The remaining Mongol cavalry froze in place, somewhat at a loss.

If you continue to charge forward, not only will the men and horses be blocked, but the firepower of the Ming army will be too ferocious, and I feel that no matter how many people rush up, the final result will be death.

But when you retreat, there is no order.

So the remaining 600 or so riders were stunned.

Jiannu was stunned in place, and the Ming army would not be stunned.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Jiannu cavalry stopped at a distance of thirty paces, the second platoon of Ming troops came up again and opened fire at the same time.

There was another dense sound of guns, and the Jiannu cavalry who were stunned in place instantly fell nearly two hundred horses, and the remaining Jiannu cavalry finally collapsed, turned their horses and ran.

The Ming army was not idle, and pointed their guns at the Jiannu who fell to the ground.

Although many Jiannu fell off the horse, they only fainted, or were only injured, and even some Jiannu were unscathed after falling off the horse, jumping up and wanting to run back.

However, they no longer had a chance to run for their lives.

With the sound of rows and rows of guns, Jiannu fell to the ground one after another.

From the four Niu Lu's Mongolian cavalry into the attack, to the final offensive was disintegrated by the Ming army, it was less than a quarter of an hour, but it was less than a quarter of an hour, more than 700 Mongolian cavalry were buried, and the Ming army had zero casualties.

The sound of firing guns stopped one after another, and the smoke of gunpowder gradually dispersed, and the tragic scene was presented in front of the soldiers on both sides at the same time.

As a result, exclamations sounded in front of the two armies at the same time, and it was obvious that the scene in front of them surprised both sides, whether it was Jiannu, who had an absolute superiority in strength, or the robot-like Ming army, they were all surprised.

……

Staring at the corpses of men and horses almost all over the battlefield, Duoduo felt that his brain was buzzing, how could it be? How is that possible, how can it be this result?

Obviously, the first wave of temptation attacks just now almost succeeded.

Then logically speaking, the second wave of the attack invested a full four Niu Lu Mongol cavalry, absolutely will not miss, and should definitely crush the Ming army in one fell swoop!

However, reality dealt a cruel blow to Dórd.

The second wave of attack not only failed to crush the Ming army, but was even more defeated!

The Eight Banners generals such as Sony, Aobai, Baiyintu, Yabulan and Waxinga were also in disbelief, and the scene in front of them was so exciting that it was almost subversive.

To paraphrase a common saying in later generations, their three views were shattered.

In their inherent impression, except for the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers in the Battle of the Hunhe River, the Ming army encountered the Mongolian cavalry in the field battle and basically collapsed at the touch of a button, without exception.

And the white pole soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers also relied on the car battalion to carry the Mongolian cavalry.

If there is no car battalion, even the white pole soldiers or Zhejiang soldiers will not be able to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.

After all, the Mongol cavalry was enough to beat the Ming army without the protection of the chariot battalion just by relying on a mangu tactic.

But now, a group of Ming cavalry did not rely on the Che battalion, and actually defeated the Mongol cavalry in the field, and it seemed to be very easy, and it seemed that they were not afraid of a few more waves of attacks?

It took a long time for Dodor to finally recover from the shock.

Shocked, Duoduo immediately became a little annoyed, this time he was really embarrassed.

And what made Duoduo care more than the loss of face was the punishment, and if he was defeated in the end this time, he would be in trouble.

At this time, Duoduo did not know that Dorgon had completed the reform of the military merit system of the Eight Banners, so as long as there was a reason, even if he suffered a defeat, he would no longer have to be punished like before.

So if according to the previous Eight Banners military merit system, Duoduo's title of county king this time will not be guaranteed, and if Baylor is not guaranteed, he will be directly demoted to Beizi or even Zhenguo Gong, and Zhengbai Banner does not know how many Niu Lu will be deprived of? Although it is only increased or decreased within the two white flags, this is not a good thing after all.

What if one day I turn against Brother Fourteen?

So he can't lose this battle, he has to win, and he has to win beautifully.

What does it mean to win pretty? Where you fall, you have to get up.

Facing Zamuso and Tengjith, who fled back with a disgraced face, Duoduo said hatefully: "Zamusuo, Tengjith, this king will give you two another chance, this time you each lead a Jiala, and attack the infantry array of the Ming army from four directions at the same time, listen, if you still can't take it this time, don't come back!" ”

"Huh!" Zamuso and Fujigis looked miserable, and they could only bite the bullet and continue to attack.

……

Seeing that Jiannu had divided the cavalry and started to line up again, Hu Guozhu sneered.

Even if the number of cavalry dispatched by Jiannu this time was larger, it seemed that there were three or four thousand horsemen, but so what? In the face of the well-defended hollow phalanx, no matter how many waves of attacks Jiannu came, it was in vain.

"It's all there, hurry up and refill the ammo."

"Grenades, one grenade per person!"

With the sound of Hu Guozhu and the soldiers of King Qin, the innermost row of cavalry quickly returned to the war horse to get ammunition and grenades, and then distributed the ammunition to the two rows of cavalry in front.

