"What? The entire Ming army is made up of cavalry...and there are also firebombing soldiers hiding in the haystacks? You, do you think this is to find out the enemy's situation?"
Abatai knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it!
Are the more than 20,000 people under Hong Chengchou's cavalry used to fight against the evil forces? Is this old boy that sinister?
Besides, does he have that many cavalry?
"How many people are there in the Ming army?" Abate asked again, "Do they have cannons?"
"Master Beile, the slaves haven't counted..." Najiala'ezhen said, "And the Ming army didn't let the slaves count. The slaves only knew that their front was spread out very wide, and there was a row of cavalry. The formation blocked the minions, and there was no way to detect the situation behind the formation, so the minions didn’t know if they had cannons.”
"You..." Abatai had the urge to hit people with a whip after hearing what this Mongolian Jia La'e Zhen said.
As for the white-armored soldiers, aren't they just messing around? They didn't even see the Ming army's large formation, but they were blocked by black guns and a cavalry cordon.
You dare to come back and report like this...If you put it aside, such white-armored soldiers will have to be demoted to coated slaves, and the leaders of the team, Jia La Ezhen and Niu Luzhang Jingdu, can be beheaded!
But the situation is different now. The Eight Banners of Manchuria's own white-armored soldiers are not willing to use them to explore the enemy's positions. Letting the Mongols die, the requirements cannot be too high.
But Abatai can't report to Huang Taiji so blindly... He is not Big Beile, nor is he the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo who own the two white flags. He is just a There are 6 awesome little Baylor.
As far as Hou Jin is concerned, he is just a chicken! Oh, it's not a chicken for sale, but a knife to establish authority. Huang Taiji specially used the method of criticizing Abatai to scare the chickens of the six monkeys, Daishan, Amin, Manggurtai, Azige, Dorgon and Duduo. If Huang Taiji finds a wrongdoer to criticize him every once in a while, his head will certainly not fall off... Huang Taiji is not willing to actually kill him. If he kills him, who will Huang Taiji criticize?
But it’s really hard to live a life of being criticized all the time!
Baylor, who is a freshman, also needs face. When Tianming Laohan was here, although Abatai only had 6 great names and was not his legitimate son, he was the fifth Baylor after the four major Baylors. But what about now? It’s really unbearable to look back!
"Let's go!" Abate ordered, "Let's go take a look!"
"嗻!"
Dozens of Zhenglan Banner soldiers responded together, and then embraced Abate and moved forward. Before they could go far, Abate and others were stopped by a row of Ming army cavalry.
Abatai is also a careful person, and of course he does not dare to approach recklessly. He reined in his horse from a distance, then stood up in the stirrups, took out a telescope and raised it, and began to observe the Ming army in front.
He found that the Ming army's cavalry formation was very sparse. Although they pulled out the elders, there were actually not many of them. About three to four hundred steps behind these Ming army cavalry, it seemed that there was the Ming army's brigade... But it was hard to see clearly, and the Ming army seemed to be hiding in the weeds. The water and grass in this area are plentiful. Every year in midsummer and early autumn, the grass grows so tall that it is really difficult to see clearly when people are hiding in it.
"Amma," Bo and Tuo came to their father's side, "we still have to rush away from their cavalry and get closer to investigate!"
"That's all it can do!" Abata nodded.
"Amma," Bo Hetuo said again, "I will take people to charge..."
Abatai glanced at his son: "Are you in a hurry to die? There is an ambush in the grass! Go and mobilize 1,000 Mongolian cavalry! Let them charge, and we can follow!"
"Hey!" Bo Hetuo was a little disappointed, but he still responded, and then went to mobilize the Mongolian cavalry obediently. He quickly gathered about 1,000 Mongolian white-armored soldiers, one hundred cavalry, and placed a group of 10 cavalry in front of the Ming army's cavalry line... This was about to launch a wheel attack!
While Abatai and Bohetuo were gathering the Mongolian cavalry and preparing to launch an attack, the Ming army was also quietly gathering troops.
