The Tatar cavalry of 4,000 men was ready to go, the horses were snorting uneasily on the turf, and the faces of the Tatar soldiers were also written with uneasiness and nervousness, they were the 4,000 cavalry after being ordered to be cut off. Their task was to cover the retreat of the main army, and while the 4,000 cavalry was slowly trotting forward, the Tatar cavalry in the rear had already begun to turn around and withdraw northward, towards the pass of the Great Wall ten miles away.

This is the bald and fierce plan to cross the sea and let the 4,000 cavalry feint to delay time and let the main cavalry quickly withdraw.

The dense Tatar cavalry slowly spread like a pool of ink splashed on the grass, and gradually divided into three teams, one team of 2,000 cavalry rushed to the Ming army from the middle, while the other two teams of 1,000 cavalry each dragged back to the left and right flanks and outflanked, and rushed towards the Ming army's battle formation in a zigzag shape.

The cavalry of the Ming army was in full array, and one thousand of the four thousand cavalry were the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion equipped with firearms, and they were naturally at the front, ready to give the Tartar cavalry a head-on attack, and then the three thousand cavalry of the Fenwu Battalion behind them would rush into hand-to-hand combat, and at that time firearms would not come in handy.

The speed of the Tartar cavalry is from slow to fast, the rumbling hooves are like thunder in the sky, and the earth trembles, and the cavalry of the 1,000 Shenji Battalion stands in three rows, and more than 300 people in the front row hold fire guns to aim, and the two rows in the back are responsible for charging and transmitting, which is the three-stage fire method commonly used by the Shenji Battalion, which can ensure continuous firing within the effective distance.

The firecrackers of the Shenji battalion are also extraordinary, not only have long poles and distant bird guns, but also giant multi-barreled firearms, but the cavalry cannot be equipped with this kind of firearms, they are too bulky, the recoil is huge, and can only be handled by the infantry to shoot, and there are various shortcomings such as exploding, difficult to control, and overheating, so only 200 shots in the entire Shenji battalion is not the mainstream.

Although the fire and bird guns are more powerful than bows and arrows, the effective killing distance is about sixty paces, which is half the range of bows and arrows, which is a hard wound, but the large area of lead sand is very effective against the cavalry charge, as long as it is almost impossible to empty within the range; Therefore, although the momentum of the Tartar cavalry charge was terrifying, the Ming soldiers were not too panicked. Under the continuous launch of a large area of coverage, it was impossible for the Tartars to rush forward without paying hundreds of casualties.

However, a strange scene happened, the Tartar cavalry came fiercely, but slowly slowed down halfway, and when they reached a hundred paces away, they suddenly stopped all their horses, and the two sides gathered a hundred paces, and those with good eyesight could see each other's nose hairs, but they couldn't fight each other's eyes with big eyes.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lun said in amazement.

The horn of the Tartar cavalry sounded three times in a hurry, and all the Tartar cavalry suddenly bent their bows and arrows, and the sound of a roar was loud, and the sky was full of arrows.

"What a reputation." Zhang Lun was furious, but fortunately, the equipment of the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion was equipped with a round rattan shield, and before Zhang Lun could give the order, the commander of the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion had already shouted that the soldiers were shielded and blocked the arrows.

Bang bang bang, crackling, there was a chaotic sound, the Ming army fell seventy or eighty, no one was injured, and the horses were shot down.

"Damn it, such a cunning tartar." Zhang Lun yelled angrily.

Song Nan held a small shield above his head, but his eyes looked at the sky in the distance, but he saw yellow clouds steaming in mid-air, obviously the soldiers and horses in the Tartar battalion were mobilizing.

Zhang Lun shouted: "Rush." ”

The cavalry rode out, and the Tartar cavalry on the opposite side suddenly turned around and retreated, and Zhang Lun shouted: "Rush up and slaughter them." ”

One of the lieutenants suddenly shouted, "Lord Admiral, Tartar cavalry has been found on both flanks." ”

Zhang Lun was startled, looked left and right, and saw that there was a cavalry in each of the Tartar camps outflanking out along the valleys on the left and right, and the black pressure did not know how many people and horses, and the Tartars seemed to want to feint and retreat head-on to lure themselves into the encirclement.

"Withdraw, withdraw." Zhang Lun yelled.

Song Nan suddenly shouted: "You can't retreat, the Tartars have to escape." ”

"Flee from what? The flanks were outflanked. Zhang Lun said angrily: "You go and make trouble." ”

Song Nan pointed to the rising Huang Yun in the distance and said, "It's the Tartar army that wants to escape, and they are acting for us; There are not many Tartar soldiers on the front, they will advance when they say they will advance, and they will retreat when they say they will retreat, and the cavalry of the brigade can be so dexterous? There will be no more than three thousand people on the front, and there are not many people on the sides, obviously to delay time, so that we think that there is an ambush and dare not attack. ”

Zhang Lun looked at it carefully, spat at the mouth and said, "It's really treacherous." ”

Song Nan said: "Rush up and annihilate these acting guys first, and then drag down the footsteps of the Tartar brigade." ”

Zhang Lun shouted: "Exactly, rush me!" ”

The cavalry of the Ming army rolled forward, ten thousand hooves rushed together, and the ground shook the mountains. The Tartar cavalry in front could not retreat to the main camp, and they could not turn around to fight, but listening to the sound of the horn, the Tartar cavalry on both sides had to gather in the middle to cover the turn of the two thousand Tartars who had smashed in the middle.

