"The Haidu Department has begun to attack. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Through the clairvoyance, Zhang Jue said in a deep voice.

He was now standing on the ruins of the camp on the east side of Xingxing Gorge, and just in front of him, the camp of the Haidu Department was already in chaos, and even standing here, he could faintly hear the roar of the Mongols. And the earth even shook with the constant movement of a large number of cavalry.

"The number of cavalry, I'm afraid it's pouring out, and just now Haidu was still very quiet, I can't see anything abnormal at all, Haidu is really a good commander, but these small tribes under him are some unreliable wall grass, otherwise our Star Gorge may really not be able to hold it." Tang Zhen couldn't help but sigh on the side. Since Haidu can sit in this position, it must have its own merits, and now Haidu is showing its strong command ability.

More than 20,000 cavalry dispatched almost at the same time, and did not directly attack the camps of various tribes not far away, because these camps are almost one for every tribe, so once these cavalry attack head-on, it is equivalent to directly facing the chain of camp walls, so these cavalry teams are very simple to detour directly to the sides, because the cavalry of the various tribes in the camp has also been deployed from both wings.

As long as they can defeat the cavalry of these small tribes, no one will be able to control them, even if they are in the horse company camp.

The cavalry of the small tribes were clearly in full swing, and when the Mongol cavalry rushed out, they spread out in a circle on both sides, and the infantry of the brigade rushed up to the earthen ramparts on the outside of the camp. After confronting the Ming army in Xingxing Gorge for so long, the Mongols naturally had to prevent the Ming army's surprise attacks and night attacks, so these camps on the periphery were built very strongly, even including trenches and earthen ramparts, and they were definitely not something that could be captured casually.

Haidu naturally didn't expect to be able to rely on the cavalry to assault those few small village gates, so behind the cavalry, the infantry of the brigade poured out like a tide, and the trebuchets also turned their direction to aim at the location of these small tribe camps, as long as they gave an order, they could throw the stone bullets prepared for the attack on Xingxing Gorge on these camps.

This kind of large-scale return cannon trebuchet throws stone bullets that are difficult to withstand even ordinary city walls, let alone a thin layer of camp after all. It is precisely because of the reason why the lethality of this siege equipment is so huge, so all the siege equipment is basically in the hands of the Haidu Department, and these small tribes attached to the Haidu Department only have some small trebuchets, which are not even enough to tickle when smashed on the camp.

And the two sides are so close, it is the time to return to the artillery power.

Perhaps they had also noticed the movement of the return cannon, and the shouts erupted among the small tribal armies, apparently they had a deep shadow in their hearts about this weapon with great lethality.

"Prepare the brethren." Tang Zhen said in a deep voice, and the herald behind him also walked quickly, but Tang Zhen did not rush to give the order to attack, but looked at Zhang Jue, "Haidu has already moved out the return cannon, it seems that this time it is going to be real, when will we attack." ”

Zhang Jue squinted his eyes and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, let's see how Haidu is going to fight." You must know that we will definitely be dispatched when we hear such a big movement, and it is impossible for Haidu to really transfer all the troops over, at least a part of the army must come to guard it. ”

After a pause, a sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Jue's mouth: "What's more, the two tigers are fighting, it's not a bad thing for us, rushing over to defeat Haidu so early, then the Cyriji Department may not be able to lose its tail, it is better to take the opportunity to weaken the Cyriji Department with Haidu's hand, and we can also take the opportunity to see how much combat power these possible enemies have in the future." ”

Tang Zhen nodded, there are no so-called real allies in front of the war, in fact, they are all to achieve their own maximum interests, once the Ming army is dispatched so early, the Xili Jibu will inevitably lose little, and it is logical that because of the decisiveness of this battle, he will become the commander of those small tribes, and when the Ming Dynasty solves the Haidu, he will have to face a coalition army that is not weak, which is definitely not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. And if these small tribes are allowed to fight with Haidu first, and then the Ming Dynasty rushes forward, not to mention the serious loss of strength of the Haidu Department, these small tribes will be weakened and the prestige of Siriji will also be hit, and it will naturally be easier for the Ming Dynasty to establish rule in the Western Regions in the future.

Just when the two were talking briefly, the two cavalry teams in front of them who had fought side by side finally collided together, but soon Tang Zhen and they found out that they were tired, because the cavalry that rushed up from both sides of the Haidu Department did not want to really assault the cavalry of these small tribes, but left with one blow, directly around the camp in circles, and even drew out a cavalry to gallop towards the Xingxing Gorge, but this group of cavalry is about three or four thousand people, obviously trying to monitor the Ming army. The cavalry of the Haidu Division was originally more than the cavalry of these small tribes combined, as long as it was not a head-on fight, the deployment of a team would not really affect much combat power.

