At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was able to defeat the powerful Mongolian cavalry and unify the whole country and establish the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, in which firearms played an important role. Later, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, set up a Shenji battalion with all firearms, and conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty six times, beating the Mongolian cavalry to lose their armor, and finally the Northern Yuan regime was completely destroyed.

When the Ming army faced the Mongol cavalry, they generally used pikemen and shieldmen to cover in front to block the Mongol cavalry that came and went, followed by musketeers and artillery, then their own cavalry, and finally the infantry.

After the battle began, the Mongol cavalry was first attacked head-on with muskets and artillery, trying to kill and wound the opponent's living forces, and breaking up the opponent's charging formation, and then the musketeers retreated to the two wings, and their own cavalry immediately fought and slashed against the Mongol cavalry, and the infantry followed. After the last photo, the Mongol cavalry was either beheaded or turned around and fled.

However, how can the combat effectiveness of Gui Dewei be compared with the elite soldiers of a hundred battles in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no pikemen cover in front of the firecrackers, so that the firecrackers are completely exposed in front of the enemy cavalry.

In addition, the firecrackers were usually negligent in training, and the speed and consistency of the firecrackers were very problematic, so they only hit two rows of firearms, and the horse thieves had already killed the front, and the firecrackers panicked on the spot, shouted and turned around and ran.

But how can two legs outrun four legs, those firecrackers were immediately slaughtered by the horse thieves who caught up with them, and the worst thing was that the firecrackers also blocked their own cavalry, and the hundreds of cavalry who returned to the German guard were afraid of hurting their own people and could not rush to kill.

As a result, nearly 200 horse thieves led by Zhao Zhi quickly entered the formation of the Ming army like a sharp knife cutting tofu, which was simply a one-sided massacre, and the Ming army was suddenly in chaos.

Returning to the command of Dewei made Huang Qi frightened and angry, riding on the horse and shouting hoarsely, but unfortunately the horse neighing did not work at all. Meng Lun, the leader of the horse thieves, was overjoyed when he saw this, and commanded the thieves to launch a counterattack, and the situation took a sharp turn for a while.

Xu Jin, who was watching the battle on the gentle slope, couldn't help but want to scold, what kind of bad battle did this Nima fight, the regular army of the first guard was beaten like this by the same number of rabble, what a fucking fuck, at least Huang Qi's command made the level of the leader very problematic.

At this time, the horse thieves led by Zhao Zhi completely penetrated the camp of Gui Dewei after paying the price of more than a dozen lives, and killed hundreds of Ming troops.

Zhao Zhi was covered in blood, his eyes fell on the Xuanhuang Regiment Dragon Flag erected high on the gentle slope, and suddenly grinned: "Brothers, have you seen that dragon flag, Xu Jin's dog Qincha is estimated to be under the banner, capture the thief first capture the king, kill Qincha, we will win this battle, and rush over with Lao Tzu!" ”

Those horse thieves suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, followed behind Empress Zhao and raised their horses, and killed towards the Xuanhuang Regiment Dragon Banner on the gentle slope, and the Jinyi guards guarding around Xu Jin suddenly became agitated.

Although Xu Jin was still calm on the surface, his heart couldn't help but rise, and he quickly untied the fire gun tucked in his waist.

In the blink of an eye, the horse thieves led by Zhao Zhi rushed to the bottom of the gentle slope with murderous energy, one by one, covered in blood, and let out all kinds of strange screams with hideous expressions, the appearance was quite scary, and the group of brocade guards were in a commotion even more.

Huang Qi, commanded by Dewei, saw the horse thief killing the Qin Cha Dragon Banner, he couldn't help but be frightened, if Qin Cha died under the horse thief's knife, he was afraid that he would have to apologize for his own crimes, and immediately led dozens of soldiers to gallop frantically.

Seeing that the horse thief had rushed to the bottom of the gentle slope, and the distance was less than fifty meters, Xu Jin calmly shouted: "Jin Baihu, kill!" ”

Three hundred brocade guards, under the leadership of Jin Baihu, rushed down to kill the horse thieves.

With a loud bang, the two torrents met in the middle of the gentle slope, and instantly splashed the sky with blood, screams, horse whistling, and sword collisions.

Don't look at Jinyiwei's usual majesty, he is very good at arresting and interrogating prisoners, but when it comes to the battlefield, both courage and combat power are far inferior to those murderous bandits, so although the number is superior, it is still gradually falling behind.

Xu Jin frowned at his sword, and decisively ordered a hundred brocade guards around him to kill down from the left flank to support, so that the fierce horse bandits were finally defeated.

At this time, Huang Qi was also killed with dozens of personal soldiers under the command of Dewei, so nearly 500 people surrounded Zhao Zhi and other 200 horse thieves, and finally gradually gained the upper hand.

Xu Jin glanced at Qi Jingtong, who was eager to try beside him, nodded and said, "Deputy Inspector Qi, you bring another fifty people to support!" ”

Xu Jin naturally saw that these two hundred horse thieves were the main force of the enemy's army, so he planned to concentrate on solving them as soon as possible.

Qi Jingtong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately rode his horse and led fifty brocade guards to kill from the right side, only to see him take the lead, with a spear in his hand like a dragon, and as soon as he made contact, he picked a horse thief under the horse, and he was extremely brave.

The Ming army already had the upper hand, and with Qi Jingtong, a fierce general, leading fifty people to kill, the advantage was even more obvious, and there were constantly horse thieves being cut down under the horse, of course, Jinyiwei also paid a great price.

