I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Under the city of Pingding Prefecture.

Shuo Lei watched the Mongolian army being shot by Ning Haijun with a rifle like a target. He had to face the reality that cavalry and shooting were no match for firearms after all.

Even with the advantage of dozens of times the number of people, the problem is that people are not machines, and people will be afraid. Especially in this situation, the Mongolian army was shot by the rifles of the Ning Navy scout cavalry before they entered the range of bows and arrows. There is simply no time to give full play to their advantages.

What made the Mongolian army feel helpless the most was that as more and more corpses were killed in front of the Ninghai Navy, the corpses of these horses or soldiers would be frozen into ice sculptures, which greatly restricted the mobility of the Mongolian cavalry.

Shuo Lei issued an order for a decisive assault towards Nabulun. In desperation, Nabulun could only grit his teeth and order to draw out the scimitar, put the spear flat, no longer use bows and arrows, and no longer use riding and shooting tactics. He decided to use Scimitars and spears decide the outcome.

At this time, the Ning navy cavalry still maintained a strict formation, firing bullets at the rushing Mongolian army with their rifles.

Seeing the attack of more than [-] cavalry, under the impact of bullets, causing heavy casualties, Ning Haijun began to charge, but Ning Haijun stopped charging after only three or four hundred steps forward.

Cheng Shijie ordered Ning Haijun soldiers to immediately collect the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers who had just died in battle, and build them into an ice wall with the corpses of the horses. The uncooled blood melted into ice and snow at a low temperature to form an ice wall.

The Ning Navy cavalry formed two corpses of Mongolian soldiers, like an upside-down ice wall. In this way, the disadvantage of the Ning Navy's numbers was alleviated, at least the Mongols could not attack the Ning Navy from the left and right wings.

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "The Mongols today are no longer as brave as they used to be. They are no longer the yellow devils who broke through the Eurasian continent with iron hooves and washed the earth with blood!"

Yes, as Cheng Shijie said, with the establishment of the four Mongolian Khanates and the Yuan Dynasty, those terrible yellow devils quickly decayed, and the bravery and warlike style disappeared.

The Yuan Dynasty was not bad. They were driven back to the Mongolian plateau by the Ming army. Facing the harsh natural environment and the aggressive Ming army, they quickly regained their combat effectiveness. In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols were still unable to be completely wiped out.

There is no way, the space for the Mongols to move is really too big, the living space of 600 million square kilometers is at their disposal. If the Mongolian Plateau can’t stay there, they can go to Liaodong. If Liaodong can’t stay, they can go to Qinghai. If you can't stay, you will go to Central Asia, Siberia or even South Russia.

Anyway, as long as you bring a tent to catch up with cattle and sheep, they can live no matter where they go. If you are lucky, you can escape to the Middle East or Europe, and then start the slaughter mode. A round of massacres wiped out a lot of countries and then established their own nation.

Didn’t the nomads such as Da Yuezhi, Xiongnu, Rouran, Turks, Khitan, and Mongols come here in this way?On the other hand, the Central Plains Dynasty is not good enough. These places are not suitable for the survival of farming peoples, and some places are barely developed, and they cannot support large-scale military operations.

Because of such a huge geographical advantage, the Mongols survived the military strikes of the Ming Dynasty with difficulty, and pushed back, forcing the Ming Dynasty to build the Great Wall for self-defense.But the four great Khanates did not have such good luck. Before the Yuan Dynasty fell, the nations of Europe and the Middle East were wiped out.

The Mongols who survived also found painfully that they had lost the material and spiritual support necessary to rebuild an empire under the fierce blow of Ming Dynasty, and the next two hundred years of contest with Ming Dynasty were just lingering .

Although they are still fierce and good at fighting, their bravery and ability to withstand casualties are more than one level behind their ancestors.

The Mongolian cavalry has degenerated and degenerated, but it is still a good fighting force.But now, these Mongolian cavalrymen who grew up on horseback faced these terrifying black knights, but they were killed by the opponent almost effortlessly.

However, there were only more than 7000 Ning Navy cavalry, and they killed or injured [-] people, but they did not threaten the Ming Army cavalry with more than [-] troops.

However, the problem is that these Ning Navy cavalry are getting more and more helpless, because their bullets are getting less and less, and the rifling of many barrels is almost smoothed. There is no way. Now the Ning Navy’s production technology is not advanced enough. , once the barrel is overheated, the rifling becomes very fragile.

