The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Wusina did have some military talents, but these talents were not worth mentioning in front of Fu Youde or even Xu Huizu.

His thoughts had long been thoroughly analyzed by Xu Huizu.

Fu Youde's arrangement is a supplement to Xu Huizu's plan.

In fact, because they had never interacted with each other before, the two of them really overestimated Usna.

It was an unsurprising defeat, and there was no dispute about the war between the two sides.

The moment the Ming cavalry appeared, the outcome was already doomed.

In just two charges, the matchlock guns completely defeated the main force of Usna's heavy cavalry. Their proud armor could not stop the matchlock shots.

"Master Wanhu, run quickly, we can no longer resist you."

The Guards immediately shouted, and Usna panicked when he heard the sound, and could only run away quickly with the Guards Cavalry.

"My lord, remove your armor," the cavalry guard next to him reminded.

For safety, Usna and the Guards Cavalry are half-armored, which has both defense and speed.

But in the current situation, the half-body armor has an impact on their escape.

Wusina did not hesitate and directly cut off the connection between the armor and armor with a sharp sword. If he followed the normal steps, it would be impossible to take off the armor on the horse.

Besides, this armor probably won’t have a chance to be worn again, and it will definitely become a trophy for Ming Dynasty.

After nearly two hours of pursuit, the Ming army finally stopped.

Thousands of people were captured and thousands of enemies were killed, totaling over [-].

There was no way, these light cavalry ran too fast, and they were able to achieve such a big gain only because they were outflanked from both ends, otherwise it would be even more difficult.

At this time, Fu Youde and Xu Huizu had led the army and were approaching the direction of Timur's camp.

Because they are infantry, the speed is not too fast, and there is a lot of baggage, firearms, etc. included.

After all, nearly 30 troops were almost all infantry, and their speed was incomparable to cavalry.

Here at Timur's camp, Usna finally ran back.

And Cabest also knew the news.

"Five thousand cavalry, five thousand cavalry, what on earth are you doing!!!"

Cabest roared angrily.

Because Usna's heavy cavalry was almost completely wiped out.

The most important thing is that the previous five thousand cavalry were all cavalry from the Cabest family.

If only those who died were from other families, Cabest wouldn't be so angry.

Every heavy cavalry is a true noble. Even when they conquered Khwarezm, there were never such heavy casualties, and this was just an encounter.

"General, the Ming army's cavalry is too strong. Our heavy cavalry can't resist at all. Their firearms are so powerful that even the armor of the heavy cavalry can't resist them."

"Our warriors were completely unable to fight back under the charge of the Ming army's cavalry. They easily tore apart the cavalry defense."

"Their ten thousand cavalry are all heavy armored cavalry."

Wusina tremblingly reported the news about the defeat.

At this time, Cabest suddenly calmed down. He really felt the power of the Ming army's cavalry.

In the past, he had only been exposed to the infantry of the Ming Army, and he knew that he had no way to charge into the camp. The opponent's sophisticated muskets and powerful artillery had lost their effect on the previous cavalry tactics.

So since the Ming army arrived in Uzang, he has never had a head-on confrontation with the opponent.

At this time, a soldier came over to report that the army had moved camp and was now heading in the direction of their main camp.

Hearing this, Cabest said in disbelief: "Where is Beiyuan? How dare the Ming army move their camps? Is Beiyuan just watching, or have they been deceiving us?"

Wu Si said bitterly: "Brother-in-law, Bei Yuan's army has probably been defeated by the Ming army's cavalry."

"Although Beiyuan has [-] to [-] cavalry, I'm afraid they can't stop these Ming troops. They are too powerful. If Beiyuan doesn't have artillery, it's impossible for their camp to resist the Ming army."

Although this was Usna's guess, Cabest also thought of this.

Normally, Wusina would bring reinforcements to provide support. If Beiyuan was fine, he would definitely provide support.

There were so many cavalry in the Northern Yuan Dynasty that it was impossible for the Ming army's abnormal behavior to go undetected.

But the fact is that Wusina was attacked and no sign of Bei Yuan was seen at all.

There is only one result.

Thinking of this, Cabest made a bold decision.

When the Ming army arrived at Timur's camp, they suddenly discovered something was very wrong.

The news that came back from the horse exploration report was that the whole Timur camp was in chaos.

Worried about fraud, some cavalry were sent to investigate the situation.

The news that came back was that Beiyuan's cavalry army simply abandoned the slave army and ran away.

They took away all the food, destroyed the artillery they brought, and then all ran away.

There are only 10,000+ slaves left in the camp. "Damn it, they actually ran away like that?" Xu Huizu spat.

