The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 502 The Imminent War
Bei Yuan couldn't afford it.

Especially in this winter.

The severe cold of the grassland has caused many people to starve to death and freeze to death.

At this time in previous years, the tribes in the grassland had already bought enough food and hid in the big tent for the winter.

But today you are under the call of Beiyuan Khan, and all the tribes are mobilized.

This time, the Beiyuan was united like never before. All the nobles knew very well that if they could not break the blockade of the Ming Dynasty at once, then the days to come would become very difficult.

Their good life will be gone, and all the things they enjoy every day will become extremely expensive.

A large number of clansmen can't even find women, and they can't reproduce more offspring.

The price of coarse salt now may be even higher than that of snowflake salt, and the medicinal materials are even more unimaginable. A large number of clansmen will die due to various diseases.

Once a plague occurs, it will be a disaster for a tribe or even multiple tribes.

So even if it was for themselves, they had to break the blockade of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, it is to make the Ming Dynasty subdued.

"This time, our warriors are full of strong beliefs. Longevity will take care of our grassland."

"Da Ming will definitely be punished by Changshengtian this time."

In the central tent of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, nobles from various tribes gathered together. The huge tent was full of people, a large number of fires were raised, fat cattle and sheep were continuously roasted, and then distributed to many nobles. .

They greedily tasted the taste of the food, because if the blockade of the Ming Dynasty could not be broken, the already expensive seasoning on the barbecue might be something that many nobles present could no longer afford.

Thinking that they will only be able to eat rough salt in the future, the hearts of many nobles are full of anger.

The ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty looked at these nobles with only contempt in their eyes.

In the big tent, there was a clear distinction between the courtiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the nobles of the tribes. In the minds of the courtiers of the Beiyuan Dynasty, the nobles of these tribes were nothing more than uncivilized barbarians.

As the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Eleboke also seemed very indifferent to the tribe.

Even if he lost control of the Central Plains, the etiquette and knowledge he learned from Yuan Dadu since he was a child, even when he returned to the grassland and looked at these former tribesmen.

There will still be a high sense of superiority.

However, it is not a banquet at present, but a meeting of the highest level of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is similar to the court meeting of the Ming Dynasty.

The emergence of barbecue is also due to tribal aristocrats.

In the face of the tribal nobles who ate meat and drank heavily, all the courtiers on Beiyuan's side just tasted it, and this performance made Eleboke very satisfied.

This conference can be regarded as an encouragement to those who have made meritorious service in the tribe.

The battle lasted for five days, and the battle situation was tense, which was very unfavorable to Bei Yuan.

"This time, I specially want to reward a warrior, and that is the leader of the Qierjis tribe, Guilichi."

Following Eleboke's opening, the big tent suddenly fell silent.

And Guilichi stepped forward calmly.

At this time, Eleboke had no idea that the one who ended the ruined yuan in history was Guilichi in front of him.

And a few years later, he was also defeated by the person in front of him, and died at his hands.

"Dear Khan, this is what I should do."

Gui Lichi stroked his chest and bowed his head and said.

It's just that the eyes are a little erratic.

As the Qierjisi tribe, Guilichi has always denied the suzerainty of Elebok.

He felt that Elebok, who grew up in the Central Plains, was no longer a warrior on the grassland, and was no longer favored by the Longevity Heaven.

The entire Bei Yuan was nothing more than a group of remnants and defeated generals.

Guilichi has his own ambitions. The mighty Kirghiz tribe already has a large number of warriors. As long as he occupies a few more tribes, he will be able to have the strength close to Elebok.

Although in terms of generals and armaments, the current own tribe is far behind Erebek's iron cavalry.

But he had seen Elebek's [-] cavalry before, and dismissed them.

These iron cavalry grew up in the pampered Central Plains for a long time, and they no longer have the glory of grassland warriors.

The warriors under his command are all brave and good at fighting, even if their armaments are much worse, one can beat three of him.

If it wasn't for Daming's sudden blockade of the grassland this time, after a few years of annexing several tribes and growing stronger, the rule of Can Yuan on the grassland would inevitably be overthrown.

