Chapter 374 Lan Yu leads the coalition forces and invades Tianzhu
Amidst the heavy snow, the border of the Delhi Sultanate.
The camps of the coalition forces of various countries stretch for hundreds of miles, but when viewed from a distance, there is no sign of chilling at all.
Even if you get closer, you can faintly hear the singing and playing.
It's not that the coalition's military discipline is lax, but that just now, the Ming army has arrived at the border.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang directly sent Lan Yu to lead troops, with a total of 20,000 horse and infantry troops, here to command the overall situation.
The original size of the coalition army was 70,000 to 80,000.
Coupled with the 20,000 people led by Lan Yu, the number of coalition forces suddenly reached 100,000.
Among the coalition forces, some countries are too weak, so they claim to be ten thousand, but they are probably less than half.
So when they heard that the Ming army had arrived, many of their generals were terrified, fearing that Lan Yu would be angry because they did not abide by the covenant.
But what they didn't expect was that after Lan Yu arrived, he just hurriedly looked at the account books, learned about the local terrain and other conditions, and then held a banquet directly at the coalition camp.
And in front of everyone, Lan Yu directly pardoned those countries with insufficient numbers.
According to Lan Yu, what Daming wants is an attitude. Since he really can't get it together, there is no need to show up.
The Delhi Sultanate was nothing but barbarians. No matter how strong they were, they would never be stronger than the Mongolian and Yuan armies.
Therefore, as long as you find an opportunity and defeat its forward troops, you can march straight in, and there is no need to be too nervous at all.
If someone else said this, the generals present might not believe it.
But Lan Yu was the uncle-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao, and he followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to fight outside the Great Wall, accumulating a lot of achievements and reputation.
In terms of record, no one present could match him, so there was no doubt about his words.
In terms of status, even Zhu Yuanzhang trusted him, so who would dare to disobey Lan Yu?
So, in the next few days, the coalition forces began a semi-carnival state.
After witnessing Lan Yu's riding and shooting skills, as well as the bright armor and sophisticated weapons of the Ming army, even the lowest level soldiers had no worries.
As a result, the morale of the coalition forces was greatly shaken, and an atmosphere that should have appeared after victory enveloped the entire coalition forces.
On the other side, the defenders of the Delhi Sultanate, because of unknown movements, could only mobilize and station themselves not far from the coalition forces.
When they heard the sounds of celebrations, singing and dancing, the defenders' generals felt a sense of surprise.
Even if the Ming army hadn't joined on the opposite side, they might have launched an attack and took advantage of the situation to defeat the coalition forces.
When it comes to the reaction of the defenders, we have to say a coincidence.
The achievements and power of the Ming army have been spread to the world through businessmen, which has invisibly put great psychological pressure on the defending soldiers and generals.
Time passes and people's hearts become strange.
After waiting for several days, the coalition forces were always celebrating. Gradually, the Delhi Sultan's army began to wonder whether the Ming army was not as elite as the rumors said.
Some generals were even more ready to launch a tentative attack on them.
But just when they were about to take action, another large Ming army came rushing in from a distance.
The scout looked at this army from a distance and felt like a tiger descending from the mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
For a time, the coalition camp almost doubled in size again.
Some coalition soldiers who didn't know the truth were even shocked by this situation. They all opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
But after a brief period of consternation, the coalition soldiers began to chant.
The shouting was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, making the energy rise higher and higher.
When Lan Yu got the news, he immediately led various troops to join him, making the team look like an endless river from a distance.
Sapphire looks rough and heroic, but it is rough but delicate.
As early as after receiving the decree, Lan Yu divided his troops into several teams and came in batches.
This kind of behavior, in addition to making enough food and grass to avoid being attacked by the enemy, or even annihilating it, is also to confuse the enemy and make it difficult for him to determine how many troops he has.
He didn't have much affection for foreigners, let alone trust, so when he arrived here and joined the coalition forces, Lan Yu simply pretended to be underestimating the enemy to cover up everything. 【013004517 Feilu 161121011】
As for the tactics of luring the enemy, it was not a lie. At that time, Lan Yu really felt that if the Delhi Sultan's army came, he would be able to encircle and kill them on the border.
Unfortunately, after waiting for several days, the enemy did not dare to take action.
Thinking that this meeting would make the enemy even more wary and that their future actions would become more cautious, Lan Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
........*0.
After understanding the marching route of his men and the various intelligences they obtained, Lan Yu held another military meeting to prepare for the final battle.
He was still discussing strategies, but the Delhi Sultan's army on the opposite side was almost in chaos.
Because of the scouts, the news quickly spread back to the army.
And the general Eris simply summoned the army directly, ready to go to war at any time.
But in the end, after seeing the continuous army, Eris actually panicked.
They couldn't see the number of Ming troops, but they were sure that they were very large.
I don't even know who spread the rumor that the Ming army mobilized 100,000 people to attack them together with other countries.
.......0
For a time, rumors spread that the soldiers in the army no longer had the will to fight, and they were even thinking about how to break away from the army every day.
Naturally, the general Eris noticed this, but couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
He still can't figure out why so many people from the Ming army came all of a sudden.
You know, the two countries had no previous contacts, and they had nothing to offend each other.
Even if they had something to do with King Liang of Meng Yuan, they did not come forward directly. Regardless of emotion or reason, it seemed that the blame should not be placed on them.
However, if you can’t figure it out, you still can’t figure it out. This does not hinder the rapid spread of news.
When the army was filled with the haze of retreat, some soldiers who had really escaped had already spread the news.
Not only are people talking a lot, but even the people in the court of the Delhi Sultanate are unstable.
Some people even directly proposed to contact their opponents, the rebels of the Tughluq Dynasty, to defend against the enemy together.
You know, today's Delhi Sultanate, the nominal king's title should still be the Tughluq Dynasty.
Just because after the new king came to the throne, some people took advantage of the situation, causing turmoil in the country and the territory began to shrink.
Therefore, in just one year, even the ministers of the Delhi Sultanate did not feel that they could still maintain the name of the Tughluq Dynasty.
But even so, cooperating with traitors is still a disgraceful and even insulting act to the country. .
