"Big Boss, Big Boss!"

Dozens of pro-soldiers shouted at the same time, rushing to the place where the rabbit was lying on his stomach and rescued the rabbit. The rabbit was dizzy by the explosion just now, and was involuntarily pulled up from the ground by the soldiers, and ran backwards. After running out for dozens of steps, the rabbit came back to his senses, struggled to stop, and raised his hand to give the nearest soldier a slap in the face.

"Who told you to pull me down? Before the leader of this great army ordered to retreat, those who retreated were beheaded! The rabbit roared.

"This ......" The soldiers were dumbfounded, they looked around, and found that the three thousand people who had just assembled had already retreated two or three hundred steps away, if according to Litu's words, these three thousand people would have to cut off their heads, this is not a joke.

Biyun stepped forward, gloating, and persuaded Li Rabbit: "Big leader, this is not a retreat, this is just a temporary avoidance." What the Ming army is fighting is just this new type of artillery, we only set up two false formations, and then we can find out their virtual reality, and the next step will be to determine our own tactics for their tactics. ”

"What tactics do you think we should use?" Ricky Rabbit asked, as if he hadn't said anything like the Retreat Slash just now. He also knew in his heart that as soon as the Ming army's cannon sounded, his cavalry was all frightened and retreated.

Biyun said: "The artillery of the Ming army can hit a distance of 800 steps, so as long as our cavalry gathers, they will open fire to disperse." In the opinion of the young generals, it is best not to assemble and disperse the charge, and their artillery will be useless. ”

"Distract the charge?" The rabbit pursed his lips, the group charge is the best way to reflect the power of the cavalry, if it becomes a scattered charge, the impact will be weak, which is equivalent to a refueling tactic. Your own side is very disadvantaged.

"Take another four hundred steps back, regroup, this time ......" Rabbit gritted his teeth and gave a new order.

The three thousand-man teams assembled for the second time could not be used, so they could only be pulled aside to rest first, just like the previous group of thousand-strong troops. He gathered the last four thousand troops and chose a place 1,200 paces away from the Ming army's position. Even after taking another 400 steps back, the rabbit kept muttering in his heart: The artillery of the Ming army will not be able to hit this place, right?

"Report to the general army of Xiao, the deputy general soldier of the Soviet Union, the Tatars are lining up again. According to the Admiral's sight, the place where they were lined up was 1,200 paces away from us. Xiong Minyang came to Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao. "Shall we change to a fifteen-hundred-step propellant and bombard them again?" ”

"No need." Xiao Ruxun raised his hand and shook it, and said, "The distance is 1,200 steps, and it is impossible for their horses to keep the fastest speed to run down, and when they run behind, the horses will be tired and unable to run." Bear General, you have to watch carefully, and wait until they are eight hundred paces from us. Just put a round of cannons, force them to speed up, and overdraw the horsepower in advance, so that in the second half. Their horses will run slower and slower, and they will be the target of our muskets. ”

"Order!" Xiong Minyang agreed and ran back to the team to arrange.

With a trembling mentality, the rabbit gathered the last 4,000 cavalry. Biyun stood aside, holding a telescope to observe the position of the Ming army for Litu, preparing to warn the other party as soon as there was movement. OK. Perhaps because the distance of 1,200 paces was beyond the range of the opponent's artillery, the Rabbit gathered his troops this time without being harassed by the artillery, and all the cavalry were ready to charge.

"What the Ming army fought was just some firearms." Zhu Li Rabbit cheered up his subordinates again, "When you charge for a while, the Ming army will definitely set artillery to block it, all of you remember that no matter how fierce the cannon on the opposite side is, as long as it doesn't hit you, you are not allowed to retreat." The artillery of the Ming army will be able to fight 800 steps, and if you rush through these 800 steps, the victory will be ours. All ready, charge! ”

With a wave of his hand, four thousand cavalry rushed out in unison. The Tatar cavalry knew very well about the physical strength of the war horse, and knew that it was impossible to maintain a high-speed charge at a distance of 1,200 paces. In the first four hundred steps, they slightly suppressed their speed, and by the time they were still eight hundred steps away from the Ming army's position, all of them were highly nervous, and their thighs couldn't help but start squeezing the horse's belly.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom! ”

To the surprise of the cavalry, at a distance of 800 paces, the Ming army really began to open fire. Shells fell in the charging ranks of the Tatar cavalry, and each explosion claimed the lives of several cavalrymen. As if they had received some unified order, all the Tatar cavalry at the same time slammed their horses' bellies and began to urge their horses to run as fast as they could, and their thoughts were the same, that is, to minimize the time spent on this charge.

Eight hundred, seven hundred, six hundred, five hundred...... The artillery of the Ming army was still roaring, and at the back of the charging queue, a mess of corpses of men and horses was left behind. The cavalrymen who had not been hit by the shells were still desperately urging their horses to charge, and no one noticed that the breath exhaled from the nose of the war horse under his crotch was getting hotter and hotter and more urgent, and the frequency of the horses' hooves hitting the ground was gradually decreasing.

400 steps, 300 steps...... The position of the Ming army was already clearly visible, several commanders shouted orders, and all the cavalry reached out and drew their bows from their backs, wound their arrows, and prepared to return fire with bows and arrows.

"Slam! Slam! ”

The artillery of the Ming army suddenly became mute, replaced by a series of gunshots like bursting beans. The Tatar cavalry had already entered the range of the Ming flintlock muskets, and the Ming musketeers, who had already been prepared, raised their flintlock muskets and pulled the trigger on the oncoming horse team.

