Li Wenzhong came from the northeast of the Yuan army. He was extremely fast and did not leave any time to react. He rushed in directly with his forward elite cavalry, like a spark of fire.

Li Wenzhong sent not many men, only about 300, and opposite them were as many as 50,000 to 60,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses. With such a small number of men, to attack so many people, wouldn't it be to risk death?

If you hit an egg against a stone, you will definitely lose!

Could it be that every Ming army is a Gundam, possessed by divine weapons, and can be invincible?

Otherwise, if you allow the Ming army to defeat a large number with a small number, that would be cheating!

From an intellectual point of view, this statement is indeed correct. But the problem is that this was the time when the country was founded, and the last thing we talked about was rational logic! What about the comparison of military strength and the huge disparity?

It doesn't hold true at this time, but this was the law at the beginning of the founding of the country!

Otherwise, if you look at the history books and see how Xu Da and Chang Yuchun went on the Northern Expedition, you will be stunned. Is that a human being? He looks like a humanoid Godzilla.

Chang Yuchun often crosses the river to attack with a small number of soldiers and horses, and then shoots the opponent's general to death. It is completely a special force decapitation, and the outcome is decided in one battle.

This kind of thing sounds very fantasy, but the terrible thing is that it is not a coincidence, but it happens continuously in many battles, from south to north.

Kill the general and capture the flag, and you will be invincible.

Xu Da was even more powerful, wiping out tens of thousands of enemies at every turn, as if the people he faced were not humans, but a group of pigs, and very obedient pigs.

Of course, if you open the battle reports of the late Ming Dynasty and deduct the water content, you can kill hundreds of people and cut off a lot of heads, which will be enough for the whole world to celebrate.

People are still those people, they don’t have three heads and six arms.

Why is there such a big gap?

Is it really different?

It seems...it's really different.

What kind of soldiers were there in the early Ming Dynasty? Over the years, the army has eaten more and more meat, and meat and eggs have been supplied. The soldiers' physique has greatly increased, and their immunity is very strong.

Good health, adequate training, courage, and tactical proficiency.

Such soldiers are naturally invincible.

By the end of the dynasty, the soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not go to the battlefield at all.

Many people know that the quality of soldiers is very poor, but they may not know where the difference lies?

First of all, the supply is insufficient, and we can’t even eat enough staple food, let alone vegetables and meat... lack of vegetables, insufficient vitamins, severe night blindness, foot disease, skin ulcers, and sores.

Not eating enough meat, lacking fat intake, not being able to withstand freezing, and having a weak constitution. In summer, many people have to wear cotton-padded jackets.

In addition, sanitary conditions were poor, eye diseases were prevalent, and soldiers commonly suffered from trachoma.

Logically speaking, it's not a big problem.

But due to lack of nutrition, insufficient food, and poor immunity.

Even minor illnesses can be fatal.

So tens of thousands of people are registered, but in fact there are only a few thousand people. If more than half of them are registered, they are considered to be conscientious.

After pulling these people out, there were thousands of people with serious foot diseases who could not keep up with the team, and hundreds of people with bad eyesight who could not see the road clearly. The rest were so weak that they could not hold weapons, their skin was ulcerated, and they could not see the sun.

It was very difficult to march during the day, not to mention the almost 100% night blindness.

It would be strange to be able to fight if they were attacked at night.

Although most of the Yuan army elites in the capital were not so slim, the Ming army they faced was indeed an elite force. Not to mention what Chang Yuchun brought out single-handedly, and after many years of education, they had a literacy rate of more than 30%. Everyone

Their physical fitness is excellent and they are tactically skilled.

Take the cavalry as an example. Those Mongolian cavalry that are said to grow on horseback are not enough in front of real professional cavalry.

When the Ming army rushed towards the Yuan army camp, they suddenly turned sideways and passed by the camp. At the same time, dozens of black things were thrown into the Yuan army camp.

Explosions, gunpowder smoke, sawdust were flying everywhere, and screams were endless.

With the help of firearms, the Yuan army's fence was successfully blown open.

I rushed in all at once.

