The cavalry of Shanyang Wanhu exploded like thunder and raised a butcher's knife against the Yuan army under the defire red. Originally, the Ming army that fought on foot was determined to be unable to pursue the dehuochi who fled on horseback, but the Shanyang Wanhu, who was also riding a horse and still waiting for work, defected, and there was no reason to flee from the fire.

Azamiri personally used a scimitar to cut off the head of the dehuo Chi as a pledge of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty. lost the commander, and the tens of thousands of yuan army finally collapsed completely, and the Yuan people all over the mountains and fields became the spoils of the Ming army and the Shanyang Wanhu department, or were beheaded, or captured alive. Many of the sinners and miners who went to war were rewarded with a forgiveness of their own sins.

Up and down Taiyuan, there was a lot of joy, and everyone was happy.

"Your Highness, the siege of Taiyuan has been lifted, and the fire has been ambushed. In this battle, more than 68,000 Yuan people were captured and more than 30,000 beheaded...... Big win, this is a big win! Wang Bi's face was full of joy.

"There were only 60,000 captives...... Alas, it seems that the number of miners is not enough again. Zhu Li frowned. When the first hot air balloon attacked, he already knew that the battle was decided. Originally, it was more than enough to defend the city with the manpower in the city, but he took a fancy to the sturdy Mongolian men outside the city, so he thought of this trick to lead but not launch, and advance in the open space to break the enemy.

Those Mongolian men seem to be good materials for mining, and it would be a pity if they couldn't stay and open mines. Otherwise, he didn't want to waste his brain on breaking the enemy, so he directly handed over the affairs of defending the city to Wang Bi, and hid in the mansion to study the steam locomotive that Lao Wu drew that could run by himself, wouldn't it be fast.

However, I thought that I could catch at least 100,000 yuan, but I didn't want to have only 60,000 people...... I think there were more than 30,000 miners pardoned in this war, so there were only 30,000 more laborers...... Zhu Li couldn't help but have a headache for the source of the mining coolies.

"That's right, Your Highness. The Liao King of the Yuan Court, Aza Shili, led his troops to defect, and it was he who personally beheaded the head of the Prime Minister of the Yuan Court. This person has now asked to see him outside the account, can His Highness wish to see him? Wang Bi only then remembered that Aza was lost, so he asked Zhu Li.

"King Liao of the Yuan Court?" Zhu Li looked sideways. Although he doesn't want to worry about mundane affairs, a prince of the Yuan Court, even if his father comes, he can't take it lightly. He immediately straightened up and said to the left and right: "Quick, please let it into the account, don't slack off." ”

"The sin general is lost in Aza, and he will meet the king of the Ming Dynasty." Aza lost his life and bowed down.

"The King of Liao is polite." Zhu Li has a wide range of knowledge, and is a rare good student with excellent character and learning in the main hall, and naturally knows etiquette and the way to win people's hearts. At this time, he personally got up and helped Aza Lost Li up, and the smile on his face could be described as like a spring breeze: "This king once heard the name of King Liao in the mouth of his fifth brother Zhu Su. The King of Liao and I traded with the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides have always been good friends. This time, it helped me kill the thief chieftain to get rid of the fire, which shows the sincerity. ”

"Barbarians, don't dare to claim the title of King of Liao." Aza lost his hand, but waved his hand. For Corporal Lixian of Zhu Li, he was also very satisfied in his heart. "His Royal Highness King Wu of the Ming Dynasty has helped me a lot in Shanyang Wanhu, and has sent caravans to communicate with us every year...... We should have returned to the Ming Dynasty early, but the Northern Yuan was too powerful to move lightly. ”

"Now that the fire is offended, I dare not help the abuse...... We are willing to raise the clan to serve the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if the Ming Dynasty may accept it? ”

"Pitch?" Zhu Li was stunned, and he didn't expect that Aza would actually raise his clan to surrender. "I don't know what the scale of your ministry is now?"

"My Shanyang Wanhu has always been strong, and now there are more than 100,000 herdsmen, and more than 70,000 cavalry. If you count women and children, there are about 300,000 people. ”

"The Central Plains of the clan is extremely rich, and the cattle and sheep are innumerable. It's just that they were forcibly conscripted here, but most of the cattle, sheep, women and children stayed in the tribe. There are frequent battles on the grassland, and if you don't return early, you will be lost. Aza said and glanced at Zhu Li.

