On the tower of the gate of the northern city of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, the Mongolian generals such as Polo and Darru looked at the Mongolian cavalry slaughtered by the Ming army's artillery in amazement.

Many of them have fought with Emperor Yongle, and have also witnessed the power of the iron cannon of the Shenji Battalion, but compared with the scene they have seen now, the iron cannon of the Shenji Battalion is nothing in front of the artillery used by the Ming army now, whether it is the range or the lethality of the artillery used by the Ming army is far superior to the iron cannon of the Shenji Battalion.

"Quick, Mingjin retreats!" Darru was the first to react, and hurriedly ordered the Mongolian guards on the side, wanting the Mongolian cavalry to withdraw, otherwise I don't know how many people would die if the Ming army's artillery was bombarded like this.

"Can't be golden!" The Mongolian guard was just about to run to Mingjin, but he couldn't help but stop him by opening his mouth, and then said to Darru with a gloomy face, "At this time, Mingjin's Ming army will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue, and the army will be defeated, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Do you want to watch those Mongol warriors die?" Darru's face changed slightly, and he felt extremely annoyed in his heart.

"Our Mongolian warriors have experienced a hundred battles and have rich combat experience, they are just caught off guard by the Ming army now, and they will deal with this situation when they are relieved, otherwise they will not be worthy of the word 'warrior'!" The bald Polo looked expressionlessly at the Mongolian cavalry who were scattered and hiding due to the shelling, and said coldly.

Hearing this, Darru couldn't help but feel a chill rise on his back, he didn't expect that the vultures would be so ruthless, and he would not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of the Mongolian cavalry in order to defeat the Ming army, but he had to admit that this was the only way now, if the Mongolian army was defeated in this battle, he was afraid that he would be driven out of Liaodong.

"Young Master, the artillery of the Ming army is too powerful, if you can't take them in time, then it will be a huge threat to our army!"

Then, Darru groaned for a while, and looked worriedly at the groves and hills where the Ming artillery camp was located, if the Ming artillery kept attacking, it would bring heavy casualties to the cavalry and foot soldiers of the Mongol army, and the psychological deterrence was even more incalculable.

"That's exactly what Young Master Ben is worried about!" Hearing this, the expression of the vulture Polo became even more solemn, and his eyes also fell on the groves and hills, he had realized that he had greatly underestimated Li Yuntian, so that the Mongol cavalry was defeated with heavy casualties and demoralized before they could engage the Ming cavalry.

From this point of view, Li Yuntian can become the youngest new nobleman of the Ming Dynasty is not in vain, he must know the importance of the artillery battalion, so he will definitely strengthen the garrison, and it may not be easy to seize the artillery of the Ming army.

"Young Master, Lord Zhiyuan, the cavalry and firearms of the Ming army are concentrated on the battlefield against our army, even if there are tens of thousands of Ming army foot soldiers guarding those artillery, they are definitely not the elite opponents of our cavalry!" At this time, a Mongolian general bowed his hand to the generals Polo and Darru, and said proudly.

The reason why the 6,000 cavalry did not participate in the first wave of the Mongol army's attack was because they were the personal guards of Polo and Darru, the most elite cavalry force in the hands of the two, so they were on standby outside the north gate of the Tiger Skin Camp Post City, and they could play a role in influencing the situation of the battle at a critical moment, and the two would never use this force unless they had to.

"I hope so!"

The bald Polo was not as optimistic as the Mongolian general, his brows furrowed slightly, he remembered some of the past things about Li Yuntian that General Fenglei had told him, and his heart became more and more uneasy, if Li Yuntian did not rely on the strength of his father-in-law, Zhongguo Gong Zhou Zheng, and only brought 3,000 Xiaowu troops to quell the rebellion of the two or three hundred thousand rebels in Jiaozhi, then this person is a formidable opponent, and his mental strategy is rare in the world.

"Lord Taifu, Lord Zhiyuan, our cavalry has begun to fight back." Just as Vulture Polo was thinking about his thoughts, a Mongol general pointed to the battlefield and shouted.

After the initial panic, the Mongolian cavalry finally came to their senses, because the Ming cavalry shot a dense rain of arrows, and the Mongolian cavalry was afraid of the musket battalion in front of the Ming army, so it was impossible to charge forward, so the Mongolian cavalry on the left and right sides were across the wall of fire and the Ming cavalry fired.

The Ming cavalry then began to suffer casualties, and some people fell, and the reason why the Mongolian cavalry galloped across the field was because of their excellent archery skills, and the European heavy cavalry lost their armor and suffered unspeakably.

However, there was no way to deal with the artillery bombardment of the Mongolian cavalry by the Ming army, and the artillery of the Ming army did whatever they wanted in front of the cavalry, beating the Mongolian cavalry to the ground, and the wolf bèi could not bear to dodge the shells falling from the sky, and the formation was in chaos.

Perhaps seeing the Mongolian cavalry organizing a counterattack, the Ming army's artillery immediately changed its target, and the shells whistled towards the Mongolian cavalry that were shooting at the Ming cavalry.

"Damn!" Seeing this, Darru immediately slammed his fist on the parapet in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the hill where the Tatar cavalry attacked, if the Ming army's artillery was not removed, the Mongol cavalry would undoubtedly be beaten passively on the battlefield, and if it continued like this, it would collapse sooner or later.

