Seeing that the Ming army was hiding behind the parapet wall and did not show its head, the two rows of Mongolian cavalry kept their bows and walked forward.

Zhu Gaoyuan looked at it, and shouted: "Steady, don't show your head, no one is allowed to show your head without my will, let alone light the fire rope and let it go indiscriminately!" ”

The Mongolian cavalry can pull the bow and release arrows on the galloping war horse, and the hit rate is quite not low, so it is even more difficult to release arrows on foot.

This distance arquebus is no match for a bow and arrow.

Such senseless casualties are completely unnecessary.

Wang Chengen repeated loudly with a few eunuchs.

The eunuch's voice was sharp and thin, but extremely penetrating.

Hearing the eunuch's will, all the Ming troops stood still.

In the blink of an eye, two rows of Mongol cavalry had arrived in front of the trench.

As soon as the two chiefs of hundreds of households gave an order, more than 200 Mongolian cavalrymen threw away their bows and arrows, drew their scimitars from their waists, and then jumped into the trench like dumplings.

These Mongol cavalry were a little overly arrogant.

Normal should be half on alert, half on offense.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at both ends of the trench.

The Mongolian cavalry hurriedly looked around, but it was the Ming army who used hemp rope to pull open the sacks that had been blocked at both ends of the trench in advance, and the icy river water immediately poured into the trench from both ends.

The river flooded, and the Mongol cavalry was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

In the face of sudden changes, normal people will be confused.

"Leave the river alone!" The two hundred household chiefs were used to seeing the battlefield, so they quickly reacted and gave an order, "Take a human ladder to climb the wall and kill all the dogs of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The Mongol cavalry worked in groups of three and quickly set up ladders.

The third Mongol cavalry in the same group stepped on the ladder set up by his companions, and climbed the earthen wall with ease with only one jump.

About seventy Mongol cavalrymen managed to climb the earthen wall, but before they could remove the scimitars from their mouths, hundreds of spears stabbed at them.

A dozen or so Mongol cavalrymen who were slow to react were directly stabbed into a sieve.

Although most of the Mongol cavalry dodged the spears of the Ming army, they could not gain a firm foothold on the earthen wall, so they could only jump backwards and fall back into the trench.

Only a handful of fierce Mongol cavalry jumped into the earthen wall.

However, a few Mongol cavalry were simply not enough to determine the course of the battlefield.

After barely cutting off a few spears, more spears stabbed at him.

The fiercest Mongol cavalry was soon stabbed into a sieve.

The first wave of the Mongol cavalry attack was broken down, and a dozen people were killed.

The first wave of attacks was broken down, and the Mongol cavalry quickly organized a second wave of attacks.

But the result was worse than the first wave of attacks, and almost twenty more were killed.

By the time the Mongol cavalry tried to organize a third wave of attack, the river had already filled the trenches.

This is a big trouble, standing waist-deep in the river, the action has been greatly affected, and what is even worse is the cavalry who is responsible for climbing the wall and attacking back, because the horse boots are poured into the river, and the slippery feet can't even stand steadily, and even fifty percent of the combat effectiveness can not be exerted, and the final result can be imagined.

The third wave of the offensive was soon broken up by the Ming army.

And this wave of losses was even greater, and more than thirty were stabbed to death.

The two chiefs of the hundred households finally sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

But at this time, it was too late to remember that the retreat was too late, and the remaining Mongol cavalry had just crawled back to the ground from the trench when Ming musketeers appeared behind the parapet.

Now it's really a queue to be shot!

It's less than ten meters away, and even the worst shooting accuracy of the musket can hit.

With the sound of "Woo Woo Woo Boom", the Mongol cavalry fell in a pool of blood one after another.

The Mongolian cavalry really lost a lot of money this time, because the horse boots were in the water, and they couldn't stand steadily and run fast, so they could only be shot by the Ming musketeers one by one like rabbits.

In the end, none of the more than 200 Mongol cavalry engaged in this wave of attacks escaped alive.

The smoke that hung in front of the parapet gradually dispersed, and the whole bay soon fell silent again, except for the seriously wounded and undead Mongol cavalry, who kept wailing and sounding a little frightening.

However, despite winning a small game, Zhu Gaoyuan was not happy.

Because the Ming musketeers also had a lot of inexplicable casualties.

There are those who blow up their chests, there are those who kill their own people, and more are accidental injuries caused by the fire rope.

Many musketeers were in a hurry when they were charging, and the canister was ignited by the fire rope caught in his finger, and the gunpowder exploded, and the musketeer was seriously injured in an instant.

It even affected others.

This is the hard wound of the arquebus, and the fatal flaw of the arquebus is the arquebus.

In the last battle of the Nameless Valley, there was no problem due to the fact that it was well prepared and only three rows of guns were placed, so there was no need to reload ammunition, and only a few musketeers were injured by the explosion.

This time, because it was a multi-round shooting, the problem was exposed at once.

The most fatal flaw of the arquebus is that it is easy to misfire when charging, so you have to be very careful.

Moreover, the line should not be too dense, otherwise the arquebus will ignite the medicine jar of the companion if you are not careful.

