Thousands of Tatar cavalry kept attacking and harassing back and forth on the two flanks of the Ming army, and the two sides went back and forth to give each other arrows.

Thousands of enemy horsemen retreated and returned to Dayan Khan's main camp to accumulate horsepower. Thousands of enemy cavalry pressed on again, and after a feint, they suddenly charged towards the front of the Ming army.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Three thousand crossbowmen, immediately began to throw.

A rain of arrows was fired, dozens of enemy horses fell off their horses, and the Mongols also responded with cavalry shots.

"Javelin!"

More than 2,000 javelins were thrown with a brush, and dozens of enemy horses fell off their horses, and the Ming army was also wounded and killed several people.

"Swords and shields in formation, pikemen ready, crossbowmen shoot again!"

Thousands of Tatar cavalry rushed to the front of the battle in the blink of an eye, and were fired again by bows and arrows on the way, this time leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

The two sides were about ten paces apart, and the front army of the Ming army did not panic in the slightest, and the Tatar cavalry saw that the intimidation was ineffective, and immediately skipped in front of the formation.

The Ming crossbowmen and javelinmen immediately launched a frenzied projection while the enemy cavalry slowed down and changed direction. The Tatar cavalry panicked instantly, the formation became scattered, and finally they were directly defeated and fled.

Zhu Houzhao stood on top of the imperial car, observed the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror, and suddenly smiled: "It's another feint to lure the enemy, how can this general be fooled?" Order the front army to strictly guard the large formation and not to pursue. ”

"Mighty General Wise!" Zhang Yong, Jiang Bin and others patted their ass.

The Mongol cavalry of this year, even if they did not come out to rob, would not wear heavy armor at all.

They like to attack on both flanks, feint and lure the enemy head-on, and after breaking up the opponent's formation, they immediately carry out a three-sided counter-charge. A counter-charge was ineffective, and continued to attack and harass with cavalry, preventing the opponent from regrouping, and finally crushing the pursuing enemy in a movement battle.

The Ming Dynasty has been fighting with the Tatars for decades, and has long figured out the Mongolian tactics, and even Zhu Houzhao will not be easily fooled.

Faced with such a situation, Dayan Khan had a slight headache, the wave of feints just now, the Mongol cavalry suffered more than 300 casualties, but it did not have the slightest effect of tempting the enemy.

The Han emperor in front of him is too cautious and sophisticated!

At noon, the Mongol cavalry scattered everywhere, dismounted and ate dry food on the spot, and at the same time fed water and food to the horses. They were not far from the Ming army's main array, and as long as the Ming army dared to go out to collect arrows and javelins, they could immediately mount their horses and launch an attack.

The Ming soldiers also began to eat, this time they went south to rescue, they had already brought enough food, and they were not afraid of being cut off by the Mongols - if they couldn't tell the winner for half a month, the Ming army could withdraw to Yingzhou City nearby to replenish.

Fighting continued in the afternoon, and the casualties on both sides combined were less than three digits, which was simply negligible.

……

Twenty miles north of the battlefield and fifteen miles south of Huairen County, fighting also broke out.

The Xuanfu border generals Pang Long, Jin Ying and others, who were ordered to meet in the direction of Huairen, found that something was wrong when they were halfway through, and they actually encountered a large force of Tatar cavalry.

Pang Long chose to camp in formation, and sent the only few sentinels: "Immediately inform Your Majesty that thirty miles north of Yingzhou, there is a large number of enemy troops ambushed here!" The road from Yingzhou to Huairen had been cut off by the Tatar cavalry, but if there was a change, it was immediately withdrawn to the city of Yingzhou. ”

The Xuanfu cavalry had long been gathered under Wang Yuan's command, and there were only a few dozen horsemen sent by Pang Long and others to report the news. As soon as they left the camp, they were found and frantically intercepted by the Tartars, leaving only two or three horsemen alive to escape into the eastern mountains.

Balsu Polo also immediately sent a messenger to inform Dayan Khan: "There is a Ming army in the direction of Huairen, about 5,000 people, and my troops have been discovered. The Ming army sent sentinels to report the news, and two or three people fled into the mountains, and it was estimated that they would be able to circle Yingzhou in two days. For these Ming troops, I can leave 2,000 cavalry to guard them, and ask the Great Khan to make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Gather the leaders of the various tribes to discuss tomorrow's war!" Dayan Khan intends to spend his blood.

