Chapter 1230: The Great War
However, Dayan Khan had no regrets in his heart, if there was no battle of Xuanfu and the battle of Daning, if the eastern parts of the grassland did not return to the Ming Dynasty, he could gather 100,000 iron horsemen!
100,000 Iron Riders! Even if Zhang Zhijie's musket array is solid against a rock, it can't withstand the charge of 100,000 iron horsemen! It's just a pity that now he can only gather 60,000 iron horsemen.
Although 60,000 iron cavalry is a powerful combat force, enough to sweep the grassland, but thinking of the Ming musket array, Dayan Khan's heart flashed a shadow.
The two defeats to the Ming musket array made Dayan Khan full of fear, even with 60,000 iron horsemen, he was not absolutely confident that he would be able to defeat Zhang Zhijie's army.
However, what made him feel some comfort was that when he was in Xuanfu, he was only one step away from defeating the musket array, and now he has far more cavalry than during the Battle of Xuanfu.
Although he also heard Hua Dang say that Zhang Zhijie's musketeers also had a lot more, Zhang Zhijie's musketeers still had to guard Xuanfu and Daning City.
So, victory must belong to Ben Khan! Dayan Khan strengthened his confidence, and there were no more warriors from the steppe to come to the Khan's court, and those who should have come had already come.
Dayan Khan reorganized his army and left the Khan's court to meet him, because Zhang Zhijie's army was not far from the Khan's court, and he could not let Zhang Zhijie's army storm the Khan's court.
After a night of north wind, the weather suddenly cleared, the sky was cloudless, the north wind stopped, and the sun shining on people can make people feel the warmth they have not felt for a long time.
Such a beautiful day was destined not to be peaceful, and the war that affected the entire steppe finally broke out, and the two armies finally met.
A great war that had not been seen in the entire grassland for decades broke out, and the dense 100,000 cavalry turned into a rolling torrent and fought for their lives on the endless grassland. The huge military formation in the distance was gradually taking shape, and Zhang Zhijie kept issuing orders with a calm face.
In Zhang Zhijie's view, the most important thing in this battle is whether his cavalry can intercept Dayan Khan's cavalry, as long as his cavalry can temporarily block Dayan Khan's cavalry and let his musketeers successfully form a formation, the balance of victory has been tilted in his favor.
The cavalry in the distance was still strangled fiercely, Zhang Zhijie was very relieved that the cavalry he brought out single-handedly, they followed Zhang Zhijie after several battles, and already had a strong will, able to tenaciously block Dayan Khan's cavalry.
Even for the cavalry of Yibra and Tainingwei and Fuyuwei, Zhang Zhijie was very relieved, because they had also experienced two major battles and knew that as long as they dragged the musketeers into formation, victory would belong to them.
Only the 10,000 cavalry of the Horqin tribes made Zhang Zhijie a little worried, although Zhang Zhijie had been carefully advised before the war, but no one knew the result of being tested at a disadvantage on the battlefield.
However, the musketeers have successfully formed a formation, which is an unprecedented large musket formation! Zhang Zhijie was slightly excited and said: "Order, blow the horn!" Prepare for the musket formation! ”
The desolate horn sounded one after another, and Zizik, who was still struggling to support himself, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and if he continued like this, his cavalry would collapse! Fortunately, the horn of retreat finally sounded.
The cavalry of the battalions began to retreat back to their positions in a coordinated detour. Dayan Khan's cavalry did not pursue, and the Battle of Yongning taught Dayan Khan that it would not work to rush into battle by pursuit.
The cavalry of the battalions retreated to their positions one after another, and the cavalry of Dayan Khan retreated like a tide. The battlefield was calm for a while, and if it weren't for the corpses everywhere on the grassland, everything would have been as if nothing had happened.
Zizik returned to the rear with the cavalry, and he sat on his horse and watched, and Dayan Khan's 60,000 iron cavalry put a lot of pressure on him. Although he had seen the power of the musket array, after truly feeling the power of the 60,000 iron horsemen, his original confidence was somewhat shaken.
It didn't take long for Dayan Khan's cavalry to move back, and the mighty cavalry charged like a landslide and tsunami. Feeling the pressure of standing on his face, Zizik's face changed instantly, he had never felt such a great pressure.
And he had never sat so quietly on his horse and felt the power of the cavalry charge, because the cavalry had to charge in order to exert its might, and when the hostile cavalry charged, he had to charge.
He could only watch quietly now, but he could feel the power of the cavalry charge even more, and he even had an irrepressible urge to whip it. Will the musket array be able to hold back the charge of 60,000 cavalry?
Soon the sound of muskets woke him from his thoughts, and the great battle finally began, and it was a terrible battle he had never seen before. Or a massacre, a brutal massacre!
Although he had experienced the power of the musket array, what he had experienced was undoubtedly nothing compared to the great battle in front of him.
The warriors of the brave steppe could not exert their courage at all, nor could they play their horse shooting, so they could only wave their sabers and constantly fall off their horses. Zizik, who had no reason, suddenly felt a burst of desolation, feeling sad for the warriors of the steppe, in the face of this kind of musket, could the warriors of their steppe still gather into iron horses?
The brutal slaughter, from the beginning of the shock to the final numbness, Zizik can't tell what it feels like, every moment there are many steppe cavalry falling, these are all warriors on the steppe!
At the same time, Qizik was a little glad that if they Horqin did not submit to the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming army attacked the Khan's court, they Horqin would definitely respond to Dayan Khan's order to come to the war!
At that time, it was not the tens of thousands of musketeers that he was facing, but the hundreds of thousands of musketeers, and when he thought of this, Qizik was a little frightened and a little blocked.
Just when Qizik's thoughts were flying, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations in his ears, Qizik hurriedly looked up, and finally knew why the exclamations sounded, Dayan Khan's 60,000 iron horsemen collapsed!
At this moment, Zizik felt that his brain was blank for a while, and the whole sixty thousand iron horsemen, who had condensed most of the combat power of the grassland, collapsed under the slaughter of the musket array! And it collapsed so quickly that it didn't make any waves.
These 60,000 iron cavalry only showed their strong combat power when the cavalry was hedging, and they were slaughtered from beginning to end when facing the musket array! Until it was slaughtered to the point of collapse.
At this time, Zizik realized what it means to be in awe! At this moment, he was full of awe and awe of the young man who was always smiling, and he was in awe! Not only him, but the rest of the clan leaders finally saw the power of the musket array, so powerful that they felt a sense of unreality!
Because it's so powerful, 60,000 iron horsemen have been slaughtered all the time, and they were easily slaughtered to the point of collapse!
