Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 416 Timur and Mahamu united?

"Aren't you two looking for trouble for us Tatars? You don't have to look for it, we will do it ourselves."

Arutai led an army of 400,000 Mongolian soldiers and appeared between Timur and Mahamu.

For a moment, Timur didn't even care about Mahamu's people, but looked at Arutai.

Somehow, this force, which seemed smaller than Mahamu, brought him some unknown threat.

What's more, the people of Mahamu are like beggars who have lost their dog.

But behind Arutai, whether it was the leaders of each tribe, all the grassland soldiers, and even some of the female soldiers, they all had high morale.

This is the most terrible.

In ancient times, morale was the most important thing. Once morale collapsed, the entire army would flee.

Just like before, after Zhu Chu's bombardment, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate collapsed on the spot.

Those three armies were truly millions of soldiers. They were different from Timur's so-called million-strong army. They were actually one million soldiers.

"Ugqiha Shiha, don't have any illusions. The Tatars want to wipe out you and me together, and want to take over the entire grassland. How about we unite to wipe them out first? Now they have the strongest military force. If we don't unite, Get up, we will all die." Timur is truly a hero of his generation. He was able to step by step from a weak force to where he is today, and even seized the Western Chagatai Khanate from the Golden Family to establish his own Timur Empire. It can be said that his eyes are not vicious and scheming.

Because he was too far away, he couldn't see Arutai's expression clearly.

What do you mean?
Mahamu was stunned.

Timur's army has become a wisp of duckweed on this grassland. It has no foundation and no way back.

Arutai smiled, shook his head, and replied loudly: "I want to destroy them, why do I need you?"

Arutai quickly turned around and saluted with clasped fists.

"hiss."

In this way, there is no secret in each other's calculations, and each other's plans are clear.

Even the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had become the territory of the Holy Khan at this time. When they took advantage of the road to reach the Mongolian grassland, they still wanted to go back? Can't go back.

"Arutai, what are you shouting there?" Zhu Min also led his army to the front of the formation at this time, and specially led his 300,000 troops to appear on the left side of Arutai's troops.

Mahamu was also dumbfounded.

On the contrary, once the morale is high, it is not a problem to fight against the odds.

Even though this place is on an endless prairie plain, no one has stipulated that cannon can only be used in siege warfare.

This is what makes the master famous, and he must first occupy the word Li. Otherwise, if there is news that the Tatar tribe is collaborating with outsiders to deal with his steppe brothers, it will be nice to say but not nice to hear.

Zhu Zhen sat firmly, listening to the conversation between Timur and Mahamu, and said with a relaxed face: "Give the order, aim at their two armies, deploy a hundred cannons each, and bomb them first. Then notify Arutai. , and his unit will be responsible for destroying Wala. Inform Feng Sheng and Fu Youde that Timur must not be let go. Prepare to kill."

Arutai said in his heart, Timur Empire? The Holy Khan's army has probably conquered the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and will soon take over the empty Timurid Empire in the rear.

Where did this force come from?

By then, a country of considerable size can become a resource they can allocate.

After a while, another large army slowly appeared from the left side of Zhu Chu.

The distance between the three armies was more than a thousand meters, and they were separated by at least four or five miles, so they could only talk by shouting.

Not to start a war, but to start a killing.

The lineup alone stretched for several meters, and the huge square array covered thousands of square meters.

But everyone who heard it had strange expressions on their faces. When were they going to spare each other? Didn’t we agree to sweep the entire grassland?

Timur gasped.

Even though he was chasing the coalition forces of Wala and Ulyanha before, now that he is facing a powerful enemy, he still wants to unite with them?
But he didn't know yet that Ugeqi Hashiha was dead and the leader now was Mahamu.

On the contrary, in plain wars, artillery can produce terrifying lethality against enemy troops.

Timur didn't know, he only knew that this army was more terrifying than Wala and Ulyanha combined.

Timur's whole country came to war. Once the entire army was wiped out, it is conceivable that Timur's empire would also fall.

Aren't they here to destroy them?

Mahamu thought that he was not as short-sighted as Ugqi Hashiha. After a brief analysis, he felt that Timur's suggestion was good.

"Holy Khan, these guys actually want to bring trouble to us Tatars. I think they have ulterior motives and we must not be lenient," Arutai said loudly.

