Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 120 Not Strong enough
Zhu Xiongying's general flag fluttered in the wind, and Zhu Xiongying, with gold armor and silver gun, rode his horse galloping, looking like a young hero!

Looking at the yurt in the distance, the beautiful scene of seeing cattle and sheep under the wind and grass will soon be shattered.Because Zhu Xiongying just raised his hand, the soldiers under his hands were already gearing up, ready to start the crusade against Buchen.

The singing and dancing were gone, and now only the panic of this small tribe was left. Seeing the Ming cavalry rushing towards them suddenly, these grassland tribes didn't even dare to put up too much resistance.The main reason is that the gap in strength is too great, so they can only surrender.

Zhu Xiongying, who was a bit depressed, sat on the horseback, looked at the young women and children, and shook his head.

These are the characteristics of some nomadic peoples. The living environment is harsh and the jungle preys on the strong. They are used to being conquered, or to conquer.They were the most ferocious wolves if they had been beaten, they could be said to be inhumane.But if you can't beat them, you kneel down and surrender. According to their rules, you can survive.

Looking back, Zhu Xiongying said to Feng Sheng, "Registration and registration, women and children are scattered into military households, and they are given to my Huangming to raise horses. Bring back all young and strong, and see where they are distributed!" "

As Zhu Xiongying's brother-in-law, Feng Sheng immediately nodded and accepted the order, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xiongying led a large army to continue to search for some small tribes. In recent years, the strength of the Ming Dynasty and the internal struggle of the nomads also allowed Zhu Xiongying to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and bully the weak.

Song Zhong's Jinyiwei, or some "imperial merchants" also brought some good news, and inquired about the situation of many Mongolian tribes.This also made Zhu Xiongying not need to lead troops to rush around like headless chickens, but to attack in a targeted manner.

All the population was looted back, and materials such as cattle, sheep and horses were naturally indispensable. These were very important spoils of war.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was full of ambition, a scout horse came to report, "His Royal Highness, the pseudo-Yuan Khan Boer Jijin Elebok sent an army to attack!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, this Borjijin Eleboke is the current Great Khan, and his Khan name is Nigule Sukeqi Khan.His identity is also quite special. Back then, Sapphire won a big victory in fishing in Yuerhai, which resulted in the killing of Eleboke's father and elder brother Tianbaonu, who was captured by Ming Dynasty and is now a savage in Ryukyu.

This Erlebok inherits the Khan position, his identity is quite special, and Zhu Xiongying is not sure now.

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and then asked, "Oh? Dajun, which one is it?"

Tan Ma replied, "It seems to be from the Warachoros Department!"

Li Jinglong immediately said at this time, "Your Highness, Haohai Dayu, the lord of Navala Choros Department, is treacherous and a courtier!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded, and said with a smile, "I don't care if a courtier is not a courtier. It's a good thing that this person is a courtier. I've heard that Eleboke is unconscious and heartless. Let them continue the civil strife."

Even though he said so, Zhu Xiongying still ordered, "Order, all the ministries must gather and do not come into contact with the puppet Yuan army."

Zhu Xiongying naturally knows that the strength of the current Mongolian tribes is average, and this is no longer the Mongolian iron cavalry that traverses the world.But for the strength of these people, Zhu Xiongying is quite jealous, as long as they are given some time, the people on horseback will always be a danger to Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiongying didn't want the patrol led by him to be a defeated battle. Daming hadn't lost a battle for many years, so Zhu Xiongying naturally didn't want him to initiate this.

What's more, there are emperor uncles, once these emperor uncles have a mistake, Zhu Xiongying will not need to lose his life because of it.However, this kind of thing can be avoided as long as it can be avoided. He doesn't want Lao Zhu to be sad, and he doesn't want the Mongolian tribes to show their momentum.

Becoming an invincible Ming Dynasty made some surrounding tribes and countries naturally fear him. Zhu Xiongying felt that such a thing could happen.

Fu Youde also stood up at this time. Although he knew that the current emperor's grandson focused on cultivating Xu Yungong and others, Fu Youde was quite confident about his status. He could definitely be regarded as the number one general under the emperor's grandson's account.

Instead of commanding blindly, Zhu Xiongying just sat in the middle army, watching Fu Youde commanding and dispatching, and watching Daming's army quickly gather and prepare for battle.

Fu Youde also became excited. In the early years of Hongwu, he went north with Xu Da.He once launched an attack with fifty cavalry when Wang Baobao, the guard general of Taiyuan Yuan, led ten thousand cavalry to help, and then attacked at night, and Wang Baobao fled in a hurry. Fu Youde won countless!

Zhu Xiongying just watched, standing under Shuai's banner, holding the scabbard in his hand, his eyes were calm.And behind him are his uncles, who are also accompanying Zhu Xiongying to supervise the battle at the moment.

