The first contact between the two sides appeared to be somewhat rigid.

When the Timurid Empire came with a whole army, Zhu Di was not afraid and decisively went out of the camp to meet the battle. The two sides set up on a plain, and in the distance, the ruined city of Yili Lili was located.

Both sides are tentative, so there is no trick. On the Timurid side, the Chinese army was still dominated by Muslim heavy infantry with turbans, with occasional Mongol shepherd infantry or heavily armoured European infantry, with Turkic assault cavalry on the left flank and Mongol archers on the right. The Timurid Empire was not without archers, after all, it could be regarded as a Mongol lineage, but the number did not seem to be very large.

Zhu Di's middle army was mixed with the infantry led by Fei Ju and the Shenji battalion led by Zhang Yu, with the Mongolian army with slightly reduced morale on the left flank, and the Hami army led by Wang Xian on the right flank. This part of the army is of a large and mixed race, with Han, Mongolian, and Uyul people of all colors, and the equipment such as light armor and heavy armor is also chaotic, and it looks like a rabble. However, these people have actually gone through the bloody battle of guarding Hami, and their combat power is very considerable.

A pure black flag, with three rounds of blood-red round suns distributed in the shape of a zigzag, this is the strange and full of slaughter of the Timurid Empire's "Black Sky Three Day Flag", with the swing of the Black Sky Three Day Flag, the Timurid Empire's military array began to move forward. It seemed that the sound of footsteps that could shake the heavens and the earth and the smoke clouds that could almost cover the sky and the sun, even Fei Ju, who had experienced a hundred battles, felt a great pressure.

"He's a little servant...... This Timurid Empire, sure enough, has two brushes......"

Fei Ju already felt that this military merit was not so easy to take, and these enemy troops in front of him were not like the army of the barbarians outside the Guan, but like the Han army in the Central Plains. In fact, in the process of following Lao Zhu to conquer the world in the past, Fei Ju did not look at the Mongolian people outside the pass, those Mongolian people except for running faster, there is nothing special about them, the army is weak, the combat power is low, and the Ming army is often crushed at the touch of a button, and the Yuan people are far less difficult than when they fight against other Han forces who conquer the world.

Those Han forces that competed with the Ming Dynasty for the world, such as Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, were all full of elite divisions in the later period. If it is said that the army of the Mongolian people is a gust of wind, and it often comes and goes quickly, then the army of those Han forces is like a mountain, and the mountain is overwhelmed, often giving people a feeling that it is difficult to resist.

And the Timurid Empire in front of him feels like a mountain to Fei Ju.

"Stand the spear, lift the shield to Lao Tzu!" Seeing that the army that moved like a mountain began to draw bows and arrows in unison, Fei Ju, who recalled the desperate years in the past, had the hairs on his back standing on end, but the whole person was as enthusiastic as when he was a teenager.

"Rain of arrows, raise your shield!" The herald conveyed Fei Ju's order in concise words, and the Ming army raised their shields in unison.

Fei Ju also hid under the shield of his own soldiers, and when the dense rain of arrows hitting the shield ended, he pushed away the soldiers who were loyally protecting him to his left and right, and saw that the Timurid Empire had begun to blow the trumpet and charge.

"Hold your ground!" Fei Ju immediately stepped forward and kicked back a recruit who was moved by the atmosphere of the battle formation and couldn't help but want to rush forward. "Damn, Ben Hou hasn't ordered it yet, what are you doing with your cub?"

"It's not time for you to the blades yet! Hold the front for Lao Tzu and wait for the order ......"

The words had just fallen, and in the distance, Zhu Di's high watchtower had already sent a flag for firing, Fei Ju's face was overjoyed, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, change the formation!" ”

The shield-wielding infantry immediately turned sideways and gave way to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who had been waiting for a long time. The firecrackers in the hands of the Shenji Battalion soldiers had already been filled with medicine, and at this time, they all stepped forward, fearlessly facing the charging enemy troops, leveling the firecrackers and aiming.

"Three-stage strike, put!"

Zhang Yu had been repeatedly estimating in his heart for a long time, and as soon as these enemy troops entered the effective firing range, he gave a loud shooting order, and immediately, the sound of bursting beans sounded on the battle formation of the Ming army, and the pungent gunpowder smoke rose, and the almost impermeable firepower net shot towards the charging infantry of the Timurid Empire.

The seemingly unstoppable "mountain" has stagnated, and the Shenji Battalion is like an invincible divine weapon, cutting through the "mountain" that should be as solid as a rock without mercy. If you look down from above, you can see that the "mountain" that is pressing forward is constantly being thinned, thinned, and thinned by the fire guns of the Shenji Battalion. No matter how much the Muslim infantry chanted the name of the Father, they could not get any further.

Zhang Yu personally held a rifled gun with a longer range, constantly searching for the location of the enemy general, and he was secretly terrified while harvesting his life. If it is replaced by the Northern Yuan or the Goryeo Wa State and other armies, under such casualties, I am afraid that the enemy army will already be defeated. But these soldiers of the Timurid Empire ...... But it's still struggling to move forward!

On the lookout, Zhu Di's face was also very blue. He stood extremely high, and he could see that the Chinese army had completely suppressed the enemy army by virtue of the firepower advantage of the firepower. Even if the enemy generals were well commanded and constantly sent rear teams to bypass the fire network with the intention of raiding, they were stopped by Fei Ju's elite Ming army. It can be said that the victory of the Chinese army is already a certainty, but despite this, the situation on both flanks is very unoptimistic.

The Mongol army on the left flank of the Ming army faced the archers on the right flank of the enemy, and the archers against archers, which should have been a protracted battle. However, Zhu Di has already seen that the Mongol army on his side has shown signs of collapse, and the enemy's archers are obviously more courageous, even if the number is far inferior to the Ming army, but there is an invincible momentum, not only using the mangu tactics with bows and arrows, but also in the shooting against the archers who are slightly superior to their own numbers, this cavalry can even divide their manpower to feint to assist the weak Chinese army......

And the Hami army on the right flank was also caught in a bitter battle. In order to defend against the surprise attack of the cavalry, Zhu Di allocated a lot of vehicles to Wang Xian, so that he could use them as fortifications to resist the impact, and Wang Xian was quite good at guarding, and the front line was still arranging for the rear army to continue digging trenches and building fortifications. But even so, the offensive of those shock cavalry was like a tide wave after wave, Wang Xian's formation retreated again and again, if he retreated, he would almost come into contact with Zhu Di's own formation.

Zhu Di frowned, the first tactic they arranged was to first use the most elite Ming army to break through the surface, first defeat the Chinese army, and then assist the two wings to completely annihilate the army of the Timurid Empire...... However, although the Chinese army is now overwhelmed, the two flanks are more dangerous than expected. When Zhu Di was hesitating whether to use reserves to support the two wings, the main position of the Timurid Empire in the distance remembered the sound of the horn of the retreating army, Zhu Di was stunned, but saw that the troops of the Timurid Empire were really like a tide of retreat, and they withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of each other.

"It's a pity, as long as it takes a while, ......" Zhu Di patted the guardrail of the lookout with some anger. In a few moments, the Shenji Battalion will definitely be able to defeat the enemy's Chinese army...... Although both flanks may also be routed by enemy forces.

However, the decisiveness of the chief general of the Timurid Empire also greatly surprised him.

"When it is broken, it is broken, without dragging the mud and water......" Looking at the Timurid Empire's military flag that was gradually moving away, Zhu Di was not only pity, but also greatly jealous in his heart. Such a kingdom was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

"Good, good......"

Zhu Di couldn't restrain it, revealing an excited gaze.
