Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1251 Mine Array

As a special tribe guarding the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, the Ordos Department has a unique understanding of the word glory, so Boshuoketu typed out the signboard of "Genghis Khan", and the morale that had just been bombed came back immediately.

Although the scene was chaotic at this time, the sweat tent elite gathered around Bo Shuo Ketu was not enough for 4000 people, but the people who could gather at this time also meant that their horses were still there. In other words, this was still [-] cavalry.

At this time, Ma Gui, who was standing in an array not far away, was at a serious disadvantage in terms of strength. According to Bo Shuo Ketu's estimate, he may only have about 500 people on hand.

500 people?
It's not that Bosoktu's brain is not good. In the face of such a situation, he doesn't doubt whether there is any other conspiracy on Magui's side, but at the same time, he believes that at such a short distance, the cavalry will increase their speed from the run-up. It is the most reasonable to launch a charge formation. The current conditions are just right to exert the impact force of these [-] cavalry troops to achieve the purpose of breaking down the weak formation of the Ming army.

It is better news that Ma Gui himself is in the opposite army formation. After all, this reinforcement from Datong is below Gao Pengshi, that is, he is the general soldier of Datong.What's more, the main force of Gao Wushi's army is Datong Zhenbing. If they can win Magui, it may even make Gao Wushi's army ineffective to a large extent.

Isn't it worth the gamble?

The Ordos veteran who had reminded Boshuoketu many times before was gathering soldiers near a subsidence not far away. He seemed to be slightly injured, but it was not that he could not hear Boshuoketu's mobilization. , but he only hesitated for a moment, and did not say anything to stop it.

In such a situation, Jinong must first rush out of this dangerous area anyway, so where should he rush or not?If Ma Gui is really just getting carried away and putting himself in danger, this rush may have miraculous effects, why not do it?
The cavalry gathered near Bosoktu, and at his command, they began to run forward slowly, and then gradually accelerated.

This is a very typical "pre-movement" that is about to launch a rush. Of course, Ma Gui, a general who has fought with Mongolia since childhood, can see it at a glance. It stands to reason that he should regret that he was so careless at this time.

However, Ma Gui was very calm, and he just said three words coldly: "The bayonet array!"

It is not the first time that the Ming army used the bayonet array to break the cavalry, but from the first appearance until now, the bayonet array has only appeared for a few years, and its "legend" has not been widely spread.Within the Ordos Department, the high-level Taiji and leaders knew it in detail, but ordinary herdsmen and cavalry did not know much about it.

Bosuo Ketu showed his bayonet in the Ming army array, and the front row stood upside down. When the tip of the knife pointed diagonally at him, his heart froze, but the legend was only a legend after all, and Boshuo Ketu himself had never eaten the bayonet array. Suffering, obviously lack of "empathy", so it is "a cold" that's all, it will not be scared to take it back.

Not only did he fail to recover his life, but the dissatisfaction that was characteristic of the young Boshuoktuan erupted. Can't you break the cavalry?Then let's see today, whether it is your mere hundreds of bayonets that are powerful, or whether my Mongolian warriors are stronger in the rush!
Without warning, Boshuoketu suddenly shouted and accelerated again.The elites of the Ordos Department's khan account are all veterans. They not only fought against the Ming army in the early years, but also made many expeditions to Oirat and other places. Where there is too much tactical command, they will start to speed up with Boshuoketu.

They understand the intention of Boshuoketu's move - the opponent's defense may be very strong, and they need to forcefully break it without leaving a trace!

This is a rush to sink the boat, there is no retreat!

Ma Chengzhao, who was standing beside Ma Gui, only felt that his hand holding the knife was a little sweaty. He subconsciously swallowed and asked, "Father, are we really not going to get on the horse?"

Knowing son Mo Ruofu, Ma Gui knew that Ma Chengzhao was good at martial arts, but his horsemanship was slightly better than that of horses. Now it was the first time that Ma Jiada soldiers used the "bayonet formation" on the battlefield, so Ma Chengzhao was the first time to go into battle. The new recruit Danzi faced the thousands of cavalry, and it was normal to be a little nervous.

Ma Gui stood motionless, not even drawing a knife, but calmly said: "As a general, you must have the determination to have Taishan collapse in front of you without changing your face."

Ma Chengzhao's face immediately turned red, and he was about to justify saying "My son is not afraid", but Ma Gui had already continued: "Not to mention the current battle, in fact, it is very likely that the bayonet formation will not be used."

"Ah?" Ma Chengzhao was taken aback: "Why?"

But Ma Gui didn't have time to answer him, because the landmines took the lead.

Bo Shuo Ketu chose a good place for his charge——the area in front of Magui is a "minefield" that has been set up long ago, and more than 500 landmines are densely buried.

