There were 10,000 people of Tartars who prostrated on the side.

From a distance, war horses and cavalry seem to have swept the entire grassland from the horizon.

On the head of the Ming army, the drums changed again, every five chariots were interlocked with copper rings, the arrows were to the north, and the artillery was filled with gunpowder in turn, and the large and small iron balls and soil were either fired by cars or fixed with piles. The long card hand is wearing armor next to the car, the fire gun hand is standing behind the car, the battle array is full of swords and guns, in the drums, the Ming army is waiting with bated breath.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and the interlocking chariots lined up horizontally, pushed forward by manpower, and the long cards erected blocked the oncoming arrows, making a dull sound.

The sharp spears and wooden thorns on the car suddenly flashed with cold light.

The horse neighed, and the knight on the horse was also frightened, and instinctively pulled the reins to reduce the horse's speed. The galloping war horse raised its front hooves, and in a hurry, the rear team collided with the front team, raising a cloud of dust.

The commanders and centurions were drowned in the neighing of men and horses, and were almost inaudible. He could only blow the horn, divide his troops one after another, bypass the rows of hedgehog-like chariots in front of him, and break through the gaps between the left and right or the chariots.

The nomads are a people on horses, with superb riding skills and control over war horses, which are not comparable to ordinary Ming cavalry. Even if they were beaten from the regular army to a guerrilla army, as long as enough warriors were gathered, they could still pose a threat to the borders of the Ming Dynasty.

The Northern Yuan cavalry was getting closer and closer, and when the distance was less than five hundred paces, the artillery of the Ming army rang out, the smoke and dust were filled, and the scattered large and small iron balls smashed into the galloping cavalry, and when they fell, they brought a rain of blood.

War is cruel, once you go to the battlefield, the only thing that can support yourself and protect yourself is killing, killing the enemy.

After the artillery, there was a series of firecrackers, and the smoke and loud sound of gunpowder once again slowed down the charge of the Northern Yuan cavalry.

According to the convention, the distance is too close, and each firearm only has time to be released once, and I don't want to, just today, Kaipingwei's firecrackers broke this convention.

With three volleys, the Northern Yuan cavalry was completely caught off guard.

The muskets placed on the chariots and the pre-arranged loading of gunpowder by the border troops had an unexpected effect.

Meng also didn't expect that he just mentioned those two sentences in his reply, which was remembered by Shen Xuan and used on the battlefield almost perfectly. Compared with later generations, this kind of perfection still carries many shortcomings, but now, the shock that this way of fighting brings to the enemy and oneself cannot be described in words.

"Array, meet the enemy!"

The officers in the battle formation issued orders, and the biggest effect of chariots and firearms was to slow down the speed of the Northern Yuan cavalry and disrupt their charging formation.

This is another collision of strength and courage between nomads and farming peoples in the era of alternating cold weapons and hot weapons.

At the head of the city, Zhu Gaoxu, a young man with boiling blood, patted the city bricks vigorously and applauded loudly.

The eyes that were hot because of the war reminded Chen Heng, the commander of Beiping, and Xu Zhong, the commander of Kaipingwei, of another person, the king of Yan, who led his troops to the north to conquer the desert twice, made great achievements, and was known for his good fighting.

Compared with Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, who loves to read and has a gentle nature, the king of Gaoyang County is more like his father.

"Don't stop Lonely, Lone wants to go down!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Gaoxu was no longer satisfied with seeing with his eyes, he was eager to go to the battlefield in person and kill with knives and guns.

"King of the county, please think twice!"

Xu Zhong guarded Kaiping, and he only heard of the name of this Gaoyang county king, but Chen Heng knew Zhu Gaoxu's great achievements quite well. In the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, King Yan led his army to the north, and Zhu Gaoxu, who had just been crowned the king of the county, called for the northern expedition to the desert with the army.

"Son-desire-do-horse-pawn, go north with my father!"

At that time, the whole army of King Yan praised the king of Gaoyang County. It was King Yan, who was dissatisfied with Emperor Hongwu's establishment of the emperor's grandson, and he was also heartbroken because of the words of his second son.

The only one who feels depressed may be the son Zhu Gaochi. No matter how depressed he is, the conditions are there, unless he returns to the furnace to rebuild, otherwise, the external conditions are definitely not as good as Xiao Ru's father's younger brother.

"The king of the county, there are no eyes on the battlefield, please think twice!"

The military general is not a literati, and there are only a few words to persuade and persuade, but in the end, it makes Zhu Gaoxu even more impatient.

He inherited not only the belligerence of King Yan, but also his not very good temper.

"Don't stop Lonely!"

The fifteen-year-old county king was powerful, Chen Heng and Xu Zhong were sweating profusely, and the last one still followed Zhu Gaoxu's guards to speak, and raised the command of the king of Yan to persuade him.

Chen Heng and Xu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, glanced at each other, and didn't understand what His Royal Highness King Yan thought, knowing that the Lu Dao Tartars came to threshk grass at this time every year, and let their son run to the border, something was going wrong, how should the people below explain?

At the same time that the two were puzzled, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly sighed and pointed to the battlefield below, "What's going on?" ”

It turned out that the Northern Yuan cavalry, which was fighting with the infantry of the Ming army, was dividing a team of 100 people from the left wing to attack a lookout platform about ten miles away from the city. In the past, these border troops on the piers outside the city always played the role of cannon fodder and were the first to die. Now, the cavalry of the Ming army has rushed into the battlefield from both sides, and the other lookout piers have disappeared one after another, but the lookout piers are still holding on.

