It's sapphire again, it's a sneak attack from behind, a familiar formula, a familiar taste.
It’s hard not to be familiar with it. Chahan Timur was unlucky with this trick when he later launched a sneak attack on Kaiping City to deal with the Japanese pirates... Sapphire became more and more proficient the more he used it, and his fingernails grew hairy - a veteran!
Isn’t Wang Baobao prepared?
In fact, this is not the case. Since Wang Baobao is determined to decide the outcome in one battle, it is impossible for Wang Baobao not to do his homework.
The reason why he did not expect it was because he could not believe that the three vassal kings Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang's precious sons, came from Hetao with more than 100,000 troops. They would
Act as the unlucky guy who attracts the enemy's main force.
This is completely unreasonable!
Three vassal princes, the emperor's legitimate sons.
The Ming Dynasty was not like the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and it could not afford to risk the prince until it was at the end of its rope.
The only reasonable explanation is that Ming Dynasty has won too much and has forgotten about it, thinking that anyone sent can achieve meritorious service. In this case, why not give the three vassal kings a chance?
This is why Wang Baobao made up his mind to take a gamble.
The Ming Dynasty was negligent and the prince led the troops. If he did not dare to send out troops, he would be too cowardly.
Wang Baobao looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed, his calculation was still wrong.
What a Ming Dynasty, what a Zhu Yuanzhang!
Wang Baobao gritted his teeth. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield all his life, at this moment, he maintained a rare calmness... What should I do?
Lead the troops and flee back immediately?
But the problem is that He Lin has been lost, his family has been captured, and his way back has been cut off. Is there any possibility of escape?
Moreover, at this moment, not only was he suffering from old illnesses, and his time was running out, but he also had little room for retreat. Should he go to the river and join Timur?
It’s like a joke!
Wang Baobao is a man who is upright and upright. I would rather die standing than live in an ignoble way.
What's more, I may not die yet.
There is another opportunity before me. As long as I concentrate all my efforts, open the Ming army camp, capture the three kings, and exchange them for my family, it is not impossible!
"How far away is Sapphire?"
The messenger immediately said: "The villain is working hard and running with all his strength. It will take at least two days for Lan Yu's troops to arrive! Your Majesty, please make plans in advance!"
"Two days, two more days... Okay, you can go down and rest first. You will be rewarded later."
The messenger quickly agreed and turned to leave. At this moment, Wang Baobao suddenly raised his sleeve and a short hammer flew out, hitting the messenger on the back of the head.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound, and the messenger trembled all over, lying on the ground. He tried his best to turn his head and stare at Wang Baobao.
"Why, why?"
Wang Baobao didn't speak, he just waved his hand, and someone else came over, beheaded him, and stepped aside. Wang Baobao looked at the headless corpse on the ground indifferently, and the fingers in his sleeves trembled slightly.
With his ability, even five years ago, he could have killed him with one blow without even having a chance to speak.
But today, it took so much effort to kill such an unknown person, and the wrist joints began to hurt again, along with the knees and ankles.
My heart was pounding to the bone, my whole body was shaking, and my back was soaked with cold sweat.
It's really over, this life may be the last chance.
Wang Baobao ordered the news to be blocked. If anyone came to deliver a message, he would be killed immediately.
He sat in silence for almost an hour, and then gave the order to start the fourth watch and storm the Ming army camp!
The battle started again, much earlier than before.
"Wang Baobao, you don't sleep even though you're old, and you still have to sleep! You thunderous old bastard!" Zhu Di cursed, without any kind words at all.
Now that things have come to this, what else can we do? Let’s fight!
Zhu Di sent out all the gunmen from Prince Yan's Mansion.
This was something Lan Yu helped him train, and it was almost a life-saving weapon, so Zhu Di didn't care about it.
"Get out of my way, I will die with the old bastard!"
Zhu Di held the sword and supervised the battle everywhere, non-stop.
His throat felt like it was on fire. After a whole day, his throat was bleeding and he almost lost the ability to speak.
In front of him, rows of Yuan troops were shot to death with fire cannons, and their corpses lay scattered across the open space in front of the camp.
The Ming army was equally exhausted. On several occasions, the Yuan army broke into the camp, and Zhu Di even had to personally supervise the battle and plug the gaps.
"Second brother, third brother...I, I'm afraid that one day, we won't be able to hold on anymore."
Zhu Xi did not speak, but took out a water bag and handed it to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was stunned subconsciously. Is there still water to drink?
"It's mare's milk, drink it!"
Zhu Di took it and took a few sips. He found that it was indeed mare's milk and it was very fresh. It was really surprising.
"Second brother, please take a few sips too!"
Zhu Fang swallowed and wanted to drink, but he still held back.
"I, I still have it! You, take it with you!" Zhu Xi then said: "The third, fourth, and Wang surnamed people are going to fight hard. We don't know what happened to the two groups. I think you still have to break through.
Bar!"
Zhu Fan frowned, "Second brother, if we want to break out, let's go together! Wang Baobao can't stop us!"
Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "We set out this time without any results. We just ran away. How can we face the people in the world?"
"Then, you can't keep your second brother as a heir!"
Zhu Di also helped: "That is, the prince of the Ming Dynasty cannot fall into the hands of Wang Laogou."
Zhu Chong suddenly laughed, "Fourth brother, do you think Wang Baobao can catch me? The Ming Dynasty only had King Qin who died in battle, and Zhu Chong was not captured! No matter what, I will fight with him to the end!"
"Second brother, it's obvious that I should be the one to cut him off!" Zhu Di yelled.
Zhu Fang sneered and said: "What are you robbing? You are not married yet and you have no children. If you die, the lineage of King Yan will be extinct!"
