After a day of repairs at Talabrak, on the second day, Mangui's army set out again, and two days later it arrived at Verdurdob.

At this time, there were still a few people in Fodur Dob who had not been evacuated, and most of the people who had not evacuated were monks, and Man Gui did not embarrass them for the monks. In Fordordob, Mangui's army could already see Gunbu's scouts, and although the number was very small, the atmosphere in the army had begun to become tense. Man Gui sent scouts, and doubled.

The first encounter between Man Gui and Gunbu was at Gilgalantu, and although it was only a scout battle of nearly twenty men, with casualties on both sides, Man Gui realized that Gunbu had most likely moved the battle line forward. When Mangui's army arrived in Buha, Mangui finally got accurate information.

"The Turks (Zasaktu) have sent 20,000 reinforcements, and they have arrived at Bukuktai at this moment. After receiving 20,000 reinforcements from the barbarians, Gunbu's army advanced sixty miles, and now the 60,000 combined Khalkha troops are stationed in Bukuktai. The spy replied.

"Order the whole army to camp on the spot in Bucha, and the army will march to Bukuktai early tomorrow morning." Man Gui ordered, "In addition, double the number of scouts, and I want to know every move of the Khalkha coalition army." ”

On the ninth day of the fifth month, a confrontation formed between the Ming army and the Khalkha coalition army at a distance of 20 miles from Bukuktai.

May 11, the hour of the hour. After a day of standoff between the two sides, the battle officially began. The number of the Ming army at the moment was only more than 17,000, while the number of the Khalkha coalition army exceeded 60,000.

Man Gui placed 3,000 infantry in the Chinese army, and this time Man Gui did not arrange the infantry into an infantry phalanx, but adopted an offensive formation, and he wanted to rely on the infantry to break through the Chinese army of the Khalkha coalition army. When he was in the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, Zhu Youxiao once led the generals to deduce how to attack the cavalry with infantry, but this was the first time it was used in actual combat.

The 15,000 dragoons of the Ming army were placed on the flanks by Man Gui to cover the Chinese army, and he himself led the 2,000 dragoons as a maneuver.

All the Mongol tribes knew about the Ming infantry phalanx, and they all knew that this phalanx was used to restrain the cavalry. This time, the Ming army abandoned the infantry phalanx, coupled with the absolute superiority of the Khalkha coalition army in numbers, which made Gunbu full of confidence, and at the beginning of the war, the Chinese army led by Gunbu took the lead in attacking.

The range of the Apocalypse Gun was close to 500 meters, so that on this expedition, Man Gui only carried light artillery. The large-scale armament of the Apocalypse Gun has made artillery a support weapon.

Gunbu became the first test and victim after the large-scale equipment of the Apocalypse Gun, and the distance of four or five hundred meters made Gunbu's cavalry a living target. The Apocalypse Spear was the equivalent of a nuclear weapon in later generations in this era, and no matter how Gunbu's cavalry charged, it was never able to break through the distance of three hundred paces.

The current situation is that the Ming army can easily hit the Khalkha coalition army, but the Khalkha coalition army cannot attack the Ming army, and this passive situation of being beaten makes Gunbu's Chinese army very uncomfortable. And this situation made the morale of the Ming army high.

"How come there are so many marksmen in the Ming Thief?" Gunbu couldn't believe what was in front of him, his army couldn't advance to a distance of three hundred paces from the Ming army.

For the marksmen of the Ming army, almost all of the enemies of the Ming Dynasty know and know the power of the marksman, which also makes it possible to pay attention to the marksman of the Ming army when fighting with the Ming army, especially when the charge is launched, and now the general will not rush to the front.

"The reason why the marksman is so strong is because of the firearm like the Apocalypse Gun." Hong Taiji said. Hung Tai Ji was the commander of the reinforcements sent by Zasaktu.

"The Ming thief has actually begun to equip the Apocalypse Gun on a large scale, this is the Heaven is going to kill me!" Gunbu said sadly.

"It seems that in the near future, all the armies of the Ming Thief will be equipped with the Apocalypse Spear, in that case, the Ming Thief will really become a strong army invincible in the world, who else in this world is their opponent?" When Hong Taiji saw such a scene, he felt that the Mongolian cavalry was about to be launched on the stage of history in the future.

While the two were talking, the Ming army attacked.

"Attack." Man Gui gave an order, and the three thousand infantry began to advance slowly. The large-scale deployment of the Apocalypse Gun did not allow the Ming army to change its previous tactics, and it still uses platoon gun shooting.

The war on the left and right flanks is difficult to distinguish at the moment, the Ming army relies on the advantage of equipment, and the Khalkha coalition army relies on the physical advantage, after a long journey, and because of the climate, the Ming army has obviously not fully recovered in physical strength.

The speed of the advance of the Ming army's Chinese army was very slow, but it was pressing step by step, and the Chinese army of Gunbu could not resist the attack of the Chinese army of the Ming army at all, and the decline was very obvious, and it was less than an hour before the start of the war, and the Chinese army of Gunbu had already shown a rout.

The drumbeat of the Ming army's offensive was like a talisman, and the enemy troops in front kept falling, which was a massacre attack that caused great pressure on the Chinese army in Khalkha. Man Gui saw that the formation of the Khalkha Chinese army was completely chaotic and on the verge of collapse, and the two thousand dragoons led by him were immediately ready to charge.

Under the tremendous pressure of the Ming army, there were finally people in the Khalkha army who could not resist, as the saying goes: the defeat is like a mountain, and the collapse of the Khalkha Chinese army is almost instantaneous. Seeing the rout of the Khalkha Chinese army, Man Gui's two thousand dragoons immediately launched a charge and launched a pursuit of the Khalkha Chinese army.

The rout of the Khalkha Chinese army caused a chain reaction, and the left and right flanks of the Khalkha coalition army were completely defeated after holding on to half a stick of incense for only half a long time. The Ming army completely defeated the Khalkha coalition army in the first battle of Bukuktai and established an absolute superiority.

Gunbu fled from Bukuktai to Kulen before stopping, and Zasaktu's 20,000 reinforcements were lost more than half in the Battle of Bukuktai, and they did not return to Kulen, but fled directly back to Zakkutu.

After winning the Battle of Bukuktai, Mangui's army repaired the Tula River for another day before marching to Kulen. After the news of the defeat of Bukuktai reached Kulun, Kulen was already in disarray, and some of the nobles of Tushetu were ready to surrender to the Ming army, some were ready to flee north, and many more were planning to flee to Zasaktu.

"Living Buddha, the thief is powerful, the defeat of our army is decided, I am ready to go to Zasaktu, I don't know what the Living Buddha has planned?" Gonbu said.

"I'm just a monk, the Ming army won't do anything to me, but the Great Khan should leave as soon as possible, I heard that the army has already entered the Tula River platform, and it will reach Kulen as soon as tomorrow." Jebzunba said.

"I'll leave soon, since the Living Buddha doesn't want to go, then Tu Xie Tu will ask the Living Buddha." Gonbu said.
