The battle outside the town of Anping, with the arrival of the Tatar cavalry, entered a new climax!

In the face of the attack of the two sides, the Tang Army did not mess with its own position, and the main force of the strategic reserve, the Guards Army and the Ninth Infantry Division, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately set up a dense four-cornered phalanx and a hollow phalanx on the west side of the battlefield!

They, with their heads held high!

They, full of confidence, listed the phalanx to meet the possible attack of the Tatar cavalry!

At the same time, in the center of the battlefield, the Sixth Infantry Division almost destroyed the right flank of the Ming army, they crushed one Ming army after another, and the Ming army on the opposite side had almost no strength to fully parry.

Even if the right wing of the Ming army was reinforced by 20,000 troops from the middle army of the Ming army, the 20,000 Ming army did not change the collapse of the right wing of the Ming army!

It's not that they didn't have any effect at all, at the very least, they blocked the 6th Infantry Division for a moment, prolonging the collapse of the Ming army's right flank a little.

But!

However, the right flank of the Ming army still inevitably collapsed!

In the head-to-head confrontation between the two sides, the initial right flank of the Ming army of about 20,000 people, plus the subsequent reinforcements of 20,000 people, was successively defeated by the left flank of the Tang Army with the Sixth Infantry Division as the core!

In this direction, the Ming army obviously concentrated at least twice the superiority of troops, but it still couldn't stop the Tang army's attack!

This!

This is the difference in strength between the two sides!

And this kind of gap, Emperor Zhengde already knew in advance, and he had heard countless people say it, but before that, he still had a certain illusion, he believed that even if the combat effectiveness of his own troops was poor, but in this kind of frontal confrontation, if he invested twice the troops, he should at least be evenly matched.

However, reality mercilessly slapped him in the face!

The right flank of the Ming army!

Crashed!

At first, more than 20,000 people, then more than 40,000 people, were completely defeated by the left flank of the Tang Army with wave after wave of ferocious offensives, leaving them not the slightest chance to reorganize their formations and stabilize the front!

The three main infantry regiments of the Sixth Infantry Division even began to disperse, and then each pursued the Ming army, and in front of each main infantry regiment, there were at least twice as many Ming soldiers!

Dale!

Looking up, the mountains are full of fleeing soldiers of the Ming army!

Tens of thousands of people are running in the field unorganized and without any hope, they don't even know where they should run, they just run with their heads bored, towards poetry and distance!

Because behind them, the fierce Tang Army was chasing!

The right wing of the Ming army has completely collapsed, and the middle and left wings of the Ming army are now also ushering in the most severe test!

The left flank was better, because the terrain here was more complicated, and the Ming army occupied several low hills and arranged a defensive line, so it was not the main offensive direction of the Tang army.

The main offensive line of the Tang Army was undoubtedly the right flank of the Ming army at the beginning, and now, taking advantage of the complete collapse of the right flank of the Ming army, the main force of the Chinese army directly attacked and launched an attack on the main force of the Ming army.

Then quickly advance in the opposite column!

If the 6th Infantry Division on the left flank of the Tang Army completes the turn and then launches an attack on the flank of the Ming Army, then it will basically be the end of the Ming Army!

Dealing with the main attack of the Tang Army's Central Army, they were already very difficult, especially the artillery of the Tang Army's First Artillery Group, which was always overtaking the Ming Army's key forces gathering point!

At this moment, the 1st Artillery Group, the artillery positions of the Chinese army, added up to at least 150 artillery pieces aimed at the Chinese army of the Ming army, which put the Chinese army of the Ming army under huge pressure!

And this kind of pressure is something they have never endured before!

In the Battle of Yangzhou, the defenders in the city withstood the indiscriminate bombardment of more than 200 artillery pieces, and the shelling at that time lasted for several days.

However, the defenders in the city at that time had the protection of the city fortifications, and although the artillery fire of the Tang army was fierce, at most it was to kill and injure the defenders at the head of the city, and more Ming troops could hide behind the city walls.

But today!

But they are fighting a field war!

If the artillery of the Explanation Army can still fire safely in the constructed artillery positions, but the infantry who list a large and dense phalanx, they can only be hard pits with fierce shelling!

They have no fortifications to rely on, and even if they do, they can't shrink behind the fortifications, let alone lie down!

Because on the opposite side is the same huge number of Tang Army Chinese troops, their dense phalanx is advancing, you ran away, lay down to avoid the shelling, but how to line up to meet the battle?

Now this kind of frontal confrontation of infantry phalanx, without phalanx, it is almost unimaginable, by that time, tens of thousands of Ming troops in the Chinese army, I am afraid that they will not need to be shelled, they can be directly defeated, and it is the kind that will collapse at the touch of a button.

