Chapter 6 The tiger roars in the north, and the wolves retreat

The moment the morning sun spilled over the earth, the armies of both sides poured out of the city and lined up in the clearing.

The word "strict" is the banner? When Kuk Khan saw the banner of the Ming army, he squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

He also had a fight with the generals of the Ming army, but fortunately it was not Li Rubai of Liaodong, or a famous general such as "Liu Dadao".

A famous general with the surname Yan...... He did know that King Jingping two hundred years ago, Yan Yuanmo a few decades ago, recently, heh, nothing famous.

Maybe it's just a second generation who relied on his family to get this position?

Can win! He said secretly in his heart.

On the other side, Yan Shizhao didn't know that he was being underestimated, he rode a horse and was in the center of the military formation.

Looking around, the soldiers were neatly arrayed, their armor reflecting the sunlight in his eyes.

"Fight!"

He drew his sword abruptly, raised it high to the sky, and shouted.

The soldiers heard him and shouted in response:

"Fight! War! War! ”

Finally, the sound spread throughout the entire military array, and the voice of the eighty thousand Ming troops resounded through the wilderness, echoing in the empty land.

In the military formations of the Ming Dynasty, morale was even higher.

Over the years, there has been friction between the two sides on the border, but unlike the original history, the Tatars were rarely able to breach the Great Wall, and the last successful large-scale invasion was during the Jiajing year.

But this time, they succeeded, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains turned into hell.

This is undoubtedly a shame, and it is an ending full of blood and tears. It is necessary to know that the soldiers of the Ming Border Army, many of their wives and children are in the city behind them, and with the breaking of the Great Wall, many families are ruined.

When the battle cry sounds, you can hear them shouting with all their might, as if to shout out the humiliation, unwillingness, and anger in their hearts!

Cook Khan heard it too, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink. He suddenly realized that there was an angry army on the other side. The combat effectiveness of such an army will be amazing.

He looked back at his ranks, and the earth-shattering cry had reached the Tatar army, which made the morale of the Tatar army even lower.

They already had no fighting spirit, and they were bent on going back.

Their rear has fallen into a crisis, waiting for them to save at all times, but they are surrounded on all sides, and the artillery on the pass behind them is still roaring, and it will be affected if they are slightly behind, and the opposite side is the army of the Ming Dynasty.

I am uncertain about life and death.

Cook Khan was somewhat silent.

Now we can only hope that the generals on the opposite side will not use troops.

The decisive battle has officially begun.

The Tatar army, which was all cavalry, took the lead in the attack.

The cavalry was surging, and countless horses were trampling on the ground, rumbling like a torrent from hell. As soon as Cook Khan made a move, he was already the leader of the king's bomb, the most powerful tribes of the Tatar army.

Opposite, muskets and artillery began to roar.

The musket is extremely powerful, and it requires multiple layers of armor, or sophisticated iron armor to block it.

The Tatar army did not even have much armor.

Although at this distance, the musket is not much on the spot, but both sides are dense enough, and this is enough.

A large number of soldiers fell from their horses and were trampled into mud by their comrades behind them.

Not to mention the artillery, where the shells went, ploughed out a series of flesh and blood ravines.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, their formation was not scattered, and the Tatar cavalry knew that the cavalry charge was so fast that they could not shoot a few rounds.

When you rush in front of you, that's the beginning of the slaughter – that's a lesson in experience.

However, when they rushed to the front of the Ming army, they found that there was a wall in front of them.

Walls made of wood.

The Ming army pushed countless carts to the front as a barrier, and further on, a lot of thistles were sprinkled.

This is a sharp weapon against the Tatar iron cavalry, the cavalry who did not contain their legs fell to the ground with their horses, fell from the horses running at high speed, and the ground was covered with countless iron thistles with spikes, and the fate can be imagined. They became the first dead of the war.

However, the cavalry who retracted the horse's legs saw the scene in front of him clearly.

Behind the dense iron thistles, there were many holes in the car, and black iron pipes protruded from them.

What they didn't see was that behind the cart, countless Ming soldiers were bent and ready to attack.

"Put!"

The commander waved the command flag.

A rain of arrows is like a canopy.

Their archery skills may not be very accurate, let alone projectiles, but under such a density of volleys, they will inevitably be able to form a realm of death.

For a moment, the man turned on his horse, perhaps the bow and arrow were not as powerful as the musket, but there were more of them.

After several rounds of attacks, the Tatar army had already lost more than 3,000 men.

Seeing that he could not break through the thistle terrestris for the time being, the commander of the vanguard Wanqi ordered a temporary retreat, intending to make another plan.

However, it was just a turn and a rush back, and there was another burst of arrows and gunshots in the rear.

By the time the cavalry withdrew from range, there were only about 5,000 of the 10,000 cavalry left, and there was not even much wailing on the battlefield, and many Tatar soldiers were trampled to death by their own men in the rear when they were wounded and landed.

Cook Khan's palm suddenly clenched, this charge, in order to boost morale, he put his tribe in front, and now the loss is naturally the most.

The morale of the Tatar army fell to a minimum.

And at this time, in the rear of the Tatar army, another riot sounded.

Cook Khan turned back in disbelief and saw the gates of the pass wide open, and the "shrunken turtles" with swords in their hands and anger in their eyes came out from behind the walls!

The forces behind the palace were routed in an instant, and after that army were the Han people and baggage that they had captured, and now they were fleeing everywhere under the control of fear.

In the midst of the fighting, the people were crying and running, and the cattle carrying heavy loads were frightened by the roar of muskets.

The entire Tatar army was disrupted, and it was clear that there were only more than 10,000 Ming troops out of the city, but the entire Tatar army's middle and rear formations were chaotic.

On the opposite side, the sound of gongs and drums resounded in the sky, and Cook Khan suddenly turned around, and saw that on both sides of the Ming army, a large number of cavalry had poured out, charging towards the Tatar army, and the infantry behind him held spears and followed the footsteps of the cavalry.

Finished. He thought desperately.

The opposite side is definitely not a fledgling young man, who can arrange traps, grasp people's hearts, create powerful combat forms, and can be so keenly aware of fighters, he is definitely a veteran of the battlefield.

But why haven't I heard of his name?

Suddenly, he vaguely searched for something from that distant memory.

Ten years ago, his subordinates in the east had told him that he had been defeated at the hands of a deputy general soldier surnamed Yan.

But that was ten years ago, and Liaodong was not as rich as Guannei, and at that time Li Rusong had not died of illness, and there were such ruthless people stationed there, so he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Ten years gone, where did he go? Such a capable general, Da Ming just wasted him in the snow?

Cook Khan will never know the answer, because the three thousand battalions on the opposite side have already broken through the crowd and headed straight for his central army.
