Chapter 102 The God of War in Gaoyou City! Emperor Dayuan was captured by Zhu Yuanzhang!?
"You don't want to wait for most of them, but you have to come to Huaidong. Your Majesty really thinks that the red scarf thief is easy to deal with!" Ye Xian Timur said angrily.
"You idiot, shut up!"
Tuotuo scolded sternly.
Their brothers are now on the chopping block. Whether they live or die depends entirely on the whim of Emperor Yuan!
The top priority now is to try to clear Timur of the defeat as much as possible.
Tuo Tuoqiang cheered up and paced back and forth in the tent.
He thought for a long time, then stared at Timur and asked, "How many people did you escape from this defeat?"
Timur shook his head first. "I don't know. Anyway, there were only a dozen soldiers around me. They robbed a boat and ran out. I don't know how many people are left."
Tuotuo suddenly became even more angry.
"Let me ask you again, how many thieves were killed or injured?"
First of all, Timur naturally had no idea how many Red Turban soldiers he had killed.
The Red Turban Army's trench and wall tactics caused the Yuan army to hit the wall repeatedly, and they suffered a lot of casualties. As for how many Red Turban soldiers were killed, it is not known at all.
However, Timur noticed his brother's anger first and did not dare to tell the truth.
He immediately pretended to think about it and then said.
"The thieves were outnumbered, but there were many miscellaneous soldiers. I led my troops to charge and kill them several times, and almost broke out."
"Stop talking nonsense, how many thieves have been killed!" Tuotuo said impatiently.
"If you don't have 50,000 thieves to kill, you have to have 30,000!" Timur Yexian said without blushing and his heart not beating.
When Tuotuo heard this, he immediately guessed based on the information he had obtained that although Zhu Yuanzhang, a group of red scarf thieves, had annihilated the Yuan army, he must have suffered a serious loss of soldiers and generals.
"You can't win in a fight, but you can escape death!"
Tuotuo paced back and forth even more impatiently, finally making up his mind.
"Quickly, grind the ink for me, and I will report to His Majesty!"
First, the news of Timur's defeat of more than 100,000 troops at Wulonghe soon reached Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, Tuohuan Timur had already led the imperial guards of the Yuan army to Bianliang.
Pingzhang Temur of Henan Province led the military training envoy Chahan Timur, Li Siqi and others to welcome the emperor.
Before Tuohuan Timur had time to reward these ministers for their meritorious service in repelling the red scarf thieves and guarding Bianliang, he received the news of Timur's defeat.
"waste!"
"The army of more than 100,000 people was defeated, and Tamerlane should die first!"
Tuohuan Timur immediately became furious.
Youcheng Hama and others who were accompanying him were all too arrogant to show off.
Emperor Meng Yuan originally wanted to go out to the mountains to pick peaches during this personal expedition.
I never expected that the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang from Huainan could be so good at fighting, and defeated Timur's army of more than 100,000 men.
From this point of view, Huainan is really dangerous.
As an emperor, Tuohuan Timur was already a little scared.
This violent outburst seemed a bit like a panic attack.
Under such worries, Tuohuan Timur even came up with the plan to stop going south, sit in Bianliang, and continue to let Tuotuo support the plan to suppress the bandits.
Youcheng Hama and others soon realized the emperor's intention to love Timur.
They immediately became as anxious as ants on a hot pot!
This is absolutely not possible!
Hama and others encouraged the emperor to go on a personal expedition in order to kill Prime Minister Tuotuo.
If the emperor is afraid and dares not continue his personal expedition, and continues to rely on Tuotuo, then the ministers such as Hama and others who have made slanderous remarks will be in danger!
After Tuotuo wiped out the red scarf thieves and made a great contribution to the world, wouldn't it mean that he would die without a burial place if he turned around to deal with Hama and others?
At this time, two urgent memorials rekindled the fighting spirit of Yuan Emperor Tuohuan Timur!
One letter was a confession sent by Prime Minister Tuotuo. It stated that his younger brother was guilty of defeating Timur. However, Timur also fought hard and dealt a heavy blow to the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang. He could not fight.
The enemy has to retreat after being defeated.
".
The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court roared with fire and cannons, and the thief general fell down at the sound. Dozens of people surrounded the thief general's broken body and fled away howling.
