and Tongbo.

The Ming army is in formation.

This is actually a wetland in the upper reaches of the Kobdo River.

But it's not a plain anymore.

It is a hilly area of the outward spread part of the Altai Mountains, because it is a hilly area, so the melting snow gathers to form a wetland, and the snow-capped mountains can be seen in the distance, but it is still at least more than 200 miles away from the main vein of the Altai Mountains......

"The sea is dry and icy, and the clouds are bleak and condensed.

The ancients were honest and did not deceive me! ”

Zhu Di looked at the snow-capped mountains in front of him reaching into the sky, and the spectacular scene of clouds constantly surging.

Therefore, it is obviously wrong to translate this poem into desert snow in modern times, which clearly means that the snow mountains are towering, although Cen Shen is in Luntai, but the Luntai in the Tang Dynasty is Urumqi. He was on a snowy day at the end of August, standing in the middle of the snow-covered, white Bogda Mountain and the main vein of the Tianshan Mountains, watching his friends return from the wind and snow, looking at the towering mountains turning into a hundred zhang of ice connecting the sky and the earth, and the clouds pressed on the sky and a depression, and then wrote this poem with infinite emotion.

"What a poet indeed!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he turned his head to look behind him.

Behind it is an endless banner and beneath the hunting banner are heavily armed soldiers.

The more than 20,000 Ming troops lined up a total of eight camel cities, and then the eight camel cities were lined up into a three-line formation of the first two, the middle and the fourth, and the last two, but the spacing between the front and rear was wide, so it was actually two diamond formations.

As for the cavalry all into the camel city, in the center of the middle four camel cities is the Chinese army, and Zhu Di's personal guard, as the most elite assault force is divided into three teams, Zhu Di personally led a team, just in the middle of the first two camel cities, Tan Yuan and Qiu Fu each led a team between the middle four camel cities, this is actually Yang Feng gave them a research to maximize the firepower advantage of the camel city version of Gustav, the era of firearms, what is the most important thing?

Fire projection.

The enemy attack the front, unless confined to the narrow front of the two camel cities, as long as you want to attack the flank, you have to face the fire of the two formations behind.

I want to go around the flanks of the entire three-line formation......

There was still to face the fire of the flanks of the three phalanxes.

If there is an encirclement attack on all fronts, then this kind of fire will be in all directions.

If you focus on attacking one polygon.

The camel city in the back formation can put ammunition and replenishment troops into the front line continuously, as long as you can't move and want to retreat, then the cavalry in the camel city will kill and give you the most fatal blow.

One of the major drawbacks of cavalry attacks is that they are limited in the number of troops that can be deployed on an attacking surface.

A cavalry needs far more space than an infantryman, in fact, a cavalry occupies a space that can fit ten infantry, this formation makes the enemy cavalry no matter how to attack, in fact, one enemy ten. Moreover, after continuing to attack, the fallen horses will form a de facto obstacle to the follow-up, so if the cavalry attacks the infantry, if it cannot be successful in one attack, it is best to retreat quickly, otherwise they will be unlucky once they fall into a fierce battle. Similarly, when the infantry faces the cavalry, as long as they hold steady and don't run when they rush over, and then the first wave of hard top impact, it is basically time to counter-kill the cavalry.

For example, Yue Jiajun.

It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family.

If you can't shake it, you can only sigh helplessly.

Of course, in the feudal era, the infantry who could not run in the face of the cavalry impact was really the elite of the elite, and the usual situation was that the cavalry scattered in a hurry before they arrived.

You don't even have to come to it.

For example, the pillar of shame of my Great Song Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of Kaifeng forbidden troops on the bank of the Yellow River who were frightened by the war drums of Wanyan Lou's room.

"How many enemy troops?"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Fu who came over.

In front of them were the Mongol cavalry, which had also begun to line up.

More Mongol cavalry was still arriving.

Because the terrain here is relatively complicated, in order to ensure observation, a total of five hot air balloons were raised, Zhang Fu's forward formation was one, the rear of the Chinese army one, then the left and right one, the back one, but the Chinese army did not observe, but ordered.

"There are no more than 20,000 on the front, there are 10,000 cavalry on the left and right wings, and the rear has not been found so far, if the enemy does not have more cavalry to arrive in the future, then it is 40,000 cavalry, if they still have to divide their troops to take the south road to copy our rear road, then it is at most 20,000, and the entire Warat and Elberk Khanting, this time it will only make up 60,000 cavalry."

Zhang Fu said.

