Chapter 276: It's Just a Joke of God

Whether Changshengtian blessed the Mongols Zhu Youxiao didn't know, he only knew that the Mongols were going to take the initiative to attack. Zhu Youxiao was slightly speechless about this, but he did not panic at all. On the contrary, it feels as if God has played a joke on the Mongols, and it is a very serious joke.

Nearly 100,000 Mongolian cavalry have already surrounded the Ming army, and the Ming army's barracks are full of people, and the black pressure is overwhelming.

War is accompanied by raging storms and is on the verge of breaking out.

The Mongols suddenly pressed up, apparently trying to take the initiative to defeat the Ming army. The reason why Lin Dan Khan has this courage is because of this rainstorm.

In the rainstorm, the musket was obviously useless, although the Ming army's flintlock pistol could be waterproof, but the rain was too heavy, and the chance of dumb fire was still relatively large. The Mongols' bows and arrows were also not very useful, and although they could barely open their bows in the rain, they did great damage to the bows and greatly affected their range.

The long-range means of killing soldiers on both sides were greatly affected, and the Mongols thought that the Ming artillery could not be used in the rain. In addition, the reorganized Ming army had eliminated pikemen, and the whole army was musketeers without armor, which gave the Mongols great confidence.

Feeling that Changshengtian was blessing Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan excitedly pressed the whole army and began to organize an attack.

Under the command of Lin Dan Khan and a group of Mongol nobles, the Mongols organized the first wave of attacks in the morning. The offensive at the beginning was clearly not suitable for a direct assault with cavalry. Because there were trenches and horses outside the camp of the Ming army.

So the Mongols dismounted, and began to fill in the trenches and destroy the horses.

The Ming soldiers returned fire with muskets, and as a result, one or two of the ten musketeers were able to successfully get the lead bullets out, and the others were all dumb, and although some of the Mongol soldiers were shot, they could not form a dense fire. Seeing Lin Dan Khan laughing. "God help me Mongolia, I will win the next battle."

The Mongols, under the firepower of the Ming army, did not keep coming forward with casualties, and threw the bags of earth into the trenches one by one, and in just an hour, the trenches were filled in a long way. At the same time, most of the horses were destroyed by the Mongols. Although the Mongols had been shot thousands of people at this hour, it could not stop the Mongols from attacking.

"The front army charges and kills the barbarians of the Bright Country." Lin Dan Khan gave an order, and the front army, which had been prepared for a long time, nearly 100,000 people, began to rush to the military camp of the Ming army.

At this moment, the momentum was extremely huge, and the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry was divided into several echelons, and the war horses under their crotches continued to speed up, rushing towards the Ming army camp. The earth is shaking.

The horse's hooves trampled on the mud with a crackling sound.

At this time, those Ming soldiers, in the eyes of the Meng, were a group of two-legged sheep who had no power to fight back, and they could be slaughtered at will. And there is no armor on his body, it is definitely the rhythm of 'one knife and one child'.

It's just that these Mongols had just rushed to the front of the barracks, when suddenly the musketeers in the front row all dispersed on both sides. After dispersing, the Mongols were horrified to find rows of dense artillery behind them. These cannons were covered with artificial umbrellas to shield them from the rain.

Some of the Mongol cavalry had already had a bad premonition in their hearts, and they didn't have to wait for them to react further. The muzzles of the rows of black holes burst out with firelight, followed by a loud bang that shook the sky, and the white eyes of the Dao Circles rose in the torrential rain.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The spectacle was unprecedented.

More than 400 field guns fired alternately, and at the same time more than 1,000 infantry guns were concentrated in the front.

The guns all fired alternately, with the infantry guns firing shotguns. Field guns fire solid shells.

In an instant, tens of thousands of cannons in the sky shrouded the Mongolian cavalry in pieces, and the Mongolian cavalry that rushed in front was beaten into a sieve on the spot.

And just a few seconds later, tens of thousands of cannons roared in.

At the same time, there were also terrifying solid bullets with terrifying power, and these ten-pound solid bullets directly blasted a bloody path in the dense Mongolian cavalry.

A cannonball hit the cavalry. Often directly through thirty or forty people or horses.

More than 400 rounds of solid ammunition were fired in half a minute, and the mud in front of the barracks was directly dyed red. The corpses of men and horses lay strewn to the ground, many of which had been torn apart by the shells.

Hardly any of these shells missed. These Mongol cavalry were too dense and the target was so large that as long as they were aimed in the general direction, they would be hit.

This round of shelling caused the Mongols to lose at least five or six thousand cavalry, some horses were killed, and some people were also killed.

This round of shelling had a very strong psychological impact on the Mongols. In just a moment, it has already reached such a tragic level.

Even more terrifying is the less powerful, but more frighteningly numerous infantry guns. Each infantry division of the Ming army was armed with 120 infantry guns, which were very lightweight, but could form an extremely dense firepower when fired at close range.

Thousands of infantry guns were concentrated in the front and fired in turns, with an average of five seconds of shelling, with 240 guns involved in each shelling, and the cycle continued.

Those Mongolian cavalry who had just approached the Ming army three or four hundred meters away were directly beaten into a sieve.

A minute later, the 400 field guns opened fire again, and again blasted out bloody roads, and the Mongol cavalry that rushed over collapsed on the spot.

At the same time, the Ming army stopped shelling, and a total of 20,000 cavalry from four cavalry divisions rushed out directly. The formation of the Mongol cavalry, which was routed by artillery, was extremely scattered, and completely collapsed under the charge of the Ming cavalry, and they were scattered and fled like ducks.

