Ten miles west of the battlefield, Timur's camp.
*** suddenly received a military order, simple and concise, just four words:
Lead the troops in a decisive battle.
The order came in such a hurry that Mao Zedong almost doubted whether it was true. However, the person responsible for communicating the decisive battle order was Timur's guard leader Qolepan. He was absolutely loyal to Timur and there was no way he could have conveyed it incorrectly. Order.
"What happened?"
While Mao Zedong ordered generals Yuri Buyuan and Tabor to lead 50,000 cavalry to support Timur, he also ordered Colin'an and others to rectify all the troops in the camp and prepare for the decisive battle.
Cholepan had a gloomy face and shook his head: "I don't know, but the situation is not good for us. Fezhe's army suffered heavy losses and was almost completely destroyed. With the advice of Musun, Gesuyedin and others, the Sultan ordered his troops to invest The battle, the decisive battle has begun."
*** looked shocked: "What are you talking about? Failed Zhe failed? How is that possible? He was leading a fully armored cavalry! Even if Ming Dynasty used firearms, it would be impossible to severely injure Failed Zhe!"
Cholepan was silent for a moment and said: "Allah will also cry when he comes."
*** looked to the east with difficulty, what had happened on that battlefield, and why did the Sudan suddenly launch a decisive battle!
Sudden?
Timur did not think that this decision was made suddenly. When the army arrived at Qamdo, the decisive battle had already begun. The stay and rest in the past few days were just out of caution and to determine the Ming Dynasty's methods.
However, Timur's order for a general attack was still hasty and unexpected.
A general attack is often initiated on the front line to achieve victory, and then the army is pressed forward to achieve final victory. But Fuzhe did not win, nor did he shake the Ming Dynasty's military formation. Instead, he lost his troops and generals, and almost all his elite cadres were wiped out!
In this unfavorable situation, the most rational way is to retreat, withdraw troops and fight again, rather than investing more forces in the battle and only increasing casualties. However, Timur did the opposite. When the forward suffered a major setback, he devoted his main force to the battle.
Miransha did not understand Tamerlane's military order, thinking that his father was driven crazy by Fuzhe's failure. In order to save the face of the two failures and to reshape his majesty, he ignored the reality and paranoidly ordered the operation. The command.
Shaharul also believed that the decision made by Timur was inappropriate, and hurriedly ran from the left wing to the central army to discuss with Timur, but was whipped back by Timur.
Timur thought about launching an attack at the moment when Fuzhe led the heavily armored cavalry to tear apart the Ming army's formation, breaking through the huddled Ming army's formation in one fell swoop! But the earth suddenly fissured, and countless fire dragons spewed out, swallowing up his most elite heavy cavalry in one go!
If only a part of the elite were lost, Timur would not issue military orders for large-scale operations. It was Musun and the Ming Dynasty who changed Timur's decision.
Mu Sun carefully observed the failure process of Fuzhe Zhe, and thought of Yuri Buyuan talking about the Ming soldiers filling the pits, and suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty was not burying the pits, they were clearly digging them!
It has to be said that Daming made full use of all available conditions. With the help of the pits created by the first round of gunpowder bombs, he simply dug a larger pit and buried new gunpowder. Then it became Fuzhe's nightmare and became The nightmare of the Samarkand heavy cavalry!
Musun told Timur that if he did not take advantage of the fact that there was no gunpowder on the battlefield now and did not advance on the corpses of the dead soldiers, the Ming Dynasty would probably plant explosives again tonight, and by then all the six thousand heavy armored cavalry would be white. Death, more people need to die to clear the way!
gunpowder!
Musun didn't know how much gunpowder the Ming Dynasty had, and Timur didn't know either. But the Ming Dynasty could bury gunpowder within a three-mile radius, so how could there be a shortage of gunpowder?
If Ming was really allowed to bury it again, wouldn't it mean that many elites would be lost again?
