Chapter 184: Tile Thorn Retreats

Without the support of firearms, how could the foot soldiers block the cavalry onslaught of the tile spurs?

Yang Hong naturally couldn't let them continue to play this kind of game.

Yang Hong gave an order, and the two cavalry galloped out. Immediately, the cavalry that was about to shoot arrows was scattered.

The cavalry on both sides began to tremble before the infantry formation, and suddenly the Ming cavalry retreated from both sides, leaking the tile spur cavalry in front of the infantry formation.

With a bang, countless firearms exploded, covering a distance of about a hundred steps in front of the main formation, and more than 100 cavalry suddenly fell to the ground

Timur's face suddenly became ugly.

He thought for a moment. Finally admit one thing.

The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are foot soldiers or cavalry, are evenly matched with the iron cavalry, and such an opponent can only exchange life for life, and exchange son for son, if you want to play any cleverness, you can only be smart, but you are mistaken by cleverness

A lost Timur gave an order, and a large group of cavalry assembled in front of the Ming army.

Then the trumpets were all in unison

The light cavalry of the brigade rushed to the front, shooting arrows while rushing, and suddenly the Ming soldiers suffered a wave of arrow rain again, and the Ming army infantry was not inferior, shooting with various firearms against the arrow rain.

The two sides are like two hedgehogs approaching, bearing the pain of others stabbing themselves, desperately trying to stab others to death.

It was just that the largest bow rider was beared, and at a distance of dozens of paces in front of the Ming army's formation, he suddenly turned. Divided into two teams and withdrew.

What suddenly appeared in front of them was the killer weapon of the tile thorn, and the tile thorn finally relied on, the heavy armored cavalry. They were clad in armor and armed with spears.

rushed through a distance of dozens of paces and smashed heavily into the Ming army's infantry formation.

In an instant, the casualties on both sides reached a peak.

The spears of the foot soldiers and the spears of the cavalry can kill at once.

It's just that in comparison, the pressure on the Ming army's infantry array is greater. After all, not everyone can face a sea of cavalry and be as immobile as a mountain.

It's just that the pawns of Datong Town did it.

Especially the foot soldiers in the front, they were killed by the heavy cavalry almost instantly, but the spears they were holding did not change direction in the last minute behind them.

Most of the cavalry went straight ahead.

The Ming army's infantry was loosened.

The second group of Tile Iron Riders crashed into it again.

This time, the front of the Ming army was in disarray. Not as neatly prepared before, the lethality brought by the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry to the infantry array will only be greater.

Then the third batch came.

This time, the Ming army's infantry formation could not withstand the tremendous pressure and began to deform.

The middle is concave to the back.

Ah Shi Timur couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the tile spur heavy armored cavalry, no matter what time it was, is very precious, and the entire tile spur is only tens of thousands of horses.

It is from Mahamu, Dehuan, and first, three generations of Taishi have accumulated

Get up at home. Ah lost Timur, at this moment, with the lives of three hundred iron horsemen, the Ming army's infantry formation was loosened.

I don't know if it's worth it.

Ayu Timur immediately ordered a general attack.

The cavalry of the brigade killed the past, and at this time, the counterattack of the Daming infantry formation was relatively scattered. In the face of the rushing brigade, the cavalry was a little powerless.

It's just that even so, the most basic organization can still be maintained, although it is pressed to retreat step by step, but it seems that it can still maintain a certain order, and it is still far from collapsing.

Timur felt that he had won the victory, and as long as he continued to put pressure on the Ming army, the Ming army would collapse sooner or later

It's just that he rejoiced too soon.

Suddenly, the cannons above the city, one after another, roared intensively, and countless cannons vented their fire outside the city.

Because as the Ming soldiers retreated step by step, the tile spur cavalry had been introduced into the coverage of the Ming army's firepower.

The range of firearms in this era was quite limited. Otherwise, there is no need to give in to the pawns to lure the Varspur army deeper with their lives. In this round of shooting, the city was shooting desperately

Shoot until all the artillery is red.

At this time, the Tile Thorn cavalry was stunned. In this era, there were no heavy artillery, most of them were fist shells, but no matter how big the shells were, they were always effective in killing people

Many of the cavalry watched, and the shells that seemed to be flying very slowly pierced several people at once, fell to the ground, and then bounced up and broke several horses' legs.

