Shaharu's army slowly retreated towards Jalalabad, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to cross the river, while the Ming army in front was quite ferocious, leaving almost no survivors, and all the wounded on the battlefield were killed one by one.

All the Shaharu troops were watching what the Ming army was doing, which had an extremely shocking effect.

Because this will not be so cruel on the side of Central Asia and West Asia, after everyone divides the victory and defeat, the surrendering side will either become a vassal army or a slave, and the Ming army will almost reproduce the ferocity of Meng Yuan back then, leaving no life on the battlefield.

When their army retreated into the city of Jalalabad, many generals gathered together to discuss.

The Timurid Empire was not of the same bloodline as the Ming and Han dynasties, and their country was condensed by the two generations of Shahru's grandfather and father, conquering various places one by one, and its core was the Mongols and Turkic Mongols, and then there were the Karakhitans, the Afhans, the Hezhong, the Persians, and even the Kangli and Turkmens.

After experiencing the fiasco of the Ming Dynasty in the Eastern Expedition, there have been many places that have been separated and disintegrated, and now seeing the ferocity of the Ming army again, many people are beginning to be afraid.

At this time, the Ming army was still crossing the river, and once the whole army crossed the river, it was inevitable to launch an attack on them.

Several of the generals of the Rivermen and the Afghans finally took the lead in coming to Shahru's side and asked for a retreat to Samarkand.

Shaharu was furious: "What if the Ming army continues to advance on Samarkand? ”

Everyone was speechless, and Shaharu said: "Now that we have hundreds of thousands of troops in a group, we can still fight, if we separate, the Ming army can be broken separately, which of you can resist the Ming army alone?" ”

The crowd was silent again.

When Shaharu saw this, he said loudly: "Pull the Ming army out, wait for the whole Ming army to cross the river, pull them out to fight, and we will attack from all sides." ”

There is humanity, the Ming army may have its back to the Kabul River, and we will not be given the opportunity to encircle the Ming army.

There is also humanity, when we fought like this in the Ming Kingdom, the Ming army surrounded the carriage and was unbreakable.

Shaharu said, it was that year, it was an expedition, this time we were prepared, don't think we don't have artillery.

It turned out that Shahru also brought artillery from Kabul and other places.

But their artillery is varied, basically the old style of artillery in the early Ming Dynasty, and even the Huihui cannon of the Yuan and Mongolian periods.

In Shaharu's opinion, this is enough, in today's battle, he hid all kinds of artillery and did not come out, and when he decided tomorrow, he would take it by surprise and break the Ming army.

When everyone heard that they also had cannons, they finally had some confidence.

Then Shaharu assigned tasks to prepare for a decisive battle with the Ming army.

He wanted to see if the Ming army would pull out, or if it would always have its back to the Kabul River.

But the Ming army had just won a big victory, and it was more courageous.

On the same day, the whole army of the Ming army crossed the river, did not attack again, but camped by the river, the two armies were fine that night, and so early the next morning, the Ming army sounded the assembly call early, and then 70,000 Ming troops, pushing 5,000 vehicles, 300 guns began to move westward.

Shaharu was overjoyed, knowing that there was no one in the eyes of the Ming army, and this was an opportunity.

He waited for the Ming army to approach Jalalabad.

By noon, the main force of the Ming army was ten miles away from the Kabul River and approaching within twenty miles of Jalalabad.

When Shaharu received the news, he immediately gathered his troops and went out of the city again, and the two armies met fifteen miles away from Jalalabad.

Shaharu took the time to walk this time, and just walked to the middle of the Buni Plain, which is seven or eight miles wide at its widest point, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be placed on the same line, which is very suitable for the side with many soldiers.

Seeing the advance of the Ming army entering the plain, he didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, his eldest son Ulubo personally led 100,000 cavalry to line up in several long columns, ready to attack the Ming army head-on.

Shahru's army jogged all the way, and their 100,000 were gathered together, and they were slowly turning into a cavalry queue of 5,000 horsemen each, a total of 20 columns.

