"You don't want to wait for most of them, but you have to come to Huaidong. Your Majesty really thinks that the red scarf thief is easy to deal with!" Ye Xian Timur said angrily.
"You idiot, shut up!"
Tuotuo scolded sternly.
Their brothers are now on the chopping block. Whether they live or die depends entirely on the whim of Emperor Yuan!
The top priority now is to try to clear Timur of the defeat as much as possible.
Tuo Tuoqiang cheered up and paced back and forth in the tent.
He thought for a long time, stared at Timur and asked, "How many people did you escape from this defeat?"
Timur shook his head first. "I don't know. Anyway, there were only a dozen soldiers around me. They robbed a boat and ran out. I don't know how many people are left."
Tuotuo suddenly became even more angry.
"Let me ask you again, how many thieves were killed or wounded?"
First of all, Timur naturally had no idea how many Red Turban soldiers he had killed.
The Red Scarf Army's trench and wall tactics caused the Yuan army to hit the wall repeatedly, and they suffered a lot of casualties. As for how many Red Scarf soldiers were killed, it is not known at all.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
However, Timur noticed his brother's anger first and did not dare to tell the truth.
He immediately pretended to think about it and then said.
"The thieves are outnumbered, but there are many miscellaneous soldiers. I led the army to charge and kill several times, and almost broke out."
"Stop talking nonsense, how many thieves have been killed!" Tuotuo said impatiently.
"If you don't have fifty thousand soldiers to kill, you have to have thirty thousand!" Ye Xian Timur said without blushing or heartbeat.
When Tuotuo heard this, he immediately guessed based on the information he had obtained that although Zhu Yuanzhang, a group of red scarf thieves, had annihilated the Yuan army, he must have suffered serious casualties.
"You can't defeat me in a fight, but I can let you escape death!"
Tuotuo paced back and forth even more impatiently, finally making up his mind.
"Quickly, grind the ink for me, and I will report to His Majesty!"
.
.
First, the news of Timur's defeat of more than 100,000 troops in Wulonghe soon reached Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, Tuohuan Timur had already led the Yuan army to Bianliang.
Pingzhang Temur of Henan Province led a regiment of military training envoys Chahan Timur, Li Siqi and others to welcome the emperor.
Before Tuohuan Timur had time to reward these ministers for their meritorious service in repelling the red scarf thieves and guarding Bianliang, he received news of Timur's defeat.
"waste!"
"The army of more than 100,000 people was defeated, and Tamerlane should die first!"
Tuohuan Timur immediately became furious.
Youcheng Hama and others who were accompanying him were all too arrogant to show off.
Emperor Meng Yuan originally wanted to go out to the mountains to pick peaches during this personal expedition.
I never expected that the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang in Huainan would be so good at fighting, and defeated Timur's army of more than 100,000 men.
From this point of view, Huainan is really dangerous.
As an emperor, Tuohuan Timur was already a little scared.
This violent outburst seemed a bit like a panic attack.
Under this concern, Tuohuan Timur even had the intention of not going south, sitting in Bianliang, and continuing to let Tuotuo support the plan to suppress the bandits.
Youcheng Hama and others soon realized the Emperor Tuohuan Timur's intention.
They immediately became as anxious as ants on a hot pot!
This is absolutely not possible!
Hama and others encouraged the emperor to go on a personal expedition in order to kill Prime Minister Tuotuo.
If the emperor is afraid and dares not continue his personal expedition, and continues to rely on Tuotuo, then the ministers such as Hama and others who have made slanderous remarks will be in danger!
After Tuotuo wiped out the red scarf thieves and made a huge contribution, he turned around to deal with Hama and others, wouldn't it mean that they would die without a burial place.
Just at this time, two urgent memorials rekindled the fighting spirit of Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty!
One letter was a confession sent by Prime Minister Tuotuo. It stated that his younger brother was guilty of defeating Timur. However, Tamerlane also fought hard and dealt a heavy blow to the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang, who was unable to fight. The enemy has to retreat after being defeated.
".
.
The heavenly soldiers of the imperial court roared with fire and cannons, and the thief general fell down at the sound. Dozens of people surrounded the thief general's broken body and retreated wailing.
.
. "
When the Meng Yuan Emperor Tuohuan Timur saw this, not only was he not angry because of the defeat, but he was a little happy.
