Daming: From the end of Hongwu

413 Chapter 411 - The Blood Stained River
In a few days.

While searching for the traces of the Tatars, Zhu Di led his army slowly along the Yinma River, passing through Pingmo Town, Cangshanling, Jinping Mountain...

On the ninth day of May, the Sentinels finally found a small wave of Tatars, and this wave of Tatars seemed to have no intention of fighting. After seeing the Ming army, they turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

Seeing this, the sentinel immediately chased after him, the horseshoes splashed on the green grass, and the arrows flew. After a hard chase, they managed to capture a few prisoners, and then returned to the camp excitedly.

When Xue Lu heard about this, he immediately interrogated him.

He was overjoyed by the results of the interrogation.

There was a conflict within the Tatars. Benya and Alutai had divided their troops and fled towards the northwest and northeast respectively. What's more important was that these captives knew some routes of Benya's escape.

This made Xue Lu both pleasantly surprised and suspicious. He interrogated several captives separately, and found that the captives were right in everything they said, and sent people to investigate along the route of Benya's escape. Then, when the scouts came back to report that they had indeed found Benya's escape, Xue Lu couldn't bear it anymore, and took some prisoners to Zhu Di that night.

Xue Lu rode fast all the way to Zhu Di's tent.

After Zhu Di listened to Xue Lu's report, he immediately jumped up excitedly from his seat.

His eyes shone with brilliance, as if he was saying, heaven pays off, he finally found it.

But after Zhu Di was excited, he still asked cautiously.

"What about the captives? Have they been interrogated separately? Have you sent someone to investigate along the route?"

Xue Lu clasped his fists and said: "I will interrogate all of them separately. Several people said that there is no flaw, and they have sent scouts to investigate, and indeed found the traces of Ben Ya's escape, and now I have brought all the prisoners. Here, His Majesty can call in for interrogation at any time."

"Okay!" Zhu Di's eyebrows flashed in thought, and then his eyes became fixed, and he first ordered to the soldiers: "Hurry up and report, let Zhen Wu and the other generals come to see me soon."

Afterwards, Zhu Di ordered the captives to be brought into the big tent, and conducted a detailed interrogation again.

Sure enough, the result of the interrogation was no different from Xue Lu's report.

Just when Zhu Di's excited eyes were shining again and again, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from outside the big tent.

Soon.

Zhen Wu and others all gathered in Zhu Di's big tent.

At night, Zhu Di suddenly called them over, and Zhen Wu and the others naturally understood that there must be some important matter to discuss, so everyone looked at Zhu Di solemnly and expectantly.

Zhu Di gestured to Xue Lu, Xue Lu nodded, stood up and told him all the information he knew in detail.

After all the generals heard about it, their faces all lit up with joy.

They had been on the road for three months since they set off from Peiping in February, and the militant in everyone's heart had already become a little restless.

Now that there are traces of Tatars, this is simply the time for soldiers to serve the country and make meritorious deeds.

Zhu Di raised his finger to Zhen Wudao: "What do you think?"

After a brief thought, Zhen Wu looked at Zhu Di confidently and said, "Your Majesty, since we found the trace of Benya's disappearance, we must not let it go. No matter what, we should taste the sweetness first, and Benya's disappearance According to our many years of understanding, there are at most 8 or [-] people. They plus the old, young, women and children will definitely not be able to move fast, especially since their number of fighters will never exceed [-], but our army can be assembled in one day. With one hundred thousand elite cavalry, it is absolutely possible to chase after them and eat them in one bite."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu thought that he could lead thousands of troops to gallop across the grassland again, and his invincible combat power would be able to play a role again, his heart suddenly became hot, and he couldn't help but arrogantly said for a while: "One hundred thousand to fifty thousand, don't say they are just Tatars, even if the heavenly soldiers and generals come down to earth, I dare to smash them to pieces. If this kind of wealth war cannot be won, I will wring their heads off and give them as pawns for children." A urinal is more useful than a living."

Zhu Di nodded and said: "That's right, I think the same as I do. We will send the Tatars without division of troops, and we will also send them with divisions. In short, the purpose of this time is to completely paralyze the Tatars, so that they will be relieved for decades. But come on."

Then Zhu Di looked around at the other generals and said, "What do you think?"

The other generals immediately started talking in a hurry.

Everyone comes and goes with the same meaning.

Go after him and kill him.

They don't want to let go of flies, let alone people.

At this time Zhen Wu suddenly stood up again, he coughed a few times and said: "Everyone stop, don't rush to make noise, let me say a few more words."

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Zhen Wu.

They thought that Zhen Wu would say some serious suggestion again, but Zhen Wu said a word, which blackened everyone's face.

I only heard Zhen Wu say to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to me. You lead the army and take a few others to rest here. Bring all the cattle, sheep, horses, women and children back to you."

