During the entire Northern Expedition, the number of enemies killed was less than a thousand.
The purpose of publicizing the great victory to the outside world is actually to make the imperial court look better.
After all, it is a bit unreasonable to consume so much and spend so much troops to kill only a thousand enemies.
And today's battle completely made Zhu Di happy.
Today's battle can be said to be Zhu Di's biggest victory since Jing Nan.
Even since Zhu Di fought against the north, he has not achieved such a big victory.
With today's results, coupled with the number of Zhu Zhangui's kills, it can be said that Wala's side is hurting.
Thinking of Mahamu's painful expression when he went back and saw the number of casualties, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Smiling, he looked at today's biggest hero.
"JAC!"
Zhu Di shouted loudly.
Jiang Huai, who was whispering with the generals of Shenji Battalion below, walked out with big strides.
"The end is here!"
The people in the tent also stopped talking and looked at Jiang Huai who came out.
Everyone understands that this kid is going to take off.
After returning home, it is still small to get promoted and make a fortune, and it is even possible to obtain a title and become one of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di looked at Jiang Huai who stood up, and said with a serious expression:
"Jianghuai, in today's battle, you commanded the Shenji Battalion well, and your contribution to killing and injuring the enemy in large numbers is indispensable. You should take the lead in this battle!"
Jiang Huai quickly knelt down on one knee.
"This battle is due to His Majesty's wise command and the devotion of the officers and men under his command. The last general just did his duty as a subject. In the name of the first merit, I am ashamed to dare to accept it!"
"Hahaha…"
Jiang Huai's flattery made Zhu Di even happier.
This kind of general who is not greedy for merit is liked by any monarch.
Zhu Di got up and stepped forward to pull Jiang Huai up.
"I said that what is yours is yours. I will write down your credit first. When the teacher returns to the court, I will definitely reward you."
After praising Jianghuai, Zhu Di praised the other generals, and said to the generals: "Although we have hurt Wala in this battle, it is not enough."
"Mahamu still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. Now they have retreated to the mouth of the Three Gorges, and we still have a fierce battle to fight."
"So the ministries can't relax. When we defeat Mahamu in the future, there will be plenty of time to celebrate."
"As ordered!"
The generals shouted loudly and began to discuss the next battle plan.
On Zhu Di's side, when discussing how to attack the mouth of the Three Gorges, Zhu Zhangui, who had traveled thousands of miles, finally reached the outskirts of Kent Khan Mountain.
Under a high slope, more than 8000 soldiers are drinking water, eating and feeding their horses, or resting with their eyes closed.
After more than half a month of rushing, every soldier's face was full of exhaustion.
In the past half a month, they have traveled thousands of miles, eating and sleeping all the way, and when their spirits were reaching their limit, they finally arrived at the predetermined place.
This evening is a rare long rest.
Everyone understands that after a break today, they will face a difficult battle.
On the hillside.
Zhu Zhangui is holding a telescope and looking around.
Although it was pitch black as far as the eye could see, Zhu Zhangui still did not give up, trying to find the ray of light in his imagination.
They have reached Kenthan Mountain, but where is the Mahamu tribe?They don't know.
If you can't find the enemy's location as soon as possible and carry out a quick surprise attack, then this long-distance raid will be completely useless.
Even along the way, they have to be careful to hide to prevent being discovered by enemy rangers.
If it is discovered by the enemy in advance, it will not achieve the effect of surprise attack.
All the Wala people are soldiers.
If the enemy finds out in advance, it is no problem to gather tens of thousands of troops with the troops left behind by the Oala side, plus the urgent call.
Once they were entangled by tens of thousands of people, they couldn't quickly control the Mahamu herdsmen's camp. When the reinforcements from Mahamu's side arrived, Zhu Zhangui had no other choice but to retreat.
Of course, there is also a possibility.
That is to be annihilated by the enemy's front and back attack and siege.
"Your Highness, let's eat something!"
Yu Qian walked up to Zhu Zhangui and handed a piece of jerky to Zhu Zhangui.
Zhu Zhangui also brought Yu Qian with him in this raid.
This is a rare opportunity to hone, and it is also an opportunity to increase military merit.
After this tempering, Yu Qian will grow a lot.
Also relying on the military merits of this raid, no one will say anything when he returns to arrange a job for Yu Qian.
After all, this is an opportunity that others have worked hard to earn back. If you are envious, you can come here if you have the ability.
After half a month of tossing, Yu Qian, a young scholar, was almost exhausted.
Even had a high fever a few days ago.
