Five hundred horses tied with yellow powder were getting closer and closer to the cavalry of the Mongol Levin Division.

The cavalry of the Mongolzin tribe were skilled in bow shooting, and when they realized that something was wrong, they immediately began to bend their bows and shoot at the horses that rushed in front of them.

However, the head and front of the horse are heavily armoured, and it is not something that ordinary bows and arrows can shoot through, but there are still horses that respond to the end.

"Boom!"

When a horse exploded about a hundred paces away from the cavalry of the Mongol Detachment...... It may be that the lead is too short, or it may be that the person who lit the fire is in a hurry to evacuate and ignite the lead early...... Anyway, the explosion happened in advance.

After the explosion, the cavalry of the Mongol Detachment instantly realized what kind of tactic this was.

Don't play with artillery long-distance delivery, change the horse to send the fast post, and stuff it directly in front of you.

Faced with a pile of moving explosives that were about to explode and could blow people and horses to pieces at any time, the cavalry of the Menggol Levin Division, who rushed to the front, felt a kind of despair in their hearts.

I opened my eyes again......

It was impossible for the horses rushing in front to stop in the reins, but those who were rushing in front were not stupid, and they tried their best to avoid the five hundred horses that Kai Daming rushed at them.

But after all, time was short, there was not much time left for them to dodge, and only a few cavalry could open a certain direction on their sides.

While the cavalry of the Menggol Jin Division was in the midst of archery, they were still rushed by more than 400 Ming mobile explosive packs, and the two sides met in an instant......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Explosions rang out one after another.

This scene will make the cavalry in the rear of the Menggol Jin cavalry unforgettable, and at the same time, it will also have a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

Obviously, there are still three miles away from the Ming Dynasty's position, and it is clear that the Ming expeditionary force does not have such a long-range artillery, just because their own side has charged, it was originally to meet the frontal cavalry, and the horseback is higher than the other...... But the Ming cavalry didn't talk about martial virtues, so they threw the horse over and ran away by themselves......

Then we're going to be blown off our arms and blood all over the place...... What is this called?

……

……

In the high terrain of the hillside, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty saw the scene under the hillside, which also opened their eyes.

It turns out that the mighty heavenly gunpowder still has this kind of use!

After that, if the Tatars dare to attack the camp head-on, they will do the same thing, and tie the heavenly gunpowder to the back of the horse, or the ox cart, and let you throw yourself into the net, and then the advantage of your steppe cavalry will no longer be an advantage.

"It's ......"

Cao Shun originally picked his nose and eyes at Wang Shouren, but when he saw this scene, he had to accept it.

Although five hundred horses were sacrificed...... But that's not a problem.

This time, more than 4,000 horses were captured by the Mongoljin Division, which is very strong!

Wang Shouren immediately poured a basin of cold water on Cao Shun's head: "Except for the gunpowder that was buried last night and the one sent out today, there is no one left. ”

“……”

Cao Shun was speechless when he heard this.

He glared at Wang Shouren and said in his heart, you deliberately embarrassed me, right?

Feelings, you are a hammer deal, if you blow it up or not, there will be no next time anyway?

He looked up again at the cavalry charge of the Menggoljin Division, although due to the previous tactics of the unbridled wild horse explosives package, the explosion and paralysis of at least a few hundred cavalry of the other side, but it only caused the opponent to lose the vitality of several hundred cavalry, compared to the formation of the four or five thousand cavalry of the Menggoljin Division, this loss has not yet reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones.

Five hundred horses that no one controls can only take away less than twice as many of the Menggol Jinbu cavalry, which is a pity in Cao Shun's opinion.

But Wang Shouren was very content.

Before the battle, nearly 20% of the opponent's men and horses were folded, and the opponent's momentum would inevitably be weakened, and his own side still had more than 2,000 cavalry, with artillery, this battle would definitely be fought.

"Artillery ready, cavalry ready!"

Wang Shouren raised the order flag.

With the other party less than three miles away from their own camp, a close fight seemed to be in sight again.

"It's time to rush!"

Cao Shun was very nervous beside him, seeing that the cavalry of Menggol Lejin had already killed less than two miles away from the front-line soldiers, if he didn't charge again, the other party would soon cross the position and kill him.

But Wang Shouren just set the cavalry formation away, but he was not in a hurry to charge with cavalry.