"
When Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Meng Yuan Dynasty saw this, he was not only not angry because of the defeat, but also a little happy.
First, Tamerlane was defeated, and he was justified in taking over Tuotuo's crime and seizing power, and no one would dare to question him again.
Moreover, judging from the memorial, although the red scarf thieves defeated the officers and soldiers, they themselves suffered heavy losses and would no longer have an impact on the battle situation in Huaidong.
"Where did this traitorous general come from? Why didn't Tuotuo explain it in the memorial?"
Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty asked the messenger who sent the message.
The messenger had already received Tuotuo's instructions and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the thief general is the younger brother of the thief leader Zhu Yuanzhang. The thief's name is Zhu Han. I heard that he is the Zhu thief's first counselor and general.
This serious injury will lead to death soon!"
"Zhu Han? This is the first time I've heard of this name!"
Tuohuan Timur nodded slightly.
Since the younger brother of the thief Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously injured by the cannons of the Yuan army, it means that the thief army must have been seriously injured, and there will be no danger for him to continue to drive and conquer personally.
After all, Zhang Shicheng is already a turtle in the urn and can be captured and killed at any time.
"I congratulate Your Majesty. Although the imperial court suffered losses in the battle of Wulong River, our Yuan Dynasty has millions of strong soldiers. However, the Han people signed an army with as many as they want. And the thieves suffered heavy losses. They will definitely not be able to resist the arrival of Your Majesty's power."
!" Youcheng Hama said excitedly.
Hearing Hama's words, Tuohuan Timur nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Hama presented the second memorial list.
This was sent from Pingzhang Bolu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.
Bolu said in the memorial that the navy and infantry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces originally suffered heavy losses, but when the officials and people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang heard that the emperor was personally conducting the expedition, they were very enthusiastic. The rich contributed money and the powerful contributed, and they have accumulated nearly one million yuan.
The gold and silver coins are ready to be given to His Majesty the Emperor to reward the troops.
"million?"
As soon as he heard this number, Tuohuan Timur's eyes widened in surprise.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Jiangnan is indeed a rich land. I have been harassed by thieves several times before. In addition, I recruited a group to disperse wealth and practice volunteerism. I thought I had no money left, but I didn't expect that I would have more money."
There is so much treasure!"
Emperor Dayuan's march was originally intended to be a reward for the troops in Bianliang to motivate the accompanying soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
However, after the previous siege by the Red Scarf Army, Bianliang had already spent all the food, grass and money accumulated in the city, and could not spare a single copper plate to reward the troops.
Most of the imperial guards who followed were no longer the cowards who followed Genghis Khan in bloody battles. They were basically pampered Mongolian princes.
They didn't get any rewards to reward their troops, so they were already full of complaints.
As the emperor, Tuohuan Timur also understood this.
Now that things are going well, Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has already prepared the money to reward the army, and Brother Tuotuo has also severely damaged the vitality of the red scarf thieves.
Tuohuan Timur can continue to confidently and boldly go to conquer the country in person.
"I am uneasy because the bandits will not be eliminated. I will send an order to the entire army tomorrow to prepare to continue marching south!"
Tuohuan Timur ordered loudly.
"I obey, Your Majesty!" You Cheng Hama immediately accepted the order happily and left.
Shortly after the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty left Bianliang, he met another emissary sent by Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
This time, the envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang brought almost ten thousand taels of gold to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, all of which were made of exquisite gold leaves and given to the Emperor to reward his troops.
"Beru is a loyal minister!"
Tuohuan Timur immediately distributed the reward to the whole army. All the Mongolian warriors and Xuejie were almost one tael of gold each. As for the other Han people, Koreans and other entourage, the envoys would ask the number of people and they would be offered next time.
Come.
really.
The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, who had welcomed Timur in his honor, had just arrived at Guide Mansion, and another wave of envoys from Pingzhang Bolu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were already waiting in advance.
This time, they brought more than ten thousand taels of gold, as well as many fine Jiangnan tribute teas and a large amount of expensive pepper and other spices.
The Meng Yuan Imperial Guards immediately burst into joy.
Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty looked at the high morale of the Imperial Guards. While he was happy and relieved, he also had some doubts.
