Chapter 96: Welcome to Death

In March of the fifteenth year of Zhengtong, Li Zhen, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, led three thousand camps to set out from the capital.

The three thousand battalions were all cavalry, and they did not carry their baggage. They traveled very fast. They passed through Juyong Pass and headed north. In half a month, they rushed for more than 2,000 miles to reach Yumuchuan.

Looking around, the river is gurgling, the plants are green, and the scenery is quite pleasant.

It’s a pity that such a beautiful scenery is about to usher in the baptism of artillery fire.

Deep in the desert, Yexian Central Army's tent.

"You reported to the Grand Master, the three thousand cavalry of the Ming army have already left the Great Wall!"

"Only three thousand men?" Ye Xian's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is there no movement on the little emperor?"

"According to spies lurking in Dadu, there were roughly 100,000 people in the Ming army set out this time, and they are still gathering."

Yexian pondered for a moment and said, "Call Boyan here!"

Soon, the door of the tent flirted and Boyan stepped in.

"Brother, I heard that the Southerners are gathering troops?"

In the battle of Tumu Fort, one eye was burned by the Ming army's lime powder, but now only one eye is left, which looks even more fierce.

He kept remembering this hatred, and just waited to wave his troops south again, vowing to pluck out the little emperor's eyes and avenge his previous shame.

Yesen nodded and said, "According to the Ma Lai report, the 3,000 Ming army cavalry have crossed the Great Wall and are heading towards the Yumuchuan area. This is an isolated army."

Hearing this, Boyan shone with one eye and said excitedly: "Brother, let me go!"

"The Southerners are extremely cunning. They suffered a loss last time. It is better to be cautious!"

"Don't worry, brother, I will never let their plan succeed this time!"

Yexian said again: "Tell me, how many people do you need?"

Boyan didn't even think and blurted out: "There are three thousand people in the Ming army, but I only need two thousand!"

Yexian shook his head and said, "Let's do this, I'll give you five thousand, and I'll fight quickly!"

"Brother is too worried. Two thousand people are enough to deal with those southerners."

"Why did you suffer a loss before? Have you forgotten so quickly?"

Yexian's face was heavy and said meaningfully: "After arriving in Yumuchuan, don't rush to attack first, try the virtuality and reality of the Ming army."

Boyan said with a little helplessness in his eyes, "Abide by the order!"

After saying that, he came outside the tent and ordered five thousand elite cavalry and rushed towards Yumuchuan.

He also thought for a long time, wrote a letter, then summoned his subordinates to come over, and ordered: "Go to Yingchang immediately and send this letter to Tutububuhua Dahan, and said that this Grand Master was preparing to convene the Huliletai Conference."

The Kulile National Congress was the most formal political and military parliament of the Mongols, used to elect leaders and decide on wars and other major events.

All the great khans of the Mongol Empire, such as Genghis Khan and Ogedei Khan, were elected by Kuliletai.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Empire, the Northern Yuan Dynasty split into Tatars, Oirat, Urianha and other tribes. The Tatars tribe has always been in the hands of the orthodox golden family. The current Khan is Tutuobuhua, and is nominally the Khan of the entire Mongolian one.

Logically speaking, such a meeting must be held by Tutuobuhua himself.

However, he had already wanted to compete with the Tatar tribe for strength. What kind of bullshit golden family is that they advocate force on the grasslands. Whoever has more troops will have the right to speak!

Therefore, he took this opportunity to propose to convene the Huller-Taiwan Conference, first, unite the grassland tribes to fight against the Ming army, and second, he also put pressure on Tutuobuhua.

If Tutuo Buhua is invited to participate, it means that Yesen's influence has surpassed his great khan.

On the contrary, if he did not participate, the other tribes could establish Yesen as Khan and completely replace the Golden Family.

The grassland was unobstructed, and the marching of five thousand cavalrymen was very fast. After seven days, they had arrived in Yumuchuan.

Following Yesen's instructions, Boyan found a place with water sources to camp and sent a camp to find out the information ahead.

Soon after, the visiting Ma came to report that the Ming army in front was the old rival Sanqian Battalion, and it seemed that it had just arrived and was camping.

Boyan weighed for a moment and issued a combat order directly.

This is not all because he is impatient, because he knows very well that his advantage is cavalry, and the strength of cavalry lies in its formation and speed.

Genghis Khan invented the wedge charge tactic to conquer the world and be invincible.

Specifically, the troops form a wedge shape, tear a hole in the enemy's formation, and then turn back to carry out the next round of charge. This wave of charge and shooting, usually after three waves, the enemy's formation has long been broken.

However, this tactic is only suitable for field battles, and it is difficult to capture cities and villages.

Now that the other party's camp has not been built, it is the best opportunity.

Opportunities are fleeting, and when they are constantly interrupted, they will suffer from chaos!

Boyan took the lead and led the team to charge.

Five thousand people were like a sharp sword, stabbing towards the Ming army that was not yet ready!

Cavalry vs. cavalry, no need to consider firearms, this is a battle of forces!

Today, I want you to repay the humiliation that Tumu Fort suffered twice the amount!

Li Zhen walked out of the camp and saw the Mongolian cavalry falling from the sky, with a smile on his lips.

"Arson ready!"

Twenty Franco cannons were lit out and aimed at the aggressive cavalry.

The weight of this kind of artillery is less than one-third of that of the general's cannon. After being disassembled, a horse can be carried.

Li Zhen measured the distance between the two sides, and the other party had reached the minefield arranged in advance in a blink of an eye.

"put!"

Twenty Fran machine cannons spit out flames, and fist-sized shells turned into arcs, smashing towards the whistling cavalry formation.

Boyan seemed panicked when he heard the roar that shook the sky.

Why are the 3,000 battalions still equipped with artillery?

At this point, retreating is impossible. Even if the opponent has artillery, at most one volley cannon at this distance.

I have 5,000 people, and even if hundreds or eighty die, it still does not affect the performance of the tactics.

Boom!

A shell slashed through the sky and suddenly burst out after landing. Iron pieces flew everywhere, and suddenly there were casualties and injuries.

Then...

Boom!

Boom!

Boyan had realized that this time the shell was not the original iron lump, but the flowering bullet!

The flowering bullet is powerful, but it often explodes the chamber, killing one thousand enemies and destroying two thousand of itself. Therefore, the Ming army rarely used it on a large scale.

But for some reason, this time he dared to take out the flowering bullet.

As the explosions rang out, the number of people who lost far exceeded expectations.

However, when he opened the bow, he did not turn around, so he could only continue to charge forward with his teeth.

Boyan secretly made up his mind that things had come to this point. Even if he was fighting for casualties, as long as he rushed to the other side, his advantage would still be on his side.

The cunning southerners, wait to welcome death!
