Along the mountainous area of high to the west and low to the east, the Mongol cavalry found a camp the next day, which had already been destroyed.

Ashari also came here with the cavalry of the Asut tribe under the command of her eldest brother. She saw a charred and messy scene, the wood on the tent and the vehicle had not yet been burned, and smoke was billowing from the embers. There was a special smell of burnt meat in the air, but I didn't know if it was a cow or a sheep in the ashes, or a human corpse.

Many of the survivors were women, dirty, and grim-faced, rummaging through the abandoned camps, as if trying to find what was left useful. The Ming army probably thought that the women could not fight, and did not kill them.

With a black turban under her brass hat and a pair of deep eyes, Asari rode slowly along the abandoned camp. A hoarse cry made her look sideways, and she saw a woman sitting on the ground, holding the corpse of a big man in her arms, howling there, and beside her were two half-sized corpses.

Seeing such a scene, Asari's heart was sour.

After walking a few steps, Asari spotted a Tatar man half-lying beside the vandal cart. He let out a feeble moan, and Asari knew he was still alive. When he turned his head to look, he saw the big man's eyes staring at him without blinking. Asari hurriedly jumped off her horse and stepped forward to investigate. The entourage around him also followed.

The man's wound was on his waist, and the half-dried blood was already stuck with his clothes.

An attendant stepped forward with a knife, gently separated the fur and cloth from the wounded's waist, turned his head and said, "He was hit by the enemy's lead bullet, I'm afraid he won't survive." ”

Asari saw it immediately, tears welling up in the wounded's cloudy eyes. Apparently the person was still awake and could hear the people around him. His tears seem to express his attachment and reluctance to life.

"Find a way to save him." Asari blurted out.

The entourage had no choice but to obey the order and took out some knives and medicinal herbs from the baggage. While he was busy with his work, he said: "First of all, we must take out the lead pills from his body, and there may be fragments of clothing in it, and clean them up, and then apply medicine." However, I have seen many injured people who have been injured and the wounds may still fester. ”

After a while, the dying and injured man, who had no strength from nowhere, began to scream and struggle. The others had no choice but to step forward to help and hold down the wounded.

After tinkering for a long time, the man who had fainted on the ground woke up again, and he immediately began to cry out miserably. The pain of the flesh being cut by the knife on his body can be felt from his voice.

At this moment, someone rode over and told Asari that the Great Khan had discovered the location of the Ming cavalry, and that the army should immediately set off to drive away the Ming cavalry. The camp had been destroyed, and there was no longer any need to stay.

Asari wanted to take the injured man away, but soon found out that it was impossible. Most of the wounded man's body was completely immobile, and the wound from which the lead pellet had just been pulled out was still bleeding, and if he had been placed on horseback, he would have died in the agonizing jolts very quickly.

"What happens if you leave him where he is?" Asari accidentally spoke her mind.

The attendant replied, "It will take at least a few days to die, and it is difficult to breathe." ”

Asari froze in place.

At this time, a large group of people and horses came, and there were many flags in the horse team, and it turned out that Adai Khan had passed here. Adai Khan slowed down, looked at it for a while, and said, "Life and death are not easy. ”

Asari finally abandoned the strange wounded, but her heart sank into a heavy mood for a long time.

When it was almost noon, the army was in a ravine and met the cavalry of the Ming army. The two sides began to reorganize their military formations and gradually approached.

The high ground on both sides of this ravine has some rocks, which is not easy to run horses, but the mountains here are mostly gentle, and it is still possible to pass cavalry; It's just that it's not necessary, because the Ming army vanguard is also a cavalry team.

The Ming cavalry seemed to be smaller in number, but they did not retreat and were arranging in the east to confront the Mongol cavalry.

Not long after, a horse team of the Ming army took the initiative to force up.

Near the Great Khan's army, Ashali looked ahead along the ravine, and could already see the approaching Ming cavalry. The cavalry, which numbered about three or four hundred men, was divided into two parallel brigades and marched in formation.

Asari, who has been with horses since she was a child, can see at a glance that the Mongolian horses used as mounts are very poor, the kind of horses that are not good at running and charging, and they are very reluctant as war horses. And the riding skills of those Ming soldiers are not very good, and looking at the posture, it is obvious that they are half-life hands who do not often ride horses.

However, the Han people are very well dressed. In the eyes of the Mongols, who were very short of iron weapons, the equipment of those cavalry was extravagant, and they all had armor on their bodies, in addition to iron helmets, shoulder armor and shiny iron heart guards, the chain mail on their shoulders was also a new metallic luster. They were also armed with leather armor and dressed neatly in gray clothes.

The cavalry of the Ming army held something two feet long and half long in one hand, probably a firearm. Their front team retracted, forming a dense formation, gradually approaching within dozens of paces. The cavalry in front of the Mongol formation drew arrows one after another.

