"Your Highness is right! I ordered the soldiers not to waste the grenades in their hands, and not to throw them without my orders! Cao Xing commanded again.

After saying this, he turned his head to look at the location of the Salha tribe not far away, and said with a smile: "I see how Salha drives these auxiliaries!" ”

"Most of the time it's through persecution. He will never charge the battle with his main force now! Song Xuan said with a smile.

"Then let's see how he persecutes!"

……

……

"Charge again!" Salha looked at the soldier in front of him and commanded loudly.

"General, the grenades of the Ming army are too terrible, especially since they are hiding behind the smoke, we can't see whether they plan to use grenades before we rush into the smoke, and even if we see them planning to use grenades after rushing in, it will be too late." Someone said.

"Don't worry, the Ming army won't have many grenades." Salha had to persuade patiently: "The Ming army was originally a firearms unit, and the soldiers needed to carry projectiles and gunpowder, and it was impossible to carry many grenades to the battlefield at the same time. ”

"Now that our army has surrounded these less than 20,000 Ming troops, as long as we eliminate them, we can deal a heavy blow to the Ming army, and even take the opportunity to defeat the Ming army and win the war, so we must continue to attack the enemy in front of us. Moreover, as long as the Ming army is defeated, the Great Khan will not hesitate to reward you, and you will be able to get many slaves. ”

Seeing that these auxiliaries were still a little hesitant, he said, "Besides, have you forgotten the followers of Allah who died at the hands of the Ming army?" If Timur Khan was defeated and retreated, the Ming army would at least reach the Alashan Pass, if not Samarkand, and everyone would probably be killed once captured by the Ming army! Even if you don't get killed, you will be a slave for the rest of your life, doing the hardest and most tiring work until you die, and you won't have children without a woman! Are you willing to live like this? ”

Contrary to what Song Xuan and Cao Xing expected, Salha would not use the method of coercion to get the auxiliaries into battle. Although Timur defined these people as cannon fodder, he rarely showed that they were cannon fodder, especially in this expedition to the Ming Kingdom, which was a definite pagan country, and the auxiliaries he recruited were all people who believed in the Heavenly Religion, and he had been using the Heavenly Religion to unite them so that they were willing to fight rather than being forced to fight. Of course, Salkha followed Timur's example and tried to persuade them in various ways.

Hearing Salha's words, these people were all moved. The persecution of the Heavenly Sect by the Ming Kingdom was open, they had heard about it for a long time, and they had seen it after this crusade, and they knew that Salha's words were right. So for the sake of himself, he can only fight desperately.

"Allah is great!" They regained their morale and once again charged Cao Xing's troops.

Cao Xing was very puzzled by this, but now was not the time to think about this, he saw Xi Lu howling and launching a charge, and ordered the soldiers to load their ammunition, prepare grenades, spears and sabers also put in the right places, ready to fight Xi Lu at any time.

At the instigation of Salha, Silu launched an attack with high morale. Of course, for the time being, they were still apprehensive about the last time they were killed by a grenade in the smoke, and they did not dare to rush in, and each time they just approached the smoke and fired arrows, they withdrew and then charged again.

At the same time, Timur also ordered the artillery team to launch an artillery bombardment of Cao Xing's department. In the face of the unstoppable cannon, Cao Xing had no choice but to give the order to dodge; Salha took the opportunity to command the cavalry to charge while the Ming army was dodging, even if someone was killed by his own shells.

Cao Xing had to order the soldiers not to dodge and hold their positions. The war has become fierce again.

……

……

"Big brother, what's wrong with you, big brother!" A soldier cried while holding a man in a six-rank official uniform in his arms.

"Big brother can't do it, you put down big brother quickly and prepare to defend against the enemy!" The person who was held in his arms said with difficulty.

"But," of course he knew that what the eldest brother said was right, but this was his eldest brother, and now that he let go, he would never see him again.

"Third brother, let go of the eldest brother and prepare to deal with Xiyu." At this time, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Second brother, I'm ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the second brother: "What are you rubbing!" Not only that, but his second brother also snatched the eldest brother from his arms, carefully put it on a fairly flat ground, and then stuffed the third brother's fire gun into his hand, pulling him to face the Xiyu who was about to rush over.

In this process, the third child was basically numb, and it was not until the command to "fire" came that he reacted, fired all three projectiles of the fire gun in his hand, and shouted at the same time: "You damned Xiyu, I will kill you all!" ”

After the death of the hundred households, the test hundred households who commanded them frowned when they saw this. According to the tactical regulations, you can't fire all three projectiles at once, but thinking of his eldest brother Liu Fa, who had just been killed by Xiyu's bow and arrow, he didn't say anything.

The third man, named Liu Shu, reloaded his ammunition with a fit of rage, and fired all three rounds again after Xilu rushed over again.