This time, Su Hao took out all the equipment at the bottom of the box, and gathered 1,500 flintlock guns, divided into three rows, with 500 in each row. 500 projectiles flew in unison, and a rain of bullets suddenly formed in front of the position. The Tatar cavalry that rushed to the front only felt that something was flying in front of them, and before they had time to dodge, they had already been shot and fell off their horses.

"The Ming army has firearms!"

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

The officers of the Tatar cavalry shouted in unison, and many cavalrymen subconsciously raised their hands, drew their bows and arrows, and tried to return the Ming army with bows and arrows. When the arrows flew out, they realized that they were still 300 steps away from the Ming army, and at such a distance, bows and arrows could not be shot in front of each other at all.

"Rush. Rush forward! Rush to the front and release the arrow! ”

The crowd shouted, desperately urging the horses. How can they endure the charge ahead, they have used the strength of the war horse to the limit, and at this time, no matter whether they whip or kick with their feet, those poor war horses can no longer increase their speed by half a point, but have a tendency to run slower and slower.

"Slam! Impeach! Slam! ”

The opposing guns were still ringing tirelessly, and the three-stage firing made the interval between each two rounds drop to an almost negligible degree, in the ears of the Tatar cavalry. The gunfire was almost in a line, and there was no pause for a moment. A great sense of dread permeated the hearts of the Tatar cavalrymen, and everyone wondered if they would be able to rush to each other's positions alive.

The charging cavalry fell in droves, spreading a carpet of human flesh at the front of the battlefield. The cavalry behind could not take care of their comrades who had been shot and fell off their horses, so they could only urge their horses, step on the bodies of their comrades and continue to charge forward. Where the cavalry had charged, it was no longer possible to discern the shapes of those who had fallen to the ground, and all that could be seen was a terrible red.

Although there were 1500 flintlock pistols. But at the front line, which was about two miles wide, the firepower was still unable to form a complete blockade. The Tatar cavalry, with their numerical superiority, gradually approached the position of the Ming army while paying a heavy price. Arrived at a place only one hundred and fifty paces away from the Ming army. The Tatar bows and arrows finally began to wield, and rows of long arrows swept through the air and landed on the Ming positions, and the musketeers began to suffer casualties.

"Don't panic. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Xiao Ruxun and Su Hao rode back and forth along the position, loudly encouraging their subordinates. The musketeers held back their fear. According to the requirements of the original training, he continued to reload, aim, and shoot calmly.

"Big Chief, you have broken through the Ming Army!" In the rear of the Tatar army, Biyun watched the battle at the front with binoculars, and shouted with joy when he saw the Tatar cavalry begin to fire arrows. In his experience, at such a time, the Ming army was often about to begin to collapse, and then the Tatar cavalry rushed into the Ming army's position, completely defeating the Ming army like a withering and decaying state.

The rabbit also had a telescope in his hand, which Biyun had just given him. He held the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, his face became more and more ugly, and he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Someone, pass on my order quickly, and send another three thousand troops to reinforcements!" ”

Different from Biyun's optimism, Zhu Li Rabbit clearly saw that his cavalry had shown a decline that could not penetrate Lu Min at the end of the strong crossbow, and if he did not get timely reinforcements, these four thousand troops would probably all be lost in front of the Ming army's position.

At this moment, the rabbit regretted it so much that he even had the heart to hang himself. He underestimated the Ming army from the beginning, so he did not bring all the 20,000 troops with him, and only 10,000 cavalry came. When preparing to charge, he made another discount, sending only four thousand men at a time. Of course, he used his troops in this way, because the width of the position was insufficient, and 10,000 people could not be fully deployed. With the previous experience of Li Tu, in the face of a Ming army of 5,000 people, it was more than enough to use 4,000 cavalry to charge.

Who would have thought that empiricism kills people, and the Ming army in front of him is completely different from what Zhuli Rabbit has encountered in the past. In previous battles, the opponent could only use bows and arrows and firearms to stop the enemy at a distance of 150 paces, but the Tatar cavalry, as long as they dared to bear the sacrifice, they were able to break through this distance of 150 paces at a very small cost and enter the position of the Ming army.

And this time, the Ming army began to use artillery to block from a distance of 800 paces, and at a distance of 300 paces, it was replaced by a firebolt, and it was an extremely perverted three-stage shooting, which was far more lethal than a bow and arrow. In the charge just now, the Rabbit could clearly see that from the position of three hundred paces, his cavalry had to pay the price of several people falling off their horses almost every step forward. By the time they had reached a hundred and fifty paces away, only half of the four thousand cavalry had been left at the time of departure.

The remaining 2,000 men who suffered heavy casualties were not comparable to the 2,000 who were directly engaged in the battlefield, and because of the disrupted structure and the fear of witnessing the death of their comrades, the morale of these 2,000 was extremely low and they completely lost the courage to fight.

If he had expected this, Zhu Litu would not have sent only 4,000 men to charge into battle anyway, he would have thrown all 10,000 people into the battlefield in batches, and used continuous charges to crush the Ming army on the opposite side.

All the mistakes need to be made up for at the cost of blood, and the rabbit hurriedly summoned the troops in the rear position to step forward for reinforcements, but it was already too late.

"Pass my order, cavalry charge!"

Seeing that the Tatar cavalry rushed to a place only a hundred steps away from the Ming army's position, Xiao Ruxun roared loudly and took the lead in prancing his horse and rushing out.

The two cavalry collided in one place, one side was tired and exhausted by firearms, and the other side was alive and vigorous. In the battle of the cold weapon era, morale and courage are the most important, although the Tatar cavalry still has nearly 2,000 people left, but the organization is chaotic, the soldiers are depressed, where can they withstand the frontal attack of the Ming army.

I don't know who took the lead first, but all the Tatar cavalry invariably turned their horses' heads and galloped towards their rear. (To be continued......)
