Even though Huang Taiji wanted to chop Bales into pieces now, he could only quickly adjust his tactics and subordinates.
He immediately ordered that all the Mongolian cavalry harassed by guerrillas should be collected, and the two white flags should be placed in position to prepare for the attack. They could attack, retreat or defend at such a close distance.
As for Bars, who was already fighting and strangled with the Ming army, he did not intend to assist him for the time being.
People will die in war, not to mention that this Ming army is all light cavalry.
There were only a few thousand people in total, but Bals had more than 3,000 people, so it would be easy to eat them.
After all, this was just the vanguard of the Ming army. The real main force was the armored cavalry chasing after them.
The battle between cavalry is all about patience and tactics.
Li Wensheng did not march at full speed to catch up. Although his speed was not slow, compared with the light cavalry,
Still a lot slower.
Those two thousand pioneers,
He had already made a plan to annihilate the entire army. As long as they could bite the enemy and wait for his eight thousand fresh troops to arrive, it would be worth it even if they died.
It's not that he is ruthless, it's just a helpless move forced by the situation.
If we don't do this, not only the two thousand people will die, but the ten thousand cavalry may have to be accounted for here.
The enemy's strength is three times his. If he doesn't make up his mind and give up something, it will be really difficult for him to win this battle.
"Don't leave the Tartars. The general's main force is behind us. As long as we hold on for a while, reinforcements will come."
As the general of these two thousand soldiers, Li Wei did not fight with the Mongols, but continued to command the troops and improve their morale.
The effect is also significant. Although the Ming army only had a few thousand troops,
But under his dispatch and command, the Ming army, which had tactical coordination, rushed left and right on the battlefield, charging back and forth.
The Mongols, relying solely on their bravery without any sense of tactical coordination, were nothing more than a piece of scattered sand even in large numbers, and were thrown into disarray by the Ming army.
"What are they waiting for?"
It would be fine if Huang Taiji's Liangbaiqi and Horqin tribes didn't come to help him, but these tribal leaders, who used to be brothers, drank and talked, and advanced and retreated together, actually stood aside and watched.
Many of their tribesmen fell into the hands of the Ming army. Like themselves, they had a blood feud with the Ming army.
It really puzzled him and made him extremely disappointed.
At this time, he finally saw the true face of these people, but he had no choice but to fight like this.
He could only fight to the end.
He didn't believe it,
He has more than 3,000 warriors, but they can't defeat him without iron armor for protection.
There were only a thousand Ming army cavalry.
But the facts gave him a loud slap in the face. It didn't take long for his group of more than 3,000 people to retreat.
The soldiers of the Ming Army were already prepared to die, but the Mongols had no such mental preparation and could not stop the desperate Ming Army cavalry.
I thought this would be a crushing battle, a hunt for them.
In desperation, Bals had to send people to ask other tribal leaders to help him.
Although they all had their own agendas, they were allies after all. Seeing that Bals could no longer stand it, several other tribes led their own armies and rushed into the battlefield to support him.
There are more than 7,000 young and strong cavalry from the four tribes, which is like Mount Tai weighing down the Ming army's cavalry, which is already insufficient in number.
But at this moment, Li Wensheng led eight thousand armored cavalry and finally arrived belatedly.
Seeing that Li Wei had really captured the enemy, Li Wensheng was overjoyed. His eight thousand armored cavalry would definitely be able to decide the outcome in a single battle.
After changing their horses, under Li Wensheng's military order, the Ming army immediately began to charge.
Bals was panicked when he saw the main force of the Ming army rushing towards him.
Before the Mongols could react, the Ming army's armored cavalry rushed into the formation.
The poorly equipped Mongols could not withstand the charge of the armored cavalry, and their scimitars could not break through the iron armor of the Ming army.
And the sabers made of fine iron by the Ming army were effective with one blow, whether they were cutting people or horses.
Moreover, the Mongols were not good at close combat. Although the numbers of the two armies were evenly matched, the Ming army had the upper hand, and the Mongolian formation was instantly smashed to pieces.
"Inadequate success and more than failure. This Bars has ruined Benbeile's big business."
"These Mongols are really useless. The Ming army just charged and couldn't resist them."
Huang Taiji, who had been watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but curse loudly.
Originally, everything had been planned, and the battlefield situation and active weapons were under his control, but Baars went into battle without permission and messed up his subordinates.
To be defeated in such a short period of time is really a waste.
But there is no way, after all, he has surrendered to Daikin. If he really refuses to save him, then Daikin's prestige on the grassland will be greatly damaged.
These newly surrendered tribes will also turn away from Germany, and it will become more and more difficult to expand their power and conquer Mongolia in the future.
This has a profound impact on the future and great cause of Daikin, and Huang Taiji knows the key to it.
"Have Horqin's soldiers and horses, and a flag officer from each of the two white flags, rush to the battle to assist. We must annihilate the Ming army."
Three thousand elite armored banner men, plus Horqin's five thousand cavalry, were more than enough in Huang Taiji's opinion.
The melee between the two armies intensified. The Mongols were about to be defeated, but the support of Jiannu allowed them to stabilize their position.
Li Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiannu's troops joining the battlefield. He had already won half of the battle.
He dared to take the initiative to find a decisive battle with the enemy, relying on more than just the Ming army's iron armor and sharp sabers.
It was a newly equipped handgun. Although only some people had it, he had already seen the power of the handgun.
Although it does not have the range and power of a fire gun, it is already a powerful weapon at such a close range.
The reason why the hand gun is equipped is to break armor, especially Jiannu's thick armor. No matter how fine and sharp the saber is, it cannot break through heavy armor.
But when it comes to handguns, it doesn't matter whether you have heavy armor or not. As long as you hit, you will either die or be injured.
Sure enough, when Jian Nu's 3,000 heavily armored banner men rushed into the battlefield, before they could get close to the Ming army, the Ming army had already pulled out their muskets.
After a burst of crackling gunfire, there were many corpses of Jiannu wearing heavy armor on the desert land.
Seeing that the compatriots who had charged with him just now fell to the ground and turned into dead bodies in the blink of an eye, many Jiannu slaves did not even react.
Then the Ming army began a new round of counterattack, and Li Wensheng personally led more than a hundred elite cavalry, taking the lead, directly into the crowd of Jiannu.
And the weapons in their hands are no longer sabers, but hammers, heavy axes and other strike weapons, all specially prepared for the heavy armor of the slaves.
Although it cannot kill with one blow, compared to the thin saber, the lethality is still great.
The Eight Banners warriors that Huang Taiji was proud of were scattered by the Ming army before they could be deployed.
Especially the handguns of the Ming army, they were simply invincible. Jiannu's heavy armor was as brittle as paper in front of the handguns.
