Chapter 415 Mahamu’s ambition
On the Oara grassland, hundreds of thousands of troops were rampaging, and no one dared to disobey wherever they went.

But Zhu Zhen couldn't be happy.

Because there was no resistance at all along the way, what about the promised invasion by the Timur Empire? What about Wala's promise to rise up and resist?
What about people?

Now he has led millions of soldiers divided into three armies. The purpose of entering Oara is to wipe out other forces in the grassland.

Either die or surrender.

As the saying goes, those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish.

But it all came to nothing?
The entire Wala was deserted, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, or women and children.

When Zhu Chu and his men arrived, the entire Oara surrendered on the spot.

In addition to old men, women and children, many of Tamerlane's men were captured.

These are the logistical personnel of Timur's army.

Furthermore, it is impossible for the logistics troops to continue to send food and grass from the Timur Empire.

Now his goal is to destroy all enemies first, and then free up his hands to become the new overlord of the grassland.

So Timur just left the people in the logistics force behind, and one took over the large areas of territory and tribes abandoned by Ugeqi Hashha, as well as countless cattle and sheep.

Inside the tent are either veteran generals who have been on the battlefield and are good at fighting, or they are Mongolian men. They are too late to be happy when they hear about the war, so how can they shrink back and be timid.

At that moment, someone volunteered and said, "Your Highness, we are willing to be the pioneers."

"However, neither Oara nor Ulyanha nor Timur would have thought that the Tatars are already the people of this holy Khan, and that this holy Khan has come to the grassland. They won't go We have to conquer them if they cause trouble for us. Isn't this coming to our door?"

Even if it is used to supply the current 1.1 million troops, it can last for more than a month.

Thank you in person.

It is normal to transport food from Yunnan to Tibet and Xinjiang battlefields, but to transport it across such a long distance to the grasslands is not worth the gain.

In addition, there has been no large-scale war in the past year, at least in his territory of Yunnan, there will be no more chieftain rebellions.

As long as this unprecedented war is ended within a month, there is no need to even use Tatar supplies.

After all, except for the chieftains from the Muqiu family, all the other chieftains had been wiped out.

Too far.

Zhu Chu only recruited the troops of ten Tatar tribes this time, and the other three tribes were too far away, and they were all located northeast of Chifeng, so he did not want to mobilize them.

Just like when Zhu Chu was preparing to re-enter the grassland, he also gave up the logistic route of continuing to provide food and grass from Yunnan.

So Zhu Zhen immediately sent out messengers to summon the other two armies to gather in one place.

Unexpectedly, as the war raged on, it was getting closer.

When the generals of the army arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Zhu Zhen told the intelligence he had: "Now Oara and Ulyanha have formed an alliance under the pressure of the Timur Empire's massive invasion, but they are still not powerful. Timur's opponents. So they are taking Timur's army and fleeing all the way to the direction of Barhu Banner and Yuyuerhai. This is to drag us Tatars into the water."

Zhu Chu guessed Mahamu’s bad idea for Ugqi Hashha.

Although the grasslands are connected into one piece, the route taken by Timur and his companions is no less similar to that of Zhu Chu who went all the way from the capital to Yunnan. It is equivalent to taking a long circle to reach Hulunbuir.

Zhu Ming suddenly thought of something and sneered: "If Wala and Wu Liangha are not able to defeat Timur, and plan to flee in embarrassment to a place where Timur cannot catch up, then there is only one other possibility. They want to drag us Tatars into the water, and they want to gather the power of the three major Mongolian tribes to fight Timur in one fell swoop."

Zhu Xi's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Why did they run over there?" Zhu Zhen was a little confused.

Zhu Ming's heart moved, how could he forget about the system?
The main reason is that Zhu Ming has been launching wars 'foreignly' recently, including this time when Timur entered the Mongolian grasslands, which was also against Oara and Ulyanha, but he did not use troops against the Tatars.

When Zhu Zhen led the army to fully take over the Oara grassland and drove away Timur's logistics troops, he quickly occupied a high position in the minds of the people who stayed behind in Oara.

Timur also vaguely heard that the Tatar grassland seemed to have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty. He was worried that using troops against the Tatars might arouse the hostility of the Ming Dynasty. He did not want to cause trouble, so he wanted to eliminate Oara first, and then invade Wuliangha.

