The wind was howling in his ears, and Amin's head was still very chaotic, and he couldn't figure out the clue of failure. In other words, there are many reasons for failure, and he can't tell which one is the most deadly.

5,000 elite cavalry against 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, although the strength is not superior, Amin has full certainty of victory. He even felt that three thousand elite horsemen could defeat the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the dense and continuous musket fire caught the Dajin cavalry off guard.

As a commander, Amin had observed the battlefield. The raised meadow was like a, and the distance from the river was so short that there were not many ambushes to hide, let alone cavalry.

It was a mistake of judgment on the part of Amin who did not expect the Ming musketeers to hide there, just as he did not expect the Ming army to join forces with the Mongols.

If it was just an accident, the battle would not be out of control. What shocked Amin even more was that the Ming army not only had musketeers, but also an elite cavalry hidden.

Amin could naturally see that the riding skills of the naturalized cavalry were not ordinary, but the tactics used by the naturalized cavalry were the most dumbfounded and unbelievable.

Cavalry charge, Amin has been in a hundred battles, how can he not see it? But the horizontal push of the Ming army's dense formation was the first time he had seen it in his life.

It was this tactic that made him feel strange and strange at first, but defeated his own cavalry in actual combat, which eventually led to a sharp turn in the tide of battle.

Although the number of your own cavalry was smaller than that of your opponent in that battle, the difference was not so great. According to the total strength estimate, the 5,000 elite cavalry in his hands will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent's more than 10,000 horses.

It was that battle that made Amin doubt and waver. From believing that he would win, to feeling that he would lose, the psychological gap made him hesitate, and there was a short period of time when he was at a loss.

It was only when the Mongol army, with superior forces, won the siege, and when the men and horses he sent were exhausted by the Ming army several times, Amin came to his senses and led his troops to retreat.

The Mongolian army still has thousands of men and horses that have not moved, and the Ming army also has enough strength to resist the 2,000 Houjin cavalry.

Even if the Houjin cavalry is brave and can fight two or three of them, but fighting all the five thousand elite cavalry is by no means what Amin wants to achieve.

Moreover, he did not know the true purpose of this Han-Mongolian coalition army. Whether it is to rush to himself, or to make a detour to attack the ruling area of Houjin.

If he can retreat with 2,000 men and horses, he can at least play a role in holding back the enemy, and report to the king of Khan in an urgent manner, and respond in time.

Although the loss of more than half of the men and horses was heartbreaking to Amin, he was not yet at the point of despair.

It's just that the accident is far from over, which Amin never expected. The Han and Mongol coalition forces did not just want to defeat him and the 5,000 cavalry, but the goal was to be completely annihilated.

Only a thousand dragoons appeared on the battlefield, and what about the other half? And the two or three hundred people who accompanied the baggage convoy, including the hundreds of thunderbolts they brought?

Amin didn't know this information, but suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked their retreating enemy forces. It was only then that he finally knew the true strength of the enemy, and the death situation that was laid against him.

Hongquan, where Amin led his troops to defeat the Zarut tribe. Now, of course, it seems that this is just a deception to lure him deeper.

Moreover, the Houjin army patronized the battle with the Zalut Division, and the scope of reconnaissance was not large, and this hidden Ming army was not found.

Now, the mistake makes it highly likely that this will be the burial place of Amin and his troops.

At the bend of the avenue, the Ming army had already dug trenches and fortifications, and a thousand dragoons were waiting for them. Dozens of projectiles are also loaded with thunderbolts, ready to fire to bombard the enemy.

The advantage of a grenadier is that it is easy to build, and even without a qualified craftsman, a simpler projectile can be made from felled trees, branches, and ropes.

When the platoon gun rang out, Amin was in the rear. The Han and Mongol forces were in hot pursuit, and he had to hold the battle so as not to be overwhelmed.

In ancient warfare, the striker was important, but the defender was also valued. Especially when retreating, the rearguard is often elite, either fending off the pursuers, or counterattacking the enemy.

But after the gunfire roared and the explosions continued to sound, Amin could not help but rush to the front and personally direct the battle.

If you want to make a detour, it's too late, or break through the resistance in front of you and take the road; Either turn back and fight the pursuer, repelling or defeating the enemy with superior forces.

Amin's heart sank, and after quickly weighing and assessing, he made the choice to take the road. Not only were there a large number of pursuers behind him, but the strange horizontal charge made him have little confidence.