"That's all.

In the final analysis, Erlebok is just a mourning dog, sweating profusely to give face, and if he doesn't give face, he is a person who comes to ask for food.

Is he destroyed, what does it matter to the other tribes?

Nomads, nomads can't do it here, it's a big deal to drive their livestock to other places. ”

Yang Feng said.

This is also true.

Western Mongolia did not say that when Erlebok came and gave an order, all the tribes were immediately loyal and brave, and they rushed to King Qin day and night.

Sweat?

The Great Khan is a bird!

I've already killed two Great Khans before.

His banner of the Great Khan has limited appeal here, and Warat follows him, in fact, in order to expand under his banner, with his banner, the tribes that have fled from the east can join, such as Durbert, Heshute, etc., but there is no psychological burden to kill the Great Khan when needed.

He was originally killed by Uzig Hashkha in history.

Now that we can gather these troops, it can be regarded as a face-saving for everyone.

"20,000 against 40,000, one against two, the ancestor is one Han and five Hu, and now we are only one against two, so they should not escape, fire cannons at the enemy, and tell them that we are impatient to wait."

Zhu Di said.

Zhang Fu saluted and quickly entered his formation.

Soon one of his rapid-fire guns fired shells at the maximum elevation angle at the Mongol cavalry still in the distance, and in this way even the rapid-fire guns could hit several miles, although it was a matter of fate where they landed. However, immediately after the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side blew the horn, it was obvious that they had understood the meaning of the Ming army, and then the Mongolian cavalry in the formation separated left and right, revealing the main attack force behind......

"This, this, what the hell is this?"

Yang Feng was stunned and looked at the countless cows walking towards this side.

But on both sides of these oxen were bundles of wood, and their heads were covered with iron armor.

These bundles of wood are very large, some even rough segments, on both sides of the cow's neck, and behind the cover of these logs, it is obvious to see the footsteps of the forward, and they are densely packed together, like a moving fortress.

"They're cunning."

Zhu Di smiled.

This is actually the shield car.

It's just that it's not a car, but a piece of wood that is carried by oxen to provide cover for the soldiers behind, and then as close as possible to the formation, and then rely on archery to get a close face like my Daqing. Obviously, in the previous battles, the Ming army's firearms camel city had forced them to use their brains, and what could be urgently achieved in the current situation was actually this relatively simple way.

Very smart.

The Ming army's shotguns and bullets really couldn't hit these log sections.

The armor on the bull's head was thicker, and it was also very difficult to really hurt them.

Once they moved to a distance of ten meters, the sharp arrows of the Mongolian archers could easily shoot at the Ming army, and even if these cattle were killed, they would also close the confrontation line to the range of the bow and arrow, and the rest would depend on the confident archery skills of the Mongolian cavalry.

It's similar to my Daqing shield cart idea, except that they don't have a coated minion for carts.

Then you have to use cows.

But they forgot a little......

The cow is not as obedient as the clothed minions of my Qing Dynasty!

"Mortar, change to flower shells!"

Zhu Di shouted.

The signal soldier next to him waved the signal flag, and then on the hot air balloon in mid-air, the signal soldier repeated, and soon Zhang Fu's formation, accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder, eight flowering bullets with small tails went straight into the sky, falling towards the cattle in an arc, and the next moment the flames of the explosion rose among them.

Even the two flowering shells exploded directly on the top of their heads because the fuses burned too fast.

The cows were startled without any suspense.

They turned around desperately, and the archers who were hiding behind the wood shouted in panic, tugging at the ropes and trying to hold on.

And then......

The rapid-fire guns fired a sudden salvo.

Then all the cows were shocked.

"Kill!"

Zhu Di roared.

Immediately afterwards, His Royal Highness King Yan rushed forward with a spear.

Five hundred guards shouted behind him.

The Mongol archers, unable to control the herd, fled in confusion, and were even knocked down and trampled by the cattle beside them, and even if they dodged the cattle, they were immediately overtaken by the galloping cavalry. His Royal Highness King Yan took the lead, and the spear in his hand instantly pierced through a running archer, drawing the spear as he galloped past, and then stabbed at the next target, while the horse crashed into an archer who could not dodge. Behind him 500 iron horsemen rushed into the assault, and the archers in the rout ran like madness, and then were trampled under the horses' hooves, and because of the startled herd of cattle, the Mongol cavalry behind could not come to the rescue, and could only watch them be drowned by the iron horses.

In the blink of an eye, this experimental offensive team was almost completely wiped out.

