Outside the dining room fort, the Ming army was cheering to the fullest, but the Ji Nang at the gap in the Great Wall more than ten miles away to the north was like a mourner, the Ming army was unscathed, but the cavalry under his command suffered heavy casualties, and since he inherited the throne, he had never experienced such a heavy defeat.

This battle was lost so badly that until this time he didn't understand how the Ming army could suddenly create so many thunderstorms.

He had also heard of the thunder, when the Song army destroyed the Song Dynasty in the Mengyuan Dynasty, the thunder was used, but the thunder in the historical records was not so powerful, and the Song army only used the thunder when defending the city, and never used it in the field.

What the hell is going on here?

He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, and at this time most of the soldiers had already crossed the mountain to the north of the Great Wall, so he could only shake his head and sigh lonely, and beat his horse and galloped down the mountain.

At this time, Yang Cong was also thinking, what is going on?

He also saw the power of the thunder, when the giant thunder exploded, there were not many Tartar cavalry that were overturned, at most about 2,000 people, the Tartars rushed over 40,000 horses this time, and the loss of 2,000 men and horses should not have a great impact on them, logically speaking, the Tartar cavalry should not be defeated.

This time, the performance of the Tartar cavalry was too vegetable, it was just like a newcomer on the battlefield, without any routines, no toughness, and it would collapse at the first touch.

Are the cavalry under Ji Nang a newcomer to the battlefield?

Obviously not, they have been in the border for more than ten years, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles, so it stands to reason that they should not behave so badly.

In many cases, victory in a battle is not the end of the battle, and it is not uncommon for the enemy to win and then lose, and the battle will not end as long as the enemy has not suffered a devastating blow.

He knew quite well that the victory was only temporary, and that there were still more than 40,000 cavalry under Ji Nang, and if Ji Nang regrouped and led his army to rush up again, would he be able to defeat him again?

Now, the most important thing is to find out the reasons for this victory, so that you can continue to win in the following battles.

So, how exactly did you win this time?

He unconsciously looked at the valley in front of him, and suddenly there was a glimmer of realization in his heart.

The reason why he was able to win this time was that the terrain should be the main reason, because the valley was too narrow, and the Tartar cavalry could not disperse at all.

Moreover, because the valley is too narrow and the number of Tartar cavalry is large, they can only discharge a dense formation, which makes the giant thunder exert an unexpected effect, if the Tartar cavalry is scattered, or even besieged from all sides, it will be troublesome, the giant thunder will not be able to bomb anyone at all!

The reason was found, and he was at ease, and the next time the Tartar cavalry came again, he was confident that he would defeat it, because he could make better use of the terrain.

For example, dig some traps in the ground and put thin planks on them, so that people can walk on them without doing anything, and as soon as the cavalry rushes over, it will be wonderful, and I don't know how many people will fall into the pits.

Another example is to spread thistles on the ground, anyway, as long as they don't charge on this side, they can't step on it, and the Tartar cavalry will definitely overturn a large area as soon as they step on it.

For another example, if you put a tripping rope in the appropriate position in front of the car formation, once the Tartar cavalry is tripped, it is very likely that it will directly hit the spike of the fire dragon chariot, that guy, it's not too cool!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and thinking about it, he couldn't help but discuss it with Tang Shunzhi and the others.

These people are not fuel-efficient, etc., as soon as they heard what Yang Cong meant, they understood, and even they could draw inferences from each other and put forward a more perfect plan.

For example, if the tribulus terrestris is laid on the ground, they can charge, because they have a chariot, as long as the iron tribulus is installed at the bottom of the chariot, of course, in this way, the iron tribulus terrestris can not be spread too widely, at most a few zhang long area, because there are too many iron thistles on the ground, and the magnet cannot be absorbed.

While they were discussing it hotly, the scouts in front of them suddenly reported that the Tartar cavalry had crossed the gap in the Great Wall and headed for Zhangbei.

When Yang Cong heard the report, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since Ji Nang had led the army over the mountains and crossed the gap in the Great Wall, it was unlikely to turn back, at least today, because it was the most exhausting thing to cross the mountains, and it was very laborious to consume both manpower and horsepower.

If Ji Nang wants to fight back, he won't go over the mountains, because if he wants to fight back, he will basically be sleepy and tired, and he will fight back.

At this time, Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong were still waiting for orders there, because they were afraid of the enemy's counterattack, Yang Cong didn't even dare to let them disperse the chariot array and trebuchet array to clean up the battlefield, and now that the Tatar cavalry had already crossed the gap in the Great Wall, they naturally didn't have to worry.

Yang Congdang ordered: "Order Qi Jingtong to lead 10,000 guards to clean up the battlefield, count the results, and order Tang Kekuan and his subordinates to collect the car and return to the camp to rest." “

This battle is really over here, and the next thing is to count the results, and in less than an hour, Qi Jingtong reported the results.

The results of this battle are quite brilliant, the head of the Tartars alone has been captured by thousands, and hundreds of wounded horses have been captured, it can be said that since the orthodox dynasty of Yingzong, the Ming army has never won such a big victory in the battle with the Tartars, if this result is reported, it will definitely shock the government and the opposition.

However, Yang Cong was not in a hurry to report the results, because he was not sure whether Ji Nang would lead the army to counterattack, if Ji Nang ran back to rest for a day, and led the army to rush over tomorrow, I am afraid it would not be so easy to defeat it easily.

After all, this time the thunder was a bit unexpected by Ji Nang, and it was the surprise that would have achieved such brilliant results, if Ji Nang had been prepared, it was hard to say whether he could defeat it.

Yang Cong didn't dare to be negligent, so he let Ji Nang turn the tables, and that afternoon he ordered Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong to lead the army to set up outside the dining room fort.

It's definitely too late to make thistles, but no special tools or materials are needed to dig holes and set up trips.

He directly ordered Qi Jingtong to lead 10,000 elite guards to dig dozens of big pits in the valley in front of the dining room fort, and then spread thin wooden planks and sprinkle broken soil, at the same time, he also ordered Tang Kekuan to lead 10,000 elite border troops to set up several rows of tripwires in front of the car formation, each row is several miles wide, directly extending to both ends of the valley.

It's a pity that his settings were in vain, and the next morning, the scouts came one after another to report that the Tatar cavalry outside Zhangjiakou and Xinkou had withdrawn from camp, and the main force of the Tatar cavalry stationed in Zhangbei had also withdrawn from the camp and retreated to the Chahar grassland.

Ji Nang didn't want to leave, but he had to retreat because there were too many wounded under his men, more than 2,000 of the 50,000 troops who went out to fight were killed, and almost half of the others were wounded.

This guy, it's not so easy to get hurt by rusty iron needles, if you don't recuperate well, once it becomes inflamed and festers, it will be dead, if he insists on fighting back, many people will definitely get inflamed because of sweating too much, and then it will be troublesome.

Therefore, he could only retreat helplessly.