However, Zhu Chu has no intention of avoiding the battle. Since you have come to the door yourself, he will catch you all in one go.

The system issues an alert.

In fact, the battle on the front line is still continuing, so Timur will naturally not be so arrogant as to separate the troops to manage Oara.

However, Timur could only put pressure on the people of the various tribes in Oara.

So the alarm system is almost useless.

But just when Zhu Zhen lost track of Timur's army and the strength of various Oara troops, the alarm system worked.

"Warning, the troops of the Wala and Ulyanha alliance, as well as the Timur Empire army, are heading towards the Hulunbuir grassland, the host territory, and will arrive at the Yuerhai in the near future."

Suddenly, the long-silent system alarm sounded again.

It's just that Zhu Zhen still had the support of the entire Ming Dynasty behind him, and had prepared three months' food and fodder for an army of 500,000 in advance.

But the question now is, where to find him?

What a loss! It’s true that trouble comes from heaven for people at home.

Therefore, Timur and Zhu Ming thought together and planned to use local materials to support war from the grassland.

"System alert."

And this also led to the fact that although Ugqi Hashha was beaten away by Timur, the people did not obey because of Timur's high intensity of oppression.

Timur made a wedding dress for Zhu Zhen, and he was quite nice.

Zhu Ming's face turned dark when he saw it: "Mu Sheng, you kid, just stay here."

This brat is now a million-level battlefield, and even the original Battle of Dingbian is far inferior to the scale of this time.

Why do you look like you?
The ones you brought with you are all my close personal guards. They are all my royal guards. Do you dare to take them to die? I still can't bear it.

When it comes to Zhu Chu's status in the minds of those 50,000 people, it can be said that Zhu Chu asked them to die without hesitation or blinking an eyelid.

There are tens of thousands of people in Yunnan who are loyal to Zhu Na to the death.

Zhu Zhen couldn't bear to part with them and regarded them as his treasures.

What's more, Mu Ying has been working hard for the old Zhu family until her death. Although Zhu Ming wants to experience Mu Sheng, it is not the way to train, and it will make people useless.

Mu Sheng will have his chance to develop, but not this time.

So Zhu Min began to make arrangements: "The right army will be the front army, the left army will be the rear army, and my army will still be the center army. The whole army will be prepared and rush to the Hulunbuir Grassland to fight to the death with the enemy."

The right army was composed of Mongolian soldiers with Arutai as the commander, and the left army was composed of 400,000 Han troops led by Feng Sheng and Fu Youde. Zhu Xun's command was more complicated, with both 100,000 Naxi militiamen and tens of thousands of Zhuang militiamen. militia and hundreds of thousands of Han troops.

At this time, Zhu Zhen only changed his formation slightly, and he could rush directly to the next battlefield.

At the same time, Zhu Chu told Alutai: "Alutai, send more exploration horses, don't be careless. Don't act rashly when encountering a situation. If you encounter a sudden encounter with the enemy, first use the fifty artillery pieces I gave you to bombard him." .”

Zhu Ming also brought two hundred artillery pieces to the grassland, fifty of which were distributed to the Mongolian troops, and another fifty were given to Feng Sheng and the others, leaving one hundred for himself.

Because originally according to Zhu Chu's plan, his Chinese army would be the first to encounter the melee between Timur, Wala and Ulyanha. His main battlefield was here, and then the left and right armies would outflank the melee between the three armies. Get up and catch them all.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly ran away while being beaten.

Grandma's, I still have to chase them.

Think it's just kids playing house? Are you kidding me?

But at this time, Zhu Chu and his army were living in the Oara grassland.

In terms of maps of later generations, the Tatar grassland is actually Inner Mongolia, and the combination of Oara and Ulyanha constitutes the entire territory of Mongolia. Now Timur is chasing the alliance army of Oara and Ulyanha, from Ulyanha, which is the depth of Mongolia, to Hulunbuir.

Although Zhu Zhen was an afterthought, he could head straight east from the hinterland of Mongolia without falling far behind. He might even be able to intercept the two groups of men halfway.

Now that the enemy's movements were known, there was no need to say any more nonsense. The army quickly moved on again. The Mongolian armies led by Arutai served as the front army and rushed to the next battlefield in a mighty manner.

