Maybe it was because the area of the Mongols who could be shot in the charging state was smaller than when they were wandering, or maybe the Ming army was a little afraid of the Mongolian cavalry in the charging state, in short, only a dozen people were hit this time - basically this can be directly announced killed.

Because if you are shot in this case, even if you are not fatally wounded, you will inevitably fall off your horse, and if you fall off your horse at high speed, it is like jumping out of a speeding motorcycle, and not dying is purely heaven will not accept you, and this kind of record obviously cannot be counted as the opponent's own fall to death, but can only be counted on the head of the musketeer.

This is also the case with many previous kills, and only the cavalry that falls due to hitting the horse is necessary to calculate it separately. However, in view of the habits of the Ming army, only the final head can be "recorded" anyway, so it doesn't matter.

In this wave of attacks, only a dozen or so people were hit by the cavalry itself, but the war horses were shot more than before, and nearly thirty war horses were hit by Wanli type muskets.

The power of this gun is difficult to kill a war horse directly unless it hits the horse's head directly, at least it can struggle for a while before dying, but that doesn't make much sense, because the knight on the horse will still fall off the horse.

However, it should be noted that this kind of uninjured fall from the horse, for the Mongolian cavalry in a combat state, of course, the fall will definitely fall, but it is not necessarily fatal.

Mongolians ride horses all year round, and the danger after falling off the horse is similar to the danger after the Han people break their feet. Like the historical Hannaji, it is still relatively rare to fall off his horse and die while hunting (he should not have died at that time, but the Mongols had limited medical skills, so the rescue was ineffective).

However, in any case, the fact that the Mongols lost about 40 cavalry before they achieved the results of this round of 500 cavalry, which made Xin Ai Huang Taiji, who was watching the battle from a distance, look pale.

Fortunately, the Mongol cavalry was still effective after changing from pinching to losing the red blood, at least the Ming army also entered their range, and it was within the range of armor-piercing arrows.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! The sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out between a few breaths after the gunshot.

When the Mongols were killed and wounded by the Ming army, because they themselves were under the galloping horses, they could hardly hear the voices of their comrades, so the impact on morale was relatively small, and at this time, when the Ming army was baptized by a round of armor-piercing arrows, the situation was much worse.

The musketeers are definitely not heavy on armor, and when they are fired at close range of about forty or fifty meters, the thin cotton armor under the mandarin duck robe obviously has little defensive effect.

The screams of "Ahhh

The Ming soldiers in the first row of bayonet formations were the most nervous, curling up as much as possible while maintaining a half-squat position, hoping to reduce the possibility of being hit.

However, they were not interested in firing arrows at a group of half-crouched targets, but instead aimed at musketeers behind them with muskets and reloading - standing ones were certainly easier to shoot than crouching ones.

After a rain of arrows, the Mongol cavalry separated left and right in an extremely tacit understanding, and went back in a heart-shaped circle.

What they left behind were more than 100 Ming soldiers wounded or killed, of course, overall, due to the characteristics of the arrows, there were still few killed and many wounded.

Zhang Wanbang, who was supervising the battle on this front, was furious, and saw that more than half of the third column of musketeers had finished loading (the first column of bayonet formations, the second column had just let go of a round of guns), and shouted: "Third column, release!" Fuck their ass for the master! ”

Well...... Brother Zhang, you are very good at using words.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army were not interested in pondering the subtlety of the words "major general", so they raised their guns in anger and pulled the trigger on the target they had chosen.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Another round of gunshots.

Although the Mongolian cavalry was fast, it still took a little time to turn the horse's head after all, and it was easy to be beaten by this round of not very neat volleys, and the cavalry and the war horse were about 20 each, which was almost a loss of about 40 people, which was not much different from when they rushed over before.

Seeing this, Zhang Wanbang shouted loudly: "Okay! Well played! Today's victory is won, in addition to those rewards that should be given, Lao Tzu will give you an extra meal, two taels of meat per person! ”

These Ming soldiers may also be heartless, and when they heard the words, their anger suddenly dispersed, and they were overjoyed, only some soldiers from the same township looked sad to find the corpse of their fellow countrymen, or to care about the injured township party.

