Chapter 774: The Decisive Battle

The next day dawned.

One by one, the balls flew into the air.

Fang Jifan sat on the flying ball, and he had to admire Zhang Mao's bravery.

This guy was quite honest at first, he was extremely cautious before, so many military forts outside were attacked by the Tatars, he was unmoved, and never gave the Tatars a chance, but today......

Three hundred flying balls, slowly soaring into the air, and then, straight up to the clouds.

The Tatars, who were miles away, apparently seeing this, became vigilant, but ...... Obviously, Fang Jifan didn't have any interest in attacking, to be honest, on top of this flying ball, it was so terrifying, there was such a rattan basket under his feet, the person was hanging in the air, and the only measure to save his life was the bulging leather jacket, as well as a few leather buckles fixed on the rattan basket, by the way, and a quilt.

In other words, once an accident occurs, whether or not you can save your life depends on the will of God.

Fang Jifan was clutching the rattan basket tightly, while Shen Ao was constantly manipulating the wind wheel.

Yang Biao happily took the rope.

The rattan basket was a bit heavy, loaded with five packets of explosives and a dozen cans of kerosene.

The Tatars on the ground were obviously a little panicked, they had not very good memories of flying balls.

At this time, Datong's gate opened, and first countless cavalry, swarming out, they chased the flying ball, divided into two wings, and began to assemble.

Then, there is a large number of convoys, loaded with a large number of rolling logs, these woods, there is a tenon groove in the middle, and other woods, also have tenons, so that in case of emergency, the logs can be immediately loaded together, set up a rejection horse.

The mighty foot soldiers, the front of the convoy, the sword players behind, and then the spearmen and the mighty fire battalion.

After that, the new artillery was also pulled out with difficulty by men and horses.

Zhang Mao rode out on horseback, and was guarded by many generals and personal soldiers, Zhang Mao seemed a little nervous, and the Ming Dynasty rarely had a tradition of going directly to battle and fighting a decisive battle with the Tatars in the wilderness.

Especially after the change of the civil fort, most of them were cowered in the pass.

For him, it was an adventure.

An army of seventy or eighty thousand poured out.

As soon as they sent out their troops, the gate behind them immediately closed.

Zhang Mao ordered: "Forward!" ”

The herald on the side waved the order flag, and began to wander away, giving orders.

The two wings of the Ming army began to spread, and under the left and right arches of the cavalry, they marched forward in a mighty way.

Countless soldiers were nervous with white breath in their mouths, and many of them stepped out of the pass for the first time, and they saw in the distance, the Tatar rangers, like hungry wolves, staring at them, as if they were about to jump up at any moment and bite their throats.

The flying ball in the sky gave them some courage, but this courage was limited after all.

The army marched all the way north, for several miles.

The Tatars, on the other hand, hesitated, and their rangers kept their distance, constantly observing the vicinity.

Occasionally, there were also Ming cavalry in groups of three or five charging towards the lone ranger, and they immediately turned their horses and left.

In this endless wilderness, there was a lot of noise, but the Tatars showed remarkable restraint.

The Ming army moved forward, and they began to retreat slowly, although this process showed doubts, but ...... But it's still extremely fast.

…………

At this time, Yanda Khan was hesitant.

The Ming army attacked.

It couldn't be a better time.

This time he went south, and to a certain extent, Yanda Khan was also forced to live, and he couldn't live anymore.

If you don't grab a little more things, when it comes to winter, you will really starve to death.

But...... He knew the horror of the flying ball, the terrible psychological shadow that the canister of fire oil had brought to too many Tatars.

It's just that now he is hard-headed, but he doesn't dare to attack the city rashly, because if he wants to concentrate his forces to attack the city, he will inevitably be attacked by that damn canister of kerosene, with a towering wall in front of him and fire oil on top, and the losses must be huge.

But the question is, have you been sitting here all along?

If you don't attack Datong and don't loot anything to go back, what will you do?

He seemed extremely anxious, but like Zhang Mao, he seemed extremely patient.

It's like a master against each other, although they are constantly tempting, they will never show each other their flaws.

It's just that......

The Ming army went out of the city.

Many Tatars cheered.

But Yanda Khan's brows furrowed even tighter.

The Ming army is crazy?

No way!

The only possibility is that the other party has something to rely on.

Hit?

If you don't fight, once this excellent opportunity is missed, this trip will be in vain, if the Ming army continues to clear the wilderness, so drag on, and when winter comes, everything will be over.

But if it is hit, the flying ball in the sky ......

A group of leaders had surrounded Yanda Khan in the middle.

These days, they have been holding their breath for a while.

Everyone is gossiping, but they all want to fight.

Seeing the Great Khan's hesitation, everyone couldn't help but be discouraged.

