Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry charged in the same direction, this momentum not only made the elites of the Ming border army who should be indomitable make them uneasy, but even Zhu Su, who had been mentally prepared, had hair on his back at this moment, and he only felt that the back of his head was tight and his ears were numb.

In fact, the Mongol cavalry rarely charged in groups like this. They were mostly archers, and their best tactic was "riding and shooting", that is, shooting arrows on horseback while galloping on horseback.

This tactic is extremely difficult, in the past when the Mongol Yuan iron cavalry dominated the world, similar examples often occurred: a certain army should have an advantage in fighting with the Mongols, in order to expand the results of the pursuit of the pursuit, but the Mongol archers ran and shot, shooting and shooting, and gradually changed the shape of the attack and defense, but the Mongols turned around and chased and ran.

In later generations, there was a word that described this method of the Mongols as particularly apt, and its name was: "kite flying".

When outflanking the Ming army of Guo Xingbu in front, these Mongolian cavalry also adopted the tactics of cavalry and archery, and did not fight with the Ming army in close combat, but constantly used bows and arrows to slowly delay the flesh and blood of the Ming army.

But when facing Zhu Su, perhaps because Zhu Su's army did not have many soldiers and horses, the commanders of these cavalry had a mentality of despising the enemy; Or maybe it's because the two banners of "King Wu" and "King Yan" erected high are too tempting. In short, after a round of projectiles, this part of the cavalry did not choose to use the cavalry tactics that the Mongol cavalry was best at, but tried in vain to fight a quick victory, determined to directly defeat Zhu Su, the "lost lamb who strayed into the battlefield", with a numerical advantage.

And this is also giving Zhu Su a chance!

"Firebolt, let's go!"

With Zhu Su's hoarse roar, the first row of Wu Wangwei, who had been waiting for a long time on the hillside with fire guns, directly released the fire guns that they had been aiming at for a long time in their hands. In an instant, the sound of "bang bang bang" even overshadowed the momentum of tens of thousands of horse troops galloping together, and a burst of choking smoke rose in the Ming army formation.

"Ahh The Mongol cavalry in the first row fell from their horses as if they had suffered some heavy blow. In the cavalry formation, a burst of people suddenly turned on their backs. The momentum of the charge of the entire cavalry team could not help but stagnate.

"That's a long range, what kind of firebolt is this?" The leader of this cavalry, named Tabin Timur, saw that the warriors in the front row were hit one after another, and he pulled the reins of his horse, and was a little stunned for a moment.

As a tribal leader of the Great Yuan, Tabin Timur was not unaware of firearms. At this time, the Ming army also had a decent number of firearms troops, although it was not as special as the "Shenji Battalion" in the later Yongle period, but the power of the Hongwu firearms, the Yuan army had already seen it when Xu Da often swept the north in the spring.

However, the range of Hongwu firecrackers is very short, and most of the shots are "guns", that is, a kind of arrows dedicated to firearms are placed at the mouth of the gun, and the power of gunpowder is used to push them out.

But now the Ming army's firearms not only shot at an astonishing distance of more than 200 paces, but also shot not arrows, but terrifying lead pellets.

And unlike ordinary lead shots, the lead shots shot out by these fire guns are so powerful that they are extremely terrifying! Tabin Timur saw with his own eyes that several war horses were smashed into pieces because they were hit by lead pellets!

Not to mention the flesh and blood that are just in leather armor!

"Don't stop! The firebolt can only shoot once in a short time! Warriors! You are all blessed by the Immortal Heaven! ”

Although he was surprised, he didn't have time to think about it in the battle array, and seeing that the cavalry's momentum was blocked, Tabin Timur, who was the main general, hurriedly raised his arms and shouted.

As soon as he reminded them, the cavalrymen reacted. As soldiers of the Yuan court, they all know what the biggest drawback of this bell-and-whistle Central Plains weapon is: that is, the rate of fire is too slow, and often in a battle, they only have time to shoot once.

Fang Cai, although he was momentarily panicked by this powerful new type of firearm, but so what? As long as the rate of fire of this firearm does not change much, with their crotch war horses, they will soon be able to rush in front of this Ming army.

"Rush! Immortal Heaven protects me! This long list of psychological changes is actually only a moment in reality. The Mongol cavalry only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly reacted. They stepped over the corpses of their fallen comrades in the front row and continued to charge towards the smoky Ming formation.

"Bang bang bang!"

However, to everyone's expectations, in the smoke that had not yet dissipated from the Ming army's formation, there was a nightmare-like sparkling fire, followed by a row of lead bullets swept in, and the cavalry who had just topped the front row suddenly fell to the ground again.

"Shi......" Tabin Timur was stunned!

How can it be! The Ming army was able to shoot a second shot so quickly?

His surprise was yet to come. The second wave of smoke had not yet cleared, and the sound of the gunshots seemed to still echo in the eardrums, followed by the third gunshot, then the fourth, and then the fifth......

"Bang bang ......"

As if there was no interval at all, the sound of fried beans continued to explode in this place, and the advancing Mongolian cavalry seemed to have become the onions (that is, onions, which were introduced to China through "Zhang Qian's strict selection" in the Western Han Dynasty) in the hands of the cook, and were constantly peeled off layer by layer and layer by layer by the strange firearms in the hands of the Ming army.

"This ...... How can it be! How can it be! ”

Tabin Timur was already standing still.

……

"Ahem, ahem, the next team is coming forward! Fast! "In the Ming army, Zhu Su personally commanded the firecrackers. Behind him, the musketeers standing on the dirt slope were on a rampage, and after firing a shot in front of him, they immediately bowed backwards. The next row of prepared ones is immediately put on top and hands up.

Several rows of Ming troops, like an orderly machine's tracks, kept pouring lead pellets on the cavalry on this dirt slope.

That's right, this is exactly what Zhu Su had said to Zhu Di before, Wu Wangwei has another killing move that he has trained for several years in addition to the Mandarin Duck Array, which should have been invented from Mu Ying's musket burst technique: three-stage strike!

In order to ensure the continuity and intensity of firepower, Zhu Su lined up these Ming troops into six platoons. Rao was like this, looking at the approaching Mongolian iron horsemen, Zhu Su still felt a little frightened.

"Hey, firepower, firepower! The firepower is still not enough! Zhu Su, who had beads of sweat on his forehead, felt that he was a patient suffering from a phobia of insufficient firepower.
