Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 624

The next day, the indigenous priests accepted the clothes donated by Tie Xuan and allowed him to enter their residence to teach them the knowledge of Chinese elementary school.Under the superiority of Chinese culture, these indigenous people quickly began to become Chinese. Although they still did not completely abandon the ancient traditions, they had already begun to wear hair crowns and clothes.

And when immigrants go to the Yellow Emperor Temple to worship, the indigenous people often also offer incense along with them.

Everything is progressing steadily and imperceptibly.

At this time, it had been three months since they landed on Fengming Island. The defenses of Jinshan Fort were generally complete, and the surrounding materials and output were enough for the immigrants to maintain their lives. So Zhang He began to prepare for the return trip. The weather was getting colder. Tie Xuan and Zhang He The three of them, Mao Xiang and Mao Xiang, discussed that they wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty before winter and bring a new batch of immigrants.

Because we didn’t know whether the first exploration would be successful, and because there were so few people willing to go out to sea, the last time we went to sea, the fleet had only about [-] people, and most of the ships carried only cans, food, and Materials that may be needed to build Fengmingzhou, etc.

Among these people, only five hundred managed to reach Fengmingzhou due to several encounters.Excluding the more than 270 Ming soldiers, the number of farmers and craftsmen was less than half.

It is absolutely impossible for these people alone to develop the vast Fengming Continent.There are almost endless mountains, forests and cultivated land here, as well as various gold and silver mineral deposits, and rare and exotic animals.Tie Xuan and others can't wait to take over this entire place and open it up into the territory of China.

Moreover, they are also worried about the possible existence of the "Fuso Country" on the other side of the river bend.Although the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were brave, they did not know how many indigenous tribes there were and how many of them they were.If they try to plunder, Jinshan Fort may be in danger.

In any case, it was time to return to the Ming Dynasty and ask for support.

……

Wei Di, desert.

It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky red, reflected in the river, and dyed the river water red.A lone line of wolf smoke hangs in this beautiful sunset scenery. The desert smoke is straight and the sun is setting over the long river.

Zhang Yu did not take time to appreciate the beautiful scenery in Wang Wei's poem. His eyes were fixed on the Mongolian on horseback in front of him.Suddenly he saw the Mongolian turning around to draw his bow and arrow, and he quickly lowered his head and leaned over.There was a "dang" sound, an arrow hit his shoulder armor, and there was a dull pain in his shoulder.

Zhang Yu ignored the dull pain and took out the rifled gun hanging from the back of the saddle. The gun was already loaded with gunpowder and could be fired by pulling the trigger.Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Mongolian's horse was slowing down after he fired an arrow, he quickly aimed at the Mongolian.Just hearing a "bang", the man froze suddenly, and then fell straight off the horse.

"They're out of power... kill them! Leave no one alive!" Zhang Yu shouted.

Seeing that Zhang Yu had killed the Mongolian general in the rear, the morale of the Ming army's knights was greatly boosted. They were one man and three horses, and their horsepower was greater than that of the Mongolian bandits in front of them.Now seeing the severed head dead, the distance between the two sides inevitably got a little closer during the commotion.The Ming soldiers took out the muskets hung behind their horses, and with a few "bang bang" sounds, a large number of Mongol men running at the rear fell off their horses.

There was also a Mongolian man who was lucky enough to survive and was lying on the ground wailing. The Ming army seemed to have disappeared and trampled over them with iron hooves.

The winner of this chase battle has been decided. The Mongolian cavalry who have completely lost their fighting spirit have even forgotten the Mangu evil tactics that should be deeply rooted in their blood. Even though they still have a thousand people, everyone is full of enthusiasm. With a panic-stricken expression, he hit his horse and galloped away, completely forgetting to turn around and shoot arrows while running.

On the contrary, the Ming army's firecrackers were loaded very quickly, firing one after another on their horses, harvesting the lives of these grassland warriors while approaching coldly.

One hundred steps, fifty steps... Zhang Yu has hung the gun back on the saddle, pulled out the sword from his waist, and is ready to rush into the array of broken soldiers and drink blood. "Woo!" A sharp horn suddenly sounded, and the earth seemed to tremble. Many flags suddenly appeared on a mountain, sweeping over the sky and the earth.Zhang Yu was horrified. That horn was obviously the Mongolian horn horn. The army using this war horn was undoubtedly the Mongolian army.He hesitated for a moment, before he could make a decision whether to pursue or retreat, but he saw the huge word "Wei" on the flag.

Those Mongols thought they were reinforcements, but when they saw the flag, they became despairing.

"Kill, leave no one alive!" The command in Chinese was particularly abrupt among the shouts of killing in Mongolian.

Meng Qi, who was using the banner of "Wei", crashed into the fleeing Meng Qi, without any concern that the people in front of him were of the same race.The machete slit the enemy's throat, taking away the fragile lives.

The flag written in Mongolian flickered to the left and to the right, but failed to find a breakthrough point.These Mongolian cavalry, which came like an overwhelming mountain, were obviously well prepared. Together with the Ming cavalry chasing behind them, they were completely surrounded.

Zhang Yu quickly regained his composure, clamped the horse's belly, and raised his sword again:

"Keep charging! It's a friendly force!"

"Kill them all!"

The setting sun is like blood, and the desert is also like blood.

……

After the battle, the two armies drank and rested their horses together by the river.

"The last general has met the crown prince." By the river, Zhang Yu, led by a Mongolian Ming army, saw Xu Yungong who was washing next to the river.Young Master Xu, who had always been dressed in Confucian shirts and had an elegant demeanor, was now wearing a military uniform. The blood on the Yuanyang jersey showed that the young prince's jersey was not just a showpiece.But the indifferent expression on his face still showed the elegance of this young man. Zhang Yu had only seen this kind of demeanor in the fifth prince Zhu Su, but now he has not seen it for a long time.

"Oh, it turns out to be General Zhang." Xu Yungong and Zhang Yu had obviously met before. When he saw him arriving, he smiled and nodded. "General Zhang is truly unparalleled in bravery. With only 300 men, he dared to chase nearly a thousand Mongols in this desert."

"The Mongols often boast that they are invincible in this desert. Now, if they meet General Zhang, they will obviously be able to do nothing but run away with their heads in their hands."

"The last general is just a reckless man. He just relied on the strength of firearms and the strategic planning of my Highness. I really don't dare to take credit." Zhang Yu clasped his fists and bowed humbly. Seeing him like this, Xu Yungong nodded appreciatively, took off his helmet and straightened it out. He looked at the messy hair and asked: "By the way, where is your prince?"

"His Royal Highness is gathering the refugees in the rear and holding the battle for the last general. I think it's almost time... Ah, Your Highness is here." Zhang Yu raised his hand to signal Xu Yungong.

Xu Yungong turned around and saw Zhu Di riding his horse under the protection of several knights in the afterglow of the setting sun.Wearing a black and gold prince's dragon battle robe, it is gorgeous and eye-catching.When he arrived in front of Xu Yungong, before the horse could stop, Zhu Di jumped off the horse.

"Haha, Yungong, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are actually starting to lead troops!" Young Zhu Di laughed heartily, opened his hands, and embraced his old friend in Yingtian Mansion.
