I am the king of the dead

Chapter 49

"Master, I am willing to lead two thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard, drive straight in, take the Zhangyi Gate, and lead the way." Yexian's younger brother Polo stood up, stood in the center, and shouted loudly.

He is Ye Xian's younger brother and a mother.

He followed and fought in the South and the North for more than ten years. He was known as the No. [-] Warrior in the World for Longevity. He glanced at Zhu Qizhen and said with a sneer, "I see that the Daming army is really vulnerable."

"Besides the Tumu Fort, I actually moved to the camp, but no one stopped me. I was charged twice by my horse army, and the people who charged turned their backs."

"And now the defenders of the capital dare to go out of the city to garrison, and garrison the civilian houses outside the nine gates. Don't you think that your old birthday star has been hanged, and you think you have a long life?"

When Zhu Qizhen was stationed in Tumu Fort, he was surrounded by the army of Yexian. At that time, the trenches in front of and behind the barracks were ten feet deep, and there were three bamboo sticks in total. turtle shell.

The Daming army and the Yuan army have been fighting for several years. Naturally, they know each other's weaknesses. It is the tradition of the Daming army to make a fortress. In the face of this tortoise shell, they are at first unable to do anything.

However, Zhu Qizhen ordered the camp to be moved for four miles, and the purpose of moving the camp was for water.

Civil servants headed by Minister of War Kuang Ye and military generals headed by British Minister Zhang Fu raised firm opposition to this order.

They have already sent fast cavalry to Xuanfu and Datong for help. As long as they hold on for two days, the army will arrive, and they will be able to break through the enemy and relieve the siege of Tumu Fort.

But the water in the army was getting less and less, and Zhu Qizhen asked Wang Zhenqiang to move the camp. He was really thirsty and couldn't stand it.

In the process of moving the camp, after Boyan Timur discovered it, he immediately rushed into the formation with tens of thousands of cavalry, and the Ming army in the process of moving the camp was rushed to pieces.

In the end, Zhu Qizhen was captured by Boyan Timur. On the other side of Polo, he failed to hold Zhu Qizhen's head. He has always been very resentful.

"Master, I would like to lead three thousand cavalry soldiers to stand up for Polo." The boy Pingzhang Shimao stood up. This man was extremely burly, with a big shoulder and a round waist.

Zhu Qizhen was glanced at by the boy, only to feel chills all over, and immediately shrank his body, which caused the generals in the middle tent to burst into laughter again.

Boyan Timur was another younger brother of Yexian, but he was not close to Yexian. He took four Han surnames for his four sons, and he was one of the few people who knew each other well among the Oara people.

Boyan Timur asked his daughter Moruo to serve Zhu Qizhen. According to reports, they got along pretty well.

To humiliate Zhu Qizhen like this, Boyan Timur had something to say, but in the end he didn't say it.

The winner will not be mocked and judged, and the loser is guilty of breathing in the world of immortality.

He also shook his head with a smile and said: "At that time, your ancestor, Ming Taizu Zhu Chongba once said that Dayuan has more than [-] years and his anger is exhausted. , enter the throne."

"Now that Daming has a greedy emperor like you, and such an arrogant and arrogant Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Qian, you are going to fight against me, Dayuan, in the wild. Daming should be exhausted."

Why do you say that Zhu Qizhen is greedy?
Because of the five words "Standing for a decisive battle".

Zhu Qizhen's order to be stationed in Tumu Fort was given by him personally, because he saw that Tumu Fort was open and convenient for the deployment of large troops, and it was a good place for decisive battles, so he was stationed in Tumu Fort.

After being stationed, Zhang Fu and others persuaded them many times to send elite cavalry to send Zhu Qizhen back to Beijing, and then the main force of the Ming army would fight against him.

However, Zhu Qizhen intended to fight decisively and stayed in the Tumu Fort. He couldn't dig water for three feet, so he moved the camp in order to drink water, which led to the final defeat.

Zhu Qizhen's intention of military adventure ruined more than [-] elites of Daming in Tumu Fort.

In fact, before the Tumu Fort was stationed, the Wara people set up ambush and won two great victories at Yaerling and Jiming Mountain. die.

The Tatar cavalry of the Ming Dynasty's own army, that is, the horse army, was already in two battlefields, with almost no casualties and no ability to fight decisively.

