It turned out that the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry stationed in the Pearl Sea estimated that Xu Xingxia and the others had returned to Zhenyuan Pass, so they deliberately loosened the defensive line and let these Mongolian cavalry go south. They knew very well that there was a big pit in Zhenyuanguan, waiting for the Mongols to jump down! The white-clothed army has a chariot battalion, an artillery battalion, and three or two thousand Mongolian cavalry, which is simply not enough to see. As a result, this group of Mongolian cavalry arrived at Zhenyuan Pass smoothly.

"Rush forward!"

"Kill those Ming soldiers!"

Lin Dan Khan was also in good spirits and immediately ordered.

This new new force happened to play the striker, and went up to touch the bottom of the white-clothed army.

The people he originally brought to Zhenyuan Pass were all his personal guards, the best and best Mongolian cavalry, and they were all his treasure bumps, which could not be easily used to explore the way. The Mongolian cavalry that came later was actually the elite of the tribe, much better than the ordinary cavalry. If it was a change of place, another time, or another opponent, Lin Dan Khan would not be willing to use them to explore the way. But, for now, only let them go up.

Lin Dan Khan believed that the white-clothed army led by Xu Xingxia would definitely not be able to stop the sharp assault of the Mongol cavalry. He was quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under his command. In this pursuit of Xu Xingxia, all the cavalry he brought were iron lance cavalry! All of them are elite! He was also particularly confident that the Mongols were much purer than the Tatars in the use of Mangu tactics. The Tatar ginseng mixed in too many things, which only reduced the power of the mangus. Only the Mongol cavalry of the Tumut tribe brought the Mangu tactics to the extreme.

The so-called Mangu is the most proficient in the Mongols' turning back arrow technique. By luring the enemy to follow you, then suddenly turn around and release the arrow, you can easily take out the opponent with one arrow. If the opponent refuses to catch up, he will continue to harass the perimeter with a bow and arrow until the opponent can no longer bear it and falls into chaos. In the past, Genghis Khan and his subordinates used such tactics extensively, killing from the eastern continent to the banks of the Danube.

For the Mangu tactics, the Mongols' opponents have never been able to crack it. Perhaps, wearing thick heavy armor, he could block the killing of the Mongols' arrows and prevent the Mongols from rushing up. But, again, being bound by heavy armor, they were unable to pursue the Mongols and effectively inflict damage on them. In the end, the light and agile Mongol cavalry, often smoothly dominated the entire battlefield, laying the foundation for the final victory.

"Kill!"

The Mongol cavalry did not hesitate at all, shouted, and then rushed forward with great momentum. Since they are iron lance cavalry, they naturally have to raise the iron lance to create a dense forest of guns, giving the enemy a strong sense of deterrence. However, if you are deceived by this appearance, the end will definitely be miserable. Because, all the iron lance cavalry, at the same time, are also the archers. Under the cover of the iron lance, their riding and shooting are the most vicious.

The so-called iron lance is actually similar to a spear, but the head of the spear is slightly different. The biggest feature of the iron lance is that the barrel of the gun is very rich. This leads to the difficulty of controlling the iron lance, which is much higher than that of the spear, and is not used well by ordinary people. In fact, the iron lance is used well, and the spear is not a problem at all. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, many military generals were masters of using iron lances. Later, however, the lance was gradually phased out and replaced by an easy-to-use spear. After the advent of firearms, the status of the iron lance declined even more, and there were not many people who even knew the name of the iron lance.

Why did the Ming Dynasty build 50,000 iron lances for Lin Dan Khan? Is there something special in this? Isn't there some hidden secret? Outsiders may not know. But what is certain is that the weapon of the iron lance, in the Han army, has been completely eliminated. No one knows how to use the lance. Lin Dan Khan's iron lance cavalry, how to use the iron lance, they all figured it out by themselves.

