"The whole cavalry team is a hundred steps forward!!"

Wang Tong gave a loud order, and the herald on the cart began to use copper whistles and flags to transmit the fate to the horse team, and Ma Sanbiao, who was on the right side of the cavalry queue, raised the knife in his hand and tilted forward. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The flag beside Ma Sanbiao also swung forward, and when it finally stopped, the banner slanted forward, and the cavalry brigade that was just facing each other began to move, the number of times the flag swung and the angle of inclination represented the way and degree of the team's action, although the cavalry of the brigade was moving, but it was just walking slowly.

This is the first time that the Ming army has begun to attack since the deployment of the two armies, and under the tactic of the car formation, the car formation itself is a torso covered with long thorns, and the cavalry outside the camp is used to attack the limbs and weapons.

With a large-scale movement of nearly 5,000 horsemen, the Tartars naturally did not fail to react, and the Chinese army, which had just traveled slowly, came out of the array again and moved forward.

And this time, the Chinese army that came out of the battle almost had more than 4,000 cavalry, and the queues on both sides of him were also ready, ready to face the Ming cavalry with superior strength at any time.

Now the center of the battle was the confrontation between the cavalry of the two sides, but it was not all, and the Tartar heralds could be seen running from the golden banner to the other ranks, and thousands of horsemen and brigades broke away and began to move towards the west side of the entire battlefield.

"The enemy has several thousand cavalry to the west!!"

In the center of the Huwei army's position, four carts have been used to build a wooden platform, the watchtower is on the wooden platform, Wang Tong is also on the wooden platform, hearing this report, he surrounds the watchtower, staring at the cavalry queue that suddenly separated.

The direction of the movement of the Tartar cavalry queue, but marching towards the flank of the Jizhen side car formation, did not move on his side, and Li Hutou shouted loudly:

"The 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Battalion of the Musketeers is reloading ammunition and preparing to switch firing positions!!"

Li Hutou and Tan Bing divided the entire car battalion into two areas, one was responsible for half of it, and although the direction of the current movement of the Tartar cavalry was separated by a partial car formation, the Huwei army had to make arrangements in advance.

"No, no, the Tartars have just carried out a test attack on both positions, and they won't just set up containment on the side of Jizhen!"

Wang Tong frowned and observed that he was talking to himself, and then raised his voice and shouted:

"Gunners, artillery teams, archers are ready, no orders, no random fire!!"

The following agreed with a bang, but Wang Tong's order had no practical significance, that is, it was just an arrangement on the battlefield, and Wang Tong was a little anxious.

In the face of the advantage and his own Tartar army car battalion, of course, it will not move lightly, but in this way, it has also lost its position of taking the initiative to attack, and can only watch the opponent's army make a move, only then will the other party drive the old and weak to try to attack, what to do next, Wang Tong does not know, it is precisely because he does not know, so he is anxious.

Several battles with the Tartar soldiers and horses, several times there are different situations, which means that there is always a deviation in the response in advance, which feels very bad.

"The enemy army in the middle of the army opened its mouth to the west, and a group of foot soldiers appeared who seemed to be foot soldiers, more than 3,000 people............

Even the soldiers on the watchtower are not very sure, in fact, even if Wang Tong is located, it is easy to see the new foot soldiers of the other party, there are still foot soldiers on the grassland, why would the Mongols, who are mainly cavalry, abandon the cavalry with stronger mobility and stronger impact, and use the foot soldiers.

The answer is very simple, Wang Tong reacted in the next moment, this is the middle of the Jiajing year when the foot soldiers composed of Han people, Shanxi and Datong had a very large scale of plague, a large number of Han people in order to avoid the plague outside the Saiwai plus the rise of the Altan department, in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of captives in the city of Guihua, there are nearly 200,000 Han people, such a population size, enough to make up an army composed of Han people, far more than 3,000 troops.

The reason why it can be called a squad is because of the cavalry around this array, and it looks like the herdsmen who are driving the sheep on their horses, and because of the drive of these cavalry, this infantry team moves forward slowly.

"Marshal, the east side of the Tartar military town has also spoken, and thousands of foot soldiers are going to the military formation of Jizhen Town!"

The number of foot soldiers over there is relatively large, and it seems that the Tartars' judgment of the strength of the Ming army is based on the size of the military array and the number of people.

"The enemy is on the front, ready to attack, ready!!"

The shouts of the generals below came and went, and the situation was similar to that of Jizhen, but at this time, I heard the sound of the gong in Jizhen hurrying, the positions of the two armies were separated, and the military order was also implemented in accordance with the original rules

Sure enough, the Tartar cavalry that had just rounded back to the west came to the flank of the chariot formation, and on the big cart opposite the Jizhen chariot array, a person hurriedly ran down from the cart and came to Wang Tong's side to report loudly:

"Dashuai, letter from Jizhen, please send a horse team to support!"

