"Lord Wang, I once inquired about some of the past events of Zhenwuhou, and I think that Zhenwuhou is a thoughtful person, and he will never despise our army on such an important occasion."

Under the gaze of everyone, Mu Lun said in an orderly and deep voice, "Judging from his humble position, the Marquis of Zhenwu will definitely send his most elite troops in order to win this battle, so those foot soldiers are definitely not ordinary Ming army sergeants, but the Ming army's firearms troops." ”

"Are the weapons of those foot soldiers different? Is there anything suspicious at the scene? With that, Mullen turned to the general of the Kansai Army who had gone to check the number of people.

"Their weapon was a long black cylinder with a beak-shaped shank, and behind the foot were some thick iron cylinders mounted on two wheels." The general of the Kansai Army thought for a moment and replied.

"Lord Wang, if you are not mistaken, that black long cylinder is the musket of the Ming army, and that thick iron cylinder is undoubtedly artillery." Hearing this, Mu Lun groaned for a moment, and said to Timur with a solemn expression.

Since firearms are now rare objects, not to mention the arquebuses and Fran cannons of the Xiaowu Army, even the firearms and iron cannons that the Shenji Battalion was equipped with before, not many people have seen them.

Therefore, the generals of the Kwantai Army saw arquebuses and furlong cannons for the first time, and they had no idea what these things were.

The reason why Mu Lun was able to guess that the Ming army sergeant who fought against the Kwantong Army was using muskets and artillery, not that he had seen arquebuses and Franco machine guns, but that he had come to the conclusion after reasoning that Li Yuntian would obviously not take this duel as a child's play, and the Liaodong Ming army defeated the Mongol army led by Polo Polo with arquebuses and Fran machine guns in the Tiger Skin Battalion, so he could naturally guess that the firearms troops of the Ming Dynasty who were about to fight with the Kwantong cavalry on the opposite side.

Timur's face sank when he heard this, for some reason, he vaguely felt as if he had been calculated by Li Yuntian, and he had also heard that the Ming army in Liaodong was defeated in the hands of the Ming army's firearms troops.

"Mu Lun, you are growing up other people's ambition to extinguish your own prestige, if the firearms of the Ming army are useful, we won't be able to come here, and Emperor Ming will not hide in the capital as a shrinking turtle!"

At this moment, a rough voice sounded, and a general of the Kansai Army with a beard said with a disdainful expression, not paying the slightest attention to the firearms unit of the Ming Army.

Hearing that the bearded general compared Emperor Xuande to a "shrunken turtle", the people around him suddenly laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere on the scene calmed down, as the bearded general said, if the firearms force was powerful, then it would have been used by the Ming army to fight with the Tatars and Warats, and it would not have fallen into passivity in this war at all, and as a result, the Beijing division was besieged by the army of Arutai.

"General Doge, the Marquis of Zhenwu will definitely not take the matter of fighting with our army as a child's play, Tatar and Warat have already suffered a big loss in the firearms of the Ming army in Liaodong, we have to guard against it!" Seeing that the bearded general was very contemptuous of the Ming army's firearms, Mu Lun frowned and persuaded quietly.

In fact, when Li Yuntian proposed such a suggestion that seemed to give the Kansai army a big advantage, Mu Lun felt that there was something strange in it, and now it seems that the leaders of the Kansai Seven Guards were in Li Yuntian's hands, and the firearms of the Ming army would inflict heavy casualties on the battlefield to the three thousand Kansai cavalry, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mu Lun, your courage is too small, if the Ming army uses those Tatar cavalry and Warat cavalry who surrendered to them, we really don't have the certainty of winning, but the Ming army is actually looking for death with firearms."

Dogg glanced at Mu Lun and said with a grin, "As long as my Kansai cavalry rushes into the camp of the Ming army from both flanks, then the firearms troops of the Ming army will die like lambs under the swords of the cavalry." ”

"Lord Wang, I am willing to personally lead the army to destroy the firearms of the Ming army, and let them know the strength of our Kansai army." As he spoke, Dogge bowed his hand to Timur and said in high spirits.

The corners of Mu Lun's mouth squirmed when he heard this, and he wanted to remind Douge not to despise the Ming army's firearms troops, but when he noticed that the Kansai generals at the scene had a relaxed look on their faces, he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his mouth, to be honest, he didn't know how powerful the Ming army's firearms troops were, and if he said more, it would inevitably be suspected of disturbing the army's morale.

"Okay, then there's General Laudog." Although Timur was jealous of the Ming army's firearms troops like Mu Lun, he was only the nominal commander of the Kwantan Army, and he couldn't stop Dogge at all, so he smiled and said, "Wait for General Dogge to triumph, and this king will hold a banquet for the general to celebrate his achievements." ”

Dog's face showed a hint of smugness, and as soon as he pulled the reins of his horse, he led several of his guards to rush to the Kansai cavalry waiting in front, ready to personally sit and command the next battle.

Timur frowned and looked at Doge, looking a little uneasy, he had dealt with Li Yuntian before, so he naturally knew that Li Yuntian was a difficult opponent, I was afraid that Doge would be in trouble this time.