In fact, strictly speaking, Lin Dan Khan's 50,000 iron lance cavalry was first the archers, and then the iron lance cavalry. Their sharpest point lies in their mounted archery, especially their mangu tactics. If you don't understand the basic principles of Mangu's tactics, or if your own army's training and equipment are not suitable for Mangu's tactics, when you encounter the Mongol cavalry, the end will definitely be miserable, and it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated.

However, the White Army is an alternative, or an alternative within an alternative. Xu Xingxia, who came from later generations, how could he not know the Mangu tactics of the Mongols? During the regular training, he gave detailed explanations to the officers at all levels. Therefore, the soldiers of the White Army are quite proficient in how to crack the Mangu tactics. After the two sides met in the Pearl Sea, the Mongol cavalry tried to use the Mangu tactics to deal with the Eagle Cavalry stragglers, but as a result, the Eagle Cavalry stragglers calculated and cracked them one by one, which made the Mongol cavalry pay a heavy price.

The Mongol cavalry that launched the attack survived by luck. In the vicinity of the Pearl Sea, they were tortured by the stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry for several days, and they all held their breath. The stragglers of the Eagle Cavalry, whose whereabouts are erratic, always appear when they are least alert, and when they succeed, they immediately flee away, so that they cannot even find anyone to take revenge. In just a few days, the Mongol cavalry was tortured to the point of collapse.

Now, they've finally found a place to vent. Those hateful white-clothed soldiers are right in front of them, as long as they rush up and kill them, they can vent all their grievances and anger, and they can avenge their dead comrades. When their hearts were agitated, they all shouted loudly in their hearts: "White-clothed army, all go to death!" ”

"Put!"

Yun Qifeng broke off with a snort.

The artillery battalion, which was on standby, immediately threw the explosives pack.

Several packets of explosives of various sizes flew down exactly in the middle of the Mongol cavalry archers.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Several loud noises came in a row, and the entire town around Yuanguan was shaken by the ground, and the dust covered the sky. Columns of black smoke of different sizes rose up in the Gobi Desert, covering half of the sky. Everyone's vision became blurred in an instant. The dazzling fire from the explosion also stung the eyes of many people. The frightened horses ran around, and the owner kept shouting and whipping, which led to even more chaos on the scene.

With a loud bang, those Mongolian cavalry archers were suddenly blown up and fell off their horses. For those unfortunate Mongol cavalry, it is absolutely impossible to get close to the white-clothed army, not to mention the Mangu tactics. Many of the Mongol cavalry had lost consciousness without even figuring out what was going on. Occasionally, one or two who were not bombed were also stunned by the sight in front of them, and did not know what to do.

The artillery battalion of the White Army learned a lot of new things when summing up the lessons and lessons. They launch explosive packs, large, medium and small, covering all enemies in it. They have been stationed in Zhenyuan Pass for a long time, marked every position on the battlefield, calculated the strength and angle, and only needed to throw explosive packs according to the measured values. This practice already has the idea of the calculation and design of artillery in later generations.

The Mongolian cavalry, who was caught off guard, of course, suffered a big loss. They had never been attacked by explosive packs and were clearly unable to cope. A large number of war horses fell to the ground, a large number of personnel fell to the ground, and the shock formation of the Mongolian cavalry was immediately disrupted. Some people can't see the surrounding situation clearly because of their poor vision, and they are frightened, so they inevitably run around. There were constantly disoriented Mongol cavalry, ramming each other, causing even more confusion.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The musketeers of the White Army also opened fire.

One by one, the Mini bullets roared away, and the Mongolian cavalry archers who were close to the Zhenyuan Pass suddenly fell one after another. The finger-sized Mini bullet is absolutely fatal to a war horse galloping up at high speed. Its lethality is even more powerful than the Black Feather Arrow. Where is the strength of the human body comparable to the power of gunpowder? As long as the war horse is hit by a Mini bullet, it will immediately be the consequence of falling to its knees. The war horse knelt down, and the people on horseback were generally thrown out fiercely, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

For this set, the white-clothed army is so familiar that they can't be more familiar. Even with their eyes closed, they know what to do. For them, where there were the greatest number of Mongol cavalry, they fired in whichever direction. Their shooting, the pursuit of the approximate hit rate, there is no need to aim accurately. In battle, what they need most is to be fast. Reload quickly, aim quickly, and shoot quickly in order to fire the largest Minnie bullet in the shortest time and achieve the best killing effect.

