The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 506 Possibility of Emperor Feng Liang King

When the cavalry from Daming's side appeared, Bei Yuan's main cavalry team also started to follow, and a confrontation began.

Even in the current situation, it is still in the semi-experimental stage.

The real decisive moment has not yet come.

On Beiyuan's side, there are all cavalry with extremely high mobility.

Whether it is fighting or retreating, there is a high degree of freedom of choice.

In contrast, the Ming army mainly consisted of infantry, with a total of [-] cavalry.

It is undoubtedly a dream to rely on 15 cavalry to hold down nearly [-] cavalry.

Both sides are looking for an opportunity.

Sapphire's eyes were also closely watching the changes in the battle situation.

The Ming army had to be more passive. Only by finding loopholes in the Northern Yuan cavalry could they besiege it.

At this time, a fast horse quickly entered the middle army.

"Report, the southern Great Wall has been recaptured by our army, please give instructions from the general."

Hearing this news, Lan Yu laughed and said, "Okay, immediately dispatch [-] troops to completely cut off Bei Yuan's retreat for this general."

"This time, General Ben will give them a catch."

"Notify the commander of the leading army that this time we must strictly guard against death. No matter how much the price is paid, Bei Yuan cannot be allowed to escape."

"The remaining cannons in the rear are all pulled over immediately. No expense is spared in gunpowder. We must hold back the main force of Bei Yuan."

Under Sapphire's order, a large number of soldiers in the rear began to make a detour along the side road.

This is the crux of the whole situation.

If it can form a pincer attack on Bei Yuan's army, it will represent a huge blow to the entire Bei Yuan.

For the current grassland, it is an unimaginable blow.

This achievement will once again enhance Sapphire's reputation, and this battle can be said to be stronger than the Battle of Yuerhai.

The battle of Yuerhai established the reputation of Duke Lan Yuliang.

If the main force of Beiyuan is completely taken down this time, then he, Sapphire, is truly the number one general of Ming Dynasty.

You must know that the current army of 15 can be said to be the location of all the main cavalry in the entire Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Defeating is one aspect, and the rich spoils are simply unimaginable.

If they can win a big victory, then as far as the border is concerned, at least another [-] cavalry can be added to start.

[-] cavalry plus the current [-] cavalry.

That is [-] cavalry.

The [-] cavalry is an absolute force in the entire grassland.

Furthermore, it is very possible to bring the entire grassland area notified by the Northern Yuan Dynasty under the direct rule of Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, in Lan Yu's mind, a hint from His Royal Highness Taisun suddenly came to mind.

As long as he can make great contributions again, it is not impossible to take a step forward.

Now he is the Duke of Liang, and if he goes up, he is the King of Liang.

Be king.

Besides, the current prince has the power to establish a country overseas.

This also means that he can establish a country of his own just like Yan Wang Zhu Di, Jin Wang Zhu Wei, and Qi Wang Zhu Yu did in Japan.

From Lan Yu's point of view, if His Highness Taisun really sealed him, the most likely possibility would be in the grassland.

For the Central Plains, the grassland is indeed very barren.

But being a king is a completely different concept.

This also means that his descendants and grandchildren will all belong to the lineage of Prince Daming.

Even if His Royal Highness Taisun granted his own country not in the grasslands, but in other places, it doesn't matter.

At that time, with my own situation, I can't expand outward.

Cracking the soil and sealing the border, the name will last forever.

Just thinking about it, Sapphire's mood became extremely excited.

People always have goals and dreams, which are the most primitive motivation. For Sapphire now, it seems to have returned to a few years ago, with the passion of Peng Bai.

The news that the back road was cut off soon became known to Bei Yuan.

At this point, there won't be too much difference.

"Khan, we must guard the gap in the Great Wall. If it is repaired, it will be an extremely critical issue for our army's retreat."

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Elebek also realized the seriousness.

After a little hesitation, he ordered Guilichi to lead the tribe to make a return visit.

This proposal was immediately opposed by Minister Bei Yuan.

From the perspective of the Beiyuan Minister, it is absolutely a terrible move to hand over the retreat of the Beiyuan court to the tribes on the grassland.