The most important thing is that Timur noticed that the front of the Ming Dynasty's military formation was still infantry. Although there were cavalry on both wings, they were all light cavalry. However, these people did not seem to be ready for a decisive battle. Some cavalry did not even mount their horses. .
Timur made a judgment: Zhu Di was prepared to deal with and destroy his heavy armored cavalry, but he was not prepared for a full-scale battle.
Be prepared, he is only planning for the central army, not the overall situation!
In this case, let Zhu Di be caught off guard!
Timur made a decision:
Shaharul was on the left wing and led 10,000 troops to attack Zhu Di's right wing, which was under Xu Huizu.
Miran Shah was on the right wing and led 10,000 troops to attack Zhu Di's left wing - Song Sheng's troops.
He led the central army with 30,000 soldiers, and ordered Gesuyedin to lead 3,000 heavy armored cavalry and 10,000 cavalry to attack Zhu Di's central army.
The three-pronged sudden attack was indeed beyond Zhu Di's expectation.
Zhu Di did not worry about the right and left wings. Xu Huizu and Song Sheng were not ordinary people. Timur wanted to rely on this force to shake the two wings, but he was still somewhat delusional. The most troublesome thing was the Chinese army, Timur.
An invisible pressure hit his heart, and Zhu Di had a hunch that Timur would not withdraw his troops easily this time!
"Zhou Dazhi!"
Zhu Di shouted sharply.
Zhou Dazhi saw that the front army was already fighting with the charging heavy armored cavalry, and that Timur's own army formation was also charging. He immediately ordered the soldiers of the Tiger Crouching Artillery Battalion to get ready, and boxes of gunpowder shells were packed one by one. Opening it, the first gunpowder shell has fallen into the barrel of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, and the locking distance is still three hundred to four hundred steps.
The heavy armored infantry of the Ming Dynasty were composed of border troops. Most of the heavy armor they wore were captured in the past few days. The border soldiers were strong, ruthless, experienced, had a dark psychology, and had a more arrogant temper than the Beijing army.
Zhang Dao used two heavy axes, each one weighing fifteen kilograms and larger than a human head. Seeing Timur's heavy armored cavalry approaching, he turned sideways to avoid the spear, and slashed straight at the horse's leg with the axe. Go down!
No matter how much armor was tied to the legs, the war horse could not withstand such a violent blow. Suddenly the horse stumbled and the cavalry was thrown away. Before the cavalry could stand up, Zhang Dao swung his ax and slashed at the cavalry's neck. Although there is ring armor protection here, it is very weak.
Dingka!
The heavy ax split the armor, and the sharp edge cut into the neck. He took out the ax, and a line of blood spurted out. Looking at the twitching cavalry, Zhang Dao did not add another ax, there was no need.
"Ding!"
The spear stabbed Zhang Dao, his body staggered, he turned around and grabbed the spear with his arm. The ax slashed violently and the spear trembled suddenly. Timur's cavalry could no longer hold the spear, so he let go and was about to draw out the sword. But Zhang Dao dropped his spear and struck the cavalryman on the thigh with an axe. The sharp and heavy force made the cavalryman scream and fall off his horse!
Zhang Daogang wanted to deal with this cavalryman, but he found that he was extremely powerful on horseback. He cooperated with the horse to kick down three heavy armored infantrymen, danced with his spear wildly, knocked off the masks of many people, greeted people directly in the face, and even penetrated them. It hit his brother's eye socket, and then stabbed into his brain!
"ah!"
Zhang Dao was furious, so he took two steps to run, used his feet to jump up, and threw an ax in mid-air!
Bart heard the sound and blocked it with his spear. As soon as he knocked the ax away, he saw a big man rushing over. The spear was too long and he had no time to retract it, so he had to stretch it out and try to block the opponent!
Zhang Dao held an ax in both hands and shouted: "Kill!"
Ding!
