1957 The feeling of time and space disorder

The Yerkand cavalry arrived, the horse's hooves roared, and the earth was trembling.

Unfortunately, they encountered a large Ming army formation with infantry outside and cavalry inside, and formed a neat circular formation, which was protected by a large number of caltrops at the outer end.

But when the gunshots were heard, the Yerkand cavalry kept falling down, and they were sniped!

Seeing that the Ming army was not in chaos, the Yerkand cavalry rushed forward in two groups and drove past the sides of the Ming army formation and began to shoot arrows.

At that time, Batuer, the main general of the left wing of Yarkand, led his horse soldiers to attack from a team of men. Batuer held a good bow decorated with gold and gems and had thick and exquisite iron armor all over his body. His war horse Xiongjun supported him to run very quickly, surpassing the cavalry wearing light armor.

The horses sped on the green grassland, and Batu took the lead and shot out an arrow, which seemed to hit a cavalry in the inner circle of the Ming army's formation!

The other soldiers also shot arrows together, and the bowstrings suddenly crackled like fried peas, and the arrows fell like rain.

The cavalry is different from the horse army that rushes to the formation. They not only need the courage to not be afraid of death, but also keep their energy calm and maintain their physical strength. They are moving forward at a constant speed and running around the enemy.

The Yarkand people showed superb archery skills. Although their movements were different from each other, the movement process was almost the same. In order to save physical strength, the riding archer with excellent physical strength did not have any extra fancy moves.

Some people in the Ming army were shot and casualties were increasing.

But if there is a minor injury, no one will go down the line of fire and they shoot at the enemy.

Batuer skillfully picked up the bow and arrow. At this moment, the army and horses were running in a diagonal direction from the enemy's side, which was a perfect angle than the front! With the speed of war horses, the bow and arrow have greater lethality, and they can shoot from the oblique side and shoot randomly.

As a young general who was born in a grassland family and received good training since he was a child, Batur has a pattern in every move, which is very effective.

His body was very straight on the horse, and the movement of the bow was full of strength and grace. His posture of sitting on the horse was paused slightly, and his figure seemed like a statue! "Bang!" It was clear that his target was dropped from the horse, very accurate.

Then, a while ago he was very powerful, and the next moment he was unlucky. The aperture of the scope on the Ming army's formation hit his horse!

When the gunshot was heard, Batu's horse screamed and knelt forward, causing Batu to fall out, roll and crawl, and the bow on his hand disappeared.

His horse was shot. He was so coquettish, it would be strange if he didn't hit him!

There were excellent snipers in the Ming army, and the lowest rank were all non-commissioned officers, and some were even major officers. Compared with other officers and soldiers, they had higher degrees of freedom and specialized in finding high-value targets.

Their eyes were very poisonous, and they often found important targets, one hit and one hit. Batur suffered so much, but fortunately he woke up quickly.

His personal soldiers divided a horse and rode him again, no longer as proud as before. The gorgeous armor was covered with a layer of gray robe, and the good bow decorated with gold and gems was tied with a piece of cloth. He no longer dared to fire arrows at high speed, but instead synchronized with the people around him.

In short, don’t express yourself prominently. They are spinning outside the fire circle in the Ming army, and people are constantly falling off, just like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

The Ming army's muskets were shot very accurately, and there were almost no rifled rifles. When the Yarkand people approached, the smoothbore rifles made them lose their souls.

Then a louder sound came. When the Yarkand people launched a fierce attack, the Ming army used artillery and fired shotguns. The fierce offensive momentum of the Yarkand people was immediately suppressed!

In fact, the Yarkand people were just feint attacking, and they didn't dare to attack the military formation with caltrops in front of them, and no one was stupid.

Speaking of which, when the Central Plains dynasty deals with nomadic peoples, as long as the Han army is firm, just as the two Chinese armies often say, "The enemy is iron, we are steel, as long as we are brave, there is no tenacity of the enemy." When the tribal army encounters such a Han army, the tribal army will be defeated!

No one dared to rush, and the rush was awesome, and the whole family was gone. It was not the Han army that killed them, but their fellow tribes. This is a big problem of the army being private.

The Yarkands attacked for a while, but the more they died, the more they died. Too many dead horses and people were killed outside the Ming army, which affected Mercedes-Benz, and the Yarkands gradually withdrew from the killing radius of the rifled rifle.

At this time, a lot of cattle and sheep intercepted by the horse-stopped rifle died, and the rest scattered. Some of the tribal dead soldiers hidden among the cattle and sheep escaped, and some were beaten to death.

Seeing this, Ma Weixing ordered the troops to recover the caltrops and rifles, and then set off in the whole team.

His troops were actually three thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry, and one thousand civilians. These civilians were all trained in military training and led the teams with retired soldiers. So he simply recruited them into the army, allowing the troops to advance into three columns, with two thousand infantry on both sides and two thousand cavalry in the middle, and the cavalry formation was solid.

The Ming army was walking on the road, and the Yarkanders launched an attack at the same time. On one side was Batur and on the other side were Sabir. The two agreed that whoever broke through the enemy formation first would be the eldest brother!

However, in front of the Ming army, they were all younger brothers. Facing the cavalry raid, the Ming army hurriedly sprinkled caltrops, but did not completely hope for those small caltrops, but made sufficient preparations for combat.

The infantry phalanx was steady on the left and right to prepare to face the enemy. The first row was a soldier holding a square shield and a long musket holding a bayonet. The square shield was placed on the ground, and the spear was placed above the shield, and the soldiers sat on the ground; the second row extended the spear out of the gap in the middle of the row, and the spear was against the ground, and the spear was pressed against the ground with its feet. The army crossed the bow and arrow to stabilize the spear; the third row also extended the spear, but the extended parts were closer. The three rows were arranged in a staggered manner, making the square array look like a huge machine covered with iron spears.

The soldiers behind and the high cavalry kept firing guns, firing artillery and throwing bombs!

The Yarkand people rushed over, and they paid for it. In front of the Ming soldiers, heavy armored cavalry rolled in, even the horses had iron armor!

The roar of iron hooves trampling on the ground and the terrifying momentum made the Ming army infantry who were facing the enemy cavalry unspeakable. At this time, people would instinctively question whether the flesh and blood could firmly block the torrent of the iron cavalry here?

They secretly looked at the tall and upright figure in the formation, and Ma Weixing shouted: "Call me!"

He knew very well that the enemy was ten times more important than ours, but he did not take the enemy seriously at all. His confidence infected every soldier in the Ming army. They rose up to resist, stabbed the enemy cavalry with a bayonet and inserted it into the enemy's abdomen.

The Ming army was so powerful that it was like a spring with infinite elasticity. The greater the pressure of the enemy, the greater the rebound force. The Yarkands only threw thousands of corpses on their positions and had to be defeated.

The battle continued, and the Ming army retreated to Urumqi. The Yarkand people kept chasing each other. However, no matter how they tried their best, they could not destroy the Ming army. Instead, they lost their troops and generals, and tens of thousands of people died. They watched the Ming army fight for 300 miles and meet with the brigade of Ming army sent by Urumqi City!
