vs 1325 Before you know the opportunity, you will die

Hahetai escaped, but he lost most of his 3,000 elites, which means that his tribal cavalry was abolished, and the news spread all over the steppe at once, making the attacking Mongols vigilant!

As if overnight, the Ming cavalry became a force capable of seriously threatening them!

Maybe the horses of the Ming army were not good, but when they fed the horses bean cakes, they overwhelmed the Mongolian horses that had not eaten enough grass.

Their rifled guns took people's lives from a distance of 100 meters, so that the situation suddenly reversed, and the Ming army bullied the Mongols with long-range shots.

In the past, the Mongols relied on bows and arrows and war horses in their hands, humiliating the Ming army to their heart's content, their mobility made the Ming army out of reach, in the predicament of not being able to catch up and fight, and their bows and arrows made the Ming soldiers who did not know how many Ming soldiers hated the battlefield, died silently, poor and uncertain riverside bones, like people in a deep dream!

Good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and the Ming cavalry in turn suppressed the Mongols with long-range shots, making them depressed!

In this battle, as many as 2,500 Mongol cavalry were killed, and less than 100 were killed in the battle!

With complete armor and a first-class military hospital, the Ming army did not suffer many casualties.

Although there was a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, full of hatred for the northern captives, the Ming soldiers did not keep prisoners, while the officers let it go and did not hold the soldiers accountable for their misdeeds.

At first, you don't have to be polite to the Beiyu, beat them up and scared, and then talk about other things.

Upon hearing the news of the great victory, the senior officers congratulated General Gan on his victory, which was gratifying!

The Ming army attacked in two ways, with 100,000 troops on each road, the East Route Army out of Xifengkou, and the West Route Army out of Gubeikou, each with 50,000 troops and 50,000 people and new immigrants, all of whom were firearms.

Gan Hui, the chief general of the East Route Army, He Zhen, Niu Wancai, Bai Wenxuan, and Liu Rukui, the chief general of the West Route Army, Li Guo, and Ma Chongxi, Zhang Neng, Tian Hu, and Yang Yanchang under his command, all of the 50,000 troops had 15,000 cavalry and 35,000 infantry.

With the hard preparation of the Ming army, after so many years of painstaking management, the entire northern front only had 60,000 cavalry, and 30,000 remained in the Sene under the command of Zu Dashou, but Zu Dashou only had 15,000 cavalry in his hands, and the rest of the cavalry was scattered on nine sides.

Most of these cavalry are single-person and single-horse, without the pride of the number of horsemen in the north, do not compare the power with the north, it can be seen that it is not easy for the Central Plains Dynasty to deal with the north!

Listening to the congratulatory voices of the generals, Gan Hui said: "The instructions of the king of the southeast, a large number of muskets in the army have changed the fate of the soldiers, and even changed the fate of the Chinese nation!" ”

All are good!

Gan Hui was highly interested, speaking of the southeast army, the southeast king insisted on taking the road of firearms, when the foundation was created, he sent people to buy 2,000 Western flintlock pistols in Macao, which was a Western merchant who shipped from Europe to Asia to make a fortune, but could not sell it, and was wrapped up by the southeast king, and then made a modification to arm 500 Beigang musketeers......

Many people objected, but the king of the southeast did not listen at all, so today's firearms were reckless and drove the northern captives away!

He sighed: "The past is like smoke, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye......"

Everyone complimented: "We will follow the prince Chitose, and under the command of the general, we will be able to win a big victory!" ”

After listening carefully to the reports of the warring officers, Gan Hui thought: "The northern captives are first proud, and then panicked, how can they not be defeated!" ”

Instructions were given to reduce the rifled composition of the infantry back to 10%, which was originally 20%, then the remaining 10% of rifled guns should no longer be dispersed, and in each unit they should be concentrated with the company as the lowest unit, and when necessary, all of them would be concentrated to form a "sniper wall" of rifled guns, which would be in the hands of the commander, in order to concentrate the maximum firepower and bombard the enemy!

