There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and a group of people and horses were seen galloping towards Wang Yangming. The leader was none other than General Qi Zhen and a group of soldiers under his command.
When Chen Shan went to persuade Ma Guli to surrender, Qi Zhen brought his own soldiers to find out about the Tatars.
After all, no one knew what the Tatars would do, especially since Ma Guli was leading the most elite Golden Horde army in the Tatars, so Qi Zhen and others could not help but ignore it.
At this moment, Qi Zhen came running towards Wang Yangming with a solemn look on his face. He got off his horse and strode towards Wang Yangming from a distance.
Wang Yangming's eyes fell on Qi Zhen, with a slight smile on his lips. Before Qi Zhen could speak, he said to Qi Zhen: "General Qi, but the Tatars have sent troops?"
Qi Zhen just paused for a moment and saluted Wang Yangming with a solemn expression: "Go back to the Governor. Just as the Governor said, Ma Guli is leading an army and is coming towards us."
Wang Yangming nodded slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes and said: "It's good that you're here. It seems that Chen Shan's trip was not in vain."
Qi Zhen had a look of confusion on his face when he heard this, but Wang Yangming didn't say anything more. He just looked at Qi Zhen and said, "General Qi, you should immediately lead more than a thousand cavalry to fight the Tatars!"
Qizhen couldn't help but be astonished. There were more than a thousand cavalrymen, but there was really no chance of winning against the more than ten thousand troops of the Golden Horde under the command of Ma Guli.
Just when Qi Zhen was puzzled, Wang Yangming said again: "You are here to promise defeat but not victory. You must bring Ma Guli and others into the range of the artillery."
Qi Zhenzheng, who was still quite puzzled at first, was curious about why Wang Yangming asked him to lead more than a thousand cavalry to fight against the Tatars. Now he understood immediately. He bowed to Wang Yangming and said: "The last general takes orders."
Qi Zhen smiled at Wang Yangming and said: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely lure the Tatars here. Besides, with only a thousand men and horses, even the most powerful general will not be able to defeat them."
The elite Tatar army."
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "I will wait here for the Qi General Soldier to bring the Tatars to die! Success or failure depends on this one move, so the Qi General Soldier should be more careful."
Qi Zhen looked serious, clasped his fists at Wang Yangming, and immediately turned around and left with his soldiers.
Soon they saw Qian Yu Qi running towards the direction of the Tatars under the leadership of Qi Zhen.
It was almost time to drink tea, and several figures could be vaguely seen in the distance. When the other party approached, who were the masters and servants of Chen Shan who came to persuade Ma Guli to surrender?
However, Chen Shan had obviously tidied up at this moment, and he didn't look that embarrassed. However, he couldn't replace his official uniform, so there was a faint smell of fishy smell on his body.
Several officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chen Shan returning safely. Someone said to Chen Shan: "Did Mr. Chen's trip go smoothly? Are you willing to surrender in Ma Guli?"
Chen Shan shook his head and said: "He is a barbarian with a weak body. I tried my best to persuade him, but he refused to listen to the advice and actually refused to surrender. It is fitting that he will be destroyed by our Ming Dynasty."
Someone heard this and said with some admiration: "Master Chen, you have worked hard!"
Wang Yangming did not speak, but looked at Chen Shan calmly, but Chen Shan felt guilty and did not dare to look at Wang Yangming. At this time, he was dealing with several colleagues, smelling the faint smell of fishy smell on his body, Chen Shan coughed lightly and turned to Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming said: "Grand Governor, I have been through a long journey as an official. I will go and change my clothes first, and then I will return to the Grand Governor."
Wang Yangming waved his hand and motioned for Chen Shan to go down.
Chen Shan quickly took his servants to change his clothes.
Watching Chen Shan leave, Wang Yangming looked into the distance, his eyes full of solemnity and said lightly: "Since Chen Shan is back, I think the Tatars should also be here by now."