There was a moment of silence in the big tent.

Xue Lu, Zhang Wu, Zhu Neng and others all looked at Zhen Wu with displeasure.

Well.

Everyone is discussing whether to fight and how to fight.

Why did you start asking for a fight.

Just as Zhu Neng was about to speak, Zhu Di took the lead in scolding with a displeased face.

"What the hell do you want to eat? I came all the way here, and you think I am traveling? Why don't you tell me to go back to Fengtian Temple and sit, grandma, with me here, it's your turn to do such a good thing? "

Zhen Wu suddenly looked like a bitter melon, pretending to be pitiful and wanting to fight for it again.

When Zhu Di saw it, he immediately snorted coldly and said, "Don't show me this grievance. I will take you there quickly at most. Grandma, you dare to fight with me."

As soon as these words fell, Zhu Di was unexpected.

Zhen Wu immediately opened his eyes and smiled, as if the grievance just now was all a fake, only to hear Zhen Wu excitedly say: "That's fine, that's fine."

Speaking of this, Zhen Wu looked around at the generals and said, "It's just that I will go with your majesty, the army... the army... there must be someone who can control it, your majesty, see who you choose to stay ?”

When Zhu Neng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

fuck.

It seemed like he had been fooled by Zhen Wu's dog again.

Because apart from Zhu Di and Zhen Wu, he is the most suitable person to lead the army to stay behind, and most importantly, it stands to reason that Zhu Di should also take him to pursue it. It is only in accordance with the rules to leave Zhen Wu to guard the army. General of the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, Zhu Neng became even more angry.

dog day.

Not so bullying.

Just as he was about to speak in a hurry, Zhu Di's voice sounded: "That's true."

Following Zhu Di's voice, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Neng: "You stay, you shrink the five armies to defend, and at the same time send more scouts to investigate Arutai, which is fleeing to the northeast. Ride to destroy Benya and lose face."

"Your Majesty." Zhu Neng shouted unwillingly.

Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's settled like this. I'll give you some more chances when we fight Alutai. This time, you should stay in the army."

After speaking, Zhu Di began to discuss the details of the pursuit with Zhen Wu and others.

Only Zhu Neng was left staring at Zhen Wu with resentment.

When the discussion was over, Zhu Di saw that Zhu Neng was still a little unhappy, so he patted Zhu Neng's shoulder sympathetically and comforted him: "You can't blame me, that little bastard's brain is so fast that he got me into it. You can't go back on your word, next time...next time you stop his bad mouth earlier, so I have a reason to speak for you."

……

On the second day, all the fine cavalry in the five armies assembled quickly, and then each prepared [-] days of rations, and under the leadership of Zhu Di, they followed Ben Ya's missing trail and chased after him.

At this moment, Alutai, who was fleeing towards the northeast, had a sneer on his lips.

He thought, the Ming army should have found out about Ben Ya's disappearance at this moment, and hoped that the Ming army could help him get rid of Benya, who was an eyesore, for him.

Thinking of Benya's loss, Alutai couldn't help but snorted again.

Still want to plot against him!
Humph.

When he was a white jerk all these years?
He waited until the Ming army wiped out Benya and lost his way, and then acted out the righteousness of revenge for Benya and lost his way, and then sat on the throne of the Great Khan in a grand manner.

By that time, let's see who will be against him? !
The light in Alutai's eyes was flickering, and his thoughts were turning all over the place. No one would guess his thoughts, but even after Zhen Wu and others knew about it, Zhen Wu would probably only sigh. The tricks have been exhausted, and everyone is playing with the applause, but everyone knows that people are not as good as God, and God is the ultimate behind-the-scenes mastermind.

This time, Benya couldn't escape, and Alutai was bound to be unable to escape either.

……

In the blink of an eye, four days passed in a flash.

Zhu Di and others chased for four days, and finally caught up with Benya's missing tribe on the south bank of the Onan River. After the front scouts reported that they found Benya's missing army, Zhu Di immediately stopped the army.

He got off his horse and opened the map, and at the same time summoned Zhen Wu and others to look at it.

Soon.

Zhu Di pointed at a location on the map, and said confidently and firmly: "Benya lost his way definitely intends to go upstream, and definitely intends to escape here, and choose to cross the river and flee west quickly, because they have a lot of luggage, and only the water here It's easiest to cross the river gently."

Zhen Wu and others looked at the map and nodded, agreeing with Zhu Di's opinion.

Zhu Di made a decisive decision and quickly made arrangements: "Zhang Wu, you lead a group of people with light clothes to cross the river first, and then block it for me on the other side of the river here. After arriving here, when he was crossing the river, when the head and the tail could not see each other, our whole army rushed up, attacked from both ends, and defeated Ben Ya in one battle."

