Half an hour passed, Liu Juntao wiped the food residues from the corners of his mouth, and saw that the soldiers of each battalion had basically eaten and drunk enough and rested, so he stood on the high platform energetically and looked at the Wara army in front of him.

I saw that in the distance of the Warat army, at least thirty percent of the iron horsemen were covered with cotton armor inlaid with iron leaves, the cotton armor was nailed with thick copper nails, the red tasseled black helmet on the head was high, and the long and short weapons were immediately long.

Even some of the brave pioneers were wearing two layers of heavy armor, holding spears and halberds, and all kinds of thick and heavy short weapons were also prepared, not to mention strong bows and arrows.

Moreover, those Warat iron horsemen are all expressionless, not at all concerned about the upcoming war, these Warat soldiers and horses do not know how many battles they have experienced, and this time they are even more victorious when they go south to attack Ming, of course, they will not think that the Ming army on the opposite side is a big deal.

Liu Juntao looked forward to it, and all he saw was full of arrogant faces, as well as the thick evil in each other's eyes.

This time, the vanguard officer of Warat is one of Yexian's ten thousand commanders, Bahri, and he is Yexian's henchman.

Seeing that the Ming army occupied the advantageous terrain and the formation was tightly organized, Bahri mobilized his five commanders to prepare for the attack, while he continued to deploy troops and horses behind the Chinese army and waited for an opportunity to break the formation.

When the five commanders heard this, they all privately thought that Bahri was making a fuss, and there were only more than 20,000 Ming troops in front of them, and they even asked 5,000 iron cavalry to charge, wouldn't it be a knife to kill chickens?

You must know that the Warat army has always been overwhelming all the way, and in the eyes of these five thousand commanders, as long as three or two thousand iron horsemen rush, the more than 20,000 Ming troops in front will collapse!

However, these five commanders would not say anything, and they all seized the time to lead their soldiers and horses to make preparations quickly.

Therefore, the Warat Iron Cavalry, who were preparing to launch the first charge, were all hurrying to prepare, only to see these Tartars sorting out their heavy weapons, and their faces were even more careless, thinking that the battle that would wait for a while would definitely be a short, boring battle, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

At the same time, in addition to the 5,000 troops, Bahri continued to mobilize troops and horses, and mobilized another 20,000 troops, still with 5,000 people, ready to take turns to attack the front of Liu Juntao's car formation.

Soon, in the sound of the horn of the Warat army, the iron cavalry army slowly converged, and from Liu Juntao's side, there was a large area of ocean flags.

"These Tartars have finally been dispatched"

Liu Juntao sighed.

At the sound of the trumpets on the opposite side, the five thousand Varat Iron Riders slowly rode their horses, and at this time the Varat Iron Riders were still far away from their side, so they only controlled their horses slowly, and did not charge, so as to save their horsepower.

For Liu Juntao, this battle is the first battle of equal strength and equal strength, if he can survive this test, it will be a tempering of his army's military morale.

When the 5,000 Varat Iron Cavalry was almost a mile away from Liu Juntao's chariot formation, Liu Juntao saw that the speed of the Varat Iron Cavalry charge was gradually accelerating, and their horse team was spreading wider and left, and it seemed that there were Tartar iron cavalry everywhere in front of them, and the black pressure was full of horses and human heads, and there was a banner like a cloud, twisting desperately with the wind.

As soon as these Warat Iron Riders dispersed like this, there seemed to be a compelling momentum, overwhelmingly coming towards them. It is said that there are more than 10,000 people without borders, and the position occupied by a horse when charging into battle is as many as a few people, and thousands of cavalry charging into battle are more powerful than tens of thousands of infantry charging.

At this time, Liu Juntao heard the heavy panting of the generals beside him, he subconsciously looked at everyone, all the sergeants were waiting hard, they stared, looking straight at that side, as if they wanted to pull the Warat Iron Horse off their horses.

It is no wonder, after all, it is the first time that Liu Juntao's officers and soldiers have faced the Tartar Iron Cavalry Army, and this is also the first time that the officers and men of the Department have faced the charge of the enemy's cavalry corps in a formed formation, and it is inevitable to be nervous.

But Liu Juntao also believes that as long as the soldiers win the current battle, they can sweep away the fear in their hearts and completely trample the Tartars under their feet!

