The Ming army and the Chagatai Khanate's army fought vigorously at their first stop in Turpan. Prince Batur of the Chagatai Khanate in Verumu, as the commander-in-chief of the eastern front of the Chagatai Khanate, was looking sad.
Looking at the Di newspaper that came in a hurry.
This is a tall, rugged man with a full beard. It must be quite hot in the summer.
Prince Batur slapped the table angrily: "I can't defend it. I can't defend it. Just after the battle, they told me one by one that I couldn't defend it. You guys are as timid as mice. They were frightened out of their courage by the Ming army. Nearly half of them
All our weapons and equipment are in Verumu and Turpan, why can't we hold on and send him a message again, asking him to delay it until winter no matter what, so as not to ruin the Great Khan's event."
His mission was not to defeat the Ming army but to delay the Ming army, because they knew that this time the Ming army was still fighting the Mongols on the northern front. Although the Ming army was powerful, the Mongolian grasslands were vast. As long as they kept delaying the Ming army, they would be wasting national power.
, they may even take advantage of it.
Who wouldn’t want the Central Plains, which has been in panic for thousands of years?
Prince Batur picked up the golden cup and drank the wine, pacing back and forth, looking at the battle report with his eagle-like eyes, tearing it to pieces.
"Come here, prepare your horses. I will go to Turpan myself to direct the battle. These cowardly guys cry for their parents when they see the Ming army's artillery. If I don't go, they will abandon the city tomorrow."
"His Royal Highness Prince Baltu, please don't do it. It's too dangerous for your rich body to go to Turpan."
Facing the civil servant's dissuasion, Baltu put his big hand on his shoulder and twisted it slightly. The shoulder shattered and the servant fell to the ground and wailed.
"Don't question my decision."
In addition to being the prince of the Chagatai Khanate, Baltu is also the first warrior of the Chagatai Khanate and the most brutal person.
…
The sun rose the next day, and as soon as there was a faint light, the Ming army launched an attack. They still relied on tanks and drove straight in.
The Turpan team, which had poor morale, was beaten and retreated.
When the Ming army descended two highlands again, the Turpan army had been beaten to the point of losing its armor. If it were not for the consideration of the users of the tanks, the tanks stopped after being used to a certain extent. Now they would not be able to fight for a long time.
.
Otherwise, the front line can still press forward.
The current tactics of the Ming army are to advance little by little. Zhu Gaoxu was very happy after the victory today. He shouted in the camp: "Okay, okay, let's fight like this. After fighting like this, I can hit Turpan in a few days."
They have deployed so many fortifications outside the city, and now they all belong to us."
"Don't take it lightly." Zhu Gaoxu didn't need to be reminded by others. He was happy for a while and then thought of it himself. This is the old general's consciousness. You don't have to worry about him being swayed by his emotions. Although he is happy after winning the battle, he will not get carried away.
"Now our army is in a strong situation, and the enemy is no match for us in a head-on battle. Now we must strictly prevent the enemy from launching surprise attacks, ensure the routes for supplying troops with grain, grass, and baggage, and we must also strengthen patrols at night."
"Where is Yu Qian? Where is Yu Qian?"
The camp tent was opened and Yu Qian ran in: "Prince Han, I was just watching the soldiers deploy the mine array, and I came late."
"How's the layout?"
"The new landmines are really powerful and can ensure that the invading enemy troops will never come back, but our soldiers must be careful not to walk into the minefield."
"Well, please go ahead and tell me."
Landmines originally originated in China and were used in the 13th century. They are called Zhentian Lei, also known as Iron Fire Thunder.
There were originally mines in the Shenji Camp of the Yongle Dynasty. Of course, the name was called the Invincible Mine Cannon, which was very consistent with the nomenclature of this generation. The craftsmen of Guangzhou Prefecture transformed it and now put it into the battlefield. According to Zhu Zhanzhen's tactics,
The mines were to be laid out as minefields, and they discussed several distribution methods.
What Yu Qian and the others arranged just now was to protect their food, grass, baggage and other items.
These are the first places to fight in battles, because they are fighting out of the city. Once the enemy's food, grass and other supplies are attacked and burned, they will have nothing to eat and they will not be able to last long, so they must be heavily guarded.
"The mine array is a good thing. It is virtual and real. If you make good use of it, the enemy will not dare to approach it." Zhu Gaoxu also spoke highly of the mines.
…
In the city of Turpan, Prince Baotur, who came overnight, saw how badly he was beaten by the Ming army that day. He glared angrily for a while, so no one dared to speak. Everyone knew that this murderous prince did not hesitate to do anything.
Love, one look at discord can lead to murder.
"Trash, everything is trash. The Ming army is so frightened by you that it doesn't even dare to fight a single battle."
Bang
A powerful and heavy punch knocked the table in front of him into pieces, and he roared in anger, while the others trembled and did not dare to say a word.
"With so many artillery pieces and muskets, the Ming army has already reached the city walls in just two days. You are all trash. If I were you, I would commit suicide and apologize."
At this time, Turpan's general stood up and defended himself: "Your Highness Prince Batur, the artillery, muskets and other new firearms owned by the Ming army are far superior to our army, and there is even a kind of artillery called a tank.
The chariot can run without being pulled by horses, and it can also attack like artillery. We have been suffering from this guy during this time."
Batur walked up to him, his huge body giving people an endless sense of oppression, and he just felt that his death was coming.
But Batur did not attack him but said: "A car that can run without being pulled by a horse? It can also attack like an artillery piece. Do you think I am a child? You made up such a lie to deceive me."
"Your Highness is true." Others replied in a low voice.
"Can they still do sorcery?"
At this time, an attendant whispered something into Prince Batur's ear. Prince Batur smiled ferociously and said: "There is news from the Tatars. They will send troops from the north to attack Jiayuguan. As long as Turpan City is defended, Jiayuguan will be defeated soon."
No matter how powerful the weapons of the Ming army are, they have to surrender. I want to see what your so-called tanks that can run without being pulled by horses and can attack like artillery are really."
The Tatars in the north faced the Ming Army's Northern Expedition and were defeated across the board. Moreover, the Ming Army was determined to fight to the end, and they did not even give in to their request for peace.
The Tatars, desperate to jump over the wall, had to find a way to contact Verumu. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. They wanted to open the war from here. This was also one of Prince Batur's tactics. He asked the Tatars for reinforcements. In order to be able to
If they have a chance to defeat the Ming army, they will definitely send troops to assist them. This is also an opportunity for them.
The Ming army was in Turpan and there must be defenders at Jiayuguan, but he felt that these defenders would definitely not be able to stop the coalition forces of the Tatars and Chagatai Khanate.
He pinned his hopes on being able to break through Jiayuguan and prompt the Ming army to return to defense.
Prince Batur told the news to the Turpan garrison to boost their morale and then said: "No matter what, guard Turpan. This is the bottom line. The Black Snake Cavalry will arrive in Turpan City in two days. When they arrive, I will personally lead them."
The team made a surprise attack on the Ming army's base camp and killed them all without leaving any trace."
"Black Snake Cavalry Guard!" Everyone was talking about it.
Because this cavalry guard is known as the strongest guard in the Chagatai Khanate, each cavalry guard is equipped with the strongest equipment and has firearms, and it is rumored that among them is Prince Batur's own daughter, known as the Black Snake.
