Dayan Khan was riding on horseback. He was already fat and bloated, but he wore a suit of armor and stomach.
The added weight is quite frightening!
His weight is very heavy, reaching an astonishing three hundred kilograms, which is almost twice as much as an ordinary person.
Coupled with the armor and stomach weighing dozens of kilograms, the weight of Dayan Khan's horse is approaching 400 kilograms!
It's fine if it's being dragged, but it's really a bit difficult for the horse to ride!
Even if the war horse under Dayan Khan's crotch was a good horse sold from the Western Regions. It was tall, strong, and had outstanding endurance, it could not bear Dayan Khan's weight at all.
The group of them had just left Lhasa, less than twenty miles away, when Dayan Khan's horse could no longer hold on.
Foam began to appear at the corners of his mouth, and his originally smooth mane was beaten into strands by the constant outpouring of sweat.
Under direct sunlight, the sweat dries up quickly, and obvious white sweat stains begin to appear on the horse's back!
Seeing this scene, Dayan Khan had to change his horse to ride.
However, after changing to a war horse, the war horse he replaced was not as good as his original one.
I only ran a few miles and then I couldn't run anymore!
Just change it again!
And, this kind of thing is not an isolated case.
Those aristocratic gentlemen are basically fat men, and riding horses is a very difficult thing for them.
Of course, it is also a very difficult thing for horses!
In the end, I had to switch from riding a horse to a carriage.
However, the speed of a carriage could not be compared to riding a horse, and the nobles also had to transfer their wealth, which further hindered the journey.
Gradually, the marching speed of the Kashote Khanate army slowed down.
Dayan Khan gasped for breath. He was too fat. Even if he was riding a horse, his physical strength was consumed very quickly.
The expression on his face was full of eagerness.
Because Dayan Khan can clearly detect threats.
Their current marching speed is too slow, and there is a risk of being overtaken by the Ming army at any time. Once caught up by the Ming army, the consequences will be disastrous.
Dayan Khan wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted heavily, and said.
"Quick...quick, pass on the order and speed up the march!"
"We must get rid of the Ming army!"
The army of the Khoshot Khanate received the military order, and their marching speed began to increase significantly.
However, this improvement is only temporary.
Not long after it picked up speed, it slowed down again.
Just when Dayan Khan was about to urge the march to speed up again, a group of Ming army elite cavalry appeared at the end of the eastern horizon.
The first thing that appeared was a large plume of smoke, and then in the blink of an eye, the Ming army's elite cavalry roared out of the smoke.
The red armor and stomach on their bodies are extremely eye-catching!
The elite cavalry of the Ming army did not immediately attack the troops of the Kashote Khanate, but watched from a distance.
Several of the sentry riders raised their binoculars and looked at the large, dark mass of the Kshote Khanate army at the end of their sight.
Dayan Khan also noticed the sudden appearance of the Ming army, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Knowing that this was the pursuit of the Ming army, they appeared!
However, he still pretended to be calm and spoke.
"Send the order and send out cavalry to drive away the attacking Ming army. The army continues to march, and don't slow down!"
However, after completing these instructions, Dayan Khan turned around and asked his personal guards to gather troops.
Be prepared to gather all the elite generals around you. If there is any disagreement, immediately abandon the others and retreat from the battlefield to protect you.
Facing the roaring cavalry of the Heshuote Khanate, the Ming army's cavalry did not fight in vain!
Instead, when the enemy came up to meet him, he quickly rode away.
At the same time, groups of elite cavalry from the Ming Army were scattered on the battlefield, and began to investigate the battlefield situation to determine whether there was an ambush in the Kashote Khanate.
After these elite cavalry were sure that there was no ambush, it was time for the main force of the Ming army led by Li Guangyuan to enter the scene!
Although the Ming army was confident, even if it was ambushed, it could break through the encirclement with its own elite.
However, when it comes to war, it’s better to be cautious!
…
"Report!"
