I am the king of the dead

Chapter 50
The Divine Arrow is a kind of rocket of the Ming Dynasty. To be precise, gunpowder is tied to the position of the arrow. After landing, the iron pieces in the gunpowder will be blasted in all directions, the greatest pursuit of killing.

The rain of arrows pierced through the sky like a rain screen, passing towards the Oirat Foot War camp, blasting out in the crowd, and the mourning could still be heard even at a distance of a few hundred paces.

Zhu Qiyu firmly grasped the bricks and stones at the head of the city, and continued to throw firepower at the foot battles and cavalry formations of the Oara people.

It was the first time he saw such a war scene, and his nervous palms were full of water.

He actually asked Taiqian a question, what if the Oara people drove the people to attack the city?

Yu Qian's answer was silence, but after arriving on the battlefield, Zhu Qiyu knew clearly that there was only one answer to this question, that is, under the city walls, there were all enemies.

The enemy drove the people and captives to attack the city, and Zhu Qiyu could only order to shoot.

War is cruel, which is probably something Yu Qian never said.

The vanguards of the Oara people's foot-battle were all people and prisoners captured by the Oara people in Kyushu outside the mountains. They used sabres to drive these people to death, while some Oara people were mixed in.

While creating riots, the Oara people can also quickly approach the civilian houses outside the Zhangyi Gate through the cover of the people.

Under the bombardment of arrows, stones, and lead bullets in the sky, the army of the Oara people rushed into the houses with hysterical roars.

The sub-cannons and the general artillery on the top of the city began to fire. Under the cover of the artillery fire, there were debris and broken walls and broken limbs and arms. Some people with broken legs were on the ground with their hands supporting the front. He did, but he was trampled to death in a pool of blood by the iron hoofs of the horse army of the Oirat people.

The brutality of the war became extremely real at this moment.

This is war. On the battlefield, anyone can be killed by stray arrows. On the battlefield, no life will be guaranteed, no matter if you are a prince or a nobleman, or a three princes and nine ministers.

Humans die when killed.

Following the final salvo of the Great General Artillery, the cavalry of the Oara people finally rushed into the houses outside the Zhangyi Gate.

The battlefield suddenly became quiet. The roaring explosions and gunpowder smoke were being blown farther and farther by the wind in the capital, but the battlefield gradually became clear.

The tragic hand-to-hand battle was going on in the houses under the city.

Relying on the houses, roofs, walls, chariots, and horse-riding horses, the Daming army was fighting at close range. As far as Zhu Qiyu's eyes could see, there were three or four Daming troops catching each of the horsemen's cavalry. fight.

There are at least 2 Ming troops outside Zhangyi Gate, while the Oirat vanguard army is only about [-], and the Oirat vanguard seems to be stuck in a quagmire. After passing through the bombardment area, they are unable to advance an inch.

Their invincible cavalry soldiers on the grassland lost their greatest support, mobility, when facing T-shaped streets and chariots.

Is that what cavalry do?

Zhu Qiyu had a question in his heart.

According to his superficial understanding of the battlefield, the cavalry should be the light cavalry with the task of harassing arrows and breaking the formation, while the heavy cavalry should mainly break the formation.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't see the application of Ma Jun at all in the way of the Oirat people.

Zhu Qiyu thought that his understanding of the cavalry had gone wrong, but soon, the defeat of the Vanguard Army of the Oirat led to his speculation.

Soon the melodious sound of horns and horns sounded on the battlefield, and the Oara people turned their horses and began to retreat.

However, the retreat of these Oirat troops was not smooth. The houses that had been bombarded were all debris, and the corpses and building debris were stumbling blocks on their way to retreat.

But the biggest obstacle was the foot fight that Oray just rushed up.

These foot warriors also wanted to retreat, they turned around, but they were far slower than the cavalry.

The stampede began, and some of the Oara cavalry, brandishing their spears, cleaved a path with their weapons.

As soon as the Daming army swarmed up, Zhu Qiyu immediately captured the figures of Yu Qian, Shi Heng, and Liu An. The three of them had bright yellow armor and red crowns, and they rushed forward and rushed out of the houses. .

The most basic formation of the Ming army maintainers, the shield soldiers and the chariots are in front, the swordsmen are on the side, and the guns are in the array, and they continue to move forward. The battlefield is once again filled with gunpowder smoke. .

