Wang Zhicheng, who came out of the front, had two cavalry commanders in his hands, with a total of more than 700 men and horses, and they carefully explored the area ahead with the general flag as a unit, and found thousands of Tartars coming from the foot of the mountain twenty miles away.

The scout encounter began immediately, because the Ming army was careful and was to probe in the general flag, the Tartar scouts suffered the loss of equipment and the gap in numbers, and had to flee one after another when they were killed several horses in a row.

In order not to startle the snake, the commander Chen Song, who commanded the most forward, did not concentrate his men and horses to prepare to rush into battle, but took cover alternately when he saw that it was good, and retreated while fighting, and Wang Zhicheng, who was notified, ordered Ma Fulin to simply form a formation on the spot to cover Chen Song's retreat.

Chen Song and Ma Fulin are the first batch of Huijiazi who took the initiative to join Huang Han as a family, they and Zhao Kun and Wang Zhanpeng are all from the same village, and now they are military generals from the third grade, it is obvious that they are not as good as Zhao Kun and Wang Zhanpeng.

Zhao Kun is now a second-rank general, and Wang Zhanpeng is a second-rank general, and Wang Zhanpeng is a greater-dignified official because of his contribution to capturing Zhuoerbi, and now he has the rank of deputy general from the first rank.

Although Wang Zhicheng, the general manager of the actual award, followed Huang Han later than Chen Song and Ma Fulin, the number of meritorious service beheadings was much higher than that of them, and now he has the rank of general from the second rank, and is the direct boss of Chen Song and Ma Fulin.

Wang Zhicheng knew the power of our artillery, and he also knew that the Tartars had a lot of men and horses, and the two general cavalry led by himself had no chance of winning against the Tartars several times larger.

The "Red Banner Army" never honors brainless individual heroism, and even if Wang Zhicheng was able to lead two Tartars who had attacked and killed the general cavalry, he had no success.

Even the investigation and handling of the three-level demotion and dismissal is light, and the casualties under his command are too large, and it is possible that the main will be beheaded.

The established plan was to make full use of the artillery brought in by painstaking labor to inflict a large number of casualties on the Tartars, and Wang Zhicheng of course resolutely carried it out.

The Tartars originally planned an ambush, but who knew that the Ming army was cautious, and the cavalry probed and released thirty miles, and the possibility of such an arrangement being ambushed was basically ruled out.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Ming army was small, the more than 5,000 Tartars who came together mustered up the courage to pursue, at this time, only half of the men and horses of the first battalion of the Western Expedition crossed the mountain beam, and the artillery commander where Sun Yuanhua was located had just arrived at the foot of the mountain and was assembling artillery.

Huang Han also came down the mountain not long ago, and at this time he was checking the equipment he was carrying.

Wang Zhicheng sent scouts to report that the enemy had found out, and estimated that more than 5,000 Tartar cavalry were coming to the assembly place of our army, and he would lead the two general cavalry under his command to attack the Tartar front in turn, so as to buy a moment or two for the army.

And such a good thing? Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed, he had already learned the performance of the one-pound Furlong cannon and led his command to live ammunition exercises several times, knowing that it was a disaster for the cavalry to be covered by scattered bullets.

Sun Yuanhua has always been worried that he will not be able to catch up with the Tartar with the cannon, and now it seems that the Tartar is equipped to hit the muzzle.

Huang Han gave an order, all the men and horses who had already descended the mountain formed a formation within a moment, and the cavalry that slowed down the speed of the Tartar movement returned to the array after completing the task to protect the two wings, and the artillery fire must be fired at that time.

A moment was enough, for the wheelbarrows that had arrived first had already assembled as many as a hundred, and by this time the spears had been inserted into the array, and the heads of the spears pointed diagonally to the north where a large stream of tartars was about to appear.

Sun Yuanhua's general flags moved quickly, and they soon appeared in the reserved position of the wheelbarrow array, and there were always three hundred and six general flags and thirty furlong machines, and at this time, the dark muzzles were aimed at the open land in the north.

The artillery is adjusting the aim, and the loader is loading the guns, even if the eighteen guns are not all loaded when the guns are fired, it doesn't matter, because you can still reload while firing.

The cavalry, which had been bloodied, continued to rush back to the formation, many of them still with feathered arrows stuck in their bodies, but the morale of the people was high.

They found that although the Tartars were quite numerous, their combat effectiveness was not satisfactory, and after the Tartars were shot by the firearms and light cavalry, they were then killed by the cold-weapon cavalry.

There were no Tartars rushing up at all with the intention of entanglement with the charging Ming cavalry, so the two Ming cavalry were able to calmly break away after a small bargain.

Wang Zhicheng was worried that there were too many Tartars, and the hot-weapon cavalry tactic of shooting a row of guns was originally to retreat immediately after emptying the self-generated guns and mini guns in his hands, and he was not too worried, but worried that the cold-weapon cavalry and the Tartars might not be able to withdraw after being short-handed.

Therefore, he personally led Ma Fulin's cavalry to attack, but fortunately, the Tartar striker lost one or two hundred people and was beaten, but he did not dare to pursue and stop waiting for the main force, Wang Zhicheng was able to lead the men and horses to retreat.

Half of the regrouped cold-armed cavalry could not shoot arrows, and only when the Tartars were killed and wounded by artillery fire, spontaneous guns, and mini guns could they rush forward to chop melons and vegetables.

The hot weapon cavalry entered the array and immediately dismounted, they had already loaded their own guns and mini guns, at this time they were going to shoot with their infantry brothers to kill the enemy, and when they found the enemy fleeing, they would only carry the loaded guns on their backs to participate in the pursuit of the remnants.

Looking at the less than 2,000 men and horses that had been deployed in place, Sun Yuanhua, who had seen extraordinary, smiled, he used to defend the city in Ningyuan, and the Guanning Army was known as the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty, but their spiritual outlook was not at all comparable to these energetic young people around them.

He is familiar with the performance of artillery, and he has already let go of the five Furlong one-pound guns under his command, and knows that the Tartar cavalry must be looking for death when they rush up, even if the Tartars come to surpass the horses of our soldiers who have been arrayed, what will happen? It's not a problem to win this battle!

With the expectation of a big victory, Sun Yuanhua temporarily forgot that he was going to die on the battlefield, and at this time he just wanted to choose the right time to fire the cannon and kill and injure as many Tartars as possible.

"Boom boom!" The momentum of the galloping of the five thousand war horses was extraordinary, and the earth was trembling, but the hands of the musketeers of the "Red Banner Army" holding their own guns were still steady, and the few cold weapons, sword and shield bearers, and pikemen, all looked at the smoke and dust raised in the north with contemptuous eyes.

Cheng Liyong's fifty-six men were ready, and the loader had already completed the loading of eighteen guns, one of which had been loaded into the chamber of the gun, pierced the gunpowder bag through the fire door, and inserted the fuse.

In order to improve the efficiency of the next fire, Sun Yuanhua asked the gunner to pierce the fuse on the gunpowder package in the five guns in advance, so that the guns could be directly ignited and fired.

Sun Yuanhua skillfully adjusted the focus of the clairspace in his hand, and knocked out the Tartar cavalry group that had entered the three-mile range clearly.

At that time, his fantasy was to train a strong army to rely on artillery fire to conquer Jiannu in the east and attack the Tartars in the north, but who knew that the troops he trained did not fight for the country once, but destroyed half of Shandong.

Unexpectedly, he was supposed to be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he was able to get the opportunity to shell the Tartars.
