Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 185 Tatars, times have changed (4k)

In the general perception of Beiyuan people, the Han people's riding and shooting skills are far inferior to theirs.

You must know that the prairie people have been learning to ride goats as long as they can remember, and as they get older, they have started learning to ride horses.

The toys in the little hands are machetes and bows and arrows!
People in human and horse kung fu think they are invincible.

It was this Mongolian iron hoof that shattered the Song Dynasty.

In Nai'er Buhua's opinion, in the prairie, encountering such a surprise battle, how could their Ming people be their opponents.

Not to mention, when the spies came to report just now, there were only 3000 people on the other side.

Even in terms of numbers, their side had the advantage.

Doesn't this mean that a sheep has fallen into a tiger's mouth?

He will never let go of the free little lamb without spending it.

"Brothers, follow me to kill Akito!"

The leader, Nai'er, without a strange cry, directly led 5000 fine riders and galloped towards the direction explored by the spies.

These days, he has long been depressed.

Peking City.

within the tent.

"Marquis Shen, would it be inappropriate to let His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince lead the troops like this?" Chen Heng, the commander of Yanshan Left Guard, said.

Standing in front of the map, Yang Xian was complaining that the maps in ancient times were still too rough. At this time, he heard a voice behind him. He turned around, looked at Chen Heng, and said with a smile: "Have I already arranged for General Gu Cheng?" Are you coming along?"

"Even so, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince only brought 3000 people out. Isn't it still too few?" Chen Heng looked worried and then said. "You must know that these days, Wang Baobao's troops will wander around from time to time. When His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince goes out like this, he is very likely to encounter them."

"How many troops does Wang Baobao's guerrilla force usually have?" Yang Xian asked.

"After many inspections, we found that the number of people was around 5000 each time," Chen Heng said.

It was precisely because of this that he was worried that the combat effectiveness of 5000 Mongolian elite cavalry was no joke.

Chen Heng was worried when he found that Yang Xian in front of him was smiling.

"Lord Shenhou, why are you laughing? I am reporting business to you." Chen Heng said anxiously.

Yang Xian smiled and said: "I saw you were so worried. I thought Wang Baobao's guerrilla force had 5 people. It's only 5000 people. Don't worry, His Highness the Fourth Prince won't be able to hurt a single hair."

Yang Xian paused for a moment before speaking.

"You should watch carefully. His Highness the Fourth Prince went out with 3000 people, and they will also come back with 3000 people."

Although Chen Heng was still a little worried, since Yang Xian, the coach, had said so, he couldn't continue to say anything else.

This is not the first time that Yang Xian has gone on an expedition. The roar of dragons outside Peiping City made his reputation in the army skyrocket.

In addition, he successfully calculated that Wang Baobao would bypass Xu Da's main force and take the risk to attack the city, which made him even more uneasy.

When leaving the tent, Chen Heng was still mumbling in a low voice.

3000 people go out and 3000 people come back.

Unless His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, they did not encounter the Mongolian cavalry.

grassland.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, General Gu, an enemy attack has been detected ahead." A cavalryman galloped from the front and shouted loudly.

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth raised, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden. He raised his hand and said loudly: "Brothers from the Shenji Camp, prepare for the gun formation!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud response sounded from behind him.

The 2000 brothers from the Shenji Battalion dismounted and formed their formation directly on the grassland.

It was the three-column gun formation proposed by Yang Xian.

On the other side is Beiyuan.

Nai'er Buhua finally saw Zhu Di's troops, how could she hold back.

He waved the scimitar in his hand, commanded the troops behind him to rush forward, and shouted loudly.

"The archers are ready, wait until they are within striking distance, and then release their arrows."

Before he could finish the sentence of shooting arrows, Nai'er Buhua's chest suddenly shook.

The war horse under its crotch suddenly raised its hooves, and at the same time let out a painful neigh!

Immediately afterwards, a sharp pain came from his chest. Nai'er looked down subconsciously and saw a big hole suddenly opened in her chest.

A pile of flesh and blood spurted out from the back!

Nai'er's eyes widened in anger, and he fell off the horse.

A fierce general in Zongheng Grassland died.

And this is just the beginning.

It’s not just Nai’er who doesn’t have flowers.

Almost all the Beiyuan cavalry were experiencing the same thing as him.

On the entire grassland battlefield, the neighing of war horses continued, and the roar of divine rifles also continued!
The 5000 prairie elite riders fell off their horses one after another like fallen crops.

