Although this exchange with Wei Zhongxian was very different from the previous conversations about discussing matters, it brought the two of them closer together and prevented Wei Zhongxian from acting like a headless fly.
Just like Yu Qian particularly admired Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiangsheng wanted to live like Yue Fei, Hong Chengchou liked military affairs since childhood and wanted to achieve military exploits, Wei Zhongxian himself also had his own ideas.
If you want to become famous in wars, if you want to make money, if you want to be a household name, if you want to show your achievements in government... you can do it.
Wei Zhongxian continued to inspect the various camps of the Royal Horse Prison after dusk.
After Zhu Youxiao had eaten, he lay on the grassland with cold wind and cold wind. He felt that the sky here was very vast and life was full of heroism, but the stars were very clear, as if he could easily reach them.
"If Lao Wei hadn't done a great job this time and had to carefully consider his promotion when he went back, I probably wouldn't have told him this~"
There are already people in charge of the Li Supervisor and Dongchang. If Wei Zhongxian aspires to take power and govern, it will be a bit troublesome...
If he really likes to take revenge, harm others, ransack homes, and put on a bad face for the emperor, then he should not be allowed to go in the direction of Dongchang or Xichang, because these positions require the ability to exercise restraint and careful use of power.
If he is really not good at restraint and caution, then he is suitable for pioneering and adventurous positions, because these require him to be arrogant and indulgent.
Will he be an explorer and conqueror under his own command?
"Seventy miles away, a small number of enemy cavalry is approaching! The number may be tens of thousands!"
"A mere Mongolian heavy cavalry dares to compete with your elite Xiao Ming!" Zhou Yuji roared angrily, straightened up his polished armor, and raised his head to face the menacing enemy.
"Hit it!"
The menacing Mongolian heavy cavalry, after rushing within ten steps of them, suddenly turned right and left and galloped around the formation to shoot.
Water, food and cold-weather supplies are all in good condition. Although reinforcements are supposed to arrive in a few hours, it is best to prepare for the worst.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" As Zhou Yuji waved his handsome flag, the cannons of the Franco machine under the ground opened fire. The hot solid iron cannonballs smashed back the galloping cavalry team, and the huge impact force instantly tore the place apart.
The clothes and leather were torn apart, and the horses were overturned. The cavalrymen were thrown far away on the ground and were trampled to pieces by the horses in front of them.
"hiss!"
"Glory belongs to you on horseback!"
"You, Zuo Weibi, are convinced!"
Tengxiang Cole had enough gunpowder tubes but not enough ammunition to practice marksmanship and various tactics. At a distance of a hundred steps, he could knock down a group of enemies with each salvo.
The Mongolian tribesmen all had to wonder whether they should learn from Zuo Wei Mi and be beaten beforehand, or whether they should sing and dance and be Xiao Ming's friend.
Zhu Youxiao is even more looking forward to Wei Zhongxian developing in this direction.
"yes!"
"aim!"
"yes!"
When I was young, one after another large white spots appeared at the end of the northern horizon. The white spots slowly formed a line connecting the city. Gradually, the white line turned into white clouds. Waves undulated under the white clouds, and various random roars gradually came in.
in the ears.
At that time, the eastern part of the grassland had just come under the influence of Nurhaci, and as soon as the idea of resisting Xiao Ming came up, Emperor Xiao Ming personally led a small army to sweep across the area and was shocked.
At night, they ran back slowly with their armor covered with blood and arrows stuck under their armor.
In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian cavalry on the left guard rushed to a distance of two hundred steps. The shaking of the ground, the neighing of the horses, and the roar of the enemy shocked Tengxiang Cole and impacted the hearts of the soldiers, but the roar of the small cannon
Completely responded to the enemy's rampage.
I let Wei Zhongxian stick to him, but let the whole army see him. Only in this way can we inspire the morale of the army and become famous!
Mounted shooting had no effect at all, and the heavy cavalry dared to rush down and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the heavy infantry with spears and knives.
