If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 209 The Whole Army Charges
Although the coalition army composed of Oaras and Tatars did not even have 5 people, they had more than [-] horses.

Just like a Ming army soldier needs several civilians to support his combat power, the Mongolian cavalry usually consists of one person and three horses, or even four or five horses.

One of the unique skills that the Mongolian cavalry relied on to conquer Eurasia during the Genghis Khan era was the multi-horse configuration. One horse could carry equipment, one horse could be used for riding, and one horse could be used for rotation. This was far more maneuverable than ordinary cavalry. Stronger sex.

Moreover, the Mongols at that time were thoroughly a people on horseback. They could eat, sleep, and even solve personal hygiene problems immediately on horses.

Because of this, even if they only have tens of thousands of cavalry, they have at least 10,000+ or ​​even more than 20 horses.

This is hard to imagine for the Central Plains Dynasty. After all, the Central Plains Dynasty has lacked excellent horse farms since the Tang Dynasty, and large-scale cavalry troops are no longer something the Central Plains Dynasty can afford.

The Ming Dynasty was an exception, and this was because after the Yuan Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, a large number of horse farms were built across the country. After Zhu Yuanzhang raised his troops, he benefited from this and cultivated a powerful cavalry in the southern region.

But even so, the number of cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalion, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp, is approximately equal to that of the Walas, but the number and quality of the horses are significantly different.

After all, although the Ming Dynasty at this time regained the Youyun Sixteen Provinces area that had been lost since the Tang Dynasty and regained excellent horse farms, the Ming Dynasty's horse administration was actually not very good, so that after the Tumubao Incident After the Ming Dynasty lost about [-]% of the country's cavalry, it was difficult to reorganize the cavalry troops.

If it were in the past, Zhu Di would definitely have been reluctant to let Zhu Zhanjuan go free and use the cannon to blast the 10,000+ horses in front of him. You must know that Zhu Zhanjuan used only shotguns for the Fran machine cannon, and he could shoot them with one shot. In the past, at least a dozen horses could be killed and injured, and at least dozens of surrounding horses would be thrown into panic due to the shelling. The losses were staggering.

It can be said that Zhu Zhanqi let the 24 French cannons fire for less than a quarter of an hour, and almost scattered the Mongolian front troops.

Although the losses of the Mongols were not too great, Zhu Zhanchun could clearly see that their Chinese army had begun to become chaotic.

"Tell your Majesty, the Wara people are in chaos, and the Qingyu Guards are asking for orders to charge!" Naturally, Zhu Zhanquan would not give up such a good opportunity, and quickly ordered the messengers beside him to ask Zhu Di for a fight.

However, before the messengers could pass on Zhu Zhanyu's invitation to fight, the Chinese army had already sent the general order for the whole army to attack, and Zhu Di himself had already raised his sword and mounted his horse, ready to charge.

Zhu Zhanjuan laughed when he saw this, took a horse stick and rushed out. The Qingyu Guard's cavalry followed closely behind him. As for the infantry, they formed a shooting formation and started firing in conjunction with the Tiger Crouching Cannon. The curtain moves forward.

Although this is a very low-end version of the barrage Xu Jin, it is basically equivalent to pushing the mortar forward a few steps and firing a shot, and then the infantry stops and fires. It is completely different from the serious barrage Xu Jin. , but for the Mongolian cavalry in front of them, it was the most thorough dimensionality reduction blow.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is indeed not powerful enough, but it is still very simple to use it to bombard the Wala people's cavalry at close range and disrupt their charging formation.

The infantry advancing with the Tiger Crouching Artillery lined up in three horizontal lines and then launched three rounds of attacks, which formed a continuous barrage of firepower, directly beating the Mongols to the north.Whether it is humans or horses, it is difficult to effectively resist in the face of firearms that span the ages.

After all, these Mongolian cavalry are no longer the Mongolian cavalry from the era when Genghis Khan conquered Eurasia. They have not seen the power of firearms, and the horses under their crotches have not been trained specifically for the fire and loud noises that may appear on the battlefield. When the artillery fires, It was enough to make these war horses panic, and even knock the cavalry off their backs.

Not to mention the flintlock musketeers who were lined up to be shot. Regardless of whether they were men or horses, those who were hit would either die or be wounded.

It can be said that just one part of the Qingyu Guards caused huge casualties to the Wala Cavalry.

Following the Qingyu Guards were four similarly equipped guards!Under this round of firepower output, the Mongols began to collapse.

These prairie men who grew up eating mutton and drinking mare's milk can indeed be brave and fearless of death if they are allowed to wield knives and kill people. They are not afraid of charging against the rain of arrows, but now they face the Ming army with almost no fear. Terrified by the death spread by the halting artillery and musketry, they retreated.

The collapse of the Mongols was not instantaneous, or in other words, after the entire horse herd fell into chaos, it was difficult for the Mongols to flee, because the Chinese army's cavalry and horses blocked the retreat route of the former army, while the Chinese army Because they were entangled with the defeated army of the former army, and the horses were almost in a frenzy, it was very difficult for them to retreat.

Zhu Di naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. The Ming army's central army had completely covered it up. The Fifth Army Camp and the Shenji Camp attacked from the left and right. Zhu Zhanjun, after relieving Zhu Zhanji, handed over the troops. After giving command to Liu Sheng, he led a thousand Qingyu Guards' cavalry directly towards the Oara people's central army.

Although he has never used magic power to cultivate, with Zhu Zhanchun's physical fitness, it is easy to stage a killing of generals and capture the flag among thousands of troops.

The horse spear in his hand stabbed out from time to time, knocking off the Mongolian and Yuan cavalrymen in front of him. Zhu Zhanyu couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and ambition in his heart.

The war horse under his crotch seemed to have felt Zhu Zhanchun's mood, and couldn't help but run faster.

Behind Zhu Zhanchun, a thousand Qingyu Guards cavalry followed him closely, using Zhu Zhanchun as the spearhead to form a triangular formation, cutting through the Mongolian army as smoothly as a hot knife cutting into butter. The formation of people was cut open, and it was like entering a deserted land.

It was not that no one among the Mongols wanted to stop Zhu Zhanyu. Several brave Mongolians rushed toward Zhu Zhanyu with weapons in hand. A few of them with good archery skills even drew their bows and arrows at him, trying to Shoot him with cold arrows.

However, for Zhu Zhanchun, these were just the breeze blowing on his face. He waved his long spear in his hand and blocked all the cold arrows. Then it was just a matter of two horses crossing each other and passing side by side. Zhu Zhanchun's long spear Two Mongolian generals had already pierced their pants, and he directly pierced them with their long trousers, picking them up like piercing a candied haws.

Although the war horse under Zhu Zhanquan's crotch was a good horse, it could not withstand such a weight. The horse's hooves could not help trembling immediately. The two corpses that were still alive flew out and hit several other Mongolians who rushed over, knocking them down together with their horses.
