Chapter 1068 Decisive battle - Baiyiwei goes into battle
"Khan. What are you doing? You'd better rest." The guard looked worried.
"When this battle is over, I will take a break and give the generals the opportunity to pursue the defeated Ming army to see what they are capable of. Especially Shaharul. I will make him the king of the Khitans in the future and fight
It’s not enough if you’re not very capable.” Timur said.
"But." The guard hesitated to speak.
"Nothing but, help me back to the door of the carriage. I will continue to observe the movements of the Ming army and command the army to defeat this Ming army." Timur said decisively.
"Yes, Khan." The guard could only obey.
Timur's new movements were immediately noticed by Xu Huizu. He quickly issued several orders, but after issuing these orders, he still frowned and looked ahead.
Timur's movements were so unusual. Even if he was eager to win, he couldn't have failed to realize that this was a bait he had placed for him. Even if he wanted to bite him, he wouldn't have mobilized the entire army. Moreover, this was his own
It was an impromptu decision for which Timur could not have been prepared.
"Is Timur crazy? Is there another person commanding the Xilu now?" Xu Huizu said something that he didn't even believe. After thinking for a moment, he gave the order again: "Our troops are also pressing forward." Because he couldn't guess what he was saying.
Mu'er was worried that the troops sent out would suffer heavy losses, so he decided to move forward.
"Will the artillery team be rearranged?" someone asked.
Xu Huizu glanced at the Xilu cannon that had no intention of moving, and said: "The artillery team does not need to be rearranged." Although the artillery may need to support many places due to the vast battlefield, and some places cannot be supported by staying in one place, his primary purpose is to suppress
Xilu's cannons, as long as Xilu doesn't move, he will not move for the time being.
But he was still uneasy in his heart. When the Chinese army began to move forward in accordance with his order, he temporarily put aside his worries and paid attention to how the Xilu would deal with his trap.
"Fortunately, the method I prepared to defeat the Xilu was not based on this bait, otherwise I would have been even more panic-stricken at this time." Xu Huizu couldn't help but think.
…
…
"Great Khan, the Ming army has also moved." The guard beside Timur said to him.
"Got it." Timur agreed, turned his head and glanced at the Chinese army camp where Xu Huizu was, and immediately turned his head again to look at Lan Zhen's headquarters.
Although he believed that there was a 90% chance that Lan Zhen's troops were decoys, there was still a 10% chance that they were not decoys. He still harbored the hope of annihilating Lan Zhen's troops.
But the reaction of the Ming army immediately let him know that Lan Zhen's troops were the bait. He saw that Lan Zhen's troops, who were fighting fiercely with Jesbu's troops, completed their contraction at an extremely fast speed and put on a posture to deal with the cavalry.
formation; Quanning Guards also formally entered the battlefield to cooperate with the infantry. At the same time, the left army led by Zhang Fu also rushed forward to cooperate with Lan Zhen's troops.
Timur immediately ordered the armies to begin to change. The Xilu soldiers took advantage of their cavalry status and adopted flexible and changeable tactics, passing by different Ming army formations to find weaknesses.
Of course, the generals of each formation would not wait for Xu Huizu's order to change formations, not to mention that Xu Huizu had no time to command. They constantly adjusted their formations to make up for their weaknesses. However, the Xilu discovered weaknesses several times and launched attacks, and once they almost almost
It is necessary to break through the Ming army's formation.
Xu Huizu discovered Timur's intention at this time. The cavalry was faster than the infantry. Although most of the time they would not let the horses run, they would immediately launch an attack once they discovered a possible weakness.
Xu Huizu looked at this scene with erratic eyes. After a while, he loudly ordered: "Send the Baiyi Guards to fight."
"The Baiyi Guards? Xu Huizu, this." Zhu Shanglie knew that the Baiyi Guards were an important part of Xu Huizu's battle plan. Now that he was dispatching the Baiyi Guards, was he going to start implementing his plan to defeat the Xilu?
"I remember His Majesty said that plans don't change quickly. I originally wanted to let Lan Zhen attract Timur's attention so that I could defeat them. But I didn't expect that Timur would do this. Now I can only let Lan Zhen in advance.
The Baiyi Guards are dispatched." Xu Huizu said.
"But in this case, can the Baiyi Guards still fulfill what you told them?" Zhu Shanglie was still worried.
"Don't worry," although Xu Huizu himself was not too worried, he still comforted Zhu Shanglie and said: "The soldiers of Baiyi Guard will definitely be able to complete the goal."
"hope so."
…
…
"Your Majesty, the flag message came from the Chinese army camp and ordered our guards to dispatch and act according to the plan." Beibi Yuanxin saw the flag message and said to Zhu Hengshi.
"Don't call me Lord, call me Commander." Zhu Hengshi emphasized first, and then said: "Order the soldiers to move forward towards the central army where Timur is."
"Lord, commander, although the Ming army has many troops and horses on the battlefield, the situation is not favorable. If our army is dispatched at this time, it may be more disastrous than good."
