From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 640

The ground shook, the roars continued, the horses' hooves rang, and the trumpets rang.

Xue Changyue arrived with 70,000 Xuanfu troops.

Among the 70,000 Xuanfu troops, there were 30,000 cavalrymen, densely packed on the grassland.

This made Sabdan and others' eyes pop out. Where did the Xuanfu army get 30,000 light cavalrymen!

And that's all?

In the northeast, where the cold wind was raging, countless warriors rode their horses and galloped, majestic and murderous.

The leading female general was wearing silver armor, holding a scimitar, with eyes like stars, and shouted: "My man! Xingyao is here to save you!"

The Yehe tribe came out in full force, with 20,000 cavalrymen, all killing.

The beacon smoke was raised!

The sun was raging!

On a maroon horse, a young general with red eyes galloped with hundreds of cavalrymen, and finally came close.

He had lost a lot of weight, and his face had contours. The war and blood had wiped out his childishness, and gave him vicissitudes and perseverance.

Song Wu's eyes were red, and he dismounted and half-knelt on the ground, shouting at the top of his lungs: "General Song Wu! I pay my respects to the marshal!"

"We pay our respects to the marshal!"

After more than two months of fleeing, hundreds of soldiers who had escaped death knelt in front of their marshal.

Zhou Yuan looked at this young figure and couldn't help but think of the damaged armor in the military warehouse of the Zhenguogong Mansion.

He strode over, helped Song Wu up, and smiled slowly: "Boy, after the trials of blood and fire, you can finally stand on your own."

Song Wu was not excited about this, but just wiped away his tears and gritted his teeth and said: "It's a pity that our brothers, tens of thousands of heroes, died in the battle of Xidu."

"Then avenge them!"

Zhou Yuan said sternly: "Use the blood of the grassland to comfort their souls in heaven!"

He turned around suddenly, looked forward, and shouted: "Sabdan! Bartu! 160,000 infantry! 50,000 cavalry! Can I kill 80,000 of your cavalry!"

Sabdan's face had changed a long time ago.

He could not help but yelled in shock: "Zhou Yuan! You are courting death! What will happen to Shanhaiguan if the Xuanfu troops leave? Huang Taiji will definitely take the opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan!"

"You have won here, but the capital of the Jin Dynasty is gone!"

Bartu was much calmer. He looked at Zhou Yuan deeply and said coldly: "When did the Xuanfu army set out?"

Zhou Yuan said: "When I learned that you sent out 40,000 cavalry, I wrote a letter to let the Xuanfu army set out."

Bartu narrowed his eyes and said: "You have guessed that I would betray the Jin Dynasty from the beginning to the end?"

"No!"

Zhou Yuan said: "I am not a god. I can't predict the future. Otherwise, why would I send people all the way to find you."

"It's just that you gave me too many loopholes. I asked you to send 30,000 troops, but you were willing to send 10,000 more. Even for the so-called unification of the grassland, "You can't leave yourself no way out if you don't have ambitions. "

"In addition, you sent 40,000 troops without asking Dajin for food and grass, nor did you discuss other conditions. As a Khan with great talent and strategy, this is too stupid."

"You can't wait to lure me into the trap, and you ignored some details, so the Xuanfu army moved."

Baltu gritted his teeth and said, "In order to turn the tables and annihilate our 80,000 cavalry, you...even gave up Shenjing!"

Zhou Yuan said coldly: "If Mongolia is not destroyed! Dajin will be gone! What's the point of keeping Shenjing? I, Zhou Yuan, will kill you barbarians first even if I have to sell everything I have!"

Baltu said: "What about the Yehe tribe! Why should they listen to you!"

"Because he is my man!"

Xingyao came on horseback with a smile on her face.

She raised her chin and said proudly: "He braved the snow and cold weather to deliver the most needed supplies to the Yehe tribe in the most dangerous time."

"Dajin and the Yehe tribe have a common enemy and naturally have common interests. We trust each other because my man has proved his sincerity with practical actions!"

Baltu's face was full of sweat, and he murmured: "You knew Daishan was going to attack Korchin, so you ran away in advance. It's really wonderful."

"How did the 70,000 infantrymen in Xuanfu get together 30,000 cavalry?"