Zhang Wu, Zhen Wu and others should be at the same time.

Afterwards, Zhang Wu led a group of people to separate from the large army, bypass Ben Ya's lost large army, and cross the river.

Zhen Wu looked ahead slightly, it was finally time to reap the fruits of this expedition.

As time went by, the sun rose and set in the east and set in the west step by step, pushing the day to the fifth day.

Ben Yasili led all his followers, with great ambitions after escaping from Alutai, and finally came to the flat land where it is easiest to cross the river. He looked at the Onan River flowing slowly, and suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart. stand up.

As a child of the Golden Family, he naturally knew clearly that this place was the birthplace of his ancestor Temujin.

Now he was driven back here in despair.

This made him a little sad.

After feeling sad, Benya sighed again.

It is true that future generations are not up to date.

But this world is really like a woman who is free and easy, and she will follow whoever is really strong.

Benya lost his head and got off his horse, took a puddle of clear water from the Onan River and hit him on the face. The cool water stimulated his mind instantly, and for a while, it seemed that Temujin had given him endless descendants. belief.

Back then, the ancestors were able to raise troops from here and sweep the world, so it is not impossible for him to do so in the future.

After all, the blood of the Golden Family flows in his body.

Ben Ya suddenly turned around and looked towards the south, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth and said: "What Daming? What Alutai? Huh, you wait, wait for the day when I will come back strong again. As for now, I won't play with you Now, you dog eat dog."

After finishing speaking, Benya waved his hand in disbelief: "Cross the river!"

But as soon as his voice fell, countless horseshoes sounded from far and near, and gradually Benya lost his mind and even felt the earth shaking.

what's the situation?
Benya looked around in a daze, and unexpectedly, a large number of Ming troops appeared in the front and rear.

He looked at those Ming soldiers who were wearing armor, like cold and ruthless beasts, and was shocked in his heart.

what's the situation? !

How could the Ming army come after them?

It shouldn't be!

Even if the Ming army wants to chase, shouldn't the Ming army go to solve Alutai first?
Why pick him as a soft persimmon.

Alutai is the problem of Daming's border defense. Could it be that Zhu Di has a dog's head and can't figure out the priorities.

fuck.

At this moment, Ben Ya lost his mind and didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly assembled the army to fight. Among his troops, those skilled fighters could still maintain their composure, but the old, young, women and children among his troops had already started to panic.

Because they watched the Ming army stretching for several miles, as if it was all over the sky, sweeping towards them like a whirlwind.

Then there was the sound of horseshoes, and the sound of charging and killing brought the momentum of the Ming army to the sky, and they also pressed towards them.

The real battlefield makes people involuntarily terrified.

Zhen Wu was riding on the horse at the moment, rushing forward quickly. As he got closer, he found a Zhongwu gun that had already been loaded with bullets in his hand. After aiming at the enemy camp, he pulled the trigger.

One sound, followed by thousands of gunshots.

Immediately, countless people in the enemy camp were overturned and fell to the ground.

The next moment, as the troops of the two sides approached again, the soldiers of both sides shot a rain of arrows at each other, and the troops of both sides began to suffer large-scale attrition at this moment.

While avoiding the rain of arrows, Zhen Wu stretched the bowstring and shot another arrow, then hung the bow and arrow on the horse's back, and held the horse in his hand with his backhand.

His eyes were firm and indifferent.

But the heart was beating, pumping endless blood to the limbs.

It's been a long time.

Since Jing Nan, he has never rushed so happily.

Zhen Wu's legs were slightly clamped, and the army horse under his crotch suddenly moved a little faster. In the blink of an eye, Zhen Wu jumped over the distance of dozens of steps.

He was still as fierce and good at fighting as before, like a sharp spear, he rushed in like a sharp spear.

On the way, the horse swayed fiercely and fiercely, no one could stop him for a moment, and everywhere he passed, people kept falling off the horse to death.

I don't know how long it took.

Zhen Wu directly killed the opponent in Ben Ya's lost camp.

He pulled back his horse's head and looked at the battlefield again. The two sides were fighting in full swing, but Da Ming obviously had the absolute upper hand. Speaking of which, Da Ming's elite cavalry was not weaker than the Tatar light cavalry, and the number of them was double that of the opponent. When he was crossing the river, he was attacked from both ends, and Benya's lost tribe couldn't get over any waves, so they were beaten to pieces.

Afterwards, Zhen Wu mentioned Ma Qian again and killed him.

The momentum of the Ming army was even higher, and its combat power doubled in a short time.

as time flows.

Benya's lost troops died in pieces, and those who survived long ago did not expect to fight back, and only wanted to break out of the siege and flee for their lives, but the Ming army was determined to wipe out Benya's lost troops ministry public.

This battle can be said to be devastating.

