Chapter Seventy-One: The Yunzhou Army

Although the Ming army only had 3,000 people, it also had half of the cavalry, so Xu Yingxu's side moved very quickly.

When Zhu Gui's side took the lead, he had already led people to charge from behind.

The people of the Chaha tribe didn't expect that there would be a Ming army here, and they were exhausted from the long-distance attack.

And the firepower of the Ming army also frightened them.

Under the advantages of the other, the thousand Mongolian cavalry was crushed at the touch of a button, and before the time of a stick of incense, the Ming armies on both sides had completed a tactical intersperse.

All that remained was to divide and surround the Mongols.

On the other side, two other Mongol chieftains were still admonishing Heimuhan.

"Chief Blackwood, do you want to die without saving you? We're all Mongols. ”

"That's right, once this news gets out, we will become traitors to the Mongols, and we will be hunted down by other tribes in the future."

But Hei Muhan looked ahead with a serious face, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, when the battle was already decided, he sighed and said, "We just made a deal with the Ming people, if we fight back at this time, will our tribes survive the whole winter with this transaction?" ”

Seeing that the two were still talking, he continued: "Wake up, the Mongol Empire has fallen apart, and we should now plan for the future of our tribe. ”

"You want to take refuge in Akito?" One of the Mongolian chiefs said angrily.

At this time, a Mongolian cavalryman beside Hei Muhan suddenly pulled out his body and snatched it, and the muzzle of the gun was the Mongolian chief who was 'outrageous' just now.

Seeing this, another Mongol chief tried to flee, but was quickly blocked.

"Have you been in collusion with Akito for a long time? It's no wonder that your Blackwood tribe has risen from a small tribe to the largest tribe on the grasslands. ”

Another chief shouted.

"I'm doing this for the future of the Mongols, and the king is not a tyrant."

Hei Muhan said with some loss and expectation.

"Traitor, you won't be blessed by the god of the steppe."

At this time, the battle on the other side was nearing its end.

Of the 1,000 Mongol cavalry of the Chakha tribe, only a dozen escaped, a third of the rest died, and the rest were captured.

Zhu Gui looked at the herds of war horses, and said with some emotion: "It's better to make a lot of money by fighting." ”

Xu Yingxu was about to come over to report the situation, and when he heard his words, he immediately said: "But such an opportunity is hard to come by." ”

After listening to Xu Yingxu's report on the casualties, Zhu Gui rode to Hei Muhan's side, and he had already listened to his own soldiers report the situation here.

"How's it going?" Zhu Gui asked Hei Muhan.

"Back to the prince, the situation has been controlled by me, but I beg the prince not to hurt these two chiefs."

Hei Muhan said in a deep voice.

"Okay, but the two tribes are going to move to Blackwood City, and these two people will also be imprisoned by you for a while, and they will naturally understand your good intentions in the future."

Zhu Gui said lightly.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." After Hei Muhan thanked him, he immediately returned to the grassland with the people and the convoy.

And Zhu Gui's side also returned to Datong Mansion after cleaning up the battlefield.

This time, they were supposed to trade a thousand war horses, but they didn't expect to win more than 600 horses in this battle.

Zhu Gui was not stingy, and directly distributed eighty percent of it to the guard with a wave of his hand, and the rest was kept in the newly established horse farm in case of emergency.

Since this battle took place dozens of miles away from Datong Mansion, it did not alarm anyone at all.

It's just that Zhu Gui already knew that a war between the Mongols and the Ming army had broken out in the northwest of Ningxia.

I just don't know how the battle went.

His historical memory did not contain anything about the battle, and he had no choice but to send people there to find out what was going on.

And he was also ready to send troops to support him at any time.

It's just that he didn't tell Zhu Di about the situation.

First, Zhu Di should have his own intelligence channels, and I believe that he will learn about this situation soon, if Zhu Gui tells him in advance, I am afraid it will only arouse the suspicion of the other party.

Second, Zhu Gui didn't want Zhu Di to send troops to help, this was a rare opportunity for military training.

And once the meritorious service is established, Zhu Gui is likely to unblock the right to form the prince's guard in advance.

So, after Zhu Gui got up the next day, he took Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to continue to visit Datong Mansion.

Two days later, on September 21, Zhu Di finally decided to return to the fiefdom.

He was accompanied by Sun Shangqing, the imperial historian of disaster relief.

Zhu Gui had been sent out of Datong Mansion for more than ten miles before returning.

After another day, he finally got a battle report from the direction of Ningxia.

It turned out that Zhu Ao, the king of Su, had been at war with the Mongols for more than half a month, but because of the traffic blockage, the news did not come out in time.

The two nearby feudal kings have already sent their armies, but the battle is becoming increasingly fierce, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish the winner in a short time.

After reading the information, Zhu Gui immediately judged that this was also because of the previous natural disasters caused by the Mongols' raiding operations.

It seems that he will soon receive a decree to send troops.

Sure enough, a week later, the decree arrived.

The imperial court ordered the king to send reinforcements to support the king of Su's war against the Mongols, and required a minimum of 1,000 garrisons.

And I don't know if it was to encourage or encourage Zhu Gui, Zhu Yuanzhang unlocked the right of some of his princes to protect him, and he could form a force of 1,000 people.

And these 1,000 people are not counted in the scope of the private soldiers of the palace.

When Zhu Gui received the holy decree, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

I didn't expect this battle to give him so many benefits.

He immediately selected the strong men from the salt dealers who were originally going to join the Chamber of Commerce, as well as some militiamen, into his new army.

And gave them the name 'Yunzhou Army'.

At the same time, Zhu Gui stuffed all the original 100 government soldiers into the 'Yunzhou Army' except for his own soldiers, and then selected another full government soldiers.

In this way, almost within a day, Zhu Gui's personal guard army had been established, which startled the old eunuch who had not yet left.

Xu Yingxu was not surprised by this: "Lord, the emperor has given us a week to prepare, when do you think we should leave?" ”

Zhu Gui said: "Naturally, the sooner you set off, the better, but the emperor asked us to send a thousand people, which is far from enough, so let's do it, in addition to the 1,000 Yunzhou army, the guard will send another 2,000 people to form a cavalry force of 3,000 people." ”

When Xu Yingxu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

Xu Yingxu left, but Zhu Gui showed a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Because he was thinking about how he could follow this army to the territory of King Su to fight the Mongols?
