Bloody battle
Lin Dan Khan's cavalry couldn't shoot all the arrows in their hands and couldn't do anything with the steel armor heavy cavalry, on the contrary, Wang Zezhi's light cavalry following behind the steel armor heavy cavalry caused great damage to them.
This is not over, when the steel-armored heavy rider smashed into the cavalry array of Lin Dan Khan with a long knife, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and began a massacre.
However, Lin Dan Khan's cavalry was significantly larger, and soon, the momentum of the cavalry on both sides weakened and fell into a stalemate.
"Infantry shield soldiers and musketeers protect the artillery battalion, and do everything possible to push the artillery closer to Lao Tzu and bombard their rear."
Lin Dan Khan's cavalry was far more numerous than Wang Zezhi's.
Wang Zezhi saw that the light cavalry was constantly losing, and he was distressed.
The foot soldiers built a bridge and pushed the artillery forward through the trench.
The firecrackers are on guard to protect them.
Lin Dan Khan raised his monocular and saw this scene, and immediately felt bad.
"Send a thousand cavalry, attack their artillery, be fast, don't let them advance."
Lin Dan Khan knew that Wang Zezhi must not be allowed to advance the artillery to a mile.
If the artillery reached this distance, his cavalry would definitely not be able to withstand the artillery bombardment and would collapse.
However, Lin Dan Khan never thought of it.
Their bows and arrows, combined with the speed of their horses, still didn't have the same range as Lumi's.
Just as the thousand cavalry charged towards the artillery position, the musketeers immediately aimed and began a three-stage attack.
The thousand cavalry had already broken up before they could reach the distance of the bow and arrows, and they did not know where they had gone.
"Boom~"
The artillery reached the designated position and began to bombard the rear of the cavalry of Lindan Khan.
Lin Dan Khan's cavalry array was suddenly in chaos, and the steel-armored heavy cavalry saw this opportunity and rushed out with the light cavalry.
After the cavalry got out of the trap, the artillery battalion fired a few shells sporadically, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield and retreated to the camp.
Wang Zezhi thought that Lin Dan Khan had been repulsed, but where did he think that Lin Dan Khan did not rest for a moment, and immediately ordered the cavalry to charge again towards his position.
The artillery was still in the cool-down period and could not be used for the time being, and Lin Dan Khan saw this point and decisively ordered an attack.
The firecrackers lost a lot of losses, lost their original power, and were directly broken through the trench position by them.
In addition, Lin Dan Khan's cavalry also brought bags of earth to fill in the trenches.
On Wang Zezhi's side, the fire guns, infantry and shield soldiers, cavalry, Tartar soldiers, and temporary soldiers all went into battle and fought a tragic flesh-and-earth battle with Lin Dan Khan's soldiers and horses.
Because Lin Dan Khan first poisoned the enemy, and then used children and old people to charge into battle, the soldiers of each battalion hated the same enemy, and even if the blood of the killing was like a river, they did not retreat a step.
From the afternoon to the evening, Lin Dan Khan's fierce offensive did not stop.
Wang Ze's heart was awe-inspiring, he didn't expect Lin Dan Khan to have such a great determination and would fight him to the death.
Wang Zezhi looked at the battlefield in the distance, and suddenly a lot of fire appeared in Lin Dan Khan's array.
A loud thunderous sound sounded, and some Tartars pushed carts of rockets and launched a strong attack on Wang Zezhi's camp.
Wang Zezhi raised the binoculars and finally saw the appearance of the thing clearly by the light of the fire on the battlefield.
This is a kind of rocket chariot, its wood carved dragon head is mounted on the head, under the dragon head, on both sides of the dragon's tail, each with a half-kilogram powder keg, the four rocket fuses are gathered together, and connected with the rocket fuse in the belly of the fire dragon.
The Tartars ignited the rockets, and the arrows flew into the air, and then the rockets descended from the sky to the target.
The sergeants under Wang Zezhi did not notice for a while and suffered heavy losses.
Seeing this, Lin Dan Khan's footmen immediately tore open a hole and rushed up.
Seeing this, the steel-armored heavy cavalry immediately dismounted and went up, dressed in heavy armor with amazing defensive power, wielding the long knives in their hands and slashing continuously.
The scimitars slashed at the steel armor and did no damage to them, except for a few sparks. Let's do it
On the other hand, the steel-armored heavy riders quickly advanced and pressed hard.
The steel-armored heavy cavalry was at the front, and the light cavalry behind them immediately bent their bows and arrows, and carried out a rain of arrows on the Tartar soldiers who rushed up.
Just as the Tartar infantry retreated, there was a clanging sound behind them.
I saw hundreds of square iron shields being carried by several tall and strong tartars, and pressed up again towards Wang Zezhi's position.
These iron shields were the hole cards of the two winged commanders, Tashhai, and they were one of the best shields he had.
The light horsemen's arrows struck the shield and did no damage to the tartars behind the shield.
Seeing this, Wang Zezhi's eyes froze, and he immediately ordered: "Order the artillery battalion to bombard the enemy's shield array and rocket car." ”
"Order."
The herald received the order and immediately went down to give the order.
A moment later, the roar of artillery was heard.
Whether it was the enemy's rocket car formation or the big iron shield array, under the bombardment of artillery, it fell apart in a few breaths, and it did not form a formation.
One cannon after another hit the rocket car, which was directly blasted into smithereens.
As for the big iron shields, they were not shattered because they were heavy and thick.
However, if the iron shield is hit by a cannonball, it will fall to the ground instantly, which does not mean that the iron shield is not strong enough.
But the iron shield was too strong, and the Tartars carrying the iron shield were shocked by the momentum of the cannonballs.
Even if they didn't fly out, they were cracked by the bones of the shock's hand and pressed down by the iron shield.
The sergeants in the camp breathed a sigh of relief, and somebody shouted, "Kill the enemy, take military merit!" ”
The sergeants in the camp were suddenly in high spirits and rushed forward without fear of death.
The Steel-clad Heavy Cavalry and Infantry Men were in front, and the Guncorps was behind them aiming and firing their cold guns.
Light horsemen with bows and arrows formed an array, constantly raining arrows and striking at the Tartars who rushed up.
The light horsemen who shot the arrows drew their swords and stepped forward to fight in close combat, and began to fight in the flesh.
At this moment, this is not only the case of the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but also the temporary soldiers of the Tumut Division, the Ordos Division, and the Mongolian Zhen Division.
The trenches had been filled in by Lin Dan Khan's soldiers, and the barbed wire had long since been knocked down by them and trampled into the dirt of the steppe.
However, a new line of defense was formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was a death position composed of steel-armored heavy cavalry and infantry shield soldiers, supplemented by other troops.
But there is only one way for any Tartar who rushes into front of this wall, and that is death.
The soldiers on both sides come and go, and they continue to fight and fight at the end of their lives.
Not only did the Tartar soldiers die here, but also many of Wang Zezhi's subordinates died here.
Gradually, the color of the steel armor heavy rider changed from cold white to black red.
It was the blood of the soldiers on both sides that was splashed layer by layer and coagulated.
The armor on the steel armor was too heavy, and slowly they couldn't move forward.
Just stood there, lined up in a line, and slashed the invading Tartar soldiers one after another in front of them.
The corpses of the Tartars piled up in front of them, forming a low wall of flesh and blood.
Seeing that nothing could be done, the Tartars retreated like a tide.
The foot soldiers of the Tartars retreated, but the steel-armored heavy cavalry at the front did not.
The shield-men who followed them did not retreat, for they knew that the battle was far from over.