At this moment, Qizhen led more than a thousand riders and ran into the Tatar army several miles away.
The more than 10,000 troops of the Golden Horde are indeed the elite of Dayan Khan. Both their momentum and the strength of their soldiers are extraordinary. From a distance, you can feel a mountain of pressure just by looking at them.
When the leading Tatar generals saw the Ming cavalry led by Qi Zhen from a distance, excitement and cruelty suddenly flashed in their eyes.
One of the Qianhus waved his scimitar and shouted loudly, while behind him, countless elite cavalry also bent their bows and nocked arrows or drew their scimitars.
Although Qi Zhen said he was deeply shocked, he was mentally prepared and did not lose his mind. He just ordered his men to fire arrows from a distance.
Arrows fell like rain. Because Qi Zhen had no intention of confronting the Tatars, he did not wait for the Tatars to rush forward and ordered the arrows to be fired.
Therefore, this wave of arrows seemed to be quite powerful, but very few of them could actually hurt the Tatars. Also because of the range, the Tatars did not fire arrows and could only watch Qi Zhen and others.
After shooting a hail of arrows, he turned around and ran away.
Seeing this situation, the leading Tatar Qianhu official couldn't help roaring and urging his men to pursue them.
Among the central army, Ma Guli, Alborod and other core members of the army immediately received the news from the front.
Alborot's eyes lit up and he said to Ma Guli: "It seems that we have encountered the vanguard of the Ming army. The Ming army will be ready soon after they get the news of our raid."
Ma Guli nodded slightly, and a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Since we met the vanguard of the Ming army here, it means that the Ming army was not prepared. Then Chen Shan once said that Wang Yangming gathered a large number of artillery, trying to
Firearms are used to deal with our cavalry, but the artillery array takes time, so it depends on whether we can seize this time difference."
Alborod's eyes flashed with excitement and said: "This is our chance to severely injure Wang Yangming. Even if we cannot kill Wang Yangming, we must at least destroy all the artillery of the Ming army. If we can destroy the Ming army in one battle,
If we don’t have firearms to support our battle, then how can the Ming army be our opponent? Even Father Khan doesn’t have to retreat in such a hurry and can return to the grassland in a leisurely manner.”
The Tatars had seen how powerful the Ming army's artillery was in the previous battles between the two sides.
Wang Yangming was in charge of the central army, and he was well-organized. With the advantage of the camp and the power of the artillery, the Tatars were unable to take any advantage.
Therefore, the Tatars were extremely afraid of the Ming army's firearms.
Now that he had the opportunity to destroy most of the Ming army's firearms, let alone Nu Guli, even if Dayan Khan were here, he would choose to give it a try whenever he had the chance.
Nu Guli took a deep breath and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Blow the horn and order the entire army to charge quickly. We must rush into the Ming army camp in the shortest possible time and destroy the Ming army's firearms."
The sound of the horn echoed in the air, and the speed of the Tatar army, which was already galloping, increased again after hearing the sound of the horn.
Thousands of horses galloping, smoke and dust billowing, like a landslide and tsunami.
In the camp, Wang Yangming suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help laughing.
"coming!"
After learning that Dayan Khan ordered Ma Guli to lead more than 10,000 Golden Horde Khan troops to cut off the rear, Wang Yangming began to think about how to kill this elite Tatar army.
If this army of the Golden Horde was eaten, then the blow to Dayan Khan would definitely be greater than the annihilation of tens of thousands of miscellaneous soldiers.
After calming down, Wang Yangming said to the generals beside him: "Act according to the plan."
Naturally, several generals knew Wang Yangming's plan. Seeing that the Tatars had fallen into the trap, all of their faces showed excitement.
At this time, after listening to Wang Yangming's order, they immediately bowed to Wang Yangming and left to follow Wang Yangming's instructions.
Qi Zhen led more than a thousand horsemen to run wildly. The roars and roars of the Golden Horde Army behind him and the shocking sound of horse hooves were really like a landslide and a tsunami.
