Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Lu Mou ordered, "Set all the artillery carried by the army to the front, and use all the sharpshooters to suppress the firing."

Following an order, the 200 kilograms of Folang rapid-fire guns carried by the entire army were unloaded on horseback and set up in front of the enemy's trench trenches. The sharpshooters from the Guards Independent Division and Wu Sanfu's army dismounted. Run and line up in front of the formation, ready to suppress the enemy at any time.

The white pole soldiers held long white wax poles and ran into position.

Just this period of preparation allowed the coalition of Mongolian princes around them to see what it means to be well-trained by a regular army.

This made the coalition of princes feel that we are brave and brave, but if we really want to face such a Ming army, we are too far behind.

With everything in place, Lu Mou loudly ordered: "Attack--" Then with quick hands and eyes, he grabbed the young wife who was brandishing a dog-leg knife and was about to charge.

Following the order, the artillery started first. Two hundred guns were carried over on camels with great pains. The two hundred kilogram steel cannon roared, and the shells roared out one after another. In the blink of an eye, the fence in front was destroyed. The explosion caused them to stagger around, and the enemy arrayed in front of the enemy camp was blown to pieces.

In this powerful artillery fire, the enemy suddenly changed their formation. The elites were pulled back, followed by countless herdsmen, men, women, old and weak. They were not there to fight, but just to consume the enemy's ammunition and equipment.

This is a battlefield, and everyone on the other side, men, women, old and young, is the enemy. Rows of guns started firing, knocking down batches of enemies.

But after one group was defeated, another group came up, each side covered with a large shield of rawhide, blocking the bullets, and the lead shot could not penetrate.

The artillery stopped, and Ma Wannian shouted: "White-armed soldiers, get into position——"

Following an order, rows of white-pole soldiers, carrying four-meter-long white wax poles, began to run, and then leaped from pillar to post in front of the trench.

The extremely tough white lever ejected one small and nimble figure after another, across the ditch, and stood firmly on the opposite side.

Groups of kites kept leaping forward, crossing the trenches in a blink of an eye.

There were also brothers who missed and fell halfway into the trench, where they were impaled by the sharp wooden stakes in the trench. The scarlet blood of the foreign brothers stained the land that would eventually become the Ming Dynasty.

The enemy began to fire arrows, and the overwhelming rain of arrows fell like a downpour, turning the Tujia brothers who had no time to protect them into hedgehogs. And because of the leap of the white-armed soldiers, the cannons could not fire back and the rifles could not fire. They could only watch the brothers fall one by one.

When Lu Mou saw this, he decisively ordered to stop the attack.

Each of the white soldiers stopped leaping, and then watched helplessly as their brothers were helplessly shot and sacrificed on the other side of the trench.

This battle came and went quickly.

In a short period of time, the enemy on the other side suffered tens of thousands of casualties under the fire of artillery and rifles, while two thousand of the white-armed soldiers died without achieving anything. Because they have no chance to connect with the enemy.

The tentative attack was over.

The bloody lesson is to either waste time and effort to fill the trenches, or spare no ammunition and blow up the enemy camp. There is no other way.

After Lu Mou summoned the generals to observe the enemy camp, he frowned and said to the generals: "Nearly a million herdsmen have been prepared here. It is really a stronghold to fight. This is no longer an enemy camp, but a large-scale It’s a huge city that can’t be conquered in a short period of time.”

Zukfa frowned: "However, the food and water our army brought can only last for half a month. We have spent eight days traveling along the way, and there is not much food and water left. We cannot afford to delay consumption. For this reason This must be resolved quickly.”

It's easy to say, how can we solve it quickly? Come up with a plan. There really is a plan: "I observed the enemy camp on the opposite side. Most of them were cowhide tents, and they were set up in a disorderly and very dense manner. For this reason, I thought that I should send a light cavalry, carrying more tinder and ignition materials, to sneak around the Gobi." Go ahead, sneak into the enemy's rear camp and take advantage of the wind, and when the moon is dark and the wind is blowing sharply from the north, set fire to the enemy camp."

As soon as this plan came out, all the generals in the tent gasped. There is no better way to destroy a household than to run out of food, and there is no better way to make a house worse than to attack it with fire. This is the most immoral tactic in fighting the enemy.

