Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 440 From now on, Hu'er will be good at singing and dancing!

The troops were extremely fast, and Zhao Mingyuan immediately set off on the road with an army of three thousand, one man and three cavalry, heading towards the border day and night.

There are scout knights waiting along the way, constantly reporting the latest news.

So, the next morning, they were less than fifty miles away from the Turkic army.

"Take a rest and prepare for battle."

After receiving the order, the soldiers knew that they would be facing hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops soon, but they showed no fear and calmly fed the horses fodder.

Although they had traveled all night, they did not feel sleepy at all.

This is naturally not because they are excited because of the approaching battle, nor is it because of their advanced internal skills, but because they all master the essential skills of a first-class cavalry and sleep on their horses.

Don't underestimate this. Sleeping on a horse is indeed a unique skill and a great weapon for cavalry during expeditions.

Even before this, it had only been a patent for nomads. Only nomads who grew up on horses could truly do this.

Even if people from Pegasus Ranch stay with horses day and night, there are not many knights who can do this.

But now, with saddles and stirrups, the requirements for riders have been greatly reduced.

Just lie forward and wrap your arms around the horse's neck. It's not difficult at all.

Therefore, even if we are traveling at night, everyone can take turns to rest, and everyone can sleep for several hours without feeling sleepy.

Even so, for the upcoming battle, most of the people chose to close their eyes and rest their minds, adjusting their state to perfection.

Soon after, a scout cavalry came to report that the Hu army was less than twenty miles away from them.

Zhao Mingyuan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to wake up and prepare for battle.

Although the enemy was still a certain distance away, Zhao Mingyuan had no intention of leading his army to meet him, but was preparing to form a formation here to fight.

This is not only because he wants to relax and wait for work, but also because this place is the only place for barbarians to enter the customs, and it is also the battlefield carefully selected by Zhao Mingyuan.

In fact, the terrain here is flat and the view is wide, which is suitable for cavalry operations, but not conducive to ambushes.

Since Zhao Mingyuan chose this place as the battlefield, it also means that he will lead his army to defeat the Turkic army head-on.

Zhao Mingyuan wanted to fight and win in an upright manner, so that the people on the grassland could truly understand that the Han people had risen again, the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable, and the era of one Han as the five barbarians would come again.

They had no other choice but to surrender or flee.

But in fact, even with the advantage of weapons, facing a huge disparity in military strength, it is not that easy to defeat the Turkic army in one battle.

According to the intelligence obtained by Zhao Mingyuan, the total number of Hu troops coming to the Central Plains today is more than 200,000.

The Golden Wolf Army under Jieli's tent alone accounts for 100,000, Tuli's Black Wolf Army also has 50,000, the Gunatai brothers have 10,000, the Bodhisattva has 15,000, the Khitan Abaojia has 20,000, and other tribes combined More than ten thousand people got up.

Although the various tribal forces on the grassland are intertwined, there are many internal conflicts. However, when facing the Central Plains Dynasty, their stance was unanimous.

No one from the grasslands was willing to face the powerful Han dynasty.

They were familiar with the life of plundering on the grasslands, and they were always eyeing the rich people of the Central Plains.

Therefore, when they heard that Jieli Khan was going to lead his army south, not a single grassland tribe was willing to fall behind.

Even Tuli, who had always been at odds with Jieli, almost came out in force, squeezing out an army of 50,000.

Although Tuli had a deep hatred for Jieli and always wanted to replace him. But even so, it did not delay him from going south to plunder together.

You know, there is no such thing as military pay for the army on the grassland. They all rely on looted property to offset their wages.

But even so, when they heard that they were going south to rob the wealthy Han people, everyone was in an uproar, and no one was willing to miss this opportunity.

This is the nature of the nomadic peoples, and it is also their irreconcilable contradiction with the farming peoples.

The economic structure on the grasslands was too simple, resulting in a lifestyle dominated by robbery and no production.

Poverty makes them keep peeking at the prosperous farming civilization, and they bite them like hyenas if they get the chance.

As the attacker, even if they are repelled, they will not suffer much loss.

On the contrary, as a defender, almost all industries will suffer a devastating blow.

One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. No wonder the nomads in the north have always been a serious problem for the Han people.

However, now that Zhao Mingyuan is here, things are naturally different.

With firearms, after this battle, the prairie people will become good at singing and dancing.

Naturally, it is impossible for an army of 200,000 to move together. The vanguard scouting horse at the front has already discovered the army blocking the front.

After confirming that there were only 3,000 people in this army, they did not ask for instructions from the rear, nor did they have any intention of talking. Without any hesitation, they directly rushed towards them.

Although they were just a vanguard, they still had five thousand cavalry.

As a grassland man, he naturally believed that his riding and shooting skills were far beyond the capabilities of the people from the Central Plains. He looked down upon the three thousand cavalry in front of them and killed them directly without any intention of talking to them.

