Although it is called a bridge, this bridge is shabby, but there happens to be a river passing through it, and the only bad thing is that the river is too shallow and too stingy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Coupled with this weather, the river did not swell, and a lot of silt was exposed at the riverbed.

However, the new army could barely confront the Mongolian army on the other side of the river by taking advantage of this river.

Early in the morning, the Mongols did not hesitate to organize an attack, they probed the water level, chose a shallow place in the river, and tried to rein in the horse and rush directly.

Originally, this kind of rough tactics might be useful when encountering other Ming troops, but this time they encountered the new army, and it seemed that they were in trouble.

Thousands of Mongolian troops roared in, and the speed slowed down after entering the river, while the opposite side was the sound of firecrackers, countless artillery roared, and the charging Mongolian army knew that they were in trouble, they were trapped in the river, they could not advance, they could not retreat, and as a result, they directly became targets, and they retreated at the cost of nearly a thousand casualties.

At this time, the Mongolian army began to re-examine its new opponents, and the new army on the opposite side was obviously different from other Ming armies.

First of all, the enemy on the other side of the river used firearms on a large scale, and not only the ratio of firearms was very high, but also the guns and artillery were several grades higher than those of the border troops.

Second, their tactics are very proficient, although the border army also has a magic machine battalion, but there is no tactics for surnames, or although there are tactics, but because of the training, they cannot be used. But the new army on the other side is different, they are very disciplined, when to fire a salvo, when to fire artillery, it seems to be very regular.

This is the deadliest, even if the Mongols have the courage to brave the rain of bullets, but the war horse is different, the war horse is the most easily frightened, once frightened, it is difficult to control.

Coupled with this river that is not spacious and not turbulent, although the Mongols are not good at water, they are not even able to wade through such a river, but now it is different, and now that they have encountered such a Ming army, the problem seems to be a bit big.

Subsequently, the Mongol army organized several more attacks, but they were all in vain. In this case, they chose to wait and see for the time being, which gave the Ming army on the opposite side a chance to breathe, and the new army immediately began to move, digging trenches in an area of more than 20 miles to establish a temporary barn, and buried in many places in the dark mines, the so-called dark mines, in fact, are similar to the mines of later generations, but because of the restrictions of the times, I am afraid that they are inferior to the home-made bombs of later generations, but once this thing explodes, it may not be able to effectively kill the enemy, but it can always make the enemy's war horses frightened, and the first thing to deal with cavalry is to deal with war horses, Therefore, it is quite cheerful for the new army to be buried.

In addition to this, there are tripping and rejection of horses against war horses, and even on the wings, a large number of traps are prepared.

Liu Chengfeng was determined to spend time with the Mongols here, the longer the time dragged on, the safer the Jingshi would be, and the Mongols would go deep into the pass, and it would definitely be more difficult to provide for them, so it would be beneficial for him to drag it out.

However, in everyone's hearts, there is still some discouragement, Liu Chengfeng is still inquiring about the emperor's news, he is not a foolish and loyal person, but he only remembers the promise he made to the first emperor.

On the other side of the river, more and more Mongol armies have arrived, starting with only a few thousand, and in the next few days, a steady stream of gatherings, the number has reached nearly 100,000.

They set up camp on the other side of the river and were ready to confront the New Army.

However, the confrontation between the new army and the Mongolian army was determined to delay time, while the confrontation between the Mongolian army was constantly looking for fighters.

In the big tent of the Mongolian army, the Persian carpet is a bookcase on the left and right, and there are many Han books in the bookcase. Mixed with the smell of musk, on several cases, two people sat opposite each other, playing chess seriously.

On the left sat a woman, plump and fair-skinned, wearing a loose Mongolian cotton skirt with gold threads that only the top nobles had, her beautiful eyes focused on the chess game, her lips pursed lightly, and her teeth biting.

On the right is a young man in a Mongolian robe, the young man is quite heroic, but with a little childishness, he seems to have been forced to a dead end in the seventh game, so his brows are deeply furrowed, looking depressed.

"No, no more." The boy began to play tricks.

The woman smiled slightly, pinched the sunspot that was about to fall in her hand and put it down casually, her temper was surprisingly good, and said, "How?" The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as Ben Khan, he can't fight with real guns and swords, and he can't do chess, His Majesty the Emperor, how many games have you lost? ”

The boy is Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's face was full of indignation, his luck was really not good, he finally escaped to Jixian County, and was about to fight a decisive battle with the Mongols, but who knew that the Mongols had already launched an offensive, and before he could use all his methods, he became a prisoner.

