The sun had not yet appeared, and the endless earth was shrouded in a thin veil of smoke. The sound of "rumbling ......" in the cold wind is like a continuous muffled thunder in the sky.

The soldiers in the Ming army stood up, and everyone looked into the distance in shock. On the northern horizon, dark shadows are surging.

Many of the soldiers in the queue whispered. At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when everyone turned their heads to look, they saw the general Yin Desheng riding over.

Behind Yin Desheng, a big man held a red military flag with the word "Ming" written on it, and the military flag was hunting and flying in the cold wind.

After a while, Yin Desheng's voice shouted: "Right Thousand Corps, left and right two balances, take twenty steps back to the rear." Shrink the line of defense! ”

A military general not far away responded: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

In the shouts of the generals, the soldiers on the various rectangular arrays on this side turned around and moved backwards.

A young young student named Daniel Zhang in the queue, who was very handsome, looked back and saw that some enemy rangers had already walked not far ahead. And he happened to be in the first row, so he suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

Taking advantage of the noisy footsteps, someone nearby suddenly asked, "Do you want to bring back the corpses of those brothers who died before?" ”

Another said: "I heard that it was buried on the road, and I will dig it up and take it away when I am the teacher." ”

When Daniel Zhang heard this, he felt a little comforted in his heart. The brothers all believed that there are ghosts when people die...... If he became a lonely ghost, he would be very scary to think about it and wander in such a cold and desolate place!

The enemy troops in the distance saw only human figures, and most of them watched from a long distance, but did not come closer. But only the enemy horse team opposite Daniel Zhang was still moving, first slowly approaching!

At this point, everyone stopped. Daniel Zhang held a gun shield, and the first row of soldiers put the wooden shield on the ground and leaned on his leg, and the spear was still leaning on his shoulder to save strength. The spears around him were pointed diagonally at the sky, as dense as a forest.

Daniel Zhang looked at the group of enemy horses slowly coming, and he didn't know if he could still live today, so he couldn't help but take out a piece of letter paper from his arms and read the words on the letter again.

The person who wrote the letter was a beautiful young lady, her surname was Feng, and she had a very poetic girl named Chunhan. Although what was written in the letter was not a good thing, it was said that her family had promised someone else to propose marriage, but after all, it was her own handwriting......

When Daniel Zhang met Feng Chunhan for the first time, his soul seemed to follow her; At the same time, he knew that he could not marry her. Ordinary people from well-to-do families must be unwilling to marry military households. So after he learned the news, he didn't have anything to be sad about, as expected.

The sergeant next to him looked at the letter in Daniel Zhang's hand and raised his head: "Sister-in-law can still read?" ”

Daniel Zhang put away the letter, smiled bitterly and nodded yes.

After a while, I don't know who shouted: "King Han is our king!" ”

Those were the words shouted by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and they were only heard occasionally. Everyone knows that the saint was the king of Han before he became the emperor.

As soon as these familiar words were shouted by the officers and men of the Beijing battalion, countless people immediately became excited, shouting one after another: "Long live ......" The shouts gradually became neat, and "Long live" sounded one after another from several sides...... Hooray".

"Prepare for ......" Yin Desheng's voice was high-pitched and long, thousands

Everyone can hear it clearly.

The army shouted, and the three rows of spearmen and shield soldiers and pikemen in the front and rear were facing the front. People continued to look at the herd of Tatar horses, which had come close to more than a hundred paces.

I don't know who is shouting in the back: "There is no barrier on all sides, retreat or die!" The saint led hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, and Keri came to cover up. Brothers, fight to the death! ”

However, the Tatars did not attack immediately, and they dismounted at about a hundred paces. After a while, a group of Tatars stood on the ground and began to draw their bows. Countless strings sounded, and arrows whistled in the air poured down like rain!

There is no communication between the two sides, and the vast majority of people can't understand each other's language anyway, so they shoot arrows in front of each other!

The arrows struck the armours and shields of the brothers, and there was a "clang-clang" sound. From time to time, someone screamed and fell from the queue to the ground. However, the sergeants in the back row quickly stepped forward and filled the vacant seats for the dead and wounded.

At this time, not far behind, the dense chord sound of the Ming army also sounded, and the thrown arrows quickly flew into the air. In the distance, people shouted and neighed, wounded enemy horses ran wildly, and the dust on the ground gradually filled.

The two sides were separated by a hundred paces, throwing arrows at each other, and there was no intention of continuing to get closer.

In other directions, some Tatar horses were galloping, circling around the Ming army's large array, as if looking for a breakthrough.

However, the large array of the Ming army had no flanks and rear flanks at all; Rather, it is a large hollow array that is almost square, a complete defensive formation, untouchable, and almost the same on all sides.

After a long time, the Tatar archers in front of Yin Desheng's troops mounted their horses and ran backwards. Behind the dust, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and another team of horses rushed in.

