"Well, less than 4,000 cavalry of the Ming army can defeat my 3,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, this group of dangerous mountain troops really deserves its reputation."

With a gloomy face, looking at the corpse of a death warrior in front of me, I replied thoughtfully.

Originally, in my opinion, the dangerous mountain army defeated Meng Gelu and Qing Ganu, and it was a group of big bandits bullying the poor sticks. Defeating Tumen Khan and Dong Fox was a conspiracy by the Dangerous Mountain Army. If you fight head-to-head, you can easily defeat the opponent's 5,000 cavalry with 3,000 iron cavalry.

It is important to know that the reason why the Mongols and the Ming army were able to fight and win successive battles relied on the terrifying mobility of the cavalry and the terrifying impact when they launched a charge.

Since Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty has no large-scale formed cavalry, which caused the fire gun soldiers to lack the necessary protection. Often, the musketeers only had time to shoot once, and the Mongol cavalry had already been killed, and the musketeers who had lost the protection of the cavalry, even if they had a large number of infantry protected by a spear array, were quickly reduced to meat on the chopping block, and the Mongol cavalry was allowed to kill as they pleased.

The reason why the Ming army lacked large-scale formed cavalry was that first, there was a lack of excellent cavalry generals, and second, the imperial court was corrupt and unwilling to spend money to rest on armaments, and military salaries were deducted by officials at all levels, where is there spare money to equip cavalry? You must know that the money required to train and arm a good cavalry is more than twenty times that of an infantryman!

Therefore, although the Ming army had very advanced weapons and sophisticated weapon-forging skills, it did not have enough cavalry to use these advantages, but was defeated by the backward Mongols and Jurchens.

All of them have always looked down on the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, even if it is the dangerous mountain army, in his eyes it is just a tool for recreation and entertainment, a small game.

As a result, the reality gave me a slap in the face: although he set up an ambush and killed hundreds of cavalry of the dangerous mountain army, the 3,000 iron cavalry of the speedy mountain army that he had high hopes for were actually defeated by the main force of the cavalry of the dangerous mountain army. Not to mention firmly holding back the enemy army, Su Butai himself almost died.

When I was panting and leading the army to arrive, and I was confronted by the remnants of the defeated army, my first reaction was to take a knife and cut this guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death. But Su Butai's words made this big leader who crisscrossed Mongolia and killed people like hemp stunned on the spot:

"Great Khan, my three thousand iron horsemen were killed by the opposite side with only one face!"

"What! Do you say it again? The barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are also cavalry, where can they compare to the hundred-battled lions of my Mongolian steppe? You tell me honestly and clearly, dare to lie a word, Ben Khan has skinned you alive! Shocked, I jumped off the horse, grabbed Su Butai's clothes, and said viciously.

"Great Khan, I have been wronged! The other party is really just a face, and he hasn't even fought with us in close quarters, but he killed and injured more than 1,000 of us" swallowed and foamed, and Su Butai hurriedly said in detail.

According to Subutai, the 3,000 iron cavalry led by him encountered the main cavalry force of the Ming army before Uliangha launched a sneak attack. At that time, it was the first charge launched by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the Ming army on the opposite side not only had no time to retreat, but also scattered the whole army, posing in a strange straggler formation, like a thin fishing net, towards the Mongolian iron cavalry.

"Great Khan, I thought that these Ming Dynasty barbarians were crazy and planned to come and die by themselves. Let the warriors put on a formation of arrows, wanting to directly penetrate the 'fishing net' of the Ming Dynasty barbarians, cut them into two sections, and then break them individually" said this, Su Butai showed a frightened expression on his face, as if he had seen the most terrible evil ghost.

It was at this time that the Ming troops on the opposite side each raised a torch, but they did not have a fire fold or paper media to light the fuse in their hands.

Subutai had fought with the Ming army many times before, and he knew the Ming army's firearms very well, and in his cognition, the Ming army's firearms were extremely powerful. However, when using, it is necessary to ignite the lead with a fire fold or other objects before it can be launched, and it cannot even be used at all in heavy rain and windy weather.

