Gasilan was horrified to find that the ten thousand men under the attack seemed to be charging, but in fact they ran into a pocket.
On the front, there was a dense volley of fire cannons.
The encounter is the same from the side.
What Jasilan couldn't understand even more was that as soon as he reached a hundred steps away, the Ming Dynasty's volley of firecrackers turned his soldiers upside down, and hundreds of them were killed in an instant.
How terrifying!
When did the Ming Dynasty's fire cannons have a range of more than a hundred steps?
When can we have such terrifying and unparalleled lethality? Before we even meet, our own side has suffered hundreds of battle losses. And it’s not over yet. The soldiers at the front fell on their backs, and those who followed did not escape the same fate.
.
The Minkeli soldiers within two hundred steps fell in groups under the dense fire cannons.
Especially the firecrackers that were lying on the ground and operated by two people. Although they were ten steps apart from each other, they sprayed out a ball of flame, causing bullets to pour out like a rain forest.
On the huge fan-shaped array, there were about a hundred such fire cannons, firing wildly.
Bullets rained down.
A dense firepower network was formed!
There is no need for shooting accuracy at all. Under this rain curtain, Jifang Erlang has no room to hide.
But what else can be done?
Just rush!
It's too late to retreat now.
On the one hand, if the war horses are running wildly and are stopped suddenly, the horses behind them will not be able to stop in time, and they will collide with each other. At that time, the horses will be turned upside down, trampling each other, killing and injuring countless people.
It will even lead to chaos in the formation, leaving you with no power to fight back.
Moreover, once the charge is stalled, it will also hinder the forward direction of the Jungle's cavalry. After the war, Garthlan was blamed, and he could not bear the consequences - if he was timid, the warriors of the Jungle's tribe would replace him in minutes.
Prairie boy, there is no one who is afraid of death!
So the only option is to rush.
Braving the hail of bullets and charging without fear of death.
But what awaited them was the bullets spouting wildly from the flames of the God of Death, and the salvos of more than 8,000 Dongfeng rifles. Every breath was filled with a web of firepower woven by thousands of bullets.
dead.
People are dying every minute and every second.
Then Gasilan expressed despair. No matter how brave his men were, no matter how fast their cavalry was, this short distance of a hundred steps was as insurmountable as a natural chasm.
All the Minkeli soldiers within two hundred steps of the Ming Dynasty's East Palace infantry soon died!
The soldiers who followed rushed two hundred steps forward and continued to fight to their death.
It's not even close!
The strange thing is that Jiasilan is intact today, and the dozen or so men who are following him seem to be favored by the immortal god and are not attacked by the muskets of the Ming Dynasty's young army.
I rushed within fifty steps today!
Then……
Jiasilan saw the black hole of firecrackers pointed at him!
There was probably a target of the young soldiers of the East Palace. They did not shoot at the charging Minkeli cavalry, but guarded Wang Yue, the commander of the East Palace young army. They coldly raised their Dongfeng rifles and looked at Gasilan.
Wang Yue looked at him calmly and said nothing. Guns and cannons were firing on the battlefield, and Garthlan could not hear anything he said.
But Wang Yue believed that Gasilan would understand his situation.
Garthland was stunned.
At a loss.
He suddenly realized that the battlefield at this moment was no longer the battlefield he was familiar with.
Very strange.
Rush again?
It must be death.
Change your voice and escape?
It’s also a death.
He finally understood that he could lead more than ten warriors to a distance of fifty steps. The enemy commander Wang Yue deliberately let him come here in order to capture him alive!
what to do?
Garsilan and his ten or so horsemen looked at each other in disbelief, stopping fifty steps in front of the infantry formation like sculptures. Everyone was terrified, and the only thing they could do was to comfort their horses.
Anyway, as long as they don't move, the Ming army will not use firecrackers to greet them.
Garthlan simply turned back to see the battle situation.
Looking at it, my whole body felt cold.
In fact, he had already foreseen it.
Just seeing it with my own eyes still gave me a chill in my bones.
Too scary.
Is this the war pattern in which Prince Zhu Jianji of the Ming Dynasty defeated the remnants of the Jianwen rebellion in Fujian with zero losses?
Ten thousand grams of cavalry, charging forward one after another, saw with their own eyes that groups of soldiers in front fell to the ground and died. Even countless war horses neighed and perished. In the blink of an eye, more than two to three thousand people became the victims of hell.
.
The remaining people wanted to escape no matter how brave they were.
Countless people reined in their war horses.
Want to turn the horse's head.
But there is no order!
The person at the back had no idea what was happening in front of him and could not react. As his horse was running wildly, he collided with his own soldier who had reined in his horse. The man at the back was thrown into a mess, and countless people died under his own soldier's iron hoof.
Gasilan wailed in her heart.
It's over.
The 10,000 cavalry that the Minkeli tribe had worked so hard to save were all gone today.
We have to find a way to save these robes.
A sudden resonance.
He shouted to the dozen riders behind him: "Shout with me!"