Fortunately, the Tatar cavalry had already rushed to the hill at this time, and did not encounter the slightest obstacle along the way, and even the Ming cavalry on the battlefield did not go to the rescue, so that things went very smoothly.

However, in the face of this scene in front of him, the brows of Vulture Polo furrowed deeper, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the grove, and the elite of the Warat cavalry under his command attacked the grove, and it was also smooth sailing, and the Ming army seemed to have forgotten the artillery and did not send troops to block it at all.

This is not a good sign for the bald Polo, if he was Li Yuntian, he would definitely send heavy troops to guard the two artillery battalions, but the grove and hill did not look like there were heavy troops in ambush, and there were not many people to hide, otherwise they would definitely be discovered by the Mongol army.

Bang, bang, bang......

Just when Bald Polo pondered why Li Yuntian dared not let the Ming cavalry rescue the small forest and the artillery camp on the hill, there was a sudden sound like fried beans in the direction of the hill.

The bald Polo was stunned when he heard the sound first, and then couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the hill, his eyes showing a look of shock.

"What's that noise?" Darru couldn't see what was happening on the other side of the hill because of the distance, and he couldn't help but ask the bald Polo suspiciously.

"Muskets!" After hearing this, Vulture came back to his senses, glanced at Darru, and muttered, "No wonder he is so calm, he has arranged so many muskets to guard those cannons!" ”

"Muskets?" Darru's face was full of surprise, he never expected that the Ming army would have so many arquebuses, and couldn't help but ask, "How many muskets did the Ming army bring from the sea?" Why haven't we gotten any news? ”

"The number of muskets in the Ming army has not changed, but there are just more artillery."

Bald Polo shook his head and replied with a sinking face, "A musketeer must go through strict training before he can go to the battlefield, and the Ming army will not be able to train a group of musketeers in a short period of time, and now that the battle is fierce on the Xuanfu side, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already transferred the artillery to Liaodong, how can he transfer the musket again?" ”

"Where did the extra muskets of the Ming army come from?" Hearing this, Darru felt that it made sense, and asked subconsciously.

"I'm afraid we will be fooled, the musketeers placed in front of the Chinese army of the Ming army are fake, and he arranged the musketeers around the artillery." Bald Polo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

If this is really the case, the people of Vulture Polo and Darru will undoubtedly fall into the trap set by Li Yuntian, not only suppressing the power of the Mongolian cavalry, but also sending 6,000 elite cavalry to the muzzle of the Ming army's musket battalion, and the fate can be imagined.

If Vulture Polo had seen through Li Yuntian's strategy and sent the Mongolian cavalry to attack the Ming army's Chinese army, then Li Yuntian, who was commanding the Chinese army at the front, would probably have been captured if he did not die in the charge of the Mongolian cavalry, and it would be difficult for him to retreat.

"Young master, do you mean that there are no musketeers in the Chinese army?" At this moment, Darru was suddenly shocked, and looked at the bald Polo in disbelief, "Isn't he afraid that our cavalry will rush over?" ”

"He was gambling that we didn't dare to send cavalry to attack the musketeers camp of the Ming army after the battle in Qingfeng Valley and Yinzhou City, and took advantage of our fear of muskets to set up a maze array, and as a result, we fell into his big trap and fell into the trap he set!"

Bald Polo smiled helplessly, his smile was full of bitterness, this battle was fought according to Li Yuntian's plan from the beginning, once the 6,000 cavalry captured the Ming artillery camp and failed, then the Mongolian army would be suppressed by the fire of the artillery battalion on the battlefield, and the Ming army's artillery had a long range, and there was no need to fight this battle again.

"Isn't he afraid that he will lose his life after a mistake?"

Darru was stunned when he heard this, and then asked puzzledly, in his opinion, Li Yuntian was completely fighting for his life by doing this, and there was no need for Li Yuntiantian to be the marquis of Tiantiantang to adopt such a risky way of fighting, if he really couldn't hold Liaodong, he could withdraw to the Ming Dynasty by sea, and then regroup and fight again with the Mongolian army.

"Maybe he guessed that we would think so, so he pretended to use those fake musketeers to deceive us." He groaned for a while, and said with a wry smile, this is also where he is puzzled, Li Yuntian has no need to fight them to the death here.

As he spoke, there was a dense gunfire like fried beans from the direction of the grove, and the Wara cavalry who attacked the artillery battalion position at the grove seemed to have encountered the resistance of the Ming army's musket battalion.

"We can't wait any longer, or we'll only be beaten." After hearing the gunfire in the direction of the grove, Bald Polo's brows furrowed, and finally made up his mind, and shouted in a deep voice at the Mongolian soldiers on the side, "Pass on the commander's military order, the muskets of the Ming army are not in the Chinese army, all of them will attack and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop!" ”

"In addition, those who take the head of the deputy general army of Liaodong of the Ming Army will receive a reward of 1,000 taels and an official promotion of 10,000 households!" Darru realized that the Ming artillery camp position might be difficult to conquer by the Mongol cavalry, so it was better to let the two sides fight together, so that the Ming artillery would have no use.

In order to boost the morale of the Mongol army, Darru specially offered Li Yuntian a huge reward, hoping that the Mongol army could wipe out the Ming army in one go.

With the orders of Polo and Darru, the Mongolian infantry who were waiting for the Mongolian cavalry to break up the Ming army's formation waved their weapons one after another, shouting like a tide and rushing towards the Ming army's central army, and a melee between the Ming army and the Mongolian army was inevitable.
