Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 941 Daming also lies down and wins

The upper reaches of the Hubei River, the camp of the Ming army.

Cao Bianjiao stood on a high observation deck and turned his binoculars to scan the grassland in the south, with a serious expression on his face.

He had sent scouts to explore the south, and the enemy was in the hilly basin more than two hundred miles away from them.

He also has a good understanding of the enemy's situation, and there are only more than 20 people and less than [-] people.

However, the more than [-] does not refer to more than [-] cavalry, but refers to the total of more than [-] men, women and children.

As for the enemy's cavalry, it would cost only [-] to [-] to die.

To be honest, this small number of people is nothing in front of the elite of the hundred thousand martial arts battalion.

They don't even need Dai Zi rifles to easily defeat the enemy, and with [-] Dai Zi rifles, they can easily crush them.

However, he did not slack off.

He still does his duty every day, and from time to time, he climbs up to the observation deck to take a look.

He also sent out the scouts from the Shenwu Battalion to guard day and night within tens of miles outside the camp to prevent sneak attacks from the enemy.

This is a habit he has developed over the years of fighting. Regardless of the strength of the enemy, he takes it seriously and never slackens.

He was scanning the front when the general of the Shenwu Battalion who was in charge of guarding behind him suddenly put down his binoculars, bowed his hands and said, "Report, my lord, ten flying dragon warships and hundreds of Spike warships are coming from the north."

So many ships?
Who is here?
Cao Bianjiao immediately turned around, took the binoculars from the commander of the Shenwu Battalion and lifted them up to scan the temporary port wharf.

At this time, the Flying Dragon battleship had already approached the pier, and thousands of royal guards immediately swarmed down to protect the pier tightly.

My God, the emperor is here!
He hastily put the binoculars back into the hands of the general of the Shenwu Battalion, and said in a loud voice: "You are here to be vigilant."

After finishing speaking, he raised his feet and ran under the watchtower.

At this moment, Taichang had already taken Zhu Cihong by the hand, and took Yuan Keli, Wang Chengen and others off the boat.

Zhu Cihong was so excited that he was bouncing around while walking.

Because this is the first time he has been to the battlefield to watch the battle.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but asked with a smile: "How is it, Hong'er, are you afraid?"

Zhu Cihong shook his head again and again and said: "Don't be afraid, grandson, the Ming army is invincible in the world, and they will definitely win."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then taught: "It's good for you to have such confidence, but you can't be blindly confident.

If you have the opportunity to go on a personal expedition in the future, you must understand everything clearly before going to the battlefield in person.

You are an emperor, and when you go to the battlefield, you must win the game. Otherwise, the soldiers will take care of your safety, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Zhu Cihong nodded quickly and said, "Grandson understands."

But Taichang suddenly sighed: "I hope you won't go to the battlefield again after you become the throne, I will definitely create a peaceful and prosperous world for you."

He really didn't want his children and grandchildren to go to the battlefield again.

However, just in case, he still brought the emperor's grandson Zhu Cihong to experience it on the battlefield.

In this way, if there is a real war in the future, his precious grandson will not be in a hurry or even flustered.

He was lamenting that Cao Bianjiao had already galloped here with a group of guards on horseback.

After paying respects to the monarchs and ministers, Taichang solemnly said: "What's the matter, Bianjiao, what's the enemy doing?"

Cao Bianjiao said without hesitation: "The enemy is gathering all the animals in a big basin, and I don't know whether they are going to fight or flee."

This is really unclear.

Taichang thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's get on the boat and talk to the map."

When Cao Bianjiao heard the words, he quickly followed him on board the Flying Dragon Battleship.

At this moment, there is already a huge map on the big table in front of the Flying Dragon battleship. This map includes not only the Hubei River Basin but also the Yeni River Basin.

Taichang scratched his fingers on the map, and then asked, "Where are the enemies gathering?"

