The Mongols are indeed going to charge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Nearly 100,000 people against less than 10,000 Ming troops, the key is that it is obvious that these Ming troops do not have a large number of cavalry, and this battle can be fought.

If it was an elite cavalry composed of Neiding led by many Ming army generals, even if it was less than 10,000 people, the Mongols would not fight. Even if you win the Ming army, the other party is a pure cavalry and there is no way to expand the results, because the equipment and combat power of your side are not as good as the Ming army, the battle loss ratio has always been a loss, and the hard battle is not able to fight without fighting.

The Ming army in front of them looked at the fact that although the equipment was gorgeous, almost all of them were infantry, and Huo Luochi and the others made up their minds at the first time that in order to capture Yulin, they must fight this battle.

As for the artillery, Huo Luochi and Ka Luchen and others didn't pay attention to it, the artillery of the Ming army was like this, and there were dozens of artillery pieces in the city, so what?

……

There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the wilderness, and a group of hundreds of cavalry of a brigade swarmed from the west, and they were in groups of three or five hundred, and the ground was full of these cavalry of hundreds of people, which was also a kind of Mongolian cavalry warfare method, swarming, scattering and galloping, creating a kind of invincible momentum of thousands of troops and horses.

This time the cavalry was originally numerous, and the cavalry of the set had a fierce temperament, and when they ran, they still shouted loudly, like wolves on the grassland surrounding their prey.

"!" A military attache scolded: "Beiyu is always like this, not too boring!" ”

Another military attache said: "This is a set, and I haven't suffered our losses." ”

All the military attachés laughed, they had been fighting with the Mongols for two years, and they knew these northern captives too clearly.

At this time, the phalanx commander glared and said: "The commanders of each company and the sergeant major immediately return to the command post and meet the battle according to the deployment of the regimental command!" ”

At this time, the drums had already sounded, and the three large squares formed a rather large fret.

The front of each phalanx is a large depth of pikemen, they form a rather dense and thick pikemen phalanx, which is the core of the phalanx, each pikemen horizontal line is a frontal fifty to sixty people, twenty columns in depth, the whole battlefield is three pike phalanxes, in the sound of drums, pikemen diagonally raise their spears, and begin to move forward at the established pace of training, slowly but firmly.

At the front of each horizontal formation were three rows of more than 30 guns, and on the sides of each phalanx were more than 130 guns.

At the four corners of each phalanx are two companies of musketeers in each corner, who will be the main force of the firecracker output.

Each of the four corners is separated by a distance of dozens of paces, which is the distance between the brigade-level phalanxes.

At the front of each brigade phalanx were a company of jumping soldiers, who wore two or three heavy armors, each of them weighed about fifty pounds, cotton armor, chain mail, iron scale armor or piercing armor on the body, and then helmets, iron masks, shin guards, iron mesh skirts, iron-clad combat boots, plus shields and long knives in their hands, each soldier's weight far exceeded that of pikemen and musketeers.

Every soldier is like a majestic iron beast.

Because of the impact of the last battle at the mouth of the Xiaohei River, there were also quite a few soldiers who were given heavy iron rods with iron heads, and they were even more powerful and tall heroes.

On the front right side of the phalanx were the artillerymen, who advanced with the phalanx, and after reaching the predetermined artillery positions, Dufret ordered everyone to begin building gun emplacements and carrying them off the ammunition trucks.

Everyone was sweating and carrying it, and Dufrei shouted: "Be careful, when crossing the desert, it is often dozens of brothers carrying ammunition trucks to carry them out, if the gunpowder and shells are wasted, who is worthy of it?" ”

At this time, the shouts became louder, and groups of several hundred Mongols ran all over the mountains, and their rough and brutal faces seemed to be visible from a long distance, and when the Mongols realized that only more than 3,000 Ming troops had advanced forward, and the remaining 5,000 or so remained behind the camp, they became even more frenzied.

With 100,000 against 3,000, this battle will be won no matter how you calculate.

The first wave of more than 20,000 men marched, and a large number of cavalry galloped through the wilderness, where sand and shrubs and grasslands met, and the horses galloped and raised smoke and dust.

Li Laibin stood on the high place of the command vehicle, overlooking the entire battlefield.

In his eyes, the array on his side was extremely neat, with soldiers, pikemen, musketeers, artillery teams, a small number of cavalry, and the coordination of all arms was clearly layered, and the array was as neat as a knife cutting an axe.

This is the result of a long period of training, the 1st and 2nd regiments were once guards units, with the longest history and glorious inheritance of the army, and most of the officers are experienced veterans, many middle-level officers are old people who followed the He Yusheng system in the early years, they are determined and experienced, because the entire regiment has received the earliest and most comprehensive long-term training, and all the tactical movements so far are flawless, as good as on the training ground.

