The Tianzhu soldiers were already frightened by the ferocious Ming army. Now that they saw their commander escaping, their morale immediately collapsed. The army dispersed and all fled for their lives. Yang Xin led his warriors to pursue and kill for a while, broke down a fortress of the Tianzhu army, set it on fire, and then returned to the city.
The battle came to an end, and the noisy sounds of fighting fell silent. The wilderness was littered with corpses and rivers of blood, which looked extremely miserable under the reflection of the flames. The Tianzhu people attacked fiercely for a day, not to mention gaining nothing and suffering heavy losses. However, although the Tianzhu people's losses were heavy, they were nothing compared to their huge military strength. Gangtok was still in a precarious situation. Although the Ming Army won beautifully in today's battle, if they make even the slightest mistake in the subsequent war, the consequences will be disastrous! The gap in the strength of the two sides is close to a hundred times, and there is no room for even a slight mistake!
The focus turned to the Loza area. After Moise's attempt to break out failed, morale was gone, and everyone was trapped in the mountain camp waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Three days have passed, four days have passed, six days have passed, ten days have passed, but there is still no sign of reinforcements in the southern wilderness, and the army's food reserves are only enough for one day. In fact, the stock in the military camp was only enough for five days. It was because Moise tried every means to compress it that he lasted until this time.
In a place in the camp, screams for mercy could be heard. It turned out that the hungry Tianzhu people were slaughtering the hundreds of lamas they had captured earlier. The scene was dripping with blood, and the white flesh and bones were shocking. At this moment, in the eyes of the Tianzhu people, those lamas were no longer human beings, but delicious cattle and sheep! Soon after, the smell of meat reverberated in the military camp. The Tianzhu soldiers fought for a piece of cooked meat and got into a mess, even throwing fists at each other!
After the chaos, calm returned to the military camp.
As night falls, the military camp is as silent as a tomb. Occasionally, bursts of crying can be heard in the cold wind, like the voice of ghosts, which makes people shudder.
Another day passed. A general rushed to Moise and reported feebly: "Generalissimo, we have run out of food!"
Moise frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the reinforcements? Have they not arrived yet?"
The general shook his head, "I didn't see any sign of reinforcements arriving!"
Moise frowned and said: "We have to continue to persist, maybe reinforcements will arrive in the next moment!"
The Tianzhu people barely managed to hold on for another day. With nothing to eat, the Tianzhu people began to attack each other, trying to kill each other and use each other's flesh and blood to extend their own lives. At this time, the fig leaf of civilization no longer existed, and military order had also disappeared. The entire military camp was in chaos. The injured were killed and eaten by the uninjured, and the weak were slaughtered like cattle and sheep by the strong. The entire military camp was dripping with blood and piled with corpses, it was like a hell on earth!
But Moise is still hoping that reinforcements will arrive. In the hazy moment, I saw soldiers and horses coming up from the bottom of the mountain. Moise showed surprise and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Our reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!" The chaotic military camp gradually became quiet, and people rushed to the side of the mountain to look down the mountain. I saw that there was indeed an army coming up the mountain in the cold wind and mist. The Tianzhu soldiers were overjoyed and cheered one after another. The military camp, which had been lifeless for many days, finally regained some vitality. Some people ran towards the army down the mountain, shouting and feeling extremely excited. Everyone feels that the nightmare days are finally over!
Tianzhu’s reinforcements have arrived! Did Yang Xin fail in Gangtok?
The army was approaching, and at this time most of the fog on the mountain had been blown away by the cold wind. The soldiers of Tianzhu saw clearly who was coming. They were wearing black clothes and armor, and they were fierce and powerful. The battle flags were flapping in the wind, and there was a big word "明" on it!
The Tianzhu people who were originally overjoyed turned out to be the Ming Army. They all changed their colors with horror, as if deer and sheep suddenly saw tigers and wolves, and turned around in panic to run for their lives. There were loud screams, and the entire Tianzhu military camp seemed to explode.
Yang Dezheng estimated that the Tianzhu people had exhausted their food and grass at this time and were so weak that they would not have much fighting power left, so Yang Dezheng led his army to sweep them away at this time. However, Yang Dezheng did not expect to see such a scene. He had not launched an attack at all, and the enemy army had completely collapsed! The remaining thing is not how to attack, but how to capture these 'deer and sheep' running around. Yang Dezheng issued an order, ordering his soldiers to divide into ten teams and enter various mountain roads, slowly closing in on the Tianzhu military camp in the middle. The scattered Tianzhu people were gathered in the military camp like driven animals, with the Ming army surrounding them.