First, Tamerlane was defeated, and he was justified in taking over Tuotuo's crime, and no one would dare to question him again.
Moreover, judging from the memorial, although the red scarf thieves defeated the officers and soldiers, they themselves suffered heavy losses and would no longer have an impact on the battle situation in Huaidong.
"Where did this thief general come from? Why didn't Tuotuo explain it in the memorial?"
Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty asked the messenger who sent the message.
The envoy had already received Tuotuo's instructions and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the thief general is the younger brother of the thief leader Zhu Yuanzhang. The thief's name is Zhu Han. I heard that he is the Zhu thief's first counselor and general. This serious injury will lead to death soon!"
"Zhu Han? This is the first time I've heard of this name!"
Tuohuan Timur nodded slightly.
Since the younger brother of the thief Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously injured by the Yuan army's artillery, it means that the thief's army must have been seriously injured, and there will be no danger if he continues to drive and conquer in person.
After all, Zhang Shicheng is already a turtle in the urn and can be captured and killed at any time.
"I congratulate Your Majesty. Although the imperial court suffered losses in the Battle of Wulong River, our Yuan Dynasty has millions of strong soldiers. However, the Han people signed an army with as many as they want. The thieves suffered heavy losses and will definitely not be able to resist the arrival of Your Majesty's power." !" Youcheng Hama said excitedly.
Hearing Hama's words, Tuohuan Timur nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Hama presented the second memorial list.
This was sent from Pingzhang Bolu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Bolu said in the memorial that the navy and infantry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces originally suffered heavy losses, but when the officials and people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang heard that the emperor was personally conducting the expedition, they were very enthusiastic. The rich contributed money and the powerful contributed, and they have accumulated nearly one million yuan. The gold and silver coins are ready to be given to His Majesty the Emperor to reward the troops.
"million?"
As soon as he heard this number, Tuohuan Timur's eyes widened in surprise.
"Jiangnan is indeed a prosperous place. I have been harassed by bandits several times before, and I also dispersed wealth to recruit groups to practice volunteering. I thought I had no money left, but I didn't expect there to be so much treasure!"
Emperor Dayuan's march was originally intended to be a reward for the troops in Bianliang to motivate the accompanying soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
However, after the previous siege by the Red Scarf Army, Bianliang had already spent all the food, grass and money accumulated in the city, and could not spare a single copper plate to reward the troops.
Most of the imperial guards who followed were no longer the cowardly Xue Gei who followed Genghis Khan in bloody battles. They were basically pampered Mongolian princes.
They didn't get rewards and rewards, and they were already full of complaints.
As the emperor, Tuohuan Timur also understood this.
Now that things are going well, Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has already prepared the money to reward the army, and Brother Tuotuo has also severely damaged the vitality of the red scarf thieves.
Tuohuan Timur can continue to confidently and boldly go to the imperial chariot to conquer in person.
"I am uneasy because the bandits will not be eliminated. I will send an order to the entire army tomorrow to prepare to continue marching south!"
Tuohuan Timur ordered loudly.
"According to the order, Your Majesty!" Youcheng Hama immediately accepted the order happily and left.
Shortly after the Emperor of the Dayuan Dynasty left Bianliang, he met another emissary sent by Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
This time the envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang brought almost 10,000 taels of gold to the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, all of which were made of exquisite gold leaves and given to the Emperor to reward his troops.
"Beru is a loyal minister!"
Tuohuan Timur immediately distributed the reward to the whole army. All the Mongolian warriors and Xuejie were almost one tael of gold each. As for the other Han people, Koreans and other entourages, the envoys would ask the number of people and they would be offered next time. Come.
really.
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had just arrived at Guide Mansion for his congratulations to Tamerlane, and another wave of envoys from Pingzhang Bolu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were already waiting in advance.
This time, they brought more than 10,000 taels of gold, as well as many fine Jiangnan tribute teas and a large amount of expensive pepper and other spices.
The Meng Yuan Imperial Guards immediately burst into joy.
Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty looked at the high morale of the imperial guards. While he was happy and relieved, he also had some doubts.
That's how Bolu transported so many gold, silver and other items so quickly and safely.
Faced with the question of Emperor Yuan's love for Timur, the envoy from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was obviously well prepared and immediately gave a watertight answer.
