At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 109

Looking at the sun and moon handsome flag fluttering in front of the opponent's formation, Yexian was deeply moved.

When the initial steps are taken, they already have an absolute advantage, and they will be able to capture the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen alive.

However, the opponent suddenly changed his routine and made unexpected moves one after another. In the end, he turned the tide of the battle and even killed on the grassland, stealing his hometown.

I thought that after Zhu Zhanji, Da Ming was exhausted, but I didn't expect that this little emperor has something, and he is a difficult opponent.

This time, we must never be contemptuous again. Respecting the opponent means respecting oneself and life.

The grievances of the past century, today, between you and me, let's end it!
Wait a moment……

I also suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

What about the emperor's banner?

There is only a handsome flag, no big banner, could it be...

Damn, the little emperor didn't come at all!

Also, he was immediately angry, just now he recognized your opponent, and then he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye.

Simply deceiving!
"Pass down the order and pull out the big general's cannon!"

In the original battle plan, these twelve general cannons were his secret weapons, and they would not be revealed until a critical moment.

However, facing the little emperor who didn't regard himself as a human being, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer, so he directly made a big move.

"The grand master has an order, the cannon will step forward!"

"The cavalry spread out on both wings, ready to outflank!"

"Follow up and prepare to attack!"

The orders were passed on one after another, and the twelve general cannons were pushed to the front of the formation, and the black barrels were aimed at the Ming army's position in front.

It is the time of spring and summer, but the grassland is still cold and windy, and the howling north wind blows across the battlefield between the two sides, rolling up pieces of withered grass.

He also rode on the horse first, watching the Ming army advancing continuously, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Get any closer and you're in range.

Aren't you good at firearms, this time let you...

boom!
Just as Yexian was happily waiting for the Ming army to enter the range, suddenly there was the roar of artillery from the opposite position.

boom!
boom!
boom!
There was a constant roar ahead, and the ground under his feet was trembling.

Yexian was suddenly very angry, so far away, who do you look down on?

Show off, right?

You have the cannon, don't you?

However, the next second, he heard the sound of shells breaking through the air...

"not good!"

In desperation, there was no time to think, and subconsciously got off the horse.

Boom!

At the same time, a shell exploded not far in front of him!
The shock wave generated by the explosion flew away mixed with shrapnel, and the Oirat army was killed and injured immediately.

Fortunately, he dodged in time first, barely escaping.

His war horse was not so lucky, and fell into a pool of blood before he could even make a wailing sound.

At this moment, my mind went blank.

why?
How did the Ming army achieve such a long range?
Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions continued one after another, and the Oirat army suddenly became a hell on earth.

"Fire, fire back!"

In the critical moment, Yexian still maintained a trace of calmness and commanded the troops to fight back.

boom!
boom!
The general's cannon spit out flames, and the shells roared and flew towards the Ming army's position... a hundred steps ahead...

Ye Xian stared dumbfounded at what happened in front of him, and his heart felt ashamed.

"Retreat, retreat!"

In front of the formation of the Ming army, Yu Qian looked at the defeat of the Wala army from a distance, and waved: "Shenjiying, stop attacking!"

Li Zhen couldn't hold back anymore, and asked: "Master Yu, quickly order the pursuit, the [-] Battalion is willing to be the vanguard!"

Yu Qian continued: "Send the order, set up camp on the spot!"

Li Zhen couldn't help asking: "Our army won a big victory, why didn't we take advantage of the situation and pursue it?"

Yu Qian ignored him, and just said: "Mr. Xiangcheng, please take Three Thousand Battalion to Yumu River and bring the Emperor over."

"Master Yu..."

"Xiangchenghou!" Yu Qian interrupted him and said expressionlessly, "I am the commander-in-chief now, please obey the order!"

Li Zhen had no choice but to clasped her fists and said, "The last general takes orders!"

That night, the army camped again, and Yu Qian and other major generals came to the Chinese army's tent in Zhu Qizhen to discuss the next step of the battle.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Zhen took the lead and said: "My lord, there will be one unknown thing at the end. Oala is defeated, why don't you pursue it?"

"Yes!"

Chen Ying also said: "Wala was caught off guard by our army's artillery. If you don't take advantage of the situation to pursue and expand the results of the battle today, wouldn't you be prepared in the future?"

Zhu Qizhen was also a little puzzled, and beat the dog in the water, not for nothing.

Could it be that Yu Qian was worried that the other party was cheating?
There's no need to be so cautious...

In the face of everyone's doubts, Yu Qian was not in a hurry to defend, but asked instead: "Everyone must first figure out one thing. What is our purpose for this Northern Expedition?"

"The purpose..." Li Zhen hurriedly said, "Of course it is to defeat Wala first!"

Yu Qian nodded and said: "Since Emperor Taizu, there have been constant disputes between Ming Dynasty and Beiyuan. Emperor Taizong attacked Mobei six times, and the Mongols fled. It took less than 30 years for them to come back again. !"

"If this Northern Expedition, after repelling the Oirats, the army returns to Beijing triumphantly, may I ask, has our goal been achieved?"

"They hibernate for five, ten, or at most 20 years. As long as they regain their strength, they will step into the Great Wall again and harass the border town."

"What should we do then? Organize another Northern Expedition? The army will go out, waste people and money, and the Northern Expedition again and again, but still can't eradicate the troubles in Mobei. Your Majesty, do you think this battle is worthwhile?"

After Zhu Qizhen listened carefully, he couldn't help but nodded, and asked, "You mean, we can't be in a hurry to win the first battle, but we should take a long-term plan to completely wipe it out!"

"This is exactly what I mean!"

"Since that's the case, tell me about your next plan."

Yu Qian said: "Our army's firearms are powerful, and the Oirats have no chance of winning in a frontal battle. Now we have to consider how to occupy the land, gradually compress the living space of the Oirats, until they are completely defeated!"

"Step by step, gradually encroaching on the land of the Wala people, is this what you mean?"

"My minister suggested that every time the army marches out, the camp should not be dismantled, but some soldiers should be left to garrison. The emperor issued another imperial decree. If people come to settle, the court promises to distribute the land and give some resettlement fees. After this, the army will be on the front line Fight, and the people will consolidate the front line in the rear until the Oala tribe completely disappears from the grassland!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded again and again, Yu Qian still sees the problem thoroughly, when Emperor Taizong beat Wala he knelt down and begged for mercy, but as long as you withdraw the troops, he will come back after being dormant for ten or eight years.

Such a large-scale war consumes so much. If it can't be done once and for all, the trouble in Mobei is like a bottomless pit, and no amount of food can fill it.
