Zhu Gui's performance attracted Zhu Wenwen's attention, and he immediately sent someone to pass the decree that the two of them would come to the barracks to inspect the competition in person later, and he would also act as a referee.

When the holy decree arrived at the barracks, Zhu Gui and Lan Yu were preparing for each other, and neither of them expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would come in person.

However, Zhu Gui didn't care, but Lan Yu was much more cautious, he felt that this was because Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want Zhu Gui to be embarrassed in front of him, so if he wanted to defeat Zhu Gui, he had to pay attention to strategy, not only to win, but also not to let Zhu Gui lose too embarrassingly.

Finally, an hour later, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the barracks with a group of guards and eunuchs.

Zhu Gui and Lan Yu personally greeted them outside the camp tent.

"I didn't expect the two of you to have a competition because of this little thing, but I came, then you have to be willing to gamble and lose, and whoever loses can't rely on the debt."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at the two and said, this is also a rare happy event since his birthday banquet.

The two of them nodded in agreement, and then returned to their prepared line.

The red robe and black armor on Lan Yu's side are all the same, and they look extremely powerful and domineering.

Zhu Gui's team was divided into two colors, twenty of them were dressed in white robes and white armor, they were the nineteen thousand households in the barracks, and one adjutant, and the remaining eighty were dressed in the same attire as Lan Yu's subordinates.

Seeing that the two of them were ready, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded to the eunuch behind him, who immediately pinched his throat and shouted, "Begin." ”

Due to the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang, the soldiers around the school ground did not dare to speak out, but they could still see that their spirits were very high, and they were obviously very concerned about this competition.

As soon as Lan Yu came up, he commanded all the cavalry to charge, trying to close the distance between the two armies, believing that with his ability to command the army, he could completely break up the opponent's ranks at the beginning.

And the distance between these two teams is not too far, and it can be completed in less than a breath.

But Zhu Gui turned a blind eye to this, and did not command his subordinates to make any defensive moves, which made the soldiers on both sides extremely surprised, and thought that the little prince was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Zhu Gui, this kid doesn't seem to know how to fight, what he said before was bragging, fortunately, he has self-knowledge, this time he should hand over the command of the border to Lan Yu, fortunately, he has promised to pay the army, and there is no delay." ”

Just when everyone present thought that Zhu Gui had lost, the two rows of white-robed soldiers in front of him suddenly knelt on the ground and took out firearms from behind them.

And without any action of loading, it shot directly towards the opposite direction.

After a bang, a cloud of smoke and dust was stirred, and then the sound of people flipping on their backs was heard on the opposite side.

There were more than a dozen cavalry who were knocked off their horses, and the cavalry that was rushing behind were also blocked, and Lan Yu's offensive was blocked for a while.

But this is not over, the two rows of white-robed soldiers, without reloading bullets, continued to shoot, and the cavalry on the side of Lan Yu fell more and more, and in less than a breath, more than half of the hundred cavalry had been "killed or wounded".

Fortunately, these soldiers used empty cartridges, and the horses and soldiers were only injured, and if they were really on the battlefield, they would have died and could not die again.

Therefore, the soldiers who fell from their horses did not continue to charge, but obediently retreated to the side, but they all looked dejected, obviously unable to accept such a result.

The soldiers watching the battle on both sides were even more surprised, they guessed the beginning of the competition, but did not guess the end, and the firearms that were useless in their eyes played such a powerful role in a battle of this scale.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned at this scene, and muttered secretly in his heart, "This is the firearm that Zhu Gui's kid studied?" This power is also too amazing, much more powerful than the firecrackers studied by those craftsmen in the imperial court, and if the army is equipped on a large scale, the Mongols will not have any threat. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly calculated in his heart, and he forgot his previous attitude towards Zhu Gui's research on firearms.

On the other side, there were only a few cavalry left around Lan Yu.

Zhu Gui waved his hand, signaling his subordinates not to continue to attack, this time he only used twenty people, and defeated Lan Yu's hundred cavalry, not only the victory was divided, but also the victory was very beautiful.

"General, do you want to continue the competition?"

Zhu Gui asked with a smile.

Lan Yu's face sank like water, he wanted to find a reason to save face, but he waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to sit on the side, so he could only dismount and say, "The prince's fire is really sharp, but this is only a battle of a hundred people, if the size of the army is tens of thousands, the role of firearms is very limited." ”

Even if she loses, Lan Yu refuses to admit the role of firearms.

"Okay, this one is indeed won by Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui actually used firearms, and there is a suspicion that the victory is not martial, so I decided that the remaining 10,000 cavalry of Lan Yu will be under the command of Zhu Gui, but Zhu Gui will also pay General Lan Yu 50,000 taels of silver, so be it."

Zhu Yuanzhang played a joint scene, which can be regarded as the conclusion of this competition.

Poof, Zhu Gui almost threw up, why did he have to pay 50,000 taels of silver if he won? What does it mean to win without force? But okay, he didn't miss this amount of money anyway, even if it was to give Lan Yu a little face, he didn't plan to save any face for Lan Yu.

So Zhu Gui asked someone to send a stack of silver tickets to Laiyu.

Lan Yu pinched the silver ticket, feeling insulted to him this time, but Zhu Yuanzhang was staring at him next to him, even if he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to resign and left angrily.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave immediately, but called Zhu Gui to the front, and at the same time let the soldiers with flintlock pistols come to him, and took the flintlock pistol in his hand to observe it carefully.

"Zhu Gui, this is the firearm you studied? It's kind of interesting, but this person told you before that this thing must not flow outside, do you know what I mean? If you commit a foul this time, you will be fined 1 million taels of silver. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Huh? Father, you still spare me, are you really a son who opens a bank? Even if you open a bank, you can't always scrape the ground like this. Zhu Gui said with a sad face.

"Don't come, don't cry poor here with me, I've already understood, what kind of Datong Chamber of Commerce did you get, now the business has been saved several times, do you want me to check the accounts for you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown.

"Haha, then don't use it, don't use it."

Zhu Gui hurriedly called haha, and said in his heart, this old man is worried about himself, and when this battle is over and he gets the design of the treasure ship, he has to find a way to sneak back to Yunzhou, otherwise he will have to be eaten and wiped clean by him sooner or later.