In addition to being able to pull out a few miles of battle line from the front, it can also reduce the density of the column, so that it is impossible to block the cavalry behind after their own cavalry falls to the ground.

Today's battlefield is much better than yesterday's, and the battlefield is quite wide, suitable for the side with more soldiers and horses.

The lethality of the artillery of the Ming army will also be greatly reduced in such a wide battlefield.

"Woo" With the sound of a loud horn, two streams of elite cavalry rushed out on the left and right flanks of Shaharu, sweeping towards the two wings of the Ming army.

The scene was quite loud, and after yesterday's assembly and preparations, Shaharu's 300,000-strong army had arrived and spread over the huge battlefield.

In comparison, the Ming army's 70,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 100,000 horses and 5,000 vehicles, add up to a relatively small amount.

As soon as Shaharu attacked, Sheng Yong knew what he was thinking.

It is clear that he wants to take advantage of the terrain and expand the battlefield.

But Sheng Yong didn't need to be led by his nose.

You have 5,000 cavalry in each column, and if one cavalry occupies an area of four or five meters wide, the battlefield is almost two or three miles wide.

If the Ming army is led by the nose, it will also put on the same battlefield.

You can only stand a few columns for two or three miles, and then it's gone.

You beat yours, I beat mine, this is what Sheng Yong is best at.

He stood in the middle of the formation, calmly giving orders, and ordered one order after another to go down quickly.

At the same time, he took Qu Neng and others to a high place.

The terrain is higher here, the artillery of the infantry battalion is nearby, and there are several large carts that have been pushed here, and the carts are piled up with things on them, which look taller.

Sheng Yong and Qu Neng helped each other, stood on the cart together, and suddenly became condescending.

Then the two took out their binoculars.

That's right, Qu Neng has already brought hundreds of binoculars from Jingshi this time.

Sheng Yong opened the binoculars and looked at the other side, slowly forming a formation.

After a while, he said, "Regardless of them, we are still in front of the infantry, five hundred men in each column-"

Sheng Yong's order was quickly sent down to all departments.

He had eight thousand flintlock musketeers in his hands, five hundred and one rows, sixteen rows.

Front (west) four rows, north four rows, south four rows, ventral dorsal (east) four rows.

All flintlock pistols were preceded by carts, and five thousand carts were in a circle as before.

The flint-gunners were thirty paces behind the car, behind the gunners were the archers (pikemen), and in the center were the artillerymen.

The cavalry dismounted, armed with bows and arrows, behind the bows.

The army of 70,000 was in the middle of 5,000 carts, and this time there were many soldiers and horses, so there was a gap between the carts, otherwise there would not be so many people.

As soon as the Ming army came out, Shaharu was about to vomit blood.

The Ming people have no martial virtue in war.

His cavalry was discharged for two or three miles, and he originally thought that the Ming army would also line up to meet him.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army used more than 1,000 vehicles on each side to pull it up, and then the Ming army was behind the car.

More than a thousand vehicles were about five or six miles long, longer than their cavalry.

The point is that the front is full of cars, and the back of the car is people.

Rushed all the way, first shelled, then shot by bows and arrows.

Finally, in the face of casualties, when more than 100,000 cavalry rushed to the cart, the cavalry slowed down, and then dismounted and went to push the cart.

Someone jumped directly into the car and overturned.

"Bang bang bang" The Ming army's flintlock pistol rang out.

Shaharu's army fell to the ground everywhere, crawling behind in an endless stream, and some pushed away the carts to form a gap.

But at this time, whether your cavalry is three miles long or two miles long, it will push the gap open only a few steps, or even a dozen steps.

A large number of horsemen will enter through this gap.

The battlefield was quite chaotic, and Shahru's men were pushing carts everywhere, and then found that some of the carts had Ming military iron rods nailed to the ground under them, which was quite laborious.

And the Ming army's flintlock pistols kept ringing, and the bows and arrows kept shooting.

This is not a war, this is a massacre, Shaharu only watched it for a while, and he felt like he was going to vomit blood.
