The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 247 Wala was defeated and rushed to the battle alone

Mahamu is so weird, instead of crossing the river to attack the Ming army formation, he stopped, waited for the Ming army to cross the river, and then attacked halfway?

Li Yu was still wearing that flamboyant golden armor, riding on a horse, standing beside Zhu Di, looking at the figure of Mahamu under the wolf's head on the other side from a distance, thinking in his heart, should he take out David Crowe by mistake? Give this guy a shot, and everyone doesn't have to play down?
At this moment, Zhu Di moved his lips lightly, and said two words coldly: "Fire!"

The messenger behind him immediately waved the command flag, and the order was quickly conveyed.

Less than three breaths later, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, who had been prepared for a long time, ignited the artillery fuze. In the next moment, there were several consecutive bangs, and more than 30 solid iron bullets rushed out of the muzzle with huge kinetic energy, straight Facing the Oala army on the opposite bank, they smashed over.

The effect is barely strong.

For the convenience of marching, the artillery equipped in the Shenji Battalion is not large in caliber, not the kind that weighs several thousand catties, but installed on a wooden cart with low rear wheels, which can be dragged by two horses.

Strong mobility, but small power, short range.

Basically, more than half of the shells hit the front of the Oirat army, and only a dozen lucky projectiles smashed into the army formation, killing and injuring several Oirats, causing local chaos.

Before the Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army opened fire for the second time, Mahamu urgently commanded the army to retreat [-] feet, just in time for the second wave of projectiles.

It hit the ground, bounced up, and limped a few horse legs.

Mahamu looked up at the sky.

In the clear sky in the morning, patches of dark clouds floated in at some point, blocking the sun, and it was gloomy, as if it was going to rain in the next second.

Drag it!The longer you delay, the better for yourself!As long as the Ming army crosses the river, no matter how shallow the river is, the formation will be chaotic, and the troops on their side will rush forward!If the Ming army didn't cross the river, hehe, Mahamu smiled proudly, anyway, he was not in a hurry, as long as it rained, the Ming army's Shenji Battalion would be abolished!
How Arutai was defeated, Arutai sent someone to inform. It seems that there is a very powerful firecracker in the Ming army. Fortunately, the number is probably not many, only a thousand or so.

"Cunning!" Zhu Di cursed bitterly.

Mahamu's little calculation was quite practical. When infantry crossed the river, they would be attacked halfway; sending [-] battalions of cavalry across the river to meet the battle would not work.

The horse under his crotch snorted violently, and Zhu Di looked up at the gloomy sky. It might rain at any moment. When it rained, the water level might rise sharply, and most of the artillery of the Shenji Camp would be useless.

However, Zhu Di sneered, no matter how cunning you Mahamu are, you would never have imagined that my new musket is not afraid of rain, right?
The musketeers of the Shenji Camp were all equipped with bamboo hats, the projectiles and gunpowder were all custom-made, and the ignition device was a flintlock. As long as there was no heavy rain, they could still keep firing continuously.

Zhu Di has been in the army since he was a teenager. When he was the king of Yan, he led troops out of the Great Wall many times to march north. After Jingnan was four years old, he went to Arutai by himself. He is in his 50s and has been fighting for most of his life. , Mahamu's little tricks are all left over from his play.

"Order the [-] Battalion to protect the two wings, and let the young army cross the river. Like last time, I will be beaten by the Wala!"

"Shenjiying cross the river! As soon as the Oirats come into range, stop and shoot immediately!"

"The Fifth Army Battalion of the Chinese Army followed up and protected the Shenji Battalion after the Oirat cavalry rushed over."

"Yes!" Several messengers rushed away, conveying Zhu Di's order to each army.

Zhu Di's response method is very simple.

As the saying goes, one force can reduce ten wisdom, regardless of whether the army is chaotic or not, the new firearms replaced by Shenjiying have greatly improved shooting accuracy and distance. There is no need for segmented shooting at all, and only rely on personal marksmanship to shoot accurately.

The Shenji Battalion uses front-loading rifles. Although the reloading is a bit slow, the range is farther than the rear-loading guns of the young army!Even counting from [-] paces, when the Oirat cavalry rushed in front of them, it was enough for the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to fire four or five rounds!
Moreover, the Shenji Battalion not only has muskets and cannons, but also other firearms such as swarms of bees and other firearms. When going into battle, they don't simply face the enemy directly. There is a row of soldiers with giant shields at the front to help cover the enemy. For bows and arrows, behind the shield wall, there are two rows of spearmen to prevent the enemy cavalry from charging!
Moreover, the musketeers and artillerymen of the Shenji Battalion also had a waist knife for self-defense.

In order to prevent their own people from blocking the shooting range, the spearmen and artillery stayed in the Fifth Army Battalion in this river crossing operation, and only the shieldmen were brought.

