The Most Powerful Man in the World

When they saw the two distinct navies, on the flagship, Yu Dayou and the others didn't show any surprise on their faces, instead they showed a bit of a smile as expected.

After all, they have established a firm foothold in the West. Although there are many barbarians who are hostile to the Ming Dynasty, there are more Westerners who choose to surrender. It is conceivable that in this case, if Yu Dayou and the others are even filthy inside the coalition army If you don't know, then you can only say that you underestimate Jin Yiwei's ability.

You must know that under the leadership of Yue Buqun, Jinyiwei has developed Jinyiwei to the west, and absorbed a considerable number of Xiyi people into Jinyiwei, and at once completely grasped the situation of the alliance army.

Yue Buqun stood aside, stroked his beard, and said with a sneer at the corners of his mouth: "These barbarians are really dying without knowing it, and they don't forget to fight in this situation, tsk tsk, this is What confidence is it that they don't take us to heart."

Jiao Yuan said with a smile: "Master Yue, don't look at them, these are thousands of ships, of which there are almost hundreds of warships, almost several times as many as ours. If it was you, would you? Do you think there will be any accidents with such a strong force?"

Yue Buqun looked at the distinct coalition fleet in the distance with disdain, and sneered: "If there is no bullshit fight for power within the coalition, maybe we should be cautious, but Portugal and the Empire on the Sun never set. It's almost like they didn't get into a fight, it would be weird if they could work together in the next battle."

Yu Dayou on the side just looked at the coalition army opposite with a solemn expression. No matter how Yue Buqun and Jiao Yuan mocked and despised the coalition army, as the coach, Yu Dayou had to remain calm enough.

When the Daming Fleet gradually stopped, the coalition forces on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and then they set sail and took the initiative to come towards the Daming Fleet.

You must know that the person in charge of the coalition army is very worried that the Ming side will not accept their invitation to fight, so he is extremely provocative in his words in the gauntlet.

Obviously, the coalition forces were worried for nothing. Yu Dayou and others didn't even have the courage to fight in the first battle. When the coalition forces were calculating the Daming fleet, Yu Dayou and others were taking the opportunity to calculate the Western coalition forces.

As for the final outcome, it depends on who is better on both sides.

Just as the largest naval battle in human history is about to break out in the Atlantic Ocean, in the vast northern land of Ming Dynasty.

Crossing the northern grasslands, an elite army of tens of thousands was ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to the grasslands a few years ago.

In the early years, the Tatars and Otaras almost became Daming's confidants, and even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty fell into his hands after the change of the Tumu Fort. It can be seen that on the grasslands, the powers of the Otaras and Tatars have grown to what extent.

However, in the first battle of Tatar, which was almost at its peak, Chu Yi broke his spine and cut off his claws reaching out to the Central Plains.

Over the years, Daming has gradually disintegrated the alliances between the tribes on the grasslands by means of economic plundering. Now, the tribes on the grasslands are busy raising sheep and cattle, busy for the businessmen of the Central Plains Provide wool, beef and mutton, how can you risk your life to invade the Central Plains?

If the tens of thousands of troops were placed in the heyday of the Tatar and Oara, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty could not even penetrate into the grasslands, but now they are directly pushing across the grasslands, and the troops go straight into the heart of Europe thousands of miles away. .

However, the Ming army, which was pushed all the way, destroyed large and small tribes and the principality of no less than dozens, crossed the Ural Mountains and collided with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was in the process of rapid external expansion.

From a small principality to a step-by-step expansion, and even to become the most extensive country in the world, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is definitely in the most expansive period.

It is conceivable that not only the commander-in-chief of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but also the general Lu Dazhu, who led the expedition, was also surprised when the two armies came to a great battle.

Chapter 650 Wang Yangming's Courage

This encounter that broke out on the banks of the Ural River directly raised the vigilance of the generals on both sides and put away their contempt.

No matter how many tribes and small countries were destroyed by Lu Dazhu leading the elite army all the way north, the combat power of the opponents they encountered was actually very limited, at least few enemies could make his elite army pay too much of the price.