That's how Bolu transported so many gold, silver and other items so quickly and safely.
Faced with the question of Emperor Yuan's love for Timur, the envoy from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was obviously well prepared and immediately gave a watertight answer.
"I am reporting to Your Majesty that the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang has lost his troops and has retreated from the state. Hearing that Your Majesty personally marched, he was heartbroken and asked the court to recruit him repeatedly. Bolu Pingzhang tried his best to deal with the thief, and it was impossible to transport some things from the south of the Yangtze River.
No difficulty.”
After some explanations by the envoy, Tuohuan Timur learned that the Yuan Dynasty navy on the Yangtze River had basically restored its navigation ability, and the red scarf thieves had no time to take care of themselves.
However, Tuohuan Timur still had doubts in his heart.
"That's not right. Tuotuo has repeatedly reported that the red scarf thieves are entrenched in the Yangtze River. The food, grass and money in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be supplied. Gaoyou City needs to be captured as soon as possible to end the war?" Tuohuan Timur said with a frown.
The envoy immediately knelt down to apologize, and then said with a cautious look: "Your Majesty, I don't know about these important military and state affairs. Maybe the Prime Minister has other compelling reasons."
What a bullshit necessity!
Tuohuan Timur thought for a moment and immediately guessed that Tuohuan must have deliberately exaggerated the supply problems of the Huaidong War because he did not want him to lead the expedition himself. The purpose was naturally to make him flinch.
After sending away the envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Youcheng Hama immediately made the same guess.
When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he immediately felt that his guess was 100% correct.
"Tuotuo, this traitor! No, he should be a national thief. After this battle, I will definitely punish him severely!" Tuohuan Timur shouted angrily.
Ever since Tuohuan Timur left Dadu with his imperial guards, the memorials from civil and military officials impeaching Tuochun were like snowflakes.
Various crimes such as being arrogant and domineering, being greedy and cruel, arranging troops to disturb the people, deceiving the emperor and being disloyal have already made Tuohuan Timur no longer have the slightest concern for his old friendship.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. As long as the army crosses the Huaihe River, it will be easy to annihilate the bandits! It won't be too late to punish Tuotuo and his rebellious party by then!" Hama said carefully from the side.
"Well, when we cross the Huaihe River, the first thing to do is to depose Tuotuo, and then he and Timur will be imprisoned as well!"
The Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards led by Tuohuan Timur marched southeast and soon arrived in Xuzhou.
However, Xuzhou, which was originally a large city in the Central Plains, was now basically deserted.
In the huge city of Xuzhou, apart from some government camps, there were not even hundreds of ordinary people to be found.
The culprit responsible for the current situation is the 'criminal' Tuotuo.
Previously, the Red Scarf Army occupied Xuzhou. After Tuotuo led the army to capture it, he indulged his men and carried out a large-scale massacre!
Almost every ten people in Xuzhou were killed, and those who were lucky enough to survive fled the city.
Now that the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was here, those noble Mongolian princes had to do chores such as fetching water, feeding horses, cooking, etc.
Even the grain and grass stockpiled in Xuzhou City are pitiful.
The Emperor of the Meng Yuan Dynasty welcomed Timur and the Imperial Guards for only one day, then left Xuzhou and continued to move forward, cursing.
Along the way, they encountered two groups of envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province not only sent a lot of gold and silver money, but also paid for the purchase of grain and grass supplies in advance on the way the "Emperor's Driver" was about to advance.
The Imperial Guards of Emperor Yuan Dynasty only need to be escorted with peace of mind, and they don't need to do anything to provide food and clothing themselves.
The Yuan army was relaxed, especially Youcheng Hama, who secretly received many tributes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and even praised Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in front of Emperor Yuan.
When Emperor Yuan's emperor, who was in love with Timur, arrived at the north bank of the Huaihe River, he was blocked by a vast lake in front of him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, this is Hongze Lake. After passing it, we will reach Huainan!" You Cheng Hama explained from the side.
Emperor Yuan Tuohuan Timur smiled slightly. "Hama, you don't need to tell me, I have already been here!"
It turns out that Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty was exiled to the south of Guangfu by the previous emperor in his early years. He returned to Dadu several years later. The route he took at that time passed through Hongze Lake.
