There were only two bridges on the site to cross the river, and the Ming army did not build any bridges, which meant that in the event of a major defeat, it would be too late to withdraw to the other side.

The Ming army crossed the river in an orderly manner, and the first to cross the river immediately turned the river to the whole team, Shaharu looked at the Ming army from a distance, and found that the Ming army's pikemen arrived first, and then Kacha, put a rectangular shield flat on the ground, and the spear was on the shield, I don't know if there is a bayonet, and the shield and the spear can not move.

Then I saw the Ming army take the bow and arrow from the back, prepare the arrow in one hand, and stand quietly in place.

This means that Shaharu's cavalry will first be shot by their bows and arrows in several waves.

Shaharu had never seen a class in Central and West Asia armed with spears, big cards, and bows and arrows at the same time, and he was shocked.

Harino said again at this time: "Father-in-law, the Ming army does not pay attention to the rules and regulations when fighting, and it should be attacked halfway. ”

Shaharu glanced at him, shook his head, and didn't respond.

At this time, he lifted his horse and watched as he ran, following the wider and wider formation of the Ming army, while constantly looking southeast behind him.

From time to time, sentry horses from the southeast would come to the Ulugh Beg's side, usually reporting to the Ulugh Beg, how many rear troops had arrived.

And Shaharu has been trotting on the front line of the Ming army, and he saw that the first row of the front of the Ming army began, and as more and more people crossed the river, it slowly widened.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred.

It didn't take long for a long snake shape of about 500 people to form.

Shaharu counted clearly, and the front row of the Ming army was about 500 people.

When there were enough 500 people, all the Ming troops carried bows at the same time, lifted their spears and shields, and began to move a few steps forward, the whole action was almost exactly the same, a rhythm, and the scene was quite shocking.

When Shaharu was a teenager, he followed his father to fight in the east and west, fighting from Central Asia to West Asia, and from West Asia to Europe, and he had never seen such well-trained soldiers and horses, and he seemed to be more elite than when he encountered the Ming army during his expedition a few years ago.

Shaharu's face became more and more gloomy the more he looked at it, and he regretted the crusade even more.

At this time, the Ming army moved a few steps forward, and then crossed the river one after another, and when they came together to a column of 500 people, the two columns moved forward at the same time.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Ming army had already gathered ten columns, and about 5,000 men had crossed the river and pushed forward a long way, leaving enough space behind.

After the Ming army crossed the river, they all stood in place, and now the weather is suitable, neither hot nor cold, and the whole army formation does not move at all, as if it is made of steel.

Shaharu looked back at his horses and horses, the horses and men were dangling, and some people jumped off their horses and squatted on the ground, the scene was incomparable.

"Drive." Harino patted his horse again: "Father-in-law, let's fight, the Ming army is too elite to wait for them all to cross the river." ”

Shaharu's face was not good-looking, but he still did not speak.

"If you lose, you will lose your country." Harino shouted: "Is it worth it for the so-called glory?" Please think again. ”

Shaharu still didn't speak.

Harino said: "When we went east, the Ming army attacked in the middle of the night, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of my tribesmen, the Ming people never talked about martial virtues in wars, and they also tied explosives to our people, father-"

He screamed like he was going crazy, and his expression was quite hideous.

Shaharu looked at his almost deformed face and was finally moved.

Of course, what finally made him decide was that the Ming army was too elite.

"Allah will forgive me for my decision." He said silently in his heart, and then said sharply: "Fight." ”

"Wow." Harino was overjoyed, turned his horse's head wildly, and shouted at the soldiers and horses behind him.

Soon, the trumpets of Shaharu's army were blown, and the people jumped on their horses and took up their weapons.

They were already integrating their troops and horses, so the first wave of 10,000 elite horsemen was ready after a while.

This wave of people came from West Persia, with tall horses, crooked scimitars in their hands, and black scarves covering their faces, and they looked quite imposing.

Shahru's prancing horse was in front of the battle, and as he ran, he cried out: "The thieves kill our people, plunder our riches, and play with our women." ”

"The thief is shameless, and he doesn't talk about martial virtue in war."

"Allah above, this thief must be punished as he deserves."

"Brothers, please take up your long knives and swing them at our enemies—"

"Wow Roar" roared wildly at the scene, the sound was endless, and countless scimitars waved in the air.

Zheng, Shaharu drew his sword, pointed forward and roared: "Kill-Ming-thief." ”

"Kill." Tens of thousands of elites shouted wildly, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the earth.

In this era, the simplest and most direct tactics in Central and Western Asia began, and tens of thousands of elites rushed head-on.

At this time, the Ming army had just crossed the river with five or six thousand people, only a dozen platoons, and the farthest was about fifty steps away from the river.

Seeing Shaharu's elite rushing up, everyone picked up arrows and bows.

A group of officers walked out of the queue.

"Ready, get on the arrow."

The officers shouted, and the soldiers moved mechanically, with the bows still facing the ground as all the arrows lay flat on their bows.

Some officers looked back behind them.

There were still people crossing the river in the rear, but those who crossed the river were bending and trotting.

If Shaharu could see the situation on the other side behind the Ming army at this time, he would definitely be shocked.

Behind the five hundred Ming troops, one artillery cannon after another was pushed to the shore on the opposite bank, clinging to the back of the Ming army.

Some of the artillery has not yet been pushed into place, but the Ming army is pushing, and there are probably two platoons to the designated position, each row of about eighty guns.

Seeing the Shahru soldiers and horses charging, the artillerymen were methodically loading and loading.

The iron rider in front of him was rolling, and soon entered within five hundred paces.

At this time, Shaharu's cavalry began to slowly pick up speed.

The Ming army in front still didn't move, looking at them.

Four hundred steps.

Three hundred steps.

Two hundred steps.

The officers of the infantry battalion of the Ming army kept looking at the back, the artillery came up a little late, and the main front was full of infantry battalions and horses.

It is said that the cannon should have been fired at a distance of 500 paces from the enemy's cavalry.

One hundred and fifty steps.

"Draw the bow-——" the officer shouted.

Wow, all the Ming troops raised their bows at forty-five degrees and drew their bows.

At this time, the Ming army had about twelve platoons, about 6,000 people crossed the shore, and many people hurriedly arrived at the position and immediately drew their bows.

One hundred steps.

"Put." The officer shouted.

There was a strange sound, and more than six thousand arrows flew out.

The arrows of the Ming army would certainly not be able to shoot a hundred paces.

But Shaharu's elite cavalry had fully accelerated, and the arrows of the Ming army flew into the air, and they had already entered eighty paces.

Then it swished and rained down on their herd.

"Ahh

"Squat down in the front row." The Ming army shouted again.

Bang, the front three rows squatted down one after another, everyone's big shields were erected in front of them, and the body was slightly sideways with their shoulders and the left forearm that came over, plus their legs together.

Each of the Ming soldiers wore armor, with heavy armor on the left shoulder, soft cotton as a cushion, and heavy armor on the left arm.

All spears are in a forty-five degree forward.

The front three rows of spears, made of stainless steel, the front three rows of Ming Army, all of them are more than 1.75 meters, with a strong physique, strong and brave, and the big names in the front three rows are 20 centimeters higher than those in the back, and the front is wrapped in iron sheets.

This is the steel wall of the Ming army.

The Ming army marched west with a total of 60,000 infantry, and only 3,000 such elites.

Choose a person with high strength, the iron armor on his body is fifteen pounds heavier than other Ming troops, the shield is twenty centimeters high and weighs five pounds, and the spear is all made of stainless steel.

These people are tanks, which are placed in front to form a steel wall.
