On the wilderness plains, the remnant clouds have been lost, and the smoke and dust are rolling in on three sides, and at a glance it looks like the end of the world is coming. Countless turf www.biquge.info trampled in the flying hooves of horses, and the drought of the past few days had already scorched the earth to the point of smoke.

The result of overgrazing was inevitably the destruction of the ecological environment, and the drought had lasted for several days, and the cavalry of the army had passed the dry grass clippings mixed with dust.

Tang Ming saw from the telescope that the number of Tatar cavalry was far greater than he imagined, and this place was all plains, and there was no natural danger to rely on. With only 2,000 cavalry, the second party was certainly no match for the Tatar army.

A sharpshooter battalion of less than a thousand men was going to deal with so many cavalry, and he was always unsure. Li Dazhui had fought these Tatar cavalry several times, and he knew that their combat power was not trivial.

Although he was confident in the formation method created by Tang Ming, he still had not passed the test of actual combat. This will make him beat a drum in his heart, and his face will show a trace of timidity.

"Master Hou......."

Li Dazhui wanted to persuade Tang Ming to withdraw from the army first, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips, because the expression on Tang Ming's face had already told him that it was impossible to retreat.

Zhu Yong was also very hesitant, but he only hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Tang Ming's determined look, for some reason, his confidence suddenly returned to his body. His eyes were red as he stared at the rapidly approaching Tatar cavalry, and the warlike genes in his body had begun to stir.

Zhu Yong licked his chapped lips because he was too excited, and said to Tang Ming, "How is it?" How to fight them, give orders! ”

Tang Ming knew that it was wisest to retreat at this time to avoid its edge for the time being, but if he did so, it would inevitably demoralize the soldiers, and the next time he encountered the Tatar cavalry, he would definitely be afraid.

As the saying goes, what kind of generals have what kind of soldiers, and this first battle must not have the slightest retreat in any way. His eighty guards are veterans and have had the experience of a battle, so letting them set an example to everyone first will definitely improve morale.

Thinking of this, Tang Ming looked at Zhu Yong and nodded, and ordered: "Zhu Yong listens to the order, you lead your cavalry to live in the rear, ready to reinforce the sergeants on the left and right at any time." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Yong responded with a fist, and immediately rode his horse away, the military order was like a mountain, at this time, even if he wanted to take the cavalry battalion to a big battle with the Tatar soldiers, he still did not hesitate to obey Tang Ming's arrangement.

Tang Ming turned around and ordered the guards beside him: "All the guards listen to the order, you are at the forefront, once the Tatar cavalry enters the firing range, you can shoot without waiting for orders, remember, whether you can win this battle depends on your performance, give Lao Tzu a hard beat." ”

"Yes!"

The final guards responded in an uproar, and immediately lined up, and the queue that strode forward seemed very neat, and it seemed that the two days of training were not in vain.

"Li Dazhui listened to the order, you took four hundred spear battalion soldiers, guarded the left and right wings, and resisted Lao Tzu before the frontal enemy retreated, and if there was any mistake, he would come to see him."

Li Dazhui was shocked, and quickly received the order, the atmosphere on the battlefield has become more and more tense, and Li Dazhui's panic just now is under the infection of Zhu Yong and the eighty guards, this will also be a look of death.

The sharpshooter battalion is a battle-hardened division, but it is not as good as the soldiers who came with food at that time of Tang Ming, all of them are veterans, once the battle starts, the belligerent genes in their bones will be stimulated.

Eighty guards lined up in three rows, with flintlock pistols in hand, ready to give the enemy a head-on blow.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves calmed down after the sound of spring thunder, and the Tatar cavalry stopped on the flat ground three miles away and looked at Tang Ming's army in the distance. The atmosphere before the war made the soldiers' hearts beat faster and their breathing became heavier.

The Tatar cavalry paused only for a moment, and then sent a thousand cavalry to attack at the same time as the cavalry on the left and right. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and nearly three thousand cavalry marched in three directions in unison, carrying the smoke and dust flying in the sky and penetrating Tang Ming's army with a fierce momentum.

The momentum of the cavalry when they ran quickly was extraordinary, especially when they were getting closer and closer, and it gave the other party an unparalleled psychological pressure.

Tang Ming was standing on his horse at the moment, the telescope in his hand was tightly gripped, and he could see it more clearly from the telescope than all the soldiers present. The hideous faces of the Tatar cavalry seem to be within reach, and the galloping momentum of thousands of horses is like a torrent of tanks in later generations, with the ability to destroy the world.

Facing such an enemy, facing such a cavalry impact, Tang Ming was the most nervous of all the soldiers at this moment. When facing hundreds of cavalry, he can be calm, but in the face of several times the number of enemies, he is not so confident.

The charging distance of three miles was just the best charging distance for the cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry were like a huge dark cloud, and the dull sound of horses' hooves knocked on the earth, and at the same time struck the hearts of all the warriors.

The best firing distance of one hundred and fifty paces was approaching in the blink of an eye, and the eighty guards at the forefront bore the brunt of the tremendous pressure. Although they were equally nervous, they were still calm on the surface, the captain's resolute face could not see any expression, a pair of eyes stared at the ranging arrows in front of him, when the swept cavalry arrived at this position, the flag in his hand was waved down heavily, and at the same time shouted: "Fire!" ”

"Bang ......."

I don't know if it was due to nervousness or accident, the captain of the pro-soldier gave this order, and actually let the pro-soldiers and the soldiers on the left and right sides of the sharpshooter battalion shoot at the same time. The loud sound of nearly 300 flintlock muskets firing at the same time instantly drowned out the sound of galloping horses' hooves.

The horses of the Tatar cavalry were suddenly frightened, and the momentum of the forward rush could not help but be stunned, coupled with the bullets that followed, the queue of the Tatar cavalry was disrupted in an instant. The little confusion did not do any real damage to the Tatar cavalry, and they leaped over the corpses of their dead horses and rushed forward desperately.

A distance of one hundred and fifty meters for the Tatar cavalry took only a few breaths to reach. They also understood that although the Ming Dynasty's fire system was powerful, as long as they were close to them and rushed through this short distance, they could slaughter the Ming soldiers at will.

The smell of blood on the battlefield dissipated in an instant, and from the moment the battle began, both sides were racing against time, and the red-eyed hostile sides had already put life and death behind them, and all they saw in their eyes was each other's heads.

The Tatar cavalry continued to rush forward without dying, but it was at this time that something frightened them. When the first shots rang out, the superiority of the three columns was unmistakable, and the non-stop gunfire gave the Tatar cavalry a head-on blow. (To be continued.) )
