Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

The generals of both sides stood in front of the battle formation, their eyes sharp, and there seemed to be a lightning-fast confrontation between them. Every slight movement touched the hearts of thousands of soldiers behind them.

"Although these savages don't look well-equipped, they look murderous."

Li Jinglong looked at the Jurchen camp in front of him.

"They live in this bitter cold land, so naturally they have good fighting ability, just like the Tartars in the grasslands."

Chang Mao on the side said lightly.

"Humph! They are powerful, but our Ming soldiers are not bad either."

Lan Yu sneered.

"Master Lan is absolutely right!"

"Tell the soldiers not to underestimate the enemy. These savages are very strong."

"Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"understand……"

The generals nodded one after another.

"Guo Ying, Chang Mao!"

"exist!"

"You will lead your men to fight them later."

"Do you dare?"

"The general will go where he wishes!"

The two said in unison.

"it is good!"

..........................................

In the Jurchen camp!
"Sir, do you know the commander inside?"

Meng Ge turned and looked at Yao Guangxiao.

"The commander on the opposite side, Lan Yu, is the brother-in-law of the Prince of Kaiping of the Ming Dynasty, and the brother-in-law of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. He is Zhu Xiongying's great-uncle."

"How does this man lead the troops?"

"Although not as good as Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others, but not bad either."

"This man is a brave general with good military skills, but he is very arrogant and domineering, and is not well received by Zhu Yuanzhang."

Mengge nodded when he heard this.

"Sir, do you have any method to defeat the enemy?"

"Although Lan Yu's military skills are not as good as Xu Da and his men, they are not bad either. We have to wait and see."

"it is good!"

"Then let's fight them and see."

Yao Guangxiao nodded.

Mengge raised his hand and a cavalry rushed out immediately.

As soon as he rushed out, the Ming army sounded the horn.

Chang Mao and Guo Ying led the cavalry to charge out.

Mengge raised his hand and a cavalry rushed out immediately.

As soon as he rushed out, the Ming army sounded the horn.

Chang Mao and Guo Ying led the cavalry to charge out.

Both sides increased their speed to the maximum and rushed towards each other.

"Cannons ready!"

"put!"

At the command, the Ming army's scouts roared one after another.

Boom boom boom boom~~~
The cannons fired continuously, and shells spurted out from the muzzles and headed straight for the Jurchen troops.

The shells were like meteors, streaking across the sky, and the roar was deafening.

The artillery fire on Lan Yu's side was also very fierce. There was a loud bang, and one shell after another hit the Jurchen cavalry team, splashing up clouds of smoke, and then more shells fell.

"ah!!!"

The Jurchens screamed in agony, and many Jurchen soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

One Jurchen soldier had his leg broken and fell off his horse, another had half of his head blown off, and four or five others were seriously injured.

The Ming army's cannons did not stop firing. The shells continued to fly out and explode, completely destroying the formation of the Jurchen soldiers.

They advanced under the artillery fire, but they were unable to resist the intensive fire. They screamed and fell off their horses, falling into a pool of blood.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Chang Mao and Guo Ying did not suffer any attacks and led their men towards the Jurchen cavalry.

Soon the Ming army's artillery fire stopped.

"Fire arrows!"

Guo Ying gave the order!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!
Dense swarms of arrows flew over and instantly covered the Jurchen camp.

The Jurchen soldiers were shot through by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

Before the two sides came into contact, the Jurchens had already lost some people.

"asshole!"

"Fire arrows!"

When the Jurchen general who led the team saw his men being shot and killed, he quickly ordered his men to shoot.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!”

Dense crossbow arrows shot past, one row after another, hitting the gaps in front of the Ming army's shields, leaving only a few scratches on the shields.

The Ming army's shields had amazing defensive power, and this shooting was completely ineffective against them.

"Kill!"

"Go!"

Suddenly the two sides bumped into each other!
Bang, bang, bang….
Bullets flew everywhere, blood flew everywhere, limbs were broken, and countless people fell in a pool of blood. Their howls, their wails, their struggles all became a tribute to their lives. The blood gathered into a river in the mud, flowing slowly down the hillside.

The two sides fought fiercely, people kept falling down and getting up, and both sides were unwilling to retreat and only wanted to kill the other side here.

The Jurchens were unwilling to be outdone. They had not expected that the Ming Dynasty would be so powerful and make them pay such a painful price right from the start.

