"ah!"
Boluo Timur screamed and slowly sat down on his knees.
"General! General!" Boluo Timur's deputy general ran over and helped Boluo Timur up, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Boluo Timur's body fell limply into the deputy general's arms, lifeless. Losing quickly...
"Retreat! Retreat!"
When Boro Timur's lieutenant saw Boro Timur dying of anger, he immediately shouted loudly.
When Boro Timur's soldiers heard this, they immediately threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.
"shooting!"
Xu Da shouted loudly when he saw these defeated enemies.
Countless muskets spurted out from the hands of the soldiers around Xu Da, and the dense bullets instantly killed the soldiers under Boluo Timur's command.
"Quickly, chase the remaining soldiers!" Xu Da said loudly.
"Yes!" The general beside him hurriedly led the cavalry to pursue the remnants of Boluo Timur's troops who were fleeing in the distance.
"Send the order and occupy the pass immediately!" Xu Da said loudly.
"As ordered!" The guard beside him replied immediately, then turned and left.
…
The defeat of Boluo Timur made Tongguan, which was originally in danger, completely fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
After Xu Da occupied Tongguan with his troops, he sent someone to contact Chang Yuchun and others. After learning that Xu Da had quickly captured Tongguan, Chang Yuchun and others were extremely surprised, but at the same time they were also very happy.
Because now the Ming army needs a solid defense point to contain the main force of the Yuan army, and now that Tongguan has been captured by the Ming army, the Yuan army can only dispatch troops and horses from several other passes. Maybe it won’t take long before the Ming army can completely Address the threat from the Yuan army.
"Congratulations to the general for conquering Tongguan!"
Chang Yuchun and others congratulated Xu Da after arriving at Tongguan.
"Haha, you brothers are so lucky to be able to arrive at Tongguan in time to help!" Xu Da laughed.
Xu Da chatted with everyone for a while, and then asked: "Brothers, where are the reinforcements from the Yuan army now?"
"General, please report back. Now the Tatar Li Siqi has set up defenses in Fengzhou." Chang Yuchun said.
Xu Da nodded: "In this case, we should immediately send troops to deal with Li Siqi."
"General, I suggest you not rush to attack Fengzhou now, because there are Mongolian cavalry from Tongguan to Xi'an, and our scouts found traces of Mongolian troops about 20 kilometers away from here, threatening us. Food road." Chang Yuchun reminded.
Xu Da pondered for a moment and then said:
"In this case, we will not attack Fengzhou for the time being. What we have to do now is to try our best to annihilate the nearby Mongolian cavalry, and finally eliminate the threat of Li Siqi."
"yes!"
Xu Da then immediately summoned the commanders of each battalion to discuss the specific battle plan.
…
At the same time, Li Siqi, who was in Fengzhou, also received information about the Yuan army's situation in Tongguan.
"General, Tongguan has fallen!"
When Li Siqi heard the report from his subordinates, his face changed drastically: "How is it possible? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty army broke through Tongguan's defense so quickly?"
Li Siqi was secretly surprised!
He knew that Tongguan was the chokepoint of the entire Guanzhong territory. If Tongguan fell, Guanzhong would fall into the hands of the Ming army sooner or later.
"General, according to the information we received, the Ming army captured Tongguan three days ago and beheaded more than 5,000 people!" a captain said in a low voice.
Li Siqi took a deep breath, and then said slowly:
"If the notice goes down, we will immediately send troops to retreat to Xiazhou. We can't stay in Fengzhou any longer!"
Li Siqi knew that the current situation was very dangerous. The Ming army had already taken control of the situation in Guanzhong. If they didn't leave before the Ming army completed the encirclement, I'm afraid they would have to shed their skin even if they didn't die!
"General, is this really okay? What if the Ming army comes after you..." the captain said worriedly.
Li Siqi shook his head and said:
"This is the only way left for us now, otherwise we will never be able to turn around! Now we must retreat immediately, otherwise the Ming army will encircle us, and then we will be unable to fly!"
"Yes!" The captain did not dare to disobey Li Siqi's order.
"In addition, notify all the cavalry and ask them to speed up their movement to Xiazhou!"
