In the Saihan Mountain camp, everyone from the general to the soldiers were confused.
Those were two thousand people, not two thousand mosquitoes that were gone in the blink of an eye.
What exactly is going on?
The general rubbed his eyes, and a trace of panic inevitably arose in his heart. This time, he wouldn't be in trouble, would he?
Then he shook his head and said to himself: "How is it possible? There are 60,000 troops under my command."
"Come here, quickly mobilize the archers to come forward, and be sure to intercept this Ming army in front of the main camp."
He issued the order again, and this time, the Tatar soldiers were finally alert and quickly mobilized not only the archers, but also the shieldmen as a barrier to protect the archers.
Chen Kan watched the movements of the Tatar camp coldly, but the riding whip in his hand became harder and harder.
The speed of cavalry charge depends on one word, fast.
Even though the weapons in the hands of the cavalry have been changed from traditional spears to muskets, they still cannot escape the word "quick" when charging.
Getting closer and closer to the camp, Chen Kan could even see clearly the rivets on the shields in the hands of the Tatar soldiers.
Cheng Feng issued the order again, and the Ming army quickly changed their formations and formed a semicircle to surround Ben Shiyali and Chen Kan in the center.
This time, only one-third of the Ming army soldiers fired. They were the ones charging at the front, and at the same time, they faced the greatest pressure.
"Bang bang bang~"
A burst of gunfire rang out, and another group of Tatar soldiers fell down.
Looking at the shields that were beaten into sieves, many Tatar soldiers looked shocked. They didn't understand when the Ming army's firecrackers had developed to the point where they could penetrate shields?
Unfortunately, they have no chance to figure it out.
Because the Ming army had successfully reached the gate of the camp.
"kill!"
Cheng Feng shouted loudly, took off his horse and rushed into the camp.
The soldiers of the Ming army behind them changed their formation again, swooping in like a group of wild geese. The soldiers charging at the front had lost the chance to continue shooting, so they took off their cold weapons and started to fight fiercely with the Tatar army. stand up.
As for the soldiers who were not in direct contact with the Tatar army, they quickly raised their firecrackers and fired from the gaps in the crowd.
So the Ming army's military formation changed from a cone to an ellipse.
The outermost soldiers raised their swords and fought bloody battles with the Tatars, while the surrounded soldiers fired their guns to kill the enemies in the distance.
With mutual cooperation, the momentum of the Ming army's charge became unstoppable for a while.
They had to advance three or four miles into the formation before they encountered decent resistance.
The Tatar general looked at the unstoppable Ming army squad as if he had seen a ghost.
In just one stick of incense, the Ming army had already caused a loss of five to six thousand people to Dachu. How is this possible?
But the densely packed corpses lying on the ground were constantly impacting his heart.
Mongolian: "General, this Ming army is crazy, they are crazy."
The fearful voice of his subordinates rang in his ears, and the Tatar general hid behind the tent, fearing that he would be accidentally injured by the Ming army's firecrackers.
After a moment, he ordered with a ferocious expression: "No matter what method you use, you must keep this Ming army for me, absolutely."
At this moment, it was not only the Ming army that was going crazy, but also the senior generals of the Saihan Mountain Camp.
A Ming army of two thousand people actually caused such heavy losses to them. If word spread, all of them would bear the wrath of the Grand Master.
At this moment, they still don’t know what happened at Kent Mountain Camp.
They also don’t know that what they have to bear is not just the wrath of the Grand Master.
But the Ming army charged into the camp so arrogantly, which still made them embarrassed.
"Boer, Ayan, you two come in person!"
The Tatar general called out the names of the two generals. They were the two most elite captains of ten thousand men in the Saihan Mountain Camp. At the same time, their subordinates were also the most elite soldiers in the entire Saihan Mountain Camp.
The two generals whose names were called looked at each other and saw strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes. They had not encountered such a difficult enemy for a long time.
The last time they fought against such an elite Ming army was under the command of a general named Lan Yu among the Ming people, and at that time, they were only a small hundred households.
"Got the order!"
The two of them took the order and left, then gathered their own troops and planned to use their lives to build a fortress.
They didn't believe that a Ming army of about two thousand people could turn the world upside down.
The temporary meeting held by the Tatar general could not affect Chen Kan. At this moment, Chen Kan was only thinking about how to kill a few more enemies.
His long blazing gun was out of bullets, so he chose the short blazing gun.
And now, he didn't give the long fire gun a chance to change the magazine. There were too many Tatar soldiers.
It's boundless, and if you kill one, a second one will immediately fill it. It's so rare and desperate to open a gap.
He held a short fire gun and kept shooting. There were so many Tatar soldiers that Chen Kan didn't need to aim at all. He could just shoot in any direction and kill one of them.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army cooperated very well, and the place with the heaviest firepower was always the front.
Everyone knew very well that their only purpose was to kill through the enemy's formation and escape.