In fact, Timur didn't care about Dogge's life or death, anyway, Dogge was not his person, he was concerned about whether Dogge could lead the 3,000 Guanxi cavalry to defeat Li Yuntian's firearms troops, so that the leaders of the Guanxi Seven Guards could avoid going to the capital to apologize to Emperor Xuande, and God knows what Emperor Xuande would do with them at that time.

Mu Lun is in the same state of mind as Timur, if Dogge can fight to the death to win this battle, then the fate of the Kwanti Army is still in his own hands, he believes that Li Yuntian will never lie with the dignity of the commander of the Ming army, and if Doge is defeated, then the future of the Kwantong Army depends on the mood of Emperor Xuande.

"Drumming!" Because the Ming army sent foot soldiers, it was natural for the Guanxi cavalry to attack, and after Dogge was ready to attack, he sent someone to inform Timur who was supervising the battle in the back, and Timur then gave an order in a deep voice.

"Kill!" With dozens of cowhide drums being beaten, Doge, who was in front of the cavalry camp, drew out the knife hanging from his waist and swung forward, and the Kansai cavalry behind him shouted and waved the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed towards the Ming army camp opposite.

Although the Kwansai cavalry was not as good at cavalry as the Mongol cavalry of the Tatars, Warats, and Ulianghabes, due to the influence of the Yuan cavalry, they also attached great importance to archery, so the first blow to the enemy was usually a bow and arrow, but then they used the speed of the horses in the Western Regions to rush into the enemy camp and kill the enemy with swords, instead of the Mongol cavalry still attacking with bows and arrows.

Seeing the Kansai cavalry surging like a tide, a smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, although the two sides have not yet fought, he can already feel the crushing defeat of the Kansai cavalry.

For the musket battalion and artillery battalion, which had already set up their formation, the only chance for the Kansai cavalry to win was to go around the back of the musket battalion and attack.

It is a pity that Li Yuntian placed a large number of Ming cavalry behind the musket battalion and artillery battalion, so under the deterrence of the Ming cavalry, the cavalry would definitely not think of attacking the musket battalion and artillery battalion from the rear, which meant that they would withstand the fire of the musket battalion from the front and flank.

A wooden platform more than three meters high was built in the middle of the two artillery battalions, on which there were two Xiaowu army sergeants holding two small flags, one red and one black, standing in front of their respective observation instruments to measure the distance between the Kansai cavalry and the artillery battalion.

These two sergeants of the Xiaowu Army were the observation posts of the artillery battalion, and after observing the distance and direction of the Kansai cavalry from the Ming army, they notified the commander of the artillery battalion in flag language and instructed the artillery of the artillery battalion to attack.

When the Kansai cavalry was two miles away from the musket battalion, the two flag men at the observation post reported to the commanders of the two artillery battalions at the same time.

"Fire!" The two commanders immediately gave the order to attack at the same time, and the artillery of the artillery battalion had already adjusted the firing range to two miles in advance, so the artillerymen fired shells one after another after receiving the order.

With a series of muffled sounds, dozens of black shells flew out of the barrels and fell with a whistling towards the Kansai cavalry, who were charging with all their might.

In the middle of the galloping Kansai cavalry, Dogge subconsciously looked up and forward after hearing the sound of cannons, looking at the shells coming from the air with a suspicious expression.

According to Doge's plan, in order to catch the Ming army's firearms troops by surprise, he planned to let the Kansai cavalry disperse on both sides when they were one mile away from the Ming army, and launch a breakthrough on the flank of the Ming army's firearms troops.

In Dog's opinion, as long as they can rush into the camp of the Ming army, then the musketeers and artillery of the Ming army will suffer a catastrophe, and they will not be able to escape if they want to.

Doge would never have imagined that the Ming army's Franc cannon would be able to hit so far and launch an attack when the Kwantan cavalry was two miles away from the Ming camp.

The senior generals of the Kwantai Army, such as Timur and Mulun, were also attracted by the sound of the cannons, and they all craned their heads to look around, wanting to know what was happening.

Boom, boom, boom......

Soon, under the surprised gaze of Timur and Mulun, the black shells that landed on the Kwanti cavalry exploded one after another, and the Kwanti cavalry, who were in a dense charge formation and had no psychological preparation, suddenly fell down one by one in the explosion, shattered, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"Oh my God, what is this?" Looking at the Kansai cavalry that had fallen due to the explosion, a general of the Kansai Army who was watching the battle shouted in surprise, it was the first time he had seen a firearm that could fight so far and possess great power.

After the first round of cannon fodder blows from the artillery battalion, hundreds of Kwansai cavalry fell in a pool of blood, and even if they were not killed, they were trampled to death by the cavalry galloping behind, and there was little hope of survival.

This made the formation of the Kansai cavalry charge stagnant, and the faces of the cavalry showed a look of horror, and the shelling just now left a deep impression on them, and no one understood how those companions died, let alone what weapons the Ming army used to attack them.

Li Yuntian didn't have the slightest joy on his face, just silently looked at the scene in front of him, to be honest, he didn't want to be so heavy on the Kansai cavalry, in his opinion, the Kansai Seven Guards and Wu Liangha were the same as the Ming people, but if he didn't do this, he would not be able to make the leader of the Kansai Seven Guards submit, and he could only give them a powerful look, so as to avoid a greater conflict between the two sides.
