vs 449 The Battle of Temptation
After three battles, the enemy did not use cavalry shooting anymore, a team of people who did not hold weapons, only a wooden shield ran out, and the Ming side also ordered to stop the attack.
These people are not here to fight, they are here to collect the corpses.
On the battlefield in ancient times, it was allowed to collect corpses, especially the two sides that were in formation. Moreover, the attacking side can be surrounded by four blows, but it will only choose one side to carry out a formation-based attack, a tentative attack with turns on all sides, and after a period of fighting, it will attack on all sides.
It sounds silly, but that's how warfare was fought in ancient times.
Of course, it cannot be said that this method is not scientific enough, blindly attacking a camp, will not fight randomly once, it is easy to cause too many casualties, and fighting for a crushing victory is not what a suitable commander needs.
In front of him, Zhu Qian's camp was not yet surrounded by them on all sides.
The two sides are rocky beaches, which are not suitable for cavalry at all, and even the infantry must be cautious about the guò. On the other side is a rift that you can bypass behind but never attack the side. And what is on the back, it is not immediately known, how long that rift will be and how long it will take is unknown.
What's more, Zhu Qian's back is more than a day's journey to the Great Wall, and if a team is sent to be attacked, it is the push.
At present, killing Zhu Qian's 5,000 men and horses is the best policy.
The corpses on the battlefield were cleared, the enemy brigade was separated from the sides, thousands of people with large baskets and leather bags appeared on both sides of the position, and then 5,000 cavalry with long weapons in the center were already in formation, and 3,000 cavalry with scimitars appeared on both sides.
"General, the enemy is ready to charge, they must think that we have more than a thousand dead and wounded."
Zhu Qian sighed slightly: "This is the advantage of having an absolute advantage in troops, they don't have to test it many times." It only takes a few rounds to choose a strong attack. At least one strong attack can be regarded as a kind of temptation, and there are still many soldiers in this way. ”
After Zhu Qian sighed with emotion, he ordered: "Order, fight hard for a while, and then give up the front battle!" ”
"General. Whether or not to use Storm Thunder and other things! ”
"No, only muskets and swords are allowed, and all soldiers in the front are ordered to be heavily armoured. The second formation uses Prepared Flame Mines, and only muskets and bows are allowed in the second formation unless the enemy forces attack the second formation. ”
Zhu Qian quickly ordered, he was very calm now, and he was desperately skillful.
It's not about getting a life for a life, it's about killing as many enemies as you can.
The order was given, and the front army had already begun to prepare. The light armor and cloth armor began to retreat into the second formation, and all who remained in the first formation were heavily armored, heavily armored soldiers wearing helmets.
The tempo was still fast, and the enemy still held down the corners of their feet with a burst of cavalry, and then the cavalry with long weapons began to press forward, and the non-combatant soldiers with baskets and leather bags galloped over to fill in the pits, which were not qualified. It seems that the horse rejection pit dug temporarily due to lack of time was filled in a blink of an eye.
Five thousand horsemen rushed over with long weapons.
Muskets were thrown indiscriminately, and the soldiers in the front row, who had also fired two shots, threw their muskets back. Some people had already prepared, and they ran back with muskets, and the second formation was dedicated to containing these people.
This burst of muskets fired indiscriminately, leaving at least more than 100 enemy soldiers behind.
Five thousand cavalry, more than a hundred people is not a personal number at all.
Without muskets, the first group of 800 soldiers picked up the knives that were stuck in the ground almost in unison. This kind of knife has a stainless steel blade and a stainless steel blade, and it weighs more than 30 pounds in one hand.
With a neat swing of the sword, 500 of the enemy's 300 men and horses were brought down.
From the sky, this is like cutting the enemy down a layer.
The long weapon behind had already stabbed the five hundred people. But the five hundred people did not hide, did not block, and once again slashed down with a neat knife. The people behind couldn't see it, but the people with long weapons saw it clearly, and the weapons in their hands were stabbed on the soldiers of Daming, and it seemed to be pierced in, but the weapons in their hands were empty all of a sudden.
Those weapons slipped through the sides of the armor, and naturally it was impossible to pierce the plate armor.
All they saw was piercing the clothes of the Ming soldiers, and they didn't hurt anyone at all. Only a few people were knocked down by the powerful momentum, but they were not injured.
In the distance, it was even more difficult to see, only the cavalry was seen.
"The Han people's Shengtang Mo Sword Formation!" The knowledgeable General Yili exclaimed.
"Five more thousand!" A man in a bright red robe pulled a horse to the front row, and even the eldest son gave a salute first. This is the Great Khan of Turpan after the division of the Yili forces.
In the Ming army, Zhu Qian ordered: "Tell them to retreat." ”
"Order!" Someone was beating the gong, and the soldiers in the front row began to retreat rhythmically, in groups of three, defending and killing the enemy while retreating.
