Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

The artillery range that Erzhilek mentioned was reduced from ten miles to three miles. Not to mention, he was actually fooled by some combination of circumstances. Li Wei brought mainly divine cannons this time, with a range of only three miles at most, and only a few divine cannons. It can hit five miles.

However, after hearing this, Darima was still doubtful. It was not like he had never fought with the Ming army before. He knew the level of artillery very well. How long had it passed before the Ming army suddenly had such powerful artillery?

"Hmph, I will trust you for now. If I find out that you lied about military information, I will kill you without mercy!"

"Yes, the general will not dare!"

Errelek wiped his cold sweat and replied respectfully, secretly glad that he had finally passed the test temporarily.

……

In the early morning, heavy fog filled the air, and the newly rising sun was covered with no shadow. Trees, flowers and plants were looming under the fog, and the whole world seemed peaceful and mysterious.

Less than ten miles away from Qujing, the Ming army's camp was stretched into a long dragon, hidden in the jungle and mountains.

Due to the harsh environment and mosquitoes everywhere, Li Wei reluctantly fell asleep very late. However, just when he was sleeping soundly, Wu Yong suddenly broke in.

"Sir, get up quickly! The general has orders, and the whole army must march quickly!"

Li Wei woke up from his dream, frowned, and reluctantly opened his eyes to look at Wu Yong.

"It's so early, why are you in a hurry?"

"Sir, please don't ask. Get up quickly. Military orders cannot be delayed!"

Wu Yong urged urgently.

Li Wei sat up helplessly and sighed.

Wu Yong hurriedly got him some clothes and helped him put them on.

At the Chinese army camp, Fu Youde looked at the heavy fog in the sky and was pleasantly surprised: "Great, our army is not far from Qujing. With some heavy fog covering it, we might be able to cross the Baishi River directly and arrive at Qujing City!"

The two deputy generals Mu Ying and Wang Bi beside him were also very happy. Mu Ying raised her head and glanced at the sun that had just emerged and said: "What the general said is true, but our army must move faster."

"Yes." Fu Youde nodded lightly and said to the ordering soldier next to him again: "Send the order, let each battalion set off immediately after being equipped and march at full speed without delay!"

"Yes!"

The ordering soldiers left and conveyed military orders to each battalion again.

A moment later, under the urging of their respective generals, the Ming army set off in the heavy fog and quickly headed towards Qujing.

With Wu Yong's help, Li Wei also dressed up. After boarding the carriage, he still wanted to catch up on his sleep. However, the violent jolts of the carriage's rapid movement made it difficult for him to sit still, let alone fall asleep.

As time goes by, the figure of the sun gradually emerges. At first it was just a gray disk, and then it changed from white to red, rising higher and higher.

Fu Youde was immediately anxious when he saw this, and ordered to urge him one after another.

"Report! General, there is water ahead!"

"water?"

When Fu Youde heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately galloped to the front of the army. At this time, I saw that the army had arrived at the bank of a large river. The fog had not completely dissipated, and it was still unclear how wide the river was.

"This should be Baishijiang. I'm ordering the army to stop moving forward and summon all the generals to come to my tent to listen to the order!" Fu Youde ordered hurriedly.

"Yes!"

After a while, generals from all walks of life came to Fu Youde. Fu Youde didn't waste any words and said directly: "Ahead is the Baishi River. Our army must cross the river before the fog clears. Otherwise, we will be discovered by the enemy and it will be difficult to force the crossing!"

"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Hu Hai said with cupped hands.

In the last battle at Puding, Li Wei's artillery took away the credit. Li Wei's cynicism along the way made him unable to hold his head up. Seeing an opportunity at this time, he immediately invited himself to fight.

Fu Youde thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will order you to select three thousand elites as the vanguard and cross the river immediately without delay!"

"Yes!"

Hu Hai received the order and did not dare to hesitate. He turned around and left to select the elite to cross the river.

Next, Fu Youde arranged the order of other ministries to cross the river, and ordered in a deep voice:

"You must prepare immediately when you return and cross the river in order without delay!"

"The last will obey!"

Everyone took the order and left, and Li Wei also hurried back to the Shenji Camp. However, his Shenji Camp was originally a back-row player, and due to the inconvenience of transportation of artillery and other things, it could only be placed at the end, so he was not in a hurry. .

The fog was getting thinner and thinner. Since he had already heard the news about the Ming army's arrival, Dalima had already arranged for sentries to patrol along the river. As the fog dissipated, he immediately discovered that the opposite bank was filled with darkness and could not be seen. The Ming army who arrived at the border was shocked and turned their horses around to report back to the city.

"Report! A large number of Ming troops appeared on the other side of the Baishi River!"

"What? The Ming army has arrived?" Dalima was horrified: "Quickly! Order the soldiers to leave the city immediately to intercept them, and they must not be allowed to cross the river!"

"Yes!"

Dalima hurriedly summoned the army to leave the city. Fortunately, he knew that the Ming army was coming and had already arranged for the army to prepare for war. Now with the order, hundreds of thousands of troops immediately swarmed out and headed straight for the Baishi River.

The Baishi River is Qujing's natural barrier. If the Ming army is allowed to cross directly, everything will be over. He has no confidence that he can win against 200,000 Ming troops head-on!

On the Ming army's side, Hu Hai led elites who were good at swimming and carried simple weapons to cross the river first. As long as a group of people crossed the river first and defended a certain place, the Ming army behind them could forcefully cross the river one after another!

Dalima led the cavalry in front, and did not care about waiting for the infantry behind him. He patted his horse one after another to urge, and tens of thousands of cavalry took the lead and rushed straight towards the Ming army.

Fu Youde stared at the other side of the river. When he saw Dalima's cavalry arriving, he suddenly became anxious and murmured in a low voice: "Hurry, hurry!"

However, Hu Hai and others could not swim as fast as the cavalry. Dalima's army got closer and closer. When they approached the river bank, they immediately showed off the Mongolian cavalry's riding and shooting skills.

Densely packed arrows were fired at the vanguard Ming army that had crossed to the river, causing immediate casualties.

Seeing this, the Ming army in the river immediately dived and completely sank into the water in an attempt to escape. However, the Baishi River was shallow and facing such a dense concentration of arrows, the effect of diving to avoid was limited.

"Get ashore quickly, quickly!"

Hu Hai took the lead in forcing the crossing, while shouting and urging the soldiers. At this time, he could not care about the casualties. As long as they could land quickly, form a military formation, and block the enemy for a while, the army behind him would be able to cross the river one after another. Keep up!

The three thousand soldiers he led were worthy of their reputation as elites. In the face of successive casualties, they still charged forward bravely. However, Dalima's army had already rushed to the riverside one after another. Even if a few Ming troops boarded the river bank, they were defeated by these cavalrymen. Quickly rush up and kill!

In the rear, Fu Youde was stunned to see it, but he didn't want to give up such a great opportunity, so he had to grit his teeth and hope that Hu Hai could create a miracle and lay a good front for the army.

However, God's will played a trick on people, and the miracle did not happen after all. As Dalima's army arrived, the Ming army that forcibly crossed the river was unable to resist. The Baishi River was no more than a mile wide, and the Ming army standing on the riverside could vaguely see the other side of the river. The river water was quickly dyed red with blood at a speed visible to the naked eye! (End of chapter)
