At this time, the main Mongolian army, which was still waiting in formation outside the Gubeikou Pass, also discovered the Ming reinforcements that were approaching, and immediately began to change the formation and drove over to meet the Ming army that came to support.

The Ming army that came to support was the army of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer of Lintao, who came to guard the pass by Liu Yunwei, the prince of Fengzhen. The two of them rushed towards Gubeikou day and night, because the soldiers of the army were mainly foot soldiers, although they tried their best to hurry, they were still a little slower than the Mongolian iron cavalry army, and did not enter the pass to defend the city before the Mongolian iron cavalry.

There were 30,000 soldiers under the command of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, including 5,000 iron cavalry; There are a total of 20,000 soldiers under the command of Cao Wenzhao, the chief officer of Lintao, of which 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers are all concentrated in the hands of Cao Bianjiao, a staff general.

At this time, Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao led the army of soldiers to rush to the front, with the Qin army soldiers under the command of Sun Chuanting as the forerunner, 30,000 soldiers formed three huge 10,000 people phalanx in front, Cao Wenzhao led 20,000 soldiers to form 20,000 people in the rear, the Qin army of 5,000 iron cavalry to protect the left wing of the army, Cao Bianjiao led 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers under his command to protect the right wing of the army.

In this way, the Ming army's large array drove until it was three miles away from the main army of 80,000 Mongols before it stopped, and began to prepare for battle.

Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao ordered one after another, and all the horses and carts in the generals were pushed to the front of the army to block the charge of the Mongolian iron cavalry; Then, thirty guns of various types carried by the generals were set up in front of the battle, and the musketeers and archers of the Qin army were also assembled, ready to use dense firepower to contain the charging momentum of the Mongol iron cavalry.

After everything was deployed, Cao Wenzhao rode his horse to the Qin army formation, and said to Sun Chuanting with an unkind face: "Sun Du, this battle is not easy to fight!" There are at least 100,000 Mongolian iron horsemen in front of Gubeikou Pass! ”

Sun Chuanting also looked grim at this time, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the Mongolian iron cavalry army that was deploying troops in the distance.

"Fight! Although the Mongols have the advantage of military strength and iron cavalry, the sons and daughters under our command are not muddy! Didn't Zhen Guogong support our twenty god machine gun trucks before leaving? Now pull them out, let's fight for a big battle to hit the Tartars, and take the opportunity to enter the customs! ”

Cao Wenzhao nodded heavily, saluted Sun Chuanting, and then turned on his horse and returned to the rear formation.

At the same time, Sun Chuanting also ordered twenty Shenji artillery carts to be pushed into front of the battle, preparing to block the upcoming Mongol offensive.

It didn't take long for the Mongol army against Sun Chuanting and Cao Wenzhao to complete the deployment, and the 80,000 iron cavalry were divided into three routes, with 10,000 iron cavalry deployed on the left and right, and the remaining 60,000 iron cavalry were all assembled in front of the Ming army's large array.

Sun Chuanting looked at the menacing Mongolian army, couldn't help but gasp, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the Tartars are preparing to decide the victory in a battle, and they are attacking in three ways!" ”

Then, Sun Chuanting looked at Gubeikou Guancheng, which was fighting fiercely, and was very worried: "I hope the defenders of Gubeikou can hold on!" ”

Although the situation was extremely grim at this time, Sun Chuanting was still full of fighting spirit. Previously, Sun Chuanting had been leading the army to fight fiercely with the army of thieves, although he had also made a lot of achievements, but it could not be compared with the conquest of the Tartars!

"This time, the governor will deal a heavy blow to the Tartars and make the first contribution to the Northern Expedition of the Great Army!"

After making up his mind, Sun Chuanting ordered the whole army to fight, and the morale of the 30,000 Qin soldiers was greatly boosted, and the war drums in the army were also beaten, and the sound shook all over the field.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao in the rear also ordered his 20,000 soldiers to prepare for battle, and beat the war drums to echo the Qin soldiers in front.

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded in the distance, and then the 80,000 Mongol army launched a charge together, rushing towards the 50,000 Ming soldiers.

Thousands of horses galloping, dusty in the air. Hu Lu roared, and the sound spread to the four fields.

Sun Chuanting stared at the front with a cold face, and saw that the Mongolian iron cavalry had rushed into the range of the artillery, so he snorted coldly, raised the war knife in his hand high, and then chopped it off violently.

"Fire!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Thirty artillery pieces of various types in front of the Ming army opened fire almost at the same time, and the huge roar instantly covered the sound of the iron hooves of the 80,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and dozens of cannons dragging thick smoke smashed straight into the dense iron cavalry army.

The Mongolian cavalry army that was charging at high speed suffered a blow to the head, and many brave and warlike Mongolian cavalry were beaten to pieces by the scorching cannons before they had time to exert their strength.

Although the number of Mongolian horsemen directly killed and injured by artillery was not large, those flying limbs and corpses under their horses tripped up one after another from behind. In the course of the charge of the Iron Cavalry, the Mongols were trampled to death even more than the artillery! For a time, the vanguard of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry Army turned on their backs and was in chaos!

Soon, with the high-speed charge of the Mongol iron cavalry army, the distance between the two sides was less than a mile.

