Chapter 53: Defeat and Escape (Ask for Recommendation)

However, the Warats underestimated the sharpness of the Ming Dynasty's firearms, and they used the old tactics to counter the new tactics of the Ming Dynasty, which was their most wrong point.

They wanted to kill more Ming people, and Da Ming also thought the same, so in order to prevent them from fleeing in fear, although the firearms battalion had been set up at noon, it had not been dispatched.

Now, when their whole army was dispatched, the three shots of the soldiers of the 6,000 firearms battalion could ensure that 2,000 people could shoot at the same time each time, and this great power made the Warats quickly taste the suffering.

In the morning, Mahamu had been preserving his strength and trying to consume the strength of the royal court, but now they were at the forefront, and their tribe was the most severely injured.

Before they could rush down the mountain, at least more than 3,000 of their soldiers had fallen from their horses, and those who had fallen from their horses, even if they had not been killed by the firearms, would have been trampled to death by the galloping horses behind.

Seeing his sons die one by one, Mahamu's heart is dripping blood. He didn't expect that Da Ming's firearms were so powerful, and it was this error of judgment that caused one-third of his more than 10,000 soldiers to be killed or wounded.

And the living soldiers were also shocked, this was the first time they faced a large-scale firearms attack, and this attack was beyond their imagination.

However, this desperate situation also stimulates their desire to survive, and in order to survive, they can only rush forward without hesitation.

The right flank and the middle lane of the Ming Dynasty faced the impact of more than 20,000 soldiers who wanted to live, and due to the large number of people in the middle lane, neither Taiping nor Mahamu could shake the formation.

But the Divine Machine Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, and the Tatars on the right flank faced the already frantic Warats.

Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji saw that the role of artillery on the battlefield this time was not great, because the transfer was slow and could not keep up with the enemy's speed at all.

Now, after the enemy stormed the barracks, the role of artillery was even less.

In front of him, the right wing was facing tremendous pressure, Zhu Di did not hesitate at all, raised the saber in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Right wing impact!" ”

As he shouted, all the eunuchs immediately shouted in unison, and as soon as the drums changed, the military flag waved, and the elite cavalry from the Beijing army and the border army immediately all went out and chased after him.

Zhu Zhanji had been waiting for Zhu Di's order for a long time, he was not far away from Zhu Di, and he heard Zhu Di's shout for the first time, and he also took the lead in driving his horse forward.

Seeing him take the lead, Xuan Zhen and Yiqingzi formed the left and right protectors to protect his sides.

And Yang Zhangde and the others also took Zhu Zhanji as the center point and rushed out from behind. The remaining 2,400 Yulin Left Guards are Zhu Zhanji's core strength.

The 2,400 men have not been dispatched for two days. And if you want to make a success, this is the last chance.

Zhu Di led the army to gallop to the right flank, but found that his grandson had already rushed to the front, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed directly from the flank into the horse team of the Warats.

After rushing into the horse team, Zhu Zhanji felt that in the course of this kind of war, there was no place for personal force to be used, and most importantly, it was combat experience.

The Warats are all three horses per man, or even four horses per man, and most of the horses in the team are empty. So the first thing they have to deal with is not to face the enemy, but to prevent those horses from going berserk.

It was also because of these extra horses that Warat dared to collide head-on with Daming and had the confidence to escape. If it was just a single horse, they wouldn't be able to run if they died a horse, and they didn't dare to fight with the Ming Dynasty at all.

However, the emergence of firearms has made them suffer, and this new type of weapon has directly broken their confidence and severely damaged their lineup.

The horse that Zhu Zhanji rides today is an Akhal-Tejin horse, which is the so-called sweat-blooded horse in later generations, this kind of horse is taller and stronger than ordinary Mongolian horses, so after he rushed into the herd, those Mongolian horses were afraid of his horse, and did not cause him much trouble.

Raising the meteorite blade in his hand, he slashed at a Warat man in front of him on the left.

His posture was a little uncomfortable, but the other party happened to be handy, seeing Zhu Zhanji's extraordinary outfit, his face showed surprise, and he slashed diagonally with a scimitar in his hand.

The horizontal knife collided with the sabre, and the smile on the face of the Warat quickly froze. Because his scimitar was directly cut in two, and Zhu Zhanji's horizontal knife did not change direction at all, and slashed at his right shoulder.

The other party screamed miserably, and fell to the right, Zhu Zhanji handed the horizontal knife in his left hand, swung it hard, and cut his head directly with only a layer of skin.

His horse hesitated to lower his speed, but Zhu Zhanji's horse did not slow down at all, which also caused the blood spurting from his crooked chest cavity to spray Zhu Zhanji's left leg directly, turning him into a bloody man.

The smell of some fishy blood was a little unpleasant, but it could stimulate his adrenaline rush. He returned the knife to his right hand and took the reins of his horse in his left hand, looking for his next opponent.

Hyun Jin, who was located in the back of his left, was a little slower than him, and he was also splashed with blood from his trouser leg, and he felt like vomiting when he looked at the flesh and blood exposed from the man's neck.

He couldn't understand why Zhu Zhanji hadn't killed anyone before, but why he was not afraid of killing people at all.

And Yang Zhangde, who was following behind Xuan Zhen, saw Zhu Zhanji's skillful killing actions, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He thought he was ruthless enough, but at the age of sixteen, don't talk about killing, he is afraid of even killing a pig!

However, this also made him realize Zhu Zhanji's ruthlessness, and he warned himself in his heart not to betray this highness.