Boom Boom! The sound of the fire gun firing was loud, and when they gathered dozens of paces away, the fire gun of the Shenji Battalion finally erupted with anger, and in an instant, people were rolling horses and human bodies all over the ground on their backs, but the fire gun only had a chance to launch a round, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two sides collided together without any fancy fancy, just like two huge waves crashing head-on, and suddenly the waves splashed like snow; Dozens of bodies flew out of thin air from the middle of the battle, hovering and falling into the crowd, being instantly slashed into meat sauce.

Kill!

Hoarse shouts resounded in the sky, long knives rattled, skulls and limbs flew wildly, blood mixed with flesh and blood splattered, thousands of hand-to-hand combat scenes were unbearable to watch, and dozens of people lost their lives every moment, shouting, wheezing, screaming, moaning...... The creepy sounds converged and intertwined into a symphony of death, and one after another liberated souls flew through the air until they were swallowed by death and disappeared into nothingness.

The shape of the battle gradually became clear, under the initial parity, the combat power of the Ming army's Beijing camp was not as good as the Tartar cavalry, but they were better equipped in armor, blades, and war horses were all the best equipment in the Ming army. On the other hand, the Tartar cavalry suffered a big loss in equipment, some of them only had ordinary rattan armor, and some did not even have armor, and they also had a knife on the slash, and the Tartars were really stabbed, but the Ming soldiers had armor and body protection, and they were slightly injured, and they could not be killed by a few knives, and the Tartar soldiers themselves had lost confidence.

As more and more Tartars fell, the number of people on both sides was no longer proportional, the snowball was getting bigger and bigger, the Tartars finally realized that they were not opponents, when several Tartars fled, panic spread like a plague, and several Tartar commanders shouted angrily and cut down a dozen fleeing soldiers before finally giving up this senseless intimidation in despair, and joined the collapsed soldiers.

The remaining 3,000 Tartar cavalry turned their horses' heads like lost dogs and fled to the Tartar camp.

Zhang Lun's face was covered with blood, bared his teeth and laughed: "Dog Tartar is not Erer, chase!" ”

After entering the chase mode, the Ming army is even more handy, and the fire soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are powerful in this regard, they are skilled in launching lead sand bombs on horseback, and each launch blurs the flesh and blood of the chrysanthemum in front of them to the Tartar soldiers who are running wildly against them. At this time, there is no need for any three-stage hits, after firing a shot, quickly reload and shoot again, in their eyes, these Tartars are not people at all, but groups of fleeing prey, all they have to do is to easily pursue and harvest.

The distance of five or six miles from the battlefield to the main camp usually only takes tea time to charge on horseback, but at this moment, it feels extremely long in the hearts of the Tartar soldiers, as if this road has no end and will never reach the end.

Three thousand defeated cavalry were chased and killed all the way, countless corpses fell along the way, and more than two thousand lucky horsemen finally saw the dawn of hope, and thousands of cavalry in the large camp finally came out to respond.

The Ming army wisely chose to stop, it was less than three miles away from the enemy camp, and if it pursued it again, it would not be a pursuit, but a head-off; The heralds blew their trumpets, and the cavalry turned their horses and hurried away before the army that met them in the Tartar camp rushed out.

The cavalry in the large battalion did not intend to chase them out and fight, but only covered the 2,000 defeated soldiers who had lost their armor and entered the large battalion, and then slowly retreated, lined up in front of the battalion to be on guard.

Bald and fierce can jump like thunder, the thousands of cavalry in the rear camp have been pulled, but the front can not even stop for half an hour, if the retreat continues, the Ming army is afraid that the horses will be trampled into the camp, in desperation, I had to order the cavalry of the Chinese army to immediately go out to fight to block, so that the plan to retreat will be in vain.

"I'm so angry, the eagle on my cǎo plain was actually chased away by a rabbit, are you ashamed?" Bald Meng shouted angrily at the cavalry commander of the palace and the four commanders under his tent.

"I'll wait for the damned, please ask the Great Khan to condemn the crime." Commander Zheshang should not be ashamed to die, but he is a straightforward person and said with a stiff neck: "But I don't understand, obviously they only have so many cavalry, why didn't the Great Khan attack with the whole army and cut them all into meat sauce, but he just wanted to retreat?" Won't it be possible to slaughter them and retreat? It is said that they are afraid of Minggou's reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? Why don't I see a single bird feather? ”

"You still argue and look for death." The head of Wanhu shouted angrily: "The general of the defeated army, drag it out and cut it down." ”

Bald Meng Ke waved his big hand and said: "Slow, Zheshang, don't make sense, we were just frightened by some illusory reinforcements, if I had attacked with the whole army just now, I would have annihilated them all; Anyway, if they want to fight, we will accompany them, and since they can't go, we will destroy them all and go again. ”

The two tribal leaders and a general manager of ten thousand households looked at each other, wanting to step forward to dissuade them, but the bald man shouted with a blue face: "If anyone says more, Ben Khan will cut him, I have had enough, Ben Khan has suffered great shame in the past ten days, and I don't want to endure it anymore." Passing on my order, the evacuated rear army returned quickly, prepared horses to line up, and Ben Khan wanted to fight to the death with the Ming army. ”