"Master, I'm out of bullets!"

"Master, I'm out of bullets!"

As the battle continued to heat up, more and more soldiers around Cheng Shijie emptied their bullets.

Cheng Shijie has no better way now, just like in the EU war of later generations, the E army did not keep up because of logistics, and the army synthesis battalion of the E army lacked the necessary logistics supply. Tanks and armored vehicles attacked all the way, broke all the way, and discarded all the way As a result, the war did not fall as everyone expected, but instead fell into a stalemate.

"Don't you know how to fight without bullets?"

Cheng Shijie pulled out Tang Hengdao, and shouted loudly: "Generals, follow me to attack!"

Cheng Shijie leveled the horizontal knife, and the cavalry under his command also put away the empty rifles at the same time, and drew out the saber at the same time, holding the saber flat, aiming at the enemy's chest and abdomen.

Their formation was frighteningly neat, like a speeding iron wall, with one blow to ten, it still made people terrified.Anyone who knows Ning Haijun knows that the most terrifying unit of Ning Haijun is not the former capital, nor the left and right capitals, but the personal guards.

Unlike other generals' personal guards, the soldiers of Cheng Shijie's personal guards are all soldiers who have made meritorious service on the battlefield, and then transferred to the personal guards, where they trained for a period of time, and then entered the Ning Naval Military Academy After further study, after passing the further study, you will be an officer.

Cheng Shijie took the lead in charging, and his personal guard cavalry stood in the front. The sharp and bright knife wall flashed past, announcing the end of each life. , The split limbs and head were thrown away from the body, and a large stream of blood spurted out from the terrible wound, blooming into bewitching blood flowers, which bloomed amazingly and then withered.

Wherever Cheng Shijie's personal guard cavalry team went, the Mongolian cavalry was cut down in clusters, or knocked over by both men and horses. Shouts of horror sounded among them, and became louder and louder, overwhelming the screams : "Longevity God, the killing skills of the Han people on horseback actually overwhelmed them!"

"Marshal, let's take a step ahead!"

A guard cavalry whose left arm was cut off by a Mongolian cavalry took a deep look at Cheng Shijie: "Take care, Commander!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Chen Erhu, I remember you!"

Chen Erhu, who was seriously injured, had a terrible light in his eyes. He clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed wildly, and rushed towards the Mongolian army.

"Marshal, let's take a step ahead!"

"Marshal, let's take a step ahead!"

Ning Haijun's personal guard cavalry rushed together, and once again formed a messy cavalry to slam into the Mongolian army, as if in their eyes, an enemy like a wolf or an enemy like a pig was just a piece of meat. Let them eat!
The black storm swept across the battlefield filled with dead bodies, and the Mongolian cavalry looked dumbfounded. For the first time, they discovered that the Ming army cavalry could be so fierce and brave when fighting with cold weapons. No longer the Jurchen warrior who claims to be invincible.

Cheng Shijie saw that there were fewer and fewer Ning Haijun soldiers around him, and his heart began to sink: "Is it finally over?"

At this moment, the sharp whistle of the swan whistle suddenly rose from the ground and went straight to the sky, and then the earth began to vibrate.The two warring parties turned to look at the prestige one after another, and saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards the gate of Pingdingzhou City like a gust of fire, with fiery red helmet tassels and fiery red cloaks flying in the cold wind, the long formation along the The official road is winding, going forward indomitably, like a roaring red dragon!
Tianxiong Army, Tianxiong Army has arrived!
The battlefield fell into a brief silence, and then, earth-shattering cheers sounded, followed by exclamations and curses.

Seeing the appearance of the Tianxiong Army, Shuo Lei faintly felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, his hunch was correct.

Unlike Cheng Shijie, even if Cheng Shijie led the troops to charge in person, Cheng Shijie was very average in both riding and kung fu, but the problem was that Lu Xiangsheng was different.

Pu Dao is actually Qinglong Yanyue Dao.

Lu Xiangsheng's simple knives weighed thirty catties. He took the lead and slanted behind the Mongolian cavalry's buttocks. He swung the big knife like a ball of light, regardless of the soldiers, and slashed one by one. Fly!
Several red-eyed Mongolian generals went up to meet them, and they were all split open by him with a single knife. The big knife cut off the horse's neck first, and then split the Mongolian general's weapon and body in half. The flying blood rain quickly killed them. The pure white battle robe and horse were dyed red, this bravery is chilling.

