Damuddin was about to take a few steps back, leaning against the low wall against these Ming troops, when suddenly he heard the sound of vibrations on the ground behind him, which made him stop immediately.

Although the first platoon of cavalry where Damuddin was almost killed and wounded, it also succeeded in destroying the Ming army's trench and the defense line of the low wall.

Especially in the first trench, because the dead and wounded knights rushed directly into the trench, the spearmen of the Ming army lost their positions and fled back behind the low wall, and the corpses of these Mongol warriors also filled a passage in the trench.

This allowed the follow-up Golden Horde to step directly on the corpses of their companions and pass through the first line of defense of the Ming army.

Once these Mongol cavalry broke through the Ming army's defensive line, they suddenly showed great power on the flat ground. In just a few breaths, the five or six cavalrymen standing beside Damudin had already killed the twenty or thirty Ming soldiers who had surrounded them.

Damuddin, who turned the corner, did not entangle with these Ming troops in the same place, he immediately commanded the cavalry around him to get out of the way and rushed towards the Ming defense line to the north. For these armored samurai, except for the ranks of spearmen, neither archers nor firearms can fight back.

Mao Yuanyi, who was on the high platform, observed the defensive front in front of the battlefield, and in his eyes, Damuddin's team of men and horses was like throwing a stone into the calm lake, and the ripples quickly spread to the entire lake.

The Ming army's originally orderly front soon became chaotic, and the enemy's cavalry appeared more and more on the hill, and the Ming army's front soon fell to the brink of collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that some squad-level spearmen took the initiative to step forward and block these Mongol cavalry from continuing to expand their gains, I am afraid that the entire defense line would have completely lost control.

Mao Yuanyi put down the binoculars, turned his head to the staff officer beside him and ordered: "Let the sergeants on the front line of defense withdraw as planned, and all the reserves will enter the second line of defense and prepare to deal with the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry." Get Forts 1-4 ready..."

When Mao Yuanyi was giving orders, he suddenly remembered what he had just seen, so he emphasized: "The firing position is given priority to the musketeers, and the archers are used as auxiliary troops." ”

In the course of the battle he had just seen, he found that even if the Mongol armored soldiers were hit by seven or eight arrows, they could still fight with their swords, but those who were hit by musket bullets often lost their ability to move immediately, especially the bullets of heavy arquebuses, which could not even be guarded against iron armor.

However, it is a pity that the two arquebuses made by the Beijing Firearms Workshop, even if the emperor allocated 500 Type 1 heavy arquebuses and 2,000 Type 2 light arquebuses to the front line for the purpose of battlefield testing.

But less than half of the soldiers in the battalion seemed to trust old-fashioned firearms and bows and arrows.

"After this battle, these soldiers must be forced to accept and use these arquebuses." After Mao Yuanyi rearranged the defensive position, he thought so in his heart.

When Damuddin felt that the fighting around him was beginning to weaken, he had time to look up at the battlefield around him.

Beside him, the corpses of the Ming army and the corpses of their comrades lay on the ground, but the corpses of the Ming army were obviously more numerous.

With a sharp and piercing tone, the surrounding Ming army, which seemed to be unable to kill anything, also began to withdraw to the rear in an orderly manner.

The remaining Mongolian knights in the vicinity began to gather around Damuddin. Only then did Damuddin realize that less than 100 of the 300 Golden Horde warriors who were in the vanguard were intact. The other knights, with the exception of 5 or 60 lightly wounded, were already lying on the ground, showing no signs of life.

Although these Golden Horde warriors suffered heavy losses, the Ming army left three times as many corpses, which can also be described as a brilliant victory.

However, Damuddin knew in his heart that this account could not be calculated in this way. Compared with these Ming soldiers, every Golden Horde warrior was the heart and soul of the Great Khan, and they all went through more than 10 years of martial arts and riding training before they could stand out from the tribes and become a Golden Horde warrior who did not produce anything.

300 Golden Horde warriors can defeat thousands of ordinary cavalry on the plains. A small hill can make them lose two-thirds of their combat effectiveness, which is simply unimaginable to him.

Damuddin's confusion did not last long, and Huluk Zhaisang had already rushed to the top of the mountain with the follow-up troops. He was pleasantly surprised to break through the Ming army's defense line so quickly, so he personally led his men to the front line.

No one in the army mentioned the merits of Damudin and his subordinates, but gathered around Hulu Kezhai Sang and praised his wise and martial plan, which was the focus of breaking through the Ming army's defense line.

Damuddin and the junior officers who had taken the lead to the top of the hill were quickly disbanded and led their men to fill in the trenches and carry the corpses.

The Mongol nobles who were supervising the battle in the rear stood on the edge of the battlefield surrounded this Huluk Zhaisan, and it seemed that they were the heroes who captured this hill. They boasted to each other as if they had taken over the entire hill.

Damuddin followed his Baihu Luo Busang and was reporting to him the strangeness of the second line of defense of the Ming army.

Fifty paces west of the low walled line, the Ming army erected a slanted wooden fence. The wooden fences were made of aspen with a bowl of mouth, cut into a length of about two meters, and then sharpened to about a quarter below the ground, and the trunks were firmly bound together with ropes.

Viewed from the direction of Damudin, there is no flat place in these wooden fences, but rather as if they are connected by funnels. The broad side faced them, while the bottom of the funnel pointed to the Ming army himself.

There are about 20 horses at the entrance, but no more than 3 or 4 horses at the bottom of the funnel. And the bottom of these passages is not a gap, but a zigzag turn to see the exit.

The entire wooden fence defense line looks like a rush out of the emergency work, but Damudin doesn't see it that way, whether it is the treated poplar stumps, or the ropes connecting the stumps, it is obviously impossible to prepare the materials.