"General, according to the inspection of our army's sentry cavalry, there are no ambushes around the battlefield!"
The sentry rider rode all the way to Li Guangyuan and reported to Li Guangyuan.
When Li Guangyuan heard this, a very obvious look of excitement flashed across his face and he spoke.
"Pass this general's order!"
"Army attack!"
"Target, capture Dayan Khan alive!"
The flag order of the Ming army changed, and teams of elite cavalry roared out of the formation.
The war horses galloped, their hooves trampled the ground, and they roared.
"kill!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
Amid waves of shouts, the Ming army's cavalry surged forward.
If you raise your sight, you will find that when the Ming cavalry rushes, it is like a red flame, constantly rolling and spreading.
Everything in its path was trampled and destroyed!
…
The army of the Khoshot Khanate was speeding up its march. After the Ming army's cavalry appeared once in public, almost everyone's faces were full of fear and fear.
Someone kept whipping the war horse hard, making a crackling sound.
The war horse was in pain, neighing loudly, and obviously sped up a lot.
But at this moment, there was a sudden rumble in the distance, like a thunderous sound.
The elite cavalry of the Ming army appeared on the battlefield and charged towards the marching army of the Khoshote Khanate.
The ground is shaking under the trampling of horse hooves!
The cavalry galloped, and their red armor formed an array. From a distance, they looked like burning flames.
Big flags were flying in the air, fluttering in the wind, and the huge clear characters were unusually eye-catching.
The cavalry of the Ming Army galloped in. The sun shone on the armor and stomach of the Ming Army cavalry, and the armor and stomach reflected the cold light.
Seeing this scene, Dayan Khan ordered troops to be sent to stop the incoming Ming cavalry.
At the same time, he ordered the people around him to be ready to protect himself and evacuate the battlefield at any time if the attack failed.
Under the order of Dayan Khan, thousands of cavalrymen of the Heshuote Khanate broke away from their ranks and faced the roaring Ming army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I want to stop the Ming army’s attack!
Facing the cavalry of the Heshuote Khanate who took the initiative to attack, the Ming army showed no fear at all.
Thousands of them marched across the plateau, penetrated deep behind the enemy lines, and penetrated thousands of miles in depth. They were almost unstoppable, and their record could be described as formidable.
In just a few months, after dozens of battles, nearly 100,000 enemy troops were continuously destroyed.
Invincible!
The Ming army now has absolute confidence when facing the army of the Khoshote Khanate.
Not to mention that the troops of the Heshuote Khanate that are now approaching to block the Ming army are only a small number, and their strength is not as large as that of the Ming army.
Even if Dayan Khan now sends out all his troops and swarms them, the Ming army will not be afraid of them.
The distance between the cavalry on both sides is constantly closing!
Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang bang bang!
Various musket shooting sounds continued one after another.
Still a certain distance away, the Ming army opened fire.
Smoke filled the air, and countless projectiles formed a dense rain of bullets, shooting towards the enemy in front of them.
The lead bullets flew everywhere, instantly beating the enemies in front of them to pieces!
Screams and wails suddenly sounded!
Then, there was the shotgun shot after hitting the face, and the six-shot salvo from the revolver.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, several gaps were blasted out of the oncoming cavalry array of the Khoshote Khanate.
The next moment, the heavy cavalry of the Ming army who rushed into the formation formed several vanguards and fell out of formation, pouring in through the gap.
Then start the big deep penetration!
As the Ming cavalry continued to rush in and out, the Heshuote Khanate cavalry in front of them was cut and scattered.
The cavalry of the Ming army roared in, their scimitars shining sharply.
The cavalry rode past, and with the help of the horse's speed, the sharp scimitar easily cut open the armor and stomach of the enemy in front of them.
Blood spurts out!
Under the action of abdominal pressure, a large amount of blood and internal organs gush out from the wounds in the waist and abdomen.