However, the treatment of the prisoners seems to be good, at least the Mongolian Khan is very good to him, in addition to not escaping, he can move freely, and even the Mongolian Khan also allows the captives of the Han people to accompany Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao is less and less conscious of the prisoners, but feels a little novel, every time he eats mare's milk wine, eats beef and mutton, and is happy.

All he wants is to be free, and here, it seems to be quite comfortable.

But he was very unconvinced, but there was no way to take this woman, this woman seemed to be his natural nemesis, she lost the battle, and she was killed by her without leaving a piece of armor, and what was even more odious was that every word she said was-for-tat, but Zhu Houzhao had no way to take her.

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "So what, even if you win against me, but you can't beat Master Liu, Master Liu is on the other side of the river now, if you have the ability, take someone to rush over to take a look." Although the Mongolian iron cavalry is the best in the world, the new army of the Ming Dynasty is not vegetarian. ”

Li Ruofan yawned lazily, personally picked up the chess pieces scattered on the coffee table, and said, "Really?" Not necessarily. ”

Zhu Houzhao cheered up: "You said it may not be, but why did you not move?" ”

Li Ruofan said: "The use of soldiers is nothing more than taking advantage of loopholes, and it can't be forced, although the Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible, but it can't be forced." For example, if you have many passes in the Ming Dynasty, would Ben Khan be stupid enough to attack your passes head-on? Ben Khan is not interested, Ben Khan only needs to give an inducement, he can drill a loophole in Shanhaiguan, the effect is many times better than a strong attack, so to deal with these new armies, Ben Khan also intends to take advantage of the loophole, they just rely on the river to hold on, it looks solid, but it is not. The reason why Ben Khan did not move was not because he was afraid of your master Liu, but because he first waited and saw what loopholes could be exploited. ”

Zhu Houzhao was deeply taught, it turned out that this battle was not the same as he thought, not only with bravery to fight, but also to be good at drilling camps, he couldn't help asking: "Do you think of where there is a hole to drill?" ”

Li Ruofan yawned, his slightly red eyes trembled, and said with a smile: "You guy, did you come to visit me?" ”

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said seriously: "It's just to ask, besides, I am now your prisoner, even if I find out something, what can I do?" Just wanted to see how you deal with Master Liu. ”

Li Ruofan said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, in fact, it's very simple, I already plan to send a cavalry to bypass this river from the flank and attack on the side." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Master Liu, can't you think that when you go around, he will already be solemn, don't you know how powerful the new army is?" ”

Li Ruofan smiled again and said: "Ben Khan just asked him to be solemn, and when he waited solemnly for the iron cavalry on the flank, Ben Khan was determined to break through from the front." ”

Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought, and said in a deep voice: "It is a good idea to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, but if you wade through the river, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small." ”

Li Ruofan laughed again, and when he laughed, a red glow rose on his cheeks, and said: "So Ben Khan has another way, that is, to drive the prisoners of the Ming army in front, even if your master Liu attacks, the biggest casualties are your Ming army itself." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "You are too insidious, this ...... This...... Master Liu won't let you succeed. ”

Li Ruofan stroked the messy hair in front of his forehead, and smiled: "Of course he won't let me succeed, this stinky man is very hard-hearted, and he doesn't even want his own son, let alone those captives." But I still have a way, and I intend to ask Your Majesty to go and clear the way for our warriors, and then I will see if they dare to fire cannons and guns. ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, this is no longer insidious to describe, first pretended to attack the flank, transferred a part of the new army, and then expelled the surrendered troops to cross the river first to block the fire and artillery for them, and finally filled himself, who dared to act rashly in the new army on the other bank, and waited until the Mongolian army crossed the river with coercion...... The consequences are unimaginable.

"Hey......" Li Ruofan sighed, glanced at the stunned Zhu Houzhao with his eyebrows, and said: "Of course, Ben Khan thinks that you are quite interesting and will not let you take risks, so I didn't really drive you across the river, but let a person wear your dragon robe to cross the river, no matter whether the people on the other side believe it or not, they don't dare to act rashly." ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "It seems that Master Liu is going to lose." ”

Li Ruofan gritted his teeth and said: "Of course he wants to lose, doesn't he always think that he is the best in the world?" It's to give him some color to see, by the way, when I enter the Central Plains, let him be my courtier, Your Majesty the Emperor, you don't have to be afraid, I won't treat you badly, and when I Mongolia enters the world, I won't spoil your surname, so it's better to give you a Dongduan Marquis. ”

"The Marquis ......of Dongdu" Zhu Houzhao burst into tears and said, "I actually want to be the generalissimo who is in charge of the world's military horses. ”

This time it was Li Ruofan's turn to sneer: "You dare to bargain as a deposed emperor, the matter is so decided, you are the Marquis of Dongdu, and your Master Liu is Nan Choubo, which just fulfills you." ”
