Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 176 Queen Mother!Your Highness is martyred!

According to the situation learned by the Mongolian cavalry exploring the horses, the Ming army set up three or four forts on this road.

A large amount of necessities such as food, grass and gunpowder were stored in these simple fortresses.

As long as these fortresses can be destroyed, even if the supply of the Ming army is completely cut off, it can greatly damage the morale of the Ming army!
Moreover, even if there is a retreating Ming army in Yuer, they can lose their supply ability and slowly die in this vast grassland!
After receiving Wang Baobao's order, his younger brother Tuoyin Timur led [-] cavalry to pounce on the Ming army in the south.

Wang Baobao led the Mongolian Guards on the left and right wings and the elite cavalry of various tribes to launch a full-scale attack on the Ming army in the fishing sea!
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"Wang Baobao's army really came here!"

Zhou Dexing, Guo Ying and others found that the Mongolian cavalry was preparing to attack after deploying their troops, and they immediately reported to Zhu Han.

At this time, the Yuerhai camp was in chaos. All the Mongols had fled to the north, and the Ming army was disrupted. There are many Ming soldiers who have not found their own troops.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Zhu Han immediately ordered the drums to be sounded.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
As the rumbling drums sounded, the Ming army launched a defense relying on the ruins left by the Yuan army.

Rumble!
Boom!

With the sound of artillery, the Ming army immediately fired hastily at Wang Baobao's army who was attacking.

In an instant, the Yuan army was killed by artillery dozens of people!

but.

This casualty was nothing to the tens of thousands of cavalry, and it did not stop the Yuan army's attack.

The two sides started a fierce fight with Yuerhai as their camp.

The Ming army was evenly matched with the Yuan army led by Wang Baobao.

Both sides have their own advantages. The Ming army has the advantage of strong soldiers and horses in training, but Wang Baobao's army is all cavalry, with flexible mobility. They can wait for opportunities to find the Ming army's loopholes on the front line, and then launch a deadly surprise attack.

The two sides fought fiercely in Yuerhai.

Numerous muskets, cannons, bows and spears come and go on the battlefield.

The two sides fought for more than an hour, but there was no winner.

Even though the Ming army was attacked by Wang Baobao's soldiers and horses, they were at a slight disadvantage at first, but with their excellent psychological quality and training, the Ming army quickly stabilized their position.

Wang Baobao frowned, and couldn't help showing a worried look in his heart as he watched the Ming army fighting harder and harder.

His younger sister Zhao Min was also closely following Wang Baobao at this time. Seeing the Ming army fighting stronger and stronger, Zhao Min finally couldn't help persuading him from the side, "Brother, this is the true level of the Ming army. If we continue to fight, they will fight stronger and stronger, and it will become more and more difficult for us to win!"

Zhao Min has been lurking in the Daming palace for more than a year, so he is naturally familiar with the style of the Ming army who dares to fight and is not afraid of death.

She had warned Wang Baobao before that she must seriously consider the Ming army's Jedi counterattack capabilities.

At this time, Wang Baobao also knew that the situation was urgent.

If the fight continues like this, I am afraid that the Yuan army wants to retreat completely, and there is no guarantee.

However, Wang Baobao refused to give up.

After another hour of fighting, the Meng Yuan army showed even more decline.

Wang Baobao frowned tightly, and glanced at the gradually darkening sky.

Finally, in desperation, Wang Baobao waved his hand and gave the order to withdraw the troops.

"Withdraw!"

With the retreat horn sounded!

Wang Baobao's Mongolian Guards had to give up the attack and withdrew from the battlefield after an attack was frustrated.

The soldiers of the Ming army looked at the Mongolian cavalry receding like the tide, and finally disappeared in the grassland.

They first experienced a tough battle, and then completed a Jedi defense.

The Ming army knew that it had won another victory, and the whole army immediately burst into cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Zhu Han looked at the soldiers of the Ming army who were victorious again, and knew that from then on, the remnants of the Meng Yuan forces would never have the courage to fight against him again!

. . .

Wang Baobao led the remnants of the defeated generals back to the rear of the Mongolian Yuan army. Seeing the soldiers of the Yuan army returning dejectedly, the Empress Dowager Qi of the Yuan Dynasty was shocked.

She greeted Wang Baobao who had returned, and asked in a trembling voice, "Grand Master, why did you retreat? Where is Your Majesty? Where is Your Majesty?"

Wang Baobao didn't say a word, and the faces of the other generals were also not very good-looking. The Empress Dowager Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong, her heart sank suddenly, her head became dizzy, and she passed out in front of Wang Baobao.

If it weren't for the quick eyesight and quick hands of the maidservants next to her, she might have fallen to the ground.