Then he was trampled to pieces by the horse hooves of the cavalry coming from behind.

Therefore, for these Beiyuan cavalry, they were lucky to be killed with one shot.

Five thousand prairie knights fell on the road before they even had time to shoot an arrow.

This scene completely confused Gu Cheng and a thousand other frontier cavalrymen from Beiping City.

What the hell just happened?
Why did the five thousand Northern Yuan Jingqi disappear so quickly?

Gu Chuan looked back at the Hongwu rifles in the hands of the soldiers in the Shenji Battalion. He swallowed subconsciously and asked, "Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, is this a new type of gun?"

Zhu Di nodded and said: "This is a new firearm invented by our Lord Shenhou, called the Hongwu Rifle. It is not comparable to the firecrackers you know."

"Don't forget that there are only 2000 people in the Shenji Camp, but even if you fight 2 people, it's just like playing."

Gu Chuan knew that Zhu Di was not bragging.

He had just witnessed with his own eyes that five thousand Beiyuan Jingqi disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With this kind of firepower, wouldn't fighting 2 people be the same as playing?

And the most terrifying thing is that after a battle, the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion suffered zero casualties.

We must know that this is an ancient war, and it is simply unimaginable that there will be zero casualties when the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered.

Of course, in fact, it is not as easy as Zhu Di said. Fighting 2 people is the same as playing, which is obviously unrealistic.

A large part of the reason why Nai'er was defeated so easily without spending these 5000 cavalry was because they didn't understand the power of the divine rifle.

Many of their soldiers did not die under gunfire, but died under the trampling of horse hooves.

If you know the power and attack range of the Shenwu Rifle.

Although it is also impossible for him to be Zhu Di's opponent, at least he will not lose as exaggeratedly as now.

If the enemy is replaced by 2 people, and there are death squads inside, the Shenji Battalion can win, but there will be damage.

Therefore, Yang Xian just gave Zhu Di and his troops a life-and-death line of 5 people in the Chinese army's tent.

Unless, encounter Wang Baobao's main force.

Otherwise there is no risk at all.

After several rounds of shooting.The smoke cleared.

On the grassland opposite, there was no one alive anymore.

Zhu Di was not satisfied with the fight here and wanted to move on, but was persuaded by Gu Cheng on the side.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Lord Shenhou has ordered you not to go any further," Gu Cheng said.

"Brothers, cut off your heads and return to camp!"

Hearing Yang Xian's name, Zhu Di had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Peking City.

"General Chen, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and General Gu are back."

After hearing the report from his men, Chen Heng immediately stood up and said, "How is it, are there any casualties?"

"General Chen, there were three thousand soldiers when we left, and there were still three thousand soldiers when we came back, with no casualties!" the soldier said loudly.

Lord Shenhou really expected it.

Could it be that he had already guessed that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince would not encounter enemies along their route?
With a trace of doubt, Chen Heng got up and walked towards the direction of the Chinese army camp.

When he reported and entered the camp, he saw Zhu Di bragging to Yang Xian about the war just now, how beautifully he fought, and how vulnerable Beiyuan's so-called elite cavalry was.

Chen Heng was a little confused after hearing this.

Didn’t you say you didn’t encounter any enemies? !Why is there another killing spree?
Chen Heng could only pull Gu Cheng aside and asked: "Lao Gu, what is going on? Have you ever encountered any grassland Tatars?"

Gu Chuan glanced at Chen Heng, stretched out his palm to make a gesture, and said with a smile: "Five thousand."

"We encountered five thousand Beiyuan Jingqi, led by Wang Baobao's most powerful general, Nai'er Buhua."

After hearing the names of Wuqian Prairie Jingqi and Nai'er Buhua, Chen Heng took a breath of cold air.

Nai'er Buhua has fought against him before, and he is indeed worthy of the name of a fierce general.

The five thousand prairie cavalry he led must be the best of the best, but Zhu Di and the others only brought out 3000 troops.

Thinking of this, even though he had now seen Zhu Di and the others back safely, Chen Heng was still secretly sweating for them.

Chen Heng whispered: "It would be great to be able to come back. Thanks to you, Lao Gu. If something happens to His Majesty the Fourth Prince, I will have no choice but to die to apologize to His Majesty."

After listening to Chen Heng's words, Gu Cheng was sure that the other party had misunderstood.

Gu Cheng smiled and said: "Thanks to me, I didn't take any action at all. His Highness the Fourth Prince commanded the whole process. Didn't you just listen to His Highness's words, wipe out all the enemy forces!"

