Izhbis looked at the dejected subordinates in front of him, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded. Less than half an hour ago, he still had a whole team of 1,000 horsemen, a little short of a thousand, but there were also 981 majestic knights.

But it was only such a short period of time, except for the 3 centenarians who opened the way, and the 2 centenarians who served as reserves.

There were five high-spirited hundred-man troops attacking towards that small hill, but now standing in front of him were only four panicked remnants who had lost most of their half, and the Hazhnau Sea Division, which was the first to attack, had obviously been completely wiped out.

The five hundred-man team attacked, and less than 200 people escaped, and this loss had already damaged his thousand-man team.

He could even imagine how the tribal leaders would accuse him when he returned to the tribe. It immediately dawned on him that this hill was not a place that his thousand-man team could take on his own, and his subordinates could not increase their losses.

Izibis immediately stopped his attack and sent someone to ask for help from Lin Dan Khan in the rear, saying that he had encountered the main force of the Ming army.

Not an hour after the war began, he received a request for help from Izbis, which made Lin Dan Khan's mood very bad.

However, he didn't want to deal with Izbis now, so as not to chill the hearts of everyone under his command.

Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was considering who to replace Izibis to continue the attack on the hill, the two winged commanders, Tashhai and Huluk Zhaisan, each stood up and asked him to take the initiative to fight.

And his brother Tu Taiji and son Ezhe also asked him to lead troops to compete with the Ming army. Although the Chahar Department fought against the Houjin army, there were many defeats and few victories. But for the Ming army, which had lost most of Liaodong, they still felt a sense of superiority.

Moreover, there has been no conflict between the Chahar Department and the Ming State for decades, and the martial arts of the Ming army in the past have long been forgotten.

Being repelled so easily by the Ming people made these young nobles of the Chahar Department feel a deep sense of humiliation. Therefore, they can't wait and want to teach the Ming army a good lesson. Let these Ming people know that it is not only Houjin who can defeat them.

Seeing that his brothers and subordinates were begging for battle, Lin Dan Khan suddenly left the trace of unhappiness in his heart just now. In the perennial conquest of Tonghoujin and the surrounding tribes, the tribal nobles of the Chahar Department have long been exhausted by the continuous war.

It's been a long time since he's seen a scene like today. Most of the time, it's a scene of passing the buck.

Lin Dan Khan suddenly smiled and nodded to everyone, then looked at a burly military general and said, "Let Huluke Zhaisang lead two thousand-strong teams and give you another 300 Golden Horde warriors." How long will it take for Ben Khan to get that little mountain bag? ”

After hearing this, Huluk Zhaisang, who was kneeling on one knee, immediately looked up at Lin Dan Khan with a happy face and promised loudly: "Before the three incense sticks are burned out, I will take down the heads of the Ming people who offended the Great Khan for the Great Khan, so as to wash away the shame of Iribis." ”

Lin Dan Khan touched his beard and shouted, "Okay, if you really do it, you will be the * of my Chahar Department." Come, bring mare's milk wine, for our *strong deeds. ”

At the urging of Lin Dan Khan, one of the guards poured a copper bowl of mare's milk wine for Huluke Zhaisang with a leather bag, while another guard held an incense burner with three incense sticks and placed it in front of everyone.

Huluke Zhaisang drank the milky white mare's milk wine in the copper bowl in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, saluted Lin Dan Khan, and then turned around and walked outside the tent. At this time, the guards had just lit the first incense.

When the third incense burner was only a third of the way out, the Mongol nobles, who were standing on a hill outside the tent and watching the battle, suddenly saw the knights who had just attacked the top of the mountain with great momentum, and suddenly fled from the top of the mountain like a low tide.

The knights seemed to be frightened away, and did not choose the path at all when they fled. Some knights rode directly to the cliff to the south, and fell down; Some knights were inconvenient to go in the direction and rushed to the Ming chariot phalanx in the north and were killed by the Ming army; Only some of the knights who returned the same way escaped with their lives.

Everyone, including Lin Dan Khan, was confused and didn't know what was going on on the mountain, until one of the guards who had gone out with Huluk Zhaisang returned.

When Huluk Zhaisang arrived at the front with 2 thousand-man teams and 300 Golden Horde warriors, he learned about the previous defeat from the mouth of Izbis.

As a close confidant and important minister of Lin Dan Khan, Hulu Kezhai Sang did not have much respect for the cavalry from the vassal tribes such as Irbis.

When he learned about the defeat of Irbis, he thought it was because the passage up the mountain had not been cleared enough.

These passages could only accommodate four horses in parallel, and the short stakes left by some of the bushes prevented the cavalry from charging with all their might.

So he asked Izbiz and the remaining half of a thousand men to continue clearing the passage, forming 10 wide roads that could accommodate six horses charging side by side, and removing the short piles that appeared on the road.