Mahamu hurriedly said: "This Tamerlane is so ambitious that he wants to take advantage of the internal conflicts among our brothers to seize our land. How about we unite and annex their Timur Empire in one fell swoop?"

It was the Zuojun 400,000 Han troops sent by the Central Plains court.

So Mahamu shouted loudly in the direction of Timur: "Okay, let's deal with the Tatars first, and then we will fight to the death."

He did not dismount. He originally wanted to dismount, but Zhu Chu waved his hand from the distance to indicate that there was no need for those troublesome etiquette.

Seeing that such a terrifying third-party force appeared at this time, Mahamu hurriedly came to the front of his own army and asked loudly: "Is this a brother of the Tatar tribe?"

Arutai glanced at Zhu Chu from a distance, and after receiving a nod from the Holy Khan, he loudly replied: "So what?"

With such terrifying weapons, the two enemy armies have nothing to fear.

Besides, who said there are only these 400,000 people in Arutai?

Tamerlane, Tamerlane, do you think you are here to take advantage? But you don’t know that your own hometown is gone.

Moreover, Zhu Chu's 300,000 troops in charge of the Chinese army can join the battle at any time to provide support.

So he first asked the messengers to convey orders to the left and right armies, asking the left and right armies of 400,000 each to deal with Timur and Mahamu's armies alone.

If there is a battlefield where the strength may be insufficient, it will not be too late for him to lead the army to support it.

As a result, the army began to get busy, and the chariots brought by horses were quickly set up, especially the terrifying cannon barrels aimed at the direction of Timur and Mahamu's troops respectively.

Although they didn't know what these Hongyi cannons were, Timur and Mahamu both had a bad premonition, as if their animal instincts were warning them wildly, as if a catastrophic disaster was about to happen.

Without hesitation, Timur and Mahamu made their choices at the same time.

"The whole army charges."

Now that the two have made up their mind to temporarily unite, they will naturally not give the Tatars a chance to prepare for the formation. Moreover, both of them are heroes of the generation. They know that the Tatars have just arrived and have not yet established their footing, so they will not rush into the formation at this time. , when will we wait?
'Boom boom'.

The sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the earth. Timur still had more than 700,000 troops, and Mahamu also had 500,000 troops in his hands.

Originally, Timur sent 800,000 troops, while Wala and Ulyanha combined had 600,000 troops.

However, in the previous battle, both sides suffered losses. Timur still had 750,000 troops, while Mahamu only had 520,000.

But even so, the total would exceed the 1.1 million led by Zhu Chu.

What's more, Zhu Chu's troops also lost a large number of infantrymen. At least close to 200,000 infantrymen fell behind. At this time, there were only 900,000 here, not one million.

But Zhu Chu folded his arms and turned a blind eye to the encirclement of the two enemy armies.

He, the coach, was so calm that the whole army looked forward indifferently, unmoved.

Until the artillerymen set up two hundred artillery pieces on the left and right sides, and then after asking for instructions, they got the order to fire.

"fire."

In an instant, two hundred artillery pieces, one hundred on the left and one hundred on the right, roared almost simultaneously.

There was only a loud "rumbling" sound, like thunder on a clear day, and even the sound of the iron hooves of millions of cavalry in front was covered up.

Mahamu and Timur were startled, and they subconsciously looked up at the cloudless sky. There were no dark clouds in sight? Why did it thunder?

The next moment, a gust of wind was heard, which was the sound of countless artillery shells breaking through the air.

The distance between the two sides was originally less than five miles, and with Timur and Mahamu leading their troops to charge, it was already less than three miles.

This is within the effective range of the Hongyi cannon.

When a row of artillery shells hit the enemy's formation head-on, an even more terrifying roar suddenly erupted.

Explosive bombs exploded one after another, and the huge impact was enough to throw away more than a dozen horses around them, let alone human flesh and blood.

There are also the terrifying iron pieces hidden in the explosive bombs, which often explode in the crowd and can easily tear the bodies of people around them, and can even continue to spread. Each one can take away dozens of lives.

Especially for solid iron cannonballs, the first person hit will be pierced by the terrifying cannonball without any accident, and even the body will be torn apart and fly out.

Then the iron cannonballs will continue to penetrate the rear, and they will not stop until they kill more than a dozen people.

With just one salvo, the power of the artillery shocked both the enemy and ourselves, and silenced the entire battlefield.

