Chapter 136 Shigou Bloody Battle, Ningxia Ping (5)
A rain of arrows from the Mongolian cavalry came, accompanied by screams, and some Ming army musketeers who could not dodge were shot by the Mongolian cavalry bow. Although the cavalry bow was not fatal, a large number of people were injured. This made the Ming army musketeers even more panicked. They all rushed to escape behind the shield player, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.
When the Mongols rushed to the front of the cannon cart, they did not rush directly to the formation, but instead rode their horses and rushed past the formation and dispersed to both sides. The Mongolian cavalry coming from behind rushed in, and made the same arrangement, bringing waves of rain of arrows.
After several waves of riding and shooting, the Ming army position on the left was a little panicked. At this time, another wave of Mongolian cavalry rushed over. Many Mongolians on horseback were waving their mascots. When they rushed past the cannon carts, the mascots in their hands were accurately swung on the shaft of the cannon carts. When they rode their horses to both sides, some of the cannon carts that were crossing the army were torn apart by them, opening a very big gap.
Not only that, the Mongolian cavalry who had waved several times later took the opportunity to rush up, and the horse-repellents behind the cannon trucks were also pulled away by them. The Ming army lined up behind the horse-repellents were directly exposed to their eyes.
However, at this time, the Ming army of Maguibu also woke up. Not only did the shield player better protect themselves, but the archers behind the shield also shot arrows at the Mongolian cavalry. Some musketeers who had finished the medicine were also shot at the Mongolians.
Both sides suffered casualties.
At this moment, a team of about hundreds of Mongolians who were raising their strength behind had rushed up from the gap. The Mongolians were better equipped, each wearing leather armor, each holding a shield in one hand and a shiny scimitar in the other.
Seeing this group of Mongolians rushing towards him, the central army command made a loud sound of cymbals. The shield player in the left formation of Ming army immediately stepped back, and the spearman and the big stick man rushed forward. The three-eyed gunman in the formation also took out a short spear on his body and inserted the spearhead into the barrel. Originally, their three-eyed guns had long wooden handles, and then installed a short spear, and the final length was like a spear.
When the Mongolians rushed over, spears from the Ming army stood up one after another. However, due to the previous chaos, the gun forest was not dense. Some Mongolian horses caught the cold gun forest and refused to rush up. The owner of the horse could only dodge helplessly. Some Mongolian cavalry rushed into the gaps in the gun formation, and the rest of the Mongolian cavalry followed.
At this time, there was chaos in the gaps. Some Ming army spearmen fought and stabbed at the Mongolians on their horses. Some big stickmen also waved their sticks and rushed to hit the heads of Mongolian cavalry coming from the opposite side. Some three-eyed gunmen behind the queue participated in the battle. Some Ming army shield players also shot some javelins from behind.
But some Ming troops could not help but run back in fear and fled back in fear. These people also affected a group of Ming troops to escape. Although Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao killed some of the escaped Ming troops on the spot, they still could not stop the panic of the Ming troops.
More and more Mongolians poured into the gap, and the two sides fought together. The Mongolian teams wandering outside the military formation on the right saw the situation on the left, and they rode their horses to the other side, intending to break through the Ming army's formation from there.
Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao, who were defending here, both of them shouted and asked their subordinates to resist, and sent some servants to block the gap. However, there were still more and more Mongolians, and the left positions of the Ming army were at risk of collapse at any time.
Ma Gui on the high platform of the central army could see clearly that he was worthy of being an old army. At this time, he showed his calmness. He just urgently ordered his subordinates to take 300 clans to support him. More than a thousand cavalrymen in the inner siege of the central army were still motionless.
Huang Laifu also always pays attention to the situation there. If things are not good, he will send his servants and some idle musket soldiers to support him.
The battle in the left formation became more and more intense and bloody. However, although Ma Gui ordered his personal generals to go to the rescue, the gap in the army was still getting bigger and bigger due to the increasing number of Mongolians. Several Ming army flags on the other side had already fallen and looked chaotic.
The Mongolian commander Burigede, holding a scimitar, led his subordinates to slash desperately. The weather was hot, and his face was covered with sweat and blood all over his body. I don’t know whether this blood was his own or the Ming army. People were about to vomit in the strong smell of blood, and even the horses under him were sweating. Seeing his crazy appearance, the Ming army blocked him, all of them fled away in horror.
Finally, Burigede felt his eyes lit up. It turned out that he had led hundreds of his subordinates to break through the left army formation of the Ming army. In front of him was the central army formation of the Ming army. He could clearly see that on the high platform not far ahead, a central army banner with yellow and mahjong characters was flying on the high platform, and there were neatly arranged central army formations on all sides of the high platform.
The Ming army in front of him fled in all directions. Before Burigede could cheer, he suddenly felt cold in his heart. He saw hundreds of Ming army musketeers in heavy armor lined up in dense and neat rows, with the cold guns facing them. It was Huang Laifu who saw something wrong and urgently supported Ma Gui's 400 musketeers, including one hundred gunmen and three hundred bird gunmen.
The fuse on the musket was burning sizzling, and a shadow of death popped up in Burigede's heart.
Burigede screamed wildly, holding a scimitar in his hand, slamming his horse and slamming his horse towards the musketeer. However, only Burigede was the only one who was this feat. After seeing the situation ahead, all of them screamed and fled backwards or to the side. This made them even more crowded.