"It's okay to be in danger, but if the entire army fails to complete what General Xu told him before, he will definitely die." Kusunoki Fangyuan said.
"This is General Xu's order. How can you not obey it? What's more, General Xu can't think of things you can think of?" Zhu Hengshi said to him immediately.
"But," "Nothing but!" Zhu Hengshi interrupted him: "Obeying orders is the most important thing in the army. Order the soldiers to take action immediately."
Nanmu Fangyuan did not dare to argue, but looking at his expression, you could tell that he was not convinced. While Zhu Hengshi asked Bei Biyuanxin to pass the order, he lowered his tone and said to him: "Fangyuan, you just came from China not long ago.
Know the inside story of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty is different from the country. All warriors in the country have a high status. Although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not low in status, they are still incomparable with the warriors in the country."
"Furthermore, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very strict with the army, especially when it came to obeying orders. Domestic warriors could oppose the orders of their superiors, but this was absolutely not allowed in the Ming Dynasty! Especially on the battlefield, the master of disobedience on the battlefield will directly execute you!
"
"Since the Ming Dynasty treated its warriors and soldiers like this, why do we still come to the Ming Dynasty to fight for their emperor?" Kusunoki Fangyuan asked in confusion.
"Why? Why a better life!" Zhu Hengshi said in a serious tone: "Fang Yuan, you are from the Kusunoki family. Both the Ashikaga clan and the Gen clan who are now seeking to usurp the throne have treated your family well. Not only do they have their own fiefdom,
In the imperial court, you can also receive state salary as an official."
"But most of the warriors live in poverty! Although they won't starve to death if they stay in the country, they just won't starve to death. But when you come to the Ming Dynasty to serve in the Ming Dynasty, you can see the treatment, including rice every time.
Having food and meat is already a paradise for most warriors. Not to mention that Ming Dynasty’s rewards for meritorious service are much more generous than those of the domestic court!”
"So I want to take them to the Ming Dynasty to fight for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." He finally said.
Fangyuan Kusunoki was silent. How could he not know what life was like for most samurai in the country? Especially the samurai in the Southern Dynasties were basically dying of poverty. Living in the Ming Dynasty was much better than at home. He had to accept it.
Zhu Hengshi’s words.
At this time, Beibi Yuanxin had finished conveying the order, and all the soldiers in the guard were ready and could be dispatched at any time. Zhu Hengshi walked to the middle of the soldiers and said to them in Fusang language: "Warriors, the enemies in front of us are not only
The enemy of the Ming Dynasty is also the enemy of Fuso. The ideal of the leader of Samarkand is to become another Temujin, the Mongol Khan who conquered many countries. Even if he conquers the Ming Dynasty, he will never be satisfied.
He will attack Fusang like Kublai Khan."
"Kublai Khan's two attacks on Fuso were both defeated by the divine wind because he did not pay attention to water warfare. However, Samarkand is a country that also attaches great importance to the sea and has a strong navy. After conquering the Ming Dynasty,
These naval forces will be transferred to the east to deal with Fusang."
"And the Westerners are different from the Mongols. The Mongols just want the people to surrender to them, while the Westerners not only want the people to surrender to them, but they also want the people to believe in their religion. Once Fusang is occupied by the Westerners, we will inherit it for two thousand years.
The culture will be completely destroyed!"
"So in order for Fuso not to be occupied and for the inherited culture not to be destroyed, we must defeat them here!"
"And during this period, the warriors in the Ming Dynasty have much better food, clothing, housing and transportation than at home. Even in order to repay the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, we must fight hard."
"Warriors, follow me and serve the country for seven lives!" Zhu Hengshi finally shouted.
"Seven lives to serve the country!" Everyone echoed.
"Advance troops!"
…
…
"What are they shouting?" Timur naturally noticed the unusual movement in this guardhouse immediately.
"Great Khan, what they are speaking is not the Khitan language, it should be the language of a country called Fusang on a string of islands to the east of the Khitan. What they shouted just now probably means being loyal to the king and fighting for the country." He said.
A translator next to him said hesitantly. He was a Chinese translator and he didn't know anything about Fusang dialect. The translation he just made was entirely his own guess.
However, Timur didn't notice that he was just guessing. It was normal to shout a few slogans like this before going into battle. Timur didn't take it seriously. When he saw the soldiers in the guard station slowly moving forward, they seemed to be walking straight.
He came towards him and said with a smile: "Is Xu Huizu going to use this guardhouse to defeat our army?"
The translator did not dare to speak. However, Timur was just talking to himself, and continued without waiting for the translator to speak: "This guardhouse must be used to attract my attention, and the real killing move has not yet been revealed.
."
"But Xu Huizu can assign such an important task to this single guard post, which must be difficult to deal with. He ordered Hamuli to lead his 10,000 cavalry to deal with this guard. If they dare to move forward under the threat of the cavalry,
Yes, destroy them: if they form a tight formation to guard against the cavalry, prevent them from moving forward."