An ordinary person would be scared out of his wits just hearing the noise behind him, but Qi Zhen looked back from time to time to make sure that the Tatars were following closely, with a somewhat relaxed expression on his face.
color.
However, Qi Zhen cursed and said: "Damn, they are indeed elite Tatars. If the Golden Horde army encounters them head-on, they may not be able to overwhelm them even if they don't have twice as many troops."
Qi Zhen said with a smile on his lips: "It's a pity that after today, I don't know how many of the more than 10,000 Golden Horde troops will be left!"
The Tatars didn't know it, but he knew that just ahead, Wang Yangming had set up an artillery position, with hundreds of large and small artillery pieces and thousands of musketry soldiers waiting in full array.
Although the Golden Horde army can be called elite, the Ming army's cavalry may not be able to compete in a head-to-head confrontation. However, facing the bombardment of hundreds of artillery, it doesn't matter how elite the cavalry is. How can flesh and blood compete with firearms.
Just as they were approaching the Ming army's position, Qi Zhen suddenly heard a loud roar, and more than a thousand cavalry behind him immediately divided into two teams and headed towards the two wings of the military formation.
Qi Zhen led his men and horses to avoid the front of the military formation, and in the blink of an eye the Tatar army chasing after him appeared in sight.
Qi Zhen could move towards the two wings, but the Tatar army came to rush into the formation and destroy the Ming army's artillery, so they naturally chose to rush towards the Ming army camp.
The sound of the horn changed again, and one could hear the high-spiritedness and intensity of the horn, clearly urging the army to charge into battle.
At this time, Wang Yangming stood in front of an artillery piece, holding a telescope in his hand. Through the telescope, Wang Yangming could clearly see the movements of the Tatar army.
Putting down the telescope, Wang Yangming showed a smile and said softly: "I never thought that the general would create such a wonderful thing. It is really a magical weapon for the general."
Needless to say, the telescope was made of colored glaze by a skilled craftsman selected by Li Huan. There were only a few pieces, and one of them was given to Wang Yangming by Li Huan.
The ground shook slightly, and on the Ming army's position, many soldiers could vaguely see the torrent of cavalry a few miles ahead. The soldiers watched the torrent of cavalry roaring towards them like a landslide, and their hearts tightened.
At this moment, Wang Yangming's voice suddenly sounded: "Artillery, ignite the fire!"
The heralds with loud voices then shouted to convey Wang Yangming's order.
In an instant, the fuses of each artillery piece were ignited. In just a few breaths, each artillery piece roared, and in an instant, the roar like thunder lingered in my ears.
Smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the entire artillery position, and the strong smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, but these artillerymen worked desperately to fill the gunpowder, projectile and then fired again.
Hundreds of artillery suddenly fired a volley, and the momentum was shocking. At this time, the Tatar cavalry had rushed to a distance of more than a hundred feet in front of the position. This distance can be said to be quite close to the Ming army, that is, dozens of breaths.
With Kung Fu, he can break into the Ming army.
Many Tatars showed excitement and ferocity in their eyes.
But the next moment, there was a sudden thunderous explosion among the Ming army, and they saw streaks of fire flashing past, and projectiles whizzing towards them one after another.
Hundreds of projectiles slammed into the Tatar army like a god of death, and suddenly a scream was heard.
It can be said that except for a few individual projectiles, almost all projectiles took away the lives of more than one or two Tatars like the god of death.
Under the first wave of shelling, hundreds of projectiles plowed hundreds of bloody ravines among the Tatar cavalry. More than 2,000 Tatar soldiers were directly killed or injured.
With just this one blow, the Tatars were stunned by the ferocious and dense power of artillery.
Have they ever experienced such a ferocious and terrifying bombardment? You must know that even if they have seen the power of the Ming army's firearms, like cannon bombardment, the Ming army mostly used dozens or dozens of cannons to blast with one blast.
