Chapter 145: Cute little mushroom cloud.

The other craftsmen, who understood the power of this thing, turned their legs into afterimages one by one, and used their strength to run into the military formation.

The soldiers who came to help, although they had never seen the power of this thing, they had seen the artillery battles that were usually fired.

In the past, it hurt to bomb people with a little thumb-sized cannonball, but this thing is so big in front of you, you can imagine how powerful the explosion is.

So one by one, they also ran desperately into the military formation, for fear that they would be killed by their own things if they took a slow step.

This expedition did not die under the enemy's sword, but was blown up by his own people, and he was unwilling to die.

The Warat cavalry, who were rushing here not far away, couldn't help but laugh proudly when they saw that they were coming, and the Ming army fled in a hurry.

"Hahaha, weak Akito, he didn't dare to fight us, what a bunch of soft eggs!"

"Haha, that's right, our sons on the grassland are the real warriors."

"Hey, how did they drop that thing, what is that?"

"Whatever it is, it's already our trophy, pull it back and show it to the Great Khan."

Hundreds of Warat cavalry, laughing, ran to the side of the carriage.

One of them also knocked on it with a knife curiously, his face full of doubt.

The old craftsman who was observing from a distance in the military formation, saw this scene, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead.

He was really worried that because of the other party's move, his second son would lose his mind when he flew and fly to his own military formation.

It can't be helped, it's just too hard to control.

Before he flew out, the devil knew if he was exploding on the spot or if he had to go in the other direction.

As for the target to aim at.

The old craftsman felt that with the unreliable urine nature of this thing, the place where it was targeted should be the safest place.

And just when this group of horsemen, with ropes on the carriage, was about to pull this thing back.

The fuse that was ignited by the Celestial Arrow finally burned to the tail.

"Whew..."

In a flash.

A flame dragon more than ten meters long erupted from the tail of the Heavenly God Arrow.

The two Warat cavalrymen standing behind and the war horses under their crotches instantly became fire men.

At the same time, at the moment when the flame dragon erupted, the Celestial Arrow on the carriage trembled.

Then, under the watchful prayer of a group of craftsmen and soldiers, dragging a long tail flame, he picked up a Varat cavalry in front and flew frantically towards the Varat army.

"Ahhh

The rocket flew out, and the flames that erupted from behind its tail ignited seven or eight Varat cavalrymen who were stunned in place.

Instantly miserable, screaming.

And the Celestial Arrow that flew out, perhaps remembering its father's instructions, rushed towards Mahamu's military flag without changing its direction at all.

"Well done son!"

Looking at the arrows of the gods that were like iron ploughs in the field, frantically advancing in the formation of the Warat army, the old craftsman shouted with joy like a child.

The surrounding soldiers also stretched their necks one by one, and their eyes widened as they watched the Heavenly Arrows frantically moving forward in the Warat army array.

One of the officers, looking at the Heavenly Arrows that had been flying hundreds of horses one after another, couldn't help but swallow his spittle, and sighed: "This thing is really good, if there are hundreds of them together, there is no need to fight this battle, this thing alone can destroy the enemy." ”

The old craftsman who was cheering excitedly next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

"Boy, you are dreaming, to make this thing, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and hundreds of roots, you really don't take money seriously!"

Like a mad bull, the Celestial Arrows rampaged through the Varat cavalry formation.

The first time they saw this thing, the Warat cavalry were almost scared.

One by one, the crying father shouted the crazy dodge, and kept shouting that this was the punishment of immortality.

Mahamu, who was also shocked by this scene, sat on the horse and looked at the Celestial Arrow running towards him in a daze.

"Immortal Heaven, what the hell is this, is Mingren already so powerful?"

"Khan go away!"

The guards beside Mahamu saw the celestial arrows that were getting closer and closer, noticed that Mahamu was stunned in place, exclaimed, and ran to the side with the horse pulling Mahamu.

The other generals also didn't care about fighting, and fled like lost dogs one by one.

The divine arrow rushed all the way forward, and rushed into the banner position of Ma Hamu in a daze.

It's just that the kinetic energy is too strong, plus it can't be controlled.

The top of the Celestial Arrow, which had already hit a little flattened, flew dozens of meters against the banner of Mahamu, and then exploded.

"Boom, boom..."