Although the area is a bit too big and the landmines are not densely buried; although the power of the landmines at this time is still far inferior to that of later generations even after Jinghua's improvement, more than 500 landmines are still enough for these [-] cavalry to drink a pot.

This elite cavalry rushed into the volcanic hell in the eighteenth hell. The mines fired by the steel wheels responded to their heroism with violent explosions, and they danced with the thunder and fire. The flesh and blood that shattered and flew with the warhorse under the crotch.

Blood and fire strongly stimulated everyone at this moment, including the stunned Ma Chengzhao.

In Ma Gui's words, unfortunately, there is really no need for a bayonet formation in this battle.Because Boshuoketu accelerated twice, the Ordos cavalry was close to sprinting before rushing into the bayonet array, and such a rush is impossible to stop, even if it is found that there is an abnormality in the front, and it is in the rear. The cavalry could no longer stop, and could only continue to move forward.

The Mongolian warriors plunged in like this, and I don't know how many people can still come out.

Boshuo Ketu himself was not able to escape the care of "Thor". Although he did not step on the mine directly, a mine exploded within ten feet of him. The warhorse used its already uncontrollable hoof to "kick" Bosoktu in the stomach, knocking him off the horse and knocking another cavalry away.

But Boshuoktu's luck was already very good, because after he landed and rolled uncontrollably for seven or eight laps, he was not trampled to death by the cavalry horses behind him, but twitched and rolled on the ground while clutching his stomach.

The rushing formation was actually broken, but Ma Gui did not order to disarm, but instead let the soldiers start shouting something in Mongolian, and at the same time they played the command flag.

As the flag of the command was fluttered, more soldiers of the Ming army began to emerge from the ravines, and they rushed towards him at the fastest speed. As soon as Ma Gui waved his hand, they began to surround Boshuoketu from afar. Destroyed soldiers.

As for the mine array, who knows how many have exploded, and how many are still sleeping peacefully in the ground. Of course, one's own people can't commit suicide in such a foolish way.

Thanks to the fact that the triggering of the steel wheel is relatively slow these days. If it is replaced by a product like the later generation, I am afraid that it will not be able to be taken out if it is buried.Now this kind can still be recycled after the war, but you need to be careful when digging. You can't use tools such as hoes and shovels. You need to replace a wooden shovel to dig a little bit - this is why the Praetorian Guards set up sappers separately One of the reasons, after all, this is already a professional demining work.

The advancement of military science and technology will inevitably lead to various changes in military tactics and military organization. Although Gao pragmatism is not professional enough in these matters, it is fortunate that he still knows the basic principles.With his "prophecy" and Qi Jiguang's genius, he still crossed the river by feeling the stones.

However, the work of persuading surrender did not go very smoothly, because the veteran had gathered a lot of Ordos cavalry at this time, and he had also discovered that Jinong had an unexpected failure in this wave of rushing.

He was extremely anxious to get up and prepare to rush over to save people, even though he knew that there was a problem in that area, there might be a lot of Thunderbolt artillery hidden underground.

The power of these Thunderbolts is far beyond what he knew in the past, and the means of use are also different from those in the past.The Ming army was no longer sparsely burying Thunderbolt artillery along the periphery of the fortress, but used it intensively.

If it was used like that in the past, this veteran actually has a way—a stupid way, go straight, and bet on whoever has the worst luck and who has the better luck.Although this method is stupid, it has been very effective before, because although the Ming army's firearms are various, but each of them is very small.There are actually very few things like thunderbolt artillery. There may be at most a dozen buried outside a large dock, but most docks have none at all.

Since there are few, it will not be in the way, and a few people will not die if you go directly there.But this time is obviously different. From the direct explosion of the Ordos army into two parts, to the intensive explosion in this area just now, it can be seen that the Ming army has used so many Thunderbolt artillery this time, not to mention the Thunderbolt artillery this time. The power is huge, far from being comparable to the old cannons.

Hmm... Although the Thunderbolt guns in the past also killed people, they often couldn't overturn even the horses. After all, the military industry system of the Ming Army was so bad at that time.

Presumably because the power of the mine array just now was too amazing, so the veteran didn't plan to rush into the formation. He ordered to slowly approach and freely shoot the approaching Ming army.

Ma Gui saw clearly and knew that this person was not trying to break through, but to save Boshuoketu, whose life and death were unknown - the kind of people who want to see people and corpses when they live.

He was not in a hurry, he snorted coldly, and ordered: "Make the most of your troops, and advance in formation. In addition... Cloud-piercing arrows can also be released."