As long as they survive one or two rounds of shelling, they can rush forward.
However, they had never seen hundreds of artillery pieces concentrated together for bombardment like this before. They had never seen such a scale and momentum.
Although most of the hundreds of artillery are small and medium-sized artillery, the power can only be said to be average, but there are too many to hold it. In addition, Wang Yangming prepared it in advance, and the unprepared Tatars can be said to be attacked.
With a blow to the head, he was immediately blown away.
Among the Tatar central army, although Alborod and others in Ma Guli were not at the forefront, they were still among the central army. In fact, they were only a few miles away from the Ming army's position.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the Ming army's position and destroy the Ming army's firearms, Alborod was full of expectations in his bones.
However, as the roar came, both Ma Guli and Alborot changed their expressions.
Even though they couldn't see what was happening in front of them, they could hear the thundering sound of artillery fire clearly. It was not the roar of one or two or dozens of artillery pieces, but at least hundreds of artillery pieces.
.
Thinking of what Chen Shan said before, Wang Yangming collected almost all the artillery in the army, hundreds of them.
At that time, I had a vague feeling that these artillery pieces were a big threat, so I thought of taking advantage of the Ming army's unprepared march and launching a surprise attack using the superiority of the cavalry to destroy these artillery pieces in one fell swoop.
Normally, there was nothing wrong with Ma Guli's choice, and it could even be said that there was no problem at all. But the mistake was that Ma Guli's choice was within Wang Yangming's expectations, and Wang Yangming even waited here specially for their arrival.
Being able to be valued by Dayan Khan, Ma Guli is naturally not a fool. He immediately reacted and said with a solemn expression: "No, we have fallen into a trap."
Alborod was already frightened by the continuous sound of artillery, and he said to Ma Guli with a confused look: "Ma Guli, think of a way quickly, what should we do, what should we do!
"
After a wave of shelling, the artillery naturally needed to be refilled with gunpowder pellets, so after the brief roar, what was heard in the bones was the screams and wails from the Golden Horde army ahead.
A stern look flashed in his eyes, and Nu Guli raised the scimitar in his hand and roared: "Send the order, charge me, and destroy the Ming army's artillery no matter what."
At this time, Ma Guli had seen the horrific damage caused by hundreds of artillery salvos to the cavalry. Ma Guli was also a ruthless and decisive person. He made up his mind almost immediately and spent all these ten thousand people.
Yujinzhang Khan's army must also destroy the Ming army's artillery.
The Golden Horde Army is truly an elite Tatar force. The shelling just now was like a mountain falling apart. If it had been an ordinary cavalry team, they would have collapsed.
However, the Golden Horde Khan army did not collapse. Instead, under the orders of Ma Guli, they continued to charge towards the Ming army like desperadoes.
In the artillery position, Wang Yangming said to a general: "I will go to the front to supervise the battle. You stay here and make sure the bombardment continues."
The tragic situation of the Tatar cavalry being fired upon by artillery fire was seen by many people. After hearing Wang Yangming's order, the general immediately accepted the order and said: "Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will personally take charge of the situation. Whoever dares not to help
I blasted those Tatars to death, and the general chopped off his head."
Wang Yangming's figure appeared in the area where the fire gun soldiers were dozens of feet away.
Groups of soldiers were now arranging and preparing with firecrackers in hand, aiming their firecrackers forward, just waiting for the Tatar cavalry to enter the shooting range.
Regarding the use of firearms, the Ming army has already had a complete set of methods of use for hundreds of years. The segmented shooting method of firecrackers is actually not new to the Ming army. It can even be said to be the most basic method of use.
At this moment, thousands of firecrackers were divided into several columns, arranged neatly, and the black firecrackers were pointed at the front, giving people a great pressure.
The rumbling sound of artillery shelling sounded again, and as the smoke filled the air, hundreds of projectiles flew out. Even though the Tatars were prepared this time, the power of the shelling from hundreds of artillery guns was still earth-shattering.
