Last time, it was mentioned that after Zhu Di led the Ming army to completely defeat the "Timur" invading army, he incorporated the surrendered troops into the "Semu Battalion", that is, the "Hariel Army", and wanted to go north to resist the enemy.

The generals of the "Khale's Army" were very moved when they heard the news, for example, "Zhihan Jieer", who was originally an important minister of "Timur", said to the whole army: "The Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is our real 'Heavenly Khan'!" Now, we have to go and conquer the 'Tatars' and 'Warats' who killed the descendants of the 'Golden Family' to repay the great emperor 'Heavenly Khan' for his kindness! Although this "color-eyed" general spoke Turkic language, which Zhu Di and others could not understand, they could feel the atmosphere.

At this time, the morale of the "Harlean Army" was high, and Zhu Di endured the pain of distributing to them as much as 50 taels of silver per person per month, which was at least ten times the salary of ordinary Ming army infantry, which shows the importance that Zhu Di attached to this "Harriet Army". So, the army geared up and marched fast.

At the same time, the Tatar, Warat, and Mongolian tribal alliances heard that Zhu Di was "driving a personal expedition", and although he was driving the newly recovered "Central Asian Force", that is, the "Timurid Army", they hurriedly fled, but they were still caught up on the "bank of the Troubled River", so a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

The cavalry of the "Harlie Army" is quite dominant in the pursuit battle, not to mention Zhu Di's personal expedition? On this way, the cavalry in many Ming army units gradually fell, but only the "Harlie Army" followed Zhu Di's personal soldiers to protect the left and right, charging with horses, shouting and fighting, and I was invincible.

These battle-hardened Central Asian cavalry knew that the Mongols would use the advantage of light cavalry to try to distance themselves from them and shoot arrows in order to exhaust their horsepower. However, the Central Asian cavalry adopted a combination of light and heavy cavalry, and quickly formed an army formation, braving the rain of Mongol arrows, while the light cavalry returned fire and followed closely, and the heavy cavalry forced into the Mongolian cavalry formation.

After all, at that time, when the "Muslims" who were mainly Arabs, Persians and Turks were fighting to the death with the European "Christians", they were suddenly picked up by the Mongol cavalry who suddenly appeared, and used the "artillery" made by the "Han" craftsmen they captured to easily conquer the "Muslim cities" in the Middle East.

Later, when the "Muslims" were desperate, they had to ask for help from their former old enemies, the "Christians", and this led to military operations such as the Mongol cavalry against the Kievan Rus' army and the European "Teutonic Knights", which not only diverted the "extermination disaster" that the "Muslims" were about to face, but also found a way to defeat the Mongols from the 30,000 iron cavalry of the 10,000 troops of the Egyptian "Mamluk Dynasty", which was "equipped with heavy cavalry" and "camel cannons".

"Heavy cavalry" is the heavy cavalry with men and horses wearing armor, not only wearing iron helmets with masks, but also armor is mostly "plate armor" with strong defensive power, whether it is a knife or sword stabbing can easily be low-grade, especially the Mongolian "cow tendon bow" and "iron tuft", which will be easily bounced off when shot at the opponent, and there is no chance of winning except to fight for endurance to consume the opponent. What's more, the "camel cannon" is as thick as a thigh, carried by a camel and has the lethality of a light artillery, and the threat is huge.

In fact, the "camel artillery" is the so-called "light field artillery" that is carried by camels and used as a "gun mount", and is a common "firearm" in Central Asia and even West Asia. At that time, various forces in the Middle East liked to place miniature "artillery" or large-caliber "smoothbore guns" on the back of camels, and with the help of light gun carriages, "firearms" that could rotate backwards and forwards, left and right, so they were also called "camel swing guns". As for its design, it is said to have originated from the "camel crossbow" of the medieval Arabs.

Another theory is that this cannon was used in land warfare by the Egyptian "Mamluk Dynasty" in the "Battle of Diu" in 1509, after noticing the advantages of the ship's whirlwind cannon of the Portuguese Caravel ship. Obviously, this second argument should be more credible.