A cavalry force of 3,000 men led by Niu Wancai was dispatched to sweep and inform Li Guo of the Western Route Army in time without reservation.

Now the atmosphere of the Ming army is far better than that of the former Ming Dynasty, everyone is sincerely united, and the generals know that the king of the southeast is a person who can't rub a little sand in his eyes, who dares to come to the former Ming army, will be killed!

The military academy in the Ming army is the greatest confidence of the king of the southeast, he abolished the Ming guard, the military is not hereditary, the implementation of the compulsory military service law, all men of school age have the obligation to serve in the military, soldiers only need to serve for three years, and the officers apply for the military academy, thus producing a steady stream of officers.

Although Qianming said that he looked down on the officers, he was constrained by the officers, because he beheaded them, no one went into battle, and there was no shortage of generals in the southeast king, and the officers who dared not listen to him, he said that if he abolished it, it would be abolished, and it would be a problem.

The grassland is full of Northern Rangers, and small troops can't get out of the grassland at all, so Gan Hui sent troops to take a special trip, and he has a heart!

Li Guo received the report and said to Niu Wancai gratefully: "Appeal to the general, Li Guo is grateful, and he will work with the general to fight for the king of the southeast and complete the task!" ”

He did all the same, and he adjusted the musketeers, which soon came in handy.

I have to say that the big chieftains of the northern captives are cunning, such as the Mongols in the eastern cluster, who only patrol along the route with rangers, waiting for opportunities to find small units of the Ming army to kill, and harass them from afar, and do not come forward to fight, and even the cavalry raids at close range are very rare, so that the rifled guns of the Ming army have a chance to work.

As for the Western Cluster, since the Mongols had always been scattered, some of them slipped away to run relatives, and soon the Mongols in the Western Cluster knew that the leader of the Durbot tribe, Hahetai, had suffered a defeat, and the various tribes became vigilant and carefully sent troops to test and not attack in a big way.

Of course, not all leaders know the opportunity, such as the leader of the Naiman tribe, Bala, which means "tiger" in Mongolian, is a quite capable warrior, who has a three-stone bow, and uses a heavy short-handled saber, and when he chops it off, he cut off the head of the stallion and the horse!

He looked down on those cowardly Ming people at all, when he was not the leader, he strongly advocated taking refuge in the Tatars, that is, he saw so few Tatars beating the Ming Dynasty with a large population, which shows how incompetent the Ming people were! There are no men!

Bala openly declared: "One Mongol can fight three Mingmen!" ”

In his opinion, the Ming people relied on the sharpness of firearms, and once they were killed by the Mongols, they could be slaughtered as chickens!

sent a lot of rangers to reconnoiter the military situation, and finally he found an opportunity.

A group of more than 1,000 Ming infantry, escorting people who don't know who they were, left the main position of the city and marched to the grassland.

The Ming army did not follow other troops to support, which is very bold!

Baladu followed the direction of the Ming army's movements, he was familiar with the terrain, and found an ambush site, which was a hilly area, only grass and no trees, and the undulating hills could hide the Mongols who were preparing to ambush well, and when the Ming army entered the ambush circle, the soldiers were divided into three ways to kill, so that they could not care about each other.

The plan was very successful, and when the Ming army entered the middle of the two hills, Bala led 3,000 Mongol cavalry to suddenly attack.

They rushed to the Ming army under the mountain, trying to kill them without leaving a single piece of armor, but as soon as the attack began, it stopped abruptly.

Barra was so proud that he was still dressed in a bright suit and armor similar to that of the Ming army, which he had captured by killing a Ming officer, which was very different from the cavalry on the left and right.

In such a sunny weather, it is indeed difficult for this glowing gentleman not to be noticed.

One hundred of the two hundred rifled guns of the Ming army were concentrated, forming a sniper wall, and under the guidance of the commander, they aimed at the enemy chieftain, but when Bara charged from the slope of the mountain, there was no cover of the cavalry in front of him, and hundreds of sharp bullets were fired at him.

A very spectacular scene occurred, the bullets actually knocked Barra off his horse, rolling and falling heavily into the grass!