"yes!"
The school captain took the order and left, and then began to make arrangements according to Li Siqi's instructions.
The Ming army quickly captured Tongguan.
Not only Li Siqi, but also the entire Yuan army generals in Guanzhong were panicked, and many fled without fighting.
The entire Guanzhong area was easily occupied by Xu Da and others without much fighting.
…
Metropolis!
"What? Li Siqi was defeated by the Ming army?" Queen Qi looked surprised.
"Yes, Queen Mother, now Li Siqi has retreated to Xiazhou and is actively preparing for war!" Wang Baobao said.
"Humph, waste, what a waste! It was so easy to be defeated by the Ming army, it is a disgrace to Dayuan!" Empress Dowager Qi scolded.
"Queen Mother, now that Li Siqi has returned to Xiazhou, what should we do?" the young emperor Aiyou asked.
"this……"
Empress Dowager Qi didn't know how to deal with the predicament at hand.
Now that Guanzhong has failed and the Ming army has occupied Guanzhong, the next goal must be to go north to attack Shanxi and Hebei.
"The Queen Mother, the general believes that we should quickly summon Li Siqi to join us in Dadu to jointly resist the Ming army and defend our country!" Wang Baobao said.
Ying Tianfu.
The autumn rain fell softly.
In the Daming Palace, elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang was watching the good news from Liaodong.
"Mao Gui said that Jilin City is almost in shape and should be completely completed before next spring. There are three thousand soldiers left to garrison and we need to transport food and grass."
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han next to him.
"Brother, please rest assured. I have prepared all the food, grass, cotton clothes and other luggage needed by these three thousand people. They have been transported to Goryeo. Jilin City can be transported there immediately after it is built." Zhu Han said.
The Northeast has been free from Han rule for hundreds of years, and now there are no Han people at all.
Zhu Han asked Mao Gui's Northern Expeditionary Army to build Jilin City in order to control the various Jurchen tribes nearby.
Three thousand Ming soldiers were left in Jilin City, enough to monitor the surrounding Jurchen forces.
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
Now the Ming Dynasty court, from top to bottom, shows a strong enterprising spirit.
There is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han to give any guidance at all, they just need to provide logistical support.
Even if there were only three thousand Ming troops guarding Jilin City, Zhu Han believed there would be no problem.
"Mao Gui also reported that he defeated nearly ten thousand people from various Binhai Jurchen tribes, and the Jurchen tribe of Yehenala also surrendered. Qiwu, what do you think should be done with these Jurchens?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
"Mao Gui is indeed a powerful general. In less than a month, he has actually pacified so many Jurchen tribes. This is really impressive." Zhu Han then continued: "Every Jurchen tribe in Binhai has been beaten to a pulp. No matter what kind of storms arise, as long as Jilin City is stable, we will not be afraid of them."
Zhu Han was not too worried about the strength of the Jurchen tribes at this time.
But it couldn't give them a chance to breathe.
"The savage Jurchens are already honest, but the Mongols in the Duoyan Grassland are not yet honest. We can let the Jurchens attack the Mongols and make them kill each other."
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded in agreement. Mao Gui's ability to lead troops in combat is still very powerful. It is the most cost-effective to use his strong ability to lead troops to lead the Jurchens to fight the Mongols.
"Don't let those Jurchens idle and slowly drain their strength." Zhu Han said.
Not long ago, Xu Da led his army to capture Guanzhong, and the Mongolian and Yuan court had already planned to concentrate all its forces to defend the capital.
Among them, Liaodong became more important. After all, it was the flank of Dadu. Empress Dowager Qi asked Wang Baobao to replace Naha to guard Liaodong and serve as the Pingzhang of Liaoyang Province.
In order to harass the Yuan army in Liaodong and prevent them from attacking Maogui in Jilin, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han ordered General Hu Dahai to conduct a landing operation in Liaodong.
Both Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula was an area ignored by the Mongols. In fact, the Mongols had always controlled this area.
Although none of these Mongolians from the prairie are familiar with the navy.
But we also know that there is a Ming army on the opposite side of the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea.
