Eridemu sat in his tent as the Great Khan, his face full of majesty.
"How is it? Have you collected the supplies needed for the army?"
Eridemu asked.
After setting off from Halakhalin and walking halfway, Eridemu watched his cattle and sheep disappear continuously. Finally, he couldn't bear the consumption and was reluctant to continue to contribute his cattle and sheep to the coalition forces.
If the coalition forces really regarded him as the Great Khan and would listen to him in everything, Eridemu might have a more balanced mind and maybe be willing to let go.
But the problem now is that few in the coalition forces really regard him as the Great Khan.
A group of people usually don't take Eridemu seriously at all. They only call him sweating when they ask for supplies of cattle and sheep.
Is this so obvious that Eri Demu is being taken advantage of?
As time passed, Eridemu couldn't stand it anymore.
After arriving in Monan, he began to use his name as Great Khan to issue orders to the grassland tribes in Monan, requiring all tribes to provide cattle and sheep for the coalition forces going south to ensure that there would be no problems with the logistics supply of the coalition forces.
But at first, no one took his orders seriously.
Everyone thinks, why, you Eridemu really think you are sweating?
Are you from the golden family?
Seeing this reaction, Eridemu was also very angry.
In anger, he directly ordered the coalition to send troops and directly collect the logistical supplies needed by the army from the tribes he passed along the way.
To put it simply, it is to rob cattle and sheep...
Of course, if someone takes the opportunity to grab something else, Eridemu will not be able to control it.
Now that someone has finally come back, Eridemu will naturally be concerned about how the logistics collection is going, that is, how the looting is going.
The Mongolian man named the leader stood up and spoke.
"I report to the Great Khan that this time I led my men to snatch back five thousand sheep and two hundred cattle."
"Originally, those tribes were not willing, but after a group of people were killed by our coalition soldiers, the remaining people were also willing."
The Mongolian man said with excitement, showing off his victory.
This was the first result after the coalition forces moved south.
It's a pity that the first victory after the coalition forces went south was not against the Ming Dynasty, but against the small tribes on the grassland...
It is indeed a bit outrageous!
During this process, the accompanying Cossacks also showed their true nature as bandits, committing murder, looting, rape and massacre, and committed all kinds of evil.
It caused great public outrage!
But Eridemu did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he nodded proudly and said.
"Not bad!"
"Being able to get so many cattle and sheep at once reduces the pressure on our army a lot."
…
The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see.
The yellow-green grassland gives people a different kind of beauty at a glance.
The weather has not completely warmed up yet, and it will still be a bit cool at night and in the morning.
Most of the vegetation on the grassland is last year's withered grass that survived the winter, and the tender green shoots are still growing.
As Yu Jia headed north, Zhu Hongyu also truly saw how much influence the Golden Family had on the grassland.
His chariot had just left Datong and was only twenty or thirty miles away from the customs. Several small tribes came to surrender to him one after another.
This is still a situation where Qi Qige, a descendant of the Golden Family, has a good reputation. If a genuine descendant of the Golden Family comes, I am afraid that when the decisive battle comes, as long as the opponent has a slight setback, they will all come over to him.
Faced with the surrender of these small tribes, Zhu Hongyu naturally accepted it.
Accompanied by Qiqige, he met the chiefs of these small tribes and accepted their worship.
Then, Zhu Hongyu truly realized that what he thought was right.
This early spring is really the time when Mongolians are at their weakest.
After a whole winter, the Mongolian war horses lost a lot of weight. On the contrary, most of the captive war horses in the Ming Dynasty were fat and strong.
These war horses, which have been waiting in the horse pen all winter, are now waiting to have fun.
However, what Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that as these grassland tribes surrendered, he received a piece of news that he found very incredible.
The Mongolian coalition forces led by Eridemu are now plundering the small tribes who are also Mongolians!
As a result, most of the Mongolians in the Mengsha Allied Forces are now panic-stricken.
Then, the most direct result was that more and more Mongolian tribes took the initiative to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Many tribes chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and serve as the guide for the Ming Dynasty after being harmed by the coalition forces.
