People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 441: Devastating fighting power!!
Zhang Yu was quite calm about killing a thousand cavalrymen in one breath, because he felt that this was the style he should have.

If we fail to eat up all the thousand people or suffer heavy casualties while eating up these thousand people, it will be a real failure.

Zhang Yu's style is more cautious, while Zhu Neng's style is relatively radical.

Fighting against Zhu Neng were another thousand men from the Nahaji tribe.

The purpose of these one thousand people is to confront the Ming army head-on.

Because the leader of the Haji tribe felt that they would be confronted head-on by a large number of infantrymen.

Cavalry fighting infantry is just like playing.

But what they didn't expect this time was that the vanguard troops would be beaten badly by the weak troops who were fighting head-on before they even encountered the main force of the Ming army.

Zhu Neng's mission this time was to annihilate these thousand people before Zhu Di led the main force.

Zhu Neng felt no pressure at all about this request.

So it was discovered that there was no layout at all on the road.

He went straight in the direction the other party was coming from.

At this time, Huhebaatar didn't know that his comrades had died last night. Instead, he was looking forward to meeting them on the battlefield.

Of course, he can actually reunite with his comrades on the battlefield, but the location may have to be changed to hell.

It must be acknowledged that Huhebaatar, like Baha, is a very brave warrior.

Because in the grassland tribes, the most important thing to become a thousand-man leader, besides connections, is the ability to fight. If you can't fight, you will be very passive.

The grassland tribes rarely use any strategy when fighting.

It's nothing more than encirclement and defeat, sneak attack using the mobility of cavalry, and so on.

Since these tactics are all the same old things, these centurions have no other special features except that they are all brave and good at fighting.

But this time they met another Zhu Neng who was more brave and skilled in fighting.

Zhu Neng was a brave general who followed Zhu Di a long time ago because he inherited his father's position. He started fighting against the nomadic tribes in the north very early, and even followed Zhu Di to the north to subdue Nahachu.

In other words, Zhu Neng has rich experience with the northern nomadic peoples.

Now that we have such good conditions, of course we can act recklessly.

Because the troops Zhu Neng leads now are much more advanced than before.

The musket troops we brought before were just for scare people and could not be used as real weapons at all.

The Ming army's musket units, which had fought many battles with the northern tribes, were also well known to the grassland tribes.

The grassland tribes in the north believed that although the muskets in the hands of the Ming army could kill people from a long distance, after firing a shot, the fire sticks were of no difference because they were very troublesome to reload.

Therefore, the grassland tribes summed up a good way to deal with the Ming army.

That is to use a group of old and weak soldiers to lead the charge and attract the Ming army's musket troops to open fire.

Although there will certainly be some losses, the grassland troops don't need to take it seriously at all.

On the contrary, it would give them the opportunity to charge and annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop.

But this time they are going to run into a tough opponent.

Because the muskets in the hands of the Ming army this time were not useless things like fire sticks.

But it is a genuine and very practical musket.

The filling speed is more than ten times faster than before, and the power is much stronger.

Even many Ming army soldiers could skillfully load gunpowder on galloping horses. This gap was bound to make the Tartars, who were backward in information, suffer.

It was under such circumstances that the Tatar cavalry led by Zhu Neng and Huhebaatar came into conflict.

Different from Zhang Yu's ambush and trap, Zhu Neng led his army directly forward after receiving clear information from the reconnaissance troops.

A large number of Ming army soldiers were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins. Knowing there were Tartars ahead, they were so excited that Zhu Neng didn't need to say anything more as they were determined to kill them.

These Ming army soldiers had accumulated enough experience in the previous six days of fighting and knew that their current weapons and equipment could absolutely crush the enemy, so they did not want to leave any room for these Tartars.

Zhu Neng took the lead and rushed to the front.

Since he was such a brave general leading the troops into battle, the other Ming soldiers certainly had no fear at all and they just followed him and rushed forward.

After Zhu Neng saw the enemy's flag from afar, he drew his sword and shouted, "Soldiers, we can see the Tartars ahead. We have been preparing for this moment for half a year. Charge, charge and tear them to pieces! Charge!"

The soldiers were like chicken blood, and with the slightest encouragement, they all rushed forward bravely: "Kill!"

"Come on!"

"Go ahead and tear them apart!"

The Tatars on the opposite side were stunned when they heard the shouts and screams coming from the other side.

what happened?

When they fought with the Ming army before, the Ming army often took steady steps and liked to play tactics with them.

