After Zhu Yuanzhang and his troops arrived, they quickly received reports from the scouts.
"Marshal Du, the Tartar cavalry appeared in front, and the main force of the enemy army has also arrived!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Zixing and others were all excited when they heard this.
The Mongols have finally arrived, and they will take the stage next.
"Everyone, I leave it to you to lure the enemy!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with his hands raised.
"Don't worry, Marshal Du. When we lure the Tartars over, we will kill them all without leaving a single piece of armor behind!"
Guo Zixing and others said very proudly.
Immediately, the rebel troops divided into two groups and prepared to meet the enemy.
In front of them, Yuan Ting's Haozhou Daru Hua Chi Timur was leading 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, as well as the Haozhou defeated troops gathered along the way, and other prefecture and county soldiers and horses, a total of more than 10,000 people heading forward.
.
"Marshal, the Haozhou bandits are forming in front!"
Not long after entering the territory of Haozhou, Timur was rewarded with a horse inspection.
Timur burst out laughing.
"Haha, these traitors are not afraid of death. If they don't just wait for death in Haozhou, they dare to run so far!"
The two Han generals on the side immediately spoke.
"Marshal, when the thieves leave the city to fight, Haozhou will definitely be empty. Why don't we divide our troops into two groups, go all the way to hold them back, and make a surprise attack on Haozhou City along the way!" said a Han general.
"Xu Cunhou, you are looking down on me! They are just rebelling against thieves, so why do you need to divide your troops and attack them by surprise? All you need is a large army to attack them and crush them to death!" Timur said with great disdain.
He came from a famous Tartar family and always thought of himself very highly.
I already looked down on the Han people, let alone the red scarf soldiers who came from mud-legged backgrounds.
When the general Xu Cunhou heard this, he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Another general said: "Marshal, the bandit army has set up a formation in the sandy plain. Behind it is a large weedy desert beach. I'm afraid there are ambushes hiding. It's better to send people to go around and investigate first, and then take action!"
For this famous general, Daruhuachi Timur was even more disdainful.
"Mabao, you are so capable, how come you lost Haozhou City and now you dare to command me to use troops?" Timur snorted coldly.
It turned out that this person was the Haozhou deputy general Ma Bao who killed the prefect Luo Wenqing in Haozhou and escaped.
He led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to flee, met Timur's army, was taken under his command, and fought back to Haozhou.
Ma Bao was scolded and did not dare to speak anymore.
Timur arrogantly ordered the entire army to advance rapidly.
"They are just thieves, but I, the Mongol warrior, are not afraid of them. I defeated them in half an hour, and rushed to Haozhou to seize the city in two hours. Before dark, I will hang the head of the red scarf thief Zhu Chongba on the tower of Haozhou.
!”
Immediately, the army rapidly advanced along the official road.
The speed of Timur's troops marched far beyond the expectations of Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others.
Looking at the menacing Tartar army, all the rebels felt nervous.
Xu Da led two hundred cavalry and appeared at the center of the army under the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang, which immediately attracted Timur's attention.
"Kill me!"
Timur gave an order, and 10,000 Tartar troops roared out.
In just one round, Guo Zixing and the others were already unable to resist.
Seeing this, Xu Da quickly sounded the golden gong to retreat.
"Failed!"
"Run quickly!"
The tens of thousands of rebels did not know whether they were truly defeated or a well-acted fake defeat.
In short, Hulala collapsed across the board.
"Hahaha, you're just a thieves, they're vulnerable!"
"Follow me!"
Timur laughed proudly and led the Mongolian cavalry to charge.
The Tartar soldiers and horses pursued them all the way and soon entered the sandy plain.
Looking at the rebels fleeing in all directions, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was hiding on both sides, was also a little worried.
How come these rebels don't seem to be faking defeat, but are really fucking defeated?
"Qiwu, this isn't quite right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Brother, it's too late to take care of Guo Zixing and the others, the Tartars have already come to kill them!"
Zhu Han stretched out his hand and pointed.
Sure enough, a Tartar general's flag appeared on the official road.
These Tartar cavalry began to pursue the defeated rebel army unscrupulously, without any formation at all.
When they all entered the sand plain ambush circle, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the fighter plane had arrived.
He immediately shouted loudly, followed by a burst of thunder and drums.
Three thousand Dragon Xingyi troops roared out from both sides!
"kill!"
"Kill the Tartars!"
The three thousand Longxing Rebel Army were full of fighting spirit and well-equipped. They killed the Tartar pursuers in an instant and panicked them.
Long Xingyi's army was overwhelmingly powerful, and the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry they killed were unprepared. As soon as they engaged in battle, they were beaten into chaos.
The battle situation is strong and weak, changing in an instant.
Guo Zixing and other rebels had just retreated hastily. Seeing this situation, their morale immediately improved.
"Brothers, fight back with me!"
"Kill!"
Guo Zixing and others' blood also surged, and they roared and turned around to fight back.
At this moment.
Behind the pursuers of the Tartars, another raging fire broke out, and patches of withered grass and reeds were set ablaze by the ambush arranged by Zhu Han.
These fires not only cut off the retreat of the Tartar soldiers and horses, but also gave them the illusion that their rear was surrounded by a surprise attack by the rebels.
In just a moment, the originally arrogant Daruhuachi Timur panicked.
After blowing the horn twice in succession, the attempt to regroup the army failed.
Timur knew that the situation was over and he had no chance of winning.
"Zhu Chongba, you are a traitor, you don't follow martial ethics and you carry out a sneak attack!"
Timur cursed at the messy battlefield.
Countless Tartar soldiers were being massacred by the rebels, and Timur was frightened and distressed when he saw them.
This is the foundation for him to settle down and live his life!
"Marshal, run away!"
"Marshal, run this way quickly. In front of you is the Baigou River. As long as you swim across it, the thieves will not be able to catch up!"
Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao, two generals of the Han army, pulled Timur to the left and right and ran to one side.
Just when Timur was hesitating.
suddenly.
Whoosh!
A feather arrow actually hit the throat of a Mongolian guard next to Timur, and he instantly fell to the ground waiting for death.
"Run away!"
Timur was immediately scared to death and didn't dare to delay any longer.
With the support of Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao, Timur led several personal guards and quickly passed through a reed swamp, with the Baigou River behind him.
To their great surprise, they found a small boat by the river.
As long as they get on the ferry and escape to the other side of the Baigou River, the grass thieves behind them will no longer threaten them.
but.
In just an instant, a large group of Meng Yuan soldiers fled to the river with them.
These people also saw the ferry and went crazy to fight for it.
"No! The boat is about to be robbed!" Xu Cunhou shouted anxiously.
"Go grab the boat!"
Timur shouted anxiously.
Behind them, there are thousands of Mongolian and Yuan army soldiers who are fleeing here, and behind them are the Red Turban Army who are fiercely pursuing them!