Cao Bianjiao quickly pointed to a place about two hundred miles away from their camp and said, "They are gathering in this basin."

This position also happened to be on the north bank of the next tributary.

If the enemy wants to run, they can only run east.

Because the west is the Hubei River, the south is the mountains, and there is a tributary in the middle.

And that tributary is not narrow, at least hundreds of feet wide, the enemy may be able to find a way to cross the river if they travel lightly, but it is impossible to cross such a wide river with 10,000+ people.

Taichang thought about it carefully, and then asked again: "Has the enemy discovered your camp?"

Cao Bianjiao shook his head without any hesitation and said, "No, I have scout cavalry all around the camp for tens of miles, and the enemy's scout cavalry can't get close at all."

It seems that these guys really might want to go all out.

Taichang carefully looked at the map again, and then said decisively: "In this way, you send half of the troops to block the east side first, and then you lead the remaining half of the troops to rush directly there.

You don't have to worry about the west and south. I will let the navy ships block all the rivers, and they will definitely not be able to get through. "

Cao Bianjiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said, "Go back and prepare. After two hours, launch an attack."

Uh, why wait two hours before attacking?
They were cavalry, and they set up their formations very quickly, and it took less than half an hour.

Cao Bianjiao is really a bit inexplicable.

However, he bowed his hands and resigned, and rode back to the camp to prepare to go.

Taichang looked at his back, and then ordered: "Liqing, immediately order all the Spike warships to dispatch to block the main trunk of the Hubei River and the southern tributary."

Yuan Keli quickly ordered people to put up a banner, summoned the navy general and explained in detail.

Taichang didn't say anything, until Yuan Keli finished explaining, and the navy general also went back to command the Spike warship to drive towards the main line of the Hubei River. Then he waved and said: "Command, all Jinyiwei board the boat, let's go to the south tributary to see .”

Well, that tributary to the south is where the enemy lives!

Yuan Keli thought for a while, but still dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous!"

Taichang smiled slightly and said, "What's the danger? Could it be that their bows and arrows can still pierce the armor of the Flying Dragon Battleship?"

Well, bows and arrows can't pierce aluminum alloy armor, and ordinary artillery can't pierce it.

It seems that the emperor is determined to go and have a look.

Yuan Keli had no choice but to command ten flying dragon warships to rush towards the tributary to the south.

The reason why Taichang asked Cao Bianjiao to wait two hours before attacking was to let Zhu Cihong take a good look at the actual combat scene.

The speed of the flying dragon battleship was quite fast. In less than two hours, they turned to the tributary to the south and came to the river channel south of the enemy's populated area.

At this moment, the river channel was already densely covered with spiked warships, let alone crossing the river, the enemy dared not even approach the river bank within a few miles.

Seeing this, Taichang simply ordered someone to move the two large telescopes on the bow to his sides, and ordered someone to bring a chair, and then he beckoned: "Li Qing, Hong'er, come here, let's take a good look at this How do you fight battles?"

What's so good about this?

Yuan Keli walked over respectfully, pretending to be in front of the telescope, seemingly very interested.

In fact, he wasn't very interested in it at all.

Because he has experienced too many big battles, he really has no interest in these small scenes of tens of thousands of people fighting.

Zhu Cihong was different, he ran over in a desperate manner, opened his hands to let Taichang hold him on the chair, and then moved his binoculars to scan the front.

Seeing this, Taichang smiled slightly, and then leaned over to guide him: "Don't look at his camp, when the people who become floods rush over, they will definitely organize people to resist on the grass in the north of the camp. Adjust the focal length to the maximum and aim at the grassland to the north of the camp."

Zhu Cihong heard the words, quickly and slowly increased the focus of the telescope, and slowly swept north.

He has been playing with binoculars since he was four or five years old, and he is not too proficient in focusing and so on.

Cao Bianjiao's speed was really uncommonly fast. As soon as they got ready on their side, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes from the north.

