After Timur lost 10,000 cavalry, there was a rare lull on the battlefield.

Timur's cavalry was stagnant, and the vanguard of Lanyu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the two sides formed a strange tacit understanding.

At this time, Timur was at war with heaven and man, thinking about how to end this war decently.

Because the sudden appearance of the quick-reloading firebolt on the battlefield had completely disrupted his rhythm.

According to the previous loss rate of 10,000 people, his remaining 90,000 cavalry is not enough for the other party to fight for half an hour, right?

But if you don't fight, wouldn't it be a shame and a big loss?

In the interval of Timur's hesitation, Lan Yu sat on the high platform of the Chinese army, looked at the opposite side calmly, and privately kept gesturing to his subordinates, telling them to hurry up and quickly dry the water in the regular firecracker.

Because he was afraid that Timur would suddenly react, or suddenly go crazy and launch a full-scale attack, and then all his 50,000 people would be confessed here.

It was only after half an hour that Timur spoke quietly.

"Haohai Da Desire, what do you say to do now?"

"Your Majesty Su Dan, now you can't advance or retreat."

Timur looked approvingly.

"yes!"

"I knew that the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, so I wouldn't have gone out on the expedition myself."

Timur's biggest regret now is that he drove the expedition in person, and if he himself did not come, there would be room for redemption no matter how big the defeat at the front was.

At the very least, his reputation as His Majesty Su Dan will not be damaged.

However, now that he is on the battlefield in person, let alone defeated, he will not be able to win even if he is not honorable.

"Your Majesty Su Dan, even if we lose this battle, we must see the limit of the Ming Dynasty and seize a few of these new firearms for imitation, otherwise we will only suffer greater defeats on the battlefield in the future!"

"It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this time, the important thing is to see the true strength of the Ming Dynasty and accumulate experience for future wars!"

Timur's eyes lit up when he heard Haohai Dayu's words, and he not only cast an admiring gaze at him, but also felt a little grateful for the other party's thoughtfulness.

"Haohaida is right!"

"It doesn't matter whether you win or lose this time, what matters is to accumulate experience for future wars!"

"Order the vanguard cavalry to storm the enemy from both flanks!"

"If you order the Chinese army to attack head-on, you can't give the Ming army any respite!"

"In addition, the whole army was ordered, and those who captured the Ming sergeant alive were promoted to three levels, and those who captured the Ming new-style fire gun were rewarded with a thousand gold!"

With the issuance of Timur's military order, Timur's army fell into complete madness.

This time, the reward has tripled, who isn't crazy?

The vanguard army, who had just been frightened by the new Ming firearms, was also red-eyed at this time, and charged towards the sides of the Ming army with a roar.

Lan Yu saw the other party rushing over, even if he was experienced in a hundred battles, his face couldn't help but show a solemn look.

"The whole army is ready!"

"Victory and defeat are in this battle, life and death are in this battle!"

"Change formation!"

With the issuance of the Blue Jade military order, the 50,000 Western Expeditionary Army quickly changed formations under the command of officers at all levels.

The shield hand squatted down, stuck the shield firmly on the ground, connected all the shields with hooks, and used the shield's own pole to support and fix them, instantly forming a shield wall on the periphery of the military array.

After the shield wall was formed, the gunpowder gunners collectively stepped forward and placed the gunpowder on the shield wall to do an aiming action.

When the first wave of Timurid cavalry rushed into range, they calmly pulled the trigger and accurately hit the projectile on the galloping warhorse.

As for the people on the horses, they didn't even bother to look at it. How big is the target of the war horse, as long as the war horse is killed or disabled, the people on the war horse are still threatened?

After the soldier finished firing, he quickly withdrew from the front, and the soldier who had already loaded the gunpowder went up, and then the withdrawn soldier ran to the rear to reload.

A group of five soldiers, each guarding a shield.