…
Your Majesty, continue your journey north!
The battlefield was chosen by both sides in the Daihai Lake area with a tacit understanding.
There is water here and the terrain is open, making it a suitable battlefield for the decisive battle between the main forces of both sides.
The elite sentry cavalry of the Ming army were scattered on the grassland. Within a radius of a hundred miles from the front, rear, left and right of the army, these Ming army sentry cavalry could move.
Any enemy troops that appear within this range will be discovered by the Ming army's sentinels and surrounded and killed.
The Mongolians who surrendered were also organized into a separate army, and the position of commander was given to Qiqige temporarily by Zhu Hongyu.
To be honest, Zhu Hongyu had no hope at all in the combat effectiveness of these surrendered Mongols.
On the battlefield, it would be nice if these guys didn't cause Zhu Hongyu trouble at the critical moment.
Zhu Hongyu really didn't expect them to really play any practical role.
Bringing them along is more of a political stance.
Tell the Mongols on the grassland that this time it is not just the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, but also the Golden Family's suppression of the rebellion.
Didn’t you see that not only the Golden Clan’s great banner was on the Ming side, but there were also Mongolians on the Ming side to help?
Of course, Zhu Hongyu did not completely trust these Mongolians who came over.
Zhu Hongyu was still wary of them.
People were sent to keep an eye on them all the time, fearing that these Mongolians were traitors sent from the opposite side and would be killed at the critical moment.
Having someone keep an eye on it is also a way of being prepared.
The Mengsha coalition forces on the opposite side are also advancing towards Daihai!
The outpost reconnaissance cavalry of both sides have already clashed.
But basically the Ming army's elite cavalry were suppressing the Mongols throughout the whole process.
And the reason for this is very simple.
The war horses of the Ming army were fat and strong, but the Mongolian horses were very skinny.
The Ming army here was well-equipped and had complete armor, but the Mongols on the opposite side were poorly equipped and couldn't even get enough leather armor.
More importantly, the riding skills of the Ming army's elite cavalry were no worse than those of the Mongolian cavalry.
The gap between the two sides is visible to the naked eye. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the battlefield is one-sided.
…
Gaoliang rode on horseback and charged towards the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side.
Behind him, Fang Li and others followed closely.
The horses under their crotches were strong and vigorous, galloping rapidly on the grassland, stretching their bodies wantonly.
Gao Liang pulled out the revolver beside the saddle and took aim with one hand with a calm expression.
After the distance between him and the Mongolian sentries on the opposite side was reduced to within thirty meters, Gao Liang pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang! Bang!
Bang bang bang!
After six consecutive gunshots, two men from a team of Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses and fell to the ground.
Due to the bumps on the horse's back, this hit rate really can't be considered low.
At the same time, the rest of the people behind Gao Liang also pulled the triggers one after another.
After a burst of gunfire, the Meng cavalry on the opposite side suffered heavy losses.
But the arrows fired from the opposite side were completely unable to break the armor.
Arrows hit the armor worn by Gao Liang and others, making a clanging sound.
Soft bows, light arrows, or bone arrowheads, for the fully armored Ming army, their lethality is almost non-existent!
After a burst of gunfire, Meng Qi, who survived by chance, quickly turned around and wanted to ride away, but was overtaken by Ming cavalry from behind.
One after another, they were chopped down with sabers and felled!
These Mengqi war horses were forced to follow the army southward at the beginning of spring, and they did not have time to recover the shape they lost during the winter.
All of them were thin and tired, their endurance was severely reduced, and they ran out of energy after only running a certain distance, unable to escape the Ming army's pursuit.
After the battle, Gao Liang and others quickly cleaned up the battlefield, took the captured war horses, and prepared to go in the direction of their own army.
As for other things, Gao Liang and others really don't like them.
As encounters became more and more frequent, the number of enemy cavalry increased, and even small soldiers such as Gao Liang could clearly realize that a battle was approaching.