King Baobao of Pingzhang of Liaoyang Province appointed by the Mongols was also well aware of this and took adequate precautions as soon as he took office.
His younger brother Alu Timur was appointed as the general manager of Liaonan, responsible for guarding against the Ming army in southern Liaoning and Goryeo.
Among them, the southernmost area in southern Liaoning was later known as the Dalian area in Lushun.
This is the area that Aru Timur is responsible for.
However, the Mongols did not pay much attention to the navy, and there was no fertile land for grazing on the seaside, so they rarely appeared on the seaside in southern Liaoning.
As a result, the Ming Navy, which often used large ships to explore the surrounding areas, thought that there were no Mongolian and Yuan troops stationed here.
In autumn, the weather is crisp and clear.
The younger brother of Wang Baobao of Pingzhang of Liaoyang in the Great Yuan Dynasty, Alu Timur, the general manager of Liaonan, happened to lead his men to inspect the southern Liaoning area.
There are some fishermen living in this area. Because they often go to the sea to catch fish, they can still collect a lot of seafood.
After a day's inspection, the cavalry behind Alu Timur, the general manager of Liaonan, had already loaded their horses with sea cucumbers, abalones and seafood.
"Sir, there are two more villages ahead, but they are both in salt land near the sea. Apart from some salted fish, there won't be any good stuff." A Mongolian leader who is familiar with the local situation asked Alutie Mu'er said.
"What's the place ahead called?"
Aru Timur raised his eyes and looked ahead and asked him.
"That place is called Tiger Beach." The Mongolian leader replied.
"Tiger Beach?"
This Laohu Beach faces the sea on both sides. Not only are there strong winds and waves throughout the year, but there are also frequent ice and snow disasters in winter. It is really a poor place.
Thinking of this, Aru Timur was no longer interested.
After all, if we go further, we have to climb at least two mountains.
If it weren't for his responsibilities, Aru Timur would not want to stay here any longer.
"Send a few people to inspect it, but I won't go there myself."
After saying this, Aru Timur turned the horse's head and walked back.
The general next to him immediately took the order, selected seven or eight Mongolian cavalry, and went to the Tiger Beach in front for a tour.
No matter you are rich or poor, you still have to squeeze out some benefits.
Alu Timur, the general manager of Liaonan, led his men back to a nearby city.
This city is called a city, but in fact it is not as good as the slightly larger landlord compounds in the Central Plains.
Liaodong is sparsely populated, so the city is certainly not large.
Arutemur returned to the city and just ate and drank, hugging two local maids who were rough and clumsy, and drinking with his subordinates.
Just when everyone was drunk and eager, an entourage of Alu Timur hurried in.
"Sir...no, this is bad!"
The entourage suddenly shouted and yelled, which instantly wiped away half of Alu Timur's happiness.
He had a displeased look on his face and scolded him angrily.
"What happened, you are so panicked?"
The attendant saw that Aru Timur was angry and hurriedly explained.
"General, the few people we just sent to Laohutan were attacked. Most of them were killed or injured. Only two people escaped!"
"What? Say it again?"
When Aru Timur heard this, he was immediately surprised and even doubted whether his ears heard it correctly.
With the poverty in the Laohutan area, those fishermen must be so stupid that they dared to kill their own Dayuan soldiers.
Besides, the most his soldiers can do is ask for some fish and shrimps. Do fishermen deserve to kill people?
"Sir, of the soldiers we sent, only two escaped." The attendant repeated with a grimace.
When the Mongolians in the room heard this, they all drew their swords and yelled, and they all went to kill all the lowly fishermen in Laohutan.
When the female slaves next to him saw this, they all shrank their necks and quietly moved away.
"Bring those two people over here." Aru Timur immediately said with a gloomy face.
He knew very well the level of these Mongolian cavalry athletes under his command.
Not to mention those untouchables in 'Laohutan' who only know how to farm and fish.
Even if they encounter Red Turban Army soldiers, they still have the strength to fight.
How could such a group of battle-hardened cavalry be killed by a group of lowly fishermen?
Soon, two disgraced men were brought in.
After seeing Aru Timur, the two Mongolian cavalry made a sound, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology.