Everyone looked at the place where the shells landed in confusion. There were already corpses everywhere, either dead bodies blown away by explosive bombs, or broken limbs and broken arms whose bodies were torn apart by solid iron cannons, or countless people who were killed. The iron pieces erupted from the explosive bomb formed a sieve. What a hellish scene that was.

In fact, the power of two hundred artillery shells can only cause damage of several thousand to ten thousand people at most.

It stands to reason that Timur and Mahamu combined have more than one million troops, and the casualty ratio is less than one percent.

However, the deterrent effect brought by the Hongyi cannon should not be underestimated.

What's more, the two sides are still three miles apart. With such a scale of lethality, when they rush in front of each other, they will have to withstand at least two to three rounds of bombardment.

This was simply a massacre in vain.

Even Timur and Mahamu hurriedly reined in their horses and retreated. They, who were not at the forefront, retreated even further.

If they are like this, let alone the people in front who have almost experienced hell firsthand?

Some people who were lucky enough not to be baptized by shells were alone on the battlefield ahead, surrounded by countless comrades who died tragically, and almost vomited.

This is not an ordinary nausea and vomiting, but the so-called traumatic stress reaction. When people experience the desperate situation of death, they will often have this kind of vomiting reaction.

While the armies of Timur and Mahamu were in a daze, the artillerymen under Zhu Xi would not miss the opportunity.

They rushed the surrounding soldiers to help clean the gunpowder residue in the barrel, then reloaded the shell, and then ignited the fuse again.

"fire."

"Boom boom boom."

Another volley.

The effective killing range of the Hongyi cannon was more than five miles, so the two enemy troops were once again subjected to fierce bombardment.

The previous tragedy happened again.

Countless Timur's men, as well as Mahamu's men, were killed, causing people to panic.

If they hadn't dared, they might have fled long ago.

"Damn it, we can't continue to let them kill us like lambs to be slaughtered. They only have more than two hundred weapons. Kill them. Kill them for me and chop them into pieces." Since Timur dared A lone army goes deep into the Mongolian grassland, so he naturally has his courage.

So Tamerlane took the lead in giving orders, ignoring the countless dead people in front of him and the fields littered with corpses, and ordered the army to continue to advance without fear of death.

Mahamu also realized that if they continued to allow the enemy's artillery to bombard them unscrupulously, sooner or later they would be killed to the point of collapse.

At this time, they could either stop their losses and retreat immediately, but in this case, not only would Wala be lost, but they would also have nowhere to go.

You can't go to the Jurchen territory and seek refuge with the Jin people, right?
The Jurchens are descendants of the Jin Kingdom.

There is a feud between the two sides.

So now there is only one way to survive, which is to rush over, defeat the Tatars, and then occupy the Tatar grassland.

Now they no longer consider how to fight to the death with Timur. Now that Mahamu and Timur have seen the terrifying weapons in the hands of the Tatars, if they are allowed to develop, will they still have a way to survive in the future?

"Don't worry about anything else, kill the Tatars first," Mahamu shouted, raised the Mongolian knife in his hand, and shouted: "Kill. Pass this on, whoever can cut off the head of the Tatar leader will be rewarded." Ten thousand taels of gold. If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with an ox. If you kill ten people, you will be rewarded with a hundred households. If you kill a hundred people, you will be rewarded with a thousand households. If you kill a thousand people, you will be rewarded with ten thousand households."

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

As Mahamu made a large number of official appointments and made wishes, the Wala people and the Ulyanha people finally screamed strangely, once again showing the brave folk customs of the Mongols.

Even if the two hundred Hongyi cannons were filled again and then launched a third round of bombardment, they could no longer stop the charging momentum of Timur's army and Mahamu's army.

Even Zhu Zhen nodded secretly, unlike the Hei Erhuo who claimed to be a holy war but was killed by a cannon.

The leaders of these two enemy armies can be described as heroes of a generation.

In fact, Timur and Mahamu did have glorious experiences in history.

If it had not been for Zhu Chunqian to pacify the Tatars in one fell swoop, the power of the Mongolian grasslands would have been greatly weakened.

Timur would most likely choose to go north to wipe out the Golden Horde first. Even when the Ottoman Empire almost swept Byzantium, it was Timur who defeated the Ottoman Empire and captured Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I.

