high official

Chapter 311
Zhu Di led the former army and arrived at Tieshan at dusk. Encouraged by the great victory, the soldiers chased for a hundred miles. At this moment, they were finally a little tired. Zhu Di ordered everyone to eat a handful of fried noodles quickly, and wait for the big troops to come together. Come, launch an attack now!

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are all exhausted..." Liu Jiang, the former military commander, had no choice but to advise, "It's better to rest for one night and attack again tomorrow morning."

"No!" Zhu Di said decisively: "The enemy will be defeated tonight, and tomorrow we will not be able to attack!"

The generals were stunned, and only heard the emperor's deep voice: "One, our army is fighting and chasing death and chasing the north. We can continue without rest. Rest for one night, and we will be more tired tomorrow. Two, the other side has become A frightened bird will collapse after a little fright. But they must take advantage of the darkness when they can't figure out our reality and stay on the impression of hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, so as to achieve this effect. Once tomorrow dawns, they will see our numbers No more than them, they will become very calm." After a pause, he said: "Three of them, they are condescending, and they are all good archers. If we attack at dawn, the soldiers will become living targets. Covering the attack can greatly reduce casualties!"

After hearing the emperor's reasons, all the generals were persuaded, and they went back to mobilize their soldiers and began to prepare for the attack.Zhu Di leaned on a sword and stood on the hilltop, looking at the setting sun like blood in the sky. His face blackened by gunpowder smoke was full of determination. Only Wang Yan, the servant who was closest to him, could see the anxiety in the emperor's eyes.

As a personal eunuch, Wang Yan knew that Zhu Di was working so hard. In the final analysis, the Ming army had no choice but to win quickly and big... Even if the Oirats lost this morning's battle, they could still adopt defensive and guerrilla strategies. Seek an unbeaten draw.But for the Ming army, a draw means failure, because of logistical problems, they simply don't have the capital to confront the enemy!If the army withdraws without solving the enemy at that time, then the return journey of thousands of miles on the vast prairie will be the road to death for most of the Ming army!
This statement is not an exaggeration at all, because it is difficult for the Ming army to safely withdraw from the battlefield while the Oala army is still fighting.Because of the difficulty in communication between the various armies in this era, it is difficult to retreat in an orderly manner... Of course, the Mongols who are used to fleeing are an exception.Even if the well-trained Ming army can barely maintain order, but when Lao Shi came on an expedition and retreated without winning, it is undoubtedly a failure in the hearts of the soldiers... Once the army's morale is shaken, even a bluffing attack by the Mongols may cause a disaster. Everyone scrambled for a big defeat, such as the Battle of Feishui.

Therefore, there is only one way for Zhu Di, which is to quickly defeat Oala, so that he can safely evacuate from the Mongolian grassland!

It was precisely because of this that he personally raised a knife to slash people, and he personally led the team to chase hundreds of miles away. Now he is going to launch an offensive overnight. Don't give him a chance to slow down and turn around!
It is said that good military strategists are well versed in psychology. Zhu Di is an example. He has a keen insight into that Mahamu has been immersed in the sweat dream and cannot extricate himself.Although I suffered a defeat today, but the main force is still there, it is impossible to change my nature immediately. I will be like a gambler, losing my mind and eager to make money!

Once he gets through the night and wakes up after a nap, he may forget the dream of sweating and realize that he is a rogue. That will be a nightmare for the Ming army!

That's why Zhu Di said, victory is tonight!After tonight, victory will be slim...

.

Before the attack, the biggest problem encountered by the Ming army was the shortage of major generals... This is not surprising. Chasing death and chasing the north, there is no formation at all, and it is even normal for some troops to chase in the wrong direction.At the end of Youshi, the Ming army finally assembled 2 horses. Zhu Di said that it was almost done, so he used these 2 people to attack, and told them not to dismount later, and prepare to pursue them!

This time, the generals tried to persuade the emperor, and finally persuaded him to watch the battle from the rear, and let them organize the attack.Although Zhu Di has the character of a desperado, he will not take risks in vain.Attacking a fortification is not a joke, it is taking human life to fill it, no matter how many guards are there.What's more, the soldiers couldn't see him, so the effect of motivation was greatly reduced, so why take that risk?So he agreed to the generals' request and let the king of Han go to battle for him.

In any case, Zhu Gaoxu is a fierce general. He lost his temperature in Hulan earlier. He led his subordinates to kill seven in and seven out, smashing the left wing of the enemy army. Ghost.He and Ningyang Hou Chen Mao's troops divided into two groups. Chen Mao led 3000 people to counterattack on the left side, while he concentrated his forces and stormed the right side of the Wala camp.

The torches in front of Wala’s camp were shining brightly like daylight, and knowing that they were close at hand, everyone was on the alert, and no one would sleep at all, so the Ming army could not sneak attack, they could only attack by force!Under the command of His Highness the King of Han, they rushed to the enemy's camp wall in a group of ten, holding their shields high and carrying logs.

