Batur Ut wants to capture Zhu Jianji alive, and Zhu Jianji wants to annihilate most of Batur Ut's active forces here to buy time and space for the development of the Ming Dynasty.
Both sides have the same goal.
Very understanding.
Each marched halfway, and the decisive battle took place in Yingzhong Gorge.
In other words, once one party loses, there is no room for retreat.
Scouts kept coming and going.
Timely convey the enemy's latest movements.
Zhu Jianji carried a Dongfeng sniper rifle on his back and rode slowly on horseback. The nine thousand young Donggong troops all had solemn expressions and excitement in their hearts. The dull sound of horse hooves echoed in Yingzuo Gorge.
A thousand more people followed at the end.
It's a mortar unit.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the mortar unit must fire accurately and not clear the opponent's ground in advance.
In the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, once the war begins, do not save ammunition.
Let’s fight with all our strength today.
After the battle, the ammunition transported by the troops responsible for logistics arrived in Hami just in the evening. At that time, the young army rested and replenished ammunition, so that they could face Dulbert's department tomorrow.
The tactics were decided last night.
It was mainly formulated by Wang Yue.
Zhu Jianji checked and filled in the gaps.
Arriving at the middle of Yingzhong Gorge, Zhu Jianji said to Wang Yue: "Let Erlang arrange the formation according to the tactics agreed on last night, and try to fully exert the lethality of the nine thousand Dongfeng rifles."
Wang Yue smiled and said: "Your Highness, put it down. Each of the men has fifty bullets, which is enough. As long as we spread out the formation, Batu Erte's cavalry will not be able to get within fifty steps of us."
As long as they can keep their distance, it is almost impossible for the East Palace Young Army to lose.
There is enough ammunition.
The lethality is enough.
And the enemy's crossbow range is not as good as the Dongfeng rifle.
Zhu Jianji said calmly: "Don't underestimate the enemy. Things are changing rapidly on the battlefield. Even if we have a 90% chance of winning, we must fight with 100% of our strength."
Your biggest enemy is often yourself.
Especially since it was the first time for the Donggong Young Army to engage in such a large-scale team battle.
The enemy has 50,000 cavalry.
The black cavalry rushed up, fearing that the psychological quality of the young soldiers was not up to par - there was no need to worry about the military quality, after all, they had been practicing for so many years.
But there is a problem.
Unaccustomed to the environment.
The altitude of Gyeonggi is only a few dozen meters, while the altitude of Hami is more than 2,000 meters. Although more than 2,000 meters is nothing, some young sergeants who have been in Gyeonggi all year round still developed symptoms after stroke.
It's nothing serious.
But they are afraid that psychological stress will cause serious altitude sickness.
So don't be careless.
Wang Yue said: "Your Highness, don't worry. We, together with you, will make the Dongfeng Rifle the most dazzling rainbow light in the world!"
Zhu Jianji hummed.
He said to the three princes behind him: "Gong Cheng has been guarding Nanjing for many years and is familiar with military affairs. There is no need to observe in the formation of the young army. You will follow me to ambush later. Duke Zhang Mao of England and Xu Yan of Wei will stay with Wang Yue."
, learn new tactics with firearms.”
The three princes immediately accepted the decree.
Zhu Jianji raised his head and carefully observed the stone mountains on both sides, and said to Dai Yi, Zhao Mu, Bai Qingzhi and other seven eunuchs: "You and Cheng Guogong, follow me to snipe the high point."
Dongfeng rifle annihilates the enemy.
Dongfeng mortars plow the fields.
Dongfeng sniper rifle beheads!
The improved Dongfeng sniper rifle, with the improvement of the barrel's rifling technology, the improvement of gunpowder and the improvement of bullet technology performance, has a range of more than a thousand steps.
Accurate shooting has been improved to about 800 steps.
It is entirely possible to snipe the enemy leader.
A group of nine people, led by Zhu Jianji, ran towards the rocky mountain on the left. They did not need to ambush too high, as long as they could form a condescending advantage. The main thing was to ensure the range and at the same time not to be surrounded and suppressed by Batu Erte.
