I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 143 Domineering by the Onan River!
The third day of May in the 12th year of Yongle.

After more than two months of marching, the 50 troops of the Ming Dynasty finally reached the Onan River.

As soon as the Ming army arrived on the front foot, the Oala army on the back foot came to kill them.

Listening to the sentry's report, Zhu Di calmly ordered the army to prepare for battle.

Although the Ming army worked hard to travel far, but when the enemy came, they could not retreat without fighting, which would weaken Ming's momentum.

With Zhu Di's personality, he would not order to retreat.

As the armies quickly changed their battle formations, Zhu Di took Han Wang Zhao Wang and several other generals to a high slope, looking at the legions that were slowly forming formation.

Holding a horsewhip, Zhu Di pointed to a direction in the distance and said, "This is the Onan River, and it is also the starting point for the ancestors of the grassland people to dominate the world."

Looking at the mighty army and the endless grassland, Zhu Di smiled slightly, and said with a hint of arrogance on his face: "For 500 years, I am the only one who has hit here."

Zhu Di does have the capital to be proud of.

Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the subsequent Han Dynasty has almost always focused on defense, and rarely dabbled in the grassland, let alone hit here.

When he came here today, even if he died, Zhu Di still had the confidence to tell Lao Zhu.

"I'm a hundred times better than the Zhu Yunxuan you're looking for. Old man, you claim to be very accurate in judging people all your life, but let me tell you, you have a good eye when it comes to choosing an heir."

Zhu Di is proud.

The surrounding generals also puffed up their chests.

Zhu Di was the first emperor to fight here in 500 years, and they were also the first Han army to fight here in 500 years.

Even if they died here today, they are not ashamed of their ancestors, nor of the common people.

Looking at the enemy army that had appeared on the horizon in the distance, Zhu Di suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

"This is just my starting point, and I will go further."

"I, Zhu Di, will be the emperor who has expanded the territory the farthest in the history of the Han family, bar none!"

"drive!"

Raising his hand and waving his whip, Zhu Di drove his horse towards the army formation.

Although the Ming soldiers who had already formed their formation were a little tired from the journey.But each of them stood up straight, with high fighting spirit in their eyes.

All the soldiers looked at Zhu Di who rode his horse into the army with fanaticism and admiration in their eyes.

This is the man in front of him.

It is the emperor in front of him.

Leading them to fight east and west, they came to the enemy's hinterland, and set brilliant records one after another.

Driving into the army formation, Zhu Di looked at all the soldiers who turned to face him, and raised his hand to beat his chest.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

All the soldiers roared loudly.

"The general is mighty!"

The sound went straight to the sky.

An eagle flying by in the sky was startled by the sound, scared out of its wits on the spot, and fell from the sky.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

Zhu Di rode his horse and walked slowly, watching with piercing eyes, a familiar and unfamiliar warrior of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.

"The emperor is mighty!"

The soldiers hissed in response to their king.

Zhu Di pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves and let out a cry.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

This cry was like the chant of the nine-day dragon, and all the morale's blood was instantly ignited.

"Long live the emperor, long live! Long live!"

"Long live the emperor, long live! Long live!"

"Long live the emperor, long live! Long live!"

Zhu Di looked around at the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and said loudly: "We have been fighting for more than ten years and have traveled thousands of miles. Today we will fight the main force of the enemy."

Perhaps feeling Zhu Di's fighting spirit, the horse trotted back and forth, wanting more soldiers, and hearing the king's words.

Zhu Di looked at the army in front of him.

"I want you to join me on horseback!"

"I want you to fight bloody battles with me!"

"Let our children and grandchildren never suffer from war again."

"bass!"

Reaching out his hand and pulling out the saber on the saddle, Zhu Di raised the saber and shouted.

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"

All the officers pulled out their knives and held them high in the sky.

"kill!"

The saber in Zhu Di's hand swung into the sky again.

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The morale of the whole army was boiling, holding up their weapons and roaring angrily.

I solemnly swear to the sky, to the earth, to the thousands of people of Ming Dynasty, to the compatriots who died tragically in a foreign race, and to their king.

In this battle, either the enemy dies or we die.

"The whole army is ready for war!"

Three killing sounds shook the sky.

The British Duke Zhang Fu, who commanded the entire army on behalf of Zhu Di, issued an order to prepare for the war.

Following the order.

The army array began to move slowly.

Shenji Battalion is in front.

The five barracks are behind.

The [-] battalion spread out around.

Start slowly approaching the enemy.

On the far side.

Maham led 5 cavalry, slowly pressing down like dark clouds covering the sky.

The two armies slowly approached.

When the distance between the two sides was still four miles away, they stopped at the same time.

Holding the binoculars and looking at the opposite Zhu Di, he ordered to the messenger beside him: "Tell Jianghuai, the cannons are not allowed to fire without my order."

"Our guests don't know the strength of our family, so we can't scare them away."

Jiang Huai, who is directing the Shenji Battalion to prepare for the battle.

After hearing the order, he understood what Zhu Di meant.

This expedition.

The Shenji Battalion carried a total of 70 light artillery pieces, 20 medium artillery pieces, and 10 heavy artillery pieces.

In order to bring these heavyweights to the battlefield, the Fifth Army Battalion also sent more than 2000 people to help the Shenji Company deliver the artillery.

The horse-drawn people dragged them down all the way before sending these uncles to the place.

On this road, the people and horses who pulled the cannon were exhausted.

Especially those ten heavy artillery pieces.

When marching every day, when the soldiers in charge of transportation were drawing lots, they would tremble all over when they drew heavy artillery.

Nima, this thing is really terrible.

