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.

There was no need for Li Wenzhong's order, and some standard-bearers had already waved the red battle flag. The Ming army Dazhai for a time the sound of artillery rumbling gunsmoke, hundreds of artillery in turn fire, only to see the Yuan cavalry in the distance in the roar of a burst of fire, in an instant is the people on their backs to turn over the heavy casualties.

Such a fierce artillery bombardment did not resist the offensive of the Yuan cavalry in the slightest. When the cannon fire did not stop, the Yuan cavalry had rushed to the land of Baizhang. The Ming army standard-bearer waved the battle flag again, and there were countless arrows stretched out at the fence of the Ming army's Dazhai, and the Ming army crossbowmen in the fence opened their bows and arrows and waited for orders.

More than a dozen soldiers on the lookout held round shields in front of Li Wenzhong and Tang He, and Li Wenzhong said: "The armor of the Yuan soldiers is abnormally strong, and our crossbow arrows have little effect. Tang He nodded and said: "In this way, we still need to think of a good strategy, if we fight hard, I am afraid that both sides will lose." ”

Sure enough, a round of arrow rain was shot, and it was like an itch in the boots for the Yuan soldiers. In a burst of eager war drums, 20,000 Ming elite cavalry rushed down the slope from the north and south gates, and for a time the sound of hooves rumbled and the sword was shining. The cavalry of the two sides collided fiercely like two torrents, the Yuan cavalry was at best 8,000, but the Ming army was 20,000. With such a huge disparity in strength, it is actually evenly matched.

The two pairs of men and horses were strangled in one place, and for a time the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of weapons and the neighing of war horses resounded through the world, and the Ming army camp once again rushed out to kill 20,000 foot soldiers, which was all Li Wenzhong's troops.

Looking at the Yuan soldiers who were slowly crossing the river, Tang He smiled coldly. Then he said: "Wait for me to send two cavalry to flank the left and right, and give the enemy reinforcements a severe blow before they arrive." As he spoke, he looked back at Pang Heihu under the lookout and shouted, "You and Meng Qi each bring 10,000 elite cavalry to the battle, don't defeat the enemy before the arrival of the Yuan soldiers." Pang Heihu gave up his orders and turned around to prepare the military horses, and for a time the Ming army was busy. Although it was Tang He's temporary intention, but in just a short tea, Pang Heihu and Tang He's general Meng Qi took 20,000 cavalry out of Dazhai and went straight to the battlefield.