So this position cannot be too far forward.
Once the sniper kill is successful or failed, you can quickly return to the defensive circle of the young army when you retreat.
Arriving on a high ground in Shishan, three hundred steps away from the young army and five hundred steps away from the battlefield, and able to overlook the entire battle situation from a high position, Zhu Jianji asked Dai Yi and others to hide their horses.
Order everyone to load their guns.
Eight people, eight Dongfeng sniper rifles, the black muzzles pointed at the battlefield.
Turning back to Zhu Yi, he said: "You should also lie down on your knees. Don't be discovered by Batu Erte's scouts. Otherwise, if you expose your target, you are likely to be surrounded by enemy troops."
Zhu Yi immediately accepted the order.
In the distance, smoke and dust can be seen billowing.
The sound of iron hooves is like muffled thunder.
A thick black cloud slowly and heavily pressed over with an astonishing force. Fifty thousand cavalry came pressing down on the formation. The strong sense of oppression could make people breathe hard.
Zhu Jianji was greatly shocked.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. Now I finally understand why Mobei has been a serious problem for my Central Plains dynasty since ancient times."
Mobei Erlang is truly a man born in the battlefield.
In the era of cold weapons, Mobei was definitely the king of individual combat.
The Central Plains Dynasty was at a disadvantage most of the time in its war against Mobei. When it was at an advantage, it was when the country was prosperous and famous generals emerged in large numbers, relying on its advantages in material resources, population and equipment.
It is also known that the general has a strategy.
Otherwise, the chances of winning against the Mobei Iron Cavalry are really slim.
Looking at it this way, Huo Qubing, who was sealed as a wolf and lived in Xu, is really a genius who astonished time and space.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Dai Yi and others: "Listen to Gu's orders later. Although we have eight sniper rifles, we are still far away and may be out of range. Therefore, we are not absolutely sure and cannot easily alert the snake. Once a shot is fired,
We must ensure that we hit the target with one hit. Let’s simply divide the work. Three of them, Gu, Zhao Mu, and Bai Qingzhi, will snipe Batu Erte, and the remaining five will keep an eye on the senior generals around Batur Erte. In addition, according to our
According to the news that came back from me, Couldai of the Torgut tribe has his heart set on the Ming Dynasty, so we don’t need to snipe him."
Zhu Jianji remembered that the Torgut tribe had a heroic feat of returning eastward.
Therefore, he did not intend to kill Torgut's men.
Everyone took orders.
Zhu Yi smiled and said: "Wei Chen believes that we can receive the same treatment as the Uighur tribe in Hami and move the Turghut tribe into the Hetao area to fill the population and border troops and strengthen our Ming Dynasty's control over the Hetao area."
Zhu Jianji hummed, "I also have this intention."
Suddenly something came to mind.
The Uighurs of Hami have been in the Hami area since the Ming Dynasty, that is, they have become people from Xinjiang, Uighurs... Uighurs!
In this way, the women Nuwen sent to him as gifts were actually Uyghur beauties.
Huh...
How can I think about those things at this time?
Zhu Jianji calmed down and used the scope of the Dongfeng sniper rifle to pay close attention to the movements of Batu Erte's army that was slowly approaching. This was the most important battle for the young army.
You can only win but not lose.
If you win, in the future, when you expand your army, ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for money, and ask the Ministry of Industry for steel and gunpowder, you will receive maximum support. In this way, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty will be on a broad road.
Batu Erte led his army and came, looking at the formation of the young army not far away, he was a little confused.
What's the situation?
Daming doesn't play by the rules.
There were only ten thousand cavalry in total, and they were actually spread out in a fan-shaped formation.
Is it because the formation is not thin enough?
With a fan shape, your side can easily penetrate the formation with just one charge!
This posture...
Zhu Jianji doesn’t plan to collide with his cavalry?
But the problem is that if the cavalry does not charge, how can they use the maneuverability of the cavalry, how can they use the thunderous power of gathering momentum to strike, let alone stop the formation of the local cavalry!
What's the difference between Zhu Jianji's marching formation and committing suicide?
