Zhu Zhanyan reluctantly handed the monocular to the old man.

He knew that this thing would not come back when it was in the hands of the old man.

It was purely Zhu Zhan's foolish play to create this thing, and he didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to promote the progress of Daming's science and technology, because he knew that he could do very little.

In contrast, how can there be a pleasure in being an idle prince?

Sure enough, as soon as he got the things, the old man kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield except for being amazed, and he didn't mean to return the things to Zhu Zhanyan at all.

It was still secondary that things could not come back, and what made Zhu Zhanyan most uncomfortable was that he couldn't see the battle situation in front of him.

He hadn't had time to see the cavalry charge and the infantry coordination!

"What is this?" Zhu Zhanji looked at the old man's strange appearance, and couldn't help but pull the reins in his hand and leaned towards his cousin.

"It has nothing to do with you! You can't see it anyway! The thing was robbed, Zhu Zhanyan said that it was very uncomfortable, and his tone became very impulsive.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips, and immediately pulled the reins in his hand, and was very wise to stay away from his cousin.

Quietly following the old man for a while, Zhu Zhanyan listened to the voices of the cavalry and infantry in the distance getting farther and farther away, and felt uneasy.

He knew that this situation meant that the front had gained an advantage, or at least forced the enemy army back, otherwise such a situation would not have occurred.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhanyan immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately pulled the reins in his hand and prepared to retreat.

"Your Royal Highness, ...... you are"

The war horse under Zhu Zhan's crotch was discovered by the Jinyi guard as soon as it moved.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's no fun to stay here, I'll go back and see my dog."

Zhu Zhanyan snorted, wanting to use this to confuse the past.

However, Jin Yiwei was obviously instructed in advance, and did not let him go immediately, but set his sights on the old man.

Zhu Zhanyan was finally released.

It's not that the old man doesn't value him, it's not that he thinks that the war has come to an end, and Zhu Zhanyan won't be in any danger, Zhu Di just thinks that no matter how out of line Zhu Zhanyan is, it's just a nine-year-old child.

However, he forgot one sentence: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Zhu Zhan Yan returned to the camp and let Zhu Ling lead ten blue and white dogs (two of them were injured) to wander around.

What? To the battlefield? It's true that newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers, but they don't say they're not afraid of death!

Sitting on horseback, watching the ten blue and white dogs running around with Huan'er, Zhu Zhanyan fell into deep thought.

Historically, there will not be much confrontation in this war, and this direct face-to-face with Benjamin is already the largest and only battle in the Northern Expedition.

The Ming army then spent more than a month in pursuit of Benjamin and Arutaibu, until mid-July.

In addition to this northern expedition, this confrontation with the Tatar Ministry was also the biggest battle that the old man had encountered in his life.

In addition to this time, the largest battle encountered by the old man in his five personal expeditions was the battle of Hulan and Huwen during the second northern expedition in the twelfth year of Yongle, and at that time, Warat only dispatched 30,000 people.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Zhu Zhanyan was thinking about it, when Zhu Ling's voice came from his ears.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanyan withdrew from his thoughts and turned his head to look at his guard.

"Jinyiwei came to report, saying that the army in front is like a broken bamboo, and the Chinese army is ready to push forward."

"Got it, we'll just follow behind the Chinese army." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand, then whistled, pulled the reins and turned his head.

It was the safest thing to do behind the Chinese army, because there were 3,000 battalions and 5 battalions in the front of the 4th army, and there were people in the back, so basically they would not encounter the enemy.

But that's just the basics.

Frontal battlefield.

The Tatar department led by Ben Ya Li is actually the weakest side in the entire grassland, if it weren't for the fact that Ben Ya Li was too unforced, first killing the Ming envoy and then destroying the 100,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di would not have done anything to him.

Prior to this, the steppe had formed a three-legged situation of the three guards of Warat, Tatar and Uliangha, and these three parties consumed each other, and the Ming Dynasty restrained them with the method of mutual market.

Benjamin's practice of first killing the Ming envoy and then destroying the Ming army's 100,000 troops broke the balance of Zhu Di's painstaking management, so that he had to take action against Benya.

Under the impact of the elite of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatar department, which was already the weakest, collapsed almost instantly, and even the Shenji Battalion didn't have time to show its strength, but just fired a volley of swarm rockets and was told to stop, tidy up the equipment and move forward.

"Report! Report ahead! The enemy has dropped a lot of baggage! ”

"Report! Report ahead! The enemy is retreating in a northeasterly direction! ”

"Report! Report ahead! There seems to be a fight within the enemy army! The Tatar master Arutai led part of his men and horses to break away from the army and flee in the direction of the east! ”

……

The army advanced slowly, and the battle reports from the front were transmitted to Zhu Di's Chinese army one by one through the heralds.

"Pass the order! The 3,000 battalions hold off the pursuit, don't get too far from the army! ”

"The cavalry of the five military battalions is mobilized! Contact the 3,000 Battalion with the Shenji Battalion and the Chinese Army! ”

"The left post shrinks, and the right post advances to the right front, relieving the pressure on the three thousand battalions!"

……

One order after another was issued, and the behemoth, consisting of more than 400,000 people, moved in an orderly manner and advanced towards the Tatar hinterland.

……

On the other side, Zhu Zhanyan also led more than 100 people to lead ten dogs to wander around the grassland.

His original goal was just to come here to make soy sauce, and if it wasn't for the old man's name, he wouldn't have come, so naturally he didn't care about it.

It's just that what he didn't realize was that now he had slowly broken away from the big army.

This is not surprising, because he was hanging behind the Chinese army and rushing in front of the people who were cleaning up the rear, which was a conceptual action, and in fact there were no people in front and behind.

By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late, because he saw the river in front of him.

"Hiss......" Zhu Zhanyan gasped.

"Isn't this going to be ......?"

The three words of the river of tribulation came to his mind.

"Zhu Ling! Zhu Ling! "In the end, he has not experienced this, even if he is a human being in two lives, Zhu Zhanyan is still inevitably panicked.

"Hurry! Retreat! ”

However, it was already too late.

Before Zhu Ling could gather people, everyone noticed the faint dust raised in the east, and at a glance they knew that it was cavalry.

"!!" Zhu Zhanyan scolded the country, he really didn't expect this stubble.

He knew that there would be a big leak in this northern expedition, but he didn't expect it to be here, let alone that it would befall him.
