Chapter 38: Decisive Victory

When Zhengde pretended to comfort Zhu Houhuang. The opposite side suddenly roared in unison, and the sound shook all over the world, even in the middle of this formation, Zhu Houhuang also felt deafening.

Zhu Houhuang said: "What are they shouting again? ”

The other side shouted Mongolian, and of course Zhu Houhuang couldn't understand it.

"It's a victory." Zhengde said. Zhengde is not only an emperor, he is actually versatile, when this talent is not the same thing in the eyes of civil officials, such as Zhengde is proficient in Mongolian, Sanskrit, and has a deep study of Buddhist scriptures. So he forced Zhu Houhuang, a Mongolian idiot, to be powerful, I don't know how much.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

didn't wait for Zhengde to give an order, I don't know who started yelling. The entire Ming army began to chant.

Zhu Houhuang felt deafening for a moment, he only felt a wave of sound ringing in his ears, as if he was deaf in an instant.

Zhu Houhuang saw Zhengde slowly close his eyes, goosebumps rose all over his body, and after the voice fell, he suddenly pulled out his long sword and kicked the war horse under his feet. The whole person is out of the ranks.

Zhu Houhuang was taken aback, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and followed behind Zhengde, followed by Xu Tai and several others.

Zhengde held his sword on his chest, swept across the military formation, and the horses under his feet ran quickly, and he shouted: "Daming Wansheng." ”

"Wan Sheng." "Wan Sheng" "Wan Sheng. ”

Every time Zhengde swept over an array, he shouted, and for a while, in the entire Ming army, there were shouts of victory, one after another, and finally superimposed on them.

Zhu Houhuang was tense, and his eyes kept staring at the Mongols.

You must know that at this moment, between the Mongols and Zhengde, there is not a single soldier blocking it, if they rush over. Zhengde bore the brunt. He couldn't help it, rushed to Zhengde's horse, held down Zhengde's reins, and said, "Brother Huang, the Mongols have moved." Get back to home. ”

Zhengde's eyes were blazing, as if they were about to glow.

Zhu Houhuang thought that Zhengde had taken a stimulant.

Zhengde felt every hair on his body tremble with excitement. He realized at this moment: "It turns out that he belongs to the battlefield." "He went from being admonished and returned to his roots.

Zhu Houhuang didn't lie. The Mongols moved.

Maybe the Mongolians wanted to cultivate horsepower, they slowly stopped at the end of Zhu Houhuang's sight, maybe it was Zhengde oath, so that they could see the opportunity to kill Zhengde, or for other reasons, in short, at this moment, people suddenly rushed over.

In an instant, it was as if a great river had burst its banks, and countless cavalry scattered in the shape of stars, rushing from a distance, shouting loudly as if they were madmen. Rushed over in an instant.

Zhu Houhuang instantly took a deep breath. I felt that my whole body couldn't help but stiffen together, so stiff that I could barely move. Don't talk about knives and guns.

Tens of thousands of cavalry spread out, almost filling Zhu Houhuang's entire experiment, and there was nothing else in Zhu Houhuang's eyes. They grinned, raising different styles of weapons, but more with bows and arrows.

"Boom." With a bang, a cannon fired.

Shot after cannon, the pungent smell of gunsmoke, as well as screams and blood, rushed through the entire battlefield in an instant.

As if it was a signal, on the regular Ming army's military formation, artillery fire one after another, or a swarm of bees, rockets, and other firearms, fired in an instant. I wanted to stretch my bow, and suddenly shot out. However, these blows did not give the Mongols much loss. Because the Mongols seemed to have known the preparations of the Ming army for a long time, the formation was very separated, and the dense artillery bombardment only killed dozens of people.

The power of firearms was very great, and Zhu Houhuang saw with his own eyes that a Mongol cavalryman was hit by artillery, and the whole person was cut in half from the waist. It's just that the flaws are just as big. It's too difficult to reload.

It's okay that the tiger squat cannon is okay, at least there is a way to reload it, such as a swarm of bees, it is simply a one-time thing, and when he reloads it, this battle will be over a long time ago. After the first wave of heavy shelling, the Ming army's fire stopped, and only the infantry archers and rockets were already running. But the Mongol attack also came.

