Chapter 123 is stale

At that time, Zhu Di and Lan Yu were in charge of half of the northern defense of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang intended to let the two contain each other to consolidate the control of the central government over the border army, so the two sides have always been in constant friction. Later, the crown prince Zhu Biao died of illness, and Zhu Yuanzhang established Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, and Zhu Di, who was known for his ambition, kept a close eye on Lan Yu, because Lan Yu, who had heavy troops, could be said to be Zhu Yunwen's most powerful foreign aid. Here we can't fail to mention the relationship between Zhu Yunwen and Lan Yu, Lan Yu is the brother-in-law of the founding general Chang Yuchun, and the prince Zhu Biao is Chang Yuchun's son-in-law, so Lan Yu and the prince Zhu Biao are also relatives, and the two are extremely friendly; Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yunwen not only inherited the position of Zhu Biao's crown prince, but also inherited the social relations left by his Lao Tzu, and the ambitious Zhu Di naturally regarded Lan Yu as a mortal enemy, so Zhu Di added fuel to the fire in the famous Lan Yu rebellion case in the Ming Dynasty, and gave Lan Yu the most fatal knife, which laid a solid foundation for his rebellion today。

Zhu Neng, as Zhu Di's confidant, naturally knows these old things, but he also knows that he can't offend Liu Ziming now, but he refuses to weaken his momentum, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Liu Ziming coldly and said: "There will be a chance, and I Zhu Neng will definitely accompany me then." ”

Liu Ziming didn't pay attention to Zhu Neng's rhetoric at all, and he didn't bother to say more to him, so he immediately turned to Mitu who was standing in front of the horse formation, and said with a smile: "Mitu Xian Brother is the first to capture the enemy chieftain, are you interested in killing me?"

Mitu had already seen the discordant atmosphere between Liu Ziming and Zhu Neng, but he and the people of the Yan Wang family could now be said to be friends and foes, so he didn't even look at Zhu Neng, threw the Mongolian Wanhu in his hand to the horse, and said with a smile: "Killing Tartars is a quick thing, brother has a reason to excuse himself, although Brother Ziming commands." ”

Liu Ziming laughed when he heard this, ordered several guards to escort away the Mongol households, and then raised his hands and shouted to his subordinates who had already completed the whole team: "Brothers, kill the Tartars! ”

The morale of the Lan family army had just been boosted after a great victory, and at this time, where was there any need to boost morale, so they immediately raised the blades in their hands high and shouted in unison: "Kill the Tartars! Drive them back to Grandma's house!"

Liu Ziming was very satisfied with the performance of his subordinates, waved his big hand down, and ordered loudly: "Go, kill the Tartars!"

For a while, the sound of horses' hooves roared, shaking the heavens and the earth again, and thousands of war horses rolled up countless wind and dust and rushed towards the distance like lightning.

Although Zhu Neng was very angry at Liu Ziming's rudeness, he had nothing to do, in fact, what he was most worried about at this time was the main force of the Yan army commanded by Zhu Di, and he didn't know if Zhu Di had withstood the surprise attack of the main Mongolian force at this time. Now seeing Liu Ziming leading his troops in the direction of the main forces of both sides, he also hurriedly ordered his troops to follow behind the Lan Jiajun to help Zhu Di.

Zhu Di fell into a bitter battle.

The 17,000 Mongol cavalry rushed closely behind the herald like a huge wave, leaving him little time to prepare, and the forward battalions were drowned by the wave of Mongol cavalry before they could even expand their formation.

Under the military emergency, Zhu Di did not panic at all, showing his outstanding military command skills. He gave an order, and the second son Zhu Gaoxu led 5,000 guards cavalry to launch a decisive counter-charge against the Mongols, and soon the cavalry of the two armies strangled together, and the offensive of the Mongolian cavalry was blocked, which won Zhu Di precious respite.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has fought with Mongolia for many years, not only is he extremely familiar with the Mongolian cavalry tactics, but he also has no shortage of cavalry who can fight habitually, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have won many northern expeditions. From the Ming military system, there are not only a large number of military households, but also a large number of horse households, which can be seen, the so-called horse households are for the imperial court to raise war horses. The land of Yan Zhao is even more so as the northern town of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Di's army led by Daning will naturally not be short of cavalry; plus Zhu Di has just annexed the Liaodong Army, there will be no shortage of war horses in the army, so Zhu Di's Chinese army will have so many cavalry.

At this time, Zhu Di took advantage of the precious time gained by the cavalry to gather the rout, and at the same time nearly 10,000 infantry lined up in three phalanxes in the shape of an inverted zigzag, each 80 paces apart as a cavalry passage, and the recess of the formation was facing the Mongol cavalry. As soon as the formation was formed, Zhu Di immediately ordered the cavalry that had fallen into a bitter battle to retreat to the rear of the formation, while the large infantry formation slowly met the Mongolian cavalry.

Where were the Mongolian cavalry willing to let go of Zhu Gaoxu, who had been fighting with them for a long time, and as soon as they saw Zhu Gaochu retreating, they immediately rushed towards the Ming army like a wave. But as soon as he approached the place of the big array, a rain of arrows immediately shot out of the two phalanxes in front of the Ming army's big array. In an instant, the left and right flanks of the Mongolian cavalry were immediately put into pieces, and the sound of people shouting and neighing of horses sounded, and the momentum was also paused, and the distance from the center of the main formation was suddenly widened.

The most pitiful thing was the center of the Mongolian cavalry, which couldn't help but fall into the recess of the Ming army's large array because of the excessive momentum.

The rear of the Ming army has been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the Mongolian cavalry, they immediately desperately went up, blocking the way of the Mongolian cavalry, and the more dense arrow feathers in the formation flew out like a storm, and in an instant, the Mongolian cavalry center of the middle plan shot a person on his back.

When the Mongol cavalry saw the plan, they hurriedly retreated, but where was it so easy. The Ming army came out in two formations, and at this time, they had already turned their heads and squeezed together in the middle. First a volley of bows and arrows, followed by a forest of spears, in the blink of an eye, the Mongol cavalry was killed, and the corpses were piled up like a wall.

As soon as the two wings of the Mongols saw that the center was trapped in the Ming army, they did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly urged the horses to rush again, wanting to rescue the center. At this time, Zhu Gaoxu rushed out from the rear of the large array and dragged the two wings of the Mongolian cavalry.

Although Zhu Gaoxu is a prince, he is also a ruthless character who has been fighting for many years with his father Zhu Di. In the confrontation just now, the 5,000 cavalry led by him fell more than 2,000 people in the blink of an eye, and it can be said that nearly half of them were lost. At this time, he was even more red-eyed, although the cavalry he led was at an absolute disadvantage, but still fought to the death, and he himself personally led hundreds of elite guards to clash left and right in the Mongolian cavalry formation, although he was wounded several times, he was still the leader. Seeing that the prince was so desperate, there was still a reason to spare his life, and they were all desperately fighting forward, and for a time they actually messed up the two wings of the Mongolian cavalry with absolute superiority, and they were even more powerless to rescue the center.

For a while, the two armies were strangled together, but you had me, I had you, and the dogs and teeth were staggered and killed.

More than 30,000 men and horses were overwhelmed with dust, and the sound of shouting and killing, neighing horses, howling miserably, and the sound of weapons crashing and breaking were earth-shattering.

The autumn wind is bleak, taking away endless blood, and countless undead are scattered in this wasteland...... (To be continued.) )
