Chapter 243 The prince and Hu Bu begging for food on the street?

"Master!"

The sky was bright and hundreds of people were kneeling in front of Arutai.

They were in a sorry state, with wounds all over their faces and bodies. Their heads were lowered in shame and they did not dare to look at Arutai.

In front of these people, a beaten and battered corpse lay there.

The 16th generation grandson of the younger brother of Genghis Khan, a Maori boy, a young man who has just grown up, and one of the most valued young generals in Arutai. This guy, like Arutai in the future, will hold the little prince hostage and establish himself as a grand master, but he has not yet shown his full potential.

His own light and heat died in a sneak attack.

After lowering his head and looking at the body for a long time, Arutai waved his hand behind him, and several guards stepped forward and carried Maoli Boy's body down.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground in front of him, Arutai said calmly.

"We will launch an attack later. As the vanguard, you will wash away your shame with the blood of the enemy!"

"Yes, Taishi!"

No one dares to object, no one dares to refuse.

Nowadays, Arutai's prestige has surpassed that of the little Khan, and many herdsmen even only know the Grand Master but not the Khan.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The battle horn sounded again, and the two armies came out of camp and faced each other several miles apart.

The formation of the Ming army has changed.

The Shenji Battalion was not at the front, but on both wings of the army.

At the front was the Fifth Army Camp. Hundreds of light artillery were placed beside them. Yaoyao pointed towards the opposite side.

The summer sun shines on the artillery, and the steel body exudes a cold light.

The dark muzzle is like a ferocious beast from the prehistoric era, waiting to swallow up lives one by one at any time.

The Three Thousand Battalion is no longer on standby, but has moved forward. It is obvious that the old man is planning to get serious today.

The formation of the Tatar army on the opposite side has not changed much, but there are a few more things that are different from yesterday.

Zhu Zhangui saw those things clearly in the telescope.

It was a small four-wheeled vehicle with a heavy shield and thick wooden boards standing in front of it.

"Shield car?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Arutai's sense of war is really sensitive. In yesterday's battle alone, he developed something to deal with Daming musket shot.

In Zhu Zhangui's memory, it seems that Nurhaci in the future used a shield chariot to resist the Ming Dynasty's muskets.

Even if it is shot fired by artillery, as long as it is not fired directly in the face, this thing can block it.

If you want to destroy the shield vehicle, you must either use artillery to attack accurately, or directly attack and destroy the shield vehicle.

But then again.

The enemy uses a shield car just to engage in close combat. Wouldn't it be just what the enemy wants if he kills them?

"Your Majesty, have you seen those shield carriages?"

Zhu Zhangui picked up the walkie-talkie and reported the previous situation to the old man.

"I saw it. I have already informed the artillerymen at the Fifth Army Camp to replace it with live ammunition."

Zhu Zhangui breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of an old man who has been fighting all his life, he found a solution after just a few glances.

"Woo~"

The attack horn sounded first from the opposite side.

A Tatar soldier pushed a shield cart to cover the infantry in the rear and slowly advanced.

Arutai's cavalry regiment also moved out from both wings, ready to attack at any time.

The Ming army was not to be outdone. The front army remained stationary, and the Shenji battalions on the left and right flanks slowly moved forward to attack the enemy from the side.

"You little bastard, you don't take command of your Shenji Battalion, but you come here to take my job. Are you itchy and want to be beaten?"

Where the Three Thousand Battalion was on standby, Zhu Gaoxu glanced forward and saw the Shenji Battalion that had been deployed to fight the enemy. He turned back and stared at Zhu Zhangui, who was riding a horse beside him.

That's right, Zhu Zhangui changed positions again today.

After ambushing the Maoli children who made a sneak attack, the old man divided the 3,000 battalion into two parts and assigned them to Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhangui, allowing them to command the cavalry and fight against Arutai's cavalry.

"Second uncle, what are you talking about?"

"Don't think I am a grandson, but in fact I am just a brick. I will move it wherever it is needed!"

"Besides, the Shenji Battalion has its own commander. If I go up and intervene in the command, it will easily undermine the self-confidence of the generals under my command and make them feel that the court does not believe in their command ability."

Zhu Gaoxu's nose became angry when he heard this.