The arrogant cavalry line did not move much, but some grenadiers hidden in the grass began to move towards the place where the Mongolian cavalry was concentrated.
In addition, an infantry battalion was also taken out of the infantry regiment serving as a reserve force, jumped out of the formation, formed a square formation, and began to advance forward, reaching the rear of a section of the Ming army's cavalry line that might be attacked by the Houjin cavalry. .
"Woo!"
Before the Ming army infantry battalion was in place, the soldiers around Abate blew the charge horn.
When a group of more than a hundred Mongolian white-armored soldiers heard the sound of the horn, they immediately began to drive their horses, first walking quickly, then running in small steps, and then galloping...
"Grenadiers, light the fire!" Liu Wenxiu shouted quickly when he saw more than a hundred cavalrymen running towards him.
The grenadiers under him all carried fire bombs and had already lit them. After hearing his order, they all quickly lit a wooden tube fuse, then took out a small hammer-like grenade and set the wooden tube fuse Plug it in.
Liu Wenxiu also prepared a grenade with a wooden handle. After inserting the fuse, he straightened up first, looked at the direction, and threw the grenade in his hand hard - throwing grenades is also a skill, so you need to be prepared in advance. Use enough force to throw the grenade on the advancing path of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, so that it can explode directly.
Liu Wenxiu threw the grenade first, followed by dozens of grenades (Liu Wenxiu did not gather everyone in the team). After casting, everyone ran away to both sides to avoid being knocked away by the enemy's cavalry.
At the same time, dozens of firecrackers were fired. The one who fired the fire gun was also Liu Wenxiu's man. Because he was far away from Liu Wenxiu, he had no time to join Hou Jin's cavalry before they rushed up, so he simply lit the match rope of the turtle dove gun and waited for the opportunity to fire...
When the gunfire sounded, three or four of the charging Mongolian cavalry immediately fell off their horses, and seven or eight horses had bowl-sized holes in their necks or torsos. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood spurted out. , the injured war horses let out a shrill wail, lost the strength to move forward, and fell down one after another. The charging cavalry group also paused, and the already orderly team became even more chaotic.
However, these Mongolian cavalry were also white-armored soldiers after all, and they were quite brave. Even after being bombarded by turtle doves, they knocked down more than a dozen men and horses. But the remaining knights continued to urge their horses forward.
At this moment, dozens of grenades thrown by Liu Wenxiu and others exploded!
There was a burst of fire, a burst of roar, and then there were shouts, horses neighing, screams, curses, and wails. The charging Mongolia became a mess, and a wave of charges was abruptly disrupted.
While the Mongols' charge was disrupted, dozens of young cavalrymen from the Ming Army in front of them launched a wall-to-wall charge.
Dozens of cavalrymen lined up in a row, each holding a lance, like a moving wall of guns, slamming into the already chaotic Mongolian white-armored soldiers...
...
"Great Khan, I have no choice but to fight a confused battle...My brother's Mongolian white-armored soldiers charged several times, but their fire blunderbuss and explosive bullets fired from nowhere were disrupted. , and then were attacked by their cavalry..."
In Huang Taiji's main formation of the Chinese army, Abatai, who had just retreated from the front line, was making a "three ignorance report" to Dajin Tiancong Khan - he didn't know how many enemies there were, he didn't know what their formation was, and he didn't know the composition of the enemy troops.
You don’t know anything, so if you have to fight, you can only fight in confusion!
Huang Taiji's face turned pale after hearing this, and his only trust in Abatai was gone. But now is not the time to deal with Abatai, because everyone also heard the rumble of artillery when Abatai and the Ming army fought just now.
This group of Ming troops in front of me is indeed a bit troublesome... Are they really Hong Chengchou's subordinates?
Huang Taiji's heart sank, but he still had to keep his face. He said to his left and right: "It seems that the Ming army used all their strength to protect the battle formation... It doesn't matter, they only have this few people." ! Pass the order of the formation, all flags, soldiers and horses, press on the whole line!"