Although the number of Tatar casualties this time was much lower than the first time, there were still nearly a thousand casualties.
At this time, the Tatar cavalry who rushed at the front and luckily escaped death had already approached the Ming army's position.
There are obstacles such as horses and horses in front of the position, which can slow down the Tatar cavalry's impact speed to a certain extent.
Of course, it is simply not realistic to expect these obstacles to cause some minor trouble to the Tatar cavalry at most. It is simply unrealistic to expect these obstacles to prevent the Tatars from charging into battle.
At this time, the fire rifle soldiers in the forefront could even clearly see the Tatars dozens of feet away. The cavalry charge was the most terrifying. Many fire rifle soldiers could not help but express nervousness and fear when looking at the roaring Tatars.
color.
If it were not for the generals of the Ming army who were rushing back and forth and roaring to stabilize the morale of the troops, I am afraid that some people could not bear the pressure and fired their fire cannons.
Wang Yangming was standing in the most eye-catching position nearby. As long as the fire gun soldiers raised their eyes, they could clearly see Wang Yangming's figure.
It has to be said that Wang Yangming's figure was like a sea-fixing needle that calmed the minds of thousands of people. For these soldiers.
His own coach was not afraid of death and stood here with them to face the Tatars. What else did they have to fear? It was just a joke.
The Ming army has always had no shortage of brave men. A soldier is as powerful as a general, and a general is as powerful as a nest. It can be said that the soldiers will be courageous. This is true at all.
With just one battle, Wang Yangming completely calmed the courage of the army, and even the high-spirited fighting spirit rose in the eyes of many soldiers.
As the Tatar cavalry got closer and closer, thirty feet, twenty feet...
At this moment, a loud shout came, and with Wang Yangming's order, the firecrackers who had already been prepared immediately fired their firearms.
Along with the roar, the first wave of nearly a thousand muskets was fired, and the lethality of the hail of bullets was simply astonishing.
Facing the volleys of nearly a thousand muskets, especially at such a close distance, almost instantly, the hundreds of cavalrymen who rushed forward screamed and fell off their horses as if they had hit an invisible iron wall.
Accompanied by the roar of the Ming army generals, the first row of gunpowder soldiers who completed their firing immediately rushed towards the two wings and entered the rear of the queue to start filling the gunpowder projectiles.
"put!"
Another wave of volleys filled the air, and the choking smoke filled the nostrils, but it could not cover up the pungent smell of blood.
Hundreds of cavalrymen fell again twenty or thirty feet away from the gunmen. The distance of several dozen feet seemed to have become a natural chasm, which the Tatars could not cross.
At this time, Ma Guli, who had rushed to the front, saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he roared and drove the soldiers to attack.
"Damn it, I will destroy the Ming army's firearms even if I die."
The sound of bombing came, and in the Ming army's position, an artillery suddenly exploded, and more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
The soldiers who were busy filling gunpowder bullets not far away were startled when they saw this scene, but they quickly continued to fill the gunpowder without being affected.
The artillery only explodes the chamber, and the use of firearms is inherently full of dangers. Various accidents may occur, whether it is the wear and tear of the firearm or the amount of gunpowder filling.
When hundreds of artillery fire like this, it is normal for one or two artillery to explode. Fortunately, Wang Yangming was prepared for this in advance, and kept a safe distance from every artillery, even when storing gunpowder.
There is also a certain distance from the artillery. It would be better for the soldiers to run a few more steps to avoid all accidents as much as possible.
When the general who was stationed at the artillery position saw this situation, he immediately roared to appease the soldiers, and at the same time urged all the soldiers to continue shelling the Tatars.
Another volley of artillery fire took away the lives of hundreds of Tatar soldiers again.
At the same time, three or four lines of soldiers had been replaced by the fire gun soldiers. Several waves of volleys forced the Tatars to stop dozens of feet away, unable to move forward.
