Chapter 709: Eliminate Evil
();
The location of the city is generally in the plain or low-lying places, especially the grassland, because this can avoid the erosion of wind and sand to the greatest extent, so there are basically hills and other high hill areas around the city.
Chahanhot was built in such a place, almost all around Chahanhot is surrounded by hills, standing on the hills, you can even overlook the entire city.
The Cossack cavalry, without any hindrance, soon reached the hills north of Tsahanhot.
Stanlov rode his horse and stood on the hill, looking at the city below, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a rampant laugh, what idea Wu Keshan played, he could probably guess, but the Ming army gave up such an important strategic position, which is enough to show the incompetence of the commander of the Ming army, what is so terrible about such an army?
When 50,000 Cossack cavalry appeared on the hills, a rapid alarm sounded at the head of the city of Chahanhot, and Stanlov could even see the panicked Ming soldiers at the head of the city.
It was not yet noon, and Stanlov planned to test the attack first to feel the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
"Marshal, what do you think it is?"
Stanlov had just paid attention to the movement at the head of the city, but now he listened to the prompts of his men and lowered his eyes to look at the city.
But I saw that under the hills there were a series of snow ridges like ditches on the ground, starting from the city wall, and the rows extended in the direction of the hills, I couldn't see how long, but it was very pleasing to the eye.
The snow ridge is not high, not even the waist of a person, and the war horse can jump over it in one step.
Stanlov was quite cautious, because he had also heard that the Ming army was very mine-powerful, and with a wave of his hand, a group of cavalry quickly rushed down the hillside.
This is a team of full-time cannon fodder, but after they trampled on more than ten snow ridges in a row, there were no problems.
Seeing this, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and his heart showed that the army was playing tricks! Do you want to use this to delay the offensive of our army?
The cavalry charges, the heaviest galloping momentum, if you can't raise this momentum to the highest in the first time, the morale of the rear will definitely be affected.
He ordered his men to raise the flag and sent a team of 10,000 people to take the lead in the attack.
At the sound of melodious trumpets, 10,000 Cossack cavalry swooped down from the hills, whistling like dark clouds in a violent wind, and rushed towards the city of Chahanhot.
It has been said before that the city walls of Chahanhot are not very high, far from being comparable with the inland cities of the Central Plains, although the war horses can't jump up, but the Cossack cavalry doesn't plan to jump directly into the city.
According to the tactics of the Cossack cavalry, when the army reached a short distance from the city wall, it would split it in two, and then shoot the defenders of the city with their strong bows and crossbows.
The wind and snow rolled up by 10,000 iron horsemen, like an endless huge storm, tumbling forward violently.
Seeing this, Stanlov, who was watching the battle on the hills, couldn't help but show a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, I'm afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty haven't seen such a big battle, right?
"Sloppy..."
The mournful cries of the horses and the screams of the soldiers soon cemented Stanlov's smile on his face.
As far as the eye could see, I saw that the huge storm suddenly stopped without warning a few miles away from the city wall, and it was not a simple stop, as the galloping horses seemed to encounter an invisible wall, and almost all fell in the same place.
The huge inertia made it impossible for the horses behind to stop, and it became a unique Cossack sandwich on top of each other.
Stanlov looked dumbfounded with his mouth wide open, and then a scene that made him even more frightened appeared.
I saw that the row of snow walls closest to the city wall was suddenly knocked down, and then countless black hole cannon barrels were revealed from behind.
Artillery is no longer a rarity in this era, but after decades in the army, Stanlov has never seen so many artillery pieces appear in one place at the same time.
How could there be so much artillery in the Ming Dynasty? Don't be bluffing, right?
While Stanlov was still wondering, more than a hundred artillery pieces finally showed their sharp fangs.
"Boom, boom..."
The huge roar of the artillery soon drowned out all sounds, and the tremors caused by the firing were as if an earthquake had occurred.
Stanlov saw a flash of red light, and then the ground began to jump, and the crotch horse began to neigh uneasily, and this was only the beginning.
As the shells fell into the Cossack cavalry, whether it was the Cossack sandwich or the Cossack cavalry that had not yet rushed to the front, they were suddenly blown to the ground, and the broken corpses flew all over the sky like flying flotsam.
One round of artillery fire completely covered the Cossack cavalry of the first wave, and then the artillery fire began to extend.
The range of the new artillery of the Ming army is already thirty miles away, and it is not a problem at all to hit the hills.
By the time Stanlov realized the problem, it was apparently a little late, because his ranks were so dense that it would take time to disperse and escape.
"Boom, boom..."
As the shells blossomed in Stanlov's rear army, the Cossack army was completely disorganized, and many of the bewildered soldiers, like headless flies, ran in the direction of the city.
In this case, not to mention Stanlov, even if the Romanov comes, it will be just as useless.
In the sound of the explosion, who is in the mood to care about the life and death of the general? Run as fast as you can!
On the city wall, Sun Chuanting, Qi Bingzhong and other generals, one holding a telescope, watched the situation on the battlefield from afar.
For this battle, Ye Xun only has a four-word instruction, that is, "eliminate the evil"
The Chinese language is broad and profound, and another explanation for eliminating evil can also be to kill everything.
Sun Chuanting and Qi Bingzhong understood Ye Xun's spirit very well, and the Cossack army was obviously defeated, but they still did not order a halt to the artillery.
Stanlov didn't expect to die that what the snow ridges wanted to cover was not a mine, but a barbed wire.
Delay the enemy's charge with barbed wire, and then cover it with artillery fire, in this case, if the Cossack cavalry is not defeated, then they are immortals.
Not only that, the 40,000 Ming army iron cavalry was already ready to go behind the east and west city gates, just waiting for the order to attack.
"Lord Sun, according to the scout's report, Wu Keshan has slowed down, if we attack now, although we can completely annihilate the Cossack army, I'm afraid it will also scare Wu Keshan away!"
Listening to Qi Bingzhong's question, Sun Chuanting sighed slightly and said, "General Qi, I won't tell you, I plan to violate the military order once, if Wu Keshan can get lost, I will give him another chance."
Qi Bingzhong frowned and said, "Wu Keshan has already come here, do you want to give him a chance?" ”
Sun Chuanting turned to Qi Bingzhong and said with a solemn face: "It's not that the official wants to disobey his father-in-law's order, but he doesn't want to kill his father-in-law anymore, of course, if Wu Keshan is still obsessed, then it's no wonder that we are."
"Master Sun, I'm afraid that your hard work will not be understood by Wu Keshan!"
Qi Bingzhong is a Mongolian, what is the mind of the tribal khan, he knows too well, if Wu Keshan is really afraid, he will not harm his father.
To put it bluntly, Sun Chuanting is still a bit bookish, and to put it mildly, it is pedantic.
But it seems that there is nothing wrong with what Sun Chuanting said, the killing on Ye Gonggong is really heavy...