"shooting!"
An officer from Wuzhai Fort suddenly pointed the long sword in his hand forward!
"Boom boom boom boom boom!"
"Baobabababababa..."
One hundred guns were raised, and three hundred bird guns fired together. As white smoke filled, dazzling fires appeared at each muzzle, and countless scorching iron sand shot out from each gun barrels shot at the Mongolian soldiers.
At a distance of more than ten steps, whether it is a gun lift or a bird gun, it is extremely powerful. Moreover, the musketeers are still in such a neat and dense formation. In addition, the Mongolians are crowded in a group of people and horses. Such shooting is ideal.
All the shocking screams were heard, the Mongolian soldiers were all over the place. Whether it was people or horses, many of them had huge blood holes on their bodies, especially some of the Mongolian soldiers rushing to the front, and their bodies were covered in blood and blood, which was terrible.
Especially the Mongolian leader Burigede who rushed to the front died the most miserable. Whether it was his men or horses, they were all blood holes all over their body and died on the spot.
It is estimated that just this round of musket shooting would kill and injure more than 200 people on the spot. It would be better if the Mongol soldiers who were injured were lying on the ground, rolling loudly and screaming.
After the four hundred Wuzhai Fort musket soldiers finished shooting, they each placed their muskets on the ground, pulled out their long swords with both hands, and immediately formed a shiny sword formation.
Seeing the miserable situation of his companions in front of him, and seeing the Wuzhai Fort soldiers who were waiting for the battle, the Mongolian soldiers behind him instantly collapsed. They howled and fled backwards. Some people thought the horses were crowded together and couldn't escape, so they even jumped off the horses and ran away.
This caused panic. The Mongolians in the gap either fled or were hesitant. When they rushed in like this, the Mongolians who rushed out were crowded into a group again.
This turning change of the Mongolians made the Ming army of Maguibu, who was already in a panic, stunned. Then they suddenly changed 360 degrees, from the previous panic to the unstoppable courage. They all screamed, holding weapons, and rushed towards the Mongolians regardless of their own.
Such a situation also caused the Mongolians outside the gap to collapse, and they all rushed to run for their lives in horror.
Huang Laifu and Ma Gui on the central army's high platform could see clearly. Huang Laifu laughed and said, "The enemy is defeated!"
Ma Gui nodded repeatedly, but he could see clearly the situation in his military formation before. If it weren't for Huang Laifu's support, today would be a bit unlucky, which made Ma Gui's face look a little bad.
Hearing Huang Laifu say this, he nodded as well.
Huang Laifu said: "General Ma, let's pursue our army!"
Ma Gui shouted: "Chasing!"
Soon, the drums in the central army were beating rapidly, and the three hundred Huang Laifu family members, Ma Gui's cavalry and servants under his command, all urged horses to emerge from the gap between the infantry formations.
Seeing this situation, the Mongolian cavalry outside the army was even more defeated and fled one after another.
※※※
At the Mongolian Central Army two miles away, the Mongolian Ministry of Households led the commander-in-chief and took some relatives to watch the battle.
This time he dispatched 6,000 troops to attack, which could be said to have invested a lot of money. During the previous Ming army's artillery fire, although the artillery fire was fierce and many of his own warriors were killed or injured, all of this was as expected.
But the subsequent failure of the four thousand Mongolian cavalry to attack Huang Laifu's right-handed formation defended by Huang Laifu's troops made him look extremely bad. The strict discipline of the Wuzhaibao army and the sharpness of the firearm made him tremble. All kinds of rumors about Huang Laifu in the grassland surged into his heart again.
Fortunately, the warriors' attack on the left formation was smooth, which made him feel hope in his heart, hoping to defeat the Ming army's position from there. Things seemed to be very smooth, and suddenly, for some reason, his own army was defeated.
First, the defeated Mongolian soldiers escaped from the left formation, and then affected other people. Thousands of grassland warriors all looked extremely frightened and slapped their horses like a flood. Some of the warriors even abandoned their horses and ran away happily.
This made Da Zheng even more furious. Then Da Zheng saw the Ming cavalry coming out of the chariot formation and unscrupulously chasing and killing his warriors. This made Da Zheng even more furious. When did he fail so much?
He was preparing to ask a personal general to lead 2,000 troops to fight and respond. No matter what, there were thousands of Mongolian cavalry beside him. He would not admit defeat just like this.
At this moment, he suddenly saw smoke and dust rolling in the north, and then saw several blood-stained Mongols rushing into his military formation. Another Mongolian suddenly fell off his horse in front of Kyat. He still struggled and rushed to Kyatat and cried loudly.
Dao was panicked and helped him up, saying, "My Battel, what's wrong with you?"
This Bartel is his third son and has always been favored by him, but he stayed outside the border, this is...
An ominous sign hit his heart.
Bater cried while holding the thigh, "Father, all the warriors in our tribe have died, and the animals, cattle, sheep, women, and children in our tribe have been robbed by the Ming army!"
Dao was staying on the spot, his whole body was cold.
On July 25, 20th year of Wanli, Dong Yiyuan led the Governor Ye Mengxiong to take advantage of the emptiness behind the Hetao tribe, and led his troops out of the frontier to plagiarize, attack his camp, and had a great victory, beheading more than 3,000 levels.