However, for those Mongol cavalry, they were completely defeated. The guns of the white-clothed army, in front of them, formed a blockade of death. With previous combat experience, the platoon guns of the white army shot more accurately, more effectively, and more ferociously. No matter how fast their horses run, no matter how light their movements are, what awaits them in the end is either death or injury.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw quickly!"

Lin Dan Khan found that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted.

The entourage beside him hurriedly rang the gong and called the gold to withdraw the troops.

The remnants of the Mongol cavalry, having received the order to retreat, hurriedly turned around and retreated. However, they retreated, and the guns of the white-clothed army did not mean to stop firing in the slightest. As a result, in the process of retreating, at least twenty or thirty more Mongol cavalry archers fell under the guns of the white-clothed army. As for how many people were trampled to death by the hooves of their companions after landing, no one knows. In the end, Lin Dan Khan sent people to roughly count, and in just half a pillar of effort, they killed more than 100 people, and hundreds of others were wounded.

"Damn ......" Lin Dan Khan was almost dripping blood. In such a short impact, he paid the price of hundreds of dead and more than 100 wounded. Why are the guns of the white-clothed army so powerful? It's sharper than the Grim Reaper's scythe! Fortunately, it was able to withdraw quickly and get out of the range of the guns of the white-clothed army, otherwise, the number of dead and wounded would have been even higher. These white-clothed soldiers are all perverts! How can their guns be so powerful? The Ming army in other places, is the gun so powerful?

The latter thought surprised Lin Dan Khan. If the Ming army in other places is also so powerful, he, the golden sweat, is afraid that he will not be able to do it. The Han army was so strong, it was strange that he was able to unify the steppes. It is impossible for every powerful Han dynasty to let all the tribes of the steppe be unified under one name. Because, what followed must be a large-scale attack by the nomadic cavalry on the Central Plains Dynasty. Wuhu Chaohua is a typical example.

Fortunately, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the Ming army in Datong Town and Xuanfu Town could not be so powerful. At least, last year, neither of the Ming troops in these two military towns was equipped with such powerful muskets. Perhaps, only the white-clothed army received by Xu Xingxia has such powerful guns, right? Could it be that he actually invented different guns? More power and longer range? This Xu Xingxia really can't be underestimated!

For the nomadic cavalry, what they were most worried about was not the artillery of the Han army, but the musket of the Han army. After all, on the battlefield, the power of artillery is quite limited and cannot have a decisive effect on the entire battlefield. The number of artillery pieces was also limited, and a hundred Ming troops could not get a single artillery. The mobility of artillery is poor, and it is basically impossible to use in the field. These are the shortcomings of artillery. The Nomad cavalry only needed to address these shortcomings in order to effectively avoid the damage that the artillery could cause.

However, muskets are different. Muskets are absolutely impossible to avoid. The probability of the Ming army using muskets is too high. The Ming army in the nine-sided town, the penetration rate of firearms has exceeded seventy. Fortunately, the guns currently used by the Ming army generally have a range of only about 15 zhang, which is a little worse than the effective range of the Mongols' bows and arrows.

This is very critical. This meant that the Mongols could shoot arrows and kill the Ming musketeers outside the effective range of their muskets. If the range of the Ming muskets was longer than the Mongols' bows and arrows, the situation would be reversed, and the Ming musketeers could shoot the Mongol cavalry archers between they could fire their arrows. It can be said that the distance between 10 and 20 zhang determines the basic battle victory or defeat of the two armies.

