The Ming army came out of the city and formed their formation. At the same time, Zheng Yu also saw the Mongolian army. He pointed his saber at the Northern Barbarians and shouted: "Soldiers, our enemies are in front of us. Their numbers are dozens of times greater than ours. They are just like one of our soldiers."

You have to face ten of their sabers, but tell me, are you afraid of them?"

More than 5,000 Ming troops leaving the city shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With this roar, more than 5,000 people shouted with the momentum of more than 50,000 people. The shouts were loud and magnificent! On the contrary, all the horses in front of the Mongolian army were startled, and the horses kept neighing.

.Some horses were even frightened and ran away. In a decisive battle on the battlefield, momentum is very important. Since ancient times, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Whether an army will win in a war requires momentum in addition to combat effectiveness!

Upon seeing this, Batu Meng roared: "Give me back your momentum!" More than 50,000 Mongolians shouted: "We must win! We must win! We must win!" The shouts surged like a tide, and they were like a victory.

After a while, taking advantage of the large number of people, they rushed back with momentum.

The two sides exchanged shots at each other and took up positions. Zheng Yu and Batu Mengke took action on their own.

When Batu Mengke rode his horse ten steps to the target point, he instantly felt the pressure of the Ming army's "last-ditch battle". He couldn't help but sigh: "The Ming army's number is ten times less than ours, but it still has such grace. It is worthy of the Ming Dynasty."

A huge country."

Zheng Yuxian said: "You Tatars are cruel, ferocious and treacherous. Not long ago, you sent envoys to our capital to pay tribute. Since we are already a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, why do you still invade our borders repeatedly? Now the war is about to break out. If you want to persuade me to surrender, please go back.

.The Ming cavalry behind me would rather die than surrender!"

Batu Mengke smiled calmly and said: "The Ming cavalry? Are you worthy of being called cavalry in front of my Mongol army? When did our Mongol Empire surrender to you Han people? It was just a delaying tactic. Now we rely on Changshengtian's

Bless you, our Great Mongol Empire will be unified again. This time we will definitely fight back to the Central Plains and take back the country that belongs to us. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left behind."

Zheng Yu snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, you are so arrogant. We Han people could drive you out a hundred years ago, but in the future I, the Ming Dynasty, can still drive you back to the grassland to herd horses."

Batu Mengke burst out laughing. He pointed at the more than 5,000 people behind Zheng Yu and said: "Our Mongolian army is ten times larger than yours. So what if Xu Da comes back to life in such a battle? What if you guys

If there are firearms and heavy artillery, I am still a little worried. Now I am relying on my saber on horseback. How will you fight? I would like to see how you set up the formation. I can end such a battle in half a stick of incense.

fighting!"

Zheng Yu looked at the Mongolian cavalry behind Batu Mengke. Indeed, if the Mongolian army wanted to fight quickly, they did not need to talk too much with him, nor did they need to fight to the death with the Ming army. They were ten times stronger than him. If he ordered the Mongols first

The crossbowmen fired fiercely for a while, disrupting the Ming army's formation, and then used the cavalry to charge back and forth several times. Finally, the main force was ordered to harvest the heads and it was over. In this way, half a stick of incense could indeed end the battle.

But today has reached this point, Zheng Yu has no choice but to fight. He knows that the censors and officials in the court are powerful. Even if he does not allow the people to enter the city today and cannot leave, he can watch the people below the city die.

At the hands of the Mongols. However, he would inevitably be impeached, dismissed from office, and his conscience could not bear it. Although he did not know what the temper of the current emperor was, he could guess from the previous emperors and generals that he was far away.

Outside the Great Wall, those officials are at the feet of the emperor, impeaching him for confusing right and wrong. They can turn black things into white things and deceive the emperor's hearing."

Zheng Yu said coldly: "Soldiers should wrap their bodies in horse leather and be proud to serve the country. There is no need for the Great Khan to talk about it. He will go back to reorganize the army. We will see the real results on the battlefield soon!"

Zheng Yu turned back on his horse and ran back into the formation. Bolger next to him snorted disdainfully: "You are still so arrogant when you are about to die. I will attack your spirit today."