Just when Subutai thought that the other party was vulnerable, the Ming army's firearm fired, but he just sat on the horseback and tapped the fingers of the firearm on a certain part. These terrifying firearms shot out the flames of death, piercing the dark night and pouring down on the charging Mongol horsemen.

"The more than 500 warriors who rushed to the front of our army at that time were knocked off their horses on the spot and trampled into pulp on the spot by countless cavalry behind. Before we could figure out what weapons were used on the opposite side, the Ming troops of the other two squads went around our flanks and opened fire with that strange firearm, and more than 700 warriors on both flanks were either killed or wounded.

Then when the two armies encountered close combat, the Ming army used a very powerful machete, and the scimitar of the Mongolian iron cavalry was almost like paper in front of this machete, and it was either knocked off or cut in half in the slash.

"It seems that you have indeed not tarnished the prestige of my Mongolian warriors, get up, go down and have a good rest, tomorrow you will lead 20,000 horses to break Yang Zhao on the opposite side, and snow your shame" Accompanied by Subutai, after seeing the corpses of several soldiers, I answered with a smile on his face, patted Subutai's shoulder and said.

From these relatively complete corpses of soldiers, I found a large number of wounds that were completely different from those caused by the firearms used by the Ming army before, these wounds were even more huge and dense, and many soldiers were not killed on the spot, but died of excessive blood loss due to excessive wounds!

"Damn, if these Ming troops weren't small in number, and they were attacked by my Mongolian warriors, the outcome of last night's battle was really unpredictable!" I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, this Ming army was like a heaven and an underground compared to the Ming army he encountered before.

On the side, Zhao Quan was looking at a firearm in his hand, his face was full of shock and incredulity, he really couldn't believe that the Ming Dynasty actually had such an advanced weapon.

"If this kind of firearm can really shoot directly without igniting the fuse, then where does the cavalry under the command of the Great Khan still have the strength to compete with Zhu Ming for the world? You just need to defend the pass and fire at the head of the city with this firebolt," Zhao Quan muttered to himself with a pale face, all of this was tantamount to pouring cold water on this traitor with a thirst for profit.

"Zhao Quan! Didn't you say that you had thoroughly investigated the Dangerous Mountain Army? For what Ben Khan did not know the slightest about this kind of fire gun before, so that thousands of my Mongolian warriors died tragically! If you don't make it clear today, Ben Khan will kill you! At this time, I turned my head in anger, just saw Zhao Quan, and suddenly roared like thunder.

I am really angry, the dangerous mountain army only used more than 4,000 people to defeat the 3,000 elite iron cavalry under his command, and the weapons used are worthy of several excellent bows, so where is the slightest advantage in fighting for hegemony with the Ming Dynasty?

But I can't think of any solution, he is just the leader of a Mongol tribe, relying on barbarism and blood, and a little cunning. For the Mongols who drink blood from mushrooms, let alone make new weapons, even if they make an iron pot by themselves, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. How can you be able to make new weapons?

"Damn, if Ben Khan doesn't get rid of the dangerous mountain army quickly and kill Li Rusong's yellow-mouthed child, maybe he will die in his hands in the future!" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of despair, and at the same time, I strengthened his determination to attack the dangerous mountain.

The angry and devastated I gave vent all my anger on Zhao's whole body, and the latter had the prestige to act in front of his compatriots in Bansheng City at this time, like a dog, kneeling on the ground and desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Pass the order, concentrate 60,000 iron cavalry, attack Yang Zhaobu tomorrow morning, and be sure to defeat it completely!" After beating Zhao Quan with a leather whip, I turned around and ordered.

"Although the dangerous mountain army is strong, it has not yet become a climate, as long as Ben Khan does his best now, he will kill it all! Li Rusong, a yellow-mouthed child, if he doesn't get rid of it today, he will definitely be Ben Khan's henchman in the future! ”