According to the experience recounted by Izbis, the most troublesome thing for the Ming defense line was the breastwork and the trench under the wall. The cavalry, which had lost speed in front of this combined line, was immediately a target for bows and firearms behind the breastwork.

The short cavalry bows used by the Mongol cavalry were obviously not capable of firing at these rifles and firearms. Then the only way is to use the horse's sprint speed to directly crash through this line of defense. After all, this line of defense was only improvised, and because of the terrain, the spearmen were not very closely aligned, so there was a good chance of success.

Under the strict orders of Huluk Zhaisan, the remnants of the defeated army under the command of Izibis had to work hard to clear a large area of the shrubs on the hillside. After about a half-incense stick, Huluk Zhaisang's request was finally satisfied.

Immediately, Huluk Zhaisang divided the troops into 10 parts, and each passage corresponded to one army.

The order of attack of these troops was that 30 Golden Horde warriors in iron armor were the first to be attacked, and their task was to open the gap in the Ming army's defensive line.

After that, the first hundred-man team, the main task was to support the Golden Horde and help them widen the gap.

The task of the last hundred-man team was to follow the road opened by the troops in front of them, all the way to the heart of the Ming army's position, and completely defeat the Ming army on the hill.

These Golden Horde warriors did live up to Huluk's expectations, and the slope from the foot of the mountain to the hill was a long gentle slope of nearly 500 paces.

The Golden Horde rode in a line of 6 and formed a line of 5, with a distance of one horse's body between the front and rear rows, forming a charging formation.

Behind these 30 Golden Horde warriors, separated by 10 horses, was the first hundred-man team. This hundred-man team rode in a line of 5 and lined up in a line of 20.

Behind this hundred-man team is the last hundred-man team, and the spacing and arrangement are no different from the previous hundred-man team.

For a skilled knight, a horse from stationary to full charge will be roughly divided into four stages: walking, slowing, fast, and galloping.

A gentle slope of 500 paces is enough to complete the distance of a cavalryman from standing still to charging at full strength.

As the commander of the ten warriors under the tent of the Great Khan, Damuddin was even praised by the Great Khan himself for his bravery.

Although there are such rumors among the Mongolian tribes, saying that the current Golden Horde warriors are not as good as a group, not to mention that they cannot be compared with the period of Genghis Khan, even the so-called Eight Banners White Armor Soldiers formed by a mere Liaodong savage tribe are inferior.

For such rumors, Damuddin has always been angry. However, on the battlefield, the Golden Horde warriors were defeated several times by the Golden Eight Banners, but he was speechless to justify.

When Huluk Zhaisan came to select men, he was one of the few samurai who took the initiative to ask for battle, which made him favored by the chief officer Huluk Zhaisan. And he also went from being a captain of ten to leading the charge of 30 Golden Horde warriors.

Damuddin did not hesitate to put himself in the middle of the first row, and his heroic and fearless action immediately greatly boosted the morale of his companions.

As they marched up the hill in five marches, the Golden Horde warriors were almost leg to leg in the narrow passage.

The passage of 30 cavalry led by Damuddin was located on the third passage counted down from the north, and the width of this passage was not very neat, and in some places the protruding branches of the bushes and branches whipped the boots of the cavalry on both sides.

However, this terrain also made the attention of these cavalry more concentrated. Damuddin barely said a word as he controlled his horse uphill, and he poured all his energy into estimating the speed of the horses passing through this uphill passage.

He took advantage of the length of the slope almost perfectly, pushing the horses to the top speed as he approached the summit.

The cavalrymen who had fled from the hill had already told them about the fortifications on the hill. Therefore, when the speed of the mount reached its peak, Damuddin suddenly shouted a word like thunder: "Jump." ”

The spearmen of the Ming army leaned towards the spears on the hillside, about a height of about seven or eight meters above the ground. Under normal circumstances, horses will avoid the spearhead when they see it on their head.

But because of the squeezing of the narrow passage and the manipulation of these skilled knights, except for the northernmost horse in the first row, who bypassed the spear formation in front of him because of timidity, rushed into the bushes on the side and broke his leg, the other five horses all jumped into the air.

Of the five horses that jumped up, three of them hit the spears squarely, and the weight of hundreds of catties of people and horses, plus acceleration, suddenly broke these spears. Only Damuddin and one of the knights beside him rode their horses and jumped over the spear formation.

But neither of their horses could cross the low wall, and Damuddin quickly jumped off his horse and rolled into the low wall, dodging a round of firearms fire by the way.

But the other knight was not so lucky, and was almost shot in the head. He eventually fell into the trench with his horse, where he immediately overpowered several spearmen.

After Damuddin broke through the low wall, he rolled and stood up, wielding a single knife to slash and kill several archers around him who could not dodge, and the archers and firearms behind the low wall were immediately dispersed by him.

But as he pursued the archers, out of the corner of his eye, he quickly saw that a long line of spearmen from behind the enemy was coming towards him, as if to stab him to death.