Yang Dezheng glanced at the extremely frightened Tianzhu soldiers in front of him, and said loudly: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" He spoke in Tianzhu dialect. All Yanyun soldiers also shouted: "I will not kill those who surrender!..."
How could the Tianzhu people dare to resist? As soon as they heard that the surrender would not be killed, they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Moise and tens of thousands of troops under his command were escorted down the mountain. Moise was very depressed and angry at the same time. What makes him depressed is that as the general marshal of Tianzhu, he actually became a prisoner. What makes him angry is that he persisted for so many days, but the reinforcements never showed up. He felt that he had been betrayed!
In fact, Moise mistakenly blamed the reinforcements. The reinforcements have actually tried their best. At this moment, they are still desperately attacking Gangtok! However, no matter how many sheep there are and how hard they work, they cannot be the opponents of tigers and wolves. Although the Ming army guarding Gangtok is small in number, it is far more brave than the Tianzhu army. Although the waves of Tianzhu people are magnificent, each wave after another is magnificent. Every time, they were smashed into pieces at the head of the city, unable to make a breakthrough! After so many days, the Tianzhu reinforcements only sacrificed tens of thousands of lives.
It was getting late, and the Tianzhu army's day-long offensive was in vain. After so many days of offensive, the Tianzhu reinforcements suffered heavy losses but gained nothing, and their morale has inevitably declined.
The reinforcements from Tianzhu continued their fierce attack for several days, but the offensive was no longer as good as before, and the results were naturally even worse than before. The Tianzhu soldiers no longer had much hope that they could capture Gangtok.
At dusk that day, the Tianzhu army was resting. Suddenly the sound of drums shook the sky and the shouts shook the earth. The Tianzhu soldiers who had fallen asleep were awakened. Then he was shocked to see that the military camp was filled with flames, and countless Ming troops had rushed into the military camp from all directions! The Tianzhu people had no intention of fighting and fled for their lives. Overnight, the Tianzhu army retreated for dozens of miles in one breath!
Ha Yingde calmed down and prepared to collect the defeated soldiers. At this moment, the alarm from the front came again, and the Ming army was chasing after them. Hayingde was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else and ran for his life in a hurry again. This time, Hayingde fled to the Brahmaputra River in Tianzhu in one breath! Soon after, the defeated army fled one after another! While there was chaos, there were loud screams from the north bank, and the Ming army had arrived! The Tianzhu army, which had become a frightened bird, panicked and ran around! The Ming army actually crossed the Brahmaputra River without encountering any resistance, and immediately occupied the huge fortress built in Tianzhu on the south bank, and captured tens of thousands of enemy troops and mountains of luggage.
The alarm spread to the capital, and the government and the public were shaken. The emperor and his ministers of Tianzhu were in chaos in the court hall. Marshal Prusha, who had been clamoring to use war to solve the Ming Dynasty, also lost his temper. Like everyone else, he looked panicked.
At this moment, another alarm came. The Kshatriya army was defeated in Dali and had lost Tengchong Mansion. The remaining defeated generals were now fleeing back to the country. This warning was like a bolt from the blue, causing the emperor and ministers of Tianzhu to be stunned and dizzy.
"How, how is it possible? The Kshatriyas have approached a million-strong army, how is it possible, how can they be defeated by the Ming army of over 300,000 people?!" A nobleman shouted hysterically.
Ajia'er frowned and said: "In Tubo, the Ming army only had tens of thousands of people, and our army of nearly 200,000 was several times that of the other party. Wasn't it also a very painful defeat? Everyone, we should face reality! We The Ming army we face is absolutely terrifying beyond imagination! One of them can deal with several of us or even more, so although our strength is several times that of theirs, we can only end up with a disastrous defeat!"
Everyone frowned and felt flustered. Although they were very reluctant to admit what Ajia'er said, the continuous facts in front of them forced them to admit it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel extremely fearful. A middle-aged and fat nobleman said in fear: "What if, what if the Ming army attacks us directly in Delhi?" Delhi is the capital of Tianzhu, which is now the capital of Tianzhu. Near New Delhi, the capital of India, the reason why the capital of India in modern society is called New Delhi is relative to Delhi. In fact, in modern society, New Delhi and Old Delhi have been integrated into one, and it is difficult to talk about them separately. Therefore, the capital of India can be said to be the capital of a thousand years.
When everyone heard the nobleman's words, they couldn't help but become frightened and worried, talking among themselves, and it was noisy. A stooped old nobleman on crutches said anxiously to the emperor: "Your Majesty, should we move the capital to the south quickly?" Everyone agreed, and the emperor couldn't help but be tempted.
The emperor and his ministers of Tianzhu were frightened and panicked, and their previous aura of arrogance over the world was nowhere to be seen.
