When Xie Hong commented on the strong crossbow, the little prince and the others were in a daze. [No pop-up novel network]

It's not that no one spoke, from the beginning of the divine arm bow, the name of the immortal heaven began to be recited repeatedly, and in the face of incomprehensible things, the Tartars could only respond in this way.

When the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they were faced with the Jurchens who were being overwhelmed by the rebel armies rising and falling in the Central Plains. Therefore, they did not get too much new technology from the operation to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, or they got it, and they did not use it.

Therefore, the Mongols actually did not really face the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains.

After they successfully occupied the Central Plains, they began to focus on promoting their martial arts and put forward a new concept of Mongolian cavalry and archery. If the lie is told ten thousand times, it will become true, and in line with the principle that whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, the Tartars themselves and their descendants believe it first, and they are still convinced.

Even when facing the firearms of the Ming army, they were obsessed, and they still felt that it was a crooked way of the evil sect, and they were also not their own opponents for riding and shooting.

So, when they witnessed the power of the crossbow with their own eyes, they were confused. The other party uses a bow and crossbow, but the power is stronger than a firearm, in front of such a weapon, his own cavalry is obviously a little not enough, is what the ancestor said false?

Self-questioning brought about a further demoralization, especially when they saw the heavy infantry in the front of the Ming army raising their shields, the heavy cavalry lifting the reins, and the large array slowly pressing forward, the Tartar army formation was scratched, exclamations came and went, and the formation became chaotic.

The fastest reaction was Wusu, who originally led thousands of cavalry from his headquarters to suppress the formation of Miyesi. If the Ming army's formation is disrupted, he will take the opportunity to advance; If the cavalry of the Ming army broke forward, he had to step forward to meet it, cut off the connection between the opposing cavalry and his own formation, and create opportunities for the army behind him.

However, in front of the Ming army's hurricane-like crossbows, all his plans fell through, and when he found that the Ming army began to press forward and he was the first to bear the brunt, he was even more like a frightened bird, and quickly retreated to his own position.

"King Khan, the crossbow arrows of the Ming army are powerful, and they are not capable of being the enemy, you hurry up and think of a way!" Usu spoke everyone's mind, and no one accused him of running away.

The little prince glanced at Wusu, but ignored him, thinking of a way? What can I think of, in the face of long-range weapons, the best way is to rush to the front, so that long-range weapons can not be used, but in the process of charging, you will definitely have to suffer huge casualties.

In the past, it was the enemies of the Mongols who had a headache with this problem, and they were very proud, but now it was their turn, but looking at the expressions of this group of people, who was willing to sacrifice?

He sighed secretly, he had known that he would bring more people into the customs, the Tatar Department is the number one force in the steppe, and the herdsmen are known as all the soldiers, of course, there will not be only 100,000 soldiers, and the little prince will bring elite with him.

In addition to these elites, the various tribes are also gathering, and when his side opens up the situation, they will swarm down, just like they did more than two hundred years ago. The combat strength of those ordinary shepherds is ordinary, and it will only be a burden if they are brought in, so the little prince did not pay attention to them. But in the current situation, they are very much needed to be cannon fodder.

However, it's too late to say anything now, those tribes are still thriving, and it is very close to Kouxuan Mansion, but it is too far away from Yingzhou, and the whip is out of reach.

"King Khan, why don't you attack the left flank of the Ming army, there are all cavalry, and if you don't use crossbows, you can't use crossbows?" "As long as the left flank is broken, you can form a trap on the Ming army, no matter how powerful their crossbows are, they can't cope with attacks from two or even three directions." ”

"Yes, King Khan, Wusu is willing to make meritorious service and lead his troops to attack the left flank of the Ming army!"

"King Khan, I am also willing!"

"King Khan, you can't hesitate any longer......"

Usu was the first to jump out, and the other leaders received the revelation and asked for battle. The Ming army on the left flank is a heavy armored cavalry, under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to fight hard with the other party, but compared to that terrible strong crossbow, the heavy armored cavalry is nothing, at least they can fight face to face with the other party, right?

Although the morale of the Tartars was not as high as when they first entered the customs, the leaders had no intention of withdrawing their troops. Even if you don't consider the losses of the Ming army when they were chasing and killing, just talking about entering the customs and returning empty-handed is already a terrible thing for them.

That means that you will be hungry all year next year, although Datong has sent a lot of food, but where is there enough for so many people to consume along the way? Moreover, all the tribes have abandoned their original pastures and are gathering to Xinghe, and if they go back empty-handed, I am afraid that more people will starve to death next year than they will die in a vicious battle.

Therefore, they must not back down, the strong crossbow is terrible, but hunger is even more terrible. At this moment, the steppe people finally forgot about those intrigues and tricks, stopped reporting those undeserved expectations, and restored the original surname of the hungry wolf.