The settlement of the Siberian Khanate suddenly felt as if a pot had exploded, with shouts and exclamations.

They also knew that they were surrounded, because the densely packed warships on the river had already sailed over.

However, they are not sitting still.

Soon, people from various camps got on their horses one after another and headed straight to the north of the camp.

Almost all of them were young and strong, but the number of people gathered in the end was less than [-].

Moreover, their formation is quite scattered, basically lined up in a chaotic row, and they can't even see a queue.

This kind of improvised cavalry may be able to deal with infantry without any guns and artillery, but it is far behind the elite of the Shenwu Battalion.

Soon, a black line appeared in the north, and the Jingqi of Shenwuying rushed over in five rows neatly.

Seeing this, the cavalry of the Siberian Khanate not only did not retreat, but even waved their whips and urged the horses to go forward frantically.

There is no way, if they turn around and run away, they will definitely be chopped into pieces by the rushing enemy cavalry.

If the cavalry is fighting, they can't retreat, they can only hedge.

If anyone turns around and retreats, not only will he lose his momentum, but also his momentum will be lost. If he catches up with the momentum of a war horse, it will be more than twice as strong as his manpower, and they will not be able to stop it at all.

The problem is, facing the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion, they can't stop them from rushing up!
There was still a mile between the two sides, and the cavalry of the Shenwu Battalion in the front row had already raised their Dai Zi rifles with one hand, and fired a volley of guns with a "snap".

Thousands of cavalrymen of the Siberian Khanate were swept down immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion quickly pulled the bolt of the gun again, ejected the cartridge case, pushed the bullet into the barrel, and "cracked" another volley of guns fired over.

Thousands of cavalrymen of the Siberian Khanate were swept down immediately.

The speed at which the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion pulled the bolt was really too fast, almost a round of gunfire in the blink of an eye, and the dense gunshots kept "cracking" non-stop, as if there was no gap.

After the four rounds of salvo, the distance between the two sides is about a hundred steps, but there are only a few cavalry left in the Siberian Khanate.

These few seemed to be tribal leaders or something, and they were still wearing armor, so they were not knocked over. The others were already lying on the ground and rolling.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao quickly raised his hand to slow down the cavalry of Shenwu Battalion.

Their purpose is not to kill everyone, they also want to capture captives, after all, captives are labor.

If they rushed over like this, the young and strong who were injured and fell to the ground would probably be trampled into flesh.

Although the charge of the war horse is great, the deceleration distance of a hundred steps is barely enough.

After a while, the cavalrymen of the Shenwu Battalion reined in their horses one after another, and slowly lined up in five straight lines.

At this time, Cao Bianjiao ordered loudly: "Go up and persuade to surrender."

A general from the Mongolian Yuan tribe immediately rode to the front of the battle, and shouted in Mongolian dialect: "Put down your weapons and surrender, and spare your lives."

Uh, such pure Mongolian dialect!

Could it be one of our own?

Hearing this, several tribal leaders threw their weapons to the ground and quickly raised their hands.

Is this over?

Why does it feel like it's over before it even started?

Seeing that the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion started to inspect the captives on the ground, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "Grandfather, have we won the battle?"

Uh, well, it feels a bit like lying to win.

In fact, the war potential of the Siberian Khanate has been almost exhausted by Tsarist Russia, otherwise this battle would definitely not be so simple.

However, this battle ended a bit too quickly, as fast as playing.

He can't make the baby grandson think that fighting is so easy.

Taichang thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly and said: "Yes, we won.

The reason why the enemy is vulnerable is because we have developed a new weapon, the Daizi rifle.

This kind of rifle can fire ten bullets in a row, and it is an invincible artifact when fighting cavalry.

Therefore, you must pay attention to the development of new weapons and equipment in the future, and you can't relax just because Ming defeated the enemy.

You have to ensure that Daming's weapons and equipment are always more advanced than others. Only you can beat others, and no one else can beat you. "
