Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 842: All the elite Mongolian troops are engaged in the great battle. The winner is about to be determined.

When the King of Wei heard this, he was even more excited. This time he really did not come in vain. I will not talk about the military merits, but the actual combat experience gained by personally attending the battle formation will be useful for life.

On the cavalry battlefield in the other direction, Maoli Hai personally led the elite into the battle, and 40,000 to 50,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 Tiance Guards fought together.

If heavy armor kills light armor, the Ming army will have the advantage; if 50,000 vs. 20,000, the Mongolian army will have the advantage.

Moreover, the battlefield was extremely crowded and neither side could charge forward, so it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Yingzhou Guards' 10,000 cavalry had to face Agabarji's more than 8,000 heavy-armored elites and more than 4,000 light-armored cavalry, and the fight was extremely difficult.

In other words, the cavalry battlefield is evenly matched, and without the addition of fresh troops, it will be difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time.

Another problem for the Mongolian army was that the Chinese army, where the Ming army stored grain, grass and baggage, was also surrounded by chariots. The Ming army could hide inside the chariots and fire various bows, crossbows and firearms from behind the chariots.

There are also three infantry square formations on the south side of the Chinese army, which are also surrounded by various sharp weapons such as crossbows, artillery, and 'swarms of bees'.

It would be okay if the Mongolian army did not enter the range of these infantry, or if they entered the range of the infantry in a melee with the Ming army's cavalry, there would be no problem.

Once the Mongolian army enters the infantry range alone, it will be sorry.

Since the task assigned by the Great Khan and the Grand Master is to contain, then how about containing it to the end and taking the initiative to attack? Absolutely not!

Therefore, there are always some soldiers who are passive and slack, and there are always some soldiers who have a high-minded attitude that has nothing to do with themselves.

After the more than 20,000 cavalrymen carried the last round of rockets and artillery from the Ming army, Agabarji would lead the 5,000 heavy cavalrymen for the final assault.

Not only the Ming army will have pig teammates, but the Mongolian cavalry will also have pig teammates.

There was nothing that could be done about this. Agabarji merged the tribes of Totuobuhua and Ala, but did not have enough time to digest them.

The 20,000 Mongolian cavalry responsible for containing Dongsheng City's reinforcements followed Xu Yongning's 30,000 cavalry, wandering over.

Therefore, this round of salvo fire by the Ming army had the best effect, killing thousands of people.

In many battles, the battle situation was ruined by pig teammates.

Three miles south of the three Ming infantry phalanxes on the south side, Xu Yongning led the 10,000 Xiaoqi Battalion and 20,000 Shenji Battalion, which had slowly moved over.

This attack was very targeted, directed at the north and south sides of Baoding's central guard infantry phalanx, with more than 12,000 cavalry on each side fighting to the death.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the Mongolian army is not a fool, and they all know how to choose.

He Yi ordered that when the Mongolian army was five hundred steps away, the artillery fired a salvo, and when the Mongolian army was three hundred steps away, they fired "Hundred Tigers Rush" to increase the lethality.

Therefore, the Mongolian cavalry is always distracted and must always pay attention to the piecemeal attacks of the infantry, otherwise they will be killed accidentally.

In fact, there are quite a few people who are looking forward to Agabarji's quick defeat.

Less than two-quarters of an hour later, Agabaji saw that the deputy general had reorganized his defeated troops, so he ordered another charge.

The Mongolian army no longer cares. If they charge, they will die. If they don't, they will die. If you keep your head down and rush forward, you will be more likely to survive.

Thus, with the help of a god, he accomplished all his feats and captured the King of Wei alive.

On both sides of the north and south, thousands of cavalry hit the infantry phalanx of Baoding Central Guard.

However, the Ming army won the tactics and the Mongolian army won the strategy.

The more than 20,000 Mongolian army cannon fodder was pitiful. Under the threat of the butcher's knife of 5,000 heavy cavalry, they bravely launched a charge.

The Maoli boy was busy supervising the battle and failed to notice the changes on the battlefield in time.