In the same way, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was at the peak of its external expansion, was absolutely outstanding in combat effectiveness during this period. The huge territory of later generations was almost slowly laid the foundation during this period. It is conceivable that at this time , How is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow going abroad.

When it comes to land combat power, looking at the Western world, there are few that can compete with the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Similarly, in the Eastern world, Daming is absolutely unmatched.

An accidental encounter between the two armies on the banks of the Ural River broke out into a big battle. In this battle, the two sides had no idea of ​​the origin of their opponents at the beginning. Anyway, except for me, they were all enemies. Under this purpose, whenever you encounter an enemy, no matter what the source of the opponent is, just kill them directly.

It is conceivable that in this case, when the two elite armies collided, a tragic battle was staged like this.

The team sent by the Grand Duchy of Moscow is a legion, that is, 2 people. The number of such a team is not too many, or too few.

And the army led by Lu Dazhu had 7000 people when they went out, but apart from the battles, there were almost a thousand soldiers killed and injured along the way, and some soldiers could not adapt to foreign countries. Due to the environment, they had to leave the team, and there are still about [-] people left.

So when it comes to the number of people, in fact, the Ming side has the advantage of the number of people, [-] to [-], which can almost be said to be a crushing advantage.

At the beginning, the two sides were just encounters, and there was no psychological preparation at all, so the vanguard armies of the two sides collided.

In this case, just a fight, both sides feel the opponent's thorny and difficult level, but the more this is the case, the more attention is paid to the convenience, the direct response is to invest more people, preferably a wave of generals The opponent was destroyed.

It was just that the two sides threw the army in, and the final result was a tragic battle. Not only did Lu Dazhu feel distressed at the soaring speed of the battle, but as the commander of the Third Army Corps of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Andrei almost fainted with heartache. past.

The death of any soldier is a great loss to Andre, Lu Dazhu and the others.

Seeing that if he continued to fight, Andre, who was really going to be injured, did not withdraw his troops. Instead, the belligerent nature of his nation broke out, and he led the only soldiers and horses under him to take the lead in killing.

It is worthy of being a nation known as a fighting nation. The fighting power it erupted was stunned to suppress the Ming side for a while, and stabilized the shaky situation.

Lu Dazhu, who was sitting in the back, looking at the overall situation, obviously noticed the change in the enemy's morale. Soon Lu Dazhu found the battlefield. Wherever he went, he was stunned by the high morale of the alien army. Andre came.

Squinting his eyes, Lu Dazhu slapped the horse directly, heading straight for Andre.

Andre holds a broad sword in his hand, and the broad sword dances very smoothly in his hand.

Just as Andre shot a Ming army commander flying, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He looked up subconsciously, and saw a general on the opposite side in armor rushing towards him.

As a rare general in the Ming army, Lu Dazhu is naturally very amazing in force. At this moment, he came on horseback, and with a single blow, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.

The long spear shot across the sky and hit Andre directly. If such a shot stabbed in the body, I was afraid that he would be disabled if he didn't die on the spot.

What a good Andre, facing the imposing Lu Dazhu, he didn't dodge and jumped up suddenly, taking advantage of the horse's body, he jumped up from the air and slashed towards Lu Dazhu.

It has to be said that Andre's attack is exquisite. Not only did he avoid Lu Dazhu's attack, but he turned passive into active and seized the initiative at once.

However, Andre is not ordinary, and Lu Dazhu is not a weak person. Seeing that Andre avoided a blow from himself and instead counterattacked at himself, a look of disdain flashed in Lu Dazhu's eyes.

I saw Lu Dazhu slammed his fist into the broad sword that Andre had chopped down.

With a buzzing sound, Lu Dazhu's palm smashed onto the broadsword's body, suppressing Andre's blow.

Just a fight, Lu Dazhu grasped Andre's strength. In fact, Andre's strength is a bit worse than Lu Dazhu's, but the two sides are not the same system, and it is impossible to make an effective comparison of force.

A look of horror flashed in Andre's eyes, and it was obvious that he felt the strength of Lu Dazhu's strength just now.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, it's rare to meet an opponent, but Lu has to learn it."

Lu Dazhu, who was laughing, was shocked, but instead looked at Andre with a dignified face.