As soon as Batu Mengke returned to the formation, Wanhu Sukhbar came out and said: "Thank you to the Great Khan, the crossbowmen are ready, and the cavalry on both wings are in place. As long as you give an order, the cavalry on both wings will cover the crossbowmen and move forward."

"

Batu Mengke said calmly: "The five thousand Ming army is not worth mentioning at all. Let Bolger take command of this battle. Just let me see if your saber is still sharp as a Mongolian general.

Bolger responded: "Don't worry, Khan, I will prove to you and the great Immortal God that the saber hanging on my waist is not a branch."

Batu Mengke nodded with satisfaction and galloped back to the camp.

Bolger touched his beard and said with a smile: "Sukhbal, don't be anxious. The Ming army is already a turtle in the urn. Aren't they very arrogant? They never take our Mongolian army seriously. We will slowly consume him today and let him

He watched his army dwindle until he was the only one left."

After hearing this, Sukhbar was shocked and said: "Borge, the Ming army is famous for its battle formations. We must not take it lightly. It is better to fight quickly in case they have reinforcements."

Bolger's face darkened and he shouted: "Sukhbal, how come you have the ambition of the enemy and destroy your own prestige? Just watch and see how we beat the Ming army to the point where they kneel down and beg for mercy."

Sukhbar was about to continue admonishing when Bolger said angrily: "Is it me or you, the general appointed by the Great Khan just now?" This question left Sukhbar speechless, and he sighed loudly and ran to the rear.

Went to supervise the battle."

The Ming army was well prepared. They all knew that this was the last time they would fight on the battlefield, and they looked down upon the possibility of survival. At this time, they were calmly waiting for the command from the commander Zheng Yu.

The Mongolian army did not send out the crossbowmen first, but directly dispatched the cavalry on both wings.

Compared with the orderly charge of the Ming army's cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry was disorganized. They waved their sabers and screamed "Aoao". The dust kicked up by their horses' hooves made the sky and the earth change color.

"Lie Jima, change the formation"!

Zhuo Changfeng raised his halberd on his horse to supervise the formation and shouted orders. Facing the menacing Northern Barbarian cavalry, he could only cooperate with each other in a small-scale military formation to reduce maximum casualties.

The infantry of the Ming Dynasty arranged their formation in an orderly manner. Zheng Yu, Li Ren and others bent their bows and aimed arrows at the enemy generals. Every time they fired their bows, someone would fall off their horses.

Zheng Yu gathered the remaining 500 crossbowmen together, and Li Ren shouted loudly: "One hundred and twenty steps, shoot!"

Suddenly, a hail of arrows flew out. The distance of one hundred and twenty steps greatly increased the probability of the arrow hitting. A small shower of arrows knocked over some of the men charging in front of the Mongolian cavalry.

Mongolian commander Bolger shouted: "Charge the left and right wings to cover the central army!"

Under the cover of only more than 500 crossbowmen, the Ming army slowly formed a military formation. There were three people in a group. One person held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. One person held a knife. The other person had a hidden weapon that was not exposed.

.

When the Mongolian cavalry on the left and right wings rushed close, one person in the Ming army held up his shield to resist the cavalry's iron hoofs. One person suddenly thrust out a sickle spear from under the shield. The moment the horse's hoof broke, he overturned the northern barbarian soldier on his back. The Ming army

The man with the sword in the military formation immediately saw the opportunity and smote it with his sword!

Zheng Yu has actually been training this kind of cooperative tactics in Datong for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to use it. Without the support of firearms and heavy artillery, he specially invented the hook and sickle gun to deal with the Mongolian cavalry.

Unfortunately, there are not many people, and not many hooks and sickles have been produced.

Some military formations of the Ming army did not have hooks and sickles, so they could not withstand the charge of the Mongolian cavalry. They were instantly knocked open. In front of the highly mobile cavalry, the infantry simply had to block the car and was trampled to pieces in an instant.

Some Mongolian cavalry generals did not attack the left and right wings of the Ming army but went straight to the center. It is true that Zheng Yu's position was too important to the Ming army. If he could be killed, he would have to close thousands of households! But the Mongolian cavalry

Before the general rushed in front of Zheng Yu, Li Ren and another general on his left and right had already taken action.