The relaxation on many people's faces has disappeared, replaced by solemnity!
"These Mongolian cavalry are pretty good at riding and shooting, but their armaments are a bit poor, and their war horses are not that good either."
Gao Liang was riding on horseback, holding two captured horses in his hands, and commented.
Fang Li from one side nodded and said.
"Yes, yes, I was shot with three or four arrows just now, but luckily none of them were able to break through the armor."
"I just really didn't expect that these Mongolians are still using bone arrows."
"Even our tribe no longer uses bone arrows."
Of course, Fang Li's tribe no longer used bone arrows, which was what happened in the past few years after they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and were organized into households.
Before that, their tribe's military preparedness was not as good as those of the Mongols.
But this does not prevent Fang Li from despising the military equipment of these Mongols. Who knows that Fang Li is now a noble and proud Ming man.
A group of people were busy discussing.
Suddenly, Gao Liang, who was walking at the front, seemed to have discovered something. The originally relaxed expression on his face straightened, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
One after another, eyes looked forward.
Under everyone's attention, a black line appeared at the end of their sight.
This black line was getting closer and closer to them, and the true appearance of the black line was seen by everyone.
That was a team of cavalry wearing black robes!
The expression on Gao Liang's face gradually became more solemn.
"It's an enemy cavalry, one man and two horses. It is initially estimated that there are about two hundred cavalry..."
"Can't beat it!"
"Give me the order to retreat first!"
These people are just sentry riders, with only ten people in a team.
No matter how big they were, they still wouldn't dare to have ten people confront two hundred people on the other side.
If you can't fight, then run is the most correct choice.
Now they are not performing a mission where they can only advance but cannot retreat. There is no need to fight with the opponent to death.
If you can't beat him, just run away, then shake him. When the shaker arrives, everyone can join together. This is the most correct choice.
Gao Liang quickly ordered a retreat.
The group of them immediately turned around and fled in the direction behind them.
While retreating, Gao Liang and others also released several fireworks into the sky.
While asking for help, he also notifies surrounding friendly forces of his position and the number of enemies.
With the sound of horse hooves, Gao Liang and others quickly distanced themselves from the enemy cavalry behind them.
At the same time, Alexey looked at the group of Ming cavalry in front of him who were frightened by him and others and fled in embarrassment, and he couldn't help but let out a strange scream of pride.
"Hahahaha, the Ming army is nothing more than this!"
"When you see us brave and fighting Cossacks, don't you just run away without even daring to fight?"
"Everyone, speed up your horses and catch up. Let's chop off the heads of those Akito and use them as toilets."
"..."
Accompanied by waves of strange screams, a Cossack wearing a black robe drew his scimitar and rode forward.
These Cossacks are full-fledged war madmen, and when war is mentioned, they get more excited than anyone else.
"Kill!"
"Long live His Majesty the Tsar!"
"The Cossacks are invincible..."
"..."
However, gradually, as time passed, Alexey and others also noticed that something was wrong.
No matter how he chased, whether he accelerated or decelerated, whether he galloped or walked slowly, the distance between him and the Ming army in front never changed.
It's like... it's like the Ming army on the opposite side is deliberately trying to hang him up.
It seemed that he and others had never taken the initiative on the battlefield.
"Damn Akito, you dare not fight the brave Cossacks, you only dare to run away, what a coward!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Alexei's figure rose and fell as the horse galloped, he kept cursing, and his personal emotions were very excited.
But at this moment, as the ground trembled, Alexey noticed that a group of about a hundred Ming army elite cavalry appeared on their flanks.
A large flag with clear characters is flying in the air!
"kill!"
"Polu!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
As soon as this group of hundreds of Ming army elite cavalry appeared, they rushed straight towards Alexei and others.
The knight on horseback is tall and strong, and his red breastplate reflects the cold light under the sunlight.
Although these Ming army sentries did not wear full armor because they were performing reconnaissance missions, most of them still wore a breastplate.
It can also provide some protection!
