When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but burst out laughing with his head raised.

He looked at Zhu Ming with joy and said loudly, "Okay, I have to admit that having you here to help, Xiao Zhu, does make things much easier and more convenient."

Zhu Gang nodded vigorously, indicating that he fully agreed with Zhu Di's words.

He looked at Zhu Di with a firm gaze and said loudly: "Fourth Brother, don't fight with me this time! I am the emperor of the Zhengde Ming Dynasty. If we fight in the Zhengde Ming Dynasty, let me fire the first shot!"

Zhu Di did not hesitate at all and responded immediately: "No problem! Then you will be in charge of commanding the Hongwu Army. I will stay behind to support you and watch how you win."

Before this, Zhu Gang had participated in many battles with the Wanchao coalition forces and accumulated extremely rich experience in command and combat.

He was well aware of all kinds of advanced weapons and equipment equipped by the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties.

Moreover, Zhu Gang is by no means an unreliable teammate. His military talent and leadership ability are obvious to all.

Although Xu Da was the commander of the Hongwu Army, he fully affirmed and supported Zhu Gang's request.

Xu Da smiled, patted Zhu Gang on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "Good boy, I will leave the First Army to you to lead! Go ahead and fight bravely. After the battle, I will report your heroic performance to His Majesty truthfully."

Hearing this, Zhu Gang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He quickly clasped his hands together, bowed and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Commander, for your trust and support!"

Zhu Gang commanded the First Army of the Hongwu Legion with great majesty, and advanced towards the area where the Tatars were entrenched with firm and powerful steps.

Behind him, many powerful generals of the Zhengde Ming Dynasty followed closely.

These generals were not very familiar with the weapons and equipment used by the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties, and they led 10,000 elite troops from the Zhengde Ming Dynasty to follow them.

Zhu Ming took his cell phone and quickly caught up with the team.

There are also drones flying in the sky.

I thought to myself: I must record this thrilling battle in its entirety. Perhaps hundreds of years later, if someone could accidentally discover this video footage, it would become an extremely precious treasure with great historical value.

At the same time, in the Tatar camp, the little prince was sitting leisurely in his tent.

Suddenly, a panicked subordinate came to report: "Khan, something bad has happened! According to the news from the front, the Ming army has appeared less than ten miles away from here, and is approaching us at a very fast speed!"

Upon hearing this shocking news, the little prince stood up suddenly, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.

He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "What did you say? The Ming Dynasty actually arrived here in such a short time? What on earth were those patrolling scouts doing? Are they all blind? Why didn't anyone come back to report this before? "

Before setting up camp, they had already sent people to carefully scout the terrain within a radius of thirty miles, and after confirming that there were no traces of Ming soldiers around, they decided to rest here temporarily.

Not only that, from beginning to end, they arranged special personnel to patrol and stand guard around the camp at all times just in case.

This sudden military intelligence, like a bolt from the blue, instantly plunged the little Tatar prince into extreme shock and anger.

I had never expected the current situation to occur.

The first news was that the enemy had quietly appeared only ten miles away from them!
This situation undoubtedly completely disrupted the strategic layout that the Tatar prince had carefully planned.

The little Tatar prince was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone listen up, get ready for battle immediately!"

Following his order, the army, which had been well-organized, suddenly became busy. The soldiers acted quickly, organized their weapons and equipment, and began to assemble into battle formations in a tense and orderly manner, ready to meet the invading enemy.

Before long, the teams of both sides appeared in each other's sight like two surging torrents, with great momentum.

Zhu Gang, who was standing at the front of his own camp, was now holding the exquisite telescope steadily in his hand and observing the enemy's position carefully.

Through the telescope, the enemy's disorganized and unsystematic defensive fortifications came clearly into his sight.

