"The heroic spirits will not be scattered!"

"General through the ages!"

The soldiers and civilians of Shaanzhou, who had been devastated by the war, gathered in front of the Martyrs' Shrine, crying loudly, laughing, singing, and sobbing... Both happy and sad.

In the past time, apart from fighting against the Yuan army's attacks, rushing to repair city walls, and digging trenches, if there was a little free time, someone would tell the story of Li Kuan, the shame of Jingkang, the fiasco at Yashan, and the Central Plains' hundred-year loss, and how human lives were not as good as those of cattle and horses.

tragic……

Zhang Ximeng told these things back then, and then the other trainers also told them, and then the veterans told the recruits... batch after batch, the inheritance was orderly and never interrupted.

Moreover, the content is constantly enriched, and there are also forms such as opera and storytelling to deepen the impression.

Even the famous Yue Jiajun could not reach this cultural level.

But no matter how much you talk about it, it's not as good as being there and experiencing it more deeply.

Back then, in order to defend Shaanzhou, Li Yanxian fought against Wanyan Lou's 100,000-strong army for more than a year. He would rather die than surrender... General Li will be loyal and loyal for a long time.

But even so, Shaanxi Province was still lost. The incompetent Emperor Zhao and Song not only gave Shaanxi Province to the Jin people, but also killed Grandpa Yue, cutting off the last hope.

No matter how much you tell Wanyan Gou, no matter how much you apply rouge and powder, it will not change the fact that the Central Plains have been lost.

First it was the Jin people, then the Mongols... I am a descendant of the Yanhuang Miao and a noble nobleman, but today I am worth the same price as livestock... It is not that we do not have brave generals, nor do we not have warriors who risk their lives.

But why are they defeated again and again? It seems that since losing the land of Yanyun, nothing good has happened. They have been defeated and lost... so much so that in the end they have lost all their dignity as a human being and can only crawl on the ground and tremble.

!

This crime is heinous, and the fault lies with Zhao Song!

So what happened to Emperor Zhao and Song?

Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty knelt in front of Yue Fei's tomb, looked at the Central Plains, and apologized to the people of the world!

Yes, not long ago, our great emperor did it!

This is the first time for many people in Shaanzhou to know about this matter.

It turns out that the culprit has already knelt down!

"My Holy Emperor!"

"Longevity to the Ming Dynasty!"

The people were excited and cried bitterly, with tears in their eyes.

Facing the siege of the Yuan army, standing in front of the Martyrs' Shrine... they seemed to be Li Yanxian fighting alone, fighting to the end and never giving up.

They were luckier than Li Yanxian. Li Kuan survived for more than a year, and the incompetent emperor never sent troops to rescue him.

And they only lasted for a month, and the Ming Dynasty had already defeated the Yuan army!

The Jin people, the Mongols... are all barbarians.

Today's Ming Dynasty is about expelling the barbarians and restoring China.

Looking back from this point, a hundred years of shame have been swept away, and most of the shame of Jingkang has also been swept away. The land of Yanyun is still left, so that we can comfort our ancestors and ancestors!

History and reality, success and failure, prosperity and decline... What a great article this is!

"I'm afraid we have to wait for Prime Minister Zhang to write. After we pay homage to the heroes, it is better to cross the river and go north quickly to seize Jiezhou!" Zhu Wenzheng sighed.

Fu Youde hesitated slightly and said, "Li Siqi is still in Tongguan. Is it not good for us to cross the river at this time?"

Zhu Wenzheng laughed loudly, "If Li Siqi had the courage to attack, why would he retreat? Don't worry, what he wants now is to negotiate a peace with us so as to preserve his glory and wealth. Chahan is not our opponent, let alone others!

Let's do this. You will be left with three thousand troops to guard Shaanzhou and take care of the wounded. I will lead Zhao Desheng across the river together."

Fu Youde was still hesitant, worried that something might happen, but Zhu Wenzheng was unwilling to miss the opportunity.

As long as Jiezhou is captured in advance and the last way of survival is closed, the two to three hundred thousand yuan army will be dead!

We must use a hearty victory to comfort our ancestors and wash away the shame!

Zhu Wenzheng packed up the sheepskin raft and crossed the Yellow River. He then released the salt merchants and asked them to lead the way.

In just one month, everything has turned upside down and everything has changed.

Chahan Timur, who originally seemed to have the "advantage in me", turned out to be a silver pewter spear head. Facing the Han and Song Dynasties, he struck hard with his fists. Facing the Ming army, he was submissive and vulnerable.

As of today, there is no need to wait for the final outcome. Zhu Yuanzhang not only established his status as the prince of the Southern Region, but also eliminated the No. 1 seed player in the Northern Region.

As expected, the world will be unified under the Ming Dynasty, and there is no longer any doubt.

The salt merchants were reluctant at first, but now they just wanted to prostrate themselves in front of Zhu Wenzheng and be used as a leg pendant.

Zhu Wenzheng's calculation was very accurate. He successfully crossed the river, passed Zhongtiao Mountain, and appeared outside Jiezhou City. He also sent people to Zhiguanxing to check the situation and prepare to block the road...

Zhu Wenzheng had a good plan, but he was a step too late.

When the Ming army arrived, Wang Baobao had already led 3,000 men, as well as two master runners, Li Keyi and Hu Linchi, heading north towards Jinning.

