More than 50 miles northeast of Tongzhou City, on the road to Jizhou, a big war is slowly kicking off.

On the side of the Ming Dynasty, there were 20,000 elite Shanxi troops led by Zhang Da, a veteran of the Northwest Frontier Army.

On the Tartar side, there were 50,000 elite horsemen led by Altan Khan's own brother, Kundu Liha.

20,000 foot soldiers against 50,000 cavalry, this difference in strength is really a bit huge, Kundu Liha thinks that he is sure to win, so he doesn't want to, he directly leads his 50,000 elite cavalry to rush to the opposite Ming army.

Coincidentally, Zhang Da, the chief general of the Ming army, also thought that he had won, so in the face of 50,000 Tartar cavalry, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but ordered his men and horses to set up a position on both sides of the road, and be tough with others!

This guy, I'm afraid he is not sick, why don't he run away and seek death?

At this time, Kundu Liha already had a victorious smile on his face, while the veteran Zhang Da's face showed a rare look of nervousness.

It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to kill these 50,000 Tartar cavalry, but mainly because there are a few "Xiucai" generals in his army, and these "Xiucai" generals are commanding the two sharp weapons of muskets and artillery, and he is really a little worried that these guys will stab him in the air.

Fortunately, Feng Wensheng, the "Xiucai" general who is responsible for commanding artillery, seems to have a good grasp of the fighters, but the first round of artillery was released a little early, although it was a bit of a waste of shells, but it did not have much impact on the battle situation.

At this time, the roar of artillery had already sounded, and Zhang Da also raised the telescope in his hand a little rusty to observe the results of the battle.

What will be the effect of this first round of artillery bombardment?

He thought that it would be good to have a thousand shells hit the Tartar cavalry in the front row, and the remaining 1,000 rounds would probably fall into the open space in front of the Tartar cavalry.

However, the results he saw were not the same.

The shells fell, and the front row of the Tartar cavalry suddenly fell in a large area, and the number was definitely more than a thousand!

This means that Feng Wensheng's judgment did not deviate in the slightest, and almost all the 2,000 shells hit the front row of the Tartar cavalry!

Is this guy so powerful?

He was holding the binoculars, his mouth open in a daze, "boom, boom", another roar of artillery rang out, and the Tartar cavalry suddenly made a mess.

There is no way, almost all the cavalry in the front row were bombarded by the artillery of the Ming army, and the cavalry in the back couldn't stop at all, so they collided directly.

Just when the Tartar cavalry was in disarray, "boom, boom", another roar of artillery rang out.

At this moment, the Tartar cavalry was even more chaotic, and the front row was full of soldiers screaming and falling to the ground and war horses that had lost their masters scurrying around.

This kid, boom!

Zhang Da's face couldn't help showing excitement, three rounds of 6,000 shells went down, causing more than 10,000 casualties, and the Tartar cavalry killed and injured was probably more than the shells.

Even he didn't expect this effect.

"Boom, boom", another roar of artillery rang out, and the momentum of the Tartar cavalry was almost stagnant.

"Boom, boom", and it didn't take long for another roar of artillery to sound, and the formation of the Tartar cavalry was completely chaotic, and many people showed panic on their faces.

This guy, can five rounds of artillery bombardment be able to repel 50,000 Tatar cavalry?

This is of course impossible.

Kundu Liha was almost crazy at this time, he really didn't expect that the Ming army was equipped with so many artillery, and even he was almost hit by a cannonball, if he hadn't reacted quickly and got under the horse's crotch, he would probably have been hit by the cannonball at this time.

"Ahhh ”

At this time, the whole formation was chaotic, everyone was busy dodging, who would listen to him, and some people even turned their horses' heads and began to flee backwards.

"Ahhh

At this time, his mind was also a little clearer, he no longer screamed and forced people to charge, but ordered the generals to pack up their men, reorganize the formation, and prepare to continue the charge.

He is a little reckless, the combat experience is indeed quite rich, artillery, he has not encountered it, the artillery of the Ming army can fire five rounds in a row at most, after five rounds, the artillery has to rest, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Is that really the case?

After five rounds of artillery bombardment, Feng Wensheng did not give the order to open fire, but he ordered all the artillery to retreat to the back of the large formation with artillery and ammunition, and hurriedly loaded the guns.

At this time, the casualties of the 50,000 Tatar cavalry were close to 20,000, of course, most of them were injured by colliding with each other in the chaos, and not so many were actually killed by shells.

After Kunduliha reorganized his formation, his face showed a hideous look again.

"Ahhh

He didn't care about cleaning up the wounded soldiers, and as soon as the various departments were able to put the array out of the formation, he waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Rush with me, rush up and kill them all!" ”

He still didn't believe it, and more than 30,000 cavalry rushed up and couldn't kill 20,000 foot soldiers.

If these foot soldiers are ordinary foot soldiers, of course they will be hacked to death, but the problem is that these foot soldiers are not ordinary foot soldiers, they are chariot soldiers armed with firearms!

He had just led the army to advance more than 100 paces, when a dense burst of muskets rang out in the Ming army's formation.

Although most of them are wearing thick leather armor and holding round wooden shields, they are not fully protected, their arms, legs and whatever, are basically exposed to musket bullets, and the war horses under their crotches are basically unprotected, and they can't carry bullets at all.

Soon, another scream sounded, and I don't know how many people fell off their horses.

However, this time their formation was not chaotic, mainly they had just begun to charge, and the speed of the horses was not very fast, and after losing a small half of them, their formation was much more sparse, and even if someone fell off the horse, they would have time to dodge.

Kundu Liha didn't care about any casualties at this time, he had an idea in his heart, rush up and hack these souls to death!

The distance of two hundred paces, for the cavalry, it was simply a blink of an eye, and after losing thousands of men and horses, Kundu Liha finally led the army to the Ming army's chariot array.

Before he could figure out how to break through this chariot formation, a black and oppressive dark cloud suddenly rose behind the chariot of the Ming army.

Boom!

So much thunder!

Kunduliha's face finally changed.

This thunder is not so easy to dodge, once it explodes around you, it is inevitable that you will be injured, and as for the degree of injury, it depends on your luck.

If you are lucky, you may also get a few iron needles in your arms or legs, and the pain will pass as soon as it hurts, and it will basically not affect the battle.

If you are unlucky, and the iron needle pierces the face or even the eye, then you will be guilty.

"Boom, boom", after a burst of explosions, another scream sounded, almost everyone was hit, even Kundu Liha felt a pain in his right leg, and he didn't know how many iron needles were pierced into it.

Nima, he was so angry that he directly brandished his scimitar and rushed to the Ming army's chariot, which was a burst of indiscriminate slashing.

Before he could slash a few times, several spears suddenly stretched out from behind the chariot and stabbed him indiscriminately.

To be honest, his kung fu was quite good, and such attacks had little effect on him, and the spear that stabbed him was basically cut off by him.

However, his subordinates are not as powerful as him, as soon as the spear came out, and I don't know how many people were hit and fell off the horse, beside him, there was a scream again, but the Ming army's car formation did not move at all.

At this time, he was already a little skeptical about life.

He hasn't even hacked a single Ming army to death, but most of his men and horses have already suffered casualties, is there a mistake!