The army of the Warats was blocked by the Tatars, and although the two peoples were almost the same people, heretics were more hateful than enemies.

Therefore, the fight between them is even more tragic.

And the Tatar blockade gave Zhu Zhanji more opportunities to kill, his sweaty BMW was amazingly fast, although he deliberately controlled the speed, but still caught up with the Warats faster than the others.

The pleasure of killing made him excited, and with a horizontal knife in his hand, he spotted a man in armor.

Compared with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, the poor people of Warat can't even afford to eat salt, they are not like the army of the Ming Dynasty, which has a standard military uniform, but completely relies on personal ability to arm themselves.

Being able to wear armor is definitely a big shot among the Warats.

The other party was originally shocked when he saw Zhu Zhanji riding a sweaty BMW. But then seeing that he was a hairy child, he showed a cruel smile, and rode his horse to meet Zhu Zhanji.

"I know you, you are the grandson of Emperor Daming, kill you...... Yes! ”

Zhu Zhanji shook the blood beads on the horizontal knife and moved his wrist twice. "The villain's failure often lies in too much nonsense."

In terms of force, he was not stronger than the other party, and the two knives collided, and his wrist was somewhat contusive under the opponent's fierce blow. But his horizontal knife was really powerful, and the opponent's saber was directly cut off, and then Zhu Zhanji split his head in half with a knife.

Xuan Zhen looked at the white, red, leaking out of his head like tender tofu, and couldn't control himself anymore, so he vomited on his horse.

Although he has profound skills, he is a monk after all, and he has never experienced this scene at all.

Zhu Zhanji didn't see this scene, because he was already excited to find someone else.

Yang Zhangde rushed up and filled Xuan Zhen's position. "Senior brother, you are a monk, and the battlefield is not where you came, let me protect Your Highness for you."

He quickened his speed and rushed towards a soldier who was about to sneak attack Zhu Zhanji from the side, stabbed the opponent in the abdomen with a knife, and with a flick of his wrist, he disemboweled.

"Your Highness, I'm here to help you!"

Zhu Zhanji turned his head to take a look, just in time to see the soldier fall off his horse. He laughed and said, "Then let's compare and see who has more heads!" ”

But at this time, it is no longer a one-man battle. The guards of Yulin's left guard hurriedly chased after them, forming a fan shape to protect Zhu Zhanji's left and right sides.

Zhu Zhanji no longer had any worries, he formed an arrow with the people around him, and directly inserted it into the Warat army.

The Yulin Left Guard was one of the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, so their addition quickly turned the tide on the battlefield. Their battle with the Warats was almost one-sided.

Of course, this is not to say that the Yulin Left Guard is stronger than the Warats, but the Ming standard armor on their bodies has played a big role.

The Warat army has always been dominated by light cavalry, and by relying on the mobility of light cavalry, they have conquered Asia and most of Europe.

But if they lose room to impact, they definitely can't compete with the better protected Yulinwei.

Zhu Zhanji, who was at the forefront of the arrow, didn't have to worry about the sides and behind him, his horizontal knife kept switching back and forth between his two hands, and almost all the enemies on front were not his enemies.

The fact that he was able to achieve such an excellent record came from his rich combat experience and flexible skills in his previous life, and more importantly, this meteorite horizontal knife was too powerful.

And Mahamu, who rushed to the front, couldn't help but cry when he saw such a result. In his eyes, the invincible Warat cavalry had no power to fight back when faced with firearms.

And the damage caused by firearms to the Warat cavalry was not only physical, but also psychological.

At the beginning of the battle, they lost a third of their men, and all their confidence was shattered.

He could not watch his people being slaughtered again, and if the Ming army surrounded them, they would have no chance to escape.

So he let out a long sigh and commanded left and right: "Blow the trumpet!" ”

Now they no longer want to kill how many Tatars and how many Ming people they kill, the first thing he has to think about is to flee quickly with the living people and save his strength.

However, the Ming and Tatars would not let them escape easily, and everyone rose up to kill and chased after them.

(A little off-topic.) In the second Northern Expedition in history, the Ming Dynasty crippled the Warat people, and the princes killed more than a dozen. Mahamu was then captured and killed by Arutai, and his only surviving son, Tohuan, was also captured by Arutai as a slave. For more than ten years, the Varat people only dared to operate near Lake Baikal and did not dare to go south. It wasn't until the son of Tuhuan also rose first, and finally unified the various peoples of the grassland, that Warat recovered.

But in the pen of the literati, Zhu Di's Northern Expedition was a great success, a waste of money and food. said that Zhu Di killed thousands of people, and said that the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. However, this positional battle in history was the first time that the firearms of the Shenji Battalion really exerted their might, and when they were fighting, the three-stage attack of thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion directly disabled the Warat people. None of the literati themselves could justify themselves, because they could not deny the existence of firearms, and in the end they only described it in vague terms.

Just think about it, the Warat people who fought a war have declined for decades, and they dare not go south, and Meng Yuan never dares to fight with the Ming Dynasty from now on, it can already be seen how successful Zhu Di's Northern Expedition was. As for the next three Northern Expeditions, they were not fought against Wara, but against Arutai, and Arutai fled every time, so they did not achieve greater results. Zhu Di's cultural rule will not be evaluated for the time being, and his martial arts definitely exceed more than 90% of the emperors in history. And the history of the Ming Dynasty ...... It's unbelievable! )
