Volume 4 Wants to Compare West Lake to Xizi Chapter 323 Emperor Meng
On the battlefield, Zhu Di rode a huge battle body, wearing a treasure and holding a long hand, and was majestic. He didn't pretend to be a showman, but rushed to the front, and had already cut down several of the Warat cavalry. Although there are guards who sacrifice their lives to protect them, it is still very dangerous to have no swords on the battlefield.
Zhu Di is an emperor who can work hard, and he has been a pioneer again and again, and he has been besieged many times. Now that he is the imperial capital, it is the destiny of heaven, and he personally raised his knife to cut this fierce strength, and the emperors of the previous dynasties claimed to be the first, and no one dared to fight for the first.
But does anyone want to? You are already a fierce general under the command of the emperor, how do you need to go into battle in person? The answer is, just like when Jing was martyred, he shook the imperial court with the strength of an army, and millions of people would not follow him at all, and now that he is the emperor, Zhu Di certainly doesn't want to fight anymore, but he still has a reason to fight......
Because the tactics of the Ming army were very complex, first lure the enemy with infantry, and then replace it with the Shenji Battalion for a while, when the opponent was stunned, the heavy cavalry on both wings of the enemy launched a clamp, and at the same time, the Shenji Battalion withdrew, and the most powerful cavalry battalion of the battle 3,000 battalions marched from the front, and surrounded the opponent with the five military battalions and Long Xiangwei.
In fact, in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, Chang Yu, Chūn, Lan Yu, etc., could completely suppress the Mongols by relying only on cavalry, and the cavalry could defeat the other party with a single rush, and there was no need to be so complicated at all. However, the well-to-do life of the Ming Dynasty for decades weakened the officers and soldiers, and it was difficult to win against the Mongols right away. It was precisely because Zhu Di was keenly aware of this that he introduced guns and artillery and used sophisticated warfare to re-establish his superiority over the Mongol cavalry.
However, whether it is guns or complex warfare, it is essential for soldiers to have extremely high requirements, fearless courage and good execution. To put it bluntly, they must show the general level of their usual training on the battlefield, and once they fail to implement their tactics, they will become lifting stones to shoot themselves, and they will first mess up their positions without the enemy coming.
Zhu Di's own family knew that there was no such great thing as Xu Da and Lan Yu in the Ming Dynasty, so that the soldiers could not even have a super-level hair, but only Zhang Fu, but he was in Jiaozhiping, so he had to personally use the emperor's dignity to inspire the courage of the soldiers.
Although this trick is risky, it definitely works, and what can inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers more than the emperor himself lifting a knife and slashing? Seeing Zhu Di taking the lead and rushing to the generals, which one dared to flinch? All of them are dressed in battle, carrying knives and Warats, and the soldiers are even more bloody, even the emperor is not afraid, what else do we have to fear? It's worth dying with such an old age
The grass that suddenly lost its temperature has turned into a murderous slaughter, everyone has forgotten about life, and only knows that the mechanical waving of soldiers brings up flying blood, stumps, and flesh are floating all over the sky, and at this time people have not become murderous beasts. Even if he fell off his horse, he still fought fiercely, and if he was gone, he would hold the enemy and bite it with his teeth and kick it with his feet until he died......
The grass has long been trampled into thin and eerie purple and black with blood, and the air on the battlefield is disgusting, suffocating, and terrifying
The battle turned into a twist and turned into a will, and it depends on who has stronger nerves on both sides, who can endure sacrifices more, and who can hold out until victory
The high mountain in the rear of the Warat army, Mahamu, was already white-faced, and muttered in his mouth: "No, not like this, not so", this war was started according to his train of thought from the beginning, until the end, the previous one was still smooth, but everything was reversed at the last moment
In his plan, this should be an ambush, an annihilation, 30,000 iron cavalry swooping from a high place, and the rolling torrent destroys the Ming army. However, now that the army rushed down, not only did not rush the other party to a pulp, but was caught in a struggle by the three loaves of others
He guessed the opening or not, but he was already able to see the result...... The combat effectiveness of the Ming army has retreated, but the combat effectiveness of the Mongols has deteriorated even more, and they are no longer the whip of God of Genghis Khan. Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it has been continuously defeated in the hands of the Han people, and it has long lost the pride of the sky, and the Ming army is the emperor who is taking the lead in cutting the emperor, and the soldiers will naturally die
"I can't fight anymore." Taiping's tribe was arranged to take the lead, and the loss was the greatest: "Once the infantry of the Ming army outflanked us, they were surrounded, and everyone could not escape"
"The Ming army is encircling three ......," Ma Hamu gritted his teeth and said: "The purpose is to let us withdraw, and as soon as we withdraw, the defeat is already decided."
