Chapter 192 Bloody Battle in Shigou Ningxiaping (5)

A rain of arrows from the Mongolian cavalry came, accompanied by screams, and some Ming army musketeers who couldn't dodge were shot by the Mongolian cavalry bows.Although riding a bow was not fatal, a large number of people were injured.This made the gunners of the Ming army even more flustered. They all scrambled to escape behind the shielder, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

When the Mongols rushed to the front of the artillery cart, they didn't rush directly into the formation, but roared and rode their horses across the front of the formation, and scattered to both sides.The Mongolian cavalry who came from behind rushed in one after another, and followed the same pattern, bringing waves of arrow rain.

After a few rounds of cavalry shooting by the Mongols, the Ming army on the left side was a little flustered. At this moment, another wave of Mongolian cavalry rushed in. Many Mongols on horseback were waving their lassoes. When rushing in front of the gun cart, the lasso in their hands was accurately slung onto the cross shaft of the gun cart. When they rode their horses to both sides, some of the gun carts lying in front of the army formation were taken by them. Tore it apart, opening a big gap.

Not only that, the Mongolian cavalry in the next few waves took the opportunity to rush up, and the horse repelling devices behind the artillery cart were also torn apart by them.The Ming army lined up behind the horse rejecting device was directly exposed in front of their eyes.

However, at this time, the Ming army of the Magui tribe also woke up. Not only did the shield players better protect themselves, but the archers behind the shield players also shot arrows at the Mongolian cavalry.Some musketeers who had finished filling their guns also fired at the Mongols together.

There were casualties on both sides.

At this time, a group of hundreds of Mongols who were recharging their energy behind had rushed up from the gap. This group of Mongols was better equipped, and all of them were wearing leather armor. Holding a shield and a sharp machete in one hand.

Seeing this group of Mongols rushing forward, there was a loud crash of cymbals from the headquarters of the Central Army. Immediately, the shieldmen in the Ming army on the left retreated, while the spearmen and stickmen rushed forward. The three-eyed musketeers in the formation also took out He took a short spear from his body and inserted the spearhead into the gun chamber.Originally, their three-eyed guns all had long wooden handles, and when they were fitted with short spears, the final length was like a long spear.

When the Mongols rushed in, the spears of the Ming army stood up one after another. However, due to the previous chaos, the forest of guns was not densely populated. Some Mongolian horses ran into the forest of shining guns and refused to rush forward in fear. The owners of the horses could only Reluctantly flashed by.Part of the Mongolian cavalry rushed in through the gaps in the spear array, and the rest of the Mongolian cavalry followed suit.

At this time, there was chaos in those gaps, and some spearmen of the Ming army fought and stabbed the Mongols on horseback.Some big stickmen also waved their big sticks, rushing to beat the horses of the Mongolian cavalry on the opposite side. There were also some three-eyed musketeers at the back of the queue participating in the battle, and some Ming army shieldmen even threw some javelins from behind.

But there were also some Ming soldiers who couldn't bear the fear in their hearts and fled back in horror. These people also affected a group of Ming soldiers to escape.Although Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao killed some of the fleeing Ming troops on the spot, they still couldn't stop the panic of those Ming troops.

More and more Mongols poured in from the gap, and the two sides fought together. Those Mongolian thousands of people wandering outside the original right army formation, seeing the situation on the left, rushed there one after another, intending to escape Break through the formation of the Ming army over there.

Ma Kongying and Ma Chengzhao, who were defending here, shouted hoarsely for their subordinates to resist, and sent some servants to plug the gap.However, there are still more and more Mongols, and the Ming army's left position is in danger of collapse at any time.

Ma Gui on the high platform of the Chinese Army could clearly see that he was worthy of being an old soldier. At this moment, he showed his composure. Among his more than 1000 cavalry, they remained motionless.

Huang Laifu also kept an eye on the situation over there. If things went wrong, he would send his servants and some idle firecrackers to support.

The battle in the left formation became more and more fierce and bloody, but although Ma Gui ordered his own generals to go to aid, the gap in the army formation was still getting bigger and bigger due to the increasing number of Mongols.The flags of the Ming army over there had already fallen down, and it looked like a mess.

The Mongolian commander Buriged held a scimitar and led his subordinates to slash desperately. The weather was so hot that his face was covered with sweat and blood was all over his body.He didn't know if the blood was his own or the Ming army's. The strong smell of blood made one want to vomit, and even the horses under him were sweating profusely.Seeing his appearance like a mad tiger, the Ming army standing in front of him all ran away in fright.

Finally, Briged felt his eyes light up. It turned out that he had led hundreds of his men to break through the left formation of the Ming army, and in front of them was the central formation of the Ming army.He could clearly see that on the high platform not far ahead, a large flag of the Chinese Army with yellow and hemp characters was flying on the high platform, and there were neatly arranged Chinese army formations on the four sides of the high platform.

The Ming army in front of him scattered and fled in all directions. Before Briged had time to cheer, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He saw hundreds of Ming army firecrackers in heavy armor in front of them, lined up in a dense and orderly queue. The muzzle is facing them.It was Huang Laifu who saw that something was going wrong and urgently supported Ma Gui's four hundred gunners, including one hundred gunners and three hundred bird gunners.

The matchlock on the firecracker was already burning fiercely, and a shadow of death appeared in Briged's heart.