"Who attacked you?" Aru Timur asked in a cold voice.
When the two Mongolian cavalrymen who escaped heard this, they looked at each other and then shook their heads together.
"Sir, we don't know who he is, maybe he is a red scarf thief."
"Sir, those people have muskets. Just one volley will kill most of us."
After hearing these two sentences, Aru Timur immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
If you can kill more than half of the people in one round of musketry, there will be no other Red Scarf Army.
"Is it really the red scarf thieves from the Ming Army?" Alu Timur frowned.
He immediately asked the two Mongolian cavalry who had escaped.
The two Mongolian cavalrymen who came back from escaping said.
After their group arrived at the Tiger Beach area, they found a new rammed-earth fortress in front of them.
At that time, a group of Mongolian cavalry felt strange and stepped forward to check.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they approached, more than a dozen muskets came out from behind the low wall of the originally silent Wubao.
Several Mongolian cavalrymen died on the spot, and two others were shot to death, and then fell off their horses. Before they could get up, they were shot by another burst of muskets, causing another mass of casualties.
Anyway, these two people ran away without looking back. As for the more detailed situation, I am afraid they can only wait for Aru Timur to check it out in person.
"waste!"
"Everything is trash!"
Aru Timur immediately cursed.
These two Hu Tudan didn't even see the enemy's face, so they ran back in such a mess.
After scolding, Aru Timur felt that it was not enough, so he rushed forward again and kicked them to the ground.
"Sir, please spare my life. At that time, I only heard loud shouts of killing from behind, and I didn't dare to look back."
After hearing these useless excuses, Aru Timur kicked them hard twice before giving up.
"Sir, would you like to go and investigate again?"
A Mongolian general immediately came up and asked.
When Aru Timur heard this, he waved his hand.
"No, I'm going to take a look for myself, General!"
"I want to see the red scarf thief who appears out of nowhere!"
After a while, hundreds of Mongolian cavalry were ready for battle.
Under the leadership of Alu Timur, the general manager of Liaonan, they marched towards Laohutan in front of them.
After a lot of galloping, we finally arrived at our destination when the sun was setting in the west.
"Sir, look, that's where it is."
The two 'deserters' who were responsible for bringing them stretched their arms and pointed forward.
Aru Timur's eyes followed the situation and saw a fortress on a gentle hillside under the setting sun.
The road below the hillside is exactly within the attack range of this fort.
Aru Timur looked carefully again, but he didn't want to be so angry that he felt a sudden surge of anger in his heart.
"Where did the thief come from? He's looking for death!" Alu Timur said fiercely through gritted teeth.
It turned out that Aru Timur took a closer look and happened to see a few fresh human heads hanging on the wall of the fort.
It was none other than the subordinates who were killed today.
"Sir, let us crush these thieves!"
Several Mongolian generals shouted angrily.
Aru Timur took a deep breath.
He already had some bad premonitions and could only try his best to suppress his impulse.
At this time, Aru Timur saw the fortress from a distance, and a red flag appeared from behind.
As the waving flag was gradually raised high, dense figures came out from behind the hillside.
Under the illumination of the setting sun, these soldiers who appeared in the long snake formation looked like divine soldiers bathed in the sky's light.
Aru Timur was stunned by the enemy that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Looking at the red flag, he couldn't help but murmured.
"Sure enough, it's the sun and moon red flag of the Ming army?"
"Sir, are these Ming thieves also here to rob?"
At this time, a Mongolian general said in surprise after hearing Alu Timur's words.
They never expected that the Ming army would cross the sea to sneak attack.
"No, they are not here to loot, they are here to grab territory!"
Aru Timur said with a serious expression.
If the Ming army came to Liaoyang to plunder the grass-grazing valley, they would definitely go to a wealthy city or around a village.
In that case, there will not only be food and money, but also many strong men and women.
As for Laohutan, there are not many living people at all. How could the Ming army come here to plunder.
Then there is only one possibility.
"These red scarf thieves are going to attack Liaodong!"
Aru Timur almost said these words through gritted teeth.
The fortress on the opposite hillside was obviously newly built, and the Ming army had already taken control of the surrounding roads.
