Chapter 38: The Battle of Jingdong

Because Si Renfa found that before the Ming army could do anything, the toast under his command was already in chaos.

Without him, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty is by no means comparable to Luchuan.

Even if he defeated Mu Ang and chased three hundred miles. Killed several generals of the Ming army, but in the hearts of these Tusi, they were still strong and weak.

But the support of these toasts is very important to Luchuanlai.

After all, for Da Ming, it makes no difference whether these toasts are or not, but for Lu Chuan, if you want to defeat Da Ming, you must win over all the forces that can be co-opted.

Only victory after victory can change the perception of these toasts. When they felt that although the Ming Dynasty was strong, Luchuan was not weaker than the Ming Dynasty.

That's how they can really help.

Therefore, in this battle, he can't hide or retreat.

Because as soon as he dodged and retreated, these toasts around him would immediately turn against him.

So, this battle is a battle of faith.

Si Renfa immediately ordered a group of men and horses to be left to guard the Ming army in Jingdong City. The rest of the Luchuan men and horses all went out of the camp and lined up, and they were going to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in the south of Wuliang Mountain.

In this way, the Ming army was all red flags, every soldier was wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket, and more than 10,000 cavalry were waiting for him. Each of the soldiers sat on the grass under the horse, took out the bamboo tube, took a sip of it, and held it in his mouth, not drinking, but only moistening his throat.

Then put the strip of meat in your hand and stuff it into your mouth.

Chewing hard.

These dried meats are hard and hard, they are simply knocking teeth, and there is no trace of taste at all, but everyone knows that this battle must be a hard battle.

I don't know when the next meal will be, and I don't even know if there will be a chance to eat the next meal.

So try your best to eat more, but you can't eat too much, because if you eat too much, you will fight for a while, which will affect your performance.

So they can only eat as if they were snacks, before the big war, wait a little and eat a little, wait a little and eat a little.

From this point, it can be seen that the 30,000 elite men and horses selected by Meng Ying are all elite veterans who have fought with the Mongols on the nine sides.

There's a good smell of time.

If you let the recruits come, they don't know what to do.

Meng Ying put up a pergola and watched the Luchuan army come out of the camp and line up. Immediately smiled lightly and said, "It seems that the people of Luchuan are really looking down at me Meng someone." ”

"Dare to go out of camp in front of me."

Meng Ying turned over and got on the horse, pulled out the knife in his hand, and held it high above his head.

Almost with a brush, all the cavalry got on their horses, Shi Jing held high Meng Ying's general flag, and just behind Meng Ying, the guards of the Qianqing Palace brought by Shi Jing, as well as the children of the Meng family behind Meng Jun, all gathered around Meng Ying.

Meng Ying's long knife slowly slashed down.

Shi Jing suddenly raised the flag high and spun around in the air,

Point due south. Countless cavalry shouted: "Tiger, tiger, tiger." ”

Immediately, Meng Ying took the lead and rushed down.

Of course, Meng Ying's own soldiers all rushed in front of Meng Ying.

More than 10,000 cavalry divided into several roads and rushed down.

The Luchuan army, which was leaving the camp, was suddenly a little confused.

But Si Renfa is also a veteran, and before he gave the order, he naturally had considered it, so the elephant soldiers rushed out.

It was like a bunker, lined up in front of the army, and each war elephant had four or five people on it, either with spears or bows and arrows, relying on this elephant wall to resist the attack of the Ming army.

After Mu Ying used a fire gun to break the elephant soldiers.

The people of Luchuan know that the elephant soldiers are not very reliable for attacking. But Si Renfa just wanted to use the elephant soldiers to resist for a while at the moment.

Come to think of it, these cavalry did not have artillery.

And these elephants are also specially trained. It is impossible for ordinary firecrackers to alarm them.

In Si Renfa, this plan is absolutely impeccable.

But this is too underestimating Meng Ying.

Meng Ying also guarded in Annan Town, so she naturally knew what an elephant soldier was.

Therefore, Meng Ying gave an order, and the cavalry of the brigade rushed forward, and bows and arrows shot like rain.

You must know that there were a large number of Mongols among the cavalry of the Ming army. For example, Mao Rui, who was used by Meng Ying as his left and right hand this time, is a Mongolian.

Therefore, the Ming army's kung fu in cavalry and archery was no worse than that of the Mongols.

