Chapter 1182: All or Nothing
Not only had he never seen such a sharp firearm, he had never heard of it, but he also felt that this army was not scattered at all, it was a well-trained army, and each round of firearm salvos was very close and smooth, which blocked their way of charging.
Dayan Khan frowned slightly when he heard this: "Firearms are sharp? β
The leader also complained bitterly: "Yes, the Great Khan, the firearms of the Ming army are really sharp, and they can't be rushed at all!" Although the children are brave, they are also flesh and blood, and they are not afraid of real swords and guns, but they are all knocked off their horses by this invisible firearm! β
Dayan Khan frowned and said, "The Ming people have always relied on firearms to fight, but they are not all rushed by the warriors of our steppe? β
The leader of Tumut stubbornly said: "Great Khan, in my opinion, this is likely to be a new type of firearm of the Ming people, and it is precisely because of this new type of firearm that the Ming have the courage to go out of the city to fight!" β
I have to say that what the leader of Tumut said is very reasonable, and the leaders around him also nodded secretly. But no one spoke, and they were glad that they hadn't led the charge just now.
The Tumut and the Yibra directly lost a small half of their men and horses in this charge, and their cavalry was not much stronger than these two tribes, so if they charged, they would also have to lose a small half of their men and horses.
So they are silent one by one now, for fear that they will be ordered by Dayan Khan. Dayan Khan listened and looked around, only to find that the faces of the surrounding tribal leaders had changed one by one, and they were completely devoid of the enthusiasm they had when they invited to war.
Dayan Khan raised his voice and said: "The Ming people are just relying on their kitsch and lewd skills, and our warriors on the steppe are not afraid of any opponent as long as they have a scimitar in their hands!" As long as everyone is united and rushes to the front of the Ming army, the firearms of the Ming people will be useless, and we can only slaughter them! β
"Now the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in the array, as long as we rush to the front of the battle, we can capture the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the rich and beautiful people can be captured, and our reputation can be spread forever in the grassland!"
"As long as the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is captured and the little emperor of the Ming army is defeated, the Ming Dynasty will be our backyard in the future, and the wealth and food of the Ming Dynasty and the beautiful women can only be taken by us!"
I have to say that Dayan Khan's words are still very agitatory, the grasslands have always been bitter and cold, they are very enthusiastic about the flowers and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, and they can develop the tribe if they plunder more goods and food, and they will have greater power.
And the women of Daming are far more beautiful and delicate than the women on the grassland, especially the women of large families, their skin is so tender that they can pinch out the water, think about them are a little drooling.
Besides, didn't they come here to capture the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty? How can you be intimidated by the loss of a battle?
Seeing that the faces of the surrounding tribal leaders had recovered, Dayan Khan raised his voice and said: "The army formation of the Ming Dynasty is only twenty or thirty thousand people, can it resist the charge of ten thousand horsemen, can it still resist the charge of tens of thousands of horsemen?" β
"Couldn't our warriors on the grassland break through a small military formation of the Ming army?" In the end, Dayan Khan was already in a strong voice.
The leaders of the surrounding tribes clamored one after another, and Dayan Khan said in a deep voice: "Okay, each tribe will send five hundred horsemen to form a forward battalion to rush to the front, and the first one to rush to the front of the battle will seal a thousand households and reward a thousand gold!" β
"Each tribe is divided into three routes, attacking the front army, left flank, and right flank of the Ming army's large arrayγγγγγγ" Dayan Khan began to be dispatched, and the 30,000 cavalry rushed in a swarm and could not set up a formation, so the army was divided into three routes, with 10,000 cavalry on each road.
After the distribution was completed, Dayan Khan looked at the leaders of the Tumut and Yibula tribes, their two tribes had already lost a lot of morale, and it was obviously no longer suitable to charge again, if they were to break up again in the middle of the rush, the impact on the entire army would be fatal!
Dayan Khan said in a deep voice: "The cavalry of the Tumut tribe and the Yibula tribe are used as the rear team to prevent the cavalry of Xuanfu City from going out of the city to rescue, the cavalry of your two tribes lost first, if the cavalry of the Ming people is still defeated, Ben Khan will not spare it!" β
Hearing that there was no need to charge the military formation of the Ming army, the leaders of the Tumut tribe and the Yibula tribe were relieved, they were really afraid of the Ming army's military formation. The two immediately responded: "Don't worry, Great Khan, we will defeat the Ming cavalry in one fell swoop!" β
Jiang Huaixin on the city wall couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that the charging cavalry was completely dispersed, these two cavalry were not just scattered, they suffered very heavy losses. Jiang Huaixin, who was standing on the city wall, could clearly see that these two cavalry had lost a small half of their troops.
The two wings of the army were covered with corpses in the distance, and thousands of Mongolian cavalry fell in a pool of blood, Jiang Huaixin finally understood how the Yongzhou victory beheaded four thousand horsemen!
This new type of firearm flintlock pistol is indeed powerful, and the border army has always had firearms, but they have never achieved such a great victory. Now this flintlock pistol can be regarded as a meritorious service, and it has defeated four thousand horsemen of Duoyan Sanwei under the city of Yongzhou, and now it has defeated three or four thousand horsemen of Tatar under the city of Xuanfu.
Wang Chong also sighed at the power of the flintlock pistol, the flintlock pistol is more powerful than the arquebus, and the previous flintlock pistol cannot be compared. But the Governor's military formation is even stronger! In the face of the charge of 10,000 cavalry, he still stood still, and the rotation connection was excellent, completely blocking the charge of the cavalry, so that the cavalry broke up before they could rush to the front of the formation.
This style of play is indeed worth learning from, after removing the pikemen, the power of firearms round fire has been fully exerted, as long as the round fire is done properly, the cavalry charge will achieve great restraint, and not afraid of close combat!
But Wang Chong was not optimistic about this, it is true that the military formation of the Governor can easily defeat the opponent in the face of ten thousand cavalry, but now the opponent's strength is not only ten thousand cavalry, but a full forty or fifty thousand cavalry, can the military formation of the Governor Governor withstand the charge of so many cavalry?
Wang Chong didn't have an answer in his heart, but he was still full of respect for the governor, because this was only the first use of the flintlock pistol, and the Mongol cavalry who could already fight fled in embarrassment.
In the future, the Ordnance Bureau will definitely make more flintlock guns, will there be more cavalry on the grassland or more flintlock muskets in the Ming Dynasty?
Thinking like this, the steppe cavalry outside the city began to move, and it was a big move. The Tatar cavalry was gradually divided into four major divisions, and Wang Chong had already seen the Tatar intention standing on the city wall, which should be to charge in three ways, one of which was left as a rear team.
Jiang Huaixin became nervous when he saw this, and said very worriedly: "The Tatar cavalry is going to charge!" β