"Your Majesty is wise, but I am stupid!" You Cheng Hama quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, after crossing the river, Bolu has sent people to prepare a camp. There is water, food and horse feed in it. After three to five days of walking, we can reach Gaoyou." A middle-aged scribe next to him said.
Emperor Yuan Tuo Huan Timur nodded with satisfaction. "Liu Bowen, you guys in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have done a great job. You are all heroes of the Yuan Dynasty. After this battle, I will personally issue an imperial edict to commend you!"
"I'm scared, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Liu Bowen said quickly.
It turned out that in order to confidently and boldly explore the true situation of Emperor Yuan's holy drive, Liu Bowen personally went out and led a large number of treasures to reward the army to pay homage to Emperor Yuan.
As the day passed, the Imperial Guards escorting Emperor Yuan finally completed crossing the river.
They were stationed in a camp that had been prepared in advance.
This camp set up by people from Pingzhang Bolu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang not only has all kinds of archery towers for defense, but also has no shortage of all kinds of food, grass, meat, food and wine. In addition, even the fodder for horses is chopped finely.
Everyone in the Imperial Guard praised Bolu's loyalty.
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was also very happy to have Timur in his arms, and immediately praised Liu Bowen verbally.
As an envoy, Liu Bowen naturally did not dare to take credit and be arrogant, and put all the credit on Lord Bolu Pingzhang.
By the time the guards finished everything, it was already evening.
As the cold evening wind blew, the entire camp fell into sleep.
Under the dark night, the Yuan army camp was as quiet as a cemetery.
In Hongze Lake not far away, there is a hidden reed swamp.
A Red Turban soldier, wearing night clothes, hurriedly took a boat to report.
"Deputy Commander, the Tatars have already entered the camp!"
When Zhu Han, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, heard this, he immediately stood up happily.
"Okay, here's the order. The navy troops are on standby to prevent the Tartars from escaping by boat. The horse infantry troops will change their uniforms with me!" Zhu Han gave the order.
soon.
More than 10,000 Red Turban troops all put on brand-new Yuan army uniforms, and a few of the rebel soldiers who led the army had even shaved off their hair, turning into the half-bald hairstyle commonly seen among Mongolians.
.
As the banners of the Yuan army were played out one after another, the elite red scarf army led by Zhu Han instantly transformed into the elite Yuan army under Tuotuo, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty.
More than 10,000 elite Red Scarf Army troops dressed up in disguise and took advantage of the darkness to head towards the camp where Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was stationed.
Following the already set marching route, Zhu Han and the others soon arrived at the outermost edge of the Hongze Lake camp.
According to the agreement, Liu Bowen, who stayed in the camp, would escape from the camp's secret passage.
really.
Zhu Han and the others waited at the agreed place for less than half an hour when Liu Bowen arrived in the dark.
"Sir, how is everything?" Zhu Han asked immediately.
Liu Bowen let out a breath of turbid air. The climb up the tunnel just now almost suffocated him to death.
"Deputy Commander, everything is as usual. The Tartar Emperor and the soldiers are unprepared and can attack. This is their defense plan. The Tartar Emperor lives here!"
As Liu Bowen spoke, he took out a defense map he had just drawn.
"Haha, this Tatar emperor is really cunning. He actually changed his own troop deployment." Zhu Han smiled coldly after reading this.
This camp was built by the Red Scarf Army, and they already knew where the weak points were. As for the temporary changes of the Yuan Army, they did not escape their expectations at all.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?" Liu Bowen asked worriedly.
According to this personal investigation, the escorting Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards were mainly composed of Qing Xue Ji, who were composed of noble children, as well as the servant troops from the Liaoyang and Goryeo expeditions, and a small number of noble guards from the northern Han Dynasty.
These soldiers and horses can be said to be the last elite of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and their combat capabilities are probably not easy to deal with.
Now that the defenses have been changed again, Liu Bowen is really worried that the more than 10,000 people brought by Zhu Han will not be able to annihilate them.
"The Tatars only have 10,000 soldiers and horses. I brought more than 15,000 people and more than a dozen artillery pieces. It will definitely not be a problem to deal with a group of pampered Mongolian nobles' sons!"
Zhu Han didn't care at all about the cowardly Xue Ji and other Imperial Guards in the late Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
In history, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was finally overthrown, these cowardly Xue Jie never went into battle, they were just a bunch of useless people.
