The three major battalions of the Ming Army were the Shenji Camp, the Fifth Army Camp and the Three Thousand Battalion. The Shenji Battalion contained artillery and muskets, the Fifth Army Camp was a mixed infantry and cavalry unit, and the Three Thousand Battalion was based on the troops surrendered by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
The cavalry unit's tactics were improved by Zhu Di based on Mu Ying's tactics of defending elephants, which could perfectly achieve the purpose of restraining the more mobile Mongolian cavalry.
Generally, after discovering the Mongolian cavalry, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion will immediately move closer to the front of the formation, prepare to fire artillery and muskets, and then fire under unified command. This round of shooting is a sudden attack on the Mongolian cavalry.
.
After the Shenji Battalion finished shooting, it would immediately retreat to the two wings of the team, and then the cavalry from the 3,000 Battalion and the 5th Army Battalion immediately launched an attack, delivering a fatal blow to the heavily damaged Mongolian cavalry.
After the cavalry charge, the infantry of the fifth army camp would follow closely and deal a final fatal blow to the chaotic Mongolian cavalry. Anyway, most of the Mongolian cavalry would be wiped out every time.
Ye first led the Mongolian and Yuan army, known as an army of 600,000, all the way to the capital city. Suning also walked out curiously, holding a telescope and looking at the Queen Mother Sun who was doing pre-war mobilization in the distance.
At this time, Suning felt that Fan Zhong, who had recovered next to him, was a little excited, so he handed the military telescope in his hand to Fan Zhong, "General Fan, take a look too!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fan Zhong took the strange-looking binoculars from Suning's hand and looked towards the Ming Dynasty Square in the distance. Seeing the situation in the distance clearly displayed in front of him, Old General Fan Zhong was trembling with excitement and wished he could return immediately.
He formed his own Ming army formation and fought with his compatriots and comrades. Unfortunately, they are now prisoners of the Mongolian and Yuan armies.
"General Fan, you don't need to be too excited. You can look at this battlefield from the perspective of the enemy. On the contrary, you can better analyze the weaknesses and shortcomings of both sides of the battle." Suning comforted him with a nonchalant smile.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I will watch and analyze it carefully."
"Emperor Ming, you are quite smart, but do you think I will let you go?" At this time, the man who was watching the soldiers from both sides fighting turned to Suning first. He also heard the conversation between Suning and Fan Zhong.
"Grand Master, I know your current mentality. You have finally entered the Central Plains this time. If you don't try your best, you will definitely not be willing to do it."
"Oh? Emperor Ming might as well tell me, can the Mongolian tribes led by me win?" Ye Xian looked at Suning with a smile in his heart.
"Grand Master, why do you have to deceive yourself? Most of the Meng Yuan cavalry were killed or injured before they even rushed to our Ming army's formation. How can we talk about a great victory over our Ming army?"
"Hmph! It seems that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty trusted the strength of the Ming army!" Ye Xian continued to say mockingly.
"Grand Master, actually what you are doing now is very confusing to me. When your Mongolian and Yuan army is defeated, the most serious damage will be your own reputation first. This is very different from your goal!"
"Goal? What is my goal?" He also looked at Suning in surprise.
"Master, when you want to make a deal with me, we can discuss it in detail alone."
"Hmph! Pretending to be mysterious!" At this time, Ye Xian didn't think much of Suning, and he didn't think Suning had seen his biggest ambition.
After Suning's persuasion, Fan Zhong had calmed down a lot, and no longer felt the excitement and pain at the beginning. Instead, under Suning's reminder, he began to watch and study the battle between the two sides. After all, he studied the battle formation from the enemy's perspective.
It's still rare.
In the distance, on the wall of Yongding Gate in the capital city, Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei of the Ming Dynasty was also holding a monocular telescope, watching the fighting between the soldiers on both sides and the command tent of the Mongolian and Yuan armies. It was easy to see Suning, who was standing next to Ye Xian.
They also spotted Fan Zhong holding a strange-looking telescope, but thinking about the news in the Tumu Fort battle report not long ago, Sun Ruowei couldn't help but feel shocked.
At this time, Suning was staring ahead with disheveled hair. He was dressed in pure white clothes and did not feel any sense of desolation. He did not look like a frustrated prisoner at all. Instead, he had a sense of self-confidence.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the telescope, Sun Ruowei couldn't help but cry, and the maid on the side quickly said comfortingly, "The Queen Mother, the Emperor will definitely be rescued."
"Well, the Ai family is fine!" Sun Ruowei finally stopped crying, and then looked at the command tent of the Meng Yuan army again.
He also saw that the first battle ended with the defeat of the Mongolian and Yuan armies. He couldn't help but look at Suning with a playful expression, "Emperor Ming Dynasty, you were wrong at first. Your mother is really powerful. Under her command, Ming Dynasty
The army fought bravely."