An earth-shattering loud bang rang out, and then a mushroom cloud appeared in the Varat cavalry formation.

The ferocious explosion directly took away hundreds of Warat cavalry.

Even Mahamu, who was dragged by the guards to flee to other places, was injured by the shock wave and fell off his horse with blood spurting from his mouth.

Such a violent explosion attracted everyone's attention.

The two sides who were fighting stopped fighting one after another and looked at the location where the explosion had risen.

"Mahamu is dead, Mahamu is dead!"

Zhang Fu, who commanded the operation of the Fifth Military Battalion, raised his arms and shouted when he saw this scene.

The surrounding officer guards also shouted loudly.

Soon, the news of Mahamu's death spread throughout the battlefield.

Seeing that the banner was gone, and there was no order from the commanding side, the Warat cavalry panicked one by one, and they didn't care about fighting the Ming army, so they turned around and ran.

"Woooooo

The horn of the whole army to attack sounded, and the Ming army launched a pursuit with shouts.

Mahamu, who was rescued by the guards, saw that the general trend had gone, and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.

In this way, the first battle between the Ming army and the Warat army ended with the defeat of the Warat side.

The Ming army pursued for more than 20 miles before withdrawing and returning to the camp under Zhu Di's order.

"Hahaha, good ......"

In the evening, the army encamped.

Laughter and laughter were heard everywhere in the camp of the Ming army.

In the big tent in the center, Zhu Di's hearty laughter sounded.

The generals were also smiling, telling each other about the joy of today's battle.

In today's battle, the Ming army won a complete victory.

According to statistics.

More than 10,000 people were beheaded in this battle, including Todar, the second most important figure in Warat.

Countless horses and weapons were captured, and thousands of Warat cavalry were captured.

Since the three northern expeditions of Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, this result can be said to be the greatest.

The first time Qiu Fu was defeated, then there is no need to mention.

The second time Zhu Di moved to the Northern Expedition, although he also returned with a big victory, it was actually more like shopping on the street.

In the entire northern expedition, the number of enemies killed was not more than a thousand.

The publicity of the big victory to the outside world is actually to make the court look better.

After all, it is really a bit unreasonable to consume so many troops, spend so many troops, and kill only a thousand enemies.

And today's battle completely made Zhu Di happy.

Today's battle can be said to be the biggest victory Zhu Di has achieved after the Jingjing.

Even since Zhu Di's war against the north, he has not achieved such a victory.

Today's results, coupled with the number of enemies killed by Zhu Zhangui, can be said to be broken by the warat.

Thinking of Mahamu's painful expression when he went back and saw the casualty figures, Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Smiling and smiling, he looked at the biggest hero of the day.

"JAC!"

Zhu Di shouted.

Jiang Huai, who was communicating quietly with several generals of the Shenji Battalion below, strode out.

"The last general!"

The people in the tent also stopped talking and looked at Jiang Huai who came out.

Everyone understands that this kid is going to take off.

After going back, it is still small to be promoted and make a fortune, and it is even possible to get a knighthood and become one of the members of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di looked at Jiang Huai who stood up, and said with a serious expression:

"Jianghuai, in today's battle, you commanded the Shenji Battalion well, and you have contributed to killing and injuring a large number of enemies, and you should be the first to take credit in this battle!"

Jiang Huai hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

"This battle is the wise command of His Majesty and the lives of his soldiers, the last general just did his duty as a courtier, the name of the first merit, and the minister is ashamed to take it!"

"Hahaha..."

Jianghuai's sycophancy made Zhu Di even happier.

This kind of general who is not greedy for merit is liked by any monarch.

Zhu Di got up and stepped forward to pull Jiang Huai up.

"What I said was yours is yours, and I have written down your merits first, and when the class teacher returns to the court, I will be rewarded."

After praising Jianghuai, Zhu Di praised the other generals again, and then said to the generals: "Although we beat Warat in this battle, it is not enough. ”

"Mahamu still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and now they have retreated to the mouth of the Three Gorges, and we still have a fierce battle to fight next."

"Therefore, the ministries must not relax, and when we defeat Mahamu in the future, there will be time to celebrate."

"Yes!"

The generals shouted loudly and began to discuss the next battle plan.

Just when Zhu Di was discussing how to attack the mouth of the Three Gorges, Zhu Zhangui, who had traveled thousands of miles, finally arrived at the periphery of Kent Khan Mountain.

