The Ming army actually formed an iron cavalry?

Yes, the Ming army captured all parts of Liaodong Manchuria, destroyed the Mongolian Horqin, severely damaged the Chahar, and defeated the Mongolian tribes to surrender, so a large grassland, how could the Ming army lack war horses?

"Everyone, regardless of whether the Ming army formed an iron cavalry or not, it is certain that they only came with 50,000 people, we don't have to be afraid, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defeat the Ming army and force the emperor to compromise with us!" Pang Kaishi, one of the remnants of the three traitors, said.

Hearing Pang Kaishi's words, everyone came back to their senses, yes, no matter whether the Ming army formed an iron cavalry or not, the Ming army only had 50,000 horses, and they had an army of 300,000, and they couldn't defeat the 50,000 Ming army if they didn't believe it.

The traitors seem to forget, or subconsciously don't want to recall, that King Fu, who was also a strong man for their warriors, had the same 300,000 troops under his command, but he was wiped out by the 20,000 Ming army Ying Long.

Although it is said that their 300,000 army is the original Qing Army Han Banner Army, and its strength is much more elite than the 300,000 army of King Fu back then, don't forget that today's Ying Long Army is not the Ying Long Army of the year, and there are two other Ming troops who inherited the old equipment of the Ying Long Army, and their 300,000 rabble will not end much better than King Fu back then.

"Yes, we must defeat this Ming army!"

"Let Daming see our determination to wait!"

"The world's noble family is inviolable!"

The remnants of the traitors shouted, no matter what, they had no way out so far, they could only make a desperate bet.

December 8, Taiyuan City.

After 50,000 Ming army iron cavalry broke through three small county towns in a row, the soldiers approached the city of Taiyuan.

"Boom Boom" The fierce artillery fire continued to explode on the city wall of Taiyuan City, a large number of corpses of traitor soldiers were torn off the city wall, blood mist filled the entire Taiyuan city, and the traitor soldiers on it were all pale, their bodies trembling in the artillery fire, and they didn't know when a shell would explode next to them and tear their bodies apart.

The heavy artillery fire made the entire Taiyuan city tremble.

"Boom!"

"Ahh

Suddenly, a cannonball exploded next to a traitor soldier, and the powerful force instantly shredded the body of the traitor soldier, with stumps and broken arms, and blood mist filled the sky, which was extremely miserable.

This tragic scene happened to be witnessed by a slightly younger traitor soldier not far away.

"Nope! Nope."

This young traitor soldier had to bear the fear in his heart, and rushed down the city wall desperately, no matter how much the traitor threatened and persecuted, he would rather be beheaded by military law than be torn apart by the Ming army's cannonballs.

Fear spread like a plague, and with the first one to take the lead, more and more traitor soldiers suddenly couldn't bear the fear and ran down the city wall.

They were not an elite army in the first place, most of them were composed of ordinary people, who joined the traitor army just for a mouthful of food, and they did not have any fighting spirit and morale, and it was inevitable that they would flee under such a powerful artillery fire of the Ming army.

"Who dares to escape! Those who flee in fear of war will be killed! "There are traitor generals roaring angrily.

"Poof! Burst! ”

The traitor army general cut down several soldiers who fled, but he couldn't stop them, but more and more soldiers joined the rout.

"It's over!" Seeing that the traitor army could not prevent the soldiers from fleeing, the traitor army general suddenly showed despair.

His family is one of the high-level leaders of the traitor army, Taiyuan is their family's lair, and after the Ming army breaks the city, he will definitely not let his family go.

Outside the city, Zhang Kuishan and others were watching the situation in Taiyuan City with clairvoyance.

Seeing that the traitor soldiers on the head of Cheng continued to break down the city wall, and there was hardly any traitor army soldiers on the city wall, Zhang Kuishan and the others smiled, and the time had come to break through Taiyuan City.

"Attack!" Zhang Kuishan put down the clairvoyance in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Ming soldiers immediately carried boxes containing ** and rode their horses to the Taiyuan city wall.

"Stop shelling!" In order to avoid accidental injury, Zhang Kuishan also ordered a temporary halt to the shelling.

The speed of the war horse was very fast, a distance of nearly a thousand meters, and hundreds of soldiers arrived in less than twenty breaths, because the moat had long been frozen, and there was no obstruction, and hundreds of boxes containing ** were quickly stacked under the city wall.

Looking at the completion of the ** stacking, Zhang Kuishan smiled.

In fact, although the city wall of Taiyuan City is very strong, if only a section of the city wall is blown up, there is no need for hundreds of boxes, but adhering to the principle of rather more than less, Zhang Kuishan prepared hundreds of boxes.

Originally, the artillery carried by the 50,000 army was strong enough to destroy any city wall, but it took at least one or two hours or more, and it also required a lot of shells.

"Zizi"

The fuse was ignited, and the soldiers who had completed their mission quickly rode back.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, the flames soared into the sky, and the rubble burst out!

After the dust and smoke, the city wall of Taiyuan City was blown open a gap about seven or eight meters long.

"Kill!" Zhang Kuishan blatantly ordered.

"Boom"

The sound of horses' hooves roared, and it was transmitted into Taiyuan City, and the generals of the traitor army who had not recovered from the huge explosion were frightened and desperate, they heard that this was the sound of war horses charging, and the walls of Taiyuan City had been blown up, and they had no strength to block the attack of the Ming army.

"The tide is over! Let's run away! After the traitor army general finished speaking, he immediately ran towards the family.

The Ming army will not let go of the family of the traitor general, in order to prevent the family from being destroyed by the Ming army and keep the foundation of the family, they can only flee with the family when the Ming army breaks the city, only hoping to escape the pursuit of the Ming army.

"Kill"

The first wave of Ming iron cavalry entered the city, and more and more Ming iron cavalry entered the city.

The 50,000 Ming troops are all firearms army, and foot combat is their strong point, but although the cavalry battle greatly limits their combat effectiveness, the traitor army is just a group of rabble, which is not enough for the Ming army to form an infantry army to attack, and the cavalry battle is enough to smash the traitor army.

The traitor army in the city has already been in a mess, each of them fled, unable to organize any resistance, let the Ming army iron cavalry rampage, only an hour of time, the Ming army cleared all the traitors in Taiyuan City, recovered the first fortified city in Shanxi.

Since then, Shanxi has been unable to stop the footsteps of the Ming army's iron cavalry.

On December 11 of the fourth year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, after three days of attacking from all sides, the Ming army recovered the entire Shanxi with a momentum like a bamboo.

On December 12, the Ming army broke through Hangu Pass.

On December 13, the Ming army marched under the city of Tongguan, preparing to capture Tongguan and enter Shaanxi, completely purging the remnants of traitors inside.