The next day, the wind was beautiful.

Dayan Khan left only 3,000 guards, and the remaining 40,000 cavalry were all scattered to attack in turn.

Arrows and javelins were scattered like rain, casualties on both sides increased rapidly, and the left flank of the Ming army was the first to waver. These are the troops of Xiao Lu, Shi Chun and others, they went from Datong to Pingyuwei to support, and from Pingyuwei all the way to Yingzhou, they were besieged in Yingzhou for several days, and they have not rested much for more than half a month.

Seeing that more and more enemy troops were gathering on the left flank, Wang Yuan hurriedly ordered: "The Shenji battalion and artillery team immediately support the left flank!" ”

Dayan Khan originally wanted to deceive and lure the enemy, but at this time, he felt the change in the battlefield, instantly changed his combat intentions, and personally led the team to kill: "Attack on three sides, and attack the enemy's left position with all your might!" ”

About 25,000 Tatar cavalry, under the command of Dayan Khan, took turns to ride and feint around the left flank of the Ming army.

The offensive became more and more fierce wave after wave, and the formation of the left army became more and more unstable, and Zhu Houzhao sent 2,000 people from the Chinese army, but finally did not let the left flank collapse directly.

"Kill!"

The first fierce general of Mongolia, King Ertuo, with his son Burhai, led more than 20,000 cavalry to charge. After several feints by friendly forces, taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had no time to shoot arrows and throw guns, it suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the left flank of the Ming Dynasty.

"Furlong cannon, fire at full speed!"

Twenty Furlong cannons, without waiting for the enemy to get close to the range of the crossbow, fired in a straight direction. An iron bullet is shot, and if you are lucky enough, you can shoot through several enemy horses, and the battlefield will suddenly be full of flesh and blood.

The sword and shield men in the front row of the left wing of the Ming army temporarily gave up their positions, revealing more than 6,000 firearms in the back row.

These firecrackers, in addition to the Shenji Battalion, also have troops from various border towns. was all gathered by Wang Yuan, and the previous battle had not moved, and at this moment, in the face of the large-scale charge of the Tatars, he showed his fangs.

Wang Yuan personally ran over: "Without my order, you are not allowed to fire!" ”

I was too lazy to do any three-stage shooting or five-stage shooting, and when the Mongolian cavalry ran to thirty paces away, Wang Yuan suddenly ordered: "Fire!" ”

"Boom!"

Not only did more than 6,000 firecrackers fire together, but the fifty artillery trucks (small generals' cannons) that Wang Yuan had gathered together also instantly fired scattered bullets composed of iron sand and iron sheets.

When the Tatar hussars charged with all their might, the formation was slightly denser. Thirty rifle guns and cavalry fired, directly eliminating a layer of front rows, the Tatar cavalry formation was instantly scattered, and the cavalry behind collided with the corpses of friendly soldiers.

At the same time, the left-wing crossbowmen were rewound, and another volley was fired at the moment when the sword and shield men were on top.

The first fierce general of Mongolia and the leader of the Horqin tribe, King Ertuo, who had countless pieces of iron stuck in his body because of the charge ahead, had already died thoroughly. His son, Burhai, the heir to the Korqin tribe, was also blown off an arm by a cannonball and staggered on his horse.

"Withdraw, blow the trumpet!" Dayan sweated so much that his neck was thick red.

He made a feint to attack and harass for several days, thinking that he had already forced out all the means of the Ming army. I didn't even see the firecrackers launching, and I thought that the gunpowder had run out, so how could I have thought that Wang Yuan would only use it until now?

"Whew!"

The Mongols sounded their horns, and the cavalry that charged into battle slowed down and turned, and then turned around and retreated. But there were also more than 1,000 horsemen, who really couldn't suppress the horse's momentum, and crashed headlong into the rejection of horses and carts on the left flank of the Ming army, and a few lucky Gou survived, and were also stabbed into a sieve by the Ming army's spearmen.

"The enemy army is defeated, kill with General Ben!" Zhu Houzhao jumped from the royal car, turned over and stepped onto the war horse.