At the foot of a high slope, more than 8,000 soldiers are drinking, eating, feeding horses, or resting with their eyes closed.

After more than half a month of traveling, every soldier's face was full of exhaustion.

In the past half a month, they have traveled thousands of miles, eating and sleeping all the way, and finally arrived at the predetermined place when their spirits were about to reach their limit.

Tonight was a rare long rest.

Everyone understands that after a break today, they are about to have a tough battle.

Above the hillside.

Zhu Zhangui was holding a telescope and was observing the surroundings.

Although it was dark as far as the eye could see, Zhu Zhangui still did not give up, trying to find the light in his imagination.

They have reached the Kent Han Hills, but where are the Mahamu tribes located? They don't know.

If you can't find the enemy's location as soon as possible and carry out a quick surprise attack, then this thousand-mile attack is completely useless.

Even along the way, they had to be careful to hide themselves from being spotted by enemy rangers.

If the enemy detects it in advance, it will not achieve the effect of the surprise attack.

All the people of Warat are soldiers.

If it is discovered by the enemy in advance, it will be no problem to gather tens of thousands of people with the troops left behind by the Warat side, plus the emergency summoning.

Once they were entangled by these tens of thousands of people, they could not quickly control the Mahamu herdsmen's camp, and when the reinforcements from Mahamu's side arrived, Zhu Zhangui had no second choice but to retreat.

Of course, there is a possibility.

That is, it was besieged by the enemy's front and rear, and the whole army was annihilated.

"Your Highness, eat something!"

Yu Qian walked up to Zhu Zhangui and handed a piece of jerky to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui's attack this time also brought Yu Qian with him.

This is a rare opportunity to hone one, and it is also an opportunity to increase military merit.

After this training, Yu Qian will grow a lot.

also with the military exploits of this attack, when he goes back to arrange a position for Yu Qian, no one will say anything.

After all, this is an opportunity for people to earn it back, if you are envious, you can also come back if you have the ability.

In the past half a month of tossing, Yu Qian, a little scholar, was almost not exhausted.

I even had a second high fever a few days ago.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhangui using cephalosporin to rescue this guy, the future Yu Shaobao might have died of illness in the wasteland.

"Hasn't the Sentinel come back yet?"

Putting down the binoculars and receiving the jerky handed over by Tai Qian, Zhu Zhangui tore off a piece and chewed it vigorously.

Yu Qian, who picked up the telescope to observe, shook his head.

"According to the agreed time, they should have returned, but now they haven't come back, maybe they have encountered some special circumstances."

Zhu Zhangui nodded silently.

The special situation in Yu Qian's mouth is talking about the grassland swamp.

Some of the sentinels sent out in the past half a month have not returned.

Later, after a search, traces of them were found in a depression.

"The army must have encountered the Warats."

Biting on the hard jerky, Zhu Zhangui lay on the grass, looking at the stars in the sky, not knowing whether to ask Yu Qian or himself.

"Count the time, they should be here by now, maybe the fight has already started."

Yu Qian replied, then stopped making a noise and continued to observe the surrounding situation.

Zhu Zhangui didn't speak again, swallowed the jerky in his mouth, closed his eyes and rested.

"Da Da Da..."

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Zhu Zhangui, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes reluctantly, pulled out his knife, and shouted: "There is a situation, everyone is on alert!" ”

Bang la blah.

The soldiers who were resting below instantly jumped up from the ground, drew their swords and raised their guns, ready for battle.

"Sun and Moon!"

In the direction from which the horse's hooves came, a weak cry suddenly sounded.

The vigilant crowd breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

This is the mantra of your own people.

Several soldiers rushed over and ran over with a soldier covered in blood.

"What's the situation!"

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly stepped forward to ask the soldiers who came back.

The soldier who was supported looked at Zhu Zhangui's weak reply.

"We found their camp, but on the way back we encountered a rare pack of more than a hundred wolves, and we did not ride horses to avoid being discovered by the enemy. After being surrounded by wolves, it was the captain who rushed out with their lives to protect me and asked me to pass the news to His Highness. ”

As he spoke, the soldier pointed in one direction.

"80 miles over there!"

Zhu Zhangui patted the soldier's shoulder comfortingly and looked in the direction he was pointing.

They finally found the Warat herdsmen's camp.
