The left wing of the Ming army.
Song Sheng encountered the attack of Miran Shah's army. Like Shaharul, Miran Shah also brought 3,000 Samarkand heavy cavalry.
It can be seen that Timur invested a lot of money in this battle, and almost all the heavy cavalry accumulated over the years were pressed forward. This crazy and desperate fighting style indeed exceeded the predictions of Zhu Di, Xu Huizu, and Song Sheng. .
There are 30,000 troops led by Song Sheng, 10,000 Beijing troops, and 20,000 frontier troops, including cavalry led by Qu Tao, Zhu Gaoxu, Xu Yingxu, etc., as well as sergeants from the fifth military camp led by Tang Yun and Zhu Gaosui, as well as Zheng Dacheng and Lu The sergeant of the Fifth Army Camp led by Yi Yi.
Miran Shah's army, like Shaharul, encountered landmines, but Song Sheng's mines were buried a little far away. After Miran Shah used his horses and sergeants to "sweep the mines", he suddenly reached the 400-meter front line of Song Sheng's army. There are no carts or fences.
Song Sheng sat on the horse and shouted to Qu Tao, Zhu Gaoxu, Xu Yingxu, Liu Chaozong and other cavalry generals: "It is said that Timur's cavalry is the best in the world. They have been fighting for decades without a single defeat! But Harry has 40,000 men." The Qi Dynasty was destroyed and Harry was captured! Now Timur has sent Miran Shah. I heard that this is Harry's uncle, Timur's son. Do you dare to follow me to capture this man and present it to the emperor! "
"Why don't you dare!"
Qu Tao, Xu Yingxu and others shouted loudly. Although Zhu Gaoxu did not speak, he also raised the spear.
Song Sheng drew out his sword, pointed at the cavalry in front, and shouted loudly: "Come, let them see the power of the Ming cavalry! Kill!"
"kill!"
When the military order falls, thousands of horses gallop!
Song Sheng has experienced hundreds of battles and has been stationed in the northwest for many years. He has often dealt with cavalry. He knows that the secret of fighting cavalry is:
The enemy is strong and I am stronger!
Are the Ming Dynasty's cavalry really weak?
No!
Song Sheng doesn't believe this!
During the Hongwu period, among the famous generals Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Wenzhong, which one did not lead the cavalry to chase the Mongolian cavalry everywhere? Who dares to say that the Ming cavalry is weak?
That's right, when the first generation of cavalry aged, and when war no longer became the norm in the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry declined, and their combat effectiveness was no longer as good as that of the first generation of cavalry!
But these cavalry are just old, not dead!
Some of the cavalry generals back then are still alive. At least, I, Song Sheng, am still alive!
Whether the cavalry is strong or not depends on training, will, courage and fanatical desire! Song Sheng gave them this, Ming Dynasty gave them this, they are no longer degraded cavalry, but have transformed from degradation and become an elite!
After the life-and-death fight with Harry, and the running-in and training on the battlefield, the Ming cavalry has become energetic. What is missing now is a greater victory!
Charge, win, win glory!
For the family!
For military merit!
The Ming Dynasty that protects us, fight!
war!
war!
The cavalry thundered, and Song Sheng took the lead!
Ivor, Miranda's vanguard, was charging forward with the light cavalry. Suddenly he saw the Ming Dynasty cavalry rushing out. He couldn't help but be shocked and thought: They actually launched a charge?
Didn’t it mean that the Ming Dynasty had no cavalry, only sergeants on horseback? How dare an army like this launch a charge against Tamerlane's cavalry with great achievements in battle?
court death!
Ivor was very disdainful, but after all, a large group of cavalry was coming, so he still issued the military order: "Get ready..."
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the sky, and a burst of black rain filled the sky.
Ivor looked at the Ming army in surprise. What was the use of shooting arrows from such a long distance?
not good!
This is a crossbow!
Damn it, when did the crossbow become a cavalry weapon?
Song Sheng was not a fool. He knew that a bow was not as good as a crossbow, and he also knew that Li De had a lot of crossbow arrows, so he simply asked for them as his first shot.
The range and power of the crossbow are much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows. After one round, Ivor is already half disabled.
The light cavalry battle formation is even weaker! Ivor was heartbroken, and just when he was about to counterattack, Song Sheng's cavalry was already one hundred and fifty steps closer, with bows and arrows flying over them, and a round of missiles flew towards them.
Ivor hid sideways on the side of the horse, dodging a hail of arrows. As soon as he stood up, an arrow hit Ivor between the eyebrows, and the arrow penetrated his head!
Fall hard!
Miran Shah saw Ivor's death and the Ming Dynasty cavalry that suddenly came over. He immediately ordered the heavy cavalry behind to follow him, and at the same time sent someone to notify Timur, asking for support!
This is a rare opportunity! The Ming Dynasty actually sent cavalry to take the initiative to fight. Well, as long as they fight here, the Ming Dynasty's left wing will be completely cut off by itself. Without the left wing, Zhu Di's central army will no longer have the possibility to persist!
Light cavalry is at a disadvantage against heavy cavalry, but it is not impossible to be hostile!
For this moment, Song Sheng specially arranged a special cavalry force of 3,000 people in the army. Their weapons were very special and not mainstream, namely large iron rods and meteor hammers.
The big iron rod is very heavy, and the meteor as big as a watermelon hits anyone who hits it, causing pain.
Song Sheng did not take the initiative to cause trouble for the heavy cavalry at all, but directly led his men to spare them and went straight to Milansha. The remaining heavy cavalry were naturally led by Qu Tao, Tang Yun, Zhu Gaosui and others to deal with them.
Facing Song Sheng's initiative to attack, Miransha showed extremely high military literacy and was eager to try. He led his cavalry to shoot at each other several times, but ignored the dead sergeant and charged directly towards him!