"Fire!"

Wang Shouren was not in a hurry.

After the command flag in his hand fell, Daming's artillery fired five cannons at a time, and fired the cannonballs in a condescending manner.

"Bang ......"

With the shells lifted into the air.

Cao Shun and other people who don't know much about the mechanism of artillery didn't understand why Wang Shouren was in such a hurry to fire the cannon this time, didn't he say that there was only a one-mile range?

After the shells fell, they found that the distance they shot out was not more than one mile, this was because they were on high ground, and if they threw them in a parabolic line, how could they extend the firing range by a certain amount, and the purpose of these five guns was not to directly kill and injure the opponent's cavalry, but to ...... Ignite the explosives planted last night on the ground.

"Boom!"

The five shells are all flowering cannons, and after they land, they form an explosion in situ, because the caliber is small, and the direct coverage area of the shells is not large, and most of the shells only have a small in-situ explosion after landing, but one of them has an explosion that is very obvious.

That power...... The people of the artillery regiment of the Daming Expeditionary Force couldn't help but think of the heavy artillery that Zhang Zhou had tested before.

In fact, it was because this shell hit the yellow powder planted on the hillside......

What's more.

Because the burial of these yellow powders is done in proportion to a certain distance, this explosion does not matter, it directly forms a domino effect, and an explosion implicates an explosion.

Previously, he charged with horses and explosives bags, and had just taught a lesson to the Ming soldiers and the cavalry of the Menggoljin Division, and then the second lesson came immediately.

In front of me is a scene that everyone who witnessed this battle will never forget.

I saw that more than a mile away in front of Da Ming, a chain explosion reaction was formed, about a mile long and a mile wide, and in an instant, explosions came and went, and in the midst of the fire, all kinds of horses were directly killed and blown away.

The cavalry of the Menggol Levin Division felt like they were riding a roller coaster, many of them were heavy armor, and they were blown up to the sky, and then the armor on their bodies was like a stuffy jar at this time, and they were trapped in the jar and fell heavily to the ground...... Before they died, they didn't understand how they went to heaven, and why did they still have the opportunity to be birds once in their lives?

……

……

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of explosions was endless, and this tragic scene, not to mention the cavalry side of the Menggol Jinbu Division, even the Ming soldiers on the hill looked a little worried.

In addition to the soldiers of Xuanfu, they are from Beijing, and they have only heard that Wang Yue is playing tricks in the partial pass, blowing up the city pass, and many people don't even believe it in their hearts, can they be so awesome?

Only now that they saw it with their own eyes, did they understand that the power of this mighty heavenly gunpowder was about to blow up ordinary city walls, and that was like a joke.

"Kill!"

Seeing that the position a mile away in front of him had been blown up to the potholes, and the horses, stumps, flesh and blood, and scattered armor of the Menggol Jin's cavalry were scattered all over the place, Wang Shouren was no longer polite.

You sent 5,000 cavalry from the Menggoljin Division, twice the number of our soldiers and horses, are you awesome?

Didn't I blow up half of it in two rounds?

Now I ask you if you dare to fight?

Wang Shouren then ordered the charge.

Old tactics.

A long snake cavalry formation, no thickness, as long as the width, what you want is to wrap it directly like a big net, the arquebus and fire gun in the hand to open the way, and then the bow and arrow and sabre.

The cavalry of the Menggol Jin Division at the foot of the mountain had just come out of the shadow of the explosion in the area, and many people were still in shock, not to mention that the momentum of the charge had slowed down, and now they all stopped directly, but when they saw the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, they rushed down from the mountain.

There are probably less than 3,000 cavalry left, and this time they will not engage the Ming soldiers and horses, even if the number of soldiers and horses is still above the Ming side, how can they still have the heart to meet the enemy head-on?

The cavalry of the Menggol Sect of about 3,000 turned into a rear formation to cover behind the palace, ignoring those comrades of the same clan who were still wailing on the ground, and turned around and ran.

How fierce it was when they charged, how embarrassing it was when they fled, and many soldiers even threw away their armor in order to run faster.

……

……

Wang Shouren personally led the cavalry to the foot of the mountain about four or five miles, and did not pursue the cavalry of the Menggoljin cavalry who fled.