The battle went smoothly further down. The cavalry were in front, charging and killing without restraint, turning the Yuan army upside down. Nezha made a sea... The following infantry were as powerful as a rainbow and full of enthusiasm. They rushed into the middle of the Yuan army with the momentum of Mount Tai.

.

The killing continued.

The sky was full of fire, and the screams one after another... woke up the Iron Pot Emperor from his sleep.

It is not easy to go south from Shangdu and lead an army to fight.

This is especially true for iron pots that are not young.

He had only been away for a few days and was already exhausted. He was only able to move forward smoothly because of the energy he felt after returning to Dadu.

But as he got closer and closer to Yanshan, he became a little scared. What if the Ming army came to kill them in large numbers?

What if you lose?

Of course, Iron Pot would not admit that he was timid, but changed the word, timid in close proximity to his hometown!

We are old nobles who live forever in the world, in the imperial city, and in the golden flag.

A mere red thief took away my home, and this time we will get it back!

In fact, after several confrontations, both Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang figured out this pattern.

Face the Yuan army. If you pursue them fiercely and drive them to a dead end, they might even break out.

But just take it easy, keep a little energy, and don't tighten the rope.

They will use all kinds of outrageous operations to make the rope tighter.

Don't worry, there are no exceptions.

If you capture Dadu, pursue the victory and capture Xanadu directly, you will most likely capture an empty city and capture some cattle and horses at most.

But it's different now. The emperor, the crown prince, and the civil and military officials all came to see him off.

Li Wenzhong was almost crazy with joy. He divided his troops into five teams and rushed in from all directions. The Yuan army camp was turned into a mess.

If the soldiers cannot find the general, they will not find the soldiers.

The prime minister, who was in charge of the vanguard, immediately dispatched his troops to drive away the Ming army.

As a result, Yesu only brought over less than 3,000 people, and there was no time to put on armor. They were actually scattered by the Ming cavalry.

The Prime Minister was so sad and angry that he almost wanted to cry without tears.

Your Majesty is biased and insists on listening to what that dead eunuch said. What about taking advantage of the situation, getting everyone to respond, succeeding in one battle, and recovering most of the capital?

Now it's good, it's completely in his pocket, and the Ming army can make dumplings.

The emperors and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty are all here. If the entire army is annihilated, wouldn’t the Yuan Dynasty be completely finished?

"Old minister is guilty!"

This man raised his weapon and wanted to commit suicide.

Unexpectedly, an arrow suddenly came and hit the horse's butt. In pain, the horse ran wildly and was quickly led forward. In his haste, he even dropped the weapon in his hand.

Now I can't even try to be loyal.

Compared to Prime Minister Yesu, who was still loyal and brave, Pu Buhua was shocked when he heard the shouts of killing, and he went directly to find Lan Yu.

Something's wrong, why is it different from what you said?

Please explain to me.

You said Pu Buhua is very smart, but he hasn't realized it yet.

Do you think he's stupid? He's messing up Dayuan Junchen Lake again.

In short, his IQ is in the state of Schrödinger's cat.

It's just that Park Buhua's behavior of throwing herself into a trap did not receive a response.

Lan Yu had already taken her entourage to find the iron pot.

Who are you, Pu Buhua, and are you worthy of me?

Just like that, Pu Buhua made a fuss. He thought for a while, and he probably lied to himself because he was greedy for glory and wealth. As a result, the matter was exposed and he ran away in a hurry.

Just wait, as long as I catch you, see if I don't take care of you!

Pu Buhua turned around and fled in a hurry with his cronies.

It's a pity that he has done too many immoral things. Now that the stars are gone, even the emperor and the queen who have always protected him are gone. Who will care about him?

Several close confidants abandoned him and left him.

Not long after running, I was alone.

Looking around, there were Ming troops everywhere, shouting for death. Pu Buhua was so frightened that Pu Buhua trembled all over and ran. His legs didn't work, and he fell to the ground.

Then he was captured by several Ming army soldiers.

The soldiers didn't take him seriously and just locked him up with ordinary Yuan troops.