Especially in the Mongolian joint camp, there are densely packed tents, and the tents are made of old cowhide soaked in grease to protect them from rain. If there is a fire, even the Dragon King will not be able to save it.

I think back then, Lu Mou and Zhang Huangyan used this trick at Heishankou, which immediately wiped out Hauge's army of hundreds of thousands, forcing Hauge to commit suicide in shame and anger.

Using this trick again today - Lu Mou looked at the Mongolian princes in the tent.

The meaning is quite clear. Although the two countries are at war, you and the Mongols opposite are all compatriots. You must agree to this. Otherwise, if I want to make a decisive move, you may rebel against me first.

However, the Mongolian princes turned their attention to the oldest person here, the old Ejibayan who had represented the Mongolian princes and donated 100,000 army silver to Lu Mou.

Old Bayan pondered for a moment, then stood up and said: "My noble emperor, the entire Mongolia is divided into southern and northern deserts, and each tribe does not belong to the same family.

And for hundreds of thousands of years, our Mongols have been engaged in constant disputes and vendettas. In order to win, no stone is left unturned. I know very well the emperor's love for the people and his love for the people. However, the people facing us now are the remnants of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, not the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the enemy. And all of us here are your ministers. We are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, because we all deeply understand that only if we follow the Ming Dynasty closely, we, the original shepherds' children, will no longer be herdsmen. And once those black-hearted shepherd leaders come back, our children and grandchildren will have no choice but to be children with no end in sight forever. For this reason, we unanimously agree with Prince Zu’s plan. In order to eliminate the leaders as soon as possible and in order to successfully suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, we support this plan. "

The other Mongolian princes stood up and knelt on the ground: "My noble emperor, take action."

Lu Mou was completely moved. Standing up, he personally helped everyone up one by one, and then facing the simple and sincere faces, he announced emotionally: "I promise that after this battle, I will build temples and recruit monks in Mongolia. I will die for this battle." The herdsmen chanted sutras and were saved. I will declare here, in Beijing, in the northwest, and in the south of the Yangtze River, that the Mongolian and Han people will always be brothers, and we will completely let go of the Mongolian border and walk freely without any restrictions. ”

As soon as this promise came out, all the Mongolian princes knelt down again, raised their arms to the sky and shouted: "Han and Mongolia will always be brothers, always be brothers, always be brothers."

The sound spread outside the tent, and all the Mongolian and Han soldiers in the army shouted with tears: "The Mongolian and Han soldiers will always be brothers, and we will always be brothers."

Such cheers that reached Xiaohan attracted the Mongolians on the opposite side to rush to the camp trench fence to watch.

Lu Mou smiled sinisterly in his heart: "Look, look, I am truly grateful to you. It is your lives that will make this oath spread throughout the grasslands, and there will be no more disputes between Mongolian and Chinese. For this, your efforts are worth it."

The strategy was decided, and Lao Houbayan took the initiative to ask for help: "Your Majesty, I am familiar with the grassland. I have crossed the border of the vast sea several times and am familiar with the environment and climate there. I will bring my own children to form a branch. Please agree with the Emperor."

Lu Mou thought for a moment: "Old man, since you are old, just choose some soldiers."

Old Bayan tore open his chest at that time: "Does the Emperor think I am old? Does the Emperor dare to compete with me in drawing a stiff bow or riding a fierce horse?"

This is the heroic character of the Mongolians. Lu Mou laughed loudly: "I don't dare to compete with the old man with a stiff bow or a strong horse. I would like to ask the old man to stay and stabilize the morale of the army. I dare to fight with the old man for three days."

After saying this, Lao Bayan understood the emperor's heart.

In fact, in terms of prestige of the Mongolian coalition forces in the liberated areas, Zu Dashou was not as good as himself. After all, most of the people here have joined the resistance against the slave masters under their own connection. Everyone respects themselves, but in fact they listen to themselves.

This attack will most likely be led by Zukefa. With him gone, these people really have to hold the situation together themselves.

So he boldly agreed: "Since the emperor wants to have a drinking contest with me, I will accompany you as ordered." (End of Chapter)