The casualties on both sides continued to rise, but neither side was willing to retreat.

"what!"

A Jurchen man was chopped to the ground and then trampled by the people around him.

"I'll fight you!"

A Jurchen man roared and charged towards a Ming soldier.

"court death!"

The Ming soldier's eyes turned red. He kicked the Jurchen man to the ground, and then stabbed him again.

Pfft~~~
The Jurchens fell in a pool of blood with bloodshot eyes.

"Go!"

A Ming army soldier roared, raised his weapon, and bravely charged towards the Jurchens.

"The Ming army's combat effectiveness is indeed strong."

Mengge looked at the situation on the battlefield and found that the balance of victory had begun to tilt towards the Ming army.

"Great Khan! Zhu Yuanzhang was able to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, so he must have some talent."

"Otherwise I would not have been able to establish the Ming Dynasty."

Mengge nodded.

"Sir, do we want to support the battlefield?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head: "The Ming army is better equipped than us, and has more people than us."

"If we continue to fight, we won't gain any advantage. We should call it a day and make long-term plans!"

Brother Meng nodded: "Sound the retreat!"

That's it! Evacuate!
"Huh? Why don't you fight?"

"Cowarded?"

Li Jinglong was puzzled when he saw the Jurchens withdrawing their troops.

"They probably realized that if they continued the fight, they wouldn't gain any advantage."

Chang Sheng said calmly from the side.

"Blue Commander, shall we chase him?"

"Need not!"

"withdraw troops!"

Both sides began to withdraw their troops and sent people to clean up the battlefield and recover the bodies of the dead soldiers.

Jurchen camp!
Inside the central military tent!
"Sir, the Ming army is strong. Do you have any way to defeat the enemy?"

Meng Ge looked at Yao Guangxiao and said calmly that Yao Guangxiao had now become his military advisor.

Yao Guangxiao frowned, lowered his head and said nothing.

"Sir, please speak!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Think of a way."

"..."

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything, the generals became a little anxious.

"Generals, please be patient, please be patient."

"Let me think about it!"

The Ming army now has 200,000 troops, while their total strength is only 100,000.

In terms of numbers alone, they were not at an advantage, and the Ming army was also well-equipped and no match for them.

The Ming army’s cannons alone were enough to give them a hard time, so what else could they use to fight back?

In addition, Goguryeo originally agreed to send troops, but Zhu Yuanzhang released Lee Seong-gye. The situation in Goguryeo was instantly under control, and the troops could not be sent at all. The grassland was completely pacified by the Ming army.

Now they can only rely on themselves, no one will help them anymore.

"Don't make any noise, let the gentleman think about it."

Mengge spoke, and they could only hold it in.

The big tent suddenly became quiet.

In their opinion, there is no solution that Yao Guangxiao cannot think of, and Yao Guangxiao now holds a very high status in their hearts.

It was Yao Guangxiao's advice that enabled them to unify all the Jurchen tribes. Without Yao Guangxiao, their Handoli tribe would have had no ability to unify.

Even if there is, it will be hundreds of years later!

So it can be said that Yao Guangxiao single-handedly brought this event forward by a hundred years.

Just ask you if you are awesome?

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao had an idea!
"Have it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Sir, what is the solution?"

Mengge looked at him expectantly.

"Although the Ming army is strong, we are not without advantages!"

"As the military manual says, war cannot be won without the right time, right place, and right people."

“We just happen to occupy them all.”

"is it?"

"I hope sir can clear up my confusion."

Brother Meng looked like he was humbly asking for advice.

"As for the weather, we are in Liaodong where the weather is extremely cold. We, the Jurchens, have lived here for generations. Naturally, the people of the Central Plains are not as adaptable as we are."

“This is the right time!”

"What about Dili?"

A general asked doubtfully.

"As I just said, we Jurchens have lived here for generations. How could they be as familiar with the terrain and geographical advantages as we are?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

“This is what we call geographical advantage.”

"And people and people!"

"That's even easier!"

"We, the Jurchen people, are now all united against the outside world."

"This is the right time, right place, and right people!"

"With these three things, we will definitely win."

Yao Guangxiao is very confident.

"Sir, I still don't understand. Although what you said makes sense, how should we specifically eliminate the Ming army?"

"Their fighting capacity is not bad, they are well-equipped, and they also have the support of the people."

"so……"

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "General Tuliqing, this is very simple."

