Chapter 120 Not strong enough

Zhu Xiongying's flag is fluttering in the wind, and Zhu Xiongying, with his golden armor and silver spear, gallops on his horse, looking like a young hero!

Looking at the yurt in the distance, the beautiful scene of wind-blown grass and cows and sheep was about to be shattered. Because Zhu Xiongying just raised his hand, the soldiers under his hands were already gearing up, ready to start a crusade against Buchen.

Singing and dancing no longer existed, and now only the fear of this small tribe remained. Seeing the Ming cavalry suddenly galloping towards them, these grassland tribes did not even dare to resist too much. The main reason was that the difference in strength was too big.

Can surrender.

Zhu Xiongying, who was somewhat unmotivated, sat on horseback, looked at the young women and children, and shook his head.

This is the characteristic of some nomadic peoples. The living environment is harsh and the strong eat the weak. They have become accustomed to being conquered, or to conquer. If they can be beaten, they are the most ferocious wolves, which can be said to be inhumane. But if they cannot be beaten, they are the most ferocious wolves.

Just kneel down and surrender, and you can survive according to their rules.

Glancing back, Zhu Xiongying said to Feng Sheng, "Register and organize women and children into military households, and give me, Huang Ming, to raise horses well. Bring all the young and strong back to see where they are distributed!"

"

As Zhu Xiongying's brother-in-law, Feng Sheng immediately nodded and accepted the order, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xiongying led a large army to continue to search for some small tribes. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has become stronger, coupled with the internal fighting among the nomads, this has also allowed Zhu Xiongying to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and bully the weak.

Song Zhong's Jin Yiwei or some 'emperor merchants' also brought some good news and inquired about the situation of many Mongolian tribes. This also made Zhu Xiongying not need to lead troops to rush around like headless flies, but he could still be targeted.

attack.

All the population was taken back, and supplies such as cattle, sheep, and horses were naturally indispensable. These were very important trophies.

Just when Zhu Xiongying was satisfied with his ambition, a spy horse came to report, "Your Highness, the puppet Yuan Dynasty Khan Boljijin Elbek sent a large army to attack!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but laugh. This Boljijin Elbek is the current Great Khan, and his name is Nikuchi Sukqi Khan. His identity is also quite special. Back then, Lan Yu was fishing in the sea.

The victory resulted in the death of Elbek's father and eldest brother Tianbaonu, who was captured by the Ming Dynasty and is now a savage in Ryukyu.

This Elbek succeeded to the throne of Khan, and his status is quite special. Zhu Xiongying is not clear about it now.

Zhu Xiongying nodded and then asked, "Oh? Which one is the army?"

Tan Ma replied, "It seems to be the Walatro Ross tribe!"

Li Jinglong immediately said at this time, "Your Highness, Haohai Dayu, the lord of the Navarathro tribe, is treacherous and a sycophant!"

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said with a smile, "If a sycophant is not a sycophant, he has nothing to do with our Ming Dynasty. It is a good thing that this person is a sycophant. I have heard that Elbek is stupid and unkind, so it is better to let them continue the civil strife."

Even though he said that, Zhu Xiongying still ordered, "With this order, all the ministries must assemble and not come into contact with the puppet Yuan army."

Zhu Xiongying naturally knows that the current strength of the Mongolian tribes is average, and they are no longer the Mongolian cavalry that dominates the world. But Zhu Xiongying is still quite afraid of the strength of these people. As long as they are given some time, the people on horseback will always be

Ming Dynasty’s border troubles.

Zhu Xiongying did not want the border patrol he led to turn out to be a defeat. The Ming Dynasty had not lost a battle for several years, so Zhu Xiongying naturally did not want it to be his fault.

What's more, there are the imperial uncles. Once these imperial uncles make a mistake, Zhu Xiongying will not need to lose his life. However, such things can be avoided if possible. He does not want Lao Zhu to be sad, let alone the Mongolian tribes.

Build momentum.

Becoming the invincible Ming Dynasty made some surrounding tribes and countries naturally fear the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xiongying felt that such a thing was possible.

Fu Youde also stepped forward at this time. Although he knew that the current Emperor Taisun focused on training Xu Yungong and others, Fu Youde was relatively confident in his own position. He could definitely be regarded as the number one general under the Emperor Taisun.

Instead of giving random orders, Zhu Xiongying just sat in charge of the central army, watching Fu Youde commanding and dispatching, and watching the Ming Dynasty's army quickly assemble and prepare for battle.

Fu Youde also became excited. In the early years of Hongwu, he followed Xu Da and marched north. When Taiyuan Yuan Shou General Wang Baobao led ten thousand cavalry to rush to the rescue, he led an attack with fifty cavalry, and then attacked at night and defeated Wang Baobao.

After being beaten and escaping in a hurry, Fu Youde made countless gains!

Zhu Xiongying just looked at Zhu Xiongying, who was standing under the commander's banner, holding the scabbard of his sword with his eyes calm. Behind him were his imperial uncles, all of whom were accompanying Zhu Xiongying to supervise the battle at the moment.

