Chapter 524 Yang Xiangguo's brain hole is also very big(1/2)
Red Water Castle.
"They should give up now."
The Minister of State of Longyou in the Great Yuan Dynasty, Mei Guozhen, the King of Chu, looked at the battlefield in the distance with a telescope and said with a sneer.
In his sight, the yellow sand filled the sky.
Countless cavalry were rushing in vain between hollow quad formations.
The descendants of these Mongolian cavalry who once rampant in the Eurasian continent were still holding ancient bows and arrows in their hands and trying to rush towards their opponents.
but……
Times have changed.
The infantrymen of the Eighth Army of the Beijing Battalion, which had been transformed into flintlocks, were scattering small hollow square formations in the long yellow sand, and kept firing bullets out like castles. The smoke of gunpowder filled the hollow square formations, while the Mongolian cavalry kept falling in the sand and dust. The latter was still attacking bravely, rushing to the range and shooting sharp arrows in the range of dense bullets, and then being hit by the close-range flintlock bullets. Before death came, they watched their arrows bounce off their opponents in despair.
There were even brave Mongolian cavalry, who rushed towards the formation with spears.
But there were dense bayonets in front of him.
When he had to stop and stab the Red Turban soldiers with his spear, flintlocks behind the bayonet spewed flames at him.
Or he goes straight forward.
But those Red Turban troops will quickly separate.
As he rushed into the crowd, the bayonets around him would let his blood dry.
On the periphery of the hollow square formation group, the artillery soldiers in Beijing protected by the cavalry were constantly shooting deadly shells at the Mongolian cavalry, and the shells hit the latter one by one, causing blood and blood to splatter.
While the Mongolian cavalry attacked the hollow square formation, the battle between the cavalry on both sides was also in progress, but even if the cavalry fought, the Mongolian cavalry could not defeat their opponents. The cavalry in Beijing was too lazy to even use short spears, and they were directly hedging spears. On the vast battlefield, there were cavalry chasing and killing, and the dead bodies were falling, dyeing the yellow sand red with their blood.
Twenty thousand Mongolian cavalry.
The Red Turban Army that combines 30,000 infantry, cavalry and cannons.
In this way, they were killing on the semi-desertified grassland.
"This is best, so that they will not be reluctant to leave the good days now."
Tian Le, the Minister of War of the Yuan Dynasty and the commander of the last battle between Songshan and Songshan, also held up a telescope and said.
This attack was actually because they deliberately cheated the Mongolian cavalry...
The latter doesn't want to leave.
They had just lived a few good days, how could they be willing to leave?
And they and the titles of Guanzhong who were also reluctant to give up their good days formed a group that was in the northwest in the current Great Yuan Dynasty, and with Mei Guozhen and the exiled groups who advocated withdrawing to the Western Regions, they have been fighting openly and secretly in the court, especially the Jingying's attack on Wushan was not smooth. In fact, it was impossible to go smoothly. There was a complete bastion defense system, and Wuhandao could not transport heavy artillery from Luoyang to the west, so the Jingying, which attacked Wushan, was waiting for the track laying in the rear...
Just like Yang Xiangguo's northern expedition, he laid wooden tracks between Luoyang and Wushan, and then transported heavy artillery from the rear to Wushan battlefield.
It's just a pile of cannons.
If you transport the giant mortar over, the bastion can't block the giant flowering bullet, right?
It just takes some time for this.
However, the Jingying's attack was only blocked in the main attack direction of Wushan, and the other directions were progressing smoothly. The Xinkou direction of the northern line had already broken through. At this time, the Jingying was attacking Taiyuan, and it was estimated that it would not be blocked there for long.
But in general, the defense power of the Yuan Dynasty was pretty good.
After all, that was also a gathering of resisters from the entire Ming Dynasty. At least they could not turn against the Red Turban Army or collapse at once. They could fight against the Red Turban Army like the real army.
This also gave the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty some fantasies.
After all, they really don't want to leave.
How could the titles in Guanzhong be willing to live their serf masters?