If Zhu Zhangui hadn't rescued this guy with cephalosporin, the future Yu Shaobao might have died of illness in the wilderness.
"Has the sentinel come back yet?"
Putting down the binoculars to pick up the dried meat handed over by Tai Qian, Zhu Zhangui tore off a piece and chewed vigorously.
Yu Qian, who picked up the binoculars to observe, shook his head.
"According to the agreed time, they should have come back. If they haven't come back now, it may be due to some special circumstances."
Zhu Zhangui nodded silently.
The special situation in Yu Qian's mouth refers to the grassland swamp.
None of the sentry cavalry sent out in the past half a month came back.
Later, after searching, their traces were found in a depression.
"The army should have encountered the Oirats."
Biting the hard jerky, Zhu Zhangui lay on the grass, looking at the stars in the sky, not knowing whether to ask Yu Qian or himself.
"Calculating the time, they should be here now, maybe they've already started fighting."
After Yu Qian replied, he stopped making a sound and continued to observe the surrounding situation.
Zhu Zhangui didn't speak any more, swallowed the jerky in his mouth, closed his eyes and rested.
"Da da da…"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes in the distance.
Zhu Zhangui, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, pulled out his knife and shouted: "There is a situation, everyone is on alert!"
Crash.
The soldiers resting below jumped up from the ground in an instant, drawing their swords and raising their guns, ready to fight.
"Sun and Moon!"
From the direction the horseshoe came from, there was a weak low cry suddenly.
The vigilant people breathed a sigh of relief.
This is my own password.
Several soldiers rushed over, helping a soldier covered in blood and running over.
"what's the situation!"
Zhu Zhangui hurriedly stepped forward to ask the returning soldiers.
The supported soldier looked at Zhu Zhangui and replied weakly.
"We found their camp, but when we came back, we encountered a rare large pack of more than a hundred wolves. At that time, we did not ride horses in order to prevent being discovered by the enemy. After being surrounded by wolves, it was the captain who protected them with their lives. Let me rush out and let me pass the news to His Highness."
With that said, the soldier pointed in one direction.
"80 miles over there!"
Zhu Zhangui patted the soldier's shoulder comfortingly, and looked in the direction he was pointing.
They finally found the Wara herdsman camp.
Chapter 146: Zhu Zhangui: Today is the day to leave your name in history ~ kill!
After finding the camp of the Oirats, Zhu Zhangui did not immediately order a raid.
In addition to not knowing the defense situation of the camp, the soldiers also need to take a rest.
After half a month of rushing, the soldiers' physical strength and combat effectiveness dropped by more than half.
In this case, a direct surprise attack is prone to accidents.
Even if people gritted their teeth and could carry it, the horse couldn't stand it.
Although the attacking troops were all one man and two horses, after half a month of traveling, the horse's physical strength had reached its limit.
So Zhu Zhangui thought about it and let the soldiers and horses rest for a day, while he went to check the situation in the Wara camp in person.
Order the troops to retreat 20 miles to prevent being discovered by the Oirat rangers.
Zhu Zhangui took a few good hands, collected the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle with the wolves, and touched the outskirts of the Oara camp.
After a day of observation.
Zhu Zhangui also learned about the general situation of the Wara camp.
There are not many troops.
There are about 2000 people, and they are scattered throughout the camp.
The rest are ordinary herdsmen, mostly old and young, women and children.
The number of people is about 10,000+, gathered at the edge of a river.
After confirming the situation of the Wala camp, Zhu Zhangui led people back to the camp when it was dark.
All the soldiers gathered together that night, no one spoke, just looked at Zhu Zhangui quietly.
In order to prevent the enemy from finding out, everyone did not light the fire, but only illuminated it with night light and stars.
"Bros!"
Zhu Zhangui looked at the soldiers in a circle, raised his voice and began his pre-war speech.
More than 8000 soldiers all puffed out their chests when they heard the call of brother.
"Before setting off, your commander told you that following me is just to clean up the enemies who disturb our logistics."
"But after half a month of marching, I believe you all have seen that we are not sweeping the rear of the enemy."
All the soldiers did not speak, but quietly looked at the black figure standing upright under the moonlight.
"In order to ensure that the whereabouts are not leaked, I have not told you our destination. But I believe that many brothers have guesses in their hearts."
"That's right, I can tell you with certainty that your guess is right."
"Our goal of running thousands of miles is to go straight to the enemy's royal court and create immortal achievements just like Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty."
Zhu Zhangui pointed to the direction of the Wala camp.
"Just yesterday, our scouting brothers discovered the camp of the Oirats."