Zhu Di is not a god who cannot make mistakes, at least he is a little bit wrong... Under the illumination of countless pine torches, the bows and arrows of the Oirats are like locusts. Being condescending, the lethality is greatly increased, and it can even pierce the shield of the Ming army!

Although Wala's camp is ridiculously simple in the eyes of the Ming people, it is not even as good as the camp they set up during the march, but don't be convinced, this simple camp wall will make the Ming army pay a huge price Suddenly, the soldiers rushing to the front were shot by arrows and fell down one after another. Almost in the blink of an eye, the walls of the Oirat army's camp were full of Ming soldiers who were shot by arrows.The arrow rain of the Oirat army did not mean to stop at all.The archery skills they had no chance to show during the day were finally unleashed at this moment!
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were red, and he personally led his troops to rush up, but it was still useless. If his personal soldiers did not fight to the death to protect each other, His Royal Highness King Han of the Ming Dynasty would have died in this battle!

Zhu Di watched the battle from a distance, and sent a thousand soldiers around him. Under the leadership of the commander Lu Xing, these soldiers approached the Oala camp, and then took off the weapons from their backs—all of them were uniform. standard firearms!After reloading the ammunition, aim and shoot skillfully!

When the sound of dense firecrackers sounded, the Mongols were stunned. Didn't it mean that the army's Shenji Battalion was still far away? !Mahamu obviously didn't know much about the Shenji Battalion, and didn't know that there were still a thousand cavalry in its establishment!Just because they didn't know it, they killed Wala soldiers, and Heigulongdong couldn't see how many Ming troops there were. They thought that the opponent was still firing ten thousand guns!In the daytime, the terrifying scene of the man mowing the grass suddenly appeared before the eyes of everyone, and the fear suddenly enveloped the sky over the camp.
In fact, with the darkness and such a long distance, the Ming army couldn't kill a few Oirats at all, but the impression during the day was so deep that they all frightened them to the ground!This is Zhu Di's so-called frightened bird!

The Ming army seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and rushed to the camp wall without shields, carrying logs. When the Oirat army reacted and stood up again to shoot arrows, it was already too late... The logs slammed into the fragile On the wall of the camp, the Mongols' civil engineering was obviously not strong enough, and a hole was knocked open in one fell swoop.As more logs hit the wall, the entire camp wall was crumbling, and the Oirat soldiers could no longer shoot arrows on it, and jumped down one after another.

As the impact became more and more violent, the camp wall finally fell down, the Ming army swarmed in, and the Oirat army's defense line was completely lost. However, the Oirats had realized that if they retreated, they would fail completely.The three leaders also followed the lead of the Ming emperor and led their men to fight tenaciously with the Ming army in the camp.

The fighting in the Wara barracks was loud, and the soldiers of both sides fought together. Whether it was a place with bright torches or a dark place without light, soldiers from the two armies were fighting hand-to-hand everywhere. Many people were even accidentally killed by friendly soldiers who were red-eyed. !
The battle has become fierce. In this kind of foot battle where the bayonet is red, the mace of the Ming army is obviously not as good as the saber of the Oirat army. The casualties of the Ming army are very heavy. The governor Ma Ju was injured, and he commanded Manduli and other senior generals. They all died in battle, let alone ordinary soldiers...

Zhu Di's holy car has moved to the front line, and this war genius took advantage of his own side's capture of the periphery to bring a thousand cavalry, and they were heavy cavalry up the mountain... During the previous observation, he keenly discovered that the Vala barracks is suitable for Horse racing is conditional to launch a cavalry charge.

Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, Zhu Di immediately led the heavy cavalry to launch an attack... His judgment this time was completely correct. When the cavalry rushed up, they could no longer stop them, like hot knives cutting butter, they rushed straight into the depths of the camp!The Wala soldiers who dared to block were all directly knocked into the air. Of course, some soldiers of the Ming army were unable to dodge and were accidentally injured, but this is a battlefield, and the battle situation is the first.

The Ming army had heavy cavalry, as if it had a backbone, and the soldiers followed the heavy cavalry in and out. Any Oirat army would collapse at a touch, and the defense lines everywhere fell.The Ming army took the opportunity to launch a general attack. Under their full-line attack, the Oirat army could not resist and was about to be surrounded and wiped out. The three leaders saw the opportunity the fastest, turned around and ran away!Seeing that the leaders have all run away, what reason does the Oirat Army have to persist?Immediately crash across the board and scatter in all directions!

At this time, Zhu Di waved his flag, and the cavalry troops who arrived at the battlefield immediately set off. When they bypassed the two high mountains, they had an encounter with the Oirat army who had just mounted their horses and regrouped. The courage of the Oirat army to fight this time None at all, almost crashing at the touch of a button.

The Ming army chased and killed the fleeing Oirat army overnight. Fengcheng Hou Li Bin and others chased them all the way to the Tuci River, where they captured thousands of Oirat soldiers and ten thousand Oirat horses...