Therefore, Cheng Feng, who was leading the fight, was under the least pressure. Occasionally, one or two Tatar soldiers came close to fight, but they could not escape the fate of being pierced through the chest by his spear.
On the contrary, the Ming army behind them had changed several groups. In the melee, although the killing effect of bows and arrows was far less than the possibility of accidentally injuring one's own people.
But there were still some sharpshooters who shot fatal arrows at the Ming army's camp from a high position.
Not much, but annoying.
Most of the Ming soldiers who fell off their horses were shot by arrows and rolled off their horses, and were then cut into pieces by the Tatar soldiers who rushed up.
Chen Kan looked at this scene with eyes wide open, then gritted his teeth and pointed the barrel of the gun in the direction of the arrows.
There were loud shouts of killing in the camp, and the screams and mournful wails were mixed in. It was really a scene of hell on earth.
The Tatar general's face became increasingly ugly. Although he had sent two of his favorite generals to suppress the formation, the Ming army was still moving forward in an orderly and slow manner.
If this continues, sooner or later this Ming army will cause immeasurable losses to itself.
He didn't understand. Is this Ming army crazy or crazy? Why did they rush into his camp?
It is a pity that Benshiyari was replaced by the Ming army's armor by Chen Kan. In the chaotic army, the Tatar general could not see clearly what Benshiyali looked like.
Otherwise, it shouldn't be the Ming army that's crazy, but him, the Saihan Mountain garrison.
Chen Kan calmed down and no longer fired at unimportant places, but left bullets for everyone in need.
In addition to Chen Kan, there were also Zhou Shi, Cen Gu, Qiu Han, Qian Xinghu and other generals who were surrounded by Ming soldiers. They also began to consciously aim their guns at those hidden in the crowd. Archer.
Not surprisingly, fewer and fewer arrows were fired at the Ming army.
On the contrary, some archers' arrows fell among their own people. For a time, the number of Tatar soldiers who were trampled to death in the Tatar camp rose sharply.
The strong smell of blood penetrated Chen Kan's nasal cavity, almost making Chen Kan gag.
The oval matrix composed of Ming army officers and soldiers is also getting smaller and smaller.
The Ming soldiers in the front row died in battle, and the Ming soldiers behind them would draw their swords to fill the gap.
As for the brothers who died in the battle, their guns were scattered in the Tatar camp, so they didn't care about that much at this time.
It is better to leave behind a firecracker than to leave behind a life.
"Bang~"
Chen Kan shot the last bullet in his short musket at a grinning Tatar sharpshooter, and then touched his waist. He didn't know when the bullets had been used up.
At the same time, many Ming army soldiers also put down their firecrackers and began to draw long knives that they had not used for a long time.
Running out of ammunition and food, this is Chen Kan's truest feeling at this moment.
Chen Kan touched the exquisite and small pistol in his arms. There were only six bullets in it.
He opened the safety without hesitation, fired six shots toward the front through the gap in front of his eyes.
The six Tatar soldiers fell to the ground. Chen Kan drew out his long sword and roared with a ferocious face: "Brothers, change the formation and charge with me!"
Cheng Feng, who was charging at the front, suddenly found that the gunfire behind him became less and less, and there were more and more enemies in front of him. He seemed to realize something, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, change formation, kill!"
There were two changes of formation, one after another, and the Ming army soldiers in front immediately drove their horses again and rushed towards the Tatar wall in a suicidal manner.
The Ming army officers and soldiers at the back also began to give up firecrackers and began to use cold weapons to cut up the Tatar formation.
Of course, the Tatars themselves have no formation. Therefore, under the cutting of the Ming army, it quickly turned into small battle formations fighting each other.
When it comes to cavalry battles, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry has never been worse than the grassland people.
What's more, the Tatar camp at this time was already in chaos. The Tatar soldiers outside wanted to rush over, and the Tatar soldiers who were in direct contact with the Ming army were thinking about how to escape the massacre by the Ming army. This led to the Ming army's sword. Harvesting is extremely fast.
All he had to do was hold the knife across his waist, and the president cut off several heads in one charge.
In the camp, the Tatar soldiers had no time to mount their horses.
So in less than two hours, there was already a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind Chen Kan and others.
Without the blessing of firearms, the Ming army's casualty rate would inevitably rise sharply, but it was all worth it.
Because Cheng Feng could already see the edge of Saihan Mountain Camp.
"Brothers, the exit is right in front, follow me and kill."
Cheng Feng shouted, and the morale of the remaining Ming army soldiers was immediately boosted. Will they finally break through the enemy's formation?
Li Rang's face was also a little excited. His arm was sore and weak at the moment and he could no longer lift the long knife.
He did not remember how many Tatars died in his own hands. He only remembered that although he had been well protected by the Ming army soldiers, there were still many wounds on his body.
"kill!"
He couldn't lift the sword, but he could still shout to encourage the remaining Ming army soldiers.