Song Sheng faced Milansha directly, one with a sword and the other with a spear!
Zhu Gaoxu, Xu Yingxu and other cavalrymen met Milansha's generals, while Zheng Dacheng led his men to fight beside Song Sheng!
Timur of the Chinese army received requests from Miran Shah and Shaharul, but did not send reinforcements immediately, but waited and watched. Gesuyedin led his men into Zhu Di's Chinese army's battle formation, but the advance was very slow. Almost every step forward had to pay a price!
*** looked at the hesitant Timur and quickly persuaded: "Sultan, now is our opportunity. We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the situation we finally opened will be lost!"
Yuri Buyuan looked at Gesuyedin who had broken into the Ming army camp, and looked at Timur anxiously: "We must make a quick decision. Once the rear army fails, they will all be in dire straits. Sultan, you must not hesitate!"
Timur stared at the battlefield ahead. Zhu Di used gunpowder, crossbows, fire blunderbuss, and Modao team! Xu Huizu used a large chariot formation, gunpowder bombs from the sky, and gunpowder bombs from the ground. Song Sheng used gunpowder bombs from the ground, and cavalry!
Ming Dynasty’s endless methods should have been exposed by now!
What else can they rely on?
It’s gone, and there can be no more.
The Ming Dynasty just mastered the secret of more powerful gunpowder and used gunpowder on the battlefield.
That's all!
This is the end of their methods, they have used what should be used, and used what should be used. Look, whether it is infantry or cavalry, Ming Dynasty will not be his opponent.
Now that Shaharu has defeated the car formation and Xu Huizu's front line has gradually collapsed, give Shaharu a decisive force!
Since Miransha is facing the cavalry and Song Sheng personally takes the initiative, let him never come back and stay on the battlefield completely!
Now that Gesuyedin has penetrated Zhu Di's army, let Zhu Di become a prisoner!
Timur clearly saw the situation on the battlefield. As long as he added more fire and strength, the Ming Dynasty's military formation would completely collapse!
The time for the decisive battle has arrived!
Timur did not hesitate any longer and issued a majestic military order: "Yuri Buyuan, lead 20,000 cavalry to support Shaharul in order to defeat Xu Huizu's right wing!"
"Take your orders!"
Yuri Buyuan turned the horse's head and took away 20,000 fine riders.
Timur continued: "Da Ying, bring 20,000 cavalry to support Miransha, in order to kill Song Sheng and cut off Zhu Di's right wing!"
"Take your orders!"
Da Ying also left with Jingqi.
Timur looked at *** and the people behind him
The tens of thousands of troops then pointed at Zhu Di's central army and gave a simple and concise order: "***, bring 50,000 cavalry to support Gesuyedin and charge!"
The *** solemnly accepted the order, and then organized the sergeants to charge in batches!
The three-mile battlefield could not accommodate a charge of 50,000 cavalry in one breath, but Timur still gave the enemy 50,000 troops, indicating that this was a decisive battle that must be won, and it was all his main force!
Timur watched majestically as the armies mobilized and charged, with incomparable confidence in his eyes!
Everything is under control and everything will be reversed!
The initial failure is not terrible. What is terrible is that you never dare to stand up again after failure.
Over the years, I have never experienced such a thrilling war. Even facing the lightning Bayezid, I have never experienced such a defeat. Harry was captured and 40,000 elites were wiped out. This was no longer a simple failure, but a defeat. What a shame!
No matter how many injuries, no matter how many accidents, it will be over.
Timur believed in his own judgment. Once a legion consisting mainly of infantry was torn apart by cavalry, they would be reduced to lambs and would have no room for resistance!
Musun held the reins of the horse and comforted the agitated war horse. With a hint of worry in his eyes, he said to Timur: "Isn't it too early to engage in the main battle now?"
"Morning?"
Tamerlane disagreed.
Musun looked ahead. Countless cavalry rushed towards the Ming Dynasty's military formation, but in front of these cavalry, in Zhu Di's central army, there seemed to be no sign of collapse.
Gesuyedin and Shaharul rushed into the Ming army, but they did not really defeat the Ming army. Instead, they were fighting and fighting with the Ming army! The Ming army did not show signs of fatigue, nor did large-scale riots occur. The sergeants panicked and fled for their lives!
Under such circumstances, it is extremely risky to rashly invest all the troops in combat. If Zhu Di really has a backup plan, how should Timur deal with it?
Timur looked at the worried Musun and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if the Ming Dynasty still had means, it would have been used long ago. Military formations are all about one breath. If their front army can't hold it anymore , who will continue to stay and fight? You have to know that when the army is defeated like a mountain, there is no way for an individual to turn the tide and support it independently."
Musun nodded.
Yes, when the army is fighting, once the forward is defeated, it will definitely damage the momentum of the entire army. Once the momentum weakens, the combat power will be reduced sharply. After another round of charge, they will flee in all directions, like birds and beasts!
Under the general trend, it is difficult for anyone to save!
Zhu Di, Zhu Di, I still look up to you. The intelligence said that you are a powerful person, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that. There is no room for mistakes on the battlefield. If you are wrong, you are not the only one who will be affected. You and the hundreds of thousands of troops here will be ruined!
Because the Ming Dynasty captured Harry, and because the Ming Dynasty destroyed many heavy cavalry, Timur will have no mercy or mercy for you. Even if you kneel down and surrender, he will issue the order to massacre without mercy!
Being killed will be your final fate.
Musun firmly believed in Timur's judgment and placed the crutch across his waist. Suddenly, the crutch broke in the middle without warning. Seeing this scene, Musun's face suddenly changed, and his soul was uneasy. He asked in a trembling voice: "This, what exactly is going on?"
