On the evening of the third day of June in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Wei Ming led an army of fifty thousand and Huang Taiji led an army of sixty thousand confronted 30 miles from the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi. This war, no matter who loses or who wins, will be written in the history books. Because of this battle, the direction of the Ming Dynasty and Houjin was determined. If Wei Ming wins, the 130,000 army of the Mongolian post-gold coalition is in danger of being encircled and annihilated. After that, for fifty years, Mongolia and Houjin were unable to buckle south. And if Wei Ming loses, then the morale of the Ming Dynasty will fall again and again, and it will no longer be able to prevent the Mongolian post-Kindong from entering the capital. The Ming Dynasty may decline from this moment until it perishes.
"Encourage a lot of sweat, Wei Ming has camped on Tupo and made a defensive posture." The spy reported, and Huang Taiji nodded, without saying anything, waved his hand and let the spy go down.
"Khan, are we going to launch an attack right away? Although this soil slope is not shaking, it still has some disadvantages for us."
Facing the general's question, Huang Taiji frowned and said nothing. He now regrets not killing Wei Ming when he was in Liaodong. This is how Wei Ming is today. Otherwise, there is no one in Ming Dynasty who can organize a decent resistance to deal with the Mongolian post-Golden coalition forces. When the time comes, the capital will be conquered in one effort, and the established strategic goal will be completed. The Liaodong Army will be unable to support it alone, and sooner or later the entire northern land will be eaten away by itself. At that time, he can fulfill his father Khan's last wish and enter the Central Plains. As for the agreement with Daming's conspirators, let it go to hell! Only what you hold in your hand is yours. Do you want to let yourself spit out the meat you eat in your mouth? What a joke! But now with Wei Ming, everything is uncertain. Let the whole world situation become confusing. Wei Ming has become his own confidant in the end!
"Would you like to send a small group of cavalry to explore first?" some generals suggested.
"Wei Ming can't be underestimated. Sending a small number of troops up is just to deliver food, which is a waste of money. Either you don't fight, you want to fight, you have to fight him down. Khan, the last will not be talented, I would like to lead the army to lead the battle! "Mang Gurtai stood up and asked for orders.
"Okay, let you lead ten thousand cavalry to attack the enemy formation!" Huang Taiji said blankly. He and Mang Gurtai thought that if he wanted to fight, he had to do his best to fight. Wei Ming was a conspirator and a sinister guy in Huang Taiji's heart. As long as he seizes the opportunity, there will be a way to make a comeback. The Liaodong Bureau was already dead, but he was surprised to make him live. Although Bian Weiming didn't do anything here, Huang Taiji was still willing to blame everything on Wei Ming.
"Yes!" Mang Gurtai took the command, rushed towards Wei Ming's camp. Even if the opponent is a tortoise shell, Mangguertai is confident to dig a hole in the tortoise shell!
"Here," Wei Ming said lightly. Wanma Galloping indeed has a strong deterrent effect. But he has a card in his hand, so Wei Ming's heart is not too nervous. I have done everything I can, and now I have to see if all my efforts are useful. This is a game of life and death. Those who lose have nothing left. Both Wei Ming and Huang Taiji understood this truth.
"Master Hou, what are we going to do?" Li Zicheng asked. Li Zicheng now dare not follow his temperament. This battle is really critical.
"The Musketeer was trained by Cao Wenzhao, so let him go. Ten thousand cavalry, no more, no less, just to give us an experiment." Wei Ming said.
"Yes!" Li Zicheng took the order and passed the order on. Immediately, the banner in the barracks was waved, and Cao Wenzhao led out of the camp with five thousand muskets, divided into three rows, quietly waiting for the golden cavalry to throw themselves into the net.
The galloping rear golden cavalry was rushing forward desperately. At a distance less than three hundred meters from Cao Wenzhao’s array, the soldiers who rushed in front suddenly dropped their heads and jumped into the air from their horses, and then the horses speeded up again. Too fast, there is no time to stop. Suddenly he was trampled into mashed flesh. From here, I didn’t know how many people would be lost. The banner of Manggurtai was changed, and 10,000 cavalry were scattered towards both sides.