Lu Dazhu stared at Andre, and the commanders of the two armies were fighting together. This situation is quite rare. After all, as the commander of an army, if it is not necessary, as the leader of an army It is more about controlling the overall situation, rather than being brave and taking risks in the chaos of the army.

Without the control of the two commanders, the soldiers on both sides who were already fighting together even immersed themselves in the fight. The two armies are both elite and have extraordinary perseverance. Under normal circumstances, if the average army can withstand a [-]% or [-]% battle loss, there will be There is a great possibility of a rout.

However, these two teams cannot be compared with ordinary teams. They can be regarded as the strongest and most elite teams in the world, but they are currently fighting, and they have not suffered any damage due to the battle. influences.

With a muffled hum, I saw Andre flying backwards. The moment he landed, he stepped back a few steps, leaving a few deep footprints on the ground, knocking a few soldiers away.

Compared to Andre's complete removal of the power that had penetrated into his body, the soldiers who were knocked out by Andre were truly wronged.

With a look of redness on his face, Andre forcibly swallowed the blood that had poured into his throat, swaying slightly, staring at Lu Dazhu, who was standing in front of him with a spear.

Compared with the embarrassed Andre, Lu Dazhu's situation is obviously a bit better. After all, Lu Dazhu's strength is much stronger than Andre's. If Andre was not desperate, maybe Andre would have been found by Lu Dazhu at this moment. Killed with one shot.

"withdraw!"

Andre is worthy of being the leader of a legion, and his ability to control the battle situation is still quite strong.

The low and thick horn sounded, and the soldiers on both sides who were immersed in the fight were stunned, but the soldiers on the Grand Duchy of Moscow could naturally hear that the horn sound was actually ordering them to withdraw.

How long has it been for them to hear the horn of withdrawal, at least during the process of their external expansion, the horn of withdrawal has hardly ever sounded, but they never thought that it would sound at this time.

For a while, many soldiers showed doubts, subconsciously thinking that they had heard it wrong, but after careful identification, it was indeed the trumpet sound of retreat.

Suddenly, the army was in chaos, but it was rare that it did not collapse. It retreated while resisting. After leaving a mess of corpses, the strong man finally broke his wrist and abandoned some of his soldiers, successfully getting rid of the entanglement with the Ming army.

Lu Dazhu was not in a hurry to chase after Andre and the others. It was not that Lu Dazhu did not want to chase, but that this battle was quite shocking to the soldiers of Daming. In addition, there were so many casualties in the battle that even Lu Dazhu did not dare to catch up easily.

It was just a short battle of about an hour, and the number of casualties reached as many as 2000. You must know that along the way, there have been dozens of battles, large and small, but only thousands of casualties, but this In the battle, almost 2000 people fell.

Several generals looked at the casualty figures that took almost an hour to count, and looked at Lu Dazhu solemnly and said: "Commander, what is the origin of these people, they are so fierce, even more fierce than the Tartars. It can be said to be the most difficult army we have encountered along the way."

Lu Dazhu glanced at the surrounding generals, and snorted coldly: "Let you send out sentries to inquire about the news, you are good, each and everyone is yang and yin, how is it, this time you have encountered an opponent, who is even in the hands of someone? I don't even know if I'm at a loss."

These generals under his command are very clear about Lu Dazhu's temperament. Just listening to Lu Dazhu's words, everyone knows that Lu Dazhu is not angry.

A general looked at Lu Dazhu with a somewhat embarrassed smile and said: "Commander, if you say that, you must know what these enemies are!"

In fact, when he first fought, Lu Dazhu was really a little confused, because he didn't know what the origins of these people were.

However, as the leader of the army, Lu Dazhu has obviously much more information than those generals. After all, the information from the sentinels is first collected by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and then the important ones are selected. The news was presented to Lu Dazhu for a look.

Lu Dazhu learned about the news of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in this way, but when he was just fighting, Lu Dazhu's attention was all on the fight, but he didn't think about the origin of his opponent.

But after calming down for a while, Lu Dazhu pondered a little and understood the origin of the enemy he encountered not long ago.