The commander is so brave, of course the soldiers cannot lag behind. That day the cavalry of the heroic army fought bravely to be the first, slashing and killing.The elite cavalrymen of the Tianxiong Army, as if possessed by hellish ghosts, rammed into the middle of the Mongolian cavalrymen, which were three times as many as them, and cut them down piece by piece, and devoured them piece by piece.

Under the sharp blades of the Mongolian cavalry, they were also turned on their backs, but these cavalry seemed to have no idea what fear was, and only knew one word: rush!Until the enemy army collapses!The rolling iron cavalry was like a huge millstone on which thousands of cavalry circled, turning into piles of broken corpses.

Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo said excitedly: "Commander, the reinforcements have arrived! Pingding Prefecture is defended!"

Cheng Shijie closed his eyes and let out a long breath.The moment he saw the flag of the Tianxiong Army, he felt a big stone fall from his heart. Those people could rely on tricks and tricks to put Ning Haijun into a passive and beaten situation.

Tianxiong's army had hoped to capture or kill Li Zicheng, but they were plotted against. Tianxiong's army was probably already furious, and they charged very bravely.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng, who was covered in blood, turned his horse's head and shouted at Ning Haijun, "Where is Cheng Shuai?"

"This handsome is here!"

"Cheng Shuai quickly returned to Dingzhou City. The Tianxiong Army came only at the vanguard. The main force has not yet arrived. When the main force arrives, it will not be too late for a decisive battle!"

Naturally, Cheng Shijie will not be hypocritical. Ning Haijun has sacrificed enough. More than 1000 riders have arrived in Pingding Prefecture. Now the remaining troops are less than half, and there are barely more than [-] people, especially Cheng Shijie's more than [-] personal guards More than two-thirds of the cavalry were killed in battle, and now there are less than a hundred cavalry.

Seeing the extraordinary bravery of the Tianxiong Army, Shuo Lei
Yatai asked nervously, "King Khan, what should we do now?"

"The enemy's reinforcements have arrived, morale has been established, if we don't want to fight again, retreat!"

What Shuo Lei didn't know was that he missed his only chance to capture Pingding Prefecture, because the Tianxiong Army cavalry who had arrived in Pingding Prefecture now had less than [-] cavalry.More importantly, the cavalry of the Xiongjun Army is also at the end of its battle these days.

However, the problem is that there is no way. The problem that Shuo Lei needs to consider is that the Mongolian army also suffered heavy losses in this case. In particular, Li Dingguo first led [-] cavalry out of the city, and then Cheng Shijie led more than [-] cavalry out of the city. The reinforcements of the Xiongjun arrived on the battlefield, and after a set of combined punches, the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses, more than half of them.

Of his six ten thousand commanders, one was disabled, and the other lost thousands, which meant that Shuo Lei's subordinates lost more than [-] men and horses. If the fight continues, so what if they occupy Pingding Prefecture?Once the Chechen Khan shows a weak posture, Zasaktu Khan will turn around and annex them.

As the Mongolian army retreated, Tianxiong's army also accepted it as soon as it was good. After all, if the fight continued, it would not be an advantage, but a heavy loss.

Tianxiong Army is far inferior to Ning Haijun's wealth and wealth. Although the military expenditure received by Tianxiong Army from the court far exceeds Ning Haijun's, the problem is that Lu Xiangsheng really doesn't know how to manage money. Fortunately, Cheng Shijie set an example for Lu Xiangsheng. Cheng Shijie was stationed in eastern Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng was also organizing an army station. This army station was mainly based on Daming Mansion, and more than [-] million mu of land was reclaimed.

It's just that Daming Mansion lacks water, the weather is dry, and the harvest is far inferior to Liaodong. If Lu Xiangsheng has Cheng Shijie's financial resources, not even one-tenth, the Tianxiong Army will expand by more than ten times.

But the problem is that the Tianxiong Army now has less than [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry. This has already given Lu Xiangsheng a headache.

"Cheng Shuai, how do you feel?"

"Lord Lu, if you come half an hour late, it's probably time for Cheng to collect his body!"

