses for one person, there are only two military horses that can fight, and at this moment the starry night is galloping, in case of encountering them with the cowardly Xue army......"

Although the Ming Dynasty is relatively wealthy now, war horses are still scarce.

War horses are not ordinary horses, on the battlefield, fierce war horses can even help generals bite the enemy, and Zhu Di, as a front-line general of the Ming Dynasty, has been fighting with the Mongols, Koreans, and Jurchens in Beiping for a long time.

Therefore, Zhang Yu has this hidden worry.

At this time, the Mongols of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were still very strong.

Their strength is reflected in the fact that the Mongols integrated fighting into their daily lives, and because the Mongols ate meat for a long time, they did not have night blindness and could see clearly at night.

And many Han children, because of their lack of meat, have night blindness, and they can't see clearly at night.

For a long time, the Han and Mongols suffered losses in field battles, and the Ming Dynasty also gradually trained several elite troops that could fight night battles in many years of war, and repeatedly fought in night battles with a small group of elite Ming troops and cavalry battles to fight the Yuan army and abandon their armor.

The culmination of this is led by Chang Yuchun and Xu Da.

Especially Chang Yuchun, he repeatedly led elite soldiers, and the Mongolian Asu army, the cowardly Xue army had a hard encounter, and the cavalry was cavalry.

This is because the Mongols changed many places in the Jianghuai generation into pastures to raise horses, Jianghuai Anhui and other places, originally the Song Dynasty was mostly fertile land, and the people did not have the opportunity to raise horses, but in the Yuan Dynasty, many places in Jianghuai were large playgrounds, like Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da was born as a farmer, and he was good at riding and archery for Mongolian nobles since he was a child, so the Han people were not afraid of cavalry duels, and even from the cavalry tactics, the Ming Dynasty was better at the moment.

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Zhu Di shook his head.

"We don't have to gallop in the starry night, just set up an ambush here, ready to meet the elite soldiers of Nai Er Buhua and others."

"Here!?"

Zhang Yu was shocked.

Zhu Neng also looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.

Zhu Di's eyes flashed and he nodded lightly.

"This place is the Pony Fort, which is the Great Wall built by the people of the Jin Kingdom in the past, and the only way to go out of the grassland to Mobei is the only place around that there is well water."

"If I guess correctly, Na'er doesn't spend time with Solin Timur, and must be stationed at the ancient post station in Zhangbei."

"They have tens of thousands of people, excluding the old and weak, women and children, there will be no more than 5,000 men who can fight on horseback, and we will wait for 3,000 elites, and break them 5,000 with 3,000 people, and they will be able to break it in an instant!"

Zhang Yu said again: "What if the follow-up reinforcements of the Northern Yuan Army arrive?" ”

Zhu Di laughed.

He waved his hand and signaled the surrounding soldiers to stop their horses and rest, the Zhangjiakou prairie from Zhangjiakou Fort, to Zhangbei's generation, there are not many springs around that can be drunk by people and horses, and the Northern Yuan army has all of them, and they have all of them.

In the steppe, if you master the water source, you will master the fighters.

"I have ordered Qiu Fu to lead a thousand elite cavalry, on the left side, not afraid that the Northern Yuan army will attack, but afraid that they will not come!"

I'm talking.

Whoosh.

A firework is sent into the sky in the distance.

Everyone looked at the fireworks.

Zhu Neng shouted: "It's me who doesn't collect the expedition at night, and the Northern Yuan cavalry is less than ten miles away!" ”

Zhu Di laughed.

"The whole army dismounted, ate dry rations, sorted out the armaments, and lined up with me to meet the battle."

……

Thorin Timur led his headquarters of 2,000 elite soldiers, one man and five horses, and galloped not far from the fort of Pony.

Suddenly, a firework was launched not far from them.

Thorin Timur was shocked.

"It's not good, it's the night of the Ming army!"

He immediately ordered hundreds of people to go and arrest the Ming army, and then looked at the Pony Fort not far ahead.

Tonight is also strange, the moon is in the sky, the night is like silver water pouring, and the grassland does not need to hold a torch to see the road clearly.

"Damn, isn't it that there are spies in our army who leaked the news!?"