"You're all good at hunting, right?"

"What does hunting require?"

"Of course we set a trap. Once the prey enters the trap, can they still escape?"

The generals nodded, not quite understanding.

............................................................

Ming army camp!

Inside the central military tent!
"Blue Commander, what should we do next?"

"After today's battle, I'm afraid they won't fight easily."

Guo Ying looked at Lan Yu and said calmly.

"Besides, the weather is cold, and our soldiers are not as resistant to cold as those savages."

"If it takes too long, I'm afraid the soldiers will get upset."

This statement was agreed by all the generals.

Although they could chop firewood for heating, most of the people there were from the Central Plains, and some were even from the South.

Staying in this cold environment for a long time will definitely make you feel emotional.

There might be a mutiny!

"General Lan, when we were going to the battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there was Yao Guangxiao on the other side. He is a very smart man."

"Do you think he wants to kill us?"

Li Jinglong on the side said that although today's battle has just begun, as a general, he must plan for the future.

Be prepared for a rainy day and take everything into consideration, otherwise wouldn't hundreds of thousands of soldiers lose their lives?
Therefore, not everyone can command a large army in battle, and fighting a war is not just about deploying troops.

You also need to consider various aspects, such as how many infantry, how many cavalry, how many archers, how many shield soldiers, etc.

All of these need to be taken into consideration!

Li Jinglong is called the God of War of the Ming Dynasty on the Internet, but he was able to lead an army of 500,000 to attack the mountainous and deep-water city of Peking.

If he hadn't let them go, we would have captured it long ago. Do you still think Li Jinglong is a fool?
You say he is not as capable as his father, that is possible, but he is definitely not a fool.

On the contrary, he is quite awesome.

That's too far!
Closer to home!
"Your Highness has also told me this. The evil monk Yao Guangxiao is a man who deceives people and schemes like a demon."

"We have to be on guard against this!"

"If Your Highness hadn't wanted to spare his life, I would have chopped him to pieces."

Lan Yu said coldly.

After a pause, he continued, "It is undeniable now that they want to drag us to death."

"But they can't delay for long. Spring will come in a few months. As long as there is no late spring cold snap, they can't kill us."

Lan Yu hit the nail on the head and got to the point about the crux of the matter.

"Then what should we do? If we fight for several months but achieve nothing, it will be hard to explain to His Majesty!"

Everyone nodded. This was indeed true. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, those civil servants would definitely report them.

They were said to have accomplished nothing and wasted the manpower and resources of the court, and that they would not only have gained nothing but would also have been guilty.

Just when everyone was frowning, the guard came with a report.

"General Lan, someone outside wants to see you."

"who?"

“They said they were bad people.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Bad people?"

"Is the Crown Prince here?"

"no!"

"Just two guys wearing masks."

"Let them in quickly!"

"Yes!"

Soon, two bad guys walked in.

"Bad Guy Captain Tian Guxing, greetings to Commander Lan."

"No need to be so polite, Captain."

"Captain, do you have any instructions for me, Your Highness?"

The Bad People are Zhu Xiongying's subordinates, so even the most arrogant Lan Yu has to speak nicely to them.

"General Lan, we are the people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left in Liaodong to monitor Yao Guangxiao. This time we came here to inform General Lan that the Jurchens have set a trap and are waiting for General Lan to fall into it."

After hearing this, the generals couldn't help but frown.

"What are they going to do?"

Tian Guxing handed Lan Yu an envelope and said, "It's all in here."

"Farewell!"

After that, turn around and leave!
Lan Yu looked at the two people's backs as they left, glanced at the envelope in his hand, and opened it to take a look.

His eyes became sharp!

"This Yao Guangxiao is really cruel. He actually came up with such a vicious plan."

"Blue Commander, what's wrong?"

Lan Yu sat back in his seat and shook the letter in his hand.

"Yao Guangxiao has come up with a plan to deal with us."

"What is it?"

Everyone looked at Lan Yu in confusion.

"They know that our equipment is better than theirs, so they want to send a team to pretend to be the main force to attack us from a detour."

"Force us to adjust the position of our artillery, and then send people to lure our main force into battle."

"They led them to the Snow Valley, where they set up all kinds of traps for catching animals."

"Then they ambushed us and devoured us in one fell swoop."

"Before that, we have to drag it out, preferably until our soldiers are in a good mood."

"Because that's when it's easiest to be fooled."
