Chapter 192: The Fierce Battle on the Prairie (Part I)

In March of the sixteenth year of Shengwu, the Ming Dynasty once again declared war on the Great Liang Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty appointed Wang Jie as the commander of the Western Front to lead the army of more than 300,000 people to attack the Great Liang Kingdom. Chu Yun scolded the three mid-level spirit stone controllers in his hand, the last time they didn't protect them well, they actually made Liu Dongyong seriously injured, this time Chu Yun told the three of them that if they made a mistake again, they wouldn't have to come back. Chu Yun completely suppressed the three people with just his momentum, and the three of them were frightened. Chu Yun injected the three demon source murderous qi into their bodies in person, and the three of them expressed their loyalty one after another. Although there is a strange thing in this world, but to be honest, the divine stone can only allow a martial artist to reach a certain level in a certain aspect. Compared to the variety of martial arts on the Xianwu Continent, it is far worse, after all, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, there will be restraint exercises, you only have one ability, how can you compete with one who knows ten kinds and dozens of kinds?

Da Liang Guo was shocked three times a day, completely messed up into a pot of porridge, this time their ally was one less, in the last year when the Ming Dynasty made a move on Qiu Chi, they betrayed the alliance with Qiu Chi, but they didn't expect that just a few months later, it was their turn to do it to themselves.

"How did it become like this?" The national leader of the Great Liang Kingdom really couldn't understand what he had done wrong, and the Great Liang Kingdom was on the verge of extinction in his hands.

Under the looting and suppression of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, although Zhang Jun tried his best to maintain it, the national strength of the Great Liang State was still declining, and most of the Qianghu who were attached to them moved north to the grassland, abandoning the Great Liang, and the northwest hegemony that the previous generations of the Great Liang State had managed to maintain began to wither.

The suppression of the Ming Dynasty was only one aspect, and Lu Zhong's first attack on the Great Liang Kingdom was also an important factor, even a decisive factor. Don't look at the last time the Great Liang Kingdom wiped out more than 100,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, but the losses of the Great Liang Kingdom also reached 60,000 or 70,000 people, the two Xianbei lost 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the Qianghu lost more than 80,000 people, and the death ratio of the two sides reached 1 to 2. This is still the Great Liang Kingdom won, this time the Ming Dynasty sent more than 300,000 people, more troops than the last time, and the coach is the Ming Dynasty's best general Wang Jie, who was the best at leading the troops, he set up a great reputation in Youzhou that year, and the Great Zhao and other countries lost hundreds of thousands of troops, all of which were Wang Jie's achievements. Therefore, in the face of such a ruthless person and such a difficult army, Da Liang and his allies were frightened, these 300,000 people, will they have to die another 600,000?

Now that the Great Liang Kingdom has not recovered, the Ming Dynasty will attack again, although there is still a part of the Qianghu and the bald Xianbei and the beggar Xianbei to help, but Zhang Jun and the defeat of the Ming Dynasty is desperate.

This is not that Zhang Jun is greedy for life and afraid of death, after all, Zhang Jun is the monarch who brought the Great Liang Kingdom into its heyday in history, and his talent is undoubted, but this time there is really no hope for the difficulties of Daliang at home and abroad. The 500,000 army of the Great Liang State back then, plus hundreds of thousands of Qianghu vassals, nearly a million troops, now there are less than 300,000 people left, and there are nearly half of the Qianghu who have been frightened, and the Great Liang Kingdom still maintains the stability of Dunhuang County, that is, the Western Regions, after all, this is their last retreat, so what can be taken out is more than 100,000 people. And the beggar Xianbei and the bald Xianbei were also hesitant to ask for help from the Great Liang Kingdom, and they did not directly agree. More than 100,000 remnants of the remnants of the army of more than 300,000 Ming Dynasty were in full swing, and there was no hope no matter how you looked at it.

Before that, a large-scale melee had erupted on the grassland, and the three forces of the two ethnic groups of Xianbei and Rouran united to launch an army of more than 300,000 people, known as one million, to attack the ironcore allies of the Ming Dynasty, the Xia State Tiefu people.

Although before the war, the news of the Ming Dynasty was passed to Liu Zhili and Liu Qiandidai of the Xia State, but it was too late, Tiefu was forced to engage in the battle without having time to gather manpower, and as a result, three battles and three defeats, more than 30,000 dead and wounded troops, and 100,000 women and children were captured, Tiefu lost one-third of the army and a quarter of the population in just half a month.

