The little prince of Tartary came again, originally wanted to take advantage of the early morning to catch the Ming army off guard, but I didn't expect that it was still foggy this morning, in fact, this is also normal, there can often be fog in the winter in the north, not to mention that it is now the wax moon, and sometimes it is common for fog to appear for several days.

However, it is precisely because of the fog that the little Tatar prince's raid plan went bankrupt, and when the sun rose in the east and the fog dissipated, he found that the Ming army in front of him was full of swords and guns, ready to fight, and what the little Tatar prince did not expect was that the Datong army, which was almost destroyed yesterday, had high soldiers, without any sense of decadence, which surprised him, and he was originally seven points sure that now there were only five points left.

Zhengde on the opposite side looked at the steppe cavalry slowly appearing in the mist, and his heart was also nervous, although he rushed to kill yesterday, but the surrounding soldiers naturally couldn't let him really go into battle to kill the enemy, so in the end he didn't even see the appearance of the Mongols clearly, the other party retreated, today is his real first time on the battlefield, although the art of war he learned before is exquisite, but it still needs to be tested in actual combat, which makes him have little confidence.

However, although Zhengde was apprehensive in his heart, it was his biggest dream in his life to go into battle to kill the enemy, and now he was on the battlefield, and in front of him was the Mongols who had been driven away from the Central Plains by his ancestors, which made him suddenly more confident, what his ancestors could do, then he would definitely be able to do it, and even better than Taizu and Chengzu.

Thinking of this, Zhengde is also full of confidence. At that moment, he drew the sword at his waist, pointed at the Mongolian cavalry in front of him, and shouted: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

Zhengde as the emperor, but he stood in front of the battle with armor and sword, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can have his courage, I am afraid that only the founding Taizu and Chengzu, and the emperor personally commanded the battle, which will have an immeasurable impact on the morale of the Ming army, so with the roar of Zhengde, the Ming army in front of the formation also roared three times. Murderously charged towards the cavalry of the little prince of Tatar.

The little prince of Tatar did not understand why it was only one night. The Ming army on the opposite side became so morale-high, but he was also extremely conceited, especially the Ming army gave up the fortified city and did not defend it, but fought with their cavalry. Except that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Ming Dynasty could outperform them in the field. The steppe people after never lost in the field.

That's why. Therefore, when the little Tatar prince saw that the Ming army took the initiative to charge again, he couldn't help but sneer, and immediately ordered his cavalry to meet the enemy head-on. He didn't believe that the infantry of the Ming Dynasty could be stronger than his own cavalry, even at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was also cavalry against cavalry, so that the grassland cavalry was defeated, and now the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has long been no longer the elite of the early Ming Dynasty, how can they resist their iron cavalry?

However, the little prince of Tatar was wrong this time, to be precise, his concept was outdated, only cavalry could defeat cavalry before, but with the invention of new weapons, the restraint cavalry is no longer only cavalry, but there is another choice, for example, Zhengde has mastered a way to restrain cavalry, this method is firearms.

The little prince of Tatar only cared about commanding the cavalry to charge and kill, but he didn't realize that on the battlefield between them and the Ming army, there was a long distance of new soil, and when the steppe cavalry was about to rush to this battlefield, Jiang Bin behind Zhengde immediately ordered someone to set fire.

"Boom boom boom~" With a sound like muffled thunder, the grassland cavalry who had just rushed over found that the ground under their feet was exploding, as if the ground suddenly sounded thunder, many cavalry people and horses were blown up into the sky, and at the same time the broken iron pieces and stones on the ground flew wildly, many cavalry and war horses were injured, and for a time the neighing and screaming of horses on the battlefield were endless, and the blood stained the earth red.

When Zhengde went out of Beijing this time, Zhou Zhong researched a lot of new firearms, mines are one of them, but this kind of mines are still very primitive, can only be detonated by ignition, if it is used unexpectedly on the battlefield, it can play a miraculous effect, but if it is known by the grassland people in advance, it has no effect, after all, people riding horses, can quickly bypass the minefield. In addition, this kind of mine needs to be detonated with a fire wire, which is very troublesome when installing, so Zhengde only buried more than 200 mines in one night, and the real detonation is estimated to be only 60,000, and most of the rest are because of carelessness when burying, so that the lead did not burn to the end, and naturally it will not explode.

The lethality of the mine of black powder is limited, but it explodes from the ground, which has a miraculous effect on the cavalry, after all, even if it can't kill the war horse, it can make the war horse injured and frightened, so the cavalry of the steppe people was blown up by the mine for a while, which made their pace of charging slow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the artillery on both sides of the Ming army finally fired, this time Zhengde brought more than 200 artillery pieces at once, and it was precisely because there were too many artillery pieces that the speed of reinforcements was naturally not fast, and finally Wang Xun's Datong army was wiped out, but now it is finally time for these artillery to exert their might.

