The Tartars actually settled down outside Zhangjiakou and Xinkou, and they were still building siege equipment there!

This move really made Yang Conglei not light, if he was a stunned youth, he would definitely send someone to Zhangjiakou and Xinkou to support, the problem is that he is not stunned.

Zhangjiakou and Xinkai are both fortresses connected to the city wall, and he has already allocated a batch of thunderbolts to Li Fengming and Wang Fuchen, even if the enemy is good at attacking the city, it is impossible to break through either of these two places in a day or two, not to mention that the Tartars are not good at attacking the city.

It's clear that Ji Nang is playing some kind of trick.

He didn't want to deal with it at all, because there was no need to deal with it, the dining room fort was only more than twenty miles away from Zhangjiakou and Xinkai, and it didn't take an hour to rush over, even if the Tartars launched a fierce attack, he would be too late to lead the army over.

At this time, he hoped that Ji Nang would lead the army to storm Zhangjiakou or Xinkou, because the two city defenses were much stronger than the Dining Fort, and he was fully confident that he would lead the army to defend it, and there were no city defense facilities at all in this Dining Fort, and the two sides had not yet been connected to the Great Wall, so he had to fight with the Tartars in the field, and now in this situation, he really didn't have the confidence to turn over the Tartar 50,000 cavalry in the field.

Unfortunately, Ji Nang did not attack Zhangjiakou and Xinkou as he wished, and within a few days, Tanma came to report that the main force of the Tartars began to assemble in the direction of the dining house.

At this time, the Tartar cavalry outside Zhangjiakou and Xinkou did not withdraw, that is to say, the main force of the Tartars was only about 40,000, 20,000 against 40,000, and maybe there was still a fight, at least Yang Cong thought so.

Ji Nang didn't think so, he just wanted to break into Xuanfu Town in one fell swoop, and then attract the main force of the Ming army to fight in the field, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and then see if he could take the opportunity to take the entire Xuanfu Town.

In order to achieve the effect of the surprise attack, before the end of the day, he ordered his 40,000 cavalry to begin to assemble in the direction of the Dining Chamber, and before the hour the 40,000 troops arrived at the largest gap in the Great Wall north of the Dining Chamber.

With his order, 40,000 cavalry rushed up the mountain, quickly crossed the gap in the Great Wall, and went straight to the food house fort.

At this time, Yang Cong had already ordered Tang Kekuan and Qi Jingtong to lead the army to line up outside the dining room fort and wait for the battle.

Due to the rush of time, at this time the fire dragon chariot was only 1,400 units, a thousand trebuchets were rushed out, the two sides of the food room fort are vast mountains, in the middle of a valley four or five miles wide, 1,400 fire dragon chariots lined up can just completely block the entire valley, but the lack of depth defense, once the enemy opens the gap, it will be a tragic hand-to-hand combat.

Ji Nang didn't expect that this new champion of the Ming Dynasty would be so "reckless", and he didn't need to be tempted, so people lined up in the field to prepare for war with him, or rather, they deliberately lured him to come here to fight.

Looking at the spiked car array in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.

The chariot formation is indeed a sharp weapon against the cavalry, but not all the chariot formations can defeat the 40,000 elite cavalry under his command.

After a little observation, he found that this chariot array was only one layer, and there were more than 1,000 chariots on the opposite side, even if there was a group of Ming troops hidden behind each chariot, there were more than 10,000 Ming soldiers on the opposite side at most.

At least, from his direction, that's how it feels.

He's just more than 10,000 foot soldiers, who to scare, even if there is a chariot, the cavalry is not without a chariot.

The Mengyuan cavalry didn't know how many battles they had gone through, so they naturally knew how to deal with the chariots, and the easiest way was to concentrate the pikemen to open a part of the chariots, break the driving formation, and kill it.

He observed for a moment and then decisively ordered: "Order, the sword and shield men are in the front, the pikemen are in the center, and the archers are in the back, ready to charge." ”

With his order, the 40,000 cavalry began to adjust, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the adjustment was over, and the 40,000 cavalry, which had been chaotic, gradually fell silent.

He glanced back, and then without hesitation, he drew his sword and shouted, "Rush! ”

"Rush!" , a loud roar resounded throughout the world, followed by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, and the Tartar cavalry began to charge.

Yang Cong stood on the tower of the dining fort, looking at the Tartar cavalry surging over like a tide, he was really a little panicked, after all, this was his first time on the battlefield, and he encountered 40,000 Tatar cavalry, saying that he was not afraid, it was fake.

At this time, Zhu Xizhong and Zhao Shichun beside him also showed a little nervousness, but Tang Shunzhi was not only not nervous, but faintly excited.

Maybe it's because the artist is bold, his kung fu is really good, even if he sees the Tartar cavalry, he is not afraid at all, and even he has an urge to rush up and kill the enemy.

Of course, there is no need for hand-to-hand combat at this time, and they still have a lot of long-range attack methods that they haven't used.

Seeing the Tatar cavalry approaching quickly, he couldn't help but glance at Yang Cong on the side, they had already made the corresponding signs in front, where the Tatar cavalry rushed, what attack should be used, these have been tested, in order to show the authority of the patrol lord, this attack order should have been issued by Yang Cong, he was worried that Yang Cong was too nervous, or he was frightened and forgot to give the order.

Although Yang Cong was a little panicked, he was not so frightened that he even forgot to give the order.

The Tartar cavalry advanced quickly, and in a short time their advance reached the first mark, which was about a mile or so from the chariot formation, and it was time to begin.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and ordered: "Trebuchet, drawstring loading, musketeers, ready to shoot." ”

A flag fluttered on the city tower, and the soldiers of the Ming army below finally moved.

At this time, the effect of the drill was reflected, behind the trebuchet, tens of thousands of guards ran up without hesitation, pulled down the torsion arm, fixed it, and put the giant thunderbolt into the bomb basket, behind the fire dragon chariot, a thousand musketeers also quickly climbed into the carriage, and the movements of the soldiers in the two places actually had a feeling of uniformity.

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then decisively ordered: "Musketeer, ignite." ”

At this time, the Tartar cavalry was already approaching about two hundred and fifty paces of the chariot formation, and according to the speed of the cavalry and the speed of the fire rope, the ignition was just right at this time.

In the blink of an eye, a dense burst of gunfire rang out from the fire dragon chariot, and at this time, the Tartar cavalry rushed to about two hundred paces away from the chariot formation.

This is not a drill, the gunpowder in the musket is enough, a thousand bullets are fired, that is not a joke, in front of the Tartar cavalry formation, at least two or three hundred people fell off their horses in an instant, and the entire charging formation also showed a trace of chaos.

Ji Nang frowned and glanced back, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, of course he knew that the Ming army had muskets, but he didn't expect that this new champion could get so many muskets.

The loss of two or three hundred people at a time really made him feel a little heartache, but he did not order to stop the charge, two or three hundred people were only, not to the extent of breaking the muscles and bones, it didn't matter, as long as he rushed forward, he would get everything back.

At this time, he was about to rush to about a hundred and fifty paces away from the chariot formation, and although he knew that the bow and arrows might not have any effect, he still raised his hand to signal, and the archers behind him were ready to release the arrows.

Yang Cong also saw that the Tartar cavalry vanguard had rushed to about one hundred and fifty steps in front of the car formation at this time, and he did not hesitate to order: "Trebuchet, ignition, cast"

The command flag waved, "woo woo woo", there was a muffled sound, and a thousand giant thunderbolts flew into the sky and smashed straight towards the Tartar cavalry.
