Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 911 Fierce Battle

After all, the Kazakh Khanate and the Shuo Khanate had 1 troops. Although more than [-] people were killed or injured in the Ming army's shelling, they still had [-] to [-] troops. Spread out and fight towards the Ming army camp.

As they got closer and closer to the trenches, Zhu Cihong waved his hand to stop the shelling. If the shelling continued, the Ming army might be injured, which must not happen.

Zhu Cihong has already seen through the binoculars that the shelling just now has caused a lot of shock and damage to the coalition forces of the two countries. Now you can hand over these barbarians to Li Yan and Zhang Fugui in the trenches, while he himself boarded the barracks On a high ground, soldiers of the Ming army watched the battle with binoculars in their hands.

Seeing that the coalition forces that had just been bombarded calmed down so quickly and spread out to attack the Ming army from three directions, Zhu Cihong was also a little nervous. This was the first time the trenches were used, and he didn't know how effective they would be.

Fortunately, when the trench was dug, it was dug around the barracks on three sides, otherwise there would definitely be coalition cavalry rushing into the barracks, and now the Ming army should be able to kill the coalition forces in three directions.

Zhu Cihong looked back at the river behind the barracks and asked Zhang Wu:

"Zhang Wu, how many guards are there by the river, beware of Tartars wading in the water and attacking."

Zhang Wunai is the son of Zhang Huangyan. Like Zhu Cihong and Zhang Fugui, they are both graduates of the Royal Military Academy. Hearing the prince's question, he raised his hand to salute Zhu Cihong and said:
"Your Highness, the river is not deep, but the Tartars came from the opposite direction, so they probably wouldn't make a detour to sneak attack. There are 5000 people defending there, including fifty tiger squatting cannons and big bright guns. It should be safe."

"Is the river not deep?"

Zhang Wu's words immediately moved Zhu Cihong's heart, and she thought of a good idea.

Zhang Wu nodded:
"Half a person deep, the shore is condescending, and the defense with artillery and muskets is foolproof."

Zhu Cilang pondered for a while and said:
"You and Zhang Lu immediately lead 2 people to ford across the river from behind, go around behind the Tartars and cut off their retreat, and immediately attack their rear from the outside when they see the signal, pay attention to the whereabouts of the troops on the way, once someone finds you, as long as It's not Han who kills immediately!"

"Yes"

Zhang Wu received the order, turned around and was about to leave when Zhu Cihong reminded her:
"Bring two hundred mortars!"

"Yes"

As soon as Zhu Cihong sent Zhang Wu away, the coalition cavalry in front of the barracks rushed to a distance of about 500 meters in front of the trench, and they could cross the trench in just a dozen breaths.

Of course, this kind of situation can only happen when no one is defending. When the Tartar allied forces were rectifying the chaotic army, Li Yan, Zhang Fugui, Huang Dahu, and Huang Xiaohu had already divided up their tasks quickly to meet the allied cavalry.

As the No. [-] figure in the Ming army's western expedition, Li Yan stood in the trench to direct the battle like several young generals. Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was about to enter the range, Li Yan sent an order:
"Listen, soldiers, the opponents are all cavalry, don't let them enter the distance of 100 meters, shoot at 200 meters, all sniper teams pay attention, your task is to shoot the opponent's commander and the fish that slipped through the net."

"Yes"

As soon as Li Yan's order was conveyed, the coalition cavalry rushed to about 300 meters in front of the trench. They only paid attention to the charge but didn't notice that there were countless black muzzles quietly protruding from the trench.

"Bang bang..."

The fastest soldier who rushed hundreds of times had just rushed 200 meters in front of the trench when he suddenly saw tongues of fire erupting from the trench, and then felt as if his body had been hit by something. When he looked down, he saw bloody arrows spurting out out, and then fell off the horse.

"thump……"

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da……"

"Puff puff……"

The sound of horseshoes and gunshots echoed each other, and rows of coalition cavalry fell off their horses...

Don't say that you can't hit at 200 meters. Facing such a dense crowd, the Ming army didn't need to be accurate at all. They just fired at the cavalry rushing. Someone will always be hit by bullets. In this case, they can't hit. Harder than hitting.

"Bang bang..."

With the fierce gunshots, clouds of white smoke rose from the trenches of the Ming army, and the cavalrymen of the coalition army who rushed to the front were shot and fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled into flesh by the horses rushing up from behind.

"Report profusely, there are musketeers ambushing under the mound in front of the Ming army camp, our army has suffered heavy casualties..."

"what?"

When they found that the Ming army was ambushing in the trench, someone urged their horses to report to the coaches of the two countries. Jill and Abra were a little dumbfounded at the time. They had never seen any trenches before. Like a fool.

As for digging a trench on the ground, the soldiers lie down in the trench and you shoot out. This is the first time they have heard of it.

The Ming army didn't care what the Tartars thought, the gunshots never stopped for a moment, and the young generals all held rifles in their hands to shoot at the cavalry who looked like officers.

"Rush forward, don't retreat..."

"boom"

"puff"

"Shoot them..."

"puff……"

A hundred households of the coalition forces of the two countries were commanding their subordinates to continue to charge when they were suddenly hit by a mini-bomb. Either their heads were blown off or a blood hole appeared in their chests.

As for the armor on their bodies, it was exactly the same in front of the Minnie bullets of the Ming army as if they were not wearing armor, and they were easily penetrated by the Minnie bullets.

Without the commander's command, the coalition cavalry immediately fell into chaos, and what awaited them was still the ruthless shooting of the Minie bullets.

"Quick, order to suspend the attack!"

The two army commanders of the Kazakh Khanate, Taiji and the Shuo Khanate, were not slow to react. Seeing that the cavalry of the two countries had been beaten into a mess by the Ming army, they immediately ordered the suspension of the attack. attack.

A sad horn sounded, which was the sound the cavalry of the two countries wanted to hear most now. They stopped charging immediately, but there were too many people, and even if they wanted to retreat for a short time, they could not retreat. The inertia of the impact still made many cavalry Killed by a mini bomb.

After half a stick of incense, the cavalry of the two countries finally withdrew from the range of the Ming army. Zhu Cihuang saw the opponent retreat, but he did not order the cavalry to attack, which also let the coaches of the two countries give a sigh of relief.

The other party still had so many troops, it would be difficult to avoid casualties if the Ming cavalry attacked. Now the prairie under their feet is the territory of the Kazakh Khanate. Zhu Cihong knew that they could not give up and would definitely charge the Ming army, so he sent an order:
"Herald, pass on the order of my palace. The soldiers in the trenches immediately check their guns and ammunition, and are ready to welcome the cavalry of the two countries to charge again at any time. Before they come up, replenish drinking water and dry food as soon as possible. I don't know when this battle will end. Eat enough Drink enough and beat the tartar well."

"Yes"

As soon as Zhu Cihong gave the order, the messengers immediately got busy and immediately conveyed the order from His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Attention all military officers, His Royal Highness ordered to check guns and ammunition to replenish drinking water and dry food..."

The Ming army in the trenches received the order and immediately began to check the guns and ammunition. There were a lot of ammunition prepared and enough for use, but the guns were a little hot, but it was not a big problem.

They immediately sat on the ground with their backs against the earthen wall, then took out water bottles from their waists to drink water, and at the same time took out dry food for use. good.