On the other hand, on the Mongol side, the tactics were still the same, hundreds of people ran in groups, and eventually gathered into several large groups of cavalry, riding horses in front of the infantry formation, throwing bows and arrows, disrupting the infantry array, and the camera rushed into battle, without the determination or will to charge head-on.

"It's just a bunch of horse thieves."

Li Laibin gave the final evaluation to the enemy, and did not take to heart the enemy dozens of times his own.

All the officers saw the flags on the command vehicles, and it was the military commanders who reacted first, and the rousing drums sounded everywhere, the enemy was close at hand, and the commander had the order, and the phalanx continued to advance.

When the two sides were separated by hundreds of paces, the Mongols also made up their minds to continue the assault.

A large number of iron horsemen were huddled together, and the cavalry used their superb horsemanship to perform all kinds of unbelievable horse movements, and they rode at a gallop and rushed towards the opposing infantry array.

"Kill!"

All the soldiers roared, the spear forest made a shabu sound, the spear that was originally held high turned into a low oblique raise, and the whole array seemed to be overgrown with sharp hedgehogs.

As the cavalry approached, they saw the iron-clad warriors and marveled at the thick and heavy armor of the infantry...... In such weather and on the battlefield, wearing such a heavy iron armor, just standing still is an extremely severe test of people's physical fitness, let alone on the battlefield where physical energy consumption is very high and mental tension is high.

It was a group of warriors like iron men, and the iron masks also startled these Mongolian cavalrymen, they had never seen such beast-like iron men wrapped in their bodies.

Many cavalrymen subconsciously wanted to gallop farther away, but there were too many cavalry and it was too crowded, and many of them were forced to be the first to rush to the front.

At this moment, the rumbling cannon rang out.

The Mongolian nobles behind the battle, the Ming civil and military officials at the head of the city, they saw the scene they will never forget in their lives.

Twenty-four cannons let out an earth-shattering roar, and at this moment people almost thought that the heavens and the earth were angry, and thunder fell from the sky! The artillery of the Ming army had a small gun body, a small charge, poor gunpowder quality, poor air closure of the gun body, and the body tube technology was generally very rough. He Yusheng's artillery casting is very sophisticated, is the craftsmen of the Firearms Casting Bureau of excellence to cast out of fine products, far from the Ming Army's small firearms comparable, compared to Yusheng's cannons, those so-called cannons in Yulin City, are just some large muskets with slightly larger calibers.

The sound of artillery was like thunder, the flames burst out, white smoke rose, and the entire battlefield seemed to be enveloped.

The rapidly spinning cannonballs fell straight into the dense group of northern captives, plowing out bloody paths!

If it was the Tumut Division, there might not be such a big loss, they had already seen the power of Heyusheng's artillery last year, and they would not rush forward with such a dense cavalry.

When the shells fell, the scene of the cavalry could only be described as tragic!

Every cannonball completely drained all the kinetic energy in the cavalry, and the men and horses were torn to pieces like pieces of paper by the most violent force.

Blood and bones shattered and spilled, and internal organs, brains, everything that could be torn apart and sprayed on the human body and the horse were splattered.

Each shell reaped a dozen or twenty lives or the lives of horses.

Everywhere there were the exclamations and screams of men, the neighing and screaming of horses.

The life of man, the life of the horse, became at this moment completely insignificant, the product of nature had no resistance to the creation of human civilization, and under the product of industrial progress, man became the most vulnerable thing.

In front of all the Mongol nobles and Ming civil and military officials, the second regiment of the merchant army of He Yusheng completely demonstrated to them what the power of civilization and industry was.

The cavalry was already frightened, and the roaring phalanx moved forward like monsters, and the second round of artillery fire came quickly.

This was followed by the third round.

The well-trained artillerymen fired their guns almost constantly, and shells were pouring down on the cavalry.

A large number of cavalry began to run away unrestrained, and no one could remain as calm as they could after watching their horses being treated as a pile of minced meat in their chests, or seeing their partners' heads smashed flat.

The horses and knights were running together, the cavalry was already in a state of complete confusion, only the cavalry approaching the phalanx was not saturated, they were running aimlessly in front of the phalanx, only a few people subconsciously drew their bows and arrows to shoot, of course, this was useless, there were still two or three hundred paces away, and the bows and arrows fell to the ground half a distance away.

The sound of the horn sounded behind the battle, probably because Huo Luochi and other Taiji felt that the situation was not good, and blew the horn to speed up the march.

However, the cavalry was even more disorganized, and more than half of the cavalry behind the formation began to pull out their horses and speed up, but some of them had already rushed within a hundred paces, and most of the cavalry ran sideways, and they blocked the passage of the latecomers, and the few cut directly into the two flanks of the large phalanx, where they went straight to the east and began to shoot arrows in the direction of the phalanx.

The whole battlefield was like a large chaotic ant colony, some ran backwards, some could not stop their horses running sideways in front of the formation, and some ran east on both wings, looking down from the city, it seemed like a gray and black ant colony with intertwined canine teeth, chaotic.