Li Ren roared repeatedly, urging his horse to kill the Mongolian cavalry general who was not afraid of death. He slashed the Mongolian cavalry general in half with a slash of his heavy sword. The other general was not to be outdone. With a flick of his spear, he was instantly killed.

Pierce a hole in the enemy.

Bolger, the commander of Wanhu in Mongolia, was overjoyed when he saw that the right-wing cavalry had successfully torn a hole in the Ming army's defense line, and shouted: "The Chinese army will charge with me, attack the enemy's right flank, and divide them into three sections!"

The hole on the right side of the Ming army's formation was getting bigger and bigger, but they were not afraid of death. One fell in front, and the back quickly made up. Facing the tenacious right side of the formation, the Mongolian cavalry was helpless for a while.

.

Brothers, fight with them”!

After a soldier struggled to kill a cavalryman, he was beheaded by the Mongolian cavalry as soon as he shouted.

Hearing the sound of a bow, the two Mongolian generals fell off their horses. Li Ren rushed over with his sword in hand and shouted: "Brothers, we are here to support you!"

With the help of 800 brave men of the Ming Army led by Li Ren, the gap on the right was gradually closed. However, Bolger led the main cavalry to the right in an instant, trying to stop the stubborn resistance of the Northern Desert Army.

Cut it off and divide it into three ways.

Zheng Yu cut down a Northern Barbarian cavalry, raised his sword, got on his horse and rushed straight towards Bolger. Facing the menacing Mongolian cavalry, some of the infantry of the Ming army who had lost their military formation seemed like fish and meat on the chopping board to be slaughtered. The Mongolians were among them.

The murder of a thousand households was on the rise, but they did not realize that death had come quietly. Zheng Yu rushed over and suddenly shouted loudly, and the thousand households had no time to react and was cut in half.

Zheng Yu instantly chopped down the cavalry flag of the Northern Desert Army, holding the head of Qianhu and shouting: "Tatar dogs, your general's head is here!" Without the guidance of the flag, and the death of Qianhu,

Suddenly the cavalry in the middle was leaderless. On the contrary, the Ming army began to gain morale, returned to the general formation, and fought back vigorously.

At this time, Sukhbal personally led a team of 10,000 people to launch the final charge. The difference was that the speed of the charge slowed down significantly. Moreover, there were thousands of crossbowmen on each side of the wing who quickly moved forward to prepare their bows and arrows. The last one was

There were more than 5,000 cavalrymen eager to try.

Zheng Yu was shouting when he suddenly heard a "swift" sound and an arrow shot through the air as fast as a meteor.

Zheng Yu was caught off guard and was hit in the shoulder by an arrow. He screamed and fell off his horse.

As soon as the Ming army general fell from his horse, many Mongolian troops surrounded him, wanting to chop off Zheng Yu's head first and make him a marquis. At this time, a loud shout suddenly came, and Li Ren raised his sword and came over to kill him: "General

,Hold on! I'm here to save you!"

Li Ren slashed horizontally and vertically with a broadsword, causing the Mongolian soldier to flip over. Zheng Yu covered his wound and said with a bitter smile: "You and I will die here today."

A Mongolian cavalry general on the side recognized Zheng Yu and shouted: "It is this man with a long beard and a sword who killed Commander Qianhu. He is the chief general of the Ming Army. Everyone, go up and kill him to avenge Commander Qianhu!"

After hearing the sound, the Mongolian cavalry surrounded them one after another. Li Ren chopped down two more with his sword, protected Zheng Yu and shouted: "If a man dies, he will die. I can die with the general today. My life is worth it."

Sukhbal quickly bent his bow and aimed an arrow at Li Ren's eyebrows, shot two arrows in succession, and yelled: "hit!"

The arrow from the string flew through the sky with the whistling wind, faster than meteors and faster than lightning.

Zheng Yu suddenly heard the sound of arrows in his right ear and hurriedly pushed Li Ren away: "Be careful!

Pushing Li Ren away, Zheng Yu turned around and blocked an arrow with his sword. Another arrow came quickly. Before Zheng Yu could cry out, it hit Feng Wu's chest with a "pop". The huge impact directly penetrated Feng Wu's chest.

Zheng Yu’s armor…