Zhu Di was left speechless, and Zhu Fan said in a dull voice: "Second brother, I am also married. I will break up with you and let the fourth child run away!"
Zhu Di is really worried. You two are heroes, am I just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
"If you want to fight hard, come together. Maybe when Lan Yu arrives, we will win."
Can Sapphire come?
The three brothers couldn't say for sure, but there was one thing they knew very well. Five hundred war horses had been killed today. Due to lack of water, the horse's blood was extremely thick, and it was disgusting to drink it in the mouth.
But even so, it is almost gone.
Without water to drink, tens of thousands of people will collapse at any time!
It's not that they were unprepared, but when they arrived on the battlefield, no matter how much preparation they made, they would inevitably make mistakes.
There was actually a well at this former warehouse site of Yuan Ting, but no one expected that due to lack of rainfall, the water in the well dropped too fast. After only two days of use, there was no drop left.
"It would be nice if it rained!" Zhu Di muttered.
Zhu Fan rolled his eyes at him, "What are you dreaming about? On the grassland, there is already little precipitation, so you still think about heavy rain?"
Zhu Di rolled his eyes helplessly, "No matter what, it's always good to miss me a little!"
The three brothers did not discuss the outcome, and when they separated, they did not notice that there was a cloud rolling in the southeast, expanding its area.
The battle on this day broke out just after the third watch.
The Yuan army did not even wait until the fourth watch.
They lit torches and fought at night, and like a tide of soldiers and horses, they rushed towards the Ming army camp.
It's a life-threatening attitude right from the start,
There are as many as a dozen places, all of which are in danger.
Zhu Di had no choice but to pick up his sword and supervise the battle. He shouted loudly and went into battle himself. He was so thirsty that he drank up the mare's milk given by his second brother. Only then did he discover that there was a piece of silver in the water bag.
It is silver that can sterilize and extend the storage time of mare's milk, otherwise it will deteriorate.
Zhu Di finally learned another trick.
But this can't help him defeat the Yuan army!
Seeing that the daylight was not far away, the Yuan army's offensive must be more fierce, and no matter what, they could not withstand it.
Am I, Zhu Di, going to die here?
"Lan, why don't you come?"
Zhu Di almost wanted to cry, but he had no tears.
The soldiers had reached their limit. The wet soil from the well was taken out and put in their mouths...the horse blood and urine became treasures.
They even had to catch their own urine... without water, it was definitely the cruelest punishment, enough to make people collapse.
Wang Baobao, just wait, don’t fall into my hands, or I’ll kill you!
The cry of killing rang out again, and the Yuan army rushed forward again. The Ming army, which was seriously short of water, could no longer raise its strength. People kept falling down. The entire battlefield was in danger.
Suddenly, a gap appeared, and Zhu Di could only rush forward with his bodyguards, but as he ran forward, something suddenly fell on his face.
Zhu Di was startled for a moment, and then fell down one after another.
Zhu Di suddenly raised his head, it was rain!
That's right, a thick black cloud, carrying rain, sloping down.
At this moment, Zhu Di was almost crazy with joy.
It's raining!
God bless!
It's really raining!
Also going crazy were all the soldiers of the Ming Army. They opened their mouths wide and drank the rain greedily, their lost power quickly returning.
This is not only physical satisfaction, but also spiritual excitement!
Rain is falling from the sky, God is protecting us, the Mongols will definitely be defeated!
The Ming army, which was already half-dead, instantly resurrected on the spot, and was even more ferocious than before.
They roared strangely and rushed towards the Yuan army.
The Yuan army was blinded by the rain, and its morale plummeted.
At this moment, Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan were both overjoyed and looked horrified.
"It's really surprising to me that it's raining!"
"Third brother, what should I do?" Zhu Ping swallowed the rainwater and asked excitedly.
"What else can we do? Fight out! Take advantage of this surge of morale to disperse the Yuan army. This opportunity is not to be missed!"
"good!"
Zhu Ping decisively raised the banner and launched an attack with all his troops.
The Ming army, which had been suppressed for a long time, surged out like water from a bursting embankment.
The Yuan army, which originally had the upper hand, was retreating steadily and was in a state of disarray.
But at this moment, the drums and horns of the Yuan army behind them shook the sky!
Lan Yu's troops, who originally still had two days to go, took just over a day to reach them!
"Kill me hard!"
Lan Yu took the lead and rushed into the Yuan army's position.
In an instant, the outcome was reversed.
Wang Baobao could only say nothing.
It's obviously the last time, why isn't God willing to help me?
Just when Wang Baobao was in shock, Lan Yu led his troops and killed them in front of him. His men did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly protected Wang Baobao and escaped.
It was just the rainy weather that made Wang Baobao's illness several times more severe than usual. Coupled with the fact that he pretended to be calm and continued to command his troops, he was at the end of his game.
When he was trying to escape, he suddenly fell off the horse!
Lan Yu saw this and was overjoyed, "Wang Baobao is captured, Wang Baobao is finished!"
He rushed forward like crazy, but someone was faster than him.
Zhu Di held a knife and came with his guards to kill him. His eyes were red, "Wang Baobao is mine!"
At this moment, Wang Baobao still has a trace of reason.
If captured by them, life would be worse than death!
He took out the dagger from his arms and was about to kill himself.
But when he turned his hand to aim at his neck, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The deformed joints made it impossible for him to use any strength. In desperation, Wang Baobao could only scratch his neck, and his head followed suit. He just scratched several times in succession.
Just scratched a layer of skin!
In the end, it was Zhu Di who was one step ahead, "Wang Baobao, you are captured!"