Li Jinglong waved his hand, and the gunners from the Shenji Battalion began to line up. The first row squatted, the second row stood up, and the third row was already filling ammunition. At this time, several small bronze cannons were pushed out, with muzzles

Aiming at the Mongolian cavalry who had begun to line up and prepare to charge.

This is an 'encounter'. It is obvious that Beiyuan has also been forced into a desperate situation. Mainly because they have been driven to the wild land in recent years. Their livelihood was already difficult, and various tribes are also constantly fighting in melee. But now it is better, the Ming Dynasty

The emperor's grandson would harass and plunder the border from time to time, which was no longer possible.

In the eyes of these nomads, they went south to plunder when their lives were unsatisfactory. When did the southerners come to rob them, heroes on horseback?!

'Bang'

'Bang'

'Bang'

The sound of artillery sounded, which made Zhu Xiongying not very satisfied. The caliber of these field cannons was average. The most important thing was that these artillery shells were basically solid shells, and their killing effect was relatively average.

This makes Zhu Xiongying not very satisfied. He has attached great importance to firearms over the years, trained many craftsmen, and invested a lot of resources. However, Zhu Xiongying is not very satisfied with the progress of firearms research and development.

Not to mention hand grenades, even blunderbuss cannot be used as a matchlock gun, which made Zhu Xiongying a little depressed.

The war horses of the Ming Dynasty seemed to have undergone some training, and they were relatively calm in the face of the sound of cannons. The war horses of the Mongolian tribe, although they had also undergone a lot of training, were just a little panicked.

At the same time as the volley of bows and arrows was fired, the first row of muskets fired, followed immediately by the second row, and the third row of musketrymen also fired immediately.

That's it, this is the three-blade axe. The current bird gun has such an effect. Not only the range is relatively short, but the reloading is also relatively slow. Basically, it only needs one round of firing, but the effect is still very good.

Many of the galloping Mongolian knights flipped over on their backs.

Seeing that the momentum of the Mongolian cavalry's attack had stalled, Zhu Xiongying was quite satisfied. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had fought many battles, also had a tacit understanding at this time. When the gunmen retreated, the infantry began to take action.

Setting up shields and pointing their spears slantingly, these infantrymen were fully determined to withstand the impact of cavalry. This was also some of the tactics of the past dynasties. It is indeed a natural disadvantage for infantry to fight cavalry, but many times they have such

Some thoughts.

The Ming cavalry on both wings are still recharging their strength. They need to wait a little longer and attack at the critical moment to reverse the situation and secure victory. After all, in this era, cavalry is king, and the Ming cavalry is extremely precious.

Zhu Xiongying laughed, turned around and said, "Second uncle, those Tatars still use bronze arrows and stone arrows. I guess there is a shortage of supplies on the grassland. These people's livelihood is difficult."

Zhu Xi also laughed at this time and was quite proud, "My father and brother are wise and wise, but these Tatars have no skills. They retreated to the grassland and even broke their iron tools. Nowadays, tea, needlework and needlework all depend on me, the Ming Dynasty.

Talk about ironware!"

The Mongolian tribe, which has no iron pot, is now severely degraded. It is very difficult for the Mongolian tribe to become the Mongolian cavalry that travels across the Asian continent. This is also very unrealistic.

When these Mongolians had no weapons at hand, even if they had superb riding skills, they would soon fall into a disadvantage.

When the cavalry on both wings rushed out, the Mongolian tribes collapsed. The Mongol cavalry in the past were no longer charging. These people were now fleeing, trying to escape.

Zhu Xiongying was a little unmotivated. When these Mongolians began to flee, Zhu Xiongying was really helpless. It was really not an easy task to catch these cavalry with superb riding skills. Zhu Xiongying

The heroes could only watch helplessly as these young nomads fled.

Zhu Xiongying felt extremely distressed because he had lost a large number of labor force. If the situation were rounded off, the pressure on building bridges and paving roads would be reduced, and there would be a large number of hardworking miners at the silver mine.

It's a pity that although Zhu Xiongying felt very sorry, he didn't say anything more and didn't think about arresting those people. He knew that this matter was not very realistic.

"These people are quite smart. They are just here to test our Ming Dynasty's military strength." Zhu Ping was quite proud and said with a smile, "Nephew, do you want to send your troops north? Let's also go straight to Huanglong and seal the wolf in Xu?!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and shook his head, and said to Zhu Xi, "Second uncle, don't be joking. I think the emperor will issue an order soon, ordering me to wait for my master to return to the court."

Zhu Xiang also laughed. He felt that there must be nothing wrong with what Zhu Xiongying said. It was okay to make a small fuss, but if Zhu Xiongying really led an expedition, they knew that this was impossible. They knew that the emperor was

It won't be allowed.

This can't be called a war at all, but Zhu Xiongying can be considered a little contented. He has been to the battlefield after all, and he has commanded a battle.

Although it was an easy victory, Zhu Xiongying was not particularly satisfied with such a battle. The Ming Dynasty showed its power, but Zhu Xiongying also saw many shortcomings. The Ming Dynasty still needs to be more powerful!