Seeing this, Zhu Gang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he curled his lips with disdain and said, "Humph, these guys actually dared to unite with other tribes and rashly go south. I thought they had some real ability, but I didn't expect them to come up with such a rubbish. Let alone our current coalition army equipped with heavy machine guns and powerful cannons, even in the past era of using cold weapons, with my strength, I am absolutely sure that I can defeat them in one fell swoop. Look at this so-called fortification, it is simply vulnerable! I can just unload a few trucks of stones and pile them here, I am afraid it will be much better than this thing they made."

Zhu Ming was also slightly stunned. Even though he was not familiar with leading troops in battle, he could feel that the opponent's defense had a lot of loopholes. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I think if I were to arrange the defense, it would be better than what the opponent did."

Lan Yu raised his head and laughed loudly, his laughter was deafening: "Even the Potato King thinks that this battle is so bad, it seems that it is really not going to work!"

At this time, the little Tatar prince was standing on a high slope, looking at the mighty army on the opposite side. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk, closely watching the other side's every move, but there was a bit of doubt in his eyes.

The flags of the Ten Thousand Dynasties coalition fluttered in the wind, and their style was completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty's flags.

Not only that, what is even more strange is that this army was not equipped with common weapons such as bows and crossbows, spears and round shields. Everyone only held something like a fire stick in their hands.

"Could it be that these people came here on purpose to seek refuge with this prince?"

The little Tatar prince thought to himself, and suddenly his face brightened.

One of his subordinates immediately flattered him, "Haha, I guess the Khan's reputation has intimidated them, so they took the initiative to come and submit. To show their sincerity, they even rushed here without weapons."

When the generals heard this, they all echoed, "Congratulations, Khan. Now that a new force has joined our Tatar tribe, our strength must have increased a lot!"

A general also smiled flatteringly and said: "Once we successfully recruit them in the future, coupled with your wise leadership, Khan, we will be able to gradually integrate the entire Mobei region. Maybe in the near future, we can even revive the former glory of the Mongolian Empire!"

Everyone was immersed in beautiful fantasies, as if victory was just around the corner.

On the other side, Zhu Gang had no idea what the Tatars were thinking.

Seeing that the enemy troops on the opposite side had gradually entered the effective range of his own artillery, he gave orders without hesitation, asking the artillerymen to quickly prepare for firing.

With his order, hundreds of cannons roared in unison in an instant, making an earth-shaking roar.

The huge shells were like meteors with long tails, streaking across the boundless sky, crisscrossing and interweaving in the air, forming an impenetrable and daunting giant net. This net woven by shells was as powerful as thunder and overwhelming, and it flew straight towards the enemy formation on the opposite side, just like a group of ferocious falcons swooping down on their prey.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, like that of thunder, suddenly erupted, echoing between heaven and earth.

The Tatar tribe's camp was instantly thrown into chaos by the sudden and fierce artillery bombardment.

The panicked tribal soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies, with shouts and screams rising and falling, resounding through the sky.

In this day and age, cannons are no longer rare.

Even the Tatar tribe had a few guns, but their power was far inferior to the mighty Krupp cannons in front of them. In an instant, the Tatar base camp was engulfed in a blazing sea of ​​fire, with flames rising into the sky and thick smoke billowing, covering the sky and the sun.

Faced with such a tragic scene, the little Tatar prince's eyes were red with anger. He roared in anger: "Damn it! How dare they play tricks on us! They are not here to surrender at all. Men, cheer up and don't be afraid. Just charge forward and these damn cannons will become a pile of useless scrap metal!"

Zhu Gang drew out the gleaming pistol from his waist, raised his arm and shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my orders, follow me and charge into battle! Kill!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Gang rushed forward like an arrow from a bow, leading the charge.

The agile posture and fearless momentum seemed to tear the entire battlefield apart.

Behind him, the morale of thousands of soldiers was boosted immediately after seeing this scene!
Everyone followed Zhu Gang's steps closely, and rushed forward like a surging tide.

At the same time, the generals who came with Zhengde Daming were all shocked.

They never expected that the newly enthroned emperor would be so brave and dare to be the first to lead the charge.