"Boom Boom Boom~" more than 200 artillery salvos, which Zhou Zhong specially told Zhengde, because the battlefield history of later generations has proved that artillery, the god of war, can only be used in a centralized manner, and the effect achieved is far more than one plus one equals two, especially the scene of more than 100 artillery salvos, which can be compared with the opening of the world, the kind of power that the world is trembling, so that the Ming army is excited again, and most of the grassland cavalry are as white as the earth, and their morale has been greatly reduced for a while.

It is also with the help of the power of artillery, when the army of the Ming Dynasty and the grassland cavalry meet, not only did not show any fear, but one by one is still full of courage, several people united to pull down the grassland cavalry on the horse, followed by a random chop, but this is also thanks to the previous mines and artillery, so that the grassland cavalry rushing in front suffered heavy casualties, and the cavalry's charge was also interrupted, so that the other party could not exert the speed and impact of the cavalry at all.

The little prince of Tatar did not expect that the other party's Ming army would be so brave, especially the Datong army that was surrounded by himself yesterday, and now it seems to be a different person, whether it is a general or a non-commissioned soldier, one by one is not afraid of death, some wounded soldiers are desperate for their lives, but also to hold the horse legs of the steppe cavalry, and exchange their lives for the life of a cavalry, if yesterday's Datong army is so brave, I am afraid that the little prince of Tatar would have been defeated a long time ago.

However, even if the start is unfavorable, the little prince of Tatar still did not retreat, after all, as a grassland overlord, tenacity is a necessary quality, it is impossible to give up because of a temporary setback, in addition, in recent years, their way south has been blocked by the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they can't grab anything at all, relying on the mutual market alone is not enough, and now all the tribes on the grassland are extremely scarce, not to mention anything else, salt and tea alone have made them suffer enough.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that when the little prince of Tatar saw that the front army was blocked, he immediately commanded the cavalry on both sides to attack separately, intending to tear apart the defense of the Ming army from the side, as long as the cavalry can rush into the Ming army, and then charge from the inside to the outside, this is much easier than breaking the defense of the Ming from the outside.

Zhengde saw that the front line under his command not only blocked the Mongolian cavalry, but also killed more and more bravely, which made him very excited, but also increased a lot of confidence in himself, when he saw the cavalry on both sides of the Mongols dispatched, he immediately commanded the Ming army to block, and at the same time let the artillery of the two Ji turn the muzzle and began to bombard the rushing cavalry, although the effect this time was not as good as the front formation, but it also made the Mongolian cavalry formation that rushed to kill chaotic.

I have to say that Zhengde is indeed very talented in military affairs, especially after he adapted to the atmosphere on the battlefield, he slowly brought out his military talents little by little, and he slowly felt comfortable commanding the army.

But soon Zhengde was no longer satisfied with the rear command, he drew his sword, and rushed to the front line of the battlefield with the guards, although Jiang Bin and others persuaded him not to take risks, but Zhengde was completely ignited by the atmosphere on the battlefield at this time, even if the Empress Dowager Zhang and Zhou Chonglai could not persuade him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Zhengde rode back and forth on the battlefield, constantly cheering for his soldiers, and even when he encountered his own side could not resist, he also personally stepped forward to fight, although the guards around him desperately blocked in front of him, to help Zhengde solve the rushing enemy, but where can the battlefield be taken care of, and finally once Zhengde in the right Ji to cheer up the soldiers, encountered a very strong Mongolian cavalry, although the number is not much, but it is extremely brave, the Ming soldiers who are blocking here are about to be rushed open by the other party.

At this moment of crisis, Zhengde threw away his command sword, drew out the machete used to kill the enemy, and rushed forward with a roar, and the surrounding guards were also killed and injured a lot at this time, and the defense force was insufficient, and the result was that a Mongolian officer broke through the defense line, and this Mongolian officer also saw that Zhengde who was surrounded by the crowd must be the main general in the army, if he can be killed, then the Ming army will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and he will be able to make the first contribution.

It is precisely with this mentality that this Mongolian officer grabbed the horse's ribs between his legs, roared and rushed towards Zhengde, with a hideous smile on his bloody face, in his opinion, the Ming general in front of him with fine skin and tender flesh was definitely not his opponent. When the surrounding Ming soldiers saw Zhengde in distress, they all screamed in surprise, but they didn't have time to rescue. (To be continued......)