But he did not give the order to continue the pursuit, but only asked the officers and men of the three armies to clean up the battlefield, that is, to take the remaining cavalry of the Menggol Ring Division on the battlefield, as well as those who were half dead, go up to mend their swords, harvest the heads, and then return to the mountain.

It's not that Wang Shouren doesn't want to chase.

It is because the cavalry of the Menggol Jin Department did not only rush up to about 5,000 pioneers, but also at least 4,000 or 5,000 cavalry on the other side.

The other party also charged in batches, but the other party didn't expect to rush to the top of the Ming Mountain, obviously there were only more than 2,000 horses on the Ming side, but they could make them suffer such heavy losses...... This time, the artillery was almost completely invisible, and it was all the power of mighty gunpowder.

The soldiers of the Mongol Sect seemed to be aware.

This mighty heavenly gunpowder seems to be specially designed for our Patriarch Fire Sieve to restrain our Menggol Jin Division, right?

Otherwise, why did this gunpowder only knock on us to mutilate, the number of our clansmen who died under the explosion of this gunpowder alone has exceeded five or six thousand, and all kinds of tactics around this gunpowder are really endless.

……

……

In the end, the cavalry of the Menggol Levin Division is a brave and warlike cavalry regiment on the steppe, second only to the Dayan Division, or ...... Even the cavalry of the Dayan tribe may not be as powerful as them.

Even though they had experienced the brutal explosion before, their vanguard retreated and regained their position by combining forces.

After harvesting the battlefield, the Ming side also returned to the mountain under Wang Shouren's order, and returned to the fortifications built by their own camp.

The Ming soldiers are like triumphant.

Now they are no longer obsessed with waiting for reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty, because they have found ...... Just waiting for the harvest of the battlefield, there is a sense of pride that the Ming border army has never had before...... It was a feeling of being able to see the moon open.

Finally, it was no longer the same as before, and the Ming cavalry was clearly ahead of the Tartars in terms of the number of soldiers and horses, but they were chased by hundreds of Tartar cavalry and fled everywhere.

It turned out that we could use a very small number of soldiers and horses to lead the Tartar by the nose and go!

"Major General!"

When everyone looked at Wang Shouren again, that kind of admiration was no longer the time when they had ghosts before the war.

They now admire Wang Shouren from the bottom of their hearts.

A victory is not called a victory, the battle of Weininghai is more of a proper tactic of Zhang Zhou's surprise attack, and it is easy to win if any general is replaced, even if Wang Shouren wins respect that time, it is impossible for others to give him their lives because of that battle.

But the two wins are definitely not a coincidence, or they rely on the shadow of others, that is because Wang Shouren is really capable.

"Awesome, awesome!"

Even Cao Shun was almost so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

Wang Shouren looked at the group of excited soldiers around him, but he didn't continue to arch the fire, because he knew that the difficulties had just begun.

"Don't take it lightly, the previous victory was more due to the characteristics and power of the Heavenly Gunpowder, and Hu Lu is not familiar with specific tactics, and the bitter battle will start when they recover from it."

Guan Jing said: "Don't be afraid, follow the young general, we will fight to the death!" ”

"Yes!"

Even the generals who were very critical of Wang Shouren before and wanted to escape back to the border pass were also full of energy and confidence at this time.

Cao Shun sighed and said, "It's a pity that I didn't bring so much heavenly gunpowder......

"If you can kill so many Tartars before you die, it's worth it!" Ma Yi looked proud.

Wang Shouren shook his head with a serious face: "I don't think Hu Lu will dare to attack again." Before noon, the troops may be withdrawn! ”

"Their people, their families, their cattle, sheep, livestock, and belongings are still here, and they don't want them anymore?" Cao Shun looked proud.

Surprise attack on Wei Ninghai, he didn't get much credit, now if he goes through two wins, he returns to Daming, the level of scenery is ...... But it's not ordinary.

surpassed Wang Zhi, the great eunuch who was famous in the northwest at the beginning, and it seems that he is not a problem.

It seems that he can be transferred back to the capital with a single leap, become a master of ceremonies, or directly become a royal horse eunuch, and from then on he will reach the peak of eunuchs.

"Array, prepare for battle!"

Wang Shouren immediately ordered that the soldiers of all parties were now distracted, and they were all dedicated to completing the tasks assigned by Wang Shouren.

The defensive position of the Ming Dynasty was completely restored to its original state.

