Hongwu Daming: Why hasn't my son rebelled?

Chapter 221 His Royal Highness King Liao has won again!

It is most refreshing to fight with His Royal Highness King Liao, this sentence is naturally true.

Wang Erhu has already felt this refreshing feeling. Although he is just an ordinary soldier, he can fight such an epic battle with His Royal Highness Liao Wang.

At the mouth of the river less than fifty miles outside the city of Yi Naiji, the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty had already crossed the passage of the mouth of the river.

The second batch of soldiers was still passing through the narrow river mouth, apparently without any precautions.

At the entrance of the estuary, although more than 1 Beiyuan soldiers gathered, for the nearly 4 people on the Ming side, these 1 people were obviously not enough to see.

Wang Erhu geared up and followed behind his captain.

Looking at the unaware army in front of them, they will charge directly later, and then disperse the enemies in front of them, and kill them in the valley.

The squad leader is fully and richly assigning tasks, and this was never the case in other armies before.

Ordinary soldiers can just keep their heads down and charge, and it doesn't matter whether the charge is dead or alive.

Therefore, many soldiers would turn around and run away whenever they saw too many casualties, so as not to become cannon fodder for others.

But this newly trained Ming army is different. They have their own thoughts and goals.

It's not just the kind of frontline soldiers who are caught and directly used as cannon fodder.

After the task was assigned, the members of the team cheered each other up and were ready to obey orders, and soon there was a charge horn from outside, it was a cavalry charge.

Holding his long spear, Wang Erhu saw a large group of cavalry not far ahead crossing the sand dunes and gathering from a high place.

And those Beiyuan soldiers in the distance panicked when they saw the cavalry suddenly appearing on the sand dunes.

Although Beiyuan's soldiers, under the command of the commander, quickly formed a battle formation.

Prepared for the upcoming battle, but the army of the Ming Dynasty was obviously more fully prepared.

After adjusting the formation slightly, the cavalry phalanx rushed straight down in a pincer formation, heading straight for the group of soldiers in front of them.

However, the number of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty was still too small, and only 5000 soldiers could be gathered in a hurry.

But it was enough to suddenly attack these unprepared Beiyuan soldiers in front of them.

After all, the task of the cavalry is not to wipe them out, but to disrupt the formation and damage their morale.

Let them run away, and then it is them infantry who really cause huge damage.

After all, the estuary in this place is narrow, and both sides are high places, so there are not many places to escape.

As long as the infantry rush up and stick them all, they can expand the results of the battle as much as possible.

The cavalry here quickly got ready, and then thousands of horses galloped forward.

Although the Northern Yuan soldiers didn't run away immediately, they were still quite shaken when they saw the cavalry charging in front of them.

Since ancient times, cavalry has been the king of the battlefield. This is not a blown imagination. The half-ton monster is covered with armor and charges towards you from a high place, even the ground is trembling.

The rumbling sound is like a god coming down to earth, but anyone who is afraid of death will feel fear from the bottom of his heart.

It was the first time for Wang Erhu to see such a large-scale cavalry charge. The last time he fought was on the city wall to defend the city.

There was no reason for Beiyuan to send cavalry to attack the city, and the Ming army did not go out of the city to use cavalry to raid.

So this was the first time he saw such a spectacular scene, and he was shocked at the time. He originally thought that he could become a general one day, but now, as long as he can become a cavalryman, he will probably be satisfied if he rushes along.

It's a pity that training a cavalry is not something that can be done just by talking about it.

It takes a long period of training before an ordinary soldier can become a qualified rider.

There is still a long way to go for Wang Erhu to become a cavalryman, but at the moment, making contributions is still the first.

Wang Erhu, who was lying on the hill, soon saw the cavalry of the Ming army and tore the Beiyuan phalanx to pieces.

The cavalry at the mouth of the river rushed straight in, like a sharp knife, broke through the formation and rushed straight in.

However, these cavalry did not intend to penetrate the entire formation.

After all, there is also a high hillside in the back, and it is okay for the cavalry to rush over from the slope.

If you go uphill, you might be overtaken by the infantry behind you.
Therefore, the position where the cavalry interspersed is directly inserted into the phalanx at an angle, so that it can directly penetrate the formation from the front, and then run forward, leaving a gap for the infantry behind to charge.

Soon, the 5000 cavalry pierced through the formation of more than 1 Beiyuan soldiers in front of them.

The formation was completely disrupted, and the morale of the Beiyuan soldiers naturally need not be mentioned.

