Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 106: Xianzhen Camp strangles the Turpan Khanate!
The soldiers of the five camps were divided into teams of five, and they fought together in teams to resist the attack of the cavalry.

They were like rocks sticking out of the water in a rapid stream, constantly slowing down the speed of the enemy cavalry's charge.

Buy time for the evacuation of the Shenjiying soldiers behind.

At the same time, it is also creating a perfect opportunity for the upcoming Three Thousand Camps and Xianzhen Camp to enter and charge!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The saber hit the rattan shield, making a dull sound.

The soldiers from the five fifth-army camps stood together and raised their shields to the sky at the same time, leaving almost no blind spots in defense.

At the same time, long spears would extend from under the shields from time to time and stab the Turpan Khanate cavalry on horseback, knocking them off their horses.

More than 50,000 soldiers from the five military camps were divided into more than 10,000 small groups and densely distributed on the battlefield.

Soon the cavalry of the Turpan Khanate were caught in a tough battle.

Their momentum came to a complete halt, and these new recruits caused some casualties to the Ming army during the first wave of attack.

The subsequent damage to the Ming Dynasty was minimal.

Just when their cavalry had stopped charging, 60,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty were rushing towards them.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Three Thousand Camps and the Xianzhen Camp all shouted and fought like a tsunami!
Rushing in the front were 30,000 cavalrymen from 3,000 battalions.

They came with great momentum, wrapped in the cold wind, with their swords raised high.

The three thousand cavalrymen were dressed in uniform Ming military uniforms, wearing sophisticated armor and white helmets. They rode Mongolian horses traded from other khanates and charged to the front fearlessly!

They were like a sharp blade, killing fiercely from the side of the enemy camp!
The 30,000 cavalrymen in black armor and black horses from the Xianzhen Camp were like an ink tide, engulfing all the enemy troops that came into contact with them.

The biggest difference between the Three Thousand Camp and the Xianzhen Camp is that the Three Thousand Camp is light cavalry, while the Xianzhen Camp is heavy cavalry.

The horses of the Three Thousand Battalion had no armor, and the armor they had was of the lightest and most convenient type.

The advantages of light cavalry are low training costs and high mobility.

The cavalry of the Xianzhen Camp were not only fully armored, but their horses were also heavily armored.

Although this kind of heavy cavalry is not as mobile as the light cavalry, if a hand-to-hand combat occurs on the battlefield, it will be a one-sided massacre of the light cavalry by the heavy cavalry!

These new recruits of the Turpan Khanate were not good at fighting and did not have any armor on them.

Even the charge that was organized with great difficulty was blocked by the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp.

Now the waist of the army was attacked by the Three Thousand Camp and the Xianzhen Camp.

In an instant, the Turpan Khanate cavalry suffered heavy casualties!
"Ahhhhh!!!"

"My hand! My hand is gone!"

"My legs hurt! My legs!"

"No! No! No! Don't do that!"

"..."

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate fell in large numbers.

The front battlefield was in chaos. People on the battlefield could not even tell the directions of east, south, west and north, except for being able to tell who was the enemy and who was the friendly forces.

Xu Chang, who was standing in the center of the army, was clearly in control of the situation on the field through the reports from the scouts on the high poles.

Then, orders were issued quickly based on changes on the battlefield.

"The three thousand battalions will continue to charge forward and cut off the enemy's formation."

"Then the 3,000th Battalion will turn right and cooperate with the 5th Army Battalion to surround and annihilate the first half of the enemy!"

"The Xianzhen Camp follows closely behind the Sanqian Camp, turn left and eliminate the second half of the enemy!"

Xu Chang's orders were accurately conveyed to the Ming army on the battlefield through flags.

Every soldier on the battlefield believed in and obeyed Xu Chang's orders unconditionally.

The Three Thousand Camp moved to the right, and the Trap Camp moved to the left, beginning to divide the battlefield into two parts.

As the Three Thousand Camp and the Xianzhen Camp were fully engaged in the battle, the cavalry of the Turpan Khanate began to suffer large-scale casualties.

The situation on the entire battlefield was completely one-sided in favor of the Ming army.

When 60,000 cavalry joined the battlefield, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

The Turpan Khanate's 30,000-strong vanguard army suffered a casualty rate of over 20 percent after a round of attacks from the Three Thousand Camps and the Xianzhen Camp.

Thousands of new recruits from the Turpan Khanate fell, and the remaining recruits were so frightened that they dared not stay on the battlefield.

A large number of new recruits of the Turpan Khanate began to collapse and flee.

They had no military supervisors, so they escaped without any pressure.

A large number of deserters from the Turpan Khanate fled the battlefield, resulting in a rout on the front line!
Man Suer, who was sitting in the rear, thought that he would fail, but he never thought that he would fail so quickly.

"hateful!"

Mansuer wanted to go to the battlefield to fight personally, but dozens of his personal soldiers stopped him tightly.

"Hong Taiji, don't be impulsive and take risks. General Yalan and the Khan are still in the rear!"

"Hong Taiji, this vanguard army is the vanguard that consumes the physical strength and formation of the Ming army."

"The Ming army's formation is now in disarray and the goal has been achieved. Don't act rashly!"

Mansuer's face was gloomy, he clenched his teeth and then gave the order.

"Gather the remaining troops and wait for General Yalan to arrive, then follow General Yalan to launch a second charge!"