As the enemy got closer and closer, an elite cavalryman from the Ming Army drew his revolver and got ready to shoot on horseback.
At the same time, Gaoliang and his party, who had been running in panic just now, turned around and rushed towards the battlefield when they saw the reinforcements.
Be prepared to go up shoulder to shoulder with the person you brought over!
Seeing this, Alexey knew that he and others had been tricked, and he panicked and wanted to turn around and run away.
However, there is nothing so easy.
The elite cavalry of the Ming army who came for reinforcements rushed over in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, there was a snapping sound that echoed throughout the battlefield.
Six consecutive shots to the face at close range, no cavalry in this world can stop him.
Then, relying on his sophisticated armor, a Ming Army cavalry drew his saber and rushed straight into the Cossack array.
They were like a plow plowing through the Cossack array.
Wherever he passed, he left stumps of limbs and broken arms on the ground, as well as wailing wounded people.
The sharp saber can easily cut through the bodies of these Cossacks.
The cloak and thick leather jacket he wore could not block the sharp sabers of the Ming army.
But when their sabers struck the breastplates of Ming soldiers, they could only shoot out a few sparks.
Unable to cause effective damage!
At the same time, Gao Liang and others who had gone around in a circle also came back with a kill.
The horse's hooves flew, Fang Li showed off the flower work hidden in the stirrup, and then pulled the trigger.
It's a flower job, but times have changed. When it comes to killing enemies, the simpler the better.
The situation on the battlefield continues to evolve.
With only more than half the enemy's strength, the Ming army quickly strangled the Cossacks who had been showing off their power just now.
In the past, the Cossacks, who were quite fierce and good at fighting on the battlefield, had little power to fight back in front of the Ming army.
These Cossacks, who had been plundering the Mongolian tribes and arrogantly killing people a few days ago when the coalition forces were marching south, were now being unilaterally slaughtered!
It really goes along with the saying that things go round and round.
Horse hooves flew, and the sound of muskets continued.
The sharp saber has become almost everyone's nightmare.
Alexei looked at everything in front of him, his face full of despair, and he murmured.
"Yellow peril...yellow peril..."
"The Yellow Peril is coming again!"
The last time a Rakshasa experienced such fear was the last time...
Ah, bah, it was the Mongolian expedition to the west.
Amidst the sound of horse hoofbeats, Alexey's two hundred cavalry were quickly wiped out.
Someone was killed until he collapsed and turned around to escape from the battlefield, but was overtaken by Ming cavalry and had his head chopped off from behind.
Although the war horses ridden by these Cossacks are all prototypes of the original Don horses, they can be regarded as top war horses in the world.
However, no matter how top-notch war horses are, it is impossible to retain much combat effectiveness after crossing more than half of the Eurasian continent.
Not all war horses are as sturdy and durable as Mongolian horses, and can adapt to most living environments.
Of course, the war horses used by the Ming army are not bad now, including Hexi horses, Mongolian horses, plateau horses, and Liaodong horses.
In addition, some of the Iberian horses, Indian fold horses, Central Asian Arabian horses and other horse breeds purchased through sea trade and Westerners are selected from the best and crossbred to produce good horses.
The quality is quite excellent!
There is no need for the Don horses used by these Cossacks.
…
Small-scale confrontations like this happen constantly.
As the intensity of the war continues to increase, both sides can realize that the real decisive battle is coming.
In mid-March of the eighth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the main forces of both sides met near Daihai.
As soon as the two sides met, the Mengsha Allied Forces were ambushed by the Ming Army and gave them a blow.
On the current battlefield, the Ming army's sentry cavalry had the absolute upper hand.
On such a huge battlefield, as soon as the Mongolian army's sentinel cavalry appears, they will be strangled by the Ming army's sentinel cavalry.
Then, after losing the vision provided by the sentries, the Mongolian army's forward dived into the encirclement of the Ming army.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, the two thousand forward cavalry sent by Eridemu were quickly strangled to death by the Ming army.
Only a few hundred cavalrymen were lucky enough to break out of the Ming army's encirclement, return to the Mongolian army, and report the news to Eridemu.
