After Huang Yi's two false shots, the Haraqin and Jiannu coalition forces were frustrated.
When I left the camp for the third time, the formations were not in order. I saw in my confusion that the enemy troops who were supposed to retreat immediately did not retreat but advanced instead.
They all rushed over in a rage.
Treat them differently and sow discord. The cries of the soldiers in the base area have all been rehearsed by the governor.
"Kill Jiannu! Haraqin brothers, surrender without killing!"
"Stop working for the Jurchens, kill them all and join the Ming Dynasty and continue to receive market rewards!"
"Those who are stubborn will be killed without mercy! Kill, kill, kill!"
The roar was accompanied by the thundering sound of horse hooves, and the sound was so powerful that it was about to sweep across thousands of troops.
Shouting slogans to persuade people to surrender does not mean they will be merciful, but ruthless!
Before the confrontation, the cavalry in the base area had already fired three or four rounds of feather arrows, thrown out hundreds of spears, and thrown out one or two hundred throwing axes.
"The Sword Comes"
Huang Yi still did the same thing, shooting a member of the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu at close range with a flat-top crossbow.
The reaction of the people in the base area this time was completely opposite to the imagination of the Haraqin and Jiannu coalition forces.
Seeing so many cavalry crashing into them, they immediately panicked and became confused.
"Oh my God! Run away!" Some Tatars reacted very quickly and immediately turned their horses' heads and ran back.
Jiannu's psychological quality is better, after all, they have won one victory after another in these years.
They all shouted: "Fight, fight! Anyone who takes a step back will be shot to death!"
Soon enough, Huang Yi's men and horses arrived in a blink of an eye. After chopping melons and vegetables, they cut through the enemy's chaotic array.
In this kind of battle, you must not fall off the horse, because if you escape immediately after the fight, the fallen soldier will definitely be deliberately trampled to death by the enemy who has suffered a loss and has no way to vent his anger.
The experienced cavalry officers such as the Huxiaochuan brothers, Exunzhaqin, Dumbu, Yamoboli, Gubul and other cavalry officers gave demonstrations before the battle.
All cavalry were required to be tied around their waists and fixed to their saddles, so that they would not fall off their horses even if they were beaten to death.
Facts have proved that this method is effective, killing through the enemy array, at least a hundred soldiers were hit, but none of them fell.
Then what? Of course, they regrouped a little and then went back to fight.
The second time was even easier. Most of the Tatars ran to both sides and did not dare to block the front.
Zhaisalmu, Subbudi, Wandan Weizheng, Se Leng, etc. all shouted at the top of their lungs: "Don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic, form an formation, blow the trumpet quickly and form an formation!"
Hundreds more Tatars rushed out of the camp. It was some people who were building carts who heard the assembly call.
After a while, the originally messy situation changed after Huang Yi's men left.
There were more than 7,000 men and horses who could still line up for battle. Zhaisarmu, Subbudi and others were so angry that they almost collapsed and shouted together:
"Sons, brothers, warriors, follow me and charge, kill!"
"Revenge! We can't let those bastards run away!"
Zhaisalmu promised loudly: "Our troops are twice as strong as the enemy's. We are sure to win. I will announce a beheading and a first-level reward of thirty taels of silver for a future!"
"Kill the Han dog and get the reward, brothers, follow me and charge!"
"Lord Taiji, it's bad, those Chinese dogs didn't come back again, they escaped!"
"What? You killed so many of our brothers and wanted to run away, how could it be so easy! Chase them and go straight to their camp!"
"That's right! We're chasing after you so hard that the Han dog can't close the door in time!"
"This opportunity is rare, brothers, hurry up, hurry up..."
"Report to Taiji that Han Dog didn't dare to open the camp gate directly in front of him. Those cavalrymen were running around the camp, probably trying to escape through the camp gate at the back!"
"Quick, quick, bite firmly, don't let the Han dog succeed!"
Seeing that the enemy had fled, the morale of the Karaqin Tatars immediately improved a lot. Taking advantage of their large numbers, they rode their horses and whipped their whips in pursuit.
Huang Yi led his men and horses and jogged slowly close to the log wall in the west of the camp.
Gradually, the Tatars and Jiannu, who were still more than a stone's throw away from the wall, got closer.
This was enough, because Huang Yi's camp did not arrange bows, arrows or spears for long-range strikes.
It’s not that there are no men in the camp who can shoot arrows and throw spears. There are thousands of rescued Han people and slaves, including the surrendered proletarian knights, and no less than three thousand are able to throw spears and throw arrows.
Rather, they are worried that newcomers who have not undergone strict training will not obey discipline and expose our military's intentions prematurely.
The tactic Huang Yi personally formulated was to place a three-pound regimental cannon at a distance of fifteen steps, and six hundred musketeers lined up in a row to fire a volley through the gaps in the wooden village wall.
The next step was to knock down the log wall between the artillery pieces, and six hundred heavy infantry formed a formation to stab and chop at random!
When the retreating cavalry heard the first sound of cannon fire, they immediately stopped and returned to reorganize their formation. As soon as the sound of cannon fire stopped, they immediately formed a formation to kill the Jiannu-Kalaqin Allied Forces who had been taught a lesson by the cannon fire.
It’s not that the Jiannu and Tatars are too stupid, nor is it that they underestimate the enemy.
But they didn't know that the army that quickly marched thousands of miles deep into the grassland actually brought cannons.
Because this is unscientific, for many years, except during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army never seemed to bring cannons to the Bashang grassland.
Today's Ming Dynasty is even more unbearable. It was beaten by the Jurchens all the way to the capital and was unable to fight back. How could it be possible to drag cannons to Bashang Grassland to show off its power?
Therefore, when they pursue, they are not afraid that the distance from the village wall is less than 60 steps.
Because it is impossible to throw spears and throwing axes from this distance, the light arrows that can fly can hardly penetrate cotton armor or leather armor.
All in all, it was because the Haraqin Allied Forces suffered a loss, and their anger made them hot-headed. They thought that they could not let the enemy who had succeeded in the sneak attack and took advantage of the attack escape into the camp through the back door.
I didn't think about it at all. The enemy's combat power was so strong. Why did they want to escape?
Huang Yi, who looked back from time to time, couldn't help but smile when he saw the enemy gradually falling into the trap.
The officers around him, such as Hu Xiaochuan, Huang Dapeng, Bi Daxi, etc., were all overjoyed.
Everyone is looking forward to a round of artillery fire and a volley of musketry. How many enemy troops will be killed?
The result will be announced in the next moment!
In order to improve the hit rate, artillery leader Li Wanquan even set up a ruler outside the camp.
Seeing many Tatars and Jiannu crossing the ruler, Li Wanquan was so excited that he immediately lit the fire.
This time he personally controlled a three-pound cannon and made an appointment that when his cannon fired, the entire army would launch an attack.
"Boom, boom, boom, crackle..." Nearly two thousand lead bullets and iron bullets were poured out, and the side attack was surprisingly effective. The enemy suffered between three and four hundred casualties.
Why do you say it was close to firing two thousand bullets?
Fourteen regimental guns fired a hundred bullets, plus six hundred musketeers fired, which was exactly two thousand!
That's because although the firing rate of the flintlock gun has increased, it is only about 80%. Even though the Lumi gun is a matchlock, it may not be able to fire every shot.
But more than 1,900 bullets were sprayed, which was enough for the enemy to drink a pot.