"I report to Your Majesty that the red scarf thief Zhu Yuanzhang has lost his army and has been unable to leave the state. Hearing that Your Majesty personally marched, his liver and gallbladder were broken. He repeatedly asked the court to recruit him. Bolu Pingzhang tried his best to deal with the thief, and it was impossible to transport some things from the south of the Yangtze River. No difficulty.”
After some explanations by the envoy, Tuohuan Timur learned that the Yuan Dynasty navy on the Yangtze River had basically restored its navigation ability, and the red scarf thieves had too much to take care of themselves.
However, Tuohuan Timur still had doubts in his heart.
"That's not right. Tuotuo has repeatedly reported that the red scarf thieves are entrenched in the Yangtze River. The food, grass and money in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be supplied. Gaoyou City needs to be captured as soon as possible to end the war?" Tuohuan Timur said with a frown.
The envoy immediately knelt down to apologize, and then said with a cautious look: "Your Majesty, I don't know about these important military and state affairs. Maybe the Prime Minister has other compelling reasons."
What a bullshit necessity!
Tuohuan Timur thought for a moment and immediately guessed that Tuotuo must not have wanted him to lead the expedition in person, so he deliberately exaggerated the supply problems of the Huaidong War. The purpose was naturally to make himself flinch.
After sending away the envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Youcheng Hama immediately made the same guess.
When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he immediately felt that his guess was 100% correct.
"Tuotuo is a traitor! No, he should be a national thief. After this battle, I must punish him severely!" Tuohuan Timur shouted angrily.
Since Tuohuan Timur left Dadu with his imperial guards, the memorials of civil and military officials impeaching Tuofu have drifted over like snowflakes.
Various charges such as arrogance and domineering, greed and cruelty, arrogance of troops to disturb the people, deception and disloyalty, etc., have already made Tuohuan Timur no longer care about his old friendship at all.
"Your Majesty, please be at peace. As long as the army crosses the Huaihe River, it will be easy to annihilate the bandits! It will not be too late to punish Tuotuo and his party for the rebellion!" Hama said carefully from the side.
"Well, when we cross the Huaihe River, the first thing to do is to depose Tuotuo, and then he and Tamerlane will be imprisoned first!"
The Mongolian and Yuan imperial guards led by Tuohuan Timur marched all the way to the southeast and soon arrived in Xuzhou.
However, Xuzhou, which was originally a large city in the Central Plains, was now basically deserted.
In the huge city of Xuzhou, apart from some government camps, there were not even hundreds of ordinary people to be found.
The culprit responsible for the current situation is the 'culprit' Tuotuo.
Previously, the Red Scarf Army occupied Xuzhou. After Tuotuo led the army to capture it, he indulged his men and carried out a large-scale massacre!
Almost every ten people in Xuzhou were killed, and those who were lucky enough to survive fled the city.
Now that the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is here, those noble Mongolian princes actually have to do chores such as fetching water, feeding horses, cooking, etc.
Even the food and grass hoarded in Xuzhou City are pitiful.
The Meng Yuan Emperor Tuo Huan Timur and the imperial guards only stayed for one day, then left Xuzhou and continued to move forward, cursing.
Along the way, they encountered two groups of envoys from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province not only sent a lot of gold and silver money, but also paid for the purchase of grain and grass supplies in advance on the way the "Emperor's Driver" was about to move forward.
The Imperial Guards of Emperor Yuan Dynasty only need to be escorted with peace of mind, and they don't need to do anything to pay for food and clothing themselves.
The Yuan army was relaxed, especially Youcheng Hama, who secretly received many tributes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and even praised Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in front of Emperor Yuan.
When Emperor Yuan's emperor, who was in love with Timur, reached the north bank of the Huaihe River, he was blocked by a vast lake in front of him.
"Your Majesty, this is Hongze Lake. After passing by, we will reach Huainan!" You Cheng Hama explained from the side.
Emperor Yuan Tuohuan smiled slightly. "Hama, you don't need to tell me, I've already been here before!"
It turns out that Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty was exiled to the south of Guangfu by the previous emperor in his early years. He returned to Dadu several years later. The route he took at that time passed through Hongze Lake.