Good guy, you're afraid of undermining the self-confidence of your generals, so it doesn't matter to me as your second uncle, right?

"Humph, I don't care about you. You have to listen to me when it comes to me, otherwise don't blame me, my second uncle, for turning against you!"

"If you don't listen to me, it's a violation of military discipline. I'd rather give you a beating or behead you at any time."

"Haha, second uncle, have you forgotten that all the horses in your Three Thousand Battalion are mine, and I have half of the Three Thousand Battalion. Besides, I just asked me to assist you, why should I listen to you?"

Zhu Gaoxu glared, "What does it mean to be half as good as you? The old man gave me the horse. If you say it's yours, you can call it and it will agree!"

"I'm telling you, no matter whether they are men or horses in the Three Thousand Battalion, as long as I am in command for a day, they will all obey me. Please step aside."

Zhu Zhangui was waiting for this sentence and said provocatively: "Then let's try, do these horses listen to you or mine?"

"What if they listen to me?"

"puff!"

Zhu Gaoxu burst into laughter, pointed at the Arabian horse under his crotch, turned his back on Zhu Zhangui and said with a sneer.

"Come on, come on, my dear nephew, if you can make these horses listen to you, when you become the emperor in the future, I will be your minister honestly. Whoever dares to make trouble will be your grandson!"

"In the battle to come, each of us will lead one. No one will interfere with the other, and I will not disturb your command."

Zhu Zhangui's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked confused again.

"Second uncle, you are too hard on others. Besides, even if I can really do it, if you turn your back and refuse to admit it, who will I find?"

Zhu Gaoxu sneered and pointed at the general beside him.

"They can all testify!"

Then he shouted to the generals around him.

"Everyone, listen, if the emperor's grandson can make the horse obey, he will be the emperor in the future, and I will be an honest minister."

"If he can't do it, he will immediately return to his Shenji Camp. He will not interfere with the affairs of the Three Thousand Camp again, and he will promise to manage the Three Thousand Camp for me in the future!"

Zhu Zhangui looked at the proud Zhu Gaoxu and sneered in his heart.

Second uncle, you can’t blame me for this. You jumped into the pit yourself, and you dug it yourself.

The surrounding generals all smiled and nodded, as if they were only guarantors and did not participate in anything else.

If it had been the year Zhu Zhangui first came back, the generals of the Three Thousand Battalion would not have had a great impression of him and might have supported Zhu Gaoxu unconditionally.

But with Zhu Zhangui's performance in the past few years, coupled with his being appointed as the emperor's grandson, his terrifying ability to make money, and his generosity in giving everyone in the Three Thousand Battalion a new war horse.

The generals of the Three Thousand Battalions had a great change in their outlook on him.

Coupled with the participation of Qian Qianhu and others, the Three Thousand Battalion is no longer twisted into a rope like before.

Now the Three Thousand Battalion faction has been divided into three parts.

A group of people led by Qian Qianhu, who was transferred from the local government, maintained a good impression and trust in Zhu Zhangui.

Without violating the emperor's orders, they would choose to support Zhu Zhangui.

There are still some who remain neutral and just obey the emperor's orders anyway. They will obey whoever the emperor tells them to. Without the emperor's orders, they will obey whoever is the commander.

The other part supports Zhu Gaoxu.

These people had been hanging out with Zhu Gaoxu since the Jingnan period, and they had developed a deep comradeship.

In addition, they looked down upon the prince's performance and the old man's attitude towards Zhu Gaoxu, which made them choose to support Zhu Gaoxu.

But Zhu Zhangui came from behind and surprised them, forcing them to re-examine the emperor's grandson.

A series of events that followed and Zhu Zhangui's perfect performance made them feel a little closer to Zhu Zhangui.

But over the years, their relationship with Zhu Gaoxu could not be abandoned on the spot even if they abandoned it.

Therefore, many people have made up their minds secretly.

If Zhu Zhangui becomes emperor in the future and His Highness the King of Han wants to rebel, they will try to persuade him. But if they can't persuade him, they will capture His Highness the King of Han and send him to Zhu Zhangui.

Poor Lord Han.

I'm afraid he never dreamed that the general he thought was loyal to him would already have the idea of ​​using him as a token of surrender.
