The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 244
Mobei, by the Onan River at the foot of Mount Kent.

In the river channel, large chunks of crushed ice floated along with the river water, and the ground was scattered with half-melted snow, and tenacious weeds sprouted against the cold wind, forming tents one by one. Countless herdsmen came out of the village, and while the earth was getting warmer, they rode on fine horses and drove their cattle and sheep to the grass to graze.

In the very center of the settlement, a huge flagpole was erected outside a huge luxurious gold-rimmed tent, on which hung a large banner with a wolf's head, fluttering in the spring breeze.

This is the royal court of the Mongols, the royal tent of Daliba the Great Khan.

Taliba Khan is the son of Benya Shili. During the Ming army's northern expedition last time, Alutai suffered a disastrous defeat. Benya fled to his brother-in-law Mahamu to seek asylum, but Mahamu didn't talk about martial arts, but turned back He killed Benya's missing face, and supported Benya's son Daliba as sweat.

Naturally, Daribahhan is the puppet of Taishi Mahamu.

However, Arutai did not admit that Taliba belonged to the Mongolian Khan. As soon as Benya died, Arutai backhanded Adai as Khan, and there was a situation in Mongolia where the Eastern and Western Khans stood side by side; Also a puppet, Adai is much stronger than Daliba, and Adai also has a member of the Horqin Department in his hand, who can pull out thousands of cavalry.

In the king's tent, the young Daliba sat in the main seat without saying a word, and the tribal leaders in the tent ignored him, and all looked at Taishi Mahamu who was sitting in the second seat.

Mahamu had just returned to Wala for less than a month, and he successfully crossed the Yangtze River with the pass of the King of Han, and spent nearly two months before returning to the tribe.

His grandson Yexian also had the same experience as him. After the incident of Wala Xizuo was exposed, as a messenger, Tuohuan and Yexian were not troubled, but there were more eyeliners around him.

In order not to be wiped out, but also reluctant to pay the tribute, Tuo Huan, as the envoy, stayed on by himself, so he simply returned to Wala first, and brought the emperor of Ming Dynasty to order the Wala tribe to discuss the will of Arutai.

He also came back only half a month later than Mahamu, and handed over the emperor's will to Mahamu. Mahamu was overjoyed after seeing it, so he summoned [-] Vala warriors, together with [-] herdsmen, to drive cattle and sheep as food, Migrating all the way to the east, this came to the foot of Mount Kent, on the banks of the Onan River-this place can already be regarded as the junction of Oara and Tatar.

"Alutai, this bastard, he is more cunning than a lone wolf on the grassland! He actually led the Ming army here!" A rough-looking tribal leader shouted angrily.

The Ming army marched all the way to the north, and Mahamu had already received the news, and sent scouts to investigate day and night, especially the movements of Arutai's troops.

Originally, Mahamu's plan was good. Let Alutai and the Ming army fight for a few months first. When the two sides are exhausted in autumn, he will lead troops to join him. He can take advantage of the weakness of the Tatars and defeat Arutai in one fell swoop. The Lutai Division has incorporated the Tatar tribes, and the unification of the grasslands is just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, that wolf cub at Alutai didn't have the courage of a prairie man at all, and he ran away without a fight?
Just run away, he still took the tribe and ran to the territory of Wala?

Just now, Alutai sent envoys to find Mahamu again, this time without even mentioning the conditions, the meaning of the words is the same:
If you, Mahamu, don't send troops to help me fight the Ming army, I will surrender to the Ming army and beat you together!Don't even think about running away, the Ming army is not familiar with Mobei, but I am familiar with Alu Taibu!Don't think about it, everyone!

Quite a simple conspiracy, but quite practical, and quite disgusting!

"Where is Alu Taibu now?"

Mahamu looked serious and was not affected by the angry subordinates.As the actual controller of Oala, he has already developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger.

"A hundred miles to the southeast, we have been stationed for three days." Another leader in charge of scouting stood up and said, "Not only is there the Arutai army, but also a large number of herdsmen! However, the herdsmen have already driven the cattle and sheep. Turn to the north and march forward, hum! This wolf cub wants something from us, and he is guarding against us! In addition, the movement of the Ming army has also been found out. They are more than [-] miles southeast of the Alutai Department, with more than [-] cavalry , it should be those rebellious bastards called the Three Thousand Battalion, and the rest are all infantry!"

Alutai is not stupid, and will not move the herdsmen to the Royal Court of Oara, otherwise, after the war, it would be difficult to say whether these herdsmen belonged to Tatar or Oara.

"The infantry is not easy to deal with either!" Mahamu sighed leisurely: "The Ming army is well armored, formed a battle formation, and there is a Shenji Battalion pressing the formation, our cavalry can't break through."

"Grand Master, are you going to help Arutai resist the Ming army? Haven't we already agreed with the Ming army to jointly attack the Tatars?"

