Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 243 Mutual nesting!Ming army with oriole behind

Wang Baobao was also shocked when he first started.

Because although the Mongolian Yuan army also has 6 people, there are less than 2 cavalry among them, and the rest are all infantry and heavy soldiers.

Yes, the orthodoxy of the Great Mongol Kingdom, which relied on cavalry to rule the world back then, turned out to be dominated by infantry in the hands of Wang Baobao.

However, after conducting a personal investigation, Wang Baobao soon had a general understanding of the army of the Golden Horde.

"The enemy is far from being as powerful as it looks. Although many of their cavalry are armored, their lineup is chaotic, and they obviously don't have any good drills. Even if they are wearing heavy armor, they will definitely not be able to break through our defense line!"

Wang Baobao said confidently to his generals.

The infantry of the Mongolian and Yuan army is mainly composed of Sinicized Mongols and Han people. They have basically served in the Central Plains for a long time and have rich experience in fighting against cavalry.

Moreover, Wang Baobao also discovered that among the troops of the Golden Horde, there were no traces of advanced firearms at all, and there were at most a dozen small cannons less than three feet long.

As for the matchlock gun, there is not even a hair.

In Wang Baobao's Mongolian Yuan army, there were nearly a hundred artillery pieces, large and small, and all of them were imitated from the advanced style of the Ming army.

Both the Mongolian Yuan and the Golden Horde were full of confidence in themselves, and a decisive battle was launched on the vast river plain.

Both parties claim to be the orthodox heirs of the Great Mongol Kingdom.

It's just that all the troops on one side are holding high the new moon flag of Tianfang Sect.

The other side of the army, this is the backbone of the Sinicized infantry.

The two sides are in the same situation, and the bloody battle will soon begin.

The Golden Horde army led by Navrus is huge, and it is naturally impossible to suppress all of them at once.

So Navrus personally led tens of thousands of elites as a reserve team, sitting in the central army to watch the battle.

The Qincha cavalry of the Golden Horde took the lead in attacking the Mongolian Yuan army.

These cavalry on the Chincha grassland, like the Mongols, also lived a nomadic life since childhood.

Therefore, their tactics and tactics are almost the same as those of the Mongols. The cavalry phalanx is composed of a large number of light cavalry and a small number of elite heavy cavalry.

It's just that these brave and skilled Chincha cavalry were smashed in front of the infantry of the Mongolian Yuan army.

The soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan army basically had quite a lot of battles with the Red Scarf Army, and they were far superior to these Qincha cavalry in terms of tactics, tactics and organization.

What's more, Wang Baobao also deployed a large number of muskets and artillery in the Mongolian Yuan army, which even made the blood of these Qincha cavalrymen flow into rivers.

Fierce battles took place one after another on the battlefield, and the casualties of the Golden Horde army gradually increased.

But the phalanx of the Mongolian Yuan army did not waver at all.

Navrus, who was watching the battle from behind, immediately sensed the crisis.

"The Chincha cavalry can't hold it so fast!?"

Navrus was startled and terrified. The combat effectiveness of the Chincha cavalry was considered to be upper-middle in the Golden Horde, but the morale of the Mongolian Yuan army was beaten so quickly.

It's just that before Navrus had time to send troops to support the Kipchak cavalry, the Oala cavalry in the Mongolian Yuan army took the lead in launching a countercharge.

The ancestors of the Oirats fought Genghis Khan on the grassland for three rounds before being defeated and surrendered. Naturally, their combat effectiveness far surpassed that of the Chincha cavalry.

Although the number of Oirat cavalry was small, with the support of artillery and infantry of the Mongolian Yuan army, they quickly killed the Chincha cavalry of the Golden Horde and fled in all directions.

On a chaotic battlefield, a small accident can trigger a rout.

What's more, the Kipchak cavalry, the main force of the Golden Horde army, was defeated, and the consequences were even more disastrous.

As the coach of the First Army, Wang Baobao naturally couldn't miss this excellent opportunity.

He immediately commanded the elite of his men to rush and beat on the gap of the Golden Horde.

The artillery of the Mongolian Yuan army also poured out its firepower mercilessly. Any Golden Horde army that dared to resist would suffer heavy casualties under the bombardment of the artillery.

Khan Navrus of the Golden Horde was completely stunned.

He never thought that the enemy on the opposite side would be so powerful.

When Navrus reacted...

The Mongolian Yuan army commanded by Wang Baobao has completely disrupted the formation of the Golden Horde.

There are many vassal servants in the Golden Horde army. Their fighting will was not strong. Now they have been cut off by the Mongolian Yuan army, and each of them is fighting alone.

Soon, the army of the Golden Horde had a chain reaction of a sharp drop in morale.