Xu Jin saw that this side had the upper hand, and it was only a matter of time before the two hundred horse thieves were annihilated, so he turned his attention to the main battlefield in the distance. I saw that thousands of Ming troops were already fighting with the thieves, sticking to each other, there was no formation at all, you have me, you have you, three or five in groups, or one-on-one fighting, chaotic into a pot of porridge, a good frontal battle into a bad battle, it is really speechless.

"Protect your lordship!" The chief Sima Yuan of the Jinyi guard suddenly shouted vigilantly, and it turned out that at this time, several horse thieves broke through the encirclement and rushed up towards the top of the slope.

Xu Jin was very calm, because at this time, he was guarded by Sima Yuan and other fifty brocade guards, so he was naturally not afraid of these horse thieves who slipped through the net.

"Kill them!" Xu Jin calmly commanded.

"Order!" Sima Yuan led twenty brocade guards in a fan-shaped shape and outflanked the horse thieves.

There were only five horse thieves who broke through, and one of them was Zhao Zhi, one of the bandit leaders, who was holding a Pu knife weighing more than ten catties, and took the lead.

"Kill!" Sima Yuan took advantage of his condescending superiority to embroider the spring knife and slashed at Zhao Zhi, who grinned and raised the Pu knife to greet him.

The two horses ran in opposite directions, causing a considerable relative momentum, only to hear a proper sound, the two horses staggered, and the embroidered spring knife in Sima Yuan's hand was cut and twisted on the spot, and even people were almost shocked off the horse.

"Phew, this soft noodle knife is also worthy of being chopped against Lao Tzu?" Zhao Zhi laughed disdainfully, and rode his horse to continue to rush towards Xu Jin, who was wearing an official robe and was very recognizable.

"Protect your lordship!" Xu Jin's remaining brocade guards hurriedly caught up.

Dangdangdang......

Zhao knew that this person was extremely brave, and the Pu knife in his hand swept straight away, and the brocade guards not only did not stop him, but also were slashed and killed several people, Xu Jin saw this and couldn't stop his eyelids from jumping.

Sima Yuan was so frightened that he turned the horse's head and hurriedly killed back, but unfortunately he was still a little slower, Zhao Zhi easily broke the last line of defense of Jinyi, and raised his knife with a cruel smile to pounce on Xu Jin.

At this time, there were only two cows and two flag soldiers left next to Xu Jin, and the war horse he stepped on seemed to also feel the murderous aura of the bandit leader Zhao Zhi, and shook his head uneasily.

"Haha, dog officer, take your life!" Zhao Zhi was so excited at the moment that it seemed as if every capillary was burning.

"Get out!" Erniu roared and rushed out, the iron rod in his hand smashed towards Zhao Zhi, the latter's face flashed a trace of disdain, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse swooped forward, but Erniu missed, a stick in the air, lost balance on the spot and fell from the horse.

Zhao Zhi laughed, at this time he was less than ten meters away from Xu Jin, and the latter was riding motionless on horseback with a pale face, probably scared to pee!

However, Zhao Zhi soon realized that something was wrong, because by this time he had already seen that Xu Jin's hand hidden behind the horse's neck was holding a fire hammer, and the lead was about to burn out.

"Not good!" Zhao Zhi's heart was terrified, and he hurriedly pulled the reins and ran away, but unfortunately it was still too late, only a loud bang was heard, Zhao Short felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder, and the blood poured and stained his clothes red, and he was shot.

"I'll grass your uncle!" Zhao Zhi scolded loudly, turned the horse's head in pain, rode the horse with only his legs, raised the Pu knife with one hand and continued to kill Xu Jin.

Xu Jin's heart was terrified, it was obviously too late to change the charge at this time, so he hurriedly threw away the firecracker, picked up the victory hook and wanted to defend himself.

At this critical moment, when he saw a war horse slamming into him obliquely like the wind, the knight immediately stabbed out with a shot, which was as fast as thunder, and Zhao Zhi disappeared on the horse's back with a scream.

Xu Jin looked at it, and then saw that Qi Jingtong was galloping forward, and the gun was clearly carrying a person, and he rushed out more than ten meters before stopping, and the corpse he was carrying was also thrown out because of inertia.

The Jinwei who were riding the horse back to rescue them were all relieved when they saw this, and Xu Jin only felt that his back was wet with cold sweat.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Qi Jingtong turned the horse's head and came to Xu Jin's side, and the spear was still stained with blood.

Xu Jin shook his head with apprehension and said, "It's okay, this horse thief is fierce." ”

Qi Jingtong nodded and said: "My subordinates heard other thieves call this person the second master, and it is estimated that it is Zhao Zhi, the head of the thief." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be overjoyed, he didn't expect it to be a big fish!

Xu Jin's distress was only a small episode of the entire battlefield, and the fierce battle was still going on at this time.

However, due to the death of the second master, Zhao Zhi, it obviously dealt a heavy blow to the morale of those horse thieves, and when only a few dozen people remained, those horse thieves finally collapsed and fled in all directions. And on the main battlefield, Gui Dewei gradually gained the upper hand, after all, they were trained regular troops.

When hundreds of brocade clothes joined the main battlefield, the thieves finally dispersed, surrendered, and fled. Huang Qi obviously wanted to make up for his mistakes, so he ordered the troops to bite the tail and chase after him, and he chased for more than ten miles before stopping, killing thousands of thieves, but unfortunately the bandit leader Meng Lun escaped.