"If the Ming army doesn't fight any of them, then why should we go south, why might we go home and herd sheep."

"The Great Khan is a blessing from the heavens, and the flying ball is certainly powerful, but last time, the reason why we suffered a loss was because our tent was easy to ignite and ignite, and it was at night, and the soldiers were frightened. This fire jar, what's the big deal, as long as we brave this fire oil to rush over and defeat this Ming army, this Datong will be regarded as taken, if we can enter the customs, it will be like entering the realm of no one...... When the time comes, there will be women and food ......"

Yanda Khan's face was cloudy: "Tank of oil ...... It's horrible, it's just ...... It's just that...... What if the Ming army was not defeated in an emergency? ”

He was worried.

"Don't worry, the Great Khan dares to fight with us in the field, what are we afraid of, if we withdraw again, we are only afraid...... I'm just afraid ......"

A cold glint flashed in Yanda Khan's eyes.

Yes, in the desert, those who are in high positions are the brave.

He unified the desert, so that he became the great khan blessed by the Tatars in the eyes of the Tatars, if he faced the Ming army that went to war, and did not dare to fight, how would the clansmen think of themselves.

He gritted his teeth: "It's true that in the daytime, at most it will cause some casualties, and it is not enough to gather troops and horses......"

Woowoo......

Trumpets and trumpets.

Countless Tatars began to assemble.

This black cavalry is almost all the strength of the Tatars.

The Tatars who had been scattered in this radius of dozens of miles before obeyed the call, and like a snowball, they began to condense continuously.

Eventually, the snowball grew bigger and denser.

At the front, the Ming army had already begun to set up a chariot formation and reject horses.

If you want to break through the Ming army's car formation, the only way is to attack it in a dense formation, otherwise, the scattered cavalry is almost no different from delivering food.

This is why Yanda Khan is worried.

Because of the dense charge, it just gives the fire oil tank a chance.

But at this point, even if it was a huge casualty, the Ming army in front of him was in front of him, and Yanda Khan had to fight to the death.

This is all their own capital, if this capital is lost, there will be no ten or twenty years, in the desert, it will be impossible to gather such a large scale of cavalry.

He took a deep breath.

It was noon.

The Ming army's car formation had already been arranged.

Zhang Mao rode a horse, took his own soldiers, and arrived behind the car formation.

He shouted: "The Chinese army is the backbone, come with Lao Tzu!" ”

A loud roar.

Countless pro-soldiers surrounded Zhang Mao behind the shield behind the convoy.

This was the position where the Tatars attacked most heavily.

It was also the easiest to be broken by the Tatars.

As the coach, Zhang Mao should not have come here, but Zhang Mao knew better than anyone that the impact of the Tatar cavalry was too terrible.

Ordinary soldiers, once they were torn out by the Tatars here, the entire chariot formation would be instantly crushed.

And I came here in person because the personal soldiers who protected the commander were almost all the elite of the Ming army.

Where you are, your own soldiers will be there, and you can also inspire the three armies by taking these personal soldiers to fight to the death here.

"Hang out the banner of Lao Tzu, pass the order, and cut those who take a step back!"

He shouted and glanced back at the generals: "Today's battle is related to the death of countless soldiers and civilians within the wall, and it is also related to the safety of the Beijing Division. Among you, I think there are a lot, and your fathers and ancestors will follow the old man's fathers and grandfathers, and our fathers and ancestors were together, fighting side by side, living and dying together, and today, the old man and you are the same. Lao Tzu wants you all to live, but ...... Even if it is a job, it should be a job above board, a job with a chest up. Instead of stealing a life and dishonoring the ancestors! Everyone, cherish and encourage! ”

The generals were silent.

In fact, at first, many people complained that Zhang Mao went out of the city.

The Ming army went out of the city, and the risk was too great.

But now, they all took a deep look at Zhang Mao.

The generals who were invincible at the beginning have long since passed away, and the children and grandchildren who left behind, some of whom are unscrupulous, some who are greedy for power, and many more have long been mediocre.

They still occupy high positions.

And now, to this day, it seems that the heroic spirits of the ancestors are attached to them at this moment.

They don't have any complaints, they're all here, what else can they do, let's fight.

"Yes!"

Everyone should respond, and each of them led his own men and horses into his own chariot formation.

Military orders were constantly conveyed in the car formation.

Tens of thousands of Ming troops, cowering in the car formation, made the final preparations.

Zhang Mao had already led the team, to the front of the car formation, the flag was floating high, he pulled out the long knife of his father Zhang Fu, carefully rubbed the edge of the knife with his hand, looked up at the sky, countless flying balls floated.

Fang Jifan...... Look at you kid, don't hurt the old man. ”