Except for the name of Qie Xue Ge, which is still the same as in the Genghis Khan era, everything else is completely incomparable.
Since everything was OK, Zhu Han immediately decided to march quickly and attack the Hongze Lake camp where Emperor Meng Yuan was stationed.
Zhu Han ordered the torches to be lit and the march to be carried out openly and honestly.
He got on his horse, pointed his sword straight ahead, and shouted to the whole army.
"The enemy is in Hongze Lake!"
Under the night of the first month, the cold wind is still bitingly cold.
Especially since Hongze Lake belongs to the southern boundary, the humid and cold air made it even more difficult for Yue Libuhua and others to stay on guard outside the camp.
"This place of thieves in the south is actually a bit colder than Dadu!"
A Mongolian timid Xue Bai wrapped himself in a robe and complained.
As the hereditary guard of thousands of households, Yue Libu Hua just listened to the complaints of his subordinates and said nothing.
Yue Li Bu Hua is the great-grandson of Mu Huali, the founding hero of Mongolia. He is a member of a standard military family. As a guard of the Great Khan, he naturally has a meticulous consciousness.
As for the other timid Imperial Guards, they were all used to being pampered, and no one was on duty properly. They all gathered together to drink, talk and laugh.
Regarding these subordinates, Yue Libuhua had no intention of controlling them.
We are all noble children, and even if we don't spend a month to discipline them, they will just laugh and deal with it.
suddenly.
Yue Libuhua saw a series of lights floating in the darkness in the distance.
"what is that?"
Yue Libuhua exclaimed in a low voice, which attracted the surrounding Yuan soldiers to pay attention to the distance.
They saw a series of lights approaching rapidly towards the emperor's camp. As the series of lights became more and more numerous, Yue Libuhua and others finally determined that it was a large team marching with torches.
"Strange, where did the people and horses come from?" Yue Li Buhua was full of doubts.
These so-called Mongolian cowardly and evil elites have long been accustomed to being pampered. Except for their loyalty, which is worthy of trust, the rest of their military skills are already substandard.
Faced with this situation, there is actually no need for any elites. Just a team of qualified scouts will immediately issue an 'enemy attack' warning.
Even if the warning is a misunderstanding, it is still better than being attacked by the enemy.
However, Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty was sleeping soundly in the camp. Yue Libuhua and others did not dare and did not think of announcing an enemy attack.
After all, this place was under the control of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, and there was no information on the whereabouts of thieves.
"Let's go, let me interrogate you!"
Yue Libuhua got on his horse and led a few of his men towards the front.
Following a burst of galloping horses, Yue Libuhua and others quickly stopped the group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin in the dark night.
"Where are you from?"
Yue Libuhua shouted loudly.
He was speaking in Mongolian. If he was a bandit, it would be impossible to understand him.
"We are here under the orders of Prime Minister Tuotuo to welcome the holy chariot and escort him!"
A response quickly came from the darkness, and it was also in Mongolian.
When Yue Libuhua and others heard this, he immediately lowered his guard by more than half.
Since Prime Minister Tuotuo sent someone to escort him, there is nothing to worry about.
"Okay, it turns out he is one of our own!"
Yue Libuhua and others rode forward confidently and boldly.
They quickly came closer and saw several officers wearing Yuan officer uniforms coming towards them.
Yue Libuhua saw that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court were not wearing helmets, and their shiny heads were exposed with hot sweat. They all had standard Mongolian hairstyles, and the last bit of vigilance was removed.
"Dare I ask your name, sir?"
An officer asked Yue Libuhua.
"Xue Xue is so timid that he can directly lead thousands of households to Yue Li Bu Hua!" Yue Li Bu Hua said loudly.
Hearing that he was a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, the officers who were "Tao Tuo Men" all looked flattering. They gathered around them, took out gold and silver orbs from their arms, and stuffed them into the moon.
Don’t spend it waiting in someone else’s hands.
Yue Libuhua was filled with joy by these "sensible" officers. She was only busy chatting with them and receiving gold, silver and jewelry. She didn't realize that several soldiers had come around behind them and blocked and surrounded them.