The Mongols turned neatly in front of the Ming army, and in an instant, countless arrows shot over, and in an instant, a rain of arrows like flying locusts flew out.

Among the Mongols and the Ming army, there were terrible screams almost at the same time.

The Mongols made a false move and did not charge directly into battle. Instead, he used his cavalry and archery kung fu to shoot at the Ming army.

In front of the two armies, arrows rained down, and some people on both sides fell to the ground and died under the rain of arrows.

However, the Mongols swept by, although the power of firearms was great, but often missed, and although the power of the cavalry bow used by the Mongols was not large, but because the Ming army was in a tight formation, they often made meritorious contributions, and the casualties on both sides were often half a catty and eight taels. There is little difference between them, but Zhu Houhuang knows that this is just a temptation. The real confrontation is yet to come.

The entire Mongols were divided into several divisions, taking turns to fight, not just riding and shooting, once they saw the flaws, they would not hesitate to attack, and the cycle was endless.

That's the way to get tired.

The Mongols attacked in numbers, and when one attacked, the other troops took turns to rest and maintain their strength, and if the Ming army was only a foot soldier, they would take turns to harass, look for weaknesses, and then press on the means in a big way, which would naturally be able to make contributions.

For the Han army, which consisted entirely of infantry, the cavalry charge was certainly terrifying, but with the protection of a strict military formation, they were not afraid of this. What they are more afraid of is not to attack, so they will confront each other like this.

Because of the speed advantage of the cavalry, they were outside the range of the Ming army, and they were out of the range of the Ming army, dismounted and rested, but the Ming army did not dare to slack off a little, lest as soon as they relaxed their spirits, the Tartars would be killed in front of them.

The array is invincible, this is the magic weapon of the light cavalry against the infantry phalanx, regardless of your complete formation, I only attack when I am on the march and retreat, as long as the formation, then we will slowly consume.

Zhengde frowned, and felt that he couldn't let the Mongols be so rampant, so he immediately ordered: "Xu Tai, you lead the headquarters to fight out." A lesson for the Tartars. ”

"Yes." Xu Tai took the order.

Xu Tai immediately went down to prepare, and after a while, Xu Tai led the cavalry through the formation, passed through the passage left in advance, and rushed out.

For a while, the shouting and killing were loud. Xu Tai's subordinates were killed with the Mongols.

The Mongols were definitely not afraid of anyone, and when they saw Xu Tai fighting, the two sides fought together in the big open space in front of the two armies. First hedge, then rush to kill each other and fight together.

Xu Tai is really a fierce general.

Zhu Houhuang couldn't see the entire battlefield, and all his attention was on that big banner of Xu Zi. After the two sides began to fight, the place where the banner of the Xu family was located was also the place with the largest crowd, and it was also the place where the sound of shouting and killing was the loudest, and even the banner of Xu Zi was repeatedly crooked, as if it was about to fall, and it was clear that the flag bearer had changed several times.

Suddenly, on the battlefield, there was an earth-shattering shout. But when he saw Xu Tai, he hung a person's head on the big banner and couldn't help swaying from side to side. When the Mongols saw this head, their morale was instantly emptied. I couldn't hold on any longer, and it receded like a tide.

Xu Tai didn't dare to pursue, gathered his troops and horses and slowly retreated.

A hideous human head smashed on the ground, Xu Tai was covered in blood, and there were a few arrows on his body, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, the head of the enemy general is here." ”

Zhengde said: "Okay. Go down and rest, and there will be a fierce battle in a while. ”

Zhu Houhuang has to admit that there are many generals around Zhengde, such as Zhu Bin, who is now presiding over the army instead of Zhengde, and Xu Tai, who is beheading and surrendering, are all heroes for a while, although there are such and such problems, but they are a common problem of military generals in this era. Everyone thinks that if a military general is not domineering, not greedy for money, not lustful, as if he is not a military general, it is like the military discipline of the army is good, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, it is not effective. Such a strange concept, officially has the strange concept of the Ming generation, and now this concept exists, but it is not much. This bizarre concept has reached its peak.
