That night, the camp of the Ming army was brightly lit, and all battalions were counting men and horses and sorting out equipment.

Zhu Qizhen stayed awake all night, patrolling the camp everywhere to appease the morale of the army.

After a day of hard fighting, the soldiers were already exhausted, but they were greatly encouraged to see the emperor personally condole.

There are some elderly veterans, who are even more touched by the scene, and keep telling the recruits around them that when Emperor Taizong personally conquered the army, he was also so hands-on.

After a night of inventory, more than 30,000 wounded and some elderly and infirm people, led by Kuang Wei and other civil servants, returned to Beijing first.

The remaining 40,000 people are elite soldiers, staying to prepare for the final decisive battle.

In the morning breeze, Zhu Qizhen began to click.

Zhang Fu took the lead in the battle: "There are 8,000 troops in the five army camps, 7,000 people in the left sentry army, 6,800 people in the right sentry army, 7,200 people in the left army, and 7,600 people in the right army, a total of 36,600 people, and now they have been assembled, please instruct the emperor!" ”

Chen Ying stepped forward: "There are 3,500 people in the Shenji Battalion, all of them are ready, please instruct the emperor!" ”

Li Zhen stepped forward: "Your Majesty, a total of 3,000 people in the 3,000 battalions have been assembled, please instruct the emperor!" ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at the three thousand cavalry in a neat array, and said loudly: "I think that at the beginning, the three thousand battalions formed by Emperor Taizong only had three thousand cavalry, and the three thousand battalions played the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Li Zhen knelt on one knee and clenched his fists with both hands: "On behalf of the soldiers of the 3,000 battalions, Weichen assures the emperor that he will not fail in his mission!" ”

At the gate of the camp, a fast horse rushed towards the morning sun.

Yuan Bin turned over and dismounted, and said: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen has already made it clear, the other side of the river is indeed the main force of the Yexian Division, but the Yexian himself has not yet arrived, and the current commander is Boyan, the leader of the left wing of Wara, with roughly 50,000 troops, of which the cavalry is the mainstay. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded, looking at this, he also asked Boyan to bring a team of men and horses to take the lead.

Boyan is brave and strategic, and he has not yet seen his own tactics, and he is defenseless against the new type of combat method of the three-stage attack of the fire gun.

If he were the commander, the battle would be much easier.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Qizhen slowly pulled out the dragon pattern sword on his waist.

"Spread my will, prepare for battle!"

On the other side of the river, a muffled trumpet sounded, and the vanguard of Warat began to cross the river.

At the forefront were all cavalry, and the river only submerged to the belly of the horse, and almost without any difficulty reached the opposite bank.

Chen Ying stood on the hillside, watching the number of people crossing the river increasing, and decisively gave an order.

"Fire!"

The gunners were already ready, and as soon as they received the order, they lit the fuse and snorted white smoke.

Bang!

Bang!

The general's cannon began to wield its might, and large iron bumps smashed towards the Warat soldiers and horses on the shore.

The Warat people had just come ashore, and there was a river behind them, and there was nowhere to dodge.

Immediately after that, the chamber is cleared, reloaded, and then fired......

Bang!

Bang!

With the roar of artillery, the Warat people continued to attrition, but this time the number of people attacking was too much, the Ming army only had twelve cannons, and the rate of fire was slow, gradually, through the artillery blockade more and more Warat people, the cavalry formed a phalanx, began to charge the Ming position.

Between the Fushui River and the Ming army camp is a wilderness, unobstructed.

At a distance of only five hundred paces, the cavalry charged with all their might, and it was within easy reach.

Just when the Warat cavalry rushed to two hundred steps in front of the Ming army, an accident suddenly happened, I don't know why, the war horse suddenly fell to the ground, and the knights on horseback were caught off guard and were thrown off the war horse.

Boyan stood on the other side of the river and watched from a distance, and he didn't have time to judge what was happening on the front line.

In the Ming army's formation, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai was extremely excited, because the key to the loss of the Wara people was the pit he led people to dig overnight.

Although these small pits are not large, as long as the hooves of the war horse step on a little, even if they just step on the edge, the whole hooves will sink into it.

The consequence is that the horse stumbles and the man rolls over on his back.

It was only now that he really understood why the emperor asked him to dig such a small pit.

If it is a big pit, it will definitely not escape the eyes of the Warat people, these people have grown up on horseback since childhood, and avoiding the horse pit is like playing.

However, this kind of small pit is different, because it is small, it is hidden, and it is difficult to detect, unless the infantry marches slowly.

Eventually, a centurion spotted the small pits in the ground and immediately warned his comrades, and the cavalry in the formation took refuge, and the number of horses falling began to decrease.

After breaking through the pit formation, there were only the last hundred steps left from the Ming army's position.

Like hungry wolves, the Warats saw the sheep and cried out with a loud voice, charging and shooting arrows with their bows.

The Ming army was still the original tactic, and the rattan soldiers were at the forefront, resisting the flying arrows.

"Shoot!"

With an order, the formation of the Ming army suddenly changed, and I saw the rattan players quickly retreat, revealing rows of firearms ready to fire.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Lead bullets rained down on the Warat cavalry, and in an instant fifty or sixty people fell off their horses.

These Warats are all experienced in battle, and in the face of the blow of the fire, they are not afraid at all, but even more excited.

Because they knew that although the fire gun was powerful, the process of loading ammunition was very cumbersome, and in front of the cavalry charging at high speed, there was no chance after firing it once.

Only a few dozen people were lost, which is completely negligible.

However, just when they thought they were winning, the sound of fire rang out again.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

After the smoke passed, dozens of more Varat cavalry were shot, and this time, they looked a little surprised.

But seeing that the Ming army is close at hand, he can't care so much, just rush!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sound of fire guns sounded again, and this time, the Ming army lowered the muzzle of the gun and specifically shot the war horses, although there were not many killed and injured Warat cavalry, but more than a hundred war horses were hit, and suddenly there was a burst of people turning on their backs.

At this time, the Ming army was already using the three-stage attack tactic for the second time, and it was more skillful than the first time, and it easily shot and killed more than 300 enemies.

On the other side of the river, Boyan, who was standing on the hill watching the battle, frowned, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

As for the tactics of the three major battalions of the Ming army, he has long been familiar with it, and he can no longer be familiar with it.

After the two armies fought, first of all, the Shenji Battalion immediately moved closer to the front of the formation, and prepared for the firing of artillery and firearms, and fired a salvo under unified command.

After the Shenji battalion finished shooting, it would immediately retreat to the two flanks of the team, and then the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion and the 5th battalion would immediately fill the vacant space and launch a surprise attack on the already damaged enemy troops.

During the Yongle period, the seemingly simple tactics of the Ming army once brought extreme panic to the invincible Mongolian cavalry.

However, as time went on, some countermeasures were finally found, such as dispersing the charge.

But this time it was completely different, and the Ming army's firearms were like a torrential rain, endless.

Such a rate of fire, no matter how scattered the cavalry, will still be delivered to the opponent's muzzle after all.

Seeing that the two sides were only a few dozen paces apart, no matter how the troops on their side charged, it was always difficult to move forward.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why Aro was defeated by this Ming army.

Thinking of this, Boyan saw this and hurriedly asked people to blow the horn and recall the troops.