After Eridemu received the news, he fell into panic instantly.
The expression on his face was also a bit frightened.
Before the official decisive battle even started, he was given a disastrous blow by the Ming army.
The morale of the Mongolian army, which was not high in the first place, immediately received a huge blow.
Eridemu asked.
"Everyone, what should Ben Khan do next?"
The Mongolian generals around him all looked ugly and at a loss.
Obviously, these Mongolian generals are helpless about the current situation.
It was Ivanovich who spoke.
"Respect the Great Khan, the defeat of our forward was just an ambush. As long as our army is more careful and does not get ambushed again, the Ming army will not be able to defeat us."
In Ivanovich's inherent impression, Akito should mostly be infantry.
It is not easy to use infantry to deal with cavalry.
No matter what, if they can't beat them, they can always run away.
The infantry will definitely not be able to catch up with the cavalry. This is an attempt.
When Eridemu heard this, the expression on his face became obviously relaxed.
Not to mention Ivanovich, a Rakshasa, under the deliberate blockade of the Ming army sentry cavalry, even Ezhidemu and others did not know that almost all the Ming army going north were cavalry.
They are still looking at the current Ming Dynasty with their original eyes!
This alone makes them have no other possibility except defeat in this battle.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Rushing to lead troops to fight without even knowing the details of the enemy is not what a knowledgeable soldier should do.
…
End of March, eight years after the Ming Dynasty was restored!
After frequent trials and encounters, soldiers and horses from both sides have arrived at the main battlefield of Daihai.
The two camps are more than ten miles apart and face each other in the distance.
Zhu Hongyu stood on a temporary watchtower, holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield.
In the Ming army's camp, hot air balloons began to take off, preparing to cooperate with the sentries and monitor the movements of the entire battlefield.
Zhu Hongyu was in the central army, summoning the generals to discuss matters.
"According to the information detected by our army's outpost, the enemy's strength should be around 150,000, not the 300,000 claimed by the outside world."
"Among these 150,000 people, there are 10,000 Rakshasa soldiers, and the rest are Mongolian cavalry."
Xu Bin stood up and explained to the generals the specific strength of the enemy.
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Haha, the enemy's military strength is almost the same as our Ming Dynasty's military strength."
"If our army wants to achieve a great victory at the minimum cost in this battle, it is best to put our army's advantages to practical use."
Zhu Hongyu's thinking has always been very clear.
This is what war is like. Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses is the simplest principle. There is nothing wrong with using our strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.
What is the advantage of the Ming army in this battle?
It is not the so-called elite cavalry and cavalry armaments, but firearms.
It's the tanks equipped with rotating machine guns, and the more than 1,400 field artillery pieces.
Only by giving full play to the advantages of these firearms can the Ming army win this battle at the minimum cost.
When the generals heard the words, they all bowed and agreed.
Xu Bin also began to talk about the military strategy proposed by their general staff.
"The staff's estimate for this battle is to use our army's superior cavalry to drive the enemy into the preset battlefield."
"Moreover, the rotating machine guns and field artillery must be arranged in advance and preset to shoot at the elements."
"As soon as the enemy enters the preset battlefield, our army can launch a salvo of guns and artillery to harvest the enemy."
"Achieve a great victory in this battle at the minimum cost."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and then asked.
"Where is the preset battlefield selected by the staff?"
Xu Bin stood up and pointed to a pocket-shaped indentation on the waterline of Daihai Lake on the map.
"right here!"
"After investigation by our army's sentinels, it can be determined that this location is very suitable for setting up pocket formations."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's start making arrangements."
"Wang Mian, Li Sheng, Hu Yuanwei, Lin Shi...obey orders!"
Zhu Hongyu began to arrange the respective combat tasks of the generals.
The Ming army also quickly began to arrange the battlefield and prepare for the war.
…
Three days later, the decisive battle began.
The armies of both sides came out of camp, and formations were quickly arranged on the battlefield.
