Chapter 441 The Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses

Both sides entered the battlefield with confidence of victory.

Seeing that there were only 3,000 people on the opposite side, and then looking at the bustling army behind him, Jieli suddenly felt reassured.

With a gap of nearly a hundred times and such a huge disparity in military strength, how could Zhao Mingyuan turn the world upside down?

Even if Zhao Mingyuan is the Grand Master, are the three thousand people behind him all innate masters?
Haha, there are three thousand innate masters. All the innate masters in the world combined are not even three hundred. Where can he find three hundred innate masters?

Even if Zhao Mingyuan, the world's greatest master, could really defeat one thousand, or even one against ten thousand, there would still be an army of 200,000 here.

Not to mention 200,000 people, even if 200,000 pigs stood still and let Zhao Mingyuan chop them, he would be exhausted and his sword would be broken.

Although his strategy may seem timid or even despicable, as a prairie man, Jieli naturally believes in pragmatism. As long as he can win, the winner will not be blamed.

In fact, even if you win through despicable methods, it is also a manifestation of wisdom and cunning, which is a word of praise on the grassland.

Jie Li asked, how could he lose even though Feilong was riding in his face?
With such confidence, Jie Li's whole aura changed. He showed the aura of a grassland overlord and shouted to the other side: "The other side is Zhao Mingyuan, the King of Ming. Please come forward and answer."

It seemed that this was a routine pre-war quarrel. Zhao Mingyuan was naturally not afraid and went forward alone, patting the horse.

Grassland people have always admired heroes. Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan dared to step forward alone to face an army of 200,000 people, even the hostile Turkic warriors looked at Zhao Mingyuan with admiration.

But seeing Zhao Mingyuan keep coming forward and getting closer and closer to them, Jieli Khan couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Is Zhao Mingyuan really planning to charge into the battle alone?
Is he crazy?

If a good emperor doesn't do anything, why should he risk everything?

Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan had already passed the midpoint between the two armies but still did not stop, Jieli Khan hurriedly shouted to stop Zhao Mingyuan from moving forward.

At the same time, the guards around him also bent their bows and set arrows, and countless gleaming arrow tips pointed at Zhao Mingyuan.

Although Jieli Khan knew that such a move would reveal his cowardice, it would also make him lose his majesty in front of the army, which would be very detrimental to his rule.

But compared to the important matter of life and death, face at this moment is just a small matter.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan did not speed up, but slowly stopped, stopping alone in front of the two armies.

Seeing this, Jieli Khan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but feel angry at his performance just now, and shouted loudly:

"Zhao Mingyuan! As a great master, you act despicably!
My Turkic national master, Wu Zun Bixuan, went to Chang'an to mediate the war between the Ming and Tang Dynasties for the sake of peace between the two races. Unexpectedly, he was secretly poisoned by you.

Now, our Turkic army is going south to avenge the national division. What else do you have to say? "

Oh I got it.

No wonder Bi Xuan's death was such a big deal, but these grassland people showed no fear when facing Zhao Mingyuan. Instead, they all shared the same hatred. So that's it!

It seems that Jieli Khan concealed the truth and told them that Zhao Mingyuan used despicable means to kill Wu Zun Bixuan.

Of course, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this is the truth of the matter and is more reasonable.

After all, Martial Lord Bixuan has been in the grassland for decades. He is a god-like and invincible existence in the hearts of the grassland people. How could he lose?
What's more, he joined forces with the equally famous Goguryeo swordsman Master Cailin, but was easily killed by Zhao Mingyuan.

This truth is more unbelievable than their lies.

If Zhao Mingyuan had such ability, he would have already reached the realm of gods and Buddhas. Who in the world can resist?

So what else are they fighting for?
Just kneel down and surrender, begging Zhao Mingyuan for forgiveness.

Zhao Mingyuan naturally had no need to explain the enemy's slander.

What more can be said about the dying man?
There was just one thing that Zhao Mingyuan was curious about and wanted to understand.

So, Zhao Mingyuan asked: "Jieli Khan, there is something I don't understand.

I wonder what Li Yuan wrote in the letter to you?
Why did you suddenly make up your mind to go south? "

Jieli Khan replied: "The Tang Dynasty is an ally of the Turks. It was Li Tang who spent a lot of money to invite us to maintain peace this time. Lord Wu Zun just took the first step.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan, regardless of your identity as the Grand Master, personally sneaked into the Li Tang Palace through Yang Gong's treasure house and poisoned me.

Later, he led an army to attack the Li Tang royal family, took the opportunity to kill Lord Wu Zun and Master Yi Jian, and even strangled the Li Tang clan.

Such shameless villain behavior is really outrageous to everyone!

In the heaven of eternal life, if I, Jieli, do not kill you, I swear that I will not be a human being! "

"Swear not to be a human being!"

"Swear not to be a human being!"

Listening to the murderous shouts from the people behind him, Jieli Khan knew that he had accomplished his goal of boosting morale, so he had no intention of saying anything more.

So Jieli Khan waved his scimitar, and the invincible golden wolf army behind him rushed over across the grassland.

Since he knew that Zhao Mingyuan's cavalry and crossbowmen were powerful, he dared to stop his army with only 3,000 men, so he was naturally confident. However, after careful study of these crossbowmen, Jieli Khan also had a way to deal with them.

