I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 702
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Before the Mongols came into close combat with Heshun and others, they heard a series of firearms sounds from the Ming army cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry fell to the ground one after another.

This is the musketry tactic used by Heshun Xue Jingying. Before the handover of cavalry, a short-hand flintlock shot is suddenly used. This can not only kill the enemy by surprise, but also disturb the enemy's horses.

At this moment, the Ming army's artillery fire on the other side rang out again. This time they did not target the Mongolian front army, but fired at the rear army.After a burst of artillery fire, even if few targets were hit due to the distance, the horses on the opposite side were frightened and began to spin left and right, making it difficult to control.

The Ming army attacked from the front and the Ming army shelled from behind, instantly causing the Horqin cavalry led by Adai to panic.

But before they could react, Heshun took the lead and led more than 100 people to rush towards the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side, followed quickly by soldiers and horses.

Heshun was rich and powerful. He and his servants all wore three layers of armor. Later, Garduhun, Zhengaru and others led their troops and horses, all wearing double armor. They were not afraid of charges at all, even if the arrows fired from the opposite side were not affected at all. Will seriously injure it.

"kill!"

It was like a sharp knife, piercing into Horqin's cavalry.Seeing the Ming army on the opposite side charging towards them without fear of death, he felt anxious. He knew that he had to deal with this Ming army now, otherwise he would not be able to reach the ferry at all.

But he was not afraid. The Ming army was well-equipped, but he also had a numerical advantage.

"There are few soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, so don't be afraid!"

After Adai finished speaking, he didn't hesitate and immediately led his men to turn their horses and kill Heshun and others.

The cavalry was fighting in the east, and Zai Sang and others were not idle either. He had already led his troops to rush to He Shixian's formation and started fighting with He Shixian's troops.

However, unlike Heshun, He Shixian did not panic when faced with the attack by Zaisang and others, and did not take the initiative to attack. He just actively defended and ensured that the front army would not be dispersed.

And just behind the Ming army's formation, a steady stream of soldiers and horses crossed the river from the pontoon bridge. After briefly gathering on the shore, they quickly entered the battlefield.Seeing this, Zaisang became more and more anxious. If he continued like this, not only would he not be able to break through the Ming army's formation, but he might even be pushed back by the Ming army.

Therefore, he could only send someone to send a message to Adai and Orgo, asking them to attack as soon as possible, otherwise they would be in danger.At the same time, he glanced at the south bank of the Laoha River, secretly thinking that he had done what he could do, and hoped that his father and Huang Taiji could speed up the progress and put pressure on him to slow down.

At this moment, a "woo-woo" horn sounded faintly from the south bank, which suddenly gave Zaisang some hope.

On the south bank of Laoha River, there is the south gate of the Ming army camp.

Man Gui, the commander-in-chief of the Guangning Army, and Qin Minping, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army, and others stood on the fence of the south gate, holding telescopes and looking south.I saw densely packed Mongolian cavalry appearing on the horizon, lining up towards the Ming army camp.

"Unexpectedly, Governor Zhu guessed it. Huang Taiji really wanted to attack them from the north and the south and catch them off guard."

Man Gui looked at the Mongolian army approaching slowly from the opposite side, feeling unperturbed in his heart.Qin Minping also laughed when he saw this.

"A few days ago, when the Governor wanted to set up camp and slowly cross the river, many people secretly complained that the Governor was too timid. I think after today, no one would dare to say such a thing."

"They came just in time. The fighting is in full swing in the north. Since He Shixian wants to make meritorious deeds, we can't hold him back."

After Mangui finished speaking, he continued to look forward and continued without looking back:

"Guangning Chinese Army Staff General Mao Wenlong."

"The general is here!" As he spoke, a middle-aged general in armor came out of the queue and raised his hand to Man Gui.

"When the Jianlu were wiped out, we Liaozuo officers and soldiers didn't get any soup. No matter what, we have to make a comeback this time. Do you have the confidence?"

"Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, we are all holding our breath in Liao Zuo. We will definitely not disgrace Commander-in-Chief this time."

"Okay, then hurry down and prepare. Just wait for the order later."

When Mao Wenlong heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and walked away with five or six generals.Qin Minping, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army on the side, laughed when he saw this, and turned to Luo Qianxiang and Cao Bianjiao, who were on the side, and said:

"You guys should go down and get ready, don't embarrass me."

"As ordered!"

Cao Bianjiao couldn't bear it anymore and was about to leave.Luo Qianxiang was originally a subordinate of She Chongming. After being surrendered by Qin Minping, he followed him to the capital camp.Today's battle was Qin Minping's first battle since he took charge of the Xuanwu Army. Therefore, he knew the importance of this battle and must not lose anything to embarrass Qin Minping, so he solemnly handed over to Qin Minping before turning back and leaving.

At this moment, the Mongolian soldiers and horses on the opposite side moved slowly, and soon they arrived less than three or four miles away from the camp before slowly stopping.

Immediately after the cavalry separated several roads, more than ten shield vehicles were slowly pushed out.After a brief pause, they were continued to be pushed towards the Ming army camp, followed by more than two thousand Mongolian cavalry as cover.

This made Mangui and others confused. Although the Ming army's camp had no trenches, the fence was very deep. How could it be broken through with shield vehicles.

However, they quickly stopped worrying about the matter and immediately ordered the Beijing camp artillery to prepare. When the Mongolian shield vehicles advanced to about two miles, the forts in the fence of the camp immediately erupted into bursts of roar.

"Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of artillery shells were fired at the moving shield truck. The heavy iron bullets hit the grass and splashed up bursts of mud. However, due to the first test firing, none of the shield trucks were smashed, and instead escorted The cavalrymen were hit a lot, and they were wailing in pain on the ground and bleeding.

After the first test firing, the artilleryman skillfully adjusted the angle and re-aimed at the shield vehicle again.The Mongols discovered that the Ming army was actually attacking with artillery, and once again sent several teams of cavalry to cover the left and right side of the shield vehicle, allowing the shield vehicle to speed up.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, the second bombardment started again, and dozens of shells flew towards the shield vehicle again.The accuracy this time was much better than the first time. Two shells flew from high altitude and hit the shield vehicle directly, causing the vehicle to crash and killing everyone.

But Qin Minping and others looked through the telescope and saw clearly that the thing in the shield car was nothing else but full of black powder.

"No, they want to push the shield cart over and light it on fire so that they can blow up the fence and rush into the camp."

"It seems that they also want to confront us head-on, so don't delay! Open the door and fight with real swords and guns!"

Mangui didn't care when he saw this. He originally wanted to use artillery to consume the Mongols.But now that they saw that they were too smart to be fooled, they didn't want to delay it any longer. They immediately ordered Mao Wenlong and others to leave the camp and set the shield carts on fire and destroy them first.

But Huang Taiji on the opposite side was not stupid, and the sound of horns came from the opposite side again.