The two supreme rulers of Tiefu were simply terrified, if it weren't for the fact that the enemy did not accept surrender at all and shouted the slogan of exterminating Tiefu, they would have wanted to surrender. They had no power to fight back at all, so the two of them discussed preparing to retreat and merge the state, relying on the strong city of the Ming Dynasty to resist. But just as they were about to retreat south, they received news that Chu Yun, the emperor of the Ming Empire, would personally lead 100,000 iron-blooded Praetorian Guards to aid Tie Fu, and Tie Fu was shocked.

Chu Yun is known as the undefeated god of war, and he has basically never failed in battles in his life, not only the protector of the Ming Dynasty, but also the demon king who makes the heroes tremble. Tiefu's morale was greatly boosted when he got the news, and he was in a stalemate with the more than 300,000 troops of the three forces on the grassland, I have to say that this is really a miracle.

In the middle of April of the sixteenth year of Shengwu, Chu Yun led 100,000 iron-blooded Praetorian Guards to the grassland, and the iron-blooded Praetorian Guards who had long been suffocated were murderous, in recent years, Chu Yun rarely directly commanded the battle, and the Iron-blooded Praetorian Guard, as Chu Yun's descendant forbidden army, did not have much chance to dispatch at all, and could only dispatch a small part to protect some generals, for example, when they destroyed Qiu Chi, they dispatched 20,000 people. But this is not at all enjoyable for the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guard, which has an army of 150,000 men. They were originally the best troops of the Ming Dynasty, and only on the battlefield could they show the value of their existence. And now their gods, their majesty, are finally going to take them into battle to kill the enemy.

After Chu Yun led the troops to leave, the cabinet and the Privy Council knew that Chu Yun had actually sent troops, and they immediately panicked, Chu Yun left too hastily, no one knew before, and now he actually led the troops directly. You must know that Chu Yun is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty, if something happens, they don't dare to think about what the result will be.

Shoufu Ma Liang immediately summoned several important ministers, although they didn't dare to complain, but they must have complained about Chu Yun in their hearts. But they didn't dare not listen to Chu Yun's decision, besides, Chu Yun had already left, and they couldn't stop it if they wanted to, so they could only try their best to make up for it now.

The Ming Dynasty deployed more than 300,000 troops in Liangzhou, including 100,000 people from the Zhenxi Army and the Zhengxi Army, and 150,000 from the front camp of the Ming Dynasty, the rear camp of the Forbidden Army and the Middle Camp Forbidden Army, plus 30,000 infantry of the Iron and Blood Janissary Army, that is, the Modao soldiers, and 30,000 Northwest Army, a total of 310,000 troops.

In the south, 100,000 people were arranged, that is, the Zhennan Army and the Zhengnan Army, and 100,000 people defended the Great Jin. In the east, there are the Zhengdong Army, the Zhendong Army and the Zuoying Forbidden Army that has just been transferred, they have just destroyed Qiuchi, and they have been transferred to Silizhou on the one hand to strengthen the defense, and on the other hand, it is to repair.

In addition to the Zhenbei Army and the Zhengbei Army, there are also the Right Camp Forbidden Army, the Northeast Army, and the Southeast Army, a total of 210,000 troops. However, their pressure was also great, and Da Zhao and Da Yan deployed more than 200,000 troops on the border of Bingzhou.

Therefore, the cabinet and the Privy Council found that the Ming Dynasty now had no soldiers available, and Chang'an only had 20,000 iron-blooded Praetorian Guards to defend them, and they were only infantry, even if they were mobilized to support Chu Yun, when they arrived, it was estimated that the daylilies would be cold, and they did not dare to let Chang'an have no soldiers available.

They could only send a letter to Xie Ai in the name of the Cabinet and the Privy Council, asking him to ensure Chu Yun's safety, but Xie Ai had already accepted Chu Yun's order to hold the annex and not allow him to support. Xie Aike is Chu Yun's hardcore confidant, and his trust in Chu Yun is blind, so the orders of the cabinet and the Privy Council are of no use to him at all.

Since it is not possible to increase the troops, then they can mobilize grain and grass, but on the contrary, the grain and grass hoarded by the Ming Dynasty in Bingzhou is enough for 200,000 troops to consume for a year or two, so there is no need for them to transport grain and grass to Chu Yun.

Chu Yuncai didn't care what they thought, Chu Yun was in a happy mood riding a handsome black horse that had already entered his twilight years on the grassland, surrounded by energetic soldiers, the sky was blue sky, and the endless prairie, Chu Yun couldn't help but think of the days of the boundless grassland of the Xianwu Continent, and he didn't know what happened to the county lord of Minmin, his days in the boundless grassland were still very pleasant. In particular, the power of the bloodline can be combined with the God of War Technique, and the power is doubled, but this body can't use the power of the bloodline, I don't know if the power of returning to the Xianwu Continent and combining these two secret methods can destroy the world and destroy the world, thinking about this, Chu Yun really can't wait to go back quickly, but this world also has its own fetters.