……

……

The cavalry of the Mongoljin army at the foot of the mountain seemed to have seven or eight thousand in front of them, but they no longer dared to charge up, and the distance was six or seven miles away, and they did not set up camp.

Even Wang Shouren couldn't figure out what they were doing.

Cao Shun and Sun Shangqi, Liu Gui and others went behind Wang Shouren, and Cao Shun first apologized and said: "General Wang, I have offended a lot before, and I still hope for Haihan." ”

"It's nothing, they both serve the court, and they don't distinguish each other." Wang Shouren said so, but in fact, he had long regarded Cao Shun as a bastard who could kill the sacrificial flag.

If you want to clean up Cao Shun, it seems that you have to wait until you return to Daming first.

Cao Shun asked: "Our family didn't understand why they had nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, why did they have to kill them in two batches?" Now it's even more remote and doesn't even move? ”

Wang Shouren sneered: "They didn't besiege us from beginning to end, they just didn't want us to make a move to break the net, we have more than 10,000 of their clansmen in our hands, if they don't give us any life, then their clansmen and livestock will not be able to be saved." But they overestimated their strength. ”

"Huh." Cao Shun smiled bitterly, "Let's see, it is they who underestimate the strength of the Ming generals and the young general." ”

Hearing this, even Sun Shangqi next to him was laughing.

No matter what the result is, it seems that Sun Shangqi was also infected by this atmosphere of victory, which was a kind of self-confidence that swept away inferiority, and it was the Chinese self-esteem that permeated the Ming army.

Cao Shun asked, "Then why don't we kill it?" ”

"No, you don't." Wang Shouren said, "Just wait for reinforcements!" ”

……

……

The two sides have been consuming, not going to war, not sending envoys to each other to negotiate, just doing so and waiting.

Until it was close to noon.

Wang Shouren has asked the army to start a fire, he just wants to give the Menggol Jin cavalry a kind of calm, we are calm, we can still eat first, you can only do hungry posture.

At this time, Ma Yi came over and said in surprise: "Major General, the Tartars have withdrawn!" ”

"Huh?"

Even if Wang Shouren was calm and relaxed before, when he heard this, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

When he walked out of the command post and picked up the binoculars to look at the enemy formation, he found that the cavalry of the Menggol Levin Division was already retreating.

"It doesn't look like he's pretending, it's a mess." Ma Yi is an experienced border town commander in the Xuanfu in the end, and he is very experienced in this.

"Whew!"

Wang Shouren breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, if it is a few hours late, even if it is three or four hours, maybe today's bloody battle will be inevitable." ”

Wang Shouren's meaning is obvious.

Even people like Ma Yi understand.

If the cavalry of the Menggol Jin Department is not withdrawn because of the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty, but to stay and continue to fight hard with the expeditionary force, then the next is a hard-fought battle, after all, the Ming side only has more than 2,000 cavalry, and the other side has seven or eight thousand cavalry, after the battle between the two sides, in order to ensure the stability of the rear, can only kill all the captured Menggol Jin herdsmen, and do not leave livestock.

At that time, the bitter battle between the two sides will definitely end with the complete defeat of the Ming Expeditionary Force.

The three-fold gap is still on the grassland, and there are only a few dozen shells left on the Ming side that can be used as the last support, but they can't stop the other party from annihilating their entire army.

But apparently, the cavalry of the Menggoljin Department also realized that if they continued to attack, the two sides could only break the net, and at this time, the Ming reinforcements also arrived, and they could only choose to withdraw.

……

……

"How? Continue south? ”

After noon, the telescope could no longer see the cavalry of the Mongol Detachment.

Wang Shouren did not give the order to pursue, nor did he give any orders to move the tent or march.

"Wait!"

Wang Shouren said, "No matter what the other party's intentions are, this place is very stable, and you will definitely be able to wait for the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty before dark." ”

As Wang Shouren said.

In fact, I didn't wait for it to get dark, but when the sun was setting in the west, the seven thousand soldiers and horses led by Zhang Zhouqin had appeared four or five miles next to the dirt mountain.

When the soldiers of the expeditionary force on the hillside saw the arrival of the Ming army, the excitement of escaping death was not disguised...... A few hours ago, I was still worried about my life, but now not only do I not have to worry, but I am still waiting to go back and receive the reward.

That's the difference between heaven and hell.
