The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 397 Fierce Offensive!

Following Dayan Khan's order.

The cavalry torrent began to gallop.

The last time a large cavalry corps of this size launched a charge was when the left-wing army attacked the right-wing for the second time.

Unfortunately, that time, the right wing obtained the Ming army's firearms and artillery, so the two sides ended in a draw, and Dayan Khan Batu Mongke had to order a withdrawal.

After that, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke adopted the strategy of his third son, Barsborot. On the one hand, Barsborot went to the Mengguolejin tribe to persuade Huoshai to surrender again. On the other hand, Dayan Khan Batu Mongke personally went to Dongsheng City in Hetao to negotiate an alliance with the Ming army and purchased at least a hundred cannons from the Ming army!

But things on the front battlefield must be resolved on the front battlefield.

No matter how complicated or sophisticated the scheme is, it is impossible to make the right-wing rebels wait for their deaths.

In the end, it still has to be implemented in real fighting.

No matter how much planning and preparation there is, its purpose is nothing more than to make the direction of the final decisive battle slightly favor one's side.

For example, now, because of the arrival of Ming Zhongshan Hou, the Ming army is determined to achieve its goal in one battle, and will directly join forces with the right wing to fight against the left wing army.

Dayan Khan Batu Mongke also wanted to achieve his goal in one battle. This time he brought an army of 120,000, as well as a hundred tiger-crouching cannons that he had previously purchased from the Ming army, so there was no reason for him to be defeated!
At this time, on the top of the mountain, Tang Hao was wearing iron armor and holding a sword in his hand.

A powerful army is full of enthusiasm before the war, while a terrible army is extremely calm before the war, just like the army behind Tang Hao.

When the silhouettes of the left-wing cavalry army in front became clearer and clearer, Marquis Zhongshan's sword began to fall.

With a wave of the sword towards the north, the Yongxie Buwan cavalry on the far left directly broke away from the main army and began to accelerate to make a detour to the north.

With a wave of the sword towards the south, the Ordos cavalry on the far right also broke away from the main army and accelerated to make a detour to the south.

Every time the sword fell, a group of ten thousand cavalrymen broke away from the main army and began to move in their main attack direction.

Yibula and Mandulai were both very smart. They saw the current situation clearly and knew that only by fully cooperating with the Ming army could they win this life-and-death battle.

The original Mengguolejin tribe, now the Tumed tribe, is temporarily commanded by Huoshai's son Wunuguchi.

For the Tumed tribe, they had no choice. Their chief Huoshai was killed in battle, and they were also attacked by the Yongshebu tribe and the Ordos tribe. Therefore, the Tumed tribe had no choice but to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and become a tribe directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty's Zhongshan Marquis.

No one dared to disobey the orders of their leader!
At the beginning, when Zhongshan Hou was still a military novice, his concept of cavalry warfare was still stuck on the war scenes in movies and TV dramas, where the cavalry of both sides spread out, and then the camera cuts to a long shot and begins to clash.

After experiencing many battles and fights, Tang Hao finally realized that doing so was just for the sake of a good-looking war scene. In fact, any cavalry general with a normal mind would not command the cavalry in this way.

Moreover, the battlefield area is so small that if everyone rushes forward in a swarm, it is easy to have a funny scene where the front is blocked and people are fighting, while there is a large group of people behind who cannot move forward and can only watch the show from behind.

In addition, the 30,000 households on the right wing are all native Mongolians. The way of fighting they are best at is naturally the cavalry charge and arrow shooting. Only by letting them run can they exert their maximum combat power!
“Drum roll!”

At Tang Hao's command, the rumbling sound of war drums suddenly sounded, the flags changed, and the armies of all parties moved accordingly. An Guo, Tang Mu, Ma Yong, Deng Boyan, Chang Kuohai... one general after another led their armies, and with the waving of the flags, they took the initiative to meet the densely packed left-wing Mongolian cavalry!
The weather was just right, and it had almost no effect on firearms. This time, the goddess of victory threw a wink at Tang Hao.