During this period, various generals of the Han army came to discuss with Zhu Ming, such as Fu Youde and other generals, who wanted to ask Zhu Ming what plans or tactical arrangements he had.

I have always heard that His Royal Highness the King of Dian is like a god in his military skills and has unparalleled force. This is the first time to fight with him. Finally, I can see it with my own eyes on the battlefield, which naturally arouses the curiosity of many people.

As a result, Zhu Chu was speechless: "What kind of strategy are you using on this endless prairie? As the saying goes, the brave will win when meeting on a narrow road. Just one word and it's over."

All the generals have a black line, and you just came here recklessly?
No wonder His Majesty always says that you have always been so brave.

"But I heard that His Highness once lured the enemy deep, and then used the empty camp strategy and set up a horse trap to easily wipe out an enemy army," Feng Sheng said thoughtfully.

That was a battle that Zhu Zhen fought on the grassland many years ago.

Zhu Chu waved his hand and said without any pride: "The so-called strategy is either a strategy used to defeat the enemy when the enemy and we are evenly matched, or it is a dangerous move and clever strategy used when the difference between the enemy and us is too great. Now we have a strong army, both in terms of military strength and strength. The equipment is far superior to that of the enemy. If you deliberately use a trick just for the sake of using it, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse? This battle should destroy the enemy's army with overwhelming force. Although it cannot be said to be powerful in China, it should be famous overseas. This This is my Ming Dynasty’s confidence and strength.”

In the past, due to the lack of power in his hands, Zhu Zhen had no choice but to think of various strategies.

But now it's different from the past, Zhu Chu can be bold and arrogant, why bother to use those small tricks again?

Wouldn't it be over if we just crush them?

This is the royal way.

My Ming Dynasty is so powerful that you all must surrender.

So Zhu Ming waved his hand and shouted: "Speed ​​up and move forward, all the cavalry will run for me."

This command was so serious that the entire grassland shook.

Because not only were the 400,000 Mongolian soldiers in the front army all cavalry, but most of the central and rear armies were also cavalry troops, while the infantry became a minority.

He ran like this and ran dozens of kilometers in an instant.

The backward infantry is already scolding you for not taking us to play, right?
How can human power outperform horse power?
A few days later, on the Hulunbuir grassland, at what would later become Bell Lake, which is now the fishing sea, a troop of several hundred thousand soldiers arrived.

Obviously this is an army of hundreds of thousands of people, and it should be brave and high-spirited.

But at this time, everyone looked tired and dusty, looking more like a group of beggars.

In fact, it is not too much to say that they are beggars. They are the alliance of Wala and Ulyanha. They were chased and beaten by Timur along the way. They were chased here like bereaved dogs.

There was neither time to rest nor enough space to sort out personal hygiene. Even eating and drinking could only be done on horseback, eating dry food and dried meat while escaping.

One can imagine what their image looks like at this time.

"Damn Timur, if you don't avenge me, I won't do anything for you," Ugqi Hashiha cursed angrily. Only then could he finally take a breath and let his men fetch water from Lake Bell, drinking it like a cow. Usually drink it to your heart's content.

Mahamu came to him with the leaders of the three Ulyanha tribes.

"Big leader, it's not time to stop yet. We sent out exploration horses but found no trace of the tribe nearby. We have to continue to go deeper," Mahamu said.

The former Beiyuan Royal Court was once stationed in Yuerhai, which is here at Bell Lake.

But since Lan Yu somehow found this place and dealt the final fatal blow to the declining Beiyuan Royal Court at that time, since the Ming Dynasty won the great battle of Yuerhai, not only the Beiyuan Royal Court began to move to Wala In the past, there was no tribal life here.

Naturally, no one could be found nearby, and Zhu Zhen also missed it at first.

If you want to involve the Tatars and join them in resisting Timur's army, you can only continue to go deeper.

Uge Qiha Shiha looked at Mahamu with a gloomy face and said coldly: "Mahamu, because we followed your advice before, we had to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives in order to escape. "

Back then, it was a battlefield with millions of people. How could it be so easy to escape?

Ugeqi Hashha had to sacrifice tens of thousands of people before finally escaping.

And those tens of thousands of people are all members of his tribe.

Ugqi Hashha's heart was bleeding at this time.

