Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 310 Conquering Chahar ([-])
Naturally, Borot has been paying attention to the frontline battle situation, and is also preparing to send reinforcements to support.

However, the 500 people who tested were defeated too quickly, they almost rushed up, fought for a while, and then retreated miserably.

The main reason is that before the real close-range combat, they have withstood two rounds of fire from the Ming army and have already lost more than half of them.

When they rushed to the front, both morale and formation had already fallen, and the dense bayonet formation of the Ming army was not as fragile as imagined.

As a result, after paying a heavy price, he finally rushed to the front, but was caught in a beating.

Being stabbed with bayonets by several times the Ming army and shot with muskets at close range, how could he bear it, and he was naturally defeated quickly.

Seeing that less than two hundred riders fled back in embarrassment, Borot's face was very ugly.

Fifteen hundred cavalry, although the number is not many, is definitely a considerable force. Even if they lose, they will not be defeated so quickly and so badly.

He observed that the casualties of the Ming army may not even be a hundred.Moreover, the Ming army did not even use artillery.

Now, observations have been observed, trials have also been tried, 500 people can't even break through one side of the hollow square on the far side, so how can they break through the seven hollow squares?

Borot's situation was very awkward, and he still couldn't make up his mind whether to fight or not.

If you don't fight, you will lose face.Fighting, there is a feeling of having nowhere to bite.

In the end, Borot still gritted his teeth, and directly dispatched the main force in his hands, still targeting the hollow phalanx on the far right of the Ming army.

Therefore, this time the offensive team was not 1, but nearly [-].

He observed that a hollow phalanx of the Ming army was only about [-] people, and he did not believe that his own cavalry could not break through an infantry phalanx.

Borot took the front and the right side as the two main attack directions, which were the front and right sides of the rightmost phalanx of the Ming army, so that he did not have to worry about being flanked or outflanked by other phalanxes.

Abnai naturally knew the result of the battle just now, and it didn't surprise him too much.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't speak again. Although he knew that Tangning's hollow phalanx was very powerful, he had never directly directed a confrontation with this hollow phalanx.

Since he refused to surrender to Daming, he had to face this hollow phalanx.

Borot used roughly the same cavalry to attack the hollow phalanx of the Ming army. No matter what the result was, it could give him an important reference.

If the battle is lost, the battle is undoubtedly lost.

Because in terms of military strength, he couldn't compare with Daming at all.

If they win, there is still some hope, so Abnai can only continue to observe the battle situation with apprehension.

Borot personally led nearly [-] cavalrymen to advance towards the hollow phalanx of the Ming army that attacked just now, and then slowly accelerated.

At a distance of about two and a half miles, the artillery of the Ming army finally started.

"Boom boom boom..." More than fifty red cannons fired at the same time, and solid shells fell on the rumbling cavalry.

The cavalry or war horses that were directly hit were smashed into pulp on the spot.

And even if it was not hit, the solid shells were like extremely fast bowling balls, plowing a long ravine on the ground and continuing to move forward.

Wherever he passed, he bumped into the horse's hoof, which also knocked people on their backs.

The moment the shell hits the ground, it will also set off a large amount of mud and rocks, which will impact on a person or a horse, causing varying degrees of damage.

When the Mongolian army rushed to a distance of about one and a half miles, the Ming army replaced it with grape bullets.

When it rushed to a distance of about [-] feet, more than [-] captive cannons loaded with cannonballs also joined the shelling, and pieces of the Mongolian army fell down screaming. They had never seen such a violent shelling.

While Borot's heart was shocked, he seemed to be bleeding, but he had paid such a high price to rush here, and the Ming army was right in front of him, so how could he be willing to retreat.

The flag of the Chinese army continued to rush forward, and the main force divided into two groups and rushed towards the front and side respectively.

"Kill..." Meng Jun shouted at the top of his voice. Although it sounded murderous, it was actually more to cheer himself up.

Seeing that the Mongolian army approached to a distance of about [-] feet, the commander of the Ming army shouted loudly: "First team, get ready."

Swish, swish, three rows of soldiers neatly raised their muskets, densely packed black muzzles, and bayonets glowing with cold light.

Looking at this scene, many Mongolian soldiers who faced this kind of scene for the first time felt chills involuntarily, but now there is no way to stop.

Finally, they rushed to within forty feet, followed by an order: "Fire..."

The sound of the horn immediately confirmed the order.

"Bang..." A wisp of black smoke rose from each gun muzzle, and the smoke was suddenly lingering.

"Ah..." The soldier screamed.

"Xiao'er..." the horse neighed.

One by one, the Mongolian cavalrymen fell off their horses like dumplings, but the horses fell to the ground in various postures as if they had been in a traffic accident.

The Mongolian soldiers who were in the middle seemed to suddenly see the empty space in front of them, and a large group of people disappeared at once. This terrifying scene made many people tremble in their hearts, and even almost fell off their horses.

And such a scene happened again in the Mongolian army attacking from the side.

Having already had the experience of repelling the enemy the previous time, and seeing such a considerable number of casualties again, the confidence of the soldiers of the Ming army also improved a little automatically, and they were not so nervous about reloading bullets.

While the enemy rushed to the front, they reloaded the bullets.

Swish, swish, muskets with dangling bayonets were raised again, and some Mongolian soldiers rushing forward almost instinctively reined in, as if this could save their lives.

But obviously, this was futile. Before the soldiers of the Ming army opened fire, their sudden action caught the cavalry behind them unexpectedly. The galloping horses couldn't dodge it, and they chased each other back and forth, causing chaos.

And at this moment, the muskets of the Ming army rang out.

bang bang bang...

Another tragic scene was staged, the people in front turned their backs on their backs, and those behind couldn't avoid the bodies of soldiers and horses that fell in front, and they also fell over.

Those who escaped by chance, their speed was also greatly affected, and the charge of the horse was greatly weakened.

As for the formation, there was no formation at all. The commander shouted loudly and couldn't gather the team in the first place. Many soldiers' immediate commanders were even dead.

There was no way, many soldiers could only fight on their own, some hesitated to move forward, some shouted and galloped towards the Ming army, and the two sides fell into a melee.

But no matter what, although the strength of the two sides is basically one-to-one, the hollow square formation of the Ming army is facing four directions.

The Mongolian army only launched attacks in two directions, so in these two directions, the strength of the Mongolian army was basically twice that of the Ming army.

Although they paid a high price, they did not suffer in terms of strength, which is one of the main reasons why the Mongolian army did not collapse immediately.
