Seeing the Ming cavalry behind them rushing over, the Mongols could not escape.

Although Wu Keshan was unwilling in his heart, he could only restrain the reins of the horse and stop to meet the enemy, otherwise the entire Horqin would be finished.

With a "poof", Wu Keshan suddenly pulled out his scimitar, looked at the Mongolian warriors behind him, and said without nonsense, just said loudly: "For the sake of Great Mongolia!" ”

When many Mongolian warriors heard the words and understood the meaning of the Great Khan, they also raised their scimitars, but they did not speak, but just stared at Wu Keshan.

The latter's eyes slowly scanned, and when he saw the immature and old faces, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he pointed his knife at the rushing Ming army, and his mouth was a loud shout, "Meet the enemy!" ”

With that, he took the reins of his horse and ran to the back of the group, and the Mongol warriors knew that they could only fight for one battle, and if the Ming people took their cattle and sheep, they would starve to death in the wasteland of the Northlands.

The horn sounded, and a magnificent picture of war was staged on the Horqin grassland.

The Ming army's horse army was like a flood, rushing towards the Mongols, and was about to drown the Horqin people who fled for their lives on the grassland, and at this time, with the sound of the horn, the men of Horqin stepped on their horses, gathered in the opposite direction of the team, and launched a head-on charge against the Ming army.

The Mongolian men guarding the herdsmen, cattle and sheep on both sides turned their horses' heads, raised their scimitars, and roared loudly, "Immortal Heaven is above!" Bless the sons and daughters of the steppe! ”

As Wu Keshan rushed back to meet the Ming army, there were more and more Mongols behind him, and by the time he broke away from the herdsmen and sheep, behind his Khan banner, there were already 20,000 Korqin warriors.

Mongolian women and children, driving their vehicles, looked back, and saw that the men had turned to meet the enemy, and they would fight a decisive battle with the powerful Ming Dynasty to buy them time to escape, and they couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

However, this kind of thing happens from time to time on the steppe, and the women of Mongolia are extremely strong, they are eager to wave their horsewhips and drive vehicles, and they can't let the men's efforts be in vain.

In the car, an old woman with a wrinkled face sat in her arms, and she took her young children into her arms and hugged their heads tightly.

After breaking away from the herdsmen, Wu Keshan reined in the reins of his horse, and the Mongolian cavalry behind him immediately gathered behind the Khan banner, and in a moment there was a sharp arrow formation with less front and more back.

At this time, the Ming army advanced like a wall, and the cavalry on each wall were close together, only three feet apart from the cavalry in the same row, that is to say, this hedge did not stagger, and if you want to break the wall, you must kill the Ming army that is coming on, otherwise you will be knocked away by the Ming army.

And there was not just one such wall, but there were twenty walls in all, and each wall was about ten paces apart.

"Fight to the death!" Seeing that the Ming army was in front of him, only two miles away, Wu Keshan pointed his sword, and the Mongolian warriors behind him raised their weapons one after another, followed by a roar, "Fight to the death!" ”

The 20,000 Mongol cavalry immediately began to rush forward, and the war horses slowly accelerated from jogging, and finally reached the extreme.

Seeing this, the cavalry of the Ming army also sped up, and the cavalry in the first row was wearing a cuirass, wearing a ghost face on his face, and the head of the war horse was also wrapped in armor.

The body of the cavalry undulated with the war horse, blending into one, the cavalry horses in the front row marched together, and the sharp horse lance and three-eyed gun were also on the same line.

Tan Tai and other generals, seeing that the Mongolian cavalry had increased their speed, he sneered, and unconsciously clamped the horse's belly with his legs and whipped to speed up.

The Mongols formed an arrow formation, galloped on horseback, and attacked the Ming army. This formation, which can concentrate the forces of the Mongols, is like a sharp arrow, scattering the Ming army.

In fact, the Mongols were all light cavalry, and they were more adept at riding and shooting and fighting in the vast steppes, which was not suitable for frontal hedging.

It's just that at this time, if they don't block the Ming cavalry head-on, then the Ming cavalry will not fight with them, but will directly pounce on the Mongolian cattle, sheep and herdsmen.

It was difficult for the Ming army to transport grain on the steppe, and the Mongols lost their cattle and sheep, so they had no chance to transport them, so they could only starve to death.

Wu Keshan had no choice but to use the inferiorly equipped Mongolian light cavalry to hedge against the well-equipped Ming cavalry.

"Kill them all!" Tan Tai couldn't help but roar when he saw the Mongolian cavalry coming up, and when he saw the herdsmen driving their vehicles and sheep north.

The cavalry of the two sides, at great speed, showed no signs of stopping, and rushed straight towards each other.

Ten thousand hooves trampled the earth, splashed pieces of dust, and the impact of the horse army shaking the mountains shook like a mountain torrent, shaking the entire Horqin grassland.

Since Emperor Chengzu attacked Mongolia in the north, the Ming Dynasty never used so many cavalry to penetrate deep into the Mongolian steppe.

The sound of "bang bang bang" sounded, and a dense projectile was shot out with the power of gunpowder, and the oncoming Mongolian cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, and the Ming army also fell from their horses under the arrows of the Mongols.

