Yuan Chonghuan was having breakfast, and Liu Yuyan, the commander of the Third Division, was by his side.

Suddenly, there was a sound of shaking on the ground, and the soup in the soup pot on the dining table was also shaking violently.

"Oh no, there's going to be an earthquake." Yuan Chonghuan was shocked and hurriedly dropped the dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Yuyan listened carefully and felt that it was wrong, "The military seat, it's not an earthquake, it seems to be a cavalry." ”

"Cavalry? Where did the cavalry come from? Could it be that Ning Xianlong came to pick us up? Yuan Chonghuan picked up the rice bowl on the table and took another sip.

"Commander, the cavalry is in such a hurry, it doesn't look like they are coming to meet us, unless they have an emergency."

Yuan Chonghuan was calm, and he could already vaguely hear the sound of hurried horses' hooves, "Could it be that Jiannu is here?" Do they dare to cross Jinzhou? ”

"Military, be prepared." Liu Yuyan became anxious.

"Flintlock pistols, arrays; Artillery, ready. Yuan Chonghuan also felt that he should prepare as soon as possible, if Jiannu's cavalry came, and the gunners did not line up in formation, then the entire Third Division would become Jiannu's baked cakes, and it would be strange if they were not prepared to step into meat puree.

The brass horn of the Ming army came out with a rapid music, and all the soldiers immediately put down their dishes and chopsticks and began to walk into their respective posts.

Eighteen hundred gunners, divided into three rows, on each side of them were a thousand cavalrymen on the left and right sides.

But the artillery was too heavy, and the gunners were nervously moving the artillery.

"Da-da-da-da." The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and faster.

The artillery has not yet arrived, Yuan Chonghuan is in a hurry, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, if it is Jiannu who comes, there must be a lot of people, in the field, if there is no artillery suppression, the speed of the Jiannu cavalry will not be reduced at all.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Yuan Chonghuan kept urging the artillery.

Jiannu's horse speed was too fast, and he could already see the galloping horse and the figure on the horse, because of the distance, the horse looked in his eyes, about the size of a tanuki.

Fifteen artillery pieces are still far from the stage of deployment to actual combat, and if the gunners in front can't stop Jiannu's cavalry, then Jiannu's horses are bound to rush into the gunners' formation. Once in close combat, the flintlock pistol is a pile of scrap metal, not even as good as a burning stick, and the hand-to-hand combat ability of the gunners is far from the same level as the cavalry of Jiannu.

The beads of sweat on Yuan Chonghuan's head kept rolling down, and Liu Yuyan on the side was also nervous.

Suddenly, Yuan Chonghuan thought of an idea, there were as many as 10,000 soldiers in the third division, so behind the gunners, there would be another gun formation. If the gunners in the front of the gunners rush into the queue of gunners in front, although the gunners in the front three rows lose the ability to block the gunners, the gunners in the back three rows can resume the heavy duty of blocking the gunners.

However, in this way, the three rows of gunners in front may be reduced to the fish of Jiannu.

Since it is a war, casualties are inevitable, and Yuan Chonghuan has no other good way for the time being.

With the wave of the flag, behind the 1,800 gunners, at a distance of 80 paces, another 1,800 soldiers were formed.

"Da-da-da-da."

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more harsh, and both people and horses appeared in Yuan Chonghuan's sight, looking at the costume, leather armor and hat, and the figure was quite strong, it could be seen from the horses running just that it was indeed Jiannu's cavalry. He glanced at the artillery, and none of them were in place.

It seems that the artillery is out of sight.

Yuan Chonghuan yelled at the cavalry on both flanks: "If the gunners can't withstand the onslaught of the Jiannu cavalry, you immediately rush forward, first throw a grenade at the Jiannu cavalry, and then intercept them." ”

"Military seat, Jiannu's cavalry is about to enter the range of flintlock pistols." The observer reminded Yuan Chonghuan.