As long as this fortress is built!
The area south of Laohutan is no longer within Dayuan's control.
At this time, all the Ming troops on the opposite side had completed their formation on the hillside.
Aru Timur squinted his eyes and made a quick estimate.
There were about a thousand people, but no cavalry was seen. Aru Timur knew that the Ming army also had many horses and there was no shortage of cavalry.
"Maybe their cavalry are hiding behind the hillside, waiting for me to attack, and then take advantage of the chaos to sneak up on me!"
Aru Timur immediately thought of the enemy's possible conspiracy.
Later, he sent out one of his Mongolian cavalry to ask questions in front of the Ming army.
Aru Timur thought silently in his heart that he would just find out the enemy's intention today. As for whether to continue fighting, he would let his brother Wang Baobao make the decision.
Under the gaze of hundreds of Mongolians in the distance, the bright sun and moon flag fluttering in the wind made a whirring sound.
Hu Dahai, who was under the banner, had piercing eyes... staring at the Mongolian rider running in front of him.
At this time, a subordinate next to him asked him.
"Sir, the Mongol Tatars are here. Do you want to shoot him?"
As he spoke, he shook the musket in his hand.
Hu Dahai rolled his eyes at him and said with some dissatisfaction.
"This is the envoy of the Tatars. They are dignified Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. It's too cold to attack the envoys secretly."
The subordinate had no choice but to put down the musket in his hand angrily.
At this time, the Mongolian riders holding white flags had also arrived at the bottom of the hillside.
They started shouting loudly from a distance of about dozens of steps.
"The General Manager of Great Yuan and Liaonan is here. Who is opposite?"
The Mongolian cavalry shouted first in Mongolian and then in Chinese.
"General manager of Liaonan? Who is he?"
Under the gaze of the Han soldiers on both sides, Hu Dahai took a step forward, walked to the front of the formation and shouted loudly.
When the Mongolian cavalry saw this, he knew that this should be the leader of the 'red scarf thieves'!
Then he shouted loudly at Hu Dahai:
"Alu Timur, the general manager of Liaonan in the Great Yuan Dynasty!"
Hu Dahai had heard of this name before, and he seemed to be the younger brother of the Mongolian Yuan general Wang Baobao.
"Alu Timur, that is Wang Baobao's younger brother."
"Now that Wang Baobao's brother is here, there might be Wang Baobao's army behind."
Hu Dahai immediately prepared to fight at any time.
"I am Hu Dahai, Marshal of the Ming Dynasty. I will go back and tell Alu Timur that from today on, Laohutan is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who dares to trespass will be shot to death!"
After Hu Dahai finished speaking, he pointed at the heads hanging on the dock not far away and shouted again.
"If you don't listen, this is what will happen!"
Afterwards, the Ming troops behind Hu Dahai raised their weapons high and mocked the victor.
The Mongolian cavalry did not react, but quickly turned their horses' heads and ran back.
"So, what is the origin of the red scarf thief opposite?"
Aru Timur asked immediately when he saw the cavalry coming back.
"Reporting to your lord, the red scarf thief opposite is called Hu Dahai!"
Immediately, the Mongolian cavalry repeated the brief conversation to Alu Timur.
After listening to this, the surrounding Mongolian generals all showed doubts.
"Hu Dahai, why have you never heard of him?"
"Marshal Hu Dahai? Where did he come from?"
Aru Timur snorted coldly.
"Hu Dahai?"
"Hmph, these red scarf thieves are too trusting, and they want an unknown person to deal with me?"
After Aru Timur finished speaking, he pointed to the mountains in the distance to the south.
"These red scarf thieves are just looking for death!"
"Sir, let's go back and mobilize our troops and crush them!"
Several generals yelled viciously.
Aru Timur did not answer immediately, but continued to ask.
"Can you find out how many soldiers and horses the enemy has?"
"The villain doesn't know!"
"Does the thief have cavalry?"
"I don't know either."
After getting two 'I don't know's, Aru Timur also lost interest in continuing to ask questions.
The Ming army on the opposite side occupies the only main road, and there are obstacles on both sides. If it extends to both sides, there will be rough seas.
