"Hmph, these Oara people are really as cowardly as mice. They even ran away from battle time and time again. Are there no people from Oara and Tatars who dare to formally fight our Ming army?"
Emperor Zhu Di was very angry at this time. He wanted to eliminate all the Oara and Tatar armies, but their opponents were as slippery as loaches in the water. As long as they had the slightest contact with the Ming army, they would immediately flee.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, said with a smile: "I think the Walas and Tatars are afraid of us. After seeing how powerful our Ming army was, they were frightened and ran away home."
"
The words of the King of Han aroused laughter from other people in the main tent. Although the army of the Ming Dynasty did not engage in formal battle with the army of Wala in the past two days, the other party's repeated escapes made the Ming Dynasty this
It boosted morale.
However, not long after, in the corner of the main tent, Yu Qian, who had always lowered his head, said at an inappropriate time: "The mobility of the Oara and Tatar armies is really too high. Their soldiers are riding horses on the grassland like a fish in water. It is us."
The cavalry battalion is incomparable."
"Now they seem to be running away in a very embarrassed manner, but in fact they are just like a fox luring a rabbit out of its hole, slowly leading us into their hinterland."
"If this continues, our Ming Dynasty will eventually suffer a major defeat."
Yu Qian's words were like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads. Emperor Zhu Di frowned. His words spoke to Zhu Di's heart. As a veteran who has experienced many battles, he naturally understands the situation of being led by others.
Very bad.
Emperor Zhu Di looked at the people in the main tent with deep eyes. He said seriously: "You are all ministers of our Ming Dynasty. Faced with the current situation, do you have any good strategies to deal with it?"
Others in the main tent were also very troubled by this problem. Those Vala and Tatar rangers were too flexible.
Those people had grown up riding horses since they were young. Everyone was a master of horseback combat. In addition, they were very familiar with the grassland environment. It was difficult for the Ming Dynasty's army to gain an advantage in this regard.
If you want to get rid of the current situation, you must deal with the Oara and Tatar cavalry, but they are very cunning. As long as the Ming Dynasty army comes even slightly close, they will immediately withdraw.
The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, had a sneer on his face. He looked at the King of Chu, Zhu Muchen, "Don't the King of Chu claim to be versatile and knowledgeable? Why can't he come up with any good advice at this time?"
"Has the King of Chu exhausted his talents? I believe that faced with this situation, King Chu, who is known as the sharp sword of the Ming Dynasty, will definitely have a suitable solution."
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui echoed from the side, "I think the King of Chu is not exhausted, but he is at a loss when facing such a real battlefield."
"In the past, when I heard King Chu talking about the war, King Chu was very talkative, but now it seems that King Chu was just talking about war on paper."
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, immediately answered, "Third brother, what are you talking about? How can the King of Chu compare with the former Zhao Kuo?"
"I believe that King Chu will be able to come up with a reasonable solution to this matter. King Chu is definitely not the kind of person who can only talk on paper."
All the generals can naturally understand that this is the King of Han and King Zhao taunting the King of Chu, one playing the bad role and the other playing the bad side.
When faced with the ridicule of the King of Han and King of Zhao, Zhu Muchen didn't care much, nor did he immediately refute. Instead, he silently pondered the strategy on the sidelines.
He thought silently in his heart: "Those Vala rangers are very flexible. Even if the Ming Dynasty's army holds fire blunderbuss, it will be difficult to severely damage them. The power and range of fire blunderbuss are limited. They can be easily hit over a very long distance."
It's hard to hit those rangers."
"If those rangers cannot be dealt with, they will be like a pack of wolves, always surrounding us, unless there is some way to lure those rangers into our trap."
Zhu Muchen was thinking silently on the side, while the other generals in the main tent had already become a quarrel.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "We should send troops to surround those rangers and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui sneered, "Foolish, if we disperse our troops, then we will fall into the opponent's plot. When the time comes, Wara and the Tatar cavalry will be able to completely disperse us with a single charge."
The general who just spoke shook his head and rejected the idea of Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson. He said solemnly: "What King Zhao said is reasonable. You must not put all your efforts into it. If the formation is broken up by Wala and Tatar, then what will happen next?"
Wala can even rush directly to Nanjing City in one fell swoop."
The King of Han looked arrogant and raised his voice a little, "Dividing the troops is definitely not possible. We should bypass the rangers in Wala and go straight to Huanglong and catch them off guard. Will they still use this unsightly method of attack?"
