Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

The battle between the rogue bandits and the Mongols was in full swing, and Lu Mou's army rushed to the battlefield.

The exhausted bandits, who had suffered heavy losses, looked at the Ming army hesitantly. Groups appeared on the horizon, with the cavalry advancing steadily and the infantry advancing sonorously.

The Mongols also stopped fighting. The army of the Ming Dynasty came. The Ming Dynasty was the sworn enemy of the Qing Dynasty. Commander Qu of King Turgut asked: "Your Majesty, who are we fighting now?"

The Mongolian prince took a deep breath: "The bandits are our enemies, and the Ming Dynasty is also our mortal enemy. We will fight against everyone."

Li Jin and Li You asked Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi: "The Ming army is coming, who should we fight?"

Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yaoqi replied in unison: "Mongolia is our mortal enemy, and the Ming army is also our mortal enemy. We will fight them all."

While marching, Wu Sangui, Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Changxun, He Wenzhao, and Qi Fei asked: "Prince Regent, who should we fight?"

Lu Mou said coldly: "The Mongols, who are already part of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, are our mortal enemies, and the rogue bandits are also our enemies. But if the rogue bandits don't break out and march westward, we will fight the Mongols. Once the rogue bandits break out westward, we will fight them all." "

The river in the grassland was not deep, but it was wide. The Ming army did not stop advancing. They waded straight through the knee-deep Guimao River and blocked the way of the rogue bandits heading west.

At this time, the Mongols did not launch a half-crossing attack because there were more than 300,000 rogue bandits around them.

The rogue bandits did not launch a half-crossing attack because there were Mongolians eyeing them beside them. No one dares to act rashly.

The two sides just watched the Ming army's 60,000 cavalry and 90,000 infantry calmly walking towards the battlefield, forming a three-legged situation with the Mongols and rogue bandits.

The battlefield situation is now clear. The Ming army has the smallest number, but it is a fresh force with well-equipped equipment and high morale.

But the rogue bandits were blocked and eager to return home.

The Mongols were full of hatred for Lu Mou's massacre of the Three Karaqin Banners. Even if they quit, they knew that since Lu Mou was here, they would not retreat easily. It would be better to take advantage of the melee between the three parties, kill him, and let him retreat after being severely injured.

The wind in the grassland began to get stronger, howling and sweeping the three war flags. No one on either side wanted to move first, and neither could move first. Because as long as you move first, you will immediately be attacked by the other side behind you, becoming a two-on-one enemy.

The current situation is that one party cannot retreat, one party dares not retreat, and the other party has just arrived and does not want to retreat.

The three parties have all tried their best and have no reinforcements.

As a result, a strange scene appeared on this battlefield. Counting those lying on the ground, a million troops formed a powerful force, standing here, staring with big eyes and small eyes.

The commander-in-chief of the three armies was depressed. Did everyone come here just to look at each other with big eyes and small eyes?

How about we set up camp? It would be easier for everyone to stare at each other in their own campsites.

Looking at the sky, Lu Mou said relaxedly: "It's still early to go to bed, and we can still fight for a while. Let's not waste time, let's fight."

Wu Sangui asked: "Who should we attack first?"

All the soldiers looked at Lu Mou.

"Brothers are fighting. If there are foreign enemies, let's put down our grudges first. Let's deal with the outside world first. Zhu Changxun."

"The end will be here."

"Can you stop the rogue bandits from advancing westward with your 30,000-strong Fifth Army?"

Zhu Changxun glanced at the men, women, and children among the dark bandits: "Prince Regent, although I can, we are a royal family. Attacking the common people will ruin the reputation of our royal family. Therefore, I request to attack the Mongols." Lu Mou pondered. After a moment: "You are right. Xu Jie, acting commander of the Second Army, and He Wenzhao, commander of the Third Army."

The two of them grinned. Zhu Changxun had an excuse, but we didn't.

He glared at Zhu Changxun fiercely, stood up and said, "The general is here."

"Use the combined strength of your two armies to stop the rogue bandits from going to the west to break through. Remember, the rogue bandits are not allowed to attack until they break out of the encirclement. If the rogue bandits break out of the encirclement, they must be shouted three times to surrender their guns but not killed. Anyone who advances further, regardless of age or sex, will be shot to death."

"Yes."

"Wu Sangui, Qi Fei, you have two troops of 60,000, and attack the Mongols with all your strength. The fifth army will follow up after the uncle opens the gap. Let's attack the Mongols first."

Several generals said in unison: "Your order."

All the second and third armies immediately lined up, mounted their cannons, raised their flintlock rifles, and stared at the rogue bandits.

Yuan Zongdi smiled bitterly: "His puppet king is determined to prevent us from returning to Shaanxi. He is going to completely annihilate us here. Huh? What are their cavalry going to do?"

The cavalry of the Ming Army had already set up their charge formation, raised their shields, and raised their three-eyed muskets, ready to charge.

However, their target was not themselves, but the Mongols to the north.

Yuan Zongdi was confused as to who the puppet king was going to fight.

Hao Yaoqi was also confused. He ran over and asked, "Old Yuan, what's going on?"

Yuan Zongdi looked at Guan Ning who started to accelerate slowly and could only guess: "The Manchus are the mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty. I guess the puppet king wants to take advantage of us to have a bloody fight with the Mongols. The Mongols will be exhausted and suffer heavy losses." When the time comes, take the opportunity to annihilate the main Mongolian force."

"Isn't his target ours? Isn't he afraid that there will be another fight between the two of them, and we will give him a knife and the fisherman will benefit?"

At this time, Yuan Zongdi said what he once said to Lu Mou: "I once told the puppet king that when the Manchu Qing invaded the capital, if the Ming army continued to ignore the people as before, then I He will take care of it for them. This is like brothers fighting against each other and resisting foreign humiliation together. That sentence seems to be well accepted by the false king."

Hao Yaoqi didn't understand this old saying, but he had been in battle for a long time, and he could seize battlefield opportunities in an instant. He thought this was Lu Mou being stupid: "Then let's rush over while he and the Mongols are fighting to a certain extent. Join forces with the Qing army and destroy our great enemy."

Yuan Zongdi glanced at him: "Then what happens after we destroy the Ming army?"

"This -" After destroying the Ming army, he had to face the Mongols again.

"We faced the Ming army, and the people surrendered. If the puppet king acted like a man, he would not kill our relatives. And when we faced the Mongols, if we did not win, our entire army would be annihilated."

Hao Yaoqi looked at the people around him, who already had a strong desire to survive, and nodded silently.

"We don't care about them, let's take the opportunity to break out."

Yuan Zongdi looked at Guan Ning, who had begun to charge, and said leisurely: "The army in front is blocking us. Even if we rush out, as long as their side wins, no matter who wins, we will not be able to escape their cavalry pursuit. And inside the Great Wall, we We are enemies, but outside the Great Wall, we are compatriots and brothers. Therefore, I want to observe and help him when necessary."

Hao Yaoqi was so surprised by Yuan Zongdi's decision that his jaw dropped to the ground. What did you think?

"I don't care what you decide, I'm going to take the opportunity to break out."

Then he took his remaining soldiers and launched the first charge against the Ming army's blocking line. (End of chapter)
