Before the advent of firearms, only cavalry could restrain cavalry.

Even if firearms appeared, the firearms of this era could not completely restrain the cavalry.

Therefore, even if the Ming Dynasty had a full 2,000 Franc cannons, it was these cavalry who ultimately decided the outcome by their short combat.

In terms of strength, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is inferior to the Mongolian cavalry, but in terms of morale, these Mongolian cavalry, who are forced to be cannon fodder, cannot be compared with the Ming cavalry at all.

Because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was watching them behind their backs, they were fighting for the Emperor and for the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

Morale is never an ethereal thing, it represents the courage of soldiers.

At this time, the morale was high and almost fanatical, and the Ming cavalry directly put life and death out of the way, and in the face of the spears of the Mongolian cavalry, they did not flinch at all, and they did not even dodge the action, and directly exchanged their lives with the other party.

There are many more soldiers, and the first choice after being stabbed is not to check their wounds, but to try their best to grab the spear that pierces their body, and prevent the other party from pulling the spear back.

The number of Ming cavalry far exceeded these Mongolian cavalry, and at this moment, under the impact of these soldiers who were not afraid of death, the Mongolian cavalry, which was originally stronger than the Ming cavalry, actually showed a hint of defeat.

The nature of the Mongol cavalry was somewhat similar to that of mercenaries, and they had no determination to fight to the death.

At this moment, seeing the Daming cavalry like crazy demons, they were instantly a little frightened, and their morale, which was not high, fell to the bottom in an instant.

Even the Mongol soldiers, who were all completely frightened, had already begun to flee towards the edge of the battlefield.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Seeing the Mongol cavalry that began to rout, Abatai's face couldn't help but become a little solemn after cursing.

As a veteran, he could naturally see that the reason why the Mongol army was defeated was not because they were too weak, but because those Ming soldiers were too crazy.

It's just that this situation makes him quite puzzled in his heart, "How can these Ming troops be so crazy?" Could it be that the prestige of the Ming Emperor in the army is so high? ”

Abatai couldn't figure it out, and there was no time for him to think about it at this time.

The Mongol cavalry has already tested the artillery position of the Ming army, and if it drags on any longer, not only will the Mongol cavalry be defeated, but even the artillery carriages that have been dumb may have to be reloaded.

Thinking of this, Abatai no longer hesitated, he directly ordered the whole army to attack and kill in the direction of the Ming army.

There were also cavalry in the Eight Banners Army, but the combat methods of the Eight Banners cavalry were very different from those of the Mongol cavalry.

The Eight Banners cavalry is not good at charging into formation, but relying on mobility to rush over, if the enemy deploys a defensive formation, then they will stop charging when they are about to rush in front of the enemy formation, dismount and change their guns to attack.

Because the enemy army was in a defensive formation, the musketeers and archers were surrounded in the formation, and there was no way to shoot at them, so they could only be beaten passively.

And if the enemy army does not change formation, and uses firearms and archers against them, then they will directly rely on the impact of cavalry and kill into the enemy formation.

Such a mobile and flexible combat method can give the Eight Banners cavalry an advantage when facing the enemy.

Since it is extremely difficult for a large army to change formations, this method of combat is extremely difficult to crack.

However, at this moment, they tried all kinds of combat methods, but they suffered a big loss.

Because Lao Zhu also hid thousands of artillery, after Jiannu's cavalry charged, the artillery hidden behind the army directly began to roar.

The artillery built by Lao Zhu with a huge amount of money is vividly and vividly displayed at this moment, and it is a cold weapon war that has been played a bit of a scene in the era of hot weapons.

Thousands of artillery pieces, before the Jiannu cavalry rushed over, directly fought a round, not only causing huge losses to the cavalry, but also breaking up the formation of the Jiannu cavalry by the way.

Then the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, instead of retreating, advanced, and directly surrounded the Jiannu cavalry.

"Da Ming's artillery, how many are there!

！ ”

Seeing this scene, Abatai's heart suddenly became extremely angry, but at this moment he had no room to retreat.

If this cavalry was eaten by the Ming army, then even if he could win in the end, it would only be a miserable victory.

Therefore, Abatai directly took the lead and led the army to support the past.

Although the morale of the Ming army was strong, but his Eight Banners were not vegetarians, and after the two armies met in short arms, they directly launched a tragic battle, and none of the soldiers on both sides retreated.

It's just that in this chaotic army, no one noticed that there was a group of extremely special people, holding a musket with a shape different from ordinary firearms, and shooting at some of Jiannu's generals at a very long distance.

Every time these people fired, one of the generals of Jiannu fell inexplicably.

However, because the two armies fought too fiercely, not too many people found out about this situation, and even if someone did, there was no way to find out the reason in this chaotic battlefield.

After all, no one could have imagined that in this day and age, there would be someone who could take someone's life from a distance of a few hundred meters.