It's just a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Under such circumstances, only by uniting and abandoning previous prejudices can we gain room for breathing.

Even he didn't expect that this time, Daming would be so straightforward and completely block the grassland, so that the previous plan had completely come to nothing.

Surviving the catastrophe ahead is the key.

"Gui Lichi, among the many warriors, the warriors of your tribe are the most powerful. I heard that in the past few days, you led your tribe to take down five gaps in the Great Wall, and killed hundreds of people from Daming. Soldiers, there are more than 100 sets of armor just snatched back."

"There are also more than 100 matchlock guns that Daming relies on most now."

"I will reward you with all these things, and in this war against Daming, I will cancel the suzerainty over you. Everything that your own tribe has robbed will belong to you."

Elebek obviously also made a big concession, which caused an uproar among the other tribal nobles present.

As the ruler of this grassland, Bei Yuan has suzerainty.

And the biggest one in suzerainty is the collection of spoils from subordinate tribes, which is similar to the concept of tax collection in Ming Dynasty.

Especially in a big battle like this, according to the suzerainty, Eleboke could take half or even more than half of Guilichi's spoils.

But this time I gave up.

Guilichi immediately prostrated himself on the ground: "Thanks to the great Elebok Khan, the Qierjis will become your sharpest spear, piercing Daming's heart fiercely."

In fact, Guilichi also knew that Elebek was flattering and even isolating himself, but of course Guilichi couldn't bear such a big temptation.

Agreeing that this also meant that, in future wars, his tribe would be sent into the toughest places.

Guilichi is not afraid of this.

He wants the warriors of his own tribe to undergo blood and fire transformation in battle after battle, and become the most powerful tribe on the entire grassland.

"These prairie barbarians are really not afraid of death. Not to mention starting a war in such cold weather, they are all brave enough to die."

"What are you afraid of, no matter how many people he comes, can he still break our Great Wall, let alone 20 cavalry, even if it's 20 more, I don't think it's enough to kill, I killed it yesterday There are almost 400 cavalrymen, and 180 seven horses have been captured, how is the situation on your side?"

"I'm not as lucky as you, but I also captured 120 horses, hehe."

"Good guy, just now I saw your frowning face and thought you had nothing to gain, but I didn't expect there to be so many."

"Oh, isn't this much less than yours?"

The two familiar Qianhu walked and chatted.

At present, Ming Dynasty's casualties are extremely low. If one or two thousand people died in such a war, it is really nothing.

If the slave army is counted in Beiyuan, tens of thousands have already died.

Even if we only talk about the prairie cavalry, there are seven or eight thousand people.

This is equivalent to the cavalry strength of several tribes.

This is because of the bravery of the Guilichi tribe, there has been a certain breakthrough, otherwise the loss will be even greater.

For the military officer, the most valuable prairie cavalry is the horse.

Not capturing a war horse is a great achievement, and it is a very important item when discussing meritorious deeds and rewards.

Of course, it seems that one or two hundred horses is not a lot, but in the case of being distributed to a thousand households, it does not seem to be a lot, especially based on the current calculation of Daming's credit, but anyone who goes to the battlefield must be distributed .

Even if it is an auxiliary soldier, it will enjoy a certain share, even if this share is very small.

But for the soldiers, these are completely extra rewards.

At this moment, a military meeting is also being held in the camp where Sapphire is located.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang be afraid of Lanyu, and why did he insist on killing more than 5000 officers in the Lanyu case.

At this point, the current sapphire embodies the most vividly.

After Lan Yu appeared, all the soldiers in the big tent sat upright. When Lan Yu walked to the main seat, all the generals respectfully clasped their fists and bowed, and said in unison: "Greetings, Great General."

This kind of style, it is the commander-in-chief who is usually transferred, how could it be possible to have such power.

And Sapphire has long been accustomed to everything that happened in front of her.

At least half of the people in the camp here are veterans who have participated in the Battle of Yuerhai with Sapphire.