The cavalry of the Haidu Division gradually dispersed to both sides, and behind them, the cavalry of those small tribes suddenly divided into two ways, one way back to the camp to defend, and the other road closely pursued the cavalry of the Haidu Division. After all, the cavalry of the Haidu Department took the initiative to retreat like this, which also surprised them a little, and they did not dare to pursue it easily.

And at the next moment, the return cannon that had been waiting for a long time roared at the same time, and a large number of stone bullets smashed heavily in the camp, but the stone bullets fell on the wall and earthen rampart of the camp, and it was the wall on the south side of the camp facing the sea capital.

A large number of foot soldiers of the Haidu Division, who had originally followed the cavalry and moved forward, turned around at this time and rushed directly to the south wall. Not only were the leaders and chieftains of those small tribes shocked, but even Zhang Jue and Tang Zhen, who were watching the battle, changed their faces slightly, and they had to praise Haidu for fighting beautifully.

These small tribes are not strong enough in the first place, and Haidu also knows very well that even if Cyriji makes such a big move, and even completely tears his face, he is a cautious and cautious person after all, and often when a person is faced with major events, especially when commanding a war that can determine life and death, his originally inconspicuous character traits will be infinitely magnified, so Cyriji will not take the initiative to attack at all when he does not have an advantage in troops.

In this way, it seems that there is Da Ming standing behind Cyriji, but the initiative is still in the hands of Haidu, so Haidu put on a posture of attacking from the flanks with all his might, but in fact, it is to use cavalry to pull away the cavalry team of these small tribes, with Cyriji's character, he will definitely concentrate the infantry on both flanks to defend with all his strength to deal with the impact of cavalry and foot soldiers, and in the face of the retreating Haidu cavalry, he will take back the army attacking forward, lest Haidu design any trap, and take advantage of this opportunity, The Haidu Division's prepared return cannon can greet the enemy to its heart's content.

The place where the return artillery attack was not crowded with foot soldiers and cavalry, but the south of the camp where no one defended it at all, and at this time, the Haidu infantry who had already followed the cavalry to the two wings were almost about to cross the southernmost boundary of the camp, and when the wall of the camp not far from them collapsed, these foot soldiers just took this opportunity to frantically rush inside.

Because of the camouflage of the two flanks of the Haidu Department at the beginning, the small tribes did not arrange too many troops on the south side, and with the collapse of the southern wall, even the original vigilant soldiers were killed under the stone bullets of the return cannon, so these small tribe camps faced the large group of Haidu infantry soldiers who came like a tide, which was tantamount to opening the door.

Realizing this fatal problem, Cyriji hurriedly ordered cavalry support, but it was a pity that the cavalry of the Haidu Department turned around at the same time, biting the cavalry of the small tribes, these cavalry were panicked because the enemy suddenly rushed into the camp, and now the enemy pounced on the flanks and behind, which was naturally even more chaotic, plus the small tribes actually did not have much cooperation before, and even many small tribes also had a lot of contradictions because of various interests, and the cooperation was naturally greatly discounted. Maybe it's okay to join forces to fight a tailwind battle, and it's good to have the strength to fight in the face of the Haidu cavalry coming from all directions.

And the whole camp is also because of the sudden rush in the Haidu infantry and chaos, although the evacuation was carried out in advance, but there are still several tribes in the people and people have not withdrawn, most of these tribes are grassland tribes or oasis tribes, living by water and grass, when the army in the tribe moves, the tribe also moves, so in fact, most of the women, children, old and weak of the entire tribe are here, and it is naturally not so easy to evacuate all the people to a safe place in a short time.

As these people and people scattered and fled in panic, the infantry of the tribes who originally wanted to support to the south were also disrupted in formation, the screams of women, the curses of men and the cries of children filled the entire camp, and the foot soldiers of the Haidu tribe who rushed up like a fierce god waved the blades in their hands without the slightest hesitation, and people continued to fall down with screams, and the infantry of the tribes who were blocked by these chaotic troops and panicked people could only stare with wide eyes.

At this moment, a thunderous sound shook half of the sky, countless streamers whistled through the wind on the sandbar Gobi, and the explosion sounded in the group of Haidu cavalry who were responsible for monitoring the Ming army in Xingxingxia, and the fire was blazing, and the team of two or three thousand cavalry had fallen into complete chaos. Hundreds of tigers rushed together, and did not hesitate to show their ruthless attack and destructive power to the world.

