Chapter 54: The decisive battle is suddenly hypothermic
After a day and night of rest, the soldiers of the Ming army were once again fierce.
When the sky was bright, Zhu Di ordered the scouts to go to inquire about the news, and at the same time, issued operational instructions and made battle formations.
……
The morning sun shines on the grass; Sprinkled on the blade of the armor, the cold light was deep.
More than 100,000 troops started a new journey, traveled thousands of miles, and finally ushered in a decisive battle.
Zhu Di is full of energy, although he is old, at this moment, he still can't maintain a normal heart.
Zhu Zhanji was even more excited, looking forward to the final battle.
Only Li Qing's face was indifferent and very calm, he understood that there would be no accidents in this battle.
Because under Zhu Di's careful arrangement, no matter how treacherous Mahamu's plan is, it will not help.
This time, Zhu Di completely stimulated all the potential of the Ming army, and under this mode of warfare, he was not afraid of all conspiracies.
The army marched all the way, and the emperor personally marched, and the positive impact on morale was not ordinary, and even the main generals from all walks of life wanted to behave well in front of the emperor.
With the same military talent, the emperor personally recruited and the marshal led the troops, there is a difference between cloud and mud.
Thirty miles, twenty miles, ten miles......
Closer and closer to the target battlefield, the army is still advancing in an orderly manner.
The scouts didn't rush back, but they didn't come back, which was also equivalent to a kind of feedback.
The army continued to move forward into the Kulan Hypothermic Zone, which was a mountainous area that was the most suitable for the army to hide, and at the same time, it was also the best place for cavalry to charge.
Zhu Di looked ahead and smiled coldly, "Mahamu, I hope you don't let me down." ”
~
Ma Hamu did not live up to Zhu Di's expectations, and after discovering the arrival of the Ming army, especially the formation of the infantry in front, he trembled with excitement.
This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to send pillows for sleepiness!
Without much hesitation, Mahamu immediately gave the order to attack.
A quarter of an hour later, the hidden Varat cavalry came out from behind the bunker, shouting for killing.
The horses' hooves trampled, the scene of thousands of horses galloping reappeared, and the Wara army brandished scimitars and killed from the left and right flanks of the Ming army, but more cavalry rushed towards the Ming army from the front.
This time, Mahamu took out the bottom of the pressure box and didn't hide it at all.
All the elites are out!
Tremble, Ming Jun, the time that belongs to me Mahamu has arrived...... Ma Hamu was condescending, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smug smile, "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you underestimate me Ma Ha too much...... Hiss~ That's not right! ”
The smile on Mahamu's face was gradually replaced by surprise, and he found that in the face of his own assault, the Ming army was not panicked at all, from the generals to the soldiers, and no one in the hundreds of thousands of troops appeared panicked.
The Ming army only quickly contracted the formation, and the action was very orderly, and it did not behave at all when it encountered an ambush.
Immediately, he laughed again.
It doesn't matter, their strategic goals have been achieved, the cavalry momentum has risen, and the overall situation has been decided!
The assault did not cause a riot in the Ming army, on the contrary, it increased the confidence of the Ming army.
Because the emperor had already said that he would fight a decisive battle here, and now that Warat had arrived as promised, it made them feel that the emperor had great powers and had no last resort.
Almost at the same time as the appearance of the Warat army, the Ming army began to implement the predetermined formation.
"You're in control." Zhu Di smiled lightly, and finally got serious.
Mahamu was also extremely proud, "The advantage is mine!" ”
"Click......!"
The cavalry was extremely fast, and in half an hour, the distance between the frontmost armies of the two sides was only about a mile.
At this time, the Ming army at the front quickly retreated, and at the same time, the soldiers behind stepped forward, all holding wooden sticks, lined up and pointed at the Warat cavalry.
"That's ......," Mahamu was a little confused.
The distance was too far, and he wasn't sure what Ming Jun was holding in his hand, but he soon knew what Ming Jun was holding in his hand.
Because the sticks are smoking.
"Fire guns, fire guns!" Ma Hamu gritted his teeth, "How can the Ming army have such a powerful firearm army?" ”
The Ming army used a three-stage shooting, the firepower was very strong, and there was no vacuum period, under the burst of lead bullets, a large number of Warat cavalry fell under the horse, was trampled into flesh.
