Chapter 297: Victory in the First Battle (6)

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The birds of each battalion continued to fire in volleys, and under the fire in turn, the fierce fire swept within a hundred paces in front of the car formation like a violent wind.

However, the 10,000-watt iron cavalry that rushed up this time was still charging, relying on a large number of equipped shields to continuously shorten the distance between them and the chariot formation.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao couldn't help but exclaim: "This batch of Tartar soldiers is really powerful, it seems that they are the elite soldiers and horses in this Warat army!" ”

At the same time, the officers and men of the battalions who were relying on the vehicle formation also began to suffer casualties, and those Tartar soldiers who were charging threw them with heavy axes and javelins, and many soldiers in each battalion were hit, and the casualties of each battalion began to increase.

However, in the face of the onslaught of the Tartars, the soldiers of each battalion are full of fighting spirit, and the bird gunners are still coming forward one row after another.

Soon, some of the Varat dead soldiers wearing three layers of heavy armor rushed to the front of the chariot formation, only to see the iron hooves of the Tartars trampling through the iron thistles on the ground, and swept through the two wings from thirty paces away, and threw a large number of javelins, throwing axes, iron bones and other projectile weapons into the chariot array.

This round of counterattacks by the Wara army was not without violence, and many Ming soldiers were suddenly knocked down.

I saw that the soldiers in the car formation fell one by one, and at the same time, those Varat heavy armored dead soldiers fell to the ground one by one under the fierce bird gun blows, and under such a close range of bird guns, they hit their men and horses, no matter how many layers of armor they were wearing, they were all shot and rolled off the horses.

At this time, there is no slightest skill in the battle, the armies on both sides are bleeding and dying, and now the competition is the endurance of the armies on both sides, and the test is who can't support it first!

At this moment, Liu Juntao had a gloomy face, staring closely at the battle situation in front of the car formation, this wave of battles launched by the Wara army caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers of each battalion on his side.

However, Liu Juntao can also see clearly that the casualties of the 10,000 Walar iron cavalry who launched the charge are even greater, and it is estimated that they have lost more than one-third of the losses so far, can they still fight?

At this time, the soldiers of the right battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Force, which was in the center of the car formation, were under the greatest pressure, and at the same time, the casualties were also the greatest.

Qian Zong Chang Hongdao's eyes were red and he was about to lose his mind, looking at the Varat cavalry who were charging in the distance, he was angry and roared loudly: "Volley!" Three rows of volleys! ”

"Let me go!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The two thousand and hundreds of bird-gunners of the right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard suddenly fired a salvo, and this unprecedented firepower was suddenly vented among the Warat cavalry thirty paces ahead, and with the deafening roar dispersed, another huge blood path was opened.

At this moment, the Warat soldiers and horses in the middle of the formation finally collapsed, and they no longer had the courage to continue the charge, so they left the corpses on the ground and their wounded companions, and ran towards the distance as fast as they could.

Immediately afterwards, the Warat iron cavalry on both flanks of the battlefield could not hold on, and under the guidance of the rout in the middle section, they retreated backwards one after another.

At this point, these Tartars finally admit that they have failed!

They finally understood that their proud riding and archery skills and fast horse scimitars would not work at all for the Ming troops in front.

These Wara Iron Cavalry, which was rampant in the nine-sided towns of the Ming Dynasty, no longer had the arrogance of the past, and at this time they were all pale and blind, and even the battle flags in the army were crooked at this time, and they were no longer bright.

In this charge, at least 4,000 men and horses of the 10,000 Varat Iron Cavalry were shot and killed by Liu Juntao's troops, if you count the Varat cavalry who fled with wounds, more than half of the 10,000 Varat army has been lost in this charge!

From this moment on, the vanguard officer Bahri understood in his heart that if he encountered this Ming army again in the future, he might not have the slightest intention of facing each other head-on.

But after thinking about it, fortunately, although the Ming army has sharp firearms, it seems that there are not many cavalry, and it can only rely on the chariot formation to hold on.

Suddenly, Bahri heard the sound of hooves like thunder, and the warriors beside him exclaimed one after another, and Bahri heard clearly, this was not the sound of his own rout, but a loud sound that could only be made by the neat elite iron horsemen!

Bahri looked around in horror, only to see that thousands of ironclad cavalry were chased out of the Ming army's vehicle array, and they were screaming and chasing after their side.