For a moment, these generals were so excited that they followed without any hesitation.

The Zhengde ministers who were watching the battle in the rear could no longer sit still.

They looked at the figure that was gradually going away, their faces were as pale as paper, and they kept shouting, "No!" "Protect His Majesty!" and so on.

After all, in their view, when the emperor led the army in person, he only needed to sit in the rear and command the overall situation. Why would he need to personally go into battle and charge into battle?

If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The Battle of Tumubao is still vivid in our memory.

Li Dongyang, standing in the crowd, felt filled with regret.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself: Should I have never proposed the suggestion of leading the army in person?
If the emperor unfortunately dies on the battlefield this time, then I will have committed a heinous crime!

"Were the previous generations of the Ming Dynasty all so fierce?"

Just as the distance between the two sides was rapidly narrowing again.

"boom!"

Zhu Gang decisively pulled the trigger and fired the first shot.

Immediately afterwards, the gunfire from the Wanchao coalition forces began to crackle like frying beans, and dense bullets poured down like raindrops, madly sweeping towards the enemy.

After generations of continuous improvements, the firearms equipped by the Allied Forces of the Ten Thousand Dynasties have been transformed. Their range, speed, and power have all been significantly improved compared to the past.

The Tatar cavalrymen had not even drawn their bows before deadly bullets rained down on them.

Without any preparation, he fell on the road.

As we all know, cavalry usually gather together when launching a charge to form a powerful impact and combat effectiveness.

However, the tight formation became a fatal weakness when facing the advanced muskets in the hands of the coalition forces of Wanchao.

For the coalition forces of all dynasties, such densely packed enemies were simply perfect shooting targets.

This is not a war at all, it is clearly a ruthless one-sided harvest!
Large groups of Tatar cavalry fell one after another like wheat cut by a sickle.

The little Tatar prince was stunned when he saw his elite cavalry unit, which he was so proud of, suffer a severe blow in an instant.

He widened his eyes and looked ahead in disbelief.

Soon, he realized that those seemingly inconspicuous weapons were not ordinary fire sticks, but more powerful muskets that had never been used in the Ming Dynasty before.

When did the Ming Dynasty's muskets become so powerful?
This question deeply troubled the little Tatar prince, but unfortunately, he would never be able to find the answer.

At this moment, there was a loud "bang" and a high-speed bullet accurately hit the little prince's forehead.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the little prince screamed and fell off his horse.

His head hit the ground heavily, and immediately red and white substances spread out. Among them, a pool of mucus that looked like tofu brain was particularly eye-catching.

With the death of the little prince, the outcome of this battle seems to be in no doubt...

Zhu Gang sent people to clean up the battlefield.

Of the 50,000 Tatar soldiers, 70% were spread out in a haphazard pattern on the surrounding wasteland.

The rest lay trembling on the ground.

On the other hand, the losses on the Wanchao coalition side were minimal.

"Hahahaha, it feels so good. I haven't felt this good in a long time!"

"I never thought that the battle would be resolved in less than half an hour!"

"I thought the Tatars were so powerful, but this is all they are?"

"It's not that the enemy is weak, it's just that our friendly forces are too strong!"

The military generals of the Zhengde Ming Dynasty experienced this kind of dimensionality reduction battle for the first time.

I looked around from time to time and it felt a little unreal.

Zhu Gang smiled and said, "My dear ministers, don't be surprised. You will get used to it in time."

The generals present looked at Zhu Gang, their eyes flashing with conviction and fear.

From now on, if anyone says that the new emperor is a fake, and is not Taizu’s son at all, and is just using Taizu’s name to rebel, they will dare to slap him in the face.

With such strength, there is no need for such fancy things.

"Congratulations, third brother!" Zhu Di said with a laugh.

Zhu Gang waved his hand: "It's as expected. With the help of the Ten Thousand Dynasties coalition, if the battle against the Tatars gets tough, I'll just kill myself. By the way, where's Brother Zhu? Let's go to the next target." (End of this chapter)