Thorin Timur gritted his teeth.

He had already galloped under the stars, ready to rest for a while in this foal fort, and then go to Zhangjiakou fort.

Unexpectedly, his former army spies did not discover the whereabouts of the Ming army, but the Ming army discovered their whereabouts first without collecting at night.

"What a powerful Ming army doesn't collect at night, when did we Mongolians be discovered by sheep first at night!"

Thorin Timur was furious.

It is precisely because he has been sinicized for a long time that he knows very well what the Han people were like more than ten years ago, and the Han people at that time were all slaves of the Mongols, and there were many Han slaves under his command of Timur Sorin.

At that time, the Mongols were stronger than the Han in war horses, mounted archery, at least in night battles and field battles.

Now, in just over ten years, the Han people have been able to approach their Mongols within 500 zhang without knowing it, which was unimaginable before.

"Could it be the elite of the Ming army!?"

There are thousands of households around him who said.

Thorin Timur shook his head, he stared at the foal fort in front of him with some hesitation, this foal fort, as the name suggests, was the place where the Jin people raised horses in the Zhangjiakou grassland and used them to give birth to the foals.

This place is far away from Zhangjiakou Fort, thirty or forty miles around, there is water here.

If you ride another thirty or forty miles, the war horses will be tired, and they will be pursued by the Ming army in the foal fort.

Just surrender?

The dignity of his Mongolian golden family made him unacceptable.

Just as he hesitated, in front, the Ming army, which had occupied the fort of Pony first, actually took the initiative to line up, and the army was arrayed in front, and the war horses occupied the slightly raised hills on the side of the fortress, and surrounded them in turn with the best method of digging out the heart of the Mongols.

And looking at the number of the Ming army, there are more than a thousand people on his side.

"All elite soldiers!"

The two armies faced each other, only need to look at the arrangement of the opponent's army formation and war horses, you can know that the soldiers and horses are sharp, the opponent's three thousand cavalry, showing a semi-circle arrangement, there are not many people, but it is like the momentum of thousands of troops and horses, what is even more amazing is that the opposite war horse is not surprised at all, all stand silently, waiting for the cavalry to mount.

"Wanhu, we have encountered an ambush!"

There was a cowardly Xue Jun who was close to Thorin Timur by his side, and exclaimed.

He gritted his teeth and shook his head, as a Mongolian nobleman who has been dealing with the Han people for a long time, he is also a long-time battle-hardened person, at this moment, when he looks at this battle, he knows that he has encountered the powerful elite cavalry of the Ming army, I am afraid that in the entire north of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many cavalry troops with such murderous spirit.

Moreover, the opposite side chose a good time.

They had just galloped from the fortress on the north side of Zhangbei, and they were sleepy and tired.

Horses, in particular, need water.

Along the way, they were five horses that rotated to ride, and even though they could change horses, they were not horses that could fight at night.

War horses, war horses that can fight at night, whether they are in the Ming Dynasty or the Mongolian army, are scarce materials.

He pulled out the Mongolian scimitar beside him, as a retainer of the Golden Family Tribe, Thorin Timur had his own pride, and the blood of Genghis Khan's descendants made it impossible for him to surrender without a fight.

"Warriors of Dayuan, draw your swords!"

Beside him, more than 2,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty drew their long knives at their waists, and they gathered around Solin Timur.

Da Ming digs out his heart in a fan-shaped state.

These Northern Yuan cavalry were about to gather together, and in front of them were Solin Timur and dozens of guards, all dressed in armor, like an awl.

"Break through the cavalry formation of these men and cut off their heads!"

"Rush!"

The battle is the heaviest, especially at this moment, their war horses are resting for a while, and they still have physical strength, if they rest for a while, the war horses have no water, and their bodies are hot, and they can't run.

Knowing that he was invincible, Thorin Timur still moved forward and rushed towards Zhu Di and the others who formed a battle formation over there.

This side, the fortress is on a small hill.

Zhu Di sat on a war horse, looked at the distance and did not fear or escape, but bravely attacked Thorin Timur, and laughed loudly: "Okay, worthy of being a descendant of the Golden Family!" ”

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

"This Mongolian ten thousand households, warriors also, should be captured alive!"