Jiang Bin and Zhang Yong hurriedly rushed over, one of them saving the emperor's leg: "Your Majesty, don't pursue!" ”

"Nonsense," Zhu Houzhao was furious, "the Tatar thieves have been defeated by the whole army, if you don't chase them at this time, when will you wait?" ”

Jiang Bin said: "This is a plan by the Tartars to lure the enemy!" ”

"You lure the enemy with the lives of thousands of cavalry?" Zhu Houzhao slashed out, "Dog, let go!" ”

Jiang Bin was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand, Zhang Yong didn't dare to stop him, Zhu Houzhao obviously lost his temper, and whoever dared to persuade him again would definitely be hacked to death.

Wang Yuan was about to lead the cavalry to chase for a while, and as soon as he opened the iron rope of the car array, he saw the emperor leading five hundred heavy cavalry to rush over, and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, quickly return to the Chinese army!" ”

"The whole army is in pursuit!" Zhu Houzhao waved his knife and shouted.

Five hundred heavy cavalry rumbled forward, and friendly troops, including Wang Yuan, could only retreat one after another to dodge and dodge, and Zhu Houzhao took the lead in leading the troops to rush out of the big formation.

The emperor has rushed, how dare the soldiers not rush?

Especially those ordinary soldiers, one by one, their blood was surging, and they were completely carried away by the victory.

The large array of tens of thousands of Ming troops was scattered in an instant due to the great victory, and in the pursuit of various departments, there was a constant disconnect between the various departments.

Wang Yuan said to Pan Gui and Wei Sheng: "You bring 6,000 spears and 6,000 firearms, strictly guard the formation and advance slowly to prevent being attacked by the Tartars!" ”

"Yes!" Pan Gui took the order.

The eunuch Zhang Zhong rushed over and said to Wei Sheng, the commander of the fire guns, "Follow Your Majesty quickly." ”

"Don't panic, listen to me!" Wang Yuan said.

Zhang Zhong said: "It is important to protect Your Majesty! ”

Wang Yuan directly drew his knife: "Zhang Dugong dares to disobey military orders?" ”

Zhang Zhong suddenly shrank his neck and rode a horse to chase the emperor, he was afraid that he would be cut by Wang Yuan.

Although Zhu Houzhao was very reckless, he was not wrong this time, the Mongolian army was really defeated.

The Ming army concentrated large-scale firearms, artillery, and crossbows for short-range salvo fire, and the last time this method of warfare was used, it was the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di himself. The Mongols who had seen such a battle had already died for nearly a hundred years, how could Dayan Khan expect that the Ming army still had this hand?

The terrifying instant killing, the rumbling sound of fire, directly frightened the Tartars and the men and horses into panic.

Dayan Khan's pre-planned feint defeat has now become a real defeat, one infects the other, and he can't do it if he wants to gather his troops.

"Raise the hot air balloon and observe the enemy situation in the rear!"

Wang Yuan threw down a sentence and also pursued with five thousand light horses.

The students brought by Wang Yuan immediately raised the hot air balloon, holding horns, flags, and telescopes, and closely observed the situation in the rear.

Zhu Houzhao personally led a heavy cavalry to chase and kill for a while, hacked to death an enemy who fell off his horse, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Take off your armor and chase again!" ”

Five hundred heavy horsemen dismounted, took off their chain mail and armor, and rushed out again with the emperor.

"Kill!"

Zhu Houzhao became relaxed, holding his sword high and galloping wildly, feeling as if the soul of Taizu and Taizong was possessed.

Wang Yuan didn't dare to go too far from the emperor, and while chasing and killing hard, he observed the situation, and his main duty now was to protect the emperor's safety.

The change in the battle situation was too sudden, and Ba'er Su Polo, who was lying in ambush more than ten miles away, could not rush to the battlefield at the first time. But this is enough, he has tens of thousands of horsemen under his command, and the Ming army's formation is chaotic, as long as he comes, the Ming army can be defeated.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

The physics protégé on the hot air balloon saw Ba'er Su Polo from a long distance, and immediately blew the horn and issued a flag order for the whole army to form a team.

However, the vast majority of the Ming army troops were difficult to recover.

The Mongols fled mad, and the Ming soldiers chased madness, and the battle was a mess.

Wang Xun, the general of Datong, the veteran Zhang Hui, and the Liaodong guerrilla Xiao Lu are among the few border generals who still maintain their sanity. When they heard the trumpet, they used their clairvoyant mirrors to see the flag order, and immediately Mingjin gathered their ranks and quickly assembled to block the Tartars behind them.