In just over half an hour, apart from the fact that Benya led a small group of people to break out of the siege, causing a large number of Ming troops to chase after him, the main battlefield was already full of corpses.

The blood dyed the green grass red, and even the Onan River was a little red.

Zhen Wu rode to Zhu Di's side while having someone clean up the battlefield.

At this moment, although Zhu Di's body was also covered with blood, he was very energetic. Zhen Wu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this battle has almost completely wiped out Ben Ya's family, all the luggage, women and children were captured."

Zhu Di laughed out loud, and while driving his horse slowly towards the Onan River, intending to wash off the blood on his body, he said to Zhen Wu: "If you can take away the baggage, take it all away in a while, and you can't take it away. As for the women and children, all should be moved back, especially the women, and none should be left on the grassland."

Zhen Wu should be right next to Zhu Di.

This processing method is considered a conventional processing method.

Women are a very important resource for the grassland peoples. Their conquests among the various tribes never hurt women. The way their victors deal with women is basically to let the tribesmen marry them back one by one. , used to generate two, two to three...

So they value women very much.

Of course, this kind of emphasis is not a respect, and modern women don't need to be envious.

This is why, sometimes when the grassland peoples plunder the border, they often snatch some women back.

So Zhu Di naturally would not leave the captive woman to the grassland.

In fact, at this point, as long as all the women on the grassland are taken away, that is the real solution to the grassland crisis, and it is guaranteed that within a few years, there will be no one on the grassland.

But that's simply not realistic.

At this time, Zhen Wu and Zhu Di also came to the river. They got off their horses, and while cleaning themselves, they also helped the horses to do a simple cleaning. Zhen Wu asked, "What about the Tatars who surrendered?"

Zhu Di thought for a while and said: "We still need to solve the Arutai. Let Tan Guang deal with those who surrendered."

Zhen Wu was taken aback for a moment, and he knew what Zhu Di meant.

Tan Guang now takes the position of commander of the capital, and the duty of the former guard Zhu Di, the most important thing is that he is a bit bloodthirsty.

Zhen Wu nodded and didn't say anything more about it.

In fact, he didn't have much hatred for the Tatars, especially the ordinary soldiers. After hundreds of years, both sides were compatriots, regardless of you and me, but now there are always people among the Tatars who want to re-enter the Central Plains, and Zhen Wu has no choice.

I don't know how long after that.

The people who chased Benya lost his way back, and when Zhu Di heard that Benya lost his way and led six or seven people to finally escape the pursuit, a look of unwillingness appeared on Zhu Di's face.

It was a fly in the ointment for not taking Benya back.

After Zhen Wu thought about it, he smiled and persuaded, "It's not all bad."

Zhu Di looked over.

Zhen Wu pointed to the west and said: "Although there are not many Oirats now, if we completely wipe out the Tatars in this battle, there will be no power to restrain Oara on the grassland. This will inevitably lead to Oirat's rapid expansion, so we can't Regardless of Wala, Benya fled to the west just to give us a reason, and next year, we can send a partial division to beat Wala to paralysis, and from then on, our Daming will officially take over the grassland and govern the remaining grasslands. Wouldn’t it be better.”

Zhu Di thought about it, and then let go of the matter.

The next moment he set his sights on the Onan River again.

Zhu Di suddenly chuckled.

"Thinking back when Temujin started his family here, and then conquered the whole world in the Southern and Northern Wars, he was truly a generation of heroes, which made people feel respectful, but if he knew that his descendants were wiped out here by the entire army killed by my Ming Dynasty, I don’t know what he will think, but I really want him to see with his own eyes that my sons of the Han family are not all weak like the former Song Dynasty, and there are also iron soldiers who can turn their heads and sweep the grasslands, so that his life will not end. I am also grateful that there is no opponent in the world, and I can't help but think that I am a Han...a rat with no courage, only know that I am afraid and peaceful."

Yes.

Zhen Wu also looked deeply at the Onan River, which has been flowing for thousands of years and is still clear.

In fact, he felt a little lucky. Fortunately, after the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di sat on the throne one after another. After all, the two of them ruthlessly made up a piece of the backbone of the Han people.

If after the Yuan Dynasty, a weak emperor takes over again, Zhen Wu really doesn't know whether the son of the Han family will be able to raise his head proudly in the future.

If you are beaten by the grassland again, you bow your head and surrender.

Ah.

Zhen Wu really didn't dare to imagine.

At this moment, Zhu Di spoke again, pointing at the Onan River with pride and saying, "Onon River, since ancient times, which emperor of the Han family could gallop by the Onan River, and I, the emperor of the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, you did it!"

The sun shone on the Onan River, shining brightly, and at the same time refracted on Zhu Di's back, making Zhu Di look very radiant.

Zhu Di is indeed worthy of radiance.

Zhen Wu watched with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