Normally, five soldiers should take turns to shoot, but the guns on the Ming side all use fixed gunpowder, and the loading speed is much faster, and when the pressure on the front side is too great, two or three soldiers fire in a salvo from time to time.

But at this time, no one cares if the process is right or not, there are enemies all over the world, and it can be done without brains when the gunpowder is loaded.

If you look down from the sky, the Ming military formation is like a boat floating in the rapids, as if there is a risk of capsizing at any time.

However, this boat is unusually tenacious, and whenever it is about to capsize, it will struggle to turn around and stabilize itself again.

Lan Yu did not pretend to be forced on the high platform after the opponent's crazy attack, but hid in a circle of shields and carefully watched the battlefield situation, adjusting his own formation according to the rhythm of the opponent's attack.

In fact, there is nothing to adjust in the general formation, but when the opposite side storms in a certain direction, he secretly mobilizes some Chinese soldiers to assist in the defense.

When Lan Yu hid in the shield and peeped, Timur was much bolder.

After all, he is a few miles away from the Blue Jade Middle Army here, and even if the other party has a marksman, it is impossible to hit him.

However, watching his hand-picked warriors fall to the ground one after another, Timur's heart was still dripping blood.

But what made him even more depressed was that his side had already paid the price of more than 30,000 people, and Daming's side was still at ease, and there was no attenuation in firepower!

There was only one thing that made him feel gratified, that is, the range of Da Ming's firearms didn't seem to be as far as it was at the beginning, and now it was only about two hundred steps.

Just when Timur was still hesitating, Hao Haida was eager to speak.

"Your Majesty Su Dan, this kind of strength can't break through the Ming army formation at all, it's just a waste of soldiers' lives!"

"If you want to break through the Ming army formation, you have to bet the last 50,000 people!"

"Bet on?"

How could Timur not hesitate, the remaining 50,000 people were the Praetorian Guard, all of whom were composed of the people of the imperial capital and the children of the nobles.

If he loses too much, his throne may not be secured!

"Your Majesty Sudan!"

"You have to make a decision quickly, or we'll really become a tactic to add fuel to the fire!"

"Alas!"

Timur was slightly entangled and ruthlessly issued a new military order.

As soon as his military order came out, 50,000 Praetorian Guards poured out and charged towards the Ming army.

Lan Yu hid behind the shield and watched Timur's army not afraid of casualties, and rushed into his own army formation like crazy, his face full of incredulity.

If his army suffered such great losses, it is estimated that the overseers would not be able to kill them, how did Timur make his soldiers forget about their lives?

"Bad boys!"

"The real test is coming, all hands and feet are sharp, and it is really possible to be dumpled by the other party if you slow down!"

"General, the gunpowder is available, but the gunpowder is too hot for a long time......

Lan Yu scolded angrily when he heard this.

"There is a river behind us, and it will be over if we order the soldiers to go to the river and get some water!"

"General, we didn't bring anything to hold water!"

"Are you a pig!"

"Helmet, rice bowl can't hold water!"

"It's really not okay to take off your clothes and soak them, can't you also cool down the firecracker!"

"Oooh oh ......"

When Li Yan heard this, he hurriedly took the soldiers to the river to fill water to cool down the fire gun, and then bursts of white smoke rose from the blue jade army.

As Timur brought the last 50,000 cavalry on, the army on Lan Yu's side felt the pressure like never before.

The flanks were slightly better, and the frontal battlefield was almost a knockdown of one and a new cavalry was added.

Seeing that the cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, the soldiers in the Blue Jade Army were also a little panicked. Some of them made a mistake in the charge and forgot to load the lead. In some cases, the cooling time in the water is too long, so that the fire gun has been completely soaked.

Lan Yu also saw that the striker was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly transferred soldiers from elsewhere to take over.

But his speed was still a step too late, and as several of Timur's heavily armored cavalry rushed up against the rain of bullets, the center of the blue jade army was torn open in an instant.