This is especially true for the children of the Meng family. Although not everyone can kill two birds with one stone like Meng Yuan. But the kung fu of riding and archery is definitely not bad.

Therefore, he shot at these elephant soldiers, but with a single round of arrows, most of the elephants were knocked to the ground.

Without the protection of these elephant soldiers, the Ming cavalry approached the elephant soldiers again, and there was something like a hammer, aimed at the elephant, and suddenly a roaring sound came.

This is nothing else, it is the three-eyed firearm commonly used by the border army.

The three-eyed fire bolt hit the elephant three times in a row.

But these elephants were really specially trained, and when they heard the explosion, they were a little irritable. But there was no confusion, and there was no backlash.

Immediately, batches of three-eyed firearms from the Ming army bombarded up.

The elephants, which were not driven by the elephants, began to become confused, some of the elephants were provoked and rushed over, and some of the elephants were frightened and began to retreat.

Meng Ying said suddenly: "The time has come." ”

Although at this frequency, the Three-Eyed Fire Gun will definitely not be able to support these elephants after a few more rounds.

But time is not on Meng Ying's side.

Now the formation of the Luchuan army will not be completed. Attacking in this way, you will get twice the result with half the effort, but wait a little longer, if you wait for the Luchuan army to line up and attack again, sure enough, the victory is certain, but the casualties will be large.

Meng Ying no longer hesitated and ordered to rush

It's over.

As soon as the military order was given, the cavalry of all departments did not dare to hesitate. Immediately rushed down, but an elephant is an elephant, only one elephant rushed over, with a flick of his long trunk, and immediately overturned several cavalrymen.

Suddenly, a general rushed over. He drew his bow and galloped away at the elephant, leaning over his shoulder, loosening the bowstring in his hand, and the long arrow almost went into the elephant's eye.

The arrow sank into the elephant's eye.

The elephant hissed, fell to its knees on the ground with its forefeet, and with a wail, it was already dying.

The morale of the Ming army was suddenly in a big array, and the warriors in the army stepped forward one after another, killing the elephants by various methods. No matter how big the elephant is, the animal is the animal, and without the protection of the elephant soldiers, it is not impossible to hunt the elephant.

Of course, there were also many Ming soldiers who died.

Elephants are extremely intelligent animals, and when they saw that their companions were dying in battle, they immediately turned around and ran backwards.

Meng Ying was overjoyed and said: "What a Guo Deng, he really lives up to the reputation of Marquis Wuding." ”

Guo Dengnai is the person brought out of Beijing by Meng Ying after Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.

However, this time is not the time to talk about this, Meng Ying led the cavalry to drive the war elephants to attack the Luchuan battle array.

Ren Sifa was in a hurry, and immediately ordered the firearms on the front line to fire, and for a while I don't know how many firearms were fired, and for a while these elephants were driven away.

As soon as Meng Ying heard the sound of this firearm, she knew that it was the standard firearm of the Ming army, and scolded secretly in her heart: "Mu Ang should die." ”

If it weren't for Mu Ang's defeat, where would there be so many firearms in the Luchuan army. After all, firearms in this era are all high-tech weapons, and Luchuan will never make them.

But Meng Ying is even faster. There is not a hint of sluggishness.

The reason is very simple, Meng Ying gambled that the Luchuan army was not familiar with firearms drills, and when dealing with cavalry, it was necessary to continuously output firepower. But this kind of ability is only available in the Beijing camp, and the Shenji Battalion has this ability.

It's definitely not something that these Luchuan savages can do when they just come into contact with firearms.

Most likely, they will empty all the firearms in one go, and there will be a good gap before the next wave is launched.

Even many armies of the Ming army have this problem.

Meng Ying couldn't be more clear.

And Meng Ying really made the right bet.

When the cavalry of the Ming army broke through the smoke and entered the Luchuan army, the Luchuan army did not react at all. The cavalry of the Ming army was divided into several teams, and they wanted to divide the Luchuan army into several pieces in one go.

In terms of numbers, it is clear that the Luchuan army occupies an absolute advantage, but the Luchuan army has a feeling of being surrounded.

Luchuan was shaken.

Meng Ying pressed it even harder, and for a while, the two armies fought one after another.

Si Renfa didn't care about anything else at the moment, personally supervised the battle, and sent all the children of the Si family out, so he must stabilize his position.