A moment later, another team of 100 people broke up, and the target was still the lookout platform!

Not only Zhu Gaoxu, but even Chen Heng and Xu Zhong also began to pay attention to the lookout platform.

"Who's guarding that place?"

Xu Zhong asked the commander of the guard at the head of the same city, and he didn't want the other party to be confused. In the city, all the soldiers from a thousand households to the bottom led the troops to fight, and the guards of a lookout pier, how could he deliberately pay attention?

"Those who defend this place will be good warriors!" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were burning and his sharpness was compelling, "When the Tartars are repulsed, Xiao Wang must meet him!" ”

Hearing this, everyone in the city looked at each other, and secretly said in their hearts: Is Gaoyang Junwang's words intentional or unintentional? If you have the heart, I am afraid that you need to order someone to send someone to rescue this pier.

Meng didn't know that he was being remembered by the young man Zhu Gaoxu, and his situation was already quite critical. The well-arranged horse rejection and trapping did play a significant role, but it could not hold up too many enemies. The horse was knocked open, and broken wooden spikes and spears were scattered on the ground. The pit was filled with the corpses of men and horses, and the road to the bunker was stained red with blood, and lay on the ground, except for the Tartar and his frontier troops.

"Ding Xiaoqi, how many people are left?"

Leaning against the wall, not caring about the bow and arrows flying over, Meng tore off a piece of undershirt, bit it in his mouth, and tightened his bleeding arm.

It hurts, it hurts so much that it almost goes numb.

"Back to the general banner, Liu Xiaoqi led people to guard the back mountain, this fashion and I don't know, there are only twelve people left in the fort."

Twelve?

Meng was stunned for a moment, and clenched his fists violently.

He promised to keep everyone alive.

He promised......

"General Flag?"

Ding Xiaoqi was not injured, but his embarrassed appearance was not much better than others.

"Ding Xiaoqi, do you think we can still live?"

Meng's words were not answered, and no one could give him an answer.

There were too many Tartars, and from the beginning to the present, he didn't have the energy to count how many he had killed, he only knew that the spears in his hands had increased to three, and even the waist knife was curled. If he hadn't had a breath to hold on, he wouldn't even be able to stand up.

He didn't understand, it was just a lookout platform, and the Tartars were so desperate to fill it up, as for it?

If there is a map in front of him at this time, it may be able to give Meng Ti a wake-up call. The place he was guarding happened to be on the way to the attack and retreat of the Northern Yuan cavalry, and if he didn't take it down, in case the threshing grass failed, he wouldn't be at ease when he ran away.

"One more time, we'll really have to ......" Meng said halfway through, he suddenly stopped, and grabbed the knotted hair hard, he couldn't die, absolutely not!

At this moment, the border troops on the second floor of the bunker suddenly shouted: "General flag! Look! ”

Meng stood up, raised his eyes, and was stunned.

A cavalry in a scarlet jacket is being strangled with the Tartars under the mountain!

Is this a coincidence?

Still is......

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Meng Yi gritted his teeth, "Everyone, do you dare to fight with Meng?" ”

"The general flag just gives the order!"

"Good!" Meng threw away the long knife with a curled blade, and grabbed another spear casually, "Go and call Liu Zongqi over, let's bet on this one!" ”

Under the pier, the Ming army and the Tartars who were fighting in one place, and at the same time heard a roar that seemed to be like a broken gong, which pierced people's ear drums. Looking up, I saw more than a dozen Ming soldiers, pushing three single-wheeled carts with long cards and wooden thorn spears, rushing straight down the mountain.

The people behind the car were all covered in blood, and their faces were hideous, like evil ghosts, not like human voices

Before the people who were fighting could understand what was going on, the Ming army suddenly stopped rushing, grabbed the clods of earth wrapped in stones from the cart, and threw them at the nearby Northern Yuan cavalry with shouts under the cover of long cards.

The Ming army and the Northern Yuan cavalry under the mountain were embarrassed at the same time.

What do these people want to do, are they crazy? Pulling the wooden thorns off the car is better than throwing stones and clods, right?

Perhaps the scene in front of them was too "shocking", so that the Northern Yuan cavalry and the Ming army stopped slashing and watching.

It didn't take long for them to realize that this move was really stupid.

The people who read the water ruthlessly are simply inhumane and outrageous.

The clods of soil were mixed with pepper from Shen Deputy Qianhu, as well as wood thorn crumbs, which could only make people cough a few times, and they would be fatal against the war horses.

The horse suddenly began to neigh, raised its front hooves, shook its neck, and struggled to run away.

Nearly 200 war horses at the same time did not obey the command, and went on a rampage, and the chaos caused by it spread rapidly.

The left-wing of the Northern Yuan cavalry began to be chaotic.

The people at the head of the city noticed it, and Shen Xuan on the battlefield also noticed it, waved his knife to cut off the head of a thousand commanders, raised his long knife, and led the Ming cavalry gathered around him, like a spear, and stabbed it fiercely.

"Good!"

Chen Heng shouted, "Beat the drums, the old man will go out of the city himself!" ”

Xu Zhong didn't hold it, and the old and strong commanded the envoy to go down the city tower with a smoke. The King of Gaoyang County rolled his eyes and wanted to follow, but he was surrounded by the guards he carried, "The King of the County, the prince has repeatedly ordered ......"

"I know it." Zhu Gaoxu twisted his eyebrows, "If you don't go, it's okay." However, the general guarding the pier platform must be seen! ”

"Honorable Order!"