"The enemy's situation is unclear and we cannot take risks. Let's withdraw first."
Aru Timur immediately left a dozen cavalrymen to continue monitoring, and then returned with his own guards.
With the mighty Mongolian cavalry coming, they left in disgrace, but Hu Dahai never relaxed his vigilance.
"Sir, the Tatars are scared away." A general shouted.
"No, they didn't scare away, they should have gone back to mobilize the army." Hu Dahai said.
"Brother Huayun, take a few people with you to drive away the thieves who are following you." Hu Dahai said.
With the sound of horse hooves, a dozen cavalrymen rushed out from behind the hillside and rushed straight towards the few Mongolian cavalry who stayed behind to watch.
Seeing that the Ming army came over without saying a word, the Mongolian cavalry were too frightened to continue to follow them, and they all ran north in unison.
"Sir, if the Tatars come with a large army, what will we do?" asked a general.
A look of disdain appeared on Hu Dahai's face.
"As long as we follow the instructions of His Majesty and the King of England and build the fortress here, it will be difficult for Wang Baobao to attack us."
After the Mongolian cavalry retreated, all the Ming army soldiers returned to their respective positions and started building fortifications.
At this time, several panic-stricken men came out of the woods not far away.
As soon as these people saw Hu Dahai, they immediately became a little excited.
"General, are all the Mongolian Tatars leaving?"
"Scared away by us?"
Looking at these panicked faces, Hu Dahai felt a sense of pride in his heart.
The fishermen here are actually Han Chinese in their ancestors. They have been oppressed by the Bohai people, Jurchens and Mongols for hundreds of years, so they were forced to hide in nooks and crannies like Laohutan.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
These Han fishermen were immediately moved to tears.
"That's great, that's great!"
"The sky has eyes, our Han army is coming."
These people continued to ask Hu Dahai.
"Sir, will those Mongolian Tatars come back in the future?"
Hu Dahai nodded with certainty and said: "Of course, Tatar general Wang Baobao is now in Liaoyang. If we seize Tiger Beach, we will definitely send Tatar soldiers to attack again."
When these common people heard this, their faces were full of panic.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Of course we do!"
After Hu Dahai finished speaking, he pulled out his saber with a clang, and then continued.
"We'll kill a few of the Tatars who come!"
The Han fishermen all looked embarrassed.
"But we don't have swords. Even if we did, we would definitely not be a match for the Mongolian Tatars."
Hu Dahai had already prepared for this, "Don't worry, the Ming court has already thought of it."
"We only need to repair the fortresses and fortifications here. Then no matter how many Mongolian Tatars there are, we guarantee that they will not be able to enter Laohutan."
"Okay, okay, then let's help you repair the fortifications immediately!"
"However, your manpower is still too few. I still need more people." Hu Dahai said.
"For those who come to build the fortifications, they are all required to eat three meals a day until the fort is repaired!"
Upon hearing such a generous offer, several fishermen who had been hungry all year round immediately expressed their agreement.
"Sir, if you go ten miles further north, there will be a large village. There are thousands of people on the mountain!"
"Then are you willing to lead the way?" Hu Dahai asked quickly.
What he lacks most now is manpower. He needs manpower to build the fortress at Laohutan, and he needs manpower to build the wharf at the seaside to transport supplies.
"It's okay to lead the way, but the place should be infested by Mongolian Tatars now, so it's very dangerous."
"With the protection of the Ming Dynasty's army, there is no need to be afraid of just a few Tatars!" Hu Dahai said, patting his chest.
After Hu Dahai seized Laohutan, Zhu Han immediately ordered Hu Dahai to be appointed as the commander of the southern Liaoning capital, responsible for building fortresses and establishing a base for future attacks in the Ming Dynasty.
Liaonan, Laohutan.
Hu Dahai was wearing a short coat at this time.
Drenched in sweat, he used an iron stick as thick as his finger to poke hard at the rammed earth wall.
"Peng!" A strong impact was transmitted from the iron sign to Hu Dahai's hand, numbing his palms.
The rammed earth wall faced such a heavy blow, but only a shallow hole was poked, and the hard iron stick did not penetrate even half an inch into the earth wall.
