Chapter 1184: Precarious
Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin had been watching the battle under the city with bated breath on the city wall, watching the large array of the governor inflict heavy losses on the Tatar cavalry, and the Tatar cavalry charge paid several heavy prices.
But even so, the Tatar cavalry still rushed towards the large array one after another, and under the increasingly worried eyes of Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin, the Tatar cavalry was getting closer and closer to the large array. At this point, they understood that the Tatar cavalry would be able to rush to the front of the army.
It's not that the Governor's large array is not powerful, but the cavalry has a natural charge advantage, and the Governor's strength is even smaller than the cavalry, and the Governor's army can fight to this extent, bringing such a lot of damage to the Tatar cavalry, which is already very remarkable.
The cavalry in front of the charging array finally rushed to the front of the formation and collided with the musketeers of the large array! In an instant, the people turned on their backs, and the entire large array was a little messy by the impact.
Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin's hearts were raised in their throats, and then the cavalry on the left and right flanks also hit the big array! Will the Governor's military formation be able to hold up?
Even Wang Chong and Jiang Huaixin both changed color a little in an instant, because they could feel the powerful power of the three cavalry impacts on the city wall, which could really make the heavens and the earth lose color!
But after this powerful onslaught, the Doge's great array was somewhat disorganized, but it did not break up, and was gradually mending the cracks caused by the cavalry onslaught.
Hold on! The Governor led more than 20,000 musketeers to form a formation and withstood the onslaught of 30,000 cavalry! At that moment, Wang Chong felt a wave of blood stirring in his chest! The more than 20,000 musketeers of the Governor can withstand the impact of 30,000 steppe cavalry in the field, what else would they dare to dare to the elite soldiers of Xuanfu?
Wang Chong glanced at the battlefield where the battle was raging under the city, and then strode downstairs. The cavalry in Xuanfu City had already assembled and stood by, and at this time they did not know what was going on outside the city.
All they knew was that the army of the Governor had routed the onslaught of the two cavalry, and at this time Wang Chong arrived with his own soldiers and enthusiastic fast horses.
"Soldiers, the military formation of the Governor has resisted the onslaught of 30,000 Tatar cavalry, and it can still stand still, can the soldiers of our cavalry still be afraid of field battles?" Wang Chong said in a loud voice.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! "Kill the Tartars!"
Wang Chong took a deep breath and raised his voice: "Okay! Brethren, go out of the city with your official to kill the Tartars, and fight side by side with the Governor! β
"Tian Shiyuan, you lead 10,000 cavalry to intercept the rear of the Tatars, and this officer leads 10,000 cavalry to rush to the aid of the governor!"
Xuanfu has a total of 15,000 cavalry, plus the 5,0300 cavalry led by Zhang Zhijie, exactly 20,000 cavalry! Wang Chong already knew that the Tatars had left a cavalry outside, and did not charge, just to prevent the cavalry in the city from galloping to help.
Wang Chong raised his spear and shouted, "Brothers, kill the Tartars!" With that, he rushed out of the city first, and his own soldiers immediately followed with their horses, and the cavalry behind immediately howled and killed the Tartars and rushed out of the city.
The city gate of Xuanfu suddenly opened, Wang Chongyue rode out with a spear, and the cavalry behind was like a rolling torrent, one horse, two horses, ten horses, a hundred horses, and a thousand horsesγγγγγγ
The Xuanfu cavalry who rushed out of the city were immediately infected by the battle outside the city, and when they looked up, they saw that the dense cavalry was rushing around the military formation, and even so, the military formation of the Governor still did not collapse! These cavalrymen were immediately encouraged, and one by one they were boiling with blood and screaming, and they were about to rush forward to kill.
In fact, the movement of Xuanfu City has been paid attention to by Dayan Khan, when the gate of Xuanfu was suddenly opened, and the cavalry continued to pour out, Dayan Khan instantly changed color.
Although it was expected, when it really happened, it still made Dayan Khan's heart chuckle, because it was not only the Xuanfu cavalry that attacked, but the Ming army in front of him was still very tenacious. Even in the face of the onslaught of 30,000 cavalry, it still did not collapse!
Not only was the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms beyond his expectations, but it was not only that the Ming army's muskets could be used as spears beyond his expectations, but even the will of the Ming army was beyond his expectations.
However, what made Dayan Khan feel a little comforted was that he left behind his back hand, and the cavalry of the Tumut and Yibula tribes were left by him to defend against the cavalry of Xuanfu, which finally came in handy at this time.
However, it is not possible to put all expectations on the back of the behind, and Dayan Khan at this time is also a little distrustful of the cavalry that the Tumut and Yibula tribes can intercept.
Because the current Ming army is really weird, 30,000 elite cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry army formations have not been dispersed until now, isn't this weird?
So Dayan Khan made a decision and personally led his guards to charge into battle, and the reason why this was so was because he sent troops to help the Xuanfu and was more sure that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in the army. We must disperse the Ming army's large array and capture the little emperor alive as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!
Dayan Khan, although he had previously charged with a large army, did not rush to the front because he was a noble Great Khan. But now Dayan Khan rushed forward with a long knife in person, not because of his bravery, but because of the role of personal bravery on this huge battlefield.
But this can boost morale, even the noble Great Khan personally went into battle to kill, what could be more morale-boosting than this? Especially for the Chahar tribe, which has always been controlled by the Golden Family, Dayan Khan, a descendant of the Golden Family, is of greater significance.
Therefore, the morale of the Chahar Department was instantly boosted, and the charge became more ferocious, and for a while, the front army's front line was a little precarious, and at this time, the soldiers in Zhang Zhijie's hands were already overstretched, and there were no soldiers to adjust.
Zhang Zhijie also noticed that the city gate of Xuanfu had been opened, obviously the cavalry of Xuanfu was about to come to help, and now the Tatar cavalry was dragged by the military formation, as long as the cavalry of Xuanfu pounced, the balance of victory would be tilted to his side.
Of course, the premise is that the army cannot be broken! Zhang Zhijie also noticed that the cavalry that was attacking the front army suddenly became ferocious, apparently because of something that boosted morale.
Zhang Zhijie decisively dismounted, the surrounding guards did not know so they also dismounted, Zhang Zhijie picked up a flintlock pistol from the messy ground, Magnolia obviously understood something, and said in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates led the guards to go up." β
The reason why Magnolia said this was because he didn't want the Admiral to go up and take risks, and even if the military formation collapsed, he would be able to kill the Admiral, and besides, the Admiral was accompanied by two girls, Ziyi and Yiye.