Damuddin reported to his hundred-hundred-household, Lobusang, that the thin wooden fence might be a trap. In addition to the suspicions he had given them, the 50 paces left for them by the Ming army prevented the horses from increasing their speed, and the sharp corners of the wooden fence did not allow the horses to jump over.

Luo Busang looked at his men, and then at the high-spirited Huluke Zhaisang dozens of paces away, he really had no interest in mentioning this main general.

Although as the chief official, Huluk Zhaisang can also be regarded as a close confidant of the Great Khan. But the Commander-in-Chief used the Golden Horde in such a way that he was using the Golden Horde as a slave camp to fill the trenches.

This made Rob Sang very annoyed, and what made him even more annoyed was that after capturing the hill, the chief officer wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so that the Golden Horde, who had basically lost their combat effectiveness, retreated down the mountain.

Unlike the ignorant barbarians like Damuddin, Robsang, who is a hundred households, can still perceive the political struggle within the Chahar Ministry.

At the very least, he knew that the Great Khan had always wanted to weaken the tribal leaders' control over the tribal forces. He had always wanted to establish a khanate that could truly intervene in the affairs of the tribes, just like his ancestor Genghis Khan.

However, the tribal leaders of the Chahar tribe have always resisted the Great Khan's policy of confiscating their power, and even did not hesitate to secretly collude with the Jurchens.

As the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, the heir of the Great Yuan, the only people who can really make Lin Dan Khan like an arm are these Golden Horde warriors under his account.

Therefore, regardless of Hulukzhaisan's previous thoughts, his command, which caused the Golden Horde to suffer heavy losses, had already made Rob Sang regard him as an unreliable object.

He had no intention of reminding Hulu Kezhaisang, nor did he think that the chief official would listen to the warnings of one of his small households. He just wanted to bring back the remaining Golden Horde warriors now and preserve his strength for the Great Khan.

Rob Sang instructed his men to carry the corpse of his colleague down the mountain, and while pretending to remind Hulu Kezhaisang, he walked to his side, talked a few words with the chief officer, and then walked back unhappily.

"Let's go now, let the chief officer and the sycophants beside him go and enjoy their victory..."After Robsan returned, he roared angrily at his subordinates, and then led the way down the mountain without looking back.

On the other side, Huluk Zhaisang seemed to notice the movement here, lowered his face and said something to the people around him, and stopped paying attention to these Golden Horde warriors who had suffered heavy casualties.

As for the second line of defense set up by the Ming army on the top of the mountain, Huluke Zhaisang did not think that it was designed, and it should be a temporary move by the Ming army out of desperation. Nearly a third of the area has not been fenced with wooden fences, which seems to confirm his suspicions.

Although the Golden Horde retreated due to heavy losses, he believed that the current situation could be solved by his troops alone. At the foot of the mountain, there were three thousand-strong troops, who were taking turns to contain the Ming army's vehicle formation, making it impossible for them to flank their own rear roads and assist the Ming army on the hill.

And the Ming army on the hill seems to be only 3 or 4 thousand people, such a number cannot compete with 2 thousand cavalry teams, Hulu Kezhai Sang is so convinced.

He immediately issued an order to concentrate his troops mainly in the southeast, because the Ming army's wooden fence defense line was still mainly in the northeast, and there was still a third of the area in the south that had not had time to set up a defense line.

The gap of more than half a mile to the south was enough for him to bypass the wooden fence and attack the Ming army's front from the side.

He immediately ordered 3 100-man teams to contain the attack in the northeast, and the other 5 100-man teams bypassed the Ming defense line from the south and attacked the Ming army's position from the south to the north. The rest waited in the southeast, ready to support the attacking forces at any time.

Huluk Zhaisang's plan was very good, but he ordered a detour to the south to flank the Ming army's troops, but it completely became a target for the Ming army.

Unlike the funnels enclosed by wooden fences in the northeast, a straight wooden fence of more than 200 meters was built in the south of the Ming army's defense line, which was not continuous, and there were many small gaps.

But on these gaps, there are spearmen of the Ming army blocked there. Behind the other wooden fences were the musketeers and archers of the Ming army, and when these Mongol cavalry made a detour to the south and did not raise the speed, they became the target of the Ming army's practice shooting.

At first, some cavalry tried to attack the seemingly low wooden fences, but they soon realized that turning in this situation not only hindered the progress of the entire army, but also put themselves and their companions in danger.

After losing half a hundred-man team, someone finally came to his senses, shouted and continued to move forward, avoiding these Ming shooters, and bypassing the southwest of the hilltop.

The shooting route of the Ming army, which was more than 200 meters, quickly ran over, but the horses that had just increased their speed kept falling. Soon it was discovered that on the seemingly flat ground, the despicable Ming army dug a lot of traps and many four-sided nails.

In order to avoid the Ming fire on the previous route, many knights spurred their mounts at a higher speed. This made them know that this area was full of traps, and they couldn't stay.

Some riders were so busy dodging the traps in front of them that they forgot that there was a steep cliff to the south, so they sprinted down with men and horses, leaving only a scream.

The knights, who had been halted by this sudden blow, had to worry not only about the impact of their companions who were still unclear behind them, but also endured the volley of Ming archers facing the south.

Under this fierce blow, the cavalry, which had not yet picked up speed, turned around and ran back on the spot, regardless of the fire of the Ming troops on the flank.

The first flanking attack of the 5 centurians lost almost half of their manpower. The three hundred-man teams responsible for the feint attack in the north, seeing this, also retreated after dropping 3 or 40 people.

Such a defeat silenced the Mongolian nobles around Huluk Zhaisang, and Huluke Zhaisang couldn't accept this situation and became furious.