"Not bad."
Hu Dahai rubbed his slightly numb hands and nodded with great satisfaction.
The officers nearby saw this and let out a long breath.
"Sir, don't worry. I personally supervised the construction of this large section of earth wall. According to your instructions, every section has been recorded by a dedicated person. Every construction is done carefully, without any sloppiness."
When Hu Dahai heard this, he glanced at this subordinate with a smile.
"This section of the city wall is related to the defense and safety of Laohutan, so naturally we cannot be careless."
"If my iron pick penetrates even one inch of the city wall overseen by anyone, it will cost fifty army sticks!"
"If it penetrates even two inches, it will be immediately beheaded in public!"
After hearing the words 'beheaded in public', everyone shrank in fear.
Soon, Hu Dahai built a strong fortress at Laohtan in southern Liaoning.
Soon after.
As expected, when Aru Timur brought the army, everyone was shocked by the speed of the Ming army in building fortifications.
The defensive performance of this kind of fortification far exceeded the Yuan army's ability to attack fortresses.
Aru Timur also knew that it was definitely not easy for the Ming army to build these fortifications, but he still underestimated the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Relying on the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops brought this time, Aru Timur ordered the attack.
"Kill all these red scarf thieves!"
Aru Timur waved his hand and gave the order to attack.
Tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses roared like a mountain and a tsunami, and launched an attack on Hu Dahai's Ming army fortress.
At this moment, Hu Dahai seemed very calm.
"Instruct the entire army to attack the enemy according to the previously planned tactics!"
As Hu Dahai's order was passed on, the musketeers on the city wall fired their bullets one after another.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
Dense tongues of fire spurted out from the tower, knocking down the Mongolian soldiers who rushed up one after another.
"Haha!" Waves of hearty laughter echoed from the city wall.
"Brothers, work harder!"
"Kill the Tatars!"
"Fuck you to death!"
…
The Ming army generals around Hu Dahai were all in high spirits at this time!
In their eyes, the current Mongolian soldiers are nothing to worry about, so why should they be afraid of him?
Behind the Mongolian soldiers, Alu Timur was also observing the situation ahead.
The Mongolian soldiers and horses suffered heavy casualties in an instant, making Alu Timur very anxious.
"damn it!"
Aru Timur cursed angrily.
But now the critical moment has come, and retreat is absolutely not allowed, so Alu Timur gritted his teeth and ordered his cavalry to continue to advance forward.
"Peng! Peng! Peng!"
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Along with the fierce confrontation, both sides suffered losses from each other.
After all, the number of Mongolian soldiers was relatively large, so the Ming army's defense line was gradually oppressed. However, relying on the height advantage of the fortress, the Ming army still blocked the Mongolian soldiers' attack.
At this time, the artillery inside the Ming army's fortress finally showed its power.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Four huge iron balls hit the Mongolian soldiers in front, blowing up hundreds of people in an instant. This was just the beginning, as the Ming army's artillery fired one after another. After the explosion, the Mongolian soldiers suddenly became a mess.
"Stop the attack and return to where you were immediately!" Aru Timur ordered decisively.
If the opponent's artillery is allowed to continue raging like this, I'm afraid the entire army will be blown up. This is not what Aru Timur wants to see.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Our cavalry is not good, it is too slow, run away quickly!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
…
The Mongolian army began to become chaotic and even showed signs of fleeing.
"what to do?"
Aru Timur's face became more and more embarrassed.
He also knew that he was wrong. He underestimated the strength of his opponent, which resulted in such a situation.
"Sir! Retreat!" an adjutant next to him persuaded:
"Look at the heavy losses we have suffered now. It would be disadvantageous to continue to stay here!"
"Alas!" Aru Timur sighed.
.
.
"The Mongols escaped!"
Soon, the Ming army saw that the Mongols began to retreat.
Seeing the Mongols withdrawing their troops, many Ming army officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
The Mongols are nothing but mediocre!
The soldiers of the Ming army thought to themselves.
After receiving the news, Hu Dahai breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered: "Order the third battalion to guard the east gate, and the others will follow me to hunt down the Mongols!"
