"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether you are fooled or not!"
Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "At this point, whether to fight or not is no longer up to Chahar himself."
"Too!"
Chongzhen nodded and said: "Tell all the troops to be careful when retreating tomorrow and don't mess up the formation!"
"I will summon all the generals in a moment and give them another warning. Tonight is probably the quietest night before the war. Your Majesty can have a good rest tonight!"
"Having said that, it's impossible to take it lightly!"
"I understand!"
After a few words of explanation, Chongzhen returned to the big tent, while Sun Chengzong summoned the generals to arrange various matters.
More than twenty miles away, Chahar Lindan Khan and the tribal leaders looked in the direction of the Ming army, their eyes full of anger.
"It's so arrogant. They actually camped in our territory so peacefully and treated us like nothing!"
"Great Khan, give me an elite force and I will attack the camp at night!"
"Stupid, you can think of it, but the Ming army can't think of it? Just waiting for you to die!"
"That's right, I guess as soon as you were about to leave the camp, they... damn, I couldn't help it anymore!"
Before the leader finished speaking, he saw dozens of Ming cavalry from the Seventh and Eighth Teams hundreds of meters away, wandering around.
Shi Ke couldn't bear it, he was simply too arrogant.
What the Ming army did was equivalent to saying that they could not monitor the activities of the Ming army, and their actions were exposed to the eyes of the Ming army.
"Khan, this..."
"Go, go back, check again, let you kill enough tomorrow, don't let this matter affect our layout!"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Danhan interrupted him coldly, turned his horse and headed towards the camp.
Everyone had no choice but to follow them, and before leaving, they did not forget to cut the throat of the Ming army!
The two armies lived in such strange peace until late at night.
At the Yinzheng hour, when the moon turned to the west, there was sudden movement in the quiet Ming army camp.
A trace of firelight lit up in the tent, and a sergeant who was sleeping in his clothes immediately stood up, grabbed the dry food next to him and swallowed it with water.
By the time the sun rose, the army had moved forward more than twenty miles, and was only more than fifty miles away from Guihua City.
In the center of the army, a five-foot-tall four-wheeled watchtower cart stood. On top of the cart, the sergeant monitored every move within a radius of twenty miles through clairvoyance.
The five colors of flags represent the directions, and the sound of golden drums is used to send signals and orders.
"Car camp, move forward three hundred meters!"
"When Chahar is about to attack, the gun soldiers jump out from behind the chariot and fire in five stages of combat!"
"The mine camp is always ready!"
…
After receiving the order, the armies moved, and the mine battalion began to dig holes and place pipes for pulling wires, but no mines were placed.
When the Ming army was moving, Chahar's army also arrived.
Looking at the formation of the Ming army, Lin Danhan said coldly: "Seben, take the three thousand cavalry for a walk and see how they react!"
"Got the order!"
Seben roared excitedly, then waved his hand: "Warriors, follow me and charge!"
After saying that, he galloped away, followed by thousands of cavalrymen behind him.
The war horse flew across with four hooves, and each hoof made a hoof mark and immediately brought up debris of soil.
Looking at the Chahar cavalry getting closer and closer, Sun Chengzong chuckled and said disdainfully: "If you want to test us, then let you test us enough!"
"Bird gun soldiers, five stages of warfare, thirty meters in front of the carriage camp, prepare!"
"Five hundred meters!"
"Four hundred meters!"
"Three hundred meters, light the match rope!"
"laugh……"
As the match rope was lit, six thousand bird gun soldiers (in groups of two) rushed out from behind the car camp and pointed their guns at the Chahar cavalry.
"stop!"
Seeing the fire gun soldiers suddenly rushing out and the burning fire, Seben roared angrily, pulled the reins, and the war horse moved forward a few meters and then stopped, as did the cavalry behind him.
Although it was not a full-speed charge, the fact that it could stop so neatly showed that the cavalry was well-trained. ,
But even so, the cannon has already been fired.
boom……
boom……
After the match burned, it ignited the powder in the medicine chamber door, which then triggered the gunpowder in the barrel, pushing away the lead bullets and bringing with it a whooshing sound.
Bang...bang...
Moo...
The sound of Chahar's cavalry falling to the ground, their screams, and the neighing of their horses were mixed together.
"Take the wounded and retreat!"
In just an instant, Seben gave the order to retreat. At this moment, the skills of the Chahar cavalry were highlighted.
Actions such as fishing for the moon from the sea, taking advantage of the situation to turn over, turning around and galloping are all done in one go.
After a few breaths, leaving more than ten injured horses behind, the Chahar cavalry turned around.
As for the Ming army, after all the fire soldiers returned to the chariot camp, what appeared in front of Chahar was a long wall of tanks one or two miles long.
"Khan, the opponent is indeed a firearm. No one of us died in the test just now, but a few people were hit by the lead bullets of the fire guns. After taking out the lead bullets and applying herbal medicine, they will be fine after a few days of rest!"
"Um!"
Lin Danhan nodded slightly, and then looked at the military advisor Sangkarzhai: "What's the next step?"
"Khan, just continue to tease the Ming army, consume their firearms and ammunition, and make them highly nervous at all times. Not only the front, but also the left and right sides can continue to harass."
"good!"
After Lin Danhan responded, he turned to look at the tribal leaders behind him: "Seben, Haldenmu, and Qigra, the three of you will lead the cavalry of your headquarters. Each time you send out a thousand troops, attack once every quarter of an hour, and rotate in turn.
Calculate the distance clearly and retreat immediately as soon as you reach the range of the Ming army's artillery. You have to be fast! "
"yes!"
The three of them took the order and left.
So throughout the battlefield, the Chahar cavalry continued to charge and turn back.
Every time they charged, the Ming army shot once.
The two parties cooperated very...tacitly!
It wasn't until sunset that Chahar slowly retreated. Throughout the day, Chahar struck dozens of times in three directions.
The distance of each charge was different, and there was no pattern to be found. The closest one was only fifty meters away from the Ming army. The Ming army sergeants could clearly see the white mist sprayed from their nostrils when the horses galloped.
In the Chahar camp, the tribal leaders were gnawing on the leg of mutton. Someone shouted: "It's so fun. They treated the Ming army like monkeys today. There's nothing they can do against us!"
"It's not fun, why not just rush in and kill them. Today's test shows that the Ming army is like a weakling!"
"Don't worry, the longer it takes, the better it is for us. The guns are exploding, the ammunition can't keep up, and the military supplies can't keep up. If it rains again, it will be very beneficial to us!"
"Military advisor, what do you think?"
Sangkarzhai looked at the boiling broth in the iron pot on the bonfire and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, everyone, judging from today's test, the Ming army is very stable and will not be greedy for merit or advance rashly.
Although the firecrackers are a little slower to attack, they are definitely well-trained and must not be taken lightly. The longer it is delayed, the better it is for us.
I will continue to test it tomorrow, but change the routine and I will personally direct it! "
