Yang Fan watched Zhang Shize leading his troops out of the city and ordered: "Blow the trumpet and ask the 10,000 people blocking the front to withdraw."
Zhang Shize led the regiment out of the city and said to Yan Yingyuan who followed him: "You don't have to follow me to fight. You can escort all these prisoners back to the city."
Yan Yingyuan took the order and left.
At this time, the military bugle sounded on the top of the city. Zhang Shize immediately understood that this was an order for the troops fighting with the Oirat people in front to withdraw.
Zhang Shize understood that this was Yang Fan's attempt to reduce the casualties of his team and to separate them from the Oirat people.
There is only one purpose for leaving, and that is to cover them again with rockets.
What he has to do now is to reorganize the remaining 30,000 Beijing troops who can still fight, and then attack the Oirat people after the rockets cover them.
The first thing Zhang Shize did when he left the city was to arrange for regiment training to collect the prisoners and escort them back to the city.
The second thing is to reorganize the 30,000 Beijing troops under the city. Otherwise, they cannot attack the enemy.
This all takes time. Yang Fan planned to take advantage of Zhang Shize's busy time to have the 10,000 people blocking the front retreat so that he could attack the Oirat people with rockets.
Zhang Shize immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet, and the Beijing camp will assemble here immediately."
As the bugle sounded, the Beijing battalions scattered on the battlefield immediately returned to their troops, found their order of troops, and then gathered towards Zhang Shize's commanding flag.
At the front, there were more than 10,000 people fighting with the Oirat people, but now there were only 8,000 left.
After they heard the trumpet sound, they immediately took off a tinplate can hanging on their bodies, opened the lid a little to reveal the fuse, lit it, and threw it towards the Oirat people.
This thing is the inner core of the gunpowder jar that was thrown before. Everyone has a spare. At this time, they take turns to cover, light it and throw it out.
Boom boom boom, a burst of fire and smoke filled the air.
When the Oirats charged, they were already frightened by this bomb. Immediately, the fighting Oirats ran away in fear.
Then, these Beijing soldiers immediately turned around and ran away.
When the smoke cleared, the Oirat people discovered that these Beijing camps had already moved far away. In the distance, the reorganized 30,000 Beijing camps and this 10,000 Beijing camp had merged together.
After today's continuous hard battles, after the troops were united, the Beijing camp also suffered more than 6,000 casualties. There were probably about 34,000 people there. And there were only less than 20,000 people in Oirat left.
They saw the rapid changes in the formation there, and it was obvious that they were returning to their respective teams and resuming their formation.
The Qianhu people also started to form a team. If they didn't form a team, they would rush forward in a chaotic manner to attack the dignified formation. They would only be the ones who would suffer.
Because they have dismounted and are now fighting as infantry. For infantry fighting, they must form a formation. One side cannot be in a tight formation. The other side is a mess of stragglers.
Yang Fan's goal was achieved. The two parties have separated.
The Oirat people were forming their formation at the position where the blocking force had originally been.
In this era, infantry battles are all in dense formations. It is good for rockets to cover them. If they are all stragglers, the effect of using rockets is not good.
"Two thousand rockets, target the Oirat infantry array, launch." Yang Fan gave the order. The city wall lit up again, and Kangolev rockets shot into the sky, spraying flames.
It's like gorgeous fireworks rising, but these fireworks are not used to celebrate the festival. They are used to cover the enemy's military formation.
When Gushi Khan saw this, his face turned pale.
He had never thought that the first people to be unable to hold on would be those from Haixi Mongolia and the Seventh Division of Kansai. He was very angry. He sent 30,000 cavalry to rescue them, but they still could not hold on and were finished so quickly.
After Gushi Khan saw the whole team assembled in the Beijing camp, he immediately wanted to withdraw the less than 20,000 people left.
Because the person they wanted to rescue was already dead, and they could no longer form the front and rear pincer attack he had expected.
At this time, one-third of his cavalry was lost, and the cavalry was converted into infantry. The enemy's numbers were overwhelming. The battlefield situation had reversed.
Moreover, judging from the battles during this period, our side really has no advantage in fighting on foot. This can be seen in today's fight. The opponent's equipment and training are better than our side.
But just when he was thinking clearly and preparing to order a retreat, countless flying bolides flew up from the wall opposite.
He was very familiar with this thing. This was the thing that Yang Fan used to burn the city back in Linhe City. Today, when the cavalry charged, only two hundred were fired from the city wall. Although it caused them considerable losses, he
I thought there weren't many of them here in Jingying. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fired so few.
Unexpectedly, Jingying was so cunning and could hide so many of these things.
Last time, they were all in their sleep and did not witness the spectacular scene of thousands of rockets being launched together. This time, Yang Fan made up for it for them.
It was too late to do anything now. Gushihan sighed.
Two thousand rockets arrived in an instant, and at least 800 of them fell into the densely formed Oirat army formation.
Boom boom boom! Countless fireballs rose in the dark night.
These were basically high-explosive bombs, with warheads weighing twenty kilograms. The power of the explosion should not be underestimated. Immediately, countless Oirat people were blown up in the military formation, and shrapnel swept across a distance of more than ten meters. The people fell down like mowing grass.
.
The people of Oirat were blown away. When they charged, they were baptized by 200 rockets once, but the number was small that time, and because the wind was blowing at the time, their accuracy was poor.
This time, the coverage of eight hundred rockets directly knocked the people they bombed off their feet. Those who were not hit by the shrapnel also screamed and ran around in fear.
At this moment, there was another round of launch. On the north wall of Jiuyuan City, countless rockets once again rose like flying fireballs. Then, there was another round of coverage.
The Oirat people were bombed again and pieces flew into the air.
This is not over yet. Another round of launches follows.
The muscles on Gushi Khan's face were trembling, and his lips were blue. He saw that there were thousands of rockets fired each time. Although he did not know how many rockets were launched these three times, he knew that his 30,000 cavalry were finished.
The remaining 20,000 yuan cannot be saved.
There was another dense covering explosion. Countless orange-red fireballs lit up the night sky.
The smoke cleared, and people were wailing all over the place. Broken limbs and broken arms were scattered everywhere.
The remaining people who were not killed or injured had their eyes dazed and were stunned by the explosion. They had not recovered from the shock at all.
Zhang Shize was riding on his horse and looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Without these rockets, I don't know how many people in the Beijing Camp would have died tonight. Whether they could win or not was unknown.
Chirp! Zhang Shize lightly touched the belly of the war horse with his spur. The war horse Huilülu screamed and immediately ran. Fifteen hundred servants and cavalry followed closely behind, charging towards the Oirat people.
Thirty-four thousand Beijing infantrymen immediately followed the cavalry and charged forward.
