Chapter 309: Bloody Battle Chapter Yimen (2)

The Great Army of Warat is in a large array.

After a total of 70,000 Warat iron cavalry on the three roads charged with all their might, he also led the remaining 150,000 troops to hold down the position and watch the battle in the Chinese army.

Among the 70,000 troops attacking this time, 30,000 soldiers and horses in the middle were also transferred by the first department, while the 40,000 soldiers and horses attacking the left and right flanks of Liu Juntao's camp were the troops of the Great Khan.

After all, the army in the middle needs to storm the front of the Ming army's defense line, although it needs to use fewer troops, but the casualties of the army will definitely be very large.

This is also an intention to use the hands of the Ming army to consume the strength of the first.

However, what made Tokhtar not understand was that he did not strongly oppose it at first, but symbolically insisted on it, and then agreed to send troops to attack the middle of the Ming army by himself.

At this time, the battle had begun, and he and Tokhtar were all looking at the battlefield in the distance intently, only to see that the 30,000 Walar iron cavalry in the middle had charged at full speed, and entered the range of 100 steps in front of the Ming army's defense line, and immediately divided into two teams, left and right, and rode and shot in front of the Ming army.

At the same time, the two battalions of Zhang Xiaojun and Chen Ziping's birds also relied on the horse wall and began to shoot in turns, and the violent roar of birds was rhythmic and constantly sounded on the battlefield.

Like a storm, buckshot swept towards the Warat army a hundred paces away, and immediately stirred up a burst of scarlet in the Warat army.

Not to be outdone, the Varat army roared and rained down on the barricades, snapping at the horses, but the thousands of bird-stalkers were still unharmed.

The Wara army is equipped with riding bows, the range is not far, and it can shoot a hundred steps away with the help of the momentum of the high-speed charge of the war horse, and when it is near the horse wall, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, even if some arrows hit the Ming soldiers, they can't penetrate the double armor worn by the soldiers!

Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of Ye Xian and Totobu were very solemn, especially Ye Xian, whose brows were almost wrinkled together, as if they were thinking about a way to break through the Ming army's defense line.

And Totobuhua also looked at the battlefield on both wings, obviously seeing the flames of war on the battlefield in the middle lane, and the casualties of the first division increased sharply, and he was a little worried that the casualties of his soldiers and horses were too large.

I saw that the two wings of Liu Juntao's battalion were also constantly roaring, and there were also a lot of earth-shattering thunder roars.

Although Liu Juntao did not arrange trenches and horse rejection and horse blocking walls on both flanks of the battalion, he pulled most of the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots of the whole army over and deployed them all on the two flanks of the battalion, forming two airtight chariot defense lines!

The thousands of bird guns and hundreds of thunder throwers in Gao Ran's department and Sun Xu's department all relied on the Wuhan Iron and Steel chariot to shoot volleys to kill the rushing Warat iron cavalry.

These Wuhan Iron and Steel chariots were also bound with a lot of short spears on the outward side, which could effectively prevent the collision of the Varat Iron and Horse and protect the bird's hand from firing a safe volley.

The 40,000 Wirat iron cavalry on the battlefield on both flanks were all soldiers and horses under the command of Detached Buhua, and at this time, like the battlefield in the middle, they were completely caught in a bitter battle.

How can such a result make Tokoff not satisfied, and he was immediately furious, and glared at Ye Xian fiercely.

"First too! He must have known that the two wings of the Ming army were as difficult to fight as the front, so he took retreat as advance and deceived me into dispatching 40,000 troops, while he himself only dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses, he was deliberately consuming the strength of my Khan Court! ”

The face of the detachment is very ugly, although the heart is depressed, but at this time the war has started, and it can only be fought hard.

Suddenly, he also said in a deep voice: "Great Khan! It's time for the warriors to go into battle! ”

Hearing this, he gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "That's good!" We have 10,000 warriors everywhere! ”

He didn't look at it at all, and said directly: "Okay! Dispatch troops! ”

Just when he was thinking about it, Liu Juntao also looked at the battlefield in the distance with a solemn face.

For Liu Juntao's soldiers, the situation on the battlefield at this time is still very favorable, but this is not static.

Especially when the herald on the lookout cart issued a warning and signaled the Warat army to increase the number of troops by 20,000 towards the middle road, Liu Juntao's heart was even tighter.