The Ming Dynasty is indeed a very interesting dynasty. The general dynasty has already withered its talents by the end of the dynasty. It is different. In its last ten years, there are still many famous generals.

As soon as the Chongzhen Dynasty came out, there were four fierce men, namely Cao Wenzhao, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting. Each was more powerful than the other, and Lu Xiangsheng was the fiercest among the fierce men.

It took only five years for Lu Xiang to become a magistrate from being a Jinshi. He served as a magistrate for three years. .It took only two years to go from deputy provincial to senior official.

That is to say, it took Lu Xiangsheng ten years to do it. Those officials who have been in the capital for 20 years without making a fuss know that the magic horse is called speed.He is a clean and honest official, has no gray income, is serious and responsible in his work, and the people have a good impression of him. To put it bluntly, the first impression he gives is that of a standard scholar and a civil servant.

There are not many people who admire Cheng Shijie in the entire Ming Dynasty. Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi are naturally, of course, Lu Xiangsheng is definitely one of them.

When Cheng Shijie admired Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng also admired Cheng Shijie.

Compared with Lu Xiangsheng's promotion speed, Cheng Shijie's promotion speed is faster. In Chongzhen's four years, he was still a thousand households of the fifth rank, and he was a donated official. In Ming Dynasty, there were not one thousand donated officials like Cheng Shijie, but eight hundred. A cannon fodder military officer who is worthless at all, but Cheng Shijie became a fourth-rank defense officer in just over three months.

After three months of garrison, he became the chief soldier.

In just half a year, he has reached the ceiling of the rank of military officer. More importantly, he is now the crown prince, the prime minister, and the prime minister of the Nine Borders. Regardless of his official position or real power, he is older than Lu Xiangsheng.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is not jealous of Cheng Shijie, because Cheng Shijie has done things that ordinary people cannot do. Jing'an Fort defender Qiao Zhaolin abandoned the city and fled. Tens of thousands of Mongolian troops entered Miyun and threatened Gyeonggi. Tushetu Khan was almost wiped out.

More importantly, after the Mutiny in Taiyuan, it was Cheng Shijie who guarded Pingding Prefecture. If Cheng Shijie hadn't been there, the Mongolian army would have already rushed through Taihang Mountain, entered Zhending Mansion, and might have reached the capital.

Both Cheng Shijie and Lu Xiangsheng worked very hard, and they didn't talk too much. Instead, they went back to rest. After all, the crisis in Pingding Prefecture has not really been resolved. This time, the Chechen Khan has suffered a loss. They will definitely go to arrest more Ming people. , the fierce battle is yet to come.

The arrival of the Tianxiong Army only improved the strength of Pingding Prefecture, but the enemy was still strong and we were weak.

However, Cheng Shijie was really relieved when Ning Haijun's reinforcements came up that night. After Shen Mingyu stabilized Datong Town, he spared no effort to mobilize 30 infantry from the main force of the Annan Army to escort him. A convoy sent materials to Cheng Shijie. These materials were mainly bullets and grenades. There were [-] bullets, [-] grenades, and more than [-] rocket launchers.

With these equipments, Cheng Shijie has more confidence.However, Pingding Prefecture had weapons and ammunition, but no food was sent, and with the arrival of the Tianxiong Army, the food shortage was even worse.

If it wasn't for the victory in this battle, the soldiers of the Ning Navy used the ice wall to store some of the horses, maybe both the Tianxiong Army and the soldiers of the Ning Navy would be hungry.

Even if there were less than four thousand Ning navy, Cheng Shijie dared to launch a general attack on Shuo Lei.

Hearing the cheers from Pingdingzhou City, Shuo Lei's heart became heavier: "It seems that the Ming army's reinforcements have arrived again!"

Yatai smiled wryly, "How many reinforcements does Minggou have?"

"Da Ming has more than 200 million troops, what do you think? They can send hundreds of thousands of reinforcements!"

Shuo Lei is a headache, this is the advantage of a big country, Ming can lose, even if it loses ten times, Ming still has the capital to make a comeback, but the problem is that Mongolia really can't afford to lose.

Especially the Chechen Khan, it was too weak in front of the behemoth of Ming Dynasty.

But the question is, so what if you can't afford to lose?

The Chechen Khans continue to have only a dead end in Mobei. They are also looking for a way to survive. This is their confidence.

What Shuo Lei didn't know was that their Chechen Khan had no future. (end of this chapter)