He was still thinking about a big fight, but the other party ran away.

Fu Youde couldn't help but say: "This coach of Timur is really quite capable."

To them, slave soldiers were completely worthless.

Moreover, many of these slave soldiers were captured in Tubo. Through the interrogation of the slaves, we learned that there were slaves like them in other places.

In other words, the opponent seemed to have sent out the entire army, but in fact only the cavalry was actually coming, and they had already been prepared to run away.

Facing such a cunning enemy, Fu Youde was also very helpless.

Tubo was too big, and the Ming army's cavalry were all heavy cavalry, so there was no way to pursue the light cavalry.

The key problem is that there is no nine-sided Great Wall to stop Tubo, and the opponent can come and go freely.

There is also the Mongolian ability to sleep on horses. Even if they are discovered, they can escape quickly.

When the Mongols invaded Central Asia, they relied on this method to swallow up the entire Central Asia.

For now, it was wise for Qin Shihuang to build the Great Wall. Without the Great Wall, the nomads would have had too great an advantage.

The next war against Timur can only become a tug-of-war.

When the news about Tibet reached the capital, it was already the winter of November.

"Grandson, winter is getting colder now. It feels like it was warmer in previous years, but now it's getting colder year by year."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

Of course, it was not cold in the palace, because each palace provided a considerable amount of charcoal.

Zhu Ying nodded and said: "What Liu Rixin said is probably happening continuously. If winter gets colder and colder every year, it will be a big test for me after the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and asked: "How long will it take for the railway to Jiubian to be built?"

"Dasun, you know, in our hearts, there has always been a very regretful thing, that is, we were not able to completely eliminate hidden dangers in the grassland."

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, we have always thought about when we can carry out the Northern Expedition, especially in recent years, when the Ming Dynasty's treasury has become richer and we can carry out attacks."

"We know in our hearts that Da Sun wants to seize Nanyang so that he can deal with the future possibilities mentioned by Liu Rixin, but in our hearts, we always put this matter on hold."

Zhu Ying was slightly silent.

He knew what the old man meant.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is almost completely in the hands of Zhu Ying. This is also because Zhu Yuanzhang continues to acquiesce and delegate power.

To put it simply, if Zhu Ying did not agree with the Northern Expedition, then even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to fight, there would be no way to start a fight.

There are many factors involved here, the biggest key among which is military power.

Although Zhu Ying did not train soldiers like a general, the Ming Military Academy he established was infiltrating the military power of the Ming Dynasty all the time.

It can be said that among the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, almost all middle-level officers were replaced by people loyal to Zhu Ying. When he passed an order, if the generals did not obey, they would be tied up immediately.

And too many veterans of the past have been gradually eliminated and retired.

The Ming Dynasty had 200 million troops, most of whom were garrison and field soldiers, and the real elite were the professional soldiers, which was what Zhu Ying was targeting.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The railway to Jiubian can be repaired before the spring of next year. Now that Beiyuan has given up the alliance, we can justifiably carry out the Northern Expedition."

"In the spring of next year, we will go north to the grassland and completely eliminate grandpa's worries."

Zhu Ying finally made this decision.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Okay, once the railway is completed, our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can continuously conquer the grassland. No matter how fast the barbarian horses on the grassland run, can they still defeat our army of one million people?" .”

"When the grasslands are pacified and the railway is built to the Western Regions and Tibet, our Ming Dynasty will have a few more government envoys."

The Northern Expedition that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted was not to conquer Bei Yuan, but to truly rule the grasslands.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not have had such an idea before, but with the train, the situation was very different.

The reason why the grassland cannot be completely eliminated has a lot to do with the cavalry.

Historically, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's many northern expeditions actually only weakened the vitality of the grassland and became the suzerain state of the grassland tribes.

But there is no way to truly rule the grassland.

It is too difficult for those nomadic peoples who live in pursuit of water and grass to completely surrender.

In fact, Zhu Ying wanted to accumulate national strength for another two years. Now that Ming Dynasty is taking off economically and undergoing industrial reform, two years is enough time for major changes to occur.

It will be much easier to hunt the grasslands in the future.

Don't look at the fact that Beiyuan is constantly threatening the Ming Dynasty. In fact, after taking the train, they will no longer be able to invade the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the rails connect the nine sides, no matter where Beiyuan comes to attack, he can easily provide support through the carrying capacity of the train, without having to worry about the safety of the border.

However, taking the initiative to sweep the grassland will cause great losses.

Just looking at the old man's expectant eyes, Zhu Ying agreed.