On the huge battlefield, countless cavalrymen stood tall, flags fluttering, and the atmosphere on the entire battlefield was extremely chilling.
Eridemu was riding on horseback, looking at his own black cavalry army, but he did not feel at ease.
Since the main forces of both sides arrived on the battlefield, under the deliberate blockade of the Ming army, the entire battlefield was completely dark for Eridemu.
Apart from knowing the approximate direction in which the Ming army's camp was located, he was also kept in the dark about the specific strength and layout of the Ming army.
Then, with his eyes darkened, he led people onto the battlefield.
It was only after entering the battlefield that Eridemu knew how many troops the Ming army had in this battle.
As far as the eye can see, there is no limit to the horizon. The red armor forms a human wall, which keeps moving forward according to the drum orders of the Chinese army, like a surging wave of fire.
Flags were fluttering one after another, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were wearing heavy armor, giving people a great sense of oppression.
But the most unbelievable thing is that most of the Ming army are cavalry.
Only a small amount of infantry is defending the central army!
Seeing this scene, Eridemu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that he was in trouble.
When facing the Ming Dynasty, his biggest reliance was that his side in this battle were all cavalry, while the Ming army was mostly infantry.
Even if he can't defeat him, he can still run away at his worst, and the infantry of the Ming army will definitely not be able to catch up.
This was the reason why he dared to take the initiative to lead troops south.
However, reality now gave him a hard slap in the face.
infantry?
Fucking infantry!
Those on the opposite side are all cavalry!
Moreover, just by looking at them, Eridemu could tell that the number of Ming army cavalry was similar to theirs.
The Mongolian army has about 150,000 troops, including 10,000 Rakshasa soldiers, and the remaining 140,000 are all cavalry from various Mongolian tribes.
The number of the Ming army was actually about the same, 20,000 imperial guards, 100,000 border troops, plus almost 20,000 cavalry from various Mongolian tribes who had surrendered.
In total, there are about 140,000 people!
An experienced general can tell at a glance that the strength of the two sides is almost the same.
However, although everyone's military strength is about the same now, when it comes to combat effectiveness, the gap is really huge.
Needless to say, the Imperial Guards of the Ming Army are now the most luxuriously equipped army in the world.
Whenever the Ming Dynasty had any new weapons, the first ones to be deployed were the Imperial Guards.
All-steel breastplates, revolvers, and special breech-loading lances are all equipped by the Guards.
In fact, the equipment of the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops was not bad, including breastplates, hand crossbows, grenades, short-barreled lances (front-loaded) specially designed by the arsenal, spears, scimitars, pumpkin hammers...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is no shortage of various weapons and equipment!
In the world, after the Ming Dynasty's imperial guards, their weapons and equipment are the most luxurious.
And the remaining 20,000 Mongolian cavalry...
How should I put it? They were just here to make up the numbers. Zhu Hongyu's expectations for them were very simple. It was okay to cause trouble, but just don't stab me in the back.
What about the Mongols on the opposite side?
Even 140,000 Mongolians may not be able to gather 140,000 iron arrowheads.
And those Cossacks were not much better. At most they only had muskets and scimitars, which were far inferior to the equipment of the Ming army.
This is just about individual weapons!
Not to mention the rotating machine guns and field artillery on the Ming Army’s side!
The combat effectiveness of the two sides is completely different.
Looking at the Ming army on the other side of the battlefield, Eridemu was really panicking now.
What the heck, looking at the number of cavalry on the opposite side of the Ming army, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape if I'm defeated this time, right?
Of course, Eridemu is not the only one who is panicking now.
Ivanovich on the side also looked like he had eaten shit.
Originally, he was thinking that he was a very clever group, leading people to sneak into the Mongolian army, so that they could go south and take advantage.
Facts have proved that in the process of following the coalition forces south, the Cossacks under his command really took advantage of them by plundering the Mongolian tribes.
But what he didn't expect was that not long after he took advantage, he ran into a big iron plate!
The pressure brought by the more than 100,000 Ming troops on the opposite side almost made him wet his pants.