"Woo~Woo~"

There was another desolate trumpet in the midst of the army of the Varat Iron Cavalry, and suddenly the five thousand Varat Iron Cavalry quickened their horses, and suddenly the hoofs sounded like thunder, and the five thousand cavalry rushed like a flood that broke the embankment.

The Varat Iron Cavalry was menacing, and all the soldiers of the battalion could see in front of them were rolling horses, and Tartar soldiers in armor on horses. Even their arrogant and bloodthirsty expressions could be seen more clearly, and only the sound of hooves could be heard in the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, the voices of the battalions in the chariot formation sounded one after another: "Prepare for the birds!" ”

It seemed that the thousands of Qing cavalry had rushed to a hundred paces away from the chariot formation, although the 24,000 Ming troops in front of them were so calm that these Tartars were a little strange. However, this is not a problem, after defeating this Ming army, waiting for them is the pleasure of slaughter.

At this time, Liu Juntao could already see their tactics, so he pretended to attack the front of the car formation, and with horsepower, their arrow rain could cover the entire range of his car formation.

Then, the Tartar cavalry would pass from the left and right, and shoot arrows in circles around the chariot formation, a tactic that the Saiwaihu had used for thousands of years.

Liu Juntao even saw several waves of hundreds of armor-clad Warat knights flying like horses in front of him, all of them were extremely skilled in equestrianism, and they were simply arrogant to the extreme. Look at them all with bows and arrows, just wait for a few dozen more steps to start shooting.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao snorted coldly and said to the generals around him: "Today, General Ben is going to let these Tartar soldiers be wiped out in front of our army!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao gave a loud order and ordered the birds and gunners of each battalion in front of the formation to open fire.

"Bird Hands Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

After a fierce loud noise, the thick gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped the Ming army's chariot array, and the five thousand watts of iron cavalry that were charging were a terrible neighing of men and horses, like a steady son, and those charging cavalry suddenly fell in a large wave outside the chariot array dozens of steps in front of the battalions in Yushan Town.

In particular, the Warat Knights, who rushed to the front rows of the formation, were swept away by the fierce volley of firearms!

Liu Juntao was excited to see that most of the Varat armored cavalry who rushed to the front had already fallen, and in terms of the casualties in front of them, these thousand-man teams that launched the charge were already useless.

Like a strong wind sweeping through the leaves, dense iron pellets the thickness of a thumb or a thumb rush to the face. Hit by these iron rains, both men and horses, their bodies were covered with dense thick blood holes.

Liu Juntao saw that one by one the Warat knights either screamed and fell off their horses, or rolled off their horses without saying a word, and those horses that were shot rolled on the ground in a blur of flesh and blood, or neighed violently, running wildly with huge wounds, causing even greater chaos behind him.

"Put!"

Ignoring the cries and shouts of the Warat army in front of them, the cold and ruthless voices in the car formation followed.

The commanders and commanders of the battalions continued to give orders, and the 10,000 and thousands of bird-gunners at the front of the formation took turns firing, like the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of the Tartars.

At this time, the bird in the car formation was again facing the warp iron rider who was running in terror behind him. In an instant, a large cloud of smoke rose again, and all the screams and cries of those Varat Iron Riders were instantly drowned out in the chorus of birds.

"Put!"

The bird throwers of each battalion were unequivocal, spraying out the ammunition in their bird guns to their heart's content, and the mine throwers of each battalion were also very brave, throwing earth-shattering thunder at the Warat soldiers and horses who were being beaten in circles dozens of paces away, and the battlefield suddenly rose with rolling fire, blowing up the Warat soldiers and horses on their backs.

I saw that the soldiers and horses of the Warat army in front of the car formation fell, screaming and rolling in pain in the ground, and Bahri on the other side of the Warat array faintly saw the battle situation on the other side, he was already colorless, and was completely frightened by the gunpowder smoke and deafening roar that filled the front of the Ming army.

At this moment, the Warat men and horses who were constantly falling outside the Ming army's chariot array were already like a trench, completely hindering the charging momentum of the cavalry behind. Coupled with the continuous volleys of the birds and guns of each battalion, the officers and men of the Ming army had successfully formed a sharp firepower network within a hundred paces in front of the car formation.
