At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 100 Greeting Death (Third update, please subscribe!!)

In March of the 15th year of Zhengtong, Li Zhen, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, set out from the capital with [-] battalions.

The [-] Battalion were all cavalry and did not carry any luggage. They marched very fast, passed through Juyongguan, and headed north all the way. They rushed for more than [-] miles in half a month and arrived at Yumu River.

Looking around, the river is gurgling, the vegetation is fresh and green, and the scenery is quite pleasant.

It's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is about to usher in the baptism of artillery fire.

In the depths of the desert, there is also a large tent of the Chinese army.

"Report to Grand Master, three thousand cavalrymen of the Ming army have already left the Great Wall first!"

"Only 3000 people?" Yexian's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there no movement from the little emperor?"

"According to reports from spies lurking in Dadu, the Ming army has about 10 people in this expedition, and they are still gathering."

He pondered for a while before saying, "Call Boyan over here!"

Not long after, the tent door was lifted, and Boyan stepped in.

"Brother, I heard that the southerners are gathering troops?"

In the battle of Tumubao, one eye was burned by the lime powder of the Ming army, but now there is only one eye left, which looks even more fierce.

He has always remembered this hatred, and only waited until he went south again, vowing to gouge out the little emperor's eyes to avenge his shame.

He also nodded first, and said, "According to reports from the scouts, three thousand cavalrymen of the Ming army have crossed the Great Wall and are marching towards the Yumu River area. This is a lone army."

Hearing this, Boyan's one-eyed eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother, let me go!"

"The southerners are extremely cunning, they suffered a loss last time, so it's better to be more cautious!"

"Brother, don't worry, this time they will never let their scheme succeed!"

Yexian said again: "Tell me, how many people do you need?"

Boyan didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "The Ming army has 3000 people, and I only need [-]!"

He also shook his head first, and said, "How about this, I'll give you five thousand, and we need to make a quick decision!"

"Brother, worry too much. To deal with those southerners, 2000 people are enough."

"How did you suffer in the past, did you forget it so quickly?"

Yexian's face was heavy, and he said meaningfully: "After arriving at Yumuchuan, don't rush to attack, and try the Ming army's reality."

With a little helplessness in Boyan's eyes, he said, "Obey!"

After speaking, he went outside the tent, hand-picked five thousand elite cavalry, and rushed towards Yumu River.

I also thought for a long time, wrote a letter, and then summoned my subordinates, and ordered: "Go to Yingchang immediately, and it will not take a sweat to send this letter to Tuotuo. Taiwan Congress."

The Kuliltai Assembly is the most formal political and military assembly of the Mongols, used to elect leaders and decide on major events such as wars.

All the great Khans of the Mongol Empire, such as Genghis Khan and Ogedai Khan, were elected by Khuriltai.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Empire, the Northern Yuan Dynasty split into Tatar, Wala, Wuliangha and other tribes. The Tatar tribe has always been in the hands of the orthodox Golden Family. The current Great Khan is Tuotuobuhua, nominally the Great Khan of the entire Mongolia .

Logically speaking, such a meeting must be held by Tuotuobuhua himself.

However, they have long wanted to compete with the Tatars. What a bullshit golden family, the grasslands advocate force, and whoever has more soldiers and horses has the right to speak!

Therefore, he took this opportunity to propose the convening of the Kuliletai Conference, firstly, to unite all the grassland tribes to fight against the Ming army, and secondly, to put pressure on Tuotuobuhua.

If Tuotuobuhua is invited to participate, it means that Yexian's influence has surpassed his sweat.

On the contrary, if he does not participate, then other tribes can immediately become Khan and completely replace the Golden Family.

The grassland was unimpeded, and the five thousand cavalry marched rapidly. After seven days, they had reached Yumu River.

According to Yexian's instructions, Boyan found a place with a water source to set up camp, and at the same time sent scout horses to go ahead to find out information.

Not long after, the horse came to report that the Ming army in front was the old rival [-] Battalion, and it seemed that they had just arrived and were setting up camp.

Boyan weighed in for a moment, and directly issued a combat order.

It's not all because of his haste, because he knows very well that his advantage is cavalry, and the strength of cavalry lies in formation and speed.

The wedge charge tactic invented by Genghis Khan back then was used to conquer the world and was invincible.

Specifically, the troops formed a wedge shape, tore open a gap in the enemy's formation, and then turned around for the next round of charge. Such waves of charge and shooting, usually after three waves, the enemy's formation Already shattered.

But this tactic is only suitable for field battles, and it is difficult to attack cities and villages.

Now that the opponent's camp has not yet been built, it is the best opportunity.

Opportunities are fleeting, and when they are broken, they are subject to chaos!
Boyan took the lead and led the team to charge.

The 5000 people are like a sharp sword, stabbing at the unprepared Ming army!

Cavalry against cavalry, no need to consider firearms, this is a fight of strength!

The humiliation suffered by Tumubao back then, today I want you to repay twice as much!
Li Zhen walked out of the camp and saw the Mongolian cavalry descending from the sky with a smile on her lips.

"The artillery is ready!"

Twenty Franco cannons came out, aiming at the menacing cavalry.

The weight of this kind of artillery is less than one-third of that of the General Cannon, and after disassembly, it can be carried by a horse.

Li Zhen visually measured the distance between the two sides, and in the blink of an eye, the other party had already reached the minefield arranged in advance.

"put!"

Twenty Franco cannons spat out flames, and the fist-sized shells turned into arcs, smashing towards the roaring cavalry phalanx.

Boyan looked flustered when he heard the sky-shaking roar.

Why is the [-] battalion equipped with artillery?
At this point, it is impossible to retreat. Even if the opponent has artillery, at this distance, at most one round of volleys will be fired.

I have 5000 people, even if hundreds or eighty of them die, it will still not affect the tactics.

Boom!

A cannonball flew across the sky, and suddenly exploded after landing, and pieces of iron flew horizontally, killing and injuring everyone immediately.

Immediately after...

Boom!

Boom!

Boyan has already realized that the cannonball this time is not the original iron lump, but a blossoming bullet!

Flower bombs are powerful, but they often explode, killing one thousand enemies and damaging two thousand themselves. Therefore, the Ming army seldom used them on a large scale.

But for some reason, he dared to take out the flower bomb this time.

Seeing explosions sounded again and again, the number of people lost far exceeded expectations.

However, there was no turning back when the bow was opened, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to charge forward.

Boyan secretly made up his mind that the matter has come to this point, even if there are casualties, as long as he rushes to the opponent, the advantage is still on his side.

Cunning southerners, wait to meet death!
