The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 155 Battle

There are more and more news gathered by the Mongolian scouts. Zhaozong gathered here and got a general idea of ​​the reality of the Tulahe Ming army.

Summoned by Zhang Kuo Timur, Harazhang, Manzi and others, Zhaozong shared the news.

"There are tens of thousands of Ming troops in Tula River, but the exact number of Ming troops has not been ascertained. For some reason, the scouts of the Ming army can always spot our scouts from a distance, and they cannot get close, but there is no sign of moving out."

"I know one thing, the Ming army has a thing called a telescope, which can detect the movement of our army from a very far distance, but unfortunately it was not captured, and it was never observed."

"This is troublesome. The army is mobilized. If it is still the same as last time, the Ming army will flee, so there is nothing like it."

"There is no trace of the Ming army moving out, and it may be that they intend to fight us decisively. In my opinion, if the Ming army is ready for a quick battle and the entire army is assembled, [-] versus [-], I have the advantage. If I run away, I can disrupt the deployment of the Ming army and look for opportunities."

"Your Majesty, what Manzi said has some truths. There will be a battle sooner or later. I hope His Majesty will make a decision soon."

Zhaozong sat on the dragon chair, thinking quietly, and everyone in the hall was silent, only waiting for Zhaozong's order.

Zhaozong was under a lot of pressure. In the original history, Zhaozong used Wang Baobao to defeat Xu Da's Central Route Army together with He Zongzhang.

Let Meng Yuan take a breather, hold the cloud land in his hand, Liaodong and the vast prairie, and he can still fight against the Ming army, so the foundation is still there.

The current battle with Xu Da's army has greatly weakened Meng Yuan's vitality, and he has lost troops and generals, barely gathering an army of [-].

If this battle is defeated, maybe you can go east to Liaodong to survive, but it is meaningless.

"According to my decree, a large army will be formed today, and three thousand soldiers will be left to guard the forest, and the rest will follow me to the battle."

"Kou Kuo Timur led the central army, led [-] cavalry, and went straight to the middle."

"Halazhang led the left army and led [-] cavalry to outflank the left flank."

"The barbarians led the right army and led [-] cavalry to form an encirclement from the right flank."

"In this battle, I will live and die with all the soldiers, and there will be death and no life."

"According to the order."

What Zhaozong said was a bit tragic, and Wang Baobao, Harazhang Manzi and others didn't want to say anything, they would die if they won't win, and saying anything was superfluous.

Everything was carried out in silence, each led the soldiers and horses, prepared the dry food needed for the march, and just happened to eat back and forth one by one.

It doesn't matter how much, either defeat the Ming army and get some supplements from it, or be defeated by the Ming army, and the Mongolian Yuan dissipated and became history.

The city gate of Helin was opened wide, and the three armies swore to set off, and the people who came to see him off were all silent.

It is a good thing that your majesty has the belief in this decisive battle, but in the end, there are still too many defeats. It is still unknown how many people will come back alive after the war.

I can only pray for the blessing of Changshengtian in my heart, and hope that the family members in the army will return safely.

The three armies set out to march, mighty and mighty, Zhaozong followed Wang Baobao to sit in the central army and galloped on horses.

In less than two days, they had already marched to the Tula River, and the spies from both sides were fighting fiercely.

Scouts die silently in this grassland every moment.

Even with the help of telescopes, the Ming army could watch from a distance, but to obtain more specific information, it still needed to go deep into the sphere of influence of the Yuan army.

In Li Wenzhong's tent, scouts came to report the Yuan army's movements every now and then.

"Report, the Yuan army is still a hundred miles away from our army, and traces of the Yuan army have been found on the left and right."

"Can you find out the number of Yuan troops?"

"The Yuan army moved very fast. Since dawn, we have discovered the movement of the Yuan army. After investigation, the Yuan army went straight to our army. The search horses can only get a glimpse of the Yuan army's generals."

"There are about [-] to [-] people in the middle, and the number of Yuan troops coming from the left and right is [-] to [-]."

"Understood, let's explore again."

"The Yuan army is coming in a menacing manner. It seems that they can't wait any longer. What do you guys think?"

"From the point of view of the general, this nearly [-] army is the last strength of the Mongolian Yuan army. The Yuan army who came here is in the last desperate struggle. We only need to defeat them, and the north will be safe from now on."

"The general won a big victory before. We walked along the road, but we didn't find any signs of the army's mobilization. The distance should not be far from Helin. The Yuan army began to jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Yeah, since the general has disappeared, the opportunity is not lost, Meng Yuan wants to fight to the death, why should we refuse, the general will call for a fight."

"It's the same with me. Our army from the East has come all the way, and we haven't had a decent battle yet. The swords in the waists of the soldiers are already hungry and thirsty. Please, the general decides."

"In that case, let's fight."

After so many days of repairing, everything that should be prepared has been prepared. Since the Yuan army came to attack with a large army, Li Wenzhong and a group of generals were not afraid.

The Ming army was never afraid of confronting the Yuan army head-on. What they were afraid of was that the Yuan army would run away if they couldn't beat them.

Arranging troops in formation, the left and right sides have prepared well, and they are trapped in the horse pit. The light cavalry is in front to attract firepower, and the heavy cavalry is behind to stand ready.

The gunfire soldiers stood behind Qingqi, and only waited for the Yuan army to approach, and a round of volleys first shot them on their backs.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Yuan army suffered a dull loss. Li Wenzhong waited for work with ease, unlike Xu Da who led the army to rush forward, and his state was not the same.

After being fired by a volley of gunfire soldiers, the Yuan army lost many troops.

Then they were heavily ridden forward, chopping melons and vegetables, because the Yuan army was guarding against thunder, and the formation was a bit sparse.

The difference in combat forces was not that big. During the battle, the casualties of the Yuan army were very high. One-on-one was no different from delivering food, and it was weakened by Xu Da.

The Ming army became more courageous as they fought, while the morale of the Yuan army gradually declined.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Wang Baobao of the Chinese army hurriedly said to Zhaozong.

"Your Majesty, the form is wrong. I don't have that much time to spy on the reality of the Ming army. When the whole army is on top of me, I don't give the opponent time to breathe."

"What about Thunderbolt?"

"Crowd up, as long as they enter the Ming army's formation, the Ming army must have scruples, and Zhen Tianlei may not be useful."

"Just as you said."

Since Emperor Zhaozong agreed, Wang Baobao had no more worries, and the form could not be considered.

He quickly ordered the whole army to press up together, and the pressure was placed on Li Wenzhong.

Even though the Ming army was not afraid of death, it would be a bit difficult to fight two against one. The plan to consume the strength of the Yuan army first and hit the opponent's morale was in vain.

The gunfire soldiers were often coaxed by the cavalry of the Yuan army before they had time to fire a few rounds, smashing the fire gun soldiers into pieces.

Seeing this, Li Wenzhong adjusted his formation, and did not follow the Yuan army's fancy routines.

Put the heavy cavalry directly in front, and the light cavalry waits for an opportunity to move.

The battlefield at this time is like a meat grinder, devouring the lives of both the enemy and our soldiers.

The Ming army was brave and fearless, and the Yuan army had the blessing of Emperor Zhaozong's personal conquest. The battle between the two sides entered a fierce stage, and only one side showed signs of decline.