"Master, do you really think your opponent is my mother?" Suning said with a disapproving smile.
"Emperor Ming Dynasty, it's already this time, do you still want to show off your sharp tongue?" Hearing Suning's rebuttal to him, he became a little annoyed at first.
"Master, in fact, your real opponent is your grandfather Mahamu's close friend."
"Yu Qian?"
"That's right! I'm also a Grand Master first, so you don't have any chance of winning."
"Emperor Ming Dynasty, I admit that Yu Qian is very powerful, but our Mongolian and Yuan army is also very powerful." Ye Xian began to worry in his heart, but he still retorted forcefully.
"Haha, Taishi, let's wait and see."
The first tentative attack between the Ming and Yuan armies finally ended with the defeat of the Meng and Yuan armies. The Mongolian and Yuan armies returned to their camps one by one with haggard heads, and there was no longer any trace of the beginning.
Arrogant and arrogant.
Sun Ruowei of the capital also summoned Yu Qian who was engaged in the defense of the capital immediately after the battle, and then asked Qian with a puzzled face, "Yu Shilang, the battle report said that General Fan Zhong died in the battle, then why did I do it?"
Did you see Fan Zhong next to the emperor?"
"Queen Mother, there must be some discrepancies between the battle report and the actual situation. You don't need to be too surprised, but this is good news." Yu Qian is now concerned about the defense of the capital, not the difference in the Tumu Fortress battle report.
"Master Yu, do you think we can welcome the emperor back this time?" Sun Ruowei looked at Yu Qian expectantly.
"Queen Mother, the most important issue now is to persevere. When Shandong prepares for the Japanese army to come for reinforcements, as long as we defeat the Mongolian and Yuan army, we will have unlimited possibilities." Regarding Sun Ruowei's question, Yu Qian was also a little difficult to answer.
.
"Master Yu, what you said makes sense. The Ai family is too impatient."
...
Suning looked at Fan Zhong who was thoughtful and asked, "General Fan, what was your harvest today?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful difference when looking at the same battle formation from another perspective." Fan Zhong couldn't help but become a little excited.
"Haha, the opportunity to be a prisoner is only once in a century. You should study the battle formations of both sides carefully." Seeing that Fan Zhong was no longer as aggrieved as he was at the beginning, Suning said jokingly to himself.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
The ensuing battle was just as Suning had expected. The Mongolian and Yuan armies never won a single victory. These Mongolian and Yuan tribal leaders no longer had the initial optimism. Instead, they couldn't help but think of Suning's words in the Chinese army's tent, and they felt once again in their hearts.
The myth of the invincibility of the Ming army arose, and it felt that the Central Plains would always be the curse of their grassland tribes.
"Grand Master, I feel that what Emperor Ming Dynasty said is right, we should retreat!" A tribal leader said loudly to Ye first.
"Humph! Wouldn't it be a pity if we retreated now?" He also looked at the tribal leader with some annoyance.
"Grand Master, what's the pity? Since we can't defeat the Ming army, then let's start cooperating as the Ming Emperor said."
"Cooperation? If we don't let Ming Dynasty see the power of our grassland, will they cooperate obediently?"
"this......"
"Okay! It's too early to say retreat now. Let's go down and rest first." He didn't want to continue talking to these short-sighted tribal leaders, but instead drove them out of the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, he was a little upset at first, and Boyan Timur also couldn't understand his elder brother, "Brother, I also think what the Ming Emperor said is right, there is no need for us to continue fighting."
"Boyan Tiemur, are you even questioning me?" Ye Xian looked at his brother in disbelief.
"Brother, I'm not questioning you, but the Ming army is too powerful and their firearms are too sharp. Our cavalry has no power to parry." Boyan Tiemur explained with a wry smile on his face.
"That's enough! Boyan, I think you were bewitched by the emperor of Ming Dynasty."
"Brother..."
"Shut up! Come with me to meet the Ming Emperor for a while, otherwise my Mongolian and Yuan armies will be dispersed by his mouth." Ye Xian said with some anger at this time.
When I came to Suning's camp for the first time, I looked at Suning and Fan Zhong who were making wine and discussing the battle. My nose was almost twisted with anger, and then I said to Qimuge beside me, "Qimuge, you are the one."
Is this how we treat our prisoners?"
"Great Khan, the emperor is our benefactor. He has saved many of our wounded soldiers." Qimuge retorted disapprovingly. She admired Suning more and more now.
"snort!"
"Grand Master Ye Xian, if you don't mind, why don't we sit down and have a drink together?" Suning suddenly looked at Ye Xian with a smile.
"Hmph! You, the prisoner, are doing something very cool."
He also sat down at the side angrily, and Boyan Tiemuer also sat down in surprise, and picked up the jug to pour wine. He saw that he often came here to hang out with Suning, so he also sat down first.
I became even more angry when I saw this situation.
