Chapter 154: Battle

There are more and more news from the Mengyuan scouts, and Zhaozong summarizes them here, and roughly knows the reality of the Ming army in the Turahe River.

Timur, Harazhang, Barbarian and others were summoned, and Zhaozong shared the news.

"There are tens of thousands of Ming troops in the Tura River, but the specific number of Ming troops is not known. Somehow, the scouts of the Ming army can always spot our scouts from a distance, and they can't get close, but there is no sign of pulling out. ”

"Weichen knows one thing, the Ming army has a thing called clairvoyant mirror, which can detect the movements of our army from a very long distance, but unfortunately it was not captured, and I have never seen it."

"This is a trouble, the army is mobilized, if it is still the same as the previous time, the Ming army will flee in despair, so what can I do."

"There is no trace of the Ming army pulling out, and it may also have the meaning of a decisive battle with us. According to Weichen, when the battle is quickly resolved and the whole army is exhausted, even if the Ming army is prepared, 100,000 against 50,000, the advantage is in me, and if I run, I can also disrupt the deployment of the Ming army and look for opportunities. ”

"Your Majesty, there is some truth in what the barbarian said, sooner or later there will be a battle, and I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible."

Zhaozong sat on the dragon chair, thinking quietly, and everyone in the hall was silent, just waiting for Zhaozong's order.

Zhaozong was under great pressure, and in the original history, Zhaozong enabled Wang Baobao to defeat Xu Da's middle route army together with He Zongzhang.

Let Meng Yuan be able to breathe, holding the clouds, Liaodong and the vast prairie, and can also compete with the Ming army, which can be regarded as the foundation is still there.

Now a big battle with Xu Dajun has greatly weakened Meng Yuan's vital forces, lost his troops, and barely gathered 100,000 troops.

If this battle is lost, it may be possible to go east to Liaodong to survive, but it is meaningless.

"Spread my will, start the army today, and Lin will leave 3,000 soldiers to guard it, and the rest of the people will go out with me."

"Expand Timur to lead the Chinese army, lead 40,000 iron cavalry, and go straight to the middle."

"Harazhang led the left army and led 30,000 iron cavalry to outflank from the left flank."

"The barbarian led the right army and led 30,000 iron cavalry to encircle from the right flank."

"In this battle, I live and die with all the soldiers, and there is no life or death."

"Yes."

What Zhaozong said was a bit tragic, and Wang Baobao and Ha Razhang barbarians and others didn't want to say anything, if they didn't win, they would die, and it was redundant to say anything.

Everything went on in silence, and each of them led his men and horses, and prepared the dry rations necessary for the march, just one to eat back and forth.

It doesn't matter how much, either defeat the Ming army and get some supplements from it, or be defeated by the Ming army, and the Mengyuan dissipates into history.

The city gate of Helin was opened, the three armies swore to go on the expedition, and the people who came to see him off were silent.

It's a good thing that His Majesty has the belief in this decisive battle, but after all, there are still too many defeats, and it is still unknown how many people will come back alive after the war.

I can only pray for the blessing of Changsheng Heaven in my heart, and hope that the family members in the army will return safely.

The three-way army went out to fight, and Zhaozong followed Wang Baobao to sit in the middle army and galloped on horseback.

Within two days, the army had marched to the Tura River, and the spies of the two sides were engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Every moment there are scouts dying quietly in this grassland.

Even with the help of the telescope, the Ming army can wait and see from afar, but if it wants to obtain more specific information, it still needs to go deep into the Yuan army's sphere of influence.

Li Wenzhong's camp tent, at this time, scouts came to report the movements of the Yuan army.

"Report, the Yuan army is still a hundred and ten miles away from our army, and traces of the Yuan army have been found on the left and right."

"Can you find out the number of Yuan troops?"

"The Yuan army is very fast, since Tianming found the movement of the Yuan army, there has been a probe, and then the Yuan army went straight to our army, and the exploration horse can only get a glimpse of the general people and horses of the Yuan army."

"There are about 30,000 or 40,000 people in the middle road, and the number of Yuan troops coming from the left and right is 20,000 or 30,000 each."

"Got it, let's find out."

"The Yuan army is menacing, it seems that it can't wait, what do you think."

"From the point of view of the last general, this nearly 100,000 army is the last strength of the Mengyuan army, and the Yuan army that came here is the last dying struggle, just defeat it, and the north will not have to worry about it from now on."

"The general won a big victory before, let's come along the road, and we didn't find any signs of the army's mobilization, it should not be far from Helin, and the Yuan army began to jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Yes, since the general doesn't know where to go, the opportunity cannot be lost, Meng Yuan wants to fight to the death, why should we refuse, the last general will ask for battle."

"I'm the same, our East Road army has come all the way, and there hasn't been a decent battle yet, and the big knives on the waists of the soldiers have long been hungry and thirsty, please decide."

"If that's the case, then fight."

After repairing for so many days, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and since the Yuan army has come to attack with a large army, Li Wenzhong and a cadre of generals are not afraid.

The Ming army was never afraid of fighting head-on with the Yuan army, what they were afraid of was that the Yuan army would run away if they couldn't beat it, and it was the most annoying thing to be unable to find a trace of them thousands of miles away.

The troops were arranged, the left and right sides were prepared, trapped in the horse pit, the light cavalry in front to attract firepower, and the heavy cavalry in the rear to wait for the formation.

The firecrackers stood behind the light horsemen, only waiting for the Yuan army to approach, and fired a volley to shoot them on their backs.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Yuan army suffered a loss, and Li Wenzhong waited for work at ease, unlike Xu Da who led the troops to rush forward, and the state was not the same.

was fired in a volley by the firecrackers, and the Yuan army lost a lot of men and horses.

Then he was re-mounted and stepped forward, chopping melons and vegetables, because the Yuan army was prepared for earthquake and thunder, and the formation was a little sparse.

The gap between the fighting forces is not so big, and in the battle, the casualties of the Yuan army are very high, and one-on-one is no different from delivering food, and it was weakened by Xu Da.

The Ming army became more and more courageous, but the morale of the Yuan army gradually declined.

Wang Baobao of the Chinese army saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly said to Zhaozong.

"Your Majesty, the form is not right, there is not so much time to spy on the reality of the Ming army, when the whole army presses up, do not give the other party time to breathe."

"What about the earth-shattering thunder?"

"In a hurry, as long as you enter the military formation of the Ming army, the Ming army will inevitably have some scruples, and the earth-shaking thunder may not be able to come in handy."

"Just according to what Qing said."

Since Zhaozong agreed, Wang Baobao had no worries, and the form was not allowed to think too much.

hurriedly ordered the whole army to press on the left and right, and the pressure was put on Li Wenzhong's body.

Even if the Ming army was not afraid of death, it was always a little difficult to fight two or one, and the calculation of wanting to consume the strength of the Yuan army first and hit the morale of the other party failed.

The firecrackers often didn't have time to fire a few rounds, and they were rushed up by the cavalry of the Yuan army, and the firecrackers were scattered.

Seeing this, Li Wenzhong adjusted the formation, and did not follow the Yuan army's bells and whistles.

Directly put the heavy rider in front of you, and the light rider waits for the opportunity.

At this time, the battlefield was like a meat grinder, devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides of the enemy.

The Ming army was not afraid of death, and the Yuan army had the blessing of Zhaozong's personal expedition, and the war between the two sides entered a white-hot stage, just waiting for one side to show its decline.