"Hoo! Hong Taiji!"

Several messengers rode their horses and whipped their whips, heading towards the fleeing remnants.

On the front battlefield, the Ming army was still wiping out the remaining enemy forces, and there was wailing everywhere on the battlefield.

"Ahhhhh!!" "Oh my god! I want to go home, I want to go home!"

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Woo woo woo, don't come over here!"

"..."

The new recruits of the Turpan Khanate let out heart-wrenching howls as they waited to be killed.

With their formation cut off and their own soldiers fleeing en masse, they no longer had much ability to resist.

The Ming army slaughtered the remaining troops one-sidedly, and the battlefield was a sea of ​​blood and corpses!
On the other side, Mansuer's messengers had gathered most of the deserters.

Under the command of Mansuer's messenger, these deserters managed to calm down and line up again.

But its momentum is completely different from before.

From the previous high morale to the current widespread misery.

And at this moment, the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves came again from the distance.

The soldiers around Mansuer pointed into the distance and shouted in surprise.

"Hong Taiji, look! It's General Yalan!"

"Great! It's General Yalan! It's really General Yalan!"

"Yalan Da is coming! Yalan Da is coming!"

"..."

The people of the Turpan Khanate cheered. Yalan had followed Yunus Khan in his campaigns since the time of Yunus Khan and had made great military achievements.

As the first general of the Turpan Khanate, Yalan holds a lofty status in the hearts of the Turpan Khanate.

When the defeated army was about to see Yalan leading his troops approaching, how could the people of the Turpan Khanate not be excited and cheer?

Man Suer looked intently and saw, indeed, a large number of galloping cavalry appeared in the distance.

And in front of the army was Yalan herself!
At this moment, 50,000 cavalrymen of the Turpan Khanate led by Yalan finally arrived at the battlefield!

Among these 50,000 cavalry, there are 10,000 elite soldiers, whose combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the previous 30,000 vanguard troops!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The 50,000 cavalrymen charged forward like a torrent, rushing towards the Ming army.

Xu Chang had a blank expression on his face and decisively ordered: "Entrapment Camp, the 3,000-man battalion will withdraw from the battlefield to the left, and then charge back into the battlefield after regaining momentum!"

"Shenji Battalion, push forward!"

"Fifth Army Camp, shoot!"

"Yes!"

The flag bearer received the order and immediately waved the flag with torches.

The Three Thousand Camp and the Xianzhen Camp retreated immediately and left the front battlefield from the left.

The barrels of the muskets in the hands of the Shenji Battalion, which had just retreated, had cooled down and were refilled with gunpowder.

The main reason why the musket could not shine on the frontal battlefield was that due to technological issues, the barrel of the musket could not be used multiple times in a short period of time.

After firing four or five times in succession, the barrel of the musket will heat up rapidly. If it continues to fire, it may explode at any time.

Therefore, after firing a few rounds, the Shenji Battalion had to retreat to the rear and wait for the temperature of the gun barrel to cool down before they could fire again.

After receiving the order, the Shenji Camp immediately stepped forward again and stood with the soldiers of the Fifth Army Camp.

They raised their guns in unison and aimed at the Turpan Khanate cavalry led by Yalan.

But at this moment, Yalan's troops were still too far away and out of the effective killing range of the Shenji Battalion, so the Shenji Battalion did not open fire.

Instead, the soldiers from the fifth military camp began to draw their bows and shoot arrows!
"put!"

Following the commander's order, thousands of arrows were fired in the Ming army camp!

The Ming army did not use simple arrows, but rockets filled with gunpowder, collectively known as Shenji Arrows.

These magical arrows are powerful, have a long range, and can explode.

The only drawback is that this type of arrow has poor accuracy and often misses the target.

But in a battlefield like this with thousands of troops charging at the same time, it doesn't matter whether you can shoot accurately or not.

The Ming army's rockets ignited sparks in the air and then rushed straight towards the army of the Turpan Khanate.

In addition to the arrowheads that can injure people, these arrows are also loaded with gunpowder, which can injure people after exploding, and can also scare the horses under them.

As expected, after a round of rockets were fired, they immediately caused heavy casualties to the cavalry of the Turpan Khanate.

Thousands of cavalrymen fell off their horses and immediately lost their combat effectiveness.

Among these people, only a very small number were killed directly by arrows.

More people were thrown away by the frightened horses.

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate, which had already started charging, was temporarily blocked and the army formation fell into chaos.

But this army was led by Ya Lan himself, and it included 10,000 elite soldiers, so they were very experienced when facing these problems.

Yalan immediately ordered: "Spread the formation and keep charging!"

"Everyone, shoot the arrows!"

"call!"

Under Yalan's command, the Turpan Khanate cavalry loosened its originally compact formation.

At the same time, everyone took off the ox horn bows behind them.

These ox horn bows are all above eight-dou bows and are very powerful.

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate bent their bows and shot arrows to retaliate against the Ming army.

Dense arrows were shot at the Ming army. Even with the rattan armor to block them, the Ming army still suffered casualties!

　Correction! Yesenbuhua is the younger brother of Yunus Khan. After Yunus Khan unified the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, he established his capital in Aksu City. The history of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is too complicated. I got confused. I wrote it wrong when introducing it in the first two chapters. Now I have corrected it. And by the way, I ask for monthly tickets! The monthly tickets are really pitiful...
