Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 803 The Mongolian army breaks through the three-lane chariot formation and brave cavalry appear in the finale.

The more the Ming army fought, the more confident they became, while the more the Mongolian army fought, the more guilty they became.

Although the battlefield is changing rapidly, anything can happen. But the Ming army only had to grit their teeth and hold on, and once the reinforcements arrived, the dust settled.

The Mongolian army had no backup, so the attack became more urgent.

Polo was in the middle of the army, looking at the stalemate on the battlefield, almost biting his steel teeth into pieces, and lamented why he was so unlucky. The main force of the Mongolian army in Hetao had nothing to do. The Ming army relied on the dangers of the mountains and rivers and the solidity of the castle to hide and refuse to fight.

Liaodong is a secondary battlefield, so I just want to constrain the Ming army and achieve the strategic goal.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered on the front lines in Shenyang and Haizhou, fighting in a group, with a tendency to fight to the death. This is not bullying honest people.

After raising troops for thousands of days and deploying troops for a while, this Mongolian army, which had not participated in a major war for ten years, was very powerful. It only took one hour to break through the second line of tank defense of the Ming army.

There was only the last line of defense left in front of them. After breaking through the third line of tank defense, the Ming army's position was penetrated from the middle.

Bolai gritted his teeth and sent 3,000 fresh troops from the rear to attack them, trying to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Three thousand cavalry withstood a round of artillery fire from the Ming army on the top of the mountain. After losing hundreds of men and horses, they also entered the battlefield.

The Japanese soldiers transferred from Shandong showed great bravery.

Gu Zhong silently watched the battlefield and had no intention of continuing to invest his elite troops. The King of Chushan volunteered from the side: "General Soldier Gu, we three brothers are willing to lead the escort to join the battlefield and make contributions to the country."

Gu Zhong: "No, swords and guns have no eyesight. If the three highnesses make any mistakes, how will the general bear the consequences?"

The king of Chushan insisted: "Serve the country and die without regrets. We are the descendants of Taizu, there is no reason to shy away from fighting."

Gu Zhong still refused. The three kings and their guards came over the mountains and ridges. They were not wearing heavy armor at all. When they arrived on the battlefield, they could not shoot accurately every time.

The King of Chushan refused to give up, and argued with Gu Zhong back and forth, and finally asked firmly: "General Gu will give us armor, and we will wear it before going into battle. That's all right."

Gu Zhong could not be entangled, so he had to reply: "Then please be careful, your three highnesses. You can only assist in defense, and there is no need to attack."

After that, Gu Zhong asked his deputy to take the King of Chushan to receive the armor.

Itani Tadashi felt that the war was close to breaking through the deadlock, and it would take a long time to put on armor. By the time King Chushan and his guards were ready, the close fight between his own infantry and the enemy's cavalry around the car formation would have come to an end.

Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Polo once again invested three thousand troops. Gu Zhong mobilized another two thousand Japanese soldiers to attack.

After fighting for a while, the three brothers of Chushan King also joined the battle with their three thousand guards.

As Gu Zhong expected, the Mongolian army was at the end of its tether.

Bolai still had 8,000 troops on the north side of the Ming army and 6,000 troops on the south side, but none of them were engaged in battle.

But Bolai did not dare to continue this 'fueling tactic' with Gu Zhong, because the Ming army also had close to 20,000 people who had not yet entered the battle.

Once the two sides get angry at each other, increase the pressure step by step, and throw all their new forces into the battlefield, the best outcome for them will be a miserable victory or defeat.

The key point is that if they really fight like this, even if they win a tragic victory, Fan Guang's army will arrive soon after.

If you don't have any fresh troops, how can you fight Fan Guang?

So when the three brothers of Chushan King led their guards to go up, they found that it was not very difficult after all.

With the bodies of chariots and horses blocking the way, the Mongolian army could not charge forward. If you can't take advantage of the cavalry's charging advantage, you can only shoot arrows at them.