When more than 100,000 armored cavalry stand opposite you, trying to kill you, those who have not experienced it will never understand the sense of oppression that hits you.
Looking at the elite cavalry of the Ming army on the opposite side, the Mongolian army was in a state of panic, with many people showing fear on their faces.
When the banner belonging to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was raised high in the middle of the Ming army, the morale of the Mongolian army was visibly lowered.
The morale of the Ming army was instantly high!
In this era, it goes without saying that the appearance of the emperor had an inspiring effect on the morale of the army.
Even if the emperor does not lead the troops to charge, but just sits in the center, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Long live our emperor!"
"..."
In just an instant, the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people from the Ming army rang through the sky.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless Mongolian troops, another nine-pin white banner representing the identity of the Golden Family rose up in the Ming army formation.
The height of this nine-striped white scroll is only a little lower than that of the Emperor of Heaven.
At the moment when the nine-striped white banner was raised, a visible commotion broke out on the side of the Mongolian army.
Many people were whispering to each other about the scene in front of them.
"What...what's going on?"
"Why did the Ming army have Jiuhao Bai?"
"Yes, isn't that the golden family's banner?"
"..."
This flag had a huge impact on the Mongolian army in front of them.
Next to Zhu Hongyu, Qiqige, who was wearing armor, saw this scene and said.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go out into battle to recruit and surrender the enemy troops on Your Majesty's behalf. I hope Your Majesty will grant me your permission!"
Zhu Hongyu stared at the battlefield in front of him with burning eyes. After hearing what Qiqige said, he nodded.
"Well, go ahead and be safe!"
If Qiqige's persuasion to surrender can weaken the opponent to the greatest extent before the war, Zhu Hongyu will naturally not mind.
As for Qiqige, is it dangerous to go to the front line in person?
The danger is definitely there, but it's just not big.
After all, Qiqige is a member of the Golden Family, and not many Mongolians dare to attack the Golden Family.
Under the gaze of soldiers and horses from both sides, Qiqige appeared on the battlefield with a team of elite cavalry, and then headed straight for the Mongolian army's formation.
She galloped to the front of the Mongolian army's formation and shouted.
"I am the noble concubine of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the sister of Burni, the Great Khan of the contemporary Golden Family. I am here today in front of the battle. On behalf of the Emperor and the Great Khan, I urge you to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and jointly combat the rebellion of the Oara tribe..."
Qiqige directly described the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition as putting down the rebellion of the Oara tribe.
The reason is because someone in the Oara tribe is sweating!
In the whole world, the only people in the world who can be called the Great Khan are descendants of the Golden Family.
"The Emperor has a word, if you all can restore the flags and come down respectfully, everything in the past will be forgotten!"
"There are rewards from top to bottom!"
"If you don't repent and resist to the end, then the heavenly troops will arrive. Don't say you were unprepared!"
Qiqige led others to shout loudly in front of the Mongolian army formation. Her voice was clear and penetrating.
Almost all the Mongolians who heard her words were shaken.
Chaos was visible to the naked eye in the Mongolian array, and countless people were whispering to each other.
Eridemu noticed the scene in front of the formation and ordered his soldiers to fire arrows to kill or drive Qiqige away so that Qiqige would not continue to shake his military morale.
However, after Eridemu's order was issued, the Mongolian cavalry on the front line did not move at all, and almost everyone refused to carry out Eridemu's order.
Qiqige continued to ride her horse arrogantly in front of the Mongolian army, her posture seemed to say, I am here, who dares to take action?!
And the facts proved that no one really dared to do it.
Do not attack members of the Golden Family. This is an iron law on the grassland. It is an iron law that has been engraved in the bones of all Mongolians since Genghis Khan, who has used countless blood to kill.
But no one dares to violate it!
In this way, Qiqige showed off her power in front of their formation and loudly persuaded them to surrender, shaking their military morale, but no one in the Mongolian army dared to take action.
Eridemu was so angry that he didn't dare to ride out into battle to capture Qiqige himself.