Then, together with his subordinate Erlang, he yelled with all his strength: "Dismount, dismount quickly, put down the scimitar and bow and arrow, and then spread out on foot to both sides, clearing the charge path in the middle, and reaching the point fifty steps away from the Ming border troops on both sides."
Dongfeng, lie down on the ground and don’t move rashly!”
Surrender, surrender quickly.
Although many people would die if they ran to both sides, if the Ming army discovered Fang Erlang's actions, Wang Yue would definitely understand his intentions and would order not to kill them all, so that some people could survive.
And the space in between must be cleared, otherwise the defeated soldiers of the Minkeli tribe will be trampled into pulp by the cavalry of the Junger tribe.
…
…
Batu Erte was covered in armor, and he led his troops to keep a distance of 500 steps from the iron cavalry of the Minkeli tribe, running and charging all the way. In his opinion, the Minkeli tribe could easily penetrate the fan-shaped formation of the Ming Dynasty's young army.
After that, Min Keli's cavalry turned back and surrounded, cut and annihilated the broken Ming army with the 35,000 cavalry under Batu Erte.
Only ten thousand people.
It won't take long to kill.
At noon, you can take the captive Zhu Jianji to lead the army, or you can not start the army first. Since the prince Zhu Jianji is in hand, I will take my generals to the Hami area and let Hang Yu get some logistics supplies. There is nothing wrong with it.
Then……
Batourot saw a picture of war that he could never understand.
In the clear sky in the distance, there was a dull low whistle.
Immediately, in the formation of the Minkeli tribe, a ball of fire exploded, and almost all the prairie cavalry within a radius of ten steps around the fire were turned upside down in an instant.
It's not just the Minkeli Department.
The same fire appeared in the Junggar army behind Batu Erte.
It's artillery!
And it is a flowering cannon that is rarely used in the Ming Dynasty.
But how could the Ming Dynasty's flowering cannon have such power?
Nothing to fear!
Batuel didn't take it to heart, nor did he care how Zhu Jianji's young army smuggled the artillery to Hami. He only knew that victory was imminent, and no one could stop the invincible charge of the prairie cavalry!
But Batuelt soon stopped thinking so.
Because when he looked at the cavalry of the Minkeli tribe, they suddenly became a mess.
There was a weird scene of the back row bumping into the front row!
What's going on?
Batuel was stunned.
What the hell is the Minkeli Department doing? Can't they even handle the simplest cavalry charge?
Immediately, Batu Erte saw the soldiers of the Minkeli tribe dismounting one after another, throwing away their scimitars and bows and arrows, running to both sides of the fan-shaped formation of the Ming army with bare hands, and lying motionless on the ground fifty paces away.
In the process, countless people were shot to death by the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty's young army.
Min Keli Department...
Total collapse!
Simply stupid!
Batuel was completely confused as to what kind of war this was.
Why does this situation occur?
What happened.
Ten thousand iron cavalry completely collapsed in such a short distance of two to three hundred steps?
The key is that the Min Keli Ministry has no contact with the Ming Dynasty Young Army!
It was definitely not caused by the artillery that blossomed with terrifying destructive power, because although the artillery was extremely lethal, it could not cover the entire Minkli Division's formation.
There must be another reason why the Minkeli tribe is so fragile.
The same number of 10,000 people.
In such a short period of time, the Ming army was able to defeat the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Min Keli tribe so cleanly and neatly at a distance of one or two hundred steps. Even the Shenji Battalion in Zhu Di's era could not do this.
Wait for the power.
What kind of war is this?
As the commander, Batu Erte knew nothing.
All he knew was that the Minkeli tribe was defeated.
collapsed.
On the road of our charge, there were corpses everywhere, as well as countless frightened and scattered horses.
as well as……
Jiasi Lan stupidly stayed fifty steps away from the Ming army.
It's incredible.
However, Batuel had no time to think about it.
Because he led his army closely behind the Min Keli tribe, he was only three to four hundred steps away from Zhu Jianji's East Palace young army.
And with the collapse of Min Keli's troops, the space for charge was exposed.
Although Batu Erte suspected that the Ming army had any new firearms, even though he regretted that he followed too closely when he launched the charge because of his greed for credit, so he could not stop the offensive immediately at this moment.
But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
When the cavalry is charging, if all troops are suddenly ordered to stop, their formation will inevitably be in chaos.
At that time, the enemy counterattacks.
Even if there are only 10,000 people, 35,000 of our own people will become lambs to be slaughtered.
Moreover, the young troops of the Ming Dynasty were arranged in a fan-shaped formation.
In other words, even if our own side uses space to divide its troops to the left and right and draw an arc to reverse the direction and withdraw its troops, it will still suffer unobstructed fire from the side of the enemy's fan-shaped formation.
The battle damage will also be great.
No need to weigh.
In the current situation, the only option is to charge.
No matter how powerful the Ming Dynasty's firearms were, it would be impossible to stop the charge of 35,000 cavalrymen.
This is a cavalry of thirty-five thousand men!
So Batu Erte shouted, "The Minkeli tribe is a disgrace to our prairie men. Men, follow me into the Ming army and let them see the power of our prairie cavalry. The Immortal God will bless us!"
