Daming is founded on martial arts, and the most important thing is to be successful in battle.
In the eyes of the ministers, the silver helmet with feathers inserted in the Feilin army soldiers, quickly stepped forward, kneeling on one knee to put the military newspaper, hands above the head.
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to take it, but halfway, he took his hand back.
"Da Sun, read it!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunzhang finished excitedly, then somewhat excitedly picked up the military report from the border.
This was the first time he had read Daming's victory report, and even more so, the first time he had witnessed Daming's victory. Often later generations say how weak Daming is, but this era of Daming, not only strong soldiers and horses, famous generals such as clouds, and dare to strike, with the vigor of offending Daming will be executed.
"I Lan Yu enlightens His Majesty, I arrived in Taozhou on the third day of this month ........."
"False Yuan thieves cunning, see Daming army come, then and fight and retreat to escape to the desert ...."
"I know that the pseudo yuan thieves want to lure me into the desert, surrounded and annihilated, so I will be the trick ....."
The clear and loud voice came out from Zhu Yunyun's mouth, and the group of ministers listened quietly.
While Zhu Yunyun recited, images about the border battlefield emerged in his mind.
Taozhou, located in the northwest of the Daming Empire, is the old land of the Qiang people.
Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has always been a place of contention for the Central Plains because of the abundant water and grass here that can provide the Central Plains with quality war horses.
All along, these Hu and Han people have been living together, but the Hu people here have not expressed the kind of aggressiveness towards the Central Plains Dynasty. They have also always relied on the Central Plains Dynasty to provide tea, iron horse cloth and so on.
Beyond Taozhou is the desert, half grass, half sand desert.
Not windy, yellow sand and grass coexist, occasionally some of the lake ripples, when the sun sets, the lake on the water, reflecting the soft colorful light.
But when the wind is blowing, the yellow sand in the sky dances wildly, and the whole world is yellow.
The wind was up again, and the coarse sand hit one's face like a blunt knife slowly cutting it.
In the middle of the desert, a majestic army marched with difficulty through the wind and sand.
Their faces were etched with frost, their eyes were weary, their lips were parched, their skin was cracked, and their armor was full of wind and dust.
They had come from thousands of miles of hasty marching, full of warlike intentions met with evasive opponents, and they dragged their weary bodies into the desert and began the pursuit.
Most of them were two-legged, but their enemies were four-legged.
Under the boundless wind and sand, the strong man's sword is collected in the box, only waiting for the thief's trail is now, blue blood and heart stained yellow sand.
Thieves, luring the enemy deep.
The Ming army, will trick.
The military newspaper only simple eight words, but the sand in the difficult trekking in the desert, every step, the Ming soldiers are walking very hard.
"False Yuan thieves thirty-five thousand, the minister's troops are divided into two roads, all the way Longchamp cavalry from the east side of the deep desert, behind the enemy rampage."
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
"All the way twenty-four thousand people, I personally led, all infantry ......."
Reading this, Zhu Yunyun couldn't help but be alarmed.
Lan Yu is crazy!
Twenty-four thousand people are alone, they are facing an enemy that not only outnumbers them by ten thousand, but they are all cavalry, all of them are Northern Yuan's godforsaken iron cavalry.
How can they fight against the cavalry?
Cavalry has a high-speed mobility, and the cavalry of the Northern Yuan are from childhood on horseback good at riding and shooting warriors, they are a double horse, hungry to eat cheese, thirsty to drink horse milk. The infantry not only could not outrun them, but also had a long logistical supply line.
However, at this moment, upon hearing Zhu Yun's voice, Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon chair laughed aloud.
"Lan Yu is getting more and more refined in this battle!"
Zhu Yunzhang continues to read down with doubt in his heart, "I encountered the False Yuan army in the depths of the desert, at the water supply point of the Yueya Sea. Thief chief for ali buge family descendant ha咎, as well as surrendered to restore the rebellion of the former Ming Jianchang Wei commanding officer of the month Lu Timur, thief thirty thousand cavalry, cover the sky and come!"
