Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 941 Intercepting and Killing Ming Army Scouts

After the Ming army crossed the Volga River, Zhu Youjian received a report:
"Although it is summer, except for a few light convoys, due to the muddy roads, most convoys cannot pass and there is no pasture suitable for grazing."

Zhu Youjian ordered:

"Don't remove the pontoon bridge, send multiple scouts to inquire about the intelligence of the Tsarist Russian army, and the army will temporarily rest for half a day and continue to advance.

About an hour later, another army came from the other side of the Volga River, and they were all dressed in strange cavalry, and they also carried the Minglong flag.

As soon as they appeared, scouts reported to Zhu Youjian. Many soldiers were baffled when they heard the scout's report, and they all looked at Emperor Daming.

Of course Zhu Youjian knew who was coming, not only did he know, even Li Dingguo guessed what team was coming.

It was the [-] black cavalry led by Li Cunxiao who came. He was originally stationed in Mongolia. After receiving the emperor's order, he immediately led them to meet in Tsarist Russia.

Compared with the past, the current Xuanjia cavalry has also undergone tremendous changes.

Like Yue Fei's Long Teng Army, they were all equipped with firearms, and their armor had also been updated.

Horses and cavalry used to wear iron black armor, but now the iron armor has been replaced with steel armor, and there is a layer of cotton armor inside.

The steel armor and cotton armor were specially made by Zhu Youjian for the black armored cavalry, mainly to greatly reduce the pressure on soldiers and horses.

They came this time to hunt down the Cossack cavalry. If it was still the same armor as before, they would not be able to run away from the Cossack cavalry.

The armor on their horses and cavalry was shining brightly under the sunlight, and they looked very majestic and imposing.

After the army crossed the river, Li Cunxiao waved his hand to stop the troops from advancing and rest on the spot. He jumped off his horse to meet the host Zhu Youjian.

The soldiers outside the camp gate had been notified long ago that they saw a tall and mighty general coming, and immediately brought him to the imperial camp.

Li Cunxiao walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and immediately saluted Zhu Youjian:

"The last will see the lord!"

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"The general is free!"

"My lord?"

Hearing this person address the emperor, many soldiers who had never met Li Cunxiao were taken aback.

Only a few people such as Li Dingguo have seen Li Cunxiao, and they know that Li Cunxiao has always called the emperor that way.

As for why their battle armor is different from that of the Ming army, no one knows except Zhu Youjian.

Even Li Dingguo didn't know why, he only knew that it was the emperor's secret weapon.

At this moment, the scout Baihu came in and reported:
"Your Majesty, just after receiving the information, the Rakshasa army almost ran away along the way, only a small number of probing horses were active.

According to the captured witnesses, the Raksha ghost saw the aggressive offensive of our Great Ming Army, and was forced to retreat to Ryazan, [-] miles away to the north, and planned to defend it to the death.

They carried out fortified walls and cleared the fields along the way to hinder the advance of the Ming army. When retreating, they implemented a scorched-earth policy and set fire along the way, burning all the places the Ming army passed by, making it difficult for the Ming army to get supplies along the way. "

Hearing this news, many soldiers wanted to scold their mothers. The road here is very difficult for Raksha ghosts, and there is no way to fight without supplies along the way.

But all this has long been expected by Zhu Youjian, and he knows that this is the usual practice of Tsarist Russia.

"Understood, check again and report again!"

"obey"

Zhu Youjian looked up at Prince Zhu Cihong:
"How long can the army food and grass last?"

After Emperor Lao Tzu arrived, in order to let Xi Zheng's son rest and protect Zhu Cihong's safety, he was asked to be in charge of logistics.

Zhu Cihong stepped forward and clapped his hands in reply:

"Reporting to my father, our army has just entered Tsarist Russia from Kazakhstan, and there is still enough food and grass. It should be able to last for 20 days!"

Zhu Youjian nodded:
"Soldiers and horses go ahead without using food and grass. Before arriving in Moscow, you must ensure that the logistics supplies are sufficient. Batur's logistics supplies should not be a problem."

"Father, my son-in-law has sent [-] Ming troops to protect the Zhungeer grain transport team, and there will be absolutely no problem with logistics supplies!"

Zhu Youjian nodded, then handed Li Yan a map and said:
"Li Yan, you lead the Pingkou army to follow the map route first, and don't participate in the battle on the frontal battlefield for the time being. Get in front of the Tsarist Russian army and grab everything you can. Once you encounter a large army of the opponent, don't love to fight. Yours! The task is to grab something!"

Li Yan hurriedly bowed and took the map handed over by the emperor:
"obey"

"Zhang Fugui, Meng Liang, Huang Dahu, Huang Xiaohu!"

The four young generals hurried forward to salute:

"exist"

"You are the vanguard of the Ming army, and Meng Liang is the leader of the vanguard. You should cooperate with him well!"

"obey"

Zhu Youjian knew about several young generals from Zhu Cihong, and he knew that Meng Liang was resourceful, so he asked him to lead several young generals to take the lead!

In the past, Zhang Fugui was the chief general, but this time the emperor personally appointed Meng Liang as the chief general. Zhang Fugui and the little tigers had no objections, they knew that Meng Liang definitely had that ability.

The little tigers took the order and immediately led their [-] troops to Liangzan.

After three days of trekking, the Ming army finally began to advance to the battlefield of the first war in Tsarist Russia.

When the vanguard of the Ming army marched northward, Russia also sent troops south to resist the attack of the Ming army.

When the vanguard of the Ming army marched northward, Tsarist Russia also sent reinforcements to the south to resist the attack of the Ming army.

There are about 6000 Russian troops going south, and they are the vanguard of the Russian army. The soldiers are all sturdy and hot-tempered.

There are still 6000 defenders in Ryazan, plus these 5000 troops, the Ryazan defenders are almost [-].

The vanguard of the Tsarist Russian Army were not reckless and ignorant people, but real elite soldiers.

The [-] Russian troops were all infantry. They knew that the Ming army liked to use scout cavalry to explore the road, and they planned to lay an ambush in the middle of the road.

The Russian army, who was familiar with the terrain, lay in ambush behind a high hill, holding cold weapons and quietly waiting for the Ming army who was alone.

As time went by, the scouts of the Ming army never showed up, and some of the Tsarist Russian soldiers who were waiting hard were cursing and complaining why the Ming army hadn't shown up yet.

About three hours later, the vanguard of the Ming army slowly appeared in sight, and the black cavalry of the Ming army was almost endless.

"Fuck, this is not a scout of the Ming army, it is clearly the main force of the Ming army!"

Seeing that there are at least tens of thousands of Ming troops, these Raksha ghosts who want to take advantage of it are immediately dumbfounded.

"Where have all the goddamned explorers of the empire gone, why didn't you notify us in advance, how can we fight this!"

The chief of the Tsarist Russian Corps began to scold his own scouts, but it was useless to scold others, and it was too late to withdraw now.

The heavy hooves of the war horses of the Ming army made the ground tremble, and the Raksha ghosts could even see the hot air coming out of the nostrils of the war horses.

If they hadn't fought against the Ming army, they would definitely have fought against these tens of thousands of Ming troops without hesitation.

Thinking of the blown arm of Golovin, Governor of Siberia, and the almost complete annihilation of the Tsarist Russian army in the Kazakh Khanate, Chief Raksha Ghost began to breathe rapidly.
