In the army of the late Ming Dynasty, the Ningyuan Army was the first army that dared to carry out field battles with the Tartars, so it was also the strongest army in the Ming Army.

Although the guards outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, such as Sun Chengzong, Ma Shilong, Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, etc., these generals of the Ningyuan Army outside the Guanguan are still controversial, and the Battle of Salhu, the Battle of Dalinghe, and the later Battle of Songjin were all defeated.

However, after all, they achieved major victories such as the Ningyuan victory and the Ningjin victory, leaving a strong mark in the strategic history of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In front of him, the more than 1,000 Ning Yuan troops led by Zu Keyong dared to start a field battle with the Tartars who were several times their size.

Now Lin Yi has a very good impression of Zu Keyong's army, don't look at them with such and such problems, lax discipline, burning, killing and looting, bullying the common people, and ruining women, but the key is that these Tartars who invaded the Ming Dynasty and harmed the Han people, they did not surrender to the Tartars or flee from the wind like other Ming troops, but dared to fight to the death.

Being able to do this is already commendable in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Lin Yi knew that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were still millions of troops in the Ming Dynasty, including many brave and good generals and people who defended the city to the death.

There are many soldiers who are unwilling to surrender, but there are not a few who dare not fight with the Tartars. They had ill intentions, fought separately, and even went their own way, coupled with those capricious thieves, finally forced Emperor Chongzhen to the crooked neck tree in Media Mountain. Then the Ming Dynasty ended, and in his nearly 300-year history, the Han people became the targets of Tartars and traitors to kill and enslave.

Therefore, Lin Yi is still very optimistic about Ning Yuanjun.

In this troubled era, before the invasion of foreign enemies, those who can pick up guns and do things with them cannot be said to be heroes, but at least they are a hundred times stronger than those traitors and traitors.

Lin Yi hated traitors the most, and what he admired the most were those national heroes who had the responsibility to defend the land and dared to fight to the death, which was the case before the crossing and still after the crossing.

Therefore, Lin Yi felt a sense of admiration for Zu Keyong, and he was also proud and proud to be one of them.

The iron hooves of the Tartars came galloping, 500 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters......

"Shoot!" The commander of the musket battalion was a hundred generals, and when he saw that the iron hooves of the Tartars had entered the firing range, he gave an order and pulled the lead of the arquebus.

Some lit the fuse with torches, while others pulled the trigger.

"Bang, bang, bang," the gun rang out like fried beans, and as the white smoke dissipated, the Tartars who rushed in front fell one after another.

Lin Yi saw that these soldiers who used firearms were still able to be accurate, and this round of shooting overturned dozens of Tartar iron horses, but this firearm was too primitive and too limited.

Load, charge, aim, toss for a long time, the gun is over with a puff of white smoke, the program has to start all over again, it's too delayed, the Tartar horse is as fast as a whirlwind, can you give you this time?

The key point is that these fire guns and bird guns cannot be fired in bursts!

In addition, Lin Yi also saw with his own eyes that two firearms did not fire, and there was another one, maybe the ammunition was overloaded, or the barrel quality was too poor, and the bore exploded with a bang.

Lin Yi couldn't help shaking his head, damn, before Lao Tzu crossed over, those eliminated, rusty, and watery guys were much better than this. If I knew this was the case, I would have had a good time holding a few AK-47Ks or carrying a few boxes of grenades!

No wonder the firearms of the Ming Dynasty can't stop the iron horses of the Tartars!

"Rush over! Kill them all! The Tartars shouted.

These Tartars have also been dealing with the Ming army for a long time, and they know that as long as they can break through their fire defense, these Ming troops will be exhausted.

Therefore, the Tartars in the back, trampling on the blood and corpses of their companions, rushed forward desperately.

Sure enough, after the first round of gunfire, several of the Ming army's firearms, birds, and three-eyed guns were all dumbfounded.

After each of the soldiers of the first echelon fired a shot, of course, they could not wait for the knife, they hurriedly covered themselves in the ditch, loaded ammunition and prepared for a second fire.

But where do the Tartars give them time? In the blink of an eye, it rushed to the front of the eye.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The 200 archers of the second echelon had already been prepared, and at the sound of an order, the bowstring suddenly sounded, the arrow wind whistled, and the arrows flowed like rain.

The Tartars who rushed in front were shot down again.

Lin Yi found that the bows and arrows at this time were more effective than those fire-bolt birds and three-eyed guns, the archers were well-trained, they drew the bow and shot arrows quickly, and they took turns shooting arrows, which could form a continuous dense firepower.

For a time, these Tartar soldiers suffered countless casualties. People shouted that horses neighed, and there were dead and wounded everywhere, and some even led people and horses, and were shot into hedgehogs on the spot.