At this time, Sun Chuanting immediately ordered the iron cavalry soldiers on the left and right flanks to take the initiative to attack and entangle the 20,000 Mongolian iron cavalry who were killing towards the two wings of the army. At the same time, Sun Chuanting ordered twenty divine machine gun trucks to open fire!

"Ready! Put! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Twenty artillery trucks can shoot thousands of powerful rockets in a single wave, enough to cover the vanguard of the Mongol Iron Cavalry Army. Moreover, unlike artillery and guns, the Shenji gun carriage requires complicated steps in the reloading process; After the gun truck finishes firing a round, it only needs to replace the shooting frame, and the shooting speed is extremely fast, and even as long as the ammunition is enough, it can continue to fight, forming an endless network of firepower!

Sun Chuanting looked at the Mongolian iron cavalry army in front of him who was in chaos by the divine machine gun carriage, and said to the herald soldiers beside him: "Pass the order!" Shoot all the rockets at once! At the same time, tell the musketeers and archers, and order the soldiers to prepare for battle! ”

The twenty Shenji artillery carriages in front of the Ming army have been fighting seventeen rounds! The Mongolian iron cavalry army, which had obviously rushed to within a mile, was blocked, and it was impossible to rush to the Ming army, but paid a heavy price of more than 3,000 people!

It is no wonder that the current Mongol army is no longer the terrifying existence of Genghis Khan's time. Not only is the armor rate of the army only less than one percent, far less than seventy percent in the era of Genghis Khan, but even the combat strength of the soldiers in the army is far behind, and the tactics of the army have not changed, and most of them are stiff and directly charge into battle. Even the Mongolian iron cavalry that swept the world back then has been lost in many Mongolian tribes, not because no one can, but the current Mongolian army can no longer gather many elite iron cavalry capable of riding and shooting, at best it can only allocate some harassing forces!

Finally, when the Ming army's divine machine artillery car stopped shooting, the Mongolian iron cavalry army, which had already been hit with real fire, immediately reorganized its formation and killed it, preparing to directly step through the infantry formation of the Ming army and kill the damn Ming army in front of them!

"Ready! Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Ready! Put! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

More than 1,000 musketeers and 2,000 archers in front of the Ming army opened fire together, and they hit the Mongols who had just regrouped again, and immediately beat the advance of the Mongol iron cavalry army to the point that they were on their backs and stopped.

With the speed of the Mongol front army greatly reduced, the war horses could only even trot on the battlefield, resulting in the main army behind being forced to reduce the speed of the war horses.

Sun Chuanting saw the opportunity and immediately ordered 30,000 Qin soldiers to launch a counterattack, and the 30,000 Qin soldiers pushed the cart in front of the formation and slowly advanced, and the three huge phalanxes soon collided with the Mongolian iron cavalry army. Cao Wenzhao, who was in the rear, also immediately led his 20,000 soldiers to follow closely and advance forward together.

Relying on the cart in front of the battle, 30,000 soldiers of the Qin army formed a huge spear array, and the 80,000 Mongolian iron cavalry army was inseparable. Since the Mongol cavalry had lost its most important speed, there was no room for resistance in the face of the spears that pierced like a jungle.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and the Mongols, who had the advantage in strength, not only did not break through the Ming army's large array, but were also killed and injured by the Ming army's soldiers relying on the carts in front of the battle and rejecting horses. The two sides soon fell into a stalemate, and neither could break the deadlock in a short time!

Cao Wenzhao looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him, his heart was anxious, and he sent people to ask Sun Chuanting to fight several times, but Sun Chuanting refused.

Sun Chuanting ordered Cao Wenzhao to guard the rear of the army, wait for his orders, and not attack at will.

The middle battlefield is fighting, and the left and right flanks are also killing the sky, the Ming army iron cavalry and the Mongolian iron cavalry back and forth to hedge, the two sides do not give in to each other, for a time the corpses are all over the field, blood flowed like a river.

At this time, the general Cao Bianjiao led 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers under his command to shake 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, and the iron cavalry soldiers were not afraid, and under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, they directly broke into the Mongolian iron cavalry formation and rushed back and forth, severely damaging the 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry on the right wing of the battlefield.

The two sides fought for nearly an hour, and the 2,000 iron cavalry soldiers under Cao Bianjiao had killed more than 600 people, but they killed and wounded at least 3,000 Mongolian iron cavalry!

"Kill!"

Cao Bianjiao shot and killed a Mongolian centurion who rushed over, then snatched his body in his hand with his backhand, threw it into the crowd in front of him with all his strength, and instantly knocked down a Mongolian iron horseman.

Seeing this, the morale of the surrounding Ming soldiers was greatly boosted, and they roared angrily and then covered up the killing, and suddenly hit a small climax, killing more than 7,000 Mongolian iron cavalry more than ten steps back!

However, with the passage of time, the inferiority of the Ming army's iron cavalry in terms of strength gradually appeared, and gradually some could not withstand the impact of the 7,000 Mongolian iron cavalry.

Cao Bianjiao was anxious when he saw this, and suddenly a figure broke in, Cao Bianjiao was suddenly overjoyed, and shouted loudly: "The Tartar Lord will be over there!" Kill it! Kill me! ”