Wang Baobao's heart was very heavy, and he said coldly to the maidservants, help the Queen Mother go down to rest! "

Wang Baobao knew that after this battle, the Ming army would only make their defense more stable. If they did not succeed in this surprise attack, they would never have the chance to defeat the Ming army on an upright battlefield.

Wang Baobao said to the left and right generals:
"Pass down the order, let all the ministries step up their vigilance, and don't let the Ming army catch up and attack us!"

Afterwards, he dispatched the remaining elite cavalry to guard against the Ming army on a large scale.

Wang Baobao was already frightened, he didn't dare to let the Ming army detect his whereabouts, Wang Baobao.

In fact, these last Mongolian and Yuan elites already had a great fear of the Ming army.

Everyone of them knew that if the Ming army caught their tracks and chased them up, then this last shelter would be gone.

The current Wang Baobao has pinned all his hopes on his younger brother Tuoyin Timur. As long as Tuoyin Timur leads the Mongolian Yuan cavalry to destroy the supply line of the Ming army on the grassland, when our Ming army retreats, They would fall into chaos and starvation due to lack of supplies.

At that time, Wang Baobao will still have one last chance.

At this time, Wang Baobao hadn't realized that even the logistics soldiers and horses on the logistics line of the Ming army were definitely not something that the Mobei Mongolian cavalry could deal with!
On the Mobei grassland, Toyin Timur led [-] cavalry.

After leaving the Yuerhai camp, they went all the way south to launch a sneak attack on the Ming army fortress along the way.

However, these Ming army fortresses all relied on their own firepower and excellent fortifications to resist Toin Timur's sneak attack.

Seeing that the raid was fruitless, Tuoyin Timur couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.

He can only put all his eggs in one basket at the end!
He knew that the Ming army had the largest fortress in the far south, which was close to the Gobi desert.

As long as the first fortress entering the grassland can be destroyed, the Ming army will no longer have the ability to resupply when retreating in the Gobi Desert.

Therefore, the southernmost fortress of the Ming army is very important, and Tuoyin Timur made a decisive decision!
Abandoning several small forts along the way, he led [-] elite cavalry and rushed southward.

After three days and three nights of raiding, when Toin Timur led [-] Mongolian cavalrymen to kill them, no one in the Ming army in the "Prairie Fort" thought that such a huge Mongolian cavalry would suddenly appear in front of their own fortress.

As the commander of Prairie Fort, Luo Guanzhong, the commander of Ying Changwei, immediately ordered to sound the warning signal!

Boom!Boom!Boom!
With the sound of war drums, all the soldiers of the Ming army on the fort immediately put on their armor.

The soldiers of the Ming army took up their weapons one by one, ready to fight.

Tuoyin Timur led an army of [-] cavalry to kill the grassland treasure.

He looked at the earthen fortress that was only one person tall in front of him, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

This fortress is obviously much larger than the few Ming army fortresses he encountered, and there must be more grain and military supplies in it.

As long as he can destroy this fortress, the Ming army will lose most of its food and supplies, and in the end it will definitely not be able to safely pass through the Gobi Desert.

Tuoyin Timur did not stop, and ordered his troops to attack immediately.

The 2 yuan army cavalry was divided into three groups, and it was also a move to encircle, three and one.

They lined up from the east, west, and north, one by one, wearing armor, holding simple ropes, and holding shields in their hands, and launched an attack on the grassland fort of the Ming army.

Seeing this, Luo Guanzhong immediately yelled, "All artillery is not allowed to fire without my order."

On this vast grassland, even if there are tens of thousands of people, it seems sparse. Only when the Mongols approached, the small artillery deployed by the Ming army could have enough lethality.

Otherwise, the firing distance of the artillery is too far, and even if each shell hits, it can only destroy one or two enemies. However, if these Mongols are placed at a close distance, they can use powerful shotguns, and each shell can destroy them. At least a dozen, or even dozens of Mongolian soldiers.

Luo Guanzhong had only [-] soldiers under his command.And Tuoyin Timur has [-] Mongolian elites in his hands.

The battle between the two sides can be described as tragic and intense!

The Mongolian cavalry played the fighting style of their ancestors who were not afraid of death. They rushed to a dozen steps with the artillery and muskets of the Ming army, and then I fired round after round at the Ming army with the bow and arrow in my hand.

These bows and arrows all used armor-piercing arrows at such a short distance. Even though many soldiers of the Ming army were wearing armor, they were injured by these heavy bows and arrows.

However, even the soldiers of the Ming army who were seriously injured by bows and arrows did not show any weakness. They endured the pain in their bodies and continued to fight back with their muskets.

Li Shan and Li Zhong brothers are the musketeers in the team. The two brothers cooperate closely. Li Shan fires in front, relying on the fortifications of the fortress to fire muskets at the Mongolian and Yuan enemies, while Li Zhong nervously loads gunpowder in the rear.