Because of one great achievement, there are a lot of promotions.

And some of them were once Chang Yuchun's subordinates.

Not only is she not unfamiliar with Sapphire, but she is even very familiar with her.

The other small part, even if they have not had direct contact with Sapphire, but when Sapphire appears, people's names and tree shadows are already very respected in their hearts.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid of sapphire.

We must know that this kind of scene is not only in Liaodong Town, even in the other nine sides, the general situation will be like this.

As for the orders given by Sapphire, none of the generals would question them.

After Sapphire sat down, many generals took their seats.

After looking around, Lan Yu said: "The current war with the grassland is very powerful for us. The longer it drags on, the greater the blow to the grassland will be."

"Our soldiers can be healed quickly, and there are hot soup and hot water for their use, but the barbarians on the grassland, they can only shiver under the cold winter."

"This point, whether it's us or Bei Yuan, is very clear in our hearts."

"The general thought that the gathering of so many soldiers and horses in the grassland this time is to quickly break through the Great Wall checkpoints and invade our Central Plains land."

"While plundering and plundering, I want me, Daming, to lift the blockade on the grassland."

"Before the departure of the capital, His Royal Highness Taisun issued a special decree. For this battle on the grassland, only victory is allowed, and no defeat is allowed."

Having said that, Sapphire's tone became serious.

"After these few days of probing, Bei Yuan will definitely gather all his forces to fight hard, and want to directly tear a gap from our defense line. Therefore, the investigation of Bei Yuan's Central Army is particularly important."

"From now on, all scouts in Liaodong Town will go out together. No matter how much it costs, they must also scout out the direction of the Beiyuan Central Army."

"For Bei Yuan's attack this time, we must firmly catch it."

"As long as we catch this blow, then for us, this war will be regarded as a victory."

"You all understand."

When all came, he cupped his fists and said, "I will understand at the end."

On the next day, the battlefield became even more tragic.

Bei Yuan promised a lot of benefits, and the future of his own tribe was also tied to this battle, so all the warriors of the tribe worked harder.

And Bei Yuan's iron cavalry was dispatched for the first time.

Beiyuan iron cavalry is said to be one hundred thousand, but in fact, there are not so many cavalry who really followed from the Central Plains.

With the destruction of the 10,000+ main force in Yu'erhai, Canyuan's side was supported by only [-] to [-] cavalry, and then the new cavalry absorbed from the grassland.

However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so even a remnant yuan still has a lot of good things in his hands.

The most valuable among them are tens of thousands of armors.

For the battlefield, the sword must be sharp, but the most important reason why a general can run rampant on the battlefield is pride and armor.

These armors belonged not only to generals, but also to ordinary cavalry, and they were also extremely rare.

Even with this power, Bei Yuan can still rule the current huge prairie territory even though Bei Yuan has been defeated repeatedly.

Other tribes must also obey the rule of Beiyuan.

When the Beiyuan iron cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the grassland cheered immediately.

As for Daming, he should be much more serious.

At present, most of the prairie cavalry basically have no defense except for the fur to keep out the cold.

But the armored cavalry is quite different.

First of all, the damage caused by bows and arrows and firecrackers has been greatly reduced. After 50 meters, even if it is a hit, it is hard to say that there is no damage at all.

Furthermore, the archery and equestrian skills of these iron cavalry must be at a first-class level, much better than that of Daming.

Enough to create a strong deterrent.

"It finally came out, otherwise this general thought they were going to be shrinking turtles."

Lan Yu sneered, and then shouted: "Command Duo Yanwei to leave the customs immediately to meet the enemy."

To fight the Mongols, it is naturally the smoothest to use the Mongols.

Duoyanwei is commonly known as Wuliangha Sanwei.

They are Duoyanwei, Tainingwei and Fuyuwei.

Among them, Duoyanwei is the most powerful, also known as Duoyan Sanwei.

A gap had already been opened in the Great Wall, and when the Beiyuan cavalry wanted to charge, Duoyanwei quickly caught up.
