Chapter 430 Captured
After deflecting several arrows in succession, Ozir Borot finally noticed Ou Zanghua, who was fighting on a high ground and was surrounded by everyone in the center.

He decisively drove the warhorse under his crotch and rushed towards where Ou Zanghua was: "Ou Zanghua, die!"

"Governor" Chen Ru's face changed, and when he was about to stand up to resist, he saw Ou Zanghua's hand holding the arrow turned a circle, and then with a "bang!" he released the bowstring.

With the help of internal strength, the arrow had a rotating force and its speed was so fast that it did not even leave an afterimage.

The arrow hit Ozir Borot on the breastplate on his chest, and he flew backwards from his horse as if he was hit by a cannonball.

Ou Zanghua shot four arrows in succession, nailing his limbs to the ground and making it impossible for him to stand up.

"The Governor's archery skills are truly amazing!" The commander of the central army, Anxiang Earl Zhang Duo, could not help but praise when he saw this scene.

"My swordsmanship is far superior to my archery." Ou Zanghua smiled, looked at the situation that was under control, put away his bow, and said to everyone, "The Earl of Anxiang and the Marquis of Taining will continue to be on duty, and the rest of you can go back to your camps and rest!"

"Yes!"

In the Mongolian military camp, Dayan Khan heard the sound of the artillery camp explosion and quickly walked out.

You should know that when Genghis Khan was planning the standing army, he also included the artillery army, and at that time he manufactured cannons and siege kerosene barrels.

When attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, they used fireballs, which were very advanced at the time.

When the Mongolian army attacked Europe, Batu, the grandson of Genghis Khan, led his army to sweep across various city-states in Europe with artillery and gunpowder arrows. In the Battle of Walstad near Legnica, they used firearms such as gunpowder arrows and cluster rockets to defeat the Polish and German coalition forces.

Therefore, Dayan Khan also attached great importance to firearms, but their ancestors were driven back to the Mongolian grasslands, chased and chopped by Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty several times, and were blocked by technology for nearly a hundred years. Now it is difficult for them to even produce an iron pot, let alone things like cannons.

In order to build the artillery camp, Dayan Khan took great pains. Some of these cannons were snatched from the Ming army, and some were bought from the Timurid Empire at a high price. Unfortunately, this relative-in-law died suddenly in the first year of Zhengde.

As a result, now more than half of it has been destroyed. How could he not feel sad?
However, Dayan Khan did not feel sad for too long because he received news of his heart attack.

Ozir Borot led 5,000 elite cavalry to attack the Ming army camp at night. However, the enemy was more skilled and more than half of the 5,000 elite soldiers were killed. Only more than 1,000 people escaped in panic. His son Ozir Borot was shot dead by Ou Zanghua himself.

"Did you see with your own eyes that Ozir Borot was shot to death?!" Ordo Guhai asked gritting his teeth as he mentioned the soldier who had escaped.

The soldier raised his hand and swore, "Great Khan, I swear to the Eternal Heaven that I saw with my own eyes that the lord was shot in the chest by that handsome and brave young man, and he was shot with four more arrows afterwards. By the way, Gerile, Bodor and the others saw it too!"

After hearing this, Ordo Guhai's face became even gloomier and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Dayan Khan.

Dayan Khan closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said with a trembling voice: "On the battlefield, life is like the most insignificant grass on the grassland, which is fleeting. Even if Ozir Bolot is my son."

"Khan, please accept my condolences." Ordo Guhai put the soldier down and comforted him dryly.

"Give Ou Zhanshi a letter. Tomorrow the two sides will exchange the remains of the soldiers. Ozir Borot likes the style of Tumochuan, and I want to take him back." After Dayan Khan finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the big tent.

When Ordo Guhai followed in, he heard Dayan Khan add: "The priest told me in the evening that it will rain tomorrow, so after exchanging the bodies, let's fight immediately!"

"Yes!" Early in the morning of the next day, Busang Namuslai came to the Ming army camp with Dayan Khan's order. Ou Zanghua did not object after hearing it, and immediately asked the soldiers to return the Mongolian bodies to Busang Namuslai.

When Busanamus found that Ochirbolot was not among the bodies, he came back to ask the reason.

"That won't do," Ou Zanghua shook his head and refused, "Lord Wuzier Bolot didn't die in battle, he was a prisoner, so he doesn't meet the conditions for exchange."

Seeing that Busanamuslai didn't believe it, he specially arranged for someone to take him to see Ochir Borot who was tied up.

When Wuzier Bolot saw an acquaintance coming, he struggled and shouted, "See Busan Namusi, go and ask that villain Ou Zanghua to let me go. I want to have a man-to-man duel with him! He defeated the minority last night with more people, which was not the work of a warrior. He dared not confront me head-on!"

Seeing the young master full of vigor and spirit, Busanamus was at a loss as to what to do but to comfort him. Then he took the body back to the Mongolian camp and told the Khan the truth.

However, the series of actions previously arranged had already been launched, and the Mongolian cavalry divided into three groups and began to move.

After receiving the reminder from the scout, Ou Zanghua immediately went up to the command platform. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting darker and it looked like a heavy rain was coming. He looked at the situation in the Mongolian camp and suddenly realized that Dayan Khan was not going to delay any longer.

After realizing this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking about it carefully, he had been dealing with the Mongolian army of 100,000 alone for seven days, but no reinforcements arrived.

According to the walking distance, it should take seven days to reach the destination from Jizhou to Kalachin even if you climb.

"call"

Slowly exhaling, Ou Zanghua looked at Yining, and immediately found Taoist Wang Chengwu and the five commanders, and said: "Everyone, judging from the situation, the Mongols are planning to attack today. If we want to survive, we can only fight to the death."

Everyone was stunned. Taoist Wang Chengwu asked directly, "Master Ou, didn't you say before that our mission is to delay the main force of Mongolia and then reinforcements will come?"

"Things change rapidly on the battlefield. Any plan should be changed accordingly when facing unexpected situations, rather than standing still." Ou Zanghua shook his head and said nothing more.

But among the people present, except Taoist Wang Chengwu and Taining Marquis Chen Ru, who is not a shrewd person?
Ou Zanghua's short sentence had already made them guess that some kind of accident must have occurred in the rear.

It’s just that the situation is unclear right now, so no one wants to speak up.

"Master Wang," Ou Zanghua looked at Wang Chengwu with a firm gaze and said solemnly, "Your mission is very important. In addition to protecting the camp, you also need to cooperate with me. I will personally lead the left and right wing cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the Mongolian front army. Once I lock on Dayan Khan's whereabouts, the next key lies in the performance of the artillery camp. Everything depends on you."

After hearing this, Wang Chengwu asked, "Do we still need to conceal the range?"

"No, our first priority is to kill the Mongolian leader!"

"I understand, please rest assured, sir!"