Mahamu's heart was dripping blood, but there was no other way, the cavalry had already started, and he couldn't call it back at all, and once he stopped, the previous efforts would be in vain.
It doesn't matter, when the cavalry rushes closer, the firearms of the Ming army will become burning sticks...... Mahamu comforted himself.
No sooner had the thought come to him than he heard a roar.
At such a distance, you can still hear it so vividly, you don't have to think about Mahamu to know what it is.
Artillery!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The roar continued one after another, and each cannon shot seemed to hit Mahamu's heart.
There is a certain lag in sound propagation, and Mahamu here hears the sound of cannons, and the Ming army over there has put several rounds.
It's a long story, but it's actually lightning fast, and the Ming army's guns and artillery were carried out almost at the same time, and under the dense firepower, Wara suffered heavy casualties.
One by one, the cannonballs cut through the air in a graceful parabola, and landed in the Warat camp and exploded.
"Sigh the law ......"
“@#¥……”
For a time, the man turned on his back, which greatly slowed down the cavalry momentum.
Ma Hamu hated it very much, in his opinion, the Ming army was cheating, how could there be such a war?
Zhu Di's use and development of thermal weapons surpassed all dynasties, even during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and it was far inferior.
Of the three major battalions of the Ming army, firearms account for one of them, which can be seen.
The soldiers at the front of the Ming army were not infantry, but the most elite of the three battalions.
Clearing, charging, loading, ignition...... Each step has a dedicated soldier, and the fighters perform their own duties, and the firing efficiency is extremely high.
Mouth cannon, general cannon, handle gun, magic gun, fast gun, single flying god rocket...... All kinds of firearms are on the battlefield, and the Shenji Battalion is mighty!
This extremely short distance usually allows the cavalry to arrive in two minutes, but at this moment, it has become an insurmountable moat for the Warat army.
The main reason is that this place is mountainous, and under the narrow terrain, the Warat army is relatively concentrated, and basically you can effectively shoot the enemy without much aim.
All kinds of firearms roared and flew towards the Warat army, and the lethality was gratifying.
Under this kind of firepower, not only the people, but also the war horses were frightened, hesitated and did not dare to step forward, almost all of them were standing still, and even some of the Warat cavalry retreated uncontrollably.
The Mongolian horses had never encountered a cannon, and they were all frightened.
The initial momentum of the tiger descending the mountain has long since disappeared, and the sneak attack has completely lost its effect.
No, this is not at all what Mahamu envisioned in advance.
However, at this point, he could only hope that the assault on the left and right flanks would be effective, but soon, he was dumbfounded again.
This time, the Warat army did kill the Ming army's camp, but under the resistance of the Ming army's wolf's tooth phalanx, it failed to rush into the Ming army at all, and stopped the momentum.
Then, the shield soldiers and spearmen of the Ming army stepped forward and fought with the Warat army.
The shield bearers held shields for protection while chopping the legs of horses, while the spearmen held their spears and poked indiscriminately.
The advantages of the Warat cavalry were not brought into play at all!
Mahamu was very sad and angry, he couldn't accept that a battle that had been planned for a long time would be fought like this.
Ming Mingjun has been led by his nose, everything is under control, why is this so.
Maham couldn't think about it, but he didn't have time to summarize the reasons now, and he had to reverse the decline as soon as possible.
But without waiting for him to give combat instructions, the Ming army took the first step.
The Shenji battalion at the front was divided into two sides, and the 3,000 battalions in the center came out and rushed head-on towards the Warat army.
"Kill ......!"
The momentum of the Ming army is like a rainbow, and they are indomitable, and their first element is to charge, as for how many enemies they kill, it is secondary.
Zhu Di gave them only one order: rush!
The 3,000 battalions were like a sharp awl, rampage in front of the Varat army, and marched forward bravely.
Immediately afterwards, the follow-up army followed the pace, and the middle army, the left army, the left army, the right army, the right sentinel army, and the five armies went into battle together, muddying the battlefield.
Mahamu was not given the opportunity to command the battle at all.
Mahamu was anxious and angry, and was soon replaced by fear, he found that although the battlefield was chaotic, it was the Warat army that was chaotic, and the Ming army was orderly in chaos.
At the same time, a terrible fact was laid out in front of him.
His army of Warat has been divided!