There are 5,000 Baoding central guard soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers in the square formation.

He Yi ordered all Baoding Central Guard soldiers to concentrate on the north and south sides for defense, while the east and west sides were handed over to auxiliary troops.

The Baoding Guards belong to the reserve army of the Yingzhou Guards. They are extremely well-equipped and have very strict training.

Five thousand Baoding guards were wearing heavy armor and holding various weapons, relying on chariots to resist on the front line. The two sides fought in close combat for half an hour, and the Baoding central defender blocked the Mongolian offensive.

Agabarji, who was closely observing the battlefield situation from a distance, decisively ordered the horn to be blown, and the exhausted Mongolian army withdrew from the battlefield to rest.

Seeing the move, He Yi ordered the Baoding left guard and Baoding right guard to leave the formation, and their attached auxiliary soldiers pushed the "Hundred Tigers Rush" rocket car to move together and move closer to the Baoding central defender's square formation.

Agabarji drew his sword and personally led his five thousand elite troops to charge towards the weakest north side of Baoding's central defender phalanx.

Seeing this, He Yi sped up the Baoding right-back and entered the formation from the south side of the Baoding central-back formation.

Agabarji's elite pro-army troops were unstoppable. In less than a quarter of an hour, they broke through the defense line composed of chariots from the north.

The Baoding central defenders used pikemen to resist the enemy, while the soldiers of the Baoding right defenders also arrived in time, filling the northern defense line continuously.

The Mongolian army attacked desperately, while the Ming army resisted desperately.

Although the Ming army was extremely brave, they were still forced to retreat by the Mongolian army.

Agabarji gritted his teeth and ordered his lieutenant to detach a thousand cavalry and drive the Mongolian cavalry that had just withdrawn from the battlefield to the south side of the Baoding Central Guards infantry phalanx.

This move was vicious enough, and the square formation on the south side became the weak point of the Ming army. He Yi had no choice but to send troops from the north side to plug the gap.

Seeing that they were only one step away from capturing King Wei alive, the Mongolian army gained momentum and charged forward without fear of death.

The Baoding left-back desperately attacked the back of the elite Agabarji lineage, trying to relieve the Baoding central defender.

The entire battlefield was in chaos.

This is the time to compete in fighting will.

As the saying goes, when encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Hao Yi, who stood silently aside and watched He Yi command the army, finally became anxious.

He Yi could do anything else as he pleased, but now that King Wei was really in danger of being captured, Hao Yi couldn't hold himself back at all.

He Yi asked King Wei: "What do you think, Your Highness? Are you afraid?"

King Wei looked calm and smiled slightly: "If our army is defeated, I will only die for the country. Those who survive will go back and tell their father, saying that King Wei is not a coward."

When Hao Yi heard this, his face was stern, but he secretly admired in his heart: My young master's vision in choosing women is really excellent, and the sons born to the ladies are all of excellent character and high qualifications.

The left guard of Baoding fired "Hundred Tigers Rush" rockets at Agabarji's pro-army. Although the Mongolian army suffered many casualties, they remained indifferent, so they spotted King Wei's banner and charged in with all their might.

In desperation, the soldiers of the Baoding Left Guard wanted to push the artillery over, but were refused by the capital commander Zhang Ying.

Because the range of the artillery is not very stable. The battlefield was too chaotic. If the cannon was not fired properly and did not hit the enemy, but it accidentally hit the King of Wei, that would be a big deal.

After the war, let's all wait for the execution of the Nine Tribes.

Zhang Ying didn't care about that anymore and ordered the spearmen to clear the way forward. The entire Baoding left guard formed a flying geese formation and just rushed in as hard as they could.

At this point, the Ming army's situation became critical.

King Wei frowned and stared at the battlefield quietly.

After a while, King Wei sighed and was about to speak.

He Yi pointed eastward: "King Wei, please look east."

King Wei raised his eyes and saw that five miles later, smoke and dust were rising, and an unknown army of cavalry rushed to the battlefield.