Xingyao She said proudly: "Of course it's me! We have few people in the Yehe tribe, with only 20,000 warriors in the whole tribe, but we have horses, and our horses are all over the grassland."

"As early as the beginning of the year when Nurhaci was defeated, we began to send horses to Xuanfu and help them train cavalry."

"After more than half a year of hard work, we finally built these 30,000 cavalry."

"Although our Yehe tribe is weak, it is definitely a force that cannot be ignored!"

At the end, she looked at Zhou Yuan and raised her eyebrows, as if to show that she was very capable.

Zhou Yuan also smiled lightly. At this moment, they didn't care about the conversation.Old and warm, they have more important things to do.

"Eighty thousand cavalry, it's not so easy to kill!"

Sabdan suddenly shouted: "And among our 80,000 cavalry, there are 10,000 heavy cavalry!"

"Zhou Yuan, although you have 50,000 cavalry and 160,000 infantry, but... but if you want to fight to the death, how many people can you leave?"

"Even if your 50,000 cavalry can stop our 50,000 people, but if you want to destroy our remaining 30,000 cavalry, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people will die!"

"This means that you, Zhou Yuan, can only leave 70,000 to 80,000 people alive at most!"

"The family assets of Dajin are all gone!" Here, are you sure you want to fight to the death with us? "

He looked at Xingyao again and said loudly: "Do the warriors of Yehe tribe really have to sacrifice all of them here to make wedding clothes for Dajin!"

"Our battle will not get any good results except tragic, on the contrary, it will benefit Huang Taiji!"

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "You might as well say it directly!"

Sabdan gritted his teeth and said: "Let's negotiate! There is no need to fight! We Mongolia can promise you to sign a non-aggression treaty. "

Zhou Yuan laughed.

He said softly: "I have been deployed for so long, planned so much, walked so many miles, and risked such a huge risk. Am I here to negotiate?"

"Has the blood in the northwest been shed in vain? Will the revenge of thirteen years ago not be avenged? There is no price to pay for betraying the Great Jin?"

"Let me tell you frankly, Sabdan, Bartu, I, Zhou Yuan, came here to kill all the Mongolian soldiers!"

"It is to seal the wolf's lair! Drink the horses in the vast sea!"

"This is my promise to the Great Jin, and also my promise to the soldiers under my command!"

Batur sneered: "Do you dare to do this! The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits. Are you willing to pay the price of more than 100,000 people to destroy us all?"

"If that's the case, Huang Taiji's time to compete for hegemony The plan of the generation was a complete success. "

Zhou Yuan said calmly: "Don't provoke me. Does Huang Taiji understand the times? I don't think he understands it."

"This era is not an era of heroes competing for supremacy, but an era of weapons replacement!"

Bartu said: "You don't have to bluff. You want to talk about the Portuguese cannon? Ha! The emperor of the Eastern Tartars was bombed to death. How can they not investigate?"

"Huang Taiji has already found out. You made a total of six cannons in three months! Now it's only been a few months? Calculating the time, from the first month to the ninth month, a total of nine months, at most 18 cannons can be made. "

"Sixteen of them are in the northwest, and there is no time to transport them here. Your Xuanfu Army can only carry two cannons at most."

Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Then he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha! I understand! Maybe Huang Taiji understands the times! But his understanding of industry is really simple!"

"Why does it take three months to build six cannons? Because you need to mine iron ore, because you need to complete basic industrial construction before you can put it into production."

"But that was the initial efficiency. When the six cannons were built, the subsequent cannons only needed to be produced. Do you still need to temporarily mine iron ore? Do you still need to repeat the construction of basic industries?"

"Let me tell you! In the next nine months, we didn't build eighteen cannons, but forty-eight!"

"The Xuanfu Army brought a full thirty falconets!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "They must have completed the installation at this moment."

"You always like to brag about the era of competing for hegemony, so... let me let you listen to the roar of the times!"

He turned around suddenly and shouted: "Gao Biao! Fire for me! Blast their heavy cavalry!"

The loud noise shocked the sky! Thirty huge cannons fired at the same time! Countless fireballs accurately hit the camp of Mongolian heavy cavalry.

At this moment, the army was densely packed, and the power of a cannon was simply beyond description.

The terrifying roar and the terrible waves of fire completely kicked off the prelude to this battle!

The real bloody battle began.