"Excuse me, Grand Master, things haven't been going well lately, right?" Suning said with a knowing smile.
"Huh! You know what you're asking." He drank a glass of wine angrily, and then said with eyes brightening, "Emperor Ming Dynasty, what kind of wine is this? Why haven't I drunk it before?"
"Brother, this is Maotai, the best wine in the world." Boyan Tiemuer, who was drinking wine, explained for Ye first with a smile.
"That's not right! During the Tumu Fort, we captured all the supplies of the Ming army. Emperor Ming, where did you get the good wine?" But Ye Xian soon became confused again.
"Grand Master Ye Xian, haven't you heard of the Taoist theory of "The Universe in the Sleeve"? Suning looked at the confused Ye Xian with a mysterious face.
"What's in the sleeve?" Ye Xian was a little confused at this time.
"Yes! This is a magic spell of Taoist gods, which you mortals don't understand at all."
"Huh! Our Mongolian tribe believes in the Immortality of Heaven." Ye Xian became a little unhappy at this time.
"First Master, you must have something to say to me, right?"
"Emperor Ming Dynasty, if I let you go, what benefits can you give us Meng Yuan?" He was reluctant to put down the wine glass in his hand, but also looked at Suning meaningfully.
"Ye Xian Taishi, I know that your greatest ideal is to replace Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and become the Mongolian Great Khan, the co-leader of the grassland. I can help you realize your ideal."
"Nonsense! Xian Xian has always been loyal to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Khan, but I have never had such thoughts." Su Ning was suddenly upset, and Xian Xian was visibly flustered.
Both Boyan Tiemur and Qi Muge were close friends of Ye Xian, but this was the first time he heard about Ye Xian's ideals. Boyan Temuri couldn't help but look at his elder brother Ye Xian curiously, "Brother, the emperor said so
Is it true?"
"Boyan Tiemur, don't listen to the Ming Emperor's nonsense, I didn't!" He also drank a glass of wine with some embarrassment.
"Master Ye, it's been a hundred years since Meng Yuan withdrew from the Central Plains. Do you know why the Tuotuo Buhua family has been the nominal co-owner of the grassland?"
"..." He first looked at Suning in surprise. He was very interested in Suning's question, but he didn't dare to ask easily.
"It's because of their righteousness that the Tuotuobuhua family has righteousness that other grassland tribes don't have."
"Huh!" He finally agreed with Suning's statement.
"Master Yexian, if you want to achieve great justice, only I can help you." Suning stated his conditions with a smile.
"..."
"Grand Master, you entered the Central Plains this time just to raise your power to a high point, so that when you proclaim yourself the Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, you will not be opposed by other grassland tribes."
"Emperor Ming, you are really overthinking." He shook the empty jug in his hand first, then realized that he had drank all the Maotai in the Suning jug, then stood up and left unwilling to admit defeat.
Of course Ye Xian knew what Suning wanted, it was just to let him let them go, but Ye Xian was still a little unwilling to do so. He knew that this opportunity to enter the Central Plains was rare, so he had to cherish it.
"Your Majesty, why can't my eldest brother figure it out?" Boyan Tiemur couldn't understand that his eldest brother was also the first.
"Boyan Tiemur, in a few days I will have a showdown with Grand Master Yexian, because if I don't go back to the capital, my throne will be taken away by others."
"Ah? Your Majesty, then Qimuge and I will go with you." Boyan Tiemur offered to follow Suning.
"Bo Yan Tie Mu'er, I want you to continue to follow Grand Master Ye Xian back to the grassland."
"Ah? Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Boyan Tiemur, you saw it just now. Your eldest brother is too stubborn. He will definitely have a big battle with Tuotao Buhua. If you are by his side, he will at least have nothing.
Danger."
"This... but what should you do, Your Majesty?"
"Boyan Tiemur, I will take away Qimuge and her army, as well as the Khalkha tribe in Qinggetai. When your eldest brother is also in danger, you can protect your eldest brother and defect to me.
, so you have an extra way out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Boyan Tiemuer looked at Suning gratefully.
"Boyan Timur, we are all one family. As long as your brothers serve my Ming Dynasty, I will not be stingy with the throne or wealth."
"Yes! Your Majesty, Boyantemur will swear allegiance to you to the death." Boyantemur knelt down on one knee excitedly to pay homage.
Originally, Suning wanted to take away all the Mongolian tribes that had been tricked, but thinking that the main battlefield in the future would still be on the grassland, it came up with the idea of planting nails in Mongolia in advance, and Boyan Tiemuer was inside the grassland.
On the contrary, the effect is greater.
Treating Meng Yuan is not something that happens overnight, it is a vast project that takes many years, so Suning has patience and determination, and Wala must die first.
Thinking that in history, Wala Xianxian would soon call himself the Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Suning knew that he was not far from death. At that time, he only needed to use a little trick to cause chaos in the grassland again. Only in this way would he be given more opportunities.