Zhang Dao's heavy ax collided with Bart's spear. Bart's expression changed, and his whole body almost tilted out. He tried his best to offset Zhang Dao's strength and pushed him out.
"What a strength!"
Zhang Dao didn't expect that the other party would actually catch his axe, and he immediately became violent. Before Zhang Dao's spear could hit his face, he turned sideways and slashed at the horse's leg. Bart lost his horse, but the spear in his hand was still extremely powerful, and he was almost Zhang Dao retreated continuously, and without paying attention, he was tripped by the fallen horse behind him and fell to the ground. Bart held the spear in both hands and was about to stab Zhang Dao in the face!
Ding!
A gritty sound came out, and the thick crossbow arrow hit Bart straight away!
Zhang Dao turned around and took a look. At some point, the Eight-Niu Crossbow formation moved to the front again!
Li De shouted at Zhang Dao and others: "Destroy these enemies quickly, the enemies are coming for reinforcements!"
Zhang Dao looked into the distance and saw that the smoke and dust were billowing. This group of
People are really powerful. If they dare to run rampant in an area full of pits, are they not afraid of falling off their horses and breaking their necks?
"Brothers, time is running out, kill me!"
Zhang Dao shouted sternly, rushed forward, and struck Bart, who was still dazed just after standing up, with an axe, splitting the helmet open and taking half of his head with it! What Zhang Dao didn't know was that when he struck down the ax, he killed an important general of Tamerlane, the hero Bart who had been on the battlefield for many years. He only thought he was an ordinary sergeant.
Failed Zhe saw Bart's death, saw that the heavy armored cavalry that rushed in front of the Ming army were blocked from attacking, and saw that the few brothers died one after another. Although they killed some Ming soldiers, their formation Thinner and thinner, sparser and sparser!
puff!
Failed Zhe vomited a mouthful of blood. The aftermath of the explosion seemed to have hurt his internal organs. He looked back at the army behind him and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Our mission is to open a road for Sudan! Now is the time to use our Life, go and help the Sultan win! Kill!"
Encouraged by the defeated Zhehan's fear of death, batches of heavy armored soldiers who lost their horses ran towards the Ming Dynasty's military formation and fought with the Ming Dynasty's heavy armored infantry!
Facing the heavy armored soldiers such as Feng Zhe who were not afraid of death, the heavy armored soldiers of the Ming Dynasty lacked a kind of bravery and determination to die. The team of three thousand was forced to break through by the enemy!
Li De, Duan Yun, Yuan Yue, Qu Neng, etc. were all watching nervously. Timur's rear army had already rushed over. These people's riding skills were very good, and they were constantly riding along the edges of the potholes. Although some horses fell down due to lack of strength, most of the cavalry still rushed over.
Zhu Di issued an order to Zhou Dazhi. Zhou Dazhi commanded the Tiger Crouching Artillery Sergeant to take action again. Countless gunpowder bombs rose into the air and then exploded. Many cavalrymen were injured and their horses were damaged. Surprisingly, The effect of this blow was obviously not as good as the first.
The reason is that the gunpowder packets exploded into holes, and many gunpowder bombs fell into these holes. After the gunpowder bombs exploded, many fragments penetrated into the soil, causing damage to the area and effect. greatly weakened.
Gesuyedin led his horse past a pit and looked at the dead soldiers in the pit, his heart filled with anger. Daming, Daming, you can only rely on these gunpowders. Without these gunpowders, you are nothing!
"kill!"
Gesuyeddin shouted with anger.
This time, I want to avenge the dead soldier and fight for the great Sultan!
There is no way out, no more temptation!
This time, it’s a decisive battle, a fight to the death!
Groups of cavalrymen rushed out under the fire of Crouching Tiger Cannon. Many cavalrymen were injured on the road, fell into pits and never stood up again.
There is no doubt that these people are brave warriors, charging forward regardless of life and death.
Gesuyedin smiled. The Ming Dynasty's firearms had lost their effect, and they would lose their greatest reliance!