On the way to escape, Bao Bao Shang was frightened and anxious.

Because not long ago, Ji Ning had returned to Polo Timur. Doesn't his departure mean that he is sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

"Don't worry, young master. Although Polo Timur is domineering, he is not stupid. If he wants to clean up the mess, he must pacify the old army. If he wants to pacify the old army, we don't dare to do anything to the young master. As long as we can keep our voices low.

Just stay small and endure hardships, and you will survive." Hu Linchi advised.

Baobao groaned and lamented, "How can a man stay depressed and depressed for a long time?"

Both of them were stunned by these words. They had obviously suffered a disastrous defeat, so how could the guarantee be any different?

Could it be that after losing his father's protection, this man grew up all of a sudden?

Li Keyi immediately said: "Young Master, there is no need to worry. Polo Timur is too ambitious, and he will become the target of public criticism before long. As long as you wait patiently and endure hardships, you will definitely have the opportunity to take charge of power!"

Baobao thought about it again and again and finally nodded.

These three people embarked on the road back north. As for the outcome of the Yuan army, they did not know and did not dare to think about it.

I am even more afraid that I will lose my fighting spirit and collapse directly.

Because they all know that the result of this battle will be very tragic... to the point where they can't even imagine it.

Their intuition was correct. Just after Bao Bao crossed Mengjin, Deng Yu had already led his troops to Luoyang, and the ancient capital was finally in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Then Feng Guoyong led his troops from west to east, while Wang Bi and Zheng Yuchun commanded the Ming army and militia from east to west. The two sides advanced against each other and swept across the entire land of Henan.

The defeat was so miserable that it far exceeded Chahan Timur's expectations.

He estimated that no matter what, he would not be surrounded, let alone the whole army would be annihilated.

However, as all avenues of survival were cut off and the encirclement continued to tighten, Chahan finally had to admit that he had underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's appetite, and that he would be completely annihilated from the beginning.

"My surname is Zhu, I am not a lamb, I am a liger. If you want to kill me, you have to pay the price!"

Chahan Timur did not choose to stay in Huaiqing and wait for the Ming army. Instead, he took the initiative to attack. He wanted to use elite cavalry to break through the Ming army and carve a road back to Hebei.

Despite successive defeats, Chahan still had a little bit of confidence... He felt that the Mongolian cavalry was still invincible in the field.

The battle ahead is unfavorable because the men under them are too useless, Yan Sixiao, Hu Linchi, Guan Bao, Li Keyi... these ungrateful beasts, each one is worse than the last.

Everyone was thinking about getting promoted and making a fortune, but they were unwilling to work hard and work hard, so they suffered a series of tragic defeats.

If he personally leads the troops, he still has the strength to fight, and the chance of winning is at least 50%.

And just when Chahan was marching eastward with great momentum, Xu Da also gathered his troops, mainly Hua Yun's cavalry, with two wings of infantry covering them, and charged forward with murderous intent.

The two sides approached rapidly, but what was surprising was that Chahan issued another order. He asked the two cavalrymen, Wanhu, to stay on the left, while he commanded the other cavalry on the right, leaving the vast center to the infantry.

Using cavalry to suppress the formation can prevent the infantry from disintegrating and escaping. The infantry is in the middle, and it can rely on the thick military formation to delay the Ming army. Then he personally led the cavalry, protruding from both wings, and rushed straight into the Ming army's formation, winning in one battle.

!

As soon as Chahan Timur completed his deployment, the Ming army had already arrived.

Unlike Chahan, who changes his formation before the battle, Xu Da firmly believes that the key to this battle lies in the elite cavalry... In fact, the previous achievements of Chang Yuchun and others have proven that the Ming army's heavy armored cavalry can be completely dispersed and crushed.

Yuan army.

Even the cavalry and archery skills that the Yuan army was proud of had no chance of winning against the Ming's cavalry.

Of course, if you directly use cavalry to attack an infantry formation, it is like using a diamond to hit a rock. Even if you smash the opponent, there is nothing to be happy about.

Therefore, Xu Da first ordered Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng to lead two teams of infantry soldiers to meet the left wing of the Yuan army. Ten thousand infantry soldiers openly attacked the 20,000 cavalry.

The Ming army wore armor and was armed with sharp blades, long axes and machetes. They were all enemies of cavalry. Coupled with years of training, the Ming army turned into an efficient killing machine.

Behind the first two rows of Ming troops, there are often crossbowmen and a considerable number of fire musketeers.

After meeting the cavalry, they were responsible for disrupting the opponent's formation. The intensive crossbow arrows and projectiles knocked the cavalry off their backs. The soldiers immediately waved their weapons and rushed forward decisively. With long axes and machetes in their hands, they chopped off the horse's legs downwards and the human heads upwards, cleanly and neatly.

No sloppiness.

The two sides collided with each other, blood, shouts, steel, and life, all intertwined tightly without leaving any gaps... The Yuan army sadly discovered that their cavalry was gradually compressed and deformed by the Ming army, and they strode back towards the north.

For the highly mobile cavalry, this seemed not a big problem, and Xu Da was waiting for this opportunity.

He gave the order decisively, and Hua Yun's cavalry drove in through the gap, diagonally cutting through the central formation of the Yuan army.

The iron cavalry surges forward, shaking the heaven and earth, and is unstoppable.
To be continued...