Zhang Wanbang immediately sank his face and scolded: "Fuck you, what are you looking for, are you looking for death?" The first time you saw the Mongols? They will come back anytime! Give Lao Tzu a fucking back to his place, and then fucking run around, Lao Tzu will chop your dog's leg with a knife! ”

But he didn't just scold the soldiers, as soon as this passage ended, he turned his head and shouted: "Doctor Huo, please bring two doctors over and tell him that I have more than 100 dead and wounded here!" ”

In the Ariake generation, there were military doctors, but the number of military doctors was small relative to the number of soldiers. Among them, in terms of the Beijing battalion, proportionally speaking, about 10,000 soldiers are equipped with only one doctor, and a "regimental battalion" is about one medical officer and two doctors.

On the contrary, the ratio of medical officers in the border army was slightly higher, about 1,500 people were assigned to one doctor, such as the Qi family army, which had a quota of 3,000 people in the early years, was equipped with one medical officer, two medical officers and one veterinarian.

This is probably because there are a lot of vacancies in Beijing, and secondly, there is a hospital in Beijing that can allocate medical forces at any time - the Ming Dynasty Tai Hospital is not only in charge of the imperial medical care, high-ranking civil and military officials can enjoy the "free medical insurance" of the Tai Hospital, and if the army needs it, the emperor will definitely send the Tai Hospital to support.

Seeing Zhang Wanbang's order, the soldiers calmed down a little, and did not disobey his order, so they hurriedly went to their places again.

Zhang Wanbang wiped his sweat, and scolded in his heart: Raised by a bitch, I haven't fought for more than ten years, this group of two stunned people have all wasted their skills, if you don't remind me, if the Mongolians take the wrong medicine and come again, this line must collapse, I don't know what happened to Dad's side?

He turned his head to take a look, and saw that the defense line behind him had basically not changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: It seems that the bet is right, Jinghua's line and Qi Nantang's art of war, it is easy to use or easy to use, we have killed more than 100 people in these two waves, and it is estimated that there are seventy or eighty Tatars dead, but they also killed dozens of war horses...... This is a redemption, I have a million Ming army, and it is also an infantry army against a horse army, and the Tartars will definitely not be able to redeem it.

I have to say that Zhang Wanbang's "Redemption Theory" still makes some sense, because when he was pondering these things, Xin Ai Huang Taiji on the other side was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

What Zhang Wanbang dealt with just now was only a wave of Vultures, but in fact, there were three waves of Vultures that were launched at the same time just now, and the proportion of battle losses was basically the same as Zhang Wanbang's situation here.

In terms of the number of battle losses, the Mongolian cavalry was slightly less than the Ming army, but Xin Ai, as a veteran who had fought a lifetime, in addition to seeing that the "battle of Duizi" was extremely unfavorable to him, he also saw another "extremely unfavorable", that is, the battle losses on the Mongolian side were almost all permanent battle losses, that is, the vast majority of the war deaths accounted for the vast majority, and the Ming army died very few directly, and most of the people were only injured after being shot, and the arrow wounds were ......

Let's put it this way, as long as they are not unlucky people who are shot in the vital position, there is a good chance that the others will survive after being treated, and they will be able to reappear in the combat sequence in three months at most. Don't think that only Western medicine is good at surgery, in fact, Western medicine is good at surgery very late (the church does not allow dissection), but on the contrary, Chinese medicine, in the Warring States period, there were medical books specifically for arrow wounds.

It's a big loss!

It's a big deal!

Xin Ai was so angry that she threw away the horsewhip and said angrily: "Stop losing the blood! The whole army is assembled and ready to charge! ”

originally wanted to rely on cavalry and archery kung fu to suffer less losses, but it turned out that the cavalry and archery that had been tried and tested could not deal with the Ming army on the opposite side that was not in his eyes at all.

Xin Ai is angry, and he now plans to take down this Ming army regardless of casualties!

Hamu said in fear: "Abu, why don't we go around, the guys in the hands of this group of Ming soldiers are very strong, and if they rush into battle, they ......."

"You fool!" Xin Ai was furious and said, "Since the Ming army can concentrate 6,000 people to use this kind of firearm today, then in the coming day, they may become 60,000, or even more!" Think about it, can Tumut fight such a battle with 60,000 Ming troops? What is left of Tumert after the fight? If not 60,000, but 120,000? That's 600,000! ”

"But ......" Hamu lamented weakly in his heart: But if you smash all the remaining men and horses here today, what will happen to Tumut in the future, and what does it have to do with you?

Xin Ai's face was solemn, and he said awe-inspiringly: "I have made up my mind, I must completely annihilate this Ming army today, so that the Ming court will think that this new type of firearm is useless." ”

Hamu was silent, sighed in his heart, and said secretly: Even if it really happens, I'm afraid it won't be useful, this thing must be from Jinghua, and Jinghua is that pragmatic, as long as he is there, even if the Ming army in front of him is wiped out, it is still possible for the Ming court to continue to equip it......