But this time he did the right thing. With the artillery bombardment of the Western Prisoners, nearly a hundred steps outward from their formation was the bombardment range of the cannons, and the shells fired by some of the cannons were mixed with smoke and smoke, so that even if they did not fire, they could not see the movements of the Western Cavalry clearly, and could only rely on the vibration from the ground to judge.

But this time Salha took a very despicable approach. When his artillery had just finished bombarding and the smoke had not yet cleared, he had the cavalry dismount and lead the horses forward, and rushed until he was less than fifty paces away from the Ming army's formation before getting on his horse and charging.

After firing one round of projectiles, the ordinary Ming soldiers were still waiting for the opportunity to launch the second round, and they found that Xilu had rushed to the front, and they were suddenly slightly panicked. Fortunately, most of them had been trained for a long time and had been on the battlefield, and the panic only lasted for a moment before they came back to their senses, hurriedly launched the projectile in the three-eyed firearm in their hands, and then picked up the firearm in their hands and rammed it towards the Xiyu who rushed over.

The spear in Siyu's hand also pierced him. In most places, because of the encirclement, the cavalry could not rush in, so they could only fight with the Ming army with bows and arrows and spears, and they had to destroy the Ming army guarding near the enclosure and then climb over. Of course, the Ming army could not let them get their wish and fought back desperately.

It's not that easy. But there are some places that have been opened by the cannons of the Western Prisoners, and even if the gap is not large, it is not so easy to block. The Ming army could only desperately block the cavalry of the Western Prisoners while looking for something to plug the gap.

Dozens of cavalry shouted slogans and rushed towards a gap, while constantly firing arrows at the gap.

"Quick, ten of you raise your spears as a spear array, and stop the Sirtu; Ten of you hurry up and find something that will close the gap, and the rest of you will be ready to fight the West at any time. Liu Jiao, the general banner, commanded loudly.

The man who had been assigned to stop the West Capture stepped forward with a sense of sorrow. Under the command of Xiaoqi, ten people divided into two rows to form a dense formation, just enough to completely block the gap, raised their spears and formed a formation to block the western captives.

Seeing this, the Silu who led the charge ordered the horses to be blindfolded and continue to charge, even if they sacrificed all the horses under their command.

Soon, the horses rushed to the spear formation because they couldn't see clearly in front of them and did not dodge the charge, and the moment the spear pierced into their bodies, they knew that they had been deceived by the rider in the back, but at this time they could no longer turn around, and could only continue to charge forward while screaming under the effect of inertia, so that the spear completely pierced into the body, and then fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Ming army, who had lost the spears in their hands, immediately retreated and hid behind the original second row of spears, and took down the firearms that were originally hanging on their backs and aimed them at the front and fired.

But the West Captives still rushed forward regardless of it, making it extremely difficult to plug the gap.

Cao Xing looked at the soldiers who were struggling to fight with the Xilu and their teeth were about to be crushed, and kept looking in the direction of the Chinese army's camp, looking at the soldiers under Lan Zhen and others who were fighting fiercely with Yesbu and Tieletai, who were blocking the reinforcements, and kept saying: "Why can't you break through the Xiyu!" Why can't you break through the West Capture yet! ”

"Cao Xing!" Ji Ye had to say: "It's only been less than half an hour, they have already made progress, and they will be able to rush over in another half an hour!" Don't be in such a hurry! Besides, it's useless for you to be in a hurry. ”

"Hey!" Cao Xing just sighed and didn't speak. Ji Ye has only been in their army for the past few days, and he doesn't have his feelings for the left and right guards of the government army. He was very distressed every time he died, how could Ji Ye understand.

After Cao Xing sighed, he continued to look at the soldiers in front of him who were resisting the Xiyu, and when he saw where it was more dangerous, he ordered the soldiers from other places to rush over to support, and at the same time occasionally glanced at the direction where the reinforcements were coming.

Suddenly, he heard Song Xuan say: "Cao Xing, General Xu sent another cavalry to charge the battle." ”

"Cavalry is not easy to use!" Cao Xing casually looked back and said at the same time.

But at this moment, the Xilu in front of the newly rushed cavalry actually retreated, causing a huge gap in the middle of the entire Xiyu's blocking line. Cao Xing could almost tell that even the general who led this cavalry was puzzled, but in an instant, he came to his senses and led his subordinates to fill in through the gap and break through the line of the Western Prisoners.

Seeing that their own front was broken, the western captives on both sides wanted to close the gap at first, but the Ming army that kept rushing over protected this precious gap. Seeing this, the Siyu completely broke down and fled backwards.

"That's great!" Seeing this, Cao Xing shouted happily.

But then he was a little puzzled: "What's going on?" Why did the Western Prisoners retreat in front of the cavalry that came after them? ”

However, no one could answer this question, and he reacted and asked, "Which guard is this cavalry?" ”

"Look at the flag, it's Yongming Left Guard and the North Korean Army."

"Why them?"