This allowed Byzantium to survive for a few more years, but was eventually wiped out by the Ottoman Empire.

Mahamu also has great talents and great strategies. Wala was once weak, and it was he who single-handedly led the rise of ZTE.

Even Ye Xian, who launched the Tumubao Incident and captured Zhu Qizhen, the Ming Dynasty God of War named Emperor Men in one fell swoop, was Mahamu's grandson.

It can be said that these two are heroes of a generation.

However, has Zhu Chu killed many heroes?

When the battle of Dingbian killed Silunfa and swept away the chieftains of Yunnan, which one was not the leader of the place?
Years ago, he also killed Guilichi and Altan, who was suspected of being Anda Khan.

Guilichi also served as a big man in history.

so what?

Who is not a hero of the generation?

Therefore, Zhu Zhen ordered the bombardment to stop.

Although the barrel of the Hongyi cannon is thick, it cannot withstand continuous firing, otherwise it will easily explode. If the terrifying shells are detonated in one's own military formation, it will be great fun.

Then, when the armies of Timur and Mahamu both came to about a mile away, the distance between the two sides was only a few hundred meters.

Zhu Zucai gave the order calmly: "Charge."

He had already issued orders to the left and right armies. At this time, there was no need for micro-manipulation. Instead, the power was given to Arutai, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde.

All I heard was Arutai yelling angrily: "Come on, gentlemen, for the honor of the Holy Khan."

"Kill."

Wuyuntana, Qiqige, Danduoer, Minminte, and even Siqingaowa were the first female leaders to shout in response.

Then all the Mongolian soldiers went crazy, shouting strangely, raising Mongolian knives or spears in their hands, waving them, patting their horses, and rushed out following the leaders of each department.

Unlike Mahamu who hid in the rear and urged the army to charge, Arutai took the lead and charged at the front.

Back outside Ningxia Town, Zhu Zhen had seen the bravery of Arutai.

At this moment, Arutai subconsciously looked at Mahamu at the rear of the enemy army.

Mahamu was shocked, as if he felt that there was a deadly enemy relationship between the two.

"Is this Kazuto?" Mahamu looked at Arutai with wide eyes and shouted: "Don't let him come, otherwise, I will die."

However, Arutai didn't care about that. He led 400,000 Tatar and Mongolian soldiers and collided directly with the troops of Oala and Wuliangha.

The war is about to start.

At the same time, on the other side, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde were naturally unwilling to lag behind. Although the two veteran generals were both old, they still shouted confidently: "Soldiers, listen to your orders. I am the army of the Ming Dynasty. We will fight to the death in this battle." Don’t retreat and promote our country’s prestige.”

"Long live your Majesty."

"Your Highness is a thousand years old."

"kill."

The 400,000 Ming army, led by two veteran generals and supported by generals such as Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen, Sheng Yong, Ping'an and Song Sheng, also fought their way out from Zhu Chu's left and collided head-on with Timur's army. Together, they started a fierce fight.

Three armies, two battlefields, and forces from all directions were immediately engaged in a killing spree.

This is an unprecedented battle with more than one million people, even reaching the scale of two million people.

The scale of the two battlefields alone is several miles in radius.

If the two battlefields were connected into one, it would be even more difficult to describe.

Zhu Ming was still staying out of the incident at this time. He also led the Chinese army, which numbered hundreds of thousands of people, not to participate in the war.

It seems that the infantrymen who were lost and left behind were basically his Chinese troops?
In fact, it was Zhu Zhen who replaced the left army's troops with his own cavalry, allowing Feng Sheng and Fu Youde to control 400,000 cavalry. Otherwise, they would have been at a huge disadvantage. Not only would they have to face more Timur troops, but they would also have less cavalry. How can I beat him?

"Is it time for the infantry to follow up? Mu Sheng, it's time for you to show off. Go to the rear to join the infantry troops, pass over from the left, and block Timur's retreat. From the rear Completely eliminate Timur here."

Zhu Zhen suddenly issued an order.

A war of this level cannot be easily ended.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen deliberately hid the infantry behind him, and then Mu Sheng led his 50,000 troops, plus about 200,000 infantry, to sneak to Timur's rear. When the time comes, he will suddenly attack. Timur can be caught off guard.

"Destroy Timur first. As for Wala and Ulyanha, their homes are here, can they still run away?"
