Qiming 1158

Chapter 1462 The sky is blue, the wild is vast, the wind blows the grass and the grass is low... the enemy

On the second day when Su Haisheng led the army to besiege the city, the Ming army along with Chen Qixian arrived at Hu Siyuan's ear and successfully joined forces with Su Haisheng.

Also on the same day, Su Haisheng received a report from the Sovereign Army, saying that a huge military force was rushing to Hu Sior'er's ear and was rapidly moving in the direction of Hu Si'or's ear.

Loud.

Su Haisheng judged that this should be the reinforcement of Western Liaoning.

Before, the Marshal of the Western Liao Dynasty, Xiao Weili, led [-] elites to attack the country of Khwarizimo, which was in danger.

The Ming army did not care about the country of Khwarizimo, but just took advantage of this good opportunity to gallop all the way, and penetrated the Uighurs in Xizhou in a month, and then the soldiers approached the tiger and thought about it.

It cannot but be said that there is no "contribution" of the Khwarazm country in it.

And now that the crusades of Xiao Orila and Xiliao have returned, it shows that they have not given up their struggle and decided to fight to the death.

Su Haisheng soon realized that this was the time for the big battle.

According to the military report, the army under the command of Xiao Ulila not only consisted of [-] elites from the Western Liao Dynasty, but also more than [-] servants from the kingdom of Xikarakhan, with a total number of about [-], and the momentum was huge.

In this case, [-] troops can still be pulled out to help. It has to be said that this is enough to reflect the strong national strength of Xiliao, and it is worthy of the position of the hegemon of Xiliao in Central Asia.

But unfortunately, Su Haisheng also had 8 Ming troops along the way, and Su Haisheng was not worried about what the 8 reinforcements would cause.

Moreover, this is the decisive battle he has been pursuing for a long time, a decisive battle at the strategic level, a decisive battle with a total force of more than 15 troops!
He hadn't encountered a big battle of this level for many years. As a general, this kind of opportunity was elusive, which made him very excited.

Su Haisheng raised the spirit of 12 points, and immediately ordered troops and generals to rectify the [-] cavalry and [-] infantry troops, leaving [-] troops to continue to besiege Hu Siwu'er, and he led the [-] main force to face the [-] soldiers who were attacking Xiao Ori. reinforcements.

Come on, let's fight!

On the fourth day of December in the tenth year of Hongwu, the temperature was cold and windy, but the sun was still good, so it was not that cold.

At the end of the morning, the Ming army and the Xiliao army met in the Bishkek area west of Husi Ordu, and immediately started a decisive battle-this area has another name that has existed for 65 years, called Fulongzhi.

Here, Su Haisheng encountered the rare opportunity to command a battle alone since he joined the army.

The last time he encountered this opportunity was when he pacified the Golden Army in Guanzhong. It was a long time ago. He can still remember the frenzy at that time, and this time, he was also very frenetic.

The place where the two armies fought was a wilderness, the sky was blue, the wild was vast, and the wind and grass were low... the enemy.

The march of the Western Liao army was actually very well-organized. Whether it was infantry or cavalry, they all came slowly in formation, in an orderly manner, and marched side by side. Obviously, they were elite soldiers who had received certain training.

Seeing that everyone was still some distance away, Su Haisheng's entire army stopped advancing, and the artillery was pushed to the front line.

The West Liao Army saw that the Ming army was no longer advancing, but began to introduce some strange weapons in front of the big formation, and was quite puzzled.

Xiao Orili asked his subordinates if they understood what the Ming army was doing, but all the generals said they were unclear.

Only one of his subordinates said that he had heard from his business relatives that the Ming army had powerful new firearms, which were said to be as terrifying as thunder. I wonder if it was these things.

Xiao Weili thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Firearms are nothing to be afraid of, just listen to the sound. The real threats are the military formations and cavalry of the Ming people. You see, the military formations of the Ming people are very strict, with clear armor and clear banners. At first glance, they are well-trained people. With their cavalry, they are equally elite and should not be underestimated."

The cavalry was the majority and the infantry was in the minority in Xiaourilia, while the Ming army had more infantry and relatively few cavalry.

In order to balance the force, Xiao Orila decided to dismount some of the cavalry and turn into infantry, supplement the infantry formation, stabilize the large formation of the central army, and then ordered the whole army to move forward slowly, not to disturb the formation. In the army formation, it would be a fantasy to want to reorganize the army.

Then he set a tactic. First, he used some cavalry to move to the two flanks, entangled with the Ming cavalry, and then urged the infantry to move forward to confront the Ming infantry.

Because the cavalry is very confident here, when the cavalry gradually suppresses the Ming cavalry, as long as the infantry remains undefeated, they will try their best to entangle with the Ming army.

He will use the superior cavalry to defeat the Ming cavalry. As long as the Ming cavalry is defeated, even if the Ming infantry is strong, at least the Xiliao army is in an undefeated state, and there is a lot to do.

As for the specific operation, it mainly depends on whether the generals and soldiers under his command are competent. Anyway, after the order is issued, it depends on the specific operation of the generals.

He believed that the generals under his command were strong enough, because they had just won the victory over the army of Khwarizm, and they still had some morale.

However, Xiao Weili was wrong, and the Ming army did not play cards according to the rules from the very beginning.

When the cavalry of the Western Liao army began to detour to the flanks and the infantry began to attack, Su Haisheng ordered the general's artillery to fire.

The general artillery with the farthest range is often the first part of the Ming army's firepower attack, which is dedicated to bombarding the dense army of the enemy. Although there is no explosive effect, the impact and aftermath of the huge iron bullet can be used in the bombing. A bloody path was ploughed in the dense army formation.

Twenty generals' artillery was fired and crashed to the ground, bringing a devastating blow to the dense infantry formation of the Liao Army.

Xiao Weilia's position is still some distance away from the front-line fighting army. Nevertheless, when the falling iron bullet bounces up and continues to charge forward, it will bring the kind of terrifying damage to the soldiers in the army, the kind of ploughing a bloody path. The sense of impact was still in his eyes.

To be honest, the actual lethality brought by the general artillery is not large, and a single shell can not kill many people in a dense army formation.

But the problem is that the death of the people who were killed is too terrible, the sound is too scary, and the momentum of indomitable progress is too intimidating, so it can scare the feudal army.

It can be said that the General Cannon is not a weapon to kill the enemy, but it is definitely a magic weapon to destroy the enemy's morale, not to mention the infantry, even the Xiliao cavalry team that was charging and preparing to attack the Ming cavalry was shocked by the sudden thunderous noise. Living.

Some of the less timid horses were already in a state of fright, and the momentum of the entire cavalry team's charge was thwarted. Many cavalrymen were affected, and even their horses fell to the ground.

The cannonball of the Great General Cannon is like throwing a stone on a calm lake, it can't actually hurt the lake, but the ripples it brings have made the lake unable to calm down.

The Xiliao army was also unable to return to its normal fighting spirit.

This is fatal on the big battlefield where the two armies are tit for tat.

After the second round of firing from the Great General Artillery, because the Xiliao infantry formation had stopped advancing, the Ming army infantry formation began to move, and the cavalry also divided into two groups and launched a violent counter-charge towards the two flanks of the Xiliao cavalry. , the front is tough.

There are not so many twists and turns on the battlefield. When fighting between knives and knives, in addition to courage, it is courage. All tactics and tactics need courageous people to achieve. Without courage, there is nothing.

The most important thing for the soldiers of the Ming army is courage.

The generals of the Western Liao Army were a little lacking in courage at this moment, especially the infantry.