Before Zhou Yuji finished speaking, he added: "Tengxiang's left guard is about ten miles away to the east of you, and the Beijing army's expeditionary corps and You Shilu's cavalry are about ten miles away in front of you. Please Eunuch Wei first withdraw to the side of the Beijing army."
"Xiao Ming wins!" Zhou Yuji roared.
Sun Yingyuan asked Zhou Yuji: "General Sun, he is far more experienced than you, Old Wei. Does he think it is time to fight or withdraw?"
Weng Nuobai, the fierce general of the left guard, took the lead in riding and shooting at a gallop. The Mongolian cavalry rushing behind me also raised their horse bows to the sky at seventy-seven degrees and fired an arrow with all their strength.
...
Sun Yingyuan was searching for the enemy with 2,000 Tengxiang Ouyi soldiers and horses from Zhou Yuji, Ou Yihe and others.
Those prairie men slowed down. It was too hot in winter, and the tribesmen, cattle and sheep would freeze to death if they kept running away.
Weng Nuobai could tell at a glance that there was no way to fight.
"not now!"
Zhou Yuji was not surprised, but only took half a breath firmly: "Wei Zhongxian!"
As the people seeking help left quickly, Ou Yihe commanded Tengxiang Cole to choose a large and low ground to arrange a fish scale array. The inside of the fish scales was grounded, and the flags and various firearms were arranged in the middle of the belly of the fish.
"Xiao Ming is victorious!" Although there were only 2,000 soldiers, the shouts were far louder than the enemy's roars and screams.
"You have to fight back! You have to dodge! Gaotou uses his armor to resist!" Zhou Yuji roared without fear.
"withdraw!"
On the seventh day, the Ming army's imperial guards and the Beijing army's expeditionary corps were gathering to look for the enemy's camp.
After all, Oba of the Zuoweibi tribe was a tough guy who had fought with Nurhaci. I gathered all the women from the tribe and said: "The grassland outside will always belong to Zuoweibi, but to the Ming Dynasty! Later, it was us.
It’s a surprise attack! You have nothing to fear in this official battle!”
That shocking information was immediately gathered to Tengxiang Cole.
We need to make a decision.
The special arrows like rain are hitting the heavy armor. A mere bone arrowhead is not even qualified to wear down the armor. How could Tengxiang Ouyi, who is heavily armored in the entire army, be shot to death by a heavy arrow from a hundred paces away?
?
"enemy!"
With the roars and flags waving, thin smoke rose from the Ming army's formation. The turning Mongolian cavalry exposed their huge sides to the muzzles of their guns.
"He led his bodyguard to protect Eunuch Wei for you! If anything happens, ask him!"
"Use your grassland tactics! The glory belongs to you on horseback!"
"Ho ho! Ho ho!"
In just one encounter, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry turned around and ran away. Now that they had retreated for a while, the casualties were even smaller.
"Fight or retreat?"
"Fight! Although you have many people, there is no way for infantry to fight against cavalry in the grassland. There is no way to fight!"
Sun Yingyuan smiled confidently and said: "Your Majesty asked you what you are pursuing in your heart... You found that the pursuit of fame depends not on money and status, but on courage and ability! Then let the Mongolian Tatars look at the Zajia family.
It’s up to you!”
Suddenly a trace of pride flashed in Sun Yingyuan's eyes: "Old Wei, I didn't want to be famous in my life, I just wanted to admit defeat! That time I also shrugged! Just let the boys at hand go report and ask for help, and you go with them."
"exist!"
A hail of white arrows flew up, visibly moving towards us.
"Fire the arrow!"
Just like Zhu Di's conquest of Mongolia, the deterrent effect of this battle was less than the actual results.
One by one, the Mongolian cavalry suddenly stumbled and fell on the horses' iron hooves while galloping. The killed and injured horses blocked the enemy in front from approaching, and the mounted shooting became more powerful. The Ming army knocked down the Mongolian horse archers one by one.
.
The Ming army calmly took aim with their blunderbuss and Folan cannon, keeping their movements and allowing heavy arrows to fall under them.
Various signs indicate that the enemy's old strongman and the cattle and sheep ran a long way, and probably just escaped a few dozen miles away.
