Now in the east of Lanzhou to block the expansion of Timur is the general Li Wenzhong's 50,000 horses, according to the report of the two sides of the two sides of the battle is extremely tragic. Li Wenzhong's 50,000 men and horses have been two out of ten in just half a month, and they are now guarding the area of the Guanchuan River.

Xu Da advised: "Go to Lanzhou, join up with Li Wenzhong's men and horses, only defend and not attack, and if there is an accident, retreat to the area of Liupan Mountain east of the Hulu River." If the Yuan soldiers rushed through Liupan Mountain, then our army would inevitably suffer from the enemy on their backs, and major events would be carried out. ”

Tang He took the order, turned around and left with the pioneer Pang Heihu, and Xu Da led the generals to personally send them outside the big tent. Outside the camp tent, the pennant waved the war horses and neighed lightly, and the 50,000 armor soldiers were already ready to go.

Tang He came to the front of the army, turned over the saddle and got on the horse, and bowed his hand to Xu Da and the generals: "Tang He is gone!" Xu Da and the generals returned the salute one after another. Tang He rode his horse and whipped his whip, and 50,000 horse infantry troops followed closely behind, and the brigade of men and horses raised all the way to the west. Da Kui led more than 100 soldiers to follow behind the team with hundreds of carts, and when he left the village, Da Kui waved his hand to Xu Da and other generals, Xu Da just smiled slightly, and all the generals loved to ignore it.

As a result, Da Qui suddenly felt bored. I think that when I was the political envoy of Jiangnan Tong, I married Huang Ying. Many people here have also drunk together, and now they are the captains of the gang, and they are so indifferent, and the world is really cold.

The convoy was drawn by mules and donkeys, so it moved more slowly than the army. Now Li Wenzhong's troops are holding on to Timur for half a month near the left of Lanzhou, presumably there is not much grain and grass, so the army allocated grain and grass to set off with Tang and the army. Although the grain and grass team fell behind the line, it was still guarded by 2,000 cavalry.

Lao Huo drove the car, Da Kui sat on the side, holding two large dishes in his left hand and a piece of big meat in his right hand. It's a pity that it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the soup and the army, otherwise there will be two more mouthfuls of burning knives in the stomach, which will be called a beauty. The cavalry on both sides looked at Da Kui's all-you-go-it, not only a little envious. Going to Lanzhou here is tantamount to going to danger, but I don't know why this group of captains is so leisurely and eats so happily?

After nearly half a month, the team crossed the Hulu River near the Shifjord east of the Guanchuan River, where General Li Wenzhong was encamped. The camp is left in the north and south, winding for dozens of miles. Although the battle line is long, it is on a long slope. The long slope of the river beach was still several miles away, and the Yuan soldiers camped on the other side of the Guanchuan River. If it was a strong attack, the Yuan soldiers would inevitably cross the river first, but Li Wenzhong could lead his troops to attack the Yuan soldiers before they crossed the river.

Xiao is like this, Li Wenzhong's subordinates also suffered heavy losses, but the Yuan soldiers' cavalry and archery skills are better than those of the Ming army. Whenever a soldier comes to attack, it must be a cavalry as the vanguard. The crossing of the river was a rain of arrows, with several volleys fired by both sides, and then they engaged in hand-to-hand combat. It was the advantage of the Ming army, but under the cavalry of the Yuan soldiers, it was a defeat for both sides.

Looking at the tidal flats, corpses were strewn all over the field and rivers of blood flowed. Xiao is like this, the Yuan soldiers have to launch several charges every day, regardless of casualties. Tang He and Li Wenzhong stood side by side on the lookout, looking at the winding river beach.

"General Tang, the Yuan soldiers' offensive is so fierce, I'm afraid that my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be exhausted before January, fortunately, General Tang came to reinforce, Wen Zhong is here to thank you. What Li Wenzhong said was heartfelt.

Tang He Zhengse said: "You and I both work for the Ming Dynasty, why did Wen Zhong say this?"

