Ural River.

The Ming army lined up against the river.

Of course, it was impossible for Zhu Gaoxu not to even know about Timur's raid on him.

He carried even more hot air balloons than his father.

So in order to let Beergosary know the news of the arrival of reinforcements, he actually released a total of six hot air balloons, all of which were released when the wind was blowing there, and one of the six hot air balloons could always arrive, as for how the soldiers above returned to Salechuk, it was up to them to do their own thing......

He hadn't even thought about these people returning.

There are also a large number of tethered balloons on the periphery of Salechuk, which are carried by camels and constantly patrolled every day.

Although Timur also knew about the hot air balloons of the Ming army, so his subordinates marched at night, but it was difficult for the 50,000 cavalry to hide even at night.

They were spotted by the sentinels on the hot air balloon in the moonlight.

The latter immediately launched a warning rocket, and the rocket exploded at an altitude of several hundred meters in the night sky, so that Zhu Gaoxu, who was thirty miles away, knew the news of the enemy's attack, and quickly began to assemble the various armies, and when Timur, who could only continue to advance at a normal speed in order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse, led 50,000 cavalry to arrive, it was already an hour later, and the sixteen camel cities scattered in the camps on the Caspian coast had completed their assembly and waited in formation on the open and flat grassland......

"Timur, you are also a character, isn't it shameful to be so sneaky? My father married your granddaughter, and you are also an elder, and you are still a thief with your elders sneaking up on your juniors, and you are still like a thief, are you relying on this stolen territory? ”

In front of the sixteen camel cities, Zhu Gaoxu, who was carrying a mace, showed off his might.

Behind him, the sixteen camel cities were divided into four brigades and lined up like a chessboard, simply put, four in groups, and then four groups formed a giant quadrangle......

The main thing is that the back of the Ural is not deep.

This famous river on the border between Asia and Europe, because the downstream is desert steppe, the amount of water is actually getting less and less.

After arriving at the mouth of the sea, there are basically dozens of meters wide left, and Timur's cavalry can completely bypass it, and then cross the river from behind to attack, while the Ming army's camel city tactics were originally quagmire, that is, each camel city is an independent combat unit, and then the rest is left to combine at will according to the situation, but keep the firepower apart.

But there is only one principle, to put the enemy in the trap of fire.

If the enemy is not fooled, they can only attack the front, but reinforcements from other camel cities will continue to fill the front.

So now the spectacular scene of the sixteen camel cities behind Zhu Gaoxu is actually a headache for Timur standing on a giant elephant.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately laughed behind him.

"Timur, since your granddaughter is my father's concubine, then we Han people all talk about etiquette, and I will let you attack first!"

Zhu Gaoxu shouted.

Then he turned his horse's head and retreated into formation with his guards.

Timur only silently waved his hand forward, followed by a war elephant beside him......

This is the method he developed to break through the camel city, directly on the armored war elephants, these elephants are protected by iron armor, like a steel beast, very momentum and slow forward, and behind the war elephants is Timur's elite cavalry, once the armored war elephants set foot on the camel city of the Ming army, then then scattered with cavalry. This scene was so spectacular that Zhu Gaoxu, who had just arrived in the middle passage of the formation, turned his head and looked at these giant beasts in astonishment, and then those giant elephants opened fire with rapid-fire cannons on their backs......

Well, this is still an artillery war elephant.

The Ming troops on the front of the battle line also looked at these behemoths in astonishment.

However, at the same time, Zhang Fu, who was actually in the center of the command, waved the signal flag, and then the smoke of the mortar artillery in the camel city rose one after another.

One by one, flowering bullets with small tails flew directly towards the war elephants, and the next moment they exploded around them.

In the restlessness of the war elephants, the field guns opened fire immediately, and the two-pound shells whistled through the air, and instantly hit a war elephant with the kinetic energy far exceeding the rapid-fire cannon, even if the latter had enough armor to resist the shotguns. The war elephants hit by the shells immediately let out a terrible wail, and then began to fall down in pain, while the mortar shells still exploded in the middle, and more war elephants fell into a panicked confusion, and even began to try to turn around.

However, Timur's long training was still useful.

Those elephant slaves hurriedly did their best to stabilize these war elephants and let them continue to advance towards the Ming army formation.

The field artillery continued to fire, the war elephants kept falling, and the cavalry of Timur's subordinates behind clearly saw the hope of victory.

They formed a formation behind and followed forward.

And then......

Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand to the side.

One of the guards immediately handed over a glass bottle, but the mouth of the glass bottle was stuffed with strips of cloth that ignited the fire.

At the same time, his guards all took out the same glass bottles.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Gaoxu shouted.

At the same time he lit the strip of cloth.

Then his guards all lit the strips of cloth.

The five hundred guards led by King Gaoyang himself were like huge awls, stabbing straight at the war elephants that were already somewhat uncontrollable......

This thing is not difficult to solve.

Artillery armored war elephants have always had a serious problem.

Elephants are far more sensitive than horses and even camels, after all, the higher the IQ, the more aware of where danger is, and when explosions, fires and even death continue to occur around them, they will become more and more aware that what they need is to escape. And at this moment, Zhu Gaoxu's personal guards gave a decisive blow, relying on a heavy armor to ignore the opposite attack, and even ignoring the shotgun Zhu Gaoxu, who rushed to the side of a war elephant, slammed the glass bottle in his hand into the war elephant in the turn and cross-cutting. The glass bottle, with strips of burning cloth and filled with gasoline, smashed directly into the armor of the war elephant, and then immediately shattered and turned into flames......

The war elephant screamed and stood up directly.

Then the soldiers in the niche on its back were thrown out.

Immediately after that, the guards relied on the whole body armor on their bodies, and rushed directly towards the war elephants with arrows and even shotguns on the opposite side, smashing the Molotov cocktails in their hands into their armor.

And then there was the flames that kept exploding.

The smashed war elephants wailed, struggled, and even turned around and ran furiously in the flames, and they also gave the other war elephants a call to flee in their language, and then all the war elephants fled, and hundreds of armored war elephants turned around like crazy and crashed into the cavalry behind. The unlucky cavalry dodged in horror, disturbed by these violent beasts, while at the same time, Zhu Gaoxu quickly reassembled with his personal guards, and then raised his spear on horseback.

"Kill!"

The tyrannical King of Gaoyang roared excitedly with a mace.

Then he rushed forward with his guards, taking advantage of the chaos caused by the war elephants, and stabbed the elite of the river that had been scattered.

The mace in his hand swept away, and a river cavalryman was smashed into the air in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a spear swept by, knocking out these cavalrymen who were almost powerless to resist.

Forming a cavalry against a cavalry without a formation is crushing, not to mention the essence of equipped cavalry against ordinary cavalry.

Zhu Gaoxu and his personal guards, just like Li Shimin on the battlefield with the Xuanjia army, quickly chiseled through the chaotic cavalry in the river, and repeatedly chiseled through, and the cavalry in the formation behind him also rushed out, taking advantage of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle, when Timur finally controlled the chaos caused by the collision of the war elephants and put the follow-up cavalry into the army, the battlefield has left thousands of dead bodies of cavalry in the river.

"Timur, is this what you really do? With this ability, do you still dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty? You can't even defeat a single division of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Feng is looking at you and laughing! ”

Zhu Gaoxu shouted proudly.

Then he carried the head of a river general on his mace, and quickly withdrew to the formation with the cavalry.

Later, Timur's elites were full of anger and began to attack the Ming formation, but they obviously knew that they could not stupidly enter the trap of firepower, and they also carried some artillery and three-eyed arquebuses and the like, after all, Timur sold tens of thousands of camels and war horses to the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for at least the firearms of his main force.

The cavalry in the river, who had hit a certain distance, were like the Ming army, and used the artillery carried by camels to bombard the Ming army.

But it didn't work out well.

The camel city of the Ming army is not simply to let the camel lie down, this thing is the same flesh and blood, even if the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, it can't hold up the continuous attack after all, so the camel is just a carrier of firepower, it is protected, not only is it covered with thick cotton armor but also there is a leather iron wood insert similar to my Daqing shield car on the outside. Shotguns like rapid-fire cannons are basically harmless to it, in fact, in a battle like this kind of preset battlefield, there are sandbags outside, and the sacks are for the Ming army, and there are countless sandbags here, and stacking sandbags is simply too simple.

There is even a simple trench in front of the preset formation, that is, there are no trees here, so it is not easy to resist the horse.

But there are still tribulus terrestris.

With a firearm like this, no one can beat the Ming army.

Timur is nothing more than buying some firearms, and then copying some shoddy ones, especially the rapid-fire cannon and the Ming army are not at the same level at all, and the formula of gunpowder is not known, it can only be old, and the power is not as good as those ten taels of silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty and six cartridges were given away.