After the Ming army's horse team stepped forward a hundred steps, it stopped, and the Tartar cavalry team opposite him no longer stepped forward, Wang Tong probably glanced at the battlefield, nodded and said:

"Order, Ma Yong led 3,000 cavalry to listen to the order under Vice General Yang, and Ma Sanbiao and Zhang Lei guarded the side!"

The herald shouted the order and ran towards that side, if Zhang Lei, who was originally from Jizhen, was sent to lead the horse team, if there was really an urgent need to transfer back, it might not be too convenient, and with Datong Town Ma Yong to lead, there was no need to worry about this.

"Check the emerald medicine reloading, check that the arquebus is complete!!"

The fire gun officer below began to order, and Mu En and Zhang Wu also loudly ordered the artillery artillery to start rectifying the artillery, and Mu En hesitated there, but still rode to the side of the wooden platform and asked:

"Marshal, how is the artillery shooting this time!?"

From the beginning of the battle to the present, Mu En's side has been a little depressed, he has been in the artillery team for a long time, and the roar of the artillery seems to be the sky falling apart, and the feeling of the thunder explosion is very infatuated and happy, but from the beginning to the present, Wang Tong does not let him do it, and feels depressed.

"Steady, wait for my orders!"

Wang Tong looked at the battlefield in the distance and ordered in a deep voice, Mu En was depressed in his heart, but the military order was like a mountain, and it still had to be implemented, so it was naturally ambiguous.

Since Wang Tong has no new orders, the current use is still a catty cannon, which is no different from setting off firecrackers for the soldiers of the artillery team, which is really boring.

The queue of foot soldiers sent by the Tartars was getting closer and closer under the drive of the cavalry, but these foot soldiers, compared to the old and weak cavalry that had just rushed into battle, cowered, and the Tartar cavalry that drove them forward kept cutting down people, and under the threat of death, they kept coming forward.

"Dashuai, the cart on the Tartar side has moved, heading towards the main formation and the Jizhen side respectively!"

Tartar carts? Wang Tong wondered in his heart, pondered for a while, but was shocked by something else, and shouted angrily there:

"Why don't you fire!!"

According to the previous signs of the military formation, the forward of the infantry soldiers had already stepped into the firing range, but neither the musketeers nor the artillery had fired, and on the contrary, there was still some commotion on the side of the musketeers and artillerymen.

"Dashuai, these foot soldiers are Han Chinese!!"

I don't know who said something in the queue, the Huwei army is strictly disciplined, but the distance between Wang Tong and the soldiers below is not so far, at this time, almost the generals to the soldiers below are hesitant, and everyone doesn't know what to do.

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and shouted loudly:

"They are Han Chinese, but they are working for the Tartars, are they bare-handed? If they rush up, will they be soft on you? ”

The howls of the cries outside can be heard clearly in the military formation, all from the Shanxi area. Yin, it is indeed Hanmin, there was silence in the military formation, and Wang Tong said loudly:

"They have weapons in their hands, why don't they fight with the Tartars around them, why do they rush forward, you have to pity such a bastard and hateful person, your own life!?"

The foot soldiers who were driven by the Tartars entered the firing range, and when they saw the corpses of the men and horses lying there, they were all trembling with fear, and they didn't know what to do, but the Tartar cavalry who drove them did not have the slightest intention of being soft, and the sabers of several feet long were directly chopped down, and their hesitant companions were hacked to death one by one, and the blood and screams forced them to keep moving forward.

After eighty paces, a Tartar shouted in Chinese:

"Rush, they won't fire, rush over, and I'll give you a way to live!!"

The footsteps of the Han people who were coerced gradually accelerated, all the Han people may not dare to start, rush over, I can live, if the Ming army on the opposite side moves, we will not be soft, in the face of life and death, what righteousness, what nationality, these ignorant people can't care at all.

The men at the front began to run, the crowd began to speed up, they rushed up with red eyes, weapons clenched, howling.

Eighty steps...... Seventy steps...... Sixty steps...... Fifty steps...... As they got closer, the Tartar cavalry that drove them began to gather their formation, following behind the ranks of the foot soldiers, and the situation became dangerous in an instant......

"Fire!!"

The general of the Huwei army shouted loudly, but there was no fire gun immediately followed, and the team of Tartar foot soldiers rushed a few more steps, only a few fire guns fired, then a dozen, then dozens of guns, and then hundreds, the fire guns roared into a piece, and the momentum of the Tartar foot soldiers was forcibly stopped forty steps away from the car formation.

After the firecracker finished shooting a firecracker, he took the second one handed behind him, and continued to shoot, as if a huge scythe was waving in front of the array, and every time he swung it, a large number of lives were harvested, and a large number of people fell......