With a wave of Li Jinglong's hand, the gunners of the Shenji Camp began to line up. The first row squatted down, the second row stood up, and the third row was already filling ammunition.At this time, several small bronze cannons were launched, and the muzzles were aimed at the Mongolian cavalry who had already started to line up to charge.

This is an 'encounter battle', and it is obvious that Bei Yuan is also driven to a desperate situation, mainly because they have been driven to a wild land these years, their livelihood is already difficult, and various tribes are constantly fighting.But now it's a good thing, the emperor's grandson of Daming still disturbs and loots from time to time, that's not enough.

In the eyes of these nomads, they went south to plunder when their lives were unsatisfactory. When did it become those southerners who came to plunder them, heroes on horseback? !
'boom'

'boom'

'boom'

The sound of cannons sounded, which also made Zhu Xiongying not very satisfied.The caliber of these small field cannons is average, and the most important thing is that these shells are basically solid shells, and the killing effect is relatively average.

This made Zhu Xiongying not very satisfied. Over the years, he has attached great importance to firearms, trained many craftsmen, and invested a lot of resources.However, Zhu Xiongying was not very satisfied with the development and progress of firearms.

Don't talk about grenades, even for bird guns, they can't do matchlock guns, which makes Zhu Xiongying a little depressed.

Daming's war horse seemed to have undergone some training, and he was relatively calm in the face of these cannon sounds.As for the war horses of the Mongolian tribe, although they have undergone a lot of training, they are just a little flustered.

At the same time as the salvo of bows and arrows was fired, the first row of bird guns fired, and then the second row followed, and the gunners in the third row also fired immediately at this time.

It's over, this is the three axes.The current bird gun has such an effect, not to mention the short range, and the reloading is relatively slow.Basically, it is perfect with a round of salvo, but the effect is still very good, and many Mongolian knights who are running are beaten on their backs.

Seeing that the momentum of the Mongolian cavalry's attack has stagnated, Zhu Xiongying is quite satisfied.At this time, the battle-hardened soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also had a tacit understanding. When the gunner retreated, the infantry began to move.

With shields set up and spears pointing slantedly, these infantrymen have full determination and can withstand the impact of cavalry.These are also some tactics of the past dynasties. It is indeed a natural disadvantage to fight infantry against cavalry, but many times they have some experience.

The Ming cavalry on the two wings are still recharging their energy. They need to wait a little longer and fight out at the critical moment, which can turn the situation around and secure the victory.After all, in this era, cavalry is king, and the cavalry of Daming is even more precious.

Zhu Xiongying laughed, turned his head and said, "Second uncle, those Tartars still use bronze arrows and stone arrows. I think there is a shortage of supplies on the grasslands. The livelihood of these people is difficult."

Zhu Xi also laughed at this time, quite proud of himself, "Father and brother are wise and wise. These Tartars have no skills at all, and they have broken their iron tools after retreating to the grassland. Nowadays, tea, needles and threads all depend on me, Daming. Talk about ironware!"

The Mongolian tribes that don't even have iron pots are degenerating more severely now. It is also very difficult for the Mongolian tribes to become the Mongolian iron cavalry that traverses the Asian continent. This is also a very unrealistic thing.

When these Mongols have no weapons in their hands, even if they have excellent riding skills, they will soon fall into a disadvantage at this time.

When the cavalry on the two wings came out, the Mongolian tribe was even more vulnerable. The old Mongolian cavalry were not charging now. These people were now fleeing and trying to escape.

Zhu Xiongying lost his interest. When these Mongolians started to flee, Zhu Xiongying really had no choice.It is really not an easy task to catch these cavalry with superb riding skills, and Zhu Xiongying can only watch these young and strong nomads flee.

Missing a large number of laborers made Zhu Xiongying feel extremely distressed.If the package is round, the pressure of building bridges and roads will be reduced, and there will be a large number of hardworking miners in the silver mine.

It's a pity, although Zhu Xiongying was very sorry, he didn't say much, and he didn't think about arresting those people. He knew that this matter was not very realistic.

"These people are smart, but they're just here to test my Daming's military strength." Zhu Xi was quite proud, and said with a smile, "Nephew, do you want to send our troops to the north, so that we also come to attack Huanglong and seal the wolf?!"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head with a smile, and said to Zhu Xi, "Second Uncle, don't be joking. I think Grandpa Huang will make an order soon, ordering me to wait for the teacher to return to court."

Zhu Xi also laughed, he felt that there must be nothing wrong with Zhu Xiongying's words.It's okay to make small troubles, but if Zhu Xiongying is really asked to lead an expedition, they know that this is impossible, and they know that the emperor will not allow it.

It wasn't a big battle at all, but Zhu Xiongying felt a little contented, he had been to the battlefield anyway, and he had commanded a battle anyway.

Although it was an easy victory, Zhu Xiongying was not particularly satisfied with such a battle.Daming has shown its strength, but Zhu Xiongying has also seen many shortcomings, and Daming needs to be even stronger!
