Chapter 1221: Fierce Battle

The sky was blue and deep, the howling north wind wandered in the endless grasslands, the withered yellow weeds flew in the air, and the snow particles were swept all over the sky by the north wind. Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped through the vast wilderness, their horses' hooves clanging, as if the entire steppe had been trampled to pieces.

The sunlight sprinkled on the waving saber flashed with golden light, making the bleak grassland a little angry, but the surging blood could not disperse the slaughter of the sword and sword.

Ten thousand horses galloped like thunder, and the two mighty cavalry charged like two prehistoric beasts awakened on the grassland, and they crashed together. The howling of the north wind could not hide the mourning, and the horses fell to the ground, their severed limbs flew sideways, and blood gushed out.

Zhang Zhijie had no time to care about the tragic battles between the cavalry, and he had to race against time to arrange the troops. Fortunately, the musketeers he led were veterans of the Battle of Yongning and the Battle of Xuanfu, and although the cavalry fought fiercely not far away, they were not frightened by the huge momentum.

The two cavalry fiercely clashed against each other, rushing past the opposing cavalry with the speed of their horses, leaving only the corpses in one place. Slowing down, detouring, and picking up, the two cavalry invariably launched a charge again.

Between the tragic battles, Zhang Zhijie's musketeers have been quickly reorganized, at this time Zhang Zhijie raised his eyes to look at the cavalry fighting in the distance, the Tatar cavalry is worthy of the iron cavalry across the grassland, Zhang Zhijie's cavalry loss is not small.

Although the two successive victories boosted the morale of the cavalry, the cavalry in Zhang Zhijie's hands was no match for the steppe cavalry after all, and this time the Tatar cavalry also had an advantage in strength.

However, despite the heavy losses, Zhang Zhijie's cavalry was still in high morale and showed no signs of collapse, which stemmed from their confidence.

At Zhang Zhijie's signal, the sound of the horn sounded throughout the steppe, and the cavalry after the hedge did not make a detour to hedge with the Tatar cavalry again, but retreated after a roundabout musket formation.

In fact, when he was hedging against the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, Dayan Khan had already noticed the movement over there, it turned out that Zhang Zhijie still had cavalry around him, but those cavalry were musketeers on horseback.

Now those musketeers are forming a formation, Dayan Khan can't help but feel a chill in his heart when he sees this, and his heart is full of fear for the musket array. At this time, the musket array had not yet been completed, and he really wanted to take the opportunity to directly lead the troops to charge into the formation, and he would definitely be able to defeat Zhang Zhijie's musketeers in one fell swoop.

But he couldn't, because Zhang Zhijie's cavalry was hedging against him, and if he turned around and went to charge the battle, he could only leave his back to the roundabout Ming cavalry.

Therefore, if Dayan Khan wanted to attack the musket array, he had to defeat the Ming spear array first, and defeat the Ming cavalry before the musket array was formed. But the Ming cavalry is not the Ming cavalry of the past, and sometimes morale is really a wonderful thing.

Although the Ming had powerful musketeers, the flintlock pistols did not enhance the cavalry, but the Ming cavalry did indeed become stronger. With two great victories, not only the musketeers became a strong army, but even the cavalry was reborn.

Although they are still not as strong as the steppe cavalry, their cohesion is even stronger than that of the steppe cavalry. Although the grassland cavalry is excellent and very fierce, it is a little scattered, and the cohesion is not as good as the reborn Ming cavalry.

It was this cohesion that made the morale of the Ming cavalry still very high and showed no signs of dispersion when the troops were weak and the hedging losses were large.

Dayan Khan was going to be disappointed after all, and after two hedges, the Ming cavalry still showed no signs of dispersing, and Dayan Khan could only pray that the next hedge would completely crush the Ming cavalry, because there might not be much time left for him.

It's not just that there are not many, but there is no more at all, the horn has sounded on the grassland, and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty no longer hedged in a roundabout way, but began to make a roundabout return to the formation!

Seeing this, Dayan Khan's heart was shocked, there was only one possibility, Zhang Zhijie's musketeers had already finished the formation! Dayan Khan was a little incredulous, it was only time for two hedges, and the musketeers had already finished their formation!

Are you going to storm Daming's musket array? Dayan Khan was a little panicked in his heart, he really didn't have any confidence that he could break through the Ming musket array! Whether or not they can rush to the front of the battle is a question.

After all, his iron cavalry had already failed in the Battle of Xuanfu first, and he had just hit his head under Daning City and broke his blood, and he was already demoralized before he could charge the battle.

However, it is not without a chance, Dayan Khan immediately led the cavalry to wave the whip to speed up, as long as he bit the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, it was possible to rush to the musket array without loss, and it would be easy to defeat the musket array at that time.

However, the wish is good, originally the distance between the two cavalry after the two cavalry hedged over, because this can have enough distance to speed up again, so it is just a good wish for these Tatar cavalry to catch up and bite.

Zhang Zhijie calmly looked at the Tatar cavalry chasing the cavalry, silently estimated the distance, and said loudly: "Musketeers prepare, shoot!" ”

After the Ming cavalry had already submerged in the musket array, the Tatar cavalry followed closely and had rushed into a small half of the musket range, and at this time, countless muskets crackled.

Although the Tatar cavalry had already rushed for a small time, when the muskets rang out, the Tatar cavalry was immediately stopped.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sound of muskets and screams was endless, but both the musketeers and the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were accustomed to it, and they were very calm. Although the Tatar cavalry had already rushed for a little before they began to shoot, the musketeers were very calm and unhurried.

The Ming cavalry, which had retreated to the rear of the formation, began to rest their horsepower with confidence. The only thing that worries is Agoura and his cavalry, the cavalry just now did not have an easy fight, and it can be said that they are at a disadvantage.

However, Agoura still has a lot of changes to the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, although the cavalry of the Ming cavalry is not as good as the cavalry of the grassland, but the discipline and cohesion are stronger than the grassland, even if he has experienced two hedging and is at a disadvantage, but he can still feel that the morale of the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is still very high.

Agoura's heart was still very shaken, the morale of the Ming army was so strong, and the baptism of war experienced would only get stronger and stronger.

But Agoura knew that the strongest thing in the Ming Dynasty was the musketeers, he had only heard of it, but he had never seen it, so when he saw that the Tatar cavalry had already rushed to such a close distance, the musketeers opened fire, and he really sweated in his heart.

After all, now the fate of their Yebu tribe has been implicated with Zhang Zhijie's army, if Zhang Zhijie's musketeers are defeated, then these cavalry are not the opponent of the Tatar cavalry!