Just when Yue Libuhua was filled with joy, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
He suddenly turned around and saw a group of "official soldiers" armed with swords and guns surrounding him.
Yue Libu Hua was shocked and just wanted to yell loudly to warn.
suddenly.
He only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he couldn't make a sound. Then his body went limp, and he fell to the ground with blood gushing out.
The remaining soldiers of the Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards were also attacked at the same time, and they were all killed without a word.
"Hmph, dog Tatar, bring it to you!"
Chang Yuchun rubbed the corpses for a while and retrieved all the gold, silver and jewelry that he had just "honored".
"Chang Yuchun, stop looking and march quickly!"
Zhu Han couldn't help but lecture.
"Yes, deputy commander!"
Zhu Han led the Red Scarf Army in disguise, and using several officials sent by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who knew Mongolian, they quickly solved the peripheral warnings they encountered and arrived in front of the Yuan army camp.
"Deploy artillery and seal all exits!"
"Set up the trebuchets and load them with explosive alcohol projectiles!"
"Scatter all the iron pears and tripping spikes over there, and don't let a single Tatar escape!"
Following a burst of intensive orders, the Red Scarf Army followed the layout that had been rehearsed and surrounded the entire Yuan Army emperor's camp.
A large number of defensive weapons such as iron pear and horse tripping spikes were filled in the open space. Even if the Yuan army wanted to break out now, even if thousands of people were killed or injured, they would not be able to escape.
The first place to start the battle was the Red Scarf Navy on Hongze Lake. They took small boats and took advantage of the north wind to rush the arson boats one by one towards the Yuan army ships.
With the flames soaring into the sky, the possibility of the Yuan army escaping through the waterway was completely blocked.
The bright red fire immediately caused panic in the Yuan army camp.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the navy ship is on fire!"
A close aide broke into the camp of Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty.
"What, is there a fire?"
Tuohuan Timur was suddenly surprised.
He quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the tent to check.
As soon as he walked out of the camp, Tuohuan Timur suddenly felt a bright light flashing above his head.
He looked up and saw dozens of shining points of light falling from the black night sky, like stars falling.
Peng!
Suddenly, a shining light suddenly hit the Yuan army camp.
call!
Immediately afterwards, a ball of orange-red flame exploded, igniting a fire in a tent, and the Mongolian Imperial Guards who were sleeping inside howled like ghosts.
They struggled to tear open the collapsed tent and crawled out screaming.
There was a Guardsman who was covered in flames and couldn't put it out with his palms. Not only could he not put it out, but his palms also caught fire.
"Evil fire!"
Tuohuan Timur was frightened. He knew that there was a kind of thick black water drilled underground in the Western Regions, which could be used to ignite fires.
However, Emperor Meng Yuan had no time to scream more, so he had to hide in Tibet desperately.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because more and more alcohol-burning projectiles are smashed in by the trebuchet.
All the tents in the entire Yuan army camp were burned down.
"Your Majesty, enemy attack!"
"Your Majesty, a large group of thieves are coming outside!"
Several generals of the Imperial Guard finally found the hiding emperor Tuohuan Timur.
"Where are the thieves from?"
Tuohuan Timur was shocked and regretful, and asked in a crying voice.
"Your Majesty, I still don't know." A general said.
"Your Majesty, Tuo Tuo must have rebelled. I just saw vaguely the uniforms of officers and soldiers!" You Cheng said in a embarrassed tone.
It turned out that when the Red Turban Army started throwing incendiary bombs, You Cheng Hama happened to be patrolling the camp and happened to see the Red Turban Army against the firelight.
"If Tuotuo dares to rebel, you should be damned!" Tuohuan Timur said angrily.
With a burst of intensive throwing, the entire Yuan army camp was ignited into a fire.
All the provisions, tents, baggage, stables, etc. that accompanied them were burned to ashes. Even the armor and stomach of many guardsmen were burned by the fire.
By the time the Red Scarf Army had destroyed all the alcohol-sugar incendiary bombs, at least nearly one-third of the Imperial Guards had no armor and stomach protection.
As a burst of trumpets and drums sounded, the Red Scarf Army outside the camp took off their Yuanbing military uniforms and put on the red flag of the Red Scarf Army!
Under the illumination of the torch, the red flags were like flames, almost blinding the eyes of the cowardly soldiers of the Yuan army.