Briged screamed wildly, raised his scimitar, and rushed towards the musketeer on his horse.But this kind of feat was only done by Briged. The Mongolian cavalry who followed behind him, after seeing the situation in front of them, all screamed and fled to the side.This made them huddle even more.

"shooting!"

An officer of Wuzhaibao suddenly pointed the long knife in his hand forward!
"Boom boom boom!"

"Clap clap clap..."

One hundred guns and three hundred bird guns fired at the same time. In the white smoke, each gun mouth showed dazzling flames, and countless scorching iron sand shot out of each gun barrel, all shot at the Mongolian soldiers.

At a distance of more than ten steps, whether it is a gun or a bird gun, it is extremely powerful, and the gunners are still lined up in such a neat and dense formation, and the Mongols are crowded together regardless of whether they are men or horses. Shooting can be said to be ideal.

There was only a scream of horror, and those Mongolian soldiers were turned on their backs. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or horses, many people had huge blood holes on their bodies, especially some Mongolian soldiers who rushed to the front, their bodies were bloody and bloody, which was horrible .

In particular, Buriged, the Mongolian commander who rushed to the front, died the worst. Whether it was his men or horses, there were blood holes all over his body, and he died on the spot.

According to preliminary estimates, this round of firecracker shooting alone killed and injured more than 200 people on the spot.Those who died on the spot were better. Those Mongolian soldiers who survived the injury just lay on the ground, rolling and screaming loudly.

After the four hundred Wuzhaibao firecrackers finished shooting, each of them put their own firecrackers on the ground, drew out their two-handed long knives, and immediately formed a bright knife array.

Seeing the tragic situation of the companions in front, and seeing the Wuzhaibao soldiers waiting in full force, the Mongolian soldiers behind collapsed in an instant, and they fled backwards howling. Horses, just run away.

This caused panic even more. The Mongols in the gap either fled or hesitated.The Mongols who rushed in and out like this huddled together again.

This turning point of the Mongols stunned the Ming army of the Magui tribe, who were still in a panic before, and then they suddenly underwent a 360-degree change, from the previous panic to unstoppable, all screaming, With a weapon in hand, he rushed towards the Mongols desperately.

Such a situation caused the Mongols outside the gap to collapse, and they all ran for their lives in horror.

Huang Laifu and Ma Gui on the high platform of the Chinese army could see the change of the left formation clearly. Huang Laifu laughed loudly and said, "The captives are defeated!"

Ma Gui also nodded again and again, but he had seen clearly the situation in his own army before, if it hadn't been for Huang Laifu's support, it would have been more ominous today.

Hearing what Huang Laifu said at this time, he also nodded.

Huang Laifu said: "Old General Ma, let our army pursue!"

Ma Gui shouted: "Pursuit!"

Soon, the rapid drums beating at the position of the Chinese army, the three hundred servants of Huang Laifu in the inner circle of the Chinese army, and more than 1000 cavalry and servants under Magui, all urged their horses to rush out from the gaps in the infantry formation. .

Seeing such a situation, the Mongolian cavalry outside the army formation were even more defeated for a while, and fled one after another.

※※※

At the position of the Mongolian Central Army two miles away, the leader of the Mongolian Wanhu tribe was fighting, and with some relatives, he had been watching the battle with his eyes out.

This time he dispatched 6000 troops to attack, which can be said to have cost a lot of money.During the previous shelling by the Ming army, although the artillery fire was fierce and many of his own warriors were killed and injured, all of this was within his expectations.

However, the failure of four thousand Mongolian cavalrymen to attack Huang Laifu's defense on the right side made him look extremely ugly. The Wuzhaibao army's strict discipline and sharp firearms made his heart tremble.All kinds of rumors about Huang Laifu in the grassland came to his mind again.

Fortunately, the warriors attacked the left formation smoothly, which made him hopeful that he could defeat the Ming army's position from there.Things seemed to be going well, but suddenly for some unknown reason, my army was defeated.

First of all, the Mongolian defeated soldiers fled from the left side, and then it affected other people. Thousands of grassland warriors all looked terrified and scattered back like a flood. Some warriors even abandoned their horses and ran happily.

This made Dazheng even more furious, and then Dazheng saw the cavalry of the Ming army coming out of the chariot formation one after another, chasing and killing the warriors who killed him recklessly.This made Dazheng even more furious. When had he failed like this?

He was about to send a personal general to lead two thousand soldiers to meet him. Anyway, there were thousands of Mongolian cavalry beside him.He won't just admit defeat like that.

At this moment, he suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing from the north, and then he saw several blood-stained Mongols rushing into his army formation, and one of the Mongols fell off his horse suddenly in front of him. Still struggling, he threw himself on Dazheng's feet and cried loudly.

Dazheng helped him up in panic, and said, "My little Bart, what's wrong with you?"

This Bart is his third son, he has always been doted on by him, but he stayed outside the Great Wall, this is...

An ominous omen came to his mind.

Bart hugged his straightened thigh and cried, "Father, all the warriors in our tribe are dead. Our tribe's livestock, cattle, sheep, women, and children were all looted by the Ming army!"

Dazheng stayed on the spot, his whole body was cold.

On July 20th of the 25th year of Wanli, Dong Yiyuan led the governor Ye Mengxiong's order. Taking advantage of the emptiness behind the Hetao Ministry, he led his troops out of the frontier to plagiarize.