A branch of the army began to run to the rear.

Navrus was powerless to stop this sudden rout.

The Mongolian and Yuan army commanded by Wang Baobao became even more courageous as they fought.

After they saw that the enemy had collapsed, they chased and fought all the way, and did not give the Golden Horde army a chance to regroup.

A big defeat became the final outcome of the battle of the Golden Horde.

The Mongolian Yuan army killed and captured tens of thousands of people during the battle, and even Sulu Ding, the Golden Horde to which Navrus belonged, was captured by the Mongolian Yuan army during the rout.

As for the captive cattle, sheep and horses, there are countless.

If it weren't for the fact that Navrus's mount was a steed that was one in a thousand and ran very fast, I'm afraid that even he would be a prisoner of Meng Yuan.

For these captured Golden Horde soldiers, Wang Baobao didn't have much sympathy for them.

The distance of thousands of miles has made them no longer regard each other as compatriots.

For these captives, Wang Baobao adopted the method of drawing one out of three to execute, and the rest were all treated as slaves, and they were prepared to reward meritorious soldiers and Oirats after they returned.

It's just that among these captives, Wang Baobao found a group of very different Golden Horde soldiers.

The general soldiers of the Golden Horde are Tianfang believers, but these captives are not Tianfang believers at all.

Moreover, these captives are quite hostile to the Tianfang believers of the Golden Horde, and the Tianfang believers also dislike them.

Wang Baobao immediately interrogated the prisoners himself.

"It turns out that they are the Oros people." Wang Baobao knew that when Genghis Khan sent his army to the west, the land conquered in the westernmost part belonged to the Oros people.

The Rus people of this era are basically all vassal states of the Golden Horde.

The ancestors of later generations of Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians and other countries have now split into a dozen large and small principalities.

These Slavs belonged to the most backward group in Europe. Facing the Mongolian conquerors from the east, they were naturally no match. They could only obediently be the lackeys of the Mongolians.

Through the interrogation of these Russian captives, Wang Baobao knew that their country was headed by a Muscovite principality, all of which were vassals of the Golden Horde.

In addition to paying food, gold and silver and women every year, a religious tax must also be paid ten years ago.

Because the Khan of the Golden Horde converted to Tianfang religion, it is natural to collect religious taxes from pagans in accordance with Tianfang teachings.

This made the lives of the Slavs increasingly difficult. They refused to change their Orthodox beliefs, and they couldn't defeat the powerful army of the Golden Horde.

Today's battle is definitely an eye-opener for these Slavs.

In the eyes of the Slavs, the army of the Golden Horde is the most powerful army in the world. Whether they are Georgians, Bulgarians or Poles, they are all defeated by the Golden Horde army.

But such a powerful Golden Horde army was defeated by Wang Baobao in embarrassment.

The shock brought to these Slavs can be said to be indescribable in words.

"It turns out that you are not followers of the Tianfang Church. Do you, the Orthodox Church, worship a kind of cross?" Wang Baobao asked the captured Slavic generals.

As a vassal state of the Golden Horde, the Slavs' nobles and generals naturally knew a lot of Mongolian, and there were basically no obstacles to communication between the two sides.

"You are right, Your Majesty! That is the sacred symbol of Jesus in the world!" A Slav nobleman named Andre knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

These Slavs couldn't figure out Wang Baobao's origin, they only knew that they were Mongols on the eastern grasslands, and when they saw that Wang Baobao was the leader of this army, they thought Wang Baobao was the emperor of the Mongolian Empire in the far east.

"I see, it seems that you and those Aso people should be of the same religion!"

Wang Baobao looked at the crosses in the hands of these Slavic prisoners, nodded and said.

The Aso people were the people who conquered Eastern Europe and the Caucasus during the Mongolian expedition to the west. Most of them had the same belief as the Slavs, that is, the Orthodox Church.

When the Mongolian and Yuan courts were fighting against the Red Scarf Army, they mobilized many Asu people to go out.

Naturally, Wang Baobao was very familiar with them, and even had some understanding of their religious habits.

After talking with these Slavic captives, Wang Baobao became happier as he chatted.

Because he felt that he seemed to have found a way to deal with Tian Fangjiao.

Wang Baobao already knew that from the Hezhong area to the west, even to the end of the mountains and seas, all countries and nationalities have their own religions.

Among these ethnic groups, religion is law, religion is state, and religion is ethics.

No matter how powerful the conqueror is, it is absolutely impossible to rule these ethnic groups without a suitable religion as a means.

The powerful Golden Horde defeated all enemies, but only a few decades have passed, and the monarchs and nobles of the Golden Horde from top to bottom have also chosen to convert to Tianfang Sect.