In the battle just now, the range of the muskets of the white-clothed army obviously exceeded the range of the bows and arrows of the Mongolian cavalry archers, and even exceeded the range of more than three or four times. Roughly calculated, the effective range of the muskets of the white-clothed army is at least seventy or eighty zhang! Many of the Mongol cavalry archers were killed by a single shot before they could even pull the bowstring. Think about it, if such a situation were played out in every battlefield, would the Mongols still have a way to live? Do you still dare to start a fight?

"No...... No, ......," Lin Danhan muttered to himself.

After the guns of the white-clothed army had stopped, the Mongol cavalry sent people to drag back all their wounded and corpses. Lin Dan Khan had to take a closer look at the guns of the Ming army, what kind of powerful method it was. As a result, after inspecting the condition of these wounded and corpses, Lin Danhan felt more and more that his backbone was a little cold. Fortunately, it was this group of Mongolian cavalry that had just arrived that launched the first wave of attacks, otherwise, what awaited them would have been an even more tragic fate. If you don't make it, half of the guards around him will die.

The Mongolian cavalry archers who were killed and wounded by muskets, that's okay to say. The fatal injuries they received came from the projectile the size of a finger. In essence, the muskets used by the white-clothed army should not be much different from those used by other Ming troops. The only difference is that the muskets of the white-clothed army have a longer range and are more powerful. Since he didn't see the real thing of Yue Yue, Lin Dan Khan naturally couldn't judge how powerful the musket of the white-clothed army was.

However, the corpses of the Mongolian cavalry archers, who were blown to pieces by explosives packs, were a bit more tragic. A fifty-pound bag of explosives is definitely no joke. Some of the Mongol cavalry were even completely shattered by the bombing. Rao is Lin Dan Khan, who is used to seeing big scenes, also had to hide his face and leave. The Mongolian cavalry archers beside him were also secretly frightened. In this small Zhenyuan Pass, there is actually such a powerful weapon?

Lin Dan Khan had a good relationship with the Ming army, and he was also familiar with the equipment of the Ming army. He knew that the Ming army was in the border fortress and was equipped with artillery. The more important the pass fortress, the greater the number of artillery pieces it can be equipped with. Among them, the largest number is the Francophone artillery. However, the guns fired by the Franc machine are all solid projectiles, and even if a person is hit, there will be no such terrible effect. What kind of artillery is used by the White Army?

"Can anyone tell me? What's going on? Lin Danhan asked the people around him.

No one was able to answer. Most of the people around him haven't woken up from the shock just now. Rao is resourceful and loose, and he is also at a loss. He vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't describe it in detail. As for Gui Yingcha, he kept touching the sweat on his forehead. He is also a warrior of the Tumut tribe, and he was actually scared out of a cold sweat. This Xu Xingxia seems to be quite difficult to mess with! If they had just charged, they would have died.

It is no wonder that the Kyllegin tribe, in just one year, has fallen to the point of extermination. It turned out that they had actually met such a terrifying opponent. In terms of the power of the guns of the white-clothed army, not to mention the third-rate Helkin tribe, even if they encounter the Tumut tribe, they can't please it! In the future, if they meet the White Army again, God knows what the result will be? For a time, a huge shadow hung over the head of every Mongol.

"Xu Xingxia!"

"I won't let you go!"

"I'm going to let you die of torture!"

Lin Danhan gritted his teeth and scolded. The series of blows made Lin Dan Khan a little hysterical. Suddenly, he pulled out his golden waist knife and slashed his arm fiercely, and blood suddenly gushed out. This is a bloody will, which is much more solemn than swearing to the heavens. This knife is cut, which is equivalent to a hatred between him and Xu Xingxia, which can only be dissolved if one party dies.

"Withdraw!"

"Go back to Naturalization City!"

Lin Danhan waved his hand stupidly, drooped his head, turned around and left.

He had to go. If you continue to stay here, you will only suffer casualties in vain. He can't let his elite subordinates die here. I have to go back to Naturalization City and then find a way. As for Tessna, there is no choice but to forget about her! She is already Xu Xingxia's property!