Li Wenzhong was the nephew of Emperor Taizu, and his life was quite miserable, and Taizu adopted him as an adopted son when he was a teenager. The army called him the prince, but Tang and Zhao Wenzhong were the only ones who seemed close.

Li Wenzhong looked at the Guanchuan River: "Now on the west bank of the Guanchuan River, it is Hu Linchi, the general under Timur of the expansion of the river. ”

"Oh, but I don't know how many people there are in the Yuan soldiers?" Tang He looked far away, but asked.

Li Wenzhong said: "According to the report of Tanmalay, Hulin Chisuo led more than 50,000 elite soldiers, followed by the expansion of Timur's 100,000 troops. ”

Tang He smiled lightly and said: "Now that Li Siqi is stationed in Lanzhou, and Timur has passed through the door without entering, it seems that the two of them still have a suspicion. If Timur were to attack with all his might, it would be difficult for us to resist. ”

"In this way, Timur is not in a hurry to relieve Zhang Liangchen?" Li Wenzhong was a little confused.

"Hehehe, over the years, Timur and Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi have attacked each other, and now the Yuan Court has exhausted its qi, and the three of them have seized the city in vain to survive, so what is the alliance?" Tang He couldn't help laughing and said: "In this way, the marshal has achieved great things." ”

At this moment, a horn sounded on the other side of the river. In the sound of 'woo', a black pressure appeared on the high slope on the opposite bank. The Yuan army was stationed behind the high slope on the other side of the river, but it could block the sight of the Ming army, so that the Ming army could not see the reality and the truth, which was also the advantage of the enemy generals.

Li Wenzhong stared at the other side and said slowly: "Today is the last charge of the Yuan soldiers, and the offensive will be terminated before the sun sets. Li Wenzhong said and pointed to Qianyao: "General Tang, please look, the elite cavalry in the Yuan army at the head of the queue is well-equipped, and the soldiers on the horses and horses are all guarded by iron armor, and the swords and guns cannot be injured. ”

Tang He just nodded, and Li Wenzhong said again: "Behind are the sword and shield soldiers, and the covering pikemen are behind." Whether it is a forced crossing to seize the beach or a land operation, its queue is very tight. ”

The two of them watched as the soldiers began to cross the river before they reached the riverbank, and the river was not deep enough to reach the belly of the horse. Then I saw that there were thousands of soldiers in the rear of the Yuan army, pushing more than 100 artillery pieces and erecting them on the opposite bank. The purpose was obvious, to take advantage of the crossing of the river and cover it with artillery. In this way, if the Ming army wanted to attack and kill the Yuan soldiers when they crossed the river, they would pay the price of blood.

The war drums sounded, and the Ming army opened a walled gate in the north and south, and there were 10,000 elite horsemen in each of the two walled gates. On the other side of the river, the horn was urgent, and the soldiers were stepping up to cross the river, and the Ming army did not move at this moment. Slowly thousands of cavalry reached the shore, and then about 20,000 swordmen, shieldmen, and pikemen also crossed the river.

After half a month of bloody battles, both sides have gained experience. In front of the Ming army is a buffer zone, once the Yuan army enters the range of the Ming army's artillery, it is the time of war. The Yuan army was in front of the tidal flats, and the neat three phalanxes were arranged in a zigzag shape. The cavalry was in front, and there was a 10,000-man square on the left and right to protect the flanks.

'Boom' a cannon sounded, and nearly 30,000 soldiers shouted and launched a charge against the Ming army's Dazhai.

Li Wenzhong looked coldly at the rushing Yuan soldiers and said to Tang He: "This is the army of the Yuan soldiers who dare to die, once it rushes into the place in front of the military tent, there will be a large army to cross the river in the future." Life and death are all in a hundred feet. Tang He didn't say anything, but just stood on the watchtower with Li Wenzhong to watch the battle.

The Yuan soldiers rushed extremely fiercely, and the cavalry raised a cloud of sand and dust in front of them, and half of them had been rushed in an instant in just five miles. After another tea time, the Yuan cavalry had rushed to the place of two arrows in front of Dazhai.
