Chapter 682: The Enemy of My Enemy
Zhu Gaoxu galloped to the edge of a lava platform and looked into the distance. A gray city appeared near the river bend.
Kaipingwei! This city was originally the Shangdu (Xilinguole League) of the Yuan Dynasty. It was once a big city, but now it has declined beyond recognition. The city now sits alone on the earth.
From Xinghe Qianhu Suo (Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou) to Kaipingwei, the distance is more than 800 miles from north to south and even wider from east to west, with only two post stations along the way. The court's control over this area can only be regarded as better than nothing.
The Ming army took about 20 days to travel the 800-li route. They encountered no enemy forces along the way, and even saw few people. Suddenly, the soldiers saw the city and shouted excitedly from far and near.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse around, took a detour back to the post road, and then followed the army and continued marching towards Kaiping Weicheng.

From late August to early September, the Ming army of 250,000 infantry and cavalry and tens of thousands of able-bodied men were divided into eight armies, maintaining a formation that could reinforce each other and marching all the time. The army had already entered the area where the Tatars often moved.There were no more cities or villages along the way, let alone government post stations. It was a desolate place. The combined population of all the people within a radius of hundreds of miles should not be as large as the number of the Ming army.It rarely rains on the grasslands at this time of year, so with so many people on the march, they must take roads with sufficient water sources. In addition to rivers, Zhu Gaoxu would occasionally see lakes, all of which were named Naoer, because it was a name first given by the Mongols and translated from the phonetic notation.Around the "Nar" in front, thick smoke and flickering flames were billowing. Zhu Gaoxu
Game of the Throne Chapter 684 Eagle’s Message
"Phew!" A high-pitched eagle call sounded in the air. The very strong Ping An raised his head, his eyes chasing the hovering sea turtle in the sky.The grassland was too monotonous. Suddenly there was something strange. The attention of many soldiers around was attracted, and many people looked up at the sky. But it was of no use. No one in the Ming army could understand the language of the eagle.After a while, the falconer came over on horseback and said, "Commander, there seems to be enemy troops in the northwest!""Distance, number of people." Ping An said immediately.The surrounding soldiers started to make a noise, and they all looked very happy. Damn it, he has walked so far without seeing the shadow of the enemy, and now he can finally fight! Everyone is looking forward to it and are ready to have a big fight!At this time, the falconer looked embarrassed and confused, obviously he didn't know. Ping An also noticed that the falconer just

The baggage train of the Ming army's vanguard was two miles to the south and had not received any orders to form a battle array in advance.The human-powered Wugang carts were still arranged in a long snake-like formation, with some mule carts and wheelbarrows among them; until just now, no one had made any move because the order from the superiors was to maintain the formation.The baggage soldiers had to temporarily adjust their direction on the spot, pointing the end with the sharp blade and the baffle to the northwest, and keeping alert on the spot.In the distance, there was smoke billowing, the sound of horses’ hooves roaring, and shouts deafening.Most of the baggage soldiers were dressed in gray uniforms, without any armor on their bodies. Their only protection was the iron helmets on their heads. Some soldiers drew their swords and stared at the direction of the roar of horse hooves; some soldiers held their muskets and watched, and some were

The grassland was gray, the noise was deafening, and there were people shouting loudly all around. At this time, Ping An vaguely saw a Tatar who was better dressed than others. He wore an iron helmet without a brim and a white fur collar.The figure flashed by and was soon obscured by the chaotic cavalry and rising dust.Ping An instinctively knew that this must be a Tatar of status! Without hesitation, he raised the bloody iron axe and shouted, "Kill!" He led the elite cavalry and rushed over there.A group of elite Ming cavalrymen rushed forward! An unlucky Tatar didn't escape and ran into Ping An. Ping An raised his axe and knocked him and his horse to the ground. After a while, he saw the Tatar in bright armor again. He saw that guy was running on his horse, turning his head and waving his scimitar and shouting."Gee!" Ping An kicked the horse's belly twice and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.The Tatar also discovered Ping An's cavalr

Outside the tent, the night has quietly begun.Zhu Gaoxu soon tended to adopt Qu Neng's strategy; he was unwilling to give up his fighter plane! As long as he observed the emotions of the generals around him and their eagerness to fight, Zhu Gaoxu could not ignore them. What's more, he believes that the chance is not small.But this battle is still quite risky. Even if he becomes the emperor, it is difficult for him to be sure of the things he faces."Ahem..." Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a long time and suddenly cleared his throat. In an instant, the eyes of almost all the generals were focused on his face, full of expectation.Zhu Gaoxu held back for a moment and said, "Before the morning of tomorrow, all generals, please come to this tent and wait for military orders."The generals could only clasp their fists and say, "We obey your order."Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "You all should return to the camp. Get up early tomorrow and let
Game of the Throne Chapter 688: Desolation
Groups of horses were trotting, and the muscles of the Ming army's horses were full of strength under their smooth fur. The pale sunlight sprinkled on the earth, but the surroundings were desolate.After a small nearby lake froze, there was no movement at all and it looked dead silent; apart from the army, there seemed to be no living things in this place!There are obvious cracks on the ice, like a wound cut by a giant axe. It is said that this is because the water here has just frozen and the ice surface is thin; coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night, obvious cracks will appear on the ice surface at noon.Yin Desheng, who was in the cavalry, looked up and saw a Gyrfalcon circling in the sky. His face was cold, but his body was a little hot.Since this expedition, he has been living in the army, eating and sleeping in the open, but he feels that life has become familiar again. It is a very strange feeling. After entering

The sun had not yet appeared, and the endless land was covered with a thin layer of smoke like a veil. The "rumble..." sound in the cold wind was like continuous muffled thunder in the sky.The soldiers in the Ming army square array all stood up and looked into the distance in shock. On the northern horizon, a dark and turbulent shadow was surging.Many soldiers in the queue were talking in low voices. At this time, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds behind them. When everyone turned around, they saw General Yin Desheng riding a horse towards them.Behind Yin Desheng, a big man was holding a red military flag with the word "Ming" written on it. The flag was fluttering in the cold wind.After a while, Yin Desheng's voice shouted , "Right Thousand Corps, Left and Right Two Hengs, retreat twenty steps to the rear. Shrink the defense line!"A general not far away responded, "I have received your order!"At the shouts of the generals

In early October, the season finally entered winter, but Zhu Gaoxu and others felt that it had already been a severe winter here.After the central army set up camp in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu received two reports from Qu Neng, the vanguard army. Judging from the signatures, they were sent out on the same day, but Zhu Gaoxu received them at the same time.The first one roughly stated that Qu Neng’s troops were attacked by a large group of Tatar cavalry on the north side of the Luzhou River. The enemy dispatched at least 6,000 to 7,000 cavalry! Qu Neng had already formed a defensive formation on the spot. The second one stated that after the Tatar cavalry attacked, the two sides were facing each other across a mile.Upon hearing the news, the generals in the central army were sure that the enemy had taken the bait! Everyone was excited and impatient. They were ready to march to the Lushan River and fight a big battle to vent their frustration after two months o
