The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, rolling in the dust of the sky, and Ma Du clearly felt his legs and stomach tremble with the earth, and he pinched his legs twice to make himself look less bad.

The enemy army slowly stopped a few miles away, quickly changed to empty horses, regrouped in front, and confronted the Ming army at a distance of three miles. Xu Da held the binoculars and muttered softly, "Ten thousand, one thousand, one thousand, one thousand, one thousand, fourteen...... Hmph, some of them hit this time! ”

Without waiting for the Ming army to make a move, the Yuan army has already begun to move. It was not the galloping of thousands of horses as Ma Du imagined, the other party only divided a few cavalry teams of about 1,000 people, and wandered far away outside the Ming army's formation.

"Tell the gunner to wait for the opportunity to fire!"

"Tell the gunner to wait for the opportunity to fire!" Ma Du mechanically passed Xu Da's orders, and his mind was blank anyway.

A group of cavalry of the Yuan army, which was wandering outside the formation, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the array of the Ming army, and at the same time, they had already begun to draw their bows and arrows in their hands, and they would only wait for a rain of arrows to be sprinkled on the Ming army's military formation when they reached the range.

It's a pity that they are destined not to have the opportunity to shoot this arrow in their hands, and before they can get close to the outermost Ming army, they dodge their bodies and let go of a few black holes.

Boom Boom! After a few cannon shots, a cylinder burst into flames, and then turned into a projectile in the sky. The rider at the front of the gallop did not have time to shout, and his towering chest was collapsed by several projectiles, and he fell off the horse with a stream of blood spurting out of his wide open mouth.

Anyone who was hit by a projectile, whether it was a person or a horse, was either killed or injured, and the death was even more miserable, with blood and brains bursting out. It is impossible to expect a few artillery pieces to kill a cavalry team of 1,000 people, although the momentum is not small, the number of killed enemies is less than 100 people, but the important thing is to disrupt the formation of this group of cavalry, and the frightened war horses and wolves rush forward.

Chang Mao, who has been promoted to the general flag of the artillery battalion, laughed, "Son of a, I really can't help but beat it!" He said to the cavalry next to him: "What are you still doing stupidly, it's time for you to play!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, a group of cavalry rushed out of the ranks of the Ming army and killed the disorganized Yuan cavalry. This detachment of Yuan cavalry naturally could not kill the well-formed Ming army, and immediately scattered and fled after losing some men and horses.

Another Yuan army hurriedly came to the rescue, and shot arrows from a distance, and many Ming troops fell from their horses. The cavalry of the Ming army was actually more brave than the Yuan army when it came to charging on horseback, but when it came to riding and shooting, it was much worse than these peoples on horseback.

However, the Ming army now has more convenient and powerful weapons, seeing that the Yuan army collected the bow and arrows and covered it with a knife, he hurriedly took out a grenade from the small jacket on the horseback, and bit off the string violently, seeing that the tail end of the wooden handle was smoking, and hurriedly threw it far away, turned around and ran.

When seeing that Nanban's hidden weapon did not hit them, the Yuan army continued to chase while laughing, and suddenly burst out with the fire under him, accompanied by bursts of thunder and billowing smoke, this Yuan army turned on his back for a while, and the Ming army, which had fled for his life just now, immediately turned around and killed.

With the sound of artillery from time to time, four such war groups were gradually formed in front of the two armies, and with the continuous investment of troops on both sides, the war groups were also getting bigger and bigger, and the soldiers on both sides were entangled layer by layer, but they were clearly divided into each other, and they did not become a pot of porridge.

Can the battle still be fought like this? In Madu's impression, most of the ancient encounters were fought by both sides, the strikers fought each other, the weak side turned around and fled, and the strong side then covered up.

Xu Da suddenly smiled: "Actually, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and I am afraid that this situation will only occur when the combat strength of the two sides is equal." ”

"The handsome is not equal in strength, we obviously have an advantage!"

The Ming army had a large number of people on one side and grenades to help them, although they failed to defeat the enemy for a while, but they clearly had an advantage. In particular, the cavalry under Guo Ying's command was trained by him to even lead men and horses, and he used a small group of men and horses to rush left and right in the ranks of the Yuan army, throwing down a few grenades and running away, and the Yuan army was embarrassed.

Xu Dadao: "After running such a long way, we immediately launched an attack regardless of the fatigue of the people and horses, and we have already lost to be able to fight like this!" While the two were talking, they saw that one of the battle groups had a Yuan cavalry of about 1,000 people to get rid of the entanglement of the Ming army and kill Xu Da's location.

Xu Da sneered, "I'm dead!" Tang Ding looks at you, don't say that Uncle Xu didn't take care of you! ”

"Don't worry!" Tang Ding shouted loudly: "The musket battalion has changed formation!" ”

With his order, the originally loose ranks of the musket battalion immediately became tighter, originally there were only fifty men in each platoon, but now it suddenly became a hundred, and the length of the array became only one-third of what it used to be.

"Shoot!"

Immediately, there were 20 gunners who each led the tiger squat cannon to the front of the battle, this tiger squat cannon is only a few dozen catties, and the strong soldiers can carry it with one hand when they are used, and of course they have to rely on carriages and horses for transportation in ordinary times.

If this tiger squat cannon hits a single iron bullet, it is barely 300 steps, and if it is replaced with a scattered bullet, it is less than 100 steps, but it has already exceeded the range of an ordinary riding bow.

"Get shot!"

Several more platoons of men came out of the line, each with a spear more than a foot long, standing behind the gunner, and holding the spear diagonally on the ground in a half-crouching position, which was specially prepared for dealing with the cavalry.

The galloping soldiers were getting closer and closer, holding the reins in one hand and the saber in the other, Ma Du stood beside Xu Da, and he could clearly see their hideous and vicious expressions, and his fierce momentum was daunting.

Tang Ding, who was standing on the side of the phalanx, looked like a born calf who was not afraid of tigers, and his expression was rare and calm, seeing that the Yuan army and them only had less than a hundred steps left. He shouted loudly in a hoarse voice: "Fire!" ”

The twenty gunners had already prepared the fire fold, and as soon as Tang Ding gave the order, he immediately lit the fuse and boomed...... After a burst of explosion, I saw dense projectiles flying out, like flying locusts in the sky.

The galloping Yuan army was beaten to a stagnation, and everything that was hit by the projectile was sprayed with a large area of blood mist from the bodies of the people and horses, and then they fell to the ground screaming and screaming, either stumbling down the comrades behind them, or being trampled into flesh by the hooves of the horses that followed.

By the time the Yuan army rushed out of the artillery attack, the number had already decreased by two percent, and the gunners hurriedly picked up the cannon legs to dodge, leaving only the spearmen at the front swallowing and spitting while waiting for the arrival of the Yuan army.

The Yuan army was getting closer and closer, and seeing that it was within the range of the musket, Tang Ding hurriedly ordered, "Shoot!" ”

Bang bang bang......

The gunners in the first row then pulled the trigger, and immediately the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and immediately after they finished fighting, they reloaded their ammunition in a half-crouched position, and no one dared to stand up, otherwise the people behind would most likely blow their heads, followed by the second row, and then the third row...... Fight all the way to the fifth row. Then the fifth row fired, but instead of the sixth, the first row reloaded.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Yuan army crashed directly into the spears in front of the formation......