Of course, Timur was not in a hurry, this battle could not be completed in a short time, and he did not expect to form a devastating encirclement and annihilation of the 20,000 Ming army.

It was almost impossible for the Ming army, which had ample ammunition, to be breached.

But he has an absolute numerical superiority.

Consume the ammunition of the Bright Army, and they will still be broken after all.

However......

In the distance, in the sparse bushes by the river, a guy in a leather robe who looked like an ordinary herdsman nearby was watching the battlefield with a telescope that looked like a sense of travel.

"Great Khan, how far is it from Beergosale?"

One of my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, the current commander of the Zhaosheng Army, Fan Cha, looked at Kun Timur who was holding a telescope.

The latter, as the commander of Yan Randu, personally led the Zhaosheng Army to the west to show his loyalty to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

But mainly to get a handful.

He is a marquis, commanding Yan Ran to command the envoys, but he is young after all, and he is relatively loose in spending money, so the ones that Yang Feng grabbed during the last expedition to the west were all taken to enjoy, not only in Yan Ran Dusi to build temples in various places, invite high monks on the plateau, but also because he is young, he also likes women, and women alone are now collecting more than a hundred, not to mention that a new dress for each person is a huge amount of money.

Because he followed Yang Fengjiu, he also pursued those more fashionable things, such as his marquis in Hala and Lin's Marquis Cidili glass mirrors.

So it's a little tight on hand right now.

Knowing that the Zhaosheng Army was marching westward, he wrote to him that he was willing to lead his subordinates to join the Zhaosheng Army in the westward expedition, and of course he had to support this kind of thing, so the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty not only gave him the title of Duke Jinjue, but also rewarded him a lot, and then he was the chief soldier of the Zhaosheng Army personally appointed by the Empress Dowager, with 5,000 nomadic cavalry of Yanran Dusi, and 20,000 cavalry from Huining, and embarked on the journey of the Western Expedition together. But before they arrived in Beiping Prefecture, they already knew that the king of Yan was trapped in Bei'er Gesalai, and that all the armies, including Gui Lichi and others, had gone west to rescue, and Kun Timur immediately ordered to go west.

But he lacked camels and could not take the southern route, which was too far away, and in the middle of the way he pulled a group of Yueyue others together, and finally they chose to go directly west from the Irtysh, through the Siberian steppes, until they reached the Urals, and then went south along the Urals.

Just in time.

"Horseback riding for at least ten days."

Then the moon was said by the chieftain.

"Then the current situation is that Timur is attacking the Ming army, but the Kipchaks did not appear, they must surround the king of Yan in Beergosala, we have two choices now, participate in the war to help the heavenly soldiers defeat Timur, but it is impossible to besiege and annihilate, Timur will still retreat and make peace with the Kipchaks, and then the big deal is that they withdraw and let us take the king of Yan back, but we can't get any benefits. Another option is to bypass here and go directly to Beergosalai to insert the back of the Kipchaks, and the north side of the Kipchak is also going south, as long as we defeat the Kipchaks, we can work with the king of Yan and the ghost to trap Timur here until he is killed.

Then let's go and grab the river. ”

With the calm that a big business was about to arrive, Vancha was there to analyze the rudimentary map.

He was the brother of the murdered brother Timur, but after the death of the brother Timur, he surrendered to Aha Chu, or Li Jinzhong, and has been a subordinate to Li Jinzhong all these years.

But there is no future.

After all, his identity determines the future of a small boss.

However, this Zhaosheng Army's westward expedition made him see hope, and he immediately signed up to participate, and Li Jinzhong was somewhat wary of people like him, and now he was just sent out.

In the end, he took hundreds of remnants from the Li of the Qing Dynasty, all of whom joined the Zhaosheng Army, if the records of later generations are correct, these hundreds of remnants should be the only ones left in my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, but they can only say that they are suspicious, after all, the ancestors of my Qing Dynasty are a bit mysterious, but the Mengge Timur line in the Li of the Hu Duo is the most likely.

Now, of course, they are working on their dreams on the banks of the distant Urals.

They are all very hard-working young people.

Similarly, Kun Timur, who was actually only in his twenties, looked at the battlefield......

"Let's go, go to Beergosale!"

He said.

Immediately afterwards, these unscrupulous fellows abandoned Zhu Gaoxu and quietly went north with their 25,000 cavalry to attack Belgosale.