Boom, boom, boom...... In the face of Jiannu's attack, the Ming army used improvised catapults to project thunderbolts at the enemy regardless of the cost.

As long as you stop the Nu, the pursuing allies will deal a fatal blow. The longer you hold out, the greater your certainty of total annihilation.

The purpose of the Ming army's operation has been clear, and in the face of the frenzied attack of Jiannu, no matter what, to block the enemy, saving ammunition is not so important.

Because there was not enough time, the positions built by the Ming army were not so easy to defend and difficult to attack. This also gave Amin hope, not to mention the advantage in troops.

But the Houjin army also had its own difficulties, one was that the pursuers were approaching, and the rearguard had to resist the attack; Another unfavorable factor is that the battlefield is relatively narrow, and the superiority in troops cannot be fully brought into play.

Both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the decisive battle of breakthrough and blocking began, bloody and fierce.

Arrows rained down and bullets flew like locusts, and both sides exerted all their strength, firing with full firepower, without reservation.

"Kill, kill, kill!" The Houjin officer waved his sword and howled, urging the soldiers to only advance and not retreat, the front fell, and the back stepped on the blood and corpses to continue to move forward, without stopping, and continued to attack.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The muskets of the Ming army were fired in waves, all relying on the speed of the flintlock pistols, forming a continuous rain of bullets.

The barrier ditch dug in a hurry was quickly filled with obstacles and corpses due to the lack of depth and width, and Jiannu rushed up again with a shield and a knife.

Boom, boom, boom....... it was another thunderbolt, and the distance between the two sides was less than 50 meters, and they could see their faces clearly.

The main position of the Ming army was a gentle slope, which was somewhat condescending. In this way, three rows of musketeers more than ten meters apart were able to fire at the same time without being hindered by their teammates in front.

On the left side of the main position, two hundred musketeers, without fortifications, had to be covered by trees.

Such an arrangement allows more muskets to fire at the enemy at the same time, forming a certain flank attack.

But this was not the worst, when Jiannu rushed to more than thirty meters regardless of casualties, the first row of musketeers shouted and raised their bayonets, jumped out of the trench, and launched a fierce counter-charge.

The second platoon of musketeers moved forward and occupied the first line of trench fortifications; The musketeers of the third platoon and the rear line moved forward in turn, forming three columns of fire again.

Swords and spears collided together, and the soldiers of both sides roared and began to fight. The battle of cold weapons is cruel and bloody, and it is a cruel fight to the death.

The drums of war were still rumbling, but it was no longer clear which side was beating. The soldiers didn't bother to listen, they just stared at the enemy in front of them, shouting and slashing.

The musket was still ringing, the muzzle was slightly raised, and the buckshot flew past the fighting comrades and poured down on the enemy. The musketeers on the flanks also stretched out their muskets from behind the trees and fired lead bullets at the enemy diagonally.

The ground was already covered with blood and corpses, and even if you were injured and fell to the ground, it meant that there was no chance to get up again.

The last batch of thunderbolts were projected over, and dozens of explosions occurred one after another, causing chaos to Jiannu and curbing the momentum of his attack.

The gunfire rang out even more violently, but in the direction of the rear.

Amin looked back, and although he couldn't see anything, his pupils shrank, and an ominous feeling rose from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.

The shouts of killing became louder and louder, and the rear team was trying their best to resist, and the enemy's strength had an absolute advantage, and Amin knew this clearly.

"Lord Belle, the minion will take someone to the rear team." The loyal Niu Lu Ezhen Hadashuo took the initiative to step forward and share the worries of his master.

Amin stared for a moment and nodded vigorously. Without superfluous words, it is impossible for a Niu Lu of Hadashuo to repel the enemy, only to delay time, and his life and death are already sealed.

And Amin's fate is also irrevocable, on the opposite side is a thousand Ming army dragoons, he led only more than 2,000 horses, excluding the rearguard, can be put into a assault charge, not much more than the Ming army.

The Ming army's resistance has both the support of the position, the advantage of the musket, and the power of thunder, as long as the dare to fight and do not retreat, Jiannu wants to break through the blockade, the possibility is not great.

Therefore, although the battle was fierce and the fighting was bloody and cruel, the Ming army did not use the whole army, and there was still room for replenishment.

Of course, the Ming army didn't know how many Jiannu would be defeated and retreated. They are prepared to deal with the most unfavorable situation of one enemy and five enemies with the belief that they will not retreat from fighting to the death.