Once he loses his tribe and troops, what will he be as a great leader?
What's more, there were originally only 220,000 Uliangha troops, and the other 380,000 were Oara troops, making up a total of 600,000 troops.

Now that Wala has sacrificed tens of thousands of lives, the gap between Wala and Ulyanha has narrowed to an almost negligible level.

And once Wala continues to lose in the war, there may be a tendency for Uliangha to rise.

Not to mention that there have been constant frictions between Oara and Tatar in recent years, and Ugzihashha suddenly regretted it.

I'm afraid it was a bad move this time.

"But big leader, if we don't continue, what else can we do? We have already come to this point," Mahamu was speechless. Is this big leader an idiot?
If we don't continue, wouldn't the people who died before die in vain?
Or are you saying that you couldn't beat it before, and you think you can beat it now when you turn around?
We couldn't defeat it before, and now that there are tens of thousands fewer people, wouldn't it mean that we can't defeat it even more?

Why don't you understand this?
Mahamu's eyes were full of disappointment.

Ugeqi Hashha was angry: "How dare you teach me a lesson for a mere domestic slave? Don't forget, Mahamutou. If I hadn't spared your life in the first place, you would have been punished like your dead father." Killed. You are just a domestic slave of mine, don’t let me take advantage of you."

Mahamu's eyes widened, and his face was full of anger. He gritted his teeth, and suddenly he felt evil. He pulled out a Mongolian knife from his waist and slashed forward.

Before the three leaders of Uliangha could react, Ugeqiha Shiha did not expect Mahamu to suddenly attack, and only heard a "pop" sound.

Blood spattered and Ugeqi Hashha's head rolled to the ground, and Mahamu killed him on the spot.

"You short-sighted and unambitious villain, you were able to raise an army and kill your master, why can't I, Mahamu?" Mahamu swung his knife and dropped the blood on it, then turned to look at the leader of the three Ulangha tribes, He asked with gloomy eyes: "Do you really want to follow this guy?"

The leaders of the three Ulyanha clans frowned, feeling disdainful of Mahamu's act of lord-killing.

But Mahamu continued: "Now that the enemy is facing us, I, Mahamu, have the confidence to lead everyone out of the desperate situation and defeat the powerful enemy. If you don't accept it, I will go out and say that you killed the big leader. By then I will The Wara soldiers are strong and strong, and they can conquer you Ulyanha and make them slaves."

"Whether you want to be the brother of my Mahamu or the slave of our Wala, you can think about it yourself."

The leaders of the three tribes of Wuliangha were shocked and felt that they had boarded a pirate ship.

Moreover, Mahamu was indeed a hero. He made a decisive decision at this time and decisively solved Ugqi Hashha, and then planned to take advantage of the pressure of Timur's army to seize the supreme power of Oara in one fell swoop.

At the same time, he also wanted to completely unify Wu Liangha and make Wu Liangha a vassal of Wala and his vassal.

In this way, with the support of Mahamu's own tribe and the strength of more than 200,000 people in Ulyanha, he is not afraid of the dissatisfaction of others in Wala.

He also made the right bet. Faced with Mahamu's shameless attempt to take advantage of the situation, the leaders of the three Ulyanha tribes had no choice but to compromise.

So a coup took place in Wala on this day. After Ugqi Hashiha killed Elbek Khan, he was also killed by Mahamu.

And just when Mahamu quickly took over, he completely controlled the alliance army of Oara and Ulyanha.

Timur finally arrived with hundreds of thousands of troops.

But the strange thing is that Timur did not rush to attack Mahamu immediately, but stopped five miles away.

Five miles is 2,500 meters, and both sides can already see each other. After all, both sides have hundreds of thousands of troops, so it is naturally obvious.

Mahamu was still wondering at first. Did Timur want to persuade him to surrender? That is absolutely impossible. He is a man who wants to be the overlord of the grassland. From today on, he, Mahamu, will never surrender to anyone again. He will become the master himself.

Suddenly, Mahamu turned his head and looked to the west with a feeling, and finally understood why Timur wanted to stand still.

Just on the horizontal line between the two armies, an army slowly appeared from the west.

This is a third party force.

Arutai walked at the front in person, looked up at the two groups of troops that were finally found, and sneered: "Don't you want to cause trouble for us Tatars? Then we will do as you wish."
