Chapter 1326: Enemy
As the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, they saw countless well-equipped and ferocious Ming cavalrymen rushing out of the darkness! These Ming cavalrymen came with the night and flying sand, and appeared without warning. When they arrived in front of them, they were already overwhelming, just like the legendary hell army, and their appearance was exactly the same.
The Yuan army soldiers were all stunned, but the Ming army soldiers were like tigers descending from the mountains. They had spent a whole generation to find this group of old enemies! Even this expedition, they still suffered a lot and suffered enough. They were still worried about being empty-handed again...
This time, after all the hardships, they finally found the real culprit. The anger that the soldiers had accumulated for many days instantly turned into endless power and vented on these damn Yuan soldiers! They rushed into the Yuan army camp with a mighty force, waving their horse spears to kill anyone they saw, and set fire to the tents they saw. Like mad beasts, they roared with red eyes, wanting to tear the enemy in front of them to pieces!
The morale of the Ming army was high and the offensive was fierce, but the Yuan army was unprepared and in chaos. The patrolling soldiers were killed in a blink of an eye, and the outer defense line was also broken in an instant. The army that was sleeping in the camp was not given the opportunity to assemble.
According to Lan Yu's arrangement, the Ming army poured into the Yuan army camp from all directions, rushing around, killing and setting fires, and stirring up the Yuan army soldiers like a sharp blade. They were like demons sowing death, and wherever they went, there was fire and blood.
There were untidy and unarmed Yuan soldiers everywhere. They ran away in panic under the pursuit of the Ming army, and died under the iron hooves and iron spears of the Ming army like a fallen wheat field! It was not until they heard the sound of the horn that they found the direction and ran over together.
That was the barbarian giving a signal. When the Ming army rushed into the camp, he had not rested yet. Hearing the warning outside, he immediately ordered people to put on armor for him, and ordered the outer imperial guards to block the enemy as much as possible to buy time for the inner army to gather.
But when he was dressed neatly and walked out of the tent quickly, he saw fires everywhere outside the camp several miles away, and screams and cries shook the sky.
The barbarian judged that the outer defense line could not be defended, and he did not send troops to add fuel. Instead, he asked the central army to organize the defense line on the spot, and asked people to blow the horn and order all the soldiers to gather to him so that they could reorganize them.
There was actually no problem with his response, but he did not expect the Ming army to come so quickly-the barbarian’s central army had just arranged the defense line, and the Ming army’s vanguard arrived!
That was Wang Bi leading his 10,000 cavalry. After breaking into the Yuan army camp, they drove straight in and took the Northern Yuan Wangting, which was the Ordos in the Mongolian mouth!
The Yuan army was only concerned with escaping, and no one stopped the Ming army’s vanguard, allowing them to rush to the center of the camp smoothly until they ran into the barbarian and his central army.
It was a dark and windy night, and it was impossible to shoot arrows. Wang Bi was anxious to break through the enemy formation and capture the Northern Yuan emperor. There was no rule at this time, just the bravest one wins when they meet on a narrow road! In one word - fuck him!
"Kill!" Wang Bi pointed his long sword and rushed to the enemy formation.
"Kill!" Ten thousand cavalrymen also roared and urged their horses, and rushed forward closely following Wang Bi.
"Kill!" The white-haired barbarian also raised the iron bone flower in his hand and led the central cavalry to meet the Ming army. In a cavalry hand-to-hand fight, whoever is faster and whoever has a neat formation will win! So the cavalry of both armies charged at full speed and collided with each other in a blink of an eye!
This kind of cavalry head-on collision without any fancy is actually very rare. If it is not such a critical moment, no one would be willing to use their precious cavalry to fight head-on.
But the task of Wang Bi's troops is to break through the Northern Yuan royal court as soon as possible. No matter how great the loss is, the task must be completed and Toghon Temur must be captured! So we have to race against time, and there is no time to make a detour like usual.
The mission of Manzi and his imperial guards is just the opposite. They have to stop the Ming army at all costs and buy time for the emperor to move. So they can only fight the Ming army head-on to the end!
At this time, the Ming army's horse lance played a big role. They were equipped with this kind of weapon to restrain the Yuan army's scimitar. But most of the time, the Yuan army would not give them the opportunity to use the horse lance.
But this time, it's finally time for the horse lance to shine!
I saw that the Yuan army had stretched their arms and made the distance of the blade as far as possible, but it still couldn't compare with the length of the horse lance, so it was always the first party to be hit!
And the lance head with blades on both sides, with the force of the warhorse rushing forward, had amazing lethality. The Yuan army was seriously injured and fell off the horse when they touched it, and no one was spared.
The scimitars in the hands of the Yuan army could not cut through the chain mail of the Ming army, so even if the swords chopped on the Ming army, it was still ineffective.
But the Ming army was not completely unscathed. In such a dense formation, many cavalrymen collided with the enemy, including their horses. The war horses fell down with screams, and the knights on the horses were also thrown to the ground.
On the battlefield where countless iron hooves intertwined, the cavalrymen basically died after landing...
The Ming army soldiers were fearless and charged towards the Yuan army one after another, slashing their formations.
Wang Bi's arrowhead was even more unstoppable. The long sword in his hand danced like a silk thread, chopping melons and vegetables and killing all the Yuan army that blocked the way, until he faced an old general holding an iron bone flower.
Sparks flew when the two men's weapons clashed, and they both felt the strength of the other party. With the help of the firelight around, Wang Bi vaguely recognized the other party and laughed and said, "It turned out to be a deserter from Yehuling!"
"Double Sword King?" The old general was the barbarian, and he also recognized Wang Bi.
In the third year of Hongwu, Li Wenzhong was the left deputy general of the expedition. He and the general Xu Da went north separately and led 100,000 people out of Yehuling. They defeated the Yuan army and captured Pingzhang Zhuzhen. Manzi fled in panic.
As a result, the gates of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were wide open, and Li Wenzhong took Yingchang City where Ordu was located. Yuan Zhaozong fled north, and the crown prince Maidilibala and thousands of concubines, palace maids, kings, generals and officials were captured.
This was the greatest shame of Manzi's life, and it was Wang Bi who defeated him.
When the enemies met, they were particularly jealous. Manzi roared and swung the Iron Bone Flower at Wang Bi again!
This time Wang Bi used 80% of his strength and directly swung the Iron Bone Flower of Manzi.
Wang Bi was old, but Manzi was more than ten years older than him, even older.
When people get old, they can no longer rely on their muscles and bones. The older they get, the weaker their blood and energy. Manzi had not fought with others for nearly ten years, but now he had to be forced to fight hand-to-hand. The result can be imagined.
In the next round, Wang Bi cut off his arm.
"Surrender!" Wang Bi said in a deep voice. He still had some respect for this opponent who had persisted until now.
At this time, the Ming army had cleared out all the personal soldiers around the barbarian, but the barbarian laughed and said, "Don't even think about it!"
He raised the iron bone flower in his left hand and charged at Wang Bi again.
Wang Bi rode forward, and with a flash of cold light, he chopped off his head.
