"More than ten miles to the north, the whereabouts of the Yuan army were discovered. At a cursory glance, I'm afraid there are hundreds of riders. The scout came to Zhu Di and said.

The Ming soldiers around the bonfire couldn't help but stir.

Although they are elite "night does not collect", they are full of calculations, and the number of people is only more than ten horses.

"What's the panic, I'm waiting to leave Suncheon, isn't it just to find out about the enemy. Now that the whereabouts of Yuan Tartar have been discovered, it should be rejoicing. Zhang Yu stopped the sergeant who was a little flustered, and turned his head to look at Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness King Yan, I'm afraid this is not the cavalry sent by the Yuan army to collect food." The Yuan army likes to plunder, and every time it invades the Central Plains, it often sends a grain team, one as a prospecting horse, and the other plunders the people of the Central Plains to raise the grain and grass used by the army. ”

"I'm afraid, the vanguard of the Yuan army is also not far away. Let's go back to Suncheon first. ”

"Nope." Zhu Di shook his head. "I'm waiting to come out to investigate, to find out who the commander of the Yuan Army is, and what is the scale of the offense this time. Now that I have only seen a grain army, how can I get back to Xu Shuai? ”

"Zhang Yu, why don't you take a few people back to Shuntian first and inform Xu Shuai of the news of the encounter with the Yuan army's grain team."

"This king led people to secretly follow these Yuan Tartars, don't lose their traces."

"Your Highness, how can the last general abandon His Highness?" Zhang Yu hugged his fists. "Just send a few brothers to this matter, and the last general will live and die with His Highness here."

A flash of relief flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, and then he patted Zhang Yu's shoulder heavily. After arranging for a few soldiers to go back to report the news, he and Zhang Yu took the rest of the Ming army to follow the scout horse to find the grain team of the Yuan army.

At this time, there were only fifteen sergeants around Zhu Di, and some sergeants were worried that something would happen to him, the king of Yan, so they persuaded him to go back.

"Why, you can shed blood for Daming, but this king can't shed it?" Zhu Di smiled heroically. "Rest assured, this king will never be captured by the Yuan army."

"If he falls into a desperate situation, this king will not trouble his brothers, and he will be the first to be martyred."

The crowd couldn't persuade him, so they had to follow him. In my heart, I admired this Yan King even more. Early the next morning, the group spotted a group of Yuan troops marching in the mountain pass.

These Yuan troops had obviously just plundered a certain village, and they were mostly burdened, and there were still blood stains on their clothes and armor. Several of the soldiers were dressed in nondescript embroidered silk, apparently stripped from the woman's body.

A group of people rode horses, and their horses walked in the col like reins.

"Tsk, this group of Yuan dogs is still so swaggering in my Ming Dynasty, so rampant."

"I think it's a tribe that hasn't seen the world, and has never seen the flower world of my Central Plains, and after entering the customs, I'm dazzled, so it's too deep into my Ming border......"

"Self-reliance...... Heh, do you think our Ming is a weak Song......"

The soldiers of the Ming army crouched on the mountain, watching the Yuan army below swaggering past with righteous indignation. Zhang Yu saw that the terrain here was dangerous, and saw that this Yuan army was loose, untidy, and seemed to be a rabble, so he secretly said to Zhu Di: "His Royal Highness King Yan, do you want to raid?" ”

“…… If there are many enemies, I will have few, so I must not. Zhu Di clenched his fists, and he stared at the spear in the hand of a Yuan Tartar below. There was a head on the spear, and Zhu Di could see it clearly, and the facial features were clearly a Han child.

Although he was tempted to rush down the mountain in one breath and cut off the head of the Yuan Tartar with the latest steel sword in his hand, he knew that even if he used a sneak attack, the numerical disadvantage would definitely cause the team to lose most of the night.

"Your Highness, looking at the direction they are traveling, I am afraid that something is wrong." A soldier who does not collect at night stepped forward. "Thirty miles on, there is another village. Although most of the people have moved into the city, about 20 or so families are still stranded in the village. ”

"Where's the nearest water source?" Zhu Di thought about it and asked if he didn't accept it at night.

"About a few miles away, there's a lake." That night did not close.

"In this way, the Yuan Tartar must rest at the lake. Let's go to the lake first. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately let the dozen or so horsemen leave first, and no longer followed this team of food teams.

As Zhu Di expected, when this group of Yuan Tartars came to the lake, they really chose to draw water from the lake to quench their thirst. It was only when they came to the lake that the war horses did not have time to bow their heads to drink, only to hear a "boom", and the earth suddenly exploded. Led by a silk-clad Yuan Tartar, even people and horses were blown up into the sky by this loud noise!

"What! What's going on? ”

"There is an ambush? Is it the artillery of the Ming army? ”

The Yuan Tartars were inexplicably shocked by this sudden change, and they once suspected that there was an artillery charge of the Ming army here. But first, I didn't see the projectiles fired by the cannons, and secondly, the surroundings were quite wide, and there was no place to ambush a large number of Ming troops. Worst of all, the horses were frightened by the sudden explosion and began to agitate, and the horses kicked in all directions, causing several powerful explosions.

"It's the ground! It's the ground that has exploded! ”

"Immortal God! How could the ground crack, is it a heavenly punishment! ”

"Spread out, all spread out, get out of here......"

The continuous explosions completely destroyed the formation of the Yuan army. Taking advantage of the panic of the Yuan army, Zhu Di led more than ten horsemen to attack brazenly at night, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, directly taking the Yuan army that was giving orders.

"It's the Ming Army! Ming Army! Prepare to counterattack...... "The Yuan army was immediately taking out bows and arrows from their horses.

His reaction was not unpleasant, and they were skillfully bowed and horseed. He is one of the best condor archers in the tribe. Before these Ming troops rushed in front of him, he was sure to shoot the young general on the opposite side of his horse. However, it was still too late. I saw Zhu Di's right hand touch his waist and take out a thing that was only a foot long. With the flash of fire, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the heart of the team who was drawing the bow, and then he fell from his horse on his stomach.

"The sun, the moon, the rivers and the mountains are forever! Kill! Zhu Di held this object high and roared angrily.

……

"In other words, you used these firearms to break the 200 yuan army with 15 cavalry, and even captured more than 30 people?" In the Shuntian Mansion, Xu Da, who had always been moody, looked at the group of prisoners who were escorted into the city with their hands tied in surprise, and looked at the "revolver" handed over by Zhu Di in disbelief.

"Xu Shuai, this is called 'Thunderbolt', and the thing used to surprise attack Yuan Tartar is called 'Mine'. It's all new gadgets that the old five have come up with. Zhu Di said.

"This is similar to the new rifled flintlock pistol, except that it is more elaborate and can be loaded with several pills at a time. It only takes an instant to fire, and at medium distance, it is far faster than the bows and arrows of the Yuan army...... As a surprise, this thing can be said to be the best in the world. Hey, it's so much better than a sword or something. ”

"This is given to our brother by the fifth brother for self-defense, and I and the second and third children only have one each!"