"Follow me. Chu Yun quickly put these behind, because they had already made a detour to the right side of the 60,000-strong army of the bald Xianbei under the intelligence of the Supervision Division and the Jinyi Guard. Chu Yun was not prepared to use his martial arts to change the situation of the battle, otherwise he would be able to grind tens of thousands of troops to death alone, or even hundreds of thousands of troops. But he was ready to enjoy the pleasures of the battlefield and was not prepared to rely too much on his own force, he had confidence in the Iron Guard. It's really not good, and there's nothing to lose by doing it yourself.

The battle formations of Rouran, Daiguo Tuoba Xianbei and Bald Xianbei are in the shape of a zigzag, about ten miles apart, and it can be seen that they are not so harmonious with each other, and they are all guarding against each other. The bald Xianbei was in the lower left corner of the zigzag, and they took turns attacking Tiefu's defenses, and Tiefu relied on the rejecting horse deer he had learned from the Han to resist their attacks. Thanks to Liu Dog's greed for enjoyment, he built a fixed national capital like a township on the grassland, and the name is called Xia City, which means the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom. The houses there were made of stone and earth, and there was a lot of food stored, so that Tefer was able to rely on the capital for two months.

Now it was Daiguo attacking Tiefu, and the other two forces were recuperating behind them, and Da Ming chose the weakest bald Xianbei to attack. The bald Xianbei was divided into two, one part stayed in the Great Liang Kingdom, and the other part flowed to the grassland and joined forces with Dairan and Dairan. They were also the weakest, so they sent the least troops, only 60,000 men, but this was already all their strength. Once these 60,000 cavalry are wiped out, this bald Xianbei will also mean destruction. The forces on the grassland, every tribe and man are dead, and there is absolutely no dregs left that will be swallowed by people.

When the sun, moon and star banner of the Ming Dynasty and the five-clawed golden dragon banner representing the Ming Emperor appeared in the sight of the bald Xianbei cavalry, it was already too late, and the iron-blooded Praetorian Guards were one person and three horsemen, carrying crossbows, strong bows, explosive rockets, submachine spears, iron shields, waist knives and other materials, they had already been dressed neatly, and the iron-blooded Praetorian Guards came to their camp like the wind.

At this time, the leader of the bald Xianbei Kuragi Wuer did not have time to gather the army, and the gallop of 100,000 cavalry plunged the entire bald Xianbei into chaos, and Kuraki Wuer's order had no chance to be issued.

100,000 explosive rockets covered the Xianbei camp, and all the tents that were not fireproof were set on fire, and the violent explosions and horse riots made the entire Xianbei camp even worse and chaotic.

The 100,000 Iron-Blooded Praetorian Guard Regiment surrounded the bald Xianbei battalion, and the second round of rockets was fired, and the entire battalion became a sea of fire. Tens of thousands of people scattered and fled, there was no formation at all, the crossbows of the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guard began to wield, these people just got out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den, the cavalry without a little defense, on the unsheltered grassland, fell in pieces, and the remaining cavalry survived on the corpses of their companions.

After several rounds of crossbows, the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guards all abandoned their crossbows and guns, and killed the remnants of the enemy who saw that Da Ming stopped the crossbow arrows and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, 100,000 Iron and Blood Praetorian Guards were equivalent to 100,000 heavy cavalry, and the enemy was surrounded in the encirclement, and there was no room for movement at all, and the result can be imagined. When a round of charge, the remaining more than 20,000 people were almost all killed, some of the Ming soldiers wore several corpses on their spears, and many bald Xianbei cavalry trampled into meat mud, it is estimated that next year, the grass of this grassland must be more lush.

In just two hours, the 60,000 unprepared bald Xianbei cavalry were almost wiped out, and only a few lucky ones escaped from life, but their army had been wiped out, and these individual cavalry would definitely become the trophies of the small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland.

At this time, Rouran's 120,000 army and the Tuoba Xianbei army that was attacking Tiefu received the news, and the first reaction of Rouran's army was to bring troops to support, they were originally Shenghu, and they looked down on the Han people at all, in their opinion, only the warriors on the grassland were the best warriors in the world, and all the rest of the nationalities would be their slaves. Including the defeated Xianbei people, if they didn't need news of the Xianbei people, they were all ready to annex the Xianbei people first. As for the life or death of the bald Xianbei, they don't care, they already know that the Ming Dynasty is the number one power in the Central Plains, and their commander is ready to establish their soft reputation on the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Rouran's plan was to annex Tuoba Xianbei and Bald Xianbei together after destroying Tiefu, so Bald Xianbei was destroyed, and they still felt that Daming was helping them.