Lin Dan Khan's expression froze the moment the artillery roared, and his jaw was about to fall. He never dreamed that the artillery of the Ming army could be used on a rainy day. When he saw the huge artillery salvo, Lin Dan Khan's heart trembled involuntarily. Such a scene is really terrible, in front of those shells, human flesh and blood are so vulnerable, it makes people extremely desperate.

The gunpowder of the Ming army was wrapped in oiled paper on rainy days, and as long as it was not drenched by rain when it was torn and the fuse was not soaked by rain, it could be fired normally.

The reason why the musket cannot be used is mainly because the muzzle of the gun is facing the sky when charging. The rain was flowing into the barrel. Naturally, the musketeers did not have an umbrella to protect them from the rain, but the artillery could artificially shelter them from the rain. Although it is not possible to completely eliminate rainwater, it does not matter if a small amount of rainwater enters the barrel and does not affect the normal firing.

In the second round of shelling, the Mongols had already lost 20,000 or 30,000 dead under the artillery.

The Mongol attack was directly thwarted, and they were driven behind by the Ming cavalry and slashed wildly. Lin Danyan's face was so gloomy that it was about to turn purple. Seeing that the Ming army only had 20,000 cavalry, it drove 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry to slash wildly. The 50,000 cavalry in reserve was immediately ordered to come forward and surround the Ming cavalry.

The plan to annihilate the infantry of the Ming army was obviously directly bankrupt, and under the condition that the Ming artillery could still be used, this had become an unrealistic idea at all.

But the Ming cavalry still dared to chase out, Lin Dan Khan felt that these Ming cavalry were simply looking for death, so he ordered the 20,000 cavalry to surround the Ming army, while trying to restore order to the Mongolian cavalry that had been defeated from the battlefield.

A large-scale cavalry battle broke out, and Lin Dan Khan sent the most elite 10,000 cavalry, all of which were equipped with equipment purchased from the Ming Dynasty.

The neighing of the war horses. A bloody battle began.

The cavalry of both sides collided and then slashed at each other. However, as soon as the two sides began to clash, the Ming army occupied a favorable formation.

The formation of the Ming cavalry was very close, and they were almost uniform with each other. The 50,000 Mongol cavalry who had just joined the battlefield were scattered in formation, and when they joined the battlefield, they were hindered for a moment by the defeated friendly forces, making their formation even worse.

When the 10,000 well-equipped Mongol cavalry joined the battlefield, they were directly ravaged by the Ming cavalry. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands. After these Mongol cavalry entered, they were faced with three or four weapons at the same time, and no matter how well-equipped they were, they couldn't stand it!

And the equipment of both sides is the same. With such an advantage, the Ming army quickly defeated the 10,000 well-equipped Mongolian cavalry.

No matter how good these Mongolian cavalry riding skills are, they are useless in the face of cavalry tactics like the Ming army. At the same time, a large number of very garbage Mongolian cavalry joined the battlefield, and these Mongolian cavalry had only a handful of iron weapons. The weapons in their hands could hardly pose much of a threat to the well-armed Ming cavalry, except for some heavy blunt weapons. At the same time, they did not have iron armor on them, and the cavalry of the Ming army was basically one by one. Several weapons beckoned at the same time and it was easy to deal with.

From a bird's-eye view, you can see that although the Mongol cavalry is numerous, because of its lack of discipline and the formation is too rubbish, most of their troops are not really engaged in battle. Rather, it was to play soy sauce around the Ming army. After the friendly forces are finished, they can find the air strike on top, which is basically the same as the refueling tactic.

Although the number of cavalry of the Ming army was small, it relied on a tight formation, like a sharp knife, and strangled wildly all the way, setting off bursts of blood.

Soon the Ming cavalry rushed from one end to the other, killing the formation of the Mongol cavalry. Then quickly form a team and kill back again.

However, the Ming cavalry still fell into a bitter battle, because the Mongol cavalry was too numerous.

Although some of the Mongol cavalry were defeated, Lin Dan Khan regathered the defeated Mongol cavalry on the periphery of the battlefield and then continued to enter the battlefield.

It was hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and if it was really a fight with 20,000 Ming cavalry, once the physical strength was exhausted, it would be the rhythm of total annihilation.

And because there were too many Mongolian cavalry, the Ming cavalry soon couldn't rush to kill. It's like being stuck in a quagmire, full of Mongols on all sides.

They were already surrounded by Mongol cavalry.

Despite this, the Ming cavalry was very tenacious, and with its excellent armor, it was like a rock to resist the Mongol cavalry from all directions.

"Haha, we won." Lin Dan Khan immediately laughed, although the loss was heavy, it was obviously worth it. As long as the 20,000 Ming cavalry in front of him were annihilated, he would be able to take off the sophisticated equipment from the corpses of these Ming cavalry and arm the Mongolian cavalry.

As for the fact that some people died, it didn't matter, anyway, as long as there was a grassland, and the women and children of various tribes were there, they would be able to recover in a few years.

Moreover, after the Ming cavalry was annihilated, there was no threat to the Mongols on the steppe.

Huang Taiji led 20,000 cavalry to look for opportunities on the edge of the battlefield, ready to strike a fatal blow at the surrounded Ming cavalry.

Just when Lin Dan Khan and Huang Taiji thought that the cavalry duel had been won, suddenly there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"Which tribe has come for reinforcements?" Lin Dan Khan was overjoyed when he heard the sound of the horse, and hurriedly picked up the telescope he got from Mingguo and looked in the direction where the sound came.

The next moment, Lin Dan Khan was almost scared to pee.

It was not the Mongolian cavalry that came, but the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, and the number of the black pressed group was more than the Ming cavalry on the battlefield...... (To be continued.) )
