Han ride

Chapter 145 Fighting Lin Danhan ([-])

"Look, that's the Ming army, and it looks very mighty!" In the early morning of the next day, on the grassland, banners were unfurled, drums were beating, and the two teams of troops were slowly approaching. , Lin Danhan's 10,000+ troops were all dispatched at once, and there was a blackness in front of them, and it was impossible to see the end in the distance.But Lin Danhan and Quetu Khan were standing on the horses, pointing to the country, not paying attention to the Ming army at all.

But on the opposite side of them was a piece of crimson, that was the 10,000 cavalry phalanx of the Ming army, Cao Huachun, Hou Shilu, Hou Gongji and other Xuanfu generals, deputy generals and dozens of other generals also gathered under the banner , Looking at the Mongolian cavalry in the distance, his face tightened.No matter what, there are [-]+ cavalry on the opposite side. If you kill them, it will be enough to kill your hands.Looking from a distance, you can't see the end at all.At this time, there was a faint regret in everyone's heart, and they should not agree to Li Xin.But at this moment, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent.Now that the two armies have confronted each other, it is a situation where you die and I die.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to Mobei, and then Chengzu Zhu Di also swept across the grasslands, and after that, Ming Yingzong led an army of 10,000+, but in the end he wiped out the entire army.Since then, there have been no large-scale battles in Mobei, but today is different. The war finally broke out, and hundreds of thousands of troops fought again in Mobei. I don’t know how many lives will be lost after today. will drop here.Perhaps in the future, only a few strokes will appear in the history books.

"Didn't you say that there are Li Xin's men? Why didn't you see his men?" Among the crowd, Hou Gong asked in surprise.He didn't see Li Xin's banner here at all.

"Maybe there are too many people on the other side. Li Xin is just a small Perak Villa. How can Lin Danhan take it seriously?" Hou Shilu also changed his face, but shook his head quickly and said.On the side, Cao Huachun, who had some doubts at first, also nodded. A small Perak Mountain Villa with tens of thousands of horses in the opponent's 10,000+ army is nothing at all.What's more, Li Xin is a Han, how could he be valued by the other party.

"Ci Khan, the Ming army is all elite troops! Why don't you see any troops from Perak Villa?" Under the banner, Lin Dan Khan also asked Quetu Khan beside him, because he didn't find any troops from the Ming army. Some of the stragglers looked like they were all elites. Above the cavalry, they were all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, big felt hats, red tasseled guns in their hands, and some Frang machine guns, tiger guns, carrying guns, etc. It didn't show that the army in front of him was the main force of the Ming army, an elite division, and there were no signs of stragglers, which surprised him.

"Pili Mountain Villa is nothing more than some horse bandits. They are nothing among the tens of thousands of Ming troops. Maybe they are placed in the rear." Quetu Khan thought for a while and comforted: "After all, this time is For those who want our army to fight fiercely, if the horse bandits take the lead in fighting fiercely with our army and flee in embarrassment after being beaten by our army, it will definitely affect morale. However, horse bandits are horse bandits, and after a fierce battle, they will definitely run away."

"Well! Let's start!" Lin Danhan finally gave the order to attack. Even if he found any unfavorable situation at this moment, he had no choice but to attack the Ming army.

With the waving of the golden wolf's big banner, the sound of killing was heard instantly, and countless Mongolian cavalry roared out, killing the Ming army, like a landslide, like a crack in the ground.Countless cavalry galloped out, just like a flood breaking through a gap and rushing for thousands of miles.

Hou Shilu and the others opened their eyes wide open, no matter what ideas they have at this time, it is useless, only gun to gun, cannon to cannon is the truth.

"Fire the cannon." Hou Gongji glanced at his father, saw the other party nodded, and hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to issue an order, and then heard a loud bang, and the Flang cannon in front of him made a loud bang and a huge flame Flying out of the muzzle, shells the size of bowls flew out and exploded in the air. Small iron balls exploded fiercely and flew out in all directions. With a roar, the Mongolian soldiers who were dozens of paces away instantly tore these iron beads into pieces. Although they were not hit critically, but in this era, when winter is approaching, the undead will also become disabled.This is the cluster bomb exploded from the Ming army's Flang machine gun. It can also be called a blooming bomb. Although the power of this shell is small, its attack range is huge. Once fired, dozens of steps around it are within its attack range.

The simple thing is that there are too many soldiers and horses under Lin Danhan's command, and the number of Flang cannons carried by the Ming army this time is not much. After all, the Flang cannons are not as heavy as the red cannons, but they are not of ordinary weight. .And these soldiers of Lin Danhan didn't pay attention to these shells at all, their eyes were still red, and they howled, and rushed towards the Ming army.

Of course, Hou Shilu didn't naively think that Lin Dan Khan's soldiers could be scared off by his first shelling, so he nodded to Hou Gongji, and Hou Gongji hurriedly ordered someone to shake the banner of the Chinese army again.