The 20,000 troops in the middle of Warat's reinforcements were not iron cavalry troops, but foot soldiers who all gave up their horses!

These Vara foot soldiers were all equipped with heavy iron-inlaid shields, and even pushed more than a hundred heavy shield carts to form a huge phalanx, pressing towards the Ming defense line step by step.

Moreover, the 20,000 varat army was carrying countless sandbags, and it seemed that they were ready to fill the trenches!

Liu Juntao sneered, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that these Mongolian Tatars will also be Manchu!" ”

After that, Liu Juntao gave an order, and at the same time, the defenders of Zhangyimen concentrated all the artillery at the head of the city, bombarded the 20,000 Whara army with the most fierce firepower, and mainly concentrated on destroying those heavy shield cars!

After a while, more than 20 artillery pieces on the head of Zhangyimen City roared again, and the fierce artillery fire instantly poured into the 20,000 watts phalanx, destroying nine shield cars in just one wave of bombardment, which can be described as extremely accurate.

The accuracy of the artillery on Zhang Yimen's door also opened Liu Juntao's eyes and exclaimed; "I didn't expect there to be such a strong gunner in the garrison of the capital!"

As soon as the words fell, another wave of shelling began, and the Warat phalanx, which was already less than two hundred paces away from the trench, was hit fiercely again, this time eleven more shield carts were destroyed, and even more than two hundred Warat soldiers around were hit by flying sawdust, and fell to the ground with a scream covered in blood, and for a time there was chaos in the Warat array.

The more than 20,000 Walarat iron cavalry who were riding and shooting outside the Ming army's defense line had retreated at this time, after all, after a long time of riding and shooting, not only the rider could not hold on, but even the war horse was exhausted and had to find time to recover his strength.

Liu Juntao saw that the 20,000 Wharat army had rushed to the trench and was about to fill the trench, so he ordered the bird gunners to open fire immediately.

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

At this time, the artillery on the Zhangyi Gate still did not stop, and the Ming army's firearm array also opened fire again, and the 20,000 Worat army that was filling the trench was suddenly hit hard!

Although dozens of shield wagons were blocked on the side of the trench, which could protect a section of the trench for the Wara soldiers to fill, most of the trenches had to be protected by shields, otherwise those Warat soldiers could only be used as targets for the Ming army to practice.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojun, who was commanding the battle in front of the battle, looked ahead, only to see countless Warat soldiers howling and rushing up, throwing countless sandbags into the trench, and then turning around and running back, but about a third of them couldn't run back at all, and before they could even throw the sandbags into the trench, they were shot and killed on the spot by the bird gunners.

Zhang Xiaojun took a look and found that many places in the trench were not filled with sandbags, but were filled with the corpses of Warat soldiers!

Moreover, the shield wagons of the Warat army were also very obstructive, not only providing cover for the Tartar soldiers, but also blocking the bird's shooting vision.

So, Zhang Xiaojun ordered the thunderers to attack, ready to blow up those shield carts, but was stopped by the praise painting of the army.

"Command! There are quite a lot of shield cars, and there are Tartar soldiers and horses all around, and the soldiers rushed forward not only suffered a lot of casualties, but also blew up a few of them, so let the soldiers hold the line! ”

Zhang Xiaojun also nodded when he heard this, and ordered all units to stick to the defense line against the enemy.

The two sides fought until noon, and the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of artillery and firecrackers, and the roars of soldiers on both sides continued.

At this time, about two-thirds of the trenches in the front of the defense line had been filled by the Warat army, which was concentrating its forces to destroy the horses.

Of course, the Warat army also paid a heavy price, the first 20,000 foot soldiers have suffered thousands of casualties, and the remaining 10,000 people are also broken, and many soldiers have begun to flee.

In desperation, he had to order all the more than 20,000 iron horsemen on the battlefield to dismount and help in the battle, which stabilized the battle situation.

The battle on both flanks of the battlefield was also fierce, Gao Ran and Sun Xu's troops fought to the death, and the soldiers of the two battalions had begun to fight with the Warat army shirtless and bloody.

Under the continuous blows of the two battalions of birds, the two wings of the Warat army also paid the price of thousands of people, and then began to charge with shields, and finally killed the front, and began to fight with the two battalions of long swordsmen.

Liu Juntao's face did not change when he heard the news, but he just ordered Gao Ran and Sun Xu to fight to the end, while he did not move and continued to stare at the situation on the battlefield in the middle.