At this time, the Ming army generally wore heavy armor, and at least half of the Mongolian army wore light armor. The gap appeared immediately. The Ming army received two arrows, so it was not a big problem. If many Mongolian soldiers were hit by two arrows, they would be killed or dismounted. Moreover, the Mongolian army had to guard against arrows on their horses, but the Ming army had no such worries.

The iron control that lasted for ten years during the Jingtai Dynasty still played a certain role.

After typing, it was afternoon. The two parties fought for a long time, and both had lost their strength.

Gu Zhongchuan issued an order, ordering all the Ming troops who were engaged in the battle to withdraw to the Japanese soldiers' camp on the south side. The third car camp defense line could no longer be defended.

The Mongolian army was overjoyed when they saw this, and quickly moved their chariots, cleared obstacles, and prepared to completely penetrate the Ming army's formation.

But when the chariots were moved away, the Mongolian army was surprised to find that there were thousands of Ming army cavalry waiting to work behind this line of defense.

What's happening here? The information passed by the traitors in Shenyang City only stated that the army consisted of 10,000 Shenshu camps and 20,000 Japanese soldiers, but it did not say that there were thousands of elite heavy armored cavalry.

Gu Zhong stood on the top of the mountain and smiled slightly. What he wanted was the bewildered expression of the Mongolian army. The 5,000-strong cavalry battalion transferred by Duke An is waiting to carry out the final massacre on you.

The Xiaoqi camp is different from the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers have not experienced much actual combat, but the Xiaoqi camp is the elite of the Shaanxi-Gansu border army and has participated in several battles in the Jingtai Dynasty. It can be said that it has rich experience, strong combat power, and is extraordinary. The cavalry is comparable.

In the heroic cavalry camp in front of them, not only the soldiers were wearing heavy armor, but even the war horses had their vulnerable parts wrapped in iron armor.

After a long-distance attack, the Xiaoqi battalion would definitely not be able to outrun the Mongolian army, but now they are meeting on a narrow road, and the Mongolian army will suffer a big loss.

Gu Zhong waved his hand, and the drums sounded loudly.

Before, Gu Zhong only used 30% of the war drums, but now at the critical moment, he ordered all the drummers to beat hard.

The prestige and momentum of the Ming army suddenly surged.

In fighting, the most important thing is that the momentum cannot be weak and the morale cannot be dispersed.

When the anger is gone, there will be an avalanche. Ten people running will lead to hundreds of people running. A hundred people running will lead to a thousand people running.

Once there are thousands of people running away, the whole thing will collapse, and everyone can only follow and run away.

The troops in Borai showed strong military literacy. They encouraged each other in a hurry and prepared to assemble their formations to fight to the death with the Ming cavalry.

It's a pity that after the Mongolian army gathered a little, the Ming army on Tangwang Mountain and Sanhuang Mountain decisively opened fire, and the Mongolian army dispersed the formation.

The Ming army did not fire artillery before because the Mongolian army and the Ming army were entangled and fighting in close combat to avoid accidentally injuring their own people.

Now that the infantry has withdrawn, the cavalry on both sides are clearly separated and have not yet begun to charge each other. It is a good time to fire.

After the round of shelling ended, the elite 5,000-horse battalion began to charge towards the Mongolian army.

In the ensuing battle, it would be too much to say that they were cutting melons and slicing vegetables, but the Xiaoqi battalion also had an advantage that could be seen with the naked eye.

After one charge, the lightly armored Mongolian army was almost killed.

The remaining thousands of heavily armored Mongolian troops fought in a melee with the Xiaoqi battalion.

Under normal circumstances, there should be a dozen. But the Mongolian army was really tired after fighting for half a day.

This situation made Polo extremely sad and angry, and he repeatedly ordered to the deputy general beside him: "The whole army is coming, the whole army is coming, everyone rush forward and fight to the death with the Ming army."