The soldiers of the Khoshote Khanate covered the wounds on their waists and abdomen, trying to stuff back the gushing internal organs, but it was in vain.
"ah……"
The shrill screams were not noticeable at all on such a battlefield where thousands of horses were galloping.
The sharp spear pierced through, like breaking through a piece of white paper, and could easily break through the armor of the soldiers of the Khoshote Khanate.
It can even pierce people and horses together.
The Kashote Khanate army that the Ming army is now facing is much more elite than those tribal coalition forces, but it is no match for the Ming army.
There is an insurmountable gap like a chasm between the two sides in different aspects such as training, armament, combat experience, and fighting will.
Just as soon as they made contact, there was a head-on confrontation, and the troops of the Khoshote Khanate that came to stop them were scattered by the Ming army.
The heavy cavalry is responsible for breaking the formation frontally, while the light cavalry is responsible for chasing down the enemy after breaking the formation to expand the results of the battle.
The Ming army's combat routine was very simple.
However, even with such a simple combat routine, the army of the Khoshot Khanate in front of them was completely powerless to resist.
During the roar, the Ming cavalry quickly completed the formation and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy.
The heavy cavalry continued to charge towards where Dayan Khan was without looking back, while the light cavalry split into two parts.
A part of them chased down the defeated troops who were scattered by the heavy cavalry to expand the results of the battle.
Some of them followed the heavy cavalry closely, ready to support the heavy cavalry in battle at any time.
Although the impact of heavy cavalry is very strong, its performance on the battlefield is quite limited.
There must be other arms to support and cooperate in combat, and even create opportunities for heavy cavalry, so that heavy cavalry can have room to show its power.
Otherwise, although the heavy rider is strong, there is a risk of overturning!
The heavy cavalry of the Ming army roared towards them, their armor was fierce, and their horseshoes reflected the cold light...
Dayan Khan just watched helplessly as the heavy cavalry of the Ming army came and charged into their formation.
A cavalryman named Heshuote Khanate was overwhelmed and trampled to pieces by heavy cavalry!
Regardless of whether they were nobles, monks, or ordinary soldiers, the moment they came into contact with the heavy cavalry of the Ming army, they disappeared directly under the hooves of the horses.
It turned into piles of minced meat!
It can be said that there is me in you and you in me.
Dayan Khan was filled with horror when he saw this scene.
too fast!
He failed too quickly!
Dayan Khan really couldn't believe that the so-called elite soldiers under his command were so vulnerable to the Ming army.
How long has it been?
The two sides only clashed once when they came into contact, and they were easily overwhelmed.
What the hell...
It’s really scary!
At this time, the Ming army was truly invincible!
Without any further hesitation, Dayan Khan ordered with eagerness on his face.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"Protect Ben Khan and withdraw from the battlefield!"
Li Guangyuan came on horseback, and the horse galloped very fast.
Gusts of wind came towards him and blew his face!
As soon as Dayan Khan moved, his banner also moved and withdrew towards the outside of the battlefield.
Li Guangyuan took out the saber from his waist and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, follow me and capture Dayan Khan alive. Everyone will be rewarded!"
With a wave of the long sword, the war horse spread out and ran wildly, and the Ming army cavalry chased Dayan Khan wildly.
Bang! Bang bang!
Bang bang! Bang!
The addition of fixed bullets to breech-loading guns gave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty the option of loading and firing their muskets multiple times on horseback.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, the Ming cavalry roared in, their sharp sabers and spears even more frightening.
Dayan Khan watched helplessly as the guards around him fell off their horses and died tragically one after another, turning into flesh under the trampling of countless horses' hooves.
Behind them, groups of Ming army elite cavalry were chasing them on horseback.
As time went by, the guard force around Dayan Khan was continuously weakened, and the number of guards began to become less and less.
Dayan Khan's forehead began to break out in cold sweat.
The war horse under his crotch was so exhausted that it couldn't hold on at all!