Zhu Li thought quickly in his heart, it was rare for the Northern Yuan royal family to take effect, and his father would definitely not refuse. However, I don't know the situation of Shanyang Wanhu, what is the specific, it is better to let my father ask the fifth child before making a decision. So he smiled at Aza and said, "In this case, your ministry will temporarily return to its original location and protect your property, cattle and sheep." ”

"This king immediately sent the credit of your tribe to kill the fire red, as well as the request of the king of Liao, to the capital, and forwarded it to his father and the emperor to know. I think that my father will definitely reward him for his meritorious deeds, and he will make great contributions to King Jialiao. ”

There was no mention of the annex in Azazuri's words, and from what he said, it seemed that he still wanted to stay where he was. He is not easy to arrange by himself, the fifth seems to have some plan for the grassland, so it's better not to mess up.

"I'm tired of King Jin." Aza Lost Lane. Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said to Zhu Li: "I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Jin can send some people to walk with me?" Marshal Xu Da of your army led his army into the desert, and if he accidentally met him, he might regard us as enemies......"

"What do you say? Xu Shuai has invaded the desert? Zhu Li was shocked.

"Yes. Dehuo Chi originally wanted to lure Marshal Xu Da to rescue Taiyuan, but Marshal Xu Da did not pay attention to this, but took the opportunity to go straight into the desert. King Jin doesn't know? ”

Zhu Li and Wang Bi looked at each other, Taiyuan City was besieged, and they really didn't know about it. Wang Bi slapped his knee: "Ah! Xu Shuai must have sent troops to take the head of the Northern Yuan Emperor! ”

"This great work is about to be taken by Xu Shuai, why don't you have my share of the king!"

"Go, quickly report this matter to Yingtian." Zhu Li immediately ordered left and right. "In addition, order the troops of Xuanfu and Datong Towns to guard the passes of the Great Wall, send them out of the pass at night, and find the traces of the army as soon as possible!"

Xu Da left, and he Zhu Li was the supreme commander of Northern Xinjiang at this time. It is necessary to protect the back road of Xu Da's northern expeditionary army, and at the same time find a way to meet the army, so as to respond.

The army is out of the customs, which is not trivial. Even though Helin is now empty, there are still countless dangers in the desert.

In any case, you must find out the news first.

……

So at this time, where is Xu Da's army?

Although Hala and Lin were the old capital of Mongolia, they did not actually have any city walls. Most of the buildings in the city were built by the Han craftsmen who were captured by the Mongolian Great Khan in the past, but the desert wind and sand blew down for a hundred years, and after many power struggles and civil strife at the top of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, many buildings in this city that was once the center of the world have long been abandoned.

More of the dwellings in the city are nomadic yurts than wooden buildings, and the boundless darkness of the desert at night contrasts with the firelight in this Mongolian city, making the desert city even more brilliant and mysterious.

On the mound a few miles away from the forest, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty, were standing on the mound and watching. It was extremely cold at night, and the old man and young man were wrapped in thick sweaters and were constantly watching the situation in the city with binoculars.

"There is peace in the city, and it seems that the news of our arrival has not yet reached here." Zhu Di put down the telescope and put away the lens barrel section by section. With the cold wind at night, he could even hear the laughter of the Northern Yuan nobles in the city. "But there is no lord in the city...... It seems that we still need to look north. Alas, the Yuan Lord used to be in the Central Plains, but because of the constant cruising between the capitals, the people and the money were lost. After returning to the desert, he still has this virtuous ......"

"King Yan thinks, should we attack Helin?" Xu Da had the intention to compare Zhu Di and asked.

Zhu Di lowered his head and thought about it, attacking Helin, although he could show off his might. However, the traces of the Ming army's surprise attack were revealed, and the sect leader learned the news.

If the Yuan Lord is bent on fleeing north and the vast desert, it will be really difficult to catch this fang.

But......

After thinking about it again, Zhu Di raised his head and said: "Xu Shuai, although he lost the advantage of the speed of the soldiers when he fought with Lin. ”

"But I thought ...... It's still time to fight! ”

"Good." There was a gleam in Xu Da's eyes. He looked at Zhu Di with approval, and said in his heart that the old brother of the Zhu family is really a successor, this His Royal Highness King Yan seems to be stubborn, but he is also a natural general worthy of cultivation.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight. In the past, Yuan Ting used to be powerful and powerful on the heads of Han people such as us, bullying our Chinese people. Now, he has violated my Ming boundaries several times and slaughtered my Ming people. ”

"This time, it's time for them to taste the bitter fruit."

He waved his hand lightly backwards, and behind him, his own soldiers waved the order flag, conveying the order of the generalissimo.

With the unfurling of the banner, countless Ming cavalry emerged from the boundless darkness like ghosts in the underworld......