Because the "camel boom cannon" first appeared in Egypt. However, after the "Ottoman Empire" annexed Egypt, the "camel boom cannon" quickly spread among the empire's armies, and was taught to the Persians during the war between the empire and Persia, and then spread throughout Central and South Asia through the Persians.

Although the "camel manuturn" has no achievements in Europe, it has shown great success in the battlefields of Central and South Asia, because this weapon that combines "mobility" and "firepower" is very suitable for the poor road conditions of Central and South Asia, and has also shown its skills in the famous battle that decided the fate of India!

In the mid-to-late 18th century, the "Mughal Dynasty" established by the descendants of "Timur" in India began to collapse, and the princes and nobles formed warlords in various places to divide and attack each other, and the "Third Battle of Panipat" was a battle that took place in India on January 14, 1761.

At that time, the Afghan army led by Ahmad Shah Durrani, the king of the "Durrani Dynasty" of Afghanistan, fought against the Maratha army led by the "Maratha Alliance" ("Maratha Empire") general Sada Shivrao, and fought a battle at Panipat, north of Delhi, and the Afghan army was victorious.

The battle is considered one of the most decisive events in the history of South Asia in the 18th century. Because after this war, the original balance in India was completely broken, and the "Maratha", the most powerful local separatist regime in India, was severely damaged, and finally affected the political pattern of South Asia.

But at the same time, Afghanistan has suffered heavy losses and has not been able to penetrate deeper into India. It can be said that although this war interrupted the process of India's internal unification, objectively it provided favorable conditions for the "British Empire" to take the opportunity to penetrate deep into India in the future and establish colonial rule.

In the "Third Battle of Panipat", the "camel cannons" of the Afghans and Mughals routed the "elephant cavalry troops" that the Marathas were proud of, causing the European-style infantry learned from the West by the Western-style infantry of the Marathas to be blown up by the outflanking Muslims, and finally led to the complete collapse of the Maratha army.

Although the "Timurid army" was also equipped with a large number of "camel whirlwind cannons" during the Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty, and the range far exceeded the Ming army's "Tiger Zun Cannon" and other light guns, but not far away for away battles, the ammunition supply obviously could not keep up, and only good steel could be used on the blade, but after all, there was a time when it ran out.

On the contrary, there were many "heavy artillery" in the "firearms" of the Ming Dynasty, which far surpassed the cast bronze artillery of the "camel whirlwind cannon" in terms of range and power, such as the "return cannon", etc., and the Ming army was equipped with a large number of "handguns", such as "bird guns", "three-eyed guns", "Baizhu guns" ("tiger guns"), while the other side did not have "handguns".

Therefore, when the "Temur army" that invaded the Ming Dynasty and the main force of the Ming Dynasty bombarded each other with "firearms", they suffered losses to a large extent. However, after this "Central Asian powerhouse" was subdued by the Ming Dynasty, they were allowed to use the "firearms" of the Ming army to equip their troops, and the Ming army also borrowed and digested the field advantages of the "camel whirlwind cannon", and imitated and transformed it into a larger and more powerful "firearm" fixed on the carriage, which was conducive to infantry field combat.

Later, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to this time and space, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen not only stepped forward to cultivate the truth, but also Zhu Youzhen also traveled through time and space by chance, and obtained all the memories and life experience of the "great inventor" Nobel more than 200 years later, and wanted to completely improve gunpowder weapons.

In this way, two groups of cavalry with different equipment styles and combat qualities fought each other. Whether it is the Tartars or the Warats, or the cavalry of other Mongol tribes, when facing a powerful opponent with men and horses wearing heavy armor, except for turning around and running, if they go head-to-head, they have basically no chance of winning.

Of course, if the Mongolian army is generally equipped with blunt weapons such as "meteor hammer", "mace", and "golden gourd hammer", it may not be able to be tough with the equipped heavy cavalry, but unfortunately, the Mongolian steppe has suffered from the "economic blockade" of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, not to mention the manufacture of iron armor and sharp weapons, and even the "iron pot" used to cook food has become a "scarce commodity". Otherwise, every time the Mongols enter the fortress, in addition to grabbing grain, money, and women, they only like iron pots?