And in addition to these strange gunners, Jiannu also found that the musketeers of the Ming army were also very different from them, and their muskets actually had no arquebuses!

In this period, arquebuses needed to light a long arquebus, and then after the arquebus was burned, the gunpowder was ignited before the firing could be activated.

However, the fire gun on the opposite side did not have a fire rope, but was directly activated, so that the speed of the opposite side was much faster than theirs.

Obviously, there were two firecrackers facing each other, and before the firerope began to be lit, the guns on the opposite side had already sounded, which meant that they had to wait for the opponent to fight back after a round.

Maybe even more than one round, because the opposite side is also using a three-stage shot, and after this wave is played, it will step back and switch to the next wave.

In this way, at the moment when their arquebus burns, the opponent may even play a second round.

Under this unfair duel, Jiannu's firecrackers suddenly suffered heavy losses.

"How so?"

Abatai slashed down a Ming soldier who rushed up without fear of death, and then glanced at the battlefield with a look of disbelief.

Originally, he thought that this battle should be to defeat these new pawns of the Ming Dynasty in a devastating manner, and then he could break through the Yellow Cliff Pass in one fell swoop and capture the Ming Emperor.

But right now, the battle is deadlocked.

And the most important thing is that when did Daming's firecrackers become so strong, they couldn't raise their heads when they beat the Eight Banners firecrackers.

You must know that Huang Taiji has always paid great attention to the cultivation of firecrackers, and it stands to reason that their firecrackers of the Eight Banners are not weaker than the Ming army at all, why is the gap so big at this time.

"Amma, the Ming army's firecracker is too strong!"

Bolo, whose face was covered in blood, rushed to Abatai and said, "Our firecrackers are not their opponents, and if they continue to fight like this, the firecrackers will be wiped out." ”

"Then don't shoot at them."

Abatai's face became a little hideous, and he slashed out again, knocking a Ming soldier who rushed up to the ground, and then said: "Directly let the army press on and cut through their formation." ”

"Their muskets, then we'll hand them over!"

Although the morale of the Ming army is very strong, the battle-hardened Eight Banners are not much inferior, and Abatai's command is all some battle-hardened elite veterans, so at this moment the situation is still their advantage.

After Abatai said this, he directly shouted: "Sons, kill with me." ”

"The Ming Emperor is in the city behind, as long as the Ming Emperor is taken, the endless wealth of the Ming Dynasty is our Daqing!

！ ”

"Kill, kill the emperor, rob the Ming!

！ ”

When the soldiers of Jiannu heard Abatai's words, their morale suddenly rose a little.

The army of Jiannu, which was already in the upper hand, has added a bit of courage at this moment.

However, after Abatai had just rushed forward with his army to kill for a while, he suddenly found that there was a fire in the rear.

The large battalion behind them was actually attacked and broken by someone who took the opportunity to break it, and then burned it with fire.

Countless tents were ablaze, and their camp suddenly became ablaze.

Seeing this, Abatai's face became extremely ugly, because he had no idea where the ambush army that broke through his camp came from.

After this fire was ignited, the Mongolian cavalry, which was already somewhat defeated, directly took advantage of this opportunity to escape, and even the soldiers of the Eight Banners, some of them were panicked at this moment, and their morale fell directly to the extreme.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Abatai immediately made a decision, and he shouted loudly: "The camp has been broken, and we have no way out. ”

"Kill with me and take down the Ming Emperor."

"We will win this battle!

！ ”

"Victory! Win!

！ ”

After Abatai's encouragement, the morale of the Jiannu army rebounded slightly, but the shouting three times and twice also made Lu Wenzhao and the others pay attention to Abatai.

Looking at Abatai, who was fighting in the chaos, there were more than a dozen Mine rifles, quietly raised, aiming at him almost at the same time.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

The gunshot, which should have been deafening, was particularly inconspicuous in this chaotic army, but after this inconspicuous gunshot, Abatai, who was originally like a tiger and wantonly killed, was suddenly struck by lightning, and his whole body instantly froze in place.

Almost half of the dozen Mine rifles hit him, and the most lethal blow came from Lu Wenzhao, who shot directly into Abatai's forehead without any protection, killing him with a single blow.

"Amma, Amma!

！ ”

Looking at Abatai, who was suddenly motionless, Bolo's heart suddenly became anxious, he ignored the enemies around him, rushed directly to Abatai, and used his body to help him block a few knives.

However, when he blocked these knives, he found that there was a bloody hole in Abatai's forehead, and Abatai's two eyes were dead, and he seemed to be a little dead.

"Amma...... Amma!

！ ”

Bolo's eyes were a little incredulous, and he shouted hoarsely twice, until Abatai's body fell, and then he subconsciously reached out and hugged Abatai's fallen body.