"Bang bang." There was a loud noise, and this time the movement was even louder. This time, it was a huge stone bullet, which was fired by several general cannons accompanying the army. The surface of these stone bullets was extremely worn. The smooth, huge stone bullet hits the grassland. Under the action of inertia, the huge stone bullet continues to roll forward. The huge force is like a bulldozer, invincible. People or horses blocking in front are hit by the stone bullet. Drenched with blood, a huge trail of blood appeared in front of the army.

"It would be great if there were more generals like this." Cao Huachun said in admiration, looking at the huge bloody roads in front of the courtyard.

"Elder-in-law was joking. Although this kind of general cannon is not as heavy as the red cannon, it is not only difficult to forge, but also difficult to transport." Hou Shilu shook his head.In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not forge many cannons of this kind. The so-called cannons cost ten thousand taels of gold. The silver taels needed to forge these cannons is an astronomical figure. In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial army had not updated their weapons for a long time. up.And these cannons can only be equipped by a few large cities such as Jiubian.

"Fire the cannon. Fire the cannon." Following the order from the Chinese army, the general cannons and the Furang machine guns in front of the Ming army roared one after another, and the shells rushed out of the muzzles. A wall of fire was formed in front of him, and Lin Danhan's soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.

"Khan, the artillery of the Ming army is very powerful!" Yelich said nervously.

Lin Danhan's expression was gloomy. It's not that he didn't know that the cannons of the Ming army were very powerful. Unfortunately, Lin Danhan didn't have a gunner. scale forging.Lin Dan Khan only believed in his cavalry.The countless cavalry are enough to make any force dare not underestimate him.

"Rush over, kill over, although the cannon is powerful, it will stop for a while after each shell is fired." Lin Danhan gritted his teeth and said: "At that time, our cavalry will be enough to close the distance with the Ming army. At that time, they should have a taste of the power of our bows and arrows." The reason why Lin Danhan did not set up an artillery team was for this reason. In this era, the artillery shells used were filled with gunpowder first, and then the shells were fired. Complicated, every time a shell is fired, the barrel must be cooled, and then the gunpowder at the bottom of the barrel must be cleared, and then the steps of loading the gunpowder, inserting the shell, etc., will take enough time for the cavalry to rush into the range of the bow and arrow. .

Sure enough, with only two cannons, the Mongolian cavalry shot out of the range of the bow and arrow, and the soldiers of the Ming army could even see the ferocious faces of the Mongolian soldiers.Some Mongolian soldiers with quick hands and feet have already set their bows and arrows, and the gunners placed in front of the Ming army have already suffered casualties.

"Retreat." Hou Shilu, who was directing the battle, frowned and waved his hand backwards. He saw the Chinese army's big flag waving backwards, and the gunners quickly retreated.

"Shield array." Hou Gongji waited for the gunners to leave, and hurriedly shouted.In an instant, those holding shields strode forward, and the giant shields in their hands smashed fiercely on the ground, and in an instant, a huge shield array appeared in front of the Ming army.Protect the front of the Ming army.

"Pfft."

As soon as the shield formation here was formed, a pile of black shadows appeared in the sky, and a dark cloud smashed in front of the Ming army's formation in an instant. There were bursts of sounds of gold and iron clashing, but it was the bows and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry hitting the shield formation. Only occasionally could I hear a burst of screams, but some unlucky soldiers were shot by bows and arrows, lying on the ground crying, but at this time, these robes had no time to care about them, so they could only lie there and scream There were bursts of painful groans.

"Raise the gun." Hou Shilu looked at the positions of the two armies and waved his hands behind him.I saw a gun raised up, and soon there was a burst of crackling sound on the ground, and flames rushed out from the muzzle of the gun and shot into the bodies of the Mongolian soldiers who were charging at high speed, causing countless casualties again in an instant.

You must know that at this time, the troops of the Ming army were already equipped with lances, and after bursts of thunder and crackling, the corpses of Mongolian soldiers were piled up in front of the Ming army's position, and only some war horses were still cruising there.

"Bow and arrow."

Hou Shilu's face was stern, and he didn't feel any pity for the tragic situation of the Mongolian soldiers. He issued a series of orders, and in an instant he saw a black cloud flying from the Ming army's position and falling on the Mongolian army. These Mongolian soldiers without any protection The soldiers were hit hard again and fell off their horses one after another.

"Khan, the defense of the Ming army is too strong. We have already killed and injured more than 1000 people in our first charge. Why don't we take a break now and attack again." Yelich's face was full of anger.

"Khan, at this time, we should go all out. Whether it is artillery, muskets, or even archers, the Ming army needs time to attack again. As long as our cavalry rushes into the Ming army's formation, we will be victorious." It's time." Hearing this, Khan Tutu quickly persuaded him.