Suddenly, the sound of "bang ......" came, the fire shone brightly, and the smoke of gunpowder filled. At the same time, the strings of the Mongols also "crackled". Screams rang out from all sides.

In front of the two sides, it was as if the pot exploded at once, and the Mongols skillfully opened their bows and arrows, and some people continued to fall off their horses. The firecrackers in the Ming army formation on the opposite side did not stop, and those Ming soldiers carried another firearm and opened fire again. Then the front team slapped their horses on either side of the herd, and the rear team came up and opened fire. The Ming army was also neighing on their horses, and the horses that were hit by the arrows threw the knights off the horses, and some people were injured by the arrows and were carried away by the horses.

The Mongols were beaten in many places and loosely wounded. They finally reacted, and with their bows and swords roaring, they kicked their horses forward.

At this time, the Ming cavalry hurriedly began to turn around and immediately prepared to run.

The sudden firefight lasted only a moment, and the horses rushed to make the valley seem to boil too.

The exchange of fire between the two sides did not stop for a moment, and the Tatars who pursued them rode and shot while running. The Ming soldiers were also turning back, holding their guns in one hand, and firing at the Tatars. The chaotic sound of firecrackers filled the air.

Although the sound of horses' hooves and shouts was heard everywhere, there was little communication between them, the exchange of fire was hasty, and the horses became more and more chaotic.

The two sides were only a few dozen steps apart, and the Ming cavalry turned around and delayed

Occasionally, they did not outrun the pursuing Tatars. The cavalry of the Ming army was gradually caught up, and many people simply threw their guns and drew their sabers, and the two sides fought while running.

At this moment, a group of Ming spears rushed over, they staggered and formed three roads, and the knights carried the long cherry spears, and rushed straight into the chaos. The roaring hooves of the horses grew louder and louder, like thunder.

Compared to the fire-fired cavalry, the lancers who came up from behind were obviously more presentable, and their riding skills were disciplined and experienced. The iron cavalry of the Ming army quickly entered the chaotic herd of horses.

I saw a horse in front of me holding a cherry spear, and with the speed and length of the weapon, he stabbed the cherry spear straight into the chest of a Tartar soldier. The Tatar soldiers were still on horseback, and the Ming cavalry had given up their cherry spears, drew their single knives and continued to charge.

The Ming cavalry at the front was too fast, and a Mongol in front of him couldn't dodge, so he rushed in front of a Ming cavalry. The two horses collided with each other with a "bang" as they turned, and the neighing of the horses traveled far and wide. The Ming cavalry soon dispersed and joined the chaotic scuffle of horses.

At this time, a group of Ming army horses quickly penetrated the battlefield in front of them, and actually rushed straight to the banner of the Mongolian Chinese army.

Almost instantly, Asari saw many Mongol cavalry rushing out to meet the Ming army head-on. Seeing that the army was getting closer and closer, Ashali also took her bow and arrows and held them in her hand.

Asari scolded, kicking her mount to move.

She saw an enemy rider with a cherry spear charging head-on, and immediately put the arrow feather on the string, and looked at the horse under the bright armor, and immediately released the arrow, and in one go, there was a "bang" of the string, and the enemy horse turned forward from the horse.

Asari's second arrow, already on the bowstring, rushed from the side, aiming the arrow at the Han who was struggling to get up on the ground. She suddenly saw the man's face when he looked up, a very young Han man.

Her arrows were so late that they didn't come out of the way. Because of the use of both hands, a powerful archer will never take too long after pulling the bow, mainly by feeling, but Asari has been aiming for a long time at this time. She couldn't let go of herself, and perhaps for a moment she faintly remembered the moment when the young Han soldier gave up his life to save her and fell off his horse in the land west of the river.

At this moment, suddenly a black shadow rushed by. A Tatar soldier swung sideways, making a short, low and terrifying sound, and the Tatar soldier rushed through.

I saw that a stream of blood was spurting out of the Han man's neck, spilling into the air. His pupils changed in an instant, and his body, which had just risen, fell limply backwards.

An unexpected scene passed by Ashalie's eyes, and her mind was in turmoil. She consciously thought back to the desperate face of the Tatar woman in the midst of a family of corpses this morning. She thought it would be a little better, but for some reason the entanglement in her heart still didn't abate.

In the midst of the loud noise, Asari was in a brief trance. She looked up and saw that the wide hillsides on either side were deserted, and countless people were fighting frantically in the wilderness.

There was a "buzzing" sound in her ears, and she faintly heard a scream, as if a single knife was slowly unsheathed, but it was an illusion. When Asari came back to her senses, she saw swords and spears waving everywhere in front of her, and the whole world seemed to be in chaos.