"What, the red scarf thief!"
"Where did the red scarf thief come from?"
The entire Yuan Army camp was suddenly in panic!
When Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty heard that it was a sneak attack by red scarf thieves, he did not react for a while.
"Where did the red scarf thief come from? Didn't Tuotuo say that the red scarf thief couldn't shrink away?"
Youcheng Hama and others cried bitterly and shouted.
"Your Majesty, this is all Tuotuo's treacherous plan!"
"If the red scarf thief dares to attack, someone must have tipped him off!"
Just as the emperor and his ministers were weeping at each other, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded outside the camp.
"People inside, listen, you have been surrounded. If you want to survive, hand over your emperor!"
"Hand over your emperor, and none of the others will be killed!"
The Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards in the camp were still in panic.
However, when they heard the shouts of these Red Scarf Army soldiers, their blood suddenly rose again.
They are all Mongol cowards. They have been the guards of the Mongol Khan since their ancestors. How could they be asked to hand over their own Khan in order to survive?
This is simply a huge insult to them.
Several Mongolian generals with some combat experience immediately organized the imperial guards to restore order and began to set up defense.
They also organized a group of elite daredevils to surround the emperor Tuohuan Timur, ready to defend the emperor with their lives at any time.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, the Mongolian Imperial Guards began to counterattack. They used bows and arrows to drive away the approaching Red Scarf Army.
However, the arrows in the dark night were not very accurate. After the Yuan army fired in vain for a while, apart from breaking some arrows in vain, there was no result.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?"
Chang Yuchun, Chen Baodao and other generals asked.
Zhu Han took a look at the sky and saw that there was still more than an hour until dawn.
Everything in the Yuan army camp must have been burned down, and they would not even be able to eat after dawn.
"The entire army is on alert and will wait until breakfast before preparing to attack!" Zhu Han ordered.
As the Red Scarf Army stopped its offensive rhythm, the Yuan Army Imperial Guards in the camp became increasingly panicked.
Emperor Tuohuan Timur also asked anxiously.
"Which red scarf thief is this?"
"How many troops does the thief have?"
"When will the reinforcements come?"
"Where are the reinforcements?"
Faced with a series of soul questions from the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, several generals of the Yuan army lowered their heads helplessly.
However, as the darkness dissipated and dawn arrived, everything outside the camp was finally seen clearly by the Yuan army.
I saw a huge red scarf army flag with a big word "zhu" embroidered on it.
"Your Majesty, the red scarf thief outside the camp seems to be Zhu Yuanzhang's younger brother Zhu Han!"
Youcheng Hama quickly brought the news to the emperor.
When the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty heard that he was so fond of Timur, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"What, Zhu Han? That guy Tuotuo, didn't he say that Zhu Han was seriously injured by the fire gun? Why did he come here?"
Hama cried sadly. "Your Majesty, Tuotuo must have colluded with the thieves, or else he turned his defeat into victory, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"The traitor mistook me!"
Tuohuan Timur patted his thighs and cried bitterly.
At this time, the sky was already bright.
The entire Red Scarf Army had already eaten hot soup and rice to replenish their physical strength.
The Yuan army in the camp had all their food and supplies burned down, and everyone was hungry. They could only drink a few wells when they were really hungry.
Youcheng Hama and several other ministers and generals finally collected some sesame cakes and gave them to Emperor Tuohuan Timur with both hands to satisfy his hunger.
Now, everyone in the army knows that they were plotted by the red scarf thieves and the traitors.
It is impossible for reinforcements to come to escort and rescue the siege.
"Your Majesty, there are only more than 10,000 traitors outside the camp, and our army also has 10,000 people. With a strong fight, it is very possible to break through successfully!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the elite to rush into the battle first to draw the attention of the thieves, and then Your Majesty can take the opportunity to break out!"
Several generals of the Imperial Guard proposed their own strategies. Tuohuan Timur swallowed a mouthful of dry biscuits, and then said worriedly.
"If I am ambushed by thieves, wouldn't I be in more danger?"
You Cheng Hama and others were also suspicious. "Swords and guns have no eyes. If your majesty's golden body is injured, you will die forever!"
Facing the cowardly monarchs and ministers, these generals of the Imperial Guard continued to dissuade them.
