Chapter 537: The Unsolved Ming Army

Starting from Shaharu's cavalry charge, the first half of the hour was almost passively beaten while moving the carts of the Ming army.

Shaharu had too many soldiers and horses, and his flood-like cavalry would not have been able to rush through it without moving the cart out of the huge gap.

The key Ming army cart was very heavy, and there were all kinds of things in it, including clothing, food, weapons, and even artillery shells.

While they dismounted and moved the carts, the artillery, flintlock pistols and bows and arrows of the Ming army did not stop.

No army can withstand the continuous attack of these three weapons.

The whole scene was like a massacre, there were constantly cavalry dismounting, pushing carts, and then falling to the ground, and some people dismounted, crossed the carts, rushed towards the Ming army, and still fell to the ground.

The Ming army's 5,000 carts surrounded them for five or six miles, forcing them to be surrounded by dense cavalry as infantry.

The people of Shaharu are either moving or climbing the car.

His eldest son, Ulugh Beg, saw that something was wrong, and immediately changed his order, telling the cavalry to rush up and leave the chariot alone, and climb over directly to use it as an infantryman.

If you go to move a car, you are equivalent to being a live target.

Only by rushing up at speed and hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army can we buy time for the back.

So the scene changed suddenly, many cavalry rushed out of the cart, jumped off the horse directly, and then climbed onto the cart, and the large force of elite cavalry was used as infantry.

When these people got over the cart, they were confronted by a neat line of flintlock musketeers.

It was a little difficult for the flintlock pistol to fight the cavalry in this era, and to fight the infantry was simply a harvest.

The Ming flintlock musketeers were about thirty paces away from the cart, which seemed to be a short distance, but these thirty paces were like a chasm, and no matter how Shaharu's soldiers and horses charged, they couldn't go up.

And if only flintlock muskezeers are easy to fight, the key Ming army bows and arrows are raining, and more than 60,000 people, regardless of foot and horse, each has a bow.

The Ming army's preparation is unprecedented, and there is no one who will come after.

You can shoot on foot, and you have a lot more bows and arrows than your opponent.

For about half an hour, Shaharu, who was standing in the distance, watched in horror as the Ming army's cart grew higher and higher, higher and higher.

What's higher than that?

All of them were Shaharu's fallen soldiers.

All the people who tried to climb over kept reversing in front of and behind the car.

A higher and higher wall was formed in front of the Ming army.

In the end, neither side could see each other, and the Ming army just had to wait there.

When you see someone climb to the top of the mountain, bang, look up with a shot or an arrow.

But at this time, Shaharu still had hope of victory, because his various cannons had quietly come to the front of the Ming army.

But whether it was a return artillery or a return artillery, the range was far inferior to that of the Ming army, so he was ordering these cannons to be pushed forward.

He attacked for nearly half an hour, with huge casualties, in exchange for Ming artillery.

During this time, the artillery of the Ming army became more and more rare, and it was obvious that it had been used to the extreme.

"Shoot, shoot." Shaharu gritted his teeth and ordered to speed up the artillery, he estimated that the artillery of the Ming army was no longer good, because it had been fought for too long.

But his cannon had just advanced within five hundred paces.

Boom, boom, boom, the Ming artillery roared loudly, and suddenly the artillery hit more fiercely, and a large number of shells were fired into their artillery group.

It turned out that Sheng Yong had already used a telescope to see that Shaharu had cannons, but Shaharu had never been cannoned, and Sheng Yong also collected and fought here, and many cannons were hidden and not used, just waiting for Shaharu's cannons to come up.

If there were no binoculars in this battle, and if you didn't see that Shaharu also had artillery first, when Shaharu's artillery came up, the Ming army's artillery would probably not be much used.

At that time, 70,000 Ming troops were crowded under the encirclement of 5,000 carts, densely packed, and were bombarded by Shaharu's artillery, and it was estimated that they would also collapse.

In this decisive battle between the Ming army and Shaharu, the telescope of the Ming Dynasty played a decisive role for the first time, and at the same time reminded Sheng Yong that he could not underestimate the enemy, and in the future war, the artillery could not come up and would be used to death, so he must be careful and careful.

