Historically, in 1388, it was Lan Yu who led the army to defeat the army of the Northern Yuan, causing the Emperor Tianyuan, the queen of the Yuan, to be captured by Ye Sudieer on the way to escape, and then abolished.

I don't know if it's because of Zhu Gui, this history has undergone unprecedented changes.

Not only did Lan Yu not lead this war with the Mongols, but even the location of the battle changed.

Zhu Gui has been thinking, will the queen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty appear in this battle? Will the Northern Yuan end in his hands?

Originally, in history, after the abolition of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it was Mongolia that was established, which also made the Mongolian tribes more divided, which was also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Guike didn't think so, he didn't just target Lan Yu this time, but wanted to take the opportunity to further consolidate his power in the Mongolian steppe.

And this time his target was the Dzungar tribe who were raiding the border passes.

With the waves set off by the Dzungar tribes in history, they are indeed a potential stock, as long as they can 'cooperate' with them, Zhu Gui can completely cross the barrier of Central Asia and reach Europe.

At this time, Europe has not yet carried out the industrial revolution, and it is not up to Zhu Gui to take care of it?

Zhu Gui was thinking about it, when a personal guard suddenly ran in from outside the tent.

"Lord Wang, the Mongols have already set up camp ten miles away, their number has reached ten thousand, and more Mongols are gathering in this direction."

The guard bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

The reason why the Mongols did not attack first was because they did not have an advantage in numbers at this time.

Judging from the combat experience of the Ming and Northern Yuan in recent years, although the border passes are often attacked and disturbed, the Ming Dynasty often occupies the strategic initiative.

This also allowed the always arrogant Mongols to bully the unarmed civilians, but once they encountered the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, they often had to attack with several times the superior force.

But will Zhu Gui give them a chance to gather troops?

According to the general battle plan, the enemy's meta is continuous, and at this time it is necessary to retreat to the city and then make plans.

But Zhu Gui didn't want to do this.

He directly ordered ten thousand households to lead the attack, and did not give the Mongols a chance to repair.

The Mongols on the opposite side had not yet set up their camp when they heard the sound of horses' hoofs.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was almost a pursuer, and the scouts of the Mongols rushed all the way into the Mongol camp.

Although the overall strength was about the same, and even the Mongols had a slight advantage, the Ming army relied on the advantage of waiting for work, and the Mongols did not have any preparations, so they almost broke through.

The Ming army directly broke away the formation of the Mongol cavalry like a hot knife cutting butter.

In less than half an hour, the encounter turned into a pursuit.

When the Mongolian reinforcements who were rushing here saw this scene, their eyes were about to fall.

But before they could react, they were first dispersed by their own rout, and then encountered an attack by the Ming army.

This unexpected battle lasted from afternoon to evening, and the Ming army pursued it for more than 100 miles, until they encountered a large force of Mongolian cavalry in formation, and they withdrew in an orderly manner.

This time the Ming army lost nearly 1,000 men, but the Mongols suffered numerous casualties, roughly estimated at around 30,000, of which one-third were captured and captured.

For a time, the Ming army camp was overcrowded, and Zhu Gui had to order these prisoners to continue to be escorted to Dingzhou Wei in the rear.

He even gave the token of his vassal king to the personal guards of the leader, otherwise it is doubtful whether the defending general of Dingzhou Guard would dare to open the door after seeing so many Mongol captives.

According to a Mongolian camp more than 150 miles from Zhu Gui's camp, a thunderous sound came from inside the tent.

"How can this be reasonable, you waste, 50,000 people can't even defeat 10,000 people of the Ming army? What's the use of raising you? ”

A young man in a python robe stood inside the tent and yelled.

More than a dozen middle-aged people in the tent all lowered their heads and blushed, not daring to speak.

The three battles in these two days were really very bad, and they don't even know how they lost now.

Moreover, a third of the grain and grass looted during this period of time have been lost, and the casualties of the cavalry are not small, if they continue like this, I am afraid that the second snow on the grassland has not yet fallen, and they will be driven back to the grassland.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army's fighting style is very different from before, so we will suffer losses, but our strength still has a considerable advantage, as long as the later actions are more cautious, the advantage is still on our side."

A middle-aged man dressed as a civil official saw that no one else spoke, so he could only stubbornly speak.

And from his mouth, it can also be known that the young man in front of him is the Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Timur.

The minister in front of him is the one who has been replaced by Ye Sudieer in history, but now the advantage of the Mongolian side is still very large, and he has not made any moves.

He stared at Ye Sudie'er for a while, until the other party's head was lowered again and again, and then finally said, "Okay, then what do you think about the battle ahead?" ”

"The minister has sent someone to investigate, these two support for the Ming army here is divided into two parts, but its commanders are all from the Ming Dynasty's Datongfu vassal state, and its strength is only 34,000 people, and has not received any support from the Ming Dynasty, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has an empty treasury, and we can't afford it."

also said with a smug face.

Nomads do have a natural advantage over agricultural civilization, although they also carry out grazing activities, but once there is no food, they only need to grab it, which is a typical example of fighting to feed war.

In the history of the world, it was not until the popularity of muskets that this historical game was completely ended.

"Getting to the point." Tagustil said with a frown.

"It's that we can besiege but not attack, and consume the other party." also said quickly.

"That's your idea? It's a complete fart, we have more than 100,000 elite cavalry, and we are afraid of the 30,000 people of the Ming army? Let me tell you, I am not here this time just to loot some grain for the winter, but to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's paralysis and carelessness, completely overthrow them, and restore the glory of my Great Yuan Dynasty. ”

At this point, there was a frenzied glint in his eyes.

I didn't expect him to be such an aspiring emperor.

It's just that the other ministers in the account didn't speak, and Su Die'er also showed an unclear look in his eyes.

However, he still said: "The emperor is wise, but the current Ming army is really not easy to mess with, maybe as long as he gets rid of him, the Ming Dynasty will have no one available, and when the time comes, the emperor can drive straight in." ”

also said in accordance with the thoughts of the ancient Si Tier.

"You're right, but that's why I want to get rid of this person."
