Chapter 1068: Decisive Battle - Baiyi Wei goes into battle

"Great Khan. You are, you better rest. The guard had a worried look on his face.

"When this battle is over, I will take a break and give the opportunity to pursue the defeated soldiers of the Ming army to the generals and see what they are capable of. Especially Shaharu. I will make him the king of the Khitans in the future, and his ability to fight is not high. Timur said.

"But." The guards stopped talking.

"It's nothing, but, help me back to the door of the carriage, I will continue to observe the movements of the Ming army, and command the army to defeat this Ming army." Timur said categorically.

"Yes, Great Khan." The guards could only obey.

Timur's new movements were immediately noticed by Xu Huizu. He quickly gave several orders, but still frowned and looked ahead after those orders were given.

Timur's movements were so unusual that even if he was in a hurry to win, it was impossible for him not to realize that this was a bait he had put on him, and even if he wanted to bite, the whole army would not move. Moreover, this was a decision made on his own, and Timur could not have prepared for it.

"Could it be that Timur is crazy? Now it's someone else commanding the Sirtu? Xu Huizu said something that he didn't believe, and after thinking for a while, he ordered again: "Our army is also pressing." He could not guess Timur's thoughts, and he was worried that the army sent out would suffer a great loss, so he also decided to move forward.

"Is the artillery team rescheduled?" Someone asked.

Xu Huizu glanced at the Xilu cannon, which had no intention of moving, and said, "The artillery team doesn't have to be rearranged. "Although because the vast artillery on the battlefield may need to support many places, staying in one place can not support some places, but his primary purpose is to suppress the artillery of Xilu, as long as Xilu does not move, he will not move for the time being.

But he was still uneasy in his heart. It was only when the Chinese army began to move forward according to his orders that he put aside his worries for a moment and noticed how the Xilu would respond to his trap.

"Fortunately, the method I prepared to defeat Xilu did not rely on this bait, otherwise I would have been even more panicked at this time." Xu Huizu couldn't help but think.

……

……

"Great Khan, the Ming army has also moved." Timur's guard beside him said to him.

"Got it." Timur agreed, turned his head to look at the Chinese army camp where Xu Huizu was, and immediately turned his head again to look at Lan Zhen's headquarters.

Although he thinks that there is a 90 percent chance that Lan Zhen's department is a decoy, there is still a 10 percent chance that it is not a bait, and he still has the hope of annihilating Lan Zhen's department.

But Ming Jun's reaction immediately let him know that Lan Zhen's department was the bait. I saw that the Lan Zhen Division, which was originally fighting fiercely with Yesbu's department, completed the contraction at an extremely fast speed, and put on a formation to deal with the cavalry; Quan Ningwei was also officially put into the battlefield to cooperate with the infantry in battle. At the same time, the left army led by Zhang Fu also rushed up and wanted to cooperate with the Lan Zhen Division.

Timur immediately ordered the armies to begin to change. Taking advantage of their superiority as cavalry, the Western Soldiers adopted flexible tactics, passing by in the vicinity of different Ming formations, looking for weak spots.

Of course, the main generals of the various formations would not wait for Xu Huizu's order to change the formation, not to mention that Xu Huizu would not have time to command. They are constantly adjusting their positions to make up for their weaknesses. However, the Xilu still found weaknesses several times and launched attacks, and on one occasion they were even close to breaking through the Ming army's formation.

Xu Huizu realized Timur's intentions at this time. The cavalry was faster than the infantry, and although most of the time they would not let the horses run, they would attack as soon as they found a possible weakness.

Xu Huizu's eyes were erratic when he looked at this scene, and after a while, he commanded loudly: "Send Baiyi Wei to fight." ”

"Baiyiwei? Xu Huizu, this. "Zhu Shanglie knows that Baiyiwei is an important part of Xu Huizu's battle plan, and now he will dispatch Baiyiwei, this is to start the plan to defeat Xiyu?

"I remember that Your Majesty said that the plan did not change quickly. I had originally wanted Lan Zhen to attract Timur's attention so that I could defeat them. But he did not expect Timur to do this. Now I can only let Baiyiwei dispatch in advance. Xu Huizu said.

"But in this case, will Baiyiwei still be able to fulfill what you told them?" Zhu Shanglie is still not at ease.

"Don't worry," although Xu Huizu himself was not too relieved, he still comforted Zhu Shanglie and said: "The soldiers of Baiyiwei will definitely be able to complete the goal." ”

"I hope so."

……

……

"Lord, the flag came from the Chinese army camp, and ordered our guard to go out and act according to the plan." Beibi Yuanxin saw the flag and said to Zhu Hengshi.

"Don't call me Lord, call me Commander." Zhu Hengshi emphasized it first, and then said: "Order the soldiers to move forward towards the Chinese army where Timur is located. ”

"Lord, commander, although there are many soldiers and horses in the Ming army on the battlefield now, the battle situation is unfavorable, our army will be dispatched at this time, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck."

"It's just a lot of bad luck, but if the whole army doesn't finish what General Xu explained before, it will be ten thousand deaths." Nanmu Fangyuan said.