"The gunners are ready, and when they enter a hundred paces, shoot immediately, trying to keep Jiannu at bay on the perimeter." Yuan Chonghuan didn't know how many cavalry Jiannu had, and whether the gunners could stop Jiannu's cavalry, but his expression was already very calm, and he must not let the soldiers see the panic in his heart.

"Throne, a hundred steps." The observer reminded Yuan Chonghuan again.

"Shoot." Yuan Chonghuan's deep voice quickly passed in the ears of the gunners.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

Six hundred rounds of ammunition quickly left the muzzle of the gun and fired at the front of Jiannu.

The Jiannu in front suddenly turned on their backs, and some of the Jiannu who were not injured were tripped by the horses in front because they were defenseless, and then trampled by the horses behind.

The bullets were concentrated in a hundred steps, and there were not many Jiannu who were shot, but there were dozens, but most of the Jiannu who were shot were shot several times, and they didn't even let out a groan, and they were already dead for three thousand miles.

Yue Tuo heard the gunshots and also saw the soldiers fall off their horses, but the casualties of the soldiers were not clear for the time being, he had no intention of stopping the attack, Yuan Chonghuan took his Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and now in front of him, he would not let Yuan Chonghuan go.

Field warfare is the world of the Jurchen cavalry, even if the number of Ming Dynasty troops is large, but these tofu troops are by no means the opponents of the Jurchen cavalry, besides, even if they can't fight, they can still escape, anyway, the Ming army can't catch up with his cavalry.

Put yourself in an invincible position first, and then seek victory.

This is the first time that Yue Tuo and Yuan Chonghuan have met on the battlefield, and he must not lose to the Ming army in momentum, otherwise, the psychological advantage over the Ming army accumulated over the years is likely to disappear in a battle.

There was only a slight delay in the cavalry of Jiannu, and then quickly resumed the formation of the forward charge, and once again entered the range of a hundred paces.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

Another 600 rounds of ammunition, and dozens of Jiannu were dismissed, and what happened just now was repeated again.

The Jiannu soldiers in front paused, but without Yue Tuo's orders, they attacked the Ming army again, and the archers were ready, and once within their range, their arrows would be fired into the Han without mercy.

Because Jiannu in the back couldn't see the situation in front, his horse speed did not slow down at all, and he squeezed together with the soldiers in front.

The two columns of Jiannu suddenly turned into four columns, and the number of Jiannu soldiers who rushed into a hundred steps suddenly doubled.

It was still 600 rounds of ammunition, but now the number of Jiannu has doubled, the number of casualties has increased, about 100 soldiers have fallen to the death line of 100 paces, and the number of wounded Jiannu soldiers has also increased greatly, and the screams and moans are almost the same as the clatter of horses' hooves.

There were four columns of Jiannu, and the two columns of Jiannu in the center were protected by the bodies of Jiannu on both sides, and although there were some casualties, in the end there were still people who crossed the death line of 100 paces.

Yue Tuo also found out that the Jurchen soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, but since the sergeant had crossed the blockade of the Ming army's flintlock rifles, he would never let his soldiers stop.

The soldiers in the first row had already loaded their ammunition and fired all their bullets at Kennu again. This time, they were aiming at the Jiannu soldiers who were at the front and had already crossed the 100-step death line.

One hundred and ten soldiers of Jiannu fell from their horses at great speed, and they were either concentrated by bullets and eventually bled to death, or trampled to death by the horses behind them.

But more Jiannu soldiers crossed the 100-step death line, and they had already begun to fire back at the Ming army.

"It's not good, Jiannu has broken through the line of defense of the flintlock pistol." Liu Yuyan was horrified when he found that a gunman had fallen under Jiannu's bow and arrow.

Yuan Chonghuan also found out that Jiannu had broken through the defensive line, and they would not only shoot arrows at the Ming army, but would soon enter the blind spot of the flintlock pistol, "Cavalry, attack." ”

The cavalry on both sides of the gunners had long been ready to attack, and when they saw the flag waving, they clamped the horse's belly and tried to increase the speed of the horse to the extreme, increasing the impact of the cavalry.