But Zhu Qizhen was not reconciled to the defeat, so he stayed in Tumu Fort and insisted on fighting this decisive battle, and he did not follow the advice of the generals in the camp, and he could not bear the hardships, and he could not endure for two days without water.

In the eyes of the Oara people, Yang Hong led the army to arrive, and the siege of Tumu Fort resolved itself.

However, Zhu Qizhen ordered the forcible relocation of the camp, which resulted in a great victory in the battle of Tumu Fort.

From the first point of view, after Yu Qian was appointed Minister of War, he inherited the arrogance of Daming, placing the army outside the city and guarding the nine gates, which is simply courting death.

"It's really courageous. My Dayuan is good at horse warfare, and I can fight decisively in the wild. Even the monarchs and ministers who have lost to Daming can come up with it!" Agadorji said with a sneer: "Master, I will lead the elite cavalry to patrol the city defense tomorrow, and explore the city defense. Know the truth, look for the weak point, and you will be defeated with a single blow.”

"Okay." He also nodded first. This rather sloppy pre-war meeting ended with a mockery of Zhu Qizhen's greed for merit, and a mockery of Daming's monarchs and ministers being beyond their own means.

They only felt that Yu Qian dared to go out of the city and rely on the houses to fight against them, which was very outrageous.

The geographical advantage of the city walls was artificially established, but Yu Qian dared to give up this biggest advantage and go out of the city to fight them decisively, which is really outrageous.

On October 14th of the [-]th year of Zhengtong, three days after starting from Zijingguan, the Oala army overwhelmingly marched from Miyun to the Xizhimen of the capital, and set up camp outside Xizhimen, spewing countless scouts to spy on the military.

When Zhu Qiyu got the news, he hurried to Zhangyi Gate. When he was standing at the head of Zhangyi Gate, the vanguard of the Oira people had already arrived.

It was also the first time that Zhu Qiyu saw the appearance of the battle formation. He stood in front of the Wufeng Tower in Zhangyi Gate, took out the telephoto mirror in his arms, and kept watching the enemy outside Zhangyi Gate.

Contrary to what he thought, he thought that the Oara people should be mainly machetes and cavalry.

However, the Oara people took the lead in posing a huge catapult that was several people tall, and dozens of general artillery seized in Tumu Fort were pushed to the forefront. Ballista car.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and looked at these catapults. After the fortified walls were cleared, there were still such large-scale siege equipment, and they were mad at first, but they still had a set.

Naturally, Zhu Qiyu also saw Yu Qian.

Yu Qian was in the house outside the Zhangyi Gate, along with the chief soldiers Shi Heng and Guangning Bo Liu An. The three of them gathered at the sentry tower and observed the formation of the enemy, as if they were discussing. What, then the three people disappeared into the house without a trace.

A loud arrow shot from under the city to a red wooden target in Wufeng Tower. Lu Zhong took two quick steps and took off the arrow's letter.

Lu Zhong ran in front of Zhu Qiyu with armor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the 77 cannons of Zhangyimen have been filled with ammunition, and Yu Shangshu sent someone to send a letter, ordering that after the enemy army rushed into the folk houses, immediately send them to the civilian houses. Abandon the cannons and bombard the houses."

"Precise." Zhu Qiyu nodded. Most of the front of the house was filled with all kinds of caltrops, fire and thunder, and there was no Ming army in it.

While Zhu Qiyu was still thinking about it, the stones on the iron frame of the trebuchet far away from the Orah people were actually sprinkled with fierce kerosene and ignited. The stone was thrown suddenly.

There were traces of black smoke billowing from the sky, and the stones fell heavily into the house with a whistling sound.

What followed was that the infantry was holding the plank on top of the trench, and the infantry was preparing to walk through the trench.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "The crossbow team listens, let it go!"

The Daming army's counterattack has begun. The eight-bow crossbow with one shot and three-bladed spear as the arrow has already been wound. Under Zhu Qiyu's order, the crossbow made a loud bang, and then black shadows were drawn in the air. After that, he headed towards the Wa Lai who stepped over the crossbow team.

With the three blades of the spear head, the spear and arrow drew blood rain one after another in the infantry team and nailed it to the ground.

The crossbow was crunched and wound up, and Zhu Qiyu watched the warriors marching through the trenches in the rain of arrows.

The flag-bearer beside Zhu Qiyu waved the flag heavily.