The two muskets were reloaded and fired in their hands in turn, and one Mongolian soldier after another fell in front of them.

However, even after suffering such heavy casualties, these attacking Mongolian soldiers did not retreat in the slightest.

Soon, layers of corpses even filled the trench ahead.

After rounds of attacks, the Mongolian soldiers finally rushed to the earthen wall of the Prairie Fort!
At this time, the muskets in the hands of brothers Li Shan and Li Zhong had become scorching hot due to continuous firing.

Finally, after Li Shan loaded some gunpowder, he stopped using the fiery musket at all, and the hot barrel ignited the newly loaded gunpowder instantly.

Li Shan knew that this was because the barrel had overheated after firing for a long time.

From now on, they had to wait for the firearm to cool down, otherwise it would be easy to cause the chamber to explode.

Looking at the densely packed Mongolian soldiers climbing in from the wall, Li Shan finally showed a nervous expression, and Li Zhong also had the same expression.

And at this moment, a mocking voice sounded behind them.

"Li Er, you two, are you scared?"

"Without muskets, I think you are as cowardly as without eggs!"

The Li family brothers turned their heads away.

The person who spoke was none other than the brother Aqina and Seth Heixing whom they laughed at two days ago, also the brother named Zhao Jin Zhao Bao in Chinese.

I saw these two brothers from the Jurchen tribe, one holding a ghost knife and the other holding a mace, wearing bright armor all over their bodies, showing provocative smiles.

Brothers Li Shan and Li Tong were furious, "How dare you laugh at Grandpa, you bastard. Let me tell you, even if Grandpa doesn't have a musket, he can kill a Mongolian Tartar with a big knife in his hand, crying for his mother!"

Archina and Seth Hei continued to show mocking smiles and said, "Hey, let me show you first, who is grandpa!"

"Who is the hero, who is the grandson, let's compare who killed more Mongolians!"

Brother Aqina and Seth Hei also paid no attention to the two of them, and immediately grabbed the ghost knife and mace in their hands, and killed several Mongolian soldiers who climbed up the earth wall.

After hearing a few muffled puffs, a cloud of blood mist rose above the earthen wall.

The Mongolian soldiers in front of the two brothers suddenly lost their heads and fell to the ground.

Li Shan and Li Zhong saw how brave the Ming soldiers from the two Jurchen tribes were so brave, and they did not show any weakness. They threw down the muskets in their hands and drew out the knives at their waists, and started fighting with the Mongolian soldiers.

The brutal fight unfolded on the dirt wall.

However, under the one-person-high soil wall, various corpses and discarded soldiers were quickly piled up into a slope.

On this slope, the Ming army and Mongolian soldiers fought fiercely with blood for blood.

Luo Guanzhong stood on the highest sentry tower in the fortress, looking at the densely packed Mongolian soldiers rushing up like a black tide, at this moment, he was already in the mood of death.

All fronts have been broken through by Mongolian soldiers, and it has become a fighting field for competing wills!
On the low earthen wall, the soldiers on both sides were engaged in the most intense hand-to-hand combat.

A soldier beside Luo Guanzhong ran up from below and said to Luo Guanzhong, "My lord, the walls of the camps are already in emergency,,,,,"

Luo Guanzhong interrupted the soldier with a wave of his hand, and said to him, "I have already seen that every camp wall is in a hurry, and I have no more soldiers in my hands. Go and tell everyone that anyone who wants to survive must die Let them each kill three Tartars!"

"Whoever wants to survive must show the aura of not wanting to die!"

"Come with me, kill these Tartars!"

Luo Guanzhong looked at the vast Gobi Desert in the south, and suddenly remembered the wish he made when he was in Hangzhou to serve as a soldier.

He was thinking at the time that he wanted to follow the example of Ban Chao and Huo Qubing in those days when he went on an expedition beyond the Great Wall, and spread the prestige of the great Han country thousands of miles away.

Now that I have come to this Mobei grassland and faced Mongolian enemies several times larger than myself, I have fulfilled my original wish.

Luo Guanzhong looked at the red military flag rising high behind him, symbolizing Ming Dynasty... thinking again.

"Now under my command, there are not only Han soldiers, but also Jurchen soldiers, and even some soldiers of Mongol origin. Now facing the siege of Mongolia and Yuan, no one has retreated. It can be considered that I, Luo Guanzhong, have led the army well. I am worthy of the Daming Road. !"

Thinking of this... Luo Guanzhong must not let these soldiers look down on him at this critical moment.

He drew out the sword in his hand, and said to the few remaining soldiers around him, "Everyone follow me!"

Following Luo Guanzhong's order, several soldiers also roared, took out their weapons, protected Luo Guanzhong and rushed towards the dirt wall where the battle was most intense.