But why is this army so brave this time?

Also, didn't it say that the Ming army didn't have many cavalry? Why are there so many here?
We are going to fight against the Ming army's infantry in order to better coordinate with the sneak attacks of the right-wing troops and the cavalry that sneak attacks the food route.

How come this time we ran into their cavalry head-on?

Huhebaatar, who was familiar with the military system and configuration of the Ming army, understood it very well.

When the Ming army went out, they usually used a small number of cavalry as assault troops on the left and right wings, and the frontal troops were infantry.

The general fighting style is that the infantry in the front will fight with you, and then the cavalry on the left and right wings will encircle you.

They had already made preparations for this. Once they came into contact with the Ming army troops in front of them, they retreated, fighting as they retreated.

The advantage of this is that it can delay the Ming army's frontal troops. At the same time, because of the constant retreat and movement, it is difficult for the cavalry on both wings of the Ming army to encircle them.

Such a gradual delay would consume the Ming army's infantry to the greatest extent, while also giving their own right-wing troops the best time for a surprise attack.

After our side engaged in a battle with the enemy's left-wing cavalry, the cavalry on the front battlefield cooperated with our right wing to eat up the enemy's left wing.

This is a very clever way.

But what they never expected was that the Ming army would not play the same way with them this time. They faced the cavalry without even seeing the Ming army's infantry.

And judging from the look of it, it seems like it's here to eat me up in one breath.

"Captain, what should we do? Should we retreat?" asked the deputy general.

Huhebaatar's face was filled with worry. "The Ming army has already come close to us. If we withdraw now, won't that mean we will leave our most vulnerable rear to the enemy?
Furthermore, if we retreat before the battle begins, I'm afraid our people will lose their composure first, and then we'll be surrounded and annihilated."

This statement still shows that Huhebaatar has some knowledge.

Giving the order to retreat before the battle even started is another matter whether the retreat can be successful.

They retreated without any contact and their morale was instantly gone.

If we scatter at that time, we will be at the mercy of the enemy.

"What should I do?"

Huhebaatar finally gave the order, "Just like before, send 200 old and weak soldiers to delay the Ming army's pace."

The deputy general had no choice but to send the old and weak.

Generally speaking, two hundred cavalrymen are also a very strong force on the grassland, especially the charging cavalry.

The deputy general turned around and ordered the remaining cavalry: "When the Ming army finishes firing a round of muskets, charge immediately. Warriors, don't worry, their muskets are not..."

bang bang bang...

Ahhh...

"The deputy captain is gone!!" someone reminded.

The deputy captain looked back and saw that, sure enough, at the bottom of the hill, his two hundred men had been knocked down by a round of musket fire before they could even reach the enemy.

When the deputy captain saw this, he had no time to say anything. He immediately shouted, "Brothers, this is a good opportunity. Kill them. It takes a long time for them to fire the next round after they finish one round with their muskets."

"Kill!!"

The deputy captain was very brave and led 700 cavalrymen to charge down.

Just as they were about to confront the 2,000 cavalrymen led by Zhu Neng, suddenly, bang bang bang...

They started shooting right away.

The firing started when there was a difference of more than 300 meters between the two.

Although the target cannot be hit at this distance, it does not affect the waste of bullets at all.

The most important thing is that the Ming army consciously dispersed their distance.

At this distance, there will be no harm to our family members.

But the Tatars were in a terrible situation.

The situation was not as simple as they imagined. The Ming army slowly reloaded gunpowder after firing a round.

They fill it up very quickly.

After the shooting, he immediately took out a bag of gray bullets from his waist pocket and reloaded. What they didn't know was that it was a fixed paper shell bullet.

There is packed gunpowder inside.

After loading, you can pull the trigger immediately.

None of them have long fuses.

Flintlock gun!
"Oh my goodness, what's going on?"

"We've been tricked. They're reloading too fast. Let's run!"

"Turn around!"

"Run!"

Herod...

Ahhh...

"I fell down, please don't step on me!"

"Ahh... they are one of our own..."

"Ahhh... My leg is stuck in the saddle, help me..."

"Where's the deputy commander? The deputy commander..."

Where is the deputy captain?

The seven hundred people were suddenly in chaos.

But Zhu Neng was not polite at all.

When they see the enemy trying to escape, the soldiers will immediately open fire.

bang bang bang...

The Ming army began shooting on horseback.

The accuracy may not be correct.

But what we want is not accuracy.

It's fire coverage.