In short, it's a mess.

No matter how powerful the Tile Thorn cavalry is, under such circumstances, it can't help but withdraw automatically.

Yang Hong was waiting for this time, he gave an order, the artillery fire at the head of the city suddenly stopped, and all the cavalry in Datong Town rushed out, chasing the tail of the tile spur cavalry, and killed it hard.

At this time, I saw that Yang Hong was powerful

A disciplined army was a completely different situation from an undisciplined army, and this group of Tile Thorn cavalry was stunned and for a moment was in a state of loss of organization.

So when Yang Hong chased and killed, they were equal in number to Yang Hong, but they didn't have the strength to fight back at all, and Yang Hong didn't kill them all. Now the Ou tail pursued, driving them into the Tile Thorn formation.

After they rushed into chaos, Yang Hong killed it again, as if it was a snowball, driving the defeated soldiers into the Tile Spur formation.

He also ordered the whole army to retreat three miles, and only then did he stabilize his position.

Yang Hong also understands that when he sees that the tile spur is holding a steady position, there is no advantage to take advantage of. Therefore, he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated under the city walls.

At this moment, Yang Hong was still in battle under the city wall, but everyone in the tile spurs had no idea of attacking again.

"Father." Ayu Timur said: "The child's command is not good, please punish the father?" ”

He also said first: "It's okay, you."

The command is already good, but you are playing against Yang Hong, a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, such an opponent, in such a situation, it is difficult to defeat. ”

"You've done enough."

Not all of what I said was to comfort Timur. Part of it is true.

For a general like Yang Hong, fighting on the battlefield of his choice, occupying the time, place, and people.

As far as the time of the day, and now is the hottest time, the army of the tile spur is not tolerant of the heat, the location is favorable, the city of Datong, the people, the actions of the tile spur, so that in the town of Datong, all of them are united, and there is only one thought, which is to take revenge on the tile spur.

The command of Timur, although there is nothing brilliant, is an ordinary way for the tile spurs to face the foot soldiers, and many armies in the Western Regions cannot stop these few loose hands.

But the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty after all, not those small countries in the Western Regions.

He also looked at the sky first and said, "Pass the order, and the army will withdraw from the side wall." ”

"Yes." The generals under his command also said one after another. Go down immediately and make arrangements.

Tamur said, "Father, isn't it detrimental to the prestige of our father that we are going away like this?" ”

He also said first: "Do you remember that on the battlefield, everything is false, and only victory is real? I just want to let Yang Hong have the exclusive reputation of repelling me, the Great Yuan Taishi, and use my prestige for decades to lift Yang Hong up, Mr. Zhang, you draft a letter on behalf of this king, and leave it to the Ming army in Beijing, telling them how this king is shocked by General Yang Hong, and he can't wait to swim with his arms. ”

Zhang Zongzhou understood it at one point and said, "The minister understands. ”

But there was something that Timur did not understand.

He thought about it for a while before he understood something.

His father was also the first, before he became the Taishi of the Tile Thorn, he fought in the Western Regions, and beat the Chagatai Khan with his head in his arms. It can be regarded as a far-reaching statement.

Admitting defeat to Yang Hong today will bring Yang Hong a lot of glory.

But the tile spur went south, killed so many people, and robbed so much food, the Jingying army was about to fight, but after coming, they found that the war had been finished by the border army

What is the idea of Jingying? What is the idea of Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo?

Although the Beijing camp and the border army are both Ming troops, but the relationship between the Beijing camp and the border army is not so harmonious?

And at this time, it is known that the Tile Thorn army is wandering outside the side wall, and when the time comes, will the Chengguo Guild be out of the jam?

Ah Timur only understood at this moment that in order to lure the main force of the Ming army out of the fortress, he didn't know how many means were arranged, this is still he knows, he doesn't know, and how many?

He was excited and worried for a while, and he was excited that he estimated that it was impossible for Zhu Yong, the commander of the Ming army, to stop the pursuit.

What I'm worried about is that if Cheng Guogong pursues him, will they be able to defeat the Beijing camp?

It was the strongest army in decades across the grasslands.
