    boundary bridge.

    Although it is called a bridge, this bridge is quite shabby. There happens to be a river passing by. The only bad thing is that the river is too shallow and too stingy.

    Coupled with this weather, the river water did not surge, and a lot of silt was exposed on the river bed.

    However, the new army could barely confront the Mongolian army on the other side by taking advantage of this river.

    Early in the morning, the Mongols organized an attack without hesitation. They explored the water level, chose a shallow place in the river, and tried to rein in their horses and charge directly.

    Originally, this crude method of warfare might be useful when encountering other Ming armies, but this time they encountered the new army and seemed to be in trouble.

    Thousands of Mongolian troops came roaring in. After entering the river, their speed slowed down. On the opposite side, there was a loud sound of gunfire and countless artillery roars. Only then did the charging Mongolian army realize that they were in trouble. They were stuck in the river and could not advance.  Having no choice but to retreat, they ended up being directly targeted. Only after paying the price of nearly a thousand casualties did they retreat.

    At this time, the Mongolian army began to re-examine its new opponent. The new army on the opposite side was obviously different from the other Ming armies. The Mongolians had also summarized the specific differences.

    First of all, the enemy across the river uses firearms on a large scale. Not only is the ratio of firearms extremely high, but both blunderbuss and artillery are several grades higher than those of the frontier troops.

    Second, their tactics are very proficient. Although the frontier army also has Shenji battalions, they do not have targeted tactics. In other words, although they have tactics, they cannot be used because of training.  But the new army on the opposite side is different. They are very organized. They seem to have rules when to fire volleys and when to fire artillery.

    This is the most deadly thing. Even if the Mongolians have the courage to brave the hail of bullets, war horses are different. War horses are the most easily frightened. Once frightened, they will be difficult to control.

    In addition, this river is neither spacious nor fast. Although the Mongolians are not bad at water, they are not unable to cross such a river. But it is different now. Now they encounter such a Ming army, the problem seems to be  Somewhat big.

    Afterwards, the Mongolian army organized several more attacks but all failed.  Under this situation, they chose to wait and see temporarily, which gave the Ming army on the opposite side a chance to breathe. The new army immediately started to dig trenches in an area of ??more than 20 miles and established a temporary  The barn has hidden mines buried in many places. The so-called hidden mines are actually similar to the landmines of later generations. However, due to the limitations of the times, they are probably worse than the homemade bombs of later generations. However, once this thing explodes, it may not be able to  It is effective in killing the enemy, but it always frightens the enemy's horses. To deal with the cavalry, you must deal with the horses first, so the new troops are quite happy to bury them.

    In addition, there are also snagging ropes and horse-repelling horses for war horses, and a large number of traps are even prepared on both wings.

    Liu Chengfeng is determined to spend time with the Mongols here. The longer the delay is, the safer the capital will be. If the Mongols go deeper into the pass, it will definitely be more difficult to provide supplies, so it is beneficial to him to delay.

    However, everyone was still a little discouraged. Liu Chengfeng was still inquiring about the emperor. He was not a foolish and loyal person, but he only remembered the promise he made to the late emperor.

    On the other side of the river, more and more Mongolian troops were arriving one after another. At first, they numbered only a few thousand. In the following days, they continued to gather, and the number reached nearly 100,000.

    They set up camp on the other side of the river and were ready to confront the new army.

    "However, the confrontation between the New Army and the Mongolian Army is determined to delay time, but the confrontation between the Mongolian Army and the Mongolian Army is constantly looking for fighter opportunities.

    In the large tent of the Mongolian army, there were Persian carpets and a bookcase on the left and right. There were many Han books in the bookcase.  The scent mixed with musk hit his face. On the table, two people sat opposite each other and played chess seriously.

    Sitting on the left is a woman with a plump figure and fair complexion. She is wearing a loose Mongolian cotton skirt. The skirt is decorated with gold threads that are only available to top nobles. Her beautiful eyes are focused on the chess game.  He pursed his lips slightly and bit his teeth.

    The one on the right is a young man wearing Mongolian robes. The young man is quite heroic, but he has a bit of childishness. He seems to have been cornered in the seventh game, so his brows are deeply furrowed and he looks depressed.  Not happy.

    "No more." The young man began to lie.

    The woman smiled slightly and put down the sunspot that was about to fall in her hand. She was surprisingly good-tempered and said: "How is it? The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is just not as good as me. He can't fight with real guns and can't play chess. Emperor  Your Majesty, how many games have you lost?"

    The young man is Zhu Houzhao.

    Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with indignation.The weather was really not good, so he finally escaped to Jixian County and was about to fight a decisive battle with the Mongols. Unexpectedly, the Mongols had already launched an offensive. Before he could use all his methods, he became a prisoner.