The third brother is right, Ma Fang is not terrible, Qi Jiguang is not terrible, Li Chengliang is not terrible, the most terrible thing is this high pragmatism!

It's a pity that this guy is as timid as a mouse, hiding in Shacheng and refusing to show up, otherwise he will have to be slaughtered even if he fights all the people!

What a pity!

Gao Pragmatic didn't know that he was scolded inexplicably, but his plan had gone relatively smoothly until now, and he must have been able to spit on himself even if he knew that he had been scolded.

However, the real test is just around the corner.

Xin Ai's Mongolian army completed the assembly as quickly as possible, and after counting the number of people, Xin Ai was angry and found that there were hundreds of cavalry missing in front and back of such a few tentative attacks, and what made him even more angry was that the losses of the Ming army on the opposite side were only equal to him.

Shame on you!

The Tumut warriors, who crisscrossed the grassland for tens of thousands of miles, actually fought a one-to-one battle with the Ming army guards today!

Xin Ai had a cold face, slowly pulled out the scimitar at his waist, and shouted with all his might: "Warriors of Tumut, the great Genghis Khan is watching you in the Immortal Heaven!" ”

When all the Mongol cavalry heard "Genghis Khan", they immediately turned solemn, held their heads high, and waited for the command of Xin Ai Huang Taiji.

Xin Ai saw their expressions in his eyes, and said loudly again: "He will look at you and use your martial arts to tell the Ming people that Mongolia is a wolf and the Han people are sheep!" ”

The Mongolian cavalry was full of blood and roared in unison: "Mongolia is a wolf, Han people are sheep!" ”

The scimitar in Xin Ai's hand suddenly pointed forward, and he shouted: "Kill ——! ”

According to Xin Ai's previous orders, several commanders led this group of high-spirited Mongolian cavalry forward, gradually accelerated to the speed of the charge, and slaughtered the seemingly thin bayonet array of the Ming army.

Coincidentally, the breakthrough point they chose was the northern line guarded by Zhang Wanbang.

Zhang Wanbang looked at the rushing Mongolian cavalry and said that it was false not to be afraid, after all, he knew much more "insiders" than these soldiers below.

The letter sent by Gao Pragmatic and the drill code sent by Qi Jiguang have clearly mentioned: The war horse will definitely have an automatic avoidance of the bright bayonet, but the Mongols have a very strong ability to control the horse, if they force a breakthrough with the idea of dying together, they can break through the bayonet formation after paying heavy casualties.

This situation is not unavoidable, and the way to avoid it is actually very simple, that is, first concentrate the artillery bombardment to make the opponent's war horses frightened, and then become sensitive and timid, not controlled by the opponent's cavalry.

But the problem is that Zhang Wanbang and their troops are very urgent this time, and because there are still many mountain roads to go after leaving the customs, they do not carry artillery.

Because Qi Jiguang was far away, he didn't know the specific tasks assigned by Gao Shishi to Zhang Bingzhong, Zhang Wanbang and his son, so he didn't have any guidance for this situation.

Gao pragmatic gave a solution, but he also confessed in the letter that this method was just his speculation, and there was no guarantee whether it was really useful, and he had to discuss it with his father and son.

In fact, Zhang Wanbang didn't have much confidence, he only speculated in view of the habit of the Mongols who had been unwilling to fight hard for many years, and thought that it would not come to the point where the Mongols would choose to die together, so he didn't care about the method given by Gao Pragmatic.

Who would have thought that Gao Pragmatic, this crow's mouth, would actually become a prophecy, Xin Ai really took the wrong medicine, and chose to fight regardless of casualties!

In the face of the surging nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, Zhang Wanbang only felt that his heart was about to jump out, and he didn't know whether he was nervous or excited, so he opened his throat and let out a shocking roar: "The tasks of the first, second, and third horizontal teams remain unchanged, and the fourth horizontal team gives up charging and loading, and prepares for grenade throwing!" ”

Originally, their task was to form three rows of continuous fire with the second and third horizontal teams to reduce the gap between the fire, but in the face of the direct charge of the Mongolian cavalry, theoretically speaking, by the time they could shoot, it was estimated that the Mongols had already killed in front of them.

Therefore, the emergency solution given by Gao Pragmatic in the combat state without the cover of artillery fire is to cancel the rotation firing mission of the fourth platoon and temporarily change it to grenadiers!