Not a single soldier was killed, and the enemy's five thousand elite cavalry were wiped out, including Wang Baobao's most powerful general? !
my darling!

Chen Heng raised his two big hands and patted his face hard to confirm that he was not dreaming.

Yang Xian had already noticed the situation here and said with a smile: "General Chen, what's going on? Why do you beat yourself up?"

Chen Heng smiled awkwardly. Only then did he remember what Yang Xian had said to him that day. He took a step forward, bowed and said, "Master Shenhou has a wonderful plan. I am so impressed by him."

Expand the king's tent.

When the news of Nai'er Buhua's death reached Wang Baobao's ears, Wang Baobao's expression immediately changed.

His first reaction was that it was impossible.

Similar to Liu Bei's reaction when he heard the news of Guan Yu's death.

You must know that Nai'er Buhua has a total of five thousand fine cavalry, which is the absolute main force in his account.According to reports from spies, the leader of Ming Dynasty this time was not Xu Da, but Yang Xian.

Even if Nai'er loses without flowers, it is absolutely impossible for the whole army to be annihilated.

Nai'er Buhua was wandering outside the city of Beiping, not to attack the city.

Even if the Ming Dynasty sent out large troops, their prairie scouts were not on a diet, so how could they not notice it.

If you want to wipe out 5000 prairie knights, the enemy must mobilize at least ten times more people. What a force of 5 horses. This is an endless prairie. Unless the scouts are blind, they can't see it. .

If it is from a long distance, start to encircle it.

Even more people were dispatched.

Either way, it's unlikely.

But the facts were right in front of him, and Wang Baobao couldn't help but not believe it.

"Your Majesty, General Nai'er Buhua's body is now outside the camp." The Yuan soldiers kneeling on the ground said.

Wang Baobao's eyes were slightly red, he stood up and walked out of the tent.

Then he saw Nai'er Buhua's headless body, with a fist-sized hole in his chest. His identity could only be identified by the clothes he was wearing.

Wang Baobao took a look.

The fatal injury was obviously a penetrating wound to the chest. In addition, there were scars on the body caused by being trampled by horse hooves, and the body was bloody and bloody.

He looked at the corpses of some other cavalrymen, without exception.

"These fatal injuries were all caused by firearms." Wang Baobao said solemnly.

Due to their absolute confidence in fighting on the spot, although the Yuanren army also had firearms, they did not pay much attention to them as much as the Ming Dynasty did.

In Wang Baobao's view, considering the current fire guns, the number of pros and cons depends on the number of bows and arrows.

As for their prairie cavalry, as long as they are proficient in bows and horses, there is no need to give up their original advantages and use fire guns specifically.

Only wise people need to do this.

Wang Baobao looked away and said, "How are the casualties on the Ming army side?"

"Uh." The scout didn't know how to answer.

When we first arrived at the scene, we were shocked to see five thousand headless corpses of our compatriots.

Seeing that he was speechless, Wang Baobao looked back at him.

"Ok?"

Huge pressure came oncoming, and the scout immediately knelt down and replied: "Report to your Majesty, no Ming army corpses were found at the scene."

Are the corpses being carried back?

Wang Baobao frowned, but he still had the energy to do this, which showed that the Ming army would not suffer too many casualties.

Whether it was that all five thousand elite cavalry under his command were wiped out, or that no corpses of the Ming army were found at the scene, these two things illustrate one thing, that is, the enemy is very powerful.But this brings back the original problem. If there are really so many people in the Ming army, it is impossible for Naier not to discover them with his ability.It is impossible to end up with the entire army annihilated.

Could it be that the Ming army was trying to spread suspicion?

In fact, the Ming army also suffered many casualties.

This is a logical inference. Even if five thousand elite cavalry counterattack before death, even if we are outnumbered, we still have to take them away to thousands of people.

But no matter which direction you think about it, you will always come up with the opposite paradox.

There is something strange about this war as a whole.

Wang Baobao felt an indescribable sense of disobedience.

Because he made the same mistake as Chen Heng, that is, he never thought that this war would take place when the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered, and the final result was that the enemy was not damaged at all and our army was completely annihilated.

Of course, it is impossible for a normal person to think in this direction before seeing the power of the Hongwu rifle.

What Wang Baobao doesn't know is that times have changed.

It is no longer the era when they conquer the world with their bows and horses. Under the leadership of Yang Xian, a new era is coming.

An era called firearms.