"This is General Xu's order, how can you not obey it? What's more, what you can think of, how could General Xu not think of it? Zhu Hengshi immediately said to him.

"But," "Nothing! Zhu Hengshi interrupted him: "Obeying orders is the most important thing in the army, and immediately order the soldiers to move." ”

Nanmu Fangyuan didn't dare to argue, but looking at his expression, he knew that he was not convinced. Zhu Hengshi asked Beibi Yuanxin to pass the order, and at the same time, he slowed down his tone and said to him: "Fangyuan, you have just come from China, and you don't know the inside story of the Ming Kingdom. ”

"The Ming Kingdom is different from the domestic one. All the samurai in the country have a high status, and although the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom are not low, they are still incomparable with the samurai in the country. ”

"Moreover, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was very strict with the army, especially when it came to obeying orders. The samurai in the country can oppose the orders of their superiors, but absolutely not in the Ming Kingdom! Especially on the battlefield, the battlefield disobedience will directly put you to death! ”

"Since the Ming Kingdom is like this to the warriors and soldiers, why did we come to the Ming Kingdom to fight for their emperor?" Nanmu Fangyuan asked puzzled.

"Why? Why a Better Life! Zhu Hengshi said in a heavy tone: "Fangyuan, you are a member of the Nanmu family, whether it is the Ashikaga clan or the Genji who is now seeking to usurp the throne, they are all good to your family, not only have their own fiefdoms, but also receive the country's salaries for officials in the court." ”

"But most of the samurai were poor! Staying in the country will not starve to death, but it will only mean that you will not starve. And when you come to Daming to serve the Ming Kingdom, you have also seen the treatment, there is rice to eat at a meal, and meat, for most samurai, it is already a heavenly day. Not to mention that the Ming Kingdom's rewards for meritorious people are much more generous than those of the domestic imperial court! ”

"So I'm going to take them to the Ming Kingdom to fight for the emperor of the Ming Kingdom." He concluded.

Kusunoki Fangyuan was silent. How did he not know what life most of the samurai in the country were doing? Especially the samurai of the original Southern Dynasty were basically about to die of poverty. It is much better to come to Ming than to live at home. He had to accept Zhu Hengshi's words.

At this time, the North Nose Yuanxin had already conveyed the order, and the soldiers of the whole guard were ready to be dispatched at any time. Zhu Hengshi walked among the soldiers and said to them in Fusang language: "Warriors, the enemy in front of you is not only the enemy of the Ming Kingdom, but also the enemy of Fusang. The ideal of the lord of Samarkand was to become another Temujin, the Great Khan of the Mongols who conquered many countries. Even if he conquered the Ming Kingdom, he would never be satisfied, and would definitely attack Fusang like Kublai Khan. ”

"Kublai Khan's two attacks on Fusang were defeated by the kamikaze because he did not attach importance to water warfare, but Samarkand is a country that also attaches great importance to the sea, and has a strong naval army, and after the conquest of the Ming Kingdom, these naval forces will be transferred to the east to deal with Fusang."

"And the Silu are not the same as the Mongols. The Mongols just want the people to submit to them, and the Xilu not only want the people to submit to them, but also to make the people follow their religion, once Fuso is occupied by the Xilu, our culture that has been inherited for 2,000 years will be completely destroyed! ”

"So in order for Fuso not to be occupied, and for the inherited culture not to be destroyed, we have to defeat them here!"

"And during this period of time, the warriors in the Ming Kingdom, whether they have food, clothing, housing and transportation, are much stronger than in the country. Even in order to repay the kindness of the Ming Kingdom, we have to fight hard. ”

"Warriors, follow me forward, and serve the country in seven lives!" Zhu Hengshi finally shouted.

"Seven lives to serve the country!" The crowd echoed.

"Enter!"

……

……

"What are they shouting?" Timur, of course, noticed this unusual movement of the guard immediately.

"Great Khan, they are not speaking Khitan dialect, it should be the language of a country called Fusang on a string of islands east of the Khitan. The meaning of the words they shouted just now is about the meaning of being loyal to the king and fighting for the country. An interpreter beside him said hesitantly. He is a Chinese translator, and he doesn't understand Fusang at all, and the translation just now is completely guessed by himself.

Timur, however, did not realize that he was guessing. It was normal to shout a few such slogans before going into battle, and Timur didn't care, seeing that the soldiers of this guard post were slowly moving forward at this time, as if they were coming straight at him, and said with a smile: "Xu Huizu is going to use this guard post to defeat our army?" ”

The interpreter did not dare to speak. However, Timur only talked to himself, and without waiting for the interpreter to speak, he continued: "This guard must have been used to attract my attention, and the real killing move has not yet been revealed. ”

"But Xu Huizu can give such a heavy responsibility to this single guard, and this guard must not be easy to deal with. He ordered Hamuli to lead his 10,000 cavalry against this guard. If they dare to advance under the threat of cavalry, destroy them: if they form a tight formation to defend against the cavalry, keep them from moving a single step. ”