"General, haven't you ordered the fire?" The lieutenant asked with a bit of temper. Cao Wenzhao shook his head and said, "Wait." Now firing may be able to bring a lot of damage to the opponent, but it has not succeeded in stopping the enemy. Although the fire system has been improved into a musket, the effective range is only two hundred steps, which is not much different from that of a bow and arrow. As long as the enemy recognizes the power of the musket and spreads it out, it will be a lot of trouble then. If the cavalry wants to rush into the battle, it is to concentrate. And when the opponent is concentrated, his own side is also very good at killing and wounding a lot. This is like an unsolvable proposition. Both sides know it, but they have to follow it step by step.
Mang Gurtai wanted to bypass the horse pit. The stumbling horse pit is still very easy to see from the outside. After going around in a circle, the horse speed did not decrease much. Seeing that there was no stumbling horse pit on a flat ground, Mangguertai felt that although he rushed up from here a bit farther than he rushed straight up, the impact force was a little worse, but it didn’t. Quite a few can't be done. Didn't you see that the other party hasn't moved yet? It looks good, but what's the use? It is estimated that you are already scared of the courage!
With a "bang", a war horse rushing forward suddenly rose into the air with the cavalry on the horse. When it came down again, there was only a rain of blood and minced meat.
"Bomb!" I don't know who yelled, Mang Gurtai's face was not good. But he didn't want to just return without success. The Ming army used firearms, this is something everyone in the world knows. But in the previous wars, did the Ming army lose to the Houjin army one after another? Mangultai believes that as long as there is a firm will and a spirit not afraid of death, the Houjin cavalry is invincible. Ming Jun is not an opponent at all! This time he is not going to make a detour, even if it takes human life to make a trip, he has to make a way out!
"Front arrow formation, charge with me!" Mang Gurtai waved his hand, and the rear golden cavalry screamed and rushed up the gentle slope. Ming Jun has been on his way for a day, but his side is just waiting for work, as long as he rushes up, as long as he rushes up, we win! Whether it is Mang Gurtai or the Huang Taiji behind, they all think so.
The front line can make a way with the least casualties, which is really good. However, Mang Gurtai exposed the flanks to Cao Wenzhao's eyes. Hit from the front, killing one or two, the bullet was blocked, not cost-effective. Playing from the wing, that's a cool thing! Seeing that Mang Gurtai had already given a death order, Cao Wenzhao smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook the banner in his hand and said, "Okay, fire on!"
"Bang bang bang!" Countless gunfire sounded, row after row. After one row was finished, he immediately squatted down to change bullets and continued on the second row. After the second row is played, the third row is played again and again. One after another bullets hit the Houjin Cavalry, Mangguertai watched as the men fell down and were stepped into mud, his eyes burst as if he was about to jump out. Mang Gurtai let out a sigh of relief when the three rows of gunshots were over. Only three rows, after which they will stop for a while. And just for a while, it's my own opportunity!
"Erlang, their three-stroke axe is over, now it's time for us to fight with me!" Perhaps Mongoltai was too confident, so he rushed out first. Seeing this, the Houjin soldiers behind, their morale was high, and the speed of the impact suddenly accelerated a lot. When the sound of the musket sounded again, Mongoltai was stupid, the Houjin cavalry was stupid, and even Huang Taiji who was watching the battle not far away was stupid. How can it be so fast
"Mangultai? It's your own death, so don't blame us!" Cao Wenzhao took a musket from the guard next to him, and aimed at Mangultai, following the musketeers in the first row. When the shot was fired, Cao Wenzhao's musket also rang. A bullet passed through Mang Gurtai's huge head impartially, and Mang Gurtai's death could not believe that all this was true.
How can it be so fast? This is a question he has been thinking about until his death.
