Chapter 1165: Hesitation
How so? Why is this happening? The children and grandchildren turned pale and stared at the Ming army formation in the distance, why are the Ming army's firearms so powerful? Why did they rush to the front of the Ming army and still not disperse the Ming army?
Finally, the last cavalry to rush over fell, and the children and grandchildren had to give up the plan to charge, gritted their teeth and ordered to collect the rout!
The last cavalry fell, and Zhang Zhijie was not very happy, because that section of the army had suffered great losses. Although musketeers with flintlock muskets with bayonets could fight against cavalry, company pikemen suffered against cavalry, not to mention bayonet musketeers, who were inferior to pikemen.
Zhang Zhijie constantly issued orders to adjust the military formation and make up for the gap. At this time, Tian Shiyuan was dumbfounded, he was far away on the right flank and couldn't see what was happening in the military formation in front of him, he had only seen the strangely shaped firearms, but he had not seen the flintlock pistol with bayonets.
So Tian Shiyuan only saw the fall of the cavalry, but he didn't know what happened, but obviously the musketeers did not break up from beginning to end, and the army formation remained unmoved!
Without using cavalry, the Governor's musketeers were able to withstand the charge of the cavalry of the Duoyan Sanwei! Tian Shiyuan looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, there was no doubt that this was a great victory! And he participated in this great victory, although he did not contribute much, but he really participated in this great victory, and there is no doubt that he also has credit!
But compared to the merits, what he was more enthusiastic about was that the Governor was able to lead the army to defeat the steppe cavalry in the field, and he might never have to suffer from his mother's anger in the future!
Zhou Yang on the city wall closed his eyes in pain, he couldn't bear to see the army under the city being defeated, but he couldn't help but look at it, because he had to accept the governor into the city.
Just as he was determined to open his eyes and prepare to lead the cavalry out of the city to meet him, he heard an exclamation in his ears, not a cry of horror, but a cry of surprise!
Zhou Yang opened his eyes violently and saw that the military array under the city had been torn open and was a little messy, but the entire military array showed no signs of collapse.
Zhou Yang's heart was agitated, and he looked carefully at the torn opening, although the people turned on their backs, the cavalry rushing in was constantly decreasing, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp did not show the slightest sign of escaping.
The torn opening was gradually closing, and the cavalry that rushed in continued to decrease, and soon all of them were killed! At this time, the internal movement of the army began, and the military formation was quickly compensated, and the military formation returned to its former state, still standing still!
The charge of the steppe cavalry failed! Zhou Yang's heart was agitated, and he slapped the city wall hard, and shouted excitedly: "Strong, Lord Governor!" ”
At this time, Zhou Yang's heart was excited, and he couldn't wait to appear in the military array under the city and fight against the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei with the Governor.
The corpses of the two armies were all over the field in front of the formation, and the charge of Duoyan Sanwei suffered heavy losses, and there had not been such a great victory for many years! didn't expect such a big victory to appear under his nose, the only pity is that he couldn't participate.
Although he was excited in his heart, Zhou Yang knew that this battle was not over, although the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei suffered losses, but it was not to the extent of breaking his muscles and bones. Whether they will retreat as a result of this is unknown.
Although Zhou Yang hoped that Duoyan Sanwei would retreat because of this, but Duoyan Sanwei not only did not get any benefits from this invasion of the border, but lost so many people, would they be willing to retreat?
In fact, Zhang Zhijie was also thinking about this problem, but compared to Zhou Yang's expectation that the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei would retreat, Zhang Zhijie was looking forward to the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei and was unwilling to continue to charge.
In the eyes of Zhou Yang and Tian Shiyuan, this is already a great victory, but in the eyes of Zhang Zhijie, it is far from enough. Therefore, Zhang Zhijie expects that the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei can continue to charge into battle, if the people of Duoyan Sanwei can continue to charge into battle, Zhang Zhijie is also a little agitated when he thinks of this.
The cavalry in the distance was restarting the formation, and it seemed that they had no intention of retreating. Maybe their leader was hesitating in his heart, Zhang Zhijie speculated in his heart.
If the cavalry of the Duoyan Sanwei continued to charge, would their leader still choose to continue to charge head-on? Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but set his eyes on the wings.
Zhang Zhijie immediately ordered the artillery to begin to turn around, and at the same time gave orders to the cavalry on both flanks. Just when Zhang Zhijie kept giving orders to start adjusting the army, his children and grandchildren hesitated in his heart while his face was gloomy.
Finally, the whole army was completed, and a total of 3,000 cavalry were lost in this charge! In the course of the charge, 2,000 cavalry were lost, and after the rout, Geert still led a thousand-man squad into the enemy line, but none of them survived.
It was definitely a terrible charge! Although I had long guessed that the loss was not small, I didn't expect it to be such a serious loss, and my children and grandchildren were about to go crazy! He was the son his father valued most, but he was not the only son.
This time his father asked him to lead the army to sweep the border, which was not only a test for him, but also to establish his prestige, provided that he led the cavalry to return with a full load! But now, before he entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he had already lost three thousand cavalry!
Even if he lost 300 cavalry, he couldn't explain it when he went back, let alone 3,000 cavalry, he seemed to see his father's disappointed gaze, and the contempt of his clansmen for him, and the position of leader seemed to have left him.
He had also accompanied his father to lead troops to sweep the border, and all the Ming troops in the city were nested in the city and watched them roar away in horror, and could only watch them drive away with cattle, sheep and women, pulling carts of goods and goods.
Why did he meet the Ming army this time? And the Ming army is still so weird? It's really weird, he actually sent 6,000 elite cavalry to disperse the Ming army, but was killed and injured 3,000 cavalry!
Where the hell did this elite soldier come from? This is definitely not a border army! In addition to the border army, where else does the Ming have elite soldiers? There is only Jingshi.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of a possibility, the battle of Tumubao has been circulating on the grassland, and he has also been fascinated, although the Wara of that year has fallen, but the prestige of the battle of Tumubao will not dissipate with time.
The emperor who has also heard of the Ming people is the most nonsense, and he once drove the emperor to quell the rebellion, so will the Zhengde Emperor appear here?