Just when the Ming army at the gap thought that they were going to encounter a massacre, they were surprised to find that the other party did not pay attention to them at all, but kept picking up the weapons they dropped on the ground.

Some weapons became hot because the barrel was too long to shoot, and these people didn't care, picked them up and ran under their armpits.

Lan Yu was also stunned by the scene in front of him, the other party finally tore a hole, shouldn't he hurry up to expand the results of the battle, why was he busy picking up those rags on the ground?

The firecracker has a service life, and it is estimated that after this war, the firecrackers in the army will have to be replaced, otherwise they will explode in a major battle of this level.

Lan Yu didn't feel sorry for the firebolt, and seeing that the other party had no intention of expanding the results of the battle, he hurriedly mobilized soldiers to plug the gap.

Timur's soldiers did not dwell on it either, and after capturing a batch of muskets, they ran away.

Although some of the slower runners were replenished by the soldiers of the blue jade, many of them ran back with their firearms.

Timur, who was standing on a high place, saw this situation, and while secretly scolding the front-line commander for being a fool, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Although the commander was derelict in his duty and did not rush forward quickly by tearing the opening, he finally completed the strategic goal, tested the limit of the Ming army, and successfully captured a large number of firearms from the Ming army.

After Timur withdrew his troops, he found that many soldiers who had been "killed in battle" on the ground miraculously came back to life and ran back with the large army.

Lan Yu was also shocked by this scene, he just praised the other party for not being afraid of life and death, and dared to love many people who deliberately pretended to be dead on the way!

Is it any wonder that he thinks that the marksmanship of his soldiers today is too accurate, and it turns out that he has met a group of actors?

Timur's soldiers were not stupid, and when they saw that the first group of people who rushed forward were beaten into a sieve, they bowed down and lay on the ground at the same time as the horses fell.

As a result, an hour's battle seems to have knocked down a lot of people, but the actual number of people who have been shot is far from what it seems.

Timur was also angry with his soldiers, but he was only angry, did not blame their intentions, and even faintly rejoiced in their wit.

After all, as long as people live, they can form combat power again when they go back and rectify it!

On the one hand, he also discovered a weakness of the Ming army, that is, he could only fight the enemy who was standing, and if the soldiers lay down......

Timur's mind was spinning rapidly, and he felt that the next time he fought again, he should change his thinking, such as sneaking up at night, or digging a trench and hitting along the trench?

Lan Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Timur retreating, if the other party continued to fight hard, his side might really collapse.

However, with 50,000 infantry against 100,000 cavalry, not only did he not lose the wind but also won a big victory, it is estimated that Zhu Butcher can return his Liangguo Gong, right?

After a short rest between the two armies, Timur immediately led his army to retreat. Lan Yu did not send troops to chase after him, but ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot, intending to have a good rest.

Although there were not many casualties on his side in this battle, the firearms were seriously damaged, and the consumption of gunpowder was also very large, and he had to wait until the large army rushed over before he had the spare strength to take further action.

Timur didn't retreat far, stationed in a town dozens of miles away from Broken Leaf City, and then sent messengers to continue the war of words with Lan Yu.

It's nothing more than that I'm not wrong, you shouldn't beat me, and you should withdraw your troops whenever you talk about morality.

Lan Yu also clung to a little bit, and resolutely refused to withdraw his troops unless Timur sent back the little evil obstacle of the Chagatai prince and Mengyuan Mahamu.

Timur then put forward some other conditions, such as dividing the land and ruling the country, recognizing the legitimate rule of the Ming Dynasty over the Mengyuan and Chagatai regions, and so on, in order to quell the war.

Seeing that the other party put forward this condition, Lan Yu didn't dare to be good at it this time, so he quickly sent someone to send a telegram to ask Zhu Yunxi's opinion.

However, when the telegram was transmitted back to Nanjing through one transfer station after another, it seemed to sink into the sea and did not stir up the slightest wave.