"This moment, that moment!" Mahamu stood up and took the precious map from the guard behind him. This map was handed down from the Yuan Dynasty!

"Arutai has already run to the side of our king's tent. Let Alutai be wiped out by the Ming army. It is hard to guarantee that the Ming army will not take advantage of the trend and attack us together! That is Zhu Di!"

"However, it's not so easy for Alutai to ask for my help from Wala!"

"Also first! Go and call in the envoys from Alutai!"

Just as Mahamu and Arutai were bargaining and discussing joint operations, beside a curved river more than [-] miles southeast of Arutai's headquarters, the camp of the Ming army was built along the water, stretching for dozens of miles.

The Han family marched and set up camp, but it was not just a tent. There were camp fences, horse rejection, watchtowers, archery towers, and horse pits... and they had to be stationed in front, back, left, and right sides, not just one camp.

In order to prevent enemy sneak attacks, there are cavalry patrols around the camp, and more elite scouts do not collect intelligence at night, and are responsible for clearing out the enemy's scouts.

In the camp of the Chinese army, in the emperor's dragon tent.

The generals gathered to discuss the current battle.

The army marched northward from Daning, driving the main force of Alutai, and finally entered Mobei after more than a month.

Arutai no longer fled north, and set up camp by the river ahead. The sentry cavalry of the Ming army had already ascertained the situation.

The Oirat army stayed behind Arutai, and the two seemed to have the intention of joining forces.

Zhu Di didn't care.

Tatar is the current enemy, and Oala is the future enemy. Moreover, Oirat has developed too fast in recent years, and has already unified Mobei. Mahamu is ambitious, and seems to have the intention of annexing Tatar and unifying Mongolia.

Then hit!
The plan of jointly attacking the Tatars, which was discussed in Yingtian City long ago, should be ignored!
Tatar had [-] soldiers, and Wala Mahamu recruited [-] tribal warriors. The two armies added up to [-] troops, and they were all cavalry!

On the contrary, although the Ming army is said to be 500,000, there are only 200,000 troops that can actually fight, and [-] rear troops must be deployed to protect [-] grain transporters to ensure the smooth flow of grain roads.

The strength of the two sides is basically one to one, and it is still infantry against cavalry.

Zhu Di didn't panic at all!

The current Northern Yuan cavalry is no longer the Mongolian iron cavalry that ruled the world in the past, and the elite Beijing camp in his hands is not the weak infantry of the weak Song Dynasty!
The elite of the Beijing camp, although they are infantry, are all armed to the teeth!Excellent armor, sharp weapons, tenacious will to fight, forming a battle formation, and Shenjiying's new guns and artillery, facing the Mongolian cavalry with leather armor and scimitars, recreating the grand occasion of the Han Dynasty as the Wuhu It's not difficult.

The conquest of the Han family has never relied on personal bravery, but battle formation, command, etc., as well as sharp weapons and solid armor that are absolutely ahead of the Hulu!

The main reason why Mongolian iron cavalry traveled across the world back then was also the acquisition of a large number of Han craftsmen.

But now, Bei Yuan fled north in a hurry. After so many years, the armor and swords left by his ancestors have long been dilapidated, and they have returned to the state of nomads in the past.

Now that Wala had exposed his intentions, Zhu Di took the lead in proposing to break the agreement and fight together with Mahamu.

"Father, if you want me to say, fighting Tatars is fighting, and fighting Oara is also fighting. They are all wolf ambitions, there is no difference!"

"That's right, Dad! Simply put! Whoever he is, we'll clean it up together this time! The north can be peaceful for at least ten years!"

The king of Han and the king of Zhao took the lead, and all the generals agreed with each other, offering advice and discussing how to defeat Bei Yuan.

However, Zhu Di has always been arbitrary about the tactics to be used in this battle.

Li Yu stood in the corner, lost in thought.

For Zhu Di and the generals, although the Ming army has the upper hand in this war, they must deal with it carefully and beware of overturning; but for Li Yu, the outcome of this war has long been determined.

There is no doubt that the Ming army will definitely win!

In case Alutai and Mahamu succeed in cheating, and the Ming army falls into a situation where the battle is unfavorable and about to fail, Li Yu will lift the table and take out David Crowe. No one within 300 meters should think about it. Under the so-called radiation , All beings are equal!

However, it is better not to use it as much as possible!
This is the conquest of the Mongolian Yuan, strictly speaking, it is a civil war.

The north has been ruled by foreign races for hundreds of years. In order to unify the north, Taizu recognized the former Yuan and inherited its legal system after the founding of the country. This is recognized by many Mongols, otherwise there would not be many Mongols fighting for Ming Dynasty. Among the Ming army, there were many generals of Mongol origin, and [-]% of the more than [-] cavalry in the [-] battalion were also Mongols.