Under the three-way attack, a group of cavalry soldiers came from the direction of Xibianmen, and the sound of iron hooves shattered the Orah people's last extravagant hope of retreating.

The cavalry roamed around the battlefield, using arrows and firearms in their hands to leave at a touch, blocking the enemy's retreat, but they did not fully engage in the battle.

Zhu Qiyu was finally convinced that there was no deviation in his cognition of the battlefield, and that was how cavalry should be used!This is the correct use of cavalry!Yu Qian emphasized the importance of the horse army so much, but the performance of the Oara people could not show the role of the horse army at all.

Daming's horse army, although not many, did play a blocking role.

The Oirat people, who were in a dilemma, were quickly defeated by the advancing Ming army.

This battle, which lasted for less than an hour, finally came to an end with the sound of horns in the Daming army formation.

The Ming army was victorious.

"Okay!" Zhu Qiyu waved his fist vigorously!
He could not wait to go down and charge himself.

When observing the battlefield, Zhu Qiyu found that, in fact, in light foot combat, he could actually outrun a horse.

The collapse of the battlefield is about the horses of the Oara people running out, slowly slowing down and stopping at a long distance, but after Daming's foot battle rushed out, it will slowly approach, and it will catch up as far as the eye can see. enemy.

This... a man can run better than a horse?
"Xing'an, why did the Owara people use cavalry to charge into the formation?" Zhu Qiyu was still a little puzzled.

Xing'an is a great companion eunuch. His Majesty's question made him quite scratch his head, and he did not understand.He shook his head and said, "This minister is stupid, probably because the Oara people think that with the great victory of Tumu Fort, my Ming army will collapse without a fight?"

"Crazy!"

Zhu Qiyu patted the bricks and stones of the city wall and looked confidently at the general who was cleaning the battlefield.

Yu Qian rode a horse to the gate of Zhangyi, and rode a hanging basket to the Wufeng Tower.

In fact, he was very busy. After the battle, he needed to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, set up prisoners, and summon generals to punish the former and the later.

There were many things after the war, but Emperor Daming was at the head of Zhangyi Gate, and he had to rush to report the results of the battle.

Does Yu Qian feel that Zhu Qiyu, the emperor, is causing trouble?

not at all.

The battlefield is extremely dangerous. As Emperor Zhu Qiyu, it is already a blessing for Daming to go to the tower to supervise the battle in person.

"Yu Shangshu has worked hard." Zhu Qiyu grabbed Yu Qian's arm and helped him out of the hanging basket.

Yu Qian had just fought, and his armor was still dripping with blood, but Yu Qian's face was ruddy and full of energy. The blood was probably the blood of the enemy.

Yu Qian took off his pocket, handed it to Lu Zhong next to him, and saluted respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the Oirat people are so arrogant! In order to quickly defeat my Ming army, he actually used the horse army to attack the army formation of the civilian houses. It is really unwise." Yu Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with emotion.

In fact, Yu Qian did not expect that the first wave of attacks they fought was the horse army of the Oara people.

Under the terrain of the people's house, if they dared to use the horse army to rush into the formation, Yu Qian could only describe them as mad and rebellious.

"In this battle, more than 1000 lords wore more than [-] armors, and more than [-] prisoners were captured. Daming won a complete victory." Although Yu Qian was smiling, he was worried.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Yu Qian said uncertainly.

"Oh? What is it?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

"At night, I want to take advantage of the new defeat of Oara, the troops of Zhangyimen, Xibianmen, Xizhimen, and Deshengmen, take advantage of the instability of the foundation of the Oara people, and take advantage of the night to raid the large camp of the Oara people located west of Xizhimen." Yu Qian is still a little bit. said hesitantly.

"The Wa Lat people camped west of Xizhimen, and there was no danger to defend. The military village was newly built, and the trenches were not dug. After tonight, there will be no such opportunity."

Where is the madness of the Oara people still reflected?

They set up their camp directly less than thirty miles west of Xizhimen.

Take the initiative?

Zhu Qiyu said suspiciously: "Are there any scruples?"

"The Emperor Taishang is in the enemy line." Yu Qian said helplessly.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu heard it, his blood pressure went up, and he was afraid of rats.
