Chapter 576: Rushing to kill the right camp of Mongolia
Wu Nag was shocked, no wonder the scouts did not return for half an hour, originally thought that they were close to the Karaqin royal capital, and they all went to fight the autumn wind, but now it seems that all of them were plotted by the Ming army.
There are not too many cavalry of the Ming army in the array, only 3,000 cavalry, all the war horses are just transferred to full of physical strength, these 3,000 cavalry are under the jurisdiction of the Huang family's seven thousand generals, plus 1,000 cavalry from Lu Chengzu Shandong, led by Huang Mingli himself.
These are all private knights of the Huang family, too many of them not only have cold weapons, they also have two loaded double-barreled short guns.
There are a small number of cavalrymen with flintlock rifled guns on their backs, these people are the new generation of intellectual young cavalry of the Huang family, there are more than 300 of them, most of them can't ride and shoot, but they are equipped with a spear, two short guns, and they will wield a one-handed battle axe light steel round shield to rush to kill, but they are busy before charging into battle.
Because within a hundred paces, it is necessary to shoot the Minnie bullet in the flintlock pistol, and then carry the spear on your back and take off the light steel round shield, which requires that the speed of the horse is not reduced, the queue is not chaotic, and the formation is still like a wall.
When approaching fifty paces, the knight took out the double-barreled short gun inserted on both sides of the horse's belly with one hand, pulled the trigger twice in a row, and then lifted the one-handed battle axe and swung it to slash, which required more than forty steps before the enemy to empty a double-barreled short gun, and the knight with extremely fast hands and feet could also fire four shots in a row.
Wu Nag had no choice, and the encounter was inevitable, and he didn't have time to think about where the 10,000 horses from Karaqin had gone, and why he would run into a large Ming army head-on.
Wu Nag thought that the situation was okay, the opposing Ming army was in a reverse trend, and the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry under his command were all good at riding and archery, and it was not a big deal to fight a vicious battle.
He shouted the order for the whole army to form a formation, and the heralds around him immediately galloped away, waving the command flag and loudly conveying the commander's order.
The five thousand Mongolian cavalry of the Houjin Army who hurriedly responded to the battle immediately began to form a formation, and just as their formation unfolded, the cavalry of the three thousand Ming Army on the opposite side began to jog, and the calm Huang cavalry pushed over in a line, and the sound of horses' hooves and horse neighing was getting closer and closer.
The Ming army gradually accelerated, at this time the Houjin army array was not completed, in the blink of an eye, the Ming army was already close to a hundred steps, the Houjin army had clearly seen the iron flow on the opposite side, and no one could see what those Ming troops looked like.
Because except for a large area of fiery red and dazzling, it was the cold helmet and visor that packed them tightly.
The equipment of the knights of the Huang family should be the best in this era, the all-steel cuirass with the winding soft armor does not affect the protection at all but reduces the weight by more than thirty catties, and the protection provided by the helmet and visor makes the survival rate of the knight who falls from the horse greatly improved.
The wearing of goggles made the knight no longer worry about the wind and sand in the prairie, and it didn't hurt to line up at the downwind. The smoke formed by the explosion of black powder when the musket was fired did not dazzle the warriors at all.
Wu Nag, who was still calm, stared at the Ming army that was coming in a sea of mountains, and he found that the momentum of this cavalry team was completely different.
Wu Nag has been in battle for a long time, and the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry duel several times, in the old slave era, he also led the cavalry to attack other Jurchen tribes many times.
But today he felt the pressure he had never felt before, although there were not many cavalry of the oncoming Ming army, but the murderous aura that swallowed mountains and rivers pressed this butcher.
Suddenly, wisps of green smoke came out of the Ming army's array, and there was a "crackling" gunshot, and at this time, the Ming cavalry did not need to aim at all, and there were 5,000 enemy cavalry in front of it.
As long as the musketeers of the Ming army master the height of flat fire, if they can't hit the first row, the Jin army will also hit the unlucky ghosts in the second or third row, although there are only 300 mini bullets that are wanton, and the Houjin army also has nearly 200 horsemen who have been shot, and the enemy array, which is already chaotic, is even more chaotic.
Wu Nag's heart was terrified, and when he found that he was going to suffer like this, he opened his throat and shouted: "Sons, run up, don't force the array, quickly approach the Ming army and slash and kill, rush!" ”
This kid has been on the battlefield for a long time, and since he can't quickly line up, he simply commands the cavalry to rush up and fight.
The cavalry of the Later Jin Army began to gallop on horseback, and the speed at which the two sides approached was extremely fast, the steel pulley bow of the Ming army only had time to shoot three or four steel arrows, and the Later Jin Army was even worse, they had to abandon the bow and use all kinds of cold weapons to prepare for the dance when they shot an average of three feather arrows.
The sound of "clanging" was endless, and more than 10,000 arrows of the Houjin army fell into the array of the Ming army, like a large group of locusts flying head-on.
Fortunately, the combination of winding soft armor and all-steel cuirass and visor is reasonable, and the damage caused by the enemy's long-distance diffuse is limited, and only a few dozen people in the Ming army were unlucky and wounded, and they insisted on refusing to fall off their horses one by one.
The cavalry charged in formation, and those who fell off the horse wanted to survive because they were blessed by the gods and Buddhas. Because there is full protection, it is true that you will not fall off the horse and die, but if you are stepped on a few feet by a galloping war horse, it will not help if you are thoughtful in protection!
"Bah, Bah, Bah......." The sound of popping beans was loud, and the axe cavalry approached fifty paces and took out their guns to shoot, and the double-barreled short guns had a good shooting effect at close range, and one or two thousand lead bullets poured into the opposite side, and then the Jin soldiers shouted that the horses neighed and fell down a large area, and then the flow of people who hedged collided together.
Shouts, screams, shouting, and laughter rang out incessantly, "click, knock, flutter....... "Often, after the sound, a living life is lost.
The Mongolian soulless howl sounded piercingly: "Defeated, the Ming army is too powerful, brothers, run away!" ……。 ”
In less than a moment of receiving the enemy, the Tartar soldiers who bullied the weak and feared the hard were instigated, and many of them relied on their riding skills to rush out diagonally and refused to return to their horses.
Suddenly, the horse's hooves on the left flank of the battlefield sounded, and the fiery red galloped again, and the Houjin army, which had been frightened, no longer dared to fight, and ignored the main general Wu Nag at all, and flew away.
The defeat was like a mountain, and Wu Nag really couldn't imagine that the cavalry that had been invincible in the previous block, and the cavalry of the Ming army, which was less than half of his own number, would be beaten to the point that he could barely fight back.
Now that the Ming army still has a large number of reinforcements rushing to the battlefield, it is obvious that it is impossible for them to win, and the only way to save their lives is to escape.
The main general of the Houjin army ran away, and there were still one or two thousand Mongolian Houjin troops who followed, and they all turned around the arc and turned back, only to run less than ten miles in front of them and a group of men and horses rushed forward, which was the cavalry team of black tigers and black panthers who hurried to the battlefield.
During the movement, the combined attack on the enemy army can not control the place and time, and can only complete the encirclement in the approximate area and approximate time, and the Black Tiger's men and horses have caught up, and there are still two teams of men and horses who may have settled when they arrive at the battlefield.