The enemy's target, including people and horses, is so large that more than 2,000 rounds can be fired at once, so there will always be many rounds that hit the enemy directly.

Strong logistical supplies mean not only sufficient food, but also ammunition.

The military factory in Beiping Prefecture has already started operations.

Some slaves who came from Japan were working overtime to load gunpowder.

The order issued by Zhu Di was that if the specified number of paper shell bullets was not in place, people would be killed.

The Japanese were so scared that they worked desperately to speed up the process.

There is now enough bullets in the entire Peking Prefecture.

It basically met the saturation attack launched by the Ming army.

This was the first time that the Tatars encountered the Ming army fighting a fierce battle.

None of the Ming army soldiers felt sorry for the bullets at this time.

Instead, I wanted to take this opportunity to fully master the previous filling training.

The real hail of bullets on the battlefield is a little different from what we do in normal training.

At that time, we really had to compete with speed.

This is not what is called fighting the enemy with all your might.

But your speed is average, so you won’t get any credit.

ah ah ah...

The Tatars were caught off guard by the saturation attack and had no time to dodge.

The Ming army soldiers really had no time to aim, they just shot as long as they missed their own people.

They knew that if they didn't shoot, they would never have the chance to shoot.

Zhu Neng even wanted to shout: "Let go of the Tartars on the ground first, don't shoot them again, chase them and shoot those who can still move, there is still time."

What did Huhebaatar and his men see at this time? There were more than 2,000 cavalry vanguards, and they seemed to have come to the grassland to pick up heads. How could it be so common?

Wasn't it agreed that after they finished firing a round from their muskets, it would be our turn to fire?

Why did our people rush forward and be knocked to the ground?

The most important thing is, why do your muskets have so many bullets? Can't you use them all up?

Soon all seven hundred Tatars were knocked off their horses.

Both people and horses were killed or injured.

Huhebaatar was already frightened by the situation before him.

I've never seen a war like this.

How can there be such firepower?
You, the Ming army, are committing a foul.

There is no such powerful firepower in the world.

Looking at the Ming army rushing up, Huhebaatar was already in despair.

"withdraw!"

"Quickly retreat!!"

This little battle was actually not exciting at all.

Not the slightest problem.

It’s really because there are not enough Tartars to fight against.

He falls down at any time.

None of them could last a round.

So we can’t blame the Ming army for being too strong, we can only say that these Tartars were too weak.

"Kill!!"

"kill!!"

Zhu Neng is still rushing forward bravely.

bang bang bang...

Gunfire continued.

The one hundred people led by Huhebaatar were reduced one by one.

After chasing for more than a mile, there were only seven or eight left in front.

Along the way, there were Tatar soldiers everywhere, either dead or half-dead.

Huhebaatar was finally frightened and shouted: "Spare our lives! Spare our lives! We surrender!"

But in the face of such a request, Zhu Neng seemed not to hear it and shouted: "Kill!!"

Then he rushed forward.

When he got in front of Huhebaatar, he didn't use a gun at all, but used his usual big knife to chopped off Huhebaatar's head in a flash.

After killing the people, Zhu Neng turned around and asked: "Did he shout surrender just now?"

The soldiers laughed: "Yes, he just shouted!"

Zhu Neng pouted, "Why didn't you shout earlier? My knife is very sharp."

Then Zhu Neng said: "Count the troops and go back to clean up the battlefield!!"

Call...

A cavalryman came quickly from behind and shouted in front of Zhu Neng: "General, our rear army has already dealt with all the Tatars. You don't need to turn back."

Upon hearing this, more than 2,000 cavalrymen were unhappy and immediately said, "Hey, this is not right. How can you steal the military merit? Those were all killed by our front army. Are you just taking advantage of it?"

Soon, several generals of the rear army also arrived.

He came directly to Zhu Neng and said, "General, you guys are fighting too fast. The 8,000 cavalrymen behind us have only some wounded soldiers left before they even reach the battlefield. We have no choice but to help you with a few more shots."

The soldiers in the front army were so angry that they almost vomited blood. "This doesn't count, this doesn't count. No matter whether you made up for it or not, it doesn't count as your contribution. We killed all these 1,000 Tartars, so the credit should go to us."

Seeing the soldiers fighting for a little credit, Zhu Neng was furious. "We are only a thousand people. What are we fighting for? There are tens of thousands of people waiting for us to harvest. Don't you understand? We have to be more ambitious and not let others look down on us, especially those on the left."

The soldiers then lowered their heads, feeling a little embarrassed...
