Of course, the Warat people on the hillside also noticed the movement of the Ming army, and the movement of the military flag meant a change in the military formation.

That's what they're waiting for.

The sergeants who had been on duty all night were to be moved to the back to rest, and the sergeants who had just woken up had not yet become excited. The brief chaos caused by the changing of the guard is the opportunity that the Warats have been looking for.

However, this loophole was deliberately exposed to the other party by Daming.

Seeing the Warat people rushing down the hill from three miles away, Zhu Di shouted: "Beat the drum." ”

More than ten big drums on the earth city were sounded neatly, and then, all the big drums that stretched for more than ten miles were beaten, and the drum beat gradually became consistent, which was particularly exciting.

In the neat military formation, a passage dozens of meters wide was vacated, and the cavalry units slowly rushed out from the middle of the large camp.

Before the enemy arrived, they waited for their work, and did not begin to accelerate until the enemy army entered a mile of land.

This kind of scene of thousands of horses galloping is not seen in modern society at all, and the dust splashed by the horses' hooves gradually rises, adding a gray and yellow killing atmosphere to the originally fresh grassland in the morning.

The Warat people themselves did not eat breakfast, of course, they would not leave the Ming army a chance to eat breakfast, even if it was a tentative attack, they had to control the rhythm of the war.

Although it seemed to be menacing, in fact, their attack was very conservative, and the army that rushed out was less than 10,000 people, and it was mainly concentrated on their right flank, the left flank of the Ming army.

Because on the right flank of the Ming army, there is the Shenji battalion that the Warat people fear the most.

The left flank was four or five miles away from the Chinese army, and Zhu Zhanji only saw the Warat people rushing down, and after a while, the dust rose and blocked the view.

In the sound of neat drums and galloping horses' hooves, even the sound of fighting could not be heard.

This made Zhu Zhanji extremely anxious, he didn't expect that he was on the battlefield and couldn't see the battle situation.

Compared with Zhu Zhanji, who was like grass in his heart, Zhu Di was still very calm, and only patted his hand on the city wall, which also revealed his excitement at this time.

A gust of east wind blew, and the scene on the battlefield was finally revealed again.

In the telescope, the contact between the two armies was not deep, and the Warats did not dare to penetrate too deeply, they were all cavalry battles, and it was easy for them to run.

But if you are surrounded by the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, you can certainly kill a few more people, but it is not easy to run.

This was only a tentative attack, and the Warats were far from desperate.

Although this scene of hand-to-hand combat does not have the grandeur of modern gunfights, it is more brutal than gunfights.

Because a shootout is just a matter of pulling the trigger, and now, all the people have to use knives to cut each other's bodies.

One knife often can't be killed, and a few knives have to be supplemented, and many people are covered in blood almost as soon as they come into contact. Some are their own blood, and more are the blood of their opponents.

Don't talk about killing people, let modern people kill pigs and cows, many people can't do it. And now, they are killing their own kind.

Zhu Zhanji was not afraid at all, in modern times he personally killed hundreds of people, and when he first killed those Somali pirates, the corpses filled a ship.

Seeing this situation, all the tyrannical cells in his body became active one by one.

His hands couldn't help but tremble, Zhu Di's eyes stared at the battlefield, and Yu Guang saw his trembling hands. "Scared?"

"No, my grandson is not afraid, just excited."

Zhu Di laughed and said, "I don't need you to go to the battlefield yet, just watch!" ”

At this time, a new force rushed from a distance, trying to join the Warats on the left flank.

Zhu Di waved his hand, the drum beat changed, and a banner of 3,000 battalions was erected beside him.

The 3,000 battalions, which had long been ready to attack, also drove their horses out of the queue and directly met the enemy troops.

The predecessor of the 3,000 Battalion was the Mengyuan people who gathered it, because there were 3,000 grassland warriors at the beginning, so it was named the 3,000 Battalion.

Although the 3,000 battalion has now expanded to nearly 10,000 people, the name has not changed.

The 3,000 battalion is different from the 5th military battalion, all of its subordinates are cavalry, although the number of this cavalry unit is not large, but it is the most powerful cavalry force under Zhu Di, and they mainly play the role of assault in the war.

The commanders are all majestic Mengyuan men, who usually look honest, but when they fight, they are desperate, and they are known as desperate Saburo.

This person was originally a slave of Mengyuan, and he hated Mengyuan people to the core, and there were almost no prisoners under him.

At this time, the battlefield was less than a thousand meters away from Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, and even without a telescope, they could see clearly.

There is no difference in the combat effectiveness of the 3,000 battalions and the Warats, they are all the same nation, and they are all veterans of a hundred battles, and their battles are also particularly tragic.

With the 3,000 battalions going into battle, Zhu Di's side erected banners one after another, and the infantry phalanx also began to attack forward.

Unlike the scattered cavalry, the infantry phalanx kept a neat pace, especially the pikemen in the front row, which did not spread out even in the course of the attack.