"Report!"
In the midst of the yellow sand, a cavalryman with a small flag on his back, beat his horse and galloped furiously to the blue jade marshal flag.
The sun, moon and star flag of Daming was on the left, and the blue banner was on the right.
Below the banner, heavily armored elites surrounded Lan Yu, whose sideburns were slightly white and his face was full of frost, but his eyes were like electricity.
"Phew!" The warhorse under the rider's crotch stops at the command, as the impact causes its front legs to become airborne, kicking uncontrollably, and the dense mane on the warhorse's neck flutters amidst the yellow sand.
"Reporting to the Marshal, scouting horses found the main force of Pseudo-Yuan cavalry in front, at least around 100,000, and there are nearly 10,000 more cavalry thirty miles away quietly circling around to the rear of our army!"
"Hahaha!" Lan Yu and the generals under him instantly burst out laughing, "Damn it, the son of a bitch has finally probed."
Laughing, Lan Yu suddenly raised his right arm high.
Then several cavalrymen came out of Blue Yu's side with their horses, "The marshal has ordered to stop the march!"
"The son of a bitch has come to the door, cop a greeting!" Lan Yu hissed.
"Here!" The generals tapped the heart protector on their chests with their horsewhip handles, and then walked into the troops to restrain their soldiers.
Amidst the roiling yellow sands outside the plug, the war drums of the Central Plains resounded.
Dang dang dang!
The drums were like thunder, spreading across the four fields like a storm, shaking the sands outside of the Seychelles.
The yellow sand in the sky seemed to be shocked by the war drums, and even slowly got smaller, allowing the sunlight to reappear on the earth.
The sunlight in the desert was bright, and the reflected light of the soldiers' weapons and armor was even more dazzling.
The twenty-four thousand plus army, guided by the war drums and rattling battle flags, was divided into three huge squares, with the center army's blue jade banner on top of a sand dune, and the remaining two in front of its feet. If one looked down from the sky, it was exactly an upside down zigzag shape.
Blue Jade jumped off the warhorse, his rough big hand stroked the cheek of the warhorse twice, then sat down on the small horse zipper opened by his personal soldiers, and looked ahead with a tiger's eye.
Ahead, in the line of sight, ghost-like cavalry opened up on the high hill, in the desert, appearing on the horizon .
"Raise the great flag of our Great Ming." Lan Yu's horse whip pointed ahead, said with a big smile, "Tell the North Yuan people, Great Ming Lan Yu is here, have the guts to come and fight!"
Whew, the flag was raised high.
Against the wind in the desert, it clattered.
The soldiers in the square formation looked back at the windy Daming battle flag on the dunes, and their eyes became tougher.
That was the flag of home, that was the flag of Daming.
That flag danced in the wind, just like the war dance of the Han men when they went out to war during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
"Roar!"
More than 20,000 Daming men struck the weapons in their hands and let out a beast-like hiss from their chests.
Immediately after, shouts that resounded through the heavens and earth, making the yellow sands tremble and the sky change color, suddenly rang out.
"Daming men are here, have the guts to fight!"
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The response of the Hu people came, it was the trembling of the horse's hooves stamping on the earth like an earthquake.
On the surrounding dunes in this trembling, yellow sand fell.
The moment the countless cavalry charged up, their shadows covered the earth, blocked the sunlight, and even solidified the air.
The smoke and dust was like a storm as the iron hooves advanced.
The surging iron cavalry was like a flood that broke the dike, raging across the earth.
They had come.
The iron hooves that had ravaged the land of China for hundreds of years had come.
Their curved swords reflected cold light in the sunlight, and their mouths emitted swooshing strange cries.
Their warhorses galloped to the extreme, and their faces were so hideous.
This was the desert, this was their homeland.
Here, they were going to bury these Ming people in front of them with their machetes.
Rumble, rumble.
The sound of horses' hooves, getting louder and louder, shocking.
Thud, thud!
The war drums of the Great Ming began to echo between heaven and earth.