Through this battle, Zhu Gaoyuan finally had the most intuitive understanding of the defects of the arquebus, which is no wonder that the arquebus must be assisted by a spearman.

Because the density of the arquebus alone was simply not enough to hold back the charge of the cavalry.

This defect can only be solved when the flintlock gun appears, so there is no need to think about the hollow phalanx or something, there is no such condition at all, and to use it forcibly is to find death.

……

Zhu Gaoyuan's mood was not relaxed, and the mood of Xiao Ri Tie Chi Na was even heavier, so heavy that he didn't even have the mood to settle accounts with Hai Rigu.

Because the contradiction with Hairigu is only a contradiction within the tribe.

But the battle with the Ming army is a life-and-death match!

If this battle is lost because of the liquidation of Hai Rigu, it is because of a small loss, as the head of the tribe, such a simple truth is still understood.

Therefore, he must also comfort Hairigu in turn.

"Hai Rigu, the eagles on the grassland also have times when they fold their wings, and a failure is nothing."

However, the comfort of the Pori Tichi made Hai Rigu even more ashamed, and immediately said with a dark face: "Touren, this defeat is just because I am too light on the enemy, please give me another chance, this time I will not underestimate the enemy again, I will definitely break through this earthen wall, and kill all the Ming Dynasty people hiding behind the earthen wall, and leave no one behind!" ”

He frowned again, not knowing how to dissuade Hai Rigu.

The assault must not be carried out again, because the frontal assault can only be sent to death, and the camp built by the Ming army in the Hara Hetao is no less than a small military fortress.

But you can't say this directly, because it is easy to hurt Hai Rigu's self-esteem.

Just when he didn't know what to do, the distant sound of a cow's horn suddenly sounded on the grassland behind him.

The low horn sounded three times, and Hai Rigu's face changed instantly, and he said: "The horn sounded three times, there is a strong enemy!" Could it be that the Ming Dynasty reinforcements have arrived? ”

"Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The first time he yelled.

The horn sounded, and the cavalry of the Arch Rabbit tribe began to form again.

In a short time, more than 2,000 cavalry were lined up in more than 20 horizontal formations facing south.

After a while, more than a dozen horsemen galloped back from the south, and the night was not collected when the arch rabbit department was scattered.

"Chief!" The leader of the ten households said loudly, "There are more than 2,000 horsemen heading north from the direction of the White Horse River, and the banners look like the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"It's really a Ming army!"

The look on the day was awe-inspiring.

Hai Rigu, who has always been arrogant, is also wilted now.

The 1,000 Ming army in the Hara Hetao has not yet been resolved, and more than 2,000 cavalry have come.

If the cavalry of the Ming army coming from the south is also so difficult, then their Arch Rabbit Department will really hang this time, and if they don't do it, they will suffer a big defeat and bury the last vitality.

Soon the Ming cavalry appeared in view.

……

"Phew!" Li Yan gently drank the war horse under his crotch.

Li Nian, Li Mou, and more than 2,000 riders also stopped.

Li Yan took out a monocular from the leather bag on his waist and pointed it at the river bend in front of him.

This telescope was captured by Li Nian from a general soldier of the Ming army in the Battle of Tongguan, and it is said that it was a treasure presented by Westerners to the Ming official army, and it can clearly see the battlefield several miles away.

After adjusting the focus slightly, Li Yan could see the entire battlefield clearly.

Seeing that the two sides were still facing each other, Li Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I finally caught up." ”

"Chongzhen's old man is fine, right? That's great. Li Nian also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If the Mongols kill Chongzhen Lao'er, we will run for nothing." ”

Li Mu said even more eagerly: "Don't say anything, hurry up." ”

"Do it?" Li Nian said angrily, "Then which one do you say to hit first?" ”

"Nonsense, of course, hit Chongzhen Lao'er first." Li Mu didn't have a good breath and said, "We ran for hundreds of miles, isn't it just to catch Chongzhen back?" ”

Li Nian said: "What should we do after the Mongols outflank us? ”

"How so?" Li Mu was stunned and said, "The Mongols are the enemies of the Ming army, and we are also the enemies of the Ming army, so we should be friends with the Mongols, and they have no reason to fight us." ”

"I can't tell you." Li Nian said, "I don't understand anything. ”

"Hey, who are you talking about?" Li Mu said angrily, "I'm your brother." ”

"Alright, stop arguing." Li Yan put away the binoculars and said, "Ignoring the Mongols, it is definitely not possible to attack the Ming army directly, but we can contact the Mongols, maybe we can take what we need, as long as the Mongols are willing to let Chongzhen to us and take it away, the Ming prisoners of war and war horses can be given to them." ”

Li Nian volunteered: "Brother, I'll go and tell the Mongols." ”

"No, you don't." Li Yan said, "I'll tell them in person." ”

After a pause, Li Yan said again: "You find someone who can speak Mongolian." ”

Li Nian really found a Mongolian speaker from his own team.

Li Yan took this ride and went straight to the riding formation of the Gongtu Department.