    However, the treatment of this prisoner seems to be pretty good. At least the Mongol Khan treats him very well. In addition to not being allowed to escape, he can move freely. The Mongol Khan even allowed Han prisoners to accompany Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao became less and less like a prisoner.  After awakening, I felt a little novel. I ate mare kumis, beef and mutton every day, and felt happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

    What he wants is just to be free, and he seems quite comfortable here.

    However, he was very unconvinced, but there was nothing he could do against this woman. This woman was like his natural nemesis. He lost the battle, and she killed every piece of his chess piece. What was even more hateful was every word she said.  The words were all tit for tat, but Zhu Houzhao couldn't do anything to her.

    Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "So what, even if you beat me, you can't beat Master Liu. Master Liu is on the other side of the river now. If you have the ability, lead someone to rush over and have a look. The Mongolian cavalry is certainly the best.  It is unparalleled in the world, but the new army of the Ming Dynasty is not a vegetarian."

    Li Ruofan yawned lazily, picked up the chess pieces scattered on the coffee table, and said, "Really? This may not be the case."

    Zhu Houzhao cheered up: "You said it was not possible, but why did you stand still?"

    Li Ruofan said: "Using troops is nothing more than exploiting loopholes and cannot be forced. Although the Mongolian cavalry is invincible, it cannot be forced. For example, your Ming Dynasty has many passes. Is this Khan stupid enough to attack your passes head-on? This Khan  I am not interested. I only need to provide inducements to exploit a loophole in Shanhaiguan. The effect is many times better than a strong attack. Therefore, I also plan to exploit these new troops. They are just relying on the river to hold on. Look.  It's impregnable up there, but it's not the case. The reason why I stood still was not because I was afraid of your Master Liu, but because I wanted to wait and see to see if there were any loopholes to exploit."

    Zhu Houzhao was deeply taught. It turned out that this battle was different from what he thought. Not only did he rely on bravery to fight, but he also had to be good at maneuvering. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you think there is any loophole to exploit?"

    Li Ruofan yawned, his reddish eyes trembled, and said with a smile: "Are you here to check on me?"

    Zhu Houzhao quickly said seriously: "It's just a question. Besides, I am your prisoner now. Even if I find out something, what can I do? I just want to see how you deal with Master Liu."

    Li Ruofan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, it's actually very simple. I have already planned to send a cavalry to bypass the river from the flank and attack on the side."

    Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Master Liu, couldn't you have imagined that by the time you walked around, he would have already treated you sternly? Don't you know how powerful the new army is?"

    Li Ruofan smiled again and said: "I asked him to be serious and wait for the cavalry on the flanks. When he was serious about waiting for the cavalry on the flanks, I was determined to break through from the front."

    Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought and muttered for a long time: "It's a good idea to move the tiger away from the mountain, but if we cross the river, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties."

    Li Ruofan laughed again, and when he laughed, a cloud of red rose up on his cheeks, and said: "So I have another way, which is to drive the prisoners of the Ming army in front. Even if your Master Liu attacks, the biggest casualties will be your Ming army."  Army yourself.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao said: "You are too insidious. ThisthisMaster Liu will not let you succeed."

    Li Ruofan stroked the messy hair on his forehead and smiled again: "Of course he won't let me succeed. This stinky man is so hard-hearted that he doesn't even want his own son, let alone those prisoners. But I still have a way, I  I plan to ask His Majesty to clear the way for our warriors, and then we will see if they dare to set off artillery and blunderbuss."

    Zhu Houzhao was stunned. This could no longer be described as sinister. He first pretended to attack the flanks and mobilized some of the new troops. Then he expelled the surrendered troops and crossed the river to block their muskets and artillery. Finally, he filled in himself and the new troops on the other side.  Who dares to act rashly? When the Mongolian army crosses the riverthe consequences will be disastrous.

    "Hey" Li Ruofan sighed, glanced at the stunned Zhu Houzhao with his eyebrows, and said: "Of course, I think you are quite interesting and will not let you take risks, so I am not really driving you away.  Instead of letting a person cross the river wearing your dragon robe, no matter whether the people on the other side believe it or not, they dare not act rashly."

    Zhu Houzhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "It seems that Master Liu is going to lose."

    Li Ruofan gritted his teeth and said: "Of course he loses. Doesn't he always think that he is the best in the world? I just want to show him some color. By the way, when I take over theOriginally, let him be my subject obediently. Your Majesty the Emperor, you don¡¯t have to be afraid. I won¡¯t treat you badly. When Mongolia takes over the world, I won¡¯t destroy your life. Why don¡¯t I give you a title?  Donghunhou.  "

    "Donghunhou" Zhu Houzhao said with tears streaming down his face: "I actually want to be the marshal in charge of the world's armies and horses."

    This time it was Li Ruofan's turn to sneer: "You, a deposed emperor, still dare to bargain, so the matter is settled. You are the Marquis of Donghun, and your Master Liu is Uncle Nan Chou. It just happens to satisfy you." (To be continued.)  If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward (this site). Your support is my biggest motivation.)