Zhou Zongsheng, who had just received the order to fight, was excited, charging on his horse, and roaring with his subordinates at the same time, venting the happiness in his heart.

Before, Zhou Zongsheng watched the birds, long knife hands, and thunder throwers in the camp fighting lively, and he had already itchy hands, but Liu Juntao never gave the order, so he had to wait patiently.

At this time, after Zhou Zongsheng won the order, he immediately led his three thousand iron cavalry to chase after the formation, and the galloping leader killed the Wara Zhong army.

Moreover, in order to make up for the weak strength of the iron cavalry battalion, Liu Juntao had already concentrated all the horse teams of the front battalion, left battalion, and right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard in advance, as well as the main barracks and the odd barracks of Yanzhou Mansion, and had about 1,300 soldiers, all of which were handed over to Zhou Zongsheng for unified command.

In this way, Zhou Zongsheng's command gathered more than 4,000 elite iron cavalry, driving thousands of Wara routs to the direction of the Chinese army, which frightened the vanguard officer Bahri.

Before this battle, the 30,000 Varat Iron Cavalry was ambitious and wanted to be the first to reach the city of Beijing, and won the first place in this battle.

But it backfired, Bahri and his 30,000 Warat iron cavalry met Liu Juntao, met the soldiers of the battalions in Yushan Town, and finally ran into a bloody mess of dead and wounded!

By this time, the 30,000 Varat Iron Cavalry had already suffered 13,000 or 4,000 casualties, and the remaining 16,000 or 7,000 soldiers and horses were either defeated soldiers who had fled back, or had been frightened by the Ming army.

The vanguard officer Bahri and the remaining Warat soldiers and horses have no fighting spirit for a long time, once they are mixed up with the elite iron cavalry of the Ming army with more than 4,000 morale, then everyone will definitely not be able to get out in a short time, once the main force of the Ming army's infantry catches up and carries out a flanking attack, it is needless to say what the result will be!

As soon as he thought of this, Bahri was bent on retreating, and even if he went back to the Taishi, he would punish himself first, and he would not complain any more.

In front of the large array of the Warat Chinese army, Bahri looked at the countless Warat cavalry who had retreated in despair, the appearance of the tragic rest of his life, and the huge number of casualties in each department, which suddenly made Bach colorless, and just muttered: "I am too light on the enemy!" This battle is over! ”

At this time, in the entire Warat array, the dead crows were silent, no one spoke, only an inexplicable fear spread among the crowd.

Bahri looked at the thousands of Ming army iron horsemen who were getting closer and closer, his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't dare to delay any longer at this time, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, 16,000 or 7,000 kilowatts of iron cavalry retreated northward like a tide, and the pre-war arrogance was long gone, and some were only embarrassed and frightened.

Seeing this, Zhou Zongsheng was willing to give up easily, and directly roared, leading four thousand Ming army iron cavalry to chase and kill all the way, galloping towards the north.

Liu Juntao also let out a sigh of relief when he stood on the high platform, and said secretly: "Finally won the battle!" Warat? Hum! That's it! ”

Then, Liu Juntao sent out the night to inform Zhou Zongsheng that the iron cavalry army should pursue ten miles, and don't go deep alone, after all, at this time, the main army of more than 200,000 led by the Great Khan has arrived, and everything is careful!

At the same time, because the area of Zhangyimen, where Liu Juntao's troops fought fiercely, was not far from Deshengmen, only less than ten miles, so the battle here also alarmed Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, who were stationed in the area of Deshengmen.

Since the two of them could not send reinforcements to support, they could only pray that Liu Juntao's troops and horses were not the same, hoping to repel the Warat vanguard army.

It didn't take long for Yu Qian and Shi Heng, who were looking forward to it in the camp, to find that the sound of fighting and the roar of firearms in the area of Zhangyimen gradually became smaller, and they were both surprised in their hearts.

The two were about to send someone to investigate, when they suddenly saw a team of Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks rushing into the camp at night without retracting their horses, and when they flew in front of the two of them, they dismounted, hugged their fists and said: "Report!" Our army and the 30,000 vanguard army of Warat fought fiercely in the earth city north of Zhangyimen, and it was broken! Beheaded 14,000, our army is currently pursuing the remnants of the enemy! ”