The Ming army is now facing each other, encountering the opponent's few soldiers, directly swept with cavalry, encountering many soldiers, gathering a large number of soldiers and horses, defending as an attack, artillery, bows and arrows, flintlock guns, trinity, from far to near, basically no army under such a blow, can still rush to the front of the Ming army and the Ming army hand-to-hand combat.

Because Shaharu is full of cavalry, Sheng Yong lined up another car wall in front, the car wall can greatly reduce the speed and impact of the cavalry, if Shaharu uses infantry, Sheng Yong will not even use a big car.

Therefore, the tactics of Sheng Yong and the Ming army at this time are absolutely invincible in the world, and they are also incomprehensible, even if the Mongol and Houjin soldiers at their peak come over, they can only kneel.

Of course, the Mongol cavalry may have caused a little damage to the Ming army, but it was limited to that.

At this time, on the huge battlefield, there were almost no cavalry charging to be seen, and Shaharu did not give the order to stop the attack, but as their artillery was heavily damaged by the Ming army, the surrounding troops cowered.

The battle had reached this point, and they had already suffered such heavy casualties before they could rush into the Ming army's formation, and Shaharu knew that they had lost.

At this time, the adopted son Harino rushed over covered in blood: "The guns of the Ming army are limited, they can't be used too long, and they will get tired if they shoot too many bows and arrows, begging their father to give the order to beat the drums, and the whole army will go up again, the last chance-" He hissed and shouted, his face full of unwillingness.

Harino was just very brave, and personally led 5,000 men under his heart and men to rush to the south side, but he was bombarded within 500 paces, and was shot by arrows within 100 paces, and when he reached the cart, there were only 4,000 of the 5,000 men left.

He directly ordered everyone to abandon their horses and climb over the cart.

At that time, this section of the road could be called hell, and one was hit by a flintlock pistol when it went up, and one was beaten one by one when it went up.

finally climbed through the cart with dead and wounded, and there were more than 3,000 people left.

The subordinates of the fallen clansmen piled up the cart all around and raised it by more than ten centimeters.

Harino took the lead at that time, rushed forward with his heart and abdomen, and hit several arrows and two guns, but fortunately he didn't hit the vital point, and with his thick armor, he survived.

But his men were almost killed and wounded in the charge.

The Ming army was about thirty paces away from them, but the flintlock pistols and bows and arrows were met with a fierce blow, and his men immediately collapsed, and immediately turned around and ran again.

When you run back, you have to climb the car, and the Ming army fights slowly in the back, and many Ming troops do not use flintlock pistols, but shoot directly with arrows.

At this time, Harino found that many of the Ming army's guns were red and smoking, and some Ming soldiers threw away their flintlock pistols and picked up bows and arrows.

The archers of the Ming army were in a row, the first three rows shot a few rounds and then went back, the back three rows continued to shoot forward, and then the last three rows went up again, alternating in turns.

He luckily ran back and reminded Shaharu that the Ming army's guns were out of order, and the archers were resting.

Therefore, there is only one way to deal with the tactics of Sheng Yong and the Ming army at this time, and that is to fight a naval battle regardless of the dead and wounded.

If Shaharu still has an army of a million and takes turns rushing forward without being crushed, the Ming army's flintlock guns, bows and arrows, and artillery will soon lose their effectiveness, and then the two sides will enter hand-to-hand combat.

But Shaharu didn't have such a chance at all, almost when Harino and he complained that the Ming army couldn't do it.

"Wow roar" Suddenly the cheers of the Ming army came from the west side.

Then Shaharu and Harino turned their heads at the same time, and saw that the soldiers and horses of Shaharu on the west side were galloping wildly, and many people didn't even want horses, so they ran back.

I really couldn't withstand such casualties, I don't know who took the lead and ran first, and then the collapse began to spread to the entire battlefield, south, east, north, under the terrified eyes of Shaharu and Harino, and began to collapse in all directions.