"Your Majesty, the food and grass in the camp have been burned to the ground. The longer it takes, the weaker our army's combat power will be. We might as well take this opportunity and fight hard to earn a way out!" A timid general Xue Gui advised.
Tuohuan Timur remained silent and did not speak, letting him take the risk to break out of the encirclement was really hard on him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Hama and other ministers next to you put forward different suggestions of their own.
"Your Majesty, why not send someone to negotiate with the red scarf thieves? As long as they are willing to withdraw their troops to relieve the siege, we can agree to any conditions!" Hama suggested.
"Yes, we can talk! Send people to recruit them and tell them that as long as they withdraw their troops to relieve the siege, I am willing to seal off all of Huainan and Jiangbei to them!" Tuohuan Timur seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Your Majesty is wise. As long as the thieves retreat and rescue the siege, any promise is just a word!" Hama also became happy.
Several generals of the Imperial Guard looked at each other in confusion, as if they were seeing a pair of mentally retarded monarchs and ministers.
Soon, Hama sent a confidant to the Red Turban Army formation with a blank edict stamped with a large jade seal from Emperor Meng Yuan.
"Deputy Commander, a monster monk is here!" Chang Yuchun shouted loudly.
The envoy who came was a monk who looked like a foreigner from the Western Regions. He had a bald head and an aquiline nose, and his appearance was extremely unpleasant.
"Bring it here." Zhu Han ordered.
Soon, the monk was brought forward.
After listening to his narration, Zhu Han directly rejected the possibility of 'peace talks' without even thinking about it.
"Commander, your Majesty also said that if you are not satisfied with the Jiangbei Province, you can also grant you the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces as well!" The monk continued to work hard.
Zhu Han smiled coldly. "Whether it is Jiangbei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Dadu, the place that belongs to us Han people will naturally be taken by ourselves with our own ability. We don't need any reward from the Meng Yuan Emperor!"
After saying this, Zhu Han took a deep breath and continued.
"Go back and tell your emperor and cowardly villains that if they are still men, then muster up the courage to fight to the last man!"
"If they still want to live, then hand over your emperor and then come out and surrender. I will not kill any of the prisoners!"
After hearing Zhu Han's words, the monk seemed to want to continue arguing.
However, Zhu Han did not intend to give him this opportunity.
Zhu Han sneered and said: "I only give you one hour to think about it. If the time is up and you haven't agreed to hand over Tuohuan Timur and surrender, then go in!"
When Monk Fan heard this, he still refused to give up. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty also said that if the commander-in-chief is willing to withdraw his troops, the Yellow River can be drawn as a boundary!"
Zhu Han is not a three-year-old child, so of course it is impossible for him to believe such ridiculous nonsense.
The monk was still going to chatter endlessly, so Zhu Han waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, the one-hour timer has started. If you talk nonsense here, it counts as time!"
"Fight or surrender, go back and discuss!"
Immediately, Zhu Han ordered the guards on the left and right to use their fists and kicks to beat the monk out randomly.
When the Banseng envoy returned to the camp and told the news to Emperor Tuohuan Timur and others, everyone was furious.
"Fight with the thief!"
"Your Majesty, we will fight to the death and protect your Majesty to break through!"
Faced with the failure of the peace talks, Timur could only pin his hopes on a breakout.
How many generals of the Praetorian Guard are quick?
??The countermeasures were agreed upon. They first clashed with elite cavalry on the left and right, involving the formation of the Red Scarf Army. Then when a loophole appeared in the Red Scarf Army, seven or eight groups of elites broke out from different directions, and the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty agreed.
Mu'er was hiding among one of the breakout elites.
After discussing the countermeasures, several generals of the Guards planned to take advantage of the situation and lied about leaving the camp to surrender, so as to give the elite cavalry involved a chance to leave the camp and form an array.
Under this arrangement, Tuohuan Timur called the monk again.
Emperor Yuan pretended to express that he had decided to leave the camp and surrender. Whether he would live or die depended on the fate of the Red Turban Army. He only asked Zhu Han to let all the Yuan soldiers go and return to the capital.
After hearing this, the monk almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"Your Majesty's great mercy will bring great joy to the Bodhisattva!"