Seeing this, everyone just lightly pulled the trigger, but with one volley, everyone on the opposite side was shot into hedgehogs.

In fact, expending a volley just to deal with these five thousand people was overkill, and most of the crossbow arrows were wasted.

Fortunately, they carried enough arrows, so it didn't matter if they wasted a little.

If you are poor, you can use tactics, and if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower. With his current family background, Zhao Mingyuan naturally does not need to be stingy with these arrows.

The 200,000-strong army set out, and there were naturally constant movements of reconnaissance and cavalry in front.

Therefore, Jieli and the others naturally soon knew what happened ahead.

Five thousand cavalry may seem like nothing to an army of 200,000, but in fact, no one dares to ignore the fact that an army of five thousand can be easily destroyed at any time.

Soon, through constant probing, Jieli gained a more detailed understanding of the matter.

It turned out that the three thousand cavalry blocking the main road in front were the same cavalry and crossbowmen that wiped out Li Tang's elite in a battle not long ago.

At the same time, they also found out that the general, wearing golden armor and holding a golden sword in his hand, and under the banner of Emperor Ming, was actually Zhao Mingyuan, the best master in the world, personally fighting the battle.

After learning the news, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Even though they were Li Tang's allies, in fact, no one knew Li Tang's strength better than them.

Especially Li Shimin's armored cavalry, they knew how powerful it was.

Since that battle, Li Tang's elite were wiped out in one fell swoop. This cavalry crossbowmen, which played a big role in it, naturally won the attention of the whole world.

Even though they were on the grassland, they were still aware of it.

There was a shortage of iron and copper on the grassland, and the smelting process was very poor. There was no good armor at all, and naturally it was unable to stop the sharpness of strong bows and crossbows.

Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan's army is also a cavalry, which means it is more threatening to them.

In the past, you could still run if you couldn't beat them, but facing this team, you probably won't even be able to run.

Therefore, facing such a threatening army, it is naturally impossible for them to do no research.

As for Zhao Mingyuan, who was personally conquering the army, although he was indeed the best in the world in martial arts, so what?

It's just a great master, it's not like they haven't seen him before.

Even Bi Xuan was helpless when faced with the siege of thousands of troops.

Just be careful and don't get too close, what about the Grand Master?

So Jie Li laughed and said: "Let him make a chain of crossbows, and I will break them all with my own strength.

We have an army of 200,000 people. Even one arrow per person is enough to shoot them into a hornet's nest, so why should we be afraid?

Since there is no army ambushing ahead, let's go together to meet the Ming King Zhao Mingyuan for a while. "

Jie Li's words sounded bold, but in fact, he was very steady. He actually led 200,000 troops to suppress the formation, preparing to surround and kill the 3,000 troops led by Zhao Mingyuan.

"Commander, are you okay?"

After giving the order, Jieli asked the people around him softly.

This man was dressed as a Han Chinese, but he was called a military advisor by Jie Li.

Being able to be entrusted with important tasks as a foreigner without being suspected naturally proves his extraordinaryness.

Looking at the ever-changing diamond spear in his hand, anyone with a bit of discernment can recognize that he is Zhao Deyan, the leader of the Demon Sect, who ranks third among the eight masters of the Demon Sect and is known as the "Demon Commander".

Although Zhao Deyan was Han Chinese, he was resourceful and an expert in sieges. He was deeply trusted by Jie Li and was regarded as a military advisor.

At the same time, he is also the number one master on the grassland under the martial master Bi Xuan. After Bi Xuan's death, he directly became the national master of DTZ.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

About to face Zhao Mingyuan, the best master in the world, Jie Li naturally felt a little uneasy.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of the battle at Chang'an Palace, just looking at the result, Jieli naturally understood that Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin had died.

With the cooperation of Li Tang, the two great masters who had the right time, place and people together were not Zhao Mingyuan's opponent. They couldn't even escape, which showed how terrifying Zhao Mingyuan was.

Facing such an invincible creature, even among an army of 200,000 men, Jieli felt like a thorn in his back, without any sense of security.

“Don’t worry, big man, even the Grand Master is still made of flesh and blood, how can he possibly defeat thousands of troops?

Once they are surrounded by a large army, they will eventually be defeated.

Even if Zhao Mingyuan came to kill the Khan and really wanted to kill the general and seize the flag, although he was defeated by the Grand Master, he could still stop him.

As long as we, the wolf warriors, swarm forward and draw out our swords, we will definitely cut them to pieces! "

After hearing what Demon Commander Zhao Deyan said, Jie Li felt a little at ease and smiled happily:
"it is good!

Military advisor, no!

If the Imperial Master says this, I will feel relieved.

This time, if Zhao Mingyuan saw that the situation was not good, he would just run away.

If he really has the idea of ​​​​killing generals and seizing the flag, then please ask the national master.

I must be called the so-called number one in the world, and there will be no return!
Hahahahaha..."