A group of Ming cavalry roared out from the east side of Xingxing Gorge, the same soldiers were divided into two ways, the red banner danced in the wind, and before that Haidu cavalry could come to their senses, a large number of arrows completely swallowed them. The cavalry, which was divided into two groups, did not stop after shooting the arrows, and directly attacked forward, and the target was not the two armies that were in a melee, but directly aimed at the camp of the Haidu Division!

After these two cavalry, another cavalry of a small number rushed out, like a tide swept over the route of the cavalry just now, and the more than 2,000 cavalry in charge of monitoring the Haidu Department had been wiped out of the world in an instant, leaving only corpses and blood flowing all over the ground.

In the face of the Ming army's thunderous attack, no matter which side of the soldiers on the entire battlefield, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, such a scene could not allow them not to substitute themselves into the battle that began and ended like a whirlwind just now, in the face of the Ming army's hundred tigers rushing arrows, arrows and the final army swept away, can they still fight back?

The cavalry of the two armies of the Shence Army and the Tianxiong Army have taught an extremely vivid lesson to these enemies who have not carried out large-scale cavalry battles for a long time, and the current cavalry combat is far from the method used by Genghis Khan when he conquered the Western Regions.

There was also a large group of Ming infantry soldiers behind, perhaps compared to the cavalry in front, their appearance was not so terrifying, but when they saw seventy or eighty thousand infantry soldiers rolling out of the valley, all the Mongolian soldiers who were fighting were still pale.

Because they know very well that unconsciously, the Southern Barbarians have already occupied an absolute numerical advantage, and in terms of will to fight and the blades in their hands, they will also outperform themselves!

The horn sounded, and in the face of the Ming cavalry that came straight to him, Haidu did not hesitate to order the troops to be collected, if these Ming cavalry broke into their own camp, then this battle would not have to be fought. The cavalry of the Haidu Department is a strong army in the end, otherwise it is impossible to crisscross Central Asia and the Western Regions, and the cavalry team that was originally a little flustered because of the appearance of the Ming army seemed to have found the direction of progress at this time, and turned their horses' heads one after another, leaving behind the enemy who had been in chaos, and facing the Ming cavalry from the slope.

The cavalry of the Ming army did not turn in a hurry, but continued to urge the war horses, aiming directly at the Haidu camp that was getting closer and closer. The infantry behind them had already stopped partially, one shield and one anti-horse pistol neatly stopped, and with the shouts of the capitals, the shields suddenly parted to the sides, and the flying thunder cannons and artillery mounted on the carriage showed their hideous muzzles at the same time.

"Not good!" When the cavalry of the Haidu Division saw these two firearms that had made them suffer, their faces changed greatly, and the momentum of the original charge froze, and then the neat team separated to both sides in a disorderly manner, and the artillery and flying thunder artillery were already roaring at the same time.

Although the Mongol cavalry reacted quickly, many people were still affected by the explosives thrown by the shells and flying thunder cannons, and the explosions occurred one after another, and the cavalry fell from their horses screaming. And the crossbowmen of the Ming army also aimed at the target at this time, and the arrows rained down.

When there were not so many firearms before, if you want to block the Mongolian cavalry, whether it is the former Song army or the Ming army at that time, you need to rely on flesh and blood to fight with it with the support of shields and horse rejection guns, but with the successive installation of firearms and the development of more large firearms, firearms and bows and crossbows have been able to form far and near fire suppression.

The Mongolian cavalry roared and attacked the Ming formation, but the spears and arrows flying from the gap had already invisibly doomed their fate. And the red flag is flying, more Ming army foot cavalry from the Xingxing Gorge poured out, these are the reorganized Tubo army, after the Ming army systematic training in the past few months and a large number of armor and blade change, although these Tubo soldiers and the Ming army There is still a certain gap, but it is not a grade at all before it, especially in the face of the Ming Dynasty's heavy reward - Tubo is attached to the Ming Dynasty, and its people originally have the identity of the Ming people, so the Ming can only take the way of heavy reward - these Tubo soldiers are naturally desperate.

When the Tubo soldiers entered the Mongolian cavalry from the flank and rear, even these Haidu cavalry had a very high fighting spirit, and finally couldn't hold on to collapse at this time, and a large number of cavalry turned their horses and wanted to retreat, but they found that they didn't know when, a group of Ming cavalry had detoured back to the side close to the camp, and the cavalry of those small tribes also came up in time to prepare for revenge, and the two armies completely blocked the road for the retreat of the Haidu cavalry!

Here, for the nearly 20,000 cavalry of the Haidu Division, it is already a dead place.

"Kill!" Countless Da Ming foot soldiers roared angrily and rushed out from the open shields, and Rulin's spears were flattened at the same time, like waves of wheat undulating.

"Kill!" The cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of those small tribes instigated their horses, and the horse lances and sabers in their hands were dazzling.