He could only turn his head and say to Ivanovich beside him.
"Ivan, send your people to capture or kill the woman in front of the formation. We can't let her continue to shake our military morale."
Since the Mongols could not be counted on, he could only count on the Rakshasa people.
The Mongols did not dare to attack the Golden Family, but the Rakshasa people had no such scruples.
Ivanovich did not refuse, but chose to give the order directly.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Anthony, take someone to capture that woman, or bring her head back to the Great Khan."
Antony took the order and went with a group of Cossacks.
He rode directly towards Qiqige to kill him!
Qiqige also noticed this scene. She took a deep breath, did not stop in front of the formation, and led her men and horses back to the Ming army's main formation.
The troops and horses of the Ming army were in stable formation. In the blink of an eye, they separated the formation, revealing a road for Qiqige to lead people through.
Qiqige rode back to Zhu Hongyu and said with some frustration.
"Your Majesty, it's useless to be a concubine. I can't persuade anyone to surrender anyway!"
The expression on Zhu Hongyu's face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.
"No problem!"
"Although your attempt to persuade others to surrender failed to persuade anyone to surrender, it was enough to demoralize the enemy and shaken the morale of the troops."
"What happens next depends on the soldiers!"
Zhu Hongyu waved his hand and ordered.
"Command the entire army to attack!"
"Drive the enemy to the preset battlefield!"
Following Zhu Hongyu's order, a dull horn sounded.
The sound of war drums instantly resounded throughout the battlefield!
In an instant, the Ming army's cavalry moved.
Groups of Ming army elite cavalry jumped out of the formation, their red armor formed an array, like a surging wave of fire, burning and destroying everything in their path, and headed towards the Mongolian army in front of them.
The mighty military power is coming!
The rumbling horseshoes demonstrate the power of the imperial power, and even more so, the iron-blooded killing.
It has been more than two hundred years since Xuande reduced its borders!
The iron hooves of the Han people came to the grassland again and declared their power to the nomadic people on the grassland.
…
After Qiqige evacuated, Eridemu breathed a sigh of relief obviously.
Those who are not Mongolian would never imagine how much pressure they would face when facing the Golden Family.
However, Qiqige's side had just withdrawn, and before Eridemu had time to boost the morale of the army, the Ming army launched an attack.
A large group of black cavalry formed up and roared towards their side!
Seeing this, Eridemu ignored the low morale of the army in order not to be passively beaten. He could only order his own cavalry to attack and compete with the Ming army.
The distance between the cavalry on both sides is getting closer and closer.
Like a red wave of fire and a black wave of earth moving towards each other.
The rumble of horse hooves seemed to crush everything.
"Kill!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"..."
The cry of killing resounded throughout the battlefield.
Ivanovich, with his 10,000 men, was in the middle of a war of this scale, and his face turned slightly pale.
He did not expect that the scale of the war in the East would be so large!
The total number of people on both sides is almost 300,000!
The confrontation of 300,000 cavalry on both sides would be unimaginable in Europe.
No European country can devote more than 100,000 cavalry to fight the enemy.
The few troops he has on hand may not be able to make even a small splash in such a war.
Ivanovich stayed next to Erzhidmu, just watching his own cavalry being carried forward, preparing to collide with the Ming army, his face as white as paper.
He knew he was finished!
Even if he could win this battle, his Cossacks would suffer heavy losses.
You must know that among the 10,000 people he has in hand, not only are they brought from Europe, the troops recruited along the way, but also the defenders of Irkutsk and Barguzin.
Once these people were wiped out by the Ming army on the battlefield!
Then Irkutsk and Barguzin are no different from two empty cities.
By then, Lake Baikal may also be captured by the Ming Dynasty.
Once they lost Lake Baikal as a transit hub, the Russian Empire would not be able to maintain their series of strongholds in Central Siberia and Western Siberia.
You know, most of their strongholds in Central Siberia and Western Siberia are in the basins of several large rivers.
And those big rivers are basically connected to Lake Baikal.