The shieldmen, all with big arms and round waists, held huge iron-clad shields, and slowly entered the Onan River; behind them, the musketeers of the Shenji Battalion followed closely behind the shieldmen with their muzzles resting on the shields. Above; behind the soldiers in the first row, the guns of the soldiers in the second row rest on the shoulders of the first row, and so on...

There are 500 people in each row, stretching for nearly one mile, and there are ten rows in total.

On the left and right of Shenji Battalion, the [-] cavalry battalions were divided into two groups and closely guarded.

Behind the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion followed closely.

On the far left, under the leadership of Fan Zhong, a thousand young troops have crossed the Onan River.

The Wala army, under the wolf's head, Mahamu drew out his scimitar and swung it forward.

"Warriors! Go up! Kill the Bright Army!"

The Wala army was divided into three groups, with [-] cavalry attacking the Ming army head-on, and [-] cavalry each on the left and right. Under the leadership of the captain, they attacked the two wings of the Ming army; Here, stay under the big banner of the wolf's head, and move when the time comes.

The shieldmen in the front row had just stepped on the land on the opposite bank, and the howling Oala army was about to enter the range; the shieldmen quickly squatted down, carrying the slanted shields on their shoulders, revealing the musketeers behind them; the musketeers aimed quickly.

After two hundred steps, there was a continuous crackling sound of explosions, and the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, which almost blocked the figure of the Ming army.

The Oirat cavalry who were charging on the opposite side fell down layer by layer like wheat cut by a scythe. The fallen men and horses or their companions who had stumbled and had no time to dodge behind them.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion did not give the Oirats a chance, quickly loaded the projectiles, and shot quickly...

Boom!There was a thunderclap in the sky, followed by a drizzle of rain.

The musketeers of the Shenji Battalion wore bamboo hats, and the brims of the hats just covered the medicine chambers of the muskets. The continuous rain of bullets fired from their hands was like drizzle from the sky, and the endless stream of life of the Reaper Wala cavalry.

With the wolf's head under the banner, Mahamu opened his mouth wide, looking at the tribal warriors who were knocked down on the battlefield, with an extremely wonderful expression on his face.

Alu Tai pit Lao Tzu!

He knew that the Ming army had a new type of firecracker, but he really didn't expect that this new type of firecracker could hit so far, and there were so many of them!
He has seen firecrackers before, and it is not bad if you can hit thirty steps. It has no big effect except to frighten horses!

But these in front of you, are they called firecrackers?

Alutai, you son of a bitch!

Mahamu cursed in his heart, suddenly felt a little bit of coolness on his face, when he looked up, the drizzle just fell.

Finally saved!When it rains, the firearms of the Ming army can no longer be used!Mahamu was overjoyed, and quickly looked at the battlefield, but suddenly saw an incredible scene.

The Shenji Battalion of the Ming Army can shoot in the rain!At this time, the warriors under his command, because they were constantly knocked down, the men and horses completely blocked the charge route, and they had already stopped, just a hundred steps away from the Ming army, and they were constantly beaten!
The [-] cavalry who were in charge of attacking the left and right wings of the Ming army went smoothly. After riding and shooting twice, they have already fought together in the [-] battalion of the Ming army. Although the armor and weapons are not as good as the opponent's, they have an advantage in numbers and are currently evenly matched. .

But what's the use!

Seeing the defeat on the frontal battlefield, even if the left and right wings took advantage of it, so what!What's more, in the three thousand battalions of the Ming army, there were very few Han people, and most of them were Mongols who had defected to the Ming Dynasty!
When the absolute strength is enough to crush the enemy, it doesn't matter what tactic is or not, just attacking in one wave is the best tactic!

Marching long distances for several months, the outcome of the war was decided in just one day. What's more, the Ming army used weapons beyond the age. It's just a cold number.

The victory or defeat was already decided as soon as the two armies came into contact. The so-called defeat was like a mountain.

"Haha!" Zhu Di held the diorama that Fanbang paid tribute to, and played happily on the horse. The outcome was clear, and he waved his hand: "Grandson, follow Grandpa to cross the river! Today Grandpa will teach you how to... …Um?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the grandson who was still by his side just now disappeared. He hurriedly looked around. Li Yu was wearing a gold armor that was flamboyant and extremely attractive to hatred, which was very easy to find on the battlefield.

Without much effort, Zhu Di found the figure of Taisun.

On the other side of the Onan River, on the edge of the right wing of the battlefield, a golden figure riding a fast horse hurriedly joined the right wing with the [-] Battalion who shot and killed the enemy's [-] young troops.