The frequency of steps was getting lower and lower, the long tongue was stuck out, and the war horse moved its body with great effort.
Dayan Khan's heart was filled with despair. Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped into his eyes, causing a stinging feeling.
But now he is completely unaware!
The only thought in his mind was to get rid of the pursuers behind him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, it is obvious that things will not develop according to Dayan Khan's vision.
The Ming army's cavalry pursued them very closely!
Moreover, as the war horse under Dayan Khan gradually stopped running, the distance between the two sides continued to get closer.
Dayan Khan alone slowed down the evacuation of the guards around him!
Although the Ming army did not charge directly, they quickly ended the battle.
But this kind of attack method of hanging from a distance and constantly weakening the enemy can cause even greater psychological pressure on the enemy.
After a long time, the strength of the war horse under Dayan Khan's crotch was finally completely exhausted.
The horse's hoof stepped on a protruding stone, and the next moment, a crisp sound was heard.
The hoofs of the war horse were broken, revealing white bone stubble.
In an instant, the body of the war horse lost its balance and let out a painful neigh. The body instantly tilted and fell to the ground. Dayan Khan on the horse was also thrown heavily.
Dayan Khan's whole body fell to the hard and cold ground, and he rolled several times before he stopped!
Screams and wails sounded instantly!
The surrounding soldiers of the Heshuote Khanate saw that the Great Khan had fallen from his horse. In order to prevent their horses from trampling on Dayan Khan, they could only perform micro maneuvers.
Then, a group of people bumped into each other because of the crowd!
People and people, horses and horses, are constantly colliding!
The next moment, chaos inevitably occurred.
Seeing this scene, the Ming army at the rear was even more morale-boosted, and every Ming army soldier urged their horses to pursue them.
Dayan Khan was knocked unconscious and struggled to get up from the ground, his mouth full of blood.
When he fell just now, he almost hit the ground face first.
His front teeth were broken directly, and stars popped out in front of his eyes.
There were even varying degrees of scratches on the arms and legs.
The ribs seem to have been broken...
Waves of severe pain hit him all over his body, making Dayan Khan's face turn extremely pale.
This is because Dayan Khan was fat enough and had a lot of fat to cushion him when he fell from the horse.
Otherwise, this fall might have cost Dayan Khan half his life.
Dayan Khan endured the severe pain and struggled to get up from the ground, but he just wanted to get on his horse.
Li Guangyuan then roared past him on horseback.
The spear in his hand was changed from stabbing to swinging, and the barrel of the spear was thrust into Dayan Khan's waist and abdomen.
With this swing, the horse's speed directly knocked Dayanhan, who weighed 300 kilograms, away.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming Army cavalry roared over one after another and cleaned up the surrounding cavalry of the Heshuote Khanate.
When Dayan Khan struggled to get up from the ground again, he was already surrounded by dozens of Ming army elite cavalry in the center.
Li Guangyuan threw away the broken spear in his hand, urged the horse to move quickly, pressed the saber on Dayan Khan's neck, and asked coldly.
"Are you Dayan Khan?"
Seeing this scene, Dayan Khan felt the sharp blade pressing on his neck, and he couldn't help sweating on his forehead.
However, whether for the sake of face or for other reasons, Dayan Khan just pursed his lips and said nothing when faced with Li Guangyuan's inquiry.
Li Guangyuan gradually lost his patience, and with a cold face, he spoke again.
"Answer my question or die!"
If the person in front of them is Dayan Khan, then great, they have caught a big fish.
This battle can be considered a complete end!
If not, there is nothing to say. Li Guangyuan will kill him directly and will not waste time on him anymore.
They still have to rush to catch the real Dayan Khan!
When Dayan Khan heard this, the expression on his face kept twitching, as if he felt the murderous intent from Li Guangyuan. He seemed to have experienced an extremely severe psychological struggle, and nodded.
"I...I am Dayan Khan!"
"I'm still useful, don't kill me!"