"Your Majesty is wise, but I am stupid!" You Cheng Hama quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, after crossing the river, Bolu has sent people to prepare a camp, which contains water, food and horse feed. After three to five days of walking, we can reach Gaoyou." A middle-aged scribe next to him said.
Emperor Yuan Tuohuan Timur nodded with satisfaction. "Liu Bowen, you have done a great job in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You are all heroes of the Yuan Dynasty. After this battle, I will personally issue an imperial edict to commend you!"
"I'm scared, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Liu Bowen said quickly.
It turned out that in order to safely and boldly explore the true situation of Emperor Yuan's holy drive, Liu Bowen personally went out and led a large number of treasures to reward the army to pay homage to Emperor Yuan.
As the day passed, Emperor Yuan's imperial guards finally completed crossing the river.
They were stationed in a camp that had been prepared in advance.
This camp set up by people from Pingzhang Bolu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang not only has all kinds of archery towers for defense, but there is also no shortage of all kinds of food, grass, meat, food and wine. In addition, even the fodder for horses is chopped finely. There were voices from all over the Imperial Guard praising Bolu's loyalty.
The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was also very happy to have Timur in his arms, and immediately praised Liu Bowen verbally.
As an envoy, Liu Bowen naturally did not dare to take credit and be arrogant, and put all the credit on Lord Bolu Pingzhang.
By the time the guards finished everything, it was already evening.
As the cold evening wind blew, the entire camp fell into sleep.
Under the dark night, the Yuan army camp was as quiet as a cemetery.
In Hongze Lake not far away, there is a hidden reed swamp.
A Red Turban soldier, wearing night clothes, hurriedly took a boat to report.
"Deputy Commander, the Tatars have already entered the camp!"
Zhu Han, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, immediately stood up happily when he heard this.
"Okay, here's the order. The navy troops are on standby to prevent the Tartars from escaping by boat. The horse infantry troops will change their uniforms with me!" Zhu Han gave the order.
soon.
More than 10,000 Red Turban troops all put on brand-new Yuan army uniforms, and several rebel soldiers who led the army had even shaved off their hair, turning into the half-bald hairstyle commonly seen among Mongolians. .
As the flags of the Yuan army were played out one after another, the elite red scarf army led by Zhu Han instantly transformed into the elite Yuan army under the command of Prime Minister Tuotuo of the Yuan Dynasty.
More than 10,000 elite Red Scarf Army soldiers dressed up in disguise and took advantage of the night to head towards the camp where Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was stationed.
Following the marching route that had been set up, Zhu Han and the others soon arrived at the outermost edge of the Hongze Lake camp.
According to the agreement, Liu Bowen, who stayed in the camp, would escape from the secret passage in the camp.
really.
Zhu Han and the others waited at the agreed place for less than half an hour when Liu Bowen arrived in the dark.
"Sir, how is everything?" Zhu Han asked immediately.
Liu Bowen let out a breath of turbid air. The climb up the tunnel just now almost suffocated him to death.
"Deputy Commander, everything is as usual. The Tartar Emperor and the soldiers are unprepared and can attack. This is their defense plan. The Tartar Emperor lives here!"
As Liu Bowen spoke, he took out a defense map he had just drawn.
"Haha, this Tatar emperor is really cunning. He actually changed his own troop deployment." Zhu Han smiled coldly after reading.
This camp was built by the Red Turban Army, and they already knew where the weak points were. As for the temporary changes of the Yuan Army, they did not escape their expectations at all.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?" Liu Bowen asked worriedly.
According to this personal investigation, the escorting Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards were mainly composed of Qie Xue Ji, who was composed of aristocratic children, as well as servant troops from Liaoyang and Goryeo expeditions, and a small number of northern Han noble guards.
These soldiers and horses can be called the last elite of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty, and their combat power is probably not easy to deal with.
Now that the defenses have been changed again, Liu Bowen is really worried that the more than 10,000 people brought by Zhu Han will not be able to annihilate them.
"The Tatars only have 10,000 soldiers and horses. I brought more than 15,000 people and more than a dozen artillery pieces. It will definitely not be a problem to deal with a group of pampered Meng Yuanxun's noble sons!"
Zhu Han didn't care at all about the cowardly Xue Ji and other Imperial Guards in the late Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.
In history, when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was finally overthrown, these cowards never went into battle, they were just a bunch of useless people.