Unlike Rouran, who immediately sent troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Tuoba Xianbei's commander and the son of Tuoba Shiyigan, the acting king Tuoba Shiyigan, ended it immediately, and was about to win the battle, leading an army of more than 100,000 troops to retreat for twenty miles before stopping.

Of course, the fear of the Ming army is one aspect, after all, their country can be said to have been defeated by the Ming Dynasty and withdrew from the Central Plains, but on the other hand, Tuoba Weijun is also to protect Tuoba Xianbei's last bit of strength. The lord of the grassland who dominated the north back then, defeated the super power of the Xiongnu and Han several times, and the giant with a total strength of nearly one million and completely declined, these 120,000 people are their last foundation.

How could they not know that uniting with the nation of Rouran is to seek skin with the tiger, but if they want to develop and rebuild their glory, they can only rely on external forces, and the two countries of Dazhao and Dayan have abandoned them, and they can only borrow Rouran, the new overlord of the northern grasslands. However, Tuoba Yujun was very wary of Rouran, so after hearing that Da Ming appeared, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield and then looked for fighters. If Da Ming appears to be in decline, they will definitely pounce on it and bite off a piece of Da Ming's flesh. If the Ming Dynasty wins, then Rouran's life and death have a relationship with them, and it is just right to die. They had long been dissatisfied with the gentle treatment of them as servants. Moreover, Tuoba Yujun knew that Rouran still had three or four hundred thousand troops, and if they were defeated, then they would not give up, and they would definitely seek revenge from Daming. This is their chance, maybe if it works well, they will be able to enter the Central Plains again.

Tuoba Yujun is a very ambitious person, in history, in order to gain power, he killed his father Tuoba Shiyigan, which shows his boldness, but such a careless enemy is also the most terrifying.

"Report to the Prime Minister that the bald department has been wiped out. Before I got the news, Rouran was only a few miles away from the Ming army, and it is estimated that they have met now. And I met a deserter from the Sudden Tribe, and he told me that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had also come. Tuoba Yujun was shocked when he heard the news, he didn't expect that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would also be here, if he could capture or kill the emperor of the Ming Dynasty alive, then the Ming Dynasty would definitely collapse, wouldn't they have a chance at that time?

"Revisit. However, Tuoba Yujun did not immediately wave his troops, and he needed to wait for Da Ming and Rou Ran to fight before deciding whether to participate in the war.

Outside the remnants of the bald and humble camp, the Ming Iron-Blooded Praetorian Guard has been encamped, and the Iron-Blooded Praetorian Guard has been attacking day after day, eight hundred miles a day, although the soldiers of the Iron-blooded Praetorian Guard are the most elite, and they are also one person and three horsemen. But they are all living people, not robots, and after a big war, they will still be tired. Although Chu Yun wanted to deal with the enemy as soon as possible, he would not take any risks.

At the time of Rouran's arrival, the Iron Guard had begun to dig trenches, and a strong battalion was nearing completion. Chu Yun was ready to rely on the large battalion to wear down the fighting spirit and physical strength of the Rouran cavalry, and then wait for the iron-blooded Praetorian Guard to rest for a while before launching a counterattack.

Half of the Iron and Blood Praetorian Guards had already begun to rest, they did not worry about their safety and slept soundly, they believed that under the leadership of His Majesty, the remaining half of the brothers would never let them fall into danger, this was their absolute trust in Chu Yun and the brothers in the army.

"Come on, put the body of the bald Xianbei leader in front of the camp, and let the grassland people see the fate of opposing our Ming Dynasty. Chu Yun commanded, and the Iron-Blooded Praetorian Guard cheered and moved.

When the Rouran cavalry arrived, they saw this scene, and a strong camp composed of trenches and horses made the Rouran people who were all cavalry dumbfounded. They lived in the steppe, and when had they ever seen such a camp, they were cavalry, cavalry, and cavalry, and they had never seen such a camp except for the attack on Tiefu's capital during this time.

"It can't be the bald leader, right?" someone shouted, pointing to the corpse in front of the camp, and everyone looked over.

"The Han people are all cowards, defeating the Xianbei people like bugs can't make us afraid at all, the Han people don't do it, we will kill them, the Xianbei people don't deserve to be our friends at all, let everyone see the bravery of our Rouran warriors, and the warriors will level them for me. The leader of Rouran pointed at the whip, and 50,000 Rouran horses roared and launched the first wave of attacks.