"How can it be," Taiping hurriedly said loudly: "Our retreat speed is faster than that of the Ming army, when it is regrouped, we will fight with the Ming army, and drag them to death."
"Second brother has a point." Boluo can't look down on the dream of dominating the grassland, although it is tempting, but in the grassland where the weak eat the strong, it is the first place to preserve strength, "don't forget that there is also Arutai"
Mahamu was originally stiff, and when he heard the three Arutai ascending, he was already unable to achieve the expected complete victory, at most, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 himself, what is the meaning of such a victory? will be taken advantage of by Arutai to die
"Give the order," the two younger brothers begged him bitterly, and finally said in despair, "Withdraw"
The whining horn sounded, and the Warat cavalry, which had long been unable to support it, turned their horses' heads one after another, and was about to say, "How is it a nation on horseback?" In addition to the other armies, the cavalry of Warat not only did not touch the horses, but also pulled the fallen tribesmen to their horses and retreated with jaw-dropping speed.
Even more amazing was to come, and when I rushed out of the ten miles, I saw endless horses grazing there quietly...... Each of the Mongol cavalrymen had a few horses that kept on the attack, and they just snorted, and the horses followed them, and the horses automatically found their heads, and the Varat knights changed at high speed, and ran away at a higher speed, which was simply amazing.
Gao Shan saw that most of his subordinates were relieved to get rid of the brothers, and Ma Hamu said to the two younger brothers: "What you said is to stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, let's retreat to Tieshan and talk about it."
"Hmm." Taiping and Boluo also rode on the crowd of guards and quickly disappeared on the battlefield.
The battle was fierce but short-lived, and by noon the Varat army had withdrawn. The Ming army beheaded dozens of its princes, killed and wounded more than 10,000 Warat troops, such a glorious battle was even worse than the eight years of Yongle, but Zhu Di was not satisfied, and categorically issued a pursuit order, and then personally led the three thousand who changed the war horses to catch up with the buttocks of the Wara army
The morale of the Ming army was so high that seeing that the emperor had chased after him, the other generals naturally could not be left behind, and they changed horses and led the cavalry to pursue at full speed...... Is there anything more enjoyable in the world than beating someone into the water? This is tantamount to picking up war exploits for nothing
As a result, there was a spectacular scene of tens of thousands of cavalry in front and tens of thousands of cavalry chasing behind in the steppe at noon. In this way, they chased and rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky
Ma Hamu and his subordinates were depressed, thinking that the Ming army symbolized xìng's chase, but they didn't know that Lu Dao was like a mad dog, biting them to death and not letting go. It is said that escaping should be their strength, but being chased and being chased are two completely different kinds, and the party that is being chased does not dare to relax for a moment, and the psychological pressure is too great.
Fortunately, they still had the upper hand in horsemanship, and by noon they had gradually pulled away, and they arrived at the back of Iron Mountain, which was a hundred miles away from dusk, and there was no trace of the Ming army.
From noon to the next day, they had escaped a hundred times, all of them tired, and Mahamu decided to rest in Tieshanzha to listen to the news.
The news soon arrived, and the panicked scouts galloped in: "The Ming army has arrived within ten miles
"What?" Mahamu was roasting a lamb when he dropped his leg of lamb on the ground.
"Big, let's run away...... Oh, let's go," Taiping and Boro said hurriedly.
"Just here you will meet them on the mountain," Mahamu had his own considerations...... This war has attracted the attention of the world, how can I be so embarrassed in the future? He mustered up courage and prepared to take advantage of the Ming army's fatigue to win and save a little face before running.
"Still fighting?" The faces of the two younger brothers have changed.
"I'm afraid that there is our battalion here, and they are all riding gods, and the battalion is impossible to rush here." Ma Hamu said: "And we are in the mountains, they want to fight, we have to go down, once those maces are down, they will become tired, our sabre is still light, how can we not win."
"Makes sense...... the two younger brothers were persuaded but muttered in their hearts, you were so sure last time...... However, the reason why they are together is actually because they are confident that they can escape. What if you can't escape?
"Okay, let's hurry up and end the formation," Mahamu stood up and gritted his teeth, "This is going to be a shame."