Except for the name of Qie Xue Ge, which is still the same as in the Genghis Khan era, everything else is completely incomparable.
Since everything was OK, Zhu Han immediately decided to march quickly and go straight to the Hongze Lake camp where Emperor Meng Yuan was stationed.
Zhu Han ordered the torches to be lit and they marched openly.
He got on his horse, pointed his sword straight ahead, and shouted to the whole army.
"The enemy is in Hongze Lake!"
Under the night of the first lunar month, the cold wind was still bitingly cold.
Especially since Hongze Lake belongs to the southern boundary, the humid and cold air made it even more difficult for Yue Libuhua and others who were on guard outside the camp.
"This place of thieves in the south is actually a bit colder than Dadu!"
A Mongolian timid Xue Bai wrapped his robe around himself and complained.
As the hereditary guard of thousands of households, Yue Libuhua just listened to the complaints of his subordinates and said nothing.
Yue Li Bu Hua is the great-grandson of Mu Huali, the founding hero of Mongolia. He is a child of a standard military family. As a guard of the Great Khan, he naturally has a meticulous consciousness.
As for the other cowardly Xue Jie Imperial Guards, they were all used to being pampered, and no one was on duty properly. They all gathered together to drink, talk and laugh.
Regarding these subordinates, Yue Libuhua had no intention of controlling them.
We are all noble children. Even if we don't spend a month to discipline them, they will just deal with it happily.
suddenly.
Yue Libuhua saw a series of lights floating in the darkness in the distance.
"what is that?"
Yue Libuhua exclaimed in a low voice, which attracted the surrounding Yuan army soldiers to pay attention to the distance.
They saw the series of lights approaching rapidly towards the emperor's camp. As the series of lights became more and more numerous, Yue Libuhua and others finally determined that it was a large team marching with torches.
"Strange, where did the people and horses come from?" Yue Li Buhua was full of doubts.
These so-called Mongolian cowardly and evil elites have long been accustomed to being pampered. Except for their loyalty, which is worthy of trust, the rest of their military skills are already substandard.
Faced with this situation, in fact, no elites are needed. Just a team of qualified scouts will immediately issue an 'enemy attack' warning.
Even if the warning is a misunderstanding, it is still better than being attacked by the enemy.
However, Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty was sleeping soundly in the camp. Yue Libuhua and others did not dare and did not think of announcing an enemy attack.
After all, this place is under the control of the Meng Yuan court, and there is no information about the presence of thieves at all.
"Let's go, let me interrogate you!"
Yue Libuhua got on his horse and led a few of his men towards the front.
Following a burst of galloping horses, Yue Libuhua and others quickly stopped the group of soldiers and horses of unknown origin in the dark night.
"Where are you from?"
Yue Libuhua shouted loudly.
He was speaking in Mongolian. If he was a bandit, it would be impossible to understand him.
"We are here under the orders of Prime Minister Tuotuo to welcome the holy chariot and escort him!"
A response came quickly from the darkness, and it was also in Mongolian.
When Yue Libuhua and others heard this, they immediately lowered their guard by more than half.
Since Prime Minister Tuotuo sent someone to escort him, there is nothing to worry about.
"Okay, it turns out he's one of our own!"
Yue Libuhua and others rode forward confidently and boldly.
They quickly came closer and saw several officers wearing Yuan officer uniforms coming towards them.
Yue Libuhua saw that these imperial officers and soldiers were not wearing helmets, their shiny heads exposed to the heat of sweat. They all had standard Mongolian hairstyles, and the last bit of vigilance was also removed.
"Dare you ask me your name?"
An officer asked Yue Libuhua.
"Xue Xue Yao left a thousand households and Yue Li Bu Hua!" Yue Li Bu Hua said loudly.
Hearing that he was a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, the officers who were "Tao Tuo Men" all looked flattering. They gathered around, took out gold and silver orbs from their arms, and stuffed them into the moon. Don’t spend it waiting in someone else’s hands.
Yue Libuhua was filled with joy by these 'sensible' officers. She was only busy chatting with them and receiving gold, silver and jewelry. She didn't realize that several soldiers had come around behind them and blocked and surrounded them.
Just when Yue Libuhua was filled with joy, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
He suddenly turned around and saw a group of "official soldiers" armed with swords and guns surrounding him.