Except for less than a hundred Jiannu who had already crossed the cavalry of the Ming army and continued to charge the gunners, the rest of the Jiannu were intercepted by the Ming cavalry on both sides.

The three teams of cavalry, like two mudslides that have nurtured huge energy, hedged against each other, collided, slashed and even tore at each other on the vast plains.

The Jiannu cavalry had a strong individual combat capability, but they were smaller in number, only about five hundred soldiers, and the Ming army's individual combat capability was much weaker, but the two teams of Ming troops had two thousand men, four times the number of Jiannu.

The combat effectiveness of the two cavalry was equal, and the impact of the two torrents caused even a huge vibration on the ground.

The battle of the cavalry is not to carry out a desperate life-and-death battle, the two sides are close at the touch of a button, and the soldiers often have only one face to face each other, they compare strength and speed.

The cavalry of both sides staggered past each other, and after each leaving behind dozens of corpses, they had already disengaged.

Now the formations of both sides are a little chaotic, the northernmost is the cavalry of the Ming army, and then the cavalry of Jiannu, but the south is the infantry of the Ming army, which has little defensive ability, and there are nearly a hundred Jiannu in the infantry formation of the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Ming army was not an independent fighting class, they were on both sides to protect the infantry gunners who had no defensive ability, and the cavalry of Jiannu was under the noses of the gunners, and the form was extremely critical.

"U-turn and strike." The commander of the cavalry regiment did not have time to count the casualties of his comrades, so he immediately changed the rear team into the front team and launched a suicidal assault on the cavalry of Jiannu.

Jiannu's cavalry might be able to charge at the Ming gunners, and if that did, they would leave their backs to the Ming cavalry.

Yue Tuo absolutely believed in his cavalry, he would never leave the backs of his soldiers to the Ming army, and attacking forward and crushing the enemy had always been the guarantee of Jurchen victory.

Yue Tuo's cavalry also turned their horses' heads and collided head-on with the Ming cavalry again.

Although the number of Jiannu was far less than that of the Ming army, the cavalry hedged, and they did not fall behind at all.

The two sides fought again from the front of the line to the rear, and then disengaged.

Nearly 100 Jiannu who rushed into the flintlock pistol formation had already killed the gunner's blind spot, they threw away their bows and arrows, and used their sabers in their hands to wantonly kill the gunners who had no ability to fight back, and the Ming Dynasty Tofu Army was once again shown in front of them, they were too familiar with this feeling, although they were not worth a fraction of the Ming army in numbers.

But the gunners of the Ming army, each platoon of 600 people, the gunners in the middle lost the ability to return fire, and the gunners at both ends could still shoot, although this kind of shooting could also hurt their comrades.

The Jiannu on horseback was much taller than the gunners of the Ming army, and it was the target of the gunners at both ends.

Now there is no way to fire a salvo, and whoever loads his ammunition will shoot at Jiannu.

It was a scuffle, around a small cluster of Jiannu, the gunners were rolling and running, but how could the speed of the people be comparable to the horses of Jiannu, although the gunners all pulled out their sabers at their waists and slashed at Jiannu, but under the impact of the Jiannu cavalry, they were just like an oil lamp in the sea, looking lonely and helpless.

Flying limbs, mutilated bodies, spurting blood, and screams that made Yuan Chonghuan feel frightened......

But the gunners on both sides were not idle, and the tyrannical Jiannu became fewer and fewer, and Jiannu continued to fall under the flintlock pistol, until there were only more than 20 Jiannu left.

Jiannu obviously found that the number of Ming troops was too large, and they couldn't kill these gunners for a while, and they noticed the military chess of the Ming army, which must be where the commander of the Ming army was.

There was a long roar from Jiannu, and then all the Jiannu gave up the gunners and ran towards the Sun and Moon Banner of the Ming Army.