If Guilichi doesn't try his best to make a return visit, he will give up guarding the Great Wall and retreat into the grassland.

Then for the Northern Yuan court, it was in danger of annihilation of the entire army.

Minister Bei Yuan's words were said in front of Gui Lichi, and it was clear that he didn't trust him.

In this regard, Guilichi did not say a word.

Because normally, they would not choose to do so.

Eleboke has a reputation for being stupid in history, but in fact every emperor has been taught by many cultures since childhood.

Especially those like Eleboke who were born in Yuandadu, Central Plains.

He carefully looked at Guilichi, the minister of Beiyuan, and the many tribal leaders and nobles around him.

Then he said: "This war is not fought by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, nor is it to accomplish a certain goal or idea of ​​the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"He is the war of all the warriors on the prairie, and it concerns all the people of the prairie."

"If you lose, it will be difficult for Ming's goods to reach the grassland in the future. Even the cheapest coarse salt will be more expensive than snowflake refined salt."

"The cattle and sheep of all the tribes can only be sold to Daming at the cheapest price in exchange for the meager rations."

"If Daming is really ruthless, even cattle and sheep will not be bought on the grassland, and our people will not even have any possibility of trading."

"This is to trap the people of our entire grassland to death on the grassland."

"That's why, this battle must be won. If you don't win, you will never see the prosperity of the grassland again. Even if you bow your head to Da Ming, will Da Ming readily agree at this time?"

Having said that, the leaders of all the tribes, the nobles, lowered their proud heads in front of Eleboke.

Perhaps many people used to look down on Elebake very much, and even despised him in their hearts, thinking that he was just like the Central Plains Dynasty, a subjugated emperor.

But today, Eleboke's words have been recognized by all grassland tribes.

Because he is really fighting for the entire grassland.

Eleboke looked at Guilichi and said, "I have to admit, as far as the current grassland is concerned, you have the eyes of an eagle and the wisdom of a wolf."

"Even if it's me, I can't match you in commanding troops to fight."

"I believe you will understand the importance of this return to defense. The 15 warriors here are my last hope in the grassland."

"If everything is lost here, then tomorrow's grassland sky will be the ruler of Ming Dynasty."

"At that time, all the battles will be meaningless. Even if there is no Northern Yuan Dynasty, you will not get the support of the grassland."

"It can only be like a defeated lone wolf, keeping away from Daming."

Hearing this, Guilichi knelt down towards Elebok, touched the ground with his forehead, kissed Elebok's boots with his mouth, and made an oath to Changshengtian.

"Honorable Khan, Guilichi will be your most loyal servant, the most powerful spear and shield. He will surely take down the Great Wall and guard the back road for my grassland army."

"No matter how many Ming troops there are, they will not shake the gap in the south of the Great Wall. Guilichi will be there, waiting for the news of Khan's victory."

No one expected that Guilichi at this moment was actually the first tribal leader who truly surrendered to Eleboke.

And Eleboke also laughed, and directly assigned [-] cavalry to obey Guilichi's orders.

Adding the more than 1 cavalry that already existed, it is equivalent to Guilichi now having [-] cavalry.

The [-] cavalry defending the gap in the Great Wall will naturally not be under too much pressure.

Guilichi's return to defense will be faster than that of the Ming army.

In other words, Guilichi should have regained the gap in the Great Wall before the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty arrived.

The war that takes place there will completely affect the changes in the entire situation.

After Guilichi left, Eleboke's attack became more and more fierce.

Different from conventional battles, the Northern Yuan army has no possibility of retreating, and their success or failure depends on this.

The cavalry charged more and more frequently, and the casualties on both sides continued to escalate.

For Bei Yuan, this could be said to be the final national war.

Because of their faith, the cavalry on the grassland became more and more aggressive.

Because they are different from Daming, they already have no way out.

All the cavalry were told before today that if this war cannot be won, the grassland will be directly defeated in the future.

For Da Ming, even if he loses this battle, it doesn't really matter much.

Because after the Great Wall, there are major cities.

With the defense of the city, let's say it's this year, even if we fight for another day or two, we don't worry about the possibility of defeat at all.