"All artillery enters the hollow position, and no artillery is allowed to fire without an order."

"Tiger crouching cannon is ready!"

"All musketeers reload!"

"A swarm of bee battalions is ready and waiting for the ignition order at any time."

"The throwing hands are at the back, and you will not be needed for the time being."

"Also... tell the old craftsmen in the craftsman camp to push me one of the newly researched god arrows."

"Your Highness said that the battlefield is the best place to test equipment. If you don't use it now, why don't you keep the cubs!"

The Celestial Arrow is a firearm newly researched by the Artisan Camp.

Although the name is tall.

But to put it bluntly, it is an enlarged version of the Sky-piercing Monkey.

It is about 3 meters long and as thick as a bucket.

Ignite by the fuse, and then fly towards the enemy under the propellant of gunpowder.

Finally, the top gunpowder explodes to kill the enemy.

Due to the use of black powder, this thing is thick and heavy.

The range is not very far.

According to the results of the experiment of igniting a shot in the Artisan Camp.

This thing can only fly about three miles away.

As for the quasi-head or something, there is nothing at all.

Hitting enemies is all about randomness.

If there is a deviation in the middle or because of the wind direction, it is possible to deviate a hundred and eight thousand miles, or even fly back to your own formation.

And it's very expensive to make.

A Celestial Arrow costs around 1 taels of silver.

In the words of housekeeper Lao He.

If my fucking ten thousand was exchanged for silver, I would kill more enemies by smashing it than this thing like yours.

But helpless, who makes Zhu Zhangui like it.

After all, Zhu Zhangui understands that although this thing is not reliable now, it is all accumulated experience.

With the improvement and update of generations in the future, sooner or later it will become a real missile.

Soon, several old craftsmen, with the cooperation of dozens of soldiers, pushed the arrow of the gods over.

Looking at the thick Celestial Arrow, Jiang Huai couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Don't fucking blow it up in your own array.

If it blows up in its own array, it would be a big joke.

"woooooooo~"

Not long after the formation of the Ming army was completed, a desolate horn sounded from the Oala army on the opposite side.

There is no shouting in front of the battle, no generals singled out.

The battle just started suddenly.

With the sound of the horn on the opposite side.

A group of thousands of cavalry rushed out of the formation quickly, and charged towards the Daming army formation.

Zhu Di, who was looking at the situation on the battlefield with a telescope, frowned when he saw this, and gave an order to the messenger.

"Notify the Shenji Battalion not to fire, let the spearmen and archers stand in front, and the Shenji Battalion will retreat 50 steps."

"Tell those who command the spearmen and archers to retreat immediately after contact with the enemy and pretend to be invincible."

"After the pikemen retreated, the [-] Battalion sent out a team of cavalry to drive the gang back to me."

"Command!"

Following the order.

The Shenji Battalion at the front began to retreat slowly, and a team of spearmen and archers took their place.

In the [-] Battalion on the left, a pair of [-]-man cavalry was also dispatched to prepare for the response.

The enemy's tentative attack is very fierce.

These guys seem to be sent to death.

With the arrow feathers of the archer, fight with the pikemen.

After a brief encounter, the pikemen and archers fell back.

The [-]-battalion squad on standby rushed out immediately and drove the vanguard back.

Then the actions of the Ming army made the Wala people scream excitedly.

I saw that after repelling the Wala Pioneer Thousand Cavalry.

The Ming army began to retreat slowly, as if intimidated by the brutality of the Oirats.

"Khan... The Ming army was defeated and retreated. We immediately pressed the whole army and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop."

The Oirats, who didn't have binoculars, saw the Ming army and retreated after only a short fight. At that time, they screamed excitedly.

One by one they clamored for the whole army to crush the Ming army.

Mahamu, who had no joy on his face, couldn't help frowning as he watched the Ming army retreating slowly.

Although he is somewhat arrogant, he is not stupid.

If the Ming army really only had this fighting strength, his ancestors would not have been pressed to the ground and hammered by Lan Yu and others.

In addition, Zhu Di's first expedition, although there was no large-scale decisive battle.

But after a brief contact, it also proved that Zhu Di's military command and the fighting power of the Ming army are not weak.

But today is strange.

This is just contact, only a small fight, why did the Ming army retreat?
Is it true that after running such a long distance, the morale of the army is a little exhausted, so I simply contacted it, and when I saw that I suffered a loss, I retreated and set up camp, rested first and then fought.

"Khan, what are you still thinking, if you don't give an order, the enemy will run away."

"Once they set up camp, it will be very difficult for us to fight again."

The generals next to him saw that the Ming army began to retreat slowly, but Mahamu didn't react at all, and everyone was in a hurry.

"Send another team of cavalry to test it out!"

Mahamu hesitated for a moment, but decided to try again.

He always felt that Zhu Di, an old boy, was not that simple.

"Still testing the fart, if you try again, they will run away."

"That's right, Khan, if we really let them run away, we won't have such a good chance to annihilate them when they recover."

Hearing that Mahamu still planned to test, the generals complained one after another.

"Ding ding ding ding ding..."

Just when Mahamu was about to frown and reprimand.

The other side suddenly remembered the sound of Mingjin.

Hearing the retreating voice named Jin, Mahamu breathed a sigh of relief.

The enemy really retreated.

It seems that I was worrying too much just now.

The enemy is very tired after running so far.

It must be a little uncomfortable for a while to suddenly meet the enemy and fight.

"bass!"

Thinking of this, Mahamu pulled out his waist knife.

The enemy's retreat must be in an unstable order, and it is a tired army. If you don't fight at this time, you will wait when.