At the beginning of a war, firearms naturally come first!
When the left wing cavalry entered the firing range, all kinds of firearms and artillery behind the army suddenly burst into thunderous roars!
Boom boom boom!
One after another, stone and lead bullets, which were very characteristic of this era, whizzed across the sky, like meteors and fire rain falling from the sky, and fell into the surging tide of cavalry.

Dayan Khan Batu Mengke was not to be outdone. The trebuchets built by the 30,000 households on the left wing were also not to be outdone. The huge stones with ignited fuses whistled down and wantonly harvested lives!
Because the cavalry on the right wing was too fast and the catapults could not hit them at all, the auxiliary troops on the left wing set their attack target on the military formations of the Ming soldiers, which was simply a perfect attack target.

"Raise your shield!"

"Shield soldiers, step forward to block it!"

An Guo roared angrily, and looking at the huge rocks as big as millstones in the air, he took a deep breath.

This time, the damn left-wing army actually built catapults, which the Ming army had never expected.

The next moment, the millstone stone fell down with a roar. Even though the shield soldiers had already raised their shields, the terrifying force carried by the millstone stone was still not something that human power could withstand. A large number of shield soldiers were smashed into meat paste along with their shields, and could only let out a shrill wail before dying!
The indiscriminate firing of Ming army's firearms and artillery also caused huge casualties to the left wing cavalry. In particular, every volley of the Tiger Crouching Cannon would take the lives of hundreds or even thousands of cavalrymen, and these cavalrymen, after falling off their horses, posed a hindrance to the army behind them.

Either they would be trampled into meat paste, or the army behind them would come to a standstill!

But the latter is something that is simply impossible to happen!

Because the cavalry charged too fast and due to the huge inertia, it was impossible to rein in the horses and stop in time!
Naturally, these could not stop the surging cavalry on the left wing at all. They were like a tide, one after another. Even if there were casualties, they were quickly replenished. There was no wavering, and they swept in like a tide!
Even the numerous horse-traps dug in advance by the Ming army could not stop the cavalry's surge of cavalry.

Getting closer!
Getting closer!
The Ming army soldiers at the front could even clearly see the ferocious faces of the charging Tartars, and the... rain of arrows falling from the sky like locusts!
shhhhhh!
An endless rain of arrows fell into the formation of the Xianzhen Camp, and crashed into the shields that had been arranged horizontally for a long time. A few of them penetrated through the gaps and went straight in, causing bursts of blood and screams, and then quickly fell silent.

The Xianzhen Camp, as its name suggests, will naturally not retreat even a single step.

In addition to the original six battalions, the Beijing Army's combat troops are now divided into twelve battalions, but the most elite are undoubtedly the six battalions set up personally by Zhongshan Marquis Tang Hao: the Vanguard Battalion, the General-Slaying Battalion, the Flag-Grabbing Battalion, the Trap Camp, the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and the Beheading Camp.

"Fire guns, fire!"

An Guo, the leader of the Xianzhen Camp, shouted in a hoarse voice.

Under the command of the flags, the rows of muskets behind the barricades emitted endless flames!
The current Xianzhen Camp is naturally not comparable to those scattered soldiers and guerrillas at the beginning of the camp's establishment.

Multi-stage shooting has long been ingrained in my bones, and I have mastered it to the point where I cannot get any more skilled!
After years of military service, the six battalions have been transformed.

Under the commander-in-chief An Guo, every lieutenant general and every captain knew what they should do and where they should be after the war began.

The most important thing is that they are not afraid of death. Not everyone is ready to die, but they know one thing: sometimes on the battlefield, they really need to sacrifice themselves voluntarily for the sake of the overall situation!
What's the big picture?

The country and people of the Ming Dynasty are the overall situation!