The establishment of various fortifications, coupled with the fact that today's Beiyuan has been defeated due to previous defeats, has led to the lack of a large number of infantry.

In terms of siege, it has become very weak.

Because of the different beliefs, the balance of victory seemed to begin to tilt towards Bei Yuan's side.

The situation began to become unfavorable for the Ming army.

This made Sapphire frown.

There is a saying that the mourning army must win, and this is the situation in Beiyuan now.

Now there are two choices in front of Sapphire.

One is to continue to fight with the Beiyuan army, seek a change in the situation, and win a big victory.

Another option is to start retreating to the city for defense.

As long as a period of delay passes, as the weather changes and the cold intensifies, the Northern Yuan army will naturally retreat.

The second option is more secure, but Sapphire is more inclined to the first option.

Because only the first option will have the possibility of allowing him to truly ascend to the sky again.

After hesitating a few times, Sapphire's eyes became cold and severe.

The order said: "Order the whole army to stand firm for half an hour before starting a full-scale counterattack."

"The [-] cavalry each launched an attack on the enemy from the flanks, and the musketeers, under the cover of the sword and shield hands, directly hit the enemy's central army."

"Order the military discipline officer to supervise, and anyone who refuses to advance before the battle will be killed immediately."

There is a saying that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die.

In the previous time, Lan Yu's choice was to minimize the casualties of the Ming army, forming a slow approach to the Northern Yuan army.

It's just that it's getting to the point where it's getting hotter now, and it's going to be a tough battle.

Kindness does not hold soldiers.

When Lan Yu issued this order, she knew very well in her heart that a large number of soldiers of the Ming army would inevitably die in battle this time.

There is no other way.

Different from the Yuyuerhai Battle back then, today's battle is full of cavalry with strong faith.

Only by fighting to the death can there be victory.

It is also possible to defeat Beiyuan in one fell swoop.

After His Royal Highness Taisun embargoed the grassland, this side will destroy the elite of Bei Yuan, then the grassland will no longer be a worry for Daming, and will become devastated.

"Brothers, the general has an order to defeat the prairie barbarians in one fell swoop."

"Now the retreat of the grassland barbarians has been cut off by our people, and the grasslands are pacified in one fell swoop."

"Follow me to kill!!!"

There were roars of anger from the Ming army, and the simple words let all the soldiers of the Ming army understand that meritorious service is just around the corner.

The strong morale suddenly exploded, and the front row of swords and shields carried a large shield and charged towards the cavalry team on the opposite side.

Soldiers with long swords charged along with the sword and shield hands.

Soldiers can fight cavalry in close combat only by the closeness of sword and shield hands.

The gunners behind all lit the matchlocks in their hands, reloaded the ammunition, and followed the sword and shield hand.

The Ming army cavalry on both wings swarmed up, trying to cut off the opponent's Beiyuan cavalry from the left and right sides, restrain the Beiyuan cavalry's roundabout combat, and force them to engage in a frontal battle with the infantry.

Mongolian cavalry don't have long guns, only scimitars and soft bows in their hands.

This kind of military formation is the biggest restriction on the Mongolian cavalry. In hand-to-hand combat, the infantry is not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry.

Facing such a scene, Elebok, who was a great sweat, became serious.

Immediately ordered the cavalry in the front row to block the Ming army's charge.

Then the other cavalry army encircled and suppressed the cavalry attacked by the Ming army's flank.

As long as the blocking of the Ming army cavalry is broken, then for Bei Yuan, the threat from the infantry side will not be fought. They have enough horsepower to drag the Ming army infantry to death.

The Mongolian iron cavalry that once straddled the Eurasian plate was invincible based on this method of warfare.

Ten thousand cavalry killing one hundred thousand infantry is just a breeze.

Sapphire looked at the large number of cavalry dispatched and smiled coldly.

Finally, the chance to find each other.

What he was most worried about before was that the opponent's main cavalry stood still, forming a deterrent.

To make a charge, and even press all the cavalry, is to increase the distance between the infantry and the cavalry.

You know, the stop of infantry is much simpler than that of cavalry.

The charging horse does not mean to stop if it wants to.