Ajiar said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the situation on the Kshatriya side is still uncertain. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we thought."
The emperor nodded, looked at the officer who came to report the news, and asked urgently: "What is the situation in Dali? What is the loss of the Kshatriya army?"
The officer immediately described the situation.
Not long ago, half a million reinforcements sent by the emperor arrived in the Tengchong area and joined the Eastern Legion under the Kshatriyas, preparing to launch an attack on the core area of Dali controlled by the Ming army. However, the Kshatriyas, who had fought against the Ming army many times, were well aware of the power of the Ming army, so they did not dare to act rashly. Instead, they first defended various passes with heavy troops, and then adopted the tactics of overall advancement, and the millions of troops left One road leads directly to Dali City. This tactic may seem clumsy, but in fact it is based on the principle of concentrating troops to attack a single point. It is always used when the troops are far less than the opponent. Like the Tianzhu people, who have several times the opponent's troops and use this tactic is unique.
The army of one million people advanced as a whole, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling unstoppably. All Tianzhu soldiers were full of confidence in the outcome of this war. However, those Dali people who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty not long ago were extremely frightened when they heard that millions of Tianzhu troops were coming to kill them. Some of them packed their bags and fled, and their hearts rose. There are also people who have other thoughts.
However, the situation on the battlefield soon changed suddenly. The 300,000-strong army led by Shi Liancheng and the million-strong Tianzhu army fought fiercely on the banks of the Lancang River. The soldiers of the Ming army were like tigers and wolves. Qijie made no progress, but the Tianzhu army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat hastily. The army retreated to the east bank of the Nu River, preparing to rely on the steep mountains and rivers to stabilize its position.
At this moment, a thunderbolt came from the blue, and Tengchong Mansion was lost! It turned out that just when Shi Liancheng was leading the main force in a fierce battle with the Tianzhu army, an elite division of 20,000 people unexpectedly climbed over Gaoligong Mountain, a mountain with snowy peaks that is difficult for birds to cross, and suddenly appeared outside Tengchong Prefecture. The people of Tianzhu never expected that the elites of the Ming Dynasty would come around the frontal battlefield. They were caught off guard and were soon attacked by the elites of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Tianzhu defenders numbered 30,000, they were attacked by the Ming army. But there was chaos, and everyone had no intention of fighting but just running for their lives. Soon after, the Ming army captured the city. The countless grain, grass and baggage that the Tianzhu people had hoarded in Tengchong Mansion all became the spoils of war for the Ming army.
When the Kshatriyas on the front line heard the news, they were shocked to know that the Nujiang River could no longer bear it. They immediately set fire to the camp and sent cavalry to harass the Ming army. The large group of soldiers and horses hurriedly crossed the Nujiang River and fled westward.
This tactic of the Kshatriyas worked. The continuous fire temporarily hindered the progress of the Ming army, and the harassment of the Tianzhu cavalry also inevitably delayed the progress of the Ming army. The main force of Kshatriya India crossed the Nu River and tried to recapture Tengchong Mansion. However, after a tentative attack, they found that the Ming army was very tightly guarded, and it was impossible for our side to capture Tengchong Mansion in a short time. The Kshatriyas had no choice but to give up their plans to recapture Tengchong Mansion and led the main army to retreat hastily towards the country.
The main force of Yanyun's army crossed the river, and the cavalry immediately chased them. They only intercepted the opponent's rear team of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but the enemy's large forces fled into the country. The Ming army pursued them all the way to the foot of the Naga Mountains. Seeing that the mountains were steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy troops had blocked the passes, there was no chance to take advantage of them. So the Ming army stopped the pursuit, leaving only a few troops in the Naga mountains. A camp was set up in a dangerous place nearby as a sentinel, and the brigade retreated to Tengchong Mansion. The Tianzhu Army nervously paid attention to the Ming Army in the east. When they saw the main force of the Ming Army retreating, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The Kshatriyas did not dare to be careless, and while arranging defenses, they sent heralds to report the situation here to the emperor.
After listening to the officer's narration, the emperor and ministers of Tianzhu were all silent and solemn, because they heard that the Ming army defeated their own army head-on. Seven battles, seven major defeats, their own army was completely defeated, and there was no excuse to comfort themselves. .
The emperor looked pale and said: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the people of Ming Dynasty would be so terrible!" The emperor's words also expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
The emperor looked at the officer and asked urgently: "How many troops do the Kshatriyas have under their command?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal still has more than 600,000 troops, and they are all deployed on the front line of the Naga Mountains to prevent the Ming army from invading!"
