At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 112 Eastern Battlefield
After Jingyuan pacified Jianzhou Jurchen, he led his army westward and met the main force of the Tatar tribe in the Kaiyuan area.

The Tatar tribe was led by Tuotuobuhua himself, with a total of 10 horses, and almost all the tribes who could participate in the war were pulled out.

When the two armies met, both sides were very excited.

Tuotuobuhua thought that his side had the upper hand, and the main force of the Ming army was in Yumuchuan. The army in front of him was made up of patchwork, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

As long as the main force can be defeated, Duoyan Sanwei will definitely turn against him.

Jing Yuan was also eager to test the power of the new firearms. When he set off from the capital, the new firearms were given priority to the emperor's troops. He had only 1 horses in his hand, and he was equipped with [-] small Franco cannons and [-] pieces of firearms. Fire the gun.

The [-] Liaodong Army still used old-fashioned firearms, and Duoyan Sanwei's men and horses charged well, so don't think about firearms.

Especially the three guards of Duoyan, whose loyalty is still unknown, but the grassland has always only admired the strong, and the only way for them to surrender completely is to defeat the main force of the Tatars head-on.

That's it, it's done!
Tatar Department, the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Report to the Great Khan, the Ming army has launched an attack on our position!"

Tuotuobuhua was a little surprised, he had [-] soldiers, and the Ming army didn't choose to set up camp, but rushed straight over!
What is this operation?
One hundred thousand against sixty thousand, don't you know how to count?

At this time, a man stood up and said, "Father, my son, please be the vanguard and destroy the arrogance of the Ming army!"

Tuotuobuhua followed the prestige, and it was his eldest son Tuogusi who was talking.

"That's good, you lead [-] elite cavalry to take the lead!"

"Yes!"

Following an order, Tuo Gusi led [-] cavalry out of the camp and went straight to the Ming army's position.

At the same time, the formation of the Ming army began to change, the artillery began to adjust the angle, and two thousand musketeers were also preparing.

However, Tuo Gusi is not a fool. He has long known that the firearms of the Ming army are powerful. The intervals are also large.

In his understanding, the artillery of the Ming army is just a big iron lump, and if the distance is larger, the chance of being hit will be much smaller.

The flags of the Ming army's position continued, and the formation began to adjust.

In the end, [-] people from the Beijing camp rushed to the forefront, and the artillery and muskets were ready.

The battle was about to break out, but there were some disturbances on Jing Yuan's side.

First, Fan Guang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, came to his door. He believed that the Beijing camp was the main force and should be put at the end, so that the Liaodong soldiers and horses should go first.

The implication is that you are the main force at the beginning of the fight. Do you look down on our Liaodong Army?

Immediately afterwards, Ar Qiman, the commander of Duoyanwei, came to negotiate on behalf of Duoyan Sanwei.

The three guards of Duoyan agreed that they, the Mongolian cavalry, should take the lead in the charge. No matter how elite the Ming army cavalry was, they were not at the same level as them.

Although they all knew that leading the battle would definitely face huge casualties, and they might not be able to break through the opponent's line of defense, but it was an insult to the cavalry to let the cavalry stand by at the back and the infantry stand at the front!

In other words, the Ming army did not trust Duoyan Sanwei at all!
This is the root cause of their anger.

I can be unfaithful to you, but you have to trust me!

Jing Yuan just laughed and said, "I don't have time to explain to you now. Listen to the order. Duoyan Sanwei's cavalry moves to the left side of the position. When the enemy is defeated, immediately launch a charge!"

A'erqi said heartily, you are so confident, how do you know that he will be defeated?

Fan Guang was even more puzzled and asked, "Master Captain, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, just follow behind the team."

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about, obey orders!"

Fan Guang had no choice but to back down.

Ten thousand Tatar cavalry rushed in like a tide, and when they got close to the Ming army's position, they drew out their bows and arrows one after another, and at the same time lowered their bodies as much as possible.

Sure enough, the infantry in the front row of the Ming army quickly separated. The front row was rattan players, and then there were three rows of musketeers.

Behind them, thirty Franco cannons were ready, their black muzzles pointed forward.

"Report, the Tatar cavalry is five hundred paces away from our position!"

"Report, the Tatar cavalry is four hundred paces away from our position!"

"Report, the Tatar cavalry is three hundred steps away from our position!"

When the distance was three hundred steps, Jing Yuan resolutely gave the order: "Fire!"

boom!
boom!
boom!
Thirty Franco cannons spit out flames, firing a salvo at the Tatar cavalry.

This is an explosive bomb, which exploded when it hit the Tatar cavalry formation, and all the people fell on their backs.

Tuo Gusi suddenly turned pale with shock, the firearms of the Ming army far exceeded his expectations, and the power was so powerful.

The matter has come to this point, it is too late to retreat, and they have to rush over despite the casualties.

The Fran cannon was loaded very fast, and immediately another round of salvo was fired.

The Tatar cavalry was reduced rapidly, and 1% of the [-] horses were lost.

After two rounds of riding and shooting, Tuo Gusi had come to the front of the Ming army less than a hundred steps away, and without hesitation, he drew his bow and shot out.

This is what the Mongols are best at riding and shooting. They can still maintain the strength and accuracy of bows and arrows during high-speed travel.

Generally speaking, after a few rounds of volleys, the opponent has already been defeated. At this time, if you charge again, the battle will be over.

However, the rattan players in the front row of the Ming army formed a solid barrier to block the flying arrows.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Tuo Gusi drew out his knife and rushed forward with a loud cry.

Behind him, the cavalry drew their swords one after another, ready to enter the enemy's formation.

Suddenly, the formation of the Ming army changed again, the rattan players retreated, and the musketeers moved forward.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The muskets of the Ming army were fired, row after row, continuously.

Tuo Gusi had studied the firearms of the Ming army very well. At this critical moment, he suddenly turned down and hid his body in the belly of the horse, avoiding the firearms of the Ming army.

Immediately afterwards, he turned up again and returned to the horseback.

After this set of skilled movements, Togusi showed a smug smile.

Next, let you see and see...

boom!
boom!
boom!
Intensive gunshots sounded again, and Togusi hadn't reacted yet, only felt shot in the chest and fell off the horse.

How... so fast...

The cavalry behind them were still rushing forward at high speed, unable to dodge at all. Countless horseshoes stepped on them, and they died if they didn't die.

At a distance of only a hundred steps, the Tatar cavalry charged like crazy, but the gunshots in the Ming army formation were very dense, like a firepower net, which could not be broken through at all.

After several rounds of volleys, the Tatar cavalry suffered heavy casualties, more than half of which were lost.

A'er Qiman was also stunned. He never thought that in just one year, the firearms of the Ming army had developed to such a terrifying level!

At this time, the horn sounded, and he realized that it was time to act.

"Everyone, charge!"

The Tatars have already been routed, and now the attack is to beat the dog in the water, and it is cheap for nothing!