Yue Libuhua was shocked and just wanted to yell loudly to warn.
suddenly.
He only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he couldn't make a sound. Then his body went limp, and he fell to the ground with blood gushing out.
The remaining soldiers of the Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards were also attacked at the same time, and they were all killed without a word.
"Hmph, dog Tatar, bring it to you!"
Chang Yuchun rubbed the corpses for a while and took back all the gold, silver and jewelry that he had just paid homage to.
"Chang Yuchun, stop looking and march quickly!"
Zhu Han couldn't help but lecture.
"As you command, deputy commander!"
.
.
Zhu Han led the Red Scarf Army in disguise and used several officials sent by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who knew Mongolian to quickly overcome the peripheral security encountered and arrived in front of the Yuan army camp.
"Deploy artillery and seal all exits!"
"Set up the trebuchets and load them all with explosive alcohol pellets!"
"Scatter all the iron pears and tripping spikes over there, and don't let a single Tatar escape!"
Following a burst of intensive orders, the Red Scarf Army followed the layout that had been rehearsed and surrounded the entire Yuan Army emperor's camp.
A large number of defensive weapons such as iron pear and horse tripping spikes were filled in the open space. Even if the Yuan army wanted to break out now, even if thousands of people were killed or injured, they would not be able to escape.
The first place to start the battle was the Red Turban Navy on Hongze Lake. They took small boats and took advantage of the north wind to rush the arson boats one by one towards the Yuan army ships.
With the flames soaring into the sky, the Yuan army's possibility of escaping through the waterway was completely blocked.
The bright red fire immediately caused panic in the Yuan army camp.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the navy ship is on fire!"
A confidant rushed into the camp of Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty.
"What, is there a fire?"
Tuohuan Timur was suddenly surprised.
He quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the tent to check.
Just after walking out of the camp, Timur suddenly felt a bright light flashing above his head.
He looked up and saw dozens of shining points of light falling from the black night sky, like stars falling.
Peng!
Suddenly, a shining light suddenly hit the Yuan army camp.
call!
Immediately afterwards, a ball of orange-red flame exploded, igniting a fire in a tent, and the Mongolian Imperial Guards who were sleeping inside howled like ghosts.
They struggled to tear apart the collapsed tent and crawled out screaming.
There was a Guards soldier who was covered in flames and couldn't put it out with his palm. Not only could he not put it out, but his palm also caught fire.
"Evil fire!"
Tuohuan Timur was frightened. He knew that there was a kind of thick black water drilled underground in the Western Regions, which could be used to ignite fires.
However, Emperor Meng Yuan had no time to scream more, so he had to hide in Tibet desperately.
Because more and more alcohol-burning projectiles were smashed in by the trebuchet.
All the tents in the entire Yuan army camp were burned down.
"Your Majesty, enemy attack!"
"Your Majesty, a large group of thieves are coming outside!"
Several generals of the Imperial Guard finally found the hiding emperor Tuohuan Timur.
"Where are the thieves from?"
Tuohuan Timur was surprised and regretful, and asked in a crying voice.
"Your Majesty, I still don't know." A general said.
"Your Majesty, Tuo Tuo must have conspired to rebel. I just saw vaguely the flag uniforms of officers and soldiers!" You Cheng said in a embarrassed tone.
It turned out that when the Red Turban Army started throwing incendiary bombs, You Cheng Hama happened to be patrolling the camp and happened to see the Red Turban Army against the firelight.
"Totuo dares to rebel, you should be damned!" Tuohuan Timur said angrily.
With a burst of intensive throwing, the entire Yuan army camp was set on fire.
All the accompanying provisions, tents, baggage, stables, etc. were all burned to ashes. Even the armor and stomach of many Imperial Guard soldiers were burned by the fire.
By the time the Red Scarf Army had smashed all the alcohol-sugar incendiary bombs, at least nearly one-third of the Imperial Guards had no armor and stomach protection.
As a burst of trumpets and drums sounded, the Red Scarf Army outside the camp took off their Yuanbing military uniforms and put on the red flag of the Red Scarf Army!
Under the illumination of the torch, the red flags were like flames, almost blinding the eyes of the cowards and soldiers of the Yuan army.
"What, the red scarf thief!"
"Where did the red scarf thief come from?"