Jiannu's rear team, although they are all elites, is also extremely brave and brave. But in the face of the rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun, the muskets that fired head-on, and the surging enemies, they also showed their weakness and retreated step by step.

"Kill, kill, kill...... knowing that the friendly army is fighting a bloody battle, the Ming musketeers dismounted and entered the battle, shooting muskets and bayonets, and launching a fierce attack on the enemy.

They were followed by the naturalized cavalry, dismounted and fighting on foot, holding their sabers high and shouting to kill them.

The Mongol coalition forces deployed their bows and arrows in the back, killing and wounding the enemy with arrows as dense as raindrops, providing fire support for the Ming army.

Jiannu, who acted as a defender, also knew that the responsibility was heavy, and he mustered up his courage and fought desperately.

Soldiers on both sides kept falling, and it was difficult for both the corpses and the wounded to get up again. The tragic battle makes people's hearts shake, as if they are in the Shura slaughterhouse.

When Niu Lu Ezhen Hadashuo led his subordinates to arrive, the defenders were already in danger. Under the onslaught of superior enemies, the line is about to collapse.

The musket fire continued, row after row, bursting with blood in the Houjin army. The distance of tens of meters made it impossible for heavy armor to withstand such a close-range burst of lead bullets.

The arrows thrown from the heads of the Ming army were densely packed, and the large number of Mongol coalition troops were replaced by a group of archers, replacing soldiers with sore arms.

Although the bow and arrow can withstand long-range fire support, the archer's physical strength is limited, and after shooting a dozen arrows with all his strength, his arm will be numb, and the arrows he shoots will become weak.

The number of Jiannu was the biggest drawback, but the Mongol coalition army was able to constantly change people to maintain the strength and lethality of the arrows.

What's more, the musketeers of the Ming army, which was more labor-saving and did not have to be replaced, were able to shoot continuously, occupying an overwhelming advantage in overall firepower.

Of course, the Ming army continued to pay casualties, but it still maintained a strong fighting spirit.

Without him, these musketeers had participated in at least one actual battle. Whether it was the defense of Quang Ninh or the defensive battle of Ninh Ninh, they had already undergone tests in terms of psychological quality and combat experience.

Faced with such a situation, Hadashuo immediately commanded the post to join the battle group, and there was no way to retreat, but let them burst out with the courage to strike a desperate blow.

The soldiers in front fell, and those behind stepped forward a few steps to fill the gap, and under the command of Hadasho, launched a fierce counterattack.

This charge achieved a certain goal, at least the pace of the Ming army's advance was paused, and a melee began with the Ming army in front.

Hadashuo took the lead, and the big sword danced like flying, and he slashed and injured several Ming soldiers one after another. The guards beside him were also fierce and fierce, and they fought forward with him.

With his desperate bravery, Hadashi seems to have achieved his goal of stopping the enemy. However, such momentum and counterattack are difficult to sustain when the enemy forces are superior.

"Charge, kill!" Hadasho roared frantically, brandishing the broadsword in his hand as he fought in a hopeless battle.

Defeat the enemy in front of you, make them rout and flee, and charge the enemy behind you, forming a chain reaction that will cause the enemy to collapse completely.

Although there were many such examples in ancient wars, the counterattack commanded by Hadashuo was unfortunately not among them.

The front row of the Ming army in the melee was suddenly empty, and the first few rows of Ming troops who fell into the melee had been killed and wounded, but Hadashuo did not see the Ming army fleeing.

Three rows of Ming musketeers lined up closely, kneeling, crouching, and standing, and the muzzles of countless black holes pointed at Jiannu.

Before Hadashi could react, a shrill whistle was followed by countless flashes of fire. Dense buckshot swept in, and thick white smoke rose up.

It was a ferocious blow, a dense stream of buckshot like a cannon spewing out of a shotgun... bullet, almost swept away the most ferocious Jiannu in front.

"Coward, coward......" With a look of great unwillingness, Hadashuo's eyes widened, and he still maintained the posture of raising his knife forward, but he could only let out a silent curse from his heart, and fell to the ground as heavy as a log.

It's not just the warriors who fight face-to-face, otherwise they don't have to equip their troops with muskets.

Backward in thought and backward in science and technology, failure is inevitable, and this law has finally been correctly interpreted in the Mingjin War.
