Chapter 685: Hard to Hide the Murderous Intent
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

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

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..."

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 690: Confusing
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 formation of Liu Sheng's army was similar to a triangle, with the widest part facing east and the two wings shrinking towards the middle. Most of the cavalry of Liu Sheng's army were behind the numerous infantry phalanxes, and the two cavalry reinforcements that arrived this morning were located on the two wings of the formation.He did not set up a defensive formation, nor an offensive formation. Unless the Tatars went around the rear wing, the shape of Liu Sheng’s army would be like an arrow cluster formation.The enemy's main cavalry was already more than a hundred steps away, but the Tatars rode slowly, showing no signs of charging. Since the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the armies of the various forces in China seemed to have rarely had heavy cavalry equipped with armor to charge into battle.Liu Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the large group of Tatar troops not far away, but he could not see clearly; because he was facing the east, faci
Game of the Throne Chapter 692: Discussion on Retreating
On the deserted plains on the north bank of the Luzhou River, the Qu Neng tribe was continuously harassed by a large group of Tatar cavalry. This was already the third day.The land under the dark clouds was covered with smoke and dust, and it looked chaotic. Cavalry were rushing in all directions, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves was unusually loud.A trench wall had been built in the middle of the battle array, with tents and horses inside. But the main force of the Ming army's infantry was still deployed around the fortifications, arrayed outside.The Ming army stayed where they were and did not attempt to move their formation; the enemy attacked and shot at them many times but could not find an opportunity.The battlefield had been deadlocked for a long time, but suddenly, the enemy seemed to lose patience! Outside the battle formation, several groups of Tatar cavalry began to charge.Dust filled the air as the Tatar soldiers swept in.

In the middle camp of the army, screams could be heard from time to time, which was very scary. The Ming army was torturing the prisoners.Zhu Gaoxu had not gone to bed yet. He was pacing back and forth in front of a pot of charcoal fire.There was a map on the ground, but he did not look at it. He walked around for a while and then squatted in front of the brazier . The light of the charcoal fire reflected on his face, and he looked dazed.In addition to Zhu Gaoxu, there was another person in the tent, Duan Xuehen. She sat quietly beside him, sometimes closing her eyes, occasionally looking up to observe Zhu Gaoxu... He seemed a little restless at this time.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and said, "It's very late, you should go to bed first."Duan Xuehen raised his head and said softly, "I used to not sleep at night, and I was mostly alone.
