Because while marching, maintaining a formation and strictly guarding against sneak attacks, the 100,000-strong army waited for several days before reaching Haizhou.

Around Tangwang Mountain and Sanhuang Mountain, the Ming army surrounded the open space between the two mountains with a chariot formation, and 5,000 elites of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were stationed in the open space.

10,000 soldiers of the Shenshu battalion were on the mountain, and 20,000 soldiers were camped in the south of the mountain, thinking that it was a corner of the road.

Next, it is to wait patiently for the Meng Yuan cavalry to come and attack.

At the same time, Fan Guang and Wu Zhong had already led an army of 50,000 to cross the Liao River and slaughtered under the city of Shenyang.

The 10,000 Mongolian troops who stayed behind to besiege Shenyang were dumbfounded.

Since the north was a powerful Ming army, the west was muddy Liaoze, and the east was a mountain, so the Mongolian army chose to retreat south and try to meet the main force of the Badas.

Fan Guang, Wu Zhong, and Zhang Ning discussed the next move in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Wu Zhong praised: "Zhang Da Tanhua's trick is really vicious, once the enemy army in Shenyang is reconnoitred and divided, he will immediately wave his army and turn to Shenyang."

Suddenly an army of 50,000 popped up, and the enemy was in disarray, and they must be cursing at us as they ran. ”

Zhang Ning said with a smile: "This can't be blamed on us, if they didn't divide their troops and the 30,000 army besieged Shenyang with all their might, then we will honestly go to Kaiyuan."

If they have to show a flaw, then it's no wonder that we are.

I heard that there are 30,000 elites in the Gaizhou army, and we have more than 30,000 elites here.

My idea is that we should select 20,000 elite cavalry from the army and follow behind the 10,000 Mongolian troops who retreated south, and chase after them.

It is only 200 miles from Shenyang to Haizhou, and it will converge in two days. Let's fight a general battle and drive the Mongolian army into Liaoze. ”

Fan Guang nodded: "I haven't fought a hard battle for a long time, this time I personally led 20,000 cavalry to chase and kill the enemy." ”

Zhang Ning replied: "That's okay, Shenwu Hou tried his best to bite the enemy, and we led an army of 30,000 to follow, and strive to annihilate the enemy." ”

On 22 May, after consulting with the generals, it was decided to launch a surprise attack.

From the place where the Mongolian army was hidden to Haizhou, it was only a hundred miles.

The Mongol army, which was all light cavalry, immediately set off and launched a sneak attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning, just after dawn.

In the early hours of the morning, the Ming army was hazy and half-asleep, and when it was half-asleep and half-awake, the defense was the most lax, and it was a good time to launch a sneak attack.

In the past, when the Beijing division was defended, the Ming army liked to launch a sneak attack in the early hours of the morning.

In the early morning of 23 May, just after dawn, the Mongolian army launched a sneak attack as scheduled.

Hearing the sound of killing, Gu Zhong immediately sat up from his chair.

In the past few days, the soldiers of the Ming army have not undressed their armor and slept in their clothes, waiting for this moment.

The first to bear the brunt were the two garrison camps at the foot of the mountain.

Since it was a temporary camp, there was definitely no trench, only the south side of the camp blocked two rows of horses.

Then there is the Checheng phalanx that guards the camp.

Entering the Jingtai Dynasty, Zhao Kuo's Checheng Circle Array was carried forward by Zhu Qiyu.

Connecting the chariots end to end, forming a circle, and then hiding behind the chariot to shoot arrows or stab with spears, it is already difficult for the enemy to penetrate.

Not to mention the fact that there are still firearms.

The chariot was carrying the Ming army's repeating rockets.

The 'swarm' can launch 32 rockets at the same time, with a range of up to 300 steps.

When the Mengyuan cavalry entered within two hundred paces, the Ming army fired a volley.

Pity the Mongolian army in the front row, even the men and horses were shot down, and the cavalry behind couldn't contain the momentum, and kept trampling on the front row.

The Mongolian army was also a little confused, saying that it was a good sneak attack, why did the Ming army react so quickly.

Shouldn't they have put on armor first, then lined up, and then wound their bows and prepared their firearms. By the time they had done all this, the Great Yuan Iron Rider had already rushed to the front and began to chop melons and vegetables.

But the situation in front of me is obviously a little different from what I said.

The Mongolian army's mind was shaken, and the momentum of the charge was delayed.

After the Ming army fired a round of rockets, they began shelling again.

The Ming army did not have many artillery, and the power was not great enough. But when it sounded, people were not afraid, but the horses were afraid.

While firing artillery, the Ming army fired bed crossbows to attack the Mongolian army.

They have already begun to charge, and they must not stop halfway.

The Meng soldiers suffered a wave of bed crossbows and many horses before rushing to the chariot.

At this time, it was the Ming army armed with bows and crossbows and firearms that shot at the Mongolian army.

There were also pikemen, hiding behind the chariots, stabbing at the Mongol army.

Polo watched the battle from a distance, and when he saw a round of charge, he lost at least a few hundred people, and his tears almost fell from his eyes.

I saved and saved, and I saved and saved for more than ten years, and I avoided the war of attrition in Shanxi and Beijing, so I saved such a pair of belongings.

Every warrior was trained with hard work, but was harvested like grass by the Ming army.

As soon as the battle begins, it cannot be stopped, otherwise the people in front of it will die in vain.

Polo sent a second group of cavalry to attack the flanks of the Ming camp from the east and west.

The scene was repeated, and then it was time to shoot at each other across the chariots.

The Ming troops on the two hills began to beat drums and cheer, waving their flags and shouting, but no one rushed down.

Polo did not dare to rush into the middle, for fear of being flanked. So the focus was all on the impact on the flanks of the Ming army.

Across the chariots, both sides fell in batches, and on top in batches, a fierce battle was launched.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the Mongolian army finally broke through the Ming army's car formation.

The Ming army abandoned the battle and retreated, and the Mongolian soldiers were relieved and dismounted one after another to move the chariots. Prepare to remove these obstacles, and then launch a final harvest on these two battalions of Ming troops.

Once the car formation is broken, the victory is in hand.

The Mongolian army also sighed in his heart, and the Ming army on the mountain was too uncompromising, so they watched the friendly army being wiped out, and they didn't even support it.

However, the support was useless, the Mongolian army only dispatched 10,000 people in this offensive, and there were 10,000 fresh troops behind the formation.

It's a pity that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.

When the Mongolian army moved away from the Ming army's car formation, they were surprised to find that there was still a circle of car formations inside.

This is a large array set of small arrays, with a large car formation on the outside and a small car formation inside.

Pit people, together with the Ming army to guard the rabbit, it has long been determined that it will be attacked.

With mental calculations and unintentional, without waiting for the Mongolian army to react, the Ming army relied on the small car formation and started another round of 'swarm' volleys.

Fortunately, many Mongolian troops dismounted just now, and this time they could hide behind their horses, allowing the war horses to withstand this round of attacks.

After the 'swarm of bees', it was the baptism of the bed crossbow again.

The Ming army of the Jingtai Dynasty preferred the bed crossbow, which was farther than the firearm attack, and was not affected by the weather, so it could be used no matter how heavy it rained.

He came to kill the red eye, and he wanted to attack, and wanted to send another 10,000 people, even if he used his life, he had to take the two camps of the Ming army.

Judging from the combat power of these Ming troops, they must be elite. Destroy them, and the Ming army on the mountain will not be able to escape.

If they withdraw now, all the people in front of them will die in vain.

However, the Mongolian army in front could not withstand the baptism of crossbow arrows and began a comprehensive retreat.
