Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 851 Desert Battle
Not long after Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang led his men to get ready, the five thousand cavalry of the Yarkand Khanate rushed in front of them. The scimitars they held up high were shining with a dazzling cold light, and they looked at the Ming army's scimitars with disdain.

"Avoid the frontal impact of the horse and kill the enemy!"

Under the command of the officer, the Ming army grasped the bayonet-mounted rifled gun with both hands and quickly avoided the frontal impact of the horse. Suddenly, it swept across the front legs of the horse from the side. Entering the body of the cavalry, the horse fell to the ground together with the cavalry...

The speed of war horses in the desert can't get up, it's much slower than usual, and the impact force will be reduced accordingly. The Ming army is divided into groups, basically a group of four against a cavalry.

Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang didn't use swords at all. They held a pistol in each hand. As long as anyone approached them, they would be killed immediately, and a scuffle broke out like this.

Under the coordinated operations of the Ming army, the opponent's cavalry could not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and the four of them had no pressure to deal with one cavalry. Relying on the length of the rifled gun, they could be picked off the horse very quickly.

Even if they encountered a powerful opponent, the soldiers of the Ming army were not afraid. The worst would be to kill them with their guns. If they hadn't received the mission to hold back the opponent, they might have defeated the five thousand cavalry in no time.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed past the Ming army to stop and killed the camel caravan. In the end, they were all shot down by Huang Dahu. As soon as they saw that they were in any danger, the two brothers immediately shot to help.

This style of play is more laborious for the Ming army, and it is not cool to shoot directly with a rifled gun, but it still has the upper hand against the Yarkand Khanate cavalry who have been fighting for a long time.The Ming army already had an advantage in numbers, and they took out their pistols and fired a few shots from time to time. The cavalrymen of the Yarkand Khanate could only parry.

It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Yarkand Khanate cavalry is poor, but all of them are very good at riding. Seeing that the situation is not good, several cavalry hurriedly urged their horses to withdraw from the battle and shouted in front of Hami's horse:
"General, the number of opponents is only more than 1, but the combat power is very strong. We can't stop them. The camel caravan is 100 meters behind them. General, please launch an attack immediately to snatch the supplies of the Ming army..."

Their words caught Hami Chi a moment:
"What? Didn't the Ming army have 10 troops? How come there are only 1 people here?"

I wanted to ask the scouts these words, but Hamichi asked the cavalry instead, how could they know!

Under normal circumstances, you can't talk nonsense about things you don't know, but these cavalry just now felt that the strength of the Ming army was no more than that, it was just that the magic weapon in their hands was powerful.

They looked at the more than 2 troops behind Hami Chi, and believed that as long as more than 2 cavalry rushed, they would definitely destroy the Ming army. They didn't care where the other Ming troops were!

"General, this must be the vanguard of the Ming army. Their other troops should still be behind. There is still a camel caravan behind the Ming army. Please order the general to attack. We can make a quick decision and evacuate before the main force of the Ming army arrives. , the general must have done a great job at that time, and now the position of governor of Kashgar is still vacant..."

"Yes, it is difficult to guarantee the logistics of 10,000+ people marching in the desert. They must be acting separately. Please order the general to attack. We will kill these Ming troops and snatch their camel caravans and run away. The Ming troops will not be able to chase after them. Come on us..."

Hami Chi, who has always been cunning, was under his command one by one camel team, one by one by the governor of Kashgar, and he was itching to talk about it. You must know that these are very tempting.

The life and death of the governor of Kashgar is unknown. If he can take the position of the governor of Kashgar, it will be smoke from his ancestral grave, and those ministers and generals who look down on him will look at him with admiration.

Taking a closer look at the situation on the battlefield, he found that the Ming army and his own cavalry were fighting together, and Hamichi knew that as long as they rushed forward together, the Ming army would be defeated.

Hamichi, who has always been cunning, was finally confused by the governor of Kashgar and the camel team of the Ming army this time. He turned around and said to the lieutenant beside him:
"Saba, you immediately lead [-] cavalry to kill the Ming army as quickly as possible, and then grab the Ming army's camel caravan and evacuate quickly."

"Yes"

Saba led the order, and the cavalry behind him waved:

"Let's go, follow General Ben to grab the camel caravan..."

"Come on, grab the camel team..."

Hearing the camel caravan, these cavalry immediately became energetic. Who didn't know that Daming is so rich now, can the Ming army's camel caravan be worse?It must be supplies and gold and silver treasures. They yelled loudly and followed Saba to kill the Ming army.

But Hami Chi was still Hami Chi, not only did he not kill the enemy himself, but he still left 2000 troops to protect himself for safety reasons.

"General, the Ming army has swept our army almost all the way since the Western Expedition. Finally, there is a chance to make meritorious service, and let the subordinates also chop off a few Ming army heads..."

Although Hamichi wanted to step forward to check the situation, he didn't have the guts. To be more precise, he was always ready to escape, and safety came first for him.

As the general of an army, the honor earned by those 2 people is also his responsibility, so why bother to take risks:
"Shut up, general. You think the Ming army's head is so easy to chop off. Although the gold and silver are good, you have to live to enjoy them. What if the Ming army has an ambush?"

"Yes"

These 2000 people are all his confidantes. Hearing what Hami Chi said, they also came up with the idea of ​​picking heads.

Seeing that almost all the [-] cavalry from Yili of the Yarkand Khanate had gone up, Zhu Cihong immediately issued an order:

"Pass the order of my palace to let Zhang Fugui and the others retreat and defend. General Li led the peripheral troops to quickly encircle the enemy on three sides. Zhang Lu, you lead 2000 people to hunt down those cavalry who did not enter the ambush circle. Kill as many as you can, try not to Chased too far."

"Yes"

Zhu Cihong gave an order, and the army immediately encircled the Yarkand cavalry from three directions, and Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang also led the Ming army to retreat immediately.

Seeing that the Ming army suddenly retreated when they had the upper hand, the opponent's cavalry didn't know what they wanted to do for a while, but when they looked back, they immediately found their main force rushing, and instantly understood what was going on.

"Brothers, the general led the army to support us, kill Minggou!"

Seeing the suddenly high morale of the Yarkand cavalry, Zhang Fugui immediately issued an order:
"Quick, run out of bullets in your guns and retreat quickly!"

The general ordered, and the soldiers of the Ming army no longer held back, and immediately drew their guns and shot at the cavalry:

"Bang bang..."

The number was already superior, but now they all showed their pistols suddenly, and the gunshots sounded one after another. The cavalrymen who were close to the Ming army were killed countless, and the others did not dare to chase forward, so they could only wait for the large troops to come. They rushed together.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang led their subordinates back to Huang Dahu's position to rest, and Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohuang immediately led their subordinates to line up ten meters in front of Zhang Fugui and others.