"This kid, he didn't respect the military order, and attacked without authorization! Last time he did a great job, so let me spare you, let's see how grandpa treats you this time!" Zhu Di muttered angrily, and waved his hand: "The whole army crosses the river! General attack! "

Li Yu quietly turned his horse's head and left the Chinese army when the old man was concentrating on observing the battle situation of Shenji Battalion.He is a grandson, and none of the soldiers dared to stop him. By the time the generals on the edge of the army reacted, Li Yu had already raised his horse speed and crossed the river.

Successfully meeting with Fan Zhong's troops, Li Yu jumped to rein in and stopped Fan Zhong who was saluting.

"Did you see the big wolf-headed banner over there? Mahamu is right below! Do you dare to come with me and catch him back!?"

"This..." Fan Zhong was very moved, but he didn't dare to take risks considering his status as the grandson.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't go, I will go by myself!"

Li Yu didn't dare to procrastinate, because at this time, Mahamu saw that the defeat was over, and he had already begun to send orders to withdraw his troops and retreat.

"drive!"

With a sudden twitch of the horse's buttocks, the Dawanliang horse under his crotch rushed towards Mahamu's main formation quickly.

Fan Zhong suddenly became furious!

This grandson is really a fucking tiger!Too bad!Ride alone?Have you read too much popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms?In case the grandson makes a mistake, he, Fan Zhong, and this thousand young army, don't even think about who the hell!

"Follow Taisun! Hurry up!"

Fan Zhong urgently ordered that the young army ride horses and gallop. Unfortunately, the young army is riding a decent Mongolian horse. It is short, has good stamina, and is good at running. One of the breeds of military horses, but its explosive power is not as good as the Dawan horse under Li Yu's crotch!

"Grandfather! Slow down! Wait for me! Drive! Drive!"

The defeat has been decided, and Mahamu is urgently ordering the [-] royal guards to retreat, and plans to retreat to the north with the herdsmen.

As for the [-] troops who were anxiously fighting with the Ming army on the battlefield, they could no longer take care of them. They could only be left behind to help hold back the Ming army and buy themselves time to retreat.

Just after he gave the order, Mahamu was about to steer his horse back to flee, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw a touch of gold on the edge of the battlefield on the left, carrying a stream of smoke and dust, rushing towards him quickly.

what?
Mahamu was stunned for a moment, staring at it, but saw a golden armored general, riding a tall horse, wielding a weapon in his hand, constantly beheading the Oala warriors who blocked the way; behind him, followed by about a thousand people The cavalry of the Ming army kept putting firecrackers on their horses, and the surrounding Oala warriors were constantly knocked down.

In this daze, the golden-armored general was already less than half a mile away from him. Judging by the momentum of his charge, he should be coming towards him.

Mahamu was furious!
Although Lao Tzu was defeated, there are still ten thousand troops under his command. If you dare to charge with only a thousand people, don’t you look down on the heroes of the world too much?
However, the situation on the battlefield is urgent, maybe this general is here to hold him back?Forget it, and spare his life!Just when Mahamu ordered a thousand-man team to stop this team of Mingqi, a long voice entered his ears.

"I am the grandson of Emperor Ming, Mahamu dares to fight!!!"

What the hell?
Mahamu was stunned, and then a feeling of joy welled up in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to see the hope of getting out of his body!
The emperor's grandson of the Ming Dynasty committed suicide. As long as he is captured, he can threaten Zhu Di to retreat.

Of course, he must be captured alive, and he must not kill the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Zhu Di will never die with him!

"Quick! Turn the horse's head! Sengge! Su Ritu! Take your warriors and take down that grandson in golden armor for me! You want to live! Those who capture the grandson of Daming alive will be promoted to the head of the ten thousand and reward the ten thousand sheep." Only!" Mahamu called to stop the two commanders in the Wangting's personal guards.

Rumble!
Nearly [-] horseshoes trampled on the ground, and the knight on horseback waved a scimitar with a ferocious and excited expression. Li Yu was not afraid. Looking at this group of Oirat cavalry who dared not even shoot arrows, he suddenly understood what happened. thing.

Emotional mahamu treats me like a fat sheep!Then let us see who is the fat sheep!

Li Yu slowed down the speed of the horse a little, and waited for Fan Zhong to catch up. Before Fan Zhong could speak, he jumped off the horse and threw the reins to Fan Zhong.

"Take care of my horse!"

After finishing speaking, he raised the horse, jumped a few times, and rushed towards the two thousand Wala cavalry. Before leaving, he specially shouted: "Taizu protect me!"

Fan Zhong was taken aback by Li Yu's operation. He took the reins of the Dawan horse in a daze, and just watched His Royal Highness Taisun rushing towards the Wala people alone, until a hundred household officials beside him pulled him , he reacted.

"Damn it! You're all stupid! Hurry up and protect the grandson!!!"
