My Daming New Empire

Although the [-] battalion has expanded to nearly [-] people, the name has not changed.

The Three Thousand Battalion is different from the Fifth Army Battalion. Its subordinates are all cavalry. Although this cavalry unit is small in number, it is the most powerful cavalry force under Zhu Di's command. They mainly play the role of assault in the war.

The commanding envoys are all majestic Mongolian and Yuan men. They usually look simple and honest, but they are reckless in battle, known as the desperate Saburo.

This person was originally a Mongolian slave, and he hated the Mongolian people to the bone, and there were almost no prisoners under his command.

At this time, the battlefield was less than 1000 meters away from Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, and they could see clearly even without binoculars.

There is no difference in combat effectiveness between the Three Thousand Battalion and the Oirats. They are both of the same nationality and veterans of hundreds of battles. Their battles are also extremely tragic.

As the [-] Battalion entered the battle, banners were erected around Zhu Di, and the infantry phalanx also began to attack.

Unlike the scattered cavalry, the infantry phalanx has always maintained a neat pace, especially the spear formation in the front row, even during the attack, it did not disperse.

This kind of discipline has greatly improved Zhu Zhanji's judgment on the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the early Ming Dynasty. This kind of momentum has almost completely subverted his view of the quality of ancient soldiers.

He remembered a movie "Gladiator" he had seen. The soldiers of Ming Dynasty might not be as strong as those Westerners in terms of physique, but their discipline was not weaker than the Roman legions in the movie.

Seeing Daming's front infantry move out, another group of Wala cavalry rushed over.Judging from the scale of the attack, the Oirats have dispatched nearly half of them, but the Ming army has dispatched less than one-tenth.

However, the joining of this army was not to attack, but only to put pressure on the cavalry of Ming Dynasty, and then let the Oala cavalry trapped in the battlefield withdraw from the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and said, "The Wala people are going to retreat."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Grandfather, why don't you let the archers go out, but instead use the cavalry to go head-to-head with the opponent?"

"We have bows, and so does the other side. Fast horses are galloping, and short-distance quick shots are only two rounds, and the effect is limited. Positional warfare is non-contact warfare, both sides are fighting bravely, and when the Oirats enter the range, the archers are limited. What's more, the opponent only has [-] There are more than [-] cavalry in our army, if they can't subdue the Oirats head-on, how can they admit defeat?"

"Then why not pursue?"

"Our army hasn't eaten yet, even if we pursue them, we won't be able to last long, and we are even more afraid that they will escape and never come back, so we give Mahamu a little hope for the time being, and we will deal with them properly later."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was still puzzled, Zhu Di added another sentence: "Don't worry, Mahamu will not stop there in order to prove his ability to other tribes."

Zhu Zhanji found that when he considered problems with modern thinking, he was often out of tune with this era.

Some very simple understandings, I think I am superior to the present, but in the end I find that they are not suitable for the present at all.

And some of the thinking of these ancient people made him find it difficult to understand.

Fortunately, he is the grandson, he is the emperor's favorite grandson, except for a few people, he doesn't have to accommodate others at all.

If he hadn't crossed over to become a grandson, but was an ordinary person, he might have no choice but to become a pirate besides rebellion.

Otherwise, with his character, living in this oppressive era, he wouldn't be able to bear it for a day.

There was a vague sound of horns coming from the opposite side. Amidst the sound of fighting on the battlefield, if you didn't pay attention, you couldn't hear it at all.

And the drums on Daming's side also stopped, and the copper gongs were struck, which is the so-called Mingjin retreat.

Zhu Zhanji bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to visit the wounded sergeant, and I hope Grandpa Huang will grant you permission."

At this time, it is a great time to win people's hearts. Although Zhu Zhanji can't directly win over the generals, Zhu Di probably won't care if he sells well in front of the soldiers.

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's request, Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and said, "It's rare that you have the thought to put on my guard of honor and greet the wounded sergeant for me."

Only by entering the battlefield can we clearly understand the cruelty of war in this era.

Under the backward medical foundation, injuries, especially serious injuries and internal injuries, often represent the end of a life.

Daming is powerful and has a large number of people. Although it is passive in the battle situation, it firmly holds the upper hand on the battlefield.

The retreating soldiers of the Oirats, the wounded soldiers, and the soldiers who fell from their horses were also left on the battlefield.

Those soldiers who were seriously injured were stabbed by Da Ming's soldiers, and then their heads were chopped off.

They didn't care about the blood on the battlefield at all, and reported to the supervisor happily with the heads still dripping blood.

This head of Beiyuan is actually 20 taels of silver, which is more than half a year's salary based on the current soldier's income.

If someone killed a few enemies and married a wife, he would earn all the money to build the house.

But when they came to the wounded barracks, the atmosphere here became much more depressed.

Although under the influence of Zhu Zhanji, the army recruited many military doctors.But these military doctors can only treat some traumas, serious internal injuries, or traumas with severed hands and feet, so they can only resign themselves to their fate.

Therefore, many soldiers were surrounded by close colleagues, taking the last words back before they died.

Zhu Zhanji put on the posture of a leader visiting a hero on the TV of later generations, without the slightest airs, condolences to everyone one by one.

His appearance also made everyone very excited. Some soldiers who were slightly injured even knelt down excitedly, crying bitterly.

One of the soldiers, who was not yet 20 years old, did not cry when his left hand was broken.But Zhu Zhanji just said a few good words in a harmonious voice, and he cried like a child with excitement.

And people like him accounted for more than half of them. To them, the grandson and them were the difference between heaven and earth.

In his heart, Zhu Zhanji was still a little happy. For a master like him, he was happy to see this kind of solidified class concept.

The battle lasted less than an hour, but both sides suffered more than 500 casualties.

Nearly [-] soldiers of Ming Dynasty died on the spot, and another [-] people became disabled even if they could not die.

But the Oirats suffered even greater losses. They left at least 400 people behind, and only a few of them were tied up with their lives.

However, the war is not over yet, what awaits them is the torture interrogation by Jin Yiwei, and I am afraid that their life will be worse than death.

Chapter 51 Never Back Down

Suddenly there was a loud noise, followed by the sound of war drums.

Zhu Zhanji looked up, only to see the Oirats who had just withdrawn their troops rushed over again.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was still in the front line, and the emperor's guard of honor behind him was particularly conspicuous.

Without thinking too much, Zhu Zhanji understood that it must be the emperor's guard of honor behind him that attracted the other party.

The Oirats were probably here to pick up a bargain. Even if they could not threaten the emperor, as long as they saw the emperor fleeing in a hurry, they would boost their own morale and hurt the morale of Ming Dynasty.

Following Zhu Zhanji, Habayashi Zuowei commander Zhao Yongliang and eunuch Li Liang, including Xuanzhen, became nervous. "Your Highness, please retreat for the time being. The enemy's deployment is not small and menacing."

But Zhu Zhanji waved his hand and said, "Gu will never go anywhere, and will never take a step back. Han Cheng, raise the flag!"

The left and right armies he was in were the infantry formations of Dongshengwei and Yunchuanwei. The commanders of the two armies knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, the dragon body is the most important thing. Please retreat for a while, and wait for my guards to meet the enemy."

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Don't you have the confidence to protect Gu?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately stopped persuading and responded loudly: "I swear to protect Your Highness to the death."