With this order, the Ming army ambushed all their troops.It turned out that apart from the area where Ma Gui himself was in ambush, there were many ambushes in various places at the southern foot of Huri Huliang Mountain. According to the terrain conditions, hundreds of people were ambushed in some ravines, and in some large ravines The Chinese ambushed thousands or even two or three thousand people.

After these ambush soldiers appeared, they all began to assemble according to the new formation that the Ming army had implemented in the past year or two, and then slowly approached the center from all sides.

The center is the area where the elites of the Ordos Khan tent were ambushed.In other words, the "Ming army swarming" that Boshuoketu had worried about had actually happened, but it was not "swarming", but slowly closing.

The veteran general immediately noticed the strangeness of the movements of the Ming army—according to common sense, the movement of the ambush should be as fast as possible, and those who were attacked were caught off guard. When the opponent is the Mongolian cavalry, there is almost none.

Because no one had ever hoped to rely on infantry to wipe out a Mongolian cavalry, and Ma Gui in front of him seemed to break this mindset.

The veteran frowned, how dare he underestimate Ma Gui now?Although Ma Gui's behavior is abnormal, in his opinion, it must be reasonable, but... Now I can't figure out why.

The only reason he could think of was that Ma Gui decided that he had to rescue Boshuoketu before he could break through, so as long as Boshuoketu was not found, Ma Gui would have time to slowly surround him.

But the veteran had no time to think about it, and could only continue to execute the previous order. The Ordos cavalry began to advance toward the minefield, unafraid of the threat of death.

The Ming army near Magui also kept the formation and moved forward slowly against the cold arrows shot from time to time, but the muskets in their hands never fired, as if they had to wait for the order to show their power.

Among the Mongolian cavalry, some elite archers can shoot farther than ordinary cavalry with a more powerful horse bow, but the Ming army used muskets, the range is basically the same, and it is meaningless to shoot less than a distance, so this For a period of time, the Ming army was almost beaten unilaterally.

But when the distance is closer, the situation is different.The veteran didn't notice how far apart the two sides were when the Ming army fired the first shot. In short, a row of Ming soldiers fired at the same time, and then another row interspersed from their side to the front, crouched down, Aim, shoot...

Just in one direction, the veteran was shocked to find that after three rounds of shooting, at least 300 elite sweat warriors of the Ordos Department fell down!
The power of the new firearms that the Ming army began to display during the Monan War seemed to be more powerful than the legends. The veteran felt a chill in his heart, and his intuition told him that today's troubles are very serious, and it may even be the result of his more than 20 years of combat career. biggest crisis ever faced.

However, at this time, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and order to continue.

Unexpectedly, a horse suddenly sprang out of the mine formation at this time, and a knight on the horse hid on the side with superb equestrian skills hiding in stirrups, and quickly rushed back to the Ordos cavalry formation.

"Jinong!" The veteran was actually only in his 40s, and saw that the trouser legs and riding boots exposed by the knight were exactly what Jinong was wearing, so he immediately made a gesture to stop the Mongolian cavalry from shooting.

The Ming army did not allow sporadic shooting because of the salvo, so they watched the knight rush back to the main line of Ordos.

When the knight returned to the formation, he no longer kept his posture of hiding in the stirrups, but turned around and sat up, as expected, it was Boshuoketu.

There was blood on Boshuoktu's body, but it looked like it wasn't his own. Apart from his pale face, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

The veteran hurriedly asked, "How is Jinong?"

Boshuoktu didn't answer, but looked around with a deep frown on his face, and said quickly: "Not good, if you don't break through the encirclement, you won't be able to leave today, look at them - they are all muskets and bayonets. "

The veteran said: "It's okay, as long as Jinong is safe and sound, we can leave now, there is still time." Then he raised his hand to give an order.

But by coincidence, Ma Gui spoke again not far away, and it was still the opening with a laugh that made him want to stab him in a thousand pieces: "Hahahaha, Boshuoketu, even now you still think you can Escape for life?"

Boshuoktu suffered from his loss just now, and now he doesn't want to answer him at all, and still signaled the veteran to order.Unexpectedly, Ma Gui's eyes seemed to be surprisingly good, but he continued to speak at the right time: "Do you think I only have one place where mines are buried?"

Boshuoktu was startled, he quickly grabbed the veteran's hand, and looked around suspiciously, as if to identify where there were landmines.It's a pity, how could he see this?

The veteran didn't dare to let Boshuoktu be bombed again, and he looked around, hoping to find out what was the difference between the land where the mines were buried and the normal ground.

But this is not fortunate. At a glance, a burst of despair suddenly rose in my heart, and my straight back suddenly collapsed.

Boshuoketu noticed something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The veteran pointed to the distance, and the whole person seemed to be drained of energy, and murmured: "The Tumut cavalry... Tuotuo has come in person."