"..."
After saying this, Dayan Khan seemed to have lost all strength, his body went limp and he collapsed on the ground.
When Li Guangyuan heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He lifted the hand holding the knife upwards, lifted Dayan Khan's helmet in the blink of an eye, and said loudly.
"Dayan Khan has surrendered, do you still want to continue to resist the heavenly soldiers?"
"Kneel down and abandon your weapons. Surrender without killing!"
Li Guangyuan's voice was loud, but it was not obvious in the noisy battlefield.
However, as the civilian soldiers around him shouted together with him, kneeling down with their weapons, the shouts of surrender without killing resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Kneel down and abandon your weapons. Surrender without killing!"
"Kneel down and abandon your weapons. Surrender without killing!"
"..."
As the Ming army began to recruit and surrender, and Dayan Khan was captured, the soldiers of the Heshuote Khanate who had just resisted on the battlefield began to surrender in large numbers.
Even the nobles and monks knelt obediently before the iron hooves of the Ming army.
Li Guangyuan ordered the Ming army to repair on the spot and clean the battlefield.
While collecting prisoners of war, we must also treat our own wounded soldiers.
After recuperating for half a day, the Ming army took advantage of the situation and launched a tentative attack on the defenseless city of Lhasa.
Unexpectedly, the city of Lhasa was also swept down!
When he did, the flag of the Ming army flew over the city of Lhasa!
Li Guangyuan was filled with excitement and sent people to rush to Nanjing to report the good news.
After the city of Lhasa was destroyed, and Dayan Khan became a prisoner of war of the Ming army, it is not an exaggeration to say that the plateau is now in the shape of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Guangyuan led his troops to attack Lhasa this time and was able to achieve a great victory.
Although there is an element of luck in it, his contribution cannot be erased.
With his military exploits in this expedition to the plateau, Li Guangyuan's title may be further improved...
By then, he will no longer look embarrassed in front of Zheng Chenggong.
After all, before this, Li Guangyuan was just a marquis, but Zheng Chenggong was a prince.
Although from the current point of view, my sister's rear position is very stable.
Although the Zheng family was powerful, it was nothing in front of the emperor, but this did not prevent Li Guangyuan from wanting to climb up and achieve a higher status.
The battle report of the Battle of Lhasa was sent to Yunnan, and then prepared to be forwarded to Nanjing as quickly as possible via Yunnan's telegraph line...
…
Nanjing city in mid-summer is like a big furnace!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Huge amounts of heat are emitted all the time, and it is very uncomfortable for people who are hot.
Zhu Hongyu was wearing a thin singlet and his body was soaked in the swimming pool.
The cool pool water wetted Zhu Hongyu's clothes, and the streamlined muscles on his body, as well as his abdominal muscles and waistcoat lines, were faintly visible under the cover of the wet clothes.
Over the years, despite being busy with government affairs, Zhu Hongyu has never neglected to exercise.
Coupled with the small benefits of time travel, he has also maintained a pretty good figure!
In fact, he has never been sick in all these years since he traveled through time.
Great body!
Zhu Hongyu, who had just finished handling government affairs, took advantage of his lunch break to enjoy his rare free time.
Beside him, a pair of twins whose looks were almost indistinguishable to the naked eye were clinging to him with happy faces on their faces.
They are none other than Zhu Hongyu’s beloved Yu sisters!
As we all know, no man can resist the temptation of twins.
Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and fed the beauty to the iced watermelon. The sweet and refreshing taste exploded in his mouth, it was very delicious.
Take another sip of the chilled freshly squeezed orange juice that was fed to you mouth-to-mouth.
His eyes narrowed slightly, showing an expression of enjoyment.
His hands moved up and down the two beauties very dishonestly, and the two beauties let out a burst of giggles.
Although the Yu sisters were a little shy, they did not resist Zhu Hongyu's actions, but were very cooperative.
They are already an old married couple, so naturally they are not so shy!