But the Tartars don't just know how to ride horses, they are also good at archery, and they can knock down enemies from a distance of 100 meters on a flying horse.

Encountering a dense barrage of bows and arrows, the Tartars began to make a roundabout advance. They moved in an irregular curve from left to right, and they were shooting arrows as they rushed forward, and the two sides shot at each other, suffering casualties on each other.

Occasionally, during this period, a musket was loaded and fired a second shot, but it was only a second shot, and they never had a chance again.

For by this time the iron horsemen of the Tartars had already leapt into their positions.

"Kill!"

The 800 Ning Yuanjun of the third echelon saw that it was hot, and the leaders of the few hundred generals shouted and killed, they waved the swords and guns in their hands, and pounced on the Tartars like tigers descending the mountain.

Firearms, bows and arrows were no longer needed at this point, and hand-to-hand combat began.

The Tartars rode on their horses, brandishing machetes in their hands and baring their teeth and claws. The cavalry and infantry of Ning Yuan's army were mixed, and more than a hundred of Wang Jian's guards also rushed forward, and the warriors responded to the Tartars's war knives with their broadswords and spears in their hands.

The battlefield is a killing machine, and all that has ever produced corpses is corpses.

It has not been more than half an hour since the start of the war, and countless lives have ascended to the sky, and the battlefield can only be described as full of dead and wounded.

But the fierce battle between the two sides continued, and Lin Yi saw that these guys with money rat tails were extremely fierce, and they were also relying on the strength of the crowd, and the hundreds of warriors of the Ming army were a little unable to resist. The archers and musketeers had already been killed, and they had narrowly escaped with their lives.

The Ming army showed a tendency to retreat.

Wang Jian's more than 100 guards, including dozens of rogue prisoners who were later reorganized, were killed and wounded before they rushed over without a single cigarette.

Carrying a large axe, Zu Keyong, who was watching the battle on a nearby high slope, scolded and ordered to retreat.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "My lord, you can't withdraw at this time." The Tartars are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and if we retreat, they will surely take advantage of the victory to chase and kill, and if we don't do well, we will be in danger of being annihilated. ”

"But our defeat is decided, and if we continue to fight, we will inevitably be wiped out, what can we do if we don't retreat? Waiting to die? ”

"Capture the thief and capture the king, I have locked their main general just now, please give the commander to the next team, let it go, maybe it can be done."

"All or nothing, too dangerous, right?"

"The situation of adults is compelled to do so."

"How many people do you want?"

"Fifty horsemen are enough, and the rest are protective adults. If you are lucky, you can lead someone to charge in person to break the Tartar, and if you fail, you can order the retreat, and you can also cover the retreat of the adult. ”

"Okay, the Great Commander will give you eighty rides, if you don't succeed, the Great Commander will fight with the dog!" Zu Keyong gritted his teeth and let it go.

Xiaoying also wanted to follow, Lin Yi said: "Wang Qi, Dongsheng, don't go to the two of you, be optimistic about Xiaoying, and protect the adults with the remaining brothers."

Since Lin Yi became the captain of Zu Keyong's guard, the guard team has also been reorganized, because Tian Heng and dozens of others have been executed, and they have been supplemented from other horses. Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Er Hu, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, as well as the thief captive soldier Dazhu, Wang Fa, etc., most of these are soldiers of the Old Eight Banners, and now they have all been promoted by Lin Yi to the guard battalion of the Grand Commander.

In view of the homonym between the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Tartars, this flag number was simply revoked.

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he rushed down the hill with eighty horses, and the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong's side, even Xiaoying, Wang Qi, and Dongsheng were counted, and there were still about forty people left.

"You two get out of the way!" Xiao Ying shouted anxiously.

"Sister Xiaoying, let's listen to Mr. Lin, you can't kill the Tartars if you go, but it's a burden."

"You two damn it, are you saying I'm useless......"

Brother Lin, you must be careful...... I'll wait for you to come back alive......"

Xiao Ying shouted at Lin Yi's back, her eyes moistened.

Lin Yi didn't want to hear it, he didn't look back, he took the lead, Zhang Hua, Erhu, He Tao and other eighty horsemen followed closely, swinging a wave of dust, like a giant dragon soaring into the air.

At this time, the defenses of the three echelons of the Ming army were all destroyed by the Tartar cavalry, and the 1,000 Ming army suffered heavy casualties and retreated. The iron hooves of the Tartars were unstoppable like rolling iron, and they bit the ass of the Ming army in the back. Countless soldiers of the People's Army, in the process of retreating, caught up with the Tartars and beheaded them under their horses.

At this time, Lin Yi rushed over with eighty horsemen to meet the surging Tartars, and his target was the Tartar general next to the red flag who was brandishing a big knife and rushing to kill.