King Yan's iron cavalry flaunted his might in front of the formation......

"I, King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, where is the Great Khan? So far, why not a while? ”

He yelled.

Of course, the Mongol cavalry on the opposite side had no time to take care of him at this time.

They were dodging the galloping herd.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Di's iron horse turned around and quickly retreated into the formation.

At the same time, the Mongol cavalry on the left flank began to attack, and this part, obviously unfamiliar with the Ming army, rushed straight to the camel city protruding from the left flank, and soon began to enter the range of rapid-fire guns, but the Ming army, which had limited ammunition, strictly followed Yang Feng's regulations and did not fire within less than twenty zhang.

Soon the cavalry advance was twenty feet, but at the same time it turned, and then drew its bow on horseback, waiting for the horse to cut closer by inertia as it turned.

The Ming army still did not open fire.

By the time their strikers had finished turning, even the frontline was already shooting arrows.

And then......

Still no fire.

Even if there are already many Ming soldiers who have been hit by arrows, they are still waiting.

The enemy advance swept by, and because of the inertia of the charge, it cut to the camel city behind.

That's when ......

All rapid-fire guns and three-eyed guns fire a salvo in an instant.

Because of the sideways sweeping in front of the formation, and many of these cavalry overlapping each other, this round of salvo received unprecedented efficiency, and at least two hundred cavalry who had completed the turn in front of the formation fell in the blink of an eye, and most of the rest were tripped because of the sudden fall of their companions. And those cavalrymen who had already completed archery and were cutting to the side and rear of the camel city were also facing the shotgun sprayed by the rear camel city at the same time, as well as the fire of the volley from the side of this camel city.

This part is even more unlucky.

Because they were in a crossfire from two directions, the vast majority of more than a hundred cavalry fell.

There were only about twenty horsemen, and they turned around and fled in horror.

The follow-up cavalry immediately stopped the attack, turned around without hesitation in the distance, and quickly retreated to the starting point of the attack, where they watched in horror, but the Ming army did not pursue.

Instead, many soldiers stepped out of formation and went to the battlefield to collect the enemy's bows and arrows.

Especially arrows.

This move made the opposing commander understand something.

Immediately after that, at his urging, the cavalry trembled and charged twice, but this time they learned to be obedient, and did not dare to approach within twenty zhang at all, so they turned around forty zhang away, and then threw themselves into the formation. The Ming army in the formation was not interested in wasting ammunition with them, anyway, the arrows thrown at such a distance would cause them little damage in a full set of armor, at most, the camels needed protection, but these camels had protection. Those empty boxes were covered with them, and then the Ming army also returned fire with bows and arrows, and the two sides shot at each other like rookies pecking each other, and the Mongolian cavalry did not notice that the Ming cavalry behind the camel city had quietly assembled.

Especially Tan Yuan's three hundred iron horses.

When the Mongol cavalry had finished shooting their arrows and their horses were a little tired, they began to assault......

"Why hasn't it moved here?"

Yang Feng used the binoculars to enjoy Tan Yuan's performance, and then looked at the enemy troops on the right flank.

The latter has remained on hold.

"Ugqi hashha?"

He looked there.

His magnification lens allows him to clearly see the people there.

Unlike the Mongols.

Ugqi Hashha was born in Telengut.

It's hard to say where this people are, but the Russians call them White Khalmuts, and as for Khalmuk, they are Turkuts, which means that they are in the same group as the Turks, but they are Caucasians.

After all, Warat was not a Mongol in the true sense of the word.

The Mongol Murwe of the Mongolian source.

Genuine yellow race.

However, in the process of the rise of Mongolia, the Mongolian plateau included Siberia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe, and a large number of small tribes joined, many of which were not of the yellow race, such as the Asut Department of Arutai, who were authentic Caucasians, and even their beliefs were Orthodox. I have to say that the Mongol Khan at this time was also quite sad, the most loyal Guards Legion leaders were Caucasians, and the only force that could be relied on at present was the Siberian group from the Yenisei River Valley.

And their own people are still alive......

This vast majority was actually under the rule of the Ming Emperor.

The largest remaining part of the Mongolian headquarters was the Ming Haixi Hou Naha, who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty with more than 200,000 Mongols, and then most of them were resettled in Guangxi, and he himself had died of illness.

He is a genuine Mongolian.

Descendants of Mu Huali.

"Damn, this guy is withdrawing!"

Yang Feng said suddenly.

Well, Ugqi Hashkha retreated without a fight.
