Chapter 73 Surround the Rebels!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Hu Yiba and others throwing "sweet wine jars" and knew that he must have the support methods sent by his younger brother Zhu Han.
He was overjoyed and ordered loudly.
"Go forward and kill the Tartars!"
With the sound of war drums and horns, the rebels began to advance with firm steps.
With the advancement of swords and spears, the chaotic Mengyuan soldiers soon could not hold on.
"Get back!"
"Run quickly, the thief has demon fire!"
"Immortal Fire!"
These Mongolian and Seme armored soldiers were released and fled back to their lives, and all the companions burning with flames were abandoned.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
The rebels cheered for victory.
The Tartar army was still eyeing it, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not chase it desperately. He just killed the wounded Tartar soldiers on the battlefield and returned to the formation.
Immediately afterwards, the rebels' swords and shields scattered out of the array, cut off the heads of the Tartar soldiers, and took off their armor and weapons.
In the fierce battle just now, both sides suffered casualties and were basically more than a thousand people.
However, as the retreating side, most of the wounded soldiers were unable to be treated and were all cut off by the rebels.
The minor and serious wounded soldiers in the rebel army can be dragged back to the formation for treatment. As long as they are not fatal injuries, they can all survive with the blessing of Zhu Han's antibiotics.
The instant change in the battle made Alu Hui, who was still preparing to line up, very angry.
At this time, Ahma led the front army to retreat helplessly.
As soon as he saw Alu Hui, he immediately knelt down and apologized.
"Zhongcheng, the last general is incompetent. The thief has used the demon fire and cannot fight again!" Ahema said.
Alu Hui had already seen the battle situation just now.
Originally, the Red Thief was powerless, but suddenly a lot of strong flames emerged, defeating the Mongolian Yuan army.
"Get the troops together!"
Alu Hui said calmly.
In this case, even if you punish generals such as Ahma, it will be useless.
The Red Turban Army has regained its morale. I don’t know how many of those terrible flame weapons are. If they continue to attack, will they fall on their heads again.
Alu Hui was very worried about these things, not to mention that it was not too early and he could no longer continue fighting.
He simply gathered the army and could not defend it with the trenches and village walls.
Anyway, as long as the Yuan army is nailed to Qingyuan Town, the Red Turban Army will not be able to move forward at all.
Unless they come and take the initiative to attack.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew about the Yuan army's plans.
As soon as he saw Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say.
"Brother, I took out all the 'sweet wine jars' just now. The Tartars are going to be turtles, so let's burn them out!"
When Zhu Han heard this, he immediately shook his head.
"Brother, those sweet wine cans are very expensive, and the raw materials are very small. Hu Yiba's throw just now, and he has consumed almost everything, and there is no more left to use."
Just now, Hu Yiba led the engineer team to throw a "incendiary bomb", but Zhu Han felt very distressed.
Hu Yiba and others were not in charge of the family and did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. The incendiary bombs seemed to be worthless and threw them desperately on the head of Yuan Jun.
Although the results of the battle are brilliant, they are consumed very quickly, and there is almost no amount left.
Just now, Hu Yiba came back excitedly to celebrate the merits, but Zhu Han didn't give him any good looks.
"What? Is it useless?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately surprised when he heard this.
For these incendiary bombs, Zhu Han spent a full amount of military pay and money.
In just a short while, I was used up all of them!
"Yes, there are not many anymore. The Yuan army's fortifications are not simple. Let's prepare other means!" Zhu Han said.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and ordered the entire army to retreat and prepare to set up camp.
As for how to conquer Qingyuan Town, we can only wait until tomorrow.
The rebel army and the Yuan army began to confront each other.
The rebels cut down trees and began to make equipment to cross trenches and climb village walls, while the Yuan army sent cavalry to harass them.
Small-scale battles occurred on both sides from time to time, with each other killed and injured.
The rebels' offensive preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
After some tests, Alu Hui has basically concluded that there are not many "demon fires" of the Red Turban Army.
At this moment, news came from behind Chuzhou that the rebels in Chuzhou were revived when they heard the attack of the Red Turban Army and were about to advance to Chuzhou.
Therefore, Alu Hui had no time to waste it. He had to seize the time to defeat the Red Turban Army and then return to Chuzhou to suppress the rebellion.
"Come!"
"Transfer to Hardy, Ahma and others to prepare for them. This Central Chief will attack the entire army tomorrow!"
Alu Hui's decisive attack surprised Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
The next morning.
The Yuan army was ready to detach the camp early.
Tens of thousands of troops lined up in front of the camp, and drums were also sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides.
Seeing all this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized the intentions of the Mongolians.
"Are these Tartars ready to launch a general attack?"
Zhu Han nodded, and he also agreed with the brother's judgment very much.
"It seems that the Yuan army is ready to fight to the death and does not intend to waste it."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression frightened. The battle the day before yesterday gave him a higher estimate of the combat power of the Yuan army.
If the Yuan army fought desperately this time, the rebels really dare not say that they would win.
"We want to go to supervise the battle myself, and the rear army will be left to you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Han nodded very seriously and continued.
"Brother, don't worry, I will support you at critical moments!"
The Yuan army on both sides of the forest did not intend to hide and began to appear on the edge of the forest.
They wanted to surround the rebels from three sides to create momentum.
The rebel army led by Zhu Yuanzhang naturally would not be afraid of this method.
"Kill the Hulu and conquer Chuzhou!"
Zhu Yuanzhang led his personal soldiers to inspect the entire army.
Wherever you go, there is a thunderous cry immediately.
The soldiers of the rebel army also understood that today's battle is of great importance.
The more than 20,000 Yuan army in Chuzhou was the last military force of the Mongolian Yuan court in Jiangbei.
As long as they were defeated, the rebels could enter Chuzhou, with sufficient food and money, and no longer had to worry about being hungry and famine.
As for the Yuan army opposite, they also knew that the Red Turban Army in front of them was very famous. They first conquered Haozhou and then seized Dingyuan. They could be called the most powerful thief army in Huainan and Jiangbei.
If this Red Trouble was defeated, the Yuan army could take the front line of Dingyuan Haozhou, and the imperial court would definitely have a very generous reward.
Both sides carried out their pre-war deployments with a mentality of seeking victory.
The straitors and archers of the rebel army rushed out of the formation one by one, and used crossbows to drive away the haunted Mongolian cavalry around them.
These light cavalry swam back and forth around the rebels, and would rush up to shoot arrows from time to time.