Strictly speaking, the northern grassland is the land of the Ming Dynasty that inherited the pre-Yuan legal system!It's just that it hasn't been brought back yet!Arutai was granted the title of King Hening, and Mahamu was awarded the title of King Shunning. The war between the Ming army and Tatar Wala was indeed a civil war.

As the army marched north, there were countless small Mongolian tribes captured by the vanguard who had no time to escape. Zhu Di did not order to kill them. Instead, he arranged for these small tribes to go south and settled them on the periphery of the Great Wall.

Not long after, the discussion was over, Zhu Di closed his eyes and meditated, and waved his hands to make the generals retreat. Li Yu subconsciously followed the "supervisor" governor Liu Jiang to go out, but was caught up by the second uncle.

Along the way to the north, in order to exercise the ability of the thousands of young troops who went to the battlefield for the first time, Li Yu asked himself to be a forward, so he was placed in the former army tent together with the thousand young troops under his command, and followed the troops of the governors Liu Jiang and Zhu Rong. , the forerunner of the army.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled but said: "Nephew, there is going to be a war soon. Grandpa Ni loves you so much that he told you before he came here that you should stay in the Chinese army."

This is the kindness of the old man. Li Yu stepped forward to thank him, and he just couldn't bear to let the young army suffer major damage, after all, it is his direct descendant.

The next day, the army continued to march northward, marching forty miles a day, advancing steadily and step by step, before setting up camp.

However, the main force of the Arutai Department stayed where it was and did not move, but Na Mahamu raised [-] troops to the south and stationed [-] miles due north of the Arutai Department.

"Huh! Thirty miles away, the cavalry can launch a surprise attack in half an hour, but Mahamu and Arutai are standing still? What does Mahamu want to do? Ah! The wolf's ambition is obvious!"

Zhu Di was furious in the dragon tent.

After marching for five consecutive days, the army set up camp [-] miles away from Alutai, and the vanguard's sentry cavalry were all on the nose of Arutai.Just after receiving the news, Mahamu sent an envoy to the camp of the Ming army to discuss a joint attack on Alutai!

Arutai was intercepted back and forth but did not run away, Mahamu sent envoys, this is a fool!

"Go back and tell Mahamu," Zhu Di pointed to the Oirat emissary who was kneeling in the tent and said, "If you want to fight, fight, don't play tricks, get out!"

Zhu Gaoxu held the handle of the knife: "Father! Let me kill him!"

"Da Ming's majesty doesn't have to be recovered from a mere messenger! Let him go!"

The next day.

The two armies confront each other.

The Ming army marched out of the camp in mighty force, and the [-] former army advanced for [-] miles. Zhu Gaoxu commanded [-] battalions and [-] cavalry to protect the two wings, formed an army formation, and slowly advanced; In case of unexpected events.

Arutai urgently dispatched [-] light cavalry, with their backs against the hillside, blocking the advance route of the Ming army from the front.

On the hillside, Arutai squinted his eyes and looked at the Ming army on the opposite side forming a fiery patch, feeling a little impatient in his heart.

Mahamu finally agreed to his request for help. However, he was not easy to deal with. The condition he proposed was that the Arutai Department must withstand the attack of the Ming army head-on. Army's rear.

Save your strength!Alutai agreed, but he would not use his own warriors as cannon fodder.

The [-] light cavalry on the hillside were all warriors from small and medium tribes, and the largest group, Ian, was the Horqin warriors in the hands of Adai Khan.

Of the [-] warriors at Alutai headquarters, only a thousand came.

With the hammer down, the young Adai Khan saw such a spectacular confrontation between the two armies for the first time, and his palms were sweating excitedly.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a general in golden armor standing in front of the Ming army.

"Grand Master, look over there. Could it be that the man in the golden armor is the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty? He actually came to the front line in person?"

"Golden armor?" Alutai was stunned. Dressing so conspicuously on the battlefield was definitely an act of death. He grabbed the only clairvoyance in the entire Tatar army, took a closer look, and shook his head immediately.

"It's not Zhu Di, it's a young man. However, if he can wear the golden armor, could it be his grandson? We will try to capture this man alive later, without hesitating casualties! Maybe we can use him to threaten the Ming army to retreat!"

Alutai felt that he saw the dawn of repelling the Ming army.

And the golden-armored young general in the two populations is Li Yu, who is riding a white horse at the moment, patrolling back and forth before standing in formation.

As Alutai thought, in fact, the shiny golden armor is just for ceremonial armor, and no one would be so stupid as to wear this color on the battlefield in real combat.Wearing such a flamboyant bag on the battlefield will only attract a large number of bows and arrows from the opponent, and this is what happens to those who die first.

And Li Yu did dress like this on purpose, in order to attract attention—not just the attention of the enemy!