The grenade of the cavalry was later developed by the Ming Arsenal.

The weight is lighter than that of infantry grenades, each of which weighs ten pounds, and the cavalry only weigh two pounds.

The grenades used by the cavalry are light in weight and have little lethality, but they are very effective in disturbing the cavalry, and can cause great interference to the enemy cavalry.

In the previous more than half a month of fighting, the reason why the Ming cavalry was able not to fall behind, the grenade played a great role, because whenever the Jiannu cavalry chased closer, as long as a grenade was thrown behind the horse's buttocks, the Jiannu war horse would turn around in fright, and the Ming army's war horse would accelerate wildly, and then easily get rid of the Jiannu cavalry chasing.

In addition, there are a small number of flintlock pistols that malfunction or explode.

Owing to the insufficient number of flintlock muskets, the cavalry battalion did not have spare flintlock muskets.

These cavalrymen, who had lost their flintlock pistols, were left at the end by Hu Guozhu as a substitute.

In the event of a attrition of cavalry in either direction, these substitutions can be replaced immediately.

Although the casualties of the Ming cavalry are still very small until now, it is impossible for such a large-scale battle not to have casualties, and someone will need to replace them at that time.

……

The decisive battle in Guting Town is already on the verge of breaking out,

The infantry of the Ming army led by Chongzhen and Du Yinxi was still twenty miles away.

"Quick! Hurry up and speed up! "Du Yinxi kept urging the army to speed up the march, because he had already smelled the smell of conspiracy and was worried that something would happen to the cavalry battalion.

Chongzhen seemed very calm and not panicked at all.

"Holy Lord, this is all to blame." Du Yinxi said with a look of self-reproach, "This matter is negligent on the part of the minister." ”

Chongzhen was surprised and said, "Plug Yin, what are you negligent?" Why can't I understand something? ”

Du Yinxi hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, Jiannu is obviously prepared for this attack, if nothing else, he must have set up an ambush on the way to pursue the cavalry battalion." ”

"The pursuit of the cavalry battalion will inevitably lead to an ambush."

"After more than half a month of training in battle, although the cavalry battalion's equestrian skills and cavalry archery have made great progress, it is still slightly inferior to Jiannu, not to mention that the number of Jiannu's cavalry still occupies an absolute advantage, so if the cavalry battalion is surrounded by Jiannu's heavy troops, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"It doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the ambush." Chongzhen shook his head and said.

"After all, the terrain here is a plain terrain, even if the ambush soldiers can't hide at a very close distance like the mountains, because if they are too close, they will be discovered at night, and if the ambush soldiers are hidden dozens or even dozens of miles away, it will leave enough time for the cavalry battalion to react, whether it is to break through or line up to meet the attack, the cavalry battalion occupies the initiative."

Du Yinxi sighed: "The minister is worried that they won't be able to break out, otherwise there should have been a sentry horse a long time ago." ”

"That's right." Chongzhen thought deeply and said, "I didn't meet even a single sentry from the cavalry battalion along the way, which is enough to prove that the cavalry battalion is really under siege and can't get out." ”

"But even so, there's still no need to worry."

"Because I have long taught the cavalry battalion the hollow phalanx."

"Hollow phalanx?" Plug Yinxi obviously lacks confidence.

"Holy Lord, the hollow phalanx is really as magical as you say?"

Chongzhen didn't explain much: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

The power of the hollow phalanx has already been proven in another time and space.

Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo was due to the hollow phalanx.

Because of this, Chongzhen was not worried about any accidents in the cavalry battalion.

Because the Jiannu who came to Xuzhou only had cavalry, the nomadic cavalry alone could not deal with the infantry corps that had already set up a hollow phalanx and were equipped with flintlock pistols with socket bayonets.

……

The battle in Guting Town was as Chongzhen expected,

The Mongol cavalry simply couldn't help the Ming army, which had already set up a hollow phalanx.

Although the Mongol cavalry engaged in the attack was two Jiala and 3,000 men, and attacked from the east, south, west, and north at the same time, it was of little use.

"Woohoo!" The sound of the gun is endless.

With the sound of dense rows of guns, the Mongol cavalry fell one after another.

Then the horses lying on the ground had a serious impact on the rear cavalry, so that the rear cavalry could not rush up, or were forced to stop in place, or went around from the side and collided with the other cavalry.

So the end result was that the Mongol cavalry could not go within thirty paces at all.

Basically, between thirty and fifty paces, the Mongol cavalry was completely defeated.

The Mongol cavalry engaged in the attack was more numerous, but only lasted a little longer.

The first wave of the attack lasted only three minutes, the second wave of the four Niulu lasted a quarter of an hour, and the third wave of the two Jiala only lasted half an hour.

Half an hour later, the entire battlefield fell silent again.

As the smoke cleared, an even more tragic scene emerged.

But I saw that the corpses of the people and horses who had fallen to the ground had piled up into a mountain.

It's really piled up like a mountain, not just an adjective.