When Lu Dazhu and the others were discussing Andre and his party, and when they rushed all the way to the Ming army and opened a distance of more than ten kilometers, Andre spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow, and the whole person fell from the horse.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, Andre suddenly fell off his horse, which naturally surprised the army.Several generals immediately stabilized the army and helped Andre up.

The pale-faced Andre slowly woke up and turned around, looking at the several generals around him with a bit of solemnity in his eyes, and finally landed on Anthony, who was covered in blood.

"Anthony!"

Anthony quickly said to Andre: "General, how are you, that person actually hurt you so badly!"

Andrei took a long breath, refreshed himself, stared at Anthony and said, "Anthony, I order you to go to Moscow as soon as possible, and tell Your Majesty that we encountered the Ming army in the Ural Mountains. I hope Your Majesty can Send a large army to come, or the Ming army will drive straight in and come under the city of Moscow!"

Anthony and a few generals nearby changed their expressions one by one, and heard Anthony exclaimed: "What, these people are actually Ming people, they... they are not with Portugal. Do people, the Dutch go to war?"

At any rate, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is now expanding everywhere. It can be described as a major power in the West. It is impossible for Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries to be ignorant of the news of the war against the Ming Dynasty.

But because of their identity, only a very small number of people in the upper classes of the Grand Duchy of Moscow really knew.

Andre, as the lord of the legion, is of course qualified to know this, and even he has seen the flag pattern of the Great Tomorrow Flag in the news.

If it wasn't for this, Andre would not have been able to recognize the identity of the army they fought against.

It was because of the awareness of Lu Dazhu and the others that Andre was so solemn, because behind Daming stood an extremely powerful country. If the Grand Duchy of Moscow did not show the strongest attitude, I am afraid it is Can't stop Daming's soldiers.

Andre endured the injury and chose a mountain pass to set up camp, but he wanted to stay behind to stop Lu Dazhu and his party, and buy time for Moscow to send reinforcements.

Lu Dazhu's speed of action is not slow, but in one day, tens of thousands of troops once again appeared in the sight of Andre and others.

This time, Lu Dazhu was obviously well prepared, not only did he send people to arrest the local people in a radius of dozens of miles, but also obtained a thorough understanding of Andre and the Grand Duchy of Moscow from these people.

The more he understood, the more Lu Dazhu became interested in such a country that expanded gradually from a small kingdom and occupied a vast territory.

Relying on the intuition of the soldiers, Lu Dazhu realized that such a country with strong combat power and an army not weaker than Daming's would be a big problem for Daming in a few years if it was left alone.

Just when Lu Dazhu ordered to storm the defensive positions of the Third Army, a group of messengers were rushing towards the capital.

The summer of the 19th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty

In the Forbidden City, in the imperial study room, Zhu Houzhao sat upright, and several cabinet elders looked at an urgent report that was hurriedly presented with a solemn expression.

The ruddy-looking Zhu Houzhao looked at several cabinet elders, and turned his mouth slightly towards Yang Yiqing: "Yang Aiqing, what do you think of the military report sent by Lu Aiqing?"

Stroking his beard, Yang Yiqing first glanced at Wang Yangming and several other patriarchs, and saw Yang Yiqing take a step forward and bow to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you think you can avoid this battle, you should avoid it. A hundred thousand troops are in a foreign country ten thousand miles away, victory is useless, and once defeated, it will certainly damage the majesty of Your Majesty the Holy King..."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Wang Yangming and said, "Wang Aiqing, do you have any insights?"

For a moment, the elders all looked at Wang Yangming, but Wang Yangming was not affected by the gazes of the elders. Instead, he turned to Zhu Houzhao with a solemn expression and said, "Your Majesty, I believe in General Lu's judgment. This battle must go on, if one hundred thousand troops is not enough, then we will dispatch 20, otherwise we will raise tigers and cause trouble, and there will be endless disasters in the future..."

Yang Yiqing couldn't help frowning and said, "Master Wang, that's a hundred thousand troops. The most important thing is that they are separated by thousands of miles. Have you considered how much it would cost to send a hundred thousand troops to ten thousand miles away?"