Therefore, although the Ming army suffered the casualties of the shelling, it still did not dare to disperse!

Instead, they began to take the initiative to push forward and try to change the current disadvantage!

The current situation on the battlefield is almost on the verge of complete collapse for the Ming army!

And what are the Tatars doing? What is Altan Khan doing?

On the west side of the battlefield, Altan Khan was meditating at this time!

He felt that today's battle was too weird, and since the morning, it has been beyond his expectations!

In the morning, he thought that the Ming army and the Tang army should be able to fight and lose both, but two hours later, others told him that the Ming army was about to finish.

Then he led the cavalry to attack, but he did not order any cavalry to attack, but stayed a thousand meters away after coming to the battlefield, because he saw that the Tang army had already sent at least 30,000 people to meet him.

Seeing this scene, he knew that his purpose had been achieved, because the Tang army sent 30,000 people to meet him, which meant that he had successfully contained at least 30,000 Tang troops!

In this way, the pressure on the Ming army will be greatly reduced!

But the next scene made him frown!

Those damn Ming troops, just like the mud, have pinned down at least 30,000 Tang troops for them, but the Ming army of more than 100,000 still can't stop the attack of the Tang army with less than 70,000!

Oh, my God!

Zhengde Lao'er had twice the advantage of troops, but it was a mess of defeat, and the left flank of the Ming army collapsed so quickly that Altan Khan was sideways.

Bastard, when did these Ming soldiers become so soft, when they fought with Lao Tzu in the past few years, weren't they quite capable of fighting, why did they immediately become soft-footed shrimp when they met the Tang Army?

Altan Khan doesn't understand!

In fact, he was completely unable to comprehend the battle in front of him!

While the Tang army was dividing 30,000 troops to prepare for its own cavalry, the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people were able to put together the Ming army, which was full of 112,000 people!

Could this be my mistake?

The Ming army on the other side?

If this continues, I am afraid that the Ming army will be completely finished.

Even if the distance was a little far, he saw that the Chinese army of the Ming army was already crumbling.

If this continues, the Ming army will be completely finished, and when the Chinese army is finished, will the left wing of the Ming army still be able to go wild? Just kidding, it is estimated that the left flank of the Ming army will collapse without fighting.

I can't continue to wait like this, otherwise, after the collapse of the Ming army, he Altan Khan can only return to the grassland with the cavalry, and plunder again on the way back.

When the time comes, let alone going south to occupy the Central Plains, even if it is a few important cities that are forcibly taken over from the Ming army in Jiubianli, I am afraid that they will have to be handed over, because Altan Khan knows very well that without the Ming army blocking the front, with his cavalry, it will be absolutely impossible to hold those cities.

And how it will develop in the future can be imagined with your toes!

They will retreat to the grassland, the Tang army will recover the border towns and cities, and then form a large-scale cavalry to fight into the grassland, repeating the tradition of thousands of years: when the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, it will always take the initiative to attack the grassland forces!

Can't wait any longer!

Altan Khan will never be willing to go back so disgraced!

This opportunity to go south can be said to be the best and only opportunity for the steppe people to go south to the Central Plains in the past two hundred years.

So!

He drew his scimitar!

He raised his scimitar!

Then pointed to the Tang army formation in front: "The whole army assaults, tear through the defense line of the Tang army!" ”

Altan Khan, as the most outstanding lord of the Mongolian steppe in recent decades, no one dares to obey his orders!

So, countless Tatar cavalry began to roar out!

Because of the huge number of Tatar cavalry, it is naturally impossible to rush up all at once, they are divided into three armies, the left and right, the left army of about 20,000 cavalry rushed to the front line of the Tang army on the west side of the front, that is, the phalanx of the Guards, and the rear of the Guards Army, is the Sixth Infantry Division and other left flank troops of the Tang Army, including the first artillery group, at this moment, the left wing of the Tang Army and the First Artillery Corps are storming the flank of the Ming Army, trying to cooperate with the Tang Army and the Central Army to completely establish a victory

And the other army, that is, the right army, about 10,000 cavalry, rushed to the direction slightly south of the west side of the Tang Army, where it was the direction of the Ninth Infantry Division, and the rear of the Ninth Infantry Division was the real rear of the Tang Army, where was the rear battalion of the Tang Army, and at the same time the location of the main artillery position!

And Altan Khan personally led 20,000 Chinese cavalry to follow in the rear!

Just looking at Altan Khan's arrangement, I know that his main direction of attack is the Guards, trying to crush the Guards, and then flanking the left flank of the Tang Army to redeem the dangerous defeat of the Ming Army!

However, will Altan Khan's arrangement be successful?

Guards, will they be able to hold off the attack of 20,000 Tatar cavalry?