There is no collapse now, it is all because those generals are desperately trying to slash the weapons in their hands, hacking to death all those who dare to retreat.

Although the cavalry didn't completely break them down, the infantrymen who came over after covering up and killing them really made the team members and soldiers fall into despair.

Wang Erhu charged down with his captain, the sound of the horn resounded throughout the wilderness.

Not far away, it was obvious that on the opposite hillside, some soldiers of the Ming Dynasty rushed down the hillside.

Under the attack from both sides, even in the elite troops, it is impossible to have any morale at all after being pierced by the cavalry and then attacked by the two sides.

Sure enough, defections quickly appeared on Beiyuan's side, and more and more people defected. Even the generals who enforced the law couldn't stop them from retreating.

On the battlefield, once this tendency to escape snowballs, it will be difficult to resist, just like an avalanche.

In the face of such a situation, ordinary manpower has nothing to do.

When Wang Baobao heard the noise from outside the canyon, he immediately arranged for people to go over to understand the situation. When he heard that there was an ambush over there, Wang Baobao was also confused.

Wang Baobao naturally knew, of course he knew what the ambush of the Ming Dynasty meant at this time, which meant that the Liao king Zhu Qi had seen through his underwear.

He knew that Bei Yuan left Yi Nai Ji and went to Liao Dong just as a feint, but the real target was still Yi Nai Ji.

So the Liao King Zhu Qicai left Yi Naiji with his army. As mentioned earlier, the Ming Dynasty army was heading towards Liaodong.

It was basically the suspicious soldiers arranged by Liao King Zhu Qi, and now it was obvious that they were ambushing him near here, and he didn't know anything, so he ran headlong into his trap.

At that time, Wang Baobao felt that the sky was dark for a while, and he couldn't stand firmly at that time. If someone beside him came to help him immediately, he might have fallen down.

Although he didn't fall down, he spit out a mouthful of blood immediately when his chest hurt and his throat tickled.

It is conceivable how much this matter has hit him. Under such circumstances, he was ambushed, so needless to say, most of the Beiyuan soldiers who went out in the first wave will be sent away.

This is an army of more than 1 people. It takes several tribes to form so many warriors.

Although he brought a hundred thousand people here, but now he has lost more than 1 people without making any achievements. How has Wang Baobao ever suffered such a humiliating defeat?

As soon as the people around saw the prime minister vomiting blood, they hurried forward one by one to take care of him.

But the difference between a famous general and an ordinary general is that a famous general can lose many times, and each time he can regain his strength and find a chance to break through himself.

Just like Wang Baobao in history, in the battles with the Ming Dynasty, there has always been less left and more won.

And it is precisely because he can stand up again every time and lead Beiyuan to continue to struggle, that he can gain the trust of the people on Beiyuan's side, because there are not even people struggling on Beiyuan's side!

Wang Baobao has also fully utilized his potential as a famous player now, and he is not discouraged in the slightest.

Even in such a bad situation, he still cheered up.

Leading the rest of his troops, he retreated decisively.

This time the expedition can be said to have failed completely, not because of his lack of troops, but because after losing more than 1 people, he no longer had the vigor and scheming to attack.

The troops under his hands were afraid that their calves would tremble when they saw Zhu Qi, king of Liao, and the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty were coming in a steady stream. They might as well run away now while they still have the strength under their hands.

After another two or three years, the situation has changed, and Wang Baobao's choice is indeed correct.

If he doesn't leave at this time, he chooses to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yu is confident that he will eat all of his 10 people. After all, fighting is not about the number of people you fight, but the morale you fight.

If morale is gone, even if you have 10 people, it's just a mountain of [-] pigs, and I'll just spend some time killing them all for you, and it's over.

Since Beiyuan has made up his mind to retreat, there is no one to rescue the more than 1 people in Hekou.

And the second batch of teams that were passing through the river mouth also turned around immediately.

Chaos is a bit chaotic, but at least it can save lives.

The rest of the people also wanted to flee, but the infantry phalanx of the Ming Dynasty had already covered and killed them, and they quickly blocked the river mouth.

Surrounded more than 1 Beiyuan soldiers outside the estuary.

An unexplained massacre followed.

Without any morale on the battlefield, there is no ability to resist.

The Ming Dynasty chopped down all those who resisted with little effort.

And the rest who didn't dare to resist, also fell to their knees on the ground, threw the weapons in their hands aside, hugged their heads, trembled and cried bitterly.

I just hope that one life can be spared, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will naturally not kill those who surrendered.