The entire Yuan Army camp was suddenly in panic!
Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Yuan Dynasty did not react for a moment when he heard that it was a sneak attack by red scarf thieves.
"Where did the red scarf thief come from? Didn't Tuotuo say that the red scarf thief couldn't shrink away?"
Youcheng Hama and others cried bitterly and shouted.
"Your Majesty, this is all Tuotuo's treacherous plan!"
"If the red scarf thief dares to attack, someone must have tipped him off!"
Just as the monarch and his ministers were weeping at each other, a burst of shouting suddenly sounded outside the camp.
"People inside, listen, you are surrounded. If you want to survive, hand over your emperor!"
"Hand over your emperor, and none of the others will be killed!"
The Mongolian and Yuan Imperial Guards in the camp were still in panic.
However, when they heard the shouts of these Red Scarf Army soldiers, their blood suddenly rose again.
They are all Mongolian cowards and have been the guards of the Mongolian Khan since their ancestors. How could they be asked to hand over their own Khan in order to survive?
This is simply a huge insult to them.
Several Mongolian generals with a little combat experience immediately organized the imperial guards to restore order and began to set up defense.
They also organized a group of elite daredevils to surround the emperor Tuohuan Timur, ready to defend the emperor with their lives at any time.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, the Mongolian Imperial Guards began to counterattack. They used bows and arrows to drive away the approaching Red Turban Army.
However, the arrows in the dark night were not very accurate. After the Yuan army fired in vain for a while, apart from breaking some arrows in vain, there was no result.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do?"
Chang Yuchun, Chen Baodao and other generals asked.
Zhu Han glanced at the sky and saw that there was still more than an hour before dawn.
Everything in the Yuan army camp must have been burned down, and they would not even be able to eat after dawn.
"The entire army is on alert and will wait until breakfast before preparing to attack!" Zhu Han ordered.
As the Red Scarf Army stopped its offensive rhythm, the Yuan Army Imperial Guards in the camp became increasingly panicked.
Emperor Tuohuan Timur also asked anxiously.
"Who is the red scarf thief?"
"How many troops does the thief have?"
"When will the reinforcements come?"
"Where are the reinforcements?"
Facing a series of soul questions from Emperor Dayuan, several generals of the Yuan army lowered their heads helplessly.
However, as the darkness dissipated and dawn arrived, everything outside the camp was finally seen clearly by the Yuan army.
I saw a huge red scarf army flag with a big word "zhu" embroidered on it.
"Your Majesty, the red scarf thief outside the camp seems to be Zhu Yuanzhang's younger brother Zhu Han!"
Youcheng Hama quickly brought the news to the emperor.
When Emperor Yuan Dynasty heard that he was happy with Timur, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"What, Zhu Han? That guy Tuotuo, didn't he say that Zhu Han was seriously injured by the fire gun? Why did he come here?"
Hama cried sadly. "Your Majesty, Tuotuo must be colluding with the thieves, or else he is hiding his defeat and turning his victory into victory, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"The traitor mistook me!"
Tuohuan Timur patted his thighs and cried bitterly.
At this time, the sky was already bright.
The Red Scarf Army had already eaten hot soup and rice to replenish their physical strength.
The Yuan army in the camp had all their food and supplies burned down, and everyone was hungry. They could only drink a few wells when they were really hungry.
Youcheng Hama and several other ministers and generals finally gathered some sesame cakes and gave them to Emperor Tuohuan Timur with both hands to satisfy his hunger.
Now, everyone in the army knows that they have been plotted by the red scarf thieves and the traitors.
It is impossible for reinforcements to come to escort and rescue the siege.
"Your Majesty, there are only more than 10,000 traitors outside the camp, and our army also has 10,000 people. With a strong fight, it is very possible to break through successfully!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the general is willing to lead the elite to rush into the battle first to draw the attention of the thieves, and then Your Majesty can take the opportunity to break out!"
Several generals of the Imperial Guard proposed their own strategies. Tuohuan Timur swallowed a mouthful of dry biscuits, and then said worriedly.
"If I am ambushed by thieves, wouldn't I be in more danger?"
Right Prime Minister Hama and others were also suspicious. "Swords and guns have no eyes. If your majesty's golden body is injured, you will die without redemption!"
Facing the cowardly monarchs and ministers, these generals of the Imperial Guard continued to dissuade them.
