The distance between the two sides is more than 100 steps, and with one charge, the Ming army can shoot two rounds of arrows at most, relying on the shield of the small round shield, and the casualties are controllable.

The Tartars quickly organized a full-army charge.

When these more than 800 Tartars held a scimitar in one hand and a small round shield in the other, they roared the bird language that Wu Zheng couldn't understand, and began to charge.

Wu Zheng smiled, waiting for you to charge, waiting for your whole army to charge.

Wu Zheng didn't fancy the three hundred Tartars before, just for now.

Wu Zheng's hand began to rise.

When the front of the Tartar charge formation crossed the ridge, Wu Zheng's hand swung down vigorously.

"Chirp", "tweet", "tweet" .......

Hearing the sound, the Tartar shrunk as much as he could, reducing the area hit by the arrow.

But their charge did not stop in the slightest.

But they didn't look up to see that the arrows shot by the Ming army this time were a little different from the previous arrows.

In the previous shooting, the Ming army aimed and fired directly.

But now it's diffuse.

Diffuse, that is, shooting the arrow diagonally into the air, in a parabolic way, to increase the range, but the accuracy will be reduced.

But since it is to increase the firing range, this shows that the target of the Ming army is not the Tartar soldiers, but the middle and tail positions of the Tartar formation...... Straw stacks.

The straw stack is high and large, and the target is so big that it is naturally easy to shoot.

If you can shoot, you can also call it a point.

If you can point it, it will naturally burn.

It is said that dry firewood is a fire, and it is enough to do it at one point.

The sky is blue and white, and if you add a little wind, then the dry straw will burn "whirring".

As the Tartars had predicted, the Ming army only had time to shoot two rounds of arrows.

Two rounds of arrows were enough to ignite most of the straw stacks, and even if they didn't hit, they would be ignited as quickly as they were in the wind.

The fire in the wilderness is known to everyone who has seen it, and it is moving very fast.

The Tartar charge was quickly split into two pieces, the first small part crossed the ridge, but the largest middle and tail sections were blocked in the field, the burning field.

After the Ming army finished shooting the second round of arrows, he threw away the bow in his hand, picked up the knife, and when he rushed out with a loud roar, he happened to face the small part of the tartar.

If it weren't for the burning of our own army in the field, which affected morale, the more than 500 Ming troops would have to pay a lot of price to deal with these more than 200 Tartars.

But now, these more than 200 Tartars are panicking.

Any army will panic in the face of such a situation.

This has nothing to do with whether it is elite or not, it is only about people's instinctive reactions.

When the Tartar saw the Ming army charging, his reaction was very chaotic, and he rushed forward fiercely, and fought to the death with the Ming army, and the smarter ones began to look for a way to survive left and right, and the stupid ones looked at it stupidly, but they couldn't react.

As a result, more than 200 Tartars were surrounded and annihilated by more than twice as many Ming troops.

This result was unexpected even by Wu Zheng.

It should be said that when Wu Zheng first came up with this idea, he originally planned to use arson to cut off the formation of the Tartars, and within a certain period of time, concentrate local advantages, defeat or annihilate the front of the Tartars, and then fight with the rear of the Tartars.

But later, the straw stacks ignited by the Ming army, with the help of the wind, basically covered the entire field as far as the eye could see.

When cleaning the battlefield, it was found that many of the Tartar corpses had no signs of being burned at all.

They were smoked to death.

Looking at the figure of more than 100 Tartars who turned around and fled to Pinggang Mountain, Wu Zheng gave the order to beat the water dogs.

The Ming soldiers began to pursue.

The Tartars who were burned by the smoke and fire, how could they be faster than the Ming army whose morale was booming at this time, and they were eager to kill a few more Tartars in exchange for military merits?

If it's night, you might even be able to escape by night.

But now it's daytime, more than 500 soldiers of the Ming Army, five people are staring at one person, where else can you escape?

Before they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the Tartars died one by one under the sword of the Ming army.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Chen Sheng looked at Wu Zheng's crying face and asked curiously.

Wu Zheng said to Chen Sheng depressedly: "He's X, now Lao Tzu is going bankrupt." ”

"Poof." Chen Sheng was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't tell me, my lord, I didn't kill a Tartar this time." ”

Wu Zheng said angrily: "This official didn't kill any of them. I knew that I should have let you command, and I would have taken the opportunity to kill a few, and the reward could save dozens of taels of silver. ”

Chen Sheng instantly changed his face and said: "If the adults want to save themselves, the subordinates can't control it, but they can reward their subordinates, and the adults can't save it, and the old and the young in the subordinate families are all looking forward to this reward!" ”

Wu Zheng's mouth opened wide and froze.

……。

"Buzz......."

This is not the sound of bows and arrows, but the sound of crossbow arrows.

It stands to reason that Wu Zheng would not take all his good archery skills to Pinggang Mountain.

Originally, I went just in case, but I was really not sure that the Tartars would definitely come from Pinggang Mountain.

Naturally, good archery skills should be left in the Three Realms.

But Shen Zhiyuan's occasional flash of inspiration, and the combat strategy he came up with was indeed very appetizing to Wu Zheng.

Naturally, there is a risk, after all, it has not been overloaded beforehand.

There is no guarantee that the Tartars' horses will be delayed because of this.

It was only tested with the cavalry battalion under Wu Zheng's command, and it was found that it did have the effect of slowing down the speed of the war horse.

But Wu Zheng thought that even eating could choke people to death, and on the battlefield, it was normal to take some risks.

The battle plan that Shen Zhiyuan came up with with patted his head, after being perfected and modified by Wu Zheng, Wei Wenhai, Liao Zhongping and others, its core has changed, and it is no longer proposed by Shen Zhiyuan, after delaying the Tartar cavalry, to use a spear formation against the enemy, but to replace it with Shen Zhiyuan and Zhou Dahu's troops to charge, attract the middle and rear of the Tartars, and reduce the strength of the Tartars on both wings.

Because of the magnet area of Sanzhang, it cannot accommodate the Tartar Thousand Horses.

Moreover, the magnet does not obey the orders of people, and it only works in the middle of the Tartar formation if it lets go of the Tartar striker.

Once the advance is stagnant, the cavalry in the middle and rear of the Tartars will react quickly, and will inevitably spread out to the two flanks, and then encircle the Ming army on the left and right.

Only by sending a powerful part to attract the Tartars, let the Tartars think that the Ming army was using this ambush in order to launch a counter-charge.

In this way, there will be a part of the rear army Tartars, which will not turn to the sides to resist the Ming army breaking through the rear after killing the confused forward.

In this way, the number of Tartars in the encirclement of Qian Qiaogong's department can be controlled, and the Qian Qiaogong department can be surrounded without being annihilated.

Because Qian Qiaogong's department was not holding a spear, but a knife and a shield.

With Qian Qiaogong's dozens of Ming troops being knocked away by Tartar war horses.

"Buzz......." The real killer feature of the Ming army reveals the face of a baboon.

A distance of 100 paces, hundreds of crossbowmen, waiting for this moment.

These hundreds of crossbowmen were all recruits just replenished by Wei Wenyuan and Liao Zhongping, and they had been trained for three or four days in a row.

This kind of recruit who has just put down his hoe, that is a group of rookies, let them charge into battle, it's a joke.