What gave Jieli Khan the confidence was none other than his five thousand personal guards.

All of these guards are proficient in archery and horse riding, and each of them is wearing heavy armor. They are all brave warriors who can defeat ten enemies at once.

Although the grasslands were barren and the smelting technology was not good, Jie Li Khan had naturally obtained a lot of spoils from several wars with the Central Plains, enough for Jie Li Khan to raise such an elite heavy cavalry.

Now, Jieli Khan was preparing to use them to resist Zhao Mingyuan's cavalry crossbowmen.

Although Jieli Khan knew that although these heavy armored cavalry were strong enough to withstand crossbows, they ran too slowly. If Zhao Mingyuan wanted to escape, they would never be able to catch up.

However, this is enough.

Returning from the undefeated Zhao Mingyuan with a great defeat was enough for Jieli Khan to stabilize his prestige.

Having seen Bi Xuan's power, he naturally understood that if the Grand Master did not want to die and just wanted to escape, no one would be able to keep him even if thousands of troops came from behind.

As long as Zhao Mingyuan's undefeated myth is broken and his reputation plummets, Zhao Mingyuan's process of unifying the Central Plains will definitely add more twists and turns.

Even if Zhao Mingyuan stabilizes the situation, it will take several years to truly unify the world.

At the same time, with the victory of this battle, Jieli Khan's reputation will be greatly increased, enough to truly unify the grassland during this period.

Although there is no chance of victory even if the grasslands are unified and they go south to the Central Plains, the two sides can still confront each other.

This was Jieli Khan's plan.

However, his wish will never be realized.

Amidst the long and far-reaching sound of the horn, the 200,000 Turkic army gradually began to accelerate, running from slow to fast.

The scene of thousands of horses galloping is extremely shocking and daunting. It was Jieli Khan's 5,000 heavily armored cavalry who rushed to the front.

Facing the charge of the army, Zhao Mingyuan retreated just as Jieli Khan thought.

Seeing this, Jieli Khan was even more determined. Sure enough, the Grand Master did not dare to face the army to attack him. This was a sure thing!
But before Jieli Khan could relax, something unexpected happened suddenly.

The heavy armored cavalry at the front had just stepped across the midpoint between the two armies when they heard a loud "bang!" followed by fire, thunder, and the sound of horses neighing.

It's a landmine!
Zhao Mingyuan arranged the battlefield here in advance and laid many mines in front of the military formation.

Now, when the war horses of the Turkic army stepped into the minefield, they naturally triggered the mechanism and exploded.

The casualties caused by this loud noise were secondary, but the sound of fire and thunder was what frightened these horses who had never been baptized by hot weapons the most.

The frightened horses naturally ran rampant, immediately causing chaos in the Turkish army's formation.

But when the cavalry charges, how can they stop?
No matter what happened in front, the army behind still kept rushing forward.

Suddenly, it was like a series of car accidents. Thousands of cavalry crashed into a ball, with countless casualties.

How could Zhao Mingyuan miss such an opportunity and immediately led his army forward.

Another small team galloped out, less than a hundred steps away from the enemy formation, and used their horsepower to throw countless iron ball-shaped weapons.

Then the sound of fire and roar came again, and the chaos of the Turkic army became even more uncontrollable.

This time it seemed that the critical point had been reached, and these war horses seemed to finally realize the danger ahead, and they turned their horses' heads one after another and rushed towards the way they came.

No matter how much the knights on the horses yelled, yelled or even pulled, they could not stop the frightened instincts of these war horses.

As a result, these thousands of fully armored horses not only did not charge towards the enemy, but instead charged towards their own military formation.

Even though the Hu people had excellent equestrian skills, on the battlefield where 200,000 troops gathered, people were next to each other and horses were connected to horses, and there was no place to dodge.

They naturally understood how terrifying it would be to be thrown off their horses and trampled by thousands of horses if they were unable to dodge, so they had no choice but to charge forward.

But these were the heavy cavalry trained by Jieli Khan with a lot of money. How could ordinary soldiers like them be able to resist them?

As a result, these heavy cavalry knocked people off their backs and went straight into the depths of the military formation.

Just when the survivors breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed that they had escaped disaster, they were greeted by thousands of bows and crossbows, arrows raining down, and fire and thunder in a continuous stream.

Not to mention the war horses, even the knights on the horses couldn't help but exclaimed "Immortality is in the sky!"

Almost in an instant, the Turkic army collapsed thousands of miles away, turned their horses and ran wildly outside the fortress. He was afraid that the whip in his hand would be drawn too slowly and be swallowed up by the demonic Ming army behind him.

Even though Jieli Khan and others tried their best, they could not stop the fear of the soldiers, and in the end they had no choice but to flee.

After this battle, after seeing the terror of the Ming army, the barbarians all called Zhao Mingyuan the incarnation of Changshengtian, treating him like a god, and their expressions changed when they talked about it, and they did not dare to be disrespectful at all.

Therefore, facing Zhao Mingyuan's Ming Dynasty, all the tribes in the grassland fell silent and no longer dared to talk about going south to herd horses.