However, the Ming army was well-equipped, many arrows were shot on the body, but most of them were bounced off, and the arrows of the Mongols could not break through the cuirass of the Ming army, and could only cause damage to some unimportant parts, but the projectiles of the Ming army knocked the Mongols down.

In this battle, the Ming army had the upper hand, but before the soldiers could rejoice, the two armies had already collided together.

Because the formation of the Ming army was too tight, the gap between the war horses was too small, and as soon as the two sides collided, they immediately saw the soldiers being knocked and thrown away.

The two torrents of steel collided violently, spears pierced, blunt instruments swung together, and the screams of people and the neighing of war horses intertwined, and the snowflakes bloomed, almost crushing.

The scimitars of the Mongols, when facing the cuirass of the Ming army, the disadvantage was obvious, and the front of the arrow formation was immediately like shooting an iron plate, but fortunately they still chiseled through the first wall, but at the moment when they broke through, the Ming cavalry of the second wall raised their horse lances.

A Mongolian centurion, wielding a knife to kill a Ming cavalryman, came out through the wall, the knife was still held high and did not be withdrawn, but the cavalry on the second wall stabbed with a horse lance, he wanted to dodge, but next to this Ming cavalry, it was also a cavalry like him who raised a horse lance.

The cavalry of the Ming army was closely arranged, as if he had hit a fast-advancing gun forest on horseback, and before he could react, he was stabbed away from the war horse and fell heavily to the ground, and was trampled into meat by the Ming cavalry in an instant.

The Mongolian cavalry emphasized more on individual bravery and cavalry and archery ability, but the Ming army was different, the Ming army was inferior to the Mongols in riding and riding archery, but the Ming army had strict discipline and relied on collective strength.

The cavalry of the Ming army advanced like a wall, and the Mongols broke five walls in a row, but in the entire arrow array, the Mongolian cavalry that rushed as arrows all died on the way to charge.

The original charge, because the cavalry direct gap is large, the two sides can stagger through, the war horse passes through the gap, a hedging process, there is no need to fight with no opponent encountered, but the Ming army is arranged into a wall, and the Mongols in front of each wall need to defeat a Ming army, and a Mongolian warrior, it is impossible to defeat five Ming troops in a row, and may not be beaten by the Ming army's fire when they are not in contact.

Wu Keshan, who was in the cavalry, saw that the Ming army was like a mudslide, and how many Mongolian cavalry crashed into it, how many were engulfed, and he was extremely frightened in his heart.

He didn't know that this was actually a duel between a cavalry that was close to modernity and a traditional cavalry.

Later, in the internal competition of the Ming army, Qin Shangxing and Zhao Shenkuan's cavalry were defeated by Zhang Cunren's cavalry, and the Ming army began to adopt new training methods, focusing on the discipline and organization of the cavalry, and strengthening the role of low-level officers, rather than emphasizing individual bravery and cavalry ability.

When Wu Keshan saw the Mongolian cavalry, it was like a sharp arrow hitting the iron plate, and the arrow was broken, and the wooden pole behind it naturally could not pierce the iron plate.

"Order, withdraw!"

The sound of the horn rushed to the sky, and the Mongolian cavalry immediately grabbed the reins of the horse, so that the horse changed direction, and dispersed to both sides with superb riding skills, but the Mongols who rushed in front did not have time to change direction, and the Ming army crushed up like a wall, wiped out the cavalry that collided, and broke through the Mongol barrier in a moment.

At this time, the herdsmen of Horqin had not gone far, and there was a great achievement waiting for Tan Tai, he ignored the Mongolian cavalry that was counted on both sides, pointed his sword, and led the cavalry to pounce on the Mongolian herdsmen.

The cavalry of the Ming army was like a pack of hungry wolves, pounced on the sheep that had no ability to resist, and Wu Keshan and the Mongols scattered to the two wings were like sheepdogs protecting the sheep, they watched the wolves rush towards the sheep, wanting to protect the sheep, but they did not dare to step forward to stop them, they could only bark on both sides, trying to scare away the wolves, but the wolves ignored them and crashed directly into the sheep.

The Mongolian cavalry scattered on both sides regained their advantage, rounded up, long-distance cavalry and shooting, harassed the Ming army, did not fight hard with the Ming army, the Ming army chased after them and they fled immediately, but after a while, they came back to attack and harass, stopping the Ming army, but the Ming army was killed among the Mongolian herdsmen.

The Ming army came up from behind, slashing left and right, and the grassland immediately flowed with blood, and the fear made the Mongols in front of them no longer get the flock, desperately whipping the horses, and driving the vehicles to flee for their lives.

Shunzhi and Bumu Butai kept crashing into the carriage in the bumps, the carriage was mixed with the fleeing team and galloped wildly, suddenly the wheels of the carriage touched a raised stone, and the whole carriage flew up.

Fu Lin saw her body rolling on the lawn, and suddenly shouted in pain, "Eniang~" But the carriage didn't stop, and Bumu Butai's figure disappeared in a moment······