Unexpectedly, the man shook his head again and said firmly: "This strategy of the King of Han is absolutely unacceptable. Once we bypass the light cavalry, their remaining troops will use all their strength to surround us. At that time, we will be in a dilemma.
, but they caught a turtle in a jar."
"If this is true, then we will be like lambs in a cage, and will eventually be eaten up by evil wolves."
The King of Han snorted coldly, "This won't work, and those won't work either, so what do you think we should do?"
The man's face turned red, he lowered his head and remained silent. He looked at the King of Chu who was thinking at the side, with expectation in his eyes.
In the end, the generals quarreled until the end, but failed to come up with a good strategy to solve the problems faced by the Ming Dynasty's army.
Seeing that the argument couldn't stop, Zhu Di had no choice but to ask everyone to leave first.
When marching and fighting, you must not take it lightly. These Oara and Tatar people are not easy to deal with.
Everyone returned to where they lived and thought about how to solve this problem. Until the next day, everyone came to meet Zhu Di with a full stomach of strategies.
What was unexpected was that King Chu, who had been extremely silent the day before, was the first to stand up in the eyes of everyone.
"Let me tell you, Your Majesty, that I have a plan to solve the current problem."
That night, the Tatar and Oara armies were still observing the Ming Dynasty's movements from a distance.
The Oara and Tatar soldiers were very excited. In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty's army was completely vulnerable. They could easily leave those armies behind on their war horses.
Now the Ming Dynasty's army is walking into their trap step by step, and then they will be able to swallow it up once the Ming Dynasty completely falls into the trap.
By then, even a direct attack on Nanjing City will be very possible.
Suddenly, the Oara and Tatar soldiers saw neatly lit fires appearing in the Ming Dynasty's army camp. The fires became bigger and more obvious, and soon half of the sky turned red.
Immediately afterwards, a huge roar came from the fire.
The deafening sound shocked the Oara and Tatar soldiers.
"These are mortars from the Ming Dynasty. Run quickly. We are no match for these mortars."
I don't know who shouted first, and then the soldiers from Oara and Tatar ran to the rear one after another, panicking like wild horses running wild.
They were well aware of the power of Ming Dynasty mortars.
Those mortars can easily break through their armor and even blow their horses into pieces. Once a shell explodes near them, they basically lose hope of survival.
"Damn it, when did the Ming Dynasty bring this thing here? Why didn't we find it?"
Wala's general said bitterly, and then led his horses to retreat to the rear. He had seen the power of this Ming Dynasty weapon on the battlefield before, and was very afraid of it.
At this time, he even forgot to give orders and just focused on escaping to the rear.
As the Oara and Tatar generals fled one after another, the soldiers became even more chaotic and fled directly to the rear without even pulling their horses.
After hearing the deafening sound of cannons, the war horses of Oara and Tatar also showed great panic. They raised their horses' hooves high and the soldiers on the horses fell off one after another.
At this time, in the army camp of the Ming Dynasty, Chu King Zhu Muchen was standing on a high place, watching the Oara and Tatar troops being defeated.
At this time, soldiers came to report.
"Tell the King of Chu that we have fired the first round of cannonballs, do we still want to continue?"
Zhu Muchen responded with a very calm expression, "Continue, continue until I give the order to stop."
He looked at the mortar in the front position not far away. After the soldiers loaded the ammunition there and detonated it, a very strong sound would erupt in an instant.
But if you look closely, you can see that those mortars simply made a loud noise without causing any substantial damage.
Yes, this was Zhu Muchen's plan. He ordered his soldiers to use a large number of these powerful flames to launch them. Although they could not cause damage to the distant Oara and Tatar enemies, they could still make them feel fearful.
At this time, he could see from here that the Oara and Tatar armies were in a mess. The roars and flames made them forget to look back and just run forward as hard as they could.
Seeing that the enemies had fled very far away, Zhu Muchen directly raised the military order flag in his hand to give command.
"All mortars move forward three hundred steps, then fill and fire."
In this way, Zhu Muchen used this powerful but powerless mortar to torture Oara and the Tatar Rangers for a whole night.
During this period, he continued to order the mortars to move forward, and by the way, he also moved the Ming Dynasty's military flag forward.
After seeing this, the enemies thought that the Ming Dynasty was moving forward and wanted to increase the range of the mortars.