Yili followed the 5,000 men behind the Li army and continued to attack the second formation.
The muskets of the second formation had already fired four shots in a row, and they were about to use the explosive thunder, when Zhu Qian's order also arrived: "Give up the second formation and retreat to the third formation." ”
continued to retreat, and this time replaced with another group of Ming soldiers wearing heavy armor and using long knives.
"The Han people couldn't hold it anymore, so they threw another 20,000 people into driving the Han people back to their camp." The Great Khan of Turpan ordered.
Yili moved the army, and another 20,000 people were thrown into battle, with an absolute superiority in numbers and a strong combat power. And on the basis of Zhu Qian's order not to fight to the death, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty retreated rhythmically, ensuring that not a single Ming soldier was left in the enemy formation, even if he died in battle, the corpse had to be carried back.
The sound of muskets, bows and arrows, shouts of killing.
The continuous fighting for half an hour finally stopped, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty killed more than 100 people and wounded nearly 1,000 people. Finally retreated to the camp, and all the positions in front of the camp were lost. But it also made Yili leave behind a full 10,000 corpses, and countless people were injured.
And Da Ming has not used the final killing move, the cannon has not moved, and the explosion mine has not been used.
"General. Why? An adjutant general rushed in front of Zhu Qian, ignoring the injury on his face.
Zhu Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to the front, the two huge flags were moving forward: "Look, one of them is the eldest son of Yexian, and the other is estimated to be a big man who is also a big man, at least a top big man." Do you think it's not worth it? ”
"! Kill them. The lieutenant reacted and waved his fist excitedly.
Zhu Qian was not wrong, although it was different from the original plan, the enemy commander leaned in, and immediately stepped into the trap area. Give them a powerful one, leave these two big people behind, it doesn't matter what credit is or not, this is a big revenge for the battle of Tumubao.
"Come on, Rocket!" Zhu Qian waved his hand vigorously.
Thousands of rockets that had been prepared for a long time were fired.
Rockets, these are not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of the steppe people, the arrows of the Han people are inferior to the arrows on the steppe, what if you bring fire, there is no granary here, there is nothing worth burning.
Most of the rockets were blocked by the shields in the hands of the enemy, and the smaller half of the rockets fell to the ground.
This round of rockets killed only one enemy soldier and slightly injured two enemy soldiers.
"Hahaha!" The Turpan Khan laughed: "Han people, is this your powerless struggle? Surrender, be the vanguard of Ben Khan, who will promise you a city, whatever you want, whether it be a woman or silver. Ben Khan will meet your requirements. ”
Zhu Qian's face darkened, this was originally calculated, why did it fail.
"General, kill 10,000 enemies, it's blood!" A lieutenant general pointed to the ground and said, Zhu Qian followed the lieutenant's hand and looked over, there were still many small pools of blood on the ground, how could it be possible to ignite the incendiary bomb that was originally buried in the ground by the ignition of the rocket, unless it was done with greater firepower.
With Flame Mine?
This thing can't be thrown that far, and the lethality of this thing is a small piece of iron that explodes and pops out.
You can't use artillery, artillery shoots powerful shells, and this thing can't be used as a method of ignition.
"General, please give the order, Admiral!" The lieutenant's meaning is obvious, he wants to lead people to rush over.
Zhu Qian waved his hand, this will definitely send his own people out to death, and it is impossible to rush through the enemy's first two lines of defense. Zhu Qian was thinking, is there any way to ignite those incendiary bombs and the fire mines buried in the ground, if it is not worth the lives of hundreds of people, but what if the enemy commander retreats?
What's more, hundreds of people may not be able to rush to that close.
Looking around at these captains and soldiers who had just experienced a bloody battle, a smile appeared on Zhu Qian's face: "Order, hurry up and treat your injuries." Lao Tzu still needs to let you kill the enemy again in a while, you are all good. Zhu Qian said as he handed over the token in his arms to his lieutenant, which was the token representing his left vanguard commander.
"General!" At this moment, the adjutant seemed to understand something?
"Don't talk nonsense, this thing will be handed over to Ryoko in a moment. If you are still Lao Tzu's general, don't let those two goods escape, and you can't let them escape even if you fight for your own life, otherwise Lao Tzu will die. ”
"General!" The adjutant general knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, he guessed what Zhu Qian was going to do, but he couldn't stop it.
Zhu Qian patted him on the shoulder: "Don't forget jì, our hatred!" After that, Zhu Qian pulled his cloak, then turned over his horse, threw the knife on the ground, and rode to the camp gate: "Open the door, I will go to confirm what these goods are." With a confident smile on his face, the soldier saluted and opened the labor gate.
Ordinary soldiers naturally didn't think too much, the camp gate opened, and Zhu Qian pulled his horse and walked slowly towards the enemy.
The lieutenant fell to his knees, his hands in the dirt, his teeth clenched. (To be continued......)