War is a must be fought. No matter how powerful the crossbow is, it can't wipe out all 100,000 people on the way to charge, as long as it gets closer, you can give full play to the combat power and numerical advantage of the Mongolian warriors, and completely crush the Ming army.

However, if possible, the leaders still want to choose a relatively easy opponent to deal with, and there is no doubt that the first person to charge the crossbow will be the most miserable.

At a distance of about 200 paces, that crossbow bolt can still penetrate the human body effortlessly, and even have the power to carry the human body away, and the maximum range of that thing can only be described as terrifying. The leaders were secretly calculating, feeling that without 18,000 cavalry to fill in, they would definitely not be able to break through the crossbow array.

"What are you arguing about, look at your appearance, are you still worthy to be called a descendant of Genghis Khan?"

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the little prince finally reacted, he shouted, and after everyone quieted down, he sneered mockingly: "What is the level of the other party's light cavalry, you have also seen it, do you think that heavy cavalry is easy to deal with?" Think only the crossbow is the most terrifying? Don't forget, the Ming army still has firearms, even bows and crossbows, won't they improve firearms? ”

The leaders of the "......" were in their hearts, but the firearms they had been guarding against had not yet appeared.

"The order goes down, and the army slowly retreats, Eto, your men are already on the right flank, you take them out of the army formation and wander around the periphery...... Usu, you go to fill the position of the forehead. The little prince began to distribute orders with a blank face.

"Back off? However, ...... "This order is so strange, it is easy to have an accident in the face of a strong enemy retreating."

"Does anyone listen to the orders of my Khan?" The little prince shouted angrily: "If you are told to retreat, give me retreat, and if anyone is unwilling, give me the first charge!" ”

“…… Be. Seeing that he was really angry, everyone looked at each other, but they could only retreat.

"King Khan, the morale of the army is not high, if you retreat at this time...... "In the end, I dare not refute it in front of everyone, but I can still remind a few words in private." As the situation becomes unfavorable, morale will only gradually decline, and it is better to fight now than to fight again when there is no way back.

"Don't worry, the time hasn't come yet, when the time comes, the morale will soon rise, and it's not too late to fight again." The little prince's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes stared at the direction of the Ming army for a moment, and his words were a little unclear, but his tone was gloomy.

He didn't dare to say it anymore, even if he found out that his master's expression was a little wrong, although he looked at the array of the Ming army, his eyes were not focused, as if he was looking farther away. He glanced in that direction, and saw that the sky was blue, and the white clouds were long, and there was anything worth noting.

...... "The Tartars are actually retreating?" "It was too surprising to see that the Tartars would be so cowardly, and the staff officers such as Gentle Waiting, I thought that this battle would be extremely difficult, but now it seems that it has been won.

Is it true that the power of the new weapon is too strong? No wonder the emperor has always been so confident. Of course, the emperor's own strategic and tactical arrangements are also very decent, not only was he not interfered by the internal annihilation, but he used the internal annihilation to engage in psychological warfare, repeatedly weakening the momentum of the Tartars, so as to have the current effect.

"Is that how you won?" The third father-in-law didn't understand military affairs, and there was no place for him to speak in the military discussion, but he still couldn't help but talk to himself, it was too easy to win this battle.

"No, probably not, the Tartars have other plans."

Zhengde held a clairvoyant mirror and saw clearly that while the Tartars retreated, they divided a light cavalry and wandered around the edge of the battlefield, obviously to contain the Ming army. If the Ming army had charged, this cavalry would have been able to rush from the flank. Of course, it can also be said that this is for the sake of breaking off, but will the Tartars give up so easily?

"That's right, there is a conspiracy." Xie Hong agreed with Zhengde's statement, if the Tartars are so easy to deal with, then why do you need Qi Jiguang?

"Then ......" Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, and then offered a plan: "It is better to contain the light cavalry of the Tartars with a light horse, and then the army will quickly rush forward, attack it with a strong crossbow, and fight quickly." ”

"No, don't worry, just keep the current situation, and see if their conspiracy comes out first, or their morale collapses first." The corners of Zhengde's mouth twitched, and a smile suddenly appeared, and the smile was full of excitement.

"But ......"

"No, I'm here, with my soldiers, there's a conspiracy, just go ahead, I'll continue."

Zhengde waved his hand and said proudly: "The elite of the Tatar Department is almost all here, if they can be defeated in one fell swoop, or even killed, the frontier of the Ming Dynasty will be calm for a long time, and by the time they recover their vitality, the Ming Dynasty will be different." The industrial revolution that Big Brother said has begun, and I will not allow anyone to interrupt this process again! ”

He said categorically: "Therefore, this battle is very critical, and it must not be allowed to go so easily." ”