"Your Majesty, all the food and grass in the camp have been burned. The longer the delay, the weaker our army's combat power will be. We might as well take advantage of this opportunity and fight hard to earn a way out!" A timid general Xue Gui advised.
Tuohuan Timur remained silent and did not speak, letting him take the risk to break out was really hard on him.
Hama and other ministers next to him put forward different suggestions of their own.
"Your Majesty, why not send someone to negotiate with the red scarf thieves? As long as they are willing to withdraw their troops to relieve the siege, we can agree to any conditions!" Hama suggested.
"Yes, we can talk! Send people to recruit them and tell them that as long as they withdraw their troops to relieve the siege, I am willing to seal off all of Huainan and Jiangbei to them!" Tuohuan Timur seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Your Majesty is wise. As long as the thieves retreat to rescue the siege, any promise is just a word!" Hama also became happy.
Several generals of the Imperial Guard looked at each other in confusion, as if they were seeing a pair of mentally retarded monarchs and ministers.
Soon, Hama sent a confidant to the Red Turban Army formation with a blank edict stamped with a large jade seal from Emperor Meng Yuan.
"Deputy Commander, here comes a monster monk!" Chang Yuchun shouted loudly.
The envoy who came was a monk with a foreign appearance from the Western Regions. He had a bald head and an aquiline nose, and was extremely unpleasant in appearance.
"Bring it here." Zhu Han ordered.
Soon, the monk was brought forward.
After listening to his narration, Zhu Han directly rejected the possibility of 'peace talks' without even thinking about it.
"Commander, your Majesty also said that if you are not satisfied with the Jiangbei Province, you can also grant the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces to you!" The monk continued to work hard.
Zhu Han smiled coldly. "Whether it's Jiangbei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Dadu, it's the place that belongs to us Han people. We will naturally take it by ourselves based on our ability. We don't need any reward from the Meng Yuan Emperor!"
After saying this, Zhu Han took another deep breath and continued.
"Go back and tell your emperor and the cowardly villains that if they are still men, then muster up the courage to fight to the last man!"
"If they still want to live, then hand over your emperor and then come out and surrender. I will not kill any of the prisoners!"
After hearing Zhu Han's words, the monk seemed to want to continue to argue.
However, Zhu Han did not intend to give him this opportunity.
Zhu Han sneered and said: "I only give you one hour to think about it. If the time is up and you haven't agreed to hand over Tuohuan Timur and surrender, then go in!"
When Monk Fan heard this, he still refused to give up. He opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty also said that if the commander-in-chief is willing to withdraw his troops, the Yellow River can be drawn as a boundary!"
Zhu Han is not a three-year-old child, so of course it is impossible for him to believe such ridiculous nonsense.
The monk was still going to chatter endlessly, so Zhu Han waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, the one-hour timer has started. If you are talking nonsense here, it counts as time!"
"Fight or surrender, go back and discuss!"
Immediately, Zhu Han ordered the guards on the left and right to use their fists and kicks to beat the monk out.
When the Fanseng envoy returned to the camp and told the news to Emperor Tuohuan Timur and others, everyone was furious.
"Fight the thief!"
"Your Majesty, we are waiting to fight to the death and protect Your Majesty from breaking through!"
Faced with the failure of the peace talks, Timur could only pin his hopes on a breakout.
Several generals of the Imperial Guard quickly
After discussing the countermeasures, they first used elite cavalry to clash on the left and right, involving the formation of the Red Scarf Army. Then, when the Red Scarf Army had a loophole, seven or eight groups of elites broke out from different directions, and the Emperor of Yuan Dynasty agreed. Mu'er was hiding in one of the breakout elites.
After discussing the countermeasures, several generals of the Guards planned to take advantage of the situation and lied about leaving the camp to surrender, so as to give the elite cavalry involved a chance to leave the camp and form an array.
Under this arrangement, Tuohuan Timur called the monk again.
Emperor Dayuan pretended to express that he had decided to leave the camp and surrender. Whether he would live or die depended on the fate of the Red Turban Army. He only asked Zhu Han to let all the Yuan soldiers go and return to the capital.
After hearing this, the monk almost dropped his jaw in shock.
"Your Majesty's great mercy will surely bring great joy to the Bodhisattva!"