This kind of discipline made Zhu Zhanji's judgment of the combat effectiveness of soldiers in the early Ming Dynasty also greatly improved, and this momentum almost completely subverted his view of the quality of ancient soldiers.

He remembered a movie "Gladiator" he had watched, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty may not be as good as those Westerners in terms of physique, but this kind of discipline is not weaker than the Roman legions in the movie.

Seeing the Ming Dynasty's forward infantry dispatched, another team of Wara cavalry rushed over. According to the scale of the attack, nearly half of the Warats have been dispatched, but less than one-tenth of the Ming army has been dispatched.

However, this army was not added to attack, but only to put pressure on the Ming cavalry, and then let the Warat cavalry who were caught in the battlefield withdraw from the battlefield.

When Zhu Di saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Warat people are going to retreat." ”

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Grandpa Huang, why don't you let the archers go out, but instead use the cavalry to go out and have a hard time with the other party?" ”

"We have bows, and so do them. The fast horse gallops, and the fast shot at close range is only two rounds, and the effect is limited. Positional warfare is non-contact warfare, the two sides fight bravely, and when the Warats enter the firing range, the archers have a limited role. What's more, the other side only has more than 30,000 people, but our army has 100,000 cavalry, if they can't subdue the Warat people head-on, how can they admit defeat? ”

"Then why not pursue?"

"Now that our army has not eaten, even if the pursuit cannot last, I am even more afraid that they will not escape and return, so I will leave a little hope for Mahamu for the time being, and then clean them up after a while."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji was still a little puzzled, Zhu Di added: "Don't worry, Mahamu will not stop there in order to prove his ability to other tribes." ”

Zhu Zhanji found that when he thinks about problems with modern thinking, he often does not fit in with this era.

Some very simple realizations, I think I am superior to the present, but in the end I find that it is not suitable for the present at all.

And some of the thinking of these ancient people made him find it even more difficult to understand.

Fortunately, he is the grandson, he is the emperor's favorite grandson, except for a few people, he doesn't have to accommodate others at all.

If he hadn't crossed over to become a grandson, but an ordinary person, I'm afraid that in addition to rebellion, he would have to be a pirate.

Otherwise, with his character, he would not be able to endure it for a day in this depressing era.

There was a faint sound of horns on the opposite side, and in the sound of fighting on the battlefield, it could not be heard at all if you were not careful.

And the drumbeat on Daming's side also stopped, and the copper cymbal was struck, which is also known as the Mingjin retreat.

Zhu Zhanji bowed down and clenched his fists and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to visit the injured sergeant, and I hope that Grandpa Huang's permission will be granted." ”

At this time, it is a good time to win over people's hearts, although Zhu Zhanji can't directly win over the generals, but if he sells well in front of the soldiers, Zhu Di shouldn't care.

After listening to Zhu Zhanji's request, Zhu Di hesitated for a moment and said: "It's rare that you have this mind, put on my honor guard, and greet the wounded sergeant on my behalf." ”

Only when you enter the battlefield can you clearly appreciate the cruelty of war in this era.

Under the backward medical foundation, injuries, especially serious injuries and internal injuries, often represent the end of a life.

Although the Ming Dynasty is in a passive position in the battle situation, it firmly occupies the upper hand on the battlefield.

The retreating soldiers of the Warats, the wounded soldiers, the fallen soldiers, were also left on the battlefield.

Those seriously wounded soldiers were directly mended by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then their heads were cut off.

They didn't care about the bloodshed of the battlefield at all, carrying the heads of people who were still dripping blood, and happily reported to the prison officers.

This head of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is a real twenty taels of silver, which is more than half a year's salary according to the income of today's soldiers.

If one of them kills a few enemies and marries a wife, all the money for building a house will be earned.

When I came to the wounded barracks, the atmosphere here was much more depressing.

Although under the influence of Zhu Zhanji, the army recruited many military doctors. But these military doctors can only treat some external injuries, serious internal injuries, or external injuries with broken hands and feet, and can only resign themselves to fate.

Therefore, many soldiers are surrounded by close colleagues, taking their last words back while they are not dead.

Zhu Zhanji put on a posture of the leaders visiting the heroes on TV in later generations, without the slightest shelf, and condoled everyone one by one.

His appearance also made everyone extremely excited, and some lightly injured soldiers even knelt down excitedly, moved to tears.

One of the soldiers, who was not yet twenty years old, did not cry when his left hand was broken. But Zhu Zhanji just said a few good words in a harmonious voice, and he cried excitedly like a child.

And people like him still account for more than half, and for them, Taisun and them are the difference between heaven and earth.

In his heart, Zhu Zhanji is still a little happy, and this kind of solidified class concept is something that he is happy to see.

The battle lasted less than an hour, but the casualties on both sides exceeded five hundred.

Nearly 100 of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty died on the spot, and nearly 100 others became crippled even if they could not die.

But the losses of the Warats were even greater, and they left behind at least four hundred men, only a few of whom were left to be tied up for their lives.

However, the war is not over yet, and what awaits them is the torture and interrogation of Jinyiwei, and I am afraid that life will be worse than death.