"yes!"
Many Ming army officers and soldiers agreed in unison.
Soon, Hu Dahai led the cavalry to rush out of the fortress.
Aru Timur returned defeated.
After bringing the news of the defeat back, Aru Timur's brother Wang Baobao was immediately furious.
But now that the Ming army has built fortifications, even if Wang Baobao personally leads the troops, there will be no good results.
"Brother, if you give me another 10,000 troops, I will definitely win this time!" The stupid Aru Timur was not willing to fail.
After Wang Baobao heard this, he was even more angry. He really wanted to chop off Alu Timur's head!
However, Aru Timur is Wang Baobao's biological brother. Even if Wang Baobao gets angry again, he cannot kill him.
"Brother, I beg you, give me 10,000 soldiers and horses!"
"Shut up!"
Wang Baobao cursed fiercely: "If I give you another 10,000 troops, can you capture the Ming people's fortress?"
"I……"
"Stop talking!" Wang Baobao waved his hand to stop what Alu Timur wanted to say: "Sooner or later, the people of the Ming Dynasty will deal with us, we just need to wait."
"But don't we have an army of fifty thousand?" Aru Timur said unconvinced.
When Wang Baobao heard this, he immediately became furious and said: "You trash, that 50,000 army is the foundation for our survival. If we lose it in Liaodong and go to the grassland in the future, do we have to look at other people's faces?"
"I..." Aru Timur still wanted to retort.
"Enough!" At this time, Wang Baobao couldn't stand it any longer. He shouted at Alu Timur: "We can't defeat them unless we dispatch five thousand elite soldiers."
"What should we do? Do we really have to wait to be beaten by them?"
Aru Timur's tone was filled with resentment.
Wang Baobao felt better when he saw that Aru Timur was silent, and continued: "Sooner or later, we will give up this place in Liaodong. There is no need to go to that poor place in southern Liaoning with the red scarf thieves. We just need to move everything in Liaodong." Let’s go, we will retreat to the grassland!”
Now that the Mongolian Yuan was completely defeated in the Central Plains, everyone already understood that the Mongols could no longer defend the Central Plains. It was the consensus of everyone to retreat to the grasslands to avoid the Ming Dynasty. Only fools like Alu Timur, Only then would they want to fight the Ming army in Liaodong.
Wang Baobao is now in charge of Liaoyang Province in order to prevent the Red Turban Army from making a surprise advance in Liaodong and cutting off the Mongols' northward retreat. Now that the Red Turban Army has no signs of continuing to attack Liaoyang, Wang Baobao does not want to provoke them anymore.
If you listen to this idiot Alu Timur's advice, once your soldiers and horses are damaged, you won't even have a chance to escape!
After Wang Baobao thought about it, he decided not to tell Alu Timur about his plan, lest he make a fuss, which would definitely cause trouble for him when the Ming army knew about it.
Wang Baobao continued: "Now...
Not only can we not fight desperately against the Ming army, we should also live in peace with them and buy us time. "
"What do you mean?" Aru Timur asked.
"We have to empty out all the people in Liaoyang. This will take time. We can send people to negotiate with Hu Dahai. We will give southern Liaoning to them in exchange for peaceful coexistence." Wang Baobao said while staring at Ah Dahai. Lu Timur.
Because once the Yuan Dynasty retreated to the grassland, there would no longer be as abundant manpower and material resources as in the Central Plains, especially population. For grassland tribes, population is strength. If hundreds of thousands of people from Liaodong were moved to the Mobei grassland , in order to ensure that Dayuan has the potential to counterattack in the future.
"Brother, I don't agree!" Aru Timur heard this and immediately objected fiercely.
"snort!"
Wang Baobao snorted coldly: "You have to agree even if you don't agree. Now we Mongolians are at risk of life and death, so we can't act on impulse!"
Under Wang Baobao's majesty, Alu Timur could only agree to it no matter how unwilling he was.
Yawenba
However, once peace is negotiated with the Red Turban Army and Liaonan is ceded to the Red Turban Army, Aru Timur, the general manager of Liaonan, will become a decoration.