There is no other reason, just because Zhu Yunxi is now all focused on Lao Zhu, and he has no heart to pay attention to the battlefield in the Western Regions.

Zhu Yunxi sat at the head of Lao Zhu's bed, watching Lao Zhu's face be disgraced, his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and his heart was almost suffocated.

Although he had known Lao Zhu's death for a long time, when this day really came, it was still unbearable for him.

This is his first relative in this world, and it is also the best and most trusting relative to him.

This old man gave all his love to himself, and to himself the empire he cherished most.

But he couldn't even keep him for one more day......

"Grandpa Huang hold on!"

"In three days you will break the shackles of fate, you can ...... Can ......"

Lao Zhu, who was lying on the bed, moved his eyelids when he heard this, he wanted to fight against God very much, but he didn't have the slightest strength in his body.

Zhang Sloppy was originally a master of Qihuang, and he sighed secretly when he saw Lao Zhu's state.

"Your Highness, manpower is sometimes poor, please mourn ......"

"No!"

Zhu Yunxi shouted hysterically.

"The lives of my second uncle and third uncle have changed, I don't believe that I can't change the life of the emperor's grandfather!"

The reason why Zhu Yunxi desperately tossed Zhu Fan was actually an attempt, that is, to drive him overseas, change his existing fate, and try to escape his nest of deaths.

Judging from Zhu Rong's current state, Zhu Yunxi succeeded, not only successfully allowing Zhu Fan to complete his new life, but also saving him from a doomed assassination.

"Zhang Zhenren, you can help me, as long as I let my imperial grandfather live for three days, three days......"

"It's only three days, and Poor Dao really has some way to ......"

"Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that there is a lack of miracle medicine, this thing has not been valued by the doctors of the past dynasties, but when Poor Dao traveled outside the border in the early years, he was fortunate to witness it, and when the old people of the Jurchen tribe were dying, the local people used a kind of herb that resembled a human shape to boil soup to prolong their lives."

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately relieved his heart.

"You're talking about ginseng, right?"

"Ginseng?"

"Poor Dao really doesn't know what this thing is called, he only knows that this thing is overbearing, and even a masculine thing, which should be beneficial to His Majesty's body."

Zhu Yunxi ordered a few carts of ginseng with him long before Zhu Wei became a vassal, and prepared this thing in the palace a few years ago.

"Someone!"

"Go to the Tai Hospital and get dozens of ginseng!"

Not long after, the Tai Hospital was running over with a sad face, handing over dozens of black things.

"Your Highness, this ginseng may not be of much use, Weichen does not dare to give it to His Majesty, and I ask Your Highness to make it clear......"

Zhu Yunxi almost couldn't breathe when he saw this scene.

"How did you do it, how did you keep this thing like this!"

"Your Highness, there is no record of the use of this thing by doctors before, and our Tai Hospital does not know how to mix and concoct this thing, so it is ......"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he wanted to kill.

"You're damned!"

"If the emperor's grandfather is really good, you can accompany him to serve underground!"

"Someone, send a telegram to King Liao quickly, ordering him to prepare a few truckloads of ginseng and send it to the dock immediately......"

Just as Zhu Yunxi was eagerly ordering, Xu Miaoqing, who was accompanying and serving together, said weakly.

"His Royal Highness, the concubine brought some ginseng when she entered Beijing, I don't know if I can present it to Your Majesty......"

"What?"

"You brought it?"

Zhu Yunxi grabbed Xu Miaoqing's hand and asked eagerly.

"Aunt Thirteen, where did you put the ginseng?"

"That's it...... It's in the carriage outside the palace......"

"I thought that my father was old and could take ginseng to replenish his body, so I ......"

Zhu Yunxi didn't have time to listen to her explanation, so he immediately threw him down and ran out quickly.

"Your Highness, where are you going!"

"I'll go to the thirteenth aunt's carriage to get ginseng!"
