Chapter 72 Fighting for Honor

After the great victory of Oaratumubao, he also led his army to attack the capital. However, the strength of the troops in Oara was much empty. Tuotuobuhua was originally a puppet Khan who was ignored, but now he relied on the iron army of the King's Eagle in his hands. , so he dared to be instigated by Zhu Jianwen Hongyan's letter, and the joint minister A La entangled all the ministries to fight to the death, hoping to become the Great Khan of the bursts.

Although Tuo Tuo Bu Hua has the heroic spirit and courage of his ancestors in his blood, these six thousand soldiers and horses were not enough to accomplish the task. They were defeated in the capital and then were bombarded. Later, after learning about Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's seizure of power, he was even more dismayed. Furious, he led his troops back to Oara. He was worthy of being a hero of the time. He was hereditary in charge of Oara and was a king in the true sense. He also fulfilled the wishes of his grandfather and father, so that Oara would no longer have civil war and become extremely powerful. , if Tuo Tuo Bu Hua did not have this opponent, he might have been able to succeed, but again, he was defeated in front of this generation of wise kings who had opened up new territories in Wala. He could only be captured after a series of defeats, and the uprising had not even begun. Declared a failure, the Iron Army of the King's Eagle saw that their sweat was weak, so they could only obey orders, lay down their weapons and surrender,

At first, he forgave Totuo Buhua and the rebellious King Eagle with kindness, but not long after, he also deposed Totuo Buhua, established himself as a khan, suppressed all the opposition, and conquered all dissatisfaction with his own strength. of people, the Eagle of Kings has also become a low-level army, eating the worst food, living in the most dilapidated yurts, and riding not strong and mature horses but rogue horses that even the Han people disdain to have.

The good times did not last long after Ye Xian became a Khan. Qimude, the guardian of the ghost witch, and Ala (this Ala is not Bi Ala) assassinated the leader of the ghost witch Meng He, and also killed Ye Xian and his younger brother. Wala fell into chaos. , the tribesmen from all sides began to fight against each other for several years, showing the habitual ferocious nature of internal fighting. However, no matter how they fought, no one dared to win over the Eagle of Kings. Although this army of 6,000 people was powerful, This is an army that has rebelled. How could the Mongols, who were more suspicious, tolerate this group of people?

The 6,000 men and horses did not disperse, because there was no place to take refuge if they dispersed, so they could only huddle together for warmth. Fortunately, although they were poorly equipped and poorly fed, their combat power was there, and no one dared to harass or annex them, so they finally survived. Difficulty, now that the melee in Oara has calmed down, the leaders of all the ministries obey the orders of one person, and follow the orders of the supreme commander step by step. Even the ghosts and witches who have been in a group and never listen to the orders of the Khans have united and obeyed the orders. act,

The spring of the Eagle of Kings has come. Hei Buer finally met the supreme commander, a man with an iron mask. He knew that it was the legendary ghost witch leader Meng He. At the same time, he received the order to capture Datong. They equipped With enough food, they also replaced the horses and weapons they once owned. The Eagle of Kings was resurrected. They wanted to make contributions and repay Meng He's kindness. They also wanted to become famous and let others know that on the grassland. The most powerful cavalry are still them, the Eagle of the King,

This is why this group of cavalry is hiding under the sand dunes, eating this cold food, and still able to maintain their morale and fighting spirit. Everyone is waiting for the battle, not for the food, gold, silver and women of the Han people, but for the honor in their hearts.

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the wind was swirling. Although it was much warmer for the Central Plains at this time, it was still very cold at night near the edge of Mobei. The soldiers of the King's Eagle did not They set up yurts and tents, because this place did not allow it, and they did not bring anything with them. The warriors huddled in the sand pit and resisted the cold with their bodies.

Suddenly someone heard a movement, and then many people heard the noise. They picked up their weapons and became alert, and quickly gathered next to the horses to wait for the attack. The centurion whispered the name of the sentry, but no one answered. The Han finally They couldn't help but attack. Do they think that all of us Mongolians have night blindness? No, the king's eagle who once served as the guard of Totu Bohua Khan did not eat less vegetables, food, and fish, although he later lost a few Years ago, but it has not suffered from such problems. Since the Han people want to attack at night, let them go without return.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, neat and powerful. It can be heard that there are many people, about ten thousand people, but the King's Eagle is not afraid of twice as many Han infantry or what they call cavalry. At Bull's order, the knights got on their horses one after another, shouted and rushed towards the sandy slope.

The dunes are pocket-shaped, surrounded by three sides and open on one side. However, it does not mean that all three sides are equally steep. After all, it is sand, not stone, so only one side is steeper due to natural reasons. Maybe there are big rocks under the sand. The knights are facing towards He rushed up the gentle steep slopes on both sides. Hebull chose this place just to prevent the enemy from discovering him. However, he understood that if the enemy occupied a favorable position and hit him with bows and arrows from a high position, it would be quite disadvantageous, so he had already made a plan. , once there is an enemy attack, go uphill from both sides and go uphill separately in order to achieve the fastest speed. Once the place is relatively flat, the power of the cavalry will be unleashed. By then, when the troops are united, they can become A sharp one,

When the two teams of cavalry rushed up the slope, four rows of infantry suddenly appeared on the slope. Each of them was holding a blunderbuss, and then kicked down the wood and other objects placed in front of them with their legs. They bumped into many horses galloping upward. Immediately afterwards, the first row of soldiers fired their muskets. After a row of volleys, smoke filled the air. The smoke covered the sight of the infantry, but the casualties of the cavalry were very huge. Rows of knights fell off their horses before they even touched the enemy. Some of the horses were shot and the knights were thrown off their horses and then trampled to a pulp by their comrades behind them.

The first row of Ming Army gunners retreated to the end and started loading ammunition, then the second row began to design, then the third row, and finally the fourth row. At this time, the first row had already loaded and continued to advance and shoot. This kind of round shooting The method was improved by Zhu Jianwen based on the two-row firing method of Zhu Di, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. It can not only attack the enemy with powerful firearms, but also avoid the disadvantage of slow reloading of firearms. As long as there are enough people and the positions are arranged, they can take turns to attack the enemy. If When encountering a situation where the density of enemy troops is particularly high and the impact is extremely strong, the first row can kneel down and fire, while the second row stands and fires. Both rows fire at the same time, so that the four groups become two groups, although it is a little slower. But the intensity of the blow was also much greater,

It was useless at this moment. After all, the Mongolian cavalry was charging up a high slope. The density would not be too high, and they could not advance together. The smoke of gunpowder had blocked the sight of the Ming soldiers, but the enemy's people were all over the slope, and the gunmen were firing downwards. , there is no need to aim at all, so it doesn’t matter if there is smoke, there will always be Mongolian cavalry who will be hit and fall off their horses.