All these people have to be locked up and wait to be dealt with. After all, this is all free labor.

Naturally, Zhu Qi would not do such a thing as murdering captives. It wasn't that he didn't have food and grass, and it wasn't that he didn't have no place to arrange these captives.

Although the number of people is a bit more, after calculation, it is nearly 1 people.

Naturally, all these 1 people were sent to the back, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with them.

Zhu Qi didn't dare to keep them here without permission, so many ministers in the court stared at him with wide eyes.

It would be really stupid to fall into this kind of trick.

However, for the [-] labor force, Zhu Qi actually quite wants it. After all, what he lacks now is the labor force.

Whether it is building a house, or reclamation, ore, coal and the like.

Zhu Qi really needs this group of people, you know, Zhu Qi's current Liaodong is the modern Northeast.

In the Northeast, resources are very rich.

There is a good saying that the resources of a single province in the Northeast can support a world power.

As for Zhu Qi, if one wants to develop technology and industry, mining is absolutely indispensable.

Especially now that Zhu Qi's craftsmen have begun to study the furnace, and this kind of large furnace is more useful than the small furnace in the blacksmith's shop, and it can use more refined steel.

Not only can it be mass-produced, but the quality is also higher.

As long as the output of steel is high, more powerful artillery and muskets can be built.

The benefits brought by the improvement of firearms are naturally needless to mention.

Moreover, material science is also the foundation of all basic sciences, and all of these are inseparable from coal.

Coal, as a brand-new energy source, brings higher heat and combustion efficiency, and is able to produce more powerful steel.

Of course, looking for coal mines, opening mines, etc., is a series of long series of things, and it is not easy to do.

And these all need Zhu Qi to make additional arrangements. After the mine is opened, the miners needed, not to mention, will cause great damage to the body, so these captives will be very useful at that time.

After living in the big tent of the Chinese army and hearing the news of the complete victory, although Zhu Qi had a calm expression on his face, he didn't look very nervous or excited.

But needless to say, Zhu Qixin was actually very happy inside.

At least he doesn't have to take the blame, and since Daming won the battle, the people of Daming won't have to die too much on the battlefield, which is also very happy for Zhu Qi.

And those generals, seeing His Highness Liao Wang's calm appearance, also expressed admiration in their hearts.

If they were in charge of the battle themselves, they would be very happy when they got the news of the complete victory.

What a great feat this is, and His Royal Highness King Liao is different.

He was extremely calm from beginning to end, as if everything was within his expectations.

But when you think about it, His Royal Highness King Liao has the reputation of counting every ten steps, so smart and talented, naturally he will not be influenced by anything.

As long as you follow His Royal Highness Liao Wang's military achievements, you won't be bragging.

In the hearts of those generals, let alone how happy they are.

Looking back, His Royal Highness King Liao will definitely ask for credit for them.

And Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely give a lot of rewards.

Zhu Qi didn't know how many rewards the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang would give, but it was a fact that he would definitely help these soldiers.

After all, Zhu Qi didn't want too much credit for himself.

Many ministers in the DPRK and China are already afraid that their merits surpass His Highness the Crown Prince, and even the subordinates under the Crown Prince Zhu Biao have begun to speak ill of themselves.

When Zhu Qi heard about Lan Yu, he had privately told Prince Zhu Biao to be careful of himself, the king of Liao, Zhu Qi.

Of course Zhu Qi didn't want the relationship with his elder brother Zhu Biao to become too tense.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao did not believe in these rumors, but always trusted himself as the third brother.

It goes without saying that Zhu Qixin is grateful to Ende.

He just wanted to be an idle prince, and that's all he wanted to do with his name and technology.

What's more, I hope that my wife and children will be hot on the kang, and how happy I would be to live my life in peace and stability.

As for being an emperor or something, he never thought about it from the beginning to the end, let alone having such an ambition.

Of course, if Zhu Biao dies of illness like in history in the future.

Then Zhu Qi will still support Zhu Di as emperor, after all, history has proved that Zhu Di's being emperor is of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhu Yunqi, a brat, would never give his uncle a way out, at least Zhu Di wouldn't persecute him!

Facts have proved that even if 8000 pigs are caught on this hillside, it will take one day to catch them.

Zhu Qi waited to collect all the captives, and it was midnight. Fortunately, these captives did not have the courage to escape or resist, and after being tied up one by one, they were sent to the back of the Great Wall.

Afterwards, the government and the public were shaken, and His Royal Highness King Liao won another big victory!