On the large array of the Ming army, the sound of "crackling" strings and the whistling sound of arrows piercing the air sounded, and arrows flew like rain towards the enemy horses. Then the generals shouted orders.

The infantry in the first three rows squatted down one after another. The infantry with the opening guns in the back raised the firecrackers.

The enemy cavalry is as close as twenty or thirty paces! They began to make a detour on both sides, running their horses and shooting at the Ming camp at the same time.

The Tatars were so good at archery that they could hit almost every arrow, even on a running horse! Fortunately, the Ming army was well-armoured. And so it was, and there were more dead and wounded than before. "Ah......" screams continued to sound, and more and more people fell to the ground.

Daniel Zhang suddenly heard a "clang", and when he turned his head to look, he saw a brother next to him lying on his back on the ground with an arrow feather stuck in his forehead! The sergeant stared at the sergeant with his eyes wide open, and without saying a word, his shield and spear fell to the ground.

"Boom!" Daniel Zhang's left hand shook, and an arrow was nailed into his wooden shield, and the arrow cluster pierced out from behind! He gritted his teeth and continued to crouch silently on the ground with the brothers around him.

At this moment, the military general finally shouted from behind him: "Release!" ”

The fire gun "bang, bang......" sounded, and Daniel Zhang felt as if it was loud in my head! From time to time in the dust, I saw some Tatars screaming and falling from their horses, and some horses were frightened, neighing and galloping.

Only a short moment later, the roar of the Ming army generals came, followed by a burst of fire.

The choking smell of gunpowder smoke has permeated the crowd. The surroundings were filled with white smoke, the dust in front was hazy, and I saw the black shadows of people and horses running around. The shouts and the sound of horses' hooves were like roaring in front of you.

this

The sun had just risen, but the smoke was so great that the light still seemed to be dim.

"Hiss......" Suddenly a horse rushed out of the smoke like crazy! Daniel Zhang's eyes widened, his spear tightened, and he felt as if the horse was about to step on his head! He heard a drum beat in his chest!

The little flag commander not far away also saw the horse and yelled, "Don't move, take a gun!" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly a burst of fire rang out again, and the horse's head and body were splashed with blood, and he fell to the ground and rolled a few times, his limbs still twitching on the ground.

At this time, the whole land seemed to be boiling, and the enemy army seemed to have launched attacks from many places. The sound of firecrackers from far and near came one after another, and in the vast dust and mist, bursts of firelight flickered, and the sky and earth were filled with "rumbling" noise, and shouts were mixed in between.

The nearby enemy troops ran for a while, and the sound of horses' hooves finally faded away. They never rushed into battle.

The thousand households in the back ordered to change teams. The infantry in front hurriedly turned around and pierced through the gap between the firefighters and the archers. The other three platoons of infantry, in formation, advanced to the front.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly screamed. Daniel Zhang turned his head to follow the sound, and a sergeant was hit by an arrow on his back and fell to the ground. Several people around him hurriedly went up to help him up.

The general shouted twice, and everyone quickly turned around, facing the front, using the cuirplate to face the direction in which the arrow was flying. People were looking at the sky, and from time to time arrows were whistling and flying diagonally. Seeing this movement, the Tatars dismounted again in the distance and began to shoot arrows.

On the huge military array, at this time, it was shrouded in vast dust and mist, and the fire and guns were flickering everywhere. In the middle of the large array, the cavalry lined up, all motionless around the horses.

The Tatar army had some war horses, which ran away as soon as they were released; But the war horses of the Ming army were trained and had long been accustomed to the sound of fire and artillery, and they were not frightened.

There was not only gunsmoke in the air, but also dust. Behind the formations, some sergeants were digging trenches and taking earth ramparts, and they were in full swing and dusty.

Many of the soldiers around Daniel Zhang were brothers from Jingying, and many of them showed blank expressions at this time. However Daniel Zhang in the guard of Datong, he had followed Shangfeng to fight with the Tatars, but he also felt that it was ordinary...... The Tatars fight, and it is rare to rush into close combat as soon as they come, so they will go around like this first!

However, the Tatar cavalry was so dangerous that the brethren sometimes died if they were not careful. The Tatars will not find a way to break the formation until the Ming army counterattacks.

The little flag leader sat down on the ground first, and Daniel Zhang also sat down when he saw this. He held the wooden shield with an arrow in his arms, revealing only one face, and looked up at the arrows that flew in the air from time to time.

After a long time, the sound of guns on all sides gradually subsided. What followed was the painful groaning of the wounded soldiers.

Daniel Zhang couldn't help but be curious, and stood up and looked north. There were still scattered cavalry wandering around the wasteland, but the brigade of Tatars had retreated a mile away.

The sun was still in the east, and it was still early, so the brief battle stopped. The two sides confronted each other, and there was no difficult and vicious battle, and the Tatars did not even try to break the formation...... The Ming army had few cavalry and was difficult to pursue, and the Tatars could not break through the formation, and the situation looked very awkward.