Zhu Hongyu also enjoyed the beauty's service with peace of mind, carefully feeling the comfort of two pairs of soft little hands massaging him, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
If there were no government affairs to deal with in the afternoon, Zhu Hongyu really wouldn't mind showing off his prostitution during the day.
"His Majesty!"
While Zhu Hongyu was enjoying the beauty's service, someone came to report it.
Zhu Hongyu opened his eyes after hearing this.
The laziness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a sharp edge.
His eyes were like a tiger descending from the mountain, like a majestic army before a hunt, stern and domineering.
"What's the matter?"
A young eunuch held a volume of military reports in his hands, presented it to Zhu Hongyu with both hands, and said.
"Your Majesty, this is news from Japan!"
"Decisive battles broke out between the Qing army and the Japanese army in the Northern Kyukoku of Kyukoku Island and Shimonoseki on Honshu Island..."
…
It was early July, 1669 AD, three years after the Ming Dynasty was restored!
Northern Nine Kingdoms!
In fact, this place was originally called Northern Kyushu, but Ming Dynasty did not like the word Kyushu, so he changed it to Northern Kyushu.
There is basically only a strait between Kitakyuukuni and Shimonoseki. If the weather is good, you can directly see what is happening on the other side.
As the main force of the Japanese army continued to move south, the Qing army temporarily ended its war on the Kyukoku Islands after conquering Chikuzen and Chikugo, and severely damaging Higo Domain.
Instead, they began to mobilize troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army led by Tokugawa Ietsuna in the Northern Nine Kingdoms area.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
The soldiers and horses of both sides faced each other across the sea, and the dull sound of war drums resounded throughout the battlefield!
Even across a strait, the sound of drums can be clearly heard.
In order to ensure victory in this battle, Emperor Kangxi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty even visited the battlefield in person.
He displayed his imperial guard of honor on the battlefield!
Under the yellow umbrella, there is a Manchu heavy step of the Zhenghuang banner wearing heavy armor.
The yellow cloth armor on their bodies and the lightning rods high above their heads all indicate their identities.
And these are said to be the Manchu heavy steps of the Zhenghuang Banner, but they are only the Manchurian heavy steps of the Zhenghuang Banner in terms of organization.
In terms of soldiers, most of them are Han Chinese!
There were even some Koreans, Japanese, Mongolians and the like inside, but the Manchus were only a minority.
This army just bears the name of Manchu Chongbu!
In fact, it was the new army trained by Kangxi himself.
Around the new army, there were still a large number of troops gathered.
The Eight Banners soldiers, the servant army, and tens of thousands of troops gathered together, and the momentum was very huge.
Looking from a distance, one can barely see the horizon.
On the other side of the strait, the size of the Japanese army was even larger.
The famous samurai and Ashigaru gathered together to form a sea of people that could not be seen at a glance.
On the sea, the two fleets were also facing each other in the distance.
Judging from the current situation, the two sides are facing each other across the sea. The first person to fight to determine the outcome must be the Navy.
Whoever's navy can win will be able to take the initiative in this battle!
Or the power to attack!
On the first day, both sides set up camp and prepared for war.
On the second day, as soon as it dawned, the navies of both sides pulled up anchor and set sail to prepare for war.
Zu Zeqing personally boarded a large sand ship and prepared to direct the water battle.
The navies of both sides were moving toward each other on the sea, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the cannon resounded throughout the battlefield, and in the thick smoke, shells were fired at the Japanese ships one after another.
The cannonball fell into the water and splashed a lot of water!
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, the shelling became more fierce.
A squat cannon, a Fran cannon, and even a red cannon were set up on the ship and fired alternately.
The momentum was very huge for a while!
Seeing the fierceness and magnificence of the Qing army's artillery fire, the Japanese navy soldiers on the opposite side also had faint fear on their faces.
"kill!"
"Swear to kill the Qing invaders and lick the locusts in return!"