It is said to be a paradise in the Western Regions.
But are there serfs in the Western Regions that can be exploited?
No!
What's the use of no matter how much land is?
Should they farm themselves?
Similarly, the Mongolian princes and princes did not want to leave. They were nomadic in Hehuang, Longyou, eating the food sent from Guanzhong, enjoying a good life without worrying about food and clothing. Once they went to the Western Regions, they would return to their previous life.
They are not stupid.
But Mei Guozhen and other exiled groups knew very well that everything is just temporary now. They knew more than these people that Yang Feng was powerful. As long as Yang Feng began the Western Expedition, the fall of Guanzhong would be inevitable. All efforts would be in vain in the end. So they just took advantage of the fact that they could temporarily withstand it, retreat to the Western Regions as quickly as possible, and strive to take away as much as possible.
Wealth, food, population, especially craftsmen, books...
Take them all away.
Finally, we went to the Western Regions to start over.
It can be said that the earlier you leave, the better, and the faster you leave, the better.
so……
Let the Red Turban Army educate these Mongolian princes and princes!
The attack on Jingtai took the initiative to provoke the war, and then fooled the Mongolian cavalry to attack, let them know the terribleness of the Red Turban Army and know that they were just a dish in front of others, so that they could dispel their fantasies and let them understand that the escape was for them. As for those who refused to leave in Guanzhong, this was very good. They could stay and continue to resist, and then buy time for these escaped people. They were willing to be loyal ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Great Yuan Dynasty would give them the treatment of loyal ministers.
Their sacrifices will be recorded in history books.
Use the best vocabulary.
"Go away, there is no need to watch again!"
Mei Guozhen said.
After saying that, he turned around and walked down the city wall.
Tian Le looked at everything around him with complicated eyes behind him, and finally sighed and turned around to follow him.
On the battlefield in the distance, the Mongolian cavalry had already begun to be defeated.
On a sand dune behind the Red Turban Army.
Yang Xiangguo was also watching the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry in front.
"Master, are you chasing?"
Liu Ping, the commander of the Eighth Army, asked.
"Need not!"
Yang Feng said calmly.
Of course, you can't chase it, it will be bad if you attack Liangzhou.
He could also guess the real purpose of this attack.
Fleeing west was the original plan of the exile group, but the gentry of the old Datong country in Guanzhong and the recruited Weila tribes were different. These people were just fantasizing that they could protect the northwest.
So it is necessary to trick them into it.
This is a good thing.
This means that the plan to escape west will really begin soon.
Actually it has started before.
Mei Guozhen and other exile groups used Longyou as their main settlement area. In the past few years, there were many gentry fleeing west, especially when they started to harm various places and then fled west. There were more than 200,000, and they also needed to settle down. Since they had decided to flee west, the population of Longyou and Hexi Corridors was greatly reduced, especially the Hexi Corridor was almost empty, so it naturally became the best choice. Most of the gentry fleeing west chose to live in the Hexi Corridor.
Just after the garrison retreated, they also left enough houses.
Even arable land.
Now it's nothing more than just continuing to go west.
Let's go!
Let's go!
Going west!
Go to their paradise!
Give them fifty years to recreate the Yuan Dynasty in the West.
The Mongolian cavalry's footsteps were stopped in Eastern Europe, and now the Yuan Dynasty has completed the path that their ancestors have not taken, and continued the nightmare they brought to the Europeans, so that they could explore the front and the Ming Dynasty would be the savior behind.
One escapes and the other chases.
Fifty years.
Basically, everything that should be completed is completed.
"Master, if you don't attack, then the Mongolian and Jurchens who came with the Master should let them go back as soon as possible. One reason is that they stayed in Ningxia, and the local supply was tight for a long time, and the other reason is that these are plundering and it is easy to cause trouble."
Liu Ping said.
Yang Xiangguo didn't come from himself.
He was carrying tens of thousands of cavalry, but in fact it was almost eighty thousand at this time.
To be continued...