As for saying that the Mongolian cavalry is good at archery, and can shoot the enemy's eyes with his backhand, that is pure nonsense, after all, although the eyes of people are the most vulnerable, but the soldiers are riding on the war horses and galloping and bumping, how can they be so easy to be shot? Unless all Mongolian cavalry has the ability to "shoot the eagle"!

Not to mention the Turkic cavalry (Central Asian light cavalry) that followed closely behind the heavily mounted cavalry was also constantly drawing bows and shooting arrows at the Mongols who were fleeing in front of them! Therefore, the "Kalie Army" relied on its well-equipped, well-trained, and high morale to defeat the Mongol allied armies such as Tatar and Warat, and they fled in all directions. This may be the first time that the Turkic cavalry in Central Asia has been beaten since "Genghis Khan" led the Mongolian army to the west!

Different from the previous Ming Dynasty infantry relying on "firearms" to defeat the nomadic cavalry but can not be completely annihilated, after all, the two-legged man can not run the four-legged horse, but this time the cold weapon battle between the same nomadic cavalry, the pursuit ability of the "Harle Army" is extremely amazing, after seeing this, it was divided into multiple units to pursue the Mongolian coalition army all the way, and successively fought nine battles and nine victories, and the Mongolian coalition forces such as Tatar and Warat were defeated and lost, which made the Ming army prestige shocked, and Zhu Di moved all over the world.

After this battle, the Tatars, Warat and other Mongolian tribes were forced to surrender, did not dare to start a war again, and the Ming Dynasty also because of the strong cavalry combat power, so that the various tribes on the steppe were afraid of the "Harel Army" like a tiger, since then, the Mongols for a long time, did not dare to covet the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, Zheng He's southern trade to the sea harvested a large amount of silver, which more effectively supported the operation of the national treasury and made the national finances strong. At this time, the Ming Dynasty reached its heyday in advance, and the history recorded: "Those who have been ordered to pay tribute to the dynasty have reached more than 30 countries, and the territory is vast, as far as the Han and Tang Dynasties!" ”

In fact, this is more than 200 years ago, occurred in the early Ming Dynasty in this time and space, although in the passage of time, with the Ming Dynasty bureaucracy and the ruling class gradually corrupt and wiped out, but on the basis of the Han and Tang dynasties, by the dynasty "Taizong" - Emperor Chengzu established the great achievements are still powerful through Danqing, widely spread. Therefore, when the strength of Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen in the last years of the Ming Dynasty reached the level, he naturally did not forget to restore his glory.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen's brothers and their concubines had nothing to do, so they took off the clouds and played around, wanting to see how their army was progressing in Xinjiang in the Western Regions after sweeping the Mongolian steppe in the north? Sure enough, those large and small "Stan Khanates" in Central Asia, when they heard that the "heavenly soldiers" of the imperial court were so large, that most of them took the initiative to join without any resistance. Occasionally, some diehards rallied their accomplices and tried to resist, but they were bloodily suppressed!

"Brother, brothers and sisters, have you seen it? The battle between the mortals below, for us and other 'immortals', is like watching a few more groups of ants fight each other, there is nothing unusual, it is better to go back first, for my brother is like tinkering with some new things. Zhu Youxiao said.

"Oh? Really? Brother Kai must have some good ideas, could it be that he already has a plan? What kind of delicate things are you going to make? ”

"Haha, of course it's better than the legendary 'Wooden Ox Flowing Horse', hehe." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile while stepping into the void, overlooking the earth: "Do you want to know? I won't tell you, hehe. "———— "Giggles, good uncle, don't sell it, our sisters are rare!" ”

"Eh, little sister-in-law, you have all become 'fairies' now, you go out and walk in the clouds, go in the fog, presumably you don't care about the worldly things, don't rush to be a brother." Zhu Youxiao continued to sell Guan Zi and said: "When I go back, I will see this thing in front of the 'Luban Gate', hehe." ”

"Dare to ask my brother, can you reveal your tone? The younger brother is getting more and more interested. ———— "Haha, brother, be your emperor." ”