When the kings and ministers heard that there were more than 600,000 Kshatriyas under their command, they couldn't help but let go of their worries. Ajia'er said: "Your Majesty, we still have more than 600,000 troops, and we have the Naga Mountains as our support. There is no need to worry about the security of the east. The reason why the Ming army did not attack the Naga Mountains and retreated must be because they saw that it was hopeless to capture the Naga Mountains. , so I retreated."
The emperor nodded with deep sympathy, and then asked: "Under such circumstances, we shouldn't need to move the capital, right?"
Purusha said proudly: "We Tianzhu soldiers are determined to defend His Majesty and the capital to the death. There is no need to move the capital at all!" All the Tianzhu ministers agreed one after another. They were all commendable for their loyalty and bravery, and they looked away from their panicked look just now. In their minds, since the Naga Mountains blocked the main force of the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to worry too much. Although the army on the northern front was also defeated, after all, the Ming army in the north only had tens of thousands of troops. No matter what, it was impossible that the half-million troops of our central army could not withstand their tens of thousands of troops.
The officer sent by the Kshatriya said: "Your Majesty, our army is short of food and grass and needs a lot of food and grass relief, otherwise the army will be short of food soon!"
The emperor immediately handed over the matter to Ajiaer. Immediately, the emperor ordered Generalissimo Purusha of the Central Army to be the supreme defense commander, and Kenil, another generalissimo of the Central Army, to be the deputy commander. He led the Central Army remaining in Delhi to counterattack northward against the Ming Dynasty army that invaded the country.
After the meeting, Ajiar left the palace together with the officer sent by the Kshatriya. Agar asked the officer: "Why did the Kshatriya Grand Marshal's army of more than one million people suffer such a tragic defeat?"
The officer showed fear on his face and said: "I have never seen such a terrifying enemy. They are as brave and sturdy as the legendary devils. They are not afraid of death! Moreover, in terms of tactics, personal combat skills, army cooperation, equipment, Their morale and other aspects are far superior to our army. There is no one in our army that can compare with them! If the place where we fought was not covered with dense forests and ravines, if we fought on a plain like Delhi, millions of us would have lost our battle. I’m afraid the army won’t be able to come back!”
Although Ajia'er already felt that the Ming army might be the most terrifying opponent Tianzhu had ever encountered, he never thought that the gap between the two sides would be so big! Frowning, he asked: "Are we really so much worse than them!?"
The officer nodded, "We can't compare with them at all! Compared with them, we are like a mob! Their most terrifying thing is the cavalry!" At this point, fear appeared on the officer's face involuntarily. Color, "Their cavalry is like a storm of blades and cannot withstand it at all! When the cavalry sweeps over, the ground is littered with corpses! In addition, the gap in equipment is also huge! Only a few of our elite troops are equipped with armor, but they But everyone is equipped with very well-equipped armor. When the two sides fight, the scimitars in our hands are often unable to cut through their armor. But when they come over with a knife, our people die tragically on the spot! In addition, there are many of them that we have never seen before. Extremely powerful weapon, extremely lethal!"
Ajia'er frowned and asked, "Just tell me, how many soldiers and horses do we need to defeat ten thousand of them?"
The officer thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. If I want to defeat 10,000 of them, I may need an army of 100,000, or more!" Ajia'er's expression changed, and then his expression became very solemn. stand up.
Purusha and Kenil issued military orders, and the troops of the Central Army quickly began to assemble. Large armies gathered outside the city, making a lot of noise. The military appearance is not uniform. Only one-tenth of the soldiers and horses in these armies are equipped with complete armor, and they are also colorful. They are not uniform in color and have a chilling momentum like the armies of other countries. Perhaps as some people have said, the Tianzhu nation is a nation that is very bad at war.
After the army was assembled, Purusha climbed up the city wall and looked at the densely packed army under the city that seemed to be endless. He couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart. Purusha raised his voice and shouted: "Warriors of Tianzhu, you are invincible!" Hundreds of thousands of troops shouted in unison, one after another, the sound shook the sky.
Purusha pointed his halberd finger to the east and said loudly: "The Ming people dare to offend our dignity, what should we do?"
"Destroy them!" an officer shouted. Hundreds of thousands of troops roared, and the huge sound rolled through the sky like thunder. The Tianzhu soldiers were all excited and wanted to rush to the battlefield immediately to fight the Ming army.
Purusha loudly said: "Anyone who dares to offend our enemies will be punished with the cruelest punishment! Our response to the enemy's provocation is only one word, fight! We will use our scimitars to shed the enemy's blood, and we will let The enemy trembles when they hear our reputation! We are the people of the God of Heaven, and we are invincible!" The emotions of hundreds of thousands of Tianzhu soldiers could not help but rise to the top, and they roared hysterically.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