Because Tianfang Sect has a huge territory and a large population, if a country wants to maintain a stable rule, choosing Tianfang Sect seems to be a very good decision.

However, because of the massacres in the Chagatai Khanate, Wang Baobao has already become the public enemy of many Tianfang believers.

Of course, the Tianfang believers are not so strong. During the Mongolian expedition to the west, Hulagu broke through Baghdad and ordered thousands of horses to trample to death the leader of the Tianfang religion, the Caliph. The Ilkhanate he established did not rule the Tianfang believers as usual.

There is a more important reason, of course, that Wang Baobao extremely dislikes the teachings of Tianfang Sect.

The sanctity and teaching method of the prophets and grandchildren of Tianfang Sect are contrary to the Emperor Dayuan and the ethics of Sinicization. Once he converts to Tianfang Sect, Wang Baobao will be questioned by the Emperor Dayuan of his legitimacy.

The more he talked with these Slavic captives, the more Wang Baobao felt that the Orthodox Church seemed more suitable for the Yuan Dynasty.

In the Orthodox Church, the power of the head of the church is far lower than that of the emperor, and the power of the bishops in various places is not as good as that of the feudal lords.

In the Tianfang religion, the religious leader is the prime minister, and the caliph is even more sacred and unquestionable.

Wang Baobao felt that if he used the Orthodox Church, he could win millions of Slavs under his command.

If the Slavs can be mobilized to cooperate with themselves in defeating the Golden Horde, wouldn't the future be bright?
The more Wang Baobao thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately ordered that all these Slav captives be lifted from the restrictions. Although their weapons and armor were still confiscated, they were given sufficient food and a relatively free range of activities.

Wang Baobao's move immediately made these Slavs feel grateful.

Take the initiative to help the Mongolian Yuan army take care of and monitor the Tianfangjiao prisoners of the Golden Horde.

Pity these Tianfang believers of the Golden Horde, not only reduced to miserable prisoners, but also humiliated and tortured by two groups of heretics, one east and one west.

After defeating the army of the Golden Horde, Wang Baobao led the Mongolian Yuan army all the way, sweeping away the opposition forces in the Hezhong area again.

The originally prosperous and prosperous Hezhong area has been turned into a wasteland after the battle between Wang Baobao and the Golden Horde.

Although those Slavs did not have many weapons, they were very active in the process of massacring the Tianfang Cultists.

Soon these Slavs won Wang Baobao's favor.

Wang Baobao ordered that the Slavic general Andrei be appointed as General Ross of the Yuan Dynasty to command the [-] Slavic captives in the Yuan army.

oh of course!

Now these Slavs are no longer prisoners, but the official army of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the Ross army.

These Slavs quickly set off wave after wave of massacres in the middle of the river. They were brutal and cruel, and they were merciless towards Tianfang Cultists. Even women and children would become their targets of massacre.

Many people in the Mongolian Yuan army felt that they were cold-blooded and ruthless, but compared with these Slavs, they were considered good people.

Even the equally barbaric Oirats were quite shocked by what these Slavs did.

Hao Hai, the leader of Oirat, persuaded Wang Baobao: "Teacher, these Rus barbarians are like wild beasts. I have also seen with my own eyes that when they have food to eat, they insist on eating human flesh. They are more ferocious than wild wolves. They are animals after all. It is also inhumane, if one day they rebel against us, the consequences will be disastrous, why not kill them all now."

Wang Baobao didn't take Hao Hai's worries seriously, because he had already discovered that although these Slavs were extremely ferocious, they didn't have too much combat power on the battlefield, and it was difficult to threaten the Mongolian Yuan army.

Because when these Slavs massacred civilians, they were extremely brave and extremely cruel without a bottom line.

but.

They are too barbaric and backward, with a serious lack of discipline and organization.

On the battlefield are all brave individuals, it is difficult to form a coordinated army.

"A dog that can bite people is a good dog!" Wang Baobao dismissed Hao Hai's suggestion with one sentence.

Wang Baobao has already made up his mind to fight with Tianfang to teach the world to live forever.

However, he is single and weak, so he must win over these Slavs or further Orthodox Christians for his own use.

After Wang Baobao defeated the Golden Horde, while he was busy burning, killing and looting in the Hezhong area, he sent people to chase and kill the nobles of the Western Chagatai Khanate who had fled to the southern mountainous area.

The Xichagatai Khanate has been completely finished, but the little Khan Babur, supported by the lame Timur and others, still has considerable appeal. Wang Baobao intends to take the opportunity to completely eradicate this hidden danger.

but.

Wang Baobao never expected it.

When he completely took away the old nest of the Xichagatai Khanate, his old nest was also attacked by the Ming army!
